The person sitting in the driver's seat was Liu Qingyu, and the person sitting in the passenger seat was naturally Jiang Shen.
While driving, Jiang Shen said mockingly to himself: "Secretary Liu, I think I may be the most incompetent secretary in history. Where are the rules for secretaries to drive and secretaries to ride?"
Liu Qingyu smiled and said: "Jiang Shen, we have been together for a while, don't you understand my temper? As long as you do your job well, I will never mess with you.
Well, at work, we have a superior-subordinate relationship, but privately, we are about the same age, and we are brothers. Isn’t it the same for everyone who drives?
What's more, according to my estimation, although I used a civet cat-for-prince strategy to push Zheng Lei out and put him on the front line to conduct research, Hu Ruilin might not have guessed that we would most likely be subdued.
We conducted private visits to conduct research beforehand, so he would definitely arrange for someone to keep an eye on us at all times.
So if he arranges for people to pay attention to us, he will definitely focus on observing the people sitting in the back seat, because under normal circumstances, the leader will sit in that position. Now I am driving and you are sitting in the co-pilot, then it will be difficult for the other party to you.
Thought of it."
Jiang Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Secretary Liu, there's no need to go to such trouble. If you really want to know the actual situation, wouldn't it be the same as following a large group of troops to investigate together? Just ask them to investigate according to your requirements.
?”
Liu Qingyu shook his head and said: "Jiang Shen, things in this officialdom are far from as simple as you think. If you follow the large army to investigate, even if I randomly select places to investigate, there will be so many leaders
The farmers present here did not dare to tell the truth even if they had any difficulties or dissatisfaction. Moreover, many times, whether it was the place where we investigated or the farmers who answered the leaders’ questions, they were often arranged by the local government in advance.
If you want to hear the truth, you still have to do it yourself. This is a summary of my personal experience in officialdom over the years."
When Jiang Shen heard this, he nodded vigorously. He deeply remembered what Liu Qingyu said in his heart.
After a while, Jiang Shen asked again: "Secretary Liu, I still don't understand one thing, which is why you conducted research on agriculture in Yutang County just after you took office? Why don't you start from the industrial field?"
Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Farmers' issues, agricultural issues, rural issues, these three rural issues will always be the issues that I, Liu Qingyu, pay most attention to wherever I am an official. The three rural issues are directly related to
The vital interests of the people and major issues of social stability and development must be highly valued no matter in any historical period.
Jiang Shen, think about it carefully. In the history of China, what is the main driving force for every social change and dynasty change? Who is the main driving force? "
Jiang Shen was very knowledgeable about history and answered without any hesitation: "Farmers."
Liu Qingyu nodded and said: "Yes, it is the farmers. From Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Zicheng to the founding of our New China, throughout the dynasties, if the farmers cannot be fed and clothed, then society will be turbulent and it will affect the entire society.
Social tranquility and development, therefore, by solving the problems of farmers, the stability of this society will have a foundation. This is why our party has always attached great importance to the issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
For Tiandu Province, Tiandu Province is also a major agricultural province, and the potato planting area in Tiandu Province ranks among the best in the country. As the country proposes the strategy of turning potatoes into a staple food, potato planting will have an important impact on the future agricultural field of Tiandu City.
"
Hearing this, Jiang Shen understood the true purpose of Liu Qingyu's investigation. It seemed that everything Secretary Liu did was carefully considered. However, because Secretary Liu was very good at divergent thinking, many of the things he thought about
It's exactly what others didn't expect. It seems that this mode of thinking is worth learning from.
The car Liu Qingyu drives is an ordinary Great Wall Haval H6. This car is relatively durable and was rented directly from the car rental agency by Jiang Shen yesterday.
Soon after the car got off the expressway from the Yutang County exit, it entered National Highway 302. At this moment, both sides of the national highway were covered with endless fields. Looking around, a lot of land near the roadside was covered with white mulch.
Jiang Shen pointed to the mulch films and said: "Secretary Liu, you see, now is a critical period for farmers to plant potatoes and mulch them. Judging from the mulching situation of nearby land, this Yutang County is worthy of being a potato demonstration county. Farmers are planting
Potatoes are still very motivated.”
Liu Qingyu also nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face: "Well, it's indeed good."
Ahead, the bus slowly stopped in a relatively spacious place. The door slowly opened. Zheng Lei got out of the bus accompanied by Hu Ruilin, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and everyone. At this moment, not far from the roadside, there was someone.
A dozen farmers are busy covering the fields with mulch.
Seeing the bus stop in front, Liu Qingyu stopped the bus at a distance of about one kilometer, took out the telescope he had prepared long ago, and silently observed the situation ahead.
.
After Zheng Lei got off the bus, Hu Ruilin said with a smile: "Secretary Zheng, look, there are some farmers over there who are busy. I have people call them over. Let's get to know the situation with them."
Zheng Lei nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."
Soon, Hu Ruilin sent two people over and called three farmers. The farmer standing at the front was well-dressed and quite tall. He always stood on the field and was responsible for directing other farmers to do their work.
Hu Ruilin smiled and said to the tall farmer: "Fellow fellow, this is Comrade Zheng Lei, deputy secretary of the Tiandu Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Zheng is here mainly to conduct field research on the potato planting situation in Yutang County. Secretary Zheng will
If I ask you any questions, just answer them truthfully."
The tall farmer seemed to be very talkative. Although he was a little nervous, he still spoke fluently: "Leader, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
At this moment, the reporter from Tiandu City TV station nearby had prepared his camera and started filming on the spot.
While in the car, Hu Ruilin once gave Zheng Lei a summary of survey questions, mainly about the questions that needed to be asked in this survey, mainly to facilitate Zheng Lei to be targeted when asking questions.
Zheng Lei also took a look at the summary of questions and felt it was quite good.
So, when it was Zheng Lei's turn to ask, he directly asked the question above: "Fellow, how many acres of land does your family have? What are your plans for this year?"
The tall farmer said: "Our family has 7 acres of land, but 18 acres of land have been transferred. Now we have a total of 25 acres of land. I plan to plant all 25 acres of land with potatoes."
"Why grow potatoes?" Zheng Lei asked.
"Because potatoes are a highly adaptable crop. Except for saline-alkali soils, they can be used on any land as long as they can be watered. Especially since the country has recently proposed a strategy to turn potatoes into a staple food, we farmers must also
Keep up with the situation!" The tall farmer said with a naive smile.
Zheng Lei also laughed when he heard this and said jokingly: "Fellow, I really didn't expect you to be a relatively fashionable farmer."
The tall farmer also laughed: "Leader, you don't know that now we farmers are no longer just farming randomly like before. We will also observe the general trend of the country and learn about the market conditions of various crops online.
, some families even sell their agricultural products through online e-commerce platforms. Now, our rural life is much better than before."
Hearing this, Zheng Lei glanced at the tall farmer meaningfully, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Fellow, how was the potato market here last year?"
This question was thought up by Zheng Lei himself and was not on the list given to him by Hu Ruilin.
When the tall farmer heard this question, he immediately hesitated, then looked at Hu Ruilin, scratched his head, then smiled with an unnatural expression and said: "The market last year was not bad."
When Zheng Lei asked the last question, he stared closely at the expression on the tall farmer's face from beginning to end. After listening to the tall farmer's answer, Zheng Lei said with a smile: "Come on, let's take a closer look at this area."
Potato cultivation."
With that said, Zheng Lei walked forward, got off the highway and walked onto the field path. Hu Ruilin followed closely.
After walking a distance of twenty or thirty meters, Hu Ruilin said with a smile: "Secretary Zheng, I think there is nothing to see if we go further. The Yutang County Party Committee and County Government are still waiting for us to pass.
How about we conduct on-the-spot research at key points in the afternoon?"
Zheng Lei glanced into the distance a few times, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Hu Ruilin's expression suddenly became relaxed, and he followed Zheng Lei in the direction of the bus.
Soon after the bus left, the farmers who were busy covering the fields with mulch stood up, walked to the roadside, and began to rest.
Seeing this situation, Liu Qingyu did not move forward immediately and just follow the bus. Instead, he slowly stopped the bus six or seven meters in front of these people, then got out of the bus and walked towards the farmers.
past.
When Liu Qingyu got out of the car, the farmers just glanced at him and didn't care, and were still chatting to themselves.
It wasn't until Liu Qingyu walked in that everyone stopped chatting and looked up at Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu immediately took out a box of brand new Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and handed one to everyone. Initially, these farmers looked at Liu Qingyu with cold eyes, but when everyone saw the Chinese cigarettes, they immediately
As soon as it lit up, the tall farmer took the cigarette to his nose and smelled it. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's a good smoke. Where did it come from, little brother? What do you want from us?" As he said this,
, the tall farmer put the cigarette into his mouth.
At this time, Liu Qingyu immediately took out his lighter and lit it for him. Then he lit the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "We are from Tiandu City. My friend and I plan to start a business of purchasing and selling potatoes this year."
, but I don’t understand the market. After asking around, I found out that our Yutang County is a famous potato planting demonstration county in Tiandu City, so I wanted to come over and actually understand the market.”
