Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

A few days passed quickly.

Luo Zhimin withstood the pressure and was unwilling to continue causing trouble for Yaoling Agriculture's subordinate units.

Huang Keli didn't have any good solutions for the time being, since he didn't have the ability to remove Luo Zhimin directly, and he himself was also feeling the pressure from the province.

With the help of some concerned individuals, Luo Zhimin reported the issue to higher authorities, which attracted the attention of the province.

Everyone was then faced with a mountain of legal troubles. Huang Keli had to make several self-criticisms to the provincial authorities. Xiangling City held a meeting and, following the majority opinion, rescinded the penalties imposed on all units under Yaoling Agriculture.

However, no one mentioned the contracting matter, which was a way of saving face for Huang Keli.

Fang Wei once again experienced what it meant to be "this person is not simple". Despite making such a big mess, this person managed to get away with it without receiving any real punishment.

A few days later, he received a response to the materials he had sent to Beijing. The response clearly stated that whether or not township enterprises should be contracted out should be determined based on local conditions and not a one-size-fits-all approach.

At the same time, actions that hinder the normal development of township enterprises were severely criticized.

After being disciplined, Huang Keli temporarily quieted down.

Fang Wei also temporarily put aside the idea of ​​relocating the company, since companies like bamboo ware factories and chili sauce factories could save a lot of costs because they were close to the raw materials.

“Secretary, I think we should move the food company to the provincial capital as well, and keep the production plant in the county. That way, it will be the same as the bamboo ware factory, and we won’t be constantly being manipulated.”

However, Zhang Chu took the initiative to approach them and suggested that the food company be moved to the provincial capital.

His suggestion was inspired by furniture companies and Yaoling Agriculture: separate the company's registered location from its production location to put yourself in a more proactive position.

Just like Huang Keli's trouble-making this time, he couldn't target Yaoling Agriculture directly, but could only target its subordinate units.

The downside of doing this is that it increases some operating costs, but the benefits are also obvious.

"That's one way. I'll discuss it with everyone later and then make a decision."

Fang Wei nodded, indicating that she would seriously consider it.

After Zhang Chu left, he called Wang Songlin, Tian Bingyi, and others, asking them to consider relocating the food company to the provincial capital.

He also notified several directors of the Yaoling Cooperative and communicated with Cai Tong and others.

night.

When he got home for dinner, Pan Lianhua asked about it.

"Third Brother, didn't you want to move the bamboo ware factory to another place? Why did you change your mind and think about moving the food company to the provincial capital instead?"

"The bamboo ware factory is close to the source of raw materials, so it should remain in place for now unless there are special circumstances. The various factories under the food company will remain in place, only the food company headquarters will be moved to the provincial capital, for the same reason as when the furniture company was established in the provincial capital."

Fang Wei smiled and explained that he had no objections to the county, but simply intended to take this opportunity to further optimize the company's governance structure.

Pan Lianhua understood, and a weight was lifted from her heart.

She had been secretly worried for days after learning that the man intended to relocate the bamboo ware factory. She definitely wouldn't go if the factory moved to another place, but she would still feel regretful.

"Third brother, the off-season for farming is coming soon. I want to stay at the temple for a while and come back after New Year's Day."

After Fang Wei and his wife finished discussing company matters, Sun Daoren suddenly spoke up.

"No problem. Pack your things in the next couple of days, and I'll drive you up the mountain first thing the day after tomorrow."

Fang Wei nodded in agreement without hesitation and set a departure time.

The situation changed the next day; the old Taoist priest couldn't leave for the time being. Fang Wei received a notification from Wu Tianming that Chu Fan would be visiting Master Sun in Xinlin County within the next two days.

Chu Fan is not only a leader at Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but also a renowned doctor.

After hearing about this, Master Sun temporarily abandoned his plan to return to the Sanqing Temple and stayed to wait for Chu Fan's arrival.

Two days later, Chu Fan arrived in Xinlin County with two assistants.

Fang Wei received the guests in the Yao village, because the guests had come not only to see Sun Daoren, but also to have some fun in the area.

There weren't many high-end restaurants in the county; instead, the local delicacies were much more appealing. Wang Songlin arranged for two of the best cooks to prepare the dishes, which were so delicious that Chu Fan and the others couldn't stop praising them.

"Mr. Sun, you look great. You must know a lot about health preservation, right?"

There were six people sitting together: three guests, Fang Wei, Sun Daoren, and Wang Songlin. As they gradually got to know each other, Chu Fan started talking.

"I have some research on it, but birth, aging, illness and death are natural laws, and I am not as good as before in the last two years."

Master Sun smiled and began to share his health preservation experience with everyone.

However, they didn't have a deep conversation at the dinner table. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Songlin took his guests on a tour of the Yao village.

The village, with its century-long history, has undergone renovations, yet it still exudes the weight of time. Coupled with its unique cultural characteristics, unlike anything else in the area, Chu Fan was in high spirits. The only downside was the large number of tourists, making it a bit noisy.

"Principal Chu, there are still activities in the village tonight, including antiphonal singing, waist drum dance, torch dance, and so on. I hope you can stay on the mountain for one night and experience the local customs and culture."

Wang Songlin warmly invited the guests to stay overnight in the village, where they could enjoy song and dance performances and continue to savor local delicacies.

Chu Fan's heart skipped a beat, but since he was a guest, he didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked at Fang Wei.

“Principal Chu, then stay for the night. I have a place to stay in the village, and Songlin will arrange your accommodation.”

Fang Wei noticed that the guests were very interested in the village, so he smiled and said something.

Chu Fan nodded and decided to stay on the mountain for one night.

After visiting the Yao village, Chu Fan and the others followed Fang Wei to his home.

Fang Wei went to brew a pot of tea. When he returned, Chu Fan had already begun discussing medical techniques with Sun Daoren. The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, and Fang Wei simply couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he could only sit quietly and listen.

To be honest, Chu Fan was skeptical of Sun Daoren's medical skills before he came. He didn't believe in the saying "masters are hidden among the people." After so many years since the founding of the country, most capable people had entered the system.

Of course, out of trust in Wu Tianming and Fang Wei, he still decided to make the trip.

But when he met Master Sun, he knew he had come to the right place. The other man's medical skills had been passed down in a complete lineage, with a solid theoretical foundation and rich practical experience; he could definitely be called a renowned doctor of his generation.

Chu Fan held Sun Daoren in high esteem, and only stood up reluctantly when Wang Songlin came to urge everyone to go to the small square.

Dinner was sumptuous; enjoying a meal and drinks while watching a performance was truly one of life's great pleasures.

The next day.

Chu Fan abandoned his plans to travel and followed Sun Daoren to the other party's clinic.

After learning of Chu Fan's identity, the other doctors at the clinic all became very nervous. Someone who could serve as the president of one of the best traditional Chinese medicine universities in the country was definitely their idol.

At the same time, their opinion of Master Sun rose even higher. After all, the fact that someone like Principal Chu held Master Sun in such high esteem also reflected the Master's strength from another perspective.

"Master Sun, Fang Hongbin is your last disciple. I wonder how much of your skills he has learned?"

"I have imparted all my skills to Binbin, and he is very quick to learn. He has already mastered seven or eight tenths of it. Given time, he will surely surpass me."

noon.

Chu Fan and the others ate at Fang Wei's house. After the meal, he chatted with Sun Daoren about Binbin.

When Master Sun spoke of Binbin, his eyes lit up, showing how much he loved his last disciple.

Having figured things out, Chu Fan took his leave after the meal. He was usually very busy with work and rarely had two days off to rest, and he also took the opportunity to witness a true "folk master".

This trip was definitely worthwhile.

"Secretary Fang, thank you for your hospitality! With Elder Sun as a mentor, Binbin will surely be an excellent student in both character and academics. Please pass on a message for me: I would very much welcome him to come to our school for graduate studies."

Before leaving, Chu Fan extended an olive branch to Fang Wei's son.

Fang Wei smiled and expressed his gratitude, saying he would pass on these words to Binbin, and then it would be up to him to make his own choice.

After seeing Chu Fan and his group off, he sent Sun Daoren to the Sanqing Temple a day later.

That year, Xinlin County suffered its worst floods on record, resulting in devastating losses. Consequently, Yaoling agriculture also suffered significant losses, with economic losses exceeding one hundred million yuan.

However, the autumn harvest brought a pleasant surprise: the price of rice seeds remained high, which largely offset some of the losses.

As for the two rice production bases, they have achieved bumper harvests consecutively and have been largely unaffected by the floods. Although the output value of 50 mu of rice cultivation is less than 4 million yuan, its social benefits are immeasurable.

Huang Keli dared to make things difficult for Yaoling Agriculture's subsidiaries, but he wouldn't dare to lay a finger on Yaoling Agriculture itself.

Yaoling Agricultural Group is now an advanced agricultural production unit in the province and even the country, and has many honors. It is not something that just anyone can touch.

Fang Wei's goal is to establish a 100 million mu rice production base, not only to be unique in breeding, but also in rice production.

morning.

After handling several official matters, he drove to the Yao village.

The autumn harvest in Yao Village is a little late this year, mainly because it is the first time that the [Nongyou Boutique 016] rice variety has been cultivated on a large scale, and people are being more conservative in all aspects.

"Third Brother, this season the village has had a bumper harvest, and the biggest gain is that it has verified the high reliability of the [Nongyou Boutique 016] rice variety. We visited the farmers who tried planting this variety, and everyone was very satisfied with it."

Wang Songlin hadn't had a chance to report to Fang Wei in the past two days, so today he went over everything in detail. (End of Chapter)
