After the two women shouted for a while, a man ran out of the old town, and when he came to the boat on the beach by the river, he skillfully pushed the boat into the river and rowed to the opposite bank.

Chen Guan sighed in his heart, what age is this, there is no bridge on the Mingshui River here, and the traffic still relies on such primitive small wooden boats!

The party secretary and village chief of the old city village rushed over.

The branch secretary's name is Hu Wenwen, in his forties, small and low, with a white face.

The village chief's name is Zhang Xilai, in his forties, tall, black and strong.

Looking at a lonely boat on the Mingshui River, Chen Guan asked Hu Wenwen and Zhang Xilai, is there no bridge on the Mingshui River all the time?

Hu Wenwen replied that there was no bridge all along.

Chen Guan asked again that the fish and shrimp in the Mingshui River were delicious, and that there were any people in the village who were fishing and selling fish?

Hu Wenwen said that every family goes down to the river to fish, but those who do not sell fish eat at home.

Chen Guan asked why no one sells fish?

Hu's answer was very succinct: "No one buys it!" ”

Zhang Xilai added that no one bought the fish sold on Zhouli Street, and it was too far to sell it in the county seat, and the money from selling the fish was not enough to pay for the journey, so it was not cost-effective.

Chen Guan asked why he didn't contact Shuiquan and Xijing's aquatic markets?

Hu article said that the land can't be planted, who still has that idle time!

Chen Guan's hometown Wulongyu has only 2 acres of cultivated land per capita, and Zhouli Township has 3 acres of cultivated land per capita. 8 acres, more land has the advantage of more land, that is, you can get more food, and you don't have to worry about no food to eat. However, there is also the disadvantage of having more land, that is, tying up all the labor force to the land.

Chen Guan asked Hu Wenwen and Zhang Xilai again, what are the main cash crops in the village?

Hu replied that it was potatoes.

Zhang Xilai added that not only the old city village grows potatoes, but the entire Zhouli township grows potatoes. The yield of potatoes is high, and some people come to buy them, and an acre of land can be sold for five or six hundred yuan or even a thousand yuan a year, which is more cost-effective than growing grain.

When Chen Guan heard this, there was finally a hint of joy on his face.

Chen Guan didn't ask anymore, and asked Hu Wenwen and Zhang Xilai to lead them to the fields of the old city village to have a look, wanting to see how the soil was and what was suitable for planting.

Hou Shuangcheng, an agricultural technician, didn't dare to speak all the way, and when he arrived in the crop field, he finally had a place to use and began to introduce the varieties and yields of soybeans and corn to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan is a rural baby, familiar with agricultural production, Hou Shuangcheng introduced, Chen Guan asked a few words from time to time, almost discussed.

When passing by an apple orchard, Chen Guan went into the garden to look at it and asked Fan Zhongzhong, a forestry technician, what kind of apple is this, how much is the yield per mu, and what is the annual income?

Fan Zhongzhong said that this is Qinguan apple, the yield is very high, and the yield per mu can reach up to 7 or 8,000 catties to more than 10,000 catties during the peak fruit period. But the taste of Qinguan apples is average, and the price can't be sold, and the first-class fruit can be sold for more than two cents or three cents per catty, which is too cheap.

Chen Guan said that two cents a pound is better than planting crops and potatoes? An acre of apple orchard can earn two or three thousand yuan a year, and if there are 10 acres of apple orchard, the annual income will reach two or thirty thousand yuan!

Fan Zhongzhong said that the account can't be calculated like that, the key is that the apple can't be sold. Zhouli Township is too remote, few merchants come here to buy in large quantities, and it is very difficult for fruit farmers to sell apples.

Chen Guan said that the key is that there are few seeds, and there is no big apple industrial base. If Zhouli Township grows 2 acres of apples per capita, the 50,000 acres of apple orchards in the township will give birth to a series of companies specializing in the distribution of apples, and the sales channels will be opened.

Fan Zhongzhong immediately came to the spirit and introduced to Chen Guan that Zhouli Township is very suitable for the development of apples. With a large temperature difference, abundant sunlight, sufficient altitude and fertile land, it is most suitable for growing high-quality apples in a large area. If it is really 2 acres of red Fuji apples per capita, it will become the largest red Fuji planting base in the province, and the income of the people will increase exponentially!

Chen Guan asked suspiciously, then why didn't Apple develop on a large scale before?

Fan Zhongzhong explained that the main reason is that apple trees generally take four to five years to bear fruit, and the production cycle is long and the results are slow. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the common people is not high, and the enthusiasm of the leaders is not high.

This is already very straightforward, it almost doesn't say that the leaders all want political achievements, and they must also make political achievements quickly, and they are not interested in this kind of thing that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants take advantage of the shade.

Chen Guan thought for a while and said: "Lao Fan, as far as I know, the red Fuji Qiao rootstock tree bears fruit in 4-5 years, and the dwarf rootstock bears fruit in three years, and enters the full fruiting period in 5 years. This cycle is not too long. Even if the cycle is a little longer, once the fruit hangs, it will be a profitable thing. I think it's worth doing! Go back, you write me a feasibility report! ”

Fan Zhongzhong's eyes lit up with excitement, and he replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

Several people went around the fields in the old city village, and when they returned to the village committee, Chen Guancai took out his notebook and asked the village party secretary Hu Wenwen and the village head Zhang Xilai to report on their work.

Hu reported that Laocheng Village has a total population of 2,200 people and is divided into 10 villager groups. There are 26 party members in the village, and the branch committee is composed of 5 people, including branch secretary, deputy secretary, organization committee, propaganda committee, and discipline inspection committee; The village committee is composed of 5 people, including a village head, a deputy village head, a clerk, a member of the women's federation, and a member of the security committee.

Chen Guan asked, "Lao Hu, can the militia in your village still play a role?" Why are there no militia members in the village council? ”

Hu said that these years have been different from the past, and the militia organizations have basically been paralyzed. There used to be a militia company in the old city village, but now there is basically no such structure. The militia is under the management of the armed forces department of the township, and the training is organized by the armed forces department, and the village committee does not have such a position as a militia company commander.

Chen Guan put a big question mark on his notebook!

Hu Wenwen is very familiar with the situation in the old city and village, and it is very clear how much cultivated land is, how much barren mountains there are, how much forest land is, and how much summer and autumn grain are produced.

After Hu finished the report, Chen Guan asked the two committees of Laocheng Village what they thought about the next step of economic development.

Hu Wenwen said that now is not the time for large collectives in the past, and the two village committees cannot impose rigid rules on what villagers plant and what they do not plant, but can only provide some help in terms of information. The location of the old city village is too remote, and it is impossible to set up a business, so the villagers can only be guided to a variety of cash crops according to the actual situation. Specifically, it is necessary to expand the area under potato cultivation.

After talking for a long time, it means not saying anything!

Chen Guan did not criticize Hu Wenwen and Zhang Xilai in person, nor did he say what should be done about the work of the old city village, closed the notebook, said goodbye to Hu Wenwen and Zhang Xilai, and left.

That afternoon, Chen Guan ran to another village, and when he returned to the township government, it was already dark.

On the first day of the secretary's arrival, the township government canteen specially reserved rice, corn batter, bar buns, and four dishes: scrambled eggs, vinegared shredded potatoes, cold cucumbers, and fried tomatoes with green peppers.

Yu Kecheng and the others had already eaten, and the three technicians who went to the countryside with Chen Guan, Hou Shuangcheng, Yi Jingfu, Fan Zhongzhong, and the driver Xiao Li also ate with Chen Guan.

After eating, Chen Guan immediately paid according to the price.

The cook in the canteen of the agency is called Zhang Dayou, who is in his 50s and very shrewd. When he saw Chen Guan taking out the money, he was so anxious that he waved his hand, saying that Secretary Chen couldn't pay for this meal anyway, how could a secretary pay for his own meal on the first day he took office? It stands to reason that a table should be set up to welcome you.

Chen Guan said lightly: "It is natural to pay for eating, and whoever eats will pay for it!" I've grown so old that I haven't done anything without paying for food! ”

Zhang Dayou had no choice but to take the money.

Everything depends on how the family takes the lead, and when Chen Guan does this, he invisibly establishes rules. That is, from this day on, there will no longer be the problem of free meals for the secretary and the township chief in the canteen of the township organ in Zhouli.

After eating, Chen Guan returned to his office and saw that it was also a two-room office, with the outer office and the inner room.

The hygiene of the office has been cleaned, and the bedding in the bedroom is also brand new, so it can finally be used for living and working.

Qiu Mingxia, secretary of the party committee, said to Chen Guan a little apologetically, the time was too tight, it was too late, and the office furniture should have been replaced, but now it can only be done according to Secretary Chen's requirements, using the office furniture used by Secretary Tong.

Chen Guan smiled, didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal Qiu Mingxia to go and do his own work.

Qiu Mingxia looks thirty-four or five years old, looks very good, and is neat.

Seeing that Chen Guan didn't mean to talk to herself, Qiu Mingxia felt that the new Secretary Chen was a little cold-faced, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to serve.

After Qiu Mingxia left, Chen Guan sat down at the desk and called Tangtai Mingyue, asking if he had reported and whether his residence had been arranged?

Mingyue told Chen Guan on the phone that he had reported and was very smooth. The accommodation was also arranged, not bad, it was arranged on the stage, and I temporarily lived in the guest house of the provincial hall. The stage said that she could stay here for a few days and then move out after she rented a room.

Chen Guan said that you don't need to rent a house, just buy a house directly. During the renovation period, I lived in the guest house and talked to the guest house, and the long-term package house price was very cheap.

Tantai Mingyue said that it was too wasteful, she thought about renting a private house first, 100 yuan a month, living for half a year, and then moving to a new house after buying and decorating the house.

Chen Guan didn't let Tantai Mingyue go to rent a private house, for fear that it would not be safe, so he insisted that Tantai Mingyue live in a guest house.

Tantai Mingyue also knew that Chen Guan was worried about her safety, so she agreed.

Tangtai Mingyue asked Chen Guan where he was now, was he in the Public Security Bureau or in Zhouli Township?

Chen Guan said that he had reported to Zhouli Township today and went to the village to see the situation in the afternoon.

Lantai Mingyue was at this time when she was beautiful in her heart, and she didn't know how to ask Chen Guan about her life, but said to Chen Guan that both of them had just reported to the new unit, and standing at the same starting point, she wanted to compare with Chen Guan to see who did better!

Chen Guan smiled and said: "Okay, compare and compare, see who does better!" ”

Before he put down the phone of Tai Mingyue, Chen Guan's mobile phone rang non-stop. Du Hui, deputy director of the county public security bureau, Li Tong, head of the criminal investigation brigade, Li Xianghai, head of the national security unit, Yang Xingwang, director of the Tonghua Town Police Station, and Lei Zhimin, instructor, called one after another, all saying hello. Li Tong and Li Xianghai also asked Chen Guan when he would return to the county bureau to work, so that he could ask for instructions.

Yang Xingwang and Lei Zhimin asked Chen Guan when he would go to the Tonghua Town Police Station to inspect the work, saying that they had not seen Director Chen for so long, and the cadres and police were looking forward to Director Chen going to the station to inspect and guide!

Chen Guan's answer to everyone is the same, that is, he must first familiarize himself with the basic situation of Zhouli Township, and then go back to the county bureau office and the police stations he contacted.

That night, Chen Guan lay in bed and thought about a question in his mind: grow apples!
