The rolling mill took a secretary and a deputy head of the propaganda section, and there was no big impression on the workers.

Everyone should still go to work every day, get off work, count the workpieces every day, and get paid every month.

Before I knew it, it was June.

The Jiaodaokou Police Station found out many grain dealers in several black markets around it, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion:

The source of food for these grain dealers all points to a mysterious figure in the end: the grain king.

Under normal circumstances, grain dealers secretly go to the countryside to collect grain by themselves, and every brigade and commune, in addition to the public grain that should be paid, every household has grain in their hands.

When grain dealers go to the countryside to collect grain, they can receive a lot of fine grain as long as the price is slightly raised.

After all, there are many people in the countryside who have precious grains, and except for the good food during the New Year, the rest of the time is coarse grain.

They sold all the extra fine grain to the grain dealers, either for money or for coarse grain.

As for coarse grains, they are generally workers and cadres in the cities, and those who have a well-to-do family will exchange their monthly coarse grain quota for a part of fine grain.

The neighborhood office and the police station have turned a blind eye to these things, and as long as there is no major chaos, they will not hold on to it.

The families of workers and cadres in the cities are better, and the coarse grain will not be changed if it is not exchanged. But not the peasants in the countryside.

One pound of fine grain can be exchanged for at least three pounds of coarse grain, and one pound of fine grain is barely enough for a strong laborer in the family to eat for a day.

But if you want to change to coarse grains, you can eat it for three days.

If you really encounter a shortage of green and yellow and don't let them change the fine grain, you really can't wait for the next grain distribution.

Therefore, for a place like Pigeon City, as long as there is no large-scale sale of grain, the transaction of three or five catties, or ten catties, almost no one cares.

However, if there is really a character like the "food king", whether it is the street office or the police station, it is impossible to let it go.

If nothing else, I'll just ask you one question:

Now that the whole country is short of food, where did you get so much food to sell?

No matter how you answer it, this is a proposition!

Therefore, in the past half a month, the grain sellers who have been wandering around the pigeon market have either been cats at home or at the police station.

After work that day, Xu Qiang went home with a popsicle in his mouth, stuffed the remaining half into his little nephew's mouth, and sat down to eat.

Xu Damao glanced at the popsicle in his son's mouth with envy on his face, and wanted to grab a bite, but looking at the tigress beside his son, he finally suppressed this idea.

"Qiangzi, I heard that the deputy director of Jin'er Qu was investigated by the Ministry of Industry?"

Xu Damao is now the only deputy chief of the Propaganda Section, and Section Chief Pang takes a fancy to him very much and is willing to tell him anything.

Xu Qiang nodded: "It's just a matter of asking questions, there shouldn't be any big problems." ”

Of course, there is one sentence he did not say: the real problem is Director Yang.

Deputy Director Li has been going to his father-in-law's house more and more diligently in the past few days, and Director Yang estimates that he won't last long.

Mainly, from last year to this year, the factory has been chaotic and unstable, and personnel changes are even more casual, just like visiting a vegetable market.

Director Yang, as the leader of production and personnel, is not brilliant in the production of Hongxing Rolling Mill, and the personnel is like this.

Even if Deputy Director Li is inactive, the Ministry of Industry will definitely talk to him.

However, with Deputy Director Li fanning the flames by his side, Director Yang, who could have been criticized and finished, may now face the situation of early retirement.

Xu Damao looked at Xu Qiang suspiciously, obviously not believing the authenticity of his words.

Xue Congshan suddenly became a secretary and suddenly fell, to put it bluntly, it was a sword pushed out by Director Yang to deal with Deputy Director Li.

Now that the sword is broken, it's time for the two bigwigs to end up in person, right?

Deputy Director Qu has always been Director Yang's person, and now that something happened to him, it must be Deputy Director Li's handiwork.

Since Deputy Director Li has done it, it is definitely impossible to lift it high and put it down gently.

How could Deputy Director Qu be fine?

Xu Qiang didn't explain, he ate a bowl in three or two bites, got up and went to serve another bowl.

Xu Damao also quickly finished eating a bowl, beckoned his daughter-in-law to serve him another bowl, and continued to ask:

"Yi Zhonghai, that old guy really has two brushes, although the picket position was lost, but the deputy director still kept it."

"And, you don't know, that old guy has a very good reputation in the workshop now, and any worker who mentions him is full of praise."

When Xu Damao said this, he suddenly looked up at Xu Qiang, and asked:

"Did you give him a thumbs up?"

Xu Qiang grinned and shook his hand at Xu Damao: "Fifty yuan." ”

Xu Damao's eyes widened: "What fifty yuan?" ”

However, then he reacted:

"Huh? Fifty bucks? You just said something to him and earned fifty dollars? ”

Xu Qiang nodded: "That old guy is cunning, even if I don't remind him, he can think of this layer." ”

"There are only two eighth-level workers in the factory, if he is willing to dig out his heart and lungs, let alone give it to a deputy director, even if it is a director, the leader above will agree."

Xu Damao thought about it carefully, and also felt that Xu Qiang was reasonable, if it weren't for Liu Dongfang's constant pressure over the years, Yi Zhonghai's old bastard would have been promoted to deputy director long ago.

The two brothers chatted a few words, and after eating, they took Komatsu to the alley for a walk.

At this time, the sun is going down, the weather is a little cooler, and there are many people sitting in the streets and alleys, all of whom are old men who have just finished eating.

Xiao Song went to play with his children, Xu Damao and Xu Qiang saw that Silly Zhu was sitting in a few big men and bragged, and the two also sat down.

After talking to a few old men around for a long time, when they saw that it was completely dark, everyone went home.

Xu Qiang returned to his room, took a shower and went to sleep with his head covered.

The next day, Sunday, he wanted to sleep well and wake up naturally, but ...... It was just too hot.

At half past seven in the morning, he couldn't sleep in the heat, so he got up to wash up and cook by himself.

The weather was very hot, and he was going to make cold noodles to eat.

Eating cold noodles is a happy thing, he simply uses pure white noodles and noodles, and the two noodles affect the taste too much.

Hearing that there was movement at his brother's house next door, Xu Qiang went out to say hello, saying that he was cooking here and would be able to eat later.

Komatsu knew that it was his uncle who cooked, and smiled happily.

There is no other reason, the uncle produced it, it must be a high-quality product!

After eating, Xu Qiang was about to ride a bicycle on the street for a while, and found that Zhang Yujin had come.

As soon as he saw Xu Qiang, a smile appeared on his face:

Xu Qiang is a true evil sect, as long as the case has something to do with him, it will definitely become a big case in the end.

After half a month of investigation, they have initially grasped some basic information about the "grain king."

Moreover, the city bureau attaches great importance to the matter of food, and has now set up a special task force to investigate.

"Qiangzi, you are right, the upper authorities have already started to investigate the Qiao family, and I believe it will not take long to have results."

Xu Qiang was also very happy to hear this result, every time the Qiao family started looking for grain dealers, he suspected that these grain dealers had some unknown relationship with the Qiao family.

Sure enough, after some investigation, I touched the big fish of the "food king".

Now as long as they take care of this fish, everything they want will slowly surface.
