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

Fang Wei was very satisfied with the conclusion of his inspection of the forestry company.

The forestry company evolved from the forestry brigade, and everyone there is an expert in forestry, so he doesn't need to worry too much about its future development.

When Fang Wei got home, his older sister had already prepared dinner, and she and Pan Lianhua were waiting for him to come home for dinner.

"Third Brother, why are you so late today?"

Fang Wei returned home about an hour later than usual today, so Pan Lianhua casually asked him about it.

The older sister quickly went to the kitchen and brought out the food.

"I took a walk around the mountains this afternoon to learn about the forestry company's development plan."

Fang Wei smiled and explained, then went to wash her hands, returned to sit down and started eating.

He had been wandering around the mountain all afternoon and was actually quite hungry.

After dinner, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went for a walk outside. When they returned, he went into his study.

Over the years, he has accumulated a great deal of experience and lessons learned in wheat breeding, which he needs to organize and compile into a book. This is his habit; he hopes to leave behind as many useful things as possible in his lifetime.

The next day.

Fang Wei went to the Yao village.

After careful cultivation, the wheat seeds grown in the experimental field are growing well.

Holding the planting records, Wang Songlin said, "No obvious abnormalities occurred during the cultivation process. As before, all the data shows that the wheat cultivated this time should be successful."

"Well, let me see."

Fang Wei reached out and took the planting record, then carefully reviewed it; everything seemed normal.

The wheat seeds cultivated on a small scale will be harvested soon, and verification at that time may reveal the root cause of the problem.

"Third Brother, there's one more thing. The forestry company has contracted a large area of ​​forest, and apart from the forest belonging to the collective, the rest of the village has been closed off. This will affect the supply of various bamboos to the bamboo ware factory. What should we do about this?"

The Yao village has always been a source of bamboo for bamboo ware factories. Bamboo grows rapidly, so the area where bamboo has been cut down has long exceeded the collective forest land.

But now that the forestry company has started closing the mountains, it's no longer appropriate for them to do so.

That's why Wang Songlin asked that question.

"Yes, I've discussed this matter with the person in charge of the forestry company. Going forward, we'll keep the internal accounting separate, separating the revenue belonging to the forestry company from the revenue belonging to the village, and simply strengthen internal settlement."

This isn't a big deal; they're all subsidiaries of Yaoling Group. As long as the internal accounts are cleared up, it's fine.

Wang Songlin nodded. He planned to go back to the forestry company and finalize the matter with them.

After leaving the experimental field, Fang Wei went to visit the main field.

With the summer harvest just around the corner, the Yao village has made all the necessary preparations and there are no problems whatsoever.

A few days passed quickly.

Various production units have successively started summer harvesting and planting, and harvesters can be seen busily working in the fields.

As usual, Fang Wei went to inspect various units, from Hengzhou to Chenzhou, from Yangshan to the townships of Xinlin County, he visited them all.

By the time he calmed down, the summer harvest and planting season was coming to an end.

This year's rainfall has been below average, resulting in slight drought in various regions. However, the farmland irrigation facilities of all production units are very complete, with irrigation canals and wells covering the entire cultivated area, so the slight drought will not have any impact on agricultural production.

Fang Wei has always had a mindset of large-scale agriculture, which involves large inputs and large outputs, mechanized operations, and the actual production cost is much lower than that of production methods based on family units.

This is the power of the collective; he never thought that simply contracting out the work to individual households would solve all the problems.

“Secretary, this season’s harvest will at least be on par with the same period last year.”

At the Yaoling Cooperative, Zhao Jinsheng gave Fang Wei a detailed introduction to the summer harvest and planting situation.

The harvesting work in the cooperative has been completed, but the statistics are not yet available. His judgment should be fairly accurate.

Fang Wei nodded; he thought so too.

"Alright, Lao Zhao, you don't need to come with me. I'm going to take a look around Xinlin Farm."

Fang Wei then left the company and went to the last two units, Xinlin Farm and the Breeding Center. He returned home in the evening.

After dinner, Wang Songlin called to say that the wheat verification process had begun. Several of the village's long-time customers had helped plant wheat; some planted one or two mu, others four or five mu, but the largest group planted no more than ten mu.

After all, it's just to help with the verification. Even if there's no harvest at this small planting area, it doesn't matter. But if the planting area is too large, no one can afford the risk.

"Songlin, you must thank them properly later; we can't always owe them favors. Also, bring me some wheat seeds tomorrow; I need them."

Fang Wei gave a brief explanation and then hung up the phone.

The verification work cannot be carried out within the [planting area], since the wheat seeds will be sold all over the country in the future, so they can only be planted on ordinary land.

Fang Wei brought some seeds and sent them to Sun Shili, who was far away in Beijing, asking him to find someone in the northern region to verify them.

Meanwhile, Sun Shili was still clueless. After starting from scratch, the development of the new generation of wheat was completely stalled, and he was almost in despair. Fang Wei decided to withdraw the project team members sent to the Central Plains base and cancel the designation of the Central Plains base as an experimental field. Even Sun Shili rarely went there anymore, and there was no point in having his own technical personnel stuck there.

Sun Shili soon received the wheat seeds sent by Fang Wei. After having them analyzed at the Crop Research Institute, the data was quite good.

Next, he had people plant the plants at the Hebei base to verify their cultivation, though he didn't really have high hopes.

Fang Wei wasn't as anxious as Sun Shili. He knew very well that it was not uncommon for developing a new crop variety to take ten or eight years.

He dislikes these task-oriented projects more than others. Breeding work has its own rules, and it is unreasonable to set artificial deadlines.

Of course, Sun Shili had his own plans when he accepted the task, but unfortunately, he was unlucky and most likely would not be able to complete it.

the next day.

Fang Wei went to the research institute.

"Has the application plan for the new generation of rapeseed been completed?"

The new generation of rapeseed has been planted on a large scale with excellent results. It was successfully finalized before the Dragon Boat Festival and named "Nanyou 002". The yield can reach 700 jin per mu and the oil content is 49%.

During this period, everyone is compiling information, determining the direction of the paper, and also drafting the application plan.

"It's written! It's written!"

There are still researchers stationed at the Institute of Crop Science. They rotate every two years, and they always manage to get some benefits here.

Hearing Fang Wei's question at this moment was like hearing heavenly music. It seemed that Secretary Fang was preparing to submit the achievement report. Wouldn't they, the dispatched personnel of the Crop Research Institute, then produce results?
"Go and get me the application plan."

After receiving the application, Fang Wei carefully reviewed it and then called Sun Shili from the research institute.

Upon hearing that the other party had developed a new generation of rapeseed with such excellent performance indicators, Sun Shili immediately smiled and said, "Secretary Fang, you're a real lifesaver! Thank you so much!"

While this achievement cannot completely offset the impact of the failure of the new generation of wheat breeding, it can ensure that the impact is minimized.

Therefore, Sun Shili expressed his sincere gratitude to Fang Wei, while also feeling somewhat guilty.

After hanging up the phone, he planned to allocate some equipment to Fang Wei's research institute after a while, and send a few senior talents there for technical exchanges.

Fang Wei has little need for academic achievements, and being associated with the Institute of Crop Science has many hidden benefits, so he doesn't care about these things.

Subsequently, the research institute compiled the materials and application plan and sent them to Sun Shili.

A few days passed quickly.

Fang Wei obtained comprehensive statistics, and this season's output was basically the same as last year, so the harvest was still good.

Lin Bingkun then decided to officially launch various types of seeds, with rice seeds being the main focus. However, since there were no export orders this season, the overall supply would slightly exceed demand.

If summer planting continues at the current scale, there is a possibility of rice seeds piling up after the autumn harvest. Therefore, depending on the actual situation, the production plan will likely be adjusted next year, reducing the supply of rice seeds.

We've made very few adjustments to production over the past two years because we've consistently had export orders.

"Mr. Lin, have you been actively seeking export opportunities?"

The first thing Fang Wei did when she arrived at the office in the morning was to call Lin Bingkun.

“We have been in contact with the provincial foreign trade department and the Guangdong regional foreign trade department. We currently have one foreign trade order that has not yet been confirmed, but we should have news soon.”

Lin Bingkun didn't think there was any problem; he was very confident in his product.

The rice seeds produced by Yaoling Agriculture are not only high-yielding but also of good quality. Unless the other party is a fool, they will always remember them after using them once.

"Okay, you guys get on with this quickly."

Fang Wei didn't say anything more and then ended the call.

He spent the entire morning in his office handling official business and reviewing documents, and received a call from Guo Yongqing around noon.

"Uncle Guo? It's rare for you to call me. What's up, want a drink?"

“I’m free to drink anytime, but I have other things to do. The coal supply is tight lately. My old comrade’s son runs a brick factory in Qinghe County and needs a lot of coal. Could you talk to the boss and ask for help?”

After Guo Yongqing retired, he rarely asked Fang Wei for favors. The couple loved to travel and lived a very comfortable life.

This time, an old comrade-in-arms came to him for help, so he had no choice but to step in and find the person.

"It's nothing! Why didn't you just talk to my older brother?"

Fang Wei didn't think it was a difficult thing. As a coal mine, the price was uniform. It didn't matter who he sold to.
He was just wondering why the other party didn't go directly to Fang Ping, but instead went through a roundabout way.

"The boss is good in every way, but he can be too rigid at times. I think it's better if I tell you."

"Okay, then I'll tell my brother, and you can have someone go directly to the coal mine to find him later."

Fang Wei almost burst out laughing when she heard Guo Yongqing's reasoning.

The other party is quite perceptive; my older brother sometimes lacks flexibility and is too principled, which can easily offend people. In matters like this, a little more flexibility is perfectly acceptable; it's not a big deal. (End of Chapter)
