As soon as they heard that the provincial governor had come in person, he still took the initiative to go into the peasant masses to solve the problem, and they immediately agreed, and soon the peasants elected 18 deputies and entered the small restaurant, waiting for Governor Tang Cheng to arrive.

Zhang Shengju prepared the time and space in front, and then called Yu Zhongyun back, and Yu Zhongyun went to the peasant brothers with Tang Cheng.

In this matter, Tang Cheng still has a good impression of Yu Zhongyun.

Yu Zhongyun's plan is also to gain Tang Cheng's trust step by step, and then, at the most critical time, give Tang Cheng a fatal blow!

You must know that the biggest blow to people is the defection of friends, and Yu Zhongyun knows this well.

Under the leadership of Tang Cheng, a group of bureaucrats left the heavily protected headquarters and came to the peasants who were making trouble.

Soon, the news that the governor was coming to the peasant masses reached the peasant camp, and everyone immediately became emotionally boiling. Some peasants also said: "I heard that this is a new provincial governor!" Everyone happily accepted Zhang Shengju's suggestion, and all the peasants, except for the 18 deputies, stepped back to give the provincial governor a safe space to talk.

Tang Cheng met with 18 peasant representatives in the small restaurant at the entrance of this Jibu grain depot.

Tang Cheng looked around at the 18 peasant representatives, Tang Cheng smiled, calm, Tang Cheng said: "I am used to seeing the first group of people, and I know everyone's voice, let me introduce myself first, my name is Tang Cheng, I am our newly arrived governor of Hanjiang Province, oh, or an acting governor." However, the acting governor is also the governor of the province, and he can help you solve the problem, so you can all talk about it, why do you want to confront our government in this way? What do you want? Bring it up and tell me. ”

The peasant representatives looked at each other, and soon, the old man Wang came forward and said: "Governor, you must take care of the life and death of our peasants!"

Tang Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I, the governor, am the people's governor, not the official." I am here to help the people solve their difficulties, and if you have any difficulties, just say it. ”

Wang Laohan said: "Our Hanjiang Province is a large grain-producing province, since ancient times it has been a granary, our Gunan City is also mainly growing grain, there is no other sideline business to do, all along, grain prices are quite stable, but this year is different, some time ago, the price of grain in our Hanjiang Province, that is plummeting, a pound of wheat can no longer be sold for one yuan! This is a bitter thing for our people who farm the land! In this way, after calculating in this way, excluding the money for pesticides, seeds and fertilizers, we have worked hard to plant one acre of land, and the harvest in exchange is less than 100 yuan! How can we old peasants live!"

Another peasant representative shed tears and said: "What is even more miserable is that this is not the end, 7 cents per catty of wheat is already the lowest price in history, but my children have to study and pay tuition, and my mother has to spend 7 cents a pound to see a doctor, and I want to sell it! However, the Jibu grain depot refused to accept my grain and did not buy my grain!"

The peasant deputies cried and complained: "After hearing that the Jibu Grain Depot would not buy grain, all the small traders and peddlers who bought grain sat on the ground and lowered the price of a pound of wheat to 5 cents! How can we peasants live! This is forcing us to rebel!"

The peasant representative cried and complained: "The price of corn in our Hanjiang Province has also fallen to a record low, and it is less than 6 cents!"

The peasant representative said: "What is the difference between this and drinking the blood of our peasants!"

"The most bitter thing is still our croppers!"

Tang Cheng listened to the peasants' voices, his face was heavy, and when the peasant representatives had finished pouring out their hearts, Tang Cheng should have expressed his position.

Tang Cheng stood up, took a pack of napkins from the secretary's handbag, and then Tang Cheng took them out one by one and handed them to the 18 peasant representatives present to wipe their tears.

Tang Cheng turned around and called this Zhang Shengju from Gunan City, Tang Cheng asked: "Lao Zhang, tell me, farmer brothers, this grain price has plummeted, is it real?"

Zhang Shengju was not sure, so he turned his head and called Mao Kaiwu, director of the Municipal Grain Bureau, over to ask about it, Mao Kaiwu did not dare to tell a lie in front of Tang Cheng, and Director Mao said: "Governor, during this time, the price of grain in our Hanjiang Province has indeed plummeted. ”

Tang Cheng nodded, and asked again: "Is the Jibu Grain Depot refusing to accept grain this time?"

Mao Kaiwu nodded stubbornly and said: "This problem is because all the granaries of our Jibu Grain Depot are full and can no longer be purchased." ”

Tang Cheng said with interest: "Oh, the grain depot is full. How did you know that the granaries in the granary were full? Did you go to the granary and see it yourself?"

When Mao Kai heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly said: "I didn't go to see it on the spot, I, I also listened to what Ma Yide, the director of the grain depot, said." It is said that the granary is full. ”

Tang Cheng stood up and said, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak, our current position is at the door of this Jibu grain depot, we can go to the grain depot to take a look in person." Eighteen peasant representatives can also come with me. Then, Tang Cheng arranged: "Invite this grain depot director to me and let him lead us." ”

Ma Yide was soon invited to the scene to confront Tang Cheng and other peasant representatives. Ma Yide's face was sallow, trembling all over, his face was extremely bad, and his expression was nervous, Tang Cheng asked him: "Ma Yide, what are you nervous about? I'm not a tiger, you said, the granary of Jibu Granary is full, and it is impossible to buy grain, so let's go to the granary to see, how is it a full method?"

Ma Yide and everyone had no choice but to lead Tang Cheng and others into this Jibu grain depot.

When they got inside, Ma Yide and Lu Lijiang glanced at each other several times. Of course, Ma Yide will lead Tang Cheng to see the full granaries. After looking at a few warehouses, it is indeed full.

However, they couldn't hide this trick from Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng didn't just follow the guidance of Ma Yide and Lu Lijiang, Tang Cheng casually pointed to the granary in the east, and he must go to this No. 9 granary to see.

Ma Yide had no choice but to be tough, open this No. 9 granary, and let Tang Cheng and others go in to see. The entire huge granary No. 9 was empty! There was no food at all!

Tang Cheng's face was not good-looking!

Ma Yide's legs were weak, and he fell to the ground at once, and then, getting up from the ground, said: "Governor, governor, I, I was wrong, I made a mistake in bureaucratic style, I don't know yet, there is still a spare granary here!"
