But she still maintained her composure and said with a smile, "Secretary Yang is right. With Longjian Group taking root in our township, it won't be long before our township becomes the largest tax-collecting township in the county. With the money, the whole township will have a brand new look, and good days will soon come for the people."
Yang Ping laughed secretly. What she said was really high-sounding. Long Jian took root in Weishui Township because of Li Lin. How could it have anything to do with you? It's as if you were the one who brought him here. You really know how to flatter yourself.
She looked down on Yuan Meng, a relative, more and more. Although she was also a relative, she had climbed up step by step from the grassroots. Cadres who came from the grassroots often looked down on leaders who were parachuted in.
Yang Ping has already given Yuan Meng enough face. If it were those more established party committee secretaries, they would only accompany her, the new deputy county magistrate, for one day at most and would find an excuse not to accompany her after that.
Getting to the point, Yuan Meng continued to ask the old man, "I would like to ask, how big is the scale of the tea trees in our village? How many trees can be harvested and supplied to the market now? How many people are skilled in tea making?"
In fact, the village has already reported this issue to her.
But she insisted on going to the households to ask again, no, to be more precise, to ask several more times. Because when she was working in the province, she often heard that the cadres at the village and township levels were the best at dealing with inspections from higher authorities, and every time the villagers answered questions, they had already explained them in advance. If she didn't ask several more households, she was afraid that she would get false data.
Seeing that Yuan Meng was still struggling with this question, the village secretary lowered his head in shame, thinking, haven't we already said that? There are only a few trees in the village that can be picked, and the rest are undeveloped wild tea trees, all over the mountains... You still don't believe what the villagers said?
The old man first glanced at the village party secretary, and seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, he smiled and replied, "The tea that can be picked is only from the trees at the foot of the mountain. It is not convenient to pick tea at ordinary times, and there is only one tree that is really delicious... The fame of our village is brought by that one tea tree. After all, things are precious because they are rare. As for how many tea trees there are on the mountain, no one has counted them, because the terrain is complicated, and the big trees cover the small trees. It is difficult for people to climb up... let alone pick tea."
Yuan Meng listened carefully and nodded continuously, not knowing what he was thinking.
After coming out of the farmer's house, Yuan Meng said to Yang Ping, "Secretary Yang, take me to the tea mountain to have a look."
Yang Ping did not refuse, but told the village party secretary, "Old Li, take Deputy County Chief Yuan over first, I'll be there soon."
The village party secretary led the way, taking Yuan Meng and his group to the foot of the mountain.
Yang Ping walked to a deserted place, took out her cell phone and called Li Lin.
"County Magistrate Li, is it true that our province is unable to spare anyone to be sent down? Why did you send a student girl to be the deputy county magistrate? As a county magistrate, you don't even know how to give suggestions to the leaders? I am really impressed..."
There was a lot of resentment in her words.
