Niu Li silently calculated: "This is not a small amount of money, just with the three of them, if you want to collect this money, I am afraid it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to collect it, you can't let Mayor Xia not pay back the money he owes to his friends! In this way, I immediately convened a town-wide meeting, organized a number of working groups, and collected the money before the seeds arrived," Secretary Wang said with a serious face.

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." These three villages are all poor villages, and the villagers have no money in the first place, so if they are allowed to use the money to buy this kind of seed before they have any income, I am afraid it will be very difficult to do."

"What then? Have you already thought of a good way, then say it" Secretary Wang said and glanced at Xia Jian. He already knew Xia Jian very well, and if Xia Jian hadn't thought of a good solution, he would never have done it.

Xia Jian thought for a while and said, "I think so, first gather the cadres of these three villages, and let's have a meeting." Let them know the price of this black potato per catty, and how many catties of black potato seeds they can receive in each village, and then calculate the amount."

"This is not difficult, according to the number of acres reported by each village to the growers, but I still don't know where the money comes from," Secretary Wang said a little puzzled.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "Each village takes out loans from banks in the name of the village committee. Each household then sends an IOU to the village committee. When the potatoes are purchased in the following year, the money will be deducted from the IOU by the village committee, and then the loan will be repaid."

"What a solution! With the loan repayment, everyone's problems have been solved, and I will summon the cadres of the village committees to come over for a meeting," Tong Jie said happily, and immediately got up and went back to his office.

Secretary Wang smiled, he glanced at Xia Jian and said, "What else do you need me to do?" “

"Your work is the most important thing. The three villages have to borrow millions of dollars, will the credit union lend them money? When Xia Jian said this, he just laughed, not spoke.

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "It seems that you have already thought about it." Yes! I'll handle it at the bank, you can quickly arrange it, and plant it as soon as the seeds arrive, and you can't be a little negligent in this matter, it's millions in poor villages! Secretary Wang said, and also got up and left.

Niu Li got up and poured a lot of water for Xia Jian, and was about to leave. Xia Jian let her stay, then took out a stack of bills from her bag and said, "This is all the bills for my trip to the United States, you sort it out first and make a complete reimbursement form." The most important thing is the bill for potato seeds.

"It's all in English, I have to compile it, otherwise they won't be able to read it for a while," Niu Li said, taking the bill and leaving.

At this time, the phone on Xia Jian's desk rang. As soon as Xia Jian heard that it was an outside voice, he hurriedly grabbed the phone in his hand, and a stiff voice immediately came from inside: "Mayor Xia!" I'm Chen Jiang."

"Hello Mayor Chen! Is there anything wrong with you? Xia Jian said politely.

Chen Jiang paused on the phone, then suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What do you mean Mayor Xia?" Do you still have the concept of organization in your eyes? I didn't report to the city government when I came back from the United States, what do you want to do? “

"I've already reported to Vice Mayor Qin," Xia Jian said loudly as soon as he was in a hurry.

Chen Jiang was a little angry, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Pingdu is she the one who has the final say?" “

"It's not Mayor Chen, isn't she the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture? Besides, Pingyang Town is the area she focuses on. I think it would be okay to report back to her. If we look for you for big and small things, you are also very annoying, I just need to think like this" Xia Jian patiently explained to Chen Jiang.

When Chen Jiang heard Xia Jian say this, he slowly calmed down. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "You should come to the city hall and give us a detailed oral report, and then talk about the follow-up work of black potato planting."

"Okay, Mayor Chen, I have another meeting in the morning, and I will come to the city government immediately in the afternoon" Xia Jian hurriedly agreed. He knew that Chen Jiang was dissatisfied with him, so he had to be careful everywhere.

At about half past ten, the two village chiefs of Liziwan Village and Hejiaping Village arrived at Xia Jian's office one after another, and Shangxiagou Village was a little far away, so the village chief Ding Changwa came a little late.

Li Hulin, Ding Changwa and Xia Jian are old acquaintances, but He Yonggui, the village chief of Hejiaping Village, met Xia Jian for the first time, and Tong Jie gave them a brief introduction.

He Yonggui looks thirty-four or five years old, and his appearance looks loyal, but his eyes are bright. As the saying goes, people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured. It is impossible for Xia Jian to judge what kind of person He Yonggui is through his own eyes.

Due to the tight time, Xia Jian didn't have the time to talk to them, and directly told the three people about the repayment of the loan. Li Hulin smiled and said: "The leader is really thoughtful, it is best to do this thing like this, otherwise there is really no way to solve the problem of this money."

Ding Changwa said in a loud voice: "Great, as long as you don't collect money, there is no problem with this." I'm most concerned about this kind of thing now, because the people in the village have already prepared the land and are waiting for planting."

He Yonggui never spoke, Xia Jian glanced at him and said, "Why doesn't Village Chief He express his opinion?" Also, what is the situation in your village now? “

"I've been in office for less than a day, but the situation in Hejiaping Village is very bad. There are many villagers whose land has not yet been sorted out, and it is a lie to say that this kind of black potato is a lie, because they don't believe that the price of black potatoes will be so much higher than the price of ordinary potatoes," He Yonggui said a little helplessly.

Li Hulin became angry when he heard it: "Who are you people in Hejiaping Village?" Mayor Xia personally ran the project and ran the seeds. Even the seed money is paid by the bank for us. We're just planting a thing, how can there be so many words. None of our families in Liziwan Village are willing to pull down, and they are all rushing to plant."

"So be it! If you Hejiaping Village really don't plant it, give us all the seeds to Shangxiagou Village, and what we have is land," Ding Changwa said with a laugh.

He Yonggui smiled and said, "How can it be done?" Just think that your own village is rich. I will find a way to do this, but I have no opinion on what Mayor Xia just said, but I must have a clear account, so that it is possible to convince the public."

"Oops! You, Village Chief He, are really troublesome, can Mayor Xia still lie to us? Can you not have heard? The cost of his trip to the United States this time is all his own money," Li Hulin couldn't help but say.

He Yonggui looked embarrassed, and he still wanted to say a few words. But Xia Jian had already stood up, he picked up the phone on the table, called Niu Li, and asked her to bring the documents and *.

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa just made it up casually, but He Yonggui looked at it very carefully, and asked Niu Li two sentences if he didn't understand, Niu Li explained one by one, He Yonggui smiled and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia is really doing things without leakage, so it is easy to explain to the villagers"

"Well said! Secretary Niu made three copies of the black potato seeds and asked the three village chiefs to take them back to the village. Since there is no objection to this matter, it will be carried out quickly. The seeds will be there in seventeen or eighteen days, as long as they arrive, they will be planted immediately, and whoever delays will be responsible," Xia Jian said in a very blunt tone.

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa patted their chests and made a guarantee, but He Yonggui didn't, he smiled and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia! This kind of attention is paid to the humidity of the soil, can you let the meteorological bureau of our city give us a little convenience, that is, the weather forecast for the recent period can be transmitted to us in time"

Tong Jie couldn't help frowning when she heard this, thinking that this person had a lot of things. But Xia Jian smiled and said: "This is no problem, from tomorrow, I will have someone call you to inform you of the weather in Pingyang Town recently."

"Village Chief He! If it doesn't rain all this time, what can you do? Tong Jie asked He Yonggui a little deliberately.

He Yonggui smiled slightly and said: "If it really doesn't rain, even if you use a burden to carry water, you must keep the soil moist, otherwise this kind of seed will not be planted and will not come out in vain, which is a lot of money."

"Well, you two villages should also be prepared in this regard, when the time comes, the materials that come with the seeds will have planting methods and relevant guidance in the later stage, and I will let someone guide you and train at that time" Xia Jian said and glanced at his watch, because he had to go to the city for a meeting in the afternoon.

Tong Jie was very smart, she saw what Xia Jian meant, so she stood up and said, "This will be here today, everyone go back and handle this loan first, and the speed should be fast." Secondly, which is the old saying, everyone is always ready, as soon as the seeds of the black potato arrive, we will plant them immediately."

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa immediately stood up when they heard this, and they laughed and asked everyone to say goodbye. But He Yonggui sat still and didn't leave, and he could see that he had something in his heart.

Sure enough, when Li Hulin and Ding Changwa walked away, He Yonggui ran over and closed the door of Xia Jian's office, and then lowered his voice and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia!" I have something to report to you."

"Good! Now it's just the four of us, you can just say it" Xia Jian said and glanced at Tong Jie, who quickly took the paper and pen.

He Yonggui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since I was elected as the village head by the dignitaries, then I must be worthy of the people of Hejiaping Village, so I have to be responsible for everything, especially during the period when I first took office."

"Hmmm! You don't have any pressure, these leaders in our town will support you, you just throw off your arms and do a good job! Xia Jian encouraged He Yonggui, what he was most afraid of was that He Yonggui would say that he would quit. Because many village cadres are like this, they will be elected today and resign tomorrow.

He Yonggui nodded and said: "Hejiaping Village has a large population, and there are many people who benefited from He Shuicheng when he was the village head, so I came to power this time, and there are still many people who are not convinced."

"It doesn't matter much, but for you, the most important thing at the moment is the planting of this batch of black potatoes, if you succeed and make a lot of money, do you think there are any villagers who are not convinced by you?" Xia Jian said and laughed.
