    "Brother Jingming, I haven't seen you for more than two years, but you still have the same style!" Zhang Xiguo cupped his hands towards the head of Bishan County and said with a smile.

    "How can you compare to County Magistrate Zhang? In this year's war, we have collected batches of food. I am afraid that the entire Bishan County will have to tighten their belts this year. I heard that County Magistrate Zhang has grown rice in your county.  The growth rate is astonishing, the yield per mu is five to six hundred kilograms, and several counties around us are very envious after hearing this." Zhu Jitong, the head of Bishan County, returned the greeting.

    "There is no output of five or six hundred kilograms. It's just a rumor." Zhang Xiguo didn't expect that the blow from the outside would get worse and worse, and the output of three hundred or six hundred kilograms would be blown up to five or six hundred kilograms.  He quickly argued that if he really admitted it, all the counties with food shortages would come to Qi*jiang. How could he have so much food to help others?  "Besides, Mr. Xu personally controls the rice seeds now, and the quantity is not large. Only tens of thousands of acres have been planted in the entire Qi*jiang River."

    "We have planted tens of thousands of acres this year, but next year we will only have hundreds of thousands of acres? We are all under the rule of Mr. Xu now, and I think Mr. Xu will not favor one over the other." said the county magistrates of several other counties.

    "Why do you think Mr. Xu called some gentry businessmen from our county to do this? To develop farms again? This is a great thing." With the successful example of Qi*jiang, other counties are also ready to take action.

    "Master is here!" The guard's voice quickly calmed down the somewhat jocular scene.

    Xu Wei appeared in uniform among the county magistrates, gentry, and businessmen.  He strode forward from the separated crowd, climbed onto the stage, and glanced at the crowd of almost two hundred people below.

    "From today on, Wusheng, Hechuan, Longchang, Bishan, Jiangjin, Qijiang and other nine counties will be governed by me. I hope that in the future, we can live together in harmony."

    "Mr. Xu, I heard that Qijiang has rice seeds with a yield of more than 300 kilograms per mu. Can you also distribute some to Bishan County?"

    "Longchang County also needs"

    Xu Wei stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the scene calmed down again, "You must have heard from County Magistrate Zhang that rice seeds are limited and cannot be spread to all counties for the time being. However, in the next two to three years, everyone can grow them."  High-yielding rice. It¡¯s a little early to talk about this topic for the time being. I brought you here today for another matter.¡±

    "You also know that I am now the commander of the Sixth Division of Sichuan. I already have more than 8,000 soldiers under my command, and the number will soon exceed 10,000. Not to mention the food and drink every year, these 10,000 people consume at least two thousand soldiers a year.  Thousands of sets of clothes, 20,000 pairs of shoes, 10,000 towels, tooth powder, soap, how huge a profit there is, even if you have not been exposed to this industry, you should be able to imagine it." Xu Weidao.

    ¡°Commander Xu, do you want us to provide these to the army?¡± A businessman below asked tentatively.  In a market with more than 10,000 people, even if the profit is slightly lower, the cumulative annual income is still very considerable.  But the only thing that worries everyone is whether Xu Wei will follow the rules. If he relies on his own power to buy at a low price, won't they lose everything?

    "We don't have so many military uniforms and shoes on hand. We can buy goods from other places. But does Commander Xu have to clear the money and goods, or pay the principal before taking it?" It is a matter of personal interests. Even if Xu Wei is the commander, everyone here  Businessmen also need to ask clearly.

    "This military purchase plan will give priority to local garment and shoe factories. Only when the local factories cannot meet the requirements, will they purchase from other places." Xu Weidao said, "As for the payment of goods, you can rest assured that money and goods will be paid.  Liangqing. If any of you are worried, you can let me take a share when setting up the factory. I am opening up farms in Qi*jiang and Jiangjin. Many people in the two counties have worked with me. You are worried.  You can also ask if they have discounts."

    "I guarantee with my personality that Mr. Xu is absolutely fair. The income and expenses of several farms have been audited by the participating gentry in the two counties. There is absolutely no falsehood in the middle. As for the cost, last year it was paid back and a small profit was made. This year  Once the autumn grain is harvested, it will be a pure profit, and we will have a stable income every year from now on." Kang Xinfu, who is nearly 30 years old, was the first to rise up and respond.  Several other businessmen involved in Qi*jiang Farm couldn't help but feel upset that Kang Xinfu had taken advantage of such a good performance opportunity.

    "Mr. Xu, besides Qi*jiang, can other counties also develop farms?"

    "Of course, but the situation is different now. I don't have that much energy to manage the newly reclaimed farmland in each county. The management rights are in the investment businessmen, and the county government will not interfere. The land is provided by the government, and the land is provided by the government.  The deed can be owned by the reclamation businessman, but the government must enjoy a portion of the income dividends every year. As for how to divide it and how much to divide it, we will draw up a charter together later. In short, we must ensure that everyone makes money." Looking down, there is still some worry.  , but most of them knew they were in the right place this time with their eager eyes.

    After the meeting was dissolved, Xu Wei called Zhang Xiguo.

      "I didn't expect that after only half a year of hard work, the master would be promoted so quickly. The master asked me to come over. What are your instructions?" Zhang Xiguo had a smile on his face. A regimental commander was in the maelstrom of Sichuan.  It won't make a few waves if thrown in, but the weight of the division commander is different. There are many armies in central Sichuan, but there are only six or seven divisions in Sichuan at this time. These forces can affect the entire Sichuan pattern.  Xu Wei's division performed very well in Luzhou, and its combat power was ranked at an upper-middle level. As long as it takes another year or two to settle down, Xu Wei's qualifications will improve, and his ranking in Sichuan will rise a lot.  At this time, Zhang Xiguo was becoming more and more optimistic about the young general in front of him.

    "How many nearby counties know about Qi*jiang's high-yielding rice seeds?" Xu Wei asked.

    Zhang Xiguo said, "This matter has spread quite widely. I'm afraid some farmers in Chongqing and northern Guizhou have heard about it."

    "Now the No. 1 rice seed is only grown in Qi*jiang. You have to be aware of it and try to avoid a large loss of rice seeds to neighboring provinces. The grain grown from the No. 1 rice seed must be purchased by Fengsui Seed Company. Of course,  The price is still based on the market price, which will not cause losses to those farmers." With tens of thousands of acres of No. 1 rice seed planting land, there must be a considerable part of the seeds in open fields that may not be able to maintain their high yields in the second year due to hybridization.  However, this does not prevent Fengsui Rice Seed Company from selling it. No matter how bad it is, it is no different from rice seeds in ordinary farmland.  The No. 1 rice seed will be a hen that can lay golden eggs in the future. It will cost money to expand the army, buy arms, open mines and factories, revitalize industry, and set up education. If Xu Wei cannot grasp enough financial resources, he will not be able to survive in Sichuan.  The warlords are no different.

    Zhang Xiguo looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The No. 1 rice seed doesn't look much different from other rice. After harvesting, the farmers below mix it with other rice seeds and then send it to other places."  Selling is simply difficult to control." As long as there is enough profit, even if there are legal restrictions, I am afraid that many people will take risks. After all, this kind of thing is not easy to investigate.

    "Don't worry about how well we are doing. In short, we must avoid the loss of rice seeds as much as possible." At this time, Xu Wei had only seven counties in name, but with Qi*jiang and Jiangjin, there were nine counties in Sichuan.  It is mountainous and it is not impossible to find a larger grain seed base by next year.  Moreover, the secret of the lost rice seeds cannot be found out. Even if they are lucky in the second year, it will be difficult to ensure high yield in the third year. Only the seeds produced from the Xuwei area are the most authentic. Time  Over time, it will be enough to develop good credit.

    Zhang Xiguo nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Xu Wei didn't give him an impossible task. According to Xu Wei's tone, he only needed to ensure that most of it was completed.  Of course, the more he loses, the more he fails in his duties.
