Chapter 184
"Your wheat porridge is good, but how about the yield?" Mayor Li said.

"Last year, according to your instructions, I increased the application of potassium and phosphorus. There was no large-scale death of wheat seedlings in winter, but the final growth was still not satisfactory. On average, only about 300 catties were harvested per mu of land."

"One mu of land weighs 300 catties, so it's a lot of loss, right?"

"Yes! There is indeed a lot of loss in terms of farming alone, and the loss will be even greater if the investment in reclamation is included in the early stage! But if it is calculated together with the income from the contracted mining area, the overall profit can still be achieved!"

Deputy Mayor Li suddenly became interested, "Is it profitable now? Tell me, how did you do it?"

Deputy Mayor Li was not at all curious about how the reclamation would be linked to the contract?Instead, he directly asked Yang Dongsheng how he did it.

Yang Dongsheng knew that he had almost guessed right. The contracting of the mines in Shunhe Township was linked to reclamation, and in all likelihood it had something to do with Deputy Mayor Li.

Even if it wasn't benefited by Deputy Mayor Li, it should have been approved by Deputy Mayor Li.

"Actually, I don't have any secrets. It's just four simple words - be willing to invest, after all, you can only gain if you are willing! After doing this a few times, I think it is completely profitable to promote reclamation by contracting mines! , The county listed reclamation as a condition of contracting the mining area, this decision is very wise!"

"Yeah!" Deputy Mayor Li nodded. This was flattering him face-to-face, and the other party did it unintentionally. This feeling made Deputy Mayor Li feel better.

"Mayor Li, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Shouldn't say what should be said, haven't you already said so much? Today you speak freely, I am an audience, no one will blame you!"

"Then I'll just say it straight!" Yang Dongsheng cleared his throat and looked around. Everyone immediately showed nervous expressions, for fear that Yang Dongsheng would get carried away and say something that would make Vice Mayor Li unhappy, "Mayor Li, I am A native of Guazhou! Born and raised in Guazhou, Guazhou is my home! Our Guazhou is a resource-based city, which is our luck and our misfortune! Over the years, in order to exploit minerals , The price we paid in Guazhou is really too high! Just like our Shunhe Township and the neighboring Hedong Township, we watched those coal mines and iron mines ruin the good arable land and the good river. My heart aches, Mayor Li!"

Deputy Mayor Li felt that what Yang Dongsheng said was a bit exaggerated, and couldn't help but said, "The situation in Shunhe Township is actually pretty good!"

"That's because you haven't seen what Shunhe Township was like before! Decades ago, in the river of Shunhe Township, you could catch a big carp with just a net! I have picked up soft-shelled turtles in dry river ditches, I just pick them up casually, I don’t want the small ones, I only pick up the big ones to eat, and if I go down a river ditch, I can pick up a big bucket and take it back, enough to eat for half a month!"

"As expected of a land of fish and rice!" Deputy Mayor Li couldn't help showing his yearning look.

"But this land of fish and rice is not worthy of its name now! Mayor Li, with your knowledge, you don't know that although our land area is large, there is not much land suitable for farming. The land like Guazhou is flat and the altitude is suitable. There is even less cultivation. I know that our country is now centered on economic construction, and we have to make sacrifices in many aspects, but arable land cannot be sacrificed! We have a population of more than 10 billion. Once there is a large gap in our food supply, who will It can’t feed us! And according to my experience, the sooner the reclamation can be carried out, the better! Because due to capillary action, the salinization of the land in the subsidence area will only become more and more serious!”

Deputy Mayor Li nodded solemnly.

Yang Dongsheng said in his heart, it should be a fool, right?After all, Deputy Mayor Li didn't know that he had supernatural powers.

Deputy Mayor Li's secretary finally couldn't bear it anymore. As the deputy mayor of the city government, Deputy Mayor Li was very busy with his time. How could he have time to talk nonsense with Yang Dongsheng here.

Taking advantage of the gap between Yang Dongsheng's speech, the secretary approached Deputy Mayor Li, "Leader, you still have a meeting!"

Deputy Mayor Li immediately came to his senses. He looked at his watch and almost forgot the reason for calling Yang Dongsheng over, "Xiao Yang, that's right! There is something wrong with the county's agriculture. I want Director Li to lead the team over there." Deal with it! But our city's Agricultural Science Institute is short of manpower, and we have to take care of the experimental fields in the institute, so we can't allocate too many manpower. Director Li said that he has accepted your invitation letter and wants to ask for your opinion. What do you think? ?”

Yang Dongsheng glanced at Director Li. It turned out that this was the reason, and it was because of his scientific research.

As for what Deputy Mayor Li discussed, does Yang Dongsheng have a choice?Could he still say no to Vice Mayor Li's request?

Besides, his goal seems to have been achieved.

"I obey the city's decision and put the overall situation first!"

"I'm really sorry!" Director Li held Yang Dongsheng's hand and apologized repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter, the overall situation is the most important thing, the overall situation is the most important!" Yang Dongsheng held Director Li's hand. Today he can see Deputy Mayor Li and talk to him, thanks to Director Li.

At this time, Fatty Huang who was at home suddenly woke up, and looked around vigilantly, "Who is calling me?"

He watched Deputy Mayor Li get into the car.

Yang Dongsheng then rushed outside the Guazhou Daily office.

After waiting for a long meeting, Reporter Zhang walked out of the newspaper office, "Boss Yang, don't worry, today's article must be the first edition!"

"Reporter Zhang, can you tell us more about the reclamation of mining areas in Shunhe Township?"

"No problem, this way the topic will be easier to do!"

"Thank you!" Yang Dongsheng took advantage of the opportunity and stuffed a red envelope, "It's a little meaning. After the special report, there will be a big reward!"

"Boss Yang, don't worry!" Reporter Zhang stuffed the red envelope into his pocket.

Guazhou is located in the northern part of Suzhou Province and is one of the cities farthest from the provincial capital.

Economically, it lags far behind the cities in the south.

In Yang Dongsheng's memory, he seemed to have never seen a provincial leader come to Guazhou.

So far, the highways that have been opened in Jiangsu Province for a few days are all located in the south.

As a result, Guazhou is a bit like "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away".

It's a bad thing, but sometimes it's a good thing!
The second day after Yang Dongsheng returned home, he saw his name on the "Guazhou Daily". The news was published on the first page, and the space was not too small. Yang Dongsheng added a "famous private entrepreneur in our city" in front of his name. .

Immediately afterwards, news came from Hedong Township that the bidding for the first mine had been postponed.

But Yang Dongsheng didn't relax for a few days, because the people from the County Coal Industry Bureau were about to come down.

There was an accident at the Shunhe Coal Mine, and the County Coal Industry Bureau must come down to investigate.
