Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 229 You Can Give Less Money, But You Can’t Give None

“The scenery here is very ordinary!”

The people at the wedding company didn't quite understand why Xu Yue and his partner wanted to take photos in the bamboo house.

This bamboo house is simple and cannot be compared with the bamboo house at the B&B.

But they didn't know that this bamboo house was of great significance to Xu Yue and the others.

It was here that the two confirmed their relationship and decided to spend their lives together.

This place holds many of their memories.

Of course, the scenery is average compared to other places in the village.

"The angle is well chosen, actually it's quite good." Xu Yue said with a smile, "The key is that we have three companions."

"partner?"

When the people from the wedding company were confused, they heard Zhang Ruoxi shouting next to them.

"Dabao!"

This name was chosen by Zhang Ruoxi.

Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao.

Xu Yue once complained about this name.

Not as good as Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua.

There is no way it can be compared with rhubarb.

However, when Zhang Ruoxi asked him to choose a name, he was at a loss again.

He is absolutely terrible at naming.

"Panda! Giant panda!"

As soon as Zhang Ruoxi finished speaking, three giant pandas came out of the room.

Everyone in the wedding company was shocked.

The villagers who were watching the fun nearby had long been accustomed to it.

There are pandas in their village, how could they not know about it.

Watch it twice, it's just like that.

These people were like tourists visiting the village for the first time, making a fuss out of nothing.

Just three giant pandas.

There are not many people in Gongan City who don’t know about these three big bears.

Many tourists who come to the village come here to see the giant pandas.

It’s just that because of the appearance of the “evil dog”, fewer people come.

Dahuang is now the "treasure protector".

Of course, Da Huang just tried to scare the tourists and didn't bite them.

"Not bad!"

Xu Yue touched the giant panda.

The three giant pandas are very clean.

Uncle San gave them baths more frequently than Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi did in the past.

Xu Yue didn’t know if there were other people who used pandas as props for wedding photos.

However, he knew that their wedding photos turned out very well.

The wedding photos took many days to take.

Not only did we shoot in the village, we also went into the mountains to shoot.

We went to Qinglongtan, Alsophila Valley, Yunwu Mountain, and that valley.

As for the cave, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi had no plans to go in and take pictures.

It’s not that the scenery inside is bad, but there are temples and tombs inside, which is obviously inappropriate.

The people from the wedding company left.

Li Liang came.

"Again?"

After hearing what Li Liang said, Xu Yue looked at him in surprise, shocked beyond belief.

"Brother, you guys aren't taking me for a fool, are you?" Xu Yue said, "Do you know how much I've eaten with these hundred or so of you?"

"Isn't this to hear your opinion?" Li Liang said, "The director can't refuse the opinion from headquarters! Either we all need to be replaced, or we need more people."

Change?
Xu Yue obviously didn't want that.

After all, Li Liang and his more than 100 people are already familiar with each other, and they also have a personal relationship of power.

Replacing someone may not be so convenient, nor may they be able to perform their duties conscientiously.

"In the words of headquarters, the benefits can't be taken entirely by our Shuzhou branch," Li Liang said. "If we eat the meat, the other branches must at least have some soup."

"Even if you change it, you won't change everything, right?"

Xu Yue calmed down and then looked at Li Liang.

Replace everything?

The Shuzhou branch didn’t even have any soup to drink, let alone meat.

How is that possible?

"Mostly," Li Liang said. "The director doesn't want to see it, and he's about to get promoted. That's why I came up with the idea of ​​simply increasing the number of people."

"He's really generous to others." Xu Yue curled his lips and said, "I can't control how many of you come. However, I will provide more than a hundred people. For the rest, you can pay for it. At most, I will give you a discount!"

As for Jing Guohua's promotion, Xu Yue couldn't help.

If Jing Guohua provides more than a hundred people, can he get a promotion?

That promotion would be too easy.

"I can't make the decision on this matter," Li Liang said. "I can only report it to the higher-ups, but our department doesn't have that much budget."

Buy it with money?
You don't even think about how expensive your stuff is.

Every department has a limited budget.

"Don't give me that!" Xu Yue said, "You can make a fortune just by selling some of my ginseng. How can you possibly be short of money to feed a hundred people?"

"I don't know that."

Li Liang said this, then said goodbye and left.

The ginseng was bought for its usefulness, and it was definitely not sold as a middleman.

"Why don't you agree?" Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and said, "It's not like we can't afford to support an extra one or two hundred people."

"Do we need more than a hundred people to guard over an acre of ginseng?" Xu Yue said, "The first time, the price increased tenfold. If I agree right away this time, do you believe Jing Guohua can recruit a division for me? We can't let them get used to freeloading."

Supporting an extra one or two hundred people is really nothing.

After all, the size of the farm is constantly expanding.

The investment cost is actually not high.

Xu Yue was actually already considering whether to provide meals for his employees.

Nowadays, it is not so convenient for villagers to eat.

As for the extra expenses from having meals included, Xu Yue didn't care.

We've already provided meals for all our employees, but we're still short of over a hundred of them?
It's just not confirmed yet.

After all, the farm employees are provided with meals, but what about the agricultural trade company’s employees?

Tian Yizi and Huang Liang are still discussing this matter.

If the plan is fine, Xu Yue is ready to do it.

"Their coming here is actually beneficial to us," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Do you feel that the investment is not proportional to the benefits? Or are you afraid of being too closely tied to the special department?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Yue did not answer, but asked in return.

There's actually nothing much to say about this.

If those more than one hundred people obeyed his orders, there would be no problem.

Food and accommodation are provided, and you can even get a high salary.

The key is not to listen!

As for being too deeply tied to special departments?
Xu Yue naturally didn't mind.

It's nice to have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade.

"Ok!"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded, obviously agreeing with Xu Yue's statement.

"Actually, I think Jing Guohua's additional personnel may not be because people from other branches want to get in on the action," Xu Yue said. "I suspect it has something to do with the village's Academy of Agricultural Sciences, or perhaps something to do with the unearthed items at Huaying Mountain."

"Are they using a breathing technique, or a cultivation method?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "So, the cultivation method of the farmers is the breathing technique?"

"It depends on how you say it," Xu Yue said. "Martial artists, in addition to movements, actually also use breathing techniques, but they place more emphasis on movements. Spiritual cultivation, on the other hand, is mostly about quiet meditation, and obviously places more emphasis on breathing techniques. However, the cultivation methods of farmers take both into account."

If you don't do any physical work and just practice breathing techniques, the effect will be minimal or even useless. Why is this possible in the lab now?

They are actually also doing agricultural work.

They are improving the quality of what they grow and raise.

Isn't this just labor?

"Over a hundred people came here for this, and Director Jing actually wants to use your power to train experts?" Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "That's a pretty good plan. But what if you don't pay? You won't provide anything to those people?"

"talk later!"

Xu Yue shook his head and said.

I will definitely give you money.

It’s hard to say how much to give.

Anyway, I have to charge a symbolic fee.

Zhang Ruoxi glanced at Xu Yue and immediately smiled.

She obviously saw what Xu Yue was thinking.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to be taken advantage of for free anymore.

You can charge less money, but you cannot charge no money.

Two days after Li Liang left, Jing Guohua came to the village.

"Take a look!" Jing Guohua said, "These are translated."

Xu Yue did not hesitate and started reading.

Those bamboo slips did contain some agricultural works, but they were obviously incomplete.

In addition to agricultural works, there are also some miscellaneous records.

Of course, the miscellaneous things recorded are undoubtedly of inestimable value to archaeologists.

More valuable than any agricultural work.

They can infer a lot from that.

The bamboo slips also record some of the tomb owner's life, speeches and opinions.

Among those remarks, there were even attacks on the Tianshi School and the Geography School.

"that's it?"

Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua with a smile, as if saying: You are not going to use the leftovers to discuss the "food" issue with me, are you?

"There are still some that haven't been translated yet," Jing Guohua said. "Professor Wang will certainly do what he promised you. He knew I was coming to see you, so he asked me to bring the translation along."

Xu Yue nodded.

He believed what Jing Guohua said.

"What does the leader want?"

This question seemed like a deliberate one, but it also brought up the topic.

"My business is not urgent, why don't you take a look at this first?"

Jing Guohua then handed over another jade slip.

"This is the translation."

Xu Yue took it and looked at it, but his brows frowned.

do not know.

At this time, Jing Guohua handed Xu Yue another piece of paper.

"It really exists! This breathing method is interesting."

Xu Yue looked at the words on the paper and then said something with a smile.

"The cultivation method of the farming family?" Jing Guohua asked, "Did you guess that there was such a thing in the tomb? Then you still..."

So what?
Jing Guohua was obviously puzzled as to why Xu Yue did not dig up the tomb privately.

It’s simply because they don’t recognize the pre-Qin characters.

There are quite a few characters that I know, and there are many ways to translate them without knowing it.

"Can you comprehend this cultivation method based solely on this translation?" Xu Yue asked, "The leader shouldn't have come here just to show me this, right?"

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue and felt that he was very indifferent, as if he didn't care much about the breathing method.

"Can this cultivation method be passed on?" Jing Guohua asked, "Pass it on to Academician Meng and the other agricultural experts. We don't ask for anything to come out of it, even if it just improves their health, it would be a blessing for the country."

"Of course! This is something our country possesses." Xu Yue said, "But if you teach it to others, I'm afraid they won't be able to learn it."

"Ok?"

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue in confusion.

"Farmer's Breathing Technique requires the integration of agricultural work," Xu Yue said. "The key is to combine movement and breathing."

Jing Guohua was a little surprised.

Could it be that cultivation is ineffective? Is this the problem?
Some people in that translation understood the method of cultivation, but it was of no use at all when they put it into practice.

It has nothing to do with the length of time.

This is a method of practicing Qi. If you can't even lead the Qi into your body, how can you practice it?
"Then take a look at this!"

Jing Guohua then took out another piece of paper and handed it to Xu Yue.

What is written on the paper is the rhythm of the breathing method.

"It's pretty much the same, isn't it?" Xu Yue took a look and said, "The leader wants me to help correct it?"

Jing Guohua smiled awkwardly.

If it's almost the same, then there's something wrong.

wrong?

Not to mention going astray and being bad for your health, but I'm afraid the effect will be greatly reduced.

But asking Xu Yue for help in this matter would be a bit bullying.

You are using someone else's things to ask them to correct their mistakes. Isn't this bullying?
"Can it be changed?"

However, Jing Guohua nodded.

That's not what he meant.

"If it's inconvenient, then just ignore what I said. The higher-ups are very respectful of the sect's inheritance and so on."

Jing Guohua finally added another sentence.

If Xu Yue refuses, that’s fine.

This is indeed a bit unreasonable.

If it were not beneficial to the country, he would not come.

"It's not inconvenient at all." Xu Yue said, "This breathing method is not the fundamental method of my farming family."

Except for the "Yandi Hunyuan Fundamental Sutra", the other books of the farming family are not considered to be secrets.

The breathing method Jing Guohua used was inferior to the one he taught Zhang Ruoxi and the others.

Although it is a breathing method from the pre-Qin period, it may not be better than the one Dongguo Cheng figured out.

After all, he was the Minister of Agriculture during the Han Dynasty.

That is equivalent to being the leader of the farming family.

The identity of Hua Yingshan's farmer disciple is actually just ordinary, with a low status, and he can't even be considered a true disciple.

Xu Yue picked up the pen and made a few revisions on the paper, then handed it to Jing Guohua.

"If they have any questions, they can come to me." Xu Yue said, "I am always happy to help. Practicing in places like Taoyuan Village, Yaowan Village, and the Chilongtan Reservoir in Jincheng might be more effective."

Helpful?

Jing Guohua felt that these four words were mocking him.

As for why places like Taoyuan Village are more effective for cultivation, Jing Guohua obviously understands it.

"Can you cultivate Qi?" Jing Guohua asked, "It is said that the loss of ancient Qi training methods was related to the changes in heaven and earth. Could it be that the heaven and earth have changed again now?"

Jing Guohua now obviously knew that Xu Yue was not a martial artist, but was practicing the ancient farming method of Qi training.

As a senior executive in a special department, Jing Guohua naturally knew about the decline and loss of Qigong practices and the rise of martial arts and spiritual cultivation.

"That depends on the talent of the cultivator. As for whether the world will change, I don't know." Xu Yue shook his head and said, "But the farming method is beneficial to the world. The earth nourishes all things, and Shennong will never die!"

The cultivation method of farmers does not rely on any "spiritual energy".

So why has it been lost?
Perhaps, this is why it was lost.

Other Qi cultivators have been affected by the changes in heaven and earth, but your farmer family is not affected. How can that be possible?
No one wants to see a farming family rise, or even a single dominant force.

Then it seems nothing surprising that they were attacked by a group of people.

This may also be the reason why all the agricultural works have been lost.

After all, the methods of cultivation of farmers may have been learned from those farming works.

Of course, these are just Xu Yue's own guesses and there is no empirical evidence.
