Chapter 448: The Countryside of Xingyuan County
"Liu Feng? It's you? You're finally willing to call me! β
Lan Yuanyu's surprised voice came from there, Liu Feng was very guilty when he arrived, he had been here for half a month, except for starting to report his safety, there was no communication, which was really a bit unreasonable: "Little princess, I miss you!" β
"Hiss," a woman's soft sobs came from the other side, "that's enough for you!" Don't worry, I'm fine, far better than you think."
"Butβ"
"Liu Feng, I'm a free man now, I'll go back and see you, I want you to compensate me well when the time comes, do you hear?"
"I'll wait for you! My little princess! β
A sentence from my little princess made the crying louder over there, and the phone hung up. Liu Feng knew that Lan Yuanyu's face would definitely not be as good as she said, otherwise she would not have stopped her questioning.
Slowly putting down the phone in his hand, Liu Feng sighed, Chen He is really a bad spirit, after all, the department he is in charge of is too sensitive. I'm afraid that for a long time, it will be impossible for Lanmei people to live a normal life.
After a slight pause, Liu Feng picked up the phone again: "Brother Xu, I'm Liu Feng." β
"Old pimple, I heard that your Standing Committee is tense! Haha, don't be too sharp, many times detours are a kind of wisdom. β
"Thank you, Brother Xu, I will take care of me this time, and please Brother Xu thank Grandpa Xu for me."
"Oh? You're very well-informed, old pimple, I just got the news yesterday. β
"Someone from the family has come, although I don't know the details, but I know a little bit."
"Hey, you can know a little bit that there is a deliberate taste in it, old pimple, grandpa said that you were squeezed out of Yanjing City by Chen Yuchun this time because of a blessing in disguise. If you don't leave, there's a good chance you've lost your chance. If someone deals with you in the first place, the consequences can be troublesome. β
Liu Feng was afraid for a while, he could make someone like Xu Lao see it as troublesome, and for him Liu, he was afraid that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die! It seems that the above is very clear about his social relationship, and Father Xu is just passing on the word from generation to generation, is this a warning?
No, maybe it's more of a kind of appeasement, and that's appeasing yourself as an "ant"! Liu Feng is a little helpless, he is still too weak! Fortunately, he has a lot of hole cards, maybe he is not only his past political achievements to make the other party merciful, but also the huge financial backing of the Gale Group, which has also added a lot of chips to himself.
As for the network resources, it is far from enough for the other party to see it, and it is the real boss who shot this time! Is there an old man's handwriting in this? It's really hard to say, thinking of the red panda cigarettes that once made a lot of effort for himself, Liu Feng sighed, these old people are really affectionate and righteous!
With Yulong SUV, Liu Feng began to visit and investigate in the countryside of Xingyuan County, and Lu Dalong, as Secretary Liu's full-time driver, was installed with a deputy section-level position. This position is just an idle position, he still drives for Liu Feng full-time, but his identity is different, and he has become an official state cadre.
This made Lu Dalong very grateful, thinking that their brothers had no jobs at the beginning, so they were introduced to Liu Feng by the old leader Han Weidong. In just three years, Guan Wei has developed quite well in Jingjiang District, and he is already a section chief.
Duan Hai and Bai Luxiao studied in London, and they were also participants in the last pound sniper battle. Warwick is now in charge of security within Gale Group, a Gale security company that now has 300 employees, all of whom are former soldiers.
Gale Security Company is paramilitarized, and the internal organizational structure is also all in accordance with the organizational model of the army, but the name has changed. The current Gale Security Company has officially established a linkage model with Han Weidong's special operations unit and Xu Ting's Marine Corps, becoming the first choice for demobilized soldiers of these two units.
The salaries of the employees of Gale Security Company are very high, far higher than the salaries of ordinary cadres. Liu Feng said that these people will be seeds, that is, future management talents, not security personnel in the ordinary sense.
Warwick, the manager of Gale Security Company, can already be regarded as a senior manager, which makes Guan Wei envious. Now that Lu Dalong has also become a person in the system, the huge changes in the past few years have really made the brothers feel a lot of emotion.
Xu Ying has decided that she will invest here in the spring of next year, and the specific project is being planned, and Xi Jie and her family will be a key part. Therefore, the villa by the river will be built after the year, and as for real estate development, because of Liu's special preference, this thing Gale Real Estate Development Company will not get involved.
Liu Feng in the countryside is as light as always, with only one Yulong SUV, but in addition to Chen Bo and Li Na, Propaganda Minister Wang Yuyan is also present. For a few days, Liu Feng and the others all went out early and returned late.
Fortunately, this Yulong SUV has first-class off-road ability, otherwise Xingyuan County is full of roads but there is no road, and the average car is really unable to drive. Many of the dirt roads in the countryside pass through the ditches, and the car walks on them as if they are crossing stairs, but the stairs are horizontal.
Liu Feng found that the farmland in the countryside here is indeed fertile enough and the area is wide enough. In the early years, it was uninhabited and a paradise for all kinds of wildlife. Even now, Yulong SUV travels in the wilderness, and you can often see wild animals.
Fortunately, Chen Bo reminded him that he had bought a few pairs of Russian military binoculars from the river early, and everyone admired those hares and red deer along the way, and occasionally saw a wild wolf, staring at the car alertly for a long time, before he howled and went into the jungle in a blink of an eye.
The countryside of Xingyuan County often has swamplands, which are wetland environments and alluvial plains where three rivers meet. The land is vast and fertile, the air is fresh, the water quality is pure, and the resources are abundant, with a total area of 6250.24 square kilometers and a county area of 3059.6 square kilometers.
Xingyuan County has an area of 1.7 million mu of cultivated land, with 2 hectares of cultivated land per capita, making it the county with the largest per capita cultivated land area in Xing'an Province. In order to fill the problem of population shortage here, but also to reclaim the frontier, several farms were established here after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The farms here are all semi-military management, and the first batch of farm cadres and workers are actually soldiers, and in the later period, there are young students who go to the mountains and go to the countryside to enrich them. It's just that with the tide of returning to the city more than ten years ago, there are not many educated youths here.
Now the militia training on the farm is much stronger than that in the localities, and the director of the farm said proudly: "The militia under my command and the ordinary non-duty series of army exercises may not be left behind!" β
Liu Feng has indeed seen the strength of the militia, but these are of no use to Xingyuan County at the moment: "Field director, if a few factories are set up in the county, I don't know if the farm can support some employees?" β
Liu Feng's biggest worry now is the shortage of labor, the urban population in Xingyuan County is too small, and there is a shortage of people if he wants to do something. At this time, he was a little envious of Wang Zhikun, the population density of Sichuan and Chongqing City is quite large, and the people there have nothing to do, and they are idle all day long, "bloody battles to the end", "rivers of blood", and poker gambling.
"Into the city?" The field director looked at Liu Feng with almost contemptuous eyes, "Secretary Liu, I don't know what farm workers in other places think, but these guys under my command want them to enter the city, hehe-"
"Isn't it better to work in the city than here?"
Liu Feng didn't understand this, but several cadres in Xingyuan County at the scene did not speak out, and the field director smiled: "Secretary Liu, if I believe that the conditions of the big cities in the mainland are good, and my employees also believe in them, but the conditions of Xingyuan County?" Hey, heyβ"
Wang Yuyan and the others blushed a little, and a few of their city people were actually laughed at by the farm workers, which is really not a glorious thing. Liu Feng visited several peasant households, and only then did he discover the root of the problem: the peasant workers here only spend four or five months a year farming, and the rest of the time is very idle.
Just like now, the cat winter is about to begin, and it will be idle for half a year. As long as enough firewood and adequate rations are prepared in advance, the peasant workers in winter are the most comfortable: "Into the city? The peasant worker named Li Feng rolled his eyes: "If you invite me to Yanjing City, you can still consider it, Xingyuan County is not interested." β
As he spoke, Li Feng led a group of guests from the county to visit his home, the warehouse was full of grain, and the yard was just harvested corn, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains, like a hill, more than Liu Feng's harvest in half of the village in Shan Yu Township.
There are four pigs in the back garden, a big fat pig of about 400 catties will be slaughtered after freezing, and the one of more than 200 catties will be slaughtered around May Day. In other words, Li Feng has already prepared neatly except for some small bits and pieces that need to be purchased this winter.
As for firewood, only a small portion of the harvest from a dozen hectares of cultivated land is enough to keep his five rooms hot enough for a winter. The conditions of Li Feng's family are just average, and the decoration of some peasants' homes is even more luxurious than Liu Feng's Standing Committee courtyard.
No wonder people here are reluctant to enter the city, it is the conditions here that are too favorable, just like the original Ming Dynasty and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The rulers at that time were satisfied with their comfortable small-scale peasant economy, and felt that they were already in the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and their lives were abundant enough, so they closed themselves to the country, away from the tide of the first industrial revolution at that time, and made China walk behind the world for the first time.
This is an unforgettable lesson, but Liu Feng looked at the scenes of farmers and fishermen in Xingyuan County, which was almost a copy of the year, just a miniature version. While Liu Feng lamented the ignorance and backwardness of the peasants here, he was even more angry with the cadres of Xingyuan County.
It's just that the common people don't understand the general trend of the world, and many of the dignified state cadres are college graduates, just like Chen Bo around him, who will not want to forge ahead, this is an unforgivable mistake, and it is the backward Yuanxu of Xingyuan County!
However, judging from the contacts in the past few days, whether it is Li Na, a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers, Wang Yuyan, a third-class college student, or even Chen Bo, a college student who graduated in the mid-80s, their vision and opinions are not as backward as Liu Feng imagined.
This situation is very serious, just like the original Jiayu County, where it was also the same. The Goldman Sachs, Pei Wenhua and even the old county magistrate there were good enough, but because there was no good political atmosphere and soil, a place similar to exile was formed in Shan Yu Township.
