Several young people all gathered around Zhong Yunqi and looked at him expectantly.
"Let's go back to the town committee first, and then we'll talk in the conference room!" Zhong Yunqi glanced around and then said.
The people in the town are happily discussing the matter of offering sacrifices. It is too noisy here and is not suitable for discussion.
Several people nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the town committee office.
The town committee was the original seat of the government.
When the ancient town was first built, residents from nearby villages and towns were gathered together to live in the ancient town.
The current town committee used to be a temporary residence for incoming officials.
Nowadays, there are no official duties anymore.
After liberation, it was naturally transformed into a location for government offices.
The office is a bit crude.
However, this does not affect everyone's work.
In order not to damage the buildings in the ancient town, even the repairs in the ancient town are carried out according to their original appearance.
When this place was converted into the town committee, naturally no major changes were made!
Ignoring the excitement in the town outside, several young people sat around the table in the conference room.
Including Zhong Yunqi, there were five people in total.
Three of them are primary school teachers in the town.
Five people are almost equal to all the education and government personnel in the ancient town.
For such a big town, the population is not small.
But with just such a few people, it does feel shabby.
But there is no other way. Many people would rather give up their jobs than come to such a remote and remote mountainous place that is almost isolated from the world.
Of these five people, except for one who was a teacher in the ancient town, the other four had just arrived.
After Zhong Yunqi graduated from university, he took the initiative to apply to return to his hometown to carry out grassroots construction. Among the three of them, one was his classmate, and the other two accepted voluntary work and came to teach.
In this way, four people arrived at once, plus the elementary school teachers who came to the ancient town in the past few years, there were five people in total.
With five people, there aren't that many distinctions between high and low positions.
But most of the time, Zhong Yunqi takes the lead among the group of people.
After all, Zhong Yunqi is a leader who has been approved and authorized. Strictly speaking, he is the current mayor of the ancient town and is officially recognized.
His grandfather Zhong Yuanshan was the former mayor of the town.
However, the mayor of Zhong Yuanshan is recognized by everyone in the ancient town, but he does not exist in the official establishment outside.
At this moment, several people were looking at Zhong Yunqi, waiting for him to speak and explain clearly what he had not finished talking about in the square outside.
Zhong Yunqi thought for a while and then said:
"You are able to give up your life in big cities outside and come to this mountain to help people here. As a person born here, I am deeply grateful to you.
Here, Teacher Wang is older, and we should all listen to your instructions more, but today’s meeting, I, Zhong Yunqi, asked the freshman to preside over it!"
The teacher Wang mentioned by Zhong Yunqi is the original primary school teacher in the ancient town. He has been here for almost three years.
For more than three years, he has almost integrated into this ancient town and taught many children here how to read and write.
"Hey, Xiaoqi, you are being too modest. I am a few years older than you, but I am not as capable as you young people.
I can only teach the children here to read and read. I don’t understand what you are talking about about construction, getting rich, and technology!" Wang Xingping waved his hand quickly and said.
In the beginning, Wang Xingping was not the only teacher who came to the ancient town.
However, the others came back for a while and then went back, leaving Wang Xingping alone.
Due to limited conditions, the learning content of children in the ancient town is naturally not as rich as that of children in big cities outside.
Therefore, a teacher has to teach various subjects at the same time.
The most basic ones, such as Chinese, mathematics, and physical education, are all taught by one person.
Now, with the arrival of two more teachers, teaching the children in the town has become much easier than before.
Regarding Zhong Yunqi's leadership of the meeting, Wang Xingping, the oldest person here, has no objection, so naturally the other people who are about the same age as Zhong Yunqi have no objection either!
After Zhong Yunqi nodded, he began to speak.
The first thing is to summarize the work plan and results progress during this period.
During this time, their work has not been going smoothly.
Regarding the new plan of “developing tourism to make everyone rich”, it is still in the stage of theoretical conception.
Zhong Yunqi also conducted an objective analysis of the reasons leading to this situation.
After listening, several other people nodded.
Indeed, what Zhong Yunqi said is an intuitive contradiction that currently exists.
These are all things everyone knows, Zhong Yunqi just made a summary.
Next, what a few people want to hear most is the solution!
"When I was in the square just now, I was thinking about something and no doubt heard Comrade Li Qijie talking about the Panwang Festival in their hometown.
This gave me great inspiration.
Previously, we have been thinking about how to correct the ideas of people in the town and let them believe in science and not be superstitious!
But we didn't succeed!
So, can we solve it from another angle?
I think there is absolutely no need for us to stop people from offering sacrifices. We can just treat this matter like the Panwang Festival in Comrade Li Qijie and his hometown!"
Zhong Yunqi opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Several people suddenly fell into thinking.
"I still have reservations!" After thinking for a while, one of them said.
Some people objected, but Zhong Yunqi didn't think it was a big deal and said:
"Comrade Zhou Peng, tell me what you think!"
"The Panwang Festival in Comrade Li Qijie's hometown is just a formal event to worship ancestors. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a gathering of the famous Yao people!
This kind of gathering is completely within the acceptable and allowable scope.
However, our current sacrificial activities in ancient towns waste precious food resources and carry out actual sacrificial activities.
Moreover, one is to worship ancestors, and the other is to worship false so-called gods.
The two are essentially very different and cannot be equated!" Zhou Peng expressed his thoughts.
After listening to it, several other people thought for a while and nodded slightly, feeling that his point of view was reasonable.
