138, Jiang Rong's dilemma
The enthusiasm of several people shopping was not high, and when they met Huang Cuiling, they were sneered at for no reason, and they had no interest in shopping.
"You guys go back first, I'll walk around alone." Li Jiqing said in a low voice.
"Fourth brother" Lin Zichen grabbed Li Ji uneasily.
Gu Mingxuan grabbed Lin Zichen, shook his head slightly at Lin Zichen, and watched Li Ji walk away.
Lin Zichen tightened his eyebrows, he really didn't worry about Li Ji.
Gu Mingxuan sighed in his heart and said, "Don't worry, your fourth brother will be fine, he just feels uncomfortable, it's better to let him find a place to vent alone, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to hold it in his heart." β
"Yes, Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry about Senior Li Ji, I was very angry when I heard what the woman said just now, not to mention that Senior Li Ji is still a classmate with her, it's really annoying." Lin Axia said angrily, but she didn't understand why Gu Mingxuan, who was also a classmate, was not angry at all.
Lin Zichen also understood that Huang Cuiling was a scar in Li Ji's heart, which may not hurt, but it could not be removed.
"Let's go." Lin Zichen sighed and said to Lin Axia and the others.
Several people went back to the rented house of Gu Mingxuan's two brothers, thinking about Li Ji, who went out alone, Lin Zichen became more and more uneasy.
"Brother Mingxuan, do you know the family background of the man next to Huang Cuiling?"
"The man's name is Zeng Quan, my father seems to be the deputy director of the Education Bureau, and my mother opened a restaurant by herself, which is the largest Pinghe restaurant in the county." Gu Mingxuan poured water for a few people, and told Lin Zichen about Zeng Quan's family background, "He is the only son in the family, and he was born in such a rich and powerful family, and his personality is naturally domineering, and even the teachers in the school want to give him some face." β
Hearing that the other party's family background was so extraordinary, Lin Zichen couldn't sit still, "Brother Mingxuan, why don't we talk to Uncle Jiang about this, I'm really afraid that Huang Cuiling's female mouth will be cheap and say some nonsense from Zeng Quan, and then he will make a fuss about his father and prevent my fourth brother from taking the college entrance examination." β
Gu Mingxuan also frowned, "I can't say, seeing that Zeng Quan was fascinated by Huang Cuiling, it is estimated that he can really do this." β
"Then let's talk to Uncle Jiang about it quickly." Gu Mingze said sternly.
"I'll go with Xiao Chen, just drop by to send Xiao Chen a little way." Gu Mingxuan stood up and said.
Li Weiwei and the others couldn't figure out the connection between this matter, and when they saw that Gu Mingxuan had spoken, they were only responsible for nodding and cooperating.
Although Gu Mingze also wanted to open his mouth and follow along, he thought of his eldest brother's ability, so he didn't say anything in the end.
"Brother Mingxuan, let's go." When it comes to Li Ji's future, Lin Zichen does not dare to delay at all.
The two hurried to the health bureau, and Jiang Rong just came back from outside.
Jiang Rong poured tea for the two, looked at Gu Mingxuan and said with a smile: "At first, I heard the doorman say that it was two people, I thought it was your two brothers, but I didn't expect a little girl to come." It's just that this girl's face is familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it. β
Gu Mingxuan laughed when he heard this: "Uncle Jiang, it's a shame that my dad often whispers in my ear that you never forget when you are studying, why can't you even remember where you saw Xiao Chen." β
"Xiao Chen?" Jiang Rong heard this somewhat familiar name, patted his head, and laughed at himself: "Ouch, look at my memory, Xiao Chen Xiao Chen, no wonder this name is so familiar, isn't it Xiao Chen's girl that your father often talks about?" Who is it? Hehehe! β
Lin Zichen took a sip of tea and chuckled: "It is Zichen's honor that Jiang Weichang can remember Zichen. β
"Eh, what's your name Jiang Weichang, just call me Uncle Jiang like Mingxuan and them. I've heard Sting say that you've done a lot of work on the manufactory. β
Jiang Rong's words made Lin Zichen and Gu Mingze's faces change. Gu Mingxuan had an unsurprising expression, while Lin Zichen secretly thought in his heart: It's broken!
Sneaking a glance at Gu Mingxuan with a side face, seeing that the latter didn't react much, Lin Zichen's little heart was a little hurt again. Why isn't the other party surprised at all? Could it be that Gu Stin told him about this? Or was he seeing through it?
No matter which of the above reasons, Lin Zichen felt depressed in his heart, feeling that his secret was known unconsciously.
Fortunately, Lin Zichen still remembered his original intention of coming to Jiang Rong, so he told him about noon in a few words.
After Jiang Rong heard this, he stretched out his hand and slapped the table angrily, which shocked Lin Zichen and Gu Mingxuan to shrink their bodies.
Seeing that his actions scared the two of them, Jiang Rong hurriedly smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've scared the two of you." β
"It's okay, I just don't know why Uncle Jiang is so angry? Could it be that Uncle Jiang had a holiday with Zeng Quan's father. Gu Mingxuan didn't care about Jiang Rong's gaffe, and said his doubts.
Jiang Rong sighed and talked about his holiday with Zeng Quan's father, Zeng Rong.
In fact, it is not uncommon, and the most common thing in officialdom is to fight for power.
Seeing that the deputy county magistrate was about to retire, the people below naturally wanted to compete for this position, and Jiang Rong also took a fancy to this position. In the past two years, Jiang Rong walked around, actively encouraged and helped Gu Siting to run a good manufacturing factory in Fenghezhuang, and added a heavy stroke to his political achievements, which was favored by the county magistrate.
But at this critical juncture, Zeng Rong ran out halfway, wanting to share Jiang Rong's honor, so the two fought.
It stands to reason that one of the two is in charge of the Food Bureau, and the other is in the Education Bureau, and they have two positions that are not related to each other, but because of the high mountain and the emperor of Pinghe County, as long as they have political achievements, they have the qualifications to compete for the position of deputy county magistrate together.
Jiang Rong was angry with Zeng Rong not because the other party wanted to compete for power with him, but because the other party played tricks and took over all the government-related matters of the Fenghezhuang Manufacturing Factory, causing Jiang Rong's already painted achievements to be gone, how to make Jiang Rong swallow this breath.
"So now all the matters related to the cooperation between the Fenghezhuang manufacturing plant and the government are handled by Zeng Rong?" Lin Zichen asked.
"That's right." Thinking that in the past two years, he has run a lot for the manufacturing factory, and how many times he has broken his mouth to bring in so many buyers, and now it's good, these credits have become someone else's, and he is angry when he thinks about it.
Lin Zichen was also angry after hearing this, but he was helpless. The current situation is very unfavorable for them, not only is Li very likely to lose the qualification for the college entrance examination because of Zeng Quan, but even the manufacturing factory may be destroyed by Zeng Rong.
"Uncle Jiang, is there any new move by the government recently?" Don't blame Lin Zichen for thinking so, Jiang Rong manages the affairs of the manufacturing factory well, and he is also friends with Gu Siting, both of them are looking forward to the TongguΓ² manufacturing factory to a higher level, and the manufacturing plant is developing well, how can Jiang Rong let go stupidly, the only thing that can be shown is that the government has a new move, and Jiang Rong has to let go.
Jiang Rong was surprised by Lin Zichen's sensitivity to the current situation, and at the same time simply said some of the government's recent moves, of course, he didn't say it too clearly, after all, these things can't be known to too many people.
"It's really a small move, and the manufacturing plant is not developing well now! As a result, some people who were jealous of the situation were attracted to say that as government officials, they could not only focus on the development of one place, nor could they ignore other townships and towns, so a group of people made a plan to support one township per person, and as for who was in charge of which township was decided by drawing lots. β
When Gu Mingxuan heard this, he followed Jiang Rong's words and said: "So it's their group of people who did tricks and feet, dug a pit and made you have to jump in, and then the matter of the manufacturing factory is in Zeng Rong's hands?" β
Jiang Rong nodded weakly, although what Gu Mingxuan said was not entirely right, but it was not far from ten.
"Then Uncle Jiang, which township did you draw from?" Now that the fate of Fenghezhuang has been decided, there is only another way.
"Donghui Town. I've been there, and there's really not much to do in that place. It is surrounded by mountains, and every household does not have many paddy fields, but there is a lot of dry land, but the fertility is insufficient, and it is impossible to grow good things. Thinking of the Donghui Town he saw, Jiang Rong felt a lot of pressure.
Lin Zichen of Donghui Town still understands, but not in this life, but in the previous life, he has been there a few times. It is indeed surrounded by low hills, and the soil is rocky, and there is not much to grow.
"The soil is poor." Gu Mingxuan muttered to himself, fell into deep thought, and then raised his head suddenly: "Then plant peanuts." β
"Then plant peanuts."
Two voices rang out at the same time.
Lin Zichen and Gu Mingxuan glanced at each other stunned, and then laughed.
"Hehe, you two have a tacit understanding." Jiang Rong said with a smile.
"Uncle Jiang, I think we have found a way to help you develop Donghui Town." Gu Mingxuan smiled, ignoring Jiang Rong's sudden teasing, and said seriously.
"Oh, tell me what you think." Jiang Rong sat on the chair and listened.
Gu Mingxuan glanced at Lin Zichen, saw Lin Zichen smiled and motioned for him to speak first, and then said, "Uncle Jiang, Donghui Town is located in a hilly area, there are not many trees on the mountain, it is not possible to sell wood, and the other plants are only green bamboo, but the local green bamboo is scattered with branches and leaves, and it cannot grow into an upright one, and it is impossible to make some bamboo products." β
Gu Mingxuan paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Then the only hope is on the land, but the land there is not fertile, so we can only consider peanuts with strong adaptability." β
That's all Gu Mingxuan could think of, as for what he could do with growing peanuts, he thought that Lin Zichen should not disappoint them, so he turned his expectant gaze to Lin Zichen, who was calmly drinking tea on the side.
Lin Zichen saw that Jiang Rong and Gu Mingxuan were looking at him, smiled and said, "Peanuts can be used for many purposes, in addition to squeezing oil, they can also be sold." β
"Sell? Who wants to buy this to eat? Jiang Rong didn't know why.
Gu Mingxuan somewhat understood Lin Zichen's plan, but whether it was as he guessed and what Lin Zichen had to say.
"Naturally, we won't buy peanuts to eat, but if we don't buy them, it doesn't mean that people in the city won't buy them!" Lin Zichen said softly, his eyes full of cunning light, "What people in the city like is the original thing, and the peanuts in Donghui Town don't need to be processed too much, just cook them according to the most primitive method and add some salt." β
Jiang Rong and Gu Mingxuan didn't know how attractive this ordinary boiled peanut could be, but Lin Zichen, who had experienced various food safety problems in his previous life, knew it.
For example, in the countryside, salted peanuts that are steamed in a large pot and only salt are added to them, but they are very popular with people in big cities in later generations.
Since it is necessary to develop, it is natural to develop in the long run, and this road is the best choice for Donghui Town. R1152
