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

Chapter 565 A Way Out: Be Kind to Your Own People

When they met Master Sun again, the latter had much more to say.

The old Taoist kept asking about Binbin's child, wishing he could go to Guangzhou immediately to see the little guy.

Fang Wei knew this would happen, but luckily he had brought a few photos of Chenchen with him before coming, so he took them out and gave them to Sun Daoren.

The old Taoist priest was absolutely delighted with it. Fang Wei had originally intended to give it to her anyway, and now he just went along with it.

"Good, good, the Fang family has an heir."

As soon as Sun Daoren finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, because Fang Tao already had a son, so his statement was indeed inappropriate.

To cover his embarrassment, he began to take Wang Songlin's pulse.

Fang Wei noticed that the old Taoist's expression gradually became serious, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Master, is there something wrong? Please speak frankly, I can bear it."

Wang Songlin was probably intimidated by Sun Daoren's solemn expression, and his voice trembled slightly when he asked the question.

"Don't be afraid, things aren't what you think. I'm just a little unsure about the condition, let me think about it some more."

Master Sun waved his hand repeatedly, telling Wang Songlin not to overthink it.

Wang Songlin was relieved; he had almost thought he had some incurable disease.

Fang Wei did not urge Sun Daoren. After considering it carefully, the other party began to write the prescription.

After writing the prescription, Master Sun handed it to Fang Wei. Fang Wei glanced at it and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

“Songlin, your two serious illnesses have damaged your vital energy. Don’t overwork yourself in the future. You must make up for the deficiencies in your body.”

Just as Fang Wei was wondering why the prescription looked familiar, Master Sun spoke again and explained Wang Songlin's condition.

Fang Weicai suddenly realized why the prescription looked familiar: it contained many precious Chinese medicinal herbs, just like the one the old Taoist priest had given to Agong.

No wonder Master Sun was so hesitant before prescribing medicine; following his prescription would have been quite costly.

"Thank you, Master! I will take good care of myself and try to worry as little as possible."

Wang Songlin repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Master Sun, then left behind the local specialties he had brought from home before taking his leave.

Fang Wei told the other party to wait by the car while he chatted with Sun Daoren alone for a few minutes.

"Master, is the pine forest in such bad condition?"

"Yes, his body is severely depleted and needs to be recuperated slowly. The prescription will definitely work, but we'll see if he can afford the cost."

"I understand! Daoist Master, please stay here. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

Fang Wei understood the situation and then returned to the Yao village with Wang Songlin.

In front of Wang Songlin and his wife, Fang Wei mentioned that getting the medicine according to the prescription was quite expensive. A course of treatment would cost at least several thousand yuan, and a year's worth of medicine alone would cost tens of thousands of yuan.

"Cure him! As long as it works, we'll sell everything we own to cure his illness."

Wang Songlin looked troubled, but his wife Fang Tiao was very determined to cure his illness at all costs.

"As long as you have this attitude, I, as the head of the village, will take some money from the income of the official land to help you."

Fang Wei didn't take on too much responsibility; from any perspective, he wasn't suited to do so.

But as the head of the Yao village, he owns official land, which brings in at least tens of thousands of yuan a year. The expenses for visiting and comforting the elderly in the village during festivals are all covered by this land.

As Wang Songlin was the second most important person in the village after himself, he could also provide some financial assistance to Wang Songlin when he encountered difficulties in getting medical treatment and medicine.

"Thank you, Third Brother! It's a pity my health is failing, otherwise I could do more things."

Wang Songlin was very moved. He certainly wouldn't have accepted the money if Fang Wei had paid it personally, but since it came from the income of the headman's official land, he had no reason to refuse.

Fang Wei nodded and didn't say anything more. He told the other person to rest well and then took the initiative to get the medicine.

The herbs on the prescription definitely can't be obtained in the county; we'll have to go to a big city to get them.

The next day.

Fang Wei called the head of the forestry company and asked them to send someone to the mountains to collect some rare medicinal herbs. Then he contacted Hu Linwei and asked him to buy some precious medicinal herbs from Guangzhou and bring them over.

Not to mention the rare wild herbs in the mountains, the precious medicinal materials I bought in Guangzhou were really expensive.

Hu Linwei bought the medicinal herbs and had them delivered to Fang Wei by a logistics company. Fang Wei then transferred the money directly to the logistics company.

After preparing a course of medicine, he calculated that it had cost him approximately 4800 yuan. No wonder Master Sun was so troubled that day; the cost of just one course of medicine was equivalent to a person's annual dividend.

Based on two courses of treatment per year, the cost of the medication would be approximately 10,000 yuan.

This was naturally a huge burden for Wang Songlin's family, basically depleting the couple's dividend income.

Fang Wei subsidized Wang Songlin with 7000 yuan from his farmland income, and also distributed the previous breeding success reward to Wang Songlin, which amounted to more than 6000 yuan. Wang Songlin's difficulties were temporarily resolved, and all units officially began their summer harvest and planting work.

This is a top priority for Yaoling Agriculture and even the entire group company. Fang Wei, Cai Tong, Lin Bingkun, and others are all inspecting the front-line production units to ensure the smooth progress of the "double harvest" work.

Fang Wei did not go to the Jianghuai base; he had just been there not long ago, so there was no need to make a point of going.

He began his inspection tour of the Hengzhou production base as usual, and finally returned to the cooperative. The Yaoling Cooperative, Xinlin Farm, and the breeding center are the main production areas for rice seeds and the foundation of Yaoling agriculture.

Zhao Jinsheng has been all smiles these days. This season has been another bumper harvest. Watching the plump rice grains being successively stored in the granary, he feels a sense of satisfaction that city dwellers can hardly understand.

"Old Zhao, has everything been arranged for summer planting?"

The summer harvest and planting season is called "double rush" because it means rushing to harvest and plant. It's about seizing the time, otherwise, it might delay the planting season.

So when Fang Wei met Zhao Jinsheng, the first thing she asked him was about this matter.

"Everything is arranged. The summer harvest and summer planting will be carried out simultaneously. As soon as the harvest is finished, the fields will be plowed. There will be no delay at all."

Zhao Jinsheng was full of confidence. Although he was not formally trained in agriculture, he was definitely an expert in the field.

Whether it's breeding or planting, nothing goes wrong under his leadership; he can spot problems big and small at a glance.

"That's fine! You go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around by myself."

Fang Wei nodded. He trusted Zhao Jinsheng a lot. If the other party said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

He then toured all the teams, concluding his inspection tour for the season.

He was confident that the profits for this season were guaranteed, and he wasn't worried about the sales work that followed, as Lin Bingkun and others had already made arrangements.

After some time, news came from the Jianghuai base that the breeding work of [Nanfengmai 327] was going very smoothly, and this season's peanut harvest was bountiful, with peanuts being transported to the oil mill in a steady stream.

Although transportation costs have increased, the profit margin on cooking oil is sufficient to cover these costs.

Today, oil mills mainly produce rapeseed oil, tea oil, and peanut oil. Rapeseed oil and tea oil have stable sources of raw materials, but so far, the mill has not established a peanut planting base and mainly purchases raw materials from outside.

Many farmers in the county also grow peanuts, and the seeds they use are also cultivated by the company, so the quality is quite good.

However, it is inferior to peanuts produced in the Jianghuai base, which is superior in both quality and oil yield.

Unfortunately, the Jianghuai base only planted peanuts for one season during the transition period. In the fall, winter wheat will be planted throughout the season, and peanuts will no longer be planted.

"Secretary, the company should establish its own peanut planting base. Peanut oil is selling very well these days, and no purchased raw material can compare to the quality of one we grow ourselves."

morning.

Fang Wei was handling official business in his office when Zhang Chu suddenly showed up at the door.

Zhang Chu is also the type of person who can't sit still. If you make him sit in the office all day, he'll feel uncomfortable all over.

"You make it sound so easy. The company doesn't have that much energy right now. Let's talk about this later."

Fang Wei knew that Zhang Chu had an impatient personality, so she directly suppressed his idea.

He hasn't considered the peanut planting base for the time being. In the past two years, the development of agriculture in Yaoling has been too fast, so it's right to slow down a bit.

"Secretary, we can take it slow, but the question is, how long do we want to slow it down?"

Zhang Chu was still not giving up and asked another question.

Fang Wei ignored him and busied herself with her own things, not wanting to waste time chatting with him.

After finishing the documents at hand, I looked up and saw Zhang Chu still sitting there drinking tea.

"Are you still not done? Let's talk about this in the second half of next year. Come on, let's go take a look at the oil mill."

Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh, and then pulled Zhang Chu to the industrial park.

Upon arriving at the oil pressing plant, he saw transport vehicles coming and going, a bustling scene indeed.

"Secretary, the cooking oil from the factory is in high demand right now, especially in the five provinces of Central and Southern China. We are the sales champion here."

Zhang Chu noticed Fang Wei's gaze and said smugly.

The company has been deeply involved in the deep processing of agricultural products for many years. Its edible oils and chili sauces, made with carefully selected ingredients, are of superior quality and offer excellent value for money, making them very popular with consumers.

This aligns with Fang Wei's business philosophy, who has always believed that a company should focus on making solid products and ensuring quality in order to achieve long-term success.

As it turns out, after years of development, products such as Yaoling Rice, Yaoling Chili Sauce, and Yaoling Cooking Oil have already occupied a very important position in the market.

The company's advertising and promotion expenses have not been high over the years, but sales have remained very good.

Fang Wei took a stroll around the industrial park and finally arrived at the bamboo ware factory. He then took Pan Lianhua with him to the county for lunch.

When their older sister isn't home, the couple is often too lazy to cook, especially Fang Wei, who often eats lunch at the cafeteria. When they want to treat themselves, they'll go to the Linhe Restaurant.
