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

Chapter 357 A public display of divine power, reshaping one's worldview?
Xue Jing's school is at least a 211 university, and his future looks bright.

But suddenly transferring him to this godforsaken place, and making him the vice principal, would be something no one would want.

This doesn't look like a university at all.
Those diploma mills are far superior.

I've been exiled.

Xue Jing didn't want to come, but he had no choice but to.

After arriving and seeing the academy, my heart sank to the bottom.

This doesn't look like a university at all!

After meeting the college principal, he felt even more hopeless.

Such a young person as a principal?!

Not reliable!
That's so unreliable!

But since we're already here, we can't just quit, can we?
Even if you quit your job, you should at least understand the situation clearly first.

The more he learned, the greater his shock became.

This college was actually founded jointly by agricultural science, the military, and Taoyuan Farm.

Moreover, it received strong support from above!

That young principal is Xu Yue, the founder and owner of Taoyuan Farm.

The academy was actually created because his farm needed talent, and he wanted to train some people for his farm. After the higher-ups found out, they kept pushing for it, and that's how this academy came about.

Xu Yue has a surprising identity: a contemporary successor of the rural family tradition.

Correct!
It's the agricultural school of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period.

He was able to establish Taoyuan Farm, making its products a hit in the high-end catering industry, with demand exceeding supply, all thanks to his traditional farming methods.

Food grown and raised using traditional farming methods not only tastes delicious but is also beneficial to health.

After Xue Jing arrived, he naturally sampled the food in the cafeteria.

Then, it spiraled out of control.

If we can make it back in time, we'll eat in the cafeteria.

If I really can't make it back in time, then there's nothing I can do.

There's no way around it; he's in charge of many things at the academy.

The academy primarily teaches traditional farming methods; modern agricultural knowledge is only supplementary.

This is a trend that combines traditional farming methods with modern technology.

Of course, what shocked Xue Jing even more was the first batch of students.

They are not recruited from among the new high school graduates.

Most of the trainees came from agricultural research institutes in various regions, followed by students majoring in agriculture from various colleges and universities.

Yenching University recruited two people from each of them.

Half of them have a postgraduate degree.

In addition, there are doctoral students as well.

As for the teaching staff, needless to say.

The farming techniques they majored in were personally taught by Principal Xu Yue, but let's leave that aside for now.

There is more than one academician at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

In addition, two research teams from the university arrived, both led by academicians.

However, what was most shocking was the farmer's method.

Teaching what?
Breathing techniques, formations, supernatural powers?
This almost reshaped Xue Jing's worldview.

Is this a cultivation academy?
He didn't believe it at first.

But after meeting him, he believed it.

Because he himself tried the breathing technique.

Even though I haven't entered the country yet, I've still been able to sense the Qi (vital energy).

The key is that my body is getting better, and I can clearly feel it.

"Are you trying to show off in front of everyone?"

Academician Meng looked at Xu Yue and said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it," Li Weimin said with a smile. "I've been here for so long, but I've never seen anything like it."

Li Weimin was an academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who was transferred there after Academician Meng went to the desert.

Xu Yue had little contact with him.

After this person arrived, he was either busy in the fields or in the laboratory.

"A little stimulation is good," Xue Jing said. "We've all signed confidentiality agreements, so it won't get out."

He was actually very eager to see just how amazing the farming methods were.

Of course, the main reason was to have Xu Yue reshape the values ​​of those trainees.

This will improve your motivation to learn in the future.

The level of cultivation is the key.

The students, having received scientific education from a young age, clearly had reservations about such matters.

This is why many people who have learned breathing techniques still haven't experienced the sensation of breath.

Disbelief, skepticism, and perfunctory responses.
Or perhaps they don't know how powerful they will become after practicing, so they don't take it seriously.

Breathing method?
There are plenty of examples of this online.

There are breathing techniques involved in martial arts stance training and similar exercises.

There are even breathing techniques used by monks and Taoist priests during meditation.

But how much thought do they actually put into figuring it out and cultivating it?

The key is that this rural breathing method only works if you go to work in the fields.

How many young people today are willing to try it?
Even those people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences mostly practice breathing techniques passively.

Let them see how powerful the farming methods are; they'll be much more motivated to learn.

"I haven't seen it much either. I'm actually curious about your farming methods and whether you can really summon wind and rain."

Academician Meng said with a smile that the most they had ever seen were formations.

I've never actually seen any supernatural powers before.

Commanding the wind and rain?

It sounds impressive, but it's actually quite simple among the supernatural arts of farmers.

Just then, Xu Yue's phone rang.

"Feel sorry!"

Xu Yue gave an awkward smile, apologized, and then got up to answer the phone.

He rarely attends meetings these days, so naturally he forgot to turn off the silent mode.

He left quickly and came back quickly.

"The higher-ups will be coming tomorrow."

Xu Yue returned to the conference room and spoke.

"Chief?"

Xue Jing was somewhat surprised.

It's not some higher-ups, but a higher-ranking official.

Then naturally, it would be the head of the central government.

Xu Yue did not say who it was.

The call was from Yan Tian, ​​but he didn't say which leader it was.

However, Xu Yue guessed it was the same person who had come to Taoyuan Village before.

"Are we still proceeding according to plan?"

Xue Jing asked, "Now that the higher-ups have arrived, is it appropriate for Xu Yue to use his supernatural powers to provoke the students again?"
"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

The leader's visit is likely not just to show support for the academy; it may also be related to the desertification control efforts at the farm.

As for what happens to the academy, he probably won't interfere.

They might not even get to take the stage.

The next day, Xu Yue arrived early and waited at the gate with the school leaders.

Around eight o'clock, the leader arrived.

In addition to Yan Tian, ​​leaders from the prefecture and city also accompanied him.

Most of them have been seen by Xu Yue.

What time does the ceremony start?

The leader asked Xu Yue with a smile.

"nine thirty."

Xu Yue answered casually.

At this moment, almost everyone in the academy was in their classrooms, making the entire academy seem deserted.

"Then show us around."

The leader began to speak.

It was his first time visiting the college, and he was filled with curiosity about this college surrounded by farmland, ponds, pigsties, and other structures.

This college is related to national policies on rural revitalization and desertification control.

The college is quite large, and it has quite a few buildings.

It has teaching buildings, a library, dormitories, and a canteen.
As Xu Yue walked, the leader introduced the school. The school facilities were quite complete.

"I didn't see any air conditioner outdoor units outside the student dormitory. Are they fans installed indoors?"

Although the temperature dropped slightly in September, it was still quite hot.

Some people who can't stand the heat still need fans, air conditioners, and other cooling methods.

"The college is warm in winter and cool in summer, so there is no need for air conditioning."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

"Farmer's methods?"

Upon hearing this, the leader smiled and asked.

The person who spoke just now may not have been asking their own question; they were simply noticing the leader's doubts.

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded, offering no further explanation, nor was it necessary.

"You must have set up quite a few agricultural formations in your academy, right?" the leader said with a smile. "Controlling the temperature must be just one of them?"

"There are quite a few formations," Xu Yue nodded and said, "Snakes, insects, and rodents are almost extinct in the academy. Therefore, students don't need mosquito coils or anything like that. Of course, the insect-repelling formations aren't the main point; the key is that the academy has set up a spirit-gathering formation and an earth-returning formation."

Xu Yue gave a brief explanation of the formations and their effects.

"here it is?"

The leader arrived at a laboratory and asked a question.

“This is Academician Liu Guoxing’s laboratory,” Xu Yue said, pointing to a small building not far away. “That’s Academician Ma Bohan’s laboratory over there.”

Yan Tian then whispered a few words in the leader's ear.

The leader nodded but did not continue the topic.

Both Liu Guoxing's and Ma Bohan's research are top secret and obviously not suitable to be discussed in this setting.

After making their wish and strolling around, the group then arrived at the school playground.

The school playground is quite large; it can easily accommodate several thousand or even tens of thousands of people.

With only a thousand or so people now, it seems rather sparse.

The school has also built an auditorium, which can easily accommodate over a thousand people.

However, they didn't choose the auditorium, but rather the playground.

Hey!
When the school leaders stepped onto the stage, a commotion broke out below.

Because an unexpected person appeared.

“He actually came!”

Wang Haolin was somewhat surprised.

He wasn't surprised at all when his father came, or even when the state leaders came.

But who would have thought that the central leadership would actually arrive?

That person is someone who frequently appears on the evening news.

But, come to think of it, it doesn't seem surprising.

The higher-ups attach great importance to this academy, so how could Wang Haolin and his colleagues not know this?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to go back to school to study again after graduating for many years.

"The higher-ups attach great importance to this academy."

Hu Hai couldn't help but mutter something to himself.

However, the noise quickly subsided.

The ceremony was presided over by Han Lingxue.

The opening ceremony was announced to begin, followed by the raising of the national flag and the playing of the national anthem.
Then, naturally, student and teacher representatives gave speeches.
The leader sat on the stage but did not speak.

Since he didn't speak, the leaders from the state and city naturally didn't come forward either.

Finally, Principal Xu Yue gave a speech.

Both those on and off stage were filled with anticipation.

"My name is Xu Yue, and I am the principal of this school."

“Some people know me, and many people don’t. Of course, some people have guessed my identity from the contracts you signed.”

"That's right, I am the owner of Peach Blossom Farm. After you graduate, you will either work for me on the farm or receive investment from the farm to replicate more Peach Blossom Farms in other places."

"Of course, I also have another identity: the contemporary successor of the farming family!"

"Yes, it is the Agricultural School among the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"What you're here at is mainly to learn farming techniques."

"The things at Taoyuan Farm are all grown or raised using traditional farming methods."

What methods do farmers use?

"Gathering spirit, dispelling turbidity, moisturizing, promoting growth, consolidating the soil, enriching the land, focusing the mind, calming the spirit, inducing change, and facilitating life. These are the methods of farmers."

"There are three schools of thought among farmers: those who believe in the right time, those who believe in the right place, and those who believe in their own nature."

"The 'Egoist' approach enhances crops and livestock themselves. For example, drought-resistant crops are made more cold-resistant through farming methods, which makes planting them in the desert much easier."

"Taoyuan Farm has already planted dryland rice on a large scale in the desert. Many people have probably seen this news."

"Of course, increasing drought resistance is one of them."

"The 'geographical advantage school' naturally focuses on improving soil fertility, such as moisturizing, soil consolidation, and fertilizing the land, all of which belong to this school of thought."

"The 'Essentialist' approach focuses on improving the crop itself to adapt to harsh environments, the 'Geographicalist' approach focuses on changing the soil environment, and the 'Timingist' approach focuses on changing the weather and climate."

How to improve?

"This is naturally different from the technological methods you are familiar with."

"Farmers use supernatural powers and formations to achieve their goals."

"It's pretty fantastical, isn't it?"

"It's so fantastical!"

"As long as your cultivation level is high enough, it's not impossible to summon wind and rain!"

"Do not believe?"

"fog!"

When Xu Yue shouted the word "fog," fog instantly rose over the playground.

To be more precise, it was foggy in the area where the trainees were located.

There was nothing on the platform, nor around it.

The fog wasn't very thick, not so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but it still left the teachers and students in the audience speechless.

This includes Wang Haolin and others who have some knowledge of the subject.

"wind!"

Xu Yue then shouted again.

A gust of wind swept by, dispersing the fog.

Almost everyone on and off the stage was stunned.

The leaders and others remained calm, but there was a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

They've seen it all, and they've long since learned to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

Of course, some people didn't react much.

That was Yan Tian.

Although he had never seen Xu Yue use these supernatural abilities, he was not surprised.

"rain!"

Xu Yue spoke again.

At that moment, dark clouds gathered above the students' heads, and then a light rain began to fall.

And it's gradually getting bigger.

"thunder!"

Xu Yue's words startled many people.

However, the lightning didn't strike the student directly above his head; instead, it struck from a short distance away.

The playground surface was scorched black by the slashing.

The leader's expression changed, as did Yan Tian's.

He wondered if Xu Yue would be able to dodge if he were struck by lightning.

If he can't avoid it, can he withstand it?
"Want to learn?"

Xu Yue asked with a smile.

Everyone in the audience nodded subconsciously.

Just kidding, who wouldn't want to learn that?

To be able to summon wind and rain is simply divine power.

Many people feel that their values ​​have been reshaped.

This isn't some rural science and technology college; it's more like a cultivation academy!

This is like summoning wind and rain, and even thunder.

Is this a farmhouse?

Or is it a science and technology college?

Did you make a mistake!
Is the school's name just a cover for "No. 1 Middle School"?
“I will naturally teach you,” Xu Yue said. “However, you can’t learn it now. Divine power formations require the cultivation of the second realm, and some of you haven’t even grasped the Qi sense yet.”

"Keep striving! Those who haven't yet grasped the feeling of Qi, hurry up and try; those who have grasped it, hurry up and guide the Qi into your body," Xu Yue continued. "Those who have already guided the Qi into their bodies, then cultivate diligently and strive to open your dantian and reach the second realm as soon as possible."

"Of course, while the academy focuses on cultivation, other aspects cannot be neglected," Xu Yue continued. "Familiarity with and comprehension of agricultural treatises, ancient agricultural texts, and modern agricultural knowledge will be helpful for your future understanding of supernatural abilities and formations."
