pinnacle of power

Although Liu Qingyu is wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, he is tall and straight, with extraordinary temperament. Although the tall peasant is quite tall, standing with Liu Qingyu, he is still two or three times lower than Liu Qingyu In addition, Liu Qingyu drove a Haval h6 and handed him Zhonghua cigarettes. He was very sensible at first glance, so the tall farmer and other farmers looked at Liu Qingyu very pleasingly.

The tall farmer took a deep puff of the cigarette, and after exhaling, he said slowly: "I said, little brother, if you want to do the potato business this year, I advise you, don't 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 can we lose money?" Liu Qingyu asked deliberately pretending to be very puzzled.

The tall farmer sighed and said: "If you buy potatoes when the price is high in previous years, you will definitely make money, but this year, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Last year, the potatoes we planted could not be sold at all. Many People simply rot in the ground and leave it alone, and this year, I estimate that many people will choose not to plant any more."

Liu Qingyu pointed to the surrounding mulches and said, "No way? I see that there are so many mulches around you, don't you grow potatoes?"

The tall farmer was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly and said, "Potatoes? What a joke! If potatoes are planted in this kind of land, we farmers will all have to drink the northwest wind."

Liu Qingyu was also stunned when he heard the words, and said with a look of astonishment on his face, "What? Isn't this land grown with potatoes?"

The tall farmer immediately smiled 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 that we farmers lost a lot of money. The county government knew to let us plant the land, saying that we planted potatoes to give compensation! As a result, we planted potatoes, and the compensation was also given. But the compensation of 100 yuan per mu is not enough for fertilizers. The more we plant, the more we will lose. So, most of us don’t plan to plant this year.”

"Since we don't plant any more, why is the ground covered with film? Isn't it only when the land is planted?" At this moment, Liu Qingyu had some guesses in his heart. However, he I still can't believe it.

Hearing this, the tall farmer showed a hint of disdain and said, "Film covering? Is this kind of thing new?" When he said this, he looked around and confirmed that there were no strangers before he lowered his voice a little. The voice said: "Let me tell you, don't look at such a large piece of land covered with film, in fact, these films are our village cadres in order to cope with the inspection from above. The plowed land is directly covered with plastic film, but in fact, no potatoes are planted in the field."

At this time, a farmer next to him with mud spots on his clothes said with a bit of resentment: "Hmph, it's not that those officials do this to put gold on their faces in order to engage in political achievements and face projects." If these officials can use the money for this inspection to subsidize us farmers, our life will not be so sad."

"You still talking about subsidies? It's just wishful thinking. It doesn't matter if the money is not. If these officials can actively help contact the way out when the potatoes are unsalable, help us sell the potatoes like the leaders of the city next door. , even if the price is low, it doesn't matter, 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 the leaders for help, but what did the county leaders say? They said that the market in the whole province is not good this year. There is a large harvest of potatoes. The domestic market is saturated. Let's figure it out ourselves.

Hey, now I finally understand why the ancients always said that the prosperous people are suffering, and the dying people are suffering.No matter what time it is, we farmers are the hardest and most tired!When will we meet a parent official who can really think about our common people. "

Afterwards, several other farmers also began to talk one by one. Although everyone expresses the way, their meanings are similar. Last year, Yutang County had a bumper potato harvest, but in the end, many farmers suffered a lot. Potatoes cannot be sold, and the local government has not found a way to solve the farmers' problems. This has greatly frustrated farmers' enthusiasm for planting potatoes this year.Trust in the Yutang county government is at a low point.Although the common people have been hired to cover the film and made some money, in fact, they are very dissatisfied with the image project, performance project, and face project of the local government.

At this time, one of the farmers suddenly said: "Actually, our village director did not make the incident of mulching the open space. He is my cousin, and he was wronged. I heard from him that what happened this time is It was created by the county, and it was said that it was to deal with a new leader surnamed Liu from the city who came to investigate. He also said that the leader surnamed Liu was more irritable and harsh, so he had to be careful in dealing with it, and there should be no lies .

According to me, if it weren't for the leader surnamed Liu who had to come down and transfer a bullshit researcher, they might not have engaged in such a face-saving project.Anyway, these officials know how to torment us ordinary 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 His words were deeply imprinted in his mind.

At the same time, a thought slowly rose in Liu Qingyu's mind: "Officials must not just do research just to show off their political achievements or face, it will only waste people and money. However, research is somewhat Time is very important. Therefore, how to organize the research form well and how to ensure that the research can truly achieve actual results are indeed things that officials must carefully consider, otherwise they will be as the farmer said. , The final result of the investigation is to toss the local officials, toss the common people, and make complaints abound.

When leaving by car, Liu Qingyu directly gave all the boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes he had left to these farmers. Before leaving, Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, folks, this year, with It won't be the same last year."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingyu turned around and left gracefully. Behind them, those 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 My boss is not actually a boss, but more like an official.

How could an official be called brother and brother with peasants like them?And why would you take the initiative to hand them cigarettes to light them?

After getting into the car again, Liu Qingyu drove directly to Yutang County.

On the other side, Zheng Lei, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and others have already arrived at the compound of the Yutang County Party Committee by bus. In the conference room of the county party committee, Tao Zhiming, the secretary of the Yutang County Party Committee, and Jiang Guohai, the county magistrate, reported to Zheng Lei and the group about the past two years of Yutang County Party Committee. A series of achievements of the county in the field of agriculture, especially focusing on the introduction of Yutang County, as a demonstration site for high-yield potato production in Tiandu, the outstanding achievements in the field of potato planting, especially in the potato planting area, annual output and other series of figures In the mouth of the two county party leaders, Yutang County seems to be 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 vowed that the recent Over the past few years, many farmers in the county have made a fortune by growing potatoes.

At the beginning, Zheng Lei had been listening silently.

After they all finished their reports, Zheng Lei asked unhurriedly: "Comrades Tao Zhiming and Jiang Guohai, can any of you tell me what is the difference between your planting area in Yutang County this year and last year compared with this year?" Change? Is farmers’ enthusiasm for growing potatoes high? If high, why? If not high, why?”

When Tao Zhiming heard this question, he rolled his eyes and looked at Jiang Guohai.

Jiang Guohai could only smile wryly. He knew that this was a very difficult question. If he told the truth, 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 and show themselves in front of the leaders. work performance.

For the two of them, they are well versed in the ways of officialdom, and the most important point is to have a thick skin. 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 it is rare for a leader to contact you once or twice. The last thing he wants to hear is that you complain to him. Achievements have been made, that is, the leader has made achievements, and the leader has a bright face.

On the contrary, if you always say that you have such and other problems, and ask the leader for this and that, then the leader will think that you, a cadre, always give him problems. In this way, the leader will not have the impression of you. Well, if there is an opportunity to promote talents, then the leader will definitely choose the kind of people who can do things and be a person for promotion, instead of choosing those cadres who always cause trouble for him.

Of course, being thick-skinned is also a technical job. Even if you want to brag in front of the leader, you must grasp a certain degree. You must understand what the leader really thinks in your heart. Target the target, and don't brag about it, otherwise, the leader will think you are impetuous and unwilling to promote you.

At this moment, facing this question from Zheng Lei, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Jiang Guohai really had a headache. How should he answer it?
