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

"Third Brother, when are we moving into our new house?"

Pan Lianhua kept a close eye on things, and the entire set of furniture was completed in just a few days.

She benefited from the factory's generosity, but she was still very careful about the amount of money she was owed.

After the furniture was moved into the new house, she discussed the moving date with the man.

"No rush, let's air out the house first, and then we'll talk about it after the National Day holiday."

Although the house is furnished with solid wood furniture and there is no complicated decoration, Fang Wei still felt it would be better to let the smell dissipate for a while.

The couple is currently living in a dormitory in the Yao village, which is very convenient. They can hold on a little longer.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Pan Lianhua nodded helplessly. Although she wanted to move into the new home as soon as possible, she wouldn't go against what the man had said.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went to the new house for a look around.

This time, the community carried out a unified renovation for the new houses, but the style was relatively simple, without any fancy or flashy elements.

The two thought it was pretty good. They didn't like excessive renovations, otherwise they could have done a second renovation like some people do.

"We'll go to Guangzhou for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can buy more things to bring back."

Although there are supermarkets in the county, they certainly can't offer a complete range of products.

Pan Lianhua wanted to buy some good bedding and household items, which she couldn't find in the county, but she could buy them in Guangzhou. Since she and Fang Wei planned to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Guangzhou, they could buy them while they were there.

"Okay, I'll leave the shopping to you. I don't know how to choose."

Fang Wei laughed and handed over the task of tidying up the new house to Pan Lianhua.

Pan Lianhua didn't refuse; these things were supposed to be done by the lady of the house, and she also liked shopping.

"Alright, I'm going to the factory. Where are you going?"

The two then left their home, with Pan Lianhua preparing to go directly to the bamboo ware factory.

Fang Wei said she wanted to think about it in her mind, and then she drove off.

"Upgrade the main house first; this is something we can't be careless about."

He and his family are about to move into a new house, which was originally the main residence, but its level dropped to level 1 after the demolition.

Fang Weiyi wanted to prioritize the main residence, so he took this opportunity to spend 66.67 billion points to upgrade it to level 19.

The current [Planting Area] and [Forestry and Harvesting Area] are both level 19, while the [Main Residence] was level 18 before the demolition. He felt that the most important facility in his heart could not lag behind in level.

[Affiliated Facilities] → [Living Facilities] → [Main Residence]

[Facility Level: (Level 19, 0/100 billion points)]

[Facility Attributes: Sturdy, Durable, Focused, Calm, Beneficial to Owner]

Living in this building grants an additional 190% to all attributes, +1 to Luck, +1 to Anti-aging, +1 to Warning, and +2 to Health.

Total points: 261.99 billion.

This upgrade yielded a great reward, increasing the health attribute value by [Health +2].

Fang Wei was still very happy. Health is very important. Just look at Wang Songlin. People suffer a lot after getting sick.

He, Pan Lianhua, his sister, and their two children have rarely been sick over the years, and the doctor always says he is in excellent health during their check-ups.

The effects of the various attributes of the main residence are difficult to see intuitively, but through comparison, you can't help but believe it; it's quite mysterious.

"In short, there are only benefits and no drawbacks. Isn't that what you're supposed to do with the points you earn?"

Fang Wei has never had enough points over the years, but now that he's finally a little better off, he's not going to be a miser.

After considering it for a while, he decided to upgrade the [Breeding Research Institute].

[Affiliation Facility] → [Production Facility] → [Breeding Research Institute]

[Facility Level: (Level 19, 0/100 billion points)]

[Facility attributes: Improve research efficiency, enhance research quality, improve equipment operational efficiency, improve learning efficiency, and increase the success rate of project research.]

Conducting research within this building grants an additional 190% to all attributes, +2 to Flash of Brilliance, and +2 to Ingenuity.

Total points: 196.99 billion.

Upgrading the [Breeding Research Institute] yielded two great gift packs: [A Flash of Brilliance +1] and [A Lucky Break +1].

That's pretty good. Although these two attributes had appeared before, the increase in attribute values ​​will bring huge benefits. Specifically, future breeding research will be smoother, and more scientific research results will emerge.

There are too many facilities inside the group now, such as water wells, and he no longer has the means to upgrade them.

These facilities only need to be designated to have a level 1 attribute; he couldn't earn that many points even if he were beaten to death. Arriving at his office, Fang Wei sat down and began handling official business.

Later, Cai Tong called to say that their negotiations with Liang Wenhui had failed, as neither of them wanted to hand over the oil mill to someone else.

"We've discussed it and decided that the oil mill should upgrade its technology again. On the one hand, the current capacity is insufficient, and on the other hand, the production process is somewhat outdated."

Cai Tong, representing Hu Linwei and others, asked Fang Wei whether to invest 2 million yuan to upgrade the oil mill's technology and build a new production line.

Fang Wei considered it for a moment and felt that this was inevitable.

Since he was unwilling to sell the oil mill, he would have to be willing to invest in the fierce competition to come. Currently, the area of ​​land used for planting cash crops in the county is increasing, and Lin Bingkun also plans to lease land to increase the quantity of peanuts planted.

From this perspective, the oil pressing plant should indeed not be abandoned.

"You guys put forward a plan, I'll take a look, and if there are no problems, I'll sign it off."

After Fang Wei expressed his opinion, Cai Tong ended the call.

Of course, such a large investment project still needs to be approved by the board of directors, but that's just a matter of procedure. Once Fang Wei agrees, the matter will basically remain unchanged.

Yaoling Group's business is basically what it is now, and it will not invest in new industries in the short term.

In order, the company's core businesses are agriculture, deep processing of agricultural products, electrical appliance group, Xiangyang Locks, real estate development company, and property management company.

As for coal mines, they're not even in the running. Once the industry's golden age is over, coal mines will most likely cease to exist.

morning.

Fang Wei drove into the mountains and visited the herbal medicine cultivation base.

The second transplantation of rare herbs was clearly a success. These few rare herbs alone have already filled the gaps in the three major cultivation bases, and this year's yield is expected to be astonishing.

The estimated revenue from this item alone will not be less than 3 million yuan, which shows how large the profit margin is.

Later, he went to check on the experimental forest. After the large-scale transplanting, the herbs in the forest were originally very sparse, but after this period of natural reproduction, many seedlings have sprouted again.

Fang Wei plans to stop the breeding work in the experimental forest next year. The quantity of these rare herbs is already sufficient, since each harvest leaves a considerable amount behind, which does not affect natural reproduction.

The experimental forest will then cultivate improved varieties of wild chestnuts and wild camellia trees. In particular, the economic value of wild camellia trees is not low, and the wild camellia seeds produced can be used as a material for high-quality edible oil.

Previously, the cooperative's forest land was limited, and only in the vast mountains could more wild chestnuts and wild camellia seeds be produced.

This matter will have to wait until at least next year, Fang Wei quickly put aside these random thoughts.

Afterwards, he went alone to the pine forest where the swan mushrooms grew, picked a basket of swan mushrooms, and then drove back.

At the entrance to the mountains, the forestry company set up a checkpoint. This serves two purposes: firstly, to prohibit unauthorized personnel and vehicles from passing through, and secondly, to deter illegal logging and mining.

There are many checkpoints like this in the mountains, including the back of the Yao village, the back of the Sanqing Temple, the entrances and exits of valleys, and the edges of primeval forests.

"Secretary Fang, you're back?"

"Yes, we went for a walk in the mountains and picked some swan mushrooms. Please register them."

Fang Weike was able to freely enter and leave the mountains with prior approval from the forestry company. However, everything in the mountains belonged to or was managed by the company, so even he needed to register voluntarily.

Of course, the people at the checkpoint wouldn't dare to check his car. He should be self-aware in this kind of thing and wouldn't tarnish his reputation over such a trivial matter.

“Secretary Fang, you’re being too serious. Alright, then let’s register it.”

The checkpoint staff registered the species and approximate weight, then raised the barrier to let them pass.

Things brought out of the mountains need to be paid to the company at a fixed price, and Fang Wei is no exception.

night.

When Pan Lianhua returned to the village after get off work, dinner had already been prepared at home.

Dinner was naturally not cooked by Fang Wei; anything he made would probably be hard to swallow. It was Wang Sanqi's wife who cooked, and the couple ate there that evening.

“Secretary, swan mushrooms are rare these days. The forestry company is keeping a close eye on them. If they spot a stranger, they’ll immediately drive them out of the mountains. If a conflict breaks out, they’ll take them to the forest police station.”

Wang Sanqi harbored some resentment towards the forestry company, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The villagers used to hunt and gather in the mountains around here, but ever since the forestry company took over this large area of ​​forest, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter.

Their patrol team members are well-equipped, with walkie-talkies and patrol vehicles, and they can get help quickly if they encounter any problems.

Of course, Zhaozhai Village couldn't afford to have a conflict with them. Legally speaking, no one is allowed to enter the forestry company's contracted forests without permission.

"If you want to eat swan mushrooms, you can tell me. Anyway, the forestry company will send people to pick them, and in the end, they'll all be sold. Don't even mention you; I still have to pay to pick these swan mushrooms, don't I?"

Fang Wei laughed and advised Wang Sanqi not to overthink it.

Rules and regulations are not just for show; he himself must take the lead in abiding by them.

Upon hearing that Fang Wei had to pay the forestry company for picking a basket of swan mushrooms, Wang Sanqi's resentment vanished instantly. Since they were treating everyone equally according to the rules, what else could he say?
Pan Lianhua found it amusing. Wasn't the reason her man was so serious just to make these people talk back?

After the meal, Pan Lianhua didn't let Wang Sanqi's wife help clean up, and then said goodbye to Wang Sanqi and left. (End of this chapter)
