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

Chapter 317 Technology is the Mainstream
Tian Yizi is here.

Huang Liang also arrived.

Even Yang Rui from Shuxiang Pavilion and Shen Yu's father, Shen Jianjun, came.

He even invited many of his business associates to attend.

The hotel opening was quite lively.

Xu Yue was unaware of how the county leaders spoke with Tian Yizhi, and he wasn't particularly interested in it.

Xu Yue didn't care whether the environmental protection company would take on the project.

However, based on his understanding of Tian Yizhi, he would probably accept the offer, but he would ask about the technical aspects before doing so.

If it can be resolved, then I will naturally accept it.

If it can't be solved, then what's the next step?

Does this contradict myself?

Who to ask?

Guo Huai wasn't there, but Xu Yue was, so there's no need to elaborate.

"You expect me to take action?" Xu Yue said. "Go ask Guo Huai later."

Guo Huai is a technical consultant for the environmental protection company.

I've been researching array formations and array patterns related to purifying turbidity lately.

For him, general pollution control is not a problem.

"It seems that cleaning up the Shuangxi River isn't a difficult task for you," Tian Yizhi said with a smile. "Then do you think Guo Huai can solve it?"

Tian Yizhi was clearly not surprised by Xu Yue's answer.

As expected.

He doesn't really care about farm matters, let alone environmental protection companies.

"It should be fine," Xu Yue said. "The pollution of Shuangxi River is actually not serious; it's much better than it was a few years ago."

The reason things have improved is that many of the root causes have been cut off.

In recent years, the country has clearly attached great importance to environmental governance.

Unfortunately, destruction is easy, but restoration is difficult.

"That's good!"

Tian Yizi smiled and nodded.

"Are you still planning to personally manage the environmental protection company?" Xu Yue asked Tian Yizhi. "Can you handle the workload?"

“I’m too busy to manage it myself,” Tian Yizhi said. “We just haven’t found the right person yet.”

Xu Yue nodded.

Taoyuan Farm is about to be transformed into Taoyuan Farm Group, and Tian Yizhi will serve as its general manager.

He naturally has even more to do.

As for whether the environmental protection company would be placed under the farm group, Xu Yue didn't really care.

However, it's unlikely that it will be placed under a farm group, like Taoyuan Farm Trade.

"Don't fight for too long!"

After parting ways with Tian Yizhi, Xu Yue went to the teahouse and gave Zhang Ruoxi some instructions.

Although I'm not worried that Zhang Ruoxi will lose track of time while playing mahjong.

It's okay to play mahjong in moderation during pregnancy, but you need to be careful to control the time, environment, and your emotions.

Playing mahjong should be primarily for entertainment; avoid prolonged sitting and emotional fluctuations.

"rest assured!"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and agreed.

How could she not know this?

Xu Yue wasn't the only one looking into what pregnant women need to pay attention to; she had also read a lot about it.

"Come on, there's still room here."

Shen Yu called out to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to play cards with them.

"Business seems to be pretty good," Feng Jie said. "We've even turned over tables today."

"It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad today," Shen Yu said. "Quite a few guests have come to show their support."

Of course, besides those who came to show their support, there were also many who came specifically for the opening ceremony.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to even fill the seats, let alone turn over tables.

"Making money shouldn't be a problem," Tie Wei said. "There are quite a few wealthy people in the county, and also a lot of tourists."

Xu Yue nodded.

If they lose money, that would be a bit unreasonable.

A county town, especially one with abundant tourism resources, can certainly afford to maintain a four-star hotel.

Moreover, this hotel also offers top-notch cuisine.

Many prominent people came today, and Xiong Yong personally greeted them all.

This also allowed him to build his network of contacts.

As for Xu Yue, he didn't even consider those people worthy of his attention.

Different levels.

Those people also knew that Xiong Yong was Xu Yue's cousin and was familiar with Wang Haolin's group, so they naturally gave him face and were happy to befriend him.

This allowed him to gain a foothold on the scene.

Xu Yue's second aunt and uncle also came.

After finishing their meal, they didn't leave but stayed in the teahouse chatting with relatives and friends.

Kumamoto has relatives there, and naturally, they also have friends.

We also invited some people to come and show their support today.

After playing for a while, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi prepared to go back.

The same applies to Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun.

"Xiao Yue, thank you so much for the hotel," Xu Jianglin said. "Otherwise, your cousin probably wouldn't even be able to keep that teahouse running."

There shouldn't be any problem keeping the teahouse open.

The problem is that you can't make much money.

If it weren't for the Taoyuan Hotel incident, how could Xie Qingqing's parents have given in so easily?
Xu Jianglin didn't seem to have any complaints about this.

If Lu Zhenyu were to act like her own son had before, she would have some objections.

Parents all want their children to have a good life!

"We're family, no need for formalities," Xu Yue said. "If anything comes up, just have my cousin come find me."

Xu Jianglin nodded naturally.

As for the matter of borrowing money to open a hotel, it wasn't mentioned, and there's no need to mention it.

After making money, you naturally have to pay it back.

However, Xu Yue didn't care at all.

He didn't say anything about not paying back anything, which made it better for Xiong Yong to feel some pressure.

Without pressure, it's easy for people to just lie down and relax.

Xu Yue is like that in some things.

Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun drove themselves, so they didn't need to go back in the same car as Xu Yue and the others.

“I heard from Xiong Yan that many of the guests here today have purchased membership cards,” Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. “We could actually get one too.”

"Why would I need to open one?" Xu Yue asked. "Are you here to patronize some businesses?"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled silently.

They didn't get a membership card, so they'll probably get a better discount than members.

For example, Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel are examples.

And it's not just one store, but all branches nationwide are like this.

However, they rarely eat at their restaurant.

"The hotel chef's cooking skills are quite good," Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile, adding, "When Shen Yu starts poaching talent, he doesn't even spare his own people."

"It's less like poaching and more like reassigning people," Xu Yue said with a smile. "But don't tell Mom about your cooking skills when you get back."

“Mom’s cooking is actually not bad at all,” Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile.

Not bad?

That's because their ingredients are better. It probably has little to do with cooking skills.

However, home-cooked meals certainly don't have as many variety as those served in hotels.

Putting everything else aside, the difference in appearance alone is like night and day.

"Cousin Xiong really isn't planning to go to the academy?" Xu Yue continued to ask. "Xiong Yan doesn't want to either. I really don't know what they're thinking."

They all refuse to cultivate themselves?
You can become stronger by doing farm work, yet some people refuse?

Zhang Ruoxi could hardly imagine it.

“If they had the heart to cultivate, they would have started practicing martial arts long ago.” Xu Yue shook his head and said, “When they were little, my second aunt taught them. My grandfather also wanted to teach them.”

"There is a difference between practicing Qi cultivation and practicing martial arts."

Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and smiled, clearly still finding it hard to understand.

In her view, cultivation can bring people an unimaginable joy.

Feel the changes in your body, feel yourself gradually becoming stronger.

To wield legendary powers and accomplish things that seem only possible for gods.
“There is a difference between Qi cultivation and martial arts, but there is not much difference either.” Xu Yue shook his head and said, “Some people find cultivation enjoyable, but others find it too boring and tedious. My cousin and his brother grew up in the county town and have never experienced hardship. It would be strange if they were willing to farm or even cultivate.”

Xu Yue was not surprised at all when Xiong Yong and Xiong Yan refused.

It would be surprising if they actually went to the academy.

“Everyone has their own desired life,” Xu Yue continued. “What we need to do is respect that. Besides, I really don’t think they can achieve anything.”

If you don't have the talent for cultivation, why force it?

Xu Yue did not know whether Xiong Yong and Xiong Yan had any talent.

However, it's unlikely that either of them will put their heart into it.

Since that's the case, there's no need to offer any advice.

There are actually many methods of cultivation, but how many people are willing to calm down and cultivate?
“That’s a real shame,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Although technology is still the mainstream in society today, with the increasing amount of spiritual energy, even if cultivation doesn’t become mainstream, it won’t be as marginalized as it used to be.”

"Do you really think we can revitalize spiritual energy just by farming?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Cultivation can't replace technology as the mainstream. Even if spiritual energy revitalizes, it's only because many firearms are unusable."

Are firearms unusable?
Is it possible?
Do you really think this is a novel or a movie?

"Getting stronger and stronger?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "When all the villages in the country become paradise villages, and all the deserts in the country are transformed into spiritual fields, what difference does it make if spiritual energy is revived?"

"Getting stronger and stronger? How strong can it be? Stronger than a nuclear bomb?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "In today's world, we don't even know if there are any cultivators at the fifth realm, let alone anyone stronger."

Xu Yue didn't know how powerful the Fifth Realm was.

Even if it were stronger, Xu Yue didn't believe it could withstand a nuclear bomb.

If it can withstand one, what about two?

If you can't beat them, you can't become mainstream.

However, its importance will certainly increase.

"There are hundreds of thousands of villages across the country. How long do you think it would take to turn all the villages in the country into a paradise?" Xu Yue said. "There are only a few now!"

If there are several or even hundreds of thousands of villages every year, it would take 100,000 years.

Well, this has something to do with Xu Yue's laziness.

But if Xu Yue were to set up an array in a village, it would take at least several days.

If we were to arrange all the villages in the country, it would take millions of days.

Thousands of years.

"What's the point of building that academy?" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "If one person were to set it up, it would take thousands of years to complete. And what about thousands of people? Can't it be done in a year? What about tens of thousands?"

Xu Yue remained silent for a moment.

"How long do you think it will take to train several thousand people?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "Besides, that's not how you calculate it. After the formation is set up, are you just going to abandon it?"

"We have to do it, right?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "What if it works out?"

"It's been achieved?" Xu Yue drove, looking ahead, and then said, "That might not be a good thing for the world."

A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law!
The more people cultivate and the stronger they become, the more likely the impact will be positive.

This is not something Xu Yue should be considering.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

If we're going to do it, then we definitely have to do it.

The more spiritual energy there is, the better it is for cultivation.

Didn't those who struggled to break through the three realms break through because of this?

For example, Guo Tianyou.

As for those who break through from one realm to the second, there are even more of them.

Xu Yue drove back to Taoyuan Village from the county town.

The two chatted intermittently.

He discovered that Zhang Ruoxi liked to look to the future and think about things far in the future.

This wasn't the first time she'd mentioned the resurgence of spiritual energy.

Xu Yue felt that it had a sense of "within one's lifetime".

"Have medicinal herbs started being cultivated in the desert yet?"

Zhang Ruoxi returned to the present from afar and asked Xu Yue about desert planting.

She also contributed, and if it succeeds, she will be honored.

“It’s already been planted and it has survived,” Xu Yue said. “However, it’s hard to say whether it will mature or how effective it will be.”

“It’s definitely better than medicinal herbs grown on ordinary land,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “As for whether it can compare with other villages, that’s hard to say. But we’ll know once the herbs are ripe.”

Compared to Taoyuan Village?
There's definitely no comparison.

However, compared to other villages that grow medicinal herbs, it's hard to say.

The distance from the county seat to Taoyuan Village is farther than the distance from the city seat to Taoyuan Village.

However, the roads are much better now, and it doesn't take much time.

The Taoyuan Hotel was fully booked on its opening day.

Business will definitely decline afterward.

With the opening of the hotel, a series of activities naturally follow.

This also attracted a lot of customers.

Business declined slightly on the second day, but was still quite good.

If you keep going like this, you can not only make money, but make a lot of money.

"be careful!"

Xu Yue saw his parents off at the airport, and couldn't help but give them a few words of advice as they parted.

My parents went to Guangdong to attend my cousin's wedding.

It was a day or two earlier than usual.

"Don't worry!" Xu Jiangming said. "Your mother and I aren't defenseless. Besides, what danger could there be in attending a wedding?"

Xu Jiangming and Li Xiurong are both at the second level of cultivation. Although their supernatural abilities and techniques are not very advanced, they are still generally not a match for experts at the second level.

They lack talent in supernatural abilities and formations.

However, he mastered the fighting techniques of the farmers.

If a real fight breaks out, they'll be quite formidable.

"Call me when you're coming back, and I'll book your plane tickets," Xu Yue continued. "Please explain to my uncle and the others for me."

"Ok!"

Xu Jiangming nodded.

Xu Yue waited until they boarded the plane before driving back.

What Xu Yue didn't expect was that something bad would happen just two days later.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"My parents were beaten up."

Xu Yue spoke with a cold expression.

"What happened?" Zhang Ruoxi asked quickly. "Are you badly injured?"

"I'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days," Xu Yue said, shaking his head. "I need to go check on them. It seems my uncle and his gang offended some gangsters and caused trouble at the wedding, which is why my parents intervened."

“Go ahead!” Zhang Ruoxi said. “If I’m too lazy to cook, I can go to Grandma’s place.”

If someone can hurt another person, then that person must be of a high level.

"By plane or by car?" Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask. "If we're going by plane, it's safer to contact a special administration agency. Better safe than sorry."
