Chapter 275: Who Gave You the Courage?
Chapter 275: Who Gave You the Courage?
The case involving Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongzhang was quickly announced by You City.
After the two were apprehended, they would be transferred to the court for prosecution due to the solid evidence.
Naturally, the news that the eight farmers from Xinlin Village had their planting qualifications revoked also spread quickly in You City.
Many farmers learned about the news, which made those with ulterior motives think twice and retract their schemes.
After all, not everyone was as foolish as those from Xinlin Village, thinking they could cultivate whitening sweet potato seedlings easily.
Such a thing should be obvious to anyone who gave it a little thought.
In the following days, the farmers in You City who were growing whitening sweet potatoes began to harvest their crops one after another.
Due to the increased yield, Liyuan Farm's sales volume also increased significantly.
The online daily order quantity reached 5,000 pounds.
Offline, it reached 10,000 pounds.
Thus, Liyuan Farm's daily sales of whitening sweet potatoes alone amounted to 4.5 million yuan.
This was a huge breakthrough for the farm.
How many companies could achieve 4.5 million yuan in daily sales?
And most of that was pure profit.
Of course, the farm had such sales volumes because the farmers had harvested a large quantity of sweet potatoes.
However, such high sales volumes couldn't last long.
Since the number of first-batch farmers was limited, the county government quickly began arranging for the second batch of farmers to start planting.
Liyuan Farm had already begun cultivating whitening sweet potato seedlings.
So, after the second batch of farmers started planting, trucks began arriving at Liyuan Farm every day from the county, transporting the seedlings, which were then distributed to the farmers by the county.
For a time, You City saw another wave of enthusiasm for planting whitening sweet potatoes.
When Lin Shan and Lin Yue received the notification, they immediately left the village and headed to the county.
Outside the county government building, a reception area for the farmers had already been set up.
The second batch of farmers who had received planting quotas had already gathered there and signed another contract.
Following the instructions, the two signed the contract and then proceeded to the Agriculture Bureau with it.
The whitening sweet potato seedlings were distributed by the Agriculture Bureau.
When they arrived at the Agriculture Bureau, many farmers were already queuing up.
Lin Shan immediately asked one of them, "Brother, how do we collect the seedlings?"
The person explained, "Have you signed the contract in the county? Once you reach the front of the queue, you can collect the seedlings using the signed contract."
"If you have your own transportation, you can take them back yourself. Otherwise, you can rent a vehicle from the Agriculture Bureau to transport the seedlings."
Lin Shan and Lin Yue had only come on a motorcycle and couldn't afford to buy a transport vehicle, not even a basic tricycle.
So, they had to rent a vehicle from the Agriculture Bureau.
The two quickly went to the rental office to complete the procedures.
They each had five acres of land to plant, so they didn't need too many seedlings, and a large truck would suffice.
After renting the vehicle, they rejoined the queue and waited for half a day, only to find that the pile of seedlings was getting smaller and smaller.
If things continued like this, it seemed they wouldn't get their hands on the seedlings. However, fortunately, not long after, several large trucks transporting seedlings drove in.
This put their minds at ease.
"Please show your collection contract."
When it was their turn, the person in charge of registration and distribution at the Agriculture Bureau said to them.
Lin Shan didn't hesitate and handed over his contract.
Lin Yue did the same.
The person in charge of registration and distribution looked at the contract, saw that there were no issues, and then filed it away. He then gave them a receipt: "You can use this receipt to collect your seedlings over there."
The two immediately headed to the seedling collection area and, in no time, collected their seedlings. They then spent some time loading them onto the rented truck and had the driver take them to Xinlin Village.
As soon as they returned to the village, they didn't hesitate and immediately called their wives and parents to help with the planting.
In the following days, they were completely occupied, working tirelessly until all the land was planted with seedlings. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, this was the key to their future prosperity.
From then on, the two families were very diligent, watering the seedlings every day. Seeing all the seedlings survive, they were filled with excitement.
Lin Yuanbin and the others naturally noticed the actions of Lin Shan and Lin Yue's families during this period.
Watching the two families plant the whitening sweet potatoes, they felt as if they were seeing their former selves.
They too had once been exploited by Liyuan Farm, happily helping them plant.
Now, they weren't so foolish. They decided to cultivate the seedlings themselves and plant them on their own.
Lin Yuanbin even went directly to Lin Shan's field with a few others and teased him:
"Lin Shan, you've finished planting the whitening sweet potatoes?"
"Now, looking at these whitening sweet potatoes, you must be really looking forward to them maturing, right?"
"I say, you really are foolish. Since you're helping the farm plant and getting exploited, and can only plant for one season, didn't you know that these seedlings can be cultivated by yourselves and then planted?"
"Indeed, now we can cultivate and plant them ourselves, whenever we want, without being restricted to just one season."
"Moreover, we're not limited to planting only five acres. We can plant as many acres as we want."
Lin Shan frowned at Lin Yuanbin and the others: "It's not your fault for lacking education, but being this stupid, you really need to get your heads checked."
"Who told you that the seedlings of whitening sweet potatoes can be cultivated by you? Look at how many people in the county are growing whitening sweet potatoes. If it were really that easy, do you think only you would have thought of it?"
"If it could really be cultivated outside, wouldn't the big foreign company have done it long ago? Why would they wait for you to do it?"
"How naive are you, thinking that a big company is so incompetent? With just your elementary school education?"
"By the way, I just planted these whitening sweet potato seedlings. You can take them back and compare them with the ones in your fields. There should be a significant difference."
"Can't you even do a simple comparison?"
Lin Shan's words left Lin Yuanbin and the others stunned.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yuanbin frowned, but his actions were quick as he pulled up a whitening sweet potato seedling from the field and hurriedly rushed to his own field.
The others did the same, suddenly feeling that something wasn't quite right after being reminded.
