"I mean, yes, let's use your metaphor. You just said that two fish can make a family happy for half a month. Three yuan is enough for a child's registration fee for a year, but you still
Have you ever thought about it, if you save these two fish, it will last only half a month, but after half a month, it won’t be enough.
Should we suffer, should we suffer, should we be greedy, should we be greedy? As for the three yuan, it is enough for the registration fee at best, but if the children want to go to school, it is not just the registration fee, pens, ink,
Water-packed stationery is free of charge. Can we, the people of Yunjin, afford it?
The old man was dumbfounded and smoked. He had never been to school, and he only learned a little bit of culture after joining the army. The one he had dealt with the most with words was the Chairman's Quotations. With such a level, he could not be Xue Laosan's opponent.
The old man was smoking heavily, and the gurgling smoke was almost catching up with the movement in the pot. After a while, he scratched his neck and said: "I won't listen to anything else. If you officials are capable, the people of Yunjin will not suffer from poverty."
There will be no trouble. You are the secretary of Yunjin. Let me ask you, what is the per capita annual income of ordinary people in Yunjin, how much is the basic expenditure, how much is the farmland output, how much is the per capita retention..."
Xue Xiang was silent. It wasn't that he didn't know the data, but he just couldn't tell it, because the real data was really scary.
Judging from that data, instead of benefiting the people, the government is suspected of extortionate taxation.
"Say, why don't you say it?"
The old man banged the cigarette pot hard and glared at Xue Xiang: "I'm going to tell you frankly, in recent years, if the people of Yunjin didn't rely on making troubles and some subsidies, they wouldn't be able to survive for a long time. You think you're just a common people?"
No
Afraid of death, don’t give up your life, soldiers are coming with guns, and they are still rushing up? No! As long as there is a little way to survive, who is willing to risk his life? If he is really poor and has no choice, then there is nothing to be afraid of
Well..."
Xue Laosan finally saw that the old man in front of him was not just a party member who fully met the exaggerated requirements in the party constitution. He was clearly the kind of person the leader said was "a person who serves the people wholeheartedly."
Seeing through this, Xue Laosan saw through the old man's trump card. After seeing through the trump card, there was no reason to lose in this round.
But he said that at this moment, the old man looked excited and indignant. Xue Laosan knew that it was useless to talk to the old man at this moment. He simply ignored the old man, picked up the earthen bowl on the edge of the stove, and opened the lid of the pot.
, without using a spatula, he put his bowl into the pot and scooped out a full bowl. He picked up the chopsticks and scooped it up into his mouth. While doing so, he shouted that it was good and commented on the quality of the sweet potato porridge.
The old man was staring blankly at it when Xue Laosan had already finished the second bowl and put his bowl into the pot again.
At this time, the old man became anxious and grabbed a bald wooden ladle from the water tank beside the stove. He followed Xue Laosan's example and scooped up half the ladle. Then he was relieved and said, "You kid will starve to death."
Reincarnation as a ghost? This is my old man’s daily ration. If you mess it up, you won’t even have a place to look for lunch.”
While talking, he bent down and picked out a charcoal-black pickled radish from the jar, rinsed it with water, cut it in half, and threw half into Xue Laosan's bowl, "Okay, let's have dinner, and leave quickly, you
My old man can't afford to feed a big-bellied man."
Xue Laosan carefully bit off a small piece of pickled radish, took a big mouthful of porridge, and said vaguely: "You are too stingy, after all, I am also the secretary of the District Party Committee. You treat me with this porridge and pickles, and I don't even think about it."
I dislike you, but you dislike me!"
The old man glared and said, "What? You look down on porridge and pickles? If the people of Yunjin could afford to eat sweet potato porridge and pickled radish every meal, you wouldn't have to bother me, old man. At that time, you just want others to make trouble.
No one wants to make a fuss."
"What you said is outrageous. How can I look down upon you? How can I look down upon you? How can I eat like this? You are too sensitive."
Xue Laosan shook his head repeatedly, finished eating in twos and twos, and threw away the bowl and chopsticks, "To be honest, letting the people of Yunjin afford sweet potato porridge with pickled radish every day, in my opinion, is nothing more than sesame seeds!"
"What a big deal?"
Scratching the ground, the old man stood up and said, "You kid, you can handle this big thing for me right away!"
Xue Laosan stared at him and said: "You really don't think I'm talking nonsense. If you want to say that every family has a big meal of fish and meat, I may not be able to do it for the time being, but if you want to say that a meal of sweet potato porridge with pickled radish, it will last a year."
, after a year of hard work, I will definitely do it, but the premise is that you always cooperate with me in my work!"
"A year? Really!"
The old man's eyes almost flew out of his sockets. He was stunned for a long time, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He shook his head and said: "It's impossible, it's impossible. You kid deceived my old man. You are not the God of Wealth. You can pull gold and urinate silver!"
It is true that the old man has a heart for the people, and he has served as a cadre of a certain level. However, his thinking is still like that of a peasant, and his vision is extremely narrow. He only focuses on the three melons and two dates in front of him. How to see the long term? In his eyes, two
Feeding a hundred thousand people is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"How is it impossible? You know the things about the new district. In just one month, I solved the problem of employing more than 6,000 people and delivered nearly 400,000 yuan in cash to the people of Yunjin. This is a real achievement!"
"Four hundred thousand, is this true? They earn so much?"
The old man's face was full of disbelief. He knew that the New District Management Committee was engaged in infrastructure construction and that there were a lot of people there, but he didn't expect to earn so much money. "How much do you pay them a day? According to you
Of these four hundred thousand, I’m afraid I’ll lose even one piece of it.”
"Two dollars, just two dollars!"
Xue Xiang stretched out his hand to make a gesture, knowing that the old man was surprised, but he was not very proud of it.
In these days, the gap between workers and peasants is still astonishing. An ordinary worker can earn more than 60 yuan a month, and the annual net income of farmers is diluted to only a dozen or 20 yuan in a single month.
In fact, when it comes to construction site labor, Xue Laosan only works one job a day, but there are also people rushing to do it. He works two jobs, and it has become a desperate business. It is no wonder that the construction team is extremely reluctant to disband.
The reason why Xue Laosan offered such a high wage was not only to win people's hearts for profit, but also to bring some benefits to the local people.
Seeing that the old man's eyes were even more confused, Xue Laosan smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, I don't need to ask you for the bill. Just ask anyone, five to six thousand people, working for thirty days, each person earns two yuan a day.
How much it is is up to you."
"But, this..."
The old man really believed it, but his heart became even more entangled.
Xue Laosan observed the situation and knew that the defense line in the old man's heart was loose, so he continued to attack, "I understand your mood, but always relying on fighting the government to obtain subsidies is not a long-term solution. I have already figured out the plan for the new district. I can follow up.
Please talk about my governance ideas in detail. In addition, you may not understand me personally. I feel it is necessary to introduce myself to you in detail, especially my tenure in the other two places..."
Teacher Xue suddenly transformed into the greatest salesman in the world and began to promote himself crazily. This guy was eloquent and eloquent. He talked about his working experience in Xiaoshan, Kaoshantun, as if telling a story.
The old man sometimes exclaimed, "What, you are the one who made the distribution of farmland to each household", sometimes shouted, "It's impossible, the government doesn't collect grain, how can each unit operate, don't fool me, old man", sometimes waved desperately, "It's so fast."
, you are so rich, it’s raining money from the sky”...
The old man was not the best listener, but he was the best complimenter. If he didn't understand something, Xue Laosan would explain it to him in detail.
After the words were settled, Xue Laosan took out his last trump card, a stack of old newspapers, from his briefcase and handed it to the old man.
The old man took it blankly. At first he didn't know why Xue Laosan was like this. But when he saw the headline on the first page of the page, "Dividing farmland into households is the restoration of the capitalist class," he couldn't take his eyes away, and then he turned to the second page.
Zhang, the third picture...
Raising land, he sighed and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? I will sell you these old bones. I just hope that when my old man closes his eyes, he can see that the villagers can eat solid sweet potato porridge with pickled radish every meal."
!”
It seems that these old newspapers were the reason why the old man changed his mind.
It turns out that these old newspapers were deliberately prepared by Xue Laosan for self-promotion before he came. They were all related to the ideological debates that had arisen in the place where Xue Laosan was in charge over the years, from allocating fields to households, to exempting agricultural taxes.
and free education, etc.
The essence of the debate in this stack of newspapers was incomprehensible to the barely literate old man, but the word "Xue Xiang" between the lines was clearly visible. This shows that what Xue Xiang said before was true.
And for such a good cadre, who is capable and performs his duties well, what reason does Wang Erwa have for not to fully support him?
As far as the big things that he has done, serving as an official, and achieving real achievements that have benefited one party, he, Wang Erwa, must be supported by him.
"Okay, okay, you are a good boy. You are so good. The sky is open. Yun Jin is saved this time. Tell me straight away. What do you want me to do? By the way, you should first tell me how long it will take at the fastest time, folks.
We can live a good life..."
The old man sighed and suddenly became excited. He pulled Xue Xiang's arm and shook it non-stop, spewing out all his problems.
Xue Laosan didn't show any pretense. He first described Yunjin's splendid future to the old man, and then he revealed his purpose, which was nothing more than two.
First, ask the old man to serve as the executive deputy director of the Yunjin New District People's Congress and assist Comrade Wei Lan, director of the New District People's Congress, to complete the election of Yunjin New District People's Congress representatives as soon as possible;
Secondly, please ask the old man to prevent the villagers in the new area from gathering in one place as soon as possible.
However, when Xue Xiangfang revealed his intention, the old man waved his hands repeatedly, "You take it for granted. My old man is not that capable. I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish both of these things." (To be continued...)
