Chapter 644: A big grain-growing county is also a poor county

There are two buyers from Carrefour Supermarket who go to Wuye County to purchase rice. One is named Liu Zheng and the other is named Li Ming. They have been working in the purchasing department of Carrefour Supermarket for two or three years and are considered old people in the company. Regarding the purchase of poisonous rice

, the two of them were also extremely shocked, not believing that the rice they purchased from Wuye County was actually poisonous rice.

After some investigation, it was finally concluded that what the two people said was not a lie, and there was probably a hidden agenda in the whole matter.

So Fang Mingyuan informed Yang Junyi and transferred four more capable police officers from the Provincial Police Department to accompany him to Wuye County.

Wuye County is located in the central part of Liao Province. It is a famous agricultural county in the country. It is the largest corn distribution center in the north and the fourth largest grain production base and livestock and poultry production and processing base in the country. The transportation here is convenient, with two railways and 102

National Highway 303 passes through the territory. Every year, a large amount of grain, livestock and poultry products are shipped from here to all parts of the country.

In the first month of the year in the Northeast, it is still the season when cold winds are severe and white snow falls. Once you leave Shanhaiguan, you can see thick snow on both sides of National Highway 102. The snow on the road has been almost completely crushed by the vehicles passing by.

Even so, Chen Zhong still slowed down his speed to avoid any accidents.

"I told you to wait in the capital for us to go back, but you have to come and suffer." Fang Mingyuan said, sitting in the back seat wrapped in a down jacket.

"What's wrong with suffering? I just want to come!" Lin Rong said unconvinced.

This time they came down and did not drive any good cars, but four ordinary jeeps. These old-fashioned jeeps had no air conditioning installed in the car, and air leaked everywhere. Even though they were driving fast, they were not much warmer than outside.

.As a result, Lin Rong had a cold, and she spoke in a muffled voice. She even used countless toilet paper.

"Then you go to the convoy at the back, that car is warm." Fang Mingyuan persuaded again. Behind this convoy of four ordinary jeeps, there is another convoy a few kilometers away. There are more good cars in this convoy.

"If you don't go, there's no reason why the boss is blowing the air in front and the secretary is enjoying the blessings in the back. If I tell my sister later, I will be said to be unprofessional!" Lin Rong's head shook like a rattle.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a headache. This was all done casually by him. Lin Rong was familiar with him. If she didn't listen to this kind of thing, he really had nothing to do. He couldn't use his identity as brother-in-law to suppress her, right?

"I won't tell your sister, and Brother Chen won't tell your sister either, so that's it!" Fang Mingyuan advised.

"What's the use of just the two of you not talking about it? So many people will see that I, Mr. Fang's secretary, am enjoying the luxury in a nice car, no, no, no!" Lin Rong said without hesitation.

"Your sister doesn't know how to interact with them. How could she possibly know about this?" Fang Mingyuan said with some annoyance.

"But they will spread the news in the company. What if it reaches my sister's ears? So, I won't go!" Lin Rong took out the toilet paper, blew her nose and said, "Young Master Fang, if you feel scared

If I infected you, please tell me clearly."

"Fuck! That's up to you!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, this is what dogs bite Lu Dongbin - they don't know good people's hearts.

Although it was only two weeks after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Mingyuan noticed on the long-distance buses along the way that all the long-distance buses heading towards the capital were full of people, obviously all of them were going south to work.

I think there will be more people on the train at this time. Every year before and after the Spring Festival, it is tantamount to a tough battle for the transportation department.

Fang Mingyuan withdrew his gaze, rubbed his stiff hands, and picked up the information in his hands.

Cadmium, derived from kadmia, meaning "soil", was discovered in 1817 by Strohmaier, a professor of chemistry and medicine at the University of Göttingen in Germany. It often exists together with zinc in nature. Currently, there are many methods available in the world

Metal cadmium is obtained from cadmium-containing smoke or cadmium residue, such as coal or carbon reduction or sulfuric acid leaching and zinc powder replacement. Further purification can be performed by electrolytic refining and vacuum distillation.

Although cadmium is very harmful when entering the human body, it is also an important industrial raw material. For example, when refining many kinds of alloys, cadmium needs to be added. For example, the famous Wood fusible alloy

It contains cadmium, the bearing materials of aircraft engines also contain cadmium, and hard copper alloys with high tensile strength and wear resistance also contain cadmium. Due to its high oxidation potential, it can also be used to make iron and steel.

, copper protective film, widely used in electroplating.

It is also an excellent metal that absorbs neutrons. It can be made into rods to slow down the nuclear chain reaction rate in atomic reactors, and is quite useful in zinc-cadmium batteries. Cadmium compounds are also widely used in the production of pigments and phosphors.

Cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, and cadmium telluride are used in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells. The cadmium yellow pigment made of its bright sulfide is widely welcomed by many artists around the world.

But it is also very harmful. On the one hand, it harms the human body by breathing, and on the other hand, it contaminates soil and water sources, thereby contaminating land crops, thereby harming the human body. Therefore, Western developed countries have classified cadmium as a highly hazardous toxic substance and

It is a carcinogen and is regulated. The rice sold in Wuye County contains cadmium. This is obviously because the local soil is contaminated.

Fang Mingyuan originally planned to send someone over to investigate, but then he thought about it and decided to go and have a look in person. In his previous life, he had heard of Itai-Tai Disease, but had never actually seen it.

When night fell, the convoy entered the county seat of Wuye County. This is a city with a large area, more than double the size of the original Pingchuan County.

Under the guidance of Liu Zheng and Li Ming, the group found a guest house in the county and stayed there.

After dinner, Fang Mingyuan took Chen Zhong and Guo Tianming out of the guest house and came to the street. Guo Tianming was the leading police officer sent by the Qinxi Provincial Police Department this time, and he was also a direct descendant of Yang Junyi.

It can be seen that Wuye County is not prosperous after dark, and the roads on the streets are also bumpy. On both sides of the snow-covered roads, there are some small shops that look really shabby, but it looks like

It can be seen that the business is not very good. Fang Mingyuan also noticed that the people sitting at the door of some barber shops and hair salons are young girls. When they see men walking by, they will smile and wave. They are probably "sex educators"

". Guo Tianming frowned a little when he looked at these people.

"Lao Guo, this Wuye County doesn't look rich!" Chen Zhong also noticed the women and said in a low voice.

"Brother Chen, Wuye County is a big grain-growing county, but in our country, big grain-growing counties are generally financially poor counties. Grain-growing and poverty are usually connected together. You said, this is the most important filling industry.

People who work with a full stomach are the poorest." Guo Tianming sighed. His hometown is also in a rural area. The local area is considered the main grain producing area in Qinxi Province, but it is also a famously poor place in Qinxi Province. So seeing this

Wuye County, I can't help but feel a little emotional about it.

Fang Mingyuan also heard Guo Tianming's words and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is determined by China's national conditions. The current national policy is to use agriculture to subsidize industry and rural areas to subsidize cities. Farmers sell their agricultural products to cities at low prices.

, and then buy daily necessities from the city at high prices. At the same time, China has a large agricultural population and very little land per capita. Naturally, the more large grain-growing counties are, the poorer their finances will be.

And the poorer you are, the infrastructure construction cannot keep up. Without convenient transportation, sufficient electricity, and insufficient consumer groups, investment will not be attracted. Moreover, a vicious circle has been formed, that is, even if the county gets

Even if they receive some financial subsidies, they will not invest in food production because it is too difficult to drive GDP with food. Officials will have significant political achievements if they add one or two industrial projects. And these industrial projects launched are not as important in today's state-owned enterprises.

In the general trend of corporate losses, not only were they unable to bring sufficient benefits to the county, but they also swallowed up more fiscal funds.

But to say that food prices are too low, most urban residents certainly do not agree with this. In the final analysis, the average income of Chinese people is too low, and a large amount of income is collected by the government. As a result, they are simply unable to afford high food prices. Just like

In the previous life, when the price of food and oil increased by a few cents, urban residents would exclaim. If the country could truly assume its responsibilities in education, medical care, and housing, let alone how much a kilogram of rice would cost, it would be a pound of rice.

Ten yuan per catty of rice, so what?

In this situation, even in the first ten years of the next century, there will still be no fundamental changes!

The three of them strolled along the street, admiring the street scenes on both sides. Fang Mingyuan was wondering where to go first to find out the news.

After turning a crossroads, a hospital appeared not far away - Wuye First People's Hospital. It was a short four-story building with dead vines and dead leaves climbing on the walls. The door was open, but the

The lights were a bit pale, and when he looked at the dark corridor inside, he couldn't see any people. Coupled with the sparsely populated streets, Fang Mingyuan felt that the environment and atmosphere here were quite suitable for Hong Kong people to make ghost movies. It looked a bit like that.

Infiltrate people.

"Let's go and have a look!" Fang Mingyuan said to the two of them. Since it is the First People's Hospital of Wuye County, it is probably the best hospital here. Maybe we can learn something about cadmium pollution from here.

The three of them came to the door of the hospital. Fang Mingyuan noticed that there was a small restaurant opposite the hospital. At the door of the restaurant, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was sitting. His clothes were a bit shabby, but they were well washed.

It's quite clean, and I look up at the hospital from time to time.

As soon as the three of them walked into the big iron gate of the hospital, they heard someone from behind shouting: "Hey, what are you three doing?"
