Qin Fan knew this very well. He had seen the school halfway up the mountain and there were only two small classrooms.
Qin Fan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, they will come back in the future. So, since we want to build, we should do it according to the centenary plan."
Yu Fuchun, Deng Bixian and Wang Chaohui all looked at each other.
"Mr. Qin, do you have any other plans?" Yu Fuchun asked suspiciously.
"Hahaha, it's not mature yet. I'll tell you when the plan is mature, but you have to believe that man can conquer nature."
Qin Fan laughed loudly, leaving the three of them in great suspense.
"All right."
All three of them could only hold back their curiosity.
Afterwards, several people chatted about other things.
Qin Fan asked by the way the current fields of the three villages, how many laborers there were, etc.
More than an hour passed without realizing it.
The sky also darkened.
Nights in mountainous areas are much cooler than in cities, but there are more mosquitoes than in cities.
"Mr. Qin, two village chiefs, we have dinner." Yang Liu came out wearing an apron.
"Come on, let's go eat!" Yu Fuchun stood up and greeted a few people.
Yang Liu was busy for more than three hours, making stewed chicken soup, fried chicken offal, fried peanuts and several side dishes.
On the table is a bottle of koji wine worth more than ten yuan.
"It's so rich..." Qin Fan said.
But he couldn't speak anymore. He saw that there were clearly many small golden eggs on the plate of fried chicken.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, you have killed the chickens that lay the eggs."
"That's right, I can't even try to persuade you." Phoenix Girl said.
"It's okay, come on, come on, please take a seat. It's rare for the two village chiefs and Mr. Qin and you to come to my house today." Yu Fuchun waved his hand generously.
"Mr. Qin, it doesn't matter. This is the only thing in the countryside to entertain you." Deng Bixian also persuaded.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, you two village chiefs, please don't think that I am not good at my craftsmanship." Yang Liu said.
The old hen has been killed. If you don't eat it, you will really feel ashamed of Fuchun and Yangliu.
Qin Fan nodded, "Okay, let's all sit down and eat."
He felt very sorry, which strengthened his determination to make this place rich.
Everyone sat down around the wooden table.
Yu Fuchun opened the koji wine and poured a little for everyone without saying any more polite words.
Everyone chatted while eating.
Qin Fan also learned a lot of truth from their conversation.
In order to help Maoerling get rid of poverty and become rich, the town government has thought of many ways and called on the villagers to grow fruits and engage in breeding, but the results have not been great.
Later, they launched rural tourism and tried to develop the natural scenery of Maoerling.
But the local area has no special characteristics and cannot attract tourists and investors.
Think about it, the local area has no special features. Is it possible to come here just to see the mountains?
That is obviously not possible. I want to invest in artificially creating scenic spots, but I am worried that this kind of investment will be a bottomless pit.
Maybe it will just go down the drain and lose everything.
Listen to the accounts of three village chiefs.
The grand blueprint in Qin Fan's heart is becoming more and more mature.
The dinner ended after more than an hour.
Qin Fan asked Deng Bi and Wang Chaohui to go back first and wait for his call tomorrow.
The two of them said goodbye and left.
There are many unused rooms in rural areas, so Yu Fuchun arranged for Xiaowen and Yuwen Xiangwan to live together, and also let two women, Phoenix Girl and Yang Liu, live in one room.
He and Qin Fan lived in another room.
Qin Fan looked at the time, it happened to be nine o'clock in the evening.
When he came to Xiaoyuanba, he first sent photos and short videos of the day to Yuan Chengzhong's WeChat.
He also left a message to Yuan Chengzhong explaining the location.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I dialed Yuan Chengzhong's phone number.
Yuan Chengzhong over there answered the call quickly.
Qin Fan explained the actual situation here to Yuan Chengzhong.
As the mayor of a city, Yuan Chengzhong is also very aware of the situation within his jurisdiction.
"Mr. Qin, I have seen the photos and videos. To be honest, Maoerling has always been one of the three poorest villages in the city."
"It's not just a long-standing problem in Meizhou County, it's also a heartache in Linhai City."
Yuan Chengzhong sighed, "Meizhou County has changed its town leaders several times for the sake of Maoerling's education and the villagers' prosperity."
"You don't know something. There is a saying among Meizhou County officials that they would rather be a town clerk than a Maoerling village official."
"Nowadays, grassroots cadres are required to be younger. If you look at the village officials in Maoerling, they are all approaching retirement age."
Indeed, Qin Fan also saw today that among the three village chiefs, only Deng Bixian is younger, while Yu Fuchun and Wang Chaohui are both approaching sixty years old.
After a pause, Yuan Chengzhong continued to express his bitterness.
"You don't know, there is an old saying among local families who have daughters, it would be better for Jia to leave the country than to marry Maoerling."
When Qin Fan heard this, he burst out laughing.
This vividly describes the fact that due to poverty and backwardness in the local area, even getting married and finding a wife is a problem.
It seems that Mayor Yuan is also very worried.
Yuan Chengzhong heard Qin Fan's laughter and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Qin, you can still laugh."
"Whenever I mention Maoerling, I feel like crying. I have tried many methods, but to no avail."
"When a place becomes poor, the villagers will try their best to move away, but those fertile fields will become abandoned."
"I once arranged for someone to invest and investigate, but guess what, the investor only walked half the way and then returned home."
"They say that place is too remote and the infrastructure is too poor, so it is not suitable for investment."
If he hadn't come in person and only listened to Yuan Chengzhong's bitter words, Qin Fan might still not believe it.
But now he has seen firsthand the reality on the ground.
Qin Fan smiled.
"Mayor Yuan, I have a way to change the current situation in Maoerling. I wonder if you are willing to listen."
"Ah...you really have a way?"
"Yes, I'm not disturbing you so late just to reminisce about old times." Qin Fan joked with a smile.
Whether it is donating to build a Hope Primary School or using fields to grow Chinese herbal medicine, these are matters related to the livelihood of the local people.
With Yuan Chengzhong's strong support, things will become easy.
Yuan Chengzhong suddenly became energetic and said, "Mr. Qin, as long as you have a way, Linhai City will give you the green light.
Then, Qin Fan talked about his plans to donate to build a Hope Primary School.
Later, he briefly talked to Yuan Chengzhong about growing Chinese herbal medicine.
When Yuan Chengzhong heard this, he immediately became excited.
"The villagers are responsible for planting, and the sister flower company is responsible for purchasing, which ensures the farmers' income to a certain extent and the value is fully reflected."
"Cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine in large areas is the characteristic of rural tourism. Then we can develop farmhouses and develop natural scenic area tourism."
"I hope that the primary school has complete supporting facilities and the children can get a good education..."
"Mr. Qin, your idea is great, I support you! As long as I see the effect, I will save my money and pave asphalt roads in Maoerling."
Qin Fan also nodded secretly in his heart.
Although it is impossible to expand roads through mountains, build bridges over mountains, change the current cement roads to asphalt roads, and upgrade infrastructure, it is also a good thing.
"Okay, Mayor Yuan, then we've decided." Qin Fan said with a smile.
"Well, I will make arrangements immediately. You ask your people to go to Meizhou County tomorrow."
"OK."
Both parties hung up the phone happily.
Qin Fan thought for a while and dialed Li Caiwei's phone number again.
He wanted to communicate with Li Caiwei in advance whether growing Chinese herbal medicine would be possible. Li Caiwei from Sister Flower Company was a key figure.
