Chapter 167

The old village chief and the brigade secretary did not come. The people who came to the Jiang family were the people with the highest status in the village, including Jiang Town Chief and Jiang Guotai.

Even ten years later, Jiang Guotai's influence even exceeded that of Jiang Town Chief. He was the first person in the area to have assets of over 100 million. When his total assets were at their highest, they reached nearly 10 billion. His connections went all the way to the province.

Jiang Wu's development in his previous life was so smooth. In addition to following the right leader and being steadfast, this cousin also made a lot of efforts behind the scenes. However, on the surface, the two people had no relationship at all. His connections in the province were not hers, and they were not even from her family.

Unfortunately, this cousin was involved in such a big political struggle as the change of power in the country. His downfall behind the scenes also implicated him. He was sentenced to ten years for bribery, provoking trouble and other crimes.

Jiang Xi did not visit him, but Jiang's father often visited him, brought him many books, and often wrote to him.

Jiang's father sometimes called her and said that in just a few years, the cousin's hair, who used to be high-spirited and arrogant, had turned completely white.

In other words, he wanted Jiang Xi to help him get out earlier.

What Jiang's father did not know was that the cousin was only sentenced to ten years, which was the result of her secret help.

This was the first and only time in her career that she used her connections to secretly help someone.

Look, even she has her own selfish motives.

But just like this cousin helped her secretly but never had any contact with her, only she knew it in her heart, she helped him, no one knew, only this cousin knew it vaguely in his heart, and kept persuading Jiang's father to be good to Jiang Xi, and Jiang Xi supported her no matter what she said.

Only when she is good, the whole family will be good.

Jiang's father's personality is actually a bit like Jiang Song. Among the family members, he can listen to Jiang Xi's words. He can't listen to anyone else's words. In fact, he has a kind of arrogance of a scholar in his heart. He thinks that all family members know nothing. Only Jiang Xi is better than him, and his words are wise and reasonable. He will listen. Most of the time, he is like Jiang Song, and can only listen to outsiders.

The difference is that Jiang's father's friends are really smart, resourceful, and experienced. They really want the best for him, Jiang Xi, and the whole family.

However, some of Jiang Song's friends want to bite off a piece of meat from him, or even kill his evil friends and bad friends.

Because of the advice of this uncle, even if Jiang's father wanted Jiang Xi to help Jiang Song, he always restrained Jiang's mother. In response to Jiang Song's advice, he also wanted to please Jiang Xi and bring his grandchildren to visit Jiang Xi, hoping that Jiang Xi would be closer to his nephews and nieces, and get some of his aunt's influence.

But Jiang Song has a bad temper, so how could he listen to Jiang's father? He has always looked down on his two younger brothers and sisters. Even though Jiang Xi has become a successful and outstanding person in the village, Jiang Song knows this in his heart, but he just can't bring himself to please Jiang Xi.

He also knows that he doesn't need to please Jiang Xi, because Jiang's father and mother will do it for him. If he really has any problems, his parents will not ignore him, and he will always have a way out.

It was Jiang Xi who told him with practical actions that she would never be his way out. If he dared to cause trouble to her, she would be the first to kill him, or send him to jail and increase his sentence.

It can be said that Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai are the group with the highest vision, the broadest knowledge, and the smartest in the entire Jiangjia Village.

Especially Mayor Jiang.

Jiang Guotai is still just a businessman, and currently only a small factory manager. He has just contracted the construction of the expressway and has not yet become the richest man in the neighboring city in a dozen years.

But Mayor Jiang is really starting from the grassroots, governing a township, and now governing a town.

He could never have imagined that Jiang Xi, who is only 18 years old, has so many things in his mind... not just wild ideas, but things that can be truly implemented and can lead the people of his hometown to wealth.

This is a Peking University student, this is a student who won an international gold medal, this is Wenquxing?

It is so simple, and it is a completely feasible idea. It sounds simple, but in fact, among all of you present, except Jiang Guotai, it is almost impossible for anyone to think of it. Even Jiang Guotai is limited by his knowledge and experience. His thinking and ruthlessness are all used to deal with the government, such as competing for projects and land, and expanding his own business territory. Not

to mention that Mayor Jiang looked at Jiang Luo in shock, how could Jiang Guotai not be shocked?

Jiang Guotai could not think of it before, but his knowledge and experience limited his thinking. He had never thought about it in this way. He even thought that the only way to make his hometown rich was to build the Shahe Bridge to connect the two sides.

He believed that the way out for all the villagers was outside, so he had been working hard outside for the past few years. He bought a house in the town early, and then bought a house in the neighboring city and settled there.

He never thought about coming back to build his hometown.

It's not that he didn't think about coming back to build his hometown, but that was more than ten years later. Even when he fell from power and had many charges against him, the entire Linhe Brigade, including the people in the neighboring Shijian Township, only praised and thanked him.

Because the cement road in their hometown was donated by him to the tribe members so that they could open it.

Jiangjia Village is also the first village among all the nearby villages to have a cement road built throughout the village and no longer suffer from mud. Including the elderly activity center and parking lot in the center of the village, they were all built by him.

Such a person, as long as you open his mind, he will immediately understand the feasibility of what Jiang Xi said about building his hometown.

"You said that the small peppers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside are wolfberries?" Jiang Guotai was puzzled: "Are you sure that thing is wolfberry?"

They have all seen dried wolfberries, but none of them have seen fresh wolfberries, let alone thought that the things they can see everywhere and are being wasted are actually wolfberries!

This thing is everywhere, on both sides of the dikes and ridges, densely packed, a scene of brilliant red. They have seen it since they were young. The elders in the village said it was a small pepper, a snake fruit. Even if someone tried it, it was not spicy, but the older generation said it was poisonous and could not be eaten. It was passed down from generation to generation, and no one ate it, let alone knew that it was actually wild wolfberry.

Wolfberry is a good thing, who doesn't know this!

This is the limitation of knowledge. The treasure is clearly right next to you, but you are in a treasure mountain, but you don't recognize the treasure.

Jiang Xiao nodded, his lips slightly raised. "That is indeed wolfberry. Such a large and dense area of ​​wild wolfberry, I don't need to tell you what it means. Fourth uncle and uncle also know that our land is very suitable for large-scale wolfberry planting. What we lack now is only experts who can teach us how to plant wolfberries, scientific methods of planting wolfberries, and better wolfberry varieties and seedlings."

Jiang Wu thought of the tea mountain behind him, "There is also the tea mountain behind us. Uncle always brings some Mingqian tea from our tea mountain when he goes out every year, right?"

These Mingqian teas are not taken out for drinking by oneself, but for giving to others.

Give to leaders and friends to build closer relationships.

These teas are not expensive because they are produced by themselves. However, because the tea leaves grown from tea seeds have a strong tea fragrance, a smooth taste, clear tea soup and sweet taste, they are deeply loved by tea lovers. They

are very suitable for giving as gifts.

Even Jiang Wu himself, in his previous life, gave away tea leaves from his hometown.

But such a treasure mountain has no one to develop, and no one wants to develop it.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but think of a tea village in Province Z that was famous for its tea.

This tea village is located in a very backward and isolated place with inaccessible mountain roads and inconvenient transportation. It is also a remote mountainous area where ethnic minorities and Han people live together.

However, under the leadership of their brigade secretary, this poor and backward village has achieved an average annual income of over one million yuan for farmers through tea planting in 20 years. It has become a major taxpayer in the local county and city, and has been personally approved and received by the top leader and is a well-known rich village in the country.

Are there few tea mountains like this in China? Quite a few.

But only this small mountain village has really made use of their tea mountain, allocating tea fields to every household, and leading the whole village and foreign ethnic minorities to plant various varieties of tea trees on nearby hills, large and small, and use the stories of well-known local celebrities to create a celebrity effect, step by step, to promote the tea produced in the local tea mountain, and even made a name for itself at the World Agricultural Expo and went abroad.

Passing by this tea mountain, Jiang Xi talked about the neighboring Shijian Township, which is the township where Jiang Zhenzhang once served as the township head, because Shijian Township has a very famous and popular mountain called Wugong Mountain.

Wugong is the place where five famous ministers and officials lived in seclusion during the Song Dynasty. Later generations called them Wugong. The temples on Wugong Mountain that are now popular with incense are said to be their seclusion.

Jiang Xi can even make up dozens of stories about the Wugong living in seclusion here and tea leaves in an instant.

In this way, the foundation of tea mountain tea leaves was established.

Jiang Xi talked about how to distribute tea land to villagers, how to cooperate with the government to select tea seeds and seedlings from experts, how to use the stories of five celebrities such as "Wugong" to promote and package tea, and how to go to tea expos and agricultural expos to make a name for themselves.

Even the stream water in their Shijian is so clear and sweet, the water flow is so large that a bridge needs to be built to cross the stream, and the underground water source is abundant.

Just like a phrase in later generations: We don’t produce water, we are just nature’s porters.

She said to Jiang Guotai: “Once the tea leaves become famous, Uncle can also build a tea beverage factory here, which can not only boost local economic tax revenue, but also create jobs. Uncle has more advantages than outsiders who are attracted by investment. Internally, Uncle is a local with a large family. Externally…”

She glanced at Mayor Jiang. She didn’t say anything, but the people sitting there all understood what Jiang Qi meant.

Within the government, there is also Mayor Jiang, who is not afraid of being ripped off by some local people.

Once the hometown economy really develops as Jiang Qi said, Mayor Jiang’s next step is to go to the county, and maybe even be promoted to the county committee.

And in these years, there are people behind Mayor Jiang.
