Chapter 63: Let's Try It
Two days passed quickly, and today was the day of voting for the Izumo Village Mayor's caucus meeting.
According to the regulations, there must be at least two candidates for the election of village heads, and the candidates were elected at today's pre-election meeting.
In order to be legitimate, the caucus must be attended by more than half of the electorate.
So Wang Shouren has already arranged in advance all his relatives, friends and minions, and he must all come today.
The Wang family is a big clan in Izumo Village, and the people of their clan alone account for nearly a quarter of the entire village's population, which is also an important reason why the Wang family father and son have been able to control the head of Izumo Village for nearly 30 years.
But thirty years alone was not enough to satisfy Wang Shouren, and he still had to pass on the position of village chief to his son.
Before coming today, he had already said in his private activities that when everyone voted for candidates, only he and his son Wang Dabao were allowed to vote.
That's right, Wang Shouren wants to make the election of the village chief a stage for him and his son, and let the village committee of Izumo Village become a two-person rotation for their Wang family.
If there are no big variables, his idea is very likely to come true.
Wang Shouren sat on the rostrum, and when he saw that the people were almost there, he nodded to the people who came down from the township to supervise the people around him, then stood up and walked to the podium.
"Brothers and sisters, I don't need to introduce myself, I came today, not to mention anything else, I have been the village chief of our village for more than ten years, I get up earlier than the chickens every day, sleep later than the dogs, how I do is everyone can see, I think, I still bring a lot of practical benefits to everyone, I hope you can continue to trust me in the future!
"Boom la la ......"
As soon as his words fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
The vast majority of the people who came here received money and things from Wang Shouren, which was not a small amount, and of course face had to be given.
Moreover, if nothing else, this year's village chief will be Wang Shouren, at this time, his minions are probably staring, and whoever does not applaud will inevitably be retaliated against in the future.
Wang Shouren nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Next, anyone else who wants to run for village chief can come up and talk to the big guys. ”
After speaking, he looked at Wang Dabao who was sitting in the corner.
Wang Dabao stood up confidently and was about to go on stage, but was preempted by a figure.
The person who took the lead was Liu Yun, and she walked to the podium with her head held high: "I also want to run for the village head!"
Wang Shouren didn't expect Liu Yun to come back to run for the village head, and was stunned for a moment: "You also want to run for the village head?
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me?" Liu Yun laughed.
Wang Shouren was speechless.
Liu Yun meets all the legal requirements for running for village chief, but according to convention, village chiefs are all men, and there are very few female village chiefs.
Anyway, you can't choose to let you participate, what am I afraid of!
Wang Shouren finally figured it out, so he said with a smile: "Our Izumo Village is indeed enlightened by the people, and now even such a delicate and weak woman has to run for the village head, and I see who will dare to say that our election is unfair in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
There was also laughter from the audience, and everyone could hear the mockery in Wang Shouren's words.
"Yes, if I become the village head, others will have to say that our village's election is fair!" Liu Yun walked to the back of the podium with a smile, and did not take Wang Shouren's words seriously.
Wang Shouren's face changed suddenly.
He walked slowly to the seat of the rostrum, and at the same time glanced at a few of his henchmen without a trace.
Do you still want to be the village chief?
"Hello folks, I'm Liu Yun, everyone should know each other, I came today, I also want to run for the village chief, I hope you can support me, thank you very much. ”
Liu Yun said very sincerely, but compared with Wang Shouren, there are still some dry goods.
She didn't say what benefits she could bring to everyone if she became the village chief, because she really couldn't say anything.
"What is this?
Someone was already screaming.
"Yes, you can't do anything, and you dare to run for village chief?"
"I guess I saw that it was good to be the village chief, and I wanted to reap the benefits!"
Driven by Wang Shouren's minions, others also began to discuss.
Originally, it was easy for people to have a good impression when such a beautiful beauty as Liu Yun came to run for the village head, but in the face of interests, everyone would not think about that aspect anymore.
After all, they chose the village chief, not a vase, it doesn't matter if it looks good or not, the key is to be able to benefit everyone!
"The vase rolls down, we don't want the vase village chief!"
Someone had already taken the lead in shouting.
Wang Shouren's face showed a sneer, he did not stop the chaos at the scene, on the contrary, the more chaotic the scene, the more embarrassed Liu Yun's woman became.
Seeing that the scene was out of control, Lu Fan suddenly jumped to Liu Yun's side: "Everyone, please listen to me!"
He didn't speak into the microphone, he didn't shout at the top of his voice, it seemed as if he was just saying a word, but completely suppressed all the noise.
"I'm Lu Fan, I can tell you here that I have developed a new type of tomato and pepper, the yield is twice as high as the traditional one, and it is more delicious, as long as my sister-in-law becomes the village head, I will take out this new seed and bring the whole village to get rich together!"
As soon as he said this, many people really quieted down.
The vast majority of those present here are peasants, and for peasants, land is the foundation.
A new product that can double the output is definitely a treasure in the eyes of all, and now someone has taken out such a precious treasure in order to become the village chief, which is also amazing!
If this is true, it is much more powerful than the money and things that Wang Shouren sent from door to door!
Wang Shouren's face on the rostrum suddenly became gloomy, he didn't expect that such a variable would appear today.
But he's not going to sit still.
"Why should we believe you?"
"Yes, we've never heard of this kind of thing, so we can't believe it!"
Several of Wang Shouren's minions screamed, trying to confuse the villagers' judgment.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I brought some here today, so I can give you a taste first. ”
Lu Fan waved his hand, and the Gou brothers walked out with a bag and handed out a red tomato and an emerald green pepper to each of the villagers present.
"I planted these on the hillside behind the village, everyone can taste them, you don't have to be polite!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
