When Song Xian arrived at the Sixth Ring Road, there were only eight days left before the meeting date. Li Ke communicated the details to him and gave him the meeting notice and qualification certificate.

After receiving the order, Song Xian only rested for one night, and rushed to the meeting place within the first ring road early the next morning.

Li Ke handed over his burden and began to concentrate on building his own house. Now his courtyard wall has been built to two meters high, but Li Ke still asked the fleet outside to continue to send in construction waste. Her requirement is that it should be built to at least five meters.

All the safe zones have entered a period of rapid construction. The only reason that has slowed down the project is the urgent shortage of machinery and fuel, but most of the bases can use manpower to make up for the deficiencies in other aspects.

A few days ago, a group of construction workers appeared behind the house that Li Ke was building, but the owner did not come and simply contracted out the project.

When Li Ke's men went to inquire, they only learned that the owner's surname seemed to be Qi, and they didn't know much more about the contractor.

By the time Song Xian returned from the meeting, Li Ke's two-story basement had been almost dug.

Song Xian took out his meeting notes for Li Ke to review, and supplemented his explanation to Li Ke: "Two kinds of grain seedlings have been developed. One is called bitter bean, and the fruit it produces is about the size of a quail egg. It looks a bit like raw potatoes, and tastes a bit like that, but with a bitter and spicy taste. The other grain is called cross flour, which looks like a mixture of wheat and rice. The fruit it produces looks like wheat, but its color is closer to rice, and the fruit is two or three times larger than the other two. This one doesn't taste very good, but it's slightly better than bitter bean."

Li Ke looked at the fruit samples of the two crops that Song Xian took out. She had seen the bitter bean in her previous life. It was almost the same as the wild potato they found in the forest. But this was the first time she had seen this crop.

Song Xian took a sip of water and found it very tasting. He filled another glass for himself before continuing, "The higher-ups mean that they can provide us with seedlings and cultivation instructors for free. They don't charge anything for the first year, but they want 50% of the annual output from the second to the fourth year. We can cultivate the seedlings ourselves or buy them from them. They will collect an appropriate amount of money based on demand each year, and it will not exceed 2% at most. In the end, the various bases negotiated with each other. Although the good seeds mentioned above would have a good harvest, everyone still agreed to pay 35% of the output for three years. If other seedlings are developed and promoted in the future, they will follow this example."

Seeing that Li Ke didn't say anything and his expression didn't change, Song Xian talked about the development of the greening area again: "Before the snowfall, the higher-ups will distribute greening roots and instructions to bases with spare capacity. Because the soil in the greening area is worse, the development may not be ideal, but the higher-ups attach great importance to this area. It means that if the private greening area develops well, 5% of the output of the planting area can be exempted. If the development is particularly good, it can be increased to 15 to 20% according to the situation."

When Li Ke heard this, he looked at the sky outside through the transparent window of the tent. The wind was cold and it looked like snow could fall at any time.

"The greening roots were delivered before the snow fell. This is not the best time for planting, right?" Li Ke asked.

In fact, it is more than inappropriate, it is simply inappropriate. After the snow falls, the temperature will soon freeze three feet thick. This kind of weather is logically not suitable for planting.

Song Xian replied, "It's said above that the greening roots provided by the greening district have some mutations and can be planted at any time. If you plant them now, as long as you follow their requirements, they will still take root in the ground and grow rapidly after winter. Grain seedlings can also be planted now, but they are a little more fragile. If you plant them now, you have to plant them in the basement. When the weather warms up, plant them on the surface. Both crops prefer heat and fear cold."

Li Ke knew that Song Xian had applied for two trucks of seedlings and five trucks of greening roots. She nodded. Since the matter had been handed over, she would not interfere too much: "Just do it as you wish. In the future, our communication mode will remain the same as before. You and Qiu Feng will manage your own bases, and I will only contact you when I need you. Of course, in the first two years, we have moved to a new place, and there may be many deficiencies in many aspects. If you need my help, you can also raise it. The forces of various bases are intertwined here. Although we don't want to do evil to others, we can't let others bully us. If there are really blind people who want to target us, I can provide you with any help I could before, and I can still do so in the future."

Song Xianying asked Li Ke if he wanted some grain seedlings and green roots. Next to Li Ke's house was the planting area and greening area.

Li Ke thought for a moment and said, "If you have extra greening roots, you can send me some. I'll plant the grain seedlings in the spring."

After the two people talked, Song Xian took his people back to the base in the Seventh Ring Road to handle affairs. The seedlings and greening roots he ordered would also be delivered to the Seventh Ring Road.

Two days later, Li Ke welcomed the vehicles delivering greening roots. There were quite a few vehicles, including three large trucks. At the same time, the first snow of winter also arrived. To be honest, this snow came much later than in previous years.

The leader of the team started to negotiate with Li Ke. Li Ke looked at the snow falling on him and said, "It's snowing now. Can we still plant?"

The leader smiled and said, "Of course we can. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent them here. But we need to spread the roots and seeds as soon as possible. It's best if we go there now. It will be more difficult to operate when the snow is thick."

Li Ke really wanted to ask the group of people in front of him to take the things back. There were only ten of them in total, and they chose such a snowy time, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Li Ke got out the tillers and other machines early on. In the end, she selected 35 people and took them to the green area in a truck.

The green area is next to the water source and a tent has been set up there for people who watch the machines to rest.

Li Ke's tiller, small excavator, bulldozer, and planting auxiliary equipment were all placed next to the tent, covered tightly with thermal insulation cotton cloth.

When Li Ke's men removed the cotton cloth, the ten-man team that delivered the greening roots were dazzled by the sight of these machines.

The team leader excitedly said to Li Ke: "With these machines, we can plant all these green roots in less than a day."

The snowflakes tended to get bigger, so Li Ke asked people to get moving quickly. Fortunately, the greening roots were really easy to plant. All they had to do was throw the dead roots half the size of a palm into the pit, sprinkle some fertilizer provided by the other party next to them, cover them with soil and water them.

While planting large green roots, Li Ke's people also received several hundred kilograms of grass seeds of different colors and sizes. There were no requirements. They just spread them on the turned over soil, just like spreading chemical fertilizers in the past.

Li Ke was watching these operations from the side, frowning and saying, "At this time, it's still this casual planting method. If they don't survive next year, it's not our problem. If the weather is too cold, I won't let my people come out to serve these things."

The team leader was not displeased by Li Ke's distrust, and continued with a smile: "Don't worry about it in winter, just let them hibernate and take root, and you will see green in spring. Of course, this time is a bit hasty, and if the growth is not good at that time, we will send people to do rooting and replanting. The development time given for the greening area is five to ten years, depending on the different seedlings. The greening roots here of Director Li Ji normally only need three years to develop and mature, and the time given is five years, which is enough."

After hearing this, Li Ke just said, "I'll wait and see."

The fields here had not been planted yet when suddenly someone came over on a motorcycle. Li Ke saw at a glance that this was the vehicle she had assigned to her construction site.

The man came up to them, took off his helmet, and said anxiously, "Base Commander, our people are fighting with the construction team of the family behind us."
