Chapter Sixty-Eight: Pulling a Hair and Moving the Whole Body
Taking advantage of the asymmetry of information, and taking advantage of the villagers' fear of power, relying on his Lao Tzu to be the deputy county magistrate, Liu He turned out to be selling and buying without capital, but it is a pity that these poor people who can hardly even afford to smoke cigarettes have to be squeezed by Liu He to serve as his free labor.
Xia Xiang thought of the little girl's yellow face and helpless eyes in the village, and remembered the old farmer's appearance after getting a box of cigarettes, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. Liu He is also a native of Ba County, he eats meat, and he also gives some soup to his parents and fellow villagers to drink, but he eats alone, and he is so rich that he does not even let go of his father and fellow villagers, which makes him extremely resentful of Liu He's greed.
After the incident in the county party committee compound last time, Liu He also took the initiative to find him once, saying that he invited him to dinner, but he politely refused. At that time, he did have something, and he didn't deliberately shirk it. After that, Liu He never appeared, and it is estimated that he did not take his little secretary in his eyes, thinking that he came forward to invite him once, whether he went or not, he had already given him enough face.
As for Zhang Xinying, Xia Xiang never heard from her again, and he didn't bother to ask Du Shuanglin. In his opinion, Zhang Xinying was as naΓ―ve as an ignorant child, pampered as if she was a princess, and he didn't want to think about how good it would be if her aunt Zhang Shuying really had enough influence in Ba County, why not transfer her out of the Propaganda Department, or even directly transfer her to Charter City? Since he was not even transferred from the Propaganda Department to other departments in the county, the reason for this is a bit intriguing.
But speaking of which, I really have to thank Liu He's vision, because of his reasons, Xia Xiang immediately thought of a short and fast project that could bring benefits to the people in a short time, he pretended to be casual and said: "Mushrooms and bracken are rare for us city people, and I also want to get some to try, I will give you 10 yuan, how much can you help me dig?" β
"Really give me 10 bucks?" Huang Hai's eyes lit up, as if a wolf had seen a rabbit, "Don't deceive, 10 yuan is a big number, take it out and take a look first." β
Xia Xiang couldn't bear to make fun of him anymore, even 10 yuan was regarded as a big money, no wonder he would bring four horses to accompany people for a box of cigarettes, he took out 10 yuan and stuffed it into Huang Hai's hand: "Give you money first." β
Huang Hai looked at the money in his hand and saw that it was really 10 yuan, touched it again and again, and hurriedly put it away, lest Xia want to regret it: "I'll dig as much as you want!" β
When he returned to Jiazhai Township, it was still early, and Li Dingshan wanted to walk around the village and wait for the Yellow Sea to come back. Huang Hai quickly went to dig wild vegetables alone, Xia Xiang didn't explain too much, Li Dingshan really thought that he was greedy for a while, and wanted to try it, so he didn't think much else. What he was angry in his heart was that Liu Shixuan actually connived at Liu He to harm the township and let the people give him free labor.
It's just that this matter can be big or small, Liu He really wants to insist that he has a good relationship with the villagers, it is a personal relationship, and the villagers are willing to help him dig wild vegetables, and then he will buy a few villagers to speak in a unified voice, and Li Dingshan has no way to take him, this is the biggest advantage of local officials, and they can make full use of their familiar relationship with local villagers.
What Li Dingshan didn't expect was that Xia Xiang had already thought of a plan to rectify Liu He.
For the situation in the entire Ba County, after Li Dingshan discussed with Xia Xiang several times, he could also see it more thoroughly, not to mention how the strong local representative Liu Shixuan hid behind his back and was ready to take action at any time, even the stone fortress with an unclear attitude was enough to give him a headache, not to mention the centrists who only sought self-preservation, even if they were motivated by the out-of-town faction, they were helpless against the current situation in Ba County, and could not come up with a feasible good way to change the face of poverty. It can be said that Ba County is a plate of scattered sand, and the harmony on the surface cannot hide the truth of internal fragmentation, and what is worrying is that if he really implements the tourism development plan, he has no idea what kind of resistance he will encounter.
It's just that when he walked around the village a few times, and found that in addition to the brick houses that can be seen on both sides of the road, the village is full of low adobe houses, Li Dingshan has his hands behind his back, his brows are tightly locked, and there is always a voice in his heart: As long as he can change the poverty and backwardness here, even if he does some extraordinary means, he will not hesitate.
Xia Xiang didn't know that Li Dingshan's impatient surname had made him determined to break the boat, and if he knew, he would definitely persuade Li Dingshan to change his mind. Whether it is above the officialdom or in the shopping mall, the most important thing is to fight against the odds before being absolutely sure, especially for people who want to make a difference, sometimes they must choose a superficial compromise and take a roundabout approach, which seems to be a concession, but in fact, it is to retreat as an advance, rather than a hard fight and end up losing both.
Xia Xiang and the three of them waited for nearly an hour, and they didn't wait for the Yellow Sea, and when they saw that it was almost noon, they went to the only rural restaurant in Jiazhai Township to eat. Although the restaurant is simple, but the cleaning is quite clean, a few people asked for a pot of stewed rabbit meat, a plate of wild vegetables, a plate of broad beans, because they have to go to work in the afternoon, and the three of them did not want to drink.
The food is not good, but the meat stewed by the local method with firewood has a completely different taste than the meat stewed with gas in the city, it is more fragrant and tender, and the wild vegetables and broad beans also taste good, so that Xia Xiang and a few people are addicted to eating, Jia He ate most of the rabbits alone, and then asked for another one to be considered enough. Li Dingshan also has a great appetite and has to relish.
There were mushrooms in the stew, Li Dingshan ate a few bites, and praised: "The taste is good, much better than Yan City." This thing is not cheap, it turns out that it is not easy to pick. β
Xia Xiang didn't tell Li Dingshan his next thought, because he didn't want him to be distracted, let him rest assured that he would do a good job in the tourist resort first, and other things should be done step by step, step by step, greedy will be wrong. Seeing that Li Dingshan's face was unhappy, he thought that he was still worried about Liu He's affairs, and said: "In fact, people like Liu He can be found everywhere, but they are just more excessively in Ba County." Because the people here are simple, he is both soft and hard, and it is indeed a bit unauthentic to deceive the people to contribute to him for free, and there is no need to worry about him, as long as the resort is successful, the people nearby slowly have a higher horizon, and after knowing that he can make money by working, it is impossible for him to squeeze casually...... Secretary Li, is there any news in Yan City recently? β
After having the new number, Xia Xiang also called Feng Xuguang once, knowing that his supermarket had been largely completed and was being renovated intensively, and it would be officially open for business in about a month, and other than that, everything was normal. Xia Xiang wondered in his heart, when did Gao Jianyuan discover the commercial value of Jiajia Supermarket and then insert it? Could it be that the supermarket is the most prosperous time after it opened for half a year, and if he really has the opportunity to contact Gao Jianyuan at that time, it will make his plan fail.
In his vision, if Gao Jianyuan can surface within three months, he can smoothly carry out the next plan, if he does not appear within the scheduled time, all the previous well-designed strategies may be in vain. Not only can he not help Cao Yongguo, but I am afraid that Gao Hai will also be implicated because of the intensification of the contradiction between Chen Feng and Gao Chengsong, and his future is uncertain.
Gao Hai didn't dare to draw conclusions about how Xia Xiang was specific, but judging from the details of how he helped him twice, he was also a person who knew the elegance of listening to the string songs, and since he had a good relationship with Li Dingshan, he naturally had something to make friends with, and it was worth helping. As for Chen Feng, Xia Xiang was out of pure goodwill, thinking that he had made a lot of contributions to the development of Yan City, and he should not be framed by Gao Chengsong and imprisoned, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to help him secretly.
Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Gao Jianyuan's important surname is self-evident, so Xia Xiang has been waiting for him to appear, and he always pays attention to the dynamics of Yan City in his heart.
