Li Kaiyun nodded repeatedly.

"Then the second question is, why am I so angry?"

"That means doing local business!"

Local business is a Chuzhou dialect term, which roughly means that locals bully outsiders.

"Who is this Tan Xiaobing?"

"He's just a local tyrant."

"He's a local from Qichong Brigade. His brother, Tan Xiaojun, is the branch secretary of Qichong Brigade. People with the surname Tan make up 70 percent of the total population of Qichong Brigade. He feels that the entire Qichong belongs to his Tan Xiaobing family."

"In Qi Chong, in the southern suburbs, all the vegetable farmers had to listen to him, and he was the sole seller of all the vegetables. But the prices he paid the farmers were very low. A pound of cucumbers sold for 18 cents in the market, but he only gave Liu Wu 6 cents."

"Even for those other Qichong vegetable farmers, he only gave them ten cents."

"Bullying the market, forcing people to buy and sell!"

"If they don't agree, beat them. Beat them to death!"

"Is this okay?"

"Is he Nan Batian?"

"Are they the bandits and bullies of the old society?"

Liu Chuan knocked on the table again, very angry.

"Guys like this must be dealt with resolutely!"

"Be strict and severe!"

"Don't let any of his gang of hooligans go."

"How can this happen right under the noses of our prefectural party committee and government office? What's going on?"

"The Party branch in Qi Chong is no good, it's rotten, so we should replace it all. Let capable comrades take over!"

"I have always emphasized the need to improve grassroots party organizations and strengthen the team of party members and cadres. Why?"

"That's why!"

"Comrades, this local trade is not acceptable. This is not a small matter, this is a big deal!"

"This represents the broad-mindedness of our Chuzhou region!"

"That out-of-town boss, Mr. Peng, drove for hours from the ancestral tomb to come here to wholesale vegetables. This is great news. We grow so many greenhouse vegetables and raise so many pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks. How can we not sell them abroad?"

"I talked to him, and he said he came here because Chuzhou has good security and cheap vegetables. But when he got here, he was beaten and scared to death!"

"Our Chuzhou region is about to be upgraded from a prefecture-level city to a city. It's a nationally recognized leader and has gained considerable fame. People from many parts of the country have come here to learn from us, and the four special economic zones will also come to learn from us. Shall we show them a Chuzhou like this?"

"It has brought shame to our Chuzhou."

"From now on, anyone who engages in local business and bullies out-of-town customers will be dealt with immediately upon discovery. There will be no leniency and no mercy."

"Comrades, I've invited everyone to this meeting today not just to vent my anger, nor just to discuss this case. I'm wondering: Is this situation unique to the political and legal system? Does it also exist in other systems and departments?"

"Is it possible that those of us here are being deceived by those below us?"

"I think it's very likely!"

"Comrades, this situation must be stopped!"

“How can we prevent it?”

"It's easy!"

"Every one of us leading cadres must go down to the grassroots and interact more with the grassroots cadres and masses on the front lines. We shouldn't always stay in the office reading documents and reports. That won't work. Over time, we will be separated from the masses and lose access to first-hand information."

"I've decided, starting with myself, to set aside one day every month to meet with cadres and the masses on the front lines."

"Let them report the problem to me in person!"

“You can report any problem!”

"I do this, and so do you. All the county party secretaries and county governors below should do this!"

“This has to become an institution!”

Liu Chuan didn't know that he had inadvertently created a new "historical precedent".

This time, without Liu Hongyi's golden finger, it was purely a decision he made after careful consideration.

A new "Chuzhou Experience" was born.

During the winter vacation, Liu Hongyi, Ai Xiaoyu, Xu Wenxin, Xin Yuanjia, Quan Xu, Yan Xue and others came to Chuzhou together.
