Chapter 473 Yan Feng's Agricultural Star
Chapter 473 Yan Feng's Agricultural Star
"Speak! What's the matter?"
He Facai's sneaky look made Meng Ke subconsciously take a step back: "If you have something to say, just say it first. Don't take me with you if you do something bad."
He Facai choked at Meng Ke's defensive look. He glared at Meng Ke and gritted his teeth: "Whoever wants to do bad things, good intentions are not rewarded. Be careful or you will be sold out without knowing it."
"You said Yan Feng wanted to sell me out?"
Thinking of this, Meng Ke suddenly recalled an old story: "I heard that he held a matchmaking meeting a few years ago. How did it end?"
Yan Feng had no say in Meng Ke's affairs, so she didn't care about it back then. But when He Facai mentioned it, she remembered that Yan Feng had actually dared to sell her out once.
"Ah? That time! That's it! That's it..."
He Facai didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't succeed, so he didn't want Meng Ke to know that he had also signed up.
Meng Ke squinted at him and asked, "Did Yan Feng use me to gain a lot of benefits?"
She remembered that after she knew about this, she warned Yan Feng that if he dared not return the benefits, don't blame her for settling the score later.
He Facai quickly waved his hands: "No, no! Later the matchmaking meeting was cancelled, and the matter was left unresolved."
Speaking of this, He Facai still felt a little regretful.
Meng Ke saw that He Fa Cai was in a low mood and thought that he was an accomplice. He was unhappy because he did not get any benefits from helping Yan Feng. After all, when they first met, she was amazed by this man's greed for money.
"Okay! I'll plant some more spice trees, and you can sell some of them online. We'll split the profits 50-50. That should be fine, right?"
He Facai is indeed a talent when it comes to making money, and Meng Ke also wants to get some benefits for his own people, so he promised him 50% of the profits, which is more than what ordinary partners get.
He Facai didn't expect Meng Ke to throw such a big piece of cake at him. He was so excited: "Really?"
He was afraid that this was just a dream of getting rich, and when he woke up all his money would be gone.
Meng Ke laughed: "Really! But all the high-level planting stars under my name have been planned. Can you temporarily allocate suitable land?"
"can!"
He Facai is full of energy and will do whatever he wants even if he doesn't have it.
"A plantation planet has recently been upgraded to S-level. The crops there rely on you to process the seeds. Many planting areas are often vacant, which is a waste. It would be better to plant some spice trees like star anise and bay leaves to maximize profits."
Hearing that some farmlands are often vacant, Meng Ke sighed helplessly.
Whether it's the fruits on the trees, the vegetables that can be harvested in a cycle in the fields, or even the medicinal crops where only part of the roots and rhizomes are harvested each time, it's all fine. Only those crops that need to be reprocessed and planted after each batch of seeds are really troublesome, but they cannot be avoided. Super high-yield crops like winter melon and pumpkin have unknowingly become a small cornerstone of a stable alliance.
"It's a waste to use an S-class planet just to grow spices. So, we can divide half of it to grow spices and the other half to grow high-yield crops. Have the planet planning team investigate and see what crops are suitable for the planet's environment."
He Facai seemed to have been prepared and immediately sent a piece of information to Meng Ke.
"Hey! Everything in this table is suitable, take a look."
A planet is very large, and the crops suitable for growing vary depending on the soil in different places. Before He Facai gave it to Meng Ke, he quickly deleted some crops with low yields, so the planet planting plan had been adjusted when it reached Meng Ke.
"If we prepare the seedlings according to this plan, when will they be ready?"
She had to go to the Insect Sea Star Region as soon as possible. The storm in the Insect Sea Star Region was no joke. If she was slow to prepare, she would have to wait until the storm was over before starting again.
He Facai waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Meng Ke was unmoved, squinting at him: "You plotted against me!"
He Facai was furious: "What kind of scheme is that? How dare I, a worker, do that?"
The words were spoken in a sarcastic tone. Meng Ke touched her nose. There was nothing she could do. Every step seemed to be stepping into the trap that He Facai had dug in advance, making her unconsciously on guard. She even forgot that the planet was hers and all the money she earned went into her pocket.
Meng Ke comforted him guiltily: "How about I give you a performance increase?"
"Need not!"
It's not that He Fa Zai doesn't love money anymore, but Meng Ke wanted to share half of the seasoning profits with him. Based on the last bottom line of not cheating his own people, he reluctantly refused.
All right! Since it was something He Facai didn’t want, Meng Ke didn’t insist on it anymore.
But after seeing the massive amount of seeds in the warehouses, Meng was completely speechless.
That’s not all. He Facai asked Meng Ke, “There are also many seeds on other planting planets. He asked her whether she wanted to go there in person or bring the seeds here.
After Meng Ke finished processing the countless seeds in front of her, she asked, "Aren't you too cruel? Do you want to tire me to death so that you can inherit my inheritance?"
He Facai sneered: "Will you give me the chance to inherit your estate?"
When he said this, he had a faint expectation in his heart, even though Meng Ke didn't see what he wanted to see.
Meng Ke didn't notice He Facai's expression. She just thought he was crazy about money and turned away. "You wish! Even if you have the inheritance right, I will definitely live longer than you."
Really? Are you going to give me the inheritance?
In the end, he didn't ask the question. He Facai stood there in a daze until Meng Ke came to him after processing all the seeds. Only then did he come back to his senses.
"Which other planets have seeds to process? Will you come with me, or should I go alone?"
He Facai is as busy as her family's housekeeper. Meng Ke understands if he doesn't have time to accompany her, so her words are very considerate.
He Facai answered without thinking: "I'll go with you. You're a boss who doesn't show up in years, who would know you?"
Maybe because they had a good relationship, He Facai subconsciously said something to insult Meng Ke, but then he regretted it.
Fortunately, Meng Ke and He Facai got along very well, and didn't mind being criticized by her old classmate at all. She even agreed: "That's right! When I go to these planets in the future, I will show you my face and see who dares to embarrass me!"
He Facai laughed: "What a success!"
The two chatted and joked, and time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the matters on the various planets had been almost dealt with, and Meng Ke was about to leave.
He Facai was reluctant to let go and found all kinds of reasons to stay with Meng Ke longer and longer.
But no matter how many excuses you have, they will all run out eventually.
Meng Ke waved at He Facai and said, "I'll leave the affairs of these planets to you. If you encounter any difficulties, tell Uncle Lei. If anyone dares to bully us, go to Ouyang Kong and complain. Do you understand?"
"Hmm! Why are you acting like an old woman? You might as well process some more seeds instead."
Meng Ke frowned: "Even if the seeds I processed can be stored for seven days, I can't plant all the seeds I processed in the past few days, right?"
It would be a waste if he couldn't plant more, and Meng Ke didn't want to work in vain.
He Facai had already thought of an excuse: "If you don't have time to plant them, you can sell them! Don't you know that seeds processed by senior planters can also be sold at a sky-high price?"
Meng Ke rubbed his forehead and said, "There's really no need to be so frugal. I got rid of the fiscal deficit last year!"
"You're just getting carried away by your little money. Do you know how wealthy other senior planters are? What you have isn't even a fraction of theirs. You should be more ambitious!"
"Okay, okay! Got it! I'll go to the Insect Sea Star Region and continue to shine."
He Facai's eyes flashed: "Are you going to the Insect Sea Star Region to develop and plant planets?"
"I haven't decided yet. It doesn't necessarily mean developing a plantation planet! The environment there is much worse than the central area. Maybe we can develop a barren planet."
The main reason is that the money she has is really not enough to buy a planet.
"Now you know the benefits of money, right? Humph!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
If Meng wants someone to work hard for him, he naturally has to take the other person's emotions into consideration and comfort him when necessary.
"Once I find a suitable planet, I'll definitely send it to you for consultation."
He Facai had other ideas: "How about I go to the Insect Sea Star Region with you?"
Afraid Meng Ke would refuse, he quickly listed his reasons: "Things on the various planets in the Central Region have been sorted out, and with Mr. Lei Yan in charge, there won't be any chaos. I heard that the situation in the Insect Sea Star Region is complicated, and conflicts occur from time to time. You know my fighting ability, so it's perfect for me to go with you and see who dares to touch our planet."
It’s great to expand your territory with the one you love!
However, no matter how good He Facai's reasons were and how much he talked, Meng Ke still disagreed.
"No! You are my uncle's only child. You are his lifeblood. If anything happens to you, how will I explain to my uncle?"
He Facai's father is a very capable businessman. Now he is in charge of selling Meng Ke's fruits and vegetables to various planets.
He's father had no other wishes except that his son would be safe and sound, so Meng would never agree to let He Facai go to the Insect Sea Star Region with her.
He Facai was rejected and became depressed. He no longer stuck to Meng Ke and went away to sulk. He didn't even see Meng Ke off when she left.
Seeing that his adopted daughter had finally finished her own business, Yan Feng came over and asked her to deal with the newly acquired planet.
"Have you completed the infrastructure?"
"Of course! I'm a professional!"
Yan Feng is full of confidence.
In fact, no matter what major you choose, you can’t just copy Meng Ke’s simple version.
The fleet happened to pass by the planet bought by Yan Feng, which was a very remote location. From the command deck, one could see that there were many people living on the planet.
"Isn't this a planting planet? Why is it like an agricultural planet?"
Yan Feng sighed, "There's nothing I can do! The Holy Soul Star Region may seem peaceful, but in reality, many people die during every beast tide. Many of my soldiers come from ordinary backgrounds, and their families are struggling without their backbone. I'm living a better life thanks to my daughter, but I have to consider them."
Meng Ke's eyebrows twitched when she heard the word "daughter". This guy is really taking things too seriously.
But what he said was true, Meng Ke also had his own information channels.
"Do you want to provide for them, or let them fend for themselves?"
As long as he can revitalize this planet, Yan Feng will be able to support these people easily.
"Of course I have to support myself!"
He has no interest in helping others support their families.
Meng Ke raised an eyebrow: "I remember you wanted to arrange for some people from the barren planets and garbage planets to come here. If you don't support them, how can you make them obedient?"
Yan Feng gave Meng Ke a look that asked, "Are you stupid?" "I give them jobs and money to eat. How dare they disobey me?"
The corner of Meng Ke's mouth twitched: "Isn't the Luo family willing to give you a bargain price?"
Luo Jing had already agreed to give Yan Feng a discount for her sake, but Yan Feng was still so stingy. Meng Ke didn't know what to say.
Is it possible that exploiting labor is Yan Feng's hobby?!
Yan Feng was annoyed by his daughter's look: "What are you looking at! You seem to be ignorant of the suffering of the world, and you're willing to pay for it at a bargain price! Do you know how many robots a planet needs? Do you know how expensive combat robots and all-purpose robots are? And then there's the cost of maintaining the robots. How many energy stones will so many robots consume? Have you ever calculated it?"
Yan Feng put his hands on his hips, looking at a spendthrift girl.
Meng was no stranger to the high cost of food and daily necessities, so she probably understood what Cheap Dad meant: "Do you want to replace robots with human labor?"
"Yes! Isn't that the case on Ancient Blue Star? In order to prevent unemployment and social unrest, they deliberately reserve some jobs. I can only say that I am following their example."
"This wasn't your idea, was it?"
Yan Feng frowned: "What do you mean! You look down on me!"
Well! This man is now his legal father, so calling himself "old man" is not considered an insult. Meng Ke automatically ignores Yan Feng's behavior of calling himself "old man" when he is excited.
"Is this what Tiedan brother thought?"
"how do you know!"
As soon as he said this, Yan Feng realized that he was exposed.
He stiffened his neck and tried to find a place to fight: "I can think of it too."
It turned out to be Brother Bianyi's idea. She knew that Father Bianyi was thinking of buying more robots last time, but now he suddenly changed his mind. Only Brother Bianyi could do this quietly, and no one else could do it.
"Manpower is too slow. The seeds I processed can only be stored for seven days at most. You'd better plant the seeds within six days. Are you sure manual planting can keep up?"
This is the disadvantage of manpower. Not only is it slow, but it also requires rest, unlike planting robots that can operate efficiently 24 hours a day.
Yan Feng scratched his head. He had never thought about such a detailed question.
So he threw the question back to Meng Ke: "What should we do?"
Meng Ke laughed in anger: "You are the Star Lord, I am only here to help?"
Yan Feng didn't consider himself an outsider at all. He raised his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and wanted to pat Meng Ke's shoulder, but he saw that Meng Ke's shoulder was too thin, and the guards behind her were all staring at her covetously. Finally, he knocked his right hand on the palm of his left hand and said with a hurt tone: "You are my daughter. The law recognizes it. My planet is your planet! This will be your home from now on. You can come back anytime you want. Dad will be waiting for you at home."
Meng Ke felt jealous. This guy was trying to be sentimental for the sake of being professional. Couldn't he have adjusted his expression? If he were rated based on actor level, he wouldn't even be ranked in the lowest category.
If she didn't follow this human skin, Meng Ke would have to rush to the Insect Sea Star Region.
"Has the space traction device been installed?"
Yan Feng nodded quickly: "It has been installed a long time ago."
The planet's infrastructure is too rudimentary, and now express delivery depends entirely on it. It can be said that it works 24 hours a day and consumes a lot of energy.
He is now waiting for the crop coverage rate to reach the standard, and then he will immediately apply for cooperation with Interstellar Express.
"Ask He Facai to arrange for some planting robots to be loaned over so that we can plant the first crop."
"Also, if you haven't hired other growers, it's best not to plant potato crops yet. The Insect Sea Star Region is about to enter a storm period, and I won't be able to pull them back in a short time."
Yan Feng has many subordinates and considerable power. Even Ouyang Kong cannot figure out his depth. However, because he has to manage so many people, he is not well-off. When it comes to hiring planters, only a few children from his families are junior planters. They are okay for helping out, but do not meet the hiring standards mentioned by Meng Ke.
Thinking about it this way, it was as good as nothing, so I just said directly: "I don't have money to hire someone, what can you think of to plant?"
“Is there a plan?”
Yan Feng immediately sent over the plan he had prepared in advance, which was made by the person who took advantage of his daughter.
Meng Ke took a look and saw that the potato crops mentioned earlier only occupied a small part of the planet, and most of the rest was planned to be planted with seasoning crops.
"Do you have seeds and seedlings?"
Yan Feng smirked: "A little bit."
Meng Ke ignored the man's pretense of stupidity and said, "How much is one point? Send me the list."
After seeing the list sent by Yan Feng, she was completely speechless.
