Chapter 20 Helpless

Mayor Jiang stared at Gao Fei for a long time and said nothing.

What happened to Gao Fei? He passed Secretary Wan early in the morning and said that there was an urgent matter to report to himself. At that time, he thought that something big happened, but he didn't expect that the report was that the bamboo forest in the western mountainous areas had bloomed in full bloom! What's the big deal about the blooming of bamboo? Isn't it just a few rats? Just put rat killer at that time. Is it necessary to use a posture of facing a great enemy? Also, you, a police chief, are you always staring at the bamboo forest in the mountainous areas too wide? He even used the entire police system

The power of the forest went to the mountainous area to investigate the blooming of bamboo - did the police station not catch criminals and instead caught mice? Absurd! Well, could it be that Chen Mingguang of the Forestry Bureau had a grudge with Gao Fei? Gao Fei repeatedly challenged Chen Mingguang. However, the Forestry Bureau and the Police Station could not fight each other, and Chen Mingguang was a well-known good man. No matter how you look at it, it was hard to imagine that he would be a life-and-death enemy with the shrewd and capable Gao Fei. Mayor Jiang thought about it all but couldn't figure it out, so he had to follow his own ideas first.

"Director Gao, I hope you should first understand your identity. You are the police chief, not the forestry director, or the environmental protection director! Your primary responsibility is to maintain social stability, bring criminals to justice, not to go to the mountainous areas to catch mice!" Mayor Jiang picked up the teacup and slapped his tone more and more: "Of course, I'm not saying that you can't report the abnormal situation in the mountainous areas to the superiors, but - can't you report it through relevant functional departments? Must report to me directly? If every department does like you, the government will not be messed up! Xiao Gao, you do this too recklessly! It is extremely unfavorable to your work and your personal development! Only this time, I will not be an example. I hope you will not talk about things that have nothing to do with your responsibilities when you report to me next time."

Even though Gao Fei was determined and determined, he was scolded by Mayor Jiang and felt hot and sweaty.

"Okay, since you found me today and talked about this matter, if I don't give you a reply, wouldn't it seem like I, the mayor, be too domineering?" Mayor Jiang looked at him and beat Gao Fei almost, and then slowed down his tone: "The two suggestions from Professor Lin you mentioned - Yes, last year I made a statement that I should organize civil servants in the mountains to collect bamboo seeds, purchase bamboo seeds in the name of the government, and even put rat killing agents into the mountains. I originally planned to adopt these measures, but now it is difficult." Mayor Jiang sighed and picked up a document and handed it to Gao Fei:

"Look at it carefully, this document will be issued to the municipal bureaus directly under the city. Well, it is also related to the work of your police station."

Gao Fei took the document and looked up. This was a document sent directly to Zhongjiang City by the Yizhou Provincial Government:

“…Notice on organizing forces to fight floods and safes immediately:

Zhongjiang Municipal Government received a notice from the State Council that the peak of the 5th Huangjiang River in the upper reaches of Qinghai-Tibet Province has exceeded the historical highest water level and is expected to arrive in our province by mid-June, and will pass through Zhongjiang City first. The peak of this flood is fierce, and Qinghai-Tibet Province has experienced many dangers of dam collapse. I hope your city will organize all manpower, material resources and financial resources to ensure that the dam along the Zhongjiang River will not be lost..."

"I understand. Now all the manpower, material resources and financial resources in our city are used in flood control and rescue. The rest of the matter is only allowed to be released first." Mayor Jiang thought for a while and added: "After you go back, you will organize an internal meeting of the police station and study how to organize forces to cooperate with this flood control and rescue work."

When Gao Fei walked out of the city government, he felt that his steps were particularly heavy.

Sunshine Times Teahouse.

Gao Fei held the teacup and slowly sipped the bitter tea. Song Qinghe and Liu Xiao were smoking cigarettes one by one.

"Is there really no other way?" Song Qinghe asked.

Gao Fei sighed long and said, "This afternoon, I found a friend who was engaged in foreign trade and told him about bamboo seeds. He was very interested. Green agricultural food is now popular abroad. Bamboo seeds have high nutritional value and are rare, so he is likely to purchase bamboo seeds from the mountainous areas."

"How many will it be acquired?" Song Qinghe's voice was very dull.

"The first batch will have about 20 tons. If the sales prospects are good, it may purchase 30 tons." Gao Fei said helplessly: "I can only do this."

"50 tons, 100,000 jin - that is, the output of 3,000 acres of bamboo forest." Song Qinghe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a drop in the bucket."

"Director Gao," Liu Xiao stared at Gao Fei with a bright look: "Can you find a way to get some loan for our factory? Although Sister Xia has brought us 1 million, it is probably not enough."

Gao Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I am familiar with President Zhang of the Municipal Agricultural Bank of China. I can find some time to make an appointment with him."

"It would be great if we had strong financial resources," Liu smiled and looked intoxicated: "Then what I have to do now is to start acquiring chemical companies that produce rat killers. Well, then monopolize the main raw materials for producing rat killers. In a few months, I will become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty..."

"Look at your face," Song Qinghe scolded: "Don't you know that wealth from the national crisis is piled up on countless white bones? Even if you are the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, I don't believe you can sleep at night!"

"So what?" Liu Xiao argued with his neck: "I made money from the national crisis because of the government's inaction! I still feel that I am doing charity, why can't I sleep? Moreover, I am just making myself happy now. It's better than you who have a bitter face to do nothing here."

"Do nothing?" Song Qinghe snorted and said, "There are so many things to do - by the way, do you have relatives living in Wuling Mountains?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Before October, it is best to move out of the mountainous areas to take refuge." Song Qinghe said in a muffled voice.

"Ah? No, it's really that serious?" Liu Xiao stared at Song Qinghe with suspicion.

"This is what Teacher Lin said. You can consider how to do it yourself." Song Qinghe didn't explain.

"How to take refuge? Half of the people in that village are related to relatives!" Liu Xiao cried out in pain: "Why should I let my family abandon their homes and run away from home? Even if they are willing to listen to me, hundreds of people will eat, drink and live in the mountains? Do you really think I am the richest man in the Tang Dynasty."

Song Qinghe was so blocked that he couldn't speak. He lit a cigarette in depressed manner and took a sip. The rich smoke choked him and coughed.

"Qinghe," Gao Fei asked with concern: "I always wanted to ask you, do you think it is really necessary for Professor Lin to suggest that people from the mountainous areas come out to take refuge? According to your prediction of the situation, the rats in the mountainous areas will first rob the villages, and then attack the city - with plans, steps, consistent actions, and unified goals. It is like an army commanded by someone! But is the rats such intelligent creature? When you encountered a rats in the mountainous area, if the rats had a little wisdom and gnawed the tree directly, you would probably be done, but the mice did not do this, which means that they were just a group of lowest-level creatures after all."

Song Qinghe nodded: "Gao Qu, you are right. Individual mice are not intelligent creatures. When dissecting mice, you can clearly find that mice have no brains, only pituitary gland, which means they do not have the ability to think. However, any organism will have a basic survival instinct, and mice are no exception. Rats are animals born for eating and eating for life. Their sensitivity to food is their survival instinct. Therefore, when they eat all the bamboo seeds in the mountains, they will instinctively go to the village with the most food - because the village is the only place that can provide them with enough food at that time; when the village is looted, the plain cities will naturally become their next target. They do not need command, but only look for food based on their instincts. In order to survive, whether it is crops, livestock, or even humans will become their targets for food..."

Gao Fei's heart sank. It seems that his estimate of rat damage is too low. In the past, he thought that rats in the mountainous areas would be mainly dangerous to pedestrians and tourists, but he did not expect that they would take the initiative to attack villages and cities with crowded crowds! Thinking of Mayor Jiang's understatement of the attitude of rat damage, Gao Fei felt nervous: something will happen in the future! Something big will happen!

Song Qinghe picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and sighed: "As a scholar who studies animals, Teacher Lin and I can predict the future development of the rat group from a biological perspective. Unfortunately, they are not recognized by the government. They can only watch the future disaster come. When they think about it, they are really depressed."

Gao Fei smiled bitterly. Liu Xiao murmured: "It seems that I have to find a way to mobilize relatives in the mountains to come out, otherwise I will be eaten by mice. Wouldn't I beg you to save me if I die?"

"Your relatives have you notified you to take refuge, what about the others? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the mountain villages!" Song Qinghe snorted coldly and said gritting his teeth: "If many people die after the disaster comes, the government must be held responsible for inaction! This is dereliction of duty! It is a waste of human life!"

Gao Fei stared at Song Qinghe with a flushed face, speechless for a moment...
