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

Chapter 192 How much does it cost to rent an acre of desert?

At daybreak, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi got up.

However, the two did not rush to pick vegetables, but instead enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the balcony.

"Good!"

Zhang Ruoxi said two words, and it was unclear whether she was saying that the scenery was nice or that it would be nice to move in.

Compared to the bamboo house, the view here is wider.

The room is too small, and sometimes it feels depressing instead of cozy.

Anyway, Xu Yue likes this side better.

After tidying up, Zhang Ruoxi went to pick vegetables.

Xu Yue also followed.

When I came back for breakfast, Old Xu came again. Xu Yue’s family has become accustomed to this.

Is it a loss?

In fact, it’s not a loss at all.

There are so many people like Mr. Xu who want to invite him to dinner but never get the chance.

What's more, he shared all the medical books he had with Xu Chengyang.

Xu Chengyang once invited him to live with him, but he refused.

Even though the first floor where Xu Chengyang lives is very spacious.

"what?"

Xu Yue was a little surprised because he saw Dahuang.

"Da Huang?" Zhang Ruoxi laughed. "How rare! It didn't run into the mountains. Could it be because you fiercely told it yesterday that you wouldn't let it come back if it ran into the mountains again?"

"Can it understand?"

Xu Yue smiled and shook his head, but Da Huang came forward to greet it with his tail wagging and a flattering look on his face.

This guy can't really understand, right?

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua are also smart, but they are obviously inferior to Da Huang.

Of course, maybe in the future it will be comparable to the current rhubarb.

But will Dahuang just stand still?

"That's what a qualified guard dog is! Go, call Uncle San to come over for dinner!"

Xu Yue patted Dahuang's head.

Dahuang then went towards the bamboo house.

Xu Jianghe did not live with Xu Yue and his family, but he did not fire alone either.

He wanted to, but he couldn't get past Xu Chengyang and Xu Jiangming.

Uncle San will be here soon.

Unlike Xu Yue and others, he gets up early every day to practice martial arts instead of picking vegetables.

In fact, it’s all cultivation.

It’s just that the methods of practice are different.

After dinner, Xu Yue prepared to go see his laboratory.

The construction team came today to prepare to start work.

Zhang Ruoxi was preparing to pull weeds in the field.

However, before they left, a car arrived.

An acquaintance came down: Wang Yun.

Xu Yue couldn't help but look at Xu Jianghe, but saw that he looked calm.

Did you know she was coming?

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi looked at each other and felt that something was wrong between them!

When Wang Yun came, Li Xiurong was extremely happy and welcomed her in warmly.

Xu Chengyang didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was quite happy.

"You do not know?"

Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi and asked.

Zhang Ruoxi and Wang Yun are still in contact.

Zhang Ruoxi even used her connections to get someone to take care of Wang Yun.

Zhang Ruoxi shook her head.

never mind!

Xu Yue didn't want to gossip anymore.

That's not necessary.

Wang Yunlai must have come for Xu Jianghe.

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi would not stay to be the third wheel.

Zhang Ruoxi chatted with Wang Yun for a few words, and then went to pull weeds in the field.

Xu Yue went to see the construction team start work.

Xu Chengyang continued to discuss medical skills with Old Xu, Xu Jiangming went to see his earthworms, and Li Xiurong also found an opportunity to leave.

I guess he went to the field to pull weeds because Zhang Ruoxi was there.

The space was left for Xu Jianghe and the other person.

Not long after Xu Yue went to the construction site, he was called back by Tian Yizi.

"Are you planning to take my acre of ginseng?"

Xu Yue came back and went straight to the bamboo house.

At this time, Tian Yizi and Huang Liang were staring at the more than one acre of ginseng in a daze.

"Boss Shen asked last night if your medicinal wine could be mass-produced," Huang Liang said with a smile. "He said that if too much good ginseng were to flow into the market, it wouldn't sell for a good price, so it would be better to use it to make wine."

"Don't even think about this ginseng." Xu Yue said, "It's military stuff. Aren't you that stubborn?"

"From the military?"

Huang Liang was surprised and looked at Tian Yizi, but saw that he had a confused look on his face. It seemed that he didn't know either.

They are military stuff, so you definitely can't plan to take them.

I didn't expect that my boss actually cooperated with the military.

"Is it possible to expand the planting?" Huang Liang asked. "The price we pay the military must be very low, right? If we use it to make wine, the profit should be even higher."

It's not just because the other party is the military, but because the quantity is too large.

I guess no one except the country can eat so much.

"How much can a bottle cost?" Xu Yue asked.

Can it be expanded?

Of course it can.

It seems that it is not impossible to make medicinal wine and go for the high-end route.

Anyway, he wanted to grow medicinal herbs, and the herbs for making wine were ready-made, so there was naturally no problem.

"How many kilograms of medicine can be soaked in a prescription without losing its effectiveness?" Huang Liang asked, "and how many kilograms can it soak in before losing its effectiveness?"

"I don't know about that. A thousand pounds of it shouldn't reduce the efficacy of the medicine." Xu Yue said, "This all requires acting."

"This wine should be able to sell for thousands or even tens of thousands." Huang Liang was silent for a moment and said, "If we do some marketing, it might be even higher."

There are many expensive wines, but only a few can compare with this medicinal wine.

Or even none at all.

However, the price of wine is sometimes not determined by its quality.

Other things are pretty much the same.

Are Moutai and Wuliangye definitely better than cheap liquor?
not necessarily.

It is unknown how much the prices of Moutai and Wuliangye brands have increased.

The same wine, with that brand attached, will definitely cost much more.

"Let's talk about it next year!" Xu Yue said, "It will take a long time for these ginseng to achieve that kind of medicinal effect. Let's wait and see after this batch of ginseng comes out."

"Boss, how about we try making our own wine?" Tian Yizi said, "We've rented over a thousand acres of paddy fields. If your paddy fields produce as much as we did this year, that would be over a million kilograms. We could definitely use some of that for making wine."

"We can try this." Xu Yue nodded and said, "There shouldn't be many paddy fields left in the village, right?"

"There aren't many fields left." Tian Yizi nodded and said, "Do you want to rent them all?"

"Then rent them all." Xu Yue nodded and said, "There's no point in keeping them."

"Are those houses also being rented?" Tian Yizi asked.

Which ones?
Huang Liang knew which ones they were.

This question is a bit stupid.

"What do you think?" Xu Yue said, "Take a count of the hilltops in the village. If possible, rent them all out."

Tian Yizi smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Those four families had offended Xu Yue badly.

It’s not because Xu Yue had to pay ten times the price to rent the land, nor is it because Xu Yue’s salary for everyone increased by several hundred yuan.

It was all because one family instigated the other three to go to Xu Yue's house and make trouble. If they had found Xu Yue privately, or even went to the village committee to make trouble, Xu Yue would not have reacted much.

And which ones?
Some time ago, he instigated the new village chief to cause trouble for Xu Yue.

He is really unrepentant.

"Are there any plans for those hills?" Tian Yizi asked.

Renting a hill is definitely useful.

And there are many choices to make.

For example, planting tea trees, fruit trees, raising chickens, raising rabbits, and planting flowers.
"First, do some statistics, and then make a plan," Xu Yue said. "Use all the land and hills in the village. Then see if you can leave Taoyuan Village next year."

"it is good!"

Tian Yizi nodded, then left with Huang Liang.

"Xiao Yue!"

Xu Yue glanced at the bamboo house. Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun were drinking tea under a parasol.

Three giant pandas were lying nearby.

Xu Yue was about to leave when Xu Jianghe called him over.

"Uncle San, what's the matter?"

Xu Yue really didn't want to be a light bulb.

"Are they here for the ginseng?" Xu Jianghe asked.

Xu Jianghe naturally knew Tian Yizi and the other one.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to stay there.

Xu Yue nodded.

"I'm afraid we can't keep the ginseng matter secret," Xu Jianghe said. "If it gets out, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

That’s tens of thousands of hundred-year-old ginseng!
Of course, the key is that someone can cultivate century-old ginseng.

This is the key.

Xu Yue nodded.

If Shen Jianjun could guess that he could grow ginseng that was comparable to hundred-year-old wild ginseng, how could others not guess it?
Besides, to know whether this is the case, we can just dig one out and take a look.

A hundred years is fine, but what about a thousand years?

What about ten thousand years?

"You can talk to Director Jing about this," Xu Jianghe said. "Letting them block the way ahead should save a lot of trouble."

"Ginseng cultivation is very common in the north, right?" Wang Yun asked doubtfully. "What's the problem?"

"What if these ginseng are wild ginseng that is a hundred years old?"

Xu Yue glanced at Xu Jianghe and said with a smile.

Xu Jianghe did not avoid Wang Yun when talking about this matter, and Xu Yue naturally would not do so either.

So what if I knew?

Is she still spreading it everywhere?

"Are you kidding?" Wang Yun said, "What are they?"

"In the future, there will be tens of thousands of them," Xu Yue said.

Wang Yun was stunned.

Tens of thousands?
At the current market price, wouldn’t that be tens of billions?

No way?
That is indeed a bit troublesome.

Not to mention stealing, I guess they even robbed.

But it will be in the future, what does this mean?
"You guys chat, I'll make a phone call."

Xu Yue said something and then went back, then called Jing Guohua.

He thought Xu Jianghe's suggestion was very good.

And he had an idea.

"Leader, are you interested in cooperating?"

"What cooperation?"

At lunch, with one more person present, the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.

Li Xiurong is very enthusiastic about Wang Yun.

I'm even happier to hear that he plans to stay here for a while.

From his words, it seemed that he already regarded Wang Yun as his sister-in-law.

"Did we discuss it?"

After dinner, Xu Jianghe found a chance to ask about Xu Yue.

"Almost done." Xu Yue said, "I still need Third Uncle's help on this matter."

"I?"

Xu Jianghe was a little confused, then looked at Wang Yun who was chatting with Zhang Ruoxi not far away.

"The military will send a team. You will be responsible for training, and I will provide food and lodging. They will be responsible for the village's security, mainly the one acre of ginseng and the laboratory I will soon be building."

Xu Yue smiled and said that this was a bit like using the tiger's skin to wave the banner.

But it's definitely mutually beneficial.

With the military at the forefront, Xu Yue would have fewer troubles, and might even have the feeling of having someone powerful to support him.

What about Jing Guohua?

There are definitely benefits.

With the training of Xu Jianghe, a master at the peak of the second realm, and the spiritual ingredients provided by Xu Yue, many masters can definitely be cultivated.

You can also take care of the ginseng and make those who covet it think twice.

"I'm training?" Xu Jianghe said, "I don't understand."

"Why don't you understand?" Xu Yue said, "It's not like our Xingyiquan can't be passed on to outsiders. Isn't it enough for you to teach them these things? Do you also want to teach them how to shoot? Hey, Uncle San, you said that the military has moved in. Can we play with guns?"

"I don't know." Xu Jianghe shook his head and said, "I've played it before, but I was a non-staff member after all. And I went to the military camp."

"Really?" Xu Yue said eagerly, "I've never played with a real thing in my life. I wonder if there's a chance."

"Xiao Yue, you might be branded as such by the military," Xu Jianghe said. "You might even lose some secrets."

"Do you think Jing Guohua and the others are fools?" Xu Yue said, "They have seen through the clues a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have come to us before."

Jing Guohua must be aware of some of Xu Yue's magical qualities.

Don't underestimate the power of the country.

The ginseng matter will be discovered sooner or later, and Xu Yue really doesn't have much confidence to deal with it.

Even if we exclude ginseng, the huge profits from planting and breeding will make him unable to cope with it once it is exposed.

He has very poor foundation.

His family background is too poor.

He and grandpa are masters of the third realm?
But a master of the third realm is nothing in modern society.

It would also be great to cooperate with the military and nip many troubles in the bud.

Even if it means giving up some interests.

"If we don't cooperate with the military, we won't be able to defend it." Xu Yue continued, "Cooperating with the country is undoubtedly the best option."

Xu Jianghe nodded.

The next day, Jing Guohua came.

"More than a hundred people?" Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua and said, "Leader, isn't that too many people? This is a company or two squadrons, right?"

It is definitely not an ordinary company that is coming.

"Your village is so big, how can we survive with so few people?" Jing Guohua said with a smile, "If it weren't for other factors, I would have applied for a brigade."

Xu Yue's mouth twitched. He suspected that Jing Guohua wanted him to mass-produce masters.

A brigade?
Why don't you send an armored division?
"Just look at the ginseng." Xu Yue said, "Forget it, a little over a hundred is a little over a hundred! But, sir, my family can't afford to feed so many people this year."

There's no need to bargain on this matter.

The more people there are, the greater the deterrent effect may be.

"The others?"

Jing Guohua nodded.

He naturally knew that Xu Yue's family only planted about ten acres of rice.

It will definitely work next year!

It is said that they are planning to expand the planting area to more than one thousand acres.

Supporting more than a hundred young men is easy.

"Everything else is fine," Xu Yue said. "I'll make arrangements with Tian Yizi. How about building the base next to my laboratory? There's still a lot of wasteland there."

"No problem." Jing Guohua said, "You can even build the laboratory inside the base."

Repair inside?
I'm stupid!
"Leader, if I rent the desert for one day, how much per acre would it cost?" Xu Yue suddenly asked.

"Rent a desert?" Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue in confusion and asked, "Why are you renting a desert?"
