The next day, Xiao Zheng left Tianwa Township and headed to the next township, Grassland Township. In the car, Xiao Zheng and his companions Na Junying, Zhang Chengchuan, and Agriculture Director Dong Changshan talked about Tianwa Township's desire to build a reservoir.
Both Na Junying and Zhang Chengchuan said that this is a big project. If it can be completed, the water problem of the people in Baoyuan County will be fundamentally solved! In addition, it will also lay the foundation for Baoyuan County to transform from barren mountains to green mountains and green waters.
The most solid foundation!
County Agriculture Director Dong Cangshan also said excitedly that the biggest problem restricting the current agricultural development in Baoyuan County is water. Rain causes floods, and no rain causes drought. This is not only a practical problem for Baoyuan, but also the entire Liupan Mountain area agriculture.
Xiao Zheng told Na Junying: "Secretary Na, I believe Comrade Qi Baiyun will come to the county to report on the construction of the reservoir in Tianwa Township in a few days. I will ask him to come to you then. You will be responsible for the overall coordination.
Comrade Zhang Chengchuan is responsible for the resource integration of relevant government departments. At present, he must first clarify the three questions of 'can it be built,' where to build it, and how to build it'!" Both Na Junying and Zhang Chengchuan agreed.
After arriving at Cai Cai Township, Xiao Zheng still looked first and then listened. The car drove to the dirt road at the entrance of the village and started walking from house to house. What a good name Cai Cai Township is! Why is it called Cai Cai Township? That's because more than a hundred years ago,
, this area between the mountains and the northern desert was once dotted with countless small lakes, which nourished the surrounding soil and formed a grassland oasis of more than 1,000 square kilometers. There used to be abundant water and grass here, and cattle and sheep appeared on the wind-blown grass.
.However, overgrazing, indiscriminate deforestation and other improper behaviors have caused this oasis to shrink and wither, turning it into the desert land and Gobi Desert it is today. The name Grassland Township is also in name only. Originally, the grassland cattle and grassland here were
Sheep are a specialty industry, but now that grass and water have become problems, these industries will naturally not develop.
Solving the water source problem, regulating grazing behavior, restoring the vegetation here, and guiding investment in the forest and sand industry are top priorities!
Xiao Zheng spent another day and a half visiting all the villages in Grassland Township. He already had a good idea of the overall situation of the township, people's lives and the main contradictions.
Every time he visited one more township, one more village, one more kilometer he walked, Xiao Zheng could feel that decision-makers must go to the grassroots more and go among the people. They must live as high as temples and far away from the world.
Sitting in the position, you can also see the problem from the perspective of the common people, otherwise it is inevitable to be separated from the masses. The body is more honest than our brain, and where the body is, the heart can be there!
Lying under the drafty farmhouse shed in Prairie Township, drinking water with a strange smell in the desert, only the stars above his head were clean and bright. Xiao Zheng's heart was anxious, and there were still too many things waiting to be done.
There are still too many problems that need to be solved urgently!
After leaving Grassland Township, Xiao Zheng went to Honghe Township. Honghe Township is the township closest to the Jiuqu Yellow River. The Mother River once flowed here, but like many other places that were once favored by the Mother River, because of the
The layers of accumulated sediment were too lazy to be cleaned, causing the mother river to eventually change its course and abandon this land.
According to people in the village, people in Honghe Township now mainly make a living by planting wheat, picking genie, wild fruits and raising pigs. The leader of the township also said that there is another problem in Honghe Township, that is, in some villages, farmers have no income at home.
If you don’t have money, you don’t value education. Many children drop out of school before completing compulsory education. This is normal. When Xiao Zheng heard this, he took it very seriously. For children in poor rural areas, education is the only way to change their lives.
If you haven't graduated from junior high school, it will be empty talk to change your life in the future.
Xiao Zheng came from a farming family in Lushui Village. If he had not gone to college, where would he be now? It is really hard to say. Even if he has family support behind him, if he is not a graduate of a key university, he will not be able to work within the system.
If you are attached to a family, you will only be looked down upon by the family members. If you want to reach your current position, you can't even think about it. Doing good things for the people and solving problems for society is even more powerless.
Therefore, to be a useful person, you must receive education.
Xiao Zheng said to Yao Yonghong, secretary of the Honghe Township Party Committee: "Which village has the worst dropout problem? Please take me to see it." Yao Yonghong said: "Jiuqing Village!" Xiao Zheng said: "Then go to Jiuqing Village and have a look.
!By the way, call the principals of the rural primary schools and junior high schools."
Township Party Committee Secretary Yao Yonghong invited Xiao Zheng and others to sit in the conference room and take a sip of water. He immediately went to notify the principals of the elementary and junior high schools.
About fifteen minutes later, a motorcycle beeped into the township government, and a few minutes later another one came. The one in front was Jiang Qi, the principal of Honghe Junior High School, who was nearly fifty years old and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Her hair was dusty; coming behind was Zhu Xia, the principal of Honghe Central Primary School, who also rode in on an old scooter. She was in her early forties, average-looking, well-proportioned, wearing simple white short-sleeves and black pants. The two of them.
They all met Xiao Zheng under the recommendation of Yao Yonghong. Xiao Zheng shook hands with them and explained the purpose of inviting them here.
Primary school principal Zhu Xia reported that in Jiuqing Village, there are six grades in primary school, and seven children have dropped out of school. The situation is quite serious. Zhu Xia has personally visited many times to do the work, but it has no effect. Those parents
We either say that we are too busy, or that we cannot afford to support our children in studying. In fact, the essential problem is that parents do not pay attention to studying.
Jiang Qi, the principal of the junior high school, also reported that in Jiuqing Village, among the three grades of the junior high school, 4 children have dropped out of school, 2 children have poor grades, 1 child has average grades, and another
A girl is in the second grade of junior high school and her grades are among the best in her grade. She has a good chance of being admitted to a key high school in the county.
Xiao Zheng, Na Junying and others frowned when they heard this. Xiao Zheng thought, I really didn't expect such a situation. The director of education didn't come with him this time, otherwise Xiao Zheng would definitely question him, the children in the county
The dropout situation is so serious, why was it not reported? After returning, Xiao Zheng will definitely want to talk to the Director of Education!
Xiao Zheng and his group got into a car, and asked Principal Xiao Chu to get into the township leader's car, and they went to the village together. The township car led the way, and Xiao Zheng's car followed behind, raising a trail of smoke and dust on the plateau. From the car
After coming down, Xiao Zheng and others arrived at the village together. The village party secretary, village chief and others were also waiting there. Xiao Zheng and others learned about the child's dropout from school with the village party secretary. Deng Youyu, the secretary of Jiuqing Village, said that this is the case in the village.
This persistent problem has something to do with the atmosphere of the village, which is difficult to change in a year and a half. The village chief also said that we have done a lot of work, but the people still don't listen, and would rather let their children work in farming to help early than let them go
There is really no other way to go to school.
Xiao Zheng felt uncomfortable after hearing this. The village party secretary said "it is difficult to change" and the village chief said "there is no way". The thoughts of these two village chief cadres are "very unified", but they just don't do anything! Of course,
Xiao Zheng also restrained himself from getting angry, waiting to see the situation before talking about anything else.
Xiao Zheng followed the village cadres to "Jiuqing Village". What surprised Xiao Zheng was that the roads from the township government to the village were being widened and the roads were smoothed. The car could easily drive to the natural
In the village, there are almost no very dilapidated and dilapidated houses. Some houses are newly built, and some cave dwellings have been obviously reinforced. There are also many pitch pine and camphor trees planted in front of and behind the houses in the village. The appearance of the village
It was much better than the dilapidated condition Xiao Zheng had imagined.
Xiao Zheng asked the village party secretary Deng Youyu: "Old Deng, where did you get the money for building roads, renovating houses and planting trees in this village?" Deng Youyu said: "Secretary Xiao, this is allocated by the township.
"Xiao Zheng looked at Yao Yonghong, secretary of the township party committee. Yao Yonghong immediately replied: "Secretary Xiao, this is the poverty alleviation fund allocated by the county. Our township is luckier than other townships. We have received the two poverty alleviation funds.
There was nothing left, and all of it was used to build roads, build houses for poor households and strengthen cave dwellings. We also planted a lot of trees, hoping to improve the water, soil and air."
Xiao Zheng is very glad that he has not directly criticized township cadres and village cadres before because of dropping out of school. Our party has always emphasized that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Many things must be seen, heard, and thought before making a judgment. Otherwise, it will be better.
It will make the grassroots feel that the leaders are arbitrary and subjective, which is not conducive to work.
In this township and village, cadres have done practical things. Otherwise, roads would not be widened, houses would not be repaired, and trees would not be planted. In Xiao Zheng’s view, if a local cadre encourages tree planting, then the people here will
Cadres have goodwill toward nature and the people; if the people are planting trees themselves, then the people in this place have a yearning for a better life. Therefore, Xiao Zheng's mood improved when he saw many new trees planted in the village.
Be more cheerful.
Na Junying, deputy secretary of the county party committee, seemed to have the same feeling. She said to Yao Yonghong, secretary of the township party committee: "These trees are well planted." Zhang Chengchuan also said: "You have made full use of the poverty alleviation funds allocated by the county." Zhang Chengchuan is the township head.
, the secretary of the township party committee came up. If you look at the village road and the appearance of the village, you will know that the village is not fooling the township, and the township is not fooling the county. The money has been used, and the results have been achieved.
However, this also made Xiao Zheng a little confused. Since the township and the village are doing practical things, why is the problem of dropouts not solved? Is it really just because the township and the village do not pay attention to it, and the villagers have no awareness of education?
At this time, two small trucks came out of the village and were carrying goods. Xiao Zheng and Na Junying were very surprised. When they looked inside, they saw that it was pork that had been killed. There were five or six pigs on each small truck.
There are more than ten in total. The village branch secretary introduced: "The pork in our Jiuqing Village is very famous, mainly because of its good meat quality and its fragrance, so it is very popular in the township and county. Almost every household here has
Raising pigs. In the past, transportation was inconvenient and difficult to transport. Now the roads are open and it is very convenient to bring them out. There are always a dozen pigs brought out for sale every day. "
Dong Cangshan, the county agriculture director, asked, "How many pigs can a farmer here raise in a year?" Village party secretary Deng Youyu said: "This is not necessarily true. There are as few as five or six pigs, and as many as ten or twenty pigs.
Yes." Dong Shengshan calculated and said: "A pig can be sold for more than 800 yuan now. Even if you count 5 pigs, you can buy 4,000 yuan. If 20 pigs, that is 16,000 yuan. Secretary Deng, you villagers are very
We are almost out of poverty!”
Deng Youyu couldn't help laughing: "This is all the wealth brought by building roads. Not only pork, but now from the outside, many plagiarism dealers, 'cow **' dealers, and wheat dealers have come in." Xiao Zheng
Somewhat strange, he asked: "What is 'niu **'?" Dong Climbing, director of agriculture, introduced: "Secretary Xiao, it is 'rose hip'."
At this time, another truck came from the north of the village around the mountain road, containing red fruits that looked like cow teats. Xiao Zheng had never seen them before. Deng Youyu, the village party secretary, quickly grabbed a handful and divided them.
To everyone: "This is beef, you will know after you taste it!"
Xiao Zheng didn't care whether he washed it or not, so he just took a bite. It was really sweet and sour!
