Chapter 17: Hezi Town Major Events ("Green Xiaoshuo Sayings")

Qin Mu walked into the yard with a blue face, regardless of the expressions of the people in the yard, pointed at Zhou Aijun and said, "You, do your own thing well. These things are all from your hands. When you see any one that fails in the future, throw them back and don't say anything!"

Zhou Aijun nodded and went into the room quietly. He is now guilty, so he naturally dare not say too much.

Widow Zhao curled her lips, looking gloating.

Qin Mu ignored her and said to Aunt Qi: "Aunt Qi, starting today, I will give you a task. These tree roots are divided by the head, and each person arranges the corresponding workload. As long as they are beaten back by Ai Jun, they will not be paid."

Eight or nine women in the yard were shocked at the same time and looked at Qin Mu in disbelief.

Qin Mu stared at Aunt Qi with expressionless face and asked, "Aunt Qi, can you take on this job? Do you dare to take on it?"

Aunt Qi was in a dilemma. This job was actually an offensive job. Seeing Qin Mu's face getting darker and darker, her mind was filled with inspiration and suddenly remembered what her man said that night. It turned out that Qin Mu was really planning to promote herself.

When Aunt Qi thought of this, she finally nodded and said, "You can do it well."

Qin Mu then relaxed his face, nodded at Hu Laosi behind him, walked straight into the house, took out a thousand dollars and handed it to Aunt Qi, and said, "I will give you this money. I will remember who will be responsible for the work they do in the future, how much work they have done, and whether they are lazy in their work."

Aunt Qi trembled and took the thousand yuan. Although it was very thin, Aunt Qi seemed to take a big stone as heavy as a big stone. She said carefully: "Miss Chief, I, I am illiterate."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "I know there are not many literate people in our Xishan Village. You just need to write it down with marks you can understand."

At this moment, Widow Zhao refused to support herself and shouted loudly: "Qin Mu, are you trying to show me the face?"

Qin Mu suddenly turned around, stared at Widow Zhao, and said sternly: "Aunt Zhao, don't say that I, Qin Mu, slapped your face. I will put this here today. As long as it is related to the wealth of our Xishan Village, not to mention you, even if the Heavenly King comes, you must follow my rules!"

Qin Mu said these words, but he was not like a cadre, but like a gangster. Widow Zhao was used to being stingy in the village, and not many people were concerned about her because she was a widow. Now, she was clearly doing business when she heard Qin Mu's meaning. She sat on the ground angrily, patted her thighs and cried: "You little furry child, you bullied us orphans and widows as soon as she became the village chief. I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore. Where should I reason about this?"

When she made a tantrum, everyone present was stunned and looked at Qin Mu in unison. Hu Laosi even stared at Qin Mu's actions to see how he would solve this problem.

Qin Mu suddenly felt happy when he saw this situation. He smiled and announced: "It's good to let Aunt Zhao vent her. She has been wronged over the years. Just now, I haven't announced one thing. When these tree roots are sold, everyone in charge of cleaning will receive a reward of 50 to 100 yuan."

50 to 100 yuan? Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. The monthly salary of grassroots personnel is only about three or four hundred yuan. It can be seen that the number Qin Mu promised is definitely a fantasy in the eyes of people in the mountains.

Widow Zhao stopped crying and looked up at Qin Mu stupidly.

"Don't believe it?" Qin Mu said with a smile: "Aunt Qi, you're so careful. As long as you make one from Aijun, you will send the reward in advance. Of course, if you send it in advance, you can only give it 20."

The rural people didn’t know what gourds Qin Mu sold. I heard that as long as Zhou Aijun finished processing one, he would be rewarded with 20 yuan. He immediately became active. One of the women shouted at the house: “Aijun, today I’m steaming buns, go to my place to eat.”

Her voice immediately aroused the thoughts of others. They stood up and invited Zhou Aijun to the house. Even Widow Zhao didn't have the intention to play tricks. She sat on the ground and thought about how to get along with Aunt Qi and Zhou Aijun and take care of her. Zhou Aijun leaned behind the door and felt the corners of her eyes were sour. He understood that Qin Mu was helping him find face.

Aunt Qi took the opportunity to tell Qin Mu about the stone carving masters. When he heard that Qin Mu offered a high price, both of them said that they would come over after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Qin Mu nodded with satisfaction and instructed Aunt Qi to pay attention to the matters that need to be paid attention to when managing the accounting.

Wang Zhi sighed from the side: "Looking at Village Chief Qin's appearance, I really plan to do something big."

Zhang Cui smiled and said, "Look at Xiao Qin's demeanor, I see, it's not a big deal if I come to Xishan Village again in less than two years - I can't compare to others."

Everyone laughed, Qin Mu hurriedly called everyone into the house, and the group walked in happily. Qin Mu began to explain to everyone the huge size of root carving in foreign markets.

...

On the 14th day of the first lunar month in 1990, something major happened in Xiping County.

All police officers from Hezi Town Police Station, led by Director Liu Dayou and Deputy Director Wang Zhi, stayed asleep for more than a month, and even fought in the police station during the Chinese New Year. They finally cracked a major cultural relics theft and sale incident, arrested nine suspects, and intercepted more than 20 cultural relics. The value of the cultural relics is inestimable. This is the largest cultural relics trafficking case in Xiping County's history since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In order to reward the leaders of Hezi Town and comrades from the police station for their hard work, the provincial party committee sent a congratulatory message and transferred the director Liu Dayou as deputy director of Xiping County Public Security Bureau, in charge of criminal investigation. Wang Zhi, deputy director of Hezi Town Police Station, was appointed as the director, and the deputy director was appointed by the old police officer Zhou Tong. All suspects were escorted to the provincial capital by the county armed forces department for interrogation.

Because of this, at the meeting of all town and village cadres under the presidency of the town party committee, Li Zhaoxiong, secretary of the town party committee, made an important speech on cultural relics issues in accordance with the instructions of the county party committee, and asked all village committees to vigorously prevent the actions of cultural relics dealers and protect the precious cultural relics circulated among the people for the country.

At the same time, Party Secretary Li Zhaoxiong and Town Mayor and Deputy Secretary Luo Wanyou affirmed Xishan Village's practice of daring to do a big deal and changing its thinking on getting rich, praising Xishan Village for exploring the new road to getting rich in Hezi Town, and gave a high evaluation of the root carving processing company that is about to be launched in Xishan Village. This project in Xishan Village is listed as a pilot project in Hezi Town. The town finance will provide certain financial support.

At the meeting, Secretary Li Zhaoxiong faced the grassroots cadres of the 27 natural villages in the township and issued the slogan "Within three years, let Hezi Town abandon the title of poverty first, dare to reform and innovate", and Hezi Town was full of vitality for a while.

Qin Mu looked at all this lightly. It was not enough to have enthusiasm alone, but also needed experience. These were all required by leading cadres to cross the river by feeling the stones and explore slowly.

Li Datong was huddled in a chair like a quail without a tail on the rostrum, listless. After interrogation, Li Jinbiao's problem was still very serious. It was the gang's contact person for the cultural relics takeout, and the crime was too serious. For this reason, the staff of the county discipline inspection commission also talked to Li Datong several times. The meaning inside and outside was that Li Datong's political life had reached an end. After the election, he probably would have come down from this position.

As a young village chief who dares to innovate, Qin Mu was notified to speak on the stage. He was not prepared. He threw his cheeks away and said, "We are all afraid of being poor! Now we make 20 cents a day. If we can make 50 cents a day, it means we will make money and make money. Whether it is selling stones or tree roots, whether it is black cats or white cats, it is a good cat to catch mice!" After saying this, Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, as if the leader's "Black Cat Theory" has not yet been released.

After hearing this, Li Zhaoxiong nodded to the clerk beside him and said, "Can this young man say this? No matter how black and white cats, it is a good cat to catch mice. This sentence is very good. Write it down and send it to the county."

In fact, no one knows the final result of Qin Mu's so-called root carving company. Now Hezi Town is just an attitude. If you only hear thunder and never see raindrops in the end, Qin Mu will become a negative example.

After the meeting, Party Secretary Li Zhaoxiong and Town Mayor Luo Wanyou had an in-depth conversation with Qin Mu, and Qin Mu gave a more detailed report on the Root Carving Company. Both the leaders of the town team were optimistic about this project and promised that if Qin Mu had any questions, he could just contact them.

After leaving the town government compound, Qin Mu took a deep breath. Zhou Aijun's first root carving was released. It was a beautiful birthday star. The roots of the tree roots were cleverly made into beards by Zhou Aijun, and the expression on the birthday star's face was even more vivid. Qin Mu saw it at that time and took out 300 yuan to reward Zhou Aijun on the spot. Zhou Aijun took it with him in fear and fear.

"Xiao Qin!" Liu Dayou ran over from the opposite side of the road, patted Qin Mu on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Let's go and go with me to my house. If you don't drink or fall down today, I'm sorry for you." There were two people following him, Wang Zhi and Zhou Tong.

Seeing that the three of them were all blushed, Qin Mu smiled and said, "It's true, but that's right, you can't be happy with the promotion and will all use me to attack you."

Liu Dayou smiled and said, "You kid, you have arranged your way out before you even started. Don't say anything today, four people, at least six bottles." As he said that, he pushed Qin Mu and walked home.

"Qin Mu!" At this moment, a sweet shout came over. When several people saw that Bai Ruohan was wearing a big red tweed suit, he was standing on the side of the road to greet Qin Mu.

Bai Ruohan had already returned to the county town a few days ago and stayed in Xishan Village for two days. After checking that Qin Mu's condition had improved, he returned to the hospital to report.

"Doctor Bai, why are you here?" Qin Mu walked over and asked with a smile.

"Why, isn't you welcome?" Bai Ruohan said with a smile: "Where I, I'm afraid I'll stay in Hezi Town often in the future. There are not enough doctors in the health center under the hospital, so I applied to be transferred here." After that, he actually smiled naughtyly at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu suddenly realized that it seemed that Bai Ruohan and Ji Zhigang had reached the showdown, and the storm in the county was already covered with dark clouds. He had no intention of caring about these things, and said to Bai Ruohan with a smile: "Doctor Bai can come to our poor town to take charge, which is a blessing for the people of Hezi Town. I hope Doctor Bai will provide more guidance and care more in the future."

"Slip!" Bai Ruohan was in a good mood today, looked at Liu Dayou and others and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Mu spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Brother Liu, Brother Wang and others are promoted, and they are taking me to Brother Liu's house to accompany me."
