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

Chapter 380 He didn't speak.

Xu Yue would shirk responsibility for school matters whenever possible.

He was supposed to have class.

However, Xu Yue arranged for them all to be sent out.

Xu Yue passed on the knowledge of farming formations to Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji.

Xu Yue passed on the peasant martial arts techniques to Li Zhuting.

The former is still in the theoretical stage, because it has not reached the second stage and cannot be put into practice.

As for martial arts, those are secondary skills, and it doesn't matter how well you learn them.

Xu Yue doesn't need his students to be particularly good at fighting.

As for supernatural abilities, the school currently only has Han Lingxue at the second level, so it's not yet time to teach them.

And what about the works of farmers?

Schools naturally have curriculum content, but that relies more on individual understanding.

Xu Yue didn't think his understanding was correct either.

Whether it's agricultural writings, ancient agricultural works, or modern agricultural knowledge, they all lay the foundation for learning supernatural arts later on.

From this perspective, Xu Yue seems to be completely irresponsible.

actually not.

Currently, we are still in the foundation-laying stage.

The level of cultivation is the key.

That doesn't require Xu Yue's instruction.

To put it bluntly, without reaching the second realm, they wouldn't even catch Xu Yue's eye.

Only those who have entered the second realm are qualified to be taught by Xu Yue.

The wedding dinner was naturally not as lavish as lunch, but it was still quite good.

The number of guests present was definitely more than at noon.

This is very rare.

However, considering what ingredients were used at the wedding banquet, there's nothing surprising about it.

With Xu Yue's sponsorship, the Lu family has certainly gained a lot of face.

There are still very few wedding banquets that dare to use the finest cuisine.

It's not that the Lu family can't afford such a wedding banquet, it's just that there's no need for it.

Xu Yue's family went back, but Betty and Liu Feifei accompanied them.

They ran to see Wang Yun.

I estimate I'll stay for two days.

Xu Jianghe went back after lunch.

The next day, Xiong Yan came to the village.

"You just got married, shouldn't you and Lu Zhenyu go on a honeymoon or something?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised to see Xiong Yan, but upon reflection, he wasn't so surprised after all.

After all, both Liu Feifei and Betty were there to attend her wedding.

There were so many guests yesterday that we couldn't take care of everyone.

We should at least take care of them now, since they've come all this way.

"Let's talk about it after he's calmed down," Xiong Yan said. "His family's business in Shuzhou is now all under his control."

"Oh?"

Xu Yue was surprised, but he nodded.

They're grooming him to be their successor.

The Lu family's business is mainly in Shuzhou.

Where is Sister Ruoxi?

Xiong Yan asked, explaining that she had come here to find Zhang Ruoxi.

"Why are you looking for her over at the lab?" Xu Yue asked. "Are you short one for mahjong?"

"Can't we just chat?" Xiong Yan said, pouting. "I'm going to find her."

Xu Yue smiled and then went to school.

There are other people waiting over there.

He was going to craft magical artifacts for those third-realm experts in the Special Administration Bureau.

"The leader is here too!"

Xu Yue was surprised to see Jing Guohua again.

Because of the crafting of magical artifacts, jade talismans naturally become scarce.

Jing Guohua was naturally aware of this.

This visit was clearly not about the jade talisman.

"I heard you exchanged quite a few magic weapon crafting methods with Longhu Mountain?" Jing Guohua said with a smile. "The Special Administration Bureau also has some. Director Yan asked me to send them to you and ask if you've gained anything."

"There have definitely been some gains," Xu Yue said, "but whether you can use them, I don't know."

As he spoke, Xu Yue explained to Jing Guohua the Three Pure Ones Bell and the Dharma Seal he had crafted.

"Forget about the Three Pure Bells," Jing Guohua said, glancing at them. "It's like killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own!"

"Can I wear earplugs?"

Xu Yue offered a suggestion, but it earned him a glare from Jing Guohua.

"The Dharma seal seems quite good," Jing Guohua said. "Can we see how it works?"

Xu Yue nodded, then found a spot and directly used it to smash a large pit.

"Its power is astonishing!" Jing Guohua said. "It feels like it could destroy a tank. Make me one. It feels like it would catch even a fourth-level expert off guard."

"It's good that you don't use it to smash tanks," Xu Yue said. "However, it would be very difficult to smash a fourth-level cultivator. Once you reach the fourth level, your mental strength undergoes a sharp change, making it very difficult to launch a sneak attack."

"I was just saying that."

Jing Guohua smiled and shook his head.

He never intended to use a magical artifact to directly confront the Four Realms.

However, among the three realms, it absolutely has the advantage.

Although the time was short, Xu Yue's magical artifact has recently made a lot of contributions.

"What about the other magical artifacts?" Jing Guohua asked. "If you find anything, please take care of your brother! If it weren't for your millstone a few days ago, I don't think I would have made it back."

The difference in combat power between having magical artifacts and not having them is significant.

"Then wouldn't I be doing you a favor by saving your life?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "As for the other magical artifacts? I haven't been studying them for more than a few days."

"I'm sure you'll be interested in what I brought this time."

Jing Guohua said to Xu Yue with a smile.

However, Xu Yue didn't take it to heart.

He crafted a magic seal for Jing Guohua and then left in a hurry.

Xu Yue then picked up the method for refining magical artifacts that he had brought and began to study it.

Surprisingly, there were things that interested him.

The method of forging flying swords.

However, the refining process is quite difficult.

This involves runes, spiritual refinement, and the nurturing of qi and blood.

This needs to be studied more carefully.

"You actually managed to get your hands on the method for forging flying swords?"

Zhang Ruoxi was somewhat surprised when Xu Yue mentioned it.

"Jing Guohua sent them," Xu Yue said. "The Special Administration Bureau has probably tasted success with them. However, flying swords are not so easy to forge, and martial arts cultivators and spiritual cultivators may not be able to use them."

"Oh?"

Zhang Ruoxi was somewhat surprised. If martial arts practitioners and spiritual practitioners cannot use it, then can Qi cultivators use it?

"Won't we need sword cultivators?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Can't we use them either?"

"Who knows?" Xu Yue said. "I don't even have a clue yet."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Farmers may have methods for refining weapons, but they are probably not very professional, or rather, they haven't studied them in depth.

After all, the peasant school is not the Mohist school.

“Don’t put the cart before the horse,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “You inherited the agricultural tradition, not the Mohist tradition.”

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

He has indeed been neglecting his duties lately.

"Xiong Yan came to see you today, didn't you go out to play?" Xu Yue said. "I only play occasionally, and it's fine if Mom and the others take care of me."

"Didn't we play all day yesterday?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "The child is still young, how can you just leave him alone? He'll be fine when he's older. Xiong Yan took the two of them into the mountains."

"They've gone into the mountains?" Xu Yue asked in surprise. "It's not like they've never been into the mountains before. What's so interesting about it?"

“The Hundred Birds Forest,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It’s becoming increasingly famous online. Their visit to the mountains will probably make it even more famous.” The number of tourists in the scenic area and Taoyuan Village was significantly higher than during the hotter weather.

However, the peak tourist season is in March each year.

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Taoyuan Village is known for its peach blossoms.

"Did Xiong Yan drag the two of them into filming a video?"

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked.

Xiong Yan is a big internet celebrity, but compared to Liu Feifei and Betty, her popularity is far inferior.

"I don't know about that," Zhang Ruoxi said. "But if they're having fun, they'll probably post it themselves."

Previously, both Liu Feifei and Betty had posted pictures of the scenic area and Taoyuan Village.

Xu Yue didn't pay much attention to it.

The scenic area and Taoyuan Village are very popular now. Their post is just icing on the cake, and the hype will fade after a while.

"Ok?"

Xu Yue suddenly looked surprised.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Zhang Ruoxi asked in confusion.

“Fourth Grandfather has arrived, but he's hesitating at the door,” Xu Yue said. “I'll go down and ask him.”

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

She didn't have Xu Yue's strong perception, but after Xu Yue's reminder, she also sensed that there was someone at the gate.

She just couldn't tell who it was.

"Fourth Grandfather, give me a shout when you arrive! Come in quickly!"

Xu Yue greeted Xu Chengmin with a smile.

"I'm not going in," Xu Chengmin said. "I need to talk to you about something."

"What is it? Please tell me."

Seeing that Xu Chengmin seemed somewhat reluctant to speak, Xu Yue became curious.

He didn't act like this when we pleaded for those families back then.

"I'd like to borrow some money from you," Xu Chengmin said. "Xiao Hao just graduated from university, but he got lured abroad with a high-paying job."

Xu Yue was somewhat taken aback.

He naturally knew who Xiao Hao, whom Xu Chengmin was talking about, was.

Xu Hao is Xu Chengmin's grandson.

He was better than Xu Yuexiao in terms of academic performance, and his studies were also quite good.

It is also a major university.

The results of it?
She was tricked into going abroad after graduating from university and is now waiting for ransom.

That kid's pretty sharp.

“Your Uncle Jiang Hai already transferred 200,000 yuan, and now he wants more! Where do we have the money? Your Uncle Jiang Hai was even prepared to sell the house, but they're pressing us for it urgently,” Xu Chengmin said. “No matter what, we have to get him out of there first. If we delay, I'm afraid Xiao Hao will be in danger.”

"How much do you want?" Xu Yue asked directly. "Give me an account number, and I'll have someone transfer the money to you."

"Five hundred thousand will do," Xu Chengmin said. "I'll pay you back once your Uncle Jiang Hai sells the house."

“No need,” Xu Yue said. “Let’s talk about it when we have the information. I’ll ask my friends later to see if there are any other solutions. We sent 200,000 yuan before, but they didn’t release the person. Now they want it back. It’s probably a bottomless pit.”

“We know that, but what can we do?” Xu Chengmin said. “Calling the police won’t help; they’re too far away to reach us.”

Xu Yue didn't say anything more, and then directly transferred the money to the account Xu Chengmin had given him.

Rescuing someone who is abroad is naturally difficult.

After receiving the money, Xu Chengmin left in a hurry.

Xu Yue also went upstairs.

"You've been tricked into going abroad?" Li Xiurong said. "I hope nothing bad happens to you. Your great-uncle only has one grandson. Losing the money is a small matter, but if..."

Xu Chengmin has more than one son, but he only has one grandson, Xu Hao.

"I'll call and ask."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yue decided to call Jing Guohua.

If we can save them, we will.

He had no other options, but Jing Guohua must have some connections.

What might be an insurmountable obstacle for them could be as simple as a phone call for Jing Guohua and his associates.

Upon hearing this, Jing Guohua didn't rule it out completely, but simply said he would call and ask.

Ask?

That's enough.

"How about it?"

Li Xiurong looked at Xu Yue and asked.

"It's not that fast," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "Let's wait a couple of days and see."

Two days later, Xu Chengmin came to find Xu Yue and said he wanted to return the money to him.

"No?"

Xu Yue asked doubtfully.

“Your Uncle Jiang Hai said that we made money too quickly last time, so the other party thought my family was rich, and therefore asked for another 500,000,” Xu Chengmin said. “This time, your Uncle Jiang Hai planned to delay before transferring the money, so that they would feel that they had squeezed my family dry. But today, Xiao Hao called and said that he had been rescued. So, naturally, we don’t need to transfer the money.”

"They've been rescued?" Xu Yue was taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's good."

Was it good luck, or was it thanks to Jing Guohua?

Xu Yue didn't know.

However, he felt the latter was more likely.

"Xiao Yue, did you look for someone?"

Xu Cheng and Xu Yue looked at each other, as if they had seen something, and then asked.

"I just called a friend to ask," Xu Yue said, waving his hand. "It shouldn't be a big deal."

Xu Chengmin nodded without saying anything.

Does it not matter much?
not necessarily.

They actually knew about it.

Of those who were tricked into going there, some may return, but very few do.

They didn't really have much hope, they just had no other choice.

If the other party wants money, then you have no choice but to give them money.

They've given it to them, but they're unsure if it will come back.

But this time, before the money was even handed over, the entire gang was reportedly busted.

Where did that luck come from?

The other places weren't raided, but the place where Xu Hao was tricked was raided.
Moreover, while others may not know how powerful Xu Yue's connections are now, Xu Chengmin certainly does.

Xu Yue has connections not only in the city, but also in the military and special departments.

However, regardless of whether it was Xu Yue's doing or not, since he took it to heart, we should remember that favor.

"Now that Xiao Hao is back, could you arrange a job for him?" Xu Chengmin said. "Before, we wanted him to work at your farm, but he was too proud and insisted on going abroad. Now that he's back, he should have settled down."

“If he’s willing, whether it’s a farm, an agricultural trading company, or an environmental protection company,” Xu Yue nodded and said, “he can work wherever he wants. Going to that pharmaceutical company shouldn’t be a problem either.”

Are you arrogant and haughty?
perhaps.

Xu Jianghai moved to the city a long time ago and is considered one of the more successful people in Taoyuan Village.

Xu Hao also grew up in the city, and he felt superior to Xu Yue and others.

Even though he was a few years younger than Xu Yue, he probably wouldn't be able to bring himself to work under Xu Yue.

Even though Xu Yue's achievements were beyond his reach.

"Thank you then!"

Xu Chengmin quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Too polite."

Xu Yue waved his hand, saying that Xu Chengmin had given him tremendous support when he returned to his hometown to start a business.

He would naturally not refuse to do anything that was within his ability to reciprocate kindness.

Xu Chengmin is gone.

Xu Yue shook his head and casually mentioned it to Zhang Ruoxi when he got back.

“Fourth Grandfather is a smart man,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “When he asks you for money, it may not just be for the purpose of borrowing money.”

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yue immediately understood.

They not only borrowed money, but also leveraged influence!

He figured that Xu Yue, who knew about this, wouldn't stand idly by.

“If he had spoken up, I wouldn’t have refused,” Xu Yue said, shaking his head. “But he didn’t speak up directly.”
