Chapter 1256

The provincial special investigation team was on the fourth floor of the guesthouse. At first, when the armed police sealed off the guesthouse, they didn't pay attention.

When they knew the central special investigation team had arrived, they wanted to go to welcome them, but were stopped by the armed police outside.

No matter what they said, even if they lost their temper and cursed, it was useless. The armed police guarding their room door told them.

Without orders from superiors, they could not leave their rooms.

Zhao Fengkui was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the room, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Just now, he wanted to call the province, but the phone in the room couldn't get through; obviously, the phone line had been cut.

He really couldn't hold it anymore, pulled open the door and walked out, and was immediately stopped by the armed police outside.

"Sorry, you cannot go out."

Zhao Fengkui suppressed his anger and said: "I'm hungry, I want to go eat."

The armed police said expressionlessly: "Go back and wait; I have to report to the leader."

"Don't you understand, damn it?" Zhao Fengkui stared with angry eyes: "I said, I'm hungry, I want to go eat."

The armed police still said expressionlessly: "Go back and wait; I have to report to the leader."

"You..."

Zhao Fengkui raised his hand and was about to hit, and then heard a *clatter*, the armed police raised the gun in his hand and pulled the bolt.

"The order we received is to execute battlefield orders if anyone makes trouble."

Zhao Fengkui's complexion turned pale in a flash, and his raised hand hung down limply.

He wasn't a soldier, but he also knew what it meant for soldiers to execute battlefield orders. Once soldiers are attacked, they can fire.

Zhao Fengkui honestly returned to the room and closed the door.

Now he understood that they were being held under house arrest, and wanting to contact the outside world was simply impossible.

And all signs indicated that this time the central special investigation team had come down, and it was definitely not as simple as they had imagined.

It's just that he didn't see who the leader and deputy leader of the special investigation team were, otherwise he would have been scared to pee.

Beijing!

Today, major media outlets released the news that the country was opening up the secondary grain market.

And at the same time released the research report on food security and farmland protection, ensuring 1.8 billion mu of farmland to guarantee food security, which immediately caused discussions from all walks of life in society.

Yangcheng, Youth Daily!

Yan Qidong looked at the newspaper, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Isn't this nonsense? Since the fifties, there hasn't been a serious food famine; there is simply no need to ensure 1.8 billion mu of farmland."

This guy put down the newspaper, then picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, Xie Fusheng's voice came through the receiver: "Old Yan, why did you think of calling me today?"

Yan Qidong smiled and said: "Did you watch the news?"

Xie Fusheng asked: "What news?"

Yan Qidong said: "The news about opening up the secondary grain market and ensuring 1.8 billion mu of farmland."

"Watched it!" Xie Fusheng snorted: "Reform and opening up, wanting to align with international standards, a grain market opening or not has been studied for so many years.

Now it's finally studied clearly, and it's only opening up the secondary grain market. I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking; in the end, it will definitely have to be fully opened. Isn't this taking off your pants to fart?"

"I can't understand it either." Yan Qidong sighed: "If you want to open it, open it all, let the US and the West see our sincerity. You opening half like this is also opening, and still making the US dissatisfied; why bother?"

Xie Fusheng asked: "Do you want me to write a commentary article?"

"Yes!" Yan Qidong smiled and said: "Your writing power, I know very clearly; you will definitely be able to write a profound article. If the higher-ups see it, then you, Xie Fusheng, will truly be in the emperor's heart."

"Hahaha..."

Xie Fusheng burst into loud laughter: "Old Yan, you are praising me to death. However, writing a commentary article is no problem; as for whether the higher-ups can see it, I don't care."

A period of time ago, this old guy was almost driven to depression by Zhou Andong, and only just now had he recovered, and that restless heart started beating again.

"However!" Xie Fusheng said: "I am just a writer; even if I can write a profound commentary article, it has no persuasiveness. Therefore, I think it's better to find a professor in a professional field to write one."

"I think so too." Yan Qidong said: "You write first; tomorrow is definitely too late, I'll leave a space for you the day after tomorrow. I'll contact an old friend in agriculture and let him write an article."

Xie Fusheng agreed: "Fine, you contact that agricultural friend of yours."

South China Agricultural University, College of Agriculture, Zhao Yujing, director of the Institute of Economics, was also looking at the newspaper.

"Fallacy!"

Zhao Yujing threw the newspaper aside, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then looked at the time; it was almost time to get off work, so he stood up, put on his coat, and was just about to leave when the phone on his desk rang.

"*Ding-a-ling... *"

Zhao Yujing picked up the phone: "I am Zhao Yujing."

"Old Zhao, I am Yan Qidong."

A smile appeared on Zhao Yujing's face: "Looking for me at this time, want to invite me to drink?"

Yan Qidong burst into loud laughter: "Sure, you find a place, and we'll drink a bit."

"Forget it." Zhao Yujing said very regretfully: "I have something to do; let's talk another day."

Yan Qidong asked: "Did you watch the news about the country opening up the secondary grain market and the 1.8 billion mu farmland protection?"

"Watched it." Zhao Yujing said very dissatisfiedly: "Opening up the secondary grain market is not as good as opening it all up directly. And the so-called 1.8 billion mu farmland red line that cannot be broken is simply nonsense; farmland and grain production have no direct relationship at all."

Yan Qidong said: "Tell me, how is there no relationship?"

Zhao Yujing said: "Since the end of the fifties, our country hasn't had a serious famine, and in the past few years, there has been a bumper harvest of grain; farmers wanted to sell but couldn't, and the country still spent money to purchase it.

What's important is that the current situation is completely different from decades ago; the country has already solved the problem of grain production and distribution. Especially, the conditions and environment at home and abroad have all changed.

Abroad, there is sufficient grain production and a globalized market; once our grain market is opened, foreign grain will flood into the country, and the price will be cheap.

Therefore, the possibility of a famine, even if not equal to zero, is minimal. But our grain policy is still based on the assumption that a famine could happen at any time; if this isn't nonsense, what is?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Qidong said: "I also feel that the report released by the country this time has problems, but I just don't see it as thoroughly as you do. So I called to learn from you, and by the way, let you write a commentary article."
