    Facing Zhang Yi¡¯s questioning and hopeful gaze, Liu Xinghua fell silent. He lowered his head and thought carefully, naturally knowing the cost.

    After a long time, Liu Xinghua raised his head and looked at Zhang Yi in front of him. Suddenly, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was exactly the same as Zhang Xian. When did the third child of the Zhang family learn to be as cunning and scheming as Zhang Xian?  ?  He still hesitated and said worriedly: "Even if our province keeps the food, the central government may send it to other provinces. The situation in other provinces is not optimistic. For example, our neighboring provinces Anhui and Henan are short of food.  The level is even worse than that of our province! The state's aid is something that has been promised to others. For the sake of international influence, the central government will definitely not break its promise! If this task is sent to other provinces, the situation may be worse.  !¡±

    Zhang Yi frowned and persuaded again: "Old chief, if these grains are transferred to other provinces for emergency relief, I have nothing to say! Everyone has the palm of their hand and the back of their hand, and the people in any province are  We need relief! However, this food is given away for free! You can criticize me for being selfish and not having an international perspective, but I only know that tens of thousands of our own people are starving to death, and the central government has  What relief measures have been taken?¡±

    Liu Xinghua shook his head and told him helplessly: "Nowadays, the cadres below are engaging in exaggeration. The central government still thinks that the situation is great. Who dares to burst this bubble?"

    Zhang Yi's face became tense and he said to Liu Xinghua: "Old chief, look at our Huangcheng County, and then look at other counties! This is the situation. If I, the county party secretary, don't find a way to save myself,  The people in this county, then our county will definitely be like other counties!¡±

    Liu Xinghua was startled suddenly, and his heart gradually became clear.

    "Old Chief, you are right. If we withhold grain rations privately, the central government may levy it from other provinces. However, if we don't do this and don't make this matter a big deal, then the central government may never know what's going on below.  The real situation! Perhaps, after the central government learns the real situation, it will re-examine its foreign aid commitments and cancel grain transfers from the provinces!"

    Liu Xinghua thought about it again. After thinking about it, he still felt that it should be more prudent. He said to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, your idea is indeed an emergency solution, but I think I'd better go to Beijing.  Report the real situation in our province to the central government and implore the central government not to divert grain from our province!"

    Zhang Yi frowned and said quickly: "I'm afraid it's too late!"

    "Why?" Liu Xinghua asked hurriedly.

    Zhang Yidao: "Our county's grain storage depot has received notification from above. A convoy from the Wuhan Military Region will come tonight to transport grain, and our county is required to do a good job in receiving it!"

    "What? So fast?" Liu Xinghua was also a little surprised.

    Zhang Yi nodded solemnly, immediately pulled out a letter from the Wuhan Military Region from his desk, and handed it to Liu Xinghua.

    Liu Xinghua was speechless after reading it. He was still wondering how Zhang Yi knew so many things. Even he, the acting governor, didn't know these things, but it turned out to be this.  Naturally, the Central Grain Control Bureau would not come over to discuss with him, but directly handed over this task to the troops of the Wuhan Military Region to assist.

    Zhang Yi saw that Liu Xinghua was still deep in thought, and said with some urgency: "Old chief, if you want to make a decision, you must make a decision now. As long as today passes, the grain will probably be loaded on trains and shipped to Guangzhou Port. Even if it is  You ran fast and reached Beijing, and the central government also agreed with your opinion, so you will definitely run out of time! As long as this food leaves the provincial border, it will never come back!"

    Liu Xinghua was stunned. According to Zhang Yi, not to mention that he wanted to go to Beijing to report, it would definitely be too late to return to Wuhan to communicate and discuss with the provincial party committee team. However, he was still unwilling to give up. He stood up and said:  Zhang Yi ordered: "Zhang Yi, call me from your county to the provincial party committee. I want to talk to the secretary of the provincial party committee and discuss it!"

    Zhang Yi nodded, agreed, and immediately walked to the confidential office with Liu Xinghua. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and there was only one person on duty in the confidential office. However, he did not get through to the Wuhan call center after a long time.  Side phone.  Huangcheng County is not a traffic hub, so there is only one telephone line leading to Huangzhou District. When calling from Huangcheng County to Wuhan, it has to be transferred from Huangzhou District. This process took nearly two hours;  After calling the Wuhan Provincial Party Committee, no one answered. Liu Xinghua looked at his watch and realized that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. The person on duty must have rushed to eat, but at this time, Zhang Yi's  Secretary Xiao Jiang hurried over. He was sent by Zhang Yi to contact the Wuhan Military Region.Squeezing over, he handed the loudspeaker in his hand to Zhang Yi's hand. Zhang Yi's voice became louder, and the noisy people in the field gradually subsided. Everyone seemed to have been trained and cooperated in a tacit understanding.  They all closed their mouths and raised their ears at the same time, for fear of hearing a wrong word.

    "Folks! I know your suffering, and the Party also knows it. Please believe me, believe in our Party, and don't be so impulsive!"

    "People in our team are starving to death, does the party know?" a young man blurted out, interrupting Zhang Yi's words.

    Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and replied: "The Party knows that, and the Party will definitely solve the ration problem for everyone!"

    "If the party knows, why does it still transport the grain away? Why doesn't it distribute it to us and let us starve?" Another person asked again.

    Zhang Yi had no choice but to reply: "These grains have to be transported to places where they are more needed, but don't worry, the province is studying solutions, and I believe everyone will have rations soon!"

    "This food is all collected from us and belongs to us. Why should we give it to others first when we are still hungry?" someone even asked loudly.

    As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a large number of echoes, and the scene became noisy again.

    "Folks, be quiet! Be quiet! Listen to me!" Zhang Yi shouted several times, and the crowd gradually calmed down, and once again turned all their attention to Zhang Yi.

    Zhang Yi cleared his throat, and his mind was spinning rapidly. He knew that if this situation develops viciously, it will definitely lead to the masses grabbing food and the troops shooting. If it really causes a bloody conflict, then I am afraid that no one can do anything about it.  Take the final responsibility.  He must control the situation, even if he lies or deceives, he must disperse the gathered people, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.  While he was thinking about it, he shouted loudly: "Please listen to me and disperse first. If you still believe me, then I can guarantee you that within three days, you will definitely get your share."  Rations!¡±

    Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s guarantee, the crowd immediately started discussing it heatedly, and it was obvious that they were somewhat dubious about his words.  A member of the crowd asked loudly below: "Secretary Zhang, you are the secretary of Huangcheng County. We all know that you are a good cadre. No one has starved to death in Huangcheng County! But how can you guarantee that we in Macheng County will also  Do you have food rations?¡±

    This question is indeed doubted by everyone. No one believes that the secretary of Huangcheng County can take charge of Macheng County.

    Zhang Yi smiled to cover up his uneasiness when he lied just now. He cast his eyes on Liu Xinghua, who was standing next to the jeep in the distance, and shouted to everyone again: "I am indeed just the secretary of Huangcheng County.  But I want to tell you today that our Governor Liu is here. If you don¡¯t believe me, then let Governor Liu speak!¡±

    The scene immediately became silent, only the crackling sound of the pine tar torch was heard. Everyone followed the direction of Zhang Yi's finger and looked towards Liu Xinghua.

    Liu Xinghua nodded calmly. He knew that he had to play at this time, and strode towards Zhang Yi. The crowd automatically opened a gap, allowing him to walk up the high slope.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
