Chapter 22: An Amazing Promise

Liu Yufeng, unlike others, made a wish to the villagers for the sake of the election, and when the election was successful, he basically did not fulfill it, and the villagers were used to this situation. Some of the villagers agreed, but more often were in a state of half-belief. Because the party branch and village committee led by Qi Shushan leased 200 yuan of land, and this time it suddenly rose by 400 yuan, of course the villagers were happy, because the most they farmed was this income, but most villagers thought it was impossible.

In order to dispel the concerns of the villagers, especially the matter of contracting land, Liu Yufeng made a big move, asking for 500,000 yuan as a deposit from his pocket and putting it in the town finance office. 300,000 yuan is used as a deposit for renting the land, and the other 200,000 yuan is a security deposit for the last two items. If the rent of the land transfer does not reach this amount, the money is used as compensation for the villagers.

The stakes of this measure are big enough, and they would not dare to do it without some strength, not to mention that in this poor and remote rural area, it is really not worth taking such a big risk to run for a village director. This may be what Liu Yufeng said to Zhang Xiaolong "sure"!

Of course, Liu Yufeng is not a whim, let alone reckless, but knows. Before running for village director, Liu Yufeng's classmate Guo Zijun had already expressed that he wanted to use the east wind of "land circulation" to develop a one-stop service for the green processing industry, which required a large amount of land.

Guo Zijun's father Guo Kun is one of the top entrepreneurs in Nanxi City, they operate Tiankun Group assets of billions of yuan, began to do real estate business, and later felt that the real estate business was going downhill, so the direction gradually developed to the countryside, planning to start from the planting, processing, sales as one of the industrial chain.

When Guo Zijun came to see Liu Yufeng last time, the two of them privately inspected the land in Lijiawan Village, and the land fully met the company's requirements in terms of flatness and scale. In terms of price, the price given by Guo Zijun was 500 yuan per mu per year, and Liu Yufeng didn't know that Qi Shushan's rent was 200 yuan, thinking that it was 500 yuan, so he fought for 100 yuan more for the villagers. Guo Zijun agreed to this price by asking his father Guo Kun for instructions, but the precondition was that the land must be in pieces and have a scale.

As for the development of tourism, he did not find investors, but with his businessman's mind, he believes that it is not difficult to find a development company. Take 10,000 steps back, if no one develops. It is also very possible that Liu Yufeng can talk about cooperation with Guo Zijun, as long as the conditions are reasonable, this problem is not big. It's just that there are a lot of people and things involved here, and the town government will definitely get involved, and the county government is also very likely to interfere. This question can only be taken one step at a time, but it must be taken.

News of the deposit quickly spread throughout the town of Toyowa. Lijiawan Village is boiling, the old man and his wife, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, the streets and alleys, and the corners are all talking about this.

Of course, this news quickly reached Qi Shushan's ears, and he never expected Liu Yufeng to dare to make this move. It's too capricious, 500,000, Qi Shushan was taken aback.

When Li Long told him, his first reaction was not to believe it. But Li Long believed that when Liu Yufeng gave him money that day, he saw that the entire purse was full of money, not to mention two or three hundred thousand yuan. When Li Long told Qi Shushan that the deposit was placed in the government finance office, he believed it.

It seems that he has really met an opponent, and he doesn't want to take some measures to really have an accident, but fortunately, there is still Li Long's card, Liu Yufeng gave Li Long 20,000, which is enough for him to drink a pot.

After all, Qi Shushan is a master of manipulating elections for many years, and he reacted quickly. He asked Li Long to interfere with the next Liu Yufeng convening point and prevent the villagers from participating in such activities. And let Li Long arrange some manpower to do something during Liu Yufeng's speech, so as not to let him go smoothly.

After the arrangement, Qi Shushan lit a cigarette and spit out the smoke ring gracefully, imagining Liu Yufeng's various ways of failure. But what Qi Shushan never expected was that Li Long made a mistake.

After Li Long listened to Qi Shushan's instructions, he obeyed unconditionally under normal circumstances. But when I thought of Liu Yufeng's bundle of RMB, I couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of spit. He knew that if he didn't help Liu Yufeng, or even obstructed Liu Yufeng's election, he didn't have the 100,000 yuan he said to himself, even the 80,000 yuan that everyone shared. Therefore, Li Long's idea is that whoever becomes the village director is not a villager, and Liu Yufeng will not suffer a loss if he becomes a village, and he can also get benefits that others can't give.

Li Long naturally knew that he couldn't afford to offend Qi Shushan, so the strategy he adopted was: "Qi Shushan's words, you have to listen, but you don't have to do that." According to the results that Qi Shushan wanted, the report said that as long as Secretary Qi was happy, it would be fine. "This is really not as good as people, of course, this is also because Liu Yufeng has seized the door of Li Long's love of money.

Liu Yufeng's campaign plan went according to plan, and all the plans went smoothly. Of course, Qi Shushan is also very calm, listening to Li Long's report every day, calculating the scene of Liu Yufeng's fiasco.

Finally, the day that everyone is looking forward to has come, and this "everyone" mainly refers to Liu Yufeng, Qi Shushan, Li Long and others. The voting time for the second election is from 5 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with no break at noon and the official vote call at 1 p.m.

On the day of the election, the leading government cadres and the heavily armed police officers of the police station all arrived at 4:30 a.m. to make preparations for the election as early as possible. The ballot box was placed in the conference room, and the deputy secretaries of the town party committee, Cheng Siyuan, Yang Hongwei, and two staff members, as well as Qi Shushan, secretary of the village party branch, and members of the election committee were all in place.

They are mainly responsible for the identification of electors, the regulation of voting, scrutiny, counting of votes and other routine work. In this election, a village chief and three members were elected, one of whom was a woman. Everyone knows that there should be no problem in the election of committee members, and the election of the village head is still very variable because of Liu Yufeng's participation.

After 5 o'clock in the morning, the villagers came to the village committee one after another to start voting. Of course, very few of them came by themselves, and most of them were picked up by special cars, because both the candidates for village head and the candidates for committee members arranged for vehicles to wait for the villagers to come in various natural villages. It was at this time that the villagers really felt the importance of their identity, and you could see the drivers nodding their heads and opening the doors and lighting cigarettes.

Of course, some villagers also had to take this opportunity to pretend to be a handful, some deliberately drank tea at home and let the car wait outside for a while, and some began to put on their clothes, hugging their arms and raising their toes. When it comes to the polling place, the candidates will take the initiative to come forward to talk, just say a few words if they like to be reasonable, and just nod their heads if they don't like to be accosted. In fact, they themselves know that as long as they vote, such treatment will be gone. Otherwise, you'll have to wait three years.
