Chapter 575: A Piece of Cake

se." 。A mature, feminine voice sounded beside him. 。This is the woman who was pulled into the off-road vehicle by the road bully before. 。She was wearing a white down jacket, with a black long dress a...>> 。

This is why Because resources are in the hands of leaders, and leaders value them, so there is resource allocation bias. 。Today, the provincial agricultural department **went to the tea garden in person for on-site office work, bringing together the strongest expert team from the entire provincial agricultural system**. 。

Jingzhou was an ancient tea-producing holy land, but after modern times, the tea industry weakened, and consequently, tea technicians became scarce. However, this is quite different from the whole province. Longjing, Chunyu, Maofeng, Longding, Huiming, Yinhou, Lvjian, and so on are all famous teas. Because tea cultivation requires pest control, the experience in this area is naturally much richer. 。Today, I personally led a team to address the tea tree pest and disease problems in An County. Experts from the provincial Tea Technology Institute and top technicians from various regions were also invited to join us. 。Xiao Zheng asked Lin Xiaofeng to serve the local best "An County Green Tea" in the teahouse for the leaders, and also sent tea and snacks to the experts among the tea trees. 。Yu, the county magistrate, and Yue, the director of the bureau, along with others, began discussing how to develop and expand the production of white tea in An County. They brainstormed ideas for An County from various aspects, including production, research, sales, and publicity. 。The county Party secretary, Jin Jianqiang, and acting county magistrate, Xiao Zheng, were also listening attentively nearby, and instructed the office to record the leaders' conversation in detail. 。seeing that An County magistrate is so serious about this, Mayor Hong is also quite satisfied. 。Chen Guangming, deputy director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, was also present. Today when Xiao Zheng welcomed provincial and municipal leaders, he also addressed Chen with the title "Director Chen". 。

Ke Chen Guangming did not give him any response.

Xiao Zheng didn't mind, taking it as a greeting already given and the courtesy fulfilled. Afterward, he went to serve the leaders. 。Chen Guangming would glance at Xiao Zheng from time to time, he felt that today's Xiao Zheng was very different from the Xiao Zheng of before. 。When receiving leaders, he was articulate and well-organized. He also took the opportunity to introduce some situations to the leaders, such as how the tea industry could solve employment issues for many people, how tea gardens had alleviated environmental pressure from acid rain and wastewater to a certain extent, and how plans were in place to establish connections with major tea merchants like Zhonghai and Yuezhou to export An County green tea overseas and earn foreign exchange. 。Xiao Zheng's ideas always seem to attract Mayor Hu's attention. 。Actually, this is a kind of ability. 。Chen Guangming was a little regretful that he had yelled at Xiao Zheng on the phone last night. 。Yesterday, Chen Guangming did not gain any advantage in his confrontation with Xiao Zheng, and was even angered by him. 。Chen Guangming had always thought that his daughter, Chen Hong, was a remarkable person. He believed Xiao Zheng was inferior to his daughter in terms of intelligence and courage. 。It seems this is not the case now. Xiao Zheng probably intentionally let his daughter... 。So far, Chen Hong still firmly believes that Xiao Zheng will one day listen to her and obediently return to her side. 。

Ke Chen now doesn't think so.

And going against Xiao Zheng seems like it won't end well. 。After this thought popped into his head, Chen Guangming started trying to adjust his mindset as much as possible. 。Facing Xiao Zheng, her expression also softened. 。However, Xiao Zheng did not glance at him again. 。Experts spent three hours working on the tea mountain and then discussed and analyzed for more than an hour. Then, the expert representative reported to Yu once. 。They have preliminarily determined that the main pests this time are lepidopteran adults such as tea tussock moth and homopteran adults such as false-eyed green leafhopper. 。If these adult pests are not dealt with in time overwintering, the pest outbreak will occur next spring! Experts believe that there are two methods that can be significantly effective for controlling them. The first method is using pesticides, which is a common and relatively effective method. However, it may leave pesticide residues on tea leaves, which can have some impact on human health if consumed as tea. 。Although current pesticides are still safe and the time interval between pest control and tea picking should be long enough, as a fragrant beverage, many people prefer not to wash tea leaves in order to maximize the preservation of their aroma and taste. 。Therefore, there is always a safety concern with using pesticides. 。However, this pest control method is relatively low-cost. 。The second method is to use light to lure and kill them. 。Currently, agricultural technology companies have invented a vibration-frequency insecticidal lamp. 。However, experts did not go into detail about this kind of lamp. 。Some experts say that, at present, this kind of vibration-type insecticidal lamp is relatively expensive and probably cannot be accepted by ordinary tea gardens, so there is not much introduction. 。

The Provincial Department of Agriculture's **Yu Changnian**, after listening to the reports, asked: "So, experts have already identified the main pests responsible for this outbreak" The experts reported back: "Yes, Director Yu. Now, we just need to choose the appropriate eradication method." 。One is the traditional pesticide control method, which has relatively low cost, but it may have pesticide residues and problems such as environmental pollution and pest resistance. 。Another method is the use of light to eradicate pests. It utilizes technology to kill insects, reducing harm to a minimum level currently achievable. Most importantly, tea drinkers don't have to worry about pesticide residue issues. 。"

Yu looked at Mayor Hong: “Mayor Hong, our provincial department can provide technical support, but these two paths for eradication, you still need to choose yourselves.” 。“Mayor Hong said, 'Yes, the provincial department has given us such great technological support. In the end, how we choose to eliminate them is up to us.'" 。“With **the basic task completed, he nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, “The taste of this Anxian green tea is truly good.” 。"But, has this been treated with pesticides"

Lin Xiaofeng immediately said: "Yu, you can rest assured, these teas are the wild green teas I specially collected from farmers' homes in our town. There are no problems with pesticides." 。"At that, he smiled and nodded. 'Good, that's better.'" 。。It's up to you to decide how to eradicate pests. 。The head of Tianhuang Town, Qin Keling, asked the experts: "Could you please tell us how much a vibration-frequency killing lamp costs"One expert replied: "According to our understanding, the best quality mosquito killing lamp with the most effective trapping effect currently on the market costs about one thousand yuan per unit." 。A pest control lamp can cover about 30 mu of land, meaning that for a tea garden of 2,000 mu, a maximum of 70 lamps would be needed, and each lamp can be used for 5 years. 。"Qin Keli calculated and said, "That means that a tea garden like ours would only cost 70,000 yuan, right And it includes five years of maintenance" The expert nodded and said, "Yes." 。Actually, using pesticides isn't as cost-effective as it seems. When you factor in the cost of the pesticides themselves, labor, and potential environmental damage, it becomes less appealing compared to using technological solutions like insect-killing lights. 。However, many tea farmers find that the insect-killing lamps are too expensive and are unwilling to make a one-time investment. 。Qin Keli then addressed Guan Wenwei, Jin Jianqiang, and Xiao Zheng, saying: "Dear leaders, I suggest we use a vibrating-frequency insecticidal lamp." 。Tea is for drinking, and we should do our best to ensure it doesn't pose any safety hazards. 。"Jin Jianqiang asked, "Where should we invest this money" Guan Wenwei stated, "We should invest it in our town." 。Whether it's a tea enterprise or a tea farmer, as long as they grow tea in our town, we provide them with insect-killing lamps. 。"We've got to spend this money! Mayor Qin, you handle the finances. I think what I'm saying makes sense, right" Qin Keli said, "This seventy thousand yuan isn't a lot, but if other villages start planting tea too and need these bug lamps as well, it could become quite an expense." 。

I wonder if the county can support us.

Jin Jianqiang looked at Xiao Zheng: "County Magistrate Xiao, what do you think" It's easy to solve one tea garden, but what about a hundred tea gardens That's millions, even tens of millions! Everyone also looked at Xiao Zheng, because now Xiao Zheng is the acting county magistrate. 。Sipping on the emerald green tea, he watched Xiao Zheng with amusement. 。Mayor Hong also looked at Xiao Zheng, and asked, "County Mayor Xiao, your opinion is very important now." 。"Xiao Zheng saw everyone looking at him, so he said: "Leaders, just now, I asked General Manager Lin, if the tea he drank had been treated with medicine." 。If Mr. Lin said he had beaten it, Yu's heart would probably skip a beat, and he might even be too afraid to touch it. 。Because everyone doesn't want to ingest pesticide residue. 。Let's treat others the way we want to be treated. We shouldn't drink tea without pesticide residues ourselves, but let consumers drink contaminated tea, right No matter what other places do, I think that tea leaves coming out of An County should all be pesticide-free and safe for consumption. 。We are building this brand, making the names "green," "no residue," and "harmless" known. 。Spending money on technology and spending money on health, I think both are worthwhile. 。So, although I am the county magistrate, I promise that as long as I have the authority to decide on this matter, the county government will cover the cost of these insect-repelling lamps. We will find a way to raise the money in our county. 。After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng and several tea farmer representatives couldn't help but applaud. 。< No other leaders spoke. > 。

Everyone looked at Yu and Mayor Hong. 。Although they all thought Xiao Zheng made a lot of sense and spoke to their hearts, since the leader hadn't stated their position, no one dared to say anything. 。In government, many things are not about right and wrong, or should and shouldn't. It's about whether the leader nods in agreement. 。People who can speak the truth without reservation are rare, and sometimes they don't have a good effect. 。This is the complexity of speaking within a system. 。At this time, Mayor Hong patted the stone table in the bamboo pavilion and said in a loud voice: "Comrade Xiao Zheng's statement is very good." 。I completely agree. 。Agricultural production can be profitable, but the first priority is to make honest money. You shouldn't cause health problems for people after they spend their money on your products! The second priority is to make long-term profits and add value to your products. 。As long as we stick to using no pesticides and the organic approach, more and more people will know that our tea leaves are clean, healthy, and safe to drink. Then, more and more people will buy our tea, and our tea leaves will definitely sell for a higher price than others. All the money invested now will be returned! So, I fully agree with Comrade Xiao Zheng's opinion, using good insect-killing lamps and advanced technology to control pests and diseases!

Listening to this, he also applauded: "The decision made by Jingzhou City and An County has brought me great comfort as an agricultural official!" 。I like to drink tea that is free from harmful substances, and I believe everyone enjoys this healthy tea. 。Since you have already made the decision, you must ensure this is carried out properly, getting rid of pests and diseases as soon as possible. Aim for a good harvest next year, a small bumper harvest the year after, and a large bumper harvest the year after that. 。"Our provincial Department of Agriculture can also set up a base here for you, and we can help you apply for agricultural project funding to ensure that An County makes its brand of green, residue-free, and pollution-free tea leaves widely known!"

The crowd applauded again. 。Even agricultural experts are very pleased. 。A smile appeared on the faces of Xiao Zheng, Guan Wenwei, Qin Keli, Lin Xiaofeng and others. 。What was originally a very difficult and worrisome matter, has now turned into a good thing! were furnished by the former County Party Secretary Liebin, but at this time Xiao Zheng didn't try to defend himself." 。Chen Qingshan said: "The former Director Lebedev, he was really a connoisseur o...
