Yongzhou County is located in the northwest of Yongzhou City, bordering Donghu District, one of the two urban districts of Yongzhou City. A large river runs through the center of Yongzhou County.
The county party committee compound is located not far from the river. Several members of the Yongzhou County Party Committee Standing Committee were standing in the yard. Some were smoking silently, while others were talking in low voices. County party secretary Li Chengfu raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time. Today, he received a call
The Municipal Party Committee informed that Yang Xueguang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor, will come to Yongzhou County to inspect the spring plowing situation.
"I'm coming!"
I don't know who called out. Li Chengfu looked up and saw a small car driving slowly in the distance, which looked like a lone figure.
Yongzhou City officials now know that Deputy Mayor Yang Xueguang has a habit. When he comes to inspect, he always does so in a simple manner and does not need to be accompanied by any department.
In the past, Yang Xueguang was just the deputy mayor in charge of agricultural work. He wanted to see what the countryside looked like and what the current situation of agricultural production was. Now that Yang Xueguang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the weight of his words will be different. If Yang Xueguang is a
If you are not satisfied with saying that at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, the people below will be miserable.
The car stopped slowly. Li Chengfu took two steps, stretched out his hand to open the door, and stepped back slightly to make room. Yang Xueguang stepped out of the car with a smile.
Li Chengfu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Yang Xueguang: "Hello, Mayor Yang, welcome Mayor Yang to come to our Yongzhou County to inspect and guide our work!"
Yang Xueguang nodded with a smile and reached out to shake Li Chengfu's hand gently. Yongzhou County Magistrate Peng Yuqing also stepped forward and held Yang Xueguang's hand tightly: "Hello, Mayor Yang, welcome to Yongzhou to inspect and guide the work!"
"Thank you, comrades, for keeping us waiting for so long!" Yang Xueguang let go of Peng Yuqing's hand and glanced at the faces of the Standing Committee members. Everyone shook their heads, bent over, and showed their satisfied smiles.
"Mayor Yang, you have been tired from traveling. Why don't you go to the office to have a glass of water and take a rest?"
Li Chengfu said with a flattering smile.
Yang Xueguang nodded and walked towards the county party committee office building.
Yongzhou County Party Committee Office Building, Standing Committee Meeting Room.
Liang Zaixi, the deputy county magistrate in charge of agricultural work, gave a detailed report on the agricultural work in Yongzhou County. His report was very comprehensive. It not only included various aspects of agricultural work, but also included the specific situation of spring plowing that is currently underway.
Yang Xueguang listened very carefully. He had an account of the agricultural work in the counties under Yongzhou City. Although Liang Zaixi's report contained some exaggerations, it basically said the same thing, and it was not too outrageous.
After the report, Yang Xueguang said a few words briefly and then proposed to go to the countryside to see the spring plowing scene and learn about the situation from the farmer brothers.
Li Chengfu paid great attention to Yang Xueguang's request and personally accompanied Yang Xueguang to inspect Daguan Town. Daguan Town is a relatively developed town in Yongzhou County, close to Donghu District of Yongzhou City. Usually, Daguan Town is the first choice target for inspections by superiors.
.
Public Security Bureau Chief Guo Zhida's car was clearing the way in front, and Yang Xueguang's car was walking in the middle. Li Chengfu's car was at the back. Li Chengfu was a little nervous. He was walking on thin ice and facing an abyss. The level of attention he paid to all kinds of things was unparalleled.
We are prepared for emergencies. Usually, many leaders come to inspect the work. They usually make a general visit and act out the script arranged by the county party committee.
But Yang Xueguang is not such a leader. Every time he comes down to inspect the work, he makes temporary decisions on where to go and what to see. He never follows the script arranged by the county committee. Every time he inspects a lot of things
Problem, fortunately, Yang Xueguang only operated on the agricultural work he was in charge of.
“Secretary, Mayor Yang has gotten off the car!”….
The secretary sitting in the passenger seat suddenly pointed forward and yelled, startling Li Chengfu who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed to concentrate. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked through the front window.
Seeing that Yang Xueguang's car had stopped ahead, Yang Xueguang got out of the car and walked towards a paddy field beside the highway.
Li Chengfu was shocked. He hurriedly opened the car door and walked out. From a distance, he saw Yang Xueguang's secretary Chen Mingfei coming to greet him: "Secretary Li, the mayor said that we won't be allowed to go through and let us wait in the car!"
"Waiting in the car?" Li Chengfu was surprised. He was also going to take Yang Xueguang to the Daguan Town Government to do some work and listen to the report. Then the time was almost up. Let's have some drinks at noon. Yang Xueguang's inspection
Even if it was over, he never dreamed that Yang Xueguang would get off the bus halfway.
"Well, the mayor said we'll wait in the car!" Chen Mingfei glanced at Li Chengfu and said one word after another. Li Chengfu nodded helplessly: "Okay, we'll wait in the car!"
The field ridge is a bit narrow. Yang Xueguang is wearing a suit and leather shoes, but this does not affect his ability to walk quickly on the field ridge.
At the other end of the field ridge, several old farmers were sitting on the field ridge smoking, holding pipes and chatting about family affairs. When they saw Yang Xueguang in a suit and leather shoes dancing forward on the narrow field ridge, all eyes were focused in an instant.
It came to him.
"How many old people are resting here?"
Yang Xueguang smiled, walked to the old farmers, took out cigarettes from his pocket, gave each of them a cigarette, then lit one himself, took a puff and squatted down.
Several old men took Yang Xueguang's cigarettes, each with a happy face. One of them, an old man with white hair, took a deep breath and nodded: "Good cigarettes are different. You can smell the shredded tobacco through the paper."
get!"
"It seems that the old man is very knowledgeable about cigarettes!" Yang Xueguang laughed: "By the way, old man, I want to ask you something. I am in the cooking oil business. Do you sell soybeans here?"
"You're here to buy soybeans. No wonder, you speak Mandarin!" The white-haired old man smiled and looked at Yang Xueguang: "Young student, I think you are in the wrong place. We young people
For a small family, every family grows soybeans for their own consumption. I heard that a lot of soybeans have been planted in Cangyang County, you can go there and take a look!"
"It's a little early to go now. They only planted the soybeans during the Qingming Festival. It's only been a month now. If I go now, I can see the bean sprouts all over the mountains and plains!"
The other old man took a good drag on his cigarette and glanced at the old man with the white beard.
The old man with the white beard also glared at him: "You know what the heck, people who do business have to be at the front. By the time all the soybeans in Cangyang County are produced, it will be too late!"
"That's not necessarily true. This time in Cangyang County, the county encouraged them to plant soybeans, peanuts, corn, etc., and the government advanced money to buy pesticides and fertilizers. The scale must be large. Now I heard that the crops are growing very well.
I don’t know if the things can be sold when the autumn harvest comes. Housheng, it’s just right for you to go to Cangyang now, they will definitely welcome you!”
Another old man saw that the two old men with white beards were talking enthusiastically and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Those who are officials can't just take a photo and put it in the newspaper to publicize their achievements. Will they care whether the things grown by farmers can be sold or not?"
The old man with a white beard took the words, glanced at Yang Xueguang and said with a smile: "So, young man, you go to Cangyang County now and make sure they are very willing to sell all the beans to you!"
Yang Xueguang asked with a surprised look on his face. Seeing several old farmers finish smoking their cigarettes, he immediately took out the cigarettes and put them in the hands of the white-haired old man: "Old man, do you still have the good thing that the government pays for farmers to farm the land?"...
.
The white-haired old man was very satisfied with Yang Xueguang's alertness and nodded. While passing out cigarettes to several old men, he said: "Yes, this is the fault of a new deputy mayor in our city. This kind of good thing has never happened before.
Yeah! I heard that he was harmed because of this?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that old guy Lu Zhongqiu is harming Mayor Yang. Mayor Yang spoke good words for us farmers in Cangyang, saying that agricultural taxes should not be collected, etc. They said that now everyone only knows Mayor Yang,
I don’t know where Secretary Lu is!”
"Yes. Yes, that's it!"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't someone report him for corruption last time?"
"Bullshit, that's all bullshit. Have you ever seen corrupt officials treating us farmers as human beings? Have you ever seen corrupt people working so hard to help farmers find ways to make money?"
Yang Xueguang was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that his image in the minds of farmers would be like this, and that it had not changed significantly because of Tan Min's false accusation.
"Old man, do you think this method of the government paying farmers to cultivate the land is good?"
"Okay, why is it not good? I told our village party secretary and asked him to report to the town. Our village will do the same next year. The government will pay and we farmers will contribute. In the end, the money from the sale will go to us. Such a good thing
What fool wouldn’t do it?”
The white-haired old man became excited and his saliva flew everywhere, almost splashing into Yang Xueguang's face.
"Not necessarily. The government is definitely not willing to do so. Look at the cadres in our counties and towns. They don't go out every day. They don't get the sun or the rain. They just brag in the office. How comfortable this life is. If
Just like Cangyang did, the cadres were not allowed to go to our township often. They would not be happy. Do you think they are all good officials like Mayor Yang? Meeting a Mayor Yang is considered a blessing for us farmers in Yongzhou!
"
"Just like what happened at Li Facai's house in Liushu Village, if there was an official like Mayor Yang, he would definitely arrest the Tan family and his son and put them in jail. There is no need for Zhou Li to run to the province when nothing happens.
Run to the capital?"
Yang Xueguang was shocked. It seemed that what Guo Zhida had reacted to last time should be true. He took a long puff of cigarette, calmed down his mood, and pretended not to care and asked: "Old man, if you are asked to come,
Choice, are you willing for the government to do this?"
"Yes, I must be willing. No fool would be willing to do such a good thing. You don't have to pay a penny and you can make money as long as you work hard. Where can you find such a good thing!"
"Yes, now all the farmers in Yongzhou are envious of the farmers in Cangyang, and they all say they have a good life!"
"It would have been nice if our Secretary Li and County Magistrate Peng had had the foresight. I heard that when Mayor Yang started doing this, few county leaders were willing to do it. Hey, we farmers, this is the fate. Which county
If we had a good leader, the farmers in any county would be lucky!"
"Don't worry, old man, everything will be fine!"
Yang Xueguang laughed and stood up: "By the way, old man, when you say that, I have to go to Cangyang to take a look at the situation. Thank you!"
"Young man, thank you for the cigarette!" (To be continued)
