Liang Jinming lit a cigarette.
The smoke dispersed with the wind. He looked extremely pretentious.
âDidnât you have a fight with my Brother Lin? We brought our people here to settle it.â
âBrother Lin?â
Suddenly, Cheng Laowu had a bad premonition.
âBy Brother Lin, are you talking about Lin Yi?â
âSo, youâre not stupid.â
Hiss!
âHow is that possible?!â Cheng Laowu said.
âHeâs just a small-time government director. How can he know you people?!â
âAre you f*cking stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Do you really think my Brother Lin is just a government office director? Hahaâ¦â
The rich second-generation heirs who came along laughed out loud as if they were looking at a retard.
âTo tell you the truth, 1 just learned about your situation.â Liang Jinming said.
âYouâre a big shot in Donsan County, but unfortunately, let me tell you, the role Lin Yi plays in Zhonghai is similar to yours. He has connections everywhere â official, military, both overt and covert. Now you should understand that youâve crossed paths with the wrong person, right?â
Thump!
Cheng Laowu slumped to the ground. His face was pale and he could not even speak.
Putting aside whether this person was telling the truth or not, there were at least 500 people in the cars behind!
If they fought, he had no chance of winning!
âLin⦠where did Lin Yi go? Why, why didnât he come over himselfâ¦â Cheng Laowu stuttered.
âDonât you know what kind of trash you are? Does he need to deal with people like you himself? Youâre overvaluing yourself.â
âBrother, letâs talk things out.â Cheng Laowu calmed down and said.
â1-1 admit defeat. Letâs not fight. I know the leaders of the county. Why donât we forget about this matter? Iâll find a restaurant to set up a meal later. Letâs see each other often.â
âIâm in Zhonghai, and youâre in Dongsan County. How often can we meet?â
âAlso, you said that you know someone from the county. It should be that person called Dong Qiusheng, right?â
âHuh? You know of this?â Cheng Laowu was surprised. âDo you know each other?â
Cheng Laowu was delighted. If they knew each other, this matter would be even easier to handle.
âKnow my *ss,â Liang Jinming said. âItâs already past noon, so heâs probably already been taken away. Donât count on him.â
âWhat did you say?!
âHas he been taken away?!â
âWhat else could it be?â Liang Jinming said.
âWith Brother Linâs methods, even if all of you attack together, you wonât be a match for him. The reason why he gathered all of you here is to get rid of all of you in one go. If you canât even see through these tricks, how did you get to where you are today?â
âWait, he did it on purpose?â
âOf course.â Liang Jinming approached Cheng Laowu with a smile and whispered in his ear,
âMy Brother Lin has even killed someone before. How can you fight him?â
At 12:30 pm, Lin Yi and Li Sijin found a barely acceptable noodle shop and prepared to take care of lunch.
Ring ring ring!
âBrother Lin, itâs all settled.â Liang Jinming said.
âI brought more than 500 people with me and peed on him.â
âMore than 500 people? Thatâs too much fanfare.â
âYou canât do anything without a bit of showmanship.â
âAlright, 1 have something to do outside. Iâll treat you to a meal when we get back to Zhonghai.â
âForget about the food. Youâd better prepare some good girls for me.â
âThatâs even easier.â
After exchanging a few words with Liang Jinming, Lin Yi hung up.
After lunch, the two of them went to the village to do some field research.
When they returned to the county again, it was already past five in the evening.
After dinner, Lin Yi returned to the hotel. He looked at the data he had collected and reviewed it for a long time, but he couldnât figure it out.
The next morning, Lin Yi and Li Sijin arrived at the office one after another. Li Qingkai had already arrived.
âKid, youâre really lucky to have come at a time like this.â
Li Qingkai laughed when he saw Lin Yi.
âWhatâs wrong? Did you find a nice shopping deal?â
âThe two of you went out yesterday and donât know what happened in the county.â Li Qingkai said.
âYesterday, the higher-ups came and captured Cheng Laowu and his gang. His club was also sealed. You donât have to be afraid now.â
Lin Yi smiled. âSo thatâs what happened.â
âNot only that,â Li Qingkai said gossipily.
âSome corrupt leaders have also been taken away. In short, this matter has blown up quite a bit. They probably offended someone. 0then-vise, the officials wouldnât have handled this so thoroughly.â
âThatâs a good thing. The people will benefit in the end.â
âThatâs right. Dongsan County will probably be much calmer in the future.â Li Qingkai lit a cigarette and said,
âBy the way, youâve been running around outside for the past two days. Did you find anything?â
âIâve concluded that the poverty is only expected with these conditions.â
Li Qingkai laughed and looked at Li Sijin. âWhat do you think?â
âMy thoughts are similar.â Li Sijin sighed.
âThereâs no way out.â
âEven if we canât see a way out, we have to make a path.â Li Qingkai said.
âIf I leave this matter to you, what plan do you have?â
She thought for a moment and said, âIâm thinking we can follow the model of centralized operations like they do in Meiguo. Iâve already researched, and the Northeast has made great progress in this area. They have a high level of mechanization and there are templates we can learn from.â
âThis plan wonât work,â Li Qingkai replied.
âLet me give you an example. If we have 1,000 acres of land that require 100 people for cultivation, with centralized operations, maybe only 10 people are needed. What happens to the other 90 people? Should they just laze about? If we have a large number of unemployed people, the impact will be immeasurable.â
âMoreover, there are still many mountains and terraces surrounding us. Itâs impossible for us to cultivate a large area of land. These techniques only work in large open plains, like in the Northeast.â
Li Chai-Jin thought about it and nodded. She realized that her thoughts were a little shallow.
âWhat about you, Little Lin? Do you have any ideas?â
âI think we should combine internal and external approaches,â Lin Yi said.
âGo on, what does combining internal and external mean?â Li Qingkai asked with interest.
Holding the research data from the day before, Lin Yi looked at it and started explaining.
âEast San County is a bit unlucky. It has a small area, but some areas get flooded every year, while others suffer from annual droughts. The soilâs natural alkalinity is high, making it difficult to grow crops. With these issues in mind, we are looking at a minimum loss of about one-third of potential income. If we address these problems, we can increase their overall income.â
âSecondly, we can try to develop the livestock industry and raise chickens and pigs. This should also help.â
After pondering for a moment, Li Qingkai said,
âBut these are just small issues. It wonât have any decisive impact.â
Lin Yi smiled. âThatâs why we need external support..â
