Chapter 156: Peanut Seeds
The call was made by He Anjiang, saying that the higher-level government wanted to investigate the source of the company's peanut seeds.
Investigating the origin of peanut seeds?
Where did He Anjiang know the source of the seeds, so he could only ask Li Dongwen for help. Li Dongwen knew that He Anjiang couldn't handle this matter, so he immediately rushed back to Tongyuan.
The official person is the Seed Division of the Planting Management Department under the Ministry of Agriculture, which is responsible for seed management.
Coincidentally, a law called the "Seed Law" has just been promulgated this year, and this group of people came with Shang Fang's sword.
Since ancient times, China has not been held accountable by the people, and the officials have not been prosecuted. Taohuaxian Company was reported this time, and the whistleblower was a seed company in Tongyuan County.
The boss of this company is called Zhang Xiang, who has a little relationship with the Gyeongju Seed Company, and opened an agency in Tongyuan County, where the seeds are purchased from the state's company, and he can earn a little difference all year round, and he can also make a living.
The reason is that this seed company wants to buy peanuts from Peach Blossom Fairy Company, use them as seeds, and sell them to other places, which is a keen grasp of market opportunities.
However, contrary to expectations, the peanuts of the Peach Blossom Fairy Company are now taking the quota system of the store, you are a seed company, do you have a quota?
Of course, there is no quota, so the wishful thinking of the seed company has not been successful, and it has always held a grudge.
Then I went to the specialty store to inquire about the price of peanuts, the retail price was 18 yuan a catty, and your wholesale price was obviously 10 yuan a catty, and the retail sales almost doubled, so the resentment in my heart was even deeper.
Bai Yi, the head of Yangcaogou Township, quietly found Sun Yahui, the director of Taohuaxian Farm, and discussed buying a batch of peanuts to make seeds for farmers in the township.
Bai Township Chief does not want much, 30,000 catties of peanuts, our township will promote the planting of 3,000 acres of peanuts next year, 10 catties of seeds per mu is enough.
Sun Yahui: "Ten catties per mu is enough? When we planted in the spring, we used more than 20 catties per mu." ”
Bai Shan: "The seeds are so expensive, our farmers are not as lavish as you plant, we are ready to raise our own seedlings, and then plant seedlings, 10 catties per mu is enough." ”
Sun Yahui: "For the sake of the old classmate's face, I am in charge, and I will sell you 30,000 catties to make seeds, but you can only use them yourself." A few days ago, a seed company came to talk about it, and we didn't sell it. ”
Bai Shan: "Since you are an old classmate, can the price be cheaper, it is too expensive, and the farmers in the township can't afford it." ”
Sun Yahui: "Ten yuan a catty is already the lowest wholesale price, and we sell it at retail." ”
As a result, the peanut farmers in Yangcaogou Township received a seed price of eight yuan per catty, and the township subsidized the farmers with two yuan per catty of seeds.
This news was soon known by several other townships, and the township chiefs came to Sun Yahui one after another.
Sun Yahui was annoyed, and she couldn't be the master if there was too much, so she reported to He Anjiang.
He Anjiang felt that if farmers wanted to grow peanuts, they would inevitably form a competitive relationship with the Peach Blossom Fairy Company, but there was no way to stop it.
In fact, this time the townships came to buy seeds, this is a price problem, I heard that the farmers in Yangcaogou Township bought them for eight yuan a catty.
He Anjiang was worried about this matter, and suddenly a distinguished guest visited.
This distinguished guest is Gu Chunji, the magistrate of Tongyuan County, who came with the magistrate of Gu, as well as several township heads.
He Anjiang saw that this was the county magistrate who came to be a lobbyist.
The county magistrate's face still has to be given, so each township gave a quota of 30,000 catties, and none of the 20 townships in the county has fallen, all of which are 10 yuan a catty.
With a wave of his hand, the county subsidized 1 yuan per catty of seeds, and the township's own subsidy was decided by the townships themselves. If you want to plant peanuts next year, each township will keep its own seeds, and the county will not subsidize it anymore.
The county magistrate of Gu calculated an account, 20 townships and towns, a total of 600,000 catties of seeds, and the county subsidized 600,000 yuan.
If there is a bumper harvest of peanuts next year, it is 60,000 mu, it is said that the yield per mu of Taohuaxian Company has reached 2,000 catties, and the townships will calculate it according to the conservative yield of 1,000 catties, which is 60 million catties, 10 yuan per catty, that is, 600 million agricultural output value!
Last year, the total GDP of the county was less than 600 million. Of course, this year is different, only the peanuts of Peach Blossom Fairy Company have an output value of more than 20 billion!
The news was known by the seed company, because the "Seed Law" has just been promulgated this year, and the seed company is also studying, so it is desperate to find the legal provisions, and it is really found that the Peach Blossom Fairy Company has no seed business license at all, and it is an illegal sale of seeds.
Since you're illegal, of course I'm going to report it.
I wrote several report letters in a row, and the state, province, capital, and departments that could report were all reported.
They didn't send a report letter to the county, knowing that the county wouldn't care about it at all, and the county and the Peach Blossom Fairy Company were so good that they were about to wear a pair of pants, and it was useless to report, and it was easy to arouse vigilance.
After Li Dongwen learned about the situation, he bombarded the investigators out of the company, saying that our company does not sell seeds at all, and we sell dried fruits where we need to apply for any business license.
As for the origin of our seeds, that is a trade secret and has nothing to say.
However, once the government gets serious, it is not so easy to fool.
In the past few days, the seed department has been investigated, and the Peach Blossom Fairy Company has indeed sold 600,000 catties of peanut seeds to 20 townships and towns in the county, which is not a lot.
Illegal sale of 600,000 catties of seeds, this is not a small case, it is definitely a big case, if this is because of the seed problem, resulting in the farmers losing the harvest, who can afford the responsibility? !
The Seed Division of the Ministry of Agriculture led the team by a deputy director named Ma Weimin. After he touched the ash at the Peach Blossom Fairy Company, he went to the county agricultural bureau.
The county agricultural bureau heard that it was from the capital, but did not dare to slack off, this matter does not need to be investigated at all, the agricultural bureau knows better than anyone else, next year Tongyuan County is a big peanut planting county, they also expect this characteristic product to sell well all over the country.
In this matter, the Peach Blossom Fairy Company can pretend to be confused, and people can not admit that they are selling seeds, but the Agricultural Bureau can no longer talk nonsense with their eyes open, and farmers buy peanut seeds.
The county agricultural bureau can't hold back this matter, and if it causes losses, it will lose its black yarn hat. The director of the agricultural bureau hurriedly reported to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate Gu heard this, he was also shocked into a cold sweat. I only thought about the good, but I didn't think about the bad. No matter what, if you don't shoot 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens.
The county magistrate Gu explained to the director of the agricultural bureau: "I will give you a secret mission, quietly investigate the source of peanut seeds of the Peach Blossom Fairy Company, see how many peanuts their company plans to plant next year, where the seeds come from, and whether they use the peanuts they produce themselves this year as seeds." ”
"The people who came down from above, how do you reply?"
"Let's drag them first, and you investigate as soon as possible. ”
When he came out of the county magistrate's office, the director of agriculture was blind, what should be done about this?
