Xing Hua County's Lotus Leaf Town is a large agricultural town with 45 administrative villages, a population of nearly 100,000, and 120,000 mu of arable land. It is located in the hinterland of Nanzhou and has a flat terrain suitable for the development of agriculture. It is known as the small granary of Nanzhou. In order to increase the income of local farmers, the Municipal Government signed a cooperation agreement with the Provincial Department of Agriculture and the Municipal Land Reclamation Company to vigorously promote Lotus Leaf Town's food production base, scale, and technology.
Today, Chen Xing, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Ma Linping, Secretary General Jiang Bingxuan, Office Director Xiao Yuanqing, the Municipal Agriculture Bureau and other relevant departments, as well as the leaders of Xing Hua County Party Committee and County Government, came to Lotus Leaf Town for a field inspection.
This was the first agricultural production testing area in the city. At that time, the background was that Xing Hua County was located in a mountainous area with backward economic development and low income of farmers. Under such circumstances, combined with the geographical advantages of Lotus Leaf Town, the first municipal agricultural testing area was established to help local farmers increase their income and promote the local economic development.
Most of Xing Hua County was a mountainous area, and Lotus Leaf Town was the only agricultural town in the county with a flat terrain. Other places did not have the conditions to establish an agricultural testing area, so Lotus Leaf Town was the only agricultural testing area in the county.
The agricultural testing area has been established for several years, and the impact on the income of local residents is obvious. In the poor Xing Hua County, Lotus Leaf Town can be regarded as a relatively rich town.
County Party Secretary Xu Qingnian and County Magistrate Liu Jiancheng accompanied the inspection. As the new Party Secretary who took office less than a month ago, Xu Qingnian undoubtedly has absolute control over Xing Hua County. County Magistrate Liu Jiancheng, who was parachuted from the Municipal Party Committee, currently does not have the ability to wrestle with him.
The reason why Xu Qingnian was able to gain a foothold so quickly, other than the fact that he was promoted from the county magistrate and had a strong foundation in the county, it was also related to the strong support of the mayor, Chen Xing.
This was Chen Xing's second visit to Xing Hua County after he took office. Just like how a new national leader would choose which country to visit after taking office, some political signals could be interpreted. Chen Xing had visited Xing Hua County twice in less than a month after he took office. In the eyes of some people, this was also a signal.
Xu Qingnian thought that it was Chen Xing's strong support for him. In fact, this was part of the reason. Xu Qingnian was sensible, and Chen Xing was also willing to support him. He had to show his attitude towards those who sought refuge with him.
However, Chen Xing's visit to Lotus Leaf Town today was indeed arranged with the purpose of caring about the farmers' production. The agricultural experimental area of Lotus Leaf Town was not created by Chen Xing, but by the former mayor when he was in office. However, Chen Xing would not be indifferent because of this.
The country had a population of more than one billion, and the largest group was the farmers. Some people once said that only when the farmers became rich, the country could be considered to be truly rich and powerful. Chen Xing strongly agreed with this. When the largest class of the country was still in a poor state, the country could not be said to be truly rich and powerful, but should be said to be poor.
It can't be denied that some of the farmers have entered the stage of moderately well-off, and some have even become rich. However, the majority of the farmers have not yet been out of poverty. Chen Xing was not too clear about the data of other places, but he had worked in Ximen County, so he knew the current statistics of Nanzhou City.
Now was the critical period for the rice's growth. The heavy rain a few days ago had some impact on the entire paddy field. Some rice was blown down due to the strong wind, but fortunately, only a small part of it. The person in charge of the experimental area introduced the situation to Chen Xing and other leaders. At this moment, Chen Xing was squatting in a display field to check on the rice production.
Director Shen, in the future, your weather bureau should increase the support for the experimental area, and establish a joint meteorological service platform with the county, town, and experimental area to serve the experimental area and ensure that it can respond to any sudden bad weather. Chen Xing turned to look at the accompanying director of the city's weather bureau, Shen Yuan.
Mayor, rest assured, our bureau is in contact with the city's Agricultural University, and we are preparing to establish a remote video connection with the city's Agricultural University in the experimental area at the same time. We will carry out real-time monitoring of crops and vegetable seedlings, as well as pest control, and achieve the goal of monitoring automation. In the future, we will also have a more complete meteorological service platform. Shen Yuan spoke with fervor and assurance. As the director of the weather bureau, he was also conscientious and conscientious.
Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction. The cooperation between departments was very important.
The group walked along the paddy field. Chen Xing saw what seemed to be a watermelon field at the front, and suddenly became interested. It was a watermelon field in front, right? Let's go and have a look.
Mayor, at this time, the watermelons are not ripe yet. In another month or two, the watermelons produced here will sell well in other provinces. People all praise the watermelons of Lotus Leaf Town for being juicy, sweet, and full of water. When you bite down, your mouth is full of juice. The watermelons here are sold outside, and they are a little more expensive than the watermelons sold outside, but they are still sold out every year. Jia Canyang, the secretary of the Town Committee of Lotus Leaf Town, finally got a chance to show his face in front of Chen Xing. He smiled and introduced to Chen Xing.
Since the watermelons produced here have their own reputation, you should consider the scale and brand, create greater value, and increase the income of farmers. Chen Xing smiled.
The town has also considered it, but it is difficult to implement. Jia Canyang sighed.
"Yuanqing, take note of this matter. Later, let the relevant departments in the city cooperate with the county and the town to see if they can explore a feasible way to commercialize it." Chen Xing turned to Xiao Yuanqing and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanqing bowed his head and took out his notes seriously.
Jia Canyang and other cadres in the town were all happy. A word from the mayor was more effective than running to the city or the county.
Xu Qingnian had been standing by the side. He didn't have to deliberately look for opportunities to show his face. He was the secretary of the County Committee, and everyone knew that he was strongly supported by Chen Xing. At this moment, Xu Qingnian was very magnanimous.
Liu Jiancheng, the county magistrate, came down from the position of secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Xu Qingnian didn't know his background very well, but he vaguely knew that he had a relationship with the province. However, Liu Jiancheng had been very honest since he came to Xing. At this time, he was also in line with the rules. It seemed that he knew his position very well. Xu Qingnian was very proud.
This watermelon was really big. Walking to the watermelon field, Chen Xing stopped, squatted down and patted a watermelon with a smile on his face.
"Mayor, when the watermelons here are ripe, I will ask someone to send a few to you to have a taste." Xu Qingnian said aloud at this time, expressing his closeness with Chen Xing.
"It's okay to send them, but we still have to pay the farmers. Don't let people think that our leaders and cadres are freeloaders." Chen Xing smiled.
"That's right, that's right, the money must be paid." Xu Qingnian nodded in agreement with Chen Xing's words. In his opinion, as long as he gave an order, the people in the town would send a few of the best watermelons. Who would think of paying? He even thought that if the leaders were willing to eat it, the farmers should feel even more honored. Who would dare to think about the money? He didn't expect that Chen Xing would give such an order.
"Deputy Mayor Wang, your husband is crazy again. You have to go back and stop him."
"Deputy Mayor Wang, your husband's madness is acting up again …"
Just as Chen Xing and the others were chatting by the watermelon field, a barefooted man carrying a hoe ran over from the other end. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. Even before he arrived, his voice could be heard from afar, and it was filled with energy.
Chen Xing didn't know who the other party was calling and subconsciously looked at the people behind him.
At this time, Xu Qingnian's face darkened. "These farmers really … have no eyesight at all. Why don't they see that the municipal leaders are here? What are they shouting for?"
Seeing that the people coming over were still shouting, Xu Qingnian finally shook his head helplessly. How could he expect these honest farmers to have eyesight? He was also muddle-headed. At this time, he also turned his head curiously, not knowing who he was shouting for.
Soon, a woman in the crowd attracted everyone's attention, mainly because the people in the town subconsciously took the initiative to move away a little. A woman in her early thirties, who looked a little rustic but couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, appeared in front of everyone. She was Deputy Mayor Wang, Wang Yanchun. She was also the only female deputy mayor in the town and was responsible for the work of the masses.
Jia Canyang opened his mouth and wanted to say something. He glanced at Chen Xing and didn't dare to rashly speak.
"Mayor, my husband's illness is acting up again. I … I have to go back first." Wang Yanchun walked in front of Chen Xing with a red face. There was some anxiety in the depths of her eyes, and at the same time, she looked at the farmer who kept shouting. He was her neighbor. He must have seen her husband acting up just now and was about to come over to the field, so he came over to call for her.
"Well, go." Chen Xing nodded.
Hearing this, Wang Yanchun felt as if she had been pardoned. She trotted along the small path by the field, her beautiful figure vaguely visible under her loose clothes.
Chen Xing didn't expect that there would be such a young and beautiful female cadre in the town. He was slightly surprised.
