Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

Chapter 9: Nationwide outbreak of swine fever

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and as they had been busy all night, everyone was hungry.

Zhang Jingzhong simply ordered the kitchen to reward everyone with a meal.

After all, the meat processing plant doesn’t have much else but a lot of meat.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Jingzhong even brought a full 20 kilograms of pork to give to Zhao Liming.

Zhao Liming would never accept this kind of thing.

You have to know that in that era, the meat processing plant was a county-owned enterprise.

The factory director Zhang Jingzhong is a deputy section-level cadre.

If he took the pork and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, he would not even be able to become the village chief.

However, Zhang Jingzhong repeatedly emphasized that he was only giving Zhao Liming a reward for his hard work, and said that if he did not accept it, it would mean that he was looking down on him.

In addition, the leaders of the meat processing plant and the breeding farm made another request.

Zhao Liming finally accepted it.

After all, he also knew that if he hadn't worked hard all night, not a single pig in the entire farm would have been saved.

If they didn't accept the meat, they would inevitably feel guilty.

In the end, Zhao Liming gave in.

After receiving the meat, Zhao Liming left the farm on the grounds that there were many things to do in the village.

“He is truly a rare talent!”

Watching Zhao Liming go away, Zhang Jingzhong couldn't help but sigh.

It's really rare for someone so young to have such ability.

Unfortunately, the waters in county enterprises are too deep.

Otherwise, he must be kept.

"Yes! Comrade Limin is indeed good."

"If it weren't for Comrade Limin, we really don't know what to do with our farm."

"No, I have to thank him later. Maybe I can ask him for help in the future."

"Yeah……"

Zhang Jingzhong said so.

The leaders below also started talking and laughing.

Zhao Liming saved more than just the pigs from the meat processing plant.

It even saved their lives.

Feng Guozhi, who was not far away, was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Zhao Liming let bygones be bygones.

Otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Zi..."

"Zi..."

Just as Zhang Jingzhong waved his hand and asked the leaders of the meat processing plant to disperse one by one, an emergency brake sound was heard.

I saw a black car and two jeeps parked in front of the farm.

Then, a bald middle-aged man in his fifties led a group of people and walked out of the black car, looking exhausted.

"County Magistrate Luo?"

This scene scared Zhang Jingzhong.

"County Magistrate Luo, why are you here?"

Zhang Jingzhong was extremely shocked and rushed to greet him.

This is the third in command of Tu County, Deputy County Mayor Luo.

Although he is Deputy County Magistrate Luo's man.

Deputy County Mayor Ke Luo came to the farm in person.

He couldn't help being a little surprised.

"How's the situation?"

Luo Guoqing looked a little flustered, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked.

"Condition?"

Zhang Jingzhong was a little confused.

"You...sigh..."

Luo Guoqing glanced at Zhang Jingzhong and was too lazy to continue.

He strode straight into the farm.

Although Luo Guoqing ranks third in the county.

However, he was in charge of the county's economy and animal husbandry.

However, just last night, when he was attending a meeting in the city, he learned an explosive piece of news.

A devastating swine fever broke out across the country.

In major farms across the country, no less than one million pigs died.

More importantly, this swine fever continues to spread.

Even the farms in his county began to be infected with swine fever.

So, after the meeting, he rushed back to Tu County almost overnight.

He knew very well that as a large livestock-raising county, if swine fever broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Even the entire county's economy will suffer a devastating blow.

"County Magistrate Luo... County Magistrate Luo..."

Zhang Jingzhong was a little confused.

Not only him, but even the leaders of the breeding farm and the meat processing plant were stunned.

However, they still followed one by one.

"This is……"

However, when Luo Guoqing led a group of people and rushed into the large breeding farm.

The scene before him completely shocked him.

What caught my eye were densely packed, fat and strong pigs.

There is no sign of swine fever.

You know, in order to determine the situation of the farm.

He even called to confirm it.

A large number of pigs did die in the farm.

But now?

Wait until he comes back and take a look.

Where are the signs of swine fever and death?

"Lao Zhang, what's going on?"

Luo Guoqing looked at Zhang Jingzhong with disbelief.

"..."

Zhang Jingzhong was also stunned.

But after a moment, I immediately understood what was going on.

"Are you talking about the sick pigs? To be honest, the pigs' condition has been brought under control."

Zhang Jingzhong smiled bitterly.

He didn't report the matter!

The results of it?

Even the leaders above were alarmed.

"What? The condition is under control? Are you sure?"

Luo Guoqing learned about it during the meeting.

Even the experts above are helpless against the outbreak of swine fever this time.

Otherwise, it would not have spread across the country.

Tell him now.

The condition is under control.

More importantly, is it because their Tu County is a small county with inadequate medical conditions?

"Is this true? County Magistrate Luo knows how many pigs we have in our farm."

Zhang Jingzhong smiled, glanced at the farm and explained.

"This this……"

Luo Guoqing said nothing.

Because what I saw before me completely confirmed everything.

There are about 10,000 to 20,000 heads of cattle in the entire farm.

What now?

There are so many more.

In other words, the number of deaths in farms due to this swine fever is negligible.

"Lao Zhang, do you know what kind of meeting the city is holding this time? That's right, it's an important meeting about swine fever."

"As far as I know, swine fever has broken out in more than 100 counties in eight provinces across the country, and the death toll has exceeded more than 2 million..."

Luo Guoqing did not lie, but looked at Zhang Jingzhong very seriously and affirmatively.

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.

Nationwide swine fever?

Even more than a few million deaths?

This...what a terrifying number.

One can imagine.

"So, you must tell me the truth. What happened in our farm?"

Luo Guoqing knew very well what this meant.

Experts in all major provinces across the country have failed to conquer this swine fever.

But they conquered the county.

This is an absolute miracle.

"..."

Zhang Jingzhong was completely shocked.

But he was more clear.

This time, what a great contribution Zhao Liming made.

A nationwide swine fever?

The death toll exceeded two million.

It has not been conquered yet.

Needless to say, how much wealth was lost.

The results of it?

Such a complicated plague was conquered by a village chief.
