Walking into Guilin Town, along the road to Gushan Village, the reporter saw the small yellow flowers blooming on both sides of the road, like rape flowers, floating a faint fragrance. According to nearby villagers, this is not rape, but Chinese herbal medicine-Banlangen. Li Sen, a 50-year-old villager from Gushan Village, used to make a living by growing traditional crops such as corn and wheat. At the beginning of spring this year, I heard that the town would develop traditional Chinese medicine and transfer land to plant Radix Isatidis. After several hesitations, Leeson was going to give it a try.

"the township government came to the village to say that the land was transferred to plant some Radix Isatidis, and the economic benefit was high, so they began to grow it."

Li Sen is an expert in traditional crop cultivation, but he is confused and confused about the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to help farmers master the planting technology of medicinal materials, the Guilin town government contacted experts and professors of traditional Chinese medicine in provinces and cities to carry out agricultural science and technology information services for farmers from time to time.
