On the same day, just after Qi Hengsan was invited to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Fengweiju Hotel in Dahu County was closed down. Luo Jinlong, the director of the Dahu County Public Security Bureau, led a team to search Qi Hengdan's room upstairs in the hotel and found 500,000 yuan in cash and a Type 54 police pistol. Qi Hengdan broke his leg when he jumped from the third floor while escaping. In the face of such strong evidence, he will face a lifetime in prison after breaking his leg.

Provincial Party Committee, Dong Ke did not expose Cheng Jinbao after he was arrested, because Deputy Secretary Cheng promised him that he would definitely help him to rise again after he became the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. But no one expected that in a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the Provincial Executive Deputy Provincial Group Deng Wanzhi, Organization Minister Guan Changxiao, and Provincial Military Commander Wang Peizhi actually jointly put pressure on Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection Zhu Yingcai, demanding that the problem of Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection Cheng Jinbao be dealt with seriously. At the same time, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also received letters about various issues with Cheng Jinbao, and there was a rumor that they would investigate the Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Zhongzhou Province.

Faced with heavy pressure, Zhu Yingcai had no choice but to make a painful decision and transfer Cheng Jinbao from the first deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to the deputy secretary in charge of logistics. Don't underestimate this small move. In fact, his plan to be promoted to the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is basically ruined. If there is no chance in the future, he will probably have to retire in this position.

Deng Wanzhi is from the Zu faction, Guan Changxiao is from the Miao faction, and Wang Peizhi is from the He faction. The three factions were able to join forces, and the key to this was naturally Feng Sizhe. A small deputy county magistrate actually managed to change the job of a provincial disciplinary committee deputy secretary and a senior official at the department level. This must be said to be too powerful. This move made him famous in Zhongzhou Province. No one dared to look down on him. People in the disciplinary committee regarded him as a tiger and wolf, and dared not provoke him lightly.

This was exactly what Feng Sizhe wanted. In fact, it was not his purpose to do anything to Cheng Jinbao. His goal was to let others know that he was not easy to mess with. As for the real Wen family behind this incident, they never took action after the He family got involved. Even when Cheng Jinbao called them for help after he was arrested, they ignored him. Maybe Wen Chaoying also saw that he was a bit of a bully this time, and he didn't want to give people a chance to criticize him.

With Qi Hengsan being placed under double supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the arrival of the new Minister of United Front Work, the controversy over Feng Sizhe being invited for tea was finally over. As a result, Feng Sizhe was undoubtedly the biggest winner again.

The new Minister of United Front Work is Wei Xiang, a veteran of the Municipal United Front Work Department. This time he had the opportunity to come to Dahu County to serve as a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, and of course he was promoted.

Mayor Chang Ning reported Wei Xiang's information to him very quickly. He was a member of Wang Yanjin's faction, and belonged to the Qiu Fugui faction of Yongyang City.

This time, Chang Ning and others strongly requested to take down Qi Hengsan, and in exchange, Qiu Fugui's people would take the vacant position of Minister of United Front Work. Thinking that this position was not that important, Chang Ning and others gave the position to Qiu Fugui after analysis.

Chang Ning made concessions. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cai Xingmin also did not have much idea about this position. In his opinion, there were two reasons why he did not fight for this position. First, he was the candidate for the Minister of United Front Work, not the deputy secretary of the county magistrate, not the deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, so the value was limited. Second, he watched Qi Hengsan being put under double supervision and did not contribute anything. It seemed inappropriate to come out and share the fruits at this time, which would easily arouse hostility from the reformists of the Standing Committee and the localists who hated wealth, so he gave up for this reason.

In this way, Wei Xiang came to Dahu County as he wished. As soon as he entered Dahu County, he quickly got along well with Deputy Secretary He Zhuhua, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Yang Chao, and Minister of Armed Forces Li Wanli. It can also be seen that he must have received permission from Minister Wang Yanjin, which is why he was so anxious.

But these were no longer of much significance to Feng Sizhe. After his return, the county's road repairs were on track and the project was finally completed on schedule. The next step was the harvest season, and he had too many things to do. He no longer cared about Wei Xiang. After Qi Hengsan was arrested, He Zhuhua, Yang Chao and others became much more honest. Li Wanli, who had just defected, was even less of a threat. It could be said that after half a year, Feng Sizhe had completely established himself in Dahu County, and he could intervene and have a say in many key departments.

Feng Sizhe is no longer the rookie who has just arrived in Dahu and is ignored by everyone. In a sense, although he is not the secretary or the county magistrate, everyone has to seriously consider what he says, otherwise they may face a strong counterattack from him.

During this incident where the Discipline Inspection Commission invited people to have tea, some were happy while others were worried. For example, the Minister of Armed Forces Li Wanli had already begun to move closer to Feng Sizhe and gained a certain degree of trust. However, because he did not stand firm in this incident, he got too close to He Zhuhua and others in private. He even called the county party committee secretary Sun Shicun and asked him not to sign the list to protect Feng. Although Secretary Sun did not give him a chance to regret it in the end, this incident still caused him to become estranged from Feng Sizhe, and he ultimately did not join Feng's faction and failed to become his ally.

There is also the secretary Zhou Xingxing, because he performed very well this time. He didn't even listen to his future father-in-law and didn't say a word against Feng Sizhe. Now he has regained the trust of County Magistrate Feng. Although he is not as valued as before, Feng Sizhe will bring him along on many occasions.

Zhou Xingxing was naturally the beneficiary, but Ruan Jisheng was hit hard in the Organization Department, and his deputy minister's ranking was squeezed down. Now he basically has an empty position, and Li Yige doesn't let him interfere in anything. Ruan Jisheng knew that he had made a mistake in standing on the right side, so he had to let his daughter go. When Ruan Xiaoqing came to Zhou Xingxing and cried, the two reconciled. This matter was originally someone else's personal feeling, but Feng Sizhe saw it, and he could only sigh. Zhou Xingxing has such a powerful uncle and such a powerful father-in-law, so this boy's future will not be too bright.

At the end of October, Dahu County finally ushered in the harvest season.

The cotton harvest was good. The soil was fertile, and with the high-quality seeds provided by Pengfei Company, the yield was naturally high and the quality was excellent. When the cotton harvest was good, the vehicles hired by Pengfei Company appeared in Chengguan Town. One vehicle after another was filled, and stacks of RMB were delivered to the farmers. Pengfei Company kept its promise with practical actions.

The road was repaired, and Huodian Township did a good job in flood control today. While other sweet potato growing areas saw a sharp drop in production, they did have a bumper harvest. On the wide road, trucks came one after another, loaded with freshly unearthed sweet potatoes, which benefited the local people again and made them see that they could get rich by relying on the land.

The ones who had the best harvest were the peanut farmers. They could save a lot of transportation costs as they could push bags of peanuts directly to the Pengfei processing plant on flatbed carts. After the quality was checked and the peanuts were weighed, they could get cash. The people who came out of the factory were all smiling. Pengfei Company did not tell a lie, so the purchase price was all based on the original contract, so the farmers made a lot of money.

The success of Chengguan Town and Huodian Township made the other nine towns and twelve townships in Dahu County jealous. Almost immediately, the door of Deputy County Chief Feng’s office was blocked by the top leaders of these towns and villages. Obviously, these people came to County Chief Feng to get the contract. They also demanded land reform and they also demanded to become an agricultural base like Chengguan Town and Huodian Township. They also wanted to help farmers get rich.

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Feng Sizhe certainly accepted everyone who came. As long as the soil requirements met the standards, he would sign after strict approval. As a result, the officials who went down to approve, such as the Standing Committee Deputy County Mayor Zhang Youlun, the ordinary Deputy County Mayor He Wenbao, and Wang Ming became popular. No matter which township they went to, they were warmly welcomed by the locals. The clean people of the Feng faction finally got everyone's recognition and the support and approval of the people.

Feng Sizhe's personal prestige was unmatched. For a time, whenever his name was mentioned among the people, everyone would give him a thumbs up. The county agricultural bureau stipulated that workers who participated in the road repair project could sign the land contract for the next year, which made some people who did not respond to the county's road repair project miserable. If they had known that farming could also make a fortune, they would have listened to County Magistrate Feng and participated in the road repair project. Of course, those who listened to Feng Sizhe were even more happy at this moment. The facts made them believe that listening to County Magistrate Feng would not be wrong.

Dahu County is a county with a large number of farmers, and the main source of fiscal revenue is basically the agricultural tax. However, due to the poor agricultural economy in recent years, there are many wastelands that have not been cultivated every year, so the agricultural tax cannot be fully collected. However, this year, the success of the agricultural reform pilot has given farmers new hope. All the land, even the wasteland in remote areas that has not been cultivated for many years, has begun to be cultivated. There is no other way. Some people can't find land to plant, so they can only choose those wastelands. Fortunately, the county agricultural bureau also subsidizes wasteland, and the agricultural tax paid is relatively small, which can be regarded as another form of compensation.

The full collection of agricultural taxes made it possible for Dahu County to have a surplus at the end of the year for the first time. It can be said that if agricultural taxes could be paid on time every year, Dahu County would no longer need to rely on state compensation and could be completely self-sufficient.
