Chapter 407
He was very clear that Wan Ping'an was much more powerful than Yi Zhonghai; if he caused trouble for Wan Ping'an, Wan Ping'an would definitely punish him tenfold.
He would rather not bother Yi Zhonghai.
Than cause trouble for Wan Ping'an!
The next morning.
Wan Ping'an arrived at the six acres.
Just as he walked beside the thatched hut, he heard the cry of a Haidongqing falcon.
A black dot descended from the sky.
It was a rabbit!
Naturally, it was caught by the Haidongqing falcon, but the falcon had become addicted to eating the chickens he raised and looked down on wild game like rabbits and pheasants.
The chickens Wan Ping'an raised used the technology of the farming system.
The nutrition was richer.
The taste was better.
People liked to eat them, and the Haidongqing falcons liked to eat them too!
"Caught another one?"
"The rabbits nearby are out of luck; as long as they dare to approach the six acres, they get caught by the Haidongqing falcons; there are too many, we can't even eat them all!"
Han Dahe came over and picked it up.
Wan Ping'an nodded.
The quality of the crops grown on the six acres was too high; even with a wolf and a dog, and five Haidongqing falcons, they couldn't completely eliminate them.
Kill one batch, and another batch would come!
They could only maintain a balance!
The wild rabbits, pheasants, and other small game killed by the Haidongqing falcons were always processed by Shazhu and fed to the people working there.
"Shazhu, come here."
Wan Ping'an beckoned.
"What is it?"
Shazhu trotted over.
When he first arrived at the six acres, he was full of resentment and opposed Wan Ping'an at every turn.
Wan Ping'an only used one trick.
He let Da Hei and Da Qing "urge" Shazhu.
If he called Shazhu and he didn't respond, he would let Da Hei go call him, and bring Da Qing along for good measure.
Even though Shazhu knew that Da Hei and Da Qing were raised by Wan Ping'an and wouldn't bite easily, he still felt his liver tremble when they bared their teeth.
Moreover, the wolf and the dog were oversized; even without using their teeth, if they pounced on Shazhu with their claws, Shazhu couldn't handle it.
After being dealt with twice, Shazhu became obedient.
He came whenever he was called!
"Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi and the others are coming for labor reform."
"Don't get involved in their business; this is your dad's wish, and it's also my wish—remember that!"
"Alright, go back to your work!"
Wan Ping'an only said two sentences.
Han Dahe put the rabbit in the house and came out; Cai Quanwu also walked over, and the three of them sat by the thatched hut chatting.
"Summer is over, and the weather is getting colder; the thatched hut won't hold up!"
"Old Cai, find some workers to build a house."
"In the winter, there's a greenhouse here that needs people, and if we don't build a house, the thatched hut won't be able to house people in the winter."
Wan Ping'an's six acres would grow crops all year round.
And raise livestock.
Naturally, he had to build a house.
He had already applied, and it had been approved!
Cai Quanwu nodded.
"Keep an eye on Shazhu; he's a bit like his nickname—a bit silly, though 'stupid' is more appropriate!"
"He's not stupid; he's just been fooled by others!"
Wan Ping'an was still a bit worried.
Yi Zhonghai was an old fox.
And behind him was an even more cunning old fox, Deaf Old Lady.
If he didn't keep an eye on them, they would definitely stir up trouble.
"Yi Zhonghai is really not a good thing!"
"No wonder he has no descendants; it's probably retribution for all the wicked things he's done!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on him!"
Cai Quanwu nodded, feeling very moved!
They had all come from the old society, and just after entering the new society, some old concepts still had a heavy influence, and they were quite inclined to believe in karma.
"Yi Zhonghai shouldn't have been the First Elder in the first place!"
Han Dahe expressed his opinion.
He lived in a large compound, not a Sihe Academy, and also had managing Elders, but there wasn't as much trouble as with Yi Zhonghai.
While the three were chatting, Director Wang arrived.
"I heard the greenhouse is finished, so I came to take a look."
Director Wang said with a smile.
"I'll take you for a tour!"
Wan Ping'an nodded.
After the tour, Director Wang was very moved; it was his first time seeing a greenhouse of such a scale.
The Nongke Academy wanted to invest, and they could definitely afford it.
The problem was that the Nongke Academy had too many projects, and funds were limited; when spread out to every project, the funds weren't that abundant.
Every penny had to be spent where it was needed.
Director Wang had told Wan Ping'an that even if more money was allocated from above, it wouldn't be possible to satisfy all projects; they could only choose the best among the best.
Even if the funds were increased tenfold, it would still be the same, and it wouldn't be possible to satisfy the needs of all projects!
"When winter comes, I'll wait for your good news!"
"If the winter planting costs really come down, the greenhouse you built will become the standard and be promoted to the cold regions of the north!"
"You will have made another great contribution!"
Director Wang sighed with emotion.
Once the promotion of golden rice was successful, the primary credit would of course belong to Wan Ping'an; no one could take it away!
The credit for the greenhouse wasn't as great as the golden rice, but it was also very significant!
Enough to achieve a class leap!
At least a leap of three levels!
After seeing Director Wang off, Wan Ping'an returned to the Sihe Academy.
At the gate of the courtyard, he saw the door god, Yan Fugui, looking a bit listless.
What was going on?
What happened?
Immediately after, he remembered.
Tomorrow was a day off, the day Yi Zhonghai and the others were to go to the six acres for labor reform.
The three Elders plus Jia Zhangshi were to do a full day of farm work.
Yan Fugui was a teacher, not someone who did physical labor; doing a full day of physical labor would probably tire him to the point of falling apart!
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were in better shape.
One was a fitter, the other was a blacksmith; both were manual laborers, so going to do farm work was just a different form of physical labor.
The most miserable one was definitely Jia Zhangshi!
