Two days later, in the conference room of the village committee compound, Chang Jiucheng held a plenary meeting of village cadres, and the sesame officials in the village all arrived in advance and took their seats one after another. Seeing that the secretary was still looking through the printed documents with a tense face a few minutes before the official start of the meeting, everyone knew that there would be a big announcement at the meeting. Among them, two people were uneasy, one named Chang Xiaoshan and the other named Wang Shunyang, both of whom had served in the previous village committee team, and the position of secretary at that time was always held by Chang Jinzhu, his relatives, and party henchmen. Now it is obvious that "Lao Jiu" is going to do it against Chang Jinzhu's family, in case he throws them on a tricky errand, and then uses them to fight Liwei, the two of them really can't eat and walk around.

"Comrades, be still. Chang Dachun, the old village chief next to Chang Jiucheng, looked at the watch on his wrist and said to everyone, "The meeting will start now, first of all, please ask Secretary Chang to talk about the things to be discussed today." Chang Jiucheng bowed slightly to the old village chief, and then raised his head and said loudly: "Comrades, let's hold this meeting today to discuss a package of important matters. In fact, this matter has been said again and again in the past, that is, to find a way to get rid of poverty and become rich, so that the villagers can become well-off as soon as possible. Don't be afraid of calluses in your ears and eyes, yes, you have been shouting such words for almost 20 years, but have you achieved results in 20 years? Even if there is, it is only concentrated on a few people and not the whole village?"

Chang Jiucheng "snorted" in his heart, he had talked to the village chief in private, and he didn't want to recruit these two guys into the new village committee. "I have done small things with the previous bad team, but the problem is that their relationship with Chang Jinzhu's family is not ordinary. However, in recent years, there has been more and more outflow of people from the village, and it is difficult to find veterans who are young and understand village affairs, and the village chief proposed that "these two people did not follow Chang Jinzhu's family to do anything too immoral", so he had no choice but to adopt them.

After a while, Chang Jiucheng continued: "You all know that my Lao Jiu is not a fake trick that just talks but doesn't practice, and now I mention these old sayings because I want to put them into practice, make them a reality, and make the life of the old and young masters in the village better." The villagers chose me, and what I just said is my goal in the past few years. In order to achieve this goal, I have a plan, and today I ask you to help the staff officers, whether this plan is feasible or not. He took out a stack of bound printed documents—a draft drawn up with Liu Yuyong—and taught everyone to pass them on, and each of them had a copy.

At the beginning, no one was beaten for criticism, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became much more relaxed, and there was still a "buzzing" discussion in the process of reading the draft plan. The draft was written so concisely and to the point that the secretary explained its importance, and the village cadres no longer dared to look at it as a dead piece of paper, as usual.

Zhuo Wu squatted in a hidden place in the mountains, and from the binoculars, he could only see the village officials pouring in for a meeting. White Snake was not there, and no one could break into the conference room to install bugs, so it was naturally impossible to hear what they were discussing at the moment. Yu Gong left him on an "observation mission", not only leaving him all the supplies brought by the three men, but also drawing a simple map for him, marking the key locations in the village and on the mountain. "If there is any abnormality, please contact us immediately. These were the last words of Yu Gong before leaving. However, since the day they left, the same day that Chang Jinzhu returned, the village had been very peaceful, and the villagers had lived as usual—the white-faced ones were on the road, the healthy women were holding the tractor wheel, and there was no violent conflict. Of course, judging from the direction of entering the village, there have not even been tourists here in the past two days, let alone reporters who have visited unannounced visits. If Dante's speculation is accurate, perhaps something unexpected will happen when the reporter appears. I haven't been in touch with my "colleagues" for two days, but I hope Yugong doesn't blame me, after all, there is nothing to report. He thought. According to the plan, Yu Gong and Xing Tian will return today, and he believes that no matter whether he blames him or not, Yu Gong must have a lot to ask him.

In fact, Zhuo Wu also held back a few questions in his heart and wanted to ask Yugong, the same as Xingtian.

"Chang Jinzhu's family has ruled Dayangtun Village like a dynasty for almost 30 years, and since Chang Jinzhu became the secretary of the village party committee, this village that is not rich in the first place wants to get rich. Chang Jinzhu didn't want it to get rich, but the village was lifted out of poverty, so where did he swallow the poverty alleviation funds allocated from above? Embezzling various agricultural subsidies allocated by the state is the focus of his work every year, and in addition, his family has some illegal business. It can be said that he has made enough ill-gotten gains. Many villagers resented him for this, but he was an official, rich and powerful, and soon a group of sycophants turned to him as lackeys because of these two points, and he became powerful again. The people were afraid of him - most of them - and gradually began to obey him. ”

Yu Gong chose a relatively new-looking van from the Dongyuan Printing Factory, replaced it with a fake license plate, affixed a large car sticker with a website address printed on it, stuffed a fake "news interview" card into the corner of the front window, moved the camera and long microphone borrowed from a friend who made a movie into the car, and then let Xing Tian drive, and the two went to Dayangtun Village along the same road. On the way, Yugong kept telling Xingtian about the beginning and end of the malaise of Dayangtun Village since the reform and opening up. Hearing this, Xing Tian couldn't help but ask: "Obey?" "Hmph, why obey?" "Didn't you see a roadblock when you and Zhuo Wu came?" Since this road was repaired, Chang Jinzhu has led the strong men in the village to set up roadblocks on the road near the village from time to time to buy road money. If someone reports it, his connections in the county or even the city will notify him before anyone comes to investigate. When the limelight passed, he led the people out again, moved a little and continued to block the way. He kept a tenth of each money for buying a road, and distributed the rest to the villagers. ”

Xing Tian smiled contemptuously: "This guy still knows how to buy people's hearts!Yugong, let me ask you don't mind, how long have you been in Dayangtun'er Village?" "Then all these things were told to you by 'Lao Jiu'?" "Yes. "I guess you have a good relationship with him, so can you fully believe his words?" "What did you say?" Yu Gong's eyes widened in shock, this kind of question Xing Tian had never asked him. "When Da Yangtun'er's matter is still your private matter, you only need to ensure the safety of 'Lao Jiu'. But right now we're dealing with the 'forbidden land', and you're leading us to our goals. I think the goal of the 'forbidden land' should not just be to protect the 'old nine', but ...... You say that Chang Jinzhu'er is that virtuous person, I believe, and 'Lao Jiu', can you guarantee that he is a good official for the benefit of the villagers?" "You doubt...... "I didn't know anything about him before, but I had seen a lot of them in the police force and when I was handling cases...... There are many officials, some of them, they pinch each other and fight with each other, in fact, they are not good things, but they usually pretend to be sanctimonious. But as long as one grabs the handle of the other and beats him down, the one who wins can take advantage of the scandal that was exposed, flaunt how high he is, and continue to pretend to be a person......" "You are talking about mutual tilting in officialdom. "Yes, yes, it's mutual ...... Dumping. There is a saying in "Dream of Red Mansions": 'Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.' This is what Zhuo Wu taught him. After listening to Yugong talk about the purpose of coming to Dayangtun, Zhuo Wu and Xingtian privately communicated on this issue. Zhuo Wu, who grew up in the countryside, also has a lot of experience in officialdom, and in the "forbidden land" operation, his experience is likely to be more referential than that of Xingtian.

"Listen, Xingtian. Yu Gong said slowly, "I know that there are many local snakes, but 'Lao Jiu' is completely different from them. I believe in understanding and believing in him as a person. "You know that he is a good person, but it is difficult to say whether a good person is a good official after becoming an official. "Xingtian actually didn't give up.

"Pull over. Yu Gong ordered. "Ah, what?" "I've got to ask you a question, I'm afraid I'll get too distracted when you're thinking about it and crash into another car." ”

They are still on the highway. Xingtian found the nearest exit and pulled into the non-motorized lane. He looked around through the window and found no cameras. "What are you asking?" he extinguished the fire in the van. Yu Gongchang sighed and said, "When you were in the criminal police team, did you trust your captain?"

The chatter became quieter and quieter, and Chang Jiucheng still felt their confusion. He leaned back in his chair and waited for them to ask questions.

"Lao Jiu, is this okay?" Seeing that everyone else was silent, Chang Dachun, the oldest village chief with the most qualifications, took the lead in opening his mouth, "Just rely on these walnuts and apricots on the mountain, can you teach us to be well-off?" His words were like a stone, striking a slight wave of doubt. "Yes, every year there are so many walnuts and apricots growing on the trees in the mountains, and they can't be picked, and they fall to rot on the ground and bury them in the soil. "These things are not rare things like shark fin bird's nest brain platinum, and they don't contain anything special." "Walnut and apricot pits are just snacks, and they can't be eaten as food." There are no more crops in the field, so walnuts and apricots are going to be planted now......"

After the slight lan subsided, Chang Jiucheng showed a confident smile, and his voice was still so loud: "Don't worry, I have consulted people who understand this knowledge, although the dried fruit such as walnut and apricot pit is inconspicuous, it is very nutritious, not only can be eaten as a snack, but can also be processed into various food and beverages, so the price on the market will be high." "That's right," said one cadre, "the walnuts sold in the supermarket in the city with fancy foreign packaging are not a few in a small packet, and they are forty yuan!"

"Lao Jiu" continued: "And these dried fruits, we Chinese eat, foreigners also love to eat, and they are also imported from our country." He pointed to the east: "Out of the mountain, in that county of Beijing to the east, there are two towns where the common people specialize in growing walnuts, apricots and hazelnuts, and export them in large quantities." The walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts in these two towns alone account for 45 percent of the total annual exports of these three kinds of dried fruits in the northern region of our country! ”

"That's so much for two towns!" "Hey, can that not be rich?" "Alas, we don't need human race here, just the wild ones are all over the mountain." ”

"That's right!" "Lao Jiu" flicked his index finger on the table, "Our village has a natural advantage. Since Beijing can earn foreign exchange by exporting walnuts and apricots, we can also take good care of the walnut trees and apricot trees that the mountains have given us, and slowly turn them into planting areas with planning, scale, and guidance, and then there is hope that they will develop into planting bases, and then they will not only sell more, become famous, and the industry will become bigger, but they can also call back the villagers who went out to work, plant trees at their own doorsteps and make a fortune, and there is no need to be tired and angry in the city!"

This is a wonderful blueprint, and the cadres present, including Chang Xiaoshan and Wang Shunyang, are all excited about it, and they can't wait to rush up the mountain to pick walnuts immediately. Chang Jiucheng's words also ended here, he knew that if he talked about the next content, he would instantly extinguish the joy and enthusiasm that everyone had just ignited.
