All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

After leaving the municipal government, Wu Longjiang made a direct phone call to President Hua, reporting the situation to him, including the matter of using connections to help Zhou Yongcheng and his two classmates, without hiding anything.

Hua Zong didn't say anything about using connections, but he seemed somewhat angry about corruption.

"I was wondering why the economies of the cities below couldn't develop. It turns out they were playing a double-crossing game. Using artificial intelligence to investigate corruption is a good idea. Send me all the data, and I'll send an investigation team down to thoroughly investigate the situation in Wuling Province."

Wu Longjiang sent all the information that the Red Queen had given him to General Hua, and then returned to the research center.

The next day, Zhou Yongcheng packed some things and drove back to the village. This time, Lü Su did not go with him; he was just going back to check on how the road repairs were going.

My second uncle said that the road from the town to the village has been completely widened and the road surface is all paved with asphalt. In terms of cost, in addition to the money given by Zhou Yongcheng, the county and town allocated some money, and each family in the village also contributed some, with the most contributing one million and the least contributing one hundred thousand.

Arriving at the junction of the town's main road and the village road, Zhou Yongcheng saw that the road leading into the village was at least five or six meters wide and the surface was paved with asphalt.

Zhou Yongcheng was quite satisfied with the roads. When the car entered the village, he found that not only the main roads were paved with asphalt, but the roads leading to the houses were also paved with asphalt.

The car arrived at the village store and was stopped by someone.

"Brother Cheng, come down and let's talk."

A few young people from the village sat here drinking and chatting.

“They started drinking it first thing in the morning,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

"Relax a bit. I've been too busy lately and I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally."

Zhou Yongcheng took a few bottles of Maotai from the trunk and placed them on the table, saying, "To relax, you need to drink something good."

"Brother Cheng is so generous. He not only led us to make a fortune, but also gave us good wine to drink."

Zhou Yongcheng chatted with some of the villagers for a while, then drove up to the village.

"This is Maotai from the 1970s. I heard you can't buy this stuff even if you have money. Brothers, you're in for a treat. Uncle Guoxuan, get a couple of good snacks to go with this wine, otherwise it won't do justice to it."

"You little rascals, this is how you finish off the cured meat from my family's kitchen."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Despite what Zhou Guoxuan said, he still hurried off to prepare snacks for everyone to enjoy with their drinks.

Back in the village, only my aunt was tending the shop and fishpond, and my second uncle was helping someone repair a house. Even though the family was so wealthy, they still couldn't stay idle. This shows that for rural people, no matter how rich they are, they need to have work to do; they can't stay idle.

Zhou Yongming took the exam and went to the county. Due to Zhou Yongcheng's connections, Zhu Cheng arranged for him to work in the county government.

Since Zhu Cheng is so generous, we should at least go and thank him. Last time, when he went to the city, he wanted to visit him, but Zhu Cheng took Lü Su on a trip instead.

I strolled around the floating bridge over the fishpond. There weren't many people fishing, only a few. On hot days, there are more people fishing, sometimes dozens. Perhaps it's because fishing isn't good in winter, so there are fewer people.

I took a stroll around the village again. Most of the villagers were quite idle. They had already finished their tasks. The busiest thing in raising livestock is cutting grass, then chopping it up and making silage. It's essential to ensure that the livestock raised in winter have fodder to eat. Once these tasks are finished, everything else is just a minor matter.

That evening, my second uncle talked about the oranges in Huayang Village.

Huayang Village spent money to buy a lot of cow and sheep manure from Qingshui Village to use as fertilizer for the orange trees, and unexpectedly, the oranges that grew this year were exceptionally delicious.

After listening to his second uncle's words, Zhou Yongcheng finally understood why Li Youjun hadn't approached him about selling oranges last year or this year.

I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​buying cow and sheep manure from Qingshui Village to use as fertilizer for the orange trees.

I asked my second uncle and learned that Qingshui Village is not only famous for its cattle and sheep, but also for its delicious vegetables. People from other villages thought of buying cattle and sheep manure from Qingshui Village to grow vegetables.

When the people of Huayang Village found out, they also spent money to buy a large amount of manure to use as fertilizer for the orange trees, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Oranges are delicious, so the price has naturally gone up. Last year, the price of oranges at the orchard reached three yuan, and it may be even higher this year.

This made Zhou Yongcheng very happy; he hadn't expected that setting up a feed mill would bring him so many benefits.

In one's own village, raising cattle and sheep makes money, while other villages use the manure from cattle and sheep for planting, thus creating a cycle.

The next day, Zhou Yongcheng first went to the feed mill in the town, and then went to the county. This time he called ahead, and Secretary Zhu Cheng was waiting for Zhou Yongcheng at the gate.

The car drove directly into the county government building.

Upon arriving at Zhu Cheng's office, Zhu Cheng said, "Brother Zhou is a rare guest; it's not easy to see him."

"What rare guest? Just an idler."

"Brother Zhou, that's a bit too modest."

The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, then Zhou Yongcheng asked a question.

"Are live cattle easy to sell in our county?"

"It's just so-so. More and more people are getting into animal husbandry, but the market is only so big. Unlike your village, which is doing high-end animal husbandry, you don't have to worry about selling your products. By the way, is there any possibility of expanding your feed mill?"

"It's tough, the main problem is that the raw materials are hard to come by."

Zhu Cheng nodded. Zhou Yongcheng's feed mill in Daba Town was not large, with only a few production lines. In addition to supplying Qingshui Village, the feed was sold to other villages.

If the raw materials are hard to come by, Zhou Yongcheng's feed mill can't even get its feed out of Daba Town.

The main reason is that the feed is too good. The feed produced by Zhou Yongcheng Feed Factory is only mixed with hay to feed cattle and sheep, and the price of cattle and sheep is as high as 150 yuan per kilogram, which is an astronomical price for ordinary people.

It's important to know that the fish in Zhou Yongcheng's fishpond are fed pure feed, which costs as much as 1,000 yuan per kilogram, exceeding the average person's understanding of fish prices.

Zhu Cheng knew that Zhou Yongcheng didn't make much money from the feed produced by Zhou Yongcheng's feed factory. He learned from Zhou Yongqiang that after deducting costs and labor wages, the net profit of the feed was only ten percent.

If someone else were to produce and sell that kind of feed, Zhu Cheng would guarantee that a single bag would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and there would still be no market for it.

Zhou Yongcheng gave most of the profits to his fellow villagers, which Zhu Cheng greatly admired. In this day and age, he had only ever heard of the owner of Pang Donglai Supermarket having such a vision, distributing most of the profits to his employees.

Good things usually have one or more limitations.

"That's true. In our Yinsi County, the main livestock farming is raising certain types of livestock."

"There are too many breeds. There are too many of the four breeds: cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens. Other breeds like fish, ducks, geese, and rabbits are rare. These are basically consumed internally. The first four breeds are raised too much and cannot be consumed internally. Other counties are also raising them, so we can only sell them to other cities and provinces. The problem is that other counties and cities are also raising them, which is why we have the current situation."

Zhou Yongcheng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, after I return to the city, I will have someone come over to take charge of purchasing the livestock, and then he will contact you."

He plans to have a robot do this.

As more and more technologies emerge at the research center, his wealth is skyrocketing. It would be a waste to leave it unused without spending some money to utilize them.

Zhu Cheng was overjoyed to hear this.

Zhou Yongcheng and Zhu Cheng chatted for about an hour before Zhou Yongcheng took his leave.
