Chapter Thirty-Eight: Finger Pingdong River
Pushing open the two wooden doors, although the small courtyard is dilapidated, the Wu-style architectural style is still faintly visible. An old man with gray hair is cleaning the roasted tea stove on the edge of the west house, this kind of stove is connected to three pots, sequential operation, divided into raw pot, two green pots and cooked pots, the pot is inclined to 20-30 degrees, finishing, kneading strips in one go, very exquisite personal skills.
The old man's body seemed to be a little inconvenient, his hands kept trembling, he accidentally touched the roasted tea broom by the stove, and he wanted to bend down to pick it up, but he couldn't reach it, and the sweat droplets on his forehead kept flowing down on the cold day.
A slender and clean hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, picked up the broom, and a gentle voice sounded at the same time:
"Old man, I'll come."
The old man turned his head, the vertical and horizontal wrinkles were as deep as a knife carving, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Wen Liang, and then smiled gratefully, and said, "Young man, thank you, you are here to find someone in the village, right?" What's the name, I know everyone in the village......"
Wen Liang helped him to stand up, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "I came to you, Uncle Wang!" â
Only then did the old king see the people behind him and said, "Looking for me?" Who are you? â
Wen Liang looked around, and replied, "Uncle, do you live alone?" â
The old king looked at his courtyard with his gaze and sighed: "My wife left a few years ago, if it weren't for the filial piety of my three sons, my old bones would have gone underground to see her a long time ago." But now, now God doesn't open his eyes, and they are also ...... pillars Also ......"
As he spoke, dirty tears burst out of his old eyes, shaking from his hands to his feet, and Wen Yu hurriedly comforted: "Uncle, don't be sad, if you have anything to tell me, I won't hide it from you, I came here this time to help you solve the problem." â
Hearing Wen Liang say this, Lao Wang raised his head violently, the young man in front of him was in his early twenties, unlike those leaders who looked like pregnant mothers-in-law with big bellies, and the surprise in his eyes turned into doubts again, and said, "You...... Can you call the shots? â
Yao Sheng moved over and introduced: "Wang Qiming, this is Mr. Wen of Biluochun Tea Company, if you have any requirements, whether your tea garden will accept it or not, and how to collect it, he will have to make a decision in the end." â
The old king understood it, and instantly figured it out, knelt on the ground, pulled the corner of Wen Liang's clothes and cried: "Mr. Wen, please let my three sons go, if you want to blame my old man, I shouldn't confront the government, it's not about the pillars...... Take the tea garden if you want, I don't want a penny, just let my son come back......"
Green mountains and green waters, where heaven is, but the most worrying thing in the world, is there more than the sorrow of a septuagenarian? This sorrow originated from the official business, but not the disaster of the official business, since ancient times, no matter the dynasty Chen Xie, the system changes, but the people's livelihood is difficult, Li Shu is sad, there has never been a change in nature.
Wen Liang bent down, helped the old man up, sat on a small stool under the eaves, and then half-squatted down, took the old man's hand, and said: "Uncle, the people below don't know how important things to do, I'll say sorry to you first, whether the tea garden sells or not, it's up to you to decide, we are businessmen, not robbers, you can put a hundred hearts." As for your son...... Director Yao, you come ......"
Yao Shang followed, standing still beside Wen Liang. Wen Liang pointed at her and said: "This is Director Yao of the county government, she speaks more effectively than me, she will let your son come back today, and I promise that no one will come to embarrass you again." â
Yao Sheng nodded and said, "I'll report to Secretary Fu when I go back, and I will let them come back tonight at the latest." â
Wang Qiming stared at the two of them, maybe it was the act of Wen Liang picking up the broom just now that made him feel that this person could be trusted, or maybe the gentle tone and expression told him that this young man who looked young must have done what he said, anyway, at that moment, the fear of more than a day seemed to have found an outlet, and suddenly the old tears were rampant, and said: "Good people, God has opened your eyes, you are good people...... "...,
After appeasing the old man, Wen Liang sent someone to find the party secretary and village chief of Donghe Village, and at the same time, Zhao Xiaoquan, the secretary and mayor of Xiting Town, also received the news, for fear that something would happen to Wen Liang Yao Sheng and others, so he hurriedly rushed over with the staff of the town. No. 120 people poured into Wang Qiming's house, and the already small courtyard was crowded, and later it was the branch secretary Guo Huaiti, and all the people moved to the Mingshan Hall in the village to discuss matters.
Mingshan Hall, as the name suggests, is the old building of the Ming Dynasty, the courtyard wall is full of mottled white paint, the gate is simple, but there is a hole in the inside, a narrow road extends to the outside of the entrance hall in the north-south direction, there are guest halls and gardens on the east side of the gate, the main hall is in the middle of the back, the wall of the shadow wall is obliquely built with grinding bricks, the roof is covered with small green tiles, the eaves are dripping tiles, the eaves are carved with auspicious figures, Rui beasts and flowers and geometric patterns, various techniques are used perfectly, and the patterns are still clear and bright after hundreds of years.
Wen Liang looked at these buildings full of historical vicissitudes, remembered the developed cultural tourism industry in Wujiang in later generations, and sighed: "This is all treasures, if you repair it well, combined with the tea tree garden in the village, it will definitely attract many people to ......"
Zhao Xiaoquan is thirty years old, but I don't know if he works too hard or is addicted to some kind of entertainment, not only is he short and fat, but his forehead is bald, and his appearance can only be described as obscene. The small eyes are always squinted into a slit, and no matter how they look at men and women, they are like picking off each other's clothes. At this time, he was accompanying Wen Liang, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What does Mr. Wen mean, can this place be developed into a tourist attraction?" But this dilapidated old house is everywhere in the town, and no one is interested! â
Wen Liang smiled and said nothing, but Yao Sheng didn't follow it, and said angrily: "How can there be anything that is half of a person's appetite?" Mr. Wen, if you don't say one, two, three, beware of Wu Jiang listing you as persona non grata and deporting you! â
After speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed first, and the coquettish demeanor of Jiangnan Beauty was clear at a glance. Zhao Xiaoquan's eyes were about to fall out, how could he not know that Director Yao Xiangyao, who had only been transferred to Wujiang County not long ago, although he had not had much dealing, he had already heard that she was not smiling, and she was a dignified young woman of the first class in the county party committee, but how could she be so familiar with this young Mr. Wen?
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Xiaoquan to lead the way in front of him, Wen Xiang slowed down, approached Yao Shang's body, lowered his voice and smiled: "It doesn't matter if Wu Jiang doesn't welcome me, as long as Director Yao welcomes me, I will be satisfied." â
Yao Shang's face turned red, he glanced at him delicately, lowered his head and no longer paid attention to the gentleness, and quickly walked into the main hall.
Wen Liang looked at her swaying back and smiled faintly, how could his intention be a little Biluochun? With tea as the fulcrum, cut into the county economic circle of Wujiang, and then take Wujiang County as the center, vigorously integrate the tourism resources of the Taihu Lake region, and finally set up a stage for culture, sing for the economy, attack Wuzhou, and radiate the whole province, so as to step one foot deep into the bones of Suhai Province, and it cannot be pulled out.
So don't talk about a Yao Sheng who has just met him, even ten Yao Sheng are stripped naked and standing in front of him, and it is even more difficult to ask about his plan.
Seeing that the environment here was acceptable and the area was large, Wen Yu instructed Guo Huai to take the members of the village committee and the leaders of each village group to inform the villagers who had made trouble yesterday, and let them elect 10 representatives to attend the meeting, and at the same time let the villagers who had signed the purchase contract also choose 10 representatives to participate.
Security Secretary Fan Bo and the others still don't know how Wen Liang intends to solve this incident, but in view of Uncle Wen's consistent and exhaustive expression, Hou is still at ease. Yao Sheng and Zhao Xiaoquan were not so calm, especially Zhao Xiaoquan was one of the parties who personally experienced yesterday's riots, and he was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, lest he make any more trouble, and said: "Let's have a meeting to discuss it first, the villager representatives are not in a hurry to inform ......"...,
Wen Liang smiled: "Don't worry, I will never make it difficult for Director Yao and Mayor Zhao, not only will there be no chaos today, but I will also make the masses grateful to the two leaders." â
This cowhide is blown big, Zhao Xiaoquan must not believe it, smiled, and found a place to sit. Yao Sheng was very curious about what kind of means Wen Liang had to persuade these tea farmers, and kindly advised: "Don't be reckless, if you really can't solve it, just put the responsibility on us." â
"Secretary Fu has a subordinate like you who turns his elbow outward, but it is really a high incense that has burned for three lifetimes. Aren't you afraid that Secretary Fu will trouble you? â
Yao Sheng smiled with a calm expression, obviously not taking Fu Minzhi in her eyes.
This woman is not simple, interesting, really interesting!
Wen Liang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
About an hour later, Guo Huai walked into Mingshan Hall with the representatives elected by the villagers, and the sound of chirping did not stop for a moment, until Wen Liang took the loudspeaker handed by Guo Huai, stood on the steps of the main hall and coughed twice, and everyone quieted down.
"Folks, let me introduce myself first, my surname is Wen, and I am the general manager of the tea company that you scolded from yesterday to today. What is a general manager? It's that the boss is often reasonable! Yesterday, because of our mistakes in work, we brought trouble to the leaders of Xiting Town and the villagers of Donghe Village, and I apologize to you on behalf of Wujiang Biluochun Tea Company. â
The crowd in the audience was in an uproar, how many years have I only seen a decent person who bullied you and kicked your feet, who has ever heard of people apologizing to the people? They got together and whispered to each other, some surprised, some confused, and some moved, but they were still half convinced.
Wen Liang bowed deeply first, then straightened up and smiled: "Of course, some people say what is the use of apologizing, people have also been arrested, and the tea garden has also been accepted...... Yes, it is really useless to apologize, but I also promise you that the people who are arrested will be released back today, and the tea garden will be returned to everyone today, our company, don't want it! â
Zhao Xiaoquan is in a hurry, ancestor, alas, this is the idea you want? The tea farmers' troubles will stop after a few days, and the common people have some ways to rectify them. But you want to throw your ass and leave, and I haven't been eaten raw by Boss Fu, who is bent on attracting investment?
He thought that Yao Sheng had a good relationship with Wen Xiang, so he hurriedly gave Yao Sheng a look and asked her to stop Wen Xiang from talking nonsense, but Yao Sheng sat still, shook his head slightly, and motioned to Zhao Xiaoquan to calm down and continue to listen to Wen Xiang.
Zhao Xiaoquan was in a hurry to have a stroke and met a slow man, the tears in his little eyes were about to come out, and he didn't see Yao Sheng move, so he had to sit on the chair with his head down, thinking about how to deal with Fu Minzhi's anger, and he didn't even hear what Wen Yu said.
Everyone in the audience also looked at each other, speaking from the heart, everyone also knows the current shape, and the tea garden will die sooner or later! If the dealer's tea can't be sold, no one will buy their tea, and if there is no tea, there will be no income, so what's the use of guarding a broken tea garden? It's better to plant some wheat and rice, at least you won't starve to death all year round!
Ordinary people have their own thoughts, and some people really don't want to sell, such as Wang Qiming, who treats the tea garden as an ancestral heirloom and intends to pass it down from generation to generation; But some people want to raise the price by making trouble, and try to sell as much as possible; There are also some wall grasses, everyone sells me and I sell, everyone coaxes me and I coax, anyway, I don't come out, but don't ignore my storage zĂ i, this kind of is generally commonly known as a-stirring stick, which is not powerful, but enough to disgust people.
With these three kinds of people, there are disagreements, and with disagreements, things are easy to solve. As soon as Wen Yu's voice fell, a person walked out of the crowd and said: "It's someone else's business that others don't sell, my tea garden has signed a contract with your company, you don't want it if you say don't want it, how can it be so cheap?" ââŚ,
Another person rushed out, pointed at this person and scolded: "Liu Laosan, what did everyone say last night, you little more than Yangzi talk to yourself, and the copper tenant has a thousand heels in his eyes, and he loves a wallet on his forehead!" â
Wu Zhou's words were said quickly and urgently, and Wen was confused when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Yao Shang. Yao Sheng raised her chin proudly, with a look of "you don't understand", which was very cute.
Liu Laosan's face was ashamed when he was scolded, but he still said stubbornly: "I sell my garden, you can't take care of it!" What is the situation at this moment, not for sale? Don't sell it and wait for it to rot your hands? â
Both of them had supporters, and the yard immediately became a mess. successfully provoked the internal contradictions of the people, Wen Liang is still the appearance of the approachable Tong Suo, pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "It turns out that there are still people who want to sell!" In this way, since I came to Wujiang to invest, I naturally want the people of Wujiang to get benefits. Originally, the company had to collect enough 7,000 acres to make a profit, but it couldn't see everyone lose their livelihood, right? Then I'll give you an idea, you listen, if it's suitable, continue to talk below, if it's not suitable, I don't have a word, leave immediately, and never come to trouble you folks. â
An elder-looking man walked out on crutches, he should have been very famous in the village, and Liu Laosan and the person who scolded him became very respectful. The elder said: "Boss Wen is doing great things, and he shouldn't pit us ordinary people, so I will be arrogant once, and listen to Boss Wen's ideas on behalf of the whole village." If it is appropriate, I promise that no one in the village will ever look for trouble on purpose. â
Wen Liang walked down, took the old man's hand and stood on the steps together, and said: "Okay, my idea is actually very simple, that is, to establish a tea farmer cooperative in Xihe Village, operate independently, manage democratically, join voluntarily, and withdraw from the free ......."
(Well, for security reasons, Wuzhong District was named Wu and a river was chosen, but I forgot that there is really a Wujiang County in Suzhou...... Bow and apologize to Wujiang's readers...... This book is pure fiction and there will be no similarities! ďź
