Chapter 166: The Last Winter in Ba County

The last time I went back to Yan City, I didn't see Xiao Jia, and Xia Xiang felt a little regretful. After he returned to Ba County, he kept talking to Xiao Jia on the phone, and learned from Xiao Jia that her business had entered the regular market, and it was getting bigger and bigger, not only completely opening the market in Yan City, but also having preliminary contact with vegetable wholesalers in Beijing.

Xia Xiang was also sincerely happy for Xiao Jia, ashamed to say that he helped Gao Hai come up with ideas, gave advice to Li Dingshan, and even helped Chu Zigao point out the direction, but he didn't do anything for Xiao Jia, it was completely Xiao Jia's hard work, and it was also because he did know too little about vegetable wholesale, and at the same time, Xiao Jia was not only smart, but also very assertive.

Xiao Jia always said to Xia Xiang after she had done things, reporting good news and not bad news, only telling him what kind of success she had achieved, as for the grievances and twists and turns she had suffered before success, she never said it, as if her success was easy. She didn't say it, Xia Xiang also understood that a beautiful woman like Xiao Jia was out alone, and it was impossible to go out without encountering right and wrong and difficulties! Although he believed in her wit and ability, he always couldn't help but worry about her, and every time he asked her if she was tired and what he needed him to do, Xiao Jia always told him in an understatement tone that she could handle everything and didn't need him to worry about her.

Xia Xiang misses Xiao Jia, in addition to having more thoughts on the ** side, there is also a strange feeling. Because every time Xiao Jia called, she would report to him how much money she had earned, and how much of it was his, and she would take good care of it for him and make good money. Every time Xiao Jia would exclaim like a little girl who had got candy, provoking Xia Xiang to smile quietly on the phone, and with her exclamation, before she knew it, he had become a millionaire!

Xiao Jia used the 1.6 million yuan earned from compiling the book as the starting capital, and successfully earned 500,000 yuan in just half a year, that is to say, she now has more than 2 million yuan in her hands, and if she is half of one person, Xia Xiang can also get more than 1 million!

And that's just the beginning!

According to Xiao Jia's assumption, she will vigorously explore the market next year, just a Yan City, can occupy one-fifth of the wholesale market is already amazing, because Yan City is close to the capital, she also has to open the market in the capital. Xiao Jia was not only full of confidence, but also asked Xia Xiang to share his opinion: "You said that you want me to open the capital market, and you also said that you want to give me a huge surprise, why is there no news now?" Tell us what you think! ”

In fact, what Xiao Jia needs is Xia Xiang's encouragement and support.

Now that the development of the Three Mountains Resort has been clarified, and according to reliable information, the mountain road has been started, Xia Xiang no longer conceals his plan: "Ba County has excellent geology and can grow advantageous vegetables, but Ba County has a long winter and is too cold, even if it is planted in a greenhouse, it will freeze to death." However, in the period from autumn to winter, you can recharge and use the advantages of plastic greenhouses, take advantage of the long light and the large temperature difference between day and night, and plant winter vegetables such as cabbage and cabbage, which can also make a lot of money......"

Xiao Jia was skeptical: "Is it feasible?" She doesn't know the climatic characteristics of Ba County, and she has no experience in growing vegetables, so she naturally doesn't know much about planting.

"I dare to guarantee that the vegetables produced in Ba County are of first-class quality, as long as there is a market, the supply is guaranteed!" Xia Xiang has the confidence to play the brand of Ba County vegetables, he has the incomparable advantages of others, knowing that in later generations, several counties in the north of the capital have successively built vegetable bases, becoming the vegetable garden of the capital. He didn't remember whether there was a dam county, but since he came to a county of Ba, it was not a difficult thing to seize the opportunity to build a vegetable base in a county of Ba County.

It is precisely because of the relationship between him and Xiao Jia that they talk about business and money, which always makes him feel that the relationship between him and Xiao Jia seems to be an ambiguous relationship of intimate cooperation and infinite possibilities.

Compared with Xiao Jia, the call between him and Cao Shumu was much more relaxed and casual, the little girl pestered him, telling him interesting things about her at school, who wanted to pursue her, she rejected her and didn't give up, and played the old trick of sending a hundred flowers. Her mother still talked about Xia Xiang, worried that he would be frozen in Ba County, after all, it was more than ten degrees lower than Yan City. Cao Shujun went to the Ordnance Academy and was sad when he heard that he was rejected for pursuing a girl...... Wait, endless topics, endless conversations, always make him feel comfortable and at ease.

Feng Xuguang's mention of Xiao Jia made Xia Xiang lose his mind and think of many things at once. He came back to his senses and smiled at Feng Xuguang: "Don't mention Xiao Jia, let's talk about your branch, by the way, there is Gao Jianyuan......"

Jiajia supermarket has become formalized and has had a lot of influence in Yan City. However, Feng Xuguang's first branch has not yet been established, because the land has not yet been confirmed. Last time, Xia Xiang proposed that he would give 5% of the shares, and Feng Xuguang would give 5% of the shares, a total of 10% to Gao Jianyuan, in exchange for a piece of land located in the downtown area. However, Gao Jianyuan has never appeared since he showed up, and Feng Xuguang couldn't contact him, so the matter of the land was temporarily shelved.

"It may be that there is a problem in some link, and there is no movement on the ground for the time being. Wait, I took a fancy to that piece of land, and I didn't want to open the first branch somewhere else, and it just so happened that the funds were not sufficient now, so it was better to take a break. Feng Xuguang and Xia Xiang were talking in the office of the food factory, he didn't expect that Ba County would be cold so early, he would wear less clothes, and he would shiver a little from the cold.

Xia Xiang laughed at him: "Okay, I won't keep you, anyway, everything is going well in the food factory, so you can go back to Yan City first." Before the winter, how many mushrooms and bracken can be grabbed, anyway, it is equivalent to picking up for nothing. By the way, the villagers' enthusiasm for work is okay, right? ”

"Yes, yes, very satisfied." Feng Xuguang is very satisfied with the labor resources of Ba County, and the food factory hires Huang Hai as a squad leader for 100 yuan a month.

"Liu He, poor boy, how is it now?" Feng Xuguang suddenly thought of Liu He, and asked in the tone of a cat crying mouse.

"Liu He, he was sentenced to ten years, went to a neighboring county to serve his sentence, I heard that he was bullied in prison......" Xia Xiang replied lightly, compared to Liu Shixuan Liu He is not bad, Liu Shixuan was sentenced to 20 years, Shen Fuming is ruthless enough, it is estimated that he wants Liu Shixuan to die in prison.

Feng Xuguang did not stay long, and drove back to Yan City on the same day.

At the beginning of November, [***] officially went to Ba County to serve as deputy secretary of the county party committee, and at the suggestion of the Ba County Party Committee, the municipal party committee agreed to add two more members of the Standing Committee of Ba County, deputy secretary [***] and Jiang Yang, secretary of the Party Committee of Jiazhai Township, thus increasing the number of members of the Standing Committee of Ba County from 11 to 13. Because Zhao Jiansu took over Liu Shixuan's position as executive deputy county magistrate, but he was also a member of the Standing Committee, he promoted another member of the Standing Committee from the deputy county magistrate, increasing the number of Standing Committee members of the political axe team.

Jiang Yang was a staunch supporter of Li Dingshan, and [***] was low-key and docile, never raised objections, and basically Li Dingshan's authority was not affected in the slightest.

Soon, Li Dingshan proposed that in order to carry out his work better, he decided to nominate Xia Xiang as the deputy head of Jiazhai Township. Jiang Yang not only agreed immediately, but also said that Jiazhai Township still lacked a deputy secretary, so it was better to let Xia Xiang be the deputy secretary and deputy head of the township. As expected, Jiang Yang's proposal was unanimously approved, and a few days later, Xia Xiang officially took office and began to implement his and Li Dingshan's next plan as deputy secretary and deputy head of the township.

I don't know who revealed the news, Jiang Yang, secretary of the township party committee, and Wang Yongyi, the township mayor, both knew that Xia Xiang would be transferred back to Yan City in less than half a year, which is good, the two of them almost completely delegated power to Xia Xiang, as long as it was Xia Xiang's proposal, they all nodded and passed, and did not hesitate to support it. Xia wanted to know if the two of them were selling him a good one, and he would show Li Dingshan it, so he would unceremoniously promote his plan, anyway, he also knew in his heart that after he left, his political achievements were all Jiang Yang and Wang Yongyi's, and he needed to use this half a year to lay a good foundation and really do some practical things for the people, and he also needed the qualifications for this period of time.

Li Dingshan's authority in Ba County is now unshaken, but his cleverness lies in not meddling too much in the affairs of the political axe, and letting the stone fortress do it. Shi Fortress was very grateful to Li Dingshan in his heart, not only because Li Dingshan got rid of his long-time rival Liu Shixuan, but also gave him power. What he admires the most is that Li Dingshan is not like other secretaries who have risen from the grassroots level little by little, he is greedy for money and loves power, Secretary Li is flexible and open-minded, has a high vision, is not greedy for money, and is willing to do practical things for the people sincerely, such a secretary is not only the blessing of his county magistrate, but also the blessing of all the people of Ba County.

Shi Fortress is full of energy, less of the desire to fight for power, and also feels that he is old, he has been an official for a lifetime, and he will not be promoted in the future, but during his tenure as the magistrate of Ba County, he can really do a few good things for the people, and he is worthy of being in the officialdom for so many years!

When people live, they must always have a spiritual energy, and the stone fortress thinks that it will be worth it if you can make the people think of you.

Because he got the exact news of the start of construction of the Sanshan Resort, Li Dingshan threw a bombshell at the Standing Committee -- to develop the tourism resources of Ba County, to attract foreign investment, to develop grassland tourist resorts, and to promote Huahaiyuan in Jiazhai Township for the first time!

Wu Yingjie has been much more honest recently, no longer swaying from side to side, but burying his head in work, but slowly gaining Li Dingshan's trust. He listened to Li Dingshan's grand plan and asked suspiciously: "Secretary Li, we have two major problems, one is that the road is impassable, and the other is the lack of money. If you lack money, you can take out a loan or attract investment, but if you don't have a road, I'm afraid the plan is not feasible. ”

Li Dingshan nodded approvingly: "Director Wu's analysis is in place, Ba County has been restricted for many years because there are no roads. There is just an excellent opportunity in front of us - a company in Beijing has invested heavily in the development of the Three Mountains Resort, which is only more than 20 kilometers away from Ba County, if we open up the 20 kilometers of mountain roads, we can take advantage of the east wind of the development of the Three Mountains Resort, through the mountain road that stretches between the mountains and mountains, and the whole journey is not more than 150 kilometers! ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

After seeing the materials distributed by Li Dingshan, the Standing Committee members immediately boiled. Ba County has been trapped for many years, so poor that he has no temper, and he is so poor that he has no way at all, just because there is no road, and if he wants to make money without a road, this road is naturally impassable. Now that there is a road, it is like seeing the clouds, and all the plans that were unimaginable in the past can be put on the agenda again, how can it not make people's blood boil?

The discussion at the Standing Committee was enthusiastic, and the meeting, which was originally scheduled to be an hour, lasted for three hours without adjournment. In the end, an agreement was reached that the county party committee and county government axe would fund the work, and Jiazhai Township would work specifically to organize the villagers to open mountains and build roads in their spare time.

In the end, after the study and decision of the Jiazhai Township Party Committee, Xia Xiang was fully responsible for the specific matters of road repair.

After serving as the deputy secretary and deputy head of the township, he mingled with the villagers of Jiazhai Township, and because the villagers knew that the Xuguang Food Factory, which gave them huge benefits, was also the investment brought by Secretary Xiaoxia, so they treated Xia Xiang as kind as their own children, and they trusted him very much. Xia Xiang didn't even need to climb the heights to shout, only said that the road needs to be repaired, half a day, almost all the strong laborers in Jiazhai Township were dispatched, under the leadership of the Yellow Sea, the simple villagers have carried forward the high wind and bright festival, regardless of the salary, regardless of the quality of the food, all of them are in full swing into the construction of the mountain and the road.

At the same time, Li Dingshan also invited experts from the Yan Provincial Evening News to visit Ba County, and also sent invitations to media friends in the capital through his relations, setting off a strong wind of grassland tourism in the media in Beijing and Yan Province...... Lian Ruohan has not appeared often since Liu Shixuan was arrested, and once she disappeared, it was more than a month, and sometimes she would suddenly appear, meet Xia Xiang, have a meal, talk about her travel and adventure experiences, and then disappear again. Xia Xiang was so busy that he didn't care about asking her more, so he regarded him as a friend who was not far away.

The winter in Ba County is colder than Xia Xiang imagined, often at a low temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees, but fortunately, the mountain is built and the road is built with explosives to blow up the mountain, there is no frozen soil zone, and the construction is not affected. Looking at the hot scene, Xia Xiang calculated that tomorrow spring, the road surface can be leveled and connected to the mountain road of the Three Mountains Resort.

Yang Bei has never seen her since the last time they met, and then met Zhang Xinying by chance, and heard her say that Yang Bei left Ba County, as if he had gone to the south, where it was, even Niu Hongmei didn't know. Xia Xiang secretly sighed, Yang Bei thought that if he could stay away from Ba County completely, he would be able to forget everything that had happened forever? I hope she can go all the way.

Zhang Xinying has experienced this change, and she is much more stable and mature than before, but she has a bad habit, so she likes to blink her curious eyes and stare at Xia Xiang, making Xia Xiang uncomfortable, and hurriedly said a few words and slipped away.

Although there is a boom in promoting the tourism resources of Ba County, and there are many calls that intend to come to invest in tourist resorts, there are still not many people who actually come to investigate. After all, Ba County has been closed for too long, and for most people, they don't know that there is a Ba County at all, and it suddenly pops up to make people fully accept it, and it takes a process.

After a heavy snowfall, road construction was suspended, and the entire Ba County seemed to have entered hibernation, not only were there few pedestrians on the streets, but even the people in the county party committee compound were drowsy and could not lift their spirits. Heavy snow covers the mountains, and the weather is freezing, no one wants to go out, the economy of the cold zone is underdeveloped, and the weather also accounts for a large factor. When the weather is cold, people don't like to move, and when people are lazy, there will be less people, and business will naturally not be hot.

Xia Xiang is in the office of the Party Committee of Jiazhai Township, writing a proposal for his "Report on the Feasible Surnames for Promoting Vegetable Greenhouses in Ba County", and he plans to sort it out as soon as possible so that he can submit it as soon as possible before the spring of next year. He was worried that he would be transferred back to Yan City in March and May next year, and he was afraid that it would be too late to write by then.

The windows of the office are double glazing, the distance between the two layers of glass is 30 cm, the wall is also half a meter thick thickened wall, and there is a stove in the house, Rao is so, the temperature in the room is estimated to be less than 10 degrees, and it is too cold to move. Xia Xiang was wearing a thick cotton coat, covering him like a big bear, although his hands were shivering with cold, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, because he knew that there was not much time left for him, and he originally wanted to stay in Ba County for two years before leaving, and he could see with his own eyes that Ba County went from being poor and white to solving the problem of food and clothing, but now it seems that he can only leave his idea and let Secretary Li realize it concretely.

Knock knock knock...... Someone knocked on the door, but Xia Xiang didn't raise his head: "Come in, the door is not locked." ”

As soon as the door opened, it brought a cold wind and a lot of snowflakes drifted in. Xia Xiang shivered, and his hands, which were about to freeze, became even colder, and he hurriedly said, "Close the door quickly, close the door quickly, it's too cold." ”

"It's amazing to be so cold and work so hard." Lian Ruohan's voice suddenly sounded - she was wearing a white down jacket, tight jeans, and a pair of pony boots under her feet, although it was a cold winter, but because the down jacket had a waistline, the waist was just right, of course, because her figure was good enough, she didn't look bloated at all, but set off her bee waist and thin legs, and then there was a delicate flower face that was frozen white and red, different, slim and elegant, refreshing.

Xia Xiang rubbed his eyes: "Are you okay?" It's freezing and snowy, what are you doing? ”

Xia Xiang's words were full of concern, and Lian Ruohan smiled happily: "It's okay to be idle, turn around, and you will unknowingly transfer to Ba County." ”

"If you're really idle, stay in the capital honestly, and don't always appear in front of me and be annoying." Xia Xiang waved the pen in his hand impatiently, "I didn't see that I was busy, adding to the chaos." ”

Even Ruohan was not annoyed, as if she knew that Xia Xiang was faking to be angry, she pulled a chair and sat down: "It seems that I haven't seen you for almost two months, and every time I appear in front of you, it seems that I have never caused you trouble?" On the contrary, they have secretly helped you a lot! You pat your conscience and say, is what you just said too much? ”

Xia Xiang smiled and said: "Okay, let's make it clear, what are you doing in Ba County?" ”
