Chapter 603 You're in Trouble

The speed of reclaiming wasteland exceeded Ji Yuanhai's expectations.

Just a few days later, Zhou Heng and Wang Fendou reported to Ji Yuanhai that they had more than 1,000 mu of flat saline-alkali land in Yanwa Township and Weihe Township respectively.

After all, there were 300 people working every day in each of them. After the weeds were pulled out and burned, and the land was leveled, there was no requirement to improve the water and soil, nor was there any requirement for tillage and fertilization. The previously estimated 15 days and more than 10,000 yuan of expenditure had only been spent in more than five days and more than 4,000 yuan.

The main reason was that these lands were actually degraded arable land, and the terrain itself was relatively flat, so the work went very smoothly.

After this step, Ji Yuanhai did not expand the scale but made a report at the county meeting, explaining in detail how much the two thousand mu of newly opened land in Yanwa Township and Weihe Township had been spent so far and how much of the three million yuan of funds was left.

Xiang Chengxian, Li Sande and others listened to his detailed report, and they also knew that he came for a bright future and would not be greedy for small gains, so they did not check the accounts and ask more questions.

In fact, after hearing Ji Yuanhai's specific words, they knew with a little thought that this was really dry and there was no room for profit.

Li Sande's face was as dark as water, and he said: "Deputy County Chief Ji's 3 million special agricultural support funds have indeed begun to be used, and it seems to be a good start."

"However, I think there are still some problems in the work. I have to ask what the specific meaning of Deputy County Chief Ji's arrangement is."

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "It is also my lack of consideration. I didn't say it in detail. County Chief Li, please speak."

Since Wu Dagang took office as the director of the county government office, although he was conscientious and never showed any other ideas, Li Sande dared not use him as his confidant butler.

According to common sense, the director of the county party committee office should be Secretary Xiang's butler, assisting Secretary Xiang in handling some things initially, at the deputy division level or section level; the director of the county government office should be Li Sande's butler, at the section level, assisting Li Sande in handling some government work.

Wu Dagang, an outsider, came to this position purely to help Ji Yuanhai, which made Li Sande fearful.

It was for this reason that Li Sande had an attack on Ji Yuanhai last time, and he still doesn't get along with Ji Yuanhai. There was no other way. In order to help the executive deputy county chief, the provincial capital directly airdropped a position that naturally belonged to him. This was a direct conflict of interest.

Whether Li Sande was good-tempered or cunning, he always had to have an attitude.

Li Sande stared at Ji Yuanhai's smiling face and asked, "Deputy County Chief Ji, what are you going to do with these two thousand acres of saline-alkali land?"

"Of course it's farming." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"Who will be given the land to farm? Who will the output belong to? What crops should be cultivated on such a land that is severely salinized and cannot be cultivated by local people?" Li Sande asked.

"The land was opened up by people hired by the local township government, and part of the output certainly belongs to the local township government. As for who will be given the land to farm, what crops will be cultivated, and the distribution of the other part of the output, there are preliminary ideas in this regard." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"Deputy County Magistrate Ji, what is your specific idea? Can you introduce it to everyone?" Xiang Chengxian asked with a smile.

Ji Yuanhai looked at Xiang Chengxian, Li Sande and others, and nodded: "This is my initial consideration."

"In other provinces and cities, the land is handed over to foreign investment companies to build shopping malls and high-rise buildings, and to build factories. The local government holds a certain investment share and ownership. This is a common form at present."

"In this case, our Wangtan County may also use the same method to attract a foreign investment company to do similar things."

Li Sande immediately reminded: "Deputy County Magistrate Ji, what you said is inconsistent. Since you are going to take out 2,000 acres of land and hand it over to foreign companies to operate and build factories, buildings, etc., how can you tell everyone that you are going to cultivate this land and say that you already have a plan?"

"Could it be that the plan you said before and what you said later are two different ways, and you are considering both ways?"

"No, County Magistrate Li." Ji Yuanhai smiled and shook his head slightly, still looking confident, which made Li Sande secretly angry.

It was obvious that the two of them didn't get along with each other, so Ji Yuanhai would not be respectful to County Magistrate Li except for normal communication, and sometimes he even looked rude.

Ji Yuanhai continued, "What I said just now has a plan, and what I said later is actually the same, and it is not contradictory."

"No one stipulates that foreign companies must invest in factories. I found a foreign company that is not very interested in factory production, but is mainly engaged in improving some varieties of agricultural production. In other words, if they come to invest in our Wangtan County, then the two thousand acres of land will only be used for agricultural production."

"In this way, the crops cultivated on the two thousand acres of saline-alkali land, the output of the crops, and who will be assigned to cultivate the land, aren't all the answers available?"

Ji Yuanhai's voice fell, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Some people looked at him with admiration, some frowned, looking a little unhappy, and some people had complicated expressions and fell into thinking.

After a while, Li Sande spoke up, breaking the silence: "Deputy County Chief Ji has considered it very well. In this case, I will not ask any more questions."

"This matter, everything is left to you."

Following Li Sande, three people also expressed their opinions, all with the same meaning.

In the following matter, Ji Yuanhai will be responsible for everything. They are very happy to see it, and they will definitely not know about it and will not ask about it.

Ji Yuanhai heard that they divided it so clearly, and he knew what they were thinking. They thought that Ji Yuanhai would definitely fail and might cause trouble.

Because no one wanted to be involved in this trouble, they all made such a statement.

Xiang Chengxian looked at Ji Yuanhai, with a little hesitation, and said: "Comrade Yuanhai, if you ask me, it is actually a bit inappropriate for you to do this."

"I can understand your idea of ​​wanting to do something for the people of Wangtan County, but if--"

Here, he paused and looked at Ji Yuanhai again.

He once again called Ji Yuanhai Comrade Yuanhai, which was obviously a change in attitude.

Ji Yuanhai looked calm: "But what, Secretary Xiang?" Xiang Chengxian shook his head slightly: "But if this happens, you will definitely be in trouble. Even if you are from the provincial capital, it will be difficult to solve the problem of deceiving foreign companies like this."
