Before Zhou Tianhao's butt was hot, he encountered a big thing that happened in Tianxing County.

After becoming the deputy county magistrate of Tianxing County, Zhou Tianhao participated in the county people's congress standing committee and was elected as the deputy county magistrate of Tianxing County in accordance with the legal procedures. Then, he returned to Chunshan City and stayed for only one day, and returned to Tianxing County again. At this time, the issues Zhou Tianhao was considering were the matters of Shanqian Township, including the changes in the team of the Agricultural Bureau. Although Zhao Changhe had not yet begun to solicit his opinions, these were all things in front of him. Zhou Tianhao also considered how to do agricultural work.

Unfortunately, something happened in Tianxing County before all this started to work.

Farmers are unable to farm without fertilizers. During spring farming every year, the county will issue indicators, requiring the county fertilizer plant to produce as many fertilizers and the number of indicators each township has. After determining the indicators, after the beginning of the year, from May, it will be the peak season for fertilizer sales. This situation is difficult to understand more than ten years later. At that time, the market had been completely relaxed and there would be no shortage of fertilizers.

The reason for this situation is related to the speed of economic development. At this time, almost all counties have fertilizer plants. For the sake of local protectionism, fertilizers from other places are generally not allowed to enter the local market. Some fertilizers from other places want to open up the market will be hit and intervened by the local government. What is even more strange is that the production and sales links of fertilizer plants are mainly responsible for production. As for sales issues, there is no need to worry too much, just do it. Anyway, the government issues production plans. This kind of situation has been maintained for a long time, which has also prompted fertilizer plants to rely entirely on the government.

The production situation of Tianxing County Fertilizer Plant has been affected and production fluctuates.

This situation actually has a sign of the situation. The fertilizer plant is inefficient in production and is seriously wasted. Every year, it depends on bank loans. In theory, when fertilizers are produced and sold, they can be returned to the bank loans. However, the leaders in the factory did not think about the problem of repaying the loans. The money they received is used to pay wages and do other things. There are many employees in the fertilizer plant and people are overdoing the work. In addition, production waste and management are not in place, and there is really not much money to repay the loan.

According to the requirements of national reform, banks have already taken over the side management and have been stricter in handling loans. They have said goodbye to the past model of county party committee and county government leaders saying a word and just borrowing. Because the fertilizer factory owes a lot of loans and has never returned them. Therefore, the county Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has limited the number of loans to the fertilizer factory since the beginning of the year.

The county party committee and government coordinated several times, but the results were not very good. Gradually, things were delayed. If there was no money, it became difficult to buy raw materials. But the leaders of the fertilizer factory didn't know what it was doing. They were willing to spend money when going out to take a plane or a train. They were very reluctant to pay the raw materials. The main raw material for the fertilizer factory production was coal, and the factory already owed a lot of money.

The bank's monetary tightening was not only affected by the fertilizer plants, but also the coal mines were unable to operate. Therefore, the supply of coal was also restricted when the fertilizer plants failed to arrears.

By early May, the county needed 1.5 million tons of fertilizer, which could be stored in the fertilizer plant, with less than 500,000 tons of fertilizer. The huge gap caused the supply of fertilizers.

Zhou Tianhao had just taken office and had not had time to get familiar with all the situations, so he directly faced the tension in fertilizers.

Time waits for no one, farmers need fertilizers. If spring plowing time passes, you will not have much effect even if you pile the fertilizers in the farmers' homes.

Before this, Huang Sihai, deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of agriculture, had already issued instructions to first distribute the amount of fertilizer needed by townships according to the standard of 500,000 tons. Next, the county party committee and county government coordinated to require the fertilizer plant to start production at full capacity. This method, on the surface, seems to be average, but in fact it is useless. The production capacity of the fertilizer plant is there, and even if it is fully powered, it is impossible to meet the demand. Moreover, the machinery and equipment need to be repaired. If it goes with the flow, it is still required to produce the fertilizer plant. Several departments make lawsuits, and spring farming production will be delayed.

The tension in chemical fertilizers has caused panic in Tianxing County. The cadres in the county are not clear. Anyway, they cannot farm and have wages to support them. However, farmers know that without chemical fertilizers, their harvest will be greatly affected, and they will not even have enough food to eat. Time is precious. Being able to get fertilizer early and fertilize the fields can ensure the growth of crops. In this case, conflicts will inevitably erupt.

The township is very anxious. In order to get the pitiful fertilizers in the township, the police officers of the township police station all went to the county to escort cars under the leadership of the township leaders to avoid accidents.

Something happened finally.

Yan Jiafu took the police officers of Shanqian Township Police Station and employees of the township supply and marketing cooperative to the county to escort the car. There were a total of three trucks of fertilizers. The farmers in Shanqian Township were eagerly waiting for the fertilizers.

Yan Jiafu is very nervous. Nowadays, farmers in some towns are already starting to grab fertilizers. Fights often occur at the supply points in towns. It is said that farmers in some towns do not grab fertilizers at the supply points, so they focus on vehicles that need to pass through local fertilizers.

Three large trucks carrying fertilizers entered Yunhe Township. Yan Jiafu never relaxed his vigilance. Except for a police officer on duty, the police station followed the carriage.

Yan Jiafu was sitting in the cab of the first big truck, nervously paying attention to the movements around him. He didn't care about the eager gaze of the farmers along the way. These farmers were staring at fertilizers. Three kilometers away from Yunhexiang Town, Yan Jiafu discovered an abnormality. Not far ahead, there were many farmers gathered on the road, all carrying poles with squeezing baskets.

Seeing this attitude, Yan Jiafu's scalp was numb, and he knew it was in trouble.

Before leaving, Ma Weidong repeatedly reminded him to transport the fertilizer safely. If he encounters something special, he can deal with it decisively. The township government assumes all responsibilities. The implication is that Yan Jiafu can take extreme measures, with the purpose of ensuring that the fertilizer can be transported to Shanqian Township.

Yan Jiafu also thought seriously. The so-called extreme measures taken are definitely not possible. Can we still be equipped with guns? When we meet farmers who are robbing fertilizers, we are ready to shoot? This will definitely cause big things. However, the requirements put forward by Ma Weidong must also be implemented. Therefore, this time, only Yan Jiafu himself was carrying a pistol, and the other police officers did not have guns.

Yan Jiafu immediately ordered the car that transported fertilizers turned around. In this way, there would be no conflict. If farmers collectively come to grab fertilizers, who can you punish? In addition, these farmers who grab fertilizers are not unpaid. In this regard, they still did a good job. After grabbing the fertilizers, they all paid. To put it bluntly, they also bought fertilizers.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and soon, a large number of farmers appeared behind the three vehicles.

After being forced to stop, Yan Jiafu immediately walked out of the cab. He was wearing a police uniform. The farmer saw him and the policeman who came out of the two cars behind him did not take action for the time being.

"My fellow villagers, this is the fertilizer from Shanqian Township and the fertilizer from Yunhe Township. It is delivered by a special car..."

"We don't care. We want fertilizers. These three vehicles of fertilizer will be sold to us..."

"The money is here, we are not robbing fertilizer..."

Soon, someone handed Yan Jiafu two pockets containing money. How could Yan Jiafu accept it? It’s not a problem with money now, but a problem with the fertilizer being transported to Shanqian Township. Unfortunately, after the money was placed in front of him, the farmers began to take action.

There were hundreds of farmers, and there were still continuous farmers coming from all over the world. They were about to climb into the car. The police stopped them, and there were three to four farmers who surrounded the police, but they did not do anything, so that the police could not get close to the vehicle. The rest of the farmers climbed into the car and began to unload the fertilizer.

Yan Jiafu found something was wrong and shouted loudly.

"You can't do this. Doing this is illegal and you will be arrested..."

Yan Jiafu thought of taking out his pistol, but he hesitated. Now he took out his pistol. If the situation could not be controlled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The farmers who were about to climb onto the car stopped a little and quickly continued to move. They didn't care whether they broke the law or not. What they needed now was fertilizers. Anyway, they had already paid and there was more money. They also thought of stealing other people's fertilizer indicators and giving more money is also a kind of psychological comfort.

Seeing the fertilizer being unloaded, all the police officers looked at Yan Jiafu and waited for Yan Jiafu to give orders. Although they did not bring guns, the police equipment for the baton was still ready. As long as Yan Jiafu gave the order, they would take action, which was for the interests of the farmers in Shanqian Township.

Looking at the densely packed farmers around, there were probably more than 500 people. Yan Jiafu's face turned pale, and some of the fertilizers had been removed. It was not far from Yunhe Township Government, but he couldn't see the people from the Township Government for a long time. There was no need to say what the meaning was.

A police officer from the police station walked to Yan Jiafu's side and stopped talking.

"What do you have to say? It's time to say it, what are you doing hesitantly?"

"Captain Yan, I suspect that these farmers came to grab fertilizers because they were instructed by the township government. Otherwise, we should take compulsory measures and arrest the leader, and we can stop it."

Yan Jiafu shook his head. At this moment, someone is afraid that he would take action and immediately cause a big thing. You know, Zhou Tianhao had just taken office and Shanqian Township was still in a sensitive moment. Kuang Rengui from Yunhe Township was also transferred to the National People's Congress. Such a thing happened. I still don't know what the two leaders who continued to serve as the party secretary of the township party committee thought, not to mention that Zhou Tianhao was in charge of agriculture.
