Chapter 166 The last winter in Ba County

Xia Xiang felt a little regretful when he didn't meet Xiao Jia when he returned to Yan City. After he returned to Ba County, he kept calling Xiao Jia. He also learned from Xiao Jia that her business had entered a formal business and became bigger and bigger. Not only did he completely open up the market in Yan City, but he also had preliminary contact with vegetable wholesalers in Beijing.

Xia Xiang was also sincerely happy for Xiao Jia. He said that he was ashamed. He helped Gao Hai to give advice, offered advice for Li Dingshan, and even helped Chu Zigao to give directions, but he didn't do anything for Xiao Jia. It was entirely because Xiao Jia worked hard alone, and it was also because he really knew too little about vegetable wholesale. At the same time, there was also the reason why Xiao Jia was not only smart, but also very independent.

When Xiao Jia did things, she always told Xia Xiang after she did it. She reported good news but not bad news. She only told him what kind of success she had achieved. As for the grievances and twists and turns she suffered before her success, she never said it, as if her success was easy. She didn't say it, Xia Xiang also understood that it was impossible for a woman as beautiful as Xiao Jia to go out alone without encountering right and wrong and difficulties! Although he believed in her wit and ability, she was always worried for her. Every time she asked her if she was tired and what she needed to do, Xiao Jia always told him in an understatement that she could handle everything and didn't need him to worry about her.

In addition to having more lustful thoughts, Xia Xiang missed Xiao Jia, in addition to having more thoughts on her, there was also a strange feeling. Because every time Xiao Jia called, she would report to him how much money she made, and how much of it was, she would keep it for him and make money well. Every time Xiao Jia would exclaim like a little girl who got candy, which made Xia Xiang smile quietly on the phone. With her screams and sighing, he had become a millionaire without realizing it!

Xiao Jia used the 1.6 million yuan earned from editing books as the starting capital, and successfully made 500,000 yuan in just half a year. That is to say, she now has more than 2 million yuan in hand. If she is half of each person, Xia Xiang can also get more than 1 million!

This is just the beginning!

According to Xiao Jia's vision, she will vigorously develop the market next year. It is already amazing that Yan City alone can occupy one-fifth of the wholesale market. Because Yan City is close to Beijing, she also wants to open the market in Beijing. Xiao Jia is not only full of confidence, but also let Xia Xiang talk about his opinion: "You said you wanted me to open the Beijing market, and you said you wanted to give me a huge surprise. Why is there no news yet? Tell me about your thoughts!"

In fact, what Xiao Jia needs is Xia Xiang’s encouragement and support.

Since the development of Sanshan Resort has been clarified, and according to reliable information, the mountain road has started construction, Xia Xiang will no longer conceal his plan: "Ba County has good geology and can grow advantageous vegetables. However, in winter, it is too cold, even if it is planted in greenhouses, it will freeze to death. However, from autumn to winter, you can recharge the advantages of plastic greenhouses, take advantage of the long sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night, and grow cabbage and other winter vegetables, and you can also make a lot of money..."

Xiao Jia was skeptical: "Is it feasible?" She did not understand the climate characteristics of Ba County and had no experience in growing vegetables, so she naturally did not understand the problems in planting.

"I can guarantee that the quality of vegetables produced in Ba County is first-class. As long as there is sales, the supply of goods is guaranteed!" Xia Xiang was confident that he would create the brand of Ba County vegetables. He had an advantage that others could not match. He knew that in later generations, several counties in the north of the capital had successively built vegetable bases and became vegetable gardens in the capital. He did not remember whether there was a Ba County, but since he came to Ba County, it was not difficult to seize the opportunity to build Ba County into a vegetable base.

It is precisely because he and Xiao Jia are all about business and money that they always feel that his relationship with Xiao Jia seems to be a kind of intimate cooperation and infinite possibilities. They are hard to explain, but they feel that there is no obstacle between the two, but they seem to be unable to get too close.

Compared with Xiao Jia, the conversation between him and Cao Shuyan was much easier and casual. The little girl pestered him and told him about her interesting things in school. Who wanted to pursue her again, but she refused but didn't give up and played the old trick of sending a hundred flowers. Her mother also talked about Xia Xiang, worried that he would be frozen in Ba County, after all, it was more than ten degrees lower than Yan City. Cao Shujun went to the Ordnance Academy and heard that pursuing a girl was rejected and was sad... Wait, endless topics and endless chats always made him feel comfortable and at ease.

Feng Xuguang mentioned Xiao Jia, which made Xia Xiang leave and suddenly remembered many things. He came back to his senses and smiled at Feng Xuguang: "I won't mention Xiao Jia anymore, let's talk about your branch, by the way, there is Gao Jianyuan..."

Jiajia Supermarket has become regular and has had a significant impact in Yan City. However, Feng Xuguang's first branch has not yet been revealed because the land has not been implemented. Last time, Xia Xiang proposed that he offered 5% of his shares, and Feng Xuguang gave 5% of his shares, giving 10% of his shares to Gao Jianyuan in exchange for a piece of land located in the downtown city. However, since Gao Jianyuan showed up, he has never appeared again, and Feng Xuguang could not contact him, so the land matter was temporarily put on hold.

"Maybe there was something wrong with the ground, and the land was not moving for the time being. Wait a little longer, I took a fancy to that piece of land and didn't want to open a first branch in another place. It just so happens that the funds are not enough, so it's better to slow it down." Feng Xuguang and Xia Xiang were talking in the office of the food factory. He didn't expect that Ba County was so cold, wearing less clothes, and shaking a little cold.

Xia Xiang laughed at him: "Okay, I won't keep you anymore. Anyway, everything goes well in the food factory. Just go back to Yanshi first. Before the winter begins, how many mushrooms and bracken can be grabbed, which is equivalent to free picking. By the way, the villagers' enthusiasm for work is OK, right?"

"No, good, very satisfied." Feng Xuguang was very satisfied with the labor resources of Ba County. The food factory hired Huang Hai as the squad leader for 100 yuan a month. Huang Hai was as happy as picking up gold ingots, full of energy.

"How is that poor child Liu He now?" Feng Xuguang suddenly thought of Liu He and asked in a tone of crying rats.

"Liu He, he was sentenced to ten years and went to the neighboring county to serve his sentence. I heard that he was bullied in prison..." Xia Xiang replied in a light tone. Compared to Liu Shixuan and Liu He, Liu Shixuan was sentenced to 20 years. Shen Fuming was also cruel enough. He probably wanted to let Liu Shixuan die in prison.

Feng Xuguang didn't stay for a long time and drove back to Yan City that day.

In early November, Zhang Jian officially took office as deputy secretary of the county party committee. At the suggestion of the Ba County Party Committee, the Municipal Party Committee of the Charter agreed that the Ba County Standing Committee would add two more members, Deputy Secretary Zhang Jian and Jiazhai Township Party Committee Secretary Jiang Yang, thus increasing the number of members of the Ba County Standing Committee from 11 to 13. Because Zhao Jiansu took over Liu Shixuan's position as executive deputy county magistrate, but he himself was also a member of the Standing Committee, he also promoted one member of the deputy county magistrate, increasing the number of members of the government team.

Jiang Yang is a staunch supporter of Li Dingshan, while Zhang Jian is low-key and docile and never raises objections. Basically, Li Dingshan's authority was not affected at all.

Soon, Li Dingshan proposed that in order to better carry out his work, he decided to nominate Xia Xiang as the deputy township head of Jiazhai Township. Jiang Yang not only agreed immediately, but also said that Jiazhai Township still lacked a deputy secretary, so it would be better for Xia Xiang to be the deputy secretary and deputy township head. As expected, Jiang Yang's proposal was unanimously approved. A few days later, Xia Xiang officially took office and began to implement his and Li Dingshan's next plan as the deputy secretary and deputy township head.

I don’t know who revealed the news. The township party secretary Jiang Yang and the township chief Wang Yongyi both knew that Xia would be transferred back to Yan City in half a year. Now, he and they almost completely delegated their power to Xia Xiang. As long as it was Xia Xiang’s proposal, they would nod and support them strongly without hesitation. Xia Xiang knew that the two were selling him a good deal and doing it for Li Dingshan to show him, so he would not politely promote his plan. Anyway, he knew in his heart that after he left, his political achievements would be all from Jiang Yang and Wang Yongyi. He needed to use the past six months to lay a solid foundation and do some practical things for the people. At the same time, he also needed this period of experience.

Li Dingshan's authority in Ba County is now unshakable, but his intelligence lies in that he has interfered in the government affairs many times and let Shi Fort do it. Shi Fortress is very grateful to Li Dingshan in his heart, not only because Li Dingshan got rid of his rival Liu Shixuan for many years, but also gave him power. What he admires most is that Li Dingshan is not like other secretary who has risen from the grassroots level, he is both greedy for money and loving power. Secretary Li is flexible and open-minded, has a high vision, is not greedy for money, and is willing to do practical things for the people sincerely. Such a secretary is not only the blessing of his county magistrate, but also the blessing of all the people of Ba County.

Shi Fortress is full of energy and lacks the desire to fight for power. He also feels that he is old and has been an official for a lifetime. He will not be promoted in the future. However, during his tenure as the county magistrate of Ba County, he can really do some good factual things for the people, which is worthy of being able to walk in the officialdom for so many years!

When people live, they must have a spirit. Just think about the stone fortress. It is worth it to make the people think of you.

Because of the exact news that the construction of Sanshan Resort started, Li Dingshan threw out a bombshell at the Standing Committee - to develop tourism resources in Ba County, attract investment from abroad, develop grassland tourism resorts, and first recommended Huahaiyuan in Jiazhai Township!

Wu Yingjie has become much more honest recently. He no longer sways left and right, but instead works hard. Instead, he gradually gained the trust of Li Dingshan. After listening to Li Dingshan's grand plan, he asked suspiciously: "Secretary Li, we have two major problems: one is that the road is blocked, and the other is that we lack money. It's okay to have a loan or attract investment, but there is no road, so the plan is not feasible."

Li Dingshan nodded in praise: "Director Wu's analysis was very good. Ba County was restricted for many years because there was no road. There was a great opportunity in front of us - a company in Jingcheng developed Sanshan Resort with huge funds, which was only more than 20 kilometers away from Ba County. If we open up these 20 kilometers of mountain roads, we can use the east wind of Sanshan Resort development to pass through the mountain road that stretches between the mountains and ridges, leading to Beijing, and the whole journey is no more than 150 kilometers!"

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!

After seeing the information distributed by Li Dingshan, the Standing Committee members were immediately excited. Ba County was trapped for many years, poor and had no temper, and had no way to do it. It was because there was no road, and if you still wanted to make money, it was naturally not easy. Now that there was a road, it was like seeing the sun clearing the clouds. All plans that you didn’t dare to think about before could be put on the agenda again. How could it not make people excited?

The discussion was enthusiastic at the Standing Committee. The meeting was originally scheduled for one hour, but the meeting was not discontinued for three hours. Finally, an agreement was reached unanimously, with funds from the county party committee and government, and Jiazhai Township operated in detail. It used the slack farming time to organize villagers to open mountains and build roads.

Finally, after research and decision by the Jiazhai Township Party Committee, Xia Xiang was fully responsible for the specific matters of road construction.

Because of his relationship with Huanghai, Xia Xiang was also very familiar with Lao Yutou, the old farmer of Huoya. After serving as deputy secretary and deputy township chief, he became a group of villagers in Jiazhai Township. Because the villagers all knew that the Xuguang Food Factory, which had made them hugely affordable, was also an investment brought by Secretary Xiaoxia. Therefore, they treated Xia Xiang as friendly as their own children, and trusted him very much. Xia Xiang didn't even have to climb a high place, but only said that it needed to build roads. In half a day, almost all the strong laborers in Jiazhai Township were dispatched. Under Huanghai's leadership, the simple villagers all carried forward their noble character, regardless of the amount of wages, whether they were good or bad food, they all devoted themselves to the construction of building mountains and roads.

At the same time, Li Dingshan also invited experts organized by Yan Provincial Evening News to visit Ba County on-site, and also sent invitations to the media friends in Beijing through their relationship. A strong wind of grassland tourism was set off on the media in Beijing and Yan Province...

Since Liu Shixuan was arrested, Lian Ruohan has no longer appeared frequently. Once she disappeared for more than a month, she sometimes suddenly appeared, meeting Xia Xiang, having a meal, talking about her travels and adventures, and then disappearing. Xia Xiang was so busy that she didn't care about asking her more, so she treated her as a friend who was not far away or close.

The winter in Ba County is even colder than summer imagined, and it is often low temperatures of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the mountain is often burned with explosives, and there is no permafrost, which does not affect construction. Looking at the busy scene, Xia Xiang calculates that in spring tomorrow, the road surface can be leveled and connected to the mountain roads of Sanshan Resort.

Since the last time Yang Bei met, Xia Xiang has never seen her again. Later, she met Zhang Xinying by chance. She heard that Yang Bei left Ba County and seemed to have gone to the south. Even Niu Hongmei didn't know where it was. Xia Xiang secretly sighed that Yang Bei thought that if she could completely stay away from Ba County, she would always forget everything that happened? I hope she could go all the way.

Zhang Xinying has experienced this incident and is much more steady and mature than before. She has a bad habit. She likes to blink curious eyes and stare at Xia Xiang, which makes Xia Xiang feel uncomfortable all over. She hurriedly said a few words and then slipped away with excuses.

Although there is a constant wave of promoting tourism resources in Ba County and there are many calls to come to invest in tourist resorts, there are still not many people who actually come to inspect. After all, Ba County has been closed for too long, and for most people, they don’t know that Ba County exists. Suddenly, it appears and makes people fully accept it. It takes a process.

After a heavy snowfall, the road construction was suspended, and the entire Ba County seemed to have entered hibernation. Not only were there few pedestrians on the streets, but even the people in the county party committee compound were drowsy and could not be energetic. The mountains were blocked with heavy snow, and the weather was cold and no one was willing to go out. The economy in the cold zone was underdeveloped, and the weather also accounted for a large factor. When the weather was cold, people would not like to move. When people were lazy, there would be fewer people, and business would naturally not be popular.

Xia Xiang was writing a letter at his desk in the office of the Party Committee of Jiazhai Township, writing a proposal "Feasibility Report on the Promotion of Vegetable Greenhouses in Ba County". He was planning to sort it out early so that it could be submitted as soon as possible before the spring of the next year. He was worried that he would be transferred back to Yan City in March and May next year, fearing that it would not be too late to write it.

The office windows are double-layer glass, with two layers of glass being 30 cm apart, and the walls are half a meter thick thick. A stove is also in the house. Even so, the temperature in the room is probably less than 10 degrees, and it is impossible to get cold. Xia Xiang was wearing a thick cotton coat and covered it like a big bear. Although he was so cold that his hands were trembling, he still gritted his teeth and insisted, because he knew that he had not had too much time. He originally wanted to stay in Ba County for two years before leaving, and could see with his own eyes that Ba County went from being poor to solving food and clothing. Now it seems that he could only leave his ideas and let Secretary Li realize it in detail.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong... Someone knocked on the door, but Xia Xiang didn't raise his head: "Come in, the door is not locked."

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind brought in, and many snowflakes floated in. Xia Xiang shook a chill, and his hand, which was about to be frozen, became even colder, so he hurriedly said, "Close the door quickly, close the door quickly, it's too cold."

"It's amazing to be so cold and hardworking." Lian Ruohan's voice suddenly sounded - she was wearing a white down jacket, tight jeans, and a pair of pony boots under her feet. Although it was a very cold winter, because the down jacket had a waistline, the waist was tightened just right, of course, because her figure was good enough and did not look bloated at all. Instead, it set off her waist and thin legs, and a delicate flower face was cold white and red, which was unique and graceful at the moment, refreshing.

Xia Xiang rubbed his eyes: "Are you okay? It's snowy and ice, what are you doing?"

Xia Xiang's words were filled with a hint of concern, and Lian Ruohan smiled happily: "It's okay to be idle, I'll turn around, and I'll unknowingly move to Ba County."

"If you are really idle, stay in the capital honestly and don't always appear in front of me." Xia Xiang waved the pen in her hand impatiently, "I didn't see that I'm busy, it's all the trouble."

Even Ruohan was not annoyed, as if she knew Xia Xiang was fake angry. She pulled a chair and sat down: "It seems that I haven't seen you for almost two months. Besides, every time I appear in front of you, it seems that I have never caused trouble for you. Instead, I have helped you a lot in secret! You patted your conscience and said, wasn't it too much for the words just now?"
