The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Tang Cheng sat in his own special car, followed by a car from the Brother Hotel, which was the Audi that Yang Meixia gave to Tang Cheng earlier, driven by the four brothers of Guangguang Qianqiu, protecting Tang Cheng in the back! Several people went straight to Beiqi Town, Tang Cheng came to a micro-service private visit, went deep into the grassroots, there was no one from the office around him, and he did not greet Beiqi Town in advance, besides, at this time, Jia Zhichao, the party secretary of Beiqi Town, was in Guanghan City at this time, and he had not yet returned! It was also convenient for Tang Cheng to inquire about the real situation!
Tang Cheng's vehicle got down the county road and drove into a township road, and before entering the gate of Beiqi Town, there was a huge billboard erected on the side of the road, which read: Welcome to Beiqi Town, the hometown of cucumbers in Jiangdong!
At this time, Tang Cheng took a look at the land around the rural road, all of which were rows of cucumber greenhouses, the people of Beiqi Town responded to the call of the central government a few years ago, changed the adjustment of the industrial structure, changed the simple reliance on grain production, and transformed it into vegetable greenhouse production, the benefits of these years are really good, and the people planted cucumbers, and they did get some benefits!
Tang Cheng also saw a huge advertising slogan, which read: Jiangdong's largest cucumber market welcomes merchants from all over the world!
Tang Cheng asked his driver, "Is there a cucumber market in Beiqi Town?"
The driver said: "Of course, if there is a seed, there will be a sale, and the cucumber market in Beiqi Town is still very famous in this generation! The melon farmers all send cucumbers to this market!"
At this time, Tang Cheng actually approved of this Jia Zhichao a little in his heart, and established such a well-known cucumber market, which brought convenience and benefits to the local melon farmers! Without leaving home, he could exchange cucumbers for banknotes! It seems that this Jia Zhichao's political achievements under his rule are still good, and if Tang Cheng really pushes Jia Zhichao as a deputy county-level candidate to the municipal party committee, Tang Cheng is not wrong!
Tang Cheng's driver then said: "Of course, I have also heard that there are similar big markets in the agricultural areas with special characteristics, but there is also a bad phenomenon, and the vegetable farmers all say that those who grow vegetables are not as good as those who pour vegetables, and those who pour vegetables are not as good as opening markets! The real wealth has not gone into the pockets of the vegetable farmers at all, and most of the hard-earned money of the vegetable farmers has been squeezed by the vegetable sellers in the middle and the people who open the market! The vegetable farmers have only obtained three-tenths of the profits!"
Tang Cheng nodded, Tang Cheng had also heard such remarks.
Tang Cheng's car drove a little further, and the driver said: "Ten kilometers further ahead, there is the station of the Beiqi Town Party Committee and Government! The cucumber market is on the site of the Beiqi Town Party Committee and Government!"
Tang Cheng said to the driver with great interest: "Let's go, let's go to this cucumber market first!"
However, at this time, a strange scene happened on the side of the road, there were two granddaughters, riding a rickshaw, the old man pedaled the tricycle hard, a thin little girl, pushing hard behind, the tricycle was full of cucumbers, and was heading in the direction where Tang Cheng came, it seemed that they were going to sell cucumbers, but the cucumber market was in the north, why did they go to the south! Isn't this the opposite of the south, and the cucumber market will be farther and farther away from the cucumber market!
Tang Cheng got out of the car and asked, but if it really didn't work, he took a few baskets of cucumbers from the old melon farmer's tricycle to the market!
Tang Cheng stopped the car, and Tang Cheng stopped the old melon farmer and said, "Old man, you are going to sell melons!" However, I heard that the cucumber market is in the north, why are you going south?"
The old melon farmer glanced at Tang Cheng, and then looked at the two luxury cars that Tang Cheng drove, and saw that they were both luxury cars, and his eyes were immediately full of doubts and vigilance about Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng immediately understood that he had made a big mistake, he drove two such luxurious cars, and went to engage in a private visit to microservices, which was simply covering his ears and stealing the bell, and as soon as he got out of the car, the common people could see that Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person, either an official or a big money, anyway, he was not a person who was not with the common people! The common people would not tell Tang Cheng the truth, or they would not take care of Tang Cheng at all! The old melon farmer threw down Tang Cheng and still pedaled forward, his face was sweaty, and the thin little girl who was pushing the cart behind him was even more tired. But that's it, the two ancestors and grandsons bypassed Tang Cheng with cold faces and walked forward.
After Tang Cheng understood this truth, he immediately changed his strategy, he asked the driver to drive both cars back, Tang Cheng stopped taking the car, Tang Cheng walked to the cucumber market in Beiqi Town!
The driver asked, "Then when will I pick up the secretary?"
Tang Cheng said: "When the time comes, you don't have to worry about it, we will take a taxi back!"
Guangguang Qianqiu must follow, they want to protect Tang Cheng, especially when Tang Cheng Weifu is on a private visit, he needs someone to protect him, Tang Cheng asked Guangguang Qianqiu to leave three people to accompany Tang Cheng to Beiqi Town to investigate the facts, and the others drove away in two cars.
After Tang Cheng made the arrangements, the two cars drove back to Wancheng County first! Tang Cheng, under the protection of Guangguang Qiansan, walked to this Beiqi town, so that if he saw the common people again, the common people would no longer have a gap with Tang Cheng!
After Tang Cheng waited for his two cars to gradually disappear at the end of the road, Tang Cheng began to want to go to this Beiqi town on foot!
However, Tang Cheng had just walked forward more than 20 steps before something happened, and two red vans drove over at once, speeding past Tang Cheng and the others, and almost hit Tang Cheng's body, rolling up dust!
What kind of people are these! What kind of people are they!
However, what surprised Tang Cheng was far more than that, I saw that the two vans that drove past Tang Cheng chased down the tricycle of the old melon farmer who Tang Cheng had accosted and ignored Tang Cheng just now!
From the van, the four or five young people who came down in a roar, some of them were still holding a steel pipe in their hands, and Tang Cheng didn't hear a few words, and the four or five people who got down from the van came up and grabbed the cucumbers from the old melon farmer's cart, and they all wanted to move them to their van!
One is an old and frail old man, and the other is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, how can they resist a young strong man like a pack of hungry wolves! Just a few glances, the four baskets of cucumbers on the old man's tricycle were snatched into the van by several strong men, and then they were about to get in the car and drive away!
Of course, the old man didn't let him, so he rushed over and grabbed the door frame of the van, wanting to get his cucumber back, and the little girl also came over to help her grandfather and snatch back the fruits of her labor!
The dispute and disobedience of the grandfather and grandson angered the other party, and the other party lifted up one by one, and the old man was pushed out with one kick, and the little girl saw that her grandfather had fallen, so she hurried to hold her grandfather, and the other party said viciously: "This is the consequence of your disobedience to the regulations of market management, and you dare to go out to buy cucumbers without permission!"
After the people in the van confiscated the cucumbers and got into the car, they immediately turned around and walked away!
The van drove to the cucumber market, Tang Cheng turned around and walked to the side of the grandfather and grandson again, Tang Cheng helped up the old man who was kicked to the ground by the other party, Tang Cheng asked sincerely again: "Old man, why is this? Why did those people snatch your cucumber away just now?"
The old man struggled to stand up, looked at Tang Cheng, still didn't talk to Tang Cheng, took the little granddaughter's hand and said, "Let's go, follow grandpa back, and beg them to return our cucumbers!
It seems that the old man still doesn't trust Tang Cheng a little!
Tang Cheng asked the little girl kindly, "Little friend, you should be at school at this time, why don't you go to school?"
Tang Cheng asked the little girl's sadness in one sentence, and the little girl's eyes immediately moistened, and tears couldn't help but want to flow down!
The little girl looked at her grandfather, and in the face of Tang Cheng, who was smiling, the little girl finally spoke: "Of course I want to go to school!" However, my father died early, my mother remarried, I can only live with my grandfather, my grandfather is old, I have to help my grandfather do some work! No, I am helping my grandfather to sell cucumbers on the side of the provincial road, and grandpa said, that way, I can not only pay less market management tax, but also sell a few more money!"
Tang Cheng said to the old man: "Old man! The work in the fields is tight, but the children's studies are also very important, so we should try our best not to delay the children's studies! I heard that there is a large cucumber market in Beiqi Town, but why do you have to go to the edge of the provincial road to sell it? How much money can you save?"
Gradually, the old man relaxed his guard against Tang Cheng and told Tang Cheng the truth, and several people walked towards the cucumber market in Beiqi Town, while the old man told Tang Cheng about the grievances of the melon farmers!
It turned out that this old man's surname was Wu, his family lived in Wu Village, Beiqi Town, and his family conditions were special, so he had a son who died early, and his daughter-in-law remarried and threw his daughter to Wu Laohan, who was the little girl who followed him to buy cucumbers, called Wu Mengmeng!
As for why Wu Laohan is willing to pull cucumbers to the edge of the provincial highway to sell, this is all because of the black-hearted cucumber market owner Cao Yunbao, this Cao Yunbao is the brother-in-law of the head of the Beiqi Town Police Station, and it is said that he also has an extraordinary relationship with Jia Zhichao, the secretary of the party committee, he is the manager of the cucumber market, and he has the final say in managing the market, stipulating that the melon farmers in Beiqi Town and several nearby villages must send the cucumbers they collect to his market to sell, and the merchants who come here to collect cucumbers cannot buy them privately, but also go to his market to collect themHowever, the market will not provide a venue in vain, they have to collect taxes, and they have to take a commission! If they trade 100 yuan of cucumbers in their market, they will have to take 10 yuan, and if they come here to collect cucumbers, they will also draw 5 yuan out of 100 yuan! The melon farmers think that the commission tax drawn in the market is too much, and they do not want to enter the market to sell them, so it is better to go to the county town and sell them at a fair price! However, the market boss Cao Yunbao relied on the support of someone above, hired a lot of idle people, and patrolled back and forth on the boundary of Beiqi Town, once it was found that there were melon farmers who did not pull cucumbers to the market and sold them privately, they would all confiscate them!
When Tang Cheng heard this, he was angry, and he couldn't imagine that on the boundary of Wancheng County under his rule, there would be such a phenomenon of bullying the people, bullying the market, and running rampant!
Tang Cheng asked the old farmer, "You won't go to the town to reflect?"
The old melon farmer sighed and said: "I heard that the boss of the market is the brother-in-law of the head of the police station, and the town party committee and government also reimburse all kinds of entertainment expenses from the market! How can the officials speak for us ordinary people? I have reported it, but guess what the staff of the town government say?"
Tang Cheng suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you say?"
They said that strengthening market management and centralizing the sale of cucumbers was also for the benefit of local melon farmers and for the sake of facilitating unified management and prices, and they also said that it was for the sake of the interests of our local melon farmers as a whole! It was not allowed to sell cucumbers without permission! The old melon farmers said angrily: "They are really selling dog meat with sheep's heads! This is their consistent excuse for those government people!"
Tang Cheng took the old melon farmer's hand and said, "Let's go, old man, you just believe me once, I will accompany you, let's go to the market together, and I will help you get the baskets of cucumbers confiscated from you and return them intact!"
The old melon farmer didn't believe it, and said with some doubts: "It's up to you four people!"
The little girl on the side said: "They have an inspection brigade in the market! They are in charge of inspections, and there are more than 10 of them!"
