life in the sky

There was a burst of shouts from brothers outside the door, and Mu Guoxing knew that it was Shi Dashan.Walking out of the side hall, Mu Guoxing saw a middle-aged man wearing a brand-name suit with a red face and a little fat, walking towards him.After carefully measuring it, I realized that this person was Shi Dashan, the grandson of Grandpa Shitou.Looking at Shi Dashan's current appearance, he looks like a nouveau riche.Mu Guoxing couldn't connect him with the original simple and honest Shi Dashan.

"Ah, brother, I hope you come back!" Shi Dashan said, running a few steps forward, holding Mu Guoxing's hand tightly, looking very enthusiastic.But Mu Guoxing always felt that Shi Dashan had a fake mask on his face.

Before Mu Guoxing could speak, Shi Dashan said again: "Brother, you don't know. Over the years, I have been thinking about your brother, and I have to go to the capital to find you several times. But I don't know Where does your family live, even if you ask those officials, they don't even know! So this matter has been delayed!"

Mu Guoxing looked at Shi Dashan in a strange way. How did he become so eloquent now, a man in the mountains who blushed when he saw strangers?

"Brother Dashan, is Old Shitou okay?"

When Shi Dashan heard Mu Guoxing mention his grandfather, the expression on his face immediately became serious, and he said slowly: "Brother, my grandfather passed away last year. He lived a full one hundred and eight years old. In our place No one from ten miles and eight villages can live to such an old age, thanks to the wine left by the old fairy grandpa! When he finished the last glass, he urged us to give him Prepare for the funeral, when he was leaving, he was still chanting your name!"

Mu Guoxing remembered what happened when he was a child. Whenever the old fairy grandfather went to the mountains to collect herbs, he would leave him at the old stone grandfather's house.Whenever there is a mouthful of delicious food at home, Grandpa Shitou will hide it for him.

Seeing Mu Guoxing's sad look, Shi Dashan persuaded him: "Brother, you don't have to be sad. He has lived to such an old age. According to our customs, it is also a happy funeral."

Mu Guoxing nodded, without saying anything else, he took Shi Dashan to the front of the main hall, pointed to the statue next to the old fairy grandfather and asked, "Brother Dashan, what's going on?"

"Hey, tell me about this. This is the hall built by the whole village to raise funds for the old god to build a statue! When the old god was here, how many lives of the villagers were saved! A good person like him , shouldn’t we make a statue of him to commemorate him?”

"Brother Dashan, I'm not talking about this, I'm just asking what happened to the statue next to it?"

Shi Dashan smiled: "Brother, don't you ask the question knowingly? That person is you!"

Mu Guoxing sighed and said: "Brother Dashan, do you know that you are harming me? I am a government official and a party cadre. It is a very serious mistake to take the lead in engaging in feudal superstition and to build a monument for myself. If this news gets out, how can I continue to work? Listen to me, you should tear down the statue you have erected for me, and besides, I am so young, you are not afraid of ruining my life!"

Shi Dashan looked at Mu Guoxing a little strangely: "Brother, why do you speak exactly the same as the dog official Lu Cunbiao in our county? He also opposed us to build your statue. Since you said so, then We'll just tear him down."

Hearing Shi Dashan talk about Lu Cunbiao, Mu Guoxing's heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Dashan, do you have any conflicts with Secretary Lu?"

"Brother, even if you don't ask me today, I'll have a good talk with you. If Li Mingzhi, secretary of the municipal party committee, hadn't given me the work the year before last, I really wanted to go to the capital to ask you to comment on this truth! That dog official thinks it's a fool." A deputy mayor is amazing, and he still wants the police to arrest me? Ah, bah, scare his guts out. He didn't think about it. My brother's family is a high-ranking official in the capital. What kind of official is he, he dares to arrest me!"

When Mu Guoxing heard this, he felt that something was wrong. It must not be a trivial matter for a deputy mayor to use the police to arrest people.

"Brother Dashan, what's going on? Let's sit here and talk slowly!"

Mu Guoxing pulled Shi Dashan to the bench and sat down, then said: "Tell me the whole story carefully, what's going on?"

After hearing this, Shi Dashan nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's still my brother, I know how to love your brother. This matter starts with the winery in our village! We built that winery at that time to solve the problem. Is it difficult for the villagers to sell grain? The winery must first collect the grain from our village before it can receive grain from other villages and towns. Was that the case at the time?"

Mu Guoxing nodded: "That's right! It was decided that way at the time. After the grain harvest in our village is finished, the county grain bureau will purchase grain from other towns as planned. Is there any problem here?"

Shi Dashan patted his thigh and said, "That's the problem. Think about it, since the establishment of this winery in our village, the bachelors have married new wives for many years, and there have been no visits for many years. The relatives have also come to recognize their relatives. You said that these are all relatives, so you have to take care of them, right?"

Mu Guoxing didn't say a word. He knew that in the countryside, relatives are connected with relatives, and the seven aunts and eight aunts can't be separated. If you talk about it, even a county may be related to some relatives.

"Three years ago, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and every family had a lot of food. The county grain bureau still followed the old way. It first allocated the surplus grain in our village, and then distributed the remaining grain quota to other towns. However, the grain quotas allocated by other townships are simply not enough. The relatives in our village came to our door and asked me, the village head, to help me, go to the winery and talk about it, and treat the grain of these relatives as our village The grain has been harvested."

"However, a deputy director of the County Grain Bureau who is in charge of helping to transport the grain at the winery does not agree with anything, and must implement the bullshit contract set by the County Grain Bureau. Isn't this clearly looking down on the people in our Qingshi Village? ? The winery we built, why should we not count it? Why do you have to listen to that shit food bureau!"

Hearing this, Mu Guoxing understood a little bit, and when he saw the wineries in our village at the mouth of Shi Dashan, he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart.He concluded that Shi Dashan must have been the village head of Qingshi Village, bragging in front of his relatives, and thinking of the winery's request to increase the grain harvest quota, he had a conflict with the people from the County Grain Bureau.

Mu Guoxing asked calmly, "What happened next?"

Shi Dashan was also blunt: "Later, I saw that the bullshit director of the grain bureau just didn't agree, and I got angry too. When I went back to the village and talked to the villagers, everyone went to the winery to kill the bullshit director and the people from the grain bureau. They were all kicked out, and people from our village were sent to guard the gate. Since then, no grain sent without a note from our village committee will be allowed to enter the factory!"

Only then did Mu Guoxing understand that on the way he saw two people with red armbands standing at the entrance of the winery, it seemed that they were the people sent by Qingshi Village to inspect the vehicles.

"That's it, it won't let a deputy mayor send the police to arrest you?"

When Shi Dashan heard Mu Guoxing's question, he smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head. Only then did Mu Guoxing see that there was still a little of the original simplicity of a farmer in him.

"You are my own brother, and I won't hide it from you. There are a few stunned youths in our village. When they drove the people from the Grain Bureau out of the winery, they fought with them. But they didn't beat them too hard. , As a result, the director of the food bureau and a section chief heard that they were seriously injured and lay in the hospital for more than three months. Why do you think these officials are so ungrateful? With a shovel, I lightly patted the head of the Food Bureau on the back, how could he be seriously injured, isn’t this blackmailing people?”

When Shi Dashan said this, he carefully looked at Mu Guoxing's face, and found that Mu Guoxing's face hadn't changed, so he felt relieved and continued: "Later, those people from the Food Bureau called the police, and the police from the police station Lao Hu brought people here. Even if he knew the level and depth, he didn't dare to do anything to us, he just sent those people from the food bureau to the hospital, and it was over."

Mu Guoxing suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Aren't these police officers sent by the deputy mayor? Did you just say that the deputy mayor sent the police to arrest you?"

Shi Dashan laughed loudly: "Brother, you are also an official, and you should know some rules of being an official. That old Hu dare not do anything to us, but he will report to his superiors. The next morning, it turned out that The dog official Lu Cunbiao, who was the secretary of the county party committee in our county and is now the deputy mayor, came with a dozen policemen with shields and guns. Let our village hand over the murderer. Think about it, brother Your whole family is a high-ranking official in the capital. If someone in our village is caught in a big prison, you will lose face, won't you? Besides, we can't afford to lose that person! So all the men, women and children in the village copied the guy Fucked with those policemen! Those policemen don’t look like they have guns, but they only dare to shoot them into the sky, but none of them dare to hold fire at people!” They didn’t even let the police enter the village, nor let them arrest anyone. After the dog officer Lu Cunbiao answered the phone, he led the police to leave in a desperate manner. Later, I heard that the provincial government had originally I want that dog official to be the mayor, and he will be a fart if he does this! Since then, no one in the county has dared to take care of our affairs."

Hearing this, Mu Guoxing felt that the matter was serious. First, he injured a government official, and second, he made huge profits and resisted the law. Neither of the crimes is light.If I hadn't actually come here, I really wouldn't have known that such a serious thing had happened here.But why did Zhao Decun never talk about this matter?This time the inspection team came to inspect, why did the Hexi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government not mention this matter?Is there something tricky hidden in it?

Text Chapter 853 Everything Has Changed

Looking at the triumphant Shi Dashan who was sitting next to him, Mu Guoxing couldn't help feeling a kind of sadness from the bottom of his heart.Where did the amiable, honest and honest brother Dashan go when he was a child?Why do these rich peasants do such lawless things?

Mu Guoxing restrained the anger in his heart, and said to Shi Dashan in a calm tone as much as possible: "Brother Dashan, you are not doing very well in this matter! One of the people I recruited to invest in the construction of the winery The purpose is to solve the problem of the difficulty of selling grain for the villagers, so that the villagers can get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. Since there was an agreement on the purchase of grain at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, how can you take the lead in breaking this agreement at will? The Grain Bureau according to According to the previous agreement, all the grain in our village has been purchased, and then distributed to other towns and towns according to the plan, what they did is not wrong!"

Shi Dashan looked at Mu Guoxing strangely: "Brother, the tone of your speech is exactly the same as those of the food bureau. Shouldn't the relatives in our village take care of them? Or, why don't we build this winery?" What's the use? Why should the people from the county grain bureau intervene in the collection of grain by the winery in our village? They charge a penny for every catty of grain purchased from the winery. Why should the money be made for nothing? Pick."

Mu Guoxing understood that this was another interest relationship. When the factory was first built, in order to benefit the people, the purchase price of every catty of grain in the winery was five cents higher than the national protection price.The distillery handed over a penny to the Grain Bureau as a handling fee, also to support the construction of the local government.It must be that the people in Qingshi Village were jealous when they saw the money, and this was the real reason why they drove the grain bureau away.

"Brother Dashan, then you didn't charge any handling fees for helping your relatives?"

"Accept, why don't you accept it? Brothers have to settle accounts. In recent years, the grain harvest has been bumper, and there is no place to sell the grain in the hands of farmers. The minimum purchase price stipulated by the state cannot be implemented at all. The grain on the market is cheaper than The minimum purchase price in the country is three to five cents lower, so we purchased all the food from these relatives at the purchase price of the state, so that they can take advantage of it!"

"That is to say, you collect grain from your relatives at the lowest national purchase price, and then sell it to the winery at five cents per catty higher than the national protection price. Is that true?"

Shi Dashan smiled happily: "Oh, brother, you are worthy of being a university student, you are highly educated! This method was figured out by these people in our village after thinking about it for seven or eight days. You will understand as soon as I say it. Already!"

Mu Guoxing was stunned. Shuanglong Distillery consumes tens of millions of catties of grain a year, and Qingshi Village earns a huge profit every year just by controlling the grain purchase process.No wonder the people in the village are so rich, and every family has built small western-style buildings!However, their wealth is based on harming the interests of the surrounding farmers, and they put the part of the money that the winery gave to benefit the people into their own pockets.

"In this way, the money you earn in Qingshi Village in a year is not a small number. With this money, the people in the village can eat delicious food and drink spicy food as long as they sit at home, and they don't have to go to the factory to work It's gone!"

"Hey, let me tell you again, the people in our village have stopped working in the factory a long time ago, and they have found their own relatives to replace them!"

"Then let them replace them for nothing? The wages in the winery are so high, isn't it cheaper for those people?"

Shi Dashan smiled slyly: "Brother, how can there be such a cheap thing? Don't we all pay attention to the market economy now? If we don't go to work, we will find someone to replace it, and negotiate a good price with them. When the time comes, we will pay the wages." Take it and send it to them, usually give them half of their salary!"

"It seems that you came up with this method again?"

Shi Dashan didn't notice that Mu Guoxing's name had changed, from our village to your Qingshi Village, and said with a smile: "Yes, as the village chief, I should seek some benefits for the villagers, right? ?”

After hearing this, Mu Guoxing didn't talk to him anymore, and reached out to recruit his apprentices.

"Go and remove the statue next to the old fairy! Be careful, don't damage the statue of the old fairy!"

Shi Dashan said puzzledly: "Brother, won't it be all right if I find a few people to come over and tear him down later? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hey, I can't be in a hurry! I'm afraid that you'll find someone to demolish him later, and then ask me for a demolition fee. Wouldn't I be wronged!"

"How can we! We are all brothers in our own family. If we ask for money from anyone, we can't ask you for money. Besides, the winery you built for our village has made our village rich. We feel very sad if we don't give you money. I'm sorry for you. Let's go, it's getting late, I have already told the people in the village that a welcome banquet will be held for you at the village committee tonight, let's have a good drink! Hey, I But let me tell you, the village has changed a lot now, and it will never be the same as when you came back last time, sitting on the ground to eat!"

"I really believe what you said. You have earned so much money, you should show off. Let me tell you, this is the last time I come back in my life. If you still treat me as a brother, just listen to me In a word, bring those who injured the cadres of the Grain Bureau in the village to the Public Security Bureau to surrender themselves, and strive for lenient punishment. Withdraw the people guarding the entrance of the winery, and return the right to purchase grain to the Shuangshan County Grain Bureau. In addition, they can Those who go to work in the winery should go to work by themselves, and if they really can’t go, go to the factory and quit their jobs, so that the winery can recruit another person!”

Shi Dashan thought he heard it wrong, but although Mu Guoxing's voice was not loud, his words were very clear.
