From the beginning of Luli to Yangcheng, the sky is not beautiful, the continuous spring rain is endless, even if there is a car to travel, it is inconvenient after all, especially Luli originally planned to go to XX County in the southwest of Yangcheng once, and go further to the field to see the vegetable planting situation, but the continuous spring rain blocked all possibilities, and can only spend time at the wine table every day with Zhao Zhen, the county magistrate of XX County, and Yang Xuesen, the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture.

Zhao Zhen is 56 years old, a native of Panyu, Guangdong Province, even if the Cantonese he speaks to Li Zhengrong, he feels very incomprehensible, let alone mention Lu Li, he originally thought that he had stayed in Hong Kong for a while, and the daily conversation in Cantonese was no problem, and he didn't want Zhao Zhen to speak with a considerable accent, so he had to rely on Yang Xuesen to explain on the side to understand what he was saying, "Xiao Li, Secretary Li's body, is it okay?" ”

Li Zhengrong lifted Erlang's legs and lit a cigarette, "Fortunately, it's just too busy, you also understand that in that unlucky place in Pengcheng, you have to start everything from scratch, and you have to ask him for approval and signature for everything, and you will be in trouble." I went back to Pengcheng and went to his office, hey, we talked for half an hour, and more than 20 people came in the middle, and on average, a little more than a minute came. Do you want to die? ”

Zhao Zhen laughed, "Secretary Li is a busy man, and we also know that the last time we saw him at an old man's house, it was at an agricultural meeting held in the city." Hey, speaking of which, it's also a capable person who works harder. ”

Li Zhengrong nodded and asked, "By the way, Lao Zhao, what are the main vegetable crops planted in our county?" ”

Zhao Zhen and his colleagues' attention is completely focused on Li Zhengrong, which is also understandable, although he has no power and power, just an ordinary college student, but his Lao Tzu is one of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and now he is still the double leader of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government of Pengcheng City. How can his son be disrespectful? As for Lu Li and Li Tiehan, who were in the same company, they were naturally regarded by the other party as Li Gongzi's subordinates or classmates, so with a somewhat respectful tone, he said as if he was reporting to the leader: "This." Could we please answer the answer from Deputy County Magistrate Yang? ”

Yang Xuesen cast a grateful look at his old friend and said respectfully: "...... at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."

Li Zhengrong seemed to realize the abnormality of the atmosphere at this time, and interrupted him with laughter, "Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhao, what are you treating me for?" I'm still a student in office, and I'm a nephew of both of you in private, why do you talk like that? ”

Yang Xuesen and Zhao Zhen looked at each other and smiled, "It's nothing, this is what we should do." ”

"Don't do that. If this is the case, I'll be gone, huh? Li Zhengrong half-truthfully haha, pointed at Lu Li, and said, "I forgot to introduce it just now, this is Lu Li, my buddy." Also my best friend, this time I brought him over, it was he who wanted to ask me for help with something. I had no choice but to ask your two uncles to come. Don't be polite to me. Don't be polite to him! ”

Zhao and Yang are really a little confused, what kind of twisted relationship is this? Why is it so messy? "Oh, oh." The two hesitated and nodded to Lu Li, "Comrade Xiao Lu, hello." ”

The three of them spoke, and Lu Li's voice was in his ears. I was anxious about Li Zhengrong's big grin in my heart, do you really think you are a leader? Talking to people like that? Why don't you know the rules when getting along with others? Don't forget, it's you who has status, not you! But in such an environment now, he can't say anything to persuade him. I had to sit with a smiling face on the side. Seeing Zhao Zhen's hand handed over, he hurriedly got up and shook hands with the other party, "County Magistrate Zhao, hello." I can't speak Cantonese as well as Brother Rong, don't be surprised. ”

"Listening to Comrade Xiao Lu, it seems to be a northerner?"

"So...... Can you hear it soon? I thought to myself, can I already speak Cantonese? ”

Zhao Zhen laughed, but this time it was from the bottom of his heart, "In you, it seems that it is already a meeting, but among us people, we know that it is not our locals." ”

Lu Li scratched his head and said helplessly: "This is really no way, I originally planned to use this Cantonese to deceive us for a while, but who knew that in the eyes of the old revolutionary, it would be revealed all of a sudden!" ”

Zhao Zhen laughed again! "What an old revolution! Compared to Secretary Li, we are small characters! ”

Li Zhengrong and Li Tiehan smiled helplessly, Lu Li seemed to be born with a talent in this area, as long as he was willing, he could get closer to the original stranger in a sentence or two, and he couldn't do it with a hundred attempts! "County Magistrate Zhao, County Magistrate Yang, don't say that, after all, there are a few old revolutionaries like Director Xi, Director Yang and now Secretary Li in Pengcheng, and to be honest, they are all responsible for the major matters of the national economy and people's livelihood. For the common people, it is still a comrade like you, and it is even more shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart with the people. ”

Zhao and Yang showed a touched look at the same time, and nodded solemnly, "You're talking about it." You city people eat the country's grain every month, and you don't know the hard work of the people in our county! ”

"County Magistrate Zhao, County Magistrate Yang, you can say this wrong, not only me, Brother Rong also went to the countryside in Wuwei back then, and we have also experienced the days when we threw off our arms in the fields to earn work and eat agricultural rations. To be honest, I was a little better, I was in Tangshan back then, although the situation was also bad, it was not particularly difficult; Brother Rong is in Gan Province, so he has to add the word 'more'! ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, he really forgot this section, and chuckled when he heard the words, "Yes, I said something wrong, I have to do self-criticism!" ”

Lu Li nodded, took out the cigarette roll and handed it to the two, and continued to ask: "That, County Magistrate Zhao, our XX county, how much can the average per capita income be in a year?" ”

"What, how much? If you earn enough work, you can afford to eat, drink, and wear the family, even if you are strong laborers! Yes, in the end, you really have to find the brigade to borrow money and food to live. The wife and children are all suffering, and it is pitiful to think about it. Still...... How much do you think it's from your city? ”

"Then, they all make a living by growing grain and vegetables? What are the main ones? ”

"Grains are not just those kinds, rice, corn, sugarcane and the like, and there are a little more vegetables such as celery, lotus root, mustard, leek, lettuce, chrysanthemum, turnip, etc."

"Coriander?"

"It's the cilantro you guys are talking about."

"This. Lots of variety, huh? What about the income of farmers who grow vegetables? ”

"There are a lot of varieties, but they can't be sown all year round. For example, Tongcai Bar has just been planted in January and February, how long will it take to mature? Besides. If you think about it, the peasants have been busy in the fields for thirty or fifty days, and the money they can earn is only seven or eight yuan, what is the use of this money? ”

"So, these vegetables are just handed over to a commercial bureau and then sold to the people in the city? Are there any other ways to sell it? ”

"That's not enough! There are one or two million people in the city. There are not enough vegetables in the surrounding counties, so you have to buy vegetables from the two lakes. For example, some lotus roots, mushrooms, bean pods, green onions, garlic, chili peppers, cumin, etc. ”

After a few questions and answers, Lu Li had already done it in his heart, no longer delayed with them, and together with Li Zhengrong and Li Tiehan, the three of them said goodbye and went out.

When he got into the Volga car at the door, Li Zhengrong couldn't wait to pull the back of his seat and asked, "Xiaoxiao." How do you ask? ”

"I was going to buy it in the county, but now I look at it. The situation is worse than I thought! ”

"How?"

"You can also hear what they are saying, all these vegetables produced in the county will be handed over to a commercial bureau, and then faint and all the non-staple food stores in the city will be sold in a centralized manner. If we cut off the beard halfway, don't say whether the two of them are willing or not. It's just that the situation in the city can't be prevaricated. When I turned around and asked people, it was a small matter to cut off the way from them, and if I caused trouble for them, the situation would be serious. ”

Li Zhengrong nodded thoughtfully. Li Tiehan asked unconvinced: "Nonsense, when you were in Kailuna in the Northeast, didn't you buy mutton directly from the other brigade?" Isn't that the same? ”

"On the surface, it looks the same, but in fact it is different, the output of mutton is limited after all, but the vegetables are in large quantities, and the quantity we demand is large, once we take things away, there is such a big gap in the city and province, and it will soon be noticed." As he spoke, Luli started the car.

"So, if we want it, what do we do next?"

"Brother Rong, go back and help contact Director Wen of a commercial bureau, sit down with him and talk, and see if you can get something directly from a commercial bureau. I just heard County Magistrate Zhao say that some of the vegetables in the city are still to be transferred from other provinces. If that's possible, start with that! ”

"Okay, I'll call him when I get back."

Lu Li drove the car silently, speeding all the way, I don't know why, Li Zhengrong and Li Tiehan saw that his face was gloomy, and they didn't speak anymore, so they returned to Huanghua in a muffled voice, Lu Li slowed down the car and asked, "Brother Rong, what is this...... Wen Hua, how is he a person, is he reliable? ”

"He doesn't have a very deep relationship with me, and he is more familiar with Da Ge."

Lu Li nodded, pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to Li Tiehan: "Erdanzi, you go in first, and I will say a few words to Brother Rong." ”

So, Li Tiehan knew that the two of them had something to talk about, so the obedient one went into the courtyard first, "Xiaoxiao, do you have something to tell me?" ”

"I've been feeling that something is wrong with things these days, and on the way back just now, I kind of figured it out, this is the case in our Yangcheng, what is the situation in Pengcheng, where Secretary Li is located? Everything is still in the initial stage of creation, and the country has made great efforts to carve out a special zone, which is bound to blaze a new path in the political and economic fields, and I think, even if we don't talk about where the development will be in the future, let's just talk about the present, hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into Pengcheng, how can the problem of eating for these people be solved? ”

"You mean, you're going to hit my dad with the idea?"

"If you put yourself in your shoes, think about this problem, so many people, many of them are comrades from all over the world, and all provinces have dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to fill in the construction of Pengcheng City. Whether it is the technical force or the construction team, eating is always the first big problem to be solved! In my speculation, all these grains and vegetables in Pengcheng City will definitely not meet the needs of so many people! Therefore, as County Magistrate Zhao said, a large number of transfers will be made from other places, and this will give us room to operate. ”

"I see, haha! I understand! Li Zhengrong said with a smile: "Directly intercept Hu Pengcheng? ”

Lu Li also smiled and nodded heavily: "I initially planned to do so, but there are still many problems, first of all, I almost don't know anyone in Pengcheng except for your father, so you have to go out in person." ”

"I didn't say it, as long as you have the money to take it, it's nothing. If I was willing to go there, my dad wouldn't know how happy he would be. Li Zhengrong said with a smile: "How about it, let's go back together, my father called me last time and asked about you." ”

"Okay, but I have to go back to Hong Kong for the time being, and the matter of Pengcheng will have to be handed over to you."

"I didn't say it, oh, let Tie Liang go with you." (To be continued......)
