"Leave it alone, this thing can't be used as food. In the past few years, the county asked us to plant all kinds of things, so we planted so many farts. What's the result? It's all a pile of garbage. We might as well have planted a few tea seeds in the first place. I can exchange some money for fuel and salt." The thick-armed man driving a three-wheeler rushed over like a tiger descending a mountain, and pushed Ye Fan, as if he was trying to grab the axe.
"Don't move, he is the new county magistrate Ye in our county." When Old Master Li saw something was wrong, he rushed up and grabbed the thick-armed guy with all his strength.
"County Magistrate, okay, I'm just trying to find you, you bunch of bastard black-hearted wolves. Why don't you come here and compensate us?" The thick arm got angry and grabbed Ye Fan's clothes to commit the murder.
"Dad Niu, please tell Xiaozhu to stop, he is County Magistrate Ye." At this moment, Nong Yuanyuan rushed over, grabbed Niu Xiaozhu's hand and tried to pull it away.
"Stop it and get out of here." Niu Xiaozhu was angry, and regardless of it, he pushed Nong Yuanyuan hard with all his strength.
"Hey, you have something to say, why are you so handsy?" Ye Fan got angry, snorted coldly, and casually stroked Nong Yuanyuan with his arms, and firmly grabbed Niu Xiaozhu's big hand with his other hand. The guy got angry, and His feet flew up and kicked Ye Fan.
"Ba"
With a crash, Niu Xiaozhu, the kicker, fell down under the peach tree and fell on his back. This was naturally done intentionally by Ye Fan.
I was a little resentful that this boy dared to do something harsh to a girl named Nong Yuanyuan. He was so unmanly. So Ye Fan deliberately used his strength secretly to teach this boy a lesson.
"I'll kill you. You're a stupid official, and your conscience will be eaten by dogs." Niu Xiaozhu was furious, picked up a stone lump in the ground and pounced on Ye Fan like a mad dog.
"Xiao Zhu, stop..." Niu's dad reacted and rushed over and hugged his son's waist tightly. Afraid of hurting his old man, Niu Xiaozhu didn't dare to use any force, but his eyes were wide open.
"Niu Xiaozhu, if you want to blame County Magistrate Ye, you can't blame him. He just arrived. It was County Magistrate Jiang and County Magistrate Wei who asked you to plant peach trees before. How can you compete with County Magistrate Ye?" Master Li rushed over and shouted. .
"What's going on? Sit down and let's talk." Ye Fan frowned and handed over a Hongtashan, but Niu Xiaozhu didn't appreciate it and raised his head so high that he didn't even take the cigarette.
"Alas... County Magistrate Ye, Wei Buli came to our township a few years ago and said that the county would vigorously develop some kind of peach industry and build some bases, because our township is called Jintao Township. If more peaches are planted, there will be Only when you make money can you live up to the name of Jintaoxiang.
The township head secretary immediately forced the village director to distribute peach saplings from house to house. Moreover, the saplings were not cheap. A load of millet could only be exchanged for 10 saplings. At that time, they were guaranteed to sell under a guaranteed contract, and each household would be given a certain amount of nitrogen fertilizer. subsidy.
If you plant more, the government will provide more nitrogen fertilizer. They also said that this was the order of County Magistrate Jiang. At that time, everyone heard that there were many benefits, so they started planting.
Some people also dug tea leaves, cut down fir trees, and planted peach trees. At that time, several nearby villages were still greedy and went to the county to complain about why they were not allowed to plant. Some people also secretly cut down the tea leaves. My own fir, pine, and peach trees were planted.
Unexpectedly, it has been almost a year since the peach trees were planted, but they haven’t seen a pound of nitrogen fertilizer subsidy every year. Everyone went to the township chief, but he always pushed back, and it was too late. There has been no sign of nitrogen fertilizer for several years.
And things got worse later. A few years later, the peaches appeared, and they were growing very gratifyingly. Each one was as big as a fist and as red as a baby.
Everyone was looking forward to the harvest, but no one from the countryside came to buy it, and no one is taking care of it until now.
At that time, everyone rushed to the county to find Wei Buli. He said that the order was given by County Magistrate Niu at the time. Later, they went to County Magistrate Jiang. He said that Wei Buli took the lead in arresting the peach tree. Moreover, when he planted the peach tree, he I haven’t arrived in Machuan yet to serve as the county magistrate...
Anyway, he pushed him, he pushed him. As a result, the peaches couldn't be used as food. They were too cheap. The small traders came to the fields to collect them, and they only cost a few cents per pound.
Picking all the peaches from a tree would cost less than a few dollars. Unfortunately, because they couldn't afford fertilizer, everyone pooped their own pigs and people piled poop under the tree.
At that time, you had to queue up for the toilet in the primary school, and there was a fight once over grabbing excrement. Three people got into the cesspool and kept fighting. It stinked to death." Niu Adi said tremblingly, and he was so angry that he almost spat out blood. , even tears were about to flow out.
"It's all the consciences of you officials that have been eaten by dogs. In the third year when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, Wei Buli led a group of people, and I don't know who they were, and rushed to our village to praise the peach blossoms and pat them. I drew a lot of stuff, but we don’t understand it either.” Niu Xiaozhu said angrily.
"Is it a movie?" Ye Fan asked casually.
"I don't know, anyway, there is a group of people, Yiyi, and they are holding many long things that look like cameras." Niu Xiaozhu snorted angrily.
"It can't be a gimmick created by the county leaders for the sake of making a movie. It's tricking people into planting peaches just to see the peach blossoms. This is too sinister. I need to investigate it." Ye Fan secretly thought about it.
He persuaded: "Dad Niu, don't cut it down yet. The county will find a way for you this year. It would be a pity to cut it down. It will take several years for this peach tree to grow into a tree." Ye Fan persuaded quite sincerely. road.
"Don't cut it off, you give us food to eat," Niu Xiaozhu snorted coldly from the side.
"Niu Xiaozhu, I know you are angry. The benefits of these peaches are great. In addition to being delicious, they can also be made into dried peaches and canned peaches. The fruits and leaves contain almond extract, which can be used as medicine. Use." Ye Fan explained.
"Everyone knows this. Who will make the dried food and who will make the canned food? Are you coming? If you, County Magistrate Ye, build a canning factory, we won't cut it down. Everyone can talk about this nonsense, just like Wei Buli. They are deceived. We have been deceived once, and we will never be deceived twice." Niu Xiaozhu shouted.
"Don't cut it down yet, I'm serious. I'll hold a meeting in the countryside later and gather all the folks who grow peaches. Let's discuss what to do first. If we don't come up with a solution by then, it won't be too late for you to cut it down. Believe it or not, you can chop it down if you want, just don't cry then, hum." Ye Fan snorted coldly, ignored Niu Xiaozhu, got in the car, and shouted: "Go to the township government."
"Believe me, you're a fool. None of the officials are good, chop, chop, chop, chop..." Niu Xiaozhu became fierce. He threw away his arm and started to chop, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
"Director Agricultural Director, what's going on with these peaches?" Ye Fan asked with his face watering.
"I don't know very well. It seemed that Deputy Secretary Wei was in charge at that time. He was not the secretary at that time, but just the deputy county magistrate.
But the county probably agreed, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to catch them. There were a lot of peach trees planted, and almost every household in Jintao Township had them, turning the mountains and wild fields into peach forests. There were even some at that time
The common people laid waste their fields and planted peach trees.
Moreover, each household may plant at least a few dozen plants, and even some large households may plant thousands of plants. I heard that some people in nearby Yuehu Township and Xiangshan Township also plant stolen plants.
There are so many peach trees all over the mountains and plains that you can't even see them. If it comes to the spring flowering season, the gorgeous peach sea that can be seen at a glance is really spectacular and eye-catching. It's a pity that it's all like this now. This peach sea
, but it has become a big harm to the farmers of Machuan." Nong Yuanyuan sighed.
"The beautiful scenery is great, but it can't be used as food. Let's see if we can build a food processing factory to sell some of it. Otherwise, it would be a pity to cut it down." Ye Fan shook his head, feeling that there are really many problems in Machuan County.
, basically all villages and towns have broken problems of one kind or another. Moreover, the problem is not small. Even if the county magistrate himself is extremely busy, he may not be able to handle it.
Soon we arrived at the township government station.
Pan Hongli, the secretary of Jintao Township, is an old man, probably about forty years old. He has a pockmarked face, and the villagers usually call him Pan Mazi behind their backs, but he agrees with the county name of Machuan.
The township head, Cai Zemin, wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks like a gentle scholar.
Pan Mazi had a stiff smile on his face, so he knew it was fake, and the smile was indeed not very sincere. Ye Fan vaguely saw a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Cai Zemin was silent, just shaking hands with Ye Fan and greeting him politely.
"Secretary Pan, I won't say much. I just found many people cutting down peach trees for firewood on the roadside. I wonder if the villagers noticed it?" Ye Fan asked in a calm tone.
"Haha, just chop it. It can burn for a while even if it's a match. What can you do if you don't chop it?" Pan Mazi looked indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, the secretary of the township party committee.
"Mr. Cai, what do you think?" Ye Fan turned to ask the gentle Mr. Cai beside him.
"What can I do if I don't cut it? It looks uncomfortable, ugh..." Cai Zemin sighed, with a trace of melancholy on his face.
"Humph, you asked people to plant it, and now they are cutting it for firewood, and you don't have any reaction at all?" Ye Fan's face immediately became serious. Seeing the attitude of the second-in-command, he felt really angry.
Already.
"It was planted under the instructions of the county leaders. We couldn't do anything about it at the beginning. How could we not plant it?" Secretary Pan put all the blame on the county in one sentence, but he did it completely. It didn't mean he had anything to do with it.
Son.
"Stop talking, Mayor Cai, you immediately notify all village cadres to come back for a meeting. The village chief, branch secretary, militia company commander, cashier and accountant are all called." Ye Fan waved his hand and said, fearing that it would be too late.
"What kind of meeting are you having? County Magistrate Ye, you have to have a reason, right?" Pan Mazi glanced at Ye Fan, neither salty nor indifferent, not anxious at all. This was a bit strange, as if Ye Fan, the county magistrate, still had to
As if asking for his opinion. It seems that this dog is a difficult owner.
"It's about cutting down trees." Ye Fan snorted coldly without raising his head.
"What's going to happen? It's a waste of energy." Pan Mazi came over with just one sentence.
"What are you talking about? What is a waste of energy? The peach trees you asked the people to plant so hard are now cut down, and you won't give an explanation." Ye Fan took a bite from the table and turned to Cai.
The township head said: "Notify me immediately. There will be a meeting all night long. No absences are allowed. Names will be called."
"Yes, I'll go," Mayor Cai replied simply, telling the staff on the side to go.
"County Magistrate Ye, do you know how many people there are in the village, including branch secretaries, militia company commanders, accountants and cashiers? If they want to eat when they come back, there are more than 100 of them, and I'm afraid there will be no less than 200 government cadres and workers."
This meal is a big expense. If dinner costs 10 yuan per person, it will cost 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Including accommodation and transportation, it will not fall short of 4,000 yuan. Our economy in Asachuan is not good.
Jintaoxiang is extremely poor, so if you can save some money, it's worth it." Pan Mazi was unhappy, and he opened his mouth and actually shouted out.
"No matter how much money we spend, we have to hold this meeting. Tell the government canteen to buy some food and come back. We will have a light meal in the evening without drinking." Ye Fan told Cai Zemin.
"Let's go ahead, but County Magistrate Ye will have to reimburse the money for tonight's meal. Our township has no money and can't afford it." Pan Mazi didn't give Ye Fan any face, and he was so arrogant. That big pockmark
He shook his head in a playful manner.
In fact, this guy doesn't want to hold a peach conference at all. It's a powder keg that will probably explode if he pokes it.
Recently, I saw that villagers were cutting down trees, and from time to time, people would come to the township government to make trouble. Some people even dragged the cut peach trees to the township government. Pan Mazi had no time to hide, so he had no time to relax.
Peach Conference.
Moreover, Pan Mazi had a very good relationship with Wei Buli, the county Party and Mass Secretary, and this peach was originally a hard task assigned by Wei Buli.
Pan Mazi also tried his best to plot against Wei Buli, using means of suppression, coercion, deception, etc. to complete the important task of planting 400,000 peach trees in the entire township as requested by Wei Buli, the deputy county magistrate at the time.
There are only about 4,000 households in Jintao Township, and each household has an average of one plant.
Of course, some villagers who were deceived later planted hundreds of trees, and some even planted dozens of trees.
In total, nearly 500,000 peach trees have been planted in Jintao Township alone. In addition, several nearby townships have also followed suit, and it is estimated that there are no less than 600,000 peach trees in the county.
When the peach blossoms are in bloom, the Golden Peach Township is truly a sight to behold. It's like entering the peach sea, so red and beautiful all over again.
However, when the harvest season comes, all the peaches in the mountains are turned into garbage. The ground, in the grass, on the roadside, and in the fields are all covered with rotten peaches. When the time comes, you will definitely be fainted by the rotten smell.
You cannot pass by.
Therefore, the people of Machuan have recently called Jintaoxiang the Rotten Peach Township. It is no wonder that it is difficult to count how many peaches can be produced by 600,000 adult fruit trees. How many peaches can the people of Machuan eat, let alone that stuff?
Too much will cause diarrhea.
At first, children liked to pick and eat them secretly, but later no one took care of them. Even the children were so disgusted when they saw the stuff that they couldn't even eat. The children in school used the peaches as shot put and threw them around, and they were so happy.
Of course, Ye Fan was also alert to something, so he took decisive action.
