Although Liu Qingyu is wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, he is tall, upright, and has an extraordinary temperament. Although the tall farmer is quite tall, standing next to Liu Qingyu, he is still two or three times lower than Liu Qingyu.
In addition, Liu Qingyu drove a Haval H6 and handed over Chinese cigarettes. He looked very sensible at first glance, so the tall farmer and other farmers looked at Liu Qingyu very favorably.
The tall farmer took a long puff of cigarette, and after exhaling, he said slowly: "Little brother, if you want to do potato business this year, I advise you not to think about it, otherwise you will lose your money."
your."
"Losing money? No way? Didn't we say that our Yutang County is a potato demonstration county? With so many potatoes purchased, how could we lose money?" Liu Qingyu asked deliberately pretending to be very confused.
The tall farmer sighed and said: "If you came to buy potatoes when the price was high in previous years, you would definitely make money, but this year, I'm afraid it would be dangerous. Last year, we couldn't sell the potatoes we grew at all. Many of them could not be sold.
People just let it rot in the ground and leave it alone. This year, I guess many people will choose not to plant anymore."
Liu Qingyu pointed at the mulch films around him and said, "No way? I see that there are so many mulch films around you, aren't they growing potatoes?"
The tall farmer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly and said: "Potatoes? What a joke! If potatoes are planted in such land, we farmers will have to drink from the northwest wind."
Liu Qingyu was stunned when he heard this, and said with astonishment on his face: "What? Aren't potatoes grown on these lands?"
The tall farmer immediately laughed and said: "Of course not, most of these lands are vacant."
"Vacant? Why?"
"Of course it's because the market was so bad last year and we farmers suffered heavy losses. The county government knew that we should be allowed to farm and compensated for growing potatoes! As a result, we planted potatoes and were compensated.
But the compensation of 100 yuan per mu of land is not enough for fertilizer. The more we plant, the more we will pay. So, most of us don’t plan to plant this year.”
"Since we are not planting anymore, why are these lands covered with film? Isn't it only covered with film when planting?" At this moment, Liu Qingyu already had some vague guesses in his heart. However, he
I still couldn't believe it.
Hearing this, the tall farmer showed a trace of disdain on his face and said: "Lamination? Is this kind of thing new?" After saying this, he looked around and confirmed that there was no stranger, and then lowered his voice slightly.
The voice said: "Let me tell you, don't look at such a large area of land covered with film. In fact, these films are made by our village cadres to cope with inspections from above. We farmers are hired to do this before plowing or even after plowing."
The cultivated open land was directly covered with plastic film, but in fact, potatoes were not planted on the land."
At this time, a farmer next to him with mud spots on his clothes said with a bit of resentment: "Huh, it's not like those officials do this just to put money on their faces by doing political performance projects and face-saving projects.
.If these officials could use the money they have to pay for inspections and coatings to subsidize us farmers, our lives would not be so difficult."
"You're talking about subsidies? It's just wishful thinking. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. If these officials could be like the leaders of the city next door, they actively helped us find a way out when the potatoes were unsalable and helped us sell the potatoes.
, it doesn’t matter even if the price is lower, at least we won’t let all the potatoes rot in the ground.
We all organized a group to go to the county to ask for help from the leaders, but what did the county leaders say? People said that the situation in the province is not good this year. There is a large potato harvest, the domestic market is saturated, the international market price is lower than our domestic market, and there is no hope for exports.
Let us figure it out ourselves.
Hey, now I finally understand why the ancients always said that the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering. No matter what time, the most suffering and tiring people are us farmers! When can I meet a parent-official who can really think about us people?
ah."
Afterwards, several other farmers began to talk to each other. Although everyone expressed their words, their meanings were similar. Last year, Yutang County had a bumper potato harvest, but in the end, many farmers suffered heavy losses.
Potatoes cannot be sold, and the local government has not found a way to solve the farmers' problems. This has greatly dampened farmers' enthusiasm for planting potatoes this year. Trust in the Yutang County government has dropped to a low point. Although ordinary people have been employed
They made some money by removing the film, but in fact, they were very dissatisfied with the local government's image project, performance project, and face project.
At this time, one of the farmers suddenly said: "Actually, this incident of vacant land mulching was not caused by our village director. He was my cousin, and he was quite unjust. I heard him say that what happened this time was
The county came up with it to deal with the fact that a new leader named Liu from the city came to investigate. They also said that this leader named Liu has a bad temper and is harsh, so he must be careful to deal with it and not make any mistakes.
.
According to me, if this leader named Liu hadn't come down to do some shitty research, they wouldn't have done this kind of face-saving project. Anyway, these officials know how to torment us people."
Hearing what the farmer said, Liu Qingyu's expression froze for a moment. At this moment, he seemed to have realized something and caught something, but he couldn't explain clearly for a while. However, what the farmer said was
The words were deeply imprinted in his mind.
At the same time, a thought slowly rose in Liu Qingyu's mind: "Officials must not constantly conduct research just to show off their political achievements or face. That will only waste people and money. However, there are some problems with research.
Time is very important, so how to organize the survey form and how to ensure that the survey truly achieves practical results are indeed things that officials must consider carefully, otherwise it will be like what the farmer said.
, the final result of the investigation was tormenting local officials, tormenting the people, and causing widespread complaints.
When leaving in the car, Liu Qingyu gave all the remaining boxes of Chinese cigarettes to these farmers. Before leaving, Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Fellow, don't worry, this year, and
It won’t be the same last year.”
After saying that, Liu Qingyu turned around and left. Behind him, the farmers looked at Liu Qingyu's back with some doubts on their faces. From Liu Qingyu's last words, the tall farmer seemed to feel that this young man
The boss actually doesn’t look like a boss, but more like an official.
How could an official be fraternal with peasants like them? How could he take the initiative to hand them cigarettes and light them?
After getting in the car again, Liu Qingyu drove directly towards the county seat of Yutang County.
On the other side, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zheng Lei and others have taken a bus to the courtyard of the Yutang County Party Committee. In the county committee meeting room, Yutang County Party Committee Secretary Tao Zhiming and County Mayor Jiang Guohai reported to Zheng Lei and others about the past two years in Yutang County.
The county has made a series of achievements in the agricultural field, especially focusing on the outstanding achievements made by Yutang County in the field of potato planting as a demonstration site for high-yield potato creation in Tiandu City, especially in terms of potato planting area, annual output and a series of figures.
Even more efforts have been made. According to the words of the two county party committee leaders, Yutang County is the county with the largest planting area in Tiandu City, and even the county with the largest planting area in the entire Tiandu Province. They also swore that the recent
In recent years, many farmers in the county have become rich by growing potatoes.
At the beginning, Zheng Lei listened silently.
After they all finished their reports, Zheng Lei asked slowly: "Comrades Tao Zhiming and Jiang Guohai, can any of you tell me how your planting area in Yutang County compared with this year?"
Changes? Are farmers highly motivated to grow potatoes? If so, why? If not, why?”
When Tao Zhiming heard this question, he rolled his eyes and looked at Jiang Guohai.
Jiang Guohai could only smile bitterly. He knew that this was a very difficult problem. If he told the truth, then the previous series of bragging would be in vain. If he didn't tell the truth, then they would not be able to praise themselves or show themselves in front of the leaders.
work performance.
For the two of them, they are well versed in the ways of officialdom. The most important thing is to be thick-skinned. As long as they have the opportunity to speak and show their faces in front of the leaders, they must seize every opportunity to brag about their political achievements.
They understand that when a leader rarely comes into contact with you once or twice, the last thing he wants to hear is you complaining to him. What he wants to hear most is what kind of political achievements you have made, because for the leader, you are
Having achieved political achievements means that the leader has achieved political achievements, and the leader's face will be bright.
On the contrary, if you always say that you have such and such problems and ask the leader for this or that, then the leader will think that you, a cadre, always give him problems. In this way, the leader's impression of you will not be the same.
Well, if there is an opportunity to promote talents, then the leader will definitely choose those who can do things and be a good person to promote, instead of choosing to promote those cadres who always cause him trouble.
Of course, being thick-skinned is also a technical job. Even if you want to brag in front of the leader, you must have a good grasp of it. You must understand what the leader is really thinking, you must grasp the leader's psychology, and you must do it.
Be targeted and don't brag randomly. Otherwise, the boss will think you are impetuous and will not be willing to promote you.
At this moment, facing this question from Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zheng Lei, Jiang Guohai really had a headache. How should he answer it?
