Chapter 22 The Land of Longxing
When the van Lu Zheng and others were riding, they entered Matouying Town when it was getting dark. The leaders of Qinglong County and Matouying Township were waiting at the entrance of the village. As soon as the car stopped, the county party secretary Wang Nibang took the lead and surrounded Yumen.
Lu Zheng got out of the car and shook hands with them one by one with a smile.
Lu Zheng has never been to Qinglong since he left the position of Qinglong County Party Committee Secretary. This time he revisited the old place, and he felt a lot of emotion. When he shook hands with his old subordinates, he couldn't help but feel emotional and said affectionately: "Thank you, comrades for coming to pick me up for your hard work. I am very grateful. The year in Qinglong is a year when I, Lu Zheng, and I work together and work together to improve together. I hope this is also a period of time worth remembering in our lives."
"Secretary Lu, our Qinglong Yumen will always be your soldiers." A young Yumen shouted excitedly with a red face on the side.
Xiaoyu's army is a propaganda in Matouying Township, named Wang Xiaoshun. When Lu Zheng was in Matouying, he gave him a lot of advice on his work. In Wang Xiaoshun's eyes, this great leader was like a kind father.
Zhao Pingfan glanced at Wang Xiaoshun and didn't blame him for shouting in anger. Isn't this also his own voice?
He was placed in the position of Party Secretary of Matouying Township by Secretary Lu, managing Matouying, the poorest and most chaotic town in Qinglong, and exploring the collective agricultural development path of the small commune. Many people think it is a chore, and their lovers often chew on their ears, saying that Chairman Lu values you so much, but you go to the city to do activities. How can you gilt in the poor town? Almost, you should move, it's just like Chairman Lu's words.
However, Zhao Pingfan remembered that Secretary Lu called himself for dinner the night before he left Qinglong. He gave him a sincere request to him during the meal. The heavy trust made it difficult for Zhao Pingfan to himself, and he could not let him down.
Thinking of getting to know Secretary Lu, Zhao Pingfan was thinking like a tide. When Lu Zheng shook hands with him, Zhao Pingfan's nose was a little blocked. Looking at Lu Zheng's familiar warm smile, Zhao Pingfan almost burst into tears.
Standing aside from a distance and looking at this scene coldly, Jiang Haiyan didn't know why, the four words "The Land of Dragons" popped up in her mind.
When I returned to Guangning, no one welcomed me with such sincere feelings. Lu Zheng had only been in Qinglong for a year. How did this human heart be convinced?
Perhaps, this is the difference between men and women. The courage displayed by men is courage. If women are too strong, they will stay away from each other. Men can have a heart-to-heart talk with others at the dinner table. Women, strong female leaders, have no chance to get along alone with their subordinates.
Wang Nibang and Yu's troops came over to shake hands with Jiang Haiyan and Director Zhou, and Zhou Daqing interrupted her messy thoughts.
When Wang Nibang heard Zhou Daqing's introduction, this was Jiang Haiyan, deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, was very surprised. He admired Jiang Haiyan's name for a long time and had seen it from afar at some city conferences. I remember that he was a scary woman wearing glasses?
Surprised, Wang Nibang had a smile on his face and said a cliché that welcomed the leader to Qinglong for inspection work, etc.
Matouying is very small, and there are no passers-by in the remote areas. The state-owned hotel in the planned economy era has closed down a few years ago. Zhao Pingfan is prepared for the accommodation of Lu Zheng and others. One is to prepare for the dormitory in the village; the other is to invite a farmer in Xiaowangzhuang to prepare for it. If the old secretary wants to go to the village to live, he can live in his home.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Call Director Haiyan and Nibang to return to the county and come back tomorrow. Ordinary, let's go to Li Lao Nian's house in Xiaowangzhuang to deal with it for a night. We, a bunch of people, live in the countryside, which is to cause trouble for farmers. We have to give land to us, and we have to serve us. So what are we thinking about when we go down? To be an official? Let's go to Li Lao Nian's house."
Zhao Pingfan couldn't help but hesitate, scratched his head and said, "It's good, but Li Lao Nian is married."
Lu Zheng was stunned and said, "Are you married? He has not been bachelor for more than ten years?"
Zhao Pingfan said: "Yes, but do you often live in his house if you don't go to the countryside? He always talks about you outside and brags about you, saying that you are so familiar with him, but it's better. If a girl really marry him, she is a yellow girl, seven or eight years younger than him."
Everyone around them laughed, obviously thinking that this little episode was quite interesting. Someone said, "The old secretary accidentally gave me a couple. I should go and ask for a thank-you wine."
Lu Zheng frowned and said, "I don't think it's right." He went to the countryside to live in his home many times, but it became a privilege that made him a reality. This kind of society must have problems.
Zhao Pingfan could especially touch Lu Zheng's pulse. No one knew what Lu Zheng meant, but he knew it. He quickly smiled and said, "It's not all because of you. It's mainly because of the side job of the small commune last year. The vegetables were harvested well. Li Lao Nian was willing to endure hardships and had a lot of work points. The commune paid the reward. He received the first level. And during the slack farming period, he also listened to you and went to Guangning for a while. In addition, the vegetable situation this year is gratifying. Seeing that he was able to become prosperous in his life, he became a capable man in Xiao Wangzhuang. That's why a girl was willing to marry him."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly. Xiaowangzhuang is part of the economy of the small commune. Since last year, orchards have been planted in barren mountains but suitable for fruit trees. Some farmland has been planned as vegetable fields. The commune arranges side-business vegetables and uniformly takes them to Qinglong County, Guangning and even Wushan for sale. This reflects the advantages of collective economy over the small peasant economy. If you grow vegetables at home, you can sell them at your doorstep. If you can't sell them, you will rot. However, if you take them to the developed economy, you can often sell them at a good price. Especially the vegetables in the small commune are mostly cabbage and garlic shoots, which require technicians to help guide the technology. It is not like before. When talking about growing vegetables, they must be all cabbage and tomatoes. They are taken to the city, which is not enough for the car and horse fee.
Wang Nibang asked next to him: "Chairman Lu, have you used food?" According to the old leader's habit, he must have bought Yuliang on the road to eat, but Wang Nibang and others kept their stomachs.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll have some hungry, so let's have a meal first. There are still Matouying Hotel? I'll stay in the village dormitory tonight."
That night, the Matouying State-owned Hotel became lively. The leaders from the city and county, and the chefs naturally cheered up, showed off their skills, fryed, cooked and fried, and the aroma of the dishes floated up the long street.
After dinner, Lu Zheng and others moved into the dormitory in the village and took a walk in the bungalow. Although the conditions were very simple, the cleaning was especially clean.
Lu Zheng and Zhao Pingfan talked at night, from the blueprint of rural construction to the route of reform and development in Wushan, from small communes to township enterprises to state-owned enterprises, Lu Zheng talked a lot, and many things were shocking to Zhao Pingfan, and even difficult to understand for a while. He just listened silently and remembered silently.
The next morning, the van took Lu Zheng and his team to Xiaowangzhuang. The dirt road was bumpy. Lu Zheng stopped at the Guangqing Highway where he was repaired and got off the villages in the northern part of Matouying. Almost all the loess roads and rugged mountain roads were covered with loess roads and rugged mountain roads.
In the Xiaowangzhuang Village Branch, which is like a dilapidated house, the villagers heard that Secretary Lu had returned and surrounded the three floors inside and three floors outside. Wang Ergen, an armed committee member of Matouying Township and the director of Matouying Police Station, was sweating nervously and could only try his best to maintain order.
The village party secretary Lao Chen was a stubborn temper. When the village arranged for Xiao Wangzhuang to plant fruit trees and vegetables, he was very resistant. He felt that as a rural person, growing grains and grains was the duty. He took so much land to do side jobs. What should I do if the grain was not harvested? What should I do if I didn’t pay enough for public grain? But as an old party member, I couldn’t take the lead in disobeying the opinions of the township party committee, let alone, I heard that this was what Secretary Lu of the county party committee meant.
Old Chen thought at that time that Secretary Lu was a child, and he didn't understand rural work and was blindly instructing. It seemed that something would happen sooner or later.
Who knew that a year had passed, and before the Spring Festival this year, the village calculated the details of last year. The whole village could pay hundreds of yuan per household for the first time. At that time, the whole village was celebrating with drums and drums. However, if he wanted to express his gratitude to Secretary Lu, Secretary Lu was transferred to Guangning after New Year's Day.
Old Chen waited for a few months after saying thank you. He held Lu Zheng's hand, blushed and thick-necked, admitting his mistakes, and apologized to Secretary Lu on behalf of the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang, saying that a year ago, they had been muttering bad words from Secretary Lu behind their backs.
Zhao Pingfan said next to him that the villages managed by the small commune had good income last year. Some villages in the village were very interested. Some of them held villagers' meetings to discuss, hoping to be incorporated into the collective economic zone. Several village party secretaries chased him all day, just asking for "entering the community".
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Collective agriculture has the advantages of collective agriculture, but this advantage must be viewed in the long run. In fact, the income of our collective economic experimental zone in such a short time is due to an information asymmetry. Wushan is developing faster and faster, and citizens will no longer satisfy the few vegetable species such as cabbage and tomatoes. In addition, the vegetable market is fully opened, so we are ahead."
"But if you just want to make a fortune by selling summer vegetables, it is unrealistic. Therefore, our economic experimental zone is the small commune you mentioned. How to plan and go depends on the long term. It depends on the joint efforts of Comrade Zhao Pingfan and everyone."
Old Chen and the villagers were not able to understand Lu Zheng's words, but they still applauded warmly. Old Chen said, "I understand one thing, Secretary Lu is our leader and our benefactor." The villagers agreed one after another.
Secretary Lu is now the leader of the city. He has not forgotten Qinglong or Xiaowangzhuang. He is very approachable and chats with everyone. The villagers feel warm.
Zhao Pingfan introduced the purchase of fertilizers this year, saying that thanks to the expansion of Guangning Fertilizer Plant, we all benefited from the neighboring counties. Moreover, this year, Guangning Fertilizer Plant specially allocated some of the planned fertilizers to support Qinglong, which is much cheaper than buying bargaining fertilizers outside.
These are all good things that Secretary Lu did for Qinglong and for the villagers of Matouying. They were the matchmaking process by Secretary Lu when he was in Guangning. Now, Guangning Fertilizer Factory will vigorously support Qinglong’s poverty alleviation work.
Lu Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "It's really support from all directions. However, if we want to get rid of poverty and achieve prosperity, relying solely on external blood transfusion is not enough. Moreover, over time, we will become lazy people. Blood transfusion is not as good as blood production. We must take the initiative to seek development and learn to take advantage of our advantages, such as fruit and melon industry. Once it develops, it will be amazing. I also hope that we can get rid of poor counties as soon as possible. The hat of poor townships can set an example for the development of all poor areas."
