Xue Xiang arrived at Ma Tou Township at 4:30 in the afternoon. After arriving in Ma Tou Township, he did not go anywhere else. He turned directly from the trail to Qiaokou Village. It was this village that originally came to the village because of the Lao Guan Kou Dam.
He kowtowed to appeal and ended up being imprisoned. Thanks to meeting Xue Xiang, he was able to escape.
Ma Tou Township is already a barren place, and Qiaokou Village is even more troubled. Xue Xiang came here to see if there were any changes in this village.
The car turned to the entrance of the village, and it was no longer possible to ride, because the tall grass and bamboos almost blocked all the roads. Xue Xiang stood on a high place, leaning on the car and looking at it. The quiet village seemed to be still the same.
It has the same appearance, low and shabby, and if there is no change at all, it is not, at least, the shabby one I saw before.
The shabby huts were all covered with mud, and what made Xue Xiang even more happy was that it was far from dinner time, and smoke was already rising from many houses. This was something he could not imagine before, and he still
I remember that time I came to Qiaokou Village, few people made a fire at noon, and everyone was squatting on the threshold, eating cold food.
The curling smoke from the cooking pot drifted away with the gentle breeze, bringing with it a faint fragrance of rice. Xue Xiang twitched his nose and sniffed greedily, as if he was sniffing the most precious smell in the world.
Far away from the hut, there are patches of farmland. In early spring, the shepherd's purse is green, and what you see is a large green sea. In the depths of this green sea, a few spots of light yellow occasionally appear, and the light yellow sways from time to time. Xue Xiang
With sharp eyes, he immediately recognized that he was a farmer wearing the same straw hat as himself.
The best place to collect folk customs is in this field. Xue Xiang stopped his car and ran down from a high place. He passed through a waist-high wormwood forest and walked for a while. Xue Xiang finally got closer.
The nearest farmer.
"Fellow, you are busy!"
Xue Xiang stood on the ridge, smiled and said hello to the farmer who was bending over to pull weeds.
"Isn't this nonsense? I didn't see Zhengba... Hey, County Magistrate Xue!"
The farmer had just finished speaking when he raised his head and recognized Xue Xiang.
Xue Xiang is not surprising. He has a very high appearance rate in Ma Tou Township, especially in Qiaokou Village. When the embankment was built, he was in the same trench as the villagers in Qiaokou Village. However, now, the farmer
The person raised his head, but Xue Xiang felt that it was a coincidence.
, it turns out that this person is Fang Laoshi from Qiaokou Village. When Xue Xiang first arrived in Xiaoshan County, it was this guy who led a dozen villagers to kowtow and cry out for injustice at the boundary marker. Later, when the embankment was bermed, it was also this guy who came up with the idea to let
Military reserves were used.
"Old Fang, it's you!"
Xue Xiang smiled and took out his cigarette case and threw out a cigarette.
"It's me. It's me. Do you think it's a coincidence or not?"
Fang Laoshi caught the cigarette. He ran his hands over his clothes alternately, stepped onto the field ridge in two steps, grabbed Xue Xiang's clothes, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go to my house for dinner. There's nothing to say today."
I can’t let you run away again. Last time I gave the girls and teachers back wages, I didn’t catch up!”
Xue Xiang said with a smile: "I'm really not good at it today. I just go to the countryside to do errands. I pass by here and take a look around. There are still a lot of things in the county."
Xue Xiang naturally refused to agree, because he knew that when he left, all the good things stored in Fang Laoshi's home would probably be emptied. Of course, these good things were nothing more than bacon, eggs, chickens, ducks, etc., but in the farmhouse
He said that these were life-saving things. It was easy for Xue Xiang to eat them up and move his legs, but what he would be left with would be a huge deficit.
This Xue Xiang has already had experience. Earlier, when he went to the countryside, wasn't it the same? People heard that it was Xue Yulu, so he didn't even want to pay. Later, when he went to the countryside again, Xue Xiang would bring dry food himself if he could. If there was nothing he could do.
.
Fang Laoshi knew that Xue Xianggui was busy and couldn't persuade him any more, so he pulled Xue Xiang to chat for a while, but he got into Xue Xianggui's trap.
Fang Laoshi lit the cigarette and sat on the stem. Xue Xiang started talking and asked about the harvest at home. Fang Laoshi took up the topic and started talking nonstop.
Perhaps Xue Xiang was by his side, and Fang honestly took care of his status as an official and tried his best to talk about the good things. He said that Lao Guankou was irrigating the fields and the harvest was guaranteed. He also said that there were a lot fewer officials in the village and the province would be provincial this year.
Fang was honestly happiest when he went to Fengle Township to do a side job last winter and helped the Infrastructure Department move a handful of bricks. He and his son earned a total of more than 60 yuan...
…
Fang Laoshi kept talking non-stop. After talking about his income, he also talked about his family life. Although he used some modifications, Xue Xiang could still tell that his family was still not very generous.
After listening to Fang Laoshi for more than half an hour, Xue Xiang felt that he had gained more than if he had read documents in a day. First of all, he knew the actual effect of having better troops and simpler administration. For example, what Fang Laoshi said about the money for military service was just that.
It was originally used to support village officials. Although these ten yuan are small, they are still about a hundred kilograms of food. The savings are enough to feed the whole family for half a month.
Secondly, he found out the specific impact of the construction of Xiaoshan Port on the people at the lowest level. Each household can earn more than 60 yuan a month there. This amount satisfied Xue Xiang, but while he was satisfied, he also sighed at this
The work cannot be done for a long time, and it cannot be scaled up.
Finally, he knew that Xiaoshan's economy was booming, but the lives of ordinary people were still difficult. At least the people in this remote place still lived almost as poor a life as before.
Xue Xiang lit another cigarette for Fang Laoshi. It was getting late and he was about to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, suddenly, two thin figures jumped out from the ground. They were a man and a woman, two six or seven-year-old children.
The two dolls were all dirty. One held a water snake as small as a little finger in his hand and shouted for dinner in the evening. The other had a button on his hand with purslane and threw him into Fang Laoshi's arms to act like a baby.
Listening to the names, Xue Xiang knew that these two children were both Fang Laoshi's grandson and granddaughter.
As soon as he asked the two children how old they were, Xue Xiang's heart dropped.
It was obvious that these two children were so old that they should be in school at this time, or had just stepped out of school and were about to go home, but looking at their appearance, it was clear that they were not in school.
Xue Xiang knew what was going on without even opening his mouth, but what could he say? Could it be that he should analyze with Fang Laoshi whether studying is the only way to change the fate of children from poor families, or should he say that nine-year compulsory education is our country's
Basic national policy?
Xue Xiang took out two five-yuan bills and stuffed them into the arms of the two children. Without waiting for Fang Laoshi to recover, he took big steps and walked away far away. After a while, he walked into the grassland and put his head behind his ears.
Fang Laoshi's shout came.
On the way back, Xue Xiang was riding very fast. He was in a bad mood. It was exactly this: What man would not feel sad when he saw such desolate things in the world.
After careful calculation, Fang Laoshi's family was not in such hardship. Seeing those two babies running around in the fields, Xue Xiang felt sad.
If we say that Xue Laosan is just an ordinary bureaucrat, that's it. The county's economy is booming and he, Secretary Xue, has outstanding political achievements and is waiting for promotion.
But Xue Laosan is not an ordinary official. What he wants to do is to manage the world and benefit the people, and then help the world.
At present, Xiaoshan's problems are already very prominent. Almost like the republics of later generations, the economic development is unbalanced. This imbalance does not refer to the unbalanced industrial structure, but the disparity between rich and poor, with huge local differences.
The same is true for Xiaoshan today. On the whole, it can be said to be full of vitality. Most people have embarked on the road to wealth. A small number of people, such as the first batch of farmers in Xinzhuang who put in greenhouse vegetables, have almost embarked on the road to sudden wealth. Others like
There are still many families like Fang Laoshi who are almost standing still.
Of course Xue Xiang doesn't want Xiaoshan to become half iceberg and half sea of fire, but to change this situation, there is almost no other way except Xiaoshan's leap forward development. This is like Pengcheng nowadays.
It's just a small fishing village
, it was only after the spring breeze of reform and opening up that it was able to rise thousands of miles. At the beginning of the reform, Pengcheng must have encountered difficulties like Xiaoshan. For example, places closer to the coast would definitely develop first, and as development deepens
, can benefit the whole city.
Of course Xue Xiang can wait. He believes that even if he has left Xiaoshan, as long as Xiaoshan Port is established, remote farmers like Fang Laoshi will definitely benefit from it. This is due to the geographical advantage.
But if Xue Xiang could wait, could the two clay dolls in the field afford it? Xue Xiang knew that it was time to make some changes!
Back in the office, Xue Xiang summoned Mao Youcai and asked him to send Xiaoshan County's financial details for this year. After a while, he closed the doors and windows, turned on the desk lamp, leaned in front of the case, and read quietly.
Speaking of which, there is really too much money left on the books, a total of more than 7.5 million, and this is after taking into account this year's entire fiscal budget and not counting this year's fiscal revenue.
It is said that money is a person's courage. For a landowner, the finance of a county is not his courage. Seeing this abundant cash flow, the stagnation in Xue Xiang's heart suddenly disappeared, and his lofty ambitions suddenly emerged.
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
Xue Laosan was just thinking about how to spend this huge sum of money when the phone on the table suddenly buzzed. He reached out to pick it up. Before he could speak, a hearty laugh came from the other side, "Hahaha... Lao San, no."
Thinking of the great situation you did in Xiaoshan!"
Hearing the voice, Xue Xiang knew who it was and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, where did you start with these words? I am a small deputy secretary of the county party committee, and you are a big secretary of the provincial party committee. You said that my situation has become big. This
Aren’t you burying people?”
It was Xu Ziqian who was on the other end of the phone, "Don't talk nonsense. If I hadn't heard from Chief Zhenhua, I would have just thought that your port was just a small puddle. How could I have imagined that you, a guy, could attract more than 30 million yuan?"
U.S. dollars, it took two years to dig out a hole in the dirt, but I asked you to dig out a golden egg..."
As soon as he heard Chief Zhenhua's words, Xue Laosan subconsciously tightened his bladder. He couldn't help but feel nervous. This was a conditioned reflex derived from years of experience and lessons, because almost every time he was paid attention to by Chief Zhenhua, Xue Laosan was sure to
Nothing happened, he subconsciously thought, "Maybe I have to move again."
ps: The flowers have faded in spring, it’s too hasty... Actually, I wanted to say, everyone go to bed early! See you tomorrow!
(Shame on you, actually the second chapter is my rhythm, there will be more in a hundred chapters, don’t worry about that, see you tomorrow!)
