Chapter 62: Empty, Lonely

Thanks to "(Scarecrow)" for the tip!

………………

The next day, at the regular meeting of the Party Committee of Liuwu Town, Wang Zhangfa threw out a plan to enrich the people, intending to let the farmers in the town start planting fruit trees and apple trees, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Comrades, this apple tree species is an old classmate of mine, and now a fruit tree expert of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, specially recommended to me, according to the research of my old classmate, this kind of sapling is particularly suitable for the Jiangnan area, here is some information, everyone take a look." So saying, he distributed the prepared documents to the people.

He Haojun flipped through it casually, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "I don't understand this matter, I'm a veteran, big boss, if you have any ideas, you can express your opinions." ”

Wang Zhangfa has been in a bad mood these days, and his temper is also extremely hot, he can often be heard reprimanding the secretary in the office, at this time, he has a black face, like a dead father, and everyone is not good at touching his brows, so he doesn't speak, He Haojun looked around, and when he saw that Yan Feng frowned slightly, he asked with a smile: "Comrade Yan Feng, what, do you have any ideas?" ”

Shi Yanfeng coughed, raised his head and said loudly: "I think everyone knows that oranges are oranges when they are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges when they are born in Huaibei, and this principle also applies to apples!" The apple tree is a kind of temperate fruit tree that likes low temperature and dryness, requiring no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, the appropriate temperature range is 9~14 °C per year, the extreme low temperature in winter is not less than -12 °C, and the highest monthly average temperature in summer is not higher than 20 °C, which has always been suitable for northern growth, and we here are like ice cellars in winter, like a stove in summer, and often rainy in spring and autumn, which is not suitable for the growth of apple trees at all, rashly introduced, I am afraid it ......"

Everyone was speechless, and said in their hearts, they didn't know that Shi Yanfeng was so familiar with the growth of apple trees! As everyone knows, he worked in an ecological farm for a period of time in his later life, and he knows more about ordinary fruit trees.

Wang Zhangfa had already had a lot of opinions on Shi Yanfeng, and at this time he couldn't help but be very displeased, and said: "Comrade Yanfeng, I think you didn't read it carefully, the information is clearly written, this is a kind of apple tree species that has been transformed, cultivated, screened, and successfully selected and bred to be suitable for planting in our south, with high yield and good fruit quality, and has obtained good economic benefits in some other areas of our province, and its appearance will break the shackles of the concept that the temperature conditions in the south of our Yangtze River are not suitable for apple planting for thousands of years. Now is the period of reform and opening up, we should emancipate our minds, have this opportunity to boldly introduce, seize, you know, if I don't ask again and again, and the expert is an old classmate, I'm afraid people may not be willing to transfer this technology to us! ”

Shi Yanfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "If it can be successful in other places, it may not be successful in our place, if it has to be carried out, I suggest that you first choose a small test site, conduct small-scale verification, and then carry out large-scale promotion when it does have higher economic benefits." ”

Wang Zhangfa sneered lightly and asked rhetorically: "Do you know how long it takes for an apple tree to grow from a small seedling to blossom and bear fruit?" Ten years of trees, wait for you to verify it, the daylily is cold! Time waits for no one! ”

"Time waits for no one!" Shi Yanfeng nodded, his tone paused, and then he said more firmly, "However, we can't risk the interests of the majority of farmers and friends because of this, this matter is related to the people's livelihood and economic development of our Liuwu Town, so we have to be cautious!" ”

The words were quite serious, and said: "If you have to plant something, I think it is better to carry forward the sericulture, our catkins town has been the hometown of silk since ancient times, and the people who plant mulberry and raise silkworms have deep technical reserves, and they can completely encourage farmers to plant mulberry and raise silkworms in a big way through the political axe support, industrialize the sericulture, and build a famous sericulture base in the country, isn't it better!" ”

"Hey, nationally famous? We are a well-known poor town in the country, can some of our comrades not be ambitious! Wang Zhangfa knocked heavily on the table and said, "That expert from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences is my old classmate, will people fool me?" ”

Shi Yanfeng said: "This is not a question of flickering or not, but a question of procedure, although it is now reform and opening up, crossing the river by feeling the stones, but we can't think that a stubble is a stubble." Another thing, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, even if the apple tree can really grow and bear fruit, can its quality, sweetness, and taste be compared to the authentic apples of the north? When the time comes, if you can't sell it, there will be big problems! ”

Hu Hongbin immediately echoed and said: "I think Deputy Mayor Shi said it well, if it can't be sold at that time, there will be big problems." Instead of introducing such a strange thing as apples, it is better to be conservative and vigorously develop the sericulture industry. ”

He Haojun nodded and said, "This is related to the interests of the farmers in our town, and we really can't rush it." Although experts have detailed arguments, this matter always gives people a sense of unreliability. I think it's better to discuss it later. Comrade Zhang Fa, do you have anything else? ”

Wang Zhangfa's face sank like water, in fact, he also knew the truth, but when he was a little displeased, Yan Feng dismissed it indiscriminately, remembered another thing about himself, and said: "In addition, it is the construction of the 'new street' that I passed with everyone last time, and it is a top priority!" We only have a decent main street in Liuwu Town, which can't keep up with the development of the situation at all, so after investigation, I plan to expand the small street along the river, demolish houses and expand roads, and clean up the town, so that our Liuwu Town will show a new style, attract more people to open shops, do business, and prosper the economy! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be proud, he had been preparing for a long time, planning to build Riverside Street into an antique style characteristic street, and become a new landmark in Liuwu Town, he had already been angry with He Haojun about this matter, and he had been planning privately with his two henchmen Ge Changxing and Tong Songlin for a long time, at least, these two people would support themselves later, and then fight for Lao Wan and Lao Guo, who have never been so clearly opposed to the political axe, and their side may not have no chance of winning!

Shi Yanfeng couldn't help frowning and asked, "How to demolish the house and expand the road?" At present, our finances are actually beyond our means, and we simply cannot spend much money on urban construction in terms of 'food finance' and 'deficit finance'. He believes that Wang Zhangfa's idea is good, but it is unrealistic, as if the family has nothing to eat, and plans to build a mansion and buy a car, but he is not deliberately opposing for the sake of opposition.

Wang Zhangfa said: "There will always be money squeezed, besides, most of the houses by the river are illegal buildings, and there is no need for much subsidy to demolish them, and they can be enforced by administrative orders!" "Wang Zhangfa has been a little angry recently, and he is a little impulsive when he speaks.

Shi Yanfeng immediately made it clear that he objected: "I don't agree, this is purely a face-saving project, it costs the people and money, and whoever wants to do it will be scolded by the people in the backbone!" ”

Seeing the two facing each other, and Wang Zhangfa was deflated again and again, He Haojun felt an unprecedented inexplicable happiness in his heart, and his perception of Shi Yanfeng became better and better, and he immediately said with a smile: "Let's listen to the opinions of other comrades, let's vote and express our opinions!" ”

Although He Haojun also praised Yan Feng very much and objected, he still smiled and asked for other people's opinions, so that he seemed to be more open-minded, and secondly, through this way of questioning, he could also control the rhythm of the entire meeting, showing his special status as the number one.

Zhang Aimin, member of the organization committee and member of the discipline inspection committee, said: "I think Comrade Yan Feng said very well, it is good to renovate the new streets, but if you force it without money, it will only make people angry and resentful, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Hu Hongbin nodded and said, "I praise the opinion of the deputy mayor at the same time!" Although the new street is good, it is also a political achievement on the surface, but we also have to do what we can. ”

Guo Xiangyang, Minister of Armed Forces, said: "I agree with Comrade Yan Feng's opinion! ”

……

Everyone expressed their support for Shi Yanfeng, and even some older comrades, such as Zhang Aimin, member of the organization committee and member of the discipline inspection committee, and Guo Xiangyang, minister of armed forces, used to call Shi Yanfeng "hour", but now, they have also begun to change their names to "Comrade Yanfeng", showing an equal status.

However, these people are opposed, Wang Zhangfa has long expected it, in peacetime, these people do not belong to their own circle, isn't this Wan Shuquan, deputy secretary of the party committee, has not yet expressed his position, and his two capable generals have not spoken? Immediately, he looked at his two henchmen, Ge Changxing, executive deputy mayor, and Tong Songlin, propaganda commissioner.

Who knows, the opening of these two people is far beyond his expectations!

I only heard Ge Changxing say: "I also praise the opinion of the deputy mayor at the same time!" ”

Tong Songlin hurriedly followed and said, "I also agree!" ”

Suddenly, Wang Zhangfa was like being struck by lightning, and glared at the two people angrily, but after the two finished speaking, they quickly lowered their heads and did not look at Wang Zhangfa. The scene was momentarily awkward.

At this time, not only Wang Zhangfa was surprised, but the others were also confused, and they felt inexplicable. What's wrong? Didn't these two guys always wear a pair of pants with Wang Zhangfa, why did they suddenly turn back today?

He Haojun, Wan Shuquan, Guo Xiangyang, Zhang Aimin and others all looked at Shi Yanfeng, Shi Yanfeng was noncommittal, just took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"Do you two know what you're talking about?" Wang Zhangfa stared at these two guys fiercely, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he questioned with sharp eyes, of course, he didn't dare to shout this sentence in public, but it was actually almost the same as yelling out, that kind of questioning look, the meaning, everyone knows.

Ge Changxing's body trembled, but he never raised his head, he just sighed lightly in his heart, and said secretly: "Lao Wang, brother, I can't help it, I'm sorry, I hope you understand." He remembered that Hu Hongbin invited him to dinner last night and showed him the stack of materials, his little lover gathered to gamble, was arrested by Hu Hongbin, and shook him out! That stupid woman, do you think that if you pull Lao Tzu out, people will let you go? Ge Changxing sighed, he only hopes now that Hu Hongbin will not publicize this matter, especially, don't let his wife know, otherwise, from now on, the family will have no peace!

And Tong Songlin was even more embarrassed, he accepted a few cigarettes from others, and it wasn't a big deal, how did he know, Shi Yanfeng didn't know where to know, and discussed the work with himself yesterday, although he didn't reveal it, he just clicked it openly and secretly, but it also made him feel worried, because, now Secretary He is grasping the construction of a clean government in the party member team, and he can grasp it tightly, if this matter is taken out, he will inevitably be punished with a serious warning from the party. At the same time, he also regretted slightly, he was a person from the party committee, why was he confused and blinded before, and he was actually very close to Wang Zhangfa? Obviously, Shi Yanfeng came to target him because he wanted to deal with Wang Zhangfa, and it was the disaster of the pond fish!
