The strongest peasant city

Chapter 652 Tian Qing
In the car, the attitude of the traffic policeman changed extremely enthusiastically. If it wasn't for the majestic and upright police uniform on his body, Li Xiaogang would almost regard him as a big brother in the capital.

"Sir, you don't seem to be a local?" the traffic policeman said to Li Xiaogang with a smile.

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "You're right, I just came down from the north." The traffic policeman was about to ask Li Xiaogang how he felt about the south, when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang sharply.

The traffic policeman took out the phone, frowned immediately, hesitated for a long time between answering and not answering, and finally pressed the answer button with gritted teeth.

As soon as the phone on this side was connected, there was a sharp roar from the other end. It sounded like a woman, but Li Xiaogang couldn't understand a word of the shouting.

After the woman finished yelling, the traffic policeman yelled loudly: "What can I do!? I'm just a little traffic policeman. You think I'm the mayor, and I just accept it?"

……

"Think of a way! You know that you want me to think of a way, and you don't even think about it. What can I do? Even if it's a gift, you have to have a place to give it and a place to go through the back door! Anyway, I can't do it, you let me Your cousin will take the grain back first, and sell it when you have a chance!"

"Tsk, I know that his family is in trouble, and that his aunt is anxiously waiting for money to treat his illness, but now the major grain depots in the city have stopped collecting grain long ago. You are a relative of the mayor, and you can't even sell a grain of grain. What can I do? You tell your cousin that I am not the head of the country, so he should not think that I am such a great backer!"

"If it doesn't work, you can give him some money from home first, and ask him to take his cousin and aunt to see a doctor first!"

"Trash? I'm a trash, I shouldn't fucking marry you in!"

"Divorce!? Leave as soon as you leave, whoever does not leave is raised by the stepmother!" After shouting the last sentence, the traffic policeman threw the phone aside.

Looking at the traffic policeman whose face was flushed with anger, Li Xiaogang said with a faint smile, "What's wrong? Have you had a conflict with your lover?"

The traffic policeman seemed full of bitterness, so he immediately poured out on Li Xiaogang and said, "Tell me, the grain piled up in the country's grain depots is about to stink, and people don't buy grain anymore. What can I do? The guy in my family thought I was such a great person. The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt in his family couldn’t sell their food, so they all found me. Forget about dying! Going back every day, nothing but quarrels are quarrels, and now I can’t even go to work in peace, I don’t think this day will be able to pass!”

Looking at the bitter traffic policeman, Li Xiaogang smiled slightly and said, "By the way, I have given you a ride for a long time, and I still don't know your name?"

The traffic policeman hurriedly said, "What's your name? Don't laugh at me. My name is Li Dawei, and my friends call me Dawei, which means I can accomplish a lot, hehe..."

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Dawei, we don't know each other anymore. Now that we've made friends like you, we naturally share your worries. In this way, let your lover's Seventh Aunt, Eighth Aunt, etc. All the grain was transported to Linxi Village, where someone bought the grain."

As soon as Li Xiaogang's words came out, the traffic policeman's expression brightened, but he was a little puzzled, and asked nah, "Is there anyone still buying grain now?"

Li Xiaogang said with a chuckle: "Is there any, won't you know when they go?"

"Brother, I am from Linxi Village, don't worry, just let your relatives send the food there!"

Seeing that the traffic police still didn't believe it, the old village head said with a simple smile.

The traffic policeman looked at Li Xiaogang thoughtfully, and saw that he was wearing all famous brands. He could be either rich or expensive, so he immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I will take them there as soon as I go back!"

Along the way, the four talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the destination of the trip.

Li Xiaogang looked up, frowned slightly, and read in a low voice: "S City Grain Bureau?" The old village chief laughed and said, "That's right! There are people who can help us. no problem!"

……

When mentioning Tian Qing, director of the Grain Bureau in City S, everyone in City S would point out their fingers and praise him incessantly.

Five years ago, there was a big food shortage in city S. The situation at that time was extremely tense. The farmers didn't even have rice seeds in their hands, and they were about to lose their harvest the next year.

Tian Qing, who was the deputy director at the time, put forward the plan of opening warehouses to lend grain to farmers in a shocking manner.

As soon as this plan was put forward, it met with fierce opposition from the head of the food bureau at the time.

In the eyes of the head of the Food Bureau, the quality of the farmers has been put into a big question mark. He only thinks that the grain borrowed is like water poured out and can never be recovered.

And there are not a few people who hold this kind of worry in the Food Bureau.

In the end, Tian Qing tried his best to persuade the director to implement the plan, overcoming the difficulties and preventing the food crisis in City S from worsening.

Among them, the people in City S praised Tian Qing's way of persuading the chief.

The director at that time was about 50 years old, and he was an extremely stubborn guy. If he had recognized the truth, even nine bulls would never be able to pull him back.

In order to persuade him, Tian Qing talked all over his mouth, but he was still indifferent.The annoyed Tian Qing went to persuade the director for the last time, but he went there with a kitchen knife.Seeing Tian Qing who was about to go crazy, the director obediently signed the document no matter how stubborn he was.

However, Tian Qing also became the only person in the history of S city who became the head of the Food Bureau without punishment.

Because of this incident, Tian Qing's popularity in City S was even higher than that of the mayor. Later, the farmers used the harvested new grain to repay the grain seeds lent to them by the state. All the food was recovered, and even doubled.

The scene where farmers from all over the city drove tractors full of grain and returned the grain with loud gongs and drums, until now people can't help but feel a little excited when they think of it.

Relying on the good image established in the farmers' minds, Tian Qing has become a big backer in the farmers' hearts. Even the market Cheng Hua is a little jealous of how much he is loved by the people. Chief of Food.

However, Tian Qing's life now is extremely sad, especially when he has to face the faces that are exposed to wind and sun every day, full of vicissitudes and gullies, his heart is even more heavy.

The food received cannot be exchanged for money, which is like marrying a daughter-in-law but not allowing her to go to the kang.

Every day Tian Qing's office welcomes a group of farmers. Whenever they look at him with eager and longing eyes, Tian Qing's heart will be heavy like lead.

Tian Qing has tried his best. He has visited all the major grain-consuming enterprises in the city, but their granary is also full, and there is no place to put it. Could it be possible that they will have their factories stripped down to only store grain? The grain depots at all levels in S City have not finished processing the old grain from three years ago, which is also powerless in the face of the current new grain. Tian Qing suddenly found that all the channels were blocked at once, and they seemed to be A fish trapped in a stinking pond that is about to dry up, just waiting to one day suffocate to death.

The price of food outside is still falling at the same price.

Every time a point falls, the hearts of the farmers feel a little bit more painful.

Many farmers have lost confidence in growing grain, and large tracts of high-quality arable land are being abandoned and turned into wasteland.If this continues, maybe three years later, they will face a new food shortage.Tian Qing didn't even dare to think about what kind of scene it would be at that time.

Tian Qing, who had no other choice, came to Cheng Hua's office again.

Cheng Hua and Tian Qing are about the same age, they are still very young, they can be regarded as young leaders vigorously cultivated by the country, perhaps because of this reason, the two became friends, they have a very good relationship with each other, and they even call each other brothers in private, okay? close.

With this relationship, Tian Qing never needs the secretary to inform Cheng Hua's office when he comes to Cheng Hua's office, let alone knock on the door.

He was pushed away when there was no knock on the door, and Cheng Hua said without raising his head: "I think you'd better go back and move your bedroll over to live with me! You say you, you go to the house four or five times a day. If I run here, people who don’t know will think that the two of us are plotting a riot!”

Tian Qing lay down on the sofa and said, "Riot? According to the current situation, the Everbright peasants will riot sooner or later! At that time, you and I will be the first to be guillotined!"

Cheng Hua frowned, and said, "Bullshit! I'm very busy with my time, so I don't have time to listen to your rants!"

"Pout words? Do you really think I'm talking nonsense?" Tian Qing looked at Cheng Hua quietly, and asked back.

Cheng Hua's frown became tighter, and he murmured, "Is it really as serious as you said?"

Tian Qing smiled bitterly and said, "It's ten times more serious than what I said! Now is the day when students start school and return to school. Starting school means paying tuition fees. Our farmers only count on this crop of grain to get some food every year." A little money, usually there is no other income at all, you can’t let them carry the grain to pay the tuition, can you? If the tuition can’t be paid, you can delay it, but some farmers are sick, and they just wait for this year’s grain to be sold for money , so you can go to the doctor! If the tuition fee can be delayed, can the illness also be delayed?"

After a pause, Tian Qing said bitterly: "Cheng Hua, the current problem is really serious. If the government doesn't take strong measures, the situation will probably get out of control!"

Cheng Hua glanced at Tian Qing, and said lightly: "The strong measures you mentioned are nothing more than asking the government to pay for the grain harvested from the farmers, right? But you have to think about it for me sometimes." Let’s not talk about such a huge sum of money, where do I get it, even if I collect all the grain, where should I put it? You are the director of the grain bureau, you should know that all the grain depots are full now , can’t even put down a mouse, how can you put down so much food?”
