Zhao Changshu was not calm.

Even more uncalm than him is the secretary Hong Guangwu, this guy's face is green. If the old lady's words become a reality, Pingchuan County will not only become famous in the whole country, but also in the whole world.

Hong Guangwu just wanted to persuade and comfort the old lady, show affection to him, move him with reason, and let him not do this, but he heard the old man suddenly say to his wife: "Dead old woman, what nonsense are you talking about." Those farmers in Qionglou Town are all confused insects, are we also confused insects. Now that such a thing is happening, it is the county magistrate Zhao who is willing. Although I have never met County Magistrate Zhao, I believe that County Magistrate Zhao is a person, and those black-hearted well drilling teams wanted to fool us at the beginning, who punished them. It's not County Magistrate Zhao yet. These deep wells in our fields alone are worth more than our crops. Our dealer is out of production, and it's only been a year, and it's over if we grit our teeth, and we can starve to death. But these wells will keep us growing good crops for the rest of our lives. If anyone goes to the government and the county magistrate Zhao because of this year's grain production, everyone's conscience will be eaten by dogs. ”

The old lady saw that her wife was talking a little heavily, wiped her tears, and muttered: "You dead old man, I am to say, and you didn't really go to besiege the county government, what kind of epilepsy are you making." ”

Zhao Changshu listened to the old man's words, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist. He was really glad that Nangong Town had these sensible people, if there were no such people, I am afraid that Nangong Town would have been in chaos a long time ago.

In all fairness, in fact, these old farmers in Nangong Town have known that they are going to be extinct this year since the beginning of autumn. They are all farmers who have planted the land all their lives, and they can estimate in their hearts what the crops will look like and what kind of harvest they will have in the end. They found that their corn had corn on the cob, although it had grown well and had corn cobs, but there were no corn kernels on the cobs.

It's fatal.

But these farmers did not besiege the county government like the farmers in Qionglou Township, for two main reasons. The first and biggest reason is that the economic losses of these farmers are not as great as those of the farmers. The farmers in Qionglou Town, all who contract farms, each family has an investment of no less than 100,000 yuan. There are many who have invested more than 200,000 yuan, which can be described as a bankruptcy. So when they found out that something was wrong with their rabbits, they were very emotionally unstable, and finally they were used to besiege the county party committee and county government and beat the county magistrate Zhao Changlan.

The economic losses of the farmers in Nangong Town are a little smaller, and their corn income in previous years is about 30,000 yuan, including seed money, fertilizer money, labor money and so on. Since green new agriculture rejects pesticides, pesticides are omitted. Even if there is no harvest this year, the most you can do is lose that money. As long as there is a second income in the family, they can endure it and get through the year.

The second reason why there were no riots in Nangong Town was that the personnel composition of Nangong Town and Qionglou Town was different. The farmers in Qionglou Town have been breeding long-haired rabbits before, and they are businessmen who value interests more, while the farmers in Nangong Town are pure farmers, and they value human favors more.

In addition to these two reasons, there is another reason, the people of Nangong Town generally have a better impression of Zhao Changshu than Qionglou Town. This is mainly due to the fact that this spring, Zhao Changshu led people to personally carry out the acceptance of one well after another, which made the people of Nangong Town see the perseverance of Zhao Changlan, the young county magistrate, and also made them understand that County Magistrate Zhao really wanted to do something for everyone.

Zhao Changshu rubbed his reddened eyes vigorously, walked to the uncle's side, grabbed his hand, shook it a few times, and said, "Uncle, I am Zhao Changshu." Thank you for your understanding and support to me and the county government. I, Zhao Changlan, are here to give you a statement, and the county government will definitely not let everyone suffer this dumb loss in vain. I'll be sure to give you an explanation. ”

The old lady who was chopping corn stalks not far away listened to Zhao Changlan's words, and immediately looked at Zhao Changshu with round eyes, and then said with some panic: "What are you talking about." You are the county magistrate of Zhao Changlan. You are really County Magistrate Zhao. ”

"Auntie, he is really County Magistrate Zhao. I was his secretary. Hong Guangwu said with a smile.

"Oops. County Magistrate Zhao, what I just said is nonsense. That is, to complain, you must not take it to heart. But don't take it to heart. The old lady hurriedly said.

"Auntie, what you just said is right. I really blame this for this, and I'm sorry for everyone. I'm sorry for the folks in Nangong Town. But don't worry, I'll give you an explanation. We must not let our fathers and fellow villagers suffer. I also hope that the uncle and aunt can tell others what I just said, so that everyone will not worry. In addition, you two don't have to harvest these corn stalks without cobs yourself, I will let the machinery of the town agricultural machinery company help you harvest them. Zhao said categorically.

"Thank you so much County Magistrate Zhao. You say these corn stalks, if they are burned, they will cause a fire, and if they are cut down, they will delay the work too much, and they will tire people to death, and they will be harvested with a combine harvester, and it will cost money, alas, these days are about to make me sad. The old lady said with a smile, as if she had forgotten that their corn was out of production.

Zhao Changshu sighed with some emotion in his heart: "This is the people of Pingchuan County, even a little help, it makes them inexplicably grateful." ”

After Zhao Changshu comforted the old man a few more words, he returned to the car with Hong Guangwu and galloped in the direction of the party office of Nangong Town.

In the cornfield, the old lady looked at the direction where the super Hummer disappeared and asked her wife: "Old man, you said that this young man just now was really the county magistrate." ”

"Nonsense. Yes, definitely. I just remembered that I had seen him on TV. Alas, at a young age, it is not easy to provoke the livelihood of nearly one million people in Pingchuan County. The old man sighed.

"Old man, County Magistrate Zhao just said that the government would compensate us, do you say what he said. The old lady asked again.

"Absolutely. ”

"How do you know? ”

"Just because he's a county magistrate, he just shook my hand. In my life, I don't know how many county magistrates I have experienced, but the only one who has spoken to me and shook hands is him, the county magistrate Zhao, and I believe in this and his words. The old man said with a determined face, and as he spoke, he bent down and began to continue cutting corn stalks.

"You dead old man, didn't you hear what County Magistrate Zhao said. The agricultural machinery company is coming to harvest corn stalks for us for free, what else do you cut. Let's go, let's go home first and wait for news. The old lady said.

"Alas. The old man put away his sickle, looked up at the endless corn stalks in front of him, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Although Zhao Changshu had promised him just now that the county government would compensate them for their economic losses, the old man still felt sorry for his corn.

Professional farmers' feelings for crops are very simple, and their feelings for crops are sometimes difficult for outsiders to understand. When the crops are grown and harvested, they will be happy to sell the crops. But if the crops don't grow well and don't harvest, even if someone compensates them twice the economic loss, they will still feel sorry for the crop.

This affection for the crops of the peasants extends to the grain. Sometimes, when there is food left in the pot, they are obviously full, and it is not good for the body to eat again, but they are afraid that the next meal will be rancid, and they will still insist on eating the food, even if it is not good for the body.

A common saying among farmers is: "It's a pity to throw it away, but it's not a pity to eat it." "Sometimes they may go to take medicine and hang the bottle because they have eaten a bowl of rancid rice, and the money for the medicine and hanging bottle may be much greater than that bowl of rancid rice. But they won't settle the account, and even if they do, they might still eat it in the future.

It may seem a bit silly, but who can understand a peasant's feelings for land and food.

Xiao Pinxiang, secretary of the Qionglou Town Party Committee, didn't know that Zhao Changshu was coming, so when Zhao Changshu entered his office, he hurriedly stood up to greet Zhao Changlan.

Zhao Changshu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Comrade Huang Yunguang, call him over, let's talk together." ”

Xiao Pinxiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the town mayor Huang Yunguang to his office.

After Zhao Changshu saw that Huang Yunguang was also coming, he signaled to his secretary Hong Guangwu, who immediately put a plastic bag in his hand on the table.

Xiao Pinxiang and Huang Yunguang watched Hong Guangwu dismantle the plastic bag with surprised faces, and when Hong Guangwu untied the plastic bag, they saw that there were several sticks inside. The cob, though long, was very thin, and apparently, there were not a few corn kernels in it.

As soon as Xiao Pinxiang and Huang Yunguang looked at these corns, they immediately knew what Zhao Changshu was for. They already knew about the extinction of corn in Nangong Town this year, but they didn't report it to the top.

Both of them couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, worried that Zhao Changshu would criticize them for this matter, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that Zhao Changshu was not that kind of person. So the nervous mood relaxed a little.

"Two, you know about the corn production in Nangong Town this year. Zhao Changshu said with a calm face.

"Yes. In fact, not only corn is out of production, but soybeans are also out of production, and the plant factory in Baojiazhuang has also suffered huge economic losses, and their seeds are all rotting in the culture medium. Alas. Mayor Huang Yunguang said with a long sigh.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner. Zhao asked.

"Alas. County Magistrate Zhao, what's the use of reporting this kind of thing to the county. Could it be that the county will compensate everyone for their economic losses? That's hundreds of millions. That's not much to say. If the county can't compensate you for your economic losses, what's the use of us reporting it? It's nothing more than adding trouble to the county leaders. Lao Huang and I have been thinking about how to appease the emotions of the people for the past two days, and we originally planned to put this matter on our level. Xiao Pinxiang sighed and said.

"Confused. This kind of thing can be suppressed...... What if everyone is like the farmers in Qionglou Town and goes to besiege the county government? "Zhao Changshu's words were very harsh. This kind of thing is simply not something that can be suppressed
