The fields outside Ningyuan County are all yellow.
Since the places in the Taihu and Panyang Lake irrigation areas that originally produced the most grain in Chongqing have increasingly been converted from agriculture to mulberry farming, Jingnan and Jingbei counties have become the major grain-producing areas in Dayu.
And Ningyuan County is outstanding among the counties in Jingnan County.
Otherwise, Ningyuan County would not have such a peaceful scene.
Even when the floods first broke out, there were not many victims in Ningyuan County. Except for those whose houses and food were washed away, almost no one came out to cause trouble.
But this year is different.
First of all, all the fields of the Lu Fang family have been replanted with vegetables.
Then there is the Xu family.
They are all big players.
So you can still see many different colors in the fields.
Recently, the head of the Xu family, Xu Zhilou, has been particularly concerned about his fields, because the millet peppers, horn peppers and potatoes that Lu Fang asked him to plant are about to be ripe.
Whether it can really bring huge benefits as Lu Fang said, we will find out soon.
Moreover, not only the big households in Ningyuan County are keeping an eye on it, but the county magistrate Zou Yi is also keeping an eye on it. I have personally visited Xujiatian many times.
As for Lu Fang's planting base, it is naturally even more diverse.
Spinach, onions, sunflowers, etc.
All the seeds he collected were placed in the planting base for trial planting.
Now some are already ripe, and some are almost ripe.
Lu Fang was standing in his family's planting base at this time, accompanied by Zhu'er's parents and Tang Ziping. There were also some tenants watching from a little distance.
Mr. Lu, these are all new things.
And Lu Fang also drew conclusions from those plants that had already harvested.
The seeds redeemed directly from the system mall are not omnipotent after all. The survival rate is 100%, but not all the things grown are of the highest quality.
Just like oranges in the south and tangerines in the north.
Then there are those second-generation seeds, which are even worse.
Not only is the survival rate much lower, but there are also seasonal requirements.
I can't grow anything except this season.
Unless it is grown in a greenhouse.
But Lu Fang has now given up that idea.
It’s not too late to build things like greenhouses in the future. Nowadays, many people have trouble even filling their stomachs, so they don’t bother to eat things that are out of season.
He has a huge blueprint in his mind, but at the moment, it is obvious that he cannot realize it.
After leaving the planting base, Lu Fangfang returned to Ningyuan County. Then he went to Qingxifang to call up He Zhigao and his son, Li Mu, and then went to his several workshops.
The new Qingxifang has finally been completed, only a few things are needed to prepare.
In the future, the brewing masters will no longer have to work in two courtyards.
He Zhigao is becoming more and more calm now, and he still does things well.
We haven't purchased all the things yet, so we have already contacted the winemakers in neighboring counties and recruited many masters and apprentices.
As soon as the new winery officially starts construction, it will immediately become the largest winery in Jingnan County.
Not only the size of the workshop, but also the reputation.
Nowadays, Qingxi Brewing has become a serious imperial brewing and is well-known in Chongqing.
As long as the output keeps up, it will be a matter of course that the wealth will increase.
This benefit is by no means comparable to what Plant Plant and Bestore currently offer.
Then there are the three new workshops.
Spicy food, dry goods, medicines.
With Li Mu's help and the rush to speed up the work regardless of cost, it is now in the final stage.
Lu Fang had already made a rough plan.
Use the worship value mall and hate value search engine to find dozens of spicy foods that can be processed now, such as spicy strips, chili sauce, Laoganma, etc.
Just the packaging is a problem.
He thought he should build another glass processing factory.
As for plastic, that stuff is too high-end and cannot be produced.
There are also dozens of dry goods and medicines.
The raw materials for these things are all available in the market in Jingnan County.
Lu Fang planned to go to Lu Lin to discuss this matter. His family was the richest man in Jingnan County and had extensive connections.
It's just that I don't plan to bring Lu Lin with me in this business.
There is really no need to let people earn some "agency fees" from the process for no reason.
It's better to just send some novel gifts.
After watching the workshop, several people walked back to Ningyuan.
On the way, Lu Fang just told He Zhigao and his son one thing. That is production! Production! Production!
Not enough people, recruit!
Not enough space, expand!
Because he knew very well that the new type of liquor could not be hidden forever, even if it was covered by Liang Shi.
So you have to swallow a large enough portion of the cake before anyone comes to compete for it.
Qingxi Niang must be the leader of Dayu Baijiu industry in the future.
Then he talked to Li Mu about spicy food, medicine and dry goods processing factories.
These three are undoubtedly extremely new in this era.
Lu Fang didn't say anything else, he just asked Li Mu to recruit some people. Recruit a few stewards who had worked in the workshop.
After returning to Bestore, Lu Fang locked himself in the room.
The tools and tools needed for the three new workshops, as well as the processing plans for various finished products. All these details had to be considered and copied by himself.
After all, no one had any experience, not even himself.
Until Fuer called for lunch outside.
During the banquet.
Lu Fang noticed that Tang Ziping looked at him from time to time, hesitating to speak.
After dinner, he took Tang Ziping to his room and asked, "Brother Tang, is there something wrong?"
Tang Ziping scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Master, you see that you give me so much salary every month. I am just idle here. I... why don't you also arrange for me to do some work in your workshop?"
Right? I can feel more at ease now."
Lu Fang couldn't help laughing.
This Tang Ziping is really a real person.
Then he patted Tang Ziping and said, "I didn't ask you to do this. That would be an insult to your talents."
"That's..."
Tang Ziping was slightly stunned.
Lu Fang said: "Right now, my three workshops haven't been set up yet. When they are set up, I will have to go to Tanzhou or even various places in Chongqing to purchase materials. People who have their own workshops will talk to farmers, medicine and medicine about materials."
We need to negotiate with the customer, but someone has to be responsible for transporting it. Brother Tang, you used to be a bodyguard, so you are familiar with this."
"That's a good feeling."
Tang Ziping grinned widely, patted his chest and said, "I don't dare to talk about other places, but here in Jingnan County, I guarantee that your goods will be safe."
Apparently he has accumulated some connections over the years.
Lu Fang shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to help me transport these. I want you to help me get a... let's call it an escort agency, a very big escort agency."
"A big escort agency?"
Tang Ziping was a little stunned again.
Lu Fang nodded, "For the time being, we only need to focus on Jingnan County, but in the future, I want this escort agency to have branches in every county throughout Dayu."
In fact, he had this idea a long time ago, from the time when he started to build Bestore.
logistics.
When recruiting Tang Ziping, he also deliberately wanted Tang Ziping to be his chief transportation manager.
Tang Ziping was stunned.
Such a large escort agency has never been seen in the Chongqing Dynasty.
