Niu Li calculated silently and said, "This is not a small amount of money. Just because of the three of them, it is probably more difficult to collect all the money than climbing the sky."

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

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. These three villages are all poor villages. The villagers have no money at all. If they ask them to buy such a piece of food before they have any income, it will probably be very difficult to deal with."

"What should I do? Have you thought of a good solution? Let's say it out?" Secretary Wang said and looked at Xia Jian. He already knew Xia Jian very well. If Xia Jian had never thought of a good solution, he would never do this.

Xia Jian thought for a while and said, "I think so. I will first gather the cadres from these three villages and let us hold a meeting. Let them know the price of each kilogram of dark potatoes, and how many kilograms of dark potato seeds they can receive in each village, and then calculate the amount."

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

Xia Jian smiled slightly and said: "Each village will borrow from the bank in the name of the village committee. Then each villager will write an IOU from the village committee. When the potatoes are purchased next year, the money will be deducted from the IOU and then repayed."

"A good idea! I've paid back the loan and everyone's problems have been solved. I'll call the cadres from each village committee to come for a meeting." Tong Jie said happily, and immediately got up and went back to his office.

Secretary Wang smiled and looked at Xia Jian and said, "I need something else to do?"

"Your job is the most important. Three villages have to borrow millions of dollars. Will the credit union lend them money?" Xia Jian said this, just laughing, not talking.

Secretary Wang laughed and said, "It seems that you have already thought about it. OK! I will handle the bank here, so you can arrange it quickly. As soon as the seeds arrive, you can't be negligent about this matter, it's millions in the poor village!" Secretary Wang said, and also got up and left.

Niu Li stood up and poured water for Xia Jian. When she was about to leave, Xia Jian asked her to stay, and then took out a stack of notes from her bag and said, "This is all the notes for my trip to the United States. You can organize them first and make a complete reimbursement form. The most important thing is the notes for potato seeds.

"This is all in English, I have to compile it, otherwise they won't understand it in a while," Niu Li said, leaving with the bill.

At this moment, the phone on Xia Jian’s desk rang. When Xia Jian heard that it was a sound from the outside, he hurriedly grabbed the phone in his hand. A stiff voice came from inside: "Mayor Xia! I am Chen Jiang."

"Hello Mayor Chen! Is there anything you have to do?" Xia Jian said politely.

Chen Jiang paused on the phone, suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What do you mean, Mayor Xia? Is there any concept of organization in your eyes? I didn't report to the municipal government after returning from the United States. What do you want to do?"

"I have reported to Deputy Mayor Qin," Xia Jian said loudly in a hurry.

Chen Jiang was a little angry, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "She has the final say on Pingdu City?"

"Isn't Mayor Chen, isn't she the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture? Besides, Pingyang Town is the area she is in charge of. I think it's okay to report it to her. If we look for you in big and small matters, you will be very annoyed. I just want to think about it like this." Xia Jian was patient and explained to Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang slowly calmed down when he heard Xia Jian say this. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should come to the municipal government to give us a detailed oral report, and then talk about the follow-up work of dark potato planting."

"Okay, Mayor Chen, I have another meeting in the morning, and I immediately came to the city government in the afternoon. Xia Jian quickly agreed to this matter. He knew that Chen Jiang was dissatisfied with him, so he had to be careful in his work.

At about 10:30, the two village chiefs of Liziwan Village and Hejiaping Village went to Xia Jian's office one after another. Shangxiagou Village was a bit far away, so the village chief Ding Changwa came a little late.

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

He Yonggui looks thirty-four or five years old, and looks loyal, but his eyes are bright and energetic. As the saying goes, people should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured. Xia Jian cannot judge what kind of person He Yonggui is through his eyes.

Due to the tight time, Xia Jian didn't have time to talk to them, so he directly told these three people what he had already borrowed. Li Hulin smiled and said, "The leader is really thoughtful. It's best to do this, otherwise there is no way to solve the problem of this money."

Ding Changwa said loudly: "It's great. As long as you don't collect money, there is no problem. What I care most about now is this kind of thing, because the villagers have already prepared all the land and are waiting to plant it."

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

"I have been in office for less than a day, but the situation in Hejiaping Village is very bad. Many villagers' land has not been sorted out yet. It is a lie to say that such dark potatoes are a scam because they do not believe that the price of dark potatoes will be so much higher than that of ordinary potatoes," He Yonggui said helplessly.

Li Hulin became angry as soon as he heard this: "Who are you in Hejiaping Village? Mayor Xia personally went to the project and the seeds. Even the seed money was paid by the bank for us. We just planted it, so how could there be so many statements? None of our Liziwan Village is willing to pull it down and they all rushed to plant it."

"Let's do this! If you don't plant Hejiaping Village, you can give us all the seeds to Xiagou Village. We have some land," Ding Changwa said with a laugh.

He Yonggui smiled and said, "How can that work? I just thought that you are rich in the village. I will find a way to do this, but I have no objection to what Mayor Xia said just now. I just need to have a clear account so that I can convince the public."

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

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

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa just made up and looked at it casually, but He Yonggui looked very carefully. He asked Niu Li a few words if he didn't understand. Niu Li explained one by one. He Yonggui smiled and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia is really flawless in his work. This is easy to explain to the villagers."

"It's easy to say! Secretary Niu copied three copies of the dark potato seeds and asked the three village chiefs to take them back to the village. Since no one has any objections to this matter, we will continue to implement it quickly. The seeds will be there in another seventeen or eighteen days. As soon as the goods arrive, they will be planted immediately. Whoever delays will be responsible for it," Xia Jian said in a very stiff tone.

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa patted their chests to make a guarantee, but He Yonggui did not. He smiled and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia! This is a matter of soil humidity. Can you let our city's meteorological bureau give us some convenience, that is, to convey the weather forecast for the recent period to us in a timely manner."

Tong Jie couldn't help but frown when she heard this, thinking that there were so many things in this person. But Xia Jian smiled and said, "This is okay. From tomorrow, I will have someone call to notify you of the weather in Pingyang Town recently."

"College He! If it didn't rain for this period of time, what would you do?" Tong Jie asked He Yonggui a little deliberately.

He Yonggui smiled and said, "If it really doesn't rain, even if you use a load to carry water, you must keep the soil moist. Otherwise, it will be useless if you can't plant this seed. This is a lot of money."

"Well said, you two villages should also be prepared for this. At that time, the information about the seeds will be planted and related guidance for the later stage. At that time, I will ask someone to provide you with guidance and training." Xia Jian said as he looked at his watch, because he would go to the city for a meeting in the afternoon.

Tong Jie is very smart. She saw what Xia Jian meant, so she stood up and said, "Today we will be here. When you go back, you must first handle the loan, and the speed should be fast. Secondly, there is an old saying, everyone is always ready. As soon as the seeds of dark potatoes arrive, we will plant them immediately."

Li Hulin and Ding Changwa immediately stood up as soon as they heard this. They laughed and asked everyone to say goodbye. But He Yonggui sat down and didn't leave. It was obvious that he was pretending to be 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, then lowered his voice and said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia! I have something to report to you."

"Okay! Now there are only four of us, just say that." Xia Jian said and winked at Tong Jie. Tong Jie quickly took the paper and pen.

He Yonggui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since I have been elected as the village chief by the people, 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."

"Well! Don't have any pressure. These leaders in our town will support you. Just throw your arms and do it well!" Xia Jian encouraged He Yonggui. What he feared most was that He Yonggui said he would quit. Because many village cadres are like this, they will resign tomorrow for election.

He Yonggui nodded and said, "Hejiaping Village has a large population, and many people benefited from He Shuicheng when he was the village chief, so many people still dissatisfied when I came to the stage this time."
