Chapter 676 The crying child has milk to eat

Thailand Agricultural Association, Nakhon came to the office of Chairman Song En early in the morning.

President, do you have something to do with me? Na Kun said respectfully.

Nakun, I have read the news of the purchase of agricultural machinery of 5 billion baht on the morning news. There are also newspapers on the table that have also published related news. You have done a good job this time, and your work efficiency is very high. , The thing that was only instructed to you yesterday has been completed today! President Song En said.

Na Kun looked confused. He subconsciously glanced at the newspaper on President Song En's desk, and he did see a report on the purchase of 5 billion agricultural machinery.

What's the situation? I haven't gone to the media yet, so how come it was published? And it was on the morning news on TV? Na Kun was a little confused.

Yesterday, President Song En arranged for Na Kun to go to the media to publicize the purchase of agricultural machinery with 5 billion baht.

But as a native Thai, how could Nakun do this thing right away? This is not in line with the efficiency of Thai people.

So Na Kun decided to talk to a few media today and ask them to publish a report to communicate with President Song En.

But I didn't expect that before the matter was done, the news was already published in the newspapers, and it was even reported on TV.

Na Kun was puzzled by some monks who were two feet tall. He thought which kind person was helping him with his errands!

However, in the face of President Song En's repeated city battles, Na Kun couldn't say that I didn't do this.

So Na Kun quickly nodded and said, President, after you handed this matter to me yesterday, I didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately went to some familiar media to complete the work you assigned.

Credit for this kind of thing, even if it's not your own, you have to recognize it.

At the same time, in the newspaper office of an evening newspaper in Thailand, the editor-in-chief personally delivered a stranger to the door.

After returning to his office, the editor-in-chief took out an envelope from the drawer and began to count the Thai baht inside.

This envelope was given to the editor-in-chief by the stranger just now.

After the inventory was completed, the editor-in-chief put the envelope close to his body, and then called a subordinate.

Here's a report, put it on the front page of this evening's newspaper. The editor-in-chief handed a report.

The subordinates took a closer look. This is the news that the Thai Agricultural Association will spend 5 billion to purchase agricultural machinery for rice planting.

Editor-in-chief, this news has already been published in the morning paper, should we continue to publish it in the evening paper? his subordinate asked.

Of course it has to be published. We have to let the farmers know that they will have new agricultural machinery soon! This kind of good thing that is beneficial to the vast number of farmers naturally needs to be publicized more. The editor-in-chief said calmly.

Okay, editor-in-chief. The subordinate nodded and walked out of the editor-in-chief's office with the report.

Immediately next to him, someone with good things came forward and asked: Papan, what did the editor-in-chief want you to do? Is there another good thing?

The editor-in-chief asked me to publish this report in the Evening News! Papin pointed to the report in his hand.

The news about the purchase of 5 billion agricultural machinery, hasn't it been reported by the morning paper? And I saw other coals have also reported it! We're only publishing this news now, isn't it a bit late? the other party said.

Remember the stranger who left just now? Eighty percent of the time he came to give money to the editor-in-chief. After the stranger left, the editor-in-chief immediately asked me to publish this report in the evening paper. Don't you understand? Papan speak up.

The purchase of agricultural machinery is almost every year. It is a normal news. Our newspapers report news normally. Can the editor-in-chief still have oil and water? The other party asked.

Hey, you really don't understand! Papan lowered his voice and continued; The purchase of agricultural machinery of 5 billion baht is equivalent to a subsidy for farmers. If such a thing is publicized, farmers will definitely support the current government. , which is good for the incumbent government's votes. The general election is only a few months away, and our current Prime Minister is seeking re-election,

Should you understand this?

You mean that the stranger who came just now is a member of Mr. Prime Minister's campaign team? The other party nodded suddenly.

You finally got the hang of it! Papin continued: The prime minister's campaign team wants to hype up its achievements, but it can't blatantly use administrative resources, otherwise the opposition will get caught.

So they spend their own money and find the media to publish more of the news, so that they can publicize their political achievements and win the votes of the peasants.

After the stranger left the newspaper office, he went to several media outlets, and in the evening, he appeared in Yue An's hotel suite.

Mr. Yue, everything you explained to me has been done. The other party said.

No one doubts you, right? Yue An'an asked cautiously.

Please rest assured, I did not reveal my identity. The other party smiled slightly, and then said: I guess those people in the media will also regard me as a member of the Prime Minister's campaign team.

After all, the 5 billion baht agricultural machinery order is a very important achievement of the current government. If it is hyped, it can consolidate the votes in rural areas.

Yue An'an nodded and then asked, Have you found the agricultural expert I asked you to find?

I have found it. They received the money and are willing to write articles according to our requirements. In addition, I have also checked the TV station. After that, I will do a program. I will invite a number of agricultural experts to the scene to discuss 5 billion baht. How should the agricultural machinery be distributed?”

The news of the 5 billion baht agricultural machinery appeared in the Thai media, and it seemed to spread quickly.

The rice farmers in Thailand were instantly rejoicing.

For ordinary farmers, 5 billion baht is an astronomical figure that cannot be imagined. With such a large subsidy, it is undoubtedly a big pie in the sky.

Of course, there are voices of opposition. After all, this is 5 billion baht, which is also a lot of money in terms of Thailand's economic size. Naturally, the opposition party will accuse the ruling party of spending money indiscriminately.

Dogs of various parties bite dogs are common in Thailand, and the common people are accustomed to them.

It was at this time that articles by some agricultural experts appeared in the media, discussing how to distribute rice worth 5 billion baht.

The five billion baht of agricultural machinery is all provided by Kubota, a famous Japanese agricultural machinery company. The price of Kubota's rice rotary cultivator is more than 1 million baht, while the price of rice harvester is about 1.5 million baht.

With a median price of 1.25 million baht, we can buy 4,000 agricultural machinery for 5 billion baht. I think 3,000 of them should be supplied to the main rice-producing areas in the Central Plains.

The rice-producing area in the central plain has fertile land and is a concentrated production area of ​​deep rice. The rice output also accounts for one-fourth of the country's total. Agricultural machinery operations should be vigorously promoted to develop and expand the geographical advantage.

Another article wrote: The rice planting area in the eastern region accounts for 40% of the country's total, and it is also the main producing area of ​​fragrant rice. Moreover, the natural conditions in the eastern region are poor, and more agricultural machinery should be used to improve the unit of output.

The third expert wrote: At least half of the 4,000 agricultural machinery should be transferred to the northern region. The irrigation conditions in the northern region are relatively good, but the unit yield of rice is also the highest in the country, and the use of machinery is also the most cost-effective.

There are four main rice producing areas in Thailand, and different varieties of rice are grown for different products.

The northernmost is the northern rice area, including 17 prefectures. The rice fields in the northern rice area account for a quarter of the country's rice fields. There are better irrigation conditions and advanced planting technology. The unit yield of rice is the highest in Thailand.

In the northern rice area of ​​Thailand, close to Myanmar, is the upland rice planting area of ​​Thailand, and a little further south, transplanted rice is planted.

The plateau in the northeastern part of Thailand is the northeastern rice-producing area, that is, the area adjacent to the Mekong River in the east. The natural conditions there are relatively poor, and the unit yield is also the lowest in Thailand. However, because the sown area of ​​rice is relatively large, the yield of rice is a little There are many children.

In the northeast, near the border with Laos, transplanted rice is also planted, and direct seeded rice is grown elsewhere.

Live-broadcasting rice is not about direct seeding by internet celebrities, but direct sowing. The seeds are sprinkled into the soil, and then the rice grows by itself, without the need for seedlings to be transplanted.

This is obviously the most primitive way of growing rice. As a large rice-growing country, Thailand still grows direct-seeded rice on a large scale, which also shows that Thailand's agricultural technology is indeed relatively backward.

At the same time, relying on the most primitive technology of direct seeding rice, so much rice can be planted, which also means that the land in Thailand is really very fertile, and there is no need to raise and transplant seedlings. Eat!

Moreover, this is also a place with relatively poor natural conditions in Thailand, and there are places with relatively good natural conditions in Thailand.

That is the central plain rice area, which is the plain that the Chao Phraya River hits. There is the real rice warehouse in Thailand. The rice output accounts for a quarter of the whole of Thailand. Of course, direct-seeded rice is also grown there.

This may be the reason why Thai people are slow in everything they do. The land is too fertile. Sowing seeds will produce food. You don’t have to worry about eating every day. Who has the heart to work hard!

The fourth rice producing area is the southern producing area, which is the long and narrow area in southern Thailand from the border of Myanmar to the border of Malaysia. The area of ​​paddy fields accounts for 7% of Thailand, and it is basically ignored.

There are now 5 billion baht of flat cake to be distributed, and how much to allocate to each rice product is naturally something worth discussing.

Each rice-producing region wants to share an extra piece of cake, and the provinces in Thailand are not idle, and they have to compete.

Then the topic of the distribution of agricultural machinery, from the rice-producing area, to the prefectures.

A group of Thai agricultural experts published articles in the media one after another, clearly stating how much agricultural machinery each province can get.

Several agricultural experts with different opinions were even invited to debate on the TV. Naturally, these experts said that the public was right and the mother was right.

For a while, how to allocate the five billion baht of agricultural machinery became a hot topic.

The agricultural expo in Thailand is over, and exhibitors are packing their bags and preparing to leave.

In the VIP lounge of Bangkok International Airport, Song Chengde looked around and saw only Li Weidong, but not Yue Anan.

Song Chengde originally wanted to find another opportunity to show off, but Yue Anquan didn't arrive, and it was not good to show off.

So Song Chengde couldn't help but walked over and asked, Chairman Li, where is Yue An'an? Didn't you take the same extension as you?

Mr. Yue still has some unfinished business, so he has to stay for a few more days. Li Weidong replied.

Eighty percent of the time, it's because you don't want to think about Shu! There are little girls who do massages in Thailand! Song Chengde gave a sinister smile and cursed maliciously:

Chairman Li, you'd better remind him to be careful, this is not like China in foreign countries, don't get AIDS and lose your life!

Li Weidong first put on a confused expression, then suddenly realized, and then said: Sorry, I am a relatively simple person, and I didn't think about what you meant for a while, unlike Chairman Song, It is more convenient to have experience with it.”

I... Song Chengde suddenly became dumb eating Huanglian, and he couldn't tell the pain.

At the same time, Kubota's representative was also in the VIP waiting room, watching a Thai program on TV.

In the program, several agricultural experts are discussing the distribution of agricultural machinery.

The Japanese representative at the head could not understand Thai, but he could understand the words Kubota spoken by Thai people.

This show seems to be talking about us Kubota, what exactly do they talk about? the representative asked the translator who knew Thai next to him.

They are discussing the distribution of agricultural machinery. The translator added: It's our order of 5 billion baht!

I just signed the contract, and the things haven't been produced yet, so we started to discuss how to distribute them? The representative was stunned for a while, and thought to himself, is this the Thai person I know? When did it become so efficient?

The issue of the distribution of agricultural machinery in the media has been discussed for several days, and many Thai farmers also have some understanding of this.

After listening to the fierce discussion and analysis of experts, many farmers have realized that they may not be able to get much agricultural machinery in their prefecture.

A prefecture can’t get many agricultural machines, so how many can be allocated to counties, districts, and villages? When it comes to families, those who can be assigned agricultural machinery are probably like winning the lottery!

In a village in Ayutthaya, Thailand, before the sun went down, the farmer Prayuth returned home, turned on the radio, leaned back on his chair, and began to lay on the board.

The radio was discussing how the five billion baht of agricultural machinery should be distributed.

Experts mentioned several places, but Dachengfu was not mentioned. Probably because the land area of ​​Dachengfu is relatively small, it was ignored by experts.

Prayuth, who was lying on the board, became more and more angry. According to experts, the five billion baht of agricultural machinery could not be assigned to Dachengfu, let alone Prayut's head.

Prayut has listened to a lot of similar expert discussions recently.

A few days ago, the media reported that there would be 5 billion baht of agricultural machinery to be distributed to farmers. Prayuth was happy for a while, but he didn’t expect to have his share when it was actually put into operation!

Wouldn't that be an empty joy?

No, why do other houses have so many, but our Dacheng House doesn't have them!

Prayuth sat up abruptly, he decided to do something, like go to Bangkok to protest! Ask the Agricultural Association to allocate more agricultural machinery to Dacheng House, and it is best to allocate one directly to yourself!

Crying children have milk to eat, and now is the time to cry hard!

Dacheng is not far from Bangkok. Prayuth joined other villagers, and then contacted some farmers in the next village to protest in Bangkok.

Not only the nearby villages, but also farmers from nearby counties and districts heard that they were going to Bangkok to ask for agricultural machinery, and many also joined in.

It was not a busy farming season at that time, and the farmers were also very busy. Instead of lying on the board every day at home, it is better to go to Bangkok. If you can get a farm machine for yourself, wouldn’t it be a bloody profit!

As a result, more than a hundred farmers from Dachengfu appeared in front of the Agricultural Association. They asked the Agricultural Association to allocate agricultural machinery to Dachengfu.

Chairman Song En stood in the office, looking at the farmers holding signs protesting outside, his brows almost twisted into a rope.

Efficient capable general Na Kun asked from the side: President, there are farmers protesting outside, what should we do?

The order for agricultural machinery of 5 billion baht has just been signed, and the manufacturers have not yet produced it. I have come to ask for agricultural machinery now, and I can't get it! Song En sighed helplessly.

President, it's not a problem for these farmers to stay here all the time! Now is the slack time for farming, and farmers have time to spend with us. Even if they stay for ten days and a half months, they may not go back. Nakun said.

Song En pondered for a moment, then said: First find a way to send these farmers away! Tell them that they came early, and the manufacturer has not produced these agricultural machinery yet. When the agricultural machinery arrives, the Agricultural Association will give priority to Dachengfu.

Song En originally thought that the protesting farmers would be sent away by writing a blank check first.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the number of farmers holding signs at the door increased instead of decreasing.

We all know that crying children have milk to eat.

What's more, farmers from Dacheng Prefecture came to hold a sign for one day. The Agricultural Association immediately stated that when allocating agricultural machinery, Dacheng Prefecture would be given priority, and other provinces would not hurry up.

Thailand's land area is not large, only 510,000 square kilometers, similar to Sichuan Province. This is also divided into 77 provinces, so one province in Thailand is equivalent to one county in China.

When a Thai farmer travels from various provinces to Bangkok, it is equivalent to a person from a certain county in Sichuan going to Chengdu. How difficult can it be?

A crying child needs milk, isn't it louder than anyone else?

If more than 100 peasants came to your Dachengfu, then I will come to 200 to 300 peasants; if your Dachengfu holds a sign for one day, then I will hold a sign for two days. I am overweight everywhere, and I will definitely be able to get better conditions than your Dachengfu.

For a while, farmers in various provinces who were idle and wanting agricultural machinery rushed to Bangkok and came to the gate of the Agricultural Association to hold a sign.

Two to three hundred people came from one government, and in a blink of an eye, two to three thousand people gathered at the entrance of the Agricultural Association.

Although Bangkok is the largest city in Thailand, the sudden protest of 20,000 to 30,000 people is also a big event. For a time, all the Thai media focused their attention on the Agricultural Association.
