When Xia Jian returned to Pingyang Town with the old man, Secretary Wang and Tong Jie also came back from the city. When the two of them saw that Xia Jian had brought back such an old man, their mouths suddenly opened in surprise.

"Mayor Xia! Who are you this old man? Tong Jie couldn't help but ask first.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "He is a villager from Hejiaping Village, you quickly help him to Secretary Wang's office, I have something to ask him in a while, you can also participate."

As soon as Tong Jie heard that the old man brought back by Xia Jian was a villager from Hejiaping Village, she understood what was going on. She hurriedly helped the old man to Secretary Wang's office. Because Secretary Wang's office is on the first floor, it will be a little more convenient for the elderly to act.

Xia Jianxian pulled Secretary Wang aside and whispered a few words. Secretary Wang nodded and said, "Very good!" I went to the city and explained the situation to Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee, and he very much agreed with your approach. He can express his attitude to me today, saying that you have done this well, and you will be turned into a regular right person immediately, and it is one step to the main level."

"Hey! I'm really not interested in this," Xia Jian said, and turned around and walked towards Secretary Wang's office.

Secretary Wang shook his head a little helplessly and chased after him from behind.

In Secretary Wang's office, the old man sat on the sofa, holding hot tea in both hands. As soon as he saw Xia Jian coming in, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mayor Xia! Let's get down to business first and then have tea! “

Looking at the old man's eagerness, Xia Jian smiled and said, "Okay! Let's get started. Mayor Tong! You let Niu Li come down and guard at the door of Secretary Wang, don't let the idle people approach, you have to act as a clerk, you have to record all our conversations"

Tong Jie nodded in response and immediately called Niu Li. Everything was ready, Secretary Wang and Xia Jian sat opposite the old man, while Tong Jie took the notebook and sat at Secretary Wang's desk.

"Old man! What's your name, please? Xia Jian asked with a slight smile.

The old man put down the teacup, sighed and said: "My name is Yu Dongliang, I am from Hejiaping Village, and my youngest son's name is Yu Youlin, I am the accountant of Hejiaping, I should have been working for more than ten years!" When the old man said this, he was a little emotional, and his hand holding the teacup couldn't help shaking.

Secretary Wang walked over and sat down beside the old man gently, he lowered his voice and said, "Old man! Don't get excited, just come to us and say whatever you want. I'm the town secretary, and he's the town mayor. Which one writes is also the deputy mayor of our town."

"Huh! That means that several big leaders in Pingyang Town are here! What a difference! I came to you a year ago, and I was received by a female mayor surnamed Ma, but I didn't expect that she not only didn't do anything, but instead told me a meal. She said that I am troubled and should not cause trouble to your leaders" Yu Dongliang sighed and said a little helplessly.

Secretary Wang gently patted the old man's back and said, "You are talking about Mayor Ma Xiaofeng, she has been transferred away due to her poor work. Now the new mayor of Xia is a practical person, you can just say it"

"That's right! I heard that he handled the matter of He Wang in our village very fairly, so I came to him" Yu Dongliang said, looking up at Xia Jian for a while. He seemed to be looking to see if Xia Jian was a cadre who did practical things. It seems that the hometown still has some concerns in his heart.

Xia Jian saw this problem at a glance, he smiled and said, "Old man! I went to your Hejiaping Village today to implement a few things, and to put it bluntly, I want to investigate He Shuicheng. So there are some things that you better say and help us move forward with our work."

"Good! Then I'll just say it. I have four children, three daughters and one son. My son went to high school and had a bit of education, so he teamed up with He Shuicheng to do the work in the village. My son Yu Youlin is an accountant, and He Shuicheng is the village head, and this has been done for many years."

"He Shuicheng is more than ten years older than my son Yu Youlin, and he is treacherous and cunning. The people in the village called him Smiling Tiger behind his back, because he was already loyal, not like a bad person, but in fact, this person was very bad in his bones. Just a few years ago! All of a sudden, my son had hemiplegia and was bedridden all of a sudden."

The old man paused at this point. He took a sip of water, and then said: "This guy who is inferior to a beast took this opportunity to hook up with my daughter-in-law Niu Guilan. My son sees it in his eyes and is angry in his heart. From then on, the big and small affairs in the village were all decided by him and He Shuicheng alone."

"Is there such a thing?" Xia Jian couldn't sit still, he couldn't help but ask.

When Secretary Wang heard this, he lowered his head a little guiltily. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Hejiaping Village is remote and poor, so the town doesn't pay attention to it. It turned out that when Mayor Zhao was there, he sent people down to go through the motions, and then didn't Mayor Ma come, she was even more of a person who didn't do practical things."

When Xia Jian heard this, his heart was about to explode. No matter how poor it is, it is still a village, and if there is a village, there will be people. As the saying goes, there is no mother in the world who thinks her child is ugly. This Hejiaping Village is tantamount to being abandoned by the town.

But in front of the old man, Xia Jian didn't have a good seizure, he just shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile: "You continue to talk about the old man, let's all listen!" “

"Since my son was bedridden, all the ledgers in the village have been carried to his house by He Shuicheng, and no one in the village agrees with him as to what has been altered on them. I heard my son say that these people came, and He Shuicheng, the town's poverty alleviation fund, was not less greedy. There are also retention funds, taxes on agriculture and forestry products, he collects more and pays less" Yu Dongliang said this, he was already out of breath.

The old man's words made Xia Jian and Secretary Wang take aback. Although it is said that the burden on the peasants has been lightened, and there is no need to pay these two payments, this historical issue cannot be left unchecked, because this is the hard-earned money of the people of Hejiaping Village.

Xia Jianzhen never expected that a village cadre in a village would have such a big skill, and he was so bold that he couldn't believe it.

"My son seems to have heard He Shuicheng say that he should have a house in the city, but this house should not be He Shuicheng's name" Yu Dongliang said with his back back on the sofa and his eyes closed.

At such an age, it took a lot of effort for him to say these things, and it was reasonable, so it was strange that he wasn't tired.

Secretary Wang took off his coat and gently covered Yu Dongliang's body. The old man fell asleep and snorted slightly.

Xia Jian gestured to Tong Jie, and the three of them walked out of Secretary Wang's office gently, none of them wanted to disturb the old man's sleep.

Standing in the courtyard, Xia Jian let out a long breath and whispered to Secretary Wang: "Shocking! I didn't expect the chaos in the village to be so serious, it seems that it is not just Hejiaping Village."

"This has been criticized for many years, and once it moves, there will be a major earthquake in Binh Duong Town. You may not know that the poorer the place, the more common such things are, and it's time to clean them up," Secretary Wang said, exhaling a long breath.

Xia Jian didn't understand, as the so-called setting aside radishes to bring out the mud. If this doesn't get it right, it will involve more things, and he may really hit a minefield.

At lunch, Xia Jian asked Niu Li to give the old man Yu Dongliang some food, and the old man ate very happily.

"Let Secretary Niu and Xiao Zhang send the old man to the village, and at the same time ask Secretary Niu to notify the village chiefs of the three villages and let them go to the city for training," Secretary Wang whispered to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian nodded and immediately arranged it. However, he was a little worried that the fact that he took the old man Yu Dongliang to the town government would alarm He Shuicheng?

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Xia Jian turned on the computer. He found an unread email with three exclamation marks on it. Xia Jian hurriedly opened it, this email was sent by Wang Lin.

Xia Jian hurriedly held his breath and read the email in one breath. The above content made him very happy, it turned out that Wang Lin got him a seed called black potato from rice, saying that this potato has a high starch content and has a certain market competitive advantage.

Looking at this email, Xia Jian fell into deep thought, because in the email, Wang Lin asked Xia Jian to go to the United States for inspection, which was a rare opportunity.

First, you can solve the investment projects of these three poor villages in Pingyang Town, and second, you can also meet Wang Lin. said that he didn't want Wang Lin to be fake, there were many dreams, Xia Jian could still dream of her.

Just when Xia Jian was thinking about this question, Secretary Wang suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, he glanced at Xia Jian and asked, "What makes you so happy?" ”

Xia Jian didn't speak, but turned the computer over and let Secretary Wang see it for himself. After Secretary Wang saw it, he smiled and said: "This is a good thing, you immediately report it, because you are going abroad, so the necessary procedures still have to be taken."

"Not now, I have to wait for the end of this incident in Hejiaping Village before leaving, otherwise I won't be able to do it if I am not there at the critical moment!" Xia Jian asked in a low voice.

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "It seems that you are still a little suspicious of my old Wang's work ability." So be it! You make a detailed arrangement and let Tong Jie take over your work. You can't remotely control her on the phone? Besides, things like this won't come to fruition anytime soon, but the time for the next planting won't wait for us! ”

Xia Jian thought about it and felt that this was also the case. But there was another thing he was thinking about in his heart, that is, he wanted to discuss it with Qin Xiaomin, after all, she was the deputy mayor who was in charge of Pingyang Town.

But what is puzzling is that Qin Xiaomin has not come to work yet, and he also called her, but the phone has been turned off. This is bad news, could something happen to her?

"I know what you mean, you want to discuss with Mayor Qin before making a decision. But according to what I heard, it is unknown whether Qin Xiaomin will come to Pingdu or not. It is said that her mother is very sick, and in order to take care of her mother, she is very likely to be transferred to the provincial capital to work," Secretary Wang said to Xia Jian with a serious face.

Xia Jian let out a long breath, and he suddenly said to Secretary Wang: "I want to go to the provincial capital and find Qin Xiaomin." Because the introduction of new varieties from abroad is not a trivial matter, because there are many formalities involved."

"Go with confidence! Tong Jie and I are here," Secretary Wang said briskly.
