Official ladder

Seeing the old man's angry expression, Qi Hao hurriedly explained: "I'm not saying I don't believe it, it's just a coincidence!"

"There are even more coincidences!" The old man rolled his eyes at Qi Hao, "Who does not worship the tree god in this area? Back then, the rebel commander said that the tree god was Feng, Zi, and Xiu, and he was against the Red Command. The proletariat must treat the tree god. The dictatorship ordered the tree god to be cut down. The tree god was too big to cut down. The dog-headed army division of the rebel commander offered a plan to pile up firewood for burning. Just as the fire was about to be ignited here, the house of the rebel headquarters was on fire, and even more strangely, the houses of the rebel commander and the dog-headed army division were also on fire, the rebel commander quickly ordered not to burn the tree god!"

Qi Hao looked at the old man in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

The old man glared at Qi Hao: "It's true, if you don't believe me, go check the county chronicles, it's clearly recorded!"

Qi Hao asked: "Now some people want to cut down the tree god, don't they know the story of the tree god?"

The old man said: "Those people say that they are so-called. The tree god is a feudal superstition. When the country is engaged in construction, not only the tree god, but even the gods have to ask him to move his position!"

Qi Hao said with a smile: "They are quite courageous!"

The old man said: "Don't look at them tossing hard, the common people see it, if they dare to move the tree god, they will be punished!"

After listening to the old man's narration, Qi Hao understood that no matter whether these things are true or not, big trees have history and reality, and whoever wants to cut down a big tree is a sinner. everyone.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over there, the old man kept silent, with a look of fear on his face.

Someone called the man Jia Xiangchang, the man nodded and responded.Although he didn't answer, nodding his head can also confirm the identity of that person.

Jia Xiangzhang put his arms behind his back.His face was raised high, and he walked with square steps, highlighting his distinctive official status.

The village head Jia came and the old man under the big tree kept silent, Qi Hao thought to himself.Could it be that the township government has something to do with cutting down the big tree?

The head of the village, Jia, came to the tree with square steps.His eyes swept over the faces of Qi Hao, Shu Xiaohai, and Fan Dayu, and the person who followed the head of Jia said: "This is our head of Jia. What do you do?"

Just as Shu Xiaohai was about to speak, Qi Hao said, "We belong to Ronglian Company. I heard that the villagers are not allowed to cut down trees. The project is almost here. The boss asked me to come over and understand the situation!"

The head of the township Jia straightened his chest and said: "You have seen the situation just now. The quality of the masses is low. Thousands of people came here in a swarm. It is not easy to do ideological work. It is not like your Ronglian company. The government settles everything. .You are making a lot of money in a stable manner!"

Qi Hao said: "The provincial government has regulations, isn't everyone responsible?"

"Hmph!" the village head Jia dissatisfied, "What does it mean to be responsible for each other? To put it bluntly, the provincial government exercises power. You make money, and the subordinates are responsible!"

Although the township level is not considered an official, it can be regarded as the lowest leader of the ruling party and the country. Now that the lowest leader said so, Qi Hao was dumbfounded.

The old people on the side looked at Qi Hao and talked to this man for a long time. It turns out that he is not a tourist, but a member of Ronglian Company!Thinking that Ronglian Company would naturally contact the village god, the old people were shocked and left in a hurry.

"I noticed you as soon as you got under the big tree!" The head of Jia pointed Qi Hao with his finger and said dissatisfiedly, "Obviously knowing that the big tree is a nail household, why don't you go to the township government to ask the leaders to solve it, but here to pester the common people I don’t know, do you think you can cut down a tree with some money? To tell you the truth, the people in this area are tough, and if you don’t ask you to pay 8000 million, you will have to pay [-] million to cut down this tree!”

Hey, the common people didn't talk about the money to cut down the trees at all. The township chief shouted 8000 million or [-] million before he even asked. Qi Hao said: "It takes so much money. You are being taken advantage of by money!"

"Hey? Hey, Ronglian Company is also being wronged. Who will you tell it to!" Jia Xiang said with a smile, "Let's go, go to the township government, let's talk, as long as we have a unified mind, this tree can still be cut down!"

Qi Hao and the three looked at each other, this mayor Jia is famous, the three of them went with the mayor Jia.

The head of the village, Jia, didn't speak all the way, his face was cold and resentful.It's no wonder that the big tree blocked the highway, and Ronglian Company asked him, but he still didn't make a cold expression.

The township government is the old house of the former landlord, which is very old and dilapidated. The person who followed the village chief Jia took Qi Hao and the three of them into a room, which seemed to be a meeting room, but the township chief Jia didn't come in.

The three of Qi Hao were brought into the house, no one offered tea, no one asked Zhuang Yan, and no one was there to accompany them, so the three of them were directly put in the room.

About ten minutes later, there was a sudden noise outside the house. The sound was in sharp contrast to the originally cold and quiet township government, which made people fear that something big was happening.

"Ronglian Company wants to cut down the tree god. They think that they can do whatever they want with the support of the provincial government! What is the tree god? The tree god is the lifeline of the common people. If you want to cut it down without compensation, there is no way!"

"Common people are also human beings who want to eat and drink. The tree god is the feng shui of Ling village. You have broken the feng shui of Ling tree. If the common people want to eat and drink, who can they go to? You don't have to pay to arrange the food and drink for the common people. Don't even think about cutting down the tree god. !"

"It's easy to talk about anything if you pay for it. If you don't pay for it, don't pass through Lingcun on the expressway!"

Qi Hao noticed that the core issue among the noisy people outside was talking about money, that is, trees can be cut down, provided that money is paid.But Qihao also noticed that when he was talking to the old man under the big tree, the old man didn't talk about paying money to cut down the tree god.There must be a reason for the disagreement between the people in the township government and the people under the big tree, and Qi Hao wants to know the reason.

"It doesn't cost money to raise anything now. Is it easy to raise the Tree God in Ling Village for so many years?" Someone's voice outside was very sharp.

The old man under the big tree told about the kindness that the tree god gave to the people, but the common people in the township government said that the common people raised the tree god, and they were the same people. Why is there such a big gap?Qi Hao and the three looked at each other.

"Yugong moved mountains from generation to generation and dug mountains. Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain were dug away. Yugong's family enjoyed the cheap travel. We raised the tree god for thousands of years, watered and fertilized, pruned and cut leaves, and took good care of it. Finally, the tree god Make it what you are now!"

Hey, why does this person have a taste of learning and using the old three "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain"? "Watering and fertilizing, pruning and cutting leaves, and taking good care of them" is a bit literary. The quality of the people in the township government is high!

"Now that the tree god says to cut it down, we will cut it down. We will not embarrass Ronglian Company for national construction. If we want to cut down the tree god, Ronglian company must pay 2 million yuan!"

Oh, 2 million yuan, the lion opened his mouth!It seems that Lingshu not only has a tough folk style, but also has a big appetite!

"Ronglian Company is not allowed to cut down trees without paying money!"

"If you dare to cut down trees without paying, we will fight for them!"

"Within 2 million yuan, we will defend the tree god to the death!"

"Ronglian Company refused to agree to our request, so we went to the construction site to ask Ronglian Company for food!"

"?#￥!%￥#%...￥%!"

The township government was in a mess, and the people's customs and hearts were in a mess, and it was getting out of hand. Qi Hao and the three looked at each other and smiled. The small township government really has that kind of meaning.

"What's the noise, what's the fuss! Isn't there someone from Ronglian Company?" The village head Jia reprimanded someone.

The protagonist Jia Xiangchang appeared on the stage in a sensational atmosphere. As expected, the township government that was still rebelling against Yingtian just now had the only voice of Jia Xiangchang.

The voice of the head of Jiaxiang was full of air and plausible words: "I understand the feelings of the common people for the tree god as a leader. The people of Ronglian Company also have thoughts and feelings. They will not be unreasonable! Look at yourselves. When you see the leaders of Ronglian Company, you will yell nonsense. This is not the way to solve the problem! If you have opinions, you can exchange them with the leaders of Ronglian Company face to face, and seek common ground while reserving minor differences. I believe that Ronglian Company will definitely meet your demands It's settled!"

The head of Jia Township, calmly, not only set the tone for the common people, but also set the tone for the people of Ronglian Company.

When the mayor Jia entered the room, many people poured into the room, and there was a lot of noise, and there was a tendency to not let Qi Hao and the others go if they didn't agree to the conditions today.

The mayor Jia looked at the whole room and asked Qi Hao, "Comrade, what's your name?"

Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, the mayor Jia wants to act, okay, let's act for fun, he said: "My name is Rong, and my name is Yi, easy!"

"It's easy, the name sounds nice!" Jia Xiang asked, "Does the boss of Ronglian Company listen to what you say here?"

Qi Hao said: "As long as it is public opinion, the boss will listen!"

Jia Xiangzhang pointed to the people behind him and said: "They are the people of Ling Village and they represent the public opinion of the people of Ling Village. You should communicate with them to solve the problems encountered in the construction of the expressway. If you don't take the initiative to solve the problems of the people, we will Report it to the county, city, and province, and Ronglian Company will take full responsibility for any problems at that time!"

Oh, the "villagers" are chasing responsibility before talking about public opinion, and the head of the village, Jia, is the first to win, which is not easy!

Qi Hao said: "Major Jia, there are so many people in the room, everyone is making noise, so who do I listen to?"

The mayor Jia thought about it, this is a problem, he said: "As long as you are sincere, I will ask them to send representatives to report!"

Qi Hao said: "It turns out that the chief of the Jia village is that the number of people is king!"

"Who is more king?" Jia Xiangchang's expression changed, "You know the demands of the common people, and Ronglian Company is weighing how to solve it. I still have something to do, so you can talk to them!"

Township Chief Jia turned around and left. The people in the room saw that Township Chief Jia was about to walk away and get out of the way. Qi Hao confirmed that Township Chief Jia was with these people.

Seeing that Mayor Jia was about to leave the door, Qi Hao called out, "Major Jia!"

Township head Jia stopped his body and said: "If you have anything to say, you can tell the masses directly. The masses agree with you and the government has no objections!"

Qi Hao said: "The expressway will pass through Ling Village. If you leave a mess to the common people, then I might as well go to the tree god and settle the matter in front of the tree god. Why do you need to discuss it in your township government?"
