Seeing He Wenbao's embarrassed expression, Feng Sizhe smiled bitterly in his heart. In 1991, the national agriculture was like this. The farmers had to pay various agricultural taxes and depended on the weather for their livelihood. If God was happy and the weather was good, the farmers would have to settle accounts at the end of the year. If there were disasters, it would be really hard for the farmers. Not only would they not be able to get the money for seeds back, but they would also not know where to get the money to pay the agricultural taxes next year.

Speaking of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, the most miserable people at present are farmers and workers.

Farmers are facing natural disasters and the country's policies are not favorable, so they are naturally struggling. The same goes for factories. Now there are already many factories and enterprises that cannot pay wages. In a few years, there will be a wave of layoffs that will shock the whole country. Those will be the most difficult years for workers.

Feng Sizhe, who has a full understanding of the future, knows the development trajectory of history, but in fact he cannot change many things with his power. After all, the general trend of the country is like this, and he is just a deputy county magistrate. What can he do? Of course, he cannot change the major events of the country, but he is still very confident about Dahu County. As the saying goes, when you are an official, you must make a difference. Since he came to Dahu County as the deputy county magistrate, he must use his power to change this place.

"Well, the problem shouldn't be that big. I think the electricity cost of the water pump won't be too much. It will come out with a little squeeze. I think the township government doesn't need to pay anything. We can just divert part of it from the county treasury. When the agricultural tax revenue comes in at the end of this year, we can return it to the Finance Bureau. So, Wen Bao, you call the director of the Finance Bureau, Xu Feng, and ask him to prepare the money. I'll ask him to come to me to sign when I go to the county."

Feng Sizhe waved his hand to determine the nature of the matter. He Wenbao didn't dare to say anything, took the big one belonging to Feng Sizhe from Zhou Xingxing and began to contact the county finance bureau.

Ever since the previous director Wang Changwu was taken down by Feng Sizhe, the current director Xu Feng, although a man of Secretary Sun Shicun, did not dare to think of offending County Magistrate Feng. When he heard that County Magistrate Feng would come to sign, he nodded in agreement without saying a word.

After resolving this matter, Feng Sizhe became more confident about the flood control in Huodian Township. He believed that as long as proper prevention and sufficient preparation were taken, the losses could be minimized.

The car, driven by Li Shuang, arrived at the Huodian Township Government compound at noon. At this time, all the government staff had gone off work, and because Feng Sizhe deliberately did not notify the Huodian Township Government, when they arrived, there was no one in the entire government compound except for an old man who was sleeping in the duty room.

Feng Sizhe rejected He Wenbao's move to wake up the old gatekeeper. It was time to get off work, so he should not disturb others' rest. It was noon and time to eat, so he might as well fill his stomach first.

"Let's go, we don't have to drive, let's just find a restaurant to eat something." Feng Sizhe asked Li Shuang to park the car, then took He Wenbao, Zhou Xingxing, and Li Shuang out of the county government compound and walked towards a restaurant not far away.

Due to poverty, Huodian Township is not very big, and you can almost see from east to west at a glance. Looking at this street, there is only one restaurant that looks decent, and the rest are snack bars. Feng Sizhe is the deputy county magistrate after all, how can he be in a snack bar? For this reason, led by He Wenbao and Zhou Xingxing, several people walked into the only decent restaurant in Huodian Township.

This might also be the dining place where the village usually entertains superiors. The decoration inside the restaurant is quite good and looks relatively hygienic. There are even a few single rooms. He Wenbao pointed to a single room and led Feng Sizhe and others to it.

The group sat down in the order of Feng Sizhe at the first seat, He Wenbao, Zhou Xingxing, and Li Shuang. After Deputy Director He and Secretary Zhou casually ordered a few side dishes, the hotel staff came down with the menu.

Originally, a few people were thinking about discussing what to achieve next on this trip to Huodian Township and what to do step by step, when the voice from next door suddenly caught their attention.

Although the decoration of the hotel looks okay, the materials used are not very good, so the voices in the private rooms can be heard, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear what the other party is talking about.

Now, because the sound from the private room next door came over and was heard by Feng Sizhe and others, it attracted their attention.

A young voice was the first to speak. "Come here, Director Song, I'm toasting you."

"I dare not, I dare not. How can I dare to ask Mayor Qi to toast me? Come, let me toast you." The voice of another middle-aged man in his forties rang out.

When he heard that one was the director and the other was the township head, Feng Sizhe quickly waved his hand to stop He Wenbao and the others from making any noise. Then he listened attentively.

"Haha, what kind of township head am I? I am just a deputy township head who was dumped and exiled by the leader and has no real power." A young voice sounded again. When the voice was raised again, except for Li Shuang, the other three people in the room exchanged glances with each other. Because this voice was too familiar to them, because the owner of this voice was Qi Wei, the first secretary of the county party committee of Dahu County.

That's right, this person is Qi Wei. Because of the Pengfei Company incident, he became the scapegoat that Sun Chengcun had to throw out. Under the accountability, he reluctantly left the position of secretary of the county party committee. Fortunately, with the face of his uncle Qi Hengsan, he was not demoted to the bottom in the end, but came to Huodian Township to serve as the deputy head of the township with a lower ranking.

The reason why he chose Huodian Township was that the township head was Qi Hengquan, a member of the Qi family. And he would most likely take over the position of secretary after the long-term ill secretary retired. With Qi Hengquan, the future secretary, taking care of him, Qi Wei's life would naturally be better. Secondly, Huodian Township was far away from the county town, and being away from Feng Sizhe's sight was a good thing, so he chose to work in Huodian Township.

Although Qi Wei seemed to be exiled, he was under the powerful influence of Qi Hengsan. In addition, his father Qi Hengshan was the big brother of the Bald Gang in Dahu County, and the head of Huodian Township was his cousin. Under these three backgrounds, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, it would be difficult. As the chief of a township police station, Song Daye naturally had to flatter Qi Wei.

"Hey, Mayor Qi, please don't say that. Every place has its own rules. Sometimes things like the ranking of deputy mayors are not necessarily decided by the county. As long as you arrive in Huodian Township, everything must be done according to the township rules here. Haha, in my opinion, Deputy Mayor Qi can be the first deputy mayor of our Huodian Township." Song Daye thought that there were no outsiders here, so he hurriedly flattered Qi Wei.

Qi Wei also chuckled when he heard Song Daye's flattering words. "No way, how could I be the first deputy township head? For example, Deputy Township Head Chen, his position in the township is higher than mine, and he is in charge of more things than me? I can't do that, no."

"Hahaha, it's that Chen Fei? Humph, I've disliked him for a long time. This kid relies on some authority in the hearts of the people and doesn't take me, Song Daye, seriously. Last time I released Ertou and a few others, he actually ran to the police station and pointed fingers and scolded me. Who does he think he is? Damn it, I'll make a note of this and I'll teach him a lesson sooner or later." Qi Wei's words seemed to have caused Song Daye's extreme dissatisfaction. When he mentioned Chen Fei, he looked very angry.

"Haha, Director Song, don't worry. In fact, you don't have to wait for a chance to deal with him. I think now is the best time to take action against him." Qi Wei said mysteriously.

"Oh? Mayor Qi, do you have any good ideas?" Song Daye was a little excited when he heard that he could deal with Chen Fei, and asked hurriedly.

"Of course there is a chance, hehe. As the chief of the police station here, you should know where Chen Fei is now, right?" Seeing that Song Daye was indeed curious, Qi Wei slowly began to tell him his plan step by step.

"Yes, I know. The heavy rain last night flooded Dawu Village and Wangge Village. He rode his bike there early in the morning to check the situation." At this point, Song Daye still didn't quite understand, and asked again, "But what's wrong with that? This is normal work. Village Chief Chen is in charge of agriculture in the village. The villages below were flooded, and the crops will definitely fail by the end of the year. It's normal for him to go and take a look."

"Haha, it's normal for Chen Fei to go down to check the water conditions, but did you notice who he went with?" Qi Wei reminded Song Daye in a low voice with an unfathomable look.

"It seems like he went with Wang Ruihua, the most beautiful girl in Dahu? So what? Haha, come to think of it, Wang Ruihua is really beautiful. If County Magistrate Qi hadn't spoken early in the morning, I, Old Song, would have been unable to restrain myself." Speaking of Wang Ruihua, Song Daye, who had drunk a little, spoke out his true feelings, not caring at all that Qi Wei's uncle was Deputy County Magistrate Qi Hengsan.

Listening to Song Daye saying that he also had feelings for Wang Ruihua, Qi Wei cursed in his heart that he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, "Hey, you also know that Wang Ruihua is beautiful. Then think about it, a normal man like Chen Fei working with such a beautiful girl, is it possible that something happened before that?" Qi Wei reminded Song Daye more deeply.
