"Originally, this was the job I was in charge of, and I shouldn't have caused you trouble, but I'm a newcomer, and I've encountered so many problems, so it's really impossible not to ask you for help." Xu Fang wanted to relax his tone, but the words he said were really like a pleading, and he was very dissatisfied with this, so he added: "There are so many problems at once, I really can't deal with it, I wanted to mention it to you at the governor's office meeting a few days ago, but I saw that everyone had so many things to deal with, so I didn't mention it, I wanted to wait a few days to see if the situation could be solved, but now it is imminent, so I have to ask you for help." ”

"You're polite again, isn't your job mine? Isn't your problem my problem too? There should be no distinction between what is inside and outside. Qi Tianxiang knew that Xu Fang was a little difficult to speak, and in the final analysis, he was still an expert cadre, with a lot of concerns, more thoughts, and face, etc., so he said straight to the point: "You can come and discuss with me, explain that you need my help, and at the same time trust me, this is enough." Today, let's be open and honest, don't go around in circles, don't play official, and work together to find a way to solve the problem. ”

"It should be like this, it should be like this." Xu Fang heard the dissatisfaction from Qi Tianxiang's words, so he hurriedly adjusted it and said: "You know, I am from the south, where I grew up, I am relatively familiar with the situation there, and I also have some experience in the storage and law of agricultural products in the southern region. ”

"Since this period, I have been conducting research in several important summer grain producing areas, and I have gradually mastered some laws of agricultural production in the north. Xu Fang gradually settled down and slowly introduced the topic to the core of the problem, "Through research and the situation reflected below, the weather and rainfall last winter and this spring are more suitable, although the spring drought is more serious, through various remedial measures, some areas will be affected, and there will be a certain degree of reduction in production, but the overall situation is still relatively optimistic." After careful calculations, this year's bumper summer grain harvest is a foregone conclusion, and the output can be increased by more than 15 percent on the basis of last year's continuous growth. At the same time, production can be increased, but problems have also emerged, first of all, the incentives and subsidies for drought-fighting and drilling wells last winter and this spring, which have not been put in place in most places so far, and the problem of provincial and municipal funds being withheld is very serious. ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's focused eyes and the gradually solemn look on his face, Xu Fang did not go around in circles again, but followed his own train of thought and continued: "Due to the implementation of the incentive policy of superior varieties and high prices last year, new wheat varieties have been promoted in many places in autumn, and the enthusiasm of farmers is also very high. In the face of the drought in winter and spring, many farmers have increased investment in the construction of water conservancy facilities and wells, for this situation, all localities have introduced incentives and encouragement policies, subsidies ranging from 300 yuan to 600 yuan per well, the introduction of these policies and incentive measures, to alleviate the drought, to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest has played an important role. ”

"This is not important, the rewards and subsidies will only have some impact on the summer harvest, the effect is still limited, now the important question is who to sell to after the harvest? Who will collect it? Xu Fang looked at Qi Tianxiang anxiously, and continued: "Last year's autumn grain harvest, corn production reached a historical high, the problem of difficulty in selling grain reappeared, storage enterprises despite the purchase of grade and price, but still can not collect, coupled with the lack of digestion capacity of corn deep processing enterprises inside and outside the province, the external transfer is blocked, resulting in a plummeting price of corn, full storage, so far there is no fundamental relief, storage is seriously insufficient. In addition, grain prices fluctuate greatly, storage and processing enterprises are apprehensive, and banks are even more reluctant to provide funds, and they have secretly tightened funds, forming a certain degree of panic. ”

"How serious is the situation, or how far has it been?" Qi Tianxiang Zou frowned, stared at Xu Fang's face and asked: "Insufficient warehouse capacity can be dispersed and stored, and insufficient funds can also be transferred, this is not a problem, the key is that the spread of this panic will have a huge destructive effect, which cannot be underestimated." What are the specific aspects of the situation that you have? ”

"As you said, warehousing and funding can be solved, but the factors that cause these difficulties cannot be ignored." Xu Fang deeply admired Qi Tianxiang's determination, and continued: "The problem now is that since last autumn, the panic caused by the plunge in grain prices, the price of corn has fallen, and many farmers' corn is reluctant to sell at home, even if it is barely sold, many have not got cash. There is also a terrible phenomenon, in order to digest the risks brought about by market fluctuations, storage enterprises and grain deep processing enterprises have quietly formed a price alliance, and in this year's summer grain purchase, they will inevitably join hands to manipulate prices, and only the peasants will suffer. ”

"Increasing production without increasing income, such a situation must not be tolerated, the matter of grain cheapness hurting farmers cannot be repeated, I can't control what happened last year, this year is the first time for you and me, and we can't make the farmers with a bumper harvest sad." Qi Tianxiang stood up excitedly and said categorically: "Although the three rural issues are complicated, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of income, starting from stabilizing grain prices and stabilizing farmers' incomes. ”

Qi Tianxiang said and felt a little out of shape, so he slowly sat back on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and thought for a while before saying to Xu Fang: "Do you think this is good, you go back and prepare to prepare, and in the afternoon convene the relevant persons in charge of the Agricultural Department, the central and local storage enterprises, the Agricultural Bank and the Agricultural Development Bank, as well as the relevant persons in charge of the provincial and urban commercial banks, let's bump the situation together, the summer harvest is imminent, we must have measures to deal with it, and we can't mess up when there is a problem." ”

Seeing the slightly excited look on Xu Fang's face, Qi Tianxiang seemed to think of something again, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's better not to make such a big formation, let's listen to the situation of the Agricultural Department in the afternoon!" See what they've mastered. ”

Hearing Qi Tianxiang say this, Xu Fang knew that Qi Tianxiang already had an idea to deal with it, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Everything is up to you, I will go and notify the Department of Agriculture and let them prepare for it, and we will deal with it according to the situation in the afternoon." ”

Seeing that Xu Fang was leaving, Qi Tianxiang stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Xu Fang's hand, and said softly: "The time is tentatively set after three o'clock!" When the time comes, I will ask Secretary Zhang to invite you, and we will talk about it in detail. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll just come over on time." Xu Fang seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and slowly walked out and said, "Don't delay your time, you can be busy with your own affairs!" ”
