Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 612 Looking for a Marquis

After eating the classmate's wine for three days, Jian Heng invited him again, which indicated that the trip to the provincial capital of the Montana delegation was officially over, and the next trip to Songtan City was Songtan City, and there would be no provincial capital in the itinerary of Songtan City It was so long, one day, and in the afternoon of the next day, I had to go to Shihua County.

  The provincial government sent three buses, accompanied by a director of the Provincial Commerce Committee, Hu Chengzhi and Director Fang who had been drinking, and a new face was Jian Heng's classmate Xu Guanning.

   Along the way, Jian Heng and Hu Chengzhi sat in the second-to-last row of the back seat, and behind them sat Xu Guanning and Director Fang.

Xu Guanning leaned against the aisle, while Director Fang leaned against the window. Jian Heng and Hu Chengzhi chatted along the way. From time to time, Director Fang inserted a sentence or two to maintain a sense of presence. They all kept their mouths shut, and from time to time they helped the staff on the bus to give the guests some water or something.

Four people and two seats, with distinct levels and layers, one can tell the status at a glance, even Xu Guanning, who has the lowest status, attracts the envy of many staff members in the car, and is sometimes qualified to accompany the leader Sitting is also a sign of intimacy and alienation, isn't it? It's obvious that the person surnamed Xu is now in the eyes of the leader, and the future is promising!

   What Jian Heng and Hu Chengzhi are discussing here is really a big issue. It is said to be a discussion, but in fact, Jian Heng observes the agricultural development of the United States in the United States to see China's agricultural development goals.

  China's agricultural problems are actually very backward. As soon as these words were said, many patriots would jump out and scold Jian Hengshu for forgetting his ancestors. Why did he forget that Chinese farmers used rice to raise him so much after living in the United States for a few years.

   No matter what kind of label is put on, facts are facts. Where is the development of American agriculture now? The whole machine is controlled by computer, and the accuracy of fertilization can reach every root plant. It is also true that a few members of a family can manage tens of thousands of acres of land, and their planting efficiency is many times that of Chinese farmers.

The whole agricultural revolution brought about by brand-new technology, the production efficiency of information-based pastures, even many mechanized farms and pastures in the United States are challenged by these high-tech farms and pastures. Acres of land, a tractor solves the problem of small farming too.

  But now a question is, if the intensification and informatization of Chinese pastures will inevitably bring about unemployment for many farmers, then where is the way out for these farmers?

To be honest, the discussion between the two of them is a bit ridiculous, and the topic is a bit too big. This problem is not something that Jian Heng is qualified to solve, and it is not something that Hu Chengzhi can talk about here. But Hu Chengzhi still asked, and Jian Heng's side It was also a topic of bragging to pass the time in front of nonsense.

Everyone understands that China's agricultural intensification and informatization are the only way out, because only in this way can the competitiveness of China's agriculture increase. Not only does it increase competitiveness, the same centralized management can also bring higher output, but in In addition to countless benefits, the bad aspect is how to solve the livelihood of these landless farmers, which is a big deal.

What Jian Heng thought of talking about, of course, Jian Heng is not very familiar with Chinese agriculture, and the domestic part is superficial. To talk about it, he mainly talked about the operation mode of agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States, and Hu Chengzhi's side is the combination of agricultural and animal husbandry. The situation of American agriculture and animal husbandry, thinking about how to solve things in China.

From time to time, Director Fang would give a piece of Jiangnan Province data. These data made Jian Heng look at Director Fang differently. At first, Jian Heng thought that this person was a bureaucrat, but he didn't expect that this person would talk about a lot of data in such a way. , which made Jian Heng feel that the top-notch civil servants are really not as simple as he thought before.

  The convoy turned into and out of the expressway, and before they reached the exit, they saw that the reception staff in the city had already greeted them.

   "I didn't expect Secretary-General Zhao to come in person," Jian Heng said softly.

   Director Fang behind him reminded Jian Heng with a smile: "It's not Secretary General Zhao anymore, it's Mayor Zhao, Acting Mayor."

   "Oh! It turns out that the rank has risen." Jian Heng then remembered that this Secretary-General Zhao had already been promoted.

Thinking about it again, it’s not a big deal for the Montana delegation to be placed in the province, but in the city, it must be either the government or a senior city official, and the city will send a director to come. Montana is also at the provincial level. Level, no matter how the speaker is placed here, he must be a provincial position. If the city's senior officials and the mayor don't come forward, then the attitude is incorrect.

After arriving at the toll office, Mayor Zhao got into the first car directly, and chatted with the entourage and Mr. Speaker of Montana. Of course, it is essential for the police car to clear the way. The group arrived at the city hall and took a short rest After a while, Mayor Zhao held a welcome dinner, at which time the Secretary also showed up.

  Anyway, after eating and drinking, Jian Heng followed everyone to the city hotel and went back to the room to rest.

  Just after taking a shower, Jian Heng heard someone knocking on the door, and thought to himself: It's this time, who else will come to look for him?

  Opened the door and looked, and found Xu Guanning standing outside, holding a few braised vegetables in one hand and a bag of beer in the other.

  Letting Xu Guanning in, Jian Heng asked curiously, "Drinking beer at this time?"

  Xu Guanning said: "I can't sleep, and it's not appropriate to find someone else, so I come here to chat with you!"

Jian Heng didn't know that Xu Guanning was excited. When he received the accompanying delegation two days ago, Xu Guanning knew that his opportunity had come. If he was a mixed system and couldn't see such an opportunity, he would be a little boy all his life. Clerk's material. What does it mean to see the needles in every corner and what does it mean to create conditions without conditions? These are the necessary qualities for political ups and downs.

Although he didn't say a few words on the way today, he knew that he was standing next to the leader. At least he was acquainted with him. The leader knew that he was Xu Guanning, not to mention that he still had the heart to go to Hu Chengzhi's side. .

   There is an inauthentic saying: The three major things in life are getting promoted, getting rich, and leaving the wife. Although the words are a bit rough, they still make some sense. Xu Guanning is the first to be promoted. Do you think he can't be excited? How can he sleep with this excitement? It's not prudent to tell others, but to talk to others Jian Heng said there was no problem, so Xu Guanning bought some braised vegetables and came over to have a drink with Jian Heng.

  The two of them sat down and were going to chat while drinking a little wine. As soon as they untied the bag, Xu Guanning didn't mention anything about his promotion, but he mentioned a few times the neglect he had when he first met Jian Heng.

   "Okay, you're not done yet" Jian Heng was a little annoyed by what he heard.

   "Really, let's not talk about anything else, you will come back later and see my performance" Xu Guanning said.

  Jian Heng was just about to say something, when he heard someone knocking on the door again, he couldn't help saying, "Hey, that's weird!"

  Stand up and walk to the door. When he opened the door, Jian Heng thought that it was either Director Fang or Hu Chengzhi who came. He didn't expect Mayor Zhao, the former Director Zhao, to be standing at the door.

   "Mayor Zhao, you..." Jian Heng couldn't figure it out for a moment.

   Mayor Zhao asked with a smile: "Did you sleep?"

   Jian Heng nodded.

   "Didn't sleep? Let's chat for a while" Mayor Zhao turned his head to the secretary who was following him and said, "Go and do your own work, Brother Jian and I are not outsiders."

  Jian Heng didn't know what it was like when he heard it.

   "I still have a classmate here!" Jian Heng said.

When Jian Heng called Mayor Zhao, Xu Guanning stood up immediately, and when he came to the door, he stood with hands tied, looking at the door with a smile on his face. Hearing what Jian Heng said, Xu Guanning said: "Hello, Mayor Zhao." , I am Xiao Xu from the provincial government, Xu Guanning."

   "Oh, I know, I know" Mayor Zhao is quite enthusiastic here.

   "I don't have anything to do here, you two are chatting!" After finishing speaking, Xu Guanning backed out of the door with a slight bow and a smile.

  Jian Hengxin said: Are you okay? If you bought something and haven't eaten it yet, you just say it's all right, this officialdom is really not easy to mess with.

  Now Jian Heng has finally realized what it means to be overwhelmed by a high-ranking official.

As soon as Mayor Zhao entered the room, he saw that the stewed vegetables and beer on the table hadn't been touched, so he said with a smile: "This little Xu, he obviously didn't eat it, so why did he say it's all right? I don't eat people Let's sit down and talk together."

   Mayor Zhao just said that he drove away the secretary after talking with Jian Heng, why would Xu Guanning stay so blank? Isn't that stupid.

   "If you don't mind, let's chat and eat?" Jian Heng said.

   "Success!" Mayor Zhao sat down unceremoniously.

   "The one from Deshenglou, the stewed vegetables are very good." Mayor Zhao told the origin of the stewed vegetables as soon as he ate it.
