Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Of course, I know everyone's difficulties. To put it bluntly, it's still the lack of bonuses. It doesn't matter. For the farmers who are willing but unable, I will have a good talk with the merchants from Kyoto and try to get them to provide seeds and issue purchase contracts. We only need to work hard and we can earn a large commission by the end of the year. Everyone, don't you think your work will be much easier this way?"

After several rounds of applause, Feng Sizhe's last words triggered whispers from everyone present.

Some people pay to buy seeds, and some people pay to purchase the crops. This means that farmers don't have to worry about losing money except for their hard work. This is a great thing.

After everyone discussed it, a brave person couldn't help but ask loudly, "County Magistrate Feng, is what you said true? What if the big merchants from Kyoto run away because of a poor harvest? Will the farmers still be able to eat the peanuts and cotton?"

"Hahaha." After this person spoke, the other town government staff present at the meeting also laughed. Of course, their laughter was just a cover-up. In fact, this was also the question they wanted to ask. If this problem was not solved well, the farmers' work would be difficult.

"Well, this comrade's opinion is very pertinent. I think this is what everyone is worried about. But don't worry, the merchants coming from Kyoto this time are very formal, and they are definitely not people who want to get something for nothing. Let me make a statement here to reassure everyone. If the merchants really run away halfway, or if they do not purchase the cash crops from our farmers at a low price as per the contract, and make our farmers work for a year in vain, then I, Feng Sizhe, will throw away my official hat, resign, and will no longer be the deputy county magistrate or an official, and will leave the official career path forever." Feng Sizhe knew that if this problem was not solved well, everyone's doubts would not be dispelled, and agricultural reform would be difficult. For this reason, in order to really change the current poverty situation in Dahu County, he resolutely decided to mortgage his official hat, and with the indomitable spirit of dying if he did not succeed, he swore to make a career in Dahu.

"Resign!" As soon as these words were spoken, there were gasps from the whole audience. Then, I don't know who was the first to react and applaud, followed by the second, the third, and finally everyone in the audience gave the warmest applause to Feng Sizhe.

Even Wang Guanghe and Wang Benyi who disliked him couldn't help but join the applause. It must be said that Feng Sizhe's spirit of fighting to the death is very contagious, and it makes local forces like Wang Guanghe unable to find any fault with him. For the development of Dahu County, he contacted merchants and sales, and even put on an official hat. What else can they say? Just let him do whatever he wants. As for whether he can make a name for himself, they will have to wait until the crops are ripe to find out.

But in any case, Feng Sizhe's impassioned speech shocked everyone. Many people also saw his unparalleled determination. It seemed that this young and unimaginable County Magistrate Xiao Feng was really a doer, and he really wanted to make a career in Dahu County.

Zhang Youlun and He Wenbao, who were sitting next to Feng Sizhe, were also extremely excited. They did not expect that the leader was so wise. They had thought that when he heard that 20,000 yuan was distributed as a bonus, he would be angry and come to blame. However, the result was quite different. Everyone was very grateful for the 20,000 yuan, and the subsequent inspiring speech increased everyone's interest in agricultural reform several times. They believed that with today's words, the next work would be much easier.

With Wang Guang, Wang Benyi and others bidding farewell, Feng Sizhe left in his car again. Looking at the other people in the car who were still in an excited state, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Dahu County and its own conditions cannot be described as good, but they cannot be described as bad either. As long as you are really determined, you can find a way to get rich from it. However, due to the interference of materialism and local forces in Dahu County, it has become very difficult to make a career. Now that the money squeezed out of the Finance Bureau has been distributed, and he has also made big promises, everything will be left to the people from Pengfei Company. Although he is confident about this, if Duan Yunpeng sends a company manager who does not listen to him, many things in the future will also face a lot of interference. After all, all hopes now come down to the original funds of Pengfei Company.

Seeing Feng Sizhe leaning on the back seat with his eyes closed, no one in the car dared to speak, for fear of disturbing their leader's rest by making any noise.

In fact, Feng Sizhe was indeed very tired and he needed a good rest, so all the pressure was on him. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel tired.

Feng Sizhe's speech in Chengguan Town quickly spread to the county party committee compound. When people heard that he would resign if the agricultural reform failed, some people sighed, some shook their heads helplessly, and some, such as Qi Hengsan, ridiculed him.

Qi Hengsan, as a representative of the local forces, immediately picked up the phone and called Wang Guanghe's office. "Secretary Wang, this is a good opportunity. Since some people have made such a big promise, you have to secretly help me and find a way to prevent the agricultural reform from going on. This will make some people lose face. Even if they don't resign, they will no longer have the right to speak in Dahu. Haha, then you will have done a great job."

How could Wang Guanghe not know what Qi Hengsan meant? However, after fighting with Feng Sizhe twice, especially today's speech, agricultural reform has become closely related to the interests of the town government staff. At this time, even he has a feeling that he cannot control the overall situation. "County Magistrate Qi, you may not know that this County Magistrate Feng is really capable. Now everyone in the town government is holding their breath. After the meeting just ended, many people went to the countryside. This momentum is unstoppable. Even I can't do anything to stop agricultural reform in public. It's difficult for me."

"Hmph? Don't tell me it's difficult. You should also know that it's not difficult for me to help you become the secretary of Chengguan Town. And you still have the opportunity to enter the leadership of the county party committee in the future, so it's not difficult, right? This is an assessment opportunity for you. If you do well, your future will naturally be bright. If you don't do well, hmph, you can do it yourself." Why is Qi Hengsan unwilling to negotiate with his subordinates? If Feng Sizhe hadn't suddenly parachuted into Dahu, he would still be a person who has the final say in the county. Now, it's just a short time, and even Wang Guanghe dares to complain to him. Is he really going to rebel?

Wang Guanghe listened to the beeping sound on the phone and put it down with a bitter face. Thinking that Qi Hengsan was really angry this time, and thinking about his bright future, he finally picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, then said: "Benyi, economic construction must keep up, but spiritual civilization construction cannot lag behind. I think we should gather everyone together this afternoon to hold a self-examination and self-awakening seminar for party members. Self-examination of guilt and self-reflection in a timely manner can prevent more mistakes. Let's set the time for three days first, and decide whether to delay the time depending on the situation."

Feng Sizhe had just returned to the guesthouse after a meal and was about to take a good nap when He Wenbao ran into his room and told him that Chengguan Town was going to hold a self-examination and self-awakening seminar.

The self-examination and self-awakening seminar is a glorious tradition of the Party. Such a meeting is held every once in a while, so that the alarm bells can be rung around everyone at all times. This is a good thing and is beyond reproach. But the strange thing is the time of this meeting. The acceleration of agricultural reform was just announced in the morning, and many people took action after the meeting. But in the afternoon, Chengguan Town was going to hold a meeting and called everyone together. This caused agricultural work to fall into a state of stagnation for a time. The sinister intentions are obvious to everyone.

"Okay, I understand, Wenbao, you go back first." He waved his hand and asked He Wenbao to go back and rest. Then Feng Sizhe leaned on the sofa in the room.

The last time we made an effort to take down Wang Changwu, the director of the Finance Bureau, we did it with the help of Fang Xianzhi. It was also because this director of the Finance Bureau couldn't even command the county magistrate that aroused everyone's resonance, and everyone worked together to take him down, and finally gave the position to Secretary Sun's people, and finally got it done.

It is said that politics is sometimes the art of compromise. Taking down Wang Changwu is beneficial to all parties, but taking down Wang Guanghe is not so easy. At least it is difficult to get the support of Secretary Sun. Moreover, this is the town party secretary who was just appointed not long ago. If he is taken down now, it will have a negative impact on the county leaders. Personnel changes are changing every day, which is not a good thing for stable work. Now it seems that it is not realistic to take down Wang Guanghe politically, so the only way is to find a way from his family.

Thinking of this, Feng Sizhe picked up the phone on the table and called Luo Jinlong's home landline.

Luo Jinlong happened to be taking a lunch break at home, and he immediately perked up when he received Feng Sizhe's call. "County Magistrate Feng, do you have any instructions?"

"Well, have you investigated what I told you this morning about Wang Xiaodong?" Luo Jinlong is considered the most powerful and trusted figure under Feng Sizhe, so there is no need to beat around the bush when talking to him.
