Halfway through two calls with Director Wan and Director Li, Wang Siyu finally understood the whole story. It turned out that at the beginning of the year, the manager of Chunhua Seed Company of Xishan County came to the Dawang Township Government to recommend their new product, "Xinong No. 5" potatoes. The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and the township officials came to work in various villages and towns to encourage farmers in the village to plant this new type of potato. Chunhua Seed Company was responsible for providing seeds, fertilizers and technical support, and recycling them at the minimum protection price of 0.8 yuan per kilogram.

This was a good thing, with the guarantee of the township government, and the black and white text on the contract, and the price was fair. This year, nearly a thousand farmers in Dawang Township planted the "Xinong No. 5" potatoes. The area of ​​potatoes they planted is as large as 13 or 4 acres, and at least as small as 5 or 6 acres. According to statistics, Chunhua Seed Company sold as many as 287,000 kilograms of potato seeds to farmers in Dawang Township, with a seed value of 268,000 yuan. Last month, when it came to harvesting potatoes, the company refused to accept them under various excuses. What made the farmers even more angry was that the "Xinong No. 5" potatoes they planted in accordance with the contract were not in the West China, and even those vegetable dealers refused to collect them, and the direct economic losses were probably more than one million yuan.

The villagers went to the county town to find the company to argue, but found that the building was empty. They were disappointed and had to go to the township government to seek justice, because they followed the call of the township government and signed a contract with Chunhua Seed Company. In their opinion, the township government has the responsibility to help them recover the losses in this matter. However, after several times, the township chief Mao Hsinchu sent them back under various excuses and summoned more than a dozen village chiefs of Dawang Township to hold a meeting. These potatoes can be eaten by themselves if they can't be sold, and people can feed them if they can't eat them. Forget this matter, no one should make any unreasonable trouble.

The conflict intensified in the morning. More than a dozen farmers came to the township government to argue and had a dispute with the township government staff. Finally, the two sides fought. The township chief Mao Hsinchu called Director Liu and asked him to take the police and security officers to arrest these people. Unexpectedly, this made a big fuss. In less than half a day, hundreds of people came from nearby villages one after another. People who were out of control successively smashed the township government and police stations, and tied the township party secretary and township chief to the basketball rack of the playground of Xingfu Primary School in Dawang Township, making the matter a little out of control.

After Wang Siyu understood this situation, he felt that this was a typical mass incident caused by a farmer trap. In this matter, the township government must have a responsibility. If the problem is solved smoothly, it is necessary to find the Chunhua Seed Company, let them fulfill their contractual responsibilities and return the debt to the villagers of Dawang Township. Only in this way can the matter be resolved successfully. However, since the whereabouts of the company are unknown, the government department should now take responsibility and calm the situation down first.

After thinking about it, Wang Siyu called the county party secretary Qian Yunong and county magistrate Cao Fengyang, briefly explained the situation, and suggested that the county finance first allocate funds to advance part of the potato purchase funds, first solve the livelihood problems of the victimized farmers, stabilize the farmers' emotions, and at the same time, let the public security organs investigate the whereabouts of the boss of Chunhua Seed Company, strive to recover the losses, and immediately informed the townships of the townships and asked them to check whether there were similar situations to avoid such incidents again. Both of them agreed, and county magistrate Cao Fengyang immediately called the leaders of the Finance Bureau and ordered him to handle the matters specially, and seize the time to transfer the funds to Dawang Township.

After arriving at Sanchakou, four police cars were parked on the side of the road. Wang Siyu did not get out of the car, but just opened the window, greeted Deputy County Mayor Rongkai and Director Wan, and led the convoy to Dawang Township. Along the way, Wang Siyu was worried, fearing that something would cause a big mess before he arrived, and it would be difficult to deal with it.

The car drove on the road for nearly an hour and finally arrived at Dawang Township. He stopped at the entrance of Xingfu Primary School. He saw hundreds of people crowding in the playground inside. On noon, some people were sitting and some standing. Many people were still holding hoes and shovels in their hands, and they were talking a lot. The two township leaders had been loosened and surrounded by groups, arguing loudly with several people around him. It turned out that the farmers who were causing trouble calmed down and felt that the matter was too big and they didn't know how to end. As soon as the police car arrived, they were already a little scared, and some timid people slipped away quietly along the wall.

Director Wan and others protected Wang Siyu, separated the messy crowd, and walked inside. Deputy County Mayor Rong Kai shouted loudly: "Everyone, calm down. I am Deputy County Mayor Rong Kai. The county attaches great importance to this matter and specially entrusted Secretary Wang of the County Party Committee to handle this matter. Now I want Secretary Wang to speak."

At this time, there were brave people around him, waved the hoe in his hand, and shouted loudly: "No one can come, it's useless, it won't work if you don't give money!"

Wang Siyu smiled, pointed at the farmer, and shouted: "Why did you poke the hoe into the sky? Do you think the hole is not big enough?"

When everyone heard his interesting words, they couldn't help laughing. The farmer put his hoe on the ground, took off the hat on his head, and fanned the wind and said angrily: "As long as the potatoes can be sold, I will wrap the glass of the township government."

Wang Siyu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's agree. I'll be responsible for helping everyone sell the potatoes. You are responsible for compensating the smashed public property, not only from the township government, but also from the police station."

At this time, everyone laughed and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The farmer stuck out his tongue and walked to the distance with a hoe, not daring to talk to him anymore.

Wang Siyu withdrew his gaze, smiled and swept to everyone around him, and waved: "I am now expressing my opinion on behalf of the county party committee and county government, First, we will seriously investigate and deal with this incident of cheating and harming farmers to ensure that everyone's interests are not infringed. Second, before we find the boss of Chunhua Seed Company, the county will advance part of the money as soon as possible to ensure that everyone's lives can be maintained. Third, if the company cannot be contacted or if the lawsuit is lost, the county will purchase these potatoes and will not cause losses to the farmers. Fourth, your behavior today is too impulsive and you have done irrational behavior, which is unforgivable, but we will not blame this time, just not as an example. If there are any similar incidents, we will deal with them strictly and severely."

After the words were finished, the people around him applauded. Wang Siyu raised his hand and interrupted the applause and smiled and said, "Although I have said that I will not blame you, I still have to compensate for the broken official duties. But now everyone has only potatoes but no money. What should I do? Each person will give a basket of potatoes to the township government. I suggest that the township leaders eat more potatoes in the second half of the year to take it as a warning. In their future work, don't make such omissions, so that the scam company can take advantage of loopholes."

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter. The two township leaders looked very embarrassed, both of them red and white. But when things got so hard, they could not escape the blame. Even if Wang Siyu said it a little ugly, both of them could only accept it. They just hoped that they could save their positions after this incident, but they were a little unsure. They had to look at Secretary Wang's young face. As everyone clapped, the township chief Mao Hsinchu muttered softly, "It's good to eat potatoes, it's good to eat potatoes."

Rong Kai and Director Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better to be able to solve this problem, otherwise they would not know what would happen. In the countryside, these villagers have always believed in the law and did not blame the public. If everyone is forced to make people anxious, they might cause even greater trouble. If the conflicts intensify repeatedly, it will inevitably be a situation of both jade and stone burning. Even if the farmers who take the lead will be dealt with, the party and government team in Xishan County will not be able to escape from the relationship and will be implicated.

The farmers dispersed one after another, and Wang Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no big deal. He reported the situation to Secretary Qian and County Magistrate Cao, and then turned to Chen Fugui, the secretary of the township party committee, and Mao Hsinchu, the township chief, said: "Let's go, go to have dinner first. I'll treat you to the two of you."

Chen Fugui hurriedly said, "Secretary Wang, we should apologize for our sins. We should invite you for lunch."

Mao Hsinchu also echoed next to him: "Secretary Wang, we have not done our job well and have caused trouble for the leaders. We will come to my house for lunch and report the whole story carefully to Secretary Wang. We have a lot of difficulties."

Wang Siyu smiled and said to Rongkai and Wan Lifei: "Let's go, let's go to Mao Township Chief's house to recall the bitterness and sweetness."

Rong Kai laughed and nodded and said yes. Wan Lifei was in a hurry to go back to the county. In the past few days, two cases of robbery have not been solved, which made him restless. He then beat him up and said, "Secretary Wang, I will go back to the county first. Take the time to organize manpower, find out the boss of Chunhua Seed Company as soon as possible, and give the farmers an explanation as soon as possible."

Wang Siyu nodded and said, "Then you guys go back first."

Everyone surrounded and walked towards the entrance of the primary school. Wan Lifei brought three police cars back, leaving one to be responsible for security. Although Wang Siyu refused repeatedly, Wan Lifei was still afraid of an accident and insisted on doing so. Wang Siyu had to obey his wishes and took seven or eight people to Mao Hsinchu's house.

Mao Hsinchu's house has four brick and tile houses, and the yard is very spacious. A pot of water is burning on the solar water heater. When everyone entered the house, they found that four women were sitting at the table playing mahjong. Mao Hsinchu was almost happy. He was tied up and paraded in the morning, but his wife was as stable as Mount Tai at home, and he refused to even get off the mahjong table. If Wang Siyu and others were not present, he would have turned over the table and beat his wife violently. But at this time, he could not do so, so he laughed: "Old woman, stop beating. Secretary Wang and County Mayor Rong are here. Why don't you go and clean up the food."

At this time, several women stopped the cards in their hands, put the banknotes on the table, and hurriedly went outside to arrange food. Wang Siyu and others sat at the table and started playing. Naturally, the leader was highlighted on the mahjong table. With everyone's intentional concessions, Wang Siyu was surprisingly lucky. In less than half an hour, he won more than 700 yuan. In the end, he took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and threw it into the pile of money, threw the money to Mao Hsinchu, and said with a smile: "You are responsible for sending this money to the extremely poor households in the village."

Mao Hsinchu was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhong Jiaqun standing behind Wang Siyu winking at him. He nodded quickly and agreed. Everyone drank tea in the room and went to the yard outside to have a meal. Mao Hsinchu's wife made a table of dishes, fried eggs with garlic, fried pork with green peppers, fried bacon with bitter melon, braised carp, and a dish of stewed local chicken soup. The farm meals were indeed delicious. Wang Siyu praised it. The jar of pure grain wine also tasted extremely mellow and had a great taste.

After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Mao Hsinchu began to complain about the bitterness. It turned out that the Chunhua Seed Company had a background, and several cadres from the county agricultural bureau all had shares in that company. Moreover, when the manager of Chunhua Seed Company promised that as long as they used their seeds, they would invest 50,000 yuan to help the village build a rural science and technology reading room to ensure that they could go to the news of Yuzhou TV. He and Secretary Chen Fugui thought this was a great thing, so he agreed immediately, but unexpectedly fell into the trap.

Wang Siyu put down his wine glass and his face became serious. He said with concern: "I wonder how many people they used this trick to deceive!"

For a moment, the table was silent. After a while, Wang Siyu sighed and said in a deep voice: "You must do the work of the masses these days. If you should apologize, you must apologize. If you make a mistake, you can only trust you. You have to save face and suffer almost causing big trouble. Why did you come to the county to deal with this matter in the end, you two must learn from the lessons and must not make such mistakes again."
