The place where Xun Shifei is located is Xiping County.

Li really has a lot of special impressions about this place. I still remember the tragic scene in Lingpeng Village, and I still remember it vividly.

Xiping County is also poor, but it is not as poor and vicious as Jinchang County. The people here are honest. Sure enough, one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people.

The next day, Li Zhen transferred to Xiping County.

Zhang Haiyang strongly suggested that he wanted to follow Li Zhen, but he was refused, allowing him to stay in Jinchang County.

Everyone can see Zhang Haiyang's thoughts, he wants to be promoted.

This time, Jinchangjun did a good job, but it seemed to be pressed all the time, and there was no praise. Zhang Haiyang was in a hurry, he wanted to follow Li Zhen to take a shortcut.

But how could Li Zhen give him the opportunity to take a shortcut? Rejected on the spot.

When they arrived in Xiping County, Xun Shifei and Li Zhen, who came to greet the county lord of Xiping County, greeted each other for a while. And Li Zhen found that Xun Shifei had tanned a lot, and there was some indelible tiredness in his eyes.

I knew in my heart that Xun Shifei was really serious. He has already drilled into it, determined to get Xizhou out of poverty.

These days, Xun Shifei has been mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm for work and the enthusiasm for cultivating grain fields. Many times I went to work in the fields myself.

The prime minister of the country personally rolled up his trouser legs and went to work in the field, and the officials did not dare to slack off at all. The government personnel went into the fields to work, and the people below did not dare to slack off. After a few times, the enthusiasm for working in Xiping County was adjusted.

And Xun Shifei won't just stay in this one place. He was only mainly stationed here.

Constantly traveling to various places, in various towns and villages in Xiping County, they also rolled up their trousers and worked everywhere.

Then he traveled to other nearby counties and continued to play this set.

Xun Shifei is to use the strong pressure of identity to force out the labor enthusiasm of the people in Xizhou. Although there is a suspicion of showmanship, I have to say that this show is beautiful.

"Dean Li, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Prime Minister Xun hasn't seen him for a long time."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Zhen asked, "What is the current situation in Xiping County?" ”

"That's the case. Everyone's enthusiasm for cultivating grain fields is very high, after all, hybrid rice is something that won the Kyushu Science and Technology Award, and the people generally trust hybrid rice. ”

Li Zhen asked again: "How is the feedback on the use of the ploughing machine?" ”

Xun Shifei's face was embarrassed, and he laughed: "Everyone is reluctant to use a plow." ”

Li Zhen frowned: "Is there no one to use the family?" ”

"Well, there is not a single family in Xiping County."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Li Zhen's eyes: "Didn't Prime Minister Xun take the lead in using it?" ”

Xun Shifei was silent for a while: "If I want to work at the grassroots level, I have to dance a hoe." If I have to use a machine to work in the field, and I don't move when I sit on it, then when the people see that I enjoy it so much, won't they think I'm putting on a show? So I didn't use it. ”

And that's just one aspect. Another bigger aspect, in fact, is still that reason, Xun Shifei also thinks that the land planted by people has spirituality. With a plow, it seems that I have lost my spirituality.

This time, Xizhou and the whole state were lifted out of poverty, and Xun Shifei received a military order. He just did it, and it was a credit to keep it as it was. Anything goes wrong, it's a big mistake.

He is counting on the grassroots level in Xizhou to be elected as the Son of Heaven in the next term. So he didn't dare to try anything new, so he just maintained the status quo and he guaranteed it. There's no need to take risks.

That's the biggest factor.

Get.

Li Zhen knew that he didn't need to say any more, Xun Shifei didn't support it, and he didn't oppose it.

The establishment of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau in Xizhou is to save face.

But whether the people use it or not, it has nothing to do with the government.

The government didn't dare to violate Li Zhen's intentions, and neither did Xun Shifei. Therefore, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau was established, and theoretically speaking, the official also supports the use of agricultural machinery by ordinary people.

But that's just theory. In fact, the government bus had to use agricultural machinery to operate. However, due to Li Zhen's prestige, he only supported it on the surface, but did not actually support it.

Therefore, the agricultural machinery bureau in Xizhou is like an ornament. The government supports it on the surface, but it doesn't support it. The people from the Agricultural Machinery Bureau were also helpless. In addition, the people generally do not trust the machine operation, and the Agricultural Machinery Bureau can't force the people to use it in this environment, right?

Li Zhen rubbed his temples with a headache. I sighed in my heart, I still have too little education.

How can farming be involved with metaphysics?

Even the country's Prime Minister Xun Shifei, he ostensibly supports machine production, but he actually does not support it.

Li Zhen is bent on helping the people get rid of poverty and increase productivity, but thousands of mountains and rivers are all obstacles.

Without talking too much nonsense with Xun Shifei or persuading him, Li Zhen took Jia Liping and others to the residence in Xiping County.

"Generally unsupported. Then the Agricultural Machinery Bureau has become an ornament. ”

"Yes, Master Li. Jinchang County uses it so well, why doesn't it taste right in other places? ”

"Come down with me and see what the hell is going on. Metaphysics? This is too mysterious, how can farming be related to spirituality? ”

"Everyone firmly believes that it is the afternoon of hoeing day. It's hard to accept a sudden thing that can be harvested without much physical effort. ”

“……”

With his hands behind his back and a few guards, Li Zhen and Jia Liping went to visit the villages and towns below.

Xizhou's target for this year is not only to get rid of poverty, but also to produce surplus grain. Therefore, the existing arable land is not enough, and all counties are reclaiming wasteland, and it is necessary to grow more food. In fact, there is indeed too little arable land in Xizhou.

But now, as the planting season approaches, Xizhou has changed dramatically.

Li Zhen stood on the top of the field and looked out, there was a lively scene everywhere, and the people were sweating under the scorching sun, digging the wasteland piece by piece with a hoe.

Among these people who have cultivated the land, there are not only mud legs, but also many, many brightly dressed. A young man with leather shoes tied to his waist.

These people were all young and strong civil servants sent by the government, and some of them were a few people who were in the army. But more often than not, it's the public servants.

These people are afraid that their leather shoes will be soiled by farming, so they can only take off their leather shoes and tie them to their waists, and would rather trample in the dirt with bare feet than bear to stain the leather shoes that have been sent down.

This kind of behavior is naturally understood. So at a glance, there is a strange feeling.

In the fields all over the mountains, all the leather shoes are dangling around the waist. Li Zhen couldn't help but show a hint of amusement: "Why don't you say they are not afraid of getting their clothes and pants dirty?" Why are you afraid of getting your shoes dirty? ”

Jia Liping smiled and said: "If your clothes and pants are dirty, you can wash them." Leather shoes are expensive, and if they are trampled on the ground, they will be dirty, and they will be uncomfortable if they are scratched a few marks. ”

"If it were me, I'd just take off my clothes and pants."

"Then where is it, Master Li, you don't understand their mentality. These people who can be sent down to work are all grassroots civil servants, and some have just entered the system. The upright uniform is a symbol of their status. They are afraid that others will mistake them for farmers, so they have to wear those clothes when they work. The effect achieved is that people can see at a glance that this is a civil servant who has been sent down, not a peasant. ”

Li Zhen frowned, but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is something that can't be helped, I hate the poor and love the rich.

There is a general feeling that the status of peasants is low and that the status of civil servants is high. Therefore, when I worked, I would rather wear a uniform and bare feet than be neat and change into peasant clothes.

Jia Liping laughed again: "But the mentality of these people is actually about to be solved." Next year, when the policy comes, all public servants must go down to the grassroots level to exercise, they must help the people get rid of poverty, they must go to the countryside to help the people work, and lead the people to get rich. In this way, they can take root in the masses and let them know deeply what their identity is. I am the one who came out of somewhere. ”
