Wang Defu's words made the situation tense again.
The village heads were secretly shocked.
Wang Defu is indeed an old fox who is good at playing power games.
This is not a conspiracy, but an open and aboveboard plot.
You, Chen Jianan, are a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers. How dare you confront me?
good!
Then I will also let you know what it means to kill someone with a soft knife.
As the deputy leader, Wang Defu can use his power to suppress you openly.
Are you convinced?
Sun Shengli frowned beside him.
He asked himself, this dilemma is not easy for him to deal with.
Can Chen Jianan, this shaggy boy, catch it?
Xu Peiyun, who was sitting at the podium, also began to worry.
She didn't expect that the conflict between Chen Jianan and Wang Defu would become so serious.
Although his own identity is detached.
But it doesn't mean that you can override the organization.
In Hongqi Town, Wang Defu is the top leader.
Even though she knew that Tang Shenghuai was dissatisfied with Wang Defu and wanted to replace him.
But after all, it hasn't been changed yet.
Wang Defu now has the power to punish Chen Jianan.
She could only worry secretly but could not help.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Jianan slowly stood up.
He immediately became the focus of the audience again.
"Actually, I came here today just to talk about this matter."
"Since Your Majesty has asked, I will take this opportunity to make a statement."
"We in Xiaoheyan Village will definitely pay enough grain according to the rules."
"but……"
He paused.
It brought everyone's curiosity to a peak.
"Brother Chen, but what?"
Sun Shengli seemed to have noticed something, his expression suddenly changed and he asked.
"But I won't hand over the excess amount anymore!"
"After paying the required amount of grain in our village, the remaining grain will be kept for the village's use."
As Chen Jianan spoke, his eyes were always fixed on Wang Defu.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Defu's face changed drastically.
Even the village heads who had been restraining themselves suddenly became noisy and started discussing.
We will set a standard based on the situation of each village.
Xiaoheyan Village has 1,000 mu of arable land, with an average yield of 700 kilograms per mu.
The standard set by the government is to hand over half of it, which is 1.7 million kilograms.
But in order to get promoted, Zhou Huanghe handed over 200,000 kilograms of grain for two consecutive years!
There were only 100,000 catties of grain left in the village, with more than 2,000 people, and each person had less than 400 catties of grain per year.
This does not even include the cost.
If we remove the costs and then remove all the expenses in the village.
On average, each person only has half a pound of food per day.
If you get sick or something happens to you, you have to live off your savings.
After working hard all year round, I not only don’t make any money, but I can’t even eat enough.
Who is still in the mood to work hard?
It can be said that the hard life of the villagers in Xiaoheyan Village was caused by Zhou Huanghe and Wang Defu working together to suck their blood!
Chen Jianan is different from Zhou Huanghe.
He doesn't need to curry favor with Wang Defu.
So, you have to pay what you owe.
I won’t give you even a pound of what you shouldn’t pay!
"Chen Jianan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"How dare you not pay the grain? This is a confrontation with the organization!"
Wang Defu stood up suddenly and pointed a finger at Chen Jianan's nose.
Everyone around was shocked. It was the first time in all these years that they saw Wang Defu lose his composure like this.
"Don't make random accusations. I didn't say I wouldn't pay the rations. I said I wouldn't pay the excess!"
"Zhou Huanghe can go against his conscience and use the villagers' blood and sweat to curry your favor, but I won't!"
Chen Jianan directly retorted.
"presumptuous!"
"Is this what you, a village chief, should say?"
"Zhou Huanghe..."
When Wang Defu was about to say this, he realized that Zhou Huanghe had been arrested.
no way.
I could only swallow my words again.
At this moment, the momentum weakened.
"Director, this year our Dawa Village will only pay the share that should be paid, and will not pay any more."
Sun Shengli, who was sitting next to Chen Jianan, also stood up at this time.
When he heard what Chen Jianan said just now, his heart became lively.
In previous years, under the heavy pressure of Wang Defu, each village not only had to complete the quota of grain, but also had to hand in extra grain.
Part of this extra grain was considered Wang Defu's achievement, while part of it went into his personal pocket.
All the villages were overwhelmed.
In the past, Wang Defu, the old fox, had a firm grip on the situation, and Sun Shengli did not dare to resist.
But now, the opportunity has come!
With Chen Jianan taking the lead, he immediately followed suit.
"We in Xiaowa Village don't pay extra grain either."
Lao Feng stood up.
"Qiangang Village won't hand it over either!"
Zheng Jun stood up.
"We won't hand it over either!"
All the village chiefs present stood up, and the chairs clattered.
“You…you…”
Wang Defu's face turned from black to red, and then from red to pale.
He never thought that the Hongmen Banquet was originally aimed at Chen Jianan.
It turned into a meeting of village chiefs to force the emperor to abdicate!
In fact, the village heads have long hated overpaying taxes.
In the past, it was led by Zhou Huanghe, the second-in-command, with Wang Defu hiding behind the scenes and exerting pressure.
They have no choice.
Now that they have the opportunity, they have risen up in resistance.
The party cadres on the podium looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is the first time I have seen such a scene.
Wang Defu not only failed to discipline Chen Jianan, but also lost all the excess grain in the village. He really lost more than he gained.
"Well, all of you, why don't you learn from this kind of scum!"
Wang Defu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He glanced at everyone sternly.
However, the village heads did not retreat as they did in the past.
They all stood there with their necks stiffened.
Wang Defu knew that if he continued to hold on, it would only cause greater damage to his reputation.
"Okay, you can make friends or not."
"Anyway, handing over the excess grain is a voluntary act."
He waved his hand.
Seeing that Wang Defu had finally given in.
The village chiefs achieved their goal and were delighted.
They looked at each other and sat down.
I went to this meeting with the intention of watching the fun, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.
After taking control of the situation, Wang Defu looked at Chen Jianan, the culprit, again.
Chen Jianan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if mocking or disdainful.
Wang Defu's face froze again.
"Chen Jianan, you don't have to pay the extra rations, but I want to make it clear in advance."
"Xiaoheyan Village ranked second in the entire city last year."
"If it falls in your hands, I won't agree!"
"When the time comes, you can resign on your own initiative."
Wang Defu's voice was full of coldness.
You don't have to pay me more food than the quota.
But the village’s grain production cannot be falsified.
Last year, the per-acre yield of Xiaoheyan Village was lower than that of Dawa Village, but it had a larger total arable land area.
So the overall ranking is second.
This year, Chen Jianan established a construction team and a Huangcaotan development team, mobilizing nearly half of the labor force.
Wang Defu just didn’t believe that the grain output in Xiaoheyan Village would not decrease.
"Captain Wang, what if our village's ranking doesn't drop?"
Chen Jianan looked at him with burning eyes and asked back.
"Haha, if it hadn't dropped, wouldn't you have been number one?"
"Then I'll give you the certificate myself!"
Wang Defu sneered.
In his opinion, Chen Jianan was just being stubborn.
"Okay, it's a deal."
A gleam of light flashed in Chen Jianan's eyes.
