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

Chapter 381 What Does Foreign Crimes Have to Do with China?

Why doesn't Xu Chengmin speak?
Was it that he didn't know if Xu Yue could do it, or that he didn't know if Xu Yue would help?
Perhaps he was afraid that if he spoke up, Xu Yue would feel that he was asking a difficult question.

Is he embarrassed?
Of course, this is just Zhang Ruoxi's guess.

Perhaps they simply wanted to borrow money.

Xu Yue didn't mind.

However, he still made a phone call to Jing Guohua.

He also wanted to figure out whether this was due to luck or Jing Guohua's efforts.

If someone helps you, you can't be unaware of it.

And the truth is indeed related to Jing Guohua.

Where did this good luck come from?

Xu Yue didn't stand on ceremony with him.

That's not necessary.

Two days later, Xu Hao returned, along with Xu Jianghai and his wife.

Xu Yue hadn't seen his family for a long time.

Although they come back to celebrate the Spring Festival from time to time, Xu Yue has never actually seen them.

Especially Xu Hao.

He had grown up, but he was now rather thin, with bruises on his face, and his whole energy seemed to have been depleted.

I imagine they suffered a lot after being tricked into going abroad.

Physically, it might still be a minor issue.

The key is psychological.

Xu Yue was somewhat unable to help with this matter.

"I only made a phone call. Xiao Hao's return may not necessarily be due to my friend's efforts," Xu Yue said, waving his hand. "There's no need for thanks. It's good that he's back."

"It's all in the past now, we have to move on." Xu Yue looked at Xu Hao and said, "Any thoughts?"

"I want to go to the Agricultural Technology College."

Xu Hao looked up at Xu Yue and spoke, his tone very firm.

"Ok?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised and glanced at Xu Chengmin.

"Is that okay?"

Xu Hao asked somewhat nervously, while Xu Chengmin hesitated to speak.

"Sure, of course!" Xu Yue nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't mention this before, and I thought you were reluctant to enroll again after just graduating from school."

Is there any resistance?

That depends on the school.

Who didn't feel like they had the sky's the limit when they first graduated?

That guy was full of heroic spirit, just like someone who had just broken free from constraints and was ready to unleash his full potential.

However, reality slapped Xu Hao in the face.

And the slaps were exceptionally hard.

This trip abroad almost cost me my life.

“Go and study hard,” Xu Yue said. “If you learn something, you’ll have a good future after graduation, whether you start your own business or work on a farm. Even if something like this happens again, you can come back on your own.”

Xu Chengmin may not be fully aware of the unique nature of the Agricultural Science and Technology College, but he has some guesses about it.

That school has military personnel stationed there.

The key point is that Wang Haolin and his group of friends have all gotten into the school.

Xu Chengmin knew Wang Haolin and the others, and he knew their identities.

They've all enrolled, isn't that enough?

It's highly likely that Xu Hao's desire to enroll in the Agricultural Science and Technology College was suggested by Xu Chengmin.

Xu Yue didn't care about this.

"Are you planning to rest for a couple of days, or when do you plan to go?" Xu Yue asked. "Just let me know when the time comes."

"Wait, let's wait a couple of days."

Xu Hao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

He instinctively reached out to touch the bruises on his face, but then stopped himself.

Is this about saving face?
“Okay,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll make arrangements with the school. You can go directly there, or come find me and I’ll take you there. It’s no problem.”

"Thank you!"

Xu Hao expressed his gratitude, and Xu Chengmin and his son and daughter-in-law also quickly thanked him.

Xu Chengmin and his family have left.

Xu Yue also went about his own business.

"Dad, why are you sending Xiaohao to that school?" Xu Jianghai asked疑惑地. "Wasn't that school newly built? I heard it's for training people for Taoyuan Farm. Xiaohao can go straight to work on the farm, why bother going to school?"

Xu Jianghe finally managed to support his son through university.

Well, now I'm a college student again.

Moreover, to use popular terms, that university is probably not even as good as those so-called diploma mills.

This isn't just Xu Jianghai's view; many people in Gong'an City share this perspective.

After all, this university doesn't have a very impressive reputation.

It lacks historical depth, let alone the quality of its teaching staff.

It looks somewhat like a technical school.

The key profession is still farming.

This is something that many locals look down on.

The school hasn't done any publicity, so very few people know how amazing it is.

"What do you know?" Xu Chengmin said. "You think that school is just average? Not as good as Xiao Hao's previous university?"

“Otherwise?” Xu Jianghai said. “Xiao Hao’s school, although it can’t be called a 985, is still a 211! That Agricultural Science and Technology College looks more like a technical school.”

"A technical school?" Xu Chengmin said. "Can a technical school have military personnel stationed there? Can a technical school have academicians of agricultural science stationed there permanently? Can a technical school attract high-ranking officials from above?"

"Very powerful?"

Xu Jianghai was somewhat surprised.

Never heard of it.

The university in their city can barely be considered a third-tier university; it used to be just a vocational college.

Is this newly established school already that amazing?

“The students at that school now are either graduate students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences or undergraduates from prestigious universities,” Xu Chengmin said. “I’ve heard there are even students from Peking University. You know the Yuelai Hotel, right? You’ve heard of the Rongzhou Group, right? The boss’s son is repeating his studies at that school this year. The son of the city’s top official is also at that school. Are they idiots?”

Xu Jianghai fell silent.

Compared to them, Xu Hao undoubtedly needs to study more.

If the wealthy and powerful still have to go back to school to repeat their studies, then that school must be extraordinary.

"What do they teach at school?"

This is what Xu Hao's mother asked.

She also voiced the questions that Xu Jianghai and the others had.

Xu Chengmin shook his head.

"You'll find out when you get there."

Xu Hao spoke up.

He didn't actually want to go to any school, but his grandfather had asked, and he couldn't refuse.

Moreover, Xu Yue had helped his family a great deal this time, even saving his life. So, he couldn't really say anything if Xu Yue went to his school and worked for him.

Besides, it doesn't matter where you work.

But now it seems that I actually benefited.

“Go there and learn well,” Xu Chengmin said. “If you can learn even a fraction of Xiao Yue’s skills, you will benefit immensely.”

Xu Chengmin had heard a little about what the school specifically taught and could guess a little about it; it was nothing more than Xu Yue's farming methods.

That's a method that allows rice to be grown in the desert.

Once you learn it, you'll never have to worry about not having food to eat.

Many things at school need to be kept secret, but how can there be no news leaking out?
Moreover, Xu Chengmin is also the Party Secretary of Taoyuan Village.

Xu Hao went to the academy by himself and did not bother Xu Yue.

However, Xu Yue still told Wang Haolin and the others to take care of them.

Compared to those people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xu Hao was undoubtedly Xu Yue's true protégé.

College students like Xu Hao are clearly more worthy of being nurtured than Xu Wei and his peers.

Of course, this is from the perspective of knowledge; as for ability, that's a different story.

Xu Wei may not be highly educated, but he manages such a large desert farm in an orderly manner, which shows how capable he is.

Sometimes, one's ability cannot be measured by cultural background.

Tian Yizhi also deserves credit for this.

He has a very accurate eye for people.

"gone?"

Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi and asked casually. "Popular celebrities naturally have very full schedules," Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "They naturally left. They said they came to lose weight, because if they stayed any longer they would gain weight."

"What?"

Xu Yue was a little surprised.

Want to lose weight at Taoyuan Village?

What kind of thinking is this? Do you think my Peach Blossom Village would mistreat you, or that the food in Peach Blossom Village isn't good?

“Once you get used to the food from Peach Blossom Village, you naturally lose your appetite for other things, so losing weight becomes a natural progression,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Is that hard to understand?”

"Don't you women care about your health at all in your pursuit of weight loss?"

Xu Yue shook his head, indicating that he could not understand.

Body shape is important, but health is even more important.

Besides, eating a lot doesn't necessarily mean you'll gain weight.

Zhang Ruoxi eats a lot per ton, but I haven't seen her grow much.
Especially during the postpartum period.

Of course, he had gained some weight, but Xu Yue thought he looked better.

Women need to have some curves to look good; if they're too skinny and all skin and bones, what's so attractive about them?

"How could a good nutritional balance affect health?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "A woman may be physically healthy if her figure changes, but what about her mental health?"

Xu Yue smiled, deciding not to argue anymore.

Xu Yue was able to maintain a proper balance in his relationship with Zhang Ruoxi.

A few days later, Ye Zhiguo arrived.

Xu Yue had already received news of his arrival before he came.

The Hongmen has kept its promise.

Xu Yue sold it to them at a "low price," and they actually caused trouble for those powerful figures.

Of course, they were also secretly hunting down their experts.

I'm here to settle the accounts for the ginseng.

Xu Yue had already prepared those ginseng roots in advance.

"Master Ye, please check if this is correct!"

Xu Yue looked at Ye Zhiguo and said.

"Correct!"

Ye Zhiguo's eyes widened after just one glance.

He could easily produce dozens of century-old ginseng roots.

The ginseng looked quite good.

And it's fresh?
Could he have grown them himself?

Probably.

"Master Ye, how about you take a look at this?"

Xu Yue smiled and handed him a porcelain bottle.

Ye Zhiguo was somewhat puzzled, but he still took the porcelain bottle.

Upon opening, a rich medicinal aroma wafts out.

He felt that his blood and energy had increased slightly.

This is not an illusion!
This elixir.
Ye Zhiguo looked at Xu Yue with a somewhat bewildered expression, as if asking him a question.

What is this elixir?
what do you mean?
"Qi and Blood Pill, a pill that can increase qi and blood," Xu Yue said. "It should be quite effective for martial arts practitioners. At least for those below the fourth realm, the effect is quite good."

"Can I try it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiguo immediately became very interested.

He has some medical knowledge; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to tell the quality of those ginsengs at a glance.

But some things still need to be tried out for yourself.

He wasn't worried about eating anything that might cause problems.

Xu Yue wouldn't go so far as to poison him or anything like that.

"nature!"

Xu Yue smiled and gestured for him to do as he pleased.

The Qi and Blood Pill had little effect on Xu Yue.

This will also be a key product for pharmaceutical companies.

However, they were mostly bought by the military and the Special Administration.

Of course, they also do not prohibit Xu Yue from ordering takeout.

After all, they also own shares.

If you can only make money selling to yourself, you naturally have to make money selling to outsiders.

What martial arts practitioners are there in China?

Rather than selling it to them, it's better to sell it to overseas Hongmen (Triads).

Xia uses force to break the ban.

Abroad, breaking the law is none of their business.

Their chaos might actually be a good thing for the country.

Of course, Qi Xue Dan is just one of the products.

There are still many who benefit from cultivation.

Unfortunately, none of it worked for Xu Yue.

Ye Zhiguo then poured out a pill, swallowed it directly, and immediately felt a medicinal effect spreading throughout his body, and his internal energy and blood increased, turning into a trace of internal force.

Although it was only a trace, it startled Ye Zhiguo.

That slight increase in internal strength isn't so bad; the key is the increase in qi and blood.

Is youth the strongest weapon?
Isn't it just because of the depletion of qi and blood as people get older?

If one has this elixir, it will not only help with cultivation, but also maintain one's own depleted qi and blood, or at least delay the depletion of qi and blood.

This is still a great benefit for these old guys.

"Mr. Xu, how much is this Qi and Blood Pill worth?"

Ye Zhiguo calmed himself down and asked.

As people age and their bodies weaken, their vital energy and blood deplete, their internal strength grows in complacency, and they find no hope in the natural world.

This ability to increase qi and blood and delay their depletion undoubtedly increases the probability of these martial arts cultivators at the third realm breaking through to the fourth realm.

Of course, this elixir has many other benefits, which he cannot fully comprehend in a short time.

However, it is certain that this elixir is of great value.

"The Qi and Blood Pill uses century-old ginseng as its main ingredient," Xu Yue said. "It also has a certain effect on restoring internal energy. In terms of value, one century-old ginseng can be exchanged for five pills."

"What if we buy it with money?"

Ye Zhiguo then asked.

Measured by ginseng?
The key point is that this ginseng isn't very valuable to you, but it's a different story outside.

"Special supply for the military, not for sale to the public for the time being."

Xu Yue shook his head.

You're still showing off military-supplied supplies?
Ye Zhiguo naturally knew what Xu Yue wanted to do; he simply wanted to use this thing to calculate the value of ginseng.

Not enough ginseng?

"temporary?"

Ye Zhiguo, however, grasped the key point of Xu Yue's words.

"The current production volume is still unknown," Xu Yue said. "We need to prioritize fulfilling the military's procurement needs. Only any surplus will be sold to the public. However, the price will not be low."

How could something like this be cheap?

However, my Hongmen is still considered wealthy.

If we had this Qi and Blood Pill, we could cultivate a large number of young experts.

There are many experts, yet they still can't make money.

"Mr. Xu, there's another matter I'd like to ask you. Please forgive my abruptness," Ye Zhiguo said. "Did you obtain the protective jade amulet from the Special Administration Bureau in China?"

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Xu Yue was not surprised at all when news of the protective jade talisman spread.

Don't underestimate those forces, both domestic and foreign.

Moreover, Xu Yue didn't try to hide it at all.

Even if we don't say that those things are rampant now, they will definitely attract the attention of various forces, and it's only a matter of time before they find out.

The Hongmen were just the first to come knocking.

"Could I ask for a few?" Ye Zhiguo quickly asked. "Name your terms."

“I can give you one of the third-realm cultivators.”

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then said.

That jade talisman is a life-saving artifact, so its value is naturally different.

Although he gave away a lot, it doesn't mean he was unaware of their value.
