The mayor was also helpless. Taoshan Village was able to hire local tycoons to build roads because of its ability. He had said many times that there was no money in the county, but these villages just didn't believe it. Some time ago, they came here every now and then.
It¡¯s not like they¡¯re causing trouble, they¡¯re just sitting in the office, staying there all day long, and you can¡¯t control them.
He is just a small town mayor. Many of these village chiefs are quite arrogant, and the folk customs in the village are also fierce. If they really offend him, he will not even think about it.
Chen Yong frowned when he heard this and said: "No, it means no. Tell them realistically. If they dare to make trouble again and refuse to listen to the warning, formal measures will be taken to solve it."
The mayor nodded, indicating that he understood, but only he knew the bitterness in his heart.
Following the road to Taoshan Village, Chen Yong's eyes lit up. This village was not simple. It didn't look like the kind of place where only a few villagers lived.
When he came over, he made a point of finding out that Taoshan Village has been experiencing a steady migration of people with registered residence in the past few years. The young people have gone out to work. The permanent population is very small, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
There are quite a few villages of this type in the county under his jurisdiction. After all, this is a mountainous area with various restrictive factors. No matter how developed it is, it will definitely not be as good as other coastal plain areas.
In the past, he rarely went to mountain villages, and the mayor did it directly for him.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that this rare visit would yield unexpected gains.
"Tell me about the situation in Taoshan Village!"
The mayor hurriedly said: "This village has changed a lot, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"What do you mean?" Chen Yong asked.
"There are rumors in the surrounding villages that eggs in Taoshan Village are sold for eight yuan each, apples are sold for twenty or thirty yuan, and even hawthorns are sold for one or two yuan each. These prices are really outrageous. They all say that They deliberately did this stunt to increase sales."
When the mayor said this, he had a look of disbelief. Who would buy an egg for eight yuan? The eggs on the market now cost two or three yuan a pound, which is still oversupply. Not many people are willing to buy it. Those breeding farms suffered heavy losses, and many villages specializing in breeding came to the town to cry miserably.
¡°Anyway, during this period of time, he was really busy and couldn¡¯t do anything about it.
"Oh!" Chen Yong said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know when we get there."
They drove to the village committee and found that although the door was open, there was no one inside.
The mayor said: "It's really shameful. It's okay if we don't greet you when we come here, but no one is here yet."
Chen Yong dialed the number, and not long after, Jiang Tian came over, with Amethyst standing on his shoulders, looking at them curiously.
"I am Chen Yong, and this is the mayor."
Jiang Tian shook hands with him, "Hello, I am Jiang Tian, ??and I am also the village chief of Taoshan Village."
The mayor was surprised, "You are the village chief. Why don't I usually see you going to the town for meetings? This is not good. You have completely failed to fulfill your duties as a village chief. Seeing that you are so young, you should be a college student village official. You are in school and in society." It¡¯s different, you have to abide by all the rules that need to be followed, otherwise why would anyone elect you as the village chief?¡±
"Yes, yes, I was negligent." Jiang Tian said embarrassedly.
Since he was elected as the village chief, he has really never participated in such things, such as meetings, and he has never been to them. He has indeed failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a village chief.
But he probably won¡¯t go there in the future. He really doesn¡¯t want to be there for a half-day meeting without any nutrition. Should he resign?
I guess the people in the village won¡¯t agree, so let¡¯s elect a deputy village chief.
Jiang Tian thought this, and Chen Yong coughed slightly, "We are not here for official business this time. Didn't I call you yesterday and said you wanted to contract the land, right?"
The mayor immediately shut his mouth. This sentence contained several messages. One was to blame him for overstepping his authority, the other was to remind him not to let him use his identity as the mayor to do things here, and the third was that the magistrate personally called the other party. A phone call, this kind of treatment is not something ordinary people can enjoy. Fourthly, not only did he make a phone call, but he also rushed over the next day, which shows that the other party's status is extraordinary.
After receiving so many messages, cold sweat started to flow down the mayor's face. The more remote a person is, the more official he is, but also the more humane he is. He naturally knows that what he just said aroused Chen Yong's dissatisfaction. Yue, I offended others.
"Several crimes are punished at the same time. His townThe growth has come to an end.
Jiang Tian nodded and said, "I want to contract the place in Miaojia'ao. I'd like to ask if it's possible."
Chen Yong looked at the mayor. After all, he was responsible for this kind of thing. This was the reason why he was called here this time.
Unexpectedly, the more the mayor thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Now he was so frightened that he didn't even notice it.
"Cough!" Chen Yong pretended to cough, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. During normal meetings, the mayor would talk in a clear and logical manner, but now he was like this. The difference was really big.
The mayor heard the coughing sound and came back to his senses, realizing that he had lost too much money just now. If he continued like this, it would be over. Now he should hurry up and think about how to make up for it.
"Um, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about Miaojia'ao." After all, he is the mayor, so his reaction speed is very fast.
Of course, this is also the reason why Chen Yong and Jiang Tian did not expose it.
"I was in charge of the Miaojia'ao area. All the household registrations of the entire village had been moved. Moreover, due to its location in the mountains, transportation was inconvenient, the soil was poor, and it had no remaining value, so it was immediately abandoned. I thought If you want to contract, there is no big problem, we can contract it directly for you, no money required."
Chen Yong frowned.
Jiang Tian smiled and shook his head, "Let's follow the procedures. After all, although the place is deserted, it is still on the land list. If you use it without paying, I will not be at ease with it."
The mayor was stunned. He originally wanted to please the other party, but now it seems that he thought too much. Fortunately, there is still room for redemption.
"Ahem, in fact, this land is already abandoned. According to the above, if it can be contracted and used, it is a good thing, as long as it is not used to build polluting factories or engage in other activities. Illegal activities are enough, if you grow cash crops, food crops, etc., you can even get subsidies every year."
Chen Yong nodded, "This is indeed true. It is still the case now, just to make better use of the land." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
