After breakfast the next day, everyone took the Coaster car to Shijiawan Town for investigation, at the request of Zheng Haifeng, today to Shijiawan Town for investigation did not ask for a police car to open the road, the county party committee office only sent a Santana car to lead the way, Yue Haohan and Guo Chenyang and Xiang Yifei of the county party committee political research office sat in the Santana car, all the way to Shijiawan Town.

As soon as the car arrived at the junction of Chengguan Town and Shijiawan Town, it saw two Santana cars parked against the side of the road, and Zhou Junfa, secretary of the town party committee, Zheng Shengqian, mayor of the town, and Zhang Juhong, director of the party and government office, were standing on the side of the road, looking in the direction of the county seat.

Through the car window, Yue Haohan found that Zhou Junfa and the three of them must have thought that there should be a huge convoy, or a police car to open the road, and they didn't notice Yue Haohan and their car at all, they were looking back, Yue Haohan hurriedly reminded the driver Lao Wang: "Master Wang, you turn on the double flashing lights of the car, slow down, pull over, and let Secretary Zhou and their cars in the town walk in front and lead the way." ”

Seeing Santana with double flashing lights and slowly slowing down and stopping against the side of the road, Zhou Junfa and the three of them seemed to react, and hurriedly walked to the car, and the Coaster car that followed Santana closely followed by Santana also played double flashing lights, slowed down and stopped behind Santana, Yue Haohan did not get out of the car, rolled down the window glass, and said to Zhou Junfa who came over: "Secretary Zhou, your car is leading the way in front, let's go directly to Taoshuling Village, and stop next to the Taoyuan on the side of the road in Taoshuling Village. Let Minister Zheng and them visit the peach orchard in Taoshuling Village first. ”

After the arrangement, Zhou Junfa returned to his own car and opened the road in front, and the car of the town mayor Zheng Shengqian pressed behind Coaster, and the four cars naturally formed a small convoy and drove towards Shijiawan Town.

When the convoy arrived at the boundary of Taoshuling Village, they saw several out-of-town trucks parked next to the road from a distance, and the villagers were busy loading boxes of peaches into the cars.

The car stopped against the side of the road, Yue Haohan pushed the car door, walked to the Coaster car that had just stopped, and just arrived at the car door, he saw Gu Zhengshan open the door from the inside, Zheng Haifeng took a step and walked down from the car.

The vehicle that came to buy peaches today was more than the one Yue Haohan encountered when he passed by that day, and the scene was also very lively, Yue Haohan thought, this must have been specially prepared in advance by Shijiawan Town, and it was intended to create a lively atmosphere.

Li Yutao, the women's director of Taohualing Village, was full of smiles, holding an electric horn in her hand, and greeted her in a hurry, and in front of Zheng Haifeng, she greeted Zheng Haifeng generously, and Yue Haohan next to her hurriedly introduced Zheng Haifeng and said: "Minister Zheng, this is Li Yutao, the women's director of Taoshuling Village, and the villagers call her 'Boss Peach'." ”

Zheng Haifeng smiled slightly, shook hands with Li Yutao, and said, "Xiao Li, I heard that you turned this Taoshuling Village into a village that really produces peaches, and the villagers really rely on peaches to get rid of poverty." ”

After all, Li Yutao has been out for many years, and after a short period of restraint, when she saw Zheng Haifeng smiling and amiable, she was no longer nervous, and replied in non-standard Mandarin: "Minister Zheng, one person is not rich, the whole village is rich, and then it is really rich, and I am still a party member, I can't just take care of my own family." ”

Hearing Li Yutao's answer, Zheng Haifeng smiled "ha, ha", pointed at Li Yutao with his finger, turned his head to a large group of people behind him, and said: "Xiao Li said well, one person is not rich, the whole village is really rich, we need such a leader to get rich at the grassroots level, and our village branch is to absorb such people to join the party organization." ”

Zheng Haifeng's words of praise made Li Yutao very excited, and in the face of a large group of provincial, city, county, and town leaders headed by Zheng Haifeng, he talked eloquently, and there was nothing timid.

Yue Haohan stood behind Zheng Haifeng, kept smiling, looked at Li Yutao, and listened to her holding an electric horn to introduce the development of Taoyuan and the income that peaches bring to the people in the village every year.

Seeing Li Yutao's outstanding performance, Yue Haohan thought to himself, it's really good, this woman is a village women's director, it seems that she is overkill, facing the big leaders in the province, she can not mess up, and she can play on the spot.

Zheng Haifeng was obviously very interested in the villagers of Taoshuling Village, who relied on the development of peaches to get rich, turned his head to look at Gu Zhengshan, and said, "How many villages in your county have relied on characteristics to get rich like this?" How many rich leaders are there like Xiao Li? ”

Xiang Chunguang, deputy secretary of the Yanshan Municipal Party Committee, was next to him, and also said with concern: "Minister Zheng, our Yanshan City is a poor area, the industry is underdeveloped, the people's living standards are low, the city has been looking for a way out of poverty in combination with our local reality, Jiangyang County is rich in mountain resources, and it is very suitable to find a way out in the development of one village and one product." ”

Gu Zhengshan said: "Our county party committee, the county government, is also considered in this way, like our county's Wulong Township, Guihuaping Township, many villages, mountain chestnut, walnut, tea and other resources are very rich, we have been guiding in this direction, recently, we have introduced a large tea processing and sales enterprise, settled in Wulong Township, in the next few years can drive the development of tea in several surrounding towns and towns, so that the masses benefit, let our Jiangyang County tea products go out, drive the masses out of poverty."

Zheng Haifeng smiled and walked to a big truck with a Jianghan license plate, and saw a person who looked like a boss, who was directing people to load peaches in front of the truck, and the boss saw Zheng Haifeng and his party coming over, obviously smiling a little restrainedly, rubbing his hands, and said loudly in Jianghan dialect: "Minister Zheng is good!" ”

Zheng Haifeng smiled, pointed to the truck with his finger, and asked, "Come buy peaches?" Jianghan's? ”

The boss replied: "The peaches here are of good quality and sell well in the Jianghan market, and I have been here to order peaches for the past two years, and I signed a purchase and sale contract with the village in advance." ”

Li Yutao, who was standing next to Zheng Haifeng, took the boss's words and introduced: "Minister Zheng, this is Boss Wang in the Jianghan Farmers' Market, specializing in fruit wholesale, Boss Wang comes over every year when the peaches bloom, he first gives us 30% of the purchase price of peaches, and then when he comes to pull peaches, he pays off the rest of the money at one time, and we have been cooperating for two years." ”

Zheng Haifeng smiled, stretched out his hand, shook hands with Boss Wang, and said, "Yes, your method is good!" When peaches bloom in spring, it is the time when peach farmers need to use money to buy fertilizer, you do this, not only to ensure your supply, but also to solve the urgent need for money for the masses to buy means of production, very good, very good! ”

After chatting with Boss Wang, Li Yutao led the way, and took Zheng Haifeng and a group of people to walk towards a peach orchard next to the highway.

Li Yutao took the electric horn to introduce the peach varieties, Zheng Haifeng listened, while reaching out to touch the peaches on the peach tree, his face showed an excited look, at this time, a young woman with a bamboo basket of washed peaches, to everyone, let everyone taste, Li Yutao introduced to Zheng Haifeng, said: "Minister Zheng, my freshly ripe peaches are white and powdery, the peach flesh is also relatively soft, and it tastes sweet and relish, if the peaches are ripe, don't mention them, if you take a bite, a fragrant and sweet juice gushes out, It's a taste you'll never forget. ”

Listening to Li Yutao's eloquent introduction, Zheng Haifeng reached out and took a bright red ripe peach from the bamboo basket held by the young woman, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Li said that I am drooling, then I will taste this ripe peach." When everyone saw Zheng Haifeng holding a peach to taste, they also began to taste it.

From the party members and mass representatives, Zheng Haifeng learned that the villagers of Taoshuling Village were very satisfied with the two village committees to lead everyone to get rich, and everyone was especially grateful to Li Yutao, the village women's director, and agreed that if there was no Li Yutao, the villagers would not be able to get rid of poverty so quickly by relying on the peach industry.

During the discussion with the villagers' representatives, Zheng Haifeng also learned that everyone had great opinions on the excessive burden of special product tax. It's just that Taoshuling Village has mountain farm rental income, and the annual special product tax, half of which is paid by the village collective, and the remaining half is paid by the peach farmers after selling the peaches.

Leaving from Taoshuling Village, the convoy arrived at Shijiawan Town under the guidance of Zhou Junfa's car, Zheng Haifeng was in the town, and visited several town-run enterprises, until about half past eleven o'clock at noon, everyone arrived at Shijiawan Town Government.

Because he had to continue his research in the afternoon, he didn't drink alcohol at noon, and after eating lunch in the town government canteen, Zheng Haifeng and his party were arranged to take a lunch break in the town government guest house.

Taking advantage of this time at noon, Yue Haohan went to Chen Wenhao's room and told Chen Wenhao what his godfather Deng Xuanchang told him last night. This is obviously to retaliate against your brother Tianyu's father-in-law, and he is too bold! I will ask Secretary Xiang and Minister Sheng of Yanshan City in a moment, and ask them to inquire about Zhou Wenting's affairs after they go back. ”

At about 3:30 p.m., under the leadership of Zhou Junfa and Zheng Shengqian, everyone took a car to Zhangjiawa Village for investigation, and also held a forum attended by representatives of party members and the masses under the shade of a big tree on the side of the rice field of Zhang Badming, secretary of the Zhangjiawa Village branch.

In front of Zheng Haifeng, they questioned Zhou Junfa, secretary of the town party committee, and Zheng Shengqian, the mayor of the town, who only knew how to collect money from the common people, and the town cadres did not come down to the village until they collected money, and they usually did not care about the lives of the masses at all.

The city and county leaders actually knew very well in their hearts that the town and village cadres were also very helpless about many things burdened by the peasants, and they wanted to say a few words for the town cadres, but when they looked at Zheng Haifeng, who was sitting there with a serious face and listening attentively to the speeches of the mass deputies, they did not dare to intervene at this time.

Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang sat next to Zheng Haifeng, sweating on their heads, very anxious, a little restless, seeing that the words of the representatives of the masses were becoming more and more intense, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong, Gu Zhengshan really couldn't sit still, and looked at Yue Haohan, who was sitting next to Sheng Qiuming, who was seriously recording with his eyes for help.

Yue Haohan found that Gu Zhengshan looked at his eyes and understood what Gu Zhengshan meant, Yue Haohan also understood in his heart that it was not a matter to let the party members and villager representatives continue to talk like this, it seemed that only he had to bite the bullet and come forward to help resolve such a situation, ease the emotions of the masses, and find a step down for the county and town leaders.

Yue Haohan thought about it for a while, looked at Zheng Haifeng, who was frowning and had a serious face, and took advantage of the gap between a deputy's speech and coughed lightly, and said: "Let me make a statement, the deputies' speeches today are very pertinent and realistic, and they have realistically reflected the situation of the peasants' burdens in our Zhangjiawa Village. You deputies here may have seen me come to your village some time ago, and the county party committee and government arranged for me to come to your village this time, so that our political research office can investigate in detail the real burden situation of your village and grasp first-hand data, and the county party committee and county government plan to comprehensively implement the burden reduction pilot project in the county next year. ”

Yue Haohan's words made the mood of the party members and mass representatives slowly relaxed, and the mass representatives knew that Zheng Haifeng was a big leader from the province, that is, he wanted to pour out the bitter water in his heart in front of a big leader like Zheng Haifeng, plus Yue Haohan came to the village last time to investigate, and most of the party members and mass representatives also saw it with their own eyes, so after Yue Haohan spoke, everyone no longer pointed the finger at the town and village cadres so fiercely.

Yue Haohan resolved the fierce scene at the symposium in a timely manner, so that Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, and Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate, were very grateful, although everyone had also considered it before, and when they came to Zhangjiawa Village to investigate and discuss, the masses would definitely have opinions on the excessive burden, but they didn't expect there to be such a big complaint, Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang were afraid that the masses would fire guns here, which would affect the impression of the two in the minds of Zheng Haifeng, Xiang Chunguang, Sheng Qiuming, etc., and then affect the development of the two in their careers.

Zheng Haifeng after Yue Haohan finished speaking, his serious expression was obviously relaxed, for Zheng Haifeng, the problem of overburdening the name of the farmer, his heart is like a mirror, at Zheng Haifeng's level, more consideration is the institutional factors, this time to go to the overburdened village for research, is to listen to the opinions of the grassroots masses more, so in the depths of Zheng Haifeng's thoughts, there is no too much to blame the leading cadres of the county and town.

After the symposium, Zheng Haifeng visited the sheep breeding of villager Li Fufu, and praised Li Fufu's spirit of not being disabled, especially Li Fufu's ability to drive other poor households to develop sheep and sheep, which made Zheng Haifeng and his party more admired.

After visiting Li Fu's breeding industry, the group went to the Black Dragon Spring again, the place leading to the Black Dragon Spring is not open to cars, everyone can only accompany Zheng Haifeng to walk over, along the way, Yue Haohan told Zheng Haifeng the legend of the Black Dragon Spring he heard last time, but he didn't feel hot and tired, and he soon arrived at the Black Dragon Spring......
