Unexpectedly, a week has passed. Qiao Liang has been dealing with official duties in the office these days. His body is recovering better and better, and his injured right shoulder has begun to be able to exert a little more strength.
As his body recovered, Qiao Liang began to make arrangements for outings.
The first stop of the outing for research and inspection, Qiao Liang still went to the poverty-stricken village he was linked to - Linnei Village, Nanshan Township.
The beekeeping professional cooperative in Linnei Village has been established with government support. The county has invested 300,000 yuan in advance as a start-up capital. The first batch of villagers who are interested in trying beekeeping can apply for interest-free loans from the cooperative.
Qiao Liang came to Linnei Village for the first activity he arranged after his injury. It was not for show, but to let people see the importance he attached to poverty alleviation work.
This is the case with many government tasks. Only when the top leaders pay attention can the lower departments really work hard to promote it.
Qiao Liang came here today mainly to see how the first batch of villagers participating in the pilot project are progressing.
Under the leadership of the cadre stationed in the village, Qiao Liang went to the home of one of the villagers. According to the cadre stationed in the village, this was the most courageous villager. He borrowed more than 20,000 yuan from the cooperative and bought 30 beehives in one go.
Breeding.
Listening to the introduction of the village cadres, Qiao Liang asked the person in charge of the accompanying Agricultural Bureau, "Are the beekeeping technical instructors in place?"
"Yes, we have hired a professional beekeeping expert to provide guidance to the villagers at any time." The person in charge of the Agriculture Bureau replied.
Qiao Liang nodded, and with the villagers leading the way, he came to the edge of the field where the beehives were placed, and asked with great interest, "How many times a year can artificially bred bees like this harvest honey?"
"Leader, I have just learned this. I have to ask an expert to find out." The villager who was asked said with a naive smile.
As soon as the villagers finished speaking, a man following the person in charge of the Agricultural Bureau came out quickly and replied, "County Chief, if you use live frame beehives like this, you can take honey as long as the beehives are full, regardless of the season.
"
"Really? How many kilograms of honey can such a beehive produce in a year?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"That's not necessarily true. It's usually between 30 and 60 pounds. If you have a good year, it can be over a hundred pounds a year." The man replied.
"Oh, does the villagers' main income come from selling honey?" Qiao Liang asked again.
The man replied with a smile, "Bee breeding, the honey produced is an important source of income, but there is another major source of income, which is the sale of beehives. According to the current market conditions, a beehive can be sold for about 800 yuan. If you cultivate one,
One hundred beehives, that’s 80,000 yuan, which is a lot of income. I’ve seen the natural conditions in Linnei Village and it’s really suitable for bee farming.”
"Then it seems that this is the right path." Qiao Liang looked at the villager next to him and encouraged, "If you work hard, you will have a bright future. I hope you can become the first person in Linnei Village to get rid of poverty and become rich, and then you will lead other people to do so.
Let’s get rid of poverty and become rich together.”
"Thank you for the leadership's support. I will work hard. I am also grateful to the county for its good policy, which allows us to obtain interest-free loans from the county." The villagers said gratefully.
When Qiao Liang saw that the villagers were speaking in a decent manner, he couldn't help but glance at the township cadres behind him, wondering if it was the township cadres who taught the villagers to say this.
"County Chief Qiao, our township thinks this beekeeping professional cooperative model is very good, and we want to promote it to the entire township. What do you think?" asked the accompanying township chief.
"Okay, as long as you think it's feasible, then promote it in the township. Maybe this bee breeding industry can become the pillar industry of your Nanshan Township." Qiao Liang said.
The two of them were talking when suddenly, "Bang -" a crisp gunshot sounded nearby, startling everyone present, especially Qiao Liang, who had just been shot and now has a gunshot wound on his right shoulder.
Before he fully recovered, he heard gunshots. Qiao Liang was frightened. He turned around and looked around, staring, "Where did the gunshots come from?"
The accompanying village cadres looked at each other in confusion. Most of them had no idea what was going on. One or two seemed to know the inside story, with a strange look in their eyes.
When no one answered, Qiao Liang looked at the village cadre and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
The cadres stationed in the village seemed to know the situation. They looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.
"Why, you didn't report what you knew?" Qiao Liang's face turned cold.
"No, no, Magistrate Qiao, I don't mean that. It's just that I don't know the situation very well, but the gunfire seems to be coming from the forest reserve." The cadre stationed in the village said quickly.
He actually knew the inside story, but he just didn't dare to say it openly.
Just as the village cadre finished speaking, "Pah!" Another gunshot rang out, almost frightening Qiao Liang. Damn, he was a little nervous about the gunshot after being shot.
He reacted like a frightened bird.
At this time, the person in charge of the Agriculture Bureau asked, "Is it possible that someone is poaching wild animals in the reserve?"
"Poaching wild animals?" Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. It was really possible. Otherwise, why would gunshots be heard in the reserve?
Qiao Liang looked a little unhappy and looked at the village cadres, "Aren't there forest rangers in the reserve? Don't they patrol the mountains on a daily basis?"
"Yes, rangers patrol the mountains every day." A village cadre replied.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang frowned slightly. There were forest rangers in the reserve. Are wild animal poachers so rampant?
"Let's go and take a look." Qiao Liang walked towards the protected area and ordered, "Ask the township police station to dispatch police immediately."
The village is very close to the protected area. To be precise, the village is actually within the scope of the forest protected area. At the foot of the mountain, there is a sentry post specially set up to intercept foreign vehicles and prevent strange vehicles from entering the forest area. This is to prevent
Someone comes in to poach wild animals.
The group of people had not gone far when they saw two villagers wearing ranger armbands walking down the mountain. Qiao Liang saw the two people, waved over and asked, "That was the gunshot coming from the mountain just now."
?”
The two forest rangers were stunned when they heard this. They did not recognize Qiao Liang, but when they saw the normally aloof township cadre standing respectfully behind Qiao Liang, they knew that the Qiao Liang in front of them was a very important person without having to guess.
The two forest rangers did not answer, but secretly glanced at the village cadre, as if they were looking at each other's eyes.
The little moves between the two were noticed by Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang immediately looked at the village cadre and said coldly, "You know what's going on, don't you?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, I..." The village cadre stuttered, wanting to say but not daring to say it.
Qiao Liang has been to Linnei Village three times today. He originally had a good impression of this township cadre stationed in the village, but now his performance has made Qiao Liang very disappointed.
Now Qiao Liang stopped asking questions and pointed at the two forest rangers and said, "You two lead the way. I want to see who is so bold and blatantly comes to the reserve to poach wild animals."
The two forest rangers stood still, but looked at the village cadre stationed in the village. Qiao Liang sneered when he saw this, "Okay, it seems that I can't speak well."
"County Magistrate Qiao asked you to lead the way, why don't you hurry up?" The village cadre trembled when Qiao Liang saw him, and he shouted quickly.
A group of people walked up the mountain under the leadership of the forest ranger. Just after walking for a while, Qiao Liang saw several men walking down. One of them was carrying a shotgun, and the other was carrying an unknown animal.
He was quite big, so several people walked down chatting and laughing.
Qiao Liang's pupils shrank, and his eyes focused directly on the man in the middle. The man was none other than Wu Jiang, the chairman of Dong Aluminum Group.
Wu Jiang obviously didn't expect to meet Qiao Liang here. When he saw Qiao Liang, Wu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Hey, isn't this County Magistrate Qiao? Nice to meet you."
"Dr. Wu, you blatantly bring people to the reserve to poach wild animals. This is a violation of the law." Qiao Liang did not respond, but asked.
"County Chief Qiao, what you said is poaching." Wu Jiang said with a smile.
"The witnesses and physical evidence are all there. Does Chairman Wu have anything else to argue with?" Qiao Liang looked at the people next to Wu Jiang with sharp eyes.
After hearing Qiao Liang's words, the smile on Wu Jiang's face slowly disappeared. He could see that Qiao Liang had no intention of giving him face at all, otherwise the other party would not question him in front of so many people, but should
Turn one eye and close one eye.
After calming down his expression, Wu Jiang said calmly, "County Chief Qiao, which one of your eyes has seen me poaching wild animals? I didn't hold a gun, and I didn't take any wild animals. Look at my empty hands. You can't slander anyone."
Hearing what Wu Jiang said, Qiao Liang almost vomited blood. Damn, Wu Jiang could really tell lies with his eyes open. Did he think everyone present was a fool?
No one present believed what Wu Jiang said, but obviously no one dared to stand up and say anything. Wu Jiang looked at the village cadre as if he was demonstrating. He was the deputy head of the township. Wu Jiang knew him and smiled slightly.
, asked, "Chang Zhang, do you think I have poached wild animals?"
"This..." The deputy mayor was at a loss for words and lowered his head under Wu Jiang's gaze, not daring to say anything.
"County Magistrate Qiao, have you seen this? I'm not poaching wild animals, I'm just accompanying my friends." Wu Jiang turned to Qiao Liang and said calmly.
Qiao Liang said nothing with a cold face. Wu Jiang was indeed empty-handed and took nothing. But among the people, Wu Jiang stood in the middle. The man next to him with a shotgun and a wild animal looked like a follower. This was so important.
Qiao Liang wouldn't believe it to death if he said Wu Jiang came here with someone else.
At this moment, people from the township police station arrived. Qiao Liang's expression perked up, and he pointed at a few people in Wujiang and said, "These people are suspected of poaching wild animals. Take them back and investigate them carefully. No matter who they are, as long as they break the law, they will be punished."
Get to the bottom of it."
"County Magistrate Qiao, you have such a strong tone." Wu Jiang's face turned cold and he stared at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang was unafraid and looked at Wu Jiang. (To be continued)
