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

Chapter 255: Know the lost secret of the farmers?

Many people know that walnuts are good for the brain.

As for bell peppers, soybeans, spinach, pumpkin, etc., Xu Yue was a little skeptical.

Maybe, but the effect is not that obvious.

Of course, it may also be related to "shape supplement".

After all, walnuts are like brains.

"Why, you want to make up for it too?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and couldn't help but smile.

After all, he graduated from a prestigious university and was the top scorer in the college entrance examination!

Why do I feel like I need to supplement my brain now?
Sometimes, cultivation has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not.

"Give it to them both!"

Xu Yue pointed at the two dogs, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua.

Compared with other dogs, these two dogs are extremely smart.

But compared with rhubarb, it is still a little bit worse.

"We have quite a few walnut trees at home," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Even if they eat walnuts every day, they probably won't be able to finish them all. The key is, do dogs eat walnuts?"

Xu Yue smiled silently, glanced at the two dogs, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Those two guys only eat meat besides rice.

I used to eat vegetables, but now I’m a bit picky.

A few days passed, and Wang Zemin and Jing Guohua came for another look.

Xu Yue knew that the leader from above was coming.

"There are quite a few tourists at the fishing grounds and folk customs area." Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua and asked, "Do you want to suspend it for two days?"

"Need not!"

Jing Guohua shook his head.

The leader came down just to take a look. It would be strange if he had no objection if you closed all your businesses.

"Is safety okay?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but ask, if something unexpected really happened, it would be really troublesome.

"This is domestic." Jing Guohua said, "It's useless for the three of you to take action."

"Could you please stop using my family as an example?" Xu Yue curled his lips and said, "You make it sound like I'm going to be vulnerable. By the way, do we need to notify the village committee?"

"That's none of my business." Jing Guohua shook his head and said, "I'll probably notify them, but I won't mobilize a large force."

Whose business is it?

Didn’t Wang Zemin also come for a look around?

Accompanying them were leaders from the district and town.

Jing Guohua chatted for a few minutes and then went to the camp.

"Do you want to do some spring cleaning?"

Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask, who knows if the leader will come to their house as a guest.

"Just clean it up."

Xu Yue thought about it and then said.

At the villa, Xu Yue set up a formation to clear the turbidity.

I wouldn’t say it’s spotless, but in terms of hygiene, even if it’s not cleaned every day, it’s still very clean.

A few days later, the leader came in a low-key manner.

The car went directly to the company.

Xu Yue and Tian Yizi were already there early.

Xu Jiangming and his wife did not come.

However, Zhang Ruoxi stood next to Xu Yue.

It was said to be a higher-level leader, but Xu Yue didn't know which leader it was.

But after the person came, Xu Yue was a little shocked.

Ok?
Xu Yue suddenly looked at the person next to the leader.

He looks to be in his forties, unremarkable, and his energy and blood are just like those of an ordinary person.

But precisely because of this, Xu Yue was even more surprised.

He couldn't see through the man.

Four realms?
Not necessarily impossible.

Jing Guohua was also behind him.

The man seemed to feel Xu Yue's gaze, but ignored it.

Naturally, the city leader Wang Zemin also accompanied them.

The state leaders also came, with Wang Zemin following behind them.

However, he soon introduced Xu Yue and the other two to the leader and others.

The leader smiled and shook hands with them one by one.

The group did not stay long, but went to the fields.

"How much land do you rent on your farm now, and how many people do you employ?"

On the way, the leader chatted casually with Xu Yue.

The first question left Xu Yue confused.

How much land does the farm rent? How many people does it employ?

He really doesn't know.

"The boss is in charge of technical issues and has been immersed in technical research." Tian Yizi said, "I am the one who manages the farm. The farm currently rents land from Taoyuan Village, Yaowan Village, Heyan Village, Qinghe Village, and Niwa Village. We have over 5,000 acres of land, 5,000 acres of farmland, and we have hired people."

Tian Yizi began to talk about the situation on the farm.

Not only the land rent, but also the rent was mentioned in passing.

The situation of hiring people, as well as the salary and benefits, were all described.

Hearing this, the leader nodded repeatedly.

Whether it is rent or salary, they are much higher than the market price.

In Tian Yizi's words, it is to give back to the folks.

In particular, it is highly praised that at least one person from each household works on the farm.

However, that statement was obviously somewhat inaccurate.

For example, there are still three families in Taoyuan Village who have not rented out their land.

The leader won't know about this.

The people from the village committee must have made arrangements in advance.

Xu Yue naturally didn't think that they would come to cause trouble.

It was really chaotic and they couldn't stay in Taoyuan Village anymore.

The key is that they are not right.

What's more, Xu Yue had already given in before.

Let’s talk about it after the rice is harvested.

Although I didn't agree, it was almost there.

As for other villages, every household rents land.

What about work?
In fact, there are also some who do not work on farms.

However, those are people whose families have moved away and have not returned for a long time.

Except for the household registration, the land is barren.

There's no way those people would come to work on the farm.

Afterwards, the leader asked about the farm's revenue, etc., and even joked with Xu Yue with a smile.

"You don't know either?"

Xu Yue nodded awkwardly, he really didn't know.

Farm revenue is naturally staggering.

After all, the expenses are not high, but the prices of vegetables and fruits are at least ten times the market price.

"What about the cost?" The chief looked at Xu Yue and said, "There should be some technical cost, right?"

"There are some, but not many." Xu Yue said, "Some terrain formations require the use of jade talismans."

Jade Talisman?

The chief obviously knew about it.

The jade plaque is engraved with array patterns, and when activated with Qi it becomes an array talisman.

He even has an amulet hanging around his neck.

I heard that Xu Yue's help can save your life at the critical moment.

It is said that it can be used as a bullet.

Of course, he never worried about his safety, but it was better to be prepared.

"How many formations have you laid out here?"

The chief asked, not avoiding the question.

There's no need for that. He didn't remember to follow along this time, and even if he did, he would still be able to tell what can be reported and what cannot.

"The Earth and the Origin Formation uses the earth's energy to nourish the soil."

"An insect repellent array, to prevent pests."

"The constant temperature array controls the temperature so that it's not too cold in the winter and not too hot in the summer."

"If it can repel insects, then it should be able to remove weeds, right?" The chief looked at the field and said, "I think there seem to be quite a few weeds in the field."

"I left it here on purpose," Xu Yue said. "Those weeds can be used to feed chickens, ducks, and fish. There's a formation set up in the paddy field for that purpose, but I also left some for the rice paddies to feed the fish."

"Is it difficult to set up the formation?"

The chief asked.

He knew where the things in Taoyuan Village came from before he came.

In fact, we also know the reasons for the limited development.

"It's difficult!" Xu Yue said, "Especially when using fruit trees to set up the formation, it will be even more difficult. If it's using jade talismans, it will be relatively simple. However, the prerequisite for setting up the formation is to reach the second realm! Right now, only Ruoxi and I can do it."

"During this period, we've also tried using Feng Shui to set up a formation," Xu Yue continued. "It's feasible, but the efficiency is too low and the difficulty is high. So, I want to study whether modern technology can solve the problem."

"Can I go see your lab?"

The chief asked.

Can it?

Of course it is possible.

What's more, people like Academician Meng can enter the laboratory, let alone the leader.

Xu Yue’s laboratory is very large, even larger than the camp next to it.

Usually it’s just Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi.

When they were not around, there was only Xu Jiangming and his wife.

"Why are these?"

The chief looked at the seeds, seedlings, and poultry in the laboratory and asked angrily.

"Infuse them with spirit!" Xu Yue said, "In modern terms, it means improving their quality and allowing them to grow better. This way, not only will the taste be improved, but the growth rate will also be enhanced."

"Farmers have three schools of thought: those of nature, those of the land, and those of the self," Xu Yue said. "Spirit infusion belongs to the self-centered approach of farmers, and it improves crops and poultry themselves. This is similar to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' research on how to increase crop yields and enhance drought and cold resistance."

The chief nodded. It was indeed the same idea, just with different means.

From this perspective, it seems that farmers' methods are simpler.

Just place the seeds and seedlings in the formation for a period of time.

"Can this seed be grown in other places?"

The chief couldn't help but ask.

There are too many limitations to replicating Taoyuan Village, but if the seeds can be popularized, it will increase yields and reduce the impact of natural disasters.

This is also very good.

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has tried it," Xu Yue said. "It attracts insects!"

"Attracting insects?"

The leader looked at Xu Yue with some confusion.

"Pests prefer crops infused with spirits," Xu Yue said. "Maybe they smell better than other crops."

"Is there a solution?"

The chief couldn't help but ask.

If this problem is solved, it will improve various properties of crops.

Just think about the impact of hybrid rice on the grain industry and you can guess something.

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences should have done some research," Xu Yue said. "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't have the time for it right now. Besides, this isn't a problem for me."

Why don’t you have time?
The development of the farm cannot be separated from Xu Yue.

He needs to take time to set up the formation.

Of course, the key is that he still needs to spend time studying those magical skills and formations.

Research how to solve those pests?

Xu Yue didn't have that idea.

Because he can solve it!
So, if Xu Yue were to deal with this problem, he could just use an insect repellent array to solve it.

The chief nodded.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences obviously hasn't come up with a solution.

This matter would be much easier if Xu Yue cooperated.

This also strengthens the necessity of the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

"I heard you can control the wind and rain?"

The chief suddenly looked at Xu Yue and asked with a smile, seeming a little curious.

"It's a little different from what you imagine calling the wind and rain," Xu Yue said. "The wind I call out will only make everyone feel a little cooler, and it'll probably just lift the corners of my clothes. As for calling for rain? I guess it'll only be enough to irrigate a few acres of land."

"Oh?" the chief said, "Desert people are also okay?"

"The rainfall limit is quite large. If it's in a place with a lot of moisture, the amount will be much greater." Xu Yue said, "Although I've never been to the desert, I guess it can ensure that I won't die of thirst."

“Are agricultural methods effective in combating desertification?”

The chief asked.

Desertification control is also a key project of the country today.

Now we have achieved considerable results.

But only you know the hardships involved.

The desert problem is still very serious.

"Yes!" Xu Yue said, "Most of the hilltops in the village are equipped with formations that can stabilize the soil. That's to prevent landslides and other things. If it can stabilize the soil, it can naturally stabilize the sand as well. This should be very effective in desertification control. In addition, agricultural methods can make poplars, tamarisks, camel thorns, etc. more cold-resistant and drought-resistant, increasing their lifespan."

"Some methods of the Self-I School, the Geographical School, and even the Time School can be used." Xu Yue said, "Sandstorms can actually be solved through agricultural methods."

The leader looked at Xu Yue and nodded.

He didn't think Xu Yue would joke about such a thing.

But Xu Yue obviously won't go.

When manpower is limited.

A person's power is limited after all.

Asking Xu Yue to control desertification would inevitably be a waste of his talent.

He is more valuable in other areas.

So how to solve such a problem?
It's actually simple.

Wouldn’t it be better if there were more people like Xu Yue?

After leaving the laboratory, the group went to see the sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc.

Then I went to the tea mountain to take a look.

Didn't go anywhere else.

The leader and his entourage left without having lunch.

"Is it done?"

Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"It should be done," Xu Yue said. "However, I don't know when it will be implemented. After all, the leaders above consider issues differently from us. They consider all aspects, even many years later."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded. Since they were standing in different positions, their perspectives would naturally be different.

Just like Xu Yue and his team were considering what impact the establishment of the Agricultural Science and Technology College would have on them.

What the leaders above are considering is the impact on the country.

It might even have some impact on the world.

Is it done?
A few days later, Jing Guohua came again.

There was another person accompanying him, and that was the person following the leader.

He looks to be in his forties, but definitely older.

Xu Yue even suspected that it was older than his grandfather.

"This is Director Yan from the Special Management Bureau!"

Jing Guohua introduced the visitor to Xu Yue.

Director?
Jing Guohua, the person in charge of the three southwestern states, calls him the director, so he is probably the director of the Special Management Bureau.

"Hello, Director Yan!"

Xu Yue greeted him with a smile.

This person might really be a fourth-level expert as I guessed.

I just don’t know whether it is martial arts cultivation or spiritual cultivation.

If a fight broke out, Xu Yue felt that even if he used all his skills, he might not be able to defeat his opponent.

"Hello!" Director Yan looked at Xu Yue and said, "The young are formidable. I never thought that a farmer from the pre-Qin period would appear again."

When Xu Yue heard this, he looked at Director Yan.

"Director Yan seems to know the lost secret of the Nong family?"

Xu Yue looked at Director Yan and couldn't help asking.

"The changes in the world are inevitable due to the development of history." Director Yan said with a smile, "No ruler in ancient times would allow farming to be uncontrollable!"
