Secretary Ma smiled bitterly and said: "The villagers' stubbornness can only be traced back to their place names."
Chen Qingyun then interjected: "Are their place names related to Taoist laws?"
"Yes, Secretary Qingyun actually knows the origin of Gudong Village?"
Secretary Ma asked in surprise.
Chen Qingyun smiled faintly and did not answer.
Secretary Ma realized that he was in trouble, laughed twice in self-deprecation, and immediately went on to explain.
"The location of Gudong Village is one of the legendary thirty-six caves in Taoism, called Haoshengxuan Shangtian."
"Haoshengxuan Shangtian, isn't it in Liquan City in Province H?" Chen Qingyun said with a smile: "There is also an ancient cave in Weishan in Liquan City. It is also a legendary Taoist fairyland, also called Haoshengxuan Shangtian."
"Secretary Qingyun is really knowledgeable, and he has a good command of messengers among the people." Secretary Ma complimented him flatteringly, and continued to explain: "The location of Gudong Village is also called Weishan. The villagers are very stubborn and believe that they live in the blessed land of Dongtian, so they are unwilling to move.
.”
"Okay, let's go to Gudong Village." Chen Qingyun followed Secretary Ma's words and revealed his destination.
Yu Lai wanted to stop Chen Qingyun, but turned around and saw Chen Qingyun's face was calm, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
This deep-rooted consciousness is the most difficult to reverse. Even if Chen Qingyun becomes the provincial party committee secretary, he may not be able to win over these stubborn, almost uncivilized, ignorant people.
If Chen Qingyun goes to Maicheng in Gudong Village, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to his reputation.
The reason why high-ranking people, or even "big people" with status, are unwilling to take action personally when they encounter difficult matters, especially mass petitions or civil disputes, is that apart from the fact that there are a large number of manpower available and there is no need to charge into battle, we cannot rule out the possibility that they are fundamentally
I just don't want to get into trouble.
The consciousness of being an official and making decisions for the people has long since retreated from the minds of "leaders".
"Ma, there is no other way to route the highway?"
After all, he was an old sparrow who had weathered many storms. In the blink of an eye, Yu Lai thought of a solution.
Secretary Ma shook his head: "The terrain around Gudong Village is particularly complicated. If you want to avoid Gudong Village, you have to go around ten kilometers of the highway at least."
"The county government is responsible for the preliminary work of the expressway. Could you please consider it and come up with a plan?"
Detouring a dozen highways would only cost over a billion at best. It was the lesser of two evils, and Yu Lai would rather spend more money than see Chen Qingyun's reputation affected.
People who can make a name for themselves in the officialdom all have an exquisite heart. As soon as Yu Lai finished speaking, Secretary Ma tasted the samadhi among them.
"Thank you, Secretary Yu, for your brilliant leadership, which cleared away the fog that was weighing on our hearts."
"Don't be such a mouthful. When we get to Gudong Village, we will inspect the topography and landforms before leaving." Yu Lai laughed happily. This arrangement took into account Chen Qingyun's face and avoided unnecessary trouble.
"The scenery in Gudong Village is very unique. The beautiful scenery in the rain must have a special charm." As soon as the words left his mouth, Secretary Ma realized that he had made a mistake. His face felt hot, and his heart was pounding. He weakly said: "Such a beautiful scenery, tea
There are many more places in the county, and we will find a route with better scenery."
The purpose of the Chali Expressway project is to open up the tourist routes between the two provinces. Choosing the route to Gudong Village was actually to take advantage of the natural scenery of Gudong Village. Secretary Ma inadvertently exposed Yu Lai's intentions.
Yu Lai laughed and scolded: "You guy, you can't strike fast and you can't turn the string smoothly."
"Secretary Qingyun, the scenery in the tea is indeed..."
Chen Qingyun gently interrupted Secretary Ma: "It doesn't matter, let's go to Gudong Village first."
Yu Lai and Secretary Ma sighed secretly in their hearts, especially Yu Lai, whose palms were covered with sweat.
After becoming the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chen Qingyun was rarely so stubborn. Chen Qingyun's abnormality really puzzled Yu Lai.
After having lunch in a mountainous town, the convoy continued towards R province. Starting from the county seat, it soon entered the mountainous area. After leaving the town, the convoy was submerged in the long valley.
A few dozen minutes later, the convoy came to a deep gourd-shaped valley. The valley was flat and covered thousands of acres, just like a mini plain.
"What a paradise." Standing on the second floor of the dam management office, Yu Lai sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone gathered around Chen Qingyun and pointed at the mini plain in front of them. No one was not shocked.
The provincial road was built along the foot of a steep mountain. Next to the provincial road is a river more than 100 meters wide. On the other side of the river is where Gudong Village is located.
The villagers of Gudong Village live together in the lower reaches of the mini plain, with thousands of acres of rice fields in the middle. A dam has been built on the river upstream, and the dam is forty or fifty meters high.
Looking around, you can see the square in front of the village, which is actually the sun drying ground of the ancient cave. The sun drying ground is located by the river. Across the drying ground, there is a pier made of granite, and there is a ferry parked on the pier.
.
Others couldn't see it clearly, but Chen Qingyun saw the secret of the downstream ferry: it was a ferry that did not require manual rowing.
"Secretary Qingyun, the ferry in Gudong Village may be unique in the country."
Secretary Ma, who was accompanying Chen Qingyun, never took his eyes off Chen Qingyun's face. When Chen Qingyun looked at the ferry in the distance, Secretary Ma explained softly.
"Before the dam was built, the villagers of Gudong Village relied entirely on the steel cables at the ferry location to get in and out. After the dam was built, roads were opened in Gudong Village, but they had to go around four or five kilometers. The villagers of Gudong Village were still used to crossing the river at the ferry.
"
He Xinghua smiled and said: "It's understandable, I guess not many people in Gudong Village have cars or motorcycles."
"There is only one car and a few motorcycles in the village." Yu Lai answered before Secretary Ma, showing that he also knew Gudong Village very well: "The road that bypasses the dam does not seem to be of much use to Gudong Village.
But it is no longer difficult to import and export agricultural and sideline products in Gudong Village."
The eyes of more than a dozen people, following Yu Lai's fingers, saw that extending out of the dam was a not-too-wide cement road, which led directly along the foot of the mountain to the sunbathing area where the villagers of Gudong Village live downstream.
In fact, Yu Lai came to Gudong Village for the first time, but he did some homework before coming to Gudong Village. The road at the foot of the river and mountain can be seen clearly at a glance. Everyone followed Yu Lai's fingers and took another look, but
It's about following your will.
The valley floor is surrounded by steep peaks hundreds of meters high. The only access to Gudong Village is the provincial road along the river.
No wonder the villagers of Gudong Village are unwilling to relocate. This mini plain at the bottom of the valley is simply an otherworldly paradise.
They came from the lower reaches, passed through the mini plains at the bottom of the valley, and came to the hydropower station upstream.
"You are digressing. What Secretary Ma wants is the ferry below. How can it be unique in the country?" Huo Xu didn't care about Lai's status as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and opened his mouth to go back to Lai.
Yu Lai was not angry, but criticized Secretary Ma with a smile: "Ma, if you leave half a sentence, Commander Huo will be angry."
Secretary Ma secretly cursed: You stole my topic, okay? But his face was full of smiles, and his eyes continued to stay on Chen Qingyun's face, ready to explain.
