Chapter 475 The Excited Villagers
Leaving aside Gao Yang's matter for now, the production plan for the "Strengthening Body Pills" officially began after Chu Mingzhou returned.

Due to a shortage of raw materials, the first batch of pills was very limited. They were only intended for use by a select group of researchers working on cutting-edge technologies.

This was a decision made unanimously by the top leadership.

China's most important task at present is to enhance its comprehensive national strength, among which advanced weaponry is of paramount importance.

To enable researchers working amidst the sandstorms of Northwest China to better serve the country, these health-boosting pills are primarily intended for them.

Chu Mingzhou was aware of this as well.

Therefore, he and Su Nuannuan added a lot of spiritual spring water to this batch of pills. The raw materials for the body-strengthening pills all came from the spiritual spring space.

The two of them could guarantee that this batch of pills was definitely the most effective one.

The production of health-strengthening pills cannot stop here.

The country has a huge demand, but there is a shortage of raw materials. The ginseng cultivation plan of the Third Pharmaceutical Factory in North China has also been officially put on the agenda.

When the news spread, several villages under Yuanhua County received it.

Hongqi Village is no exception!
Zhou Yongsheng, the current head of Hongqi Village, was so excited that his face turned red with excitement.

A few days ago, Su Jianjun came to see him and said that the pharmaceutical factory wanted to cultivate ginseng on the mountain. He still didn't quite understand the benefits.

After Su Jianjun explained in detail the benefits of growing ginseng in the village, Zhou Yongsheng was extremely excited.

He had complete faith in Su Jianjun's sources.

Su Jianjun is a completely different person now. Not to mention the other children outside, just the fact that Su Sanquan and Su Nuannuan work in Yuanhua County is enough to make him act like he owns the place.

That day, Zhou Yongsheng gathered the villagers in the threshing ground and explained the benefits of ginseng cultivation to them.

Although the villagers are simple and frugal, they are driven by limited resources and the desire for a better life. Even the most slow-witted among them will find a way to make things work.

After Zhou Yongsheng's analysis, everyone understood the benefits of growing ginseng in the village.

Instantly, everyone became excited.

"If what the brigade leader said is true, my child might even be able to become a worker!"

"Who says otherwise! We don't know anything, except farming. This kind of ginseng is no different from farming."

"It sounds good, but I don't know if it's really true?"

“It’s definitely authentic! I heard from Uncle Yongsheng that this news was brought back by Uncle Jianjun. Isn’t his youngest son-in-law a researcher at the pharmaceutical factory? Maybe it’s him who brought the news.”

……

The group discussed it enthusiastically and showed a positive attitude towards ginseng cultivation.

Zhou Yongsheng was also very pleased to see this.

He struck the gong twice, and only began to speak after the scene quieted down.

“I’ve already explained the situation. In order to leave a good impression on the leaders of the pharmaceutical factory, everyone has been busy these past few days clearing away the stones and weeds on the road from the village to the county town.”

It was just about clearing away stones and weeds, and everyone accepted it well.

A tall, robust woman was the first to respond.

"No problem, Captain! It's nothing, I'll have my brother come and help tomorrow."

The woman speaking had five strong and healthy brothers who treated their only younger sister very well. Even after marrying into Hongqi Village, no one dared to bully her.

Subsequently, other villagers in Hongqi Village echoed his sentiments.

Zhou Yongsheng nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that no one objected, he struck the gong again and continued speaking. "There's one more thing. The leaders of the pharmaceutical factory will be coming down to inspect the back mountain soon. To make it easier for them to check the soil quality, please help each other tidy up some suitable areas for ginseng cultivation in the next few days. Remember, don't go too deep into the mountains, and at least three people should go together."

Although the troops had helped clear the back mountain of Hongqi Village last time, Zhou Yongsheng was still worried that wild animals might appear there.

However, in order to ensure a prosperous future for Hongqi Village, the task of clearing the back hill still needs to be done.

When people heard about this, their first reaction was fear.

However, the fear in everyone's hearts subsided when they thought that the back mountain had just been cleared.

After discussion, people ultimately agreed to Zhou Yongsheng's proposal.

We've been to the back mountain before. Besides, this time there are more people, so the danger level is much lower. Most importantly, they're not going deep into the mountains.

It's just clearing out the area near the village; there's no real danger. If we're lucky, we might even catch some pheasants or rabbits.

In the past few years, everyone has reaped a lot of benefits.

After assigning tasks, Zhou Yongsheng began to wait for news from the pharmaceutical factory.

The villagers quickly paved the path leading to the county town. Some potholes were filled in with hard soil.

The area behind the mountain, near the village, suitable for ginseng cultivation, was also cleared away. Many dead branches and weeds were cleaned up by the villagers.

Everyone waited with great excitement for news from the pharmaceutical company.

Soon, news spread that the pharmaceutical factory planned to cultivate ginseng in villages with mountains. Suitable villages could register at the commune.

Zhou Yongsheng was also waiting for this exciting news.

Wang Mazi was the first person to know this news.

Upon learning this, he excitedly stormed into Zhou Yongsheng's house and shouted.

"Captain! Captain! News has come! We've received word from the pharmaceutical factory!"

Zhou Yongsheng suppressed his excitement and asked.

“Pockmarked guy, take a break and tell me properly.”

Wang Mazi took a sip of the sweet water that Zhou Yongsheng's wife handed him before speaking.

"The pharmaceutical factory has informed the commune that they want to cultivate ginseng in villages with hills behind them. Anyone who wants to join can register at the commune now. Once the pharmaceutical factory's representatives come to inspect the land and confirm its suitability, we can officially begin."

Zhou Yongsheng's mouth was practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin. He patted Wang Mazi hard and said...

“Great. Ma Zi, call your uncles and elders, let’s go to the commune now.”

That's how it is in the countryside. Every time I go to the commune, I bring along a few eloquent people.

If a verbal battle breaks out, they can step in and fight back.

Over time, this behavior became a habit. Every time the commune held a meeting, a large number of people would gather.

The group arrived at the commune in a grand procession.

Zhou Yongsheng carefully filled out the application form and submitted it before his mood calmed down.

Once outside the commune, he spoke to the people who had followed him.

“You guys go back to the village first. Tell the villagers about this good news. Remember, these next few days, make sure the young men in the village keep a close eye on things and don’t mess up any important matters in the village. Ma Zi, this matter is in your hands. Keep a close eye on the young men in the village.”

Wang Mazi nodded vigorously.

He knows this stuff inside and out!
"Alright, you guys go back first. I need to go find your Uncle Jianjun and ask him if there's anything I need to be careful about."
