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

Chapter 307 Can medicinal herbs be grown in the desert?
Does Guo Tianyou have wine at home?

Have!
The infused liquor prepared by Xu Chengyang.

That jar of wine was clearly not enough for so many people.

He naturally didn't mind Xu Yue sending someone to deliver the wine.

Perhaps, that's what he hoped Xu Yue would do.

The wine that Xu Yue sent must be "Peach Blossom Spring Immortal Wine"!
This wine is just as good as wine made with century-old ginseng, and Guo Tianyou even thinks it tastes better.

It's just that soaking it in alcohol isn't as beneficial to the body as soaking it in alcohol.

If you want to satisfy your appetite, then Peach Blossom Spring Wine is the first choice.

Xu Yue had two boxes delivered.

The fact that Taoyuan Immortal Wine is hard to find outside is partly due to scarcity marketing.

There are still quite a few items remaining in Taoyuan Village.

Especially after the second rice harvest, a considerable amount of wine was brewed.

The yield and quality of second-season rice differ slightly from those of the first season.

The conclusion given by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is that it was caused by climate differences.

The biggest reason is sunlight.

Whether planting two rice crops will affect the first rice crop next year is obviously not yet clear.

However, both Xu Yue and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences thought it wouldn't happen.

Guo Tianyou breaking through to the third realm is naturally a good thing.

Putting aside everything else, setting up the formation is much easier than before.

Besides the three members of the Xu family in their three realms, there are three other people in Taoyuan County.

Lee Chu-ting, Kwok Tin-yu, and Liu Cheng-chi.

The second realm goes without saying.

Based on this strength alone, many major factions in the country cannot compare.

Moreover, there's Xu Yue, who killed a fourth-level enemy.

When are we going to the desert?

During the meal, Guo Tianyou asked about Xu Yue.

Xu Yue asked him to participate in the research of the ancient tomb formation, but he was just a participant, learning along the way.

He's not a key player.

Comparatively speaking, his role in the desert was undoubtedly more significant.

"We'll start working on the formation at Wangjiaba in a couple of days," Xu Yue said. "Once that's done, we'll move on to the desert."

"If you're free, Mr. Liu, how about we go together?"

Xu Yue then looked at Liu Chengji and said casually.

"it is good!"

Liu Chengji nodded without hesitation.

Having something to do is much better than having nothing to do.

He can't just eat and drink and do nothing, can he?
Xu Yue treated Liu Chengji quite well; he received the same treatment as Guo Tianyou and the others.

However, the villa is still under construction.

As for whether or not to transfer his household registration to Taoyuan Village, that depends on Liu Chengji's wishes.

"Give Master Liu a copy of those array diagrams from the farmers."

Xu Yue then looked at Guo Tianyou and said something, and then spoke to Liu Chengji.

Guo Tianyou naturally wouldn't refuse.

His feng shui skills were clearly inferior to Liu Chengji's, but he was far more familiar with the formations used by farmers.

Guo Tianyou naturally understood why Xu Yue asked him to give it to him.

We should learn from each other.

Guo Tianyou ate and drank for a long time before everyone went their separate ways.

Yu Suihai took his leave first.

He was actually the only outsider among this group.

Of course, he and Guo Tianyou have an excellent personal relationship, so he should still have the drink.

Then Xu Yue and Xu Jianghe also left.

Liu Chengji didn't leave because he wanted the diagram of the farmer's formation.

He had long been curious about this.

As for Li Zhuting?
Their family is now considered neighbors with Guo Tianyou.

However, the couple did not stay long.

Li Zhuting went to the military camp, and his wife Mei Tingyuan went to the back mountain.

She is now training those retired female soldiers.

"Can a farmer's formation really be arranged using feng shui principles?"

Looking at the diagram of the farmer's formation, Liu Chengji asked in surprise.

“Only those formations that utilize the earth’s energy will work,” Guo Tianyou said. “Those are just one school of thought within the Farmer School. Moreover, these formations are among the more commonly used and simpler ones. Unfortunately, I haven’t mastered them all.”

"Why?"

Liu Chengji looked at the battle formation diagram, then at Guo Tianyou.

“Using the earth’s energy to connect the nodes of the formation is extremely difficult,” Guo Tianyou said. “Of course, my previous lack of cultivation level may have played a significant role in that.”

“The magical power of the Feng Shui school is indeed easier to manipulate the earth’s energy than spiritual power,” Liu Chengji said. “However, it is ultimately not the method of the agricultural school.”

"Master Liu, do you think it's possible to achieve the same effect as a traditional farming formation using feng shui methods?"

Guo Tianyou suddenly asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"I don't know, but we can look into it," Liu Chengji said. "Now that we're working together, you can just call me Lao Liu. Calling me Master Liu is a bit too formal."

"it is good!"

Guo Tianyou did not refuse.

Of course, Liu Chengji's politeness was probably not only because they were both working under Xu Yue, but also because of his breakthrough to the third realm.

"Are we getting busy?"

When Xu Yue returned home, he mentioned to Zhang Ruoxi that he was going to Wangjiaba to set up a formation.

"Forget about it!" Xu Yue said. "Guo Tianyou has broken through to the third realm, and with Liu Chengji, a great feng shui master, he should be just as fast as before."

Previously, Zhang Ruoxi was usually the one to take action, while Xu Yue would provide guidance from the sidelines.

Later, Guo Tianyu also got involved, so Xu Yue hardly participated anymore.

This time, Xu Yue also relied mainly on Guo Tianyou and his group.

He will only intervene if there is a formation they cannot set up.

“I didn’t say I was going to help,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Is the farm still expanding? Yin Xue called me today, and she kept asking about it. Hmm, she was probably trying to entice me.”

"How did you respond?"

Xu Yue asked casually.

He also knew that Yin Xue was under a lot of pressure.

After all, the village on the farm has such a high income that it's no wonder the neighboring villages are envious.

Why wouldn't the village committees of other villages go to the town government?

Not to mention the town, many people in the district are looking for us.

Of course, the farms were the most sought-after.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Yin Xue, the town leader, was naturally annoyed to no end.

“The farm won’t be expanded for now; we’ll wait until things in the desert are on track,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “However, Tian Yizhi wants to build a mineral water factory, right? We can consider that when we start hiring.”

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

The mineral water plant may not be large, but it does need to hire a lot of workers.

In addition, the pharmaceutical factory will naturally be hiring.

This undoubtedly solves many employment problems.

Xingdong Town clearly has a geographical advantage.

After all, both the mineral water factory and the pharmaceutical factory are located within the jurisdiction of Xingdong Town.

“I reckon she’ll probably come looking for you again,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “You know what kind of person she is.”

"I reckon she'll be transferred to the district soon, right?" Xu Yue said. "She's quite career-oriented."

"During the Spring Festival, she was set up on another blind date by her family," Zhang Ruoxi suddenly said with a smile. "Guess who it was?"

"Who?" Xu Yue said, "Do we know each other? It can't be that guy Wang Haolin, can it?"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and nodded.

"They're going on blind dates again?" Xu Yue said. "Didn't they already go on blind dates before? Wang Haolin almost got beaten up by her."

“Things are different now!” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Yin Xue is not young anymore.” Not young?
Not thirty yet, right?
Before the age of thirty, they can probably be transferred to the district level, and even if it's a deputy position, it will probably be one with real power.

Xu Yue's appearance gave her a wealth of experience.

"Done?"

Xu Yue asked in surprise, "I didn't hear Wang Haolin mention this!"

Surprised?

They didn't seem that surprised.

The Wang Haolin family and the Yin Xue family were already old friends and came from the same lineage.

Besides, Wang Haolin isn't that bad.

The key point is that he's getting close to Xu Yue now.

Yin Xue's family must be aware of this as well.

Just like Wang Zemin, who is now a rising star.

Why?

Because Xu Yue's message reached the highest levels of government, concerning major policies such as rural revitalization.

Now it concerns desertification control and other issues.

Wang Zemin thus came to the attention of those above.

His career path is bound to be smooth sailing; as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the end is unknown.

Moreover, Wang Zemin is a very capable person.

However, he probably won't be able to give birth anytime soon.

One reason is that he is still young, and the other is that he was just promoted last year.

"Whether it worked out or not, she didn't say," Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "However, she didn't almost hit anyone like last time."

Is there progress?

However, Yin Xue no longer dislikes it, but what about Wang Haolin?
Ask later.

Xu Yue's gossipy nature was piqued by Zhang Ruoxi's words.

Yin Xue is no simple girl. If the two of them really get together, Wang Haolin will be completely at her mercy.

Just as Xu Yue had guessed, Yin Xue soon came to him.

We didn't come to Taoyuan Village, but to Wangjiaba.

Just as Xu Yue arrived at Wangjiaba with Guo Tianyou and his son, as well as Liu Chengji, Yin Xue arrived.

Accompanying him was an acquaintance of Xu Yue.

Cao Zhengyang, formerly the head of the local police station, is now the deputy mayor of the town.

He should get promoted.

"I heard you went on another blind date?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "How did it go?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xue almost turned around and left.

How can you ask me this in front of so many people? Don't I have any dignity?

Yin Xue remained silent, but glared at Xu Yue.

“Old classmate, I’m about to become a father,” Xu Yue said. “Wang Haolin is actually quite a good guy.”

"What, Mr. Xu, would you like to play matchmaker for a bit?"

Yin Xue couldn't help but retort to Xu Yue, seemingly indicating that she needed to speak with him.

"If the opportunity arises, I really wouldn't mind," Xu Yue said with a smile. "I don't need you to prepare a whole pig's head for me, but a red envelope would be fine too."

Xu Yue and his family have a custom of sending a pig's head to the matchmaker.

However, it has become rare in recent years.

"I heard you're planning to open a mineral water factory on your farm?" Yin Xue asked. "Have you chosen a location yet?"

Seeing that Yin Xue had changed the subject, Xu Yue stopped teasing her.

Talking too much about this can easily ruin things.

When it comes to relationships, it's best to let things take their natural course.

"I really don't know," Xu Yue said. "You'll have to ask Lao Tian."

"Mr. Tian?"

Yin Xue nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

Xu Yue was a hands-off manager.

He focused more on the technical aspects and didn't concern himself with farm management at all.

"You'll probably go to the desert again, right?" Yin Xue said. "I guess I haven't finished my work there yet."

"I'll head over there once I'm done with what I'm doing by the river," Xu Yue said. "There are still some things to take care of over there."

There's not much going on in the desert, but I still have to go.

Yin Xue chatted for a few minutes, then left with her people.

Without a doubt, he went to find Tian Yizhi.

"How is it?" Xu Yue then found Guo Tianyou and asked, "What's the difference compared to before?"

"It's easier to manipulate the earth's energy," Guo Tianyou said. "It seems that I can manipulate the earth's energy without magic tools, but it's still a bit difficult to control."

"Take your time!" Xu Yue said. "You can try other formations now."

Guo Tianyou did not refuse.

He had a deep understanding of the formations used by farmers, but he was not good at controlling the earth's energy in the past, so he never had the chance to try.

Where is Master Liu?

Xu Yue casually asked about Liu Chengji.

"He and Guo Huai went over there to mark the nodes of the formation."

Guo Tianyou pointed to the distance.

There was no one there, but he was only pointing in one direction.

Guo Huai led Liu Chengji to mark the nodes, while Guo Tianyou connected the nodes and set up the formation.

As for Xu Yue?

Identify problems and provide guidance.

Of course, there are some formations that Guo Tianyou is unable to set up, and Xu Yue will have to do it.

Wangjiaba is a large village.

However, after the factory was built, there wasn't much land available that needed the important medicinal herbs.

The number of formations that need to be set up is actually not many.

After Guo Tianyu reached the third realm, his efficiency naturally increased significantly.

In particular, Liu Chengji also tried it later and gradually learned how.

"How about we rent the two villages next door as well?" Xu Miao asked Xu Yue. "I'm afraid relying solely on Niwa Village and Wangjiaba to grow medicinal herbs might not be enough."

Taoyuan Village also grows medicinal herbs, but not as much as Wangjiaba Village.

"Row!"

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then nodded.

“But you’re not planning to rely on farming for everything, are you?” Xu Yue said. “If that’s the case, renting two more villages, let alone two more towns, probably wouldn’t be enough.”

“Of course!” Xu Miao said, “They are all good medicines, but not good for the market. Using cultivated medicinal herbs as a base, the medicine produced is much more effective than medicines on the market. If all the medicinal herbs are cultivated, then it is comparable to a miracle drug.”

Xu Yue glanced at Xu Miao; it seemed this guy had done his research.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem surprising.

They're in this line of work; if they couldn't even think of this, what kind of business would they be in?
"Is the clinic researching whether other medicinal herbs can be used as substitutes?"

Xu Yue continued to ask.

Their pharmaceutical factory primarily produces the "elixirs" developed by clinics.

“Those pills are comparable to divine medicines,” Xu Miao said, shaking his head. “If ordinary medicinal materials are used instead, it’s not that the medicinal properties are inferior, but that they simply won’t work.”

Xu Yue was naturally not surprised by this.

Those pills are high-end products, so the quantity is naturally not very large.

However, Xu Miao was quick-witted and clearly not satisfied with just producing those pills.

He planned to use the name of that elixir to establish a brand effect, and then launch other medicines.

For example, using the medicinal herbs planted by Xu Yue as a starting point, one can obtain herbs with better medicinal effects.

Once a brand becomes well-known, other general medicines will naturally be more easily accepted by the market.

With elixirs and newer drugs with even better effects as a foundation, if the company still can't develop, then Xu Miao won't need to stay in this industry.

Moreover, this pharmaceutical company also has shares in the Special Administration.

This will also bring many conveniences.

"I heard you're doing agriculture in the desert. Can medicinal herbs be grown in the desert?"

Xu Miao looked at Xu Yue.

The biggest obstacle to the development of pharmaceutical factories is obviously the raw materials, not the market.
