Guoshan Village Committee. A dilapidated house, a dilapidated table, and a dilapidated chair with one leg missing.
Li Tianyi convened a meeting with all village committee members.
Li Tianyi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have been discharged from the hospital. Without the folks in the mountain village, it would be difficult for me to walk out of the hospital alive. I don't want to say more words of thanks, because that would be too tacky. All I want to do now is
One thing is to build a road for us to pass through the mountain village.
I discovered a very serious reality, that is, our village has good mountains and rivers, but it has been unable to develop because of the impassable roads. Especially the dozens of miles of mountain roads leading from our village to the town are simply full of potholes.
, too miserable to look at.
You are all the village committee members of Guoshan Village. I wonder what you think about road construction?"
Hearing Li Tianyi mention building the road, Wang Changshui smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Li, with all due respect, let alone you, this road won't be built even if the gods come!"
Li Tianyi was stunned: "What's going on?"
Wang Changshui said: "Secretary Li, you may not know much about the situation. Just a few years ago, the county planned a road that runs through our 16 natural villages including Guoshan Village, Lingshang Village, Sanhe Village, Douji Village, and Shiping Village.
, a planning drawing was designed for the highways in three towns. After seeing the drawing, the villagers in our mountain village were very excited. Because once that road is built, there will be a direct link to the county town in our mountain village.
With the expressway, the fruits and grains grown in our village can be sold to the county seat as soon as possible.
Later, the county also held a fund-raising campaign for road construction, and almost every household in our mountain village contributed money, and the state also allocated more than 100 million in matching funds for road construction."
Speaking of this, Wang Changshui's face darkened: "However, we never expected that after this road had been built for a period of time, there would be no more news. And the money we raised has also disappeared. Secretary Li, you said, even
The road construction projects vigorously organized by the county have all come to nothing, so how can this road be built?"
Li Tianyi frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that if it is a rural road, even at a cost of 1 million per kilometer, it can be built for 100 kilometers. Why are these dozens of kilometers of mountain roads when the state has allocated 100 million?
, how can it still not be repaired? And there are no tunnels in the whole journey, and there are very few places where bridges need to be built. It just needs widening and strengthening of the roadbed. Even if the construction cost is 2 million per kilometer, there should be no problem with the funds!"
At this time, Sun Jiashan said angrily: "It's not the officials in the county who are causing the trouble!"
He didn't say much, but Li Tianyi seemed to realize something.
Later, Li Tianyi listened to everyone's opinions. Judging from the attitudes of the village committee members, everyone deeply hoped that the road could be repaired. However, everyone held a negative attitude towards the possibility of successful road construction and believed that
Even if the county leaders are trying their best to promote things, the entire road can be repaired if the country has allocated funds for road construction. If Li Tianyi promotes it by himself, there is basically no possibility of success!
After the meeting, Li Tianyi felt that the matter was difficult.
However, as the village party secretary of Guoshan Village and a college student village official, Li Tianyi firmly believes that he must build this road of hope for the people of Guoshan Village.
After thinking for a long time, Li Tianyi took out his mobile phone and dialed the mayor Yan Chengfeng: "Mayor Yan, I want to know about the 50-60 kilometers of road construction that was to be built four or five years ago when the province and the country directly allocated 100 million yuan.
Why is there suddenly no news about Highway 301, and when will this project be restarted?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Yan Chengfeng said earnestly: "Tianyi, I can understand your desire to do things for the common people. However, as a senior, I still want to advise you about Highway 301.
You'd better not ask about it in a big way, because this matter is a highly sensitive matter in Tongyuan County. It involves the interests of all parties, this is a super black hole, whoever touches it will die!"
Li Tianyi's eyes suddenly widened: "Mayor Yan, is the matter not that serious?"
Yan Chengfeng sighed and said: "Tianyi, do you know why I was transferred to serve as the mayor? It's because the previous mayor has been worrying about the 301 Highway, hoping to make this related to many people in our mountain village.
The road in the natural village was repaired, but in the end there was an unexpected car accident, which gave me a chance. Let me tell you this, Highway 301 has many hidden secrets, and I don't let you touch it to protect you."
In fact, Yan Chengfeng did not tell Li Tianyi that the reason why he parachuted here from the city was to find out where this huge sum of money for road construction was going. Moreover, his parachute was arranged by the province.
Because the funds were allocated, but the road was not repaired, the city leaders judged that the money should have appeared in the town. At least, the town leaders of Qinglong Town should know some inside information.
After Li Tianyi listened to Yan Chengfeng's words, his expression became solemn. Although he had not been in contact with Yan Chengfeng for a long time, he could tell from Yan Chengfeng's actions that Yan Chengfeng was an official who wanted to do things for the people. He was a principled and determined official.
He was an official in charge, but he never expected that a powerful official like Yan Chengfeng would be so afraid of Highway 301. From this point of view, Highway 301 is really a big abscess!
What should I do? What should I do?
Li Tianyi blamed himself over and over again deep in his heart.
Should we continue to stick to our ideals and find ways to build roads for the villagers, or should we be timid and wait for opportunities?
But are opportunities waiting to come?
Li Tianyi thought of the folks in his hometown and how poor he was when he was a child. He slowly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, the worst possible outcome is death. The folks from the mountain village made a fuss in the county because of me.
Hospital, why can’t I go and repair the roads for the folks in the mountain village?”
Thinking of this, Li Tianyi walked out of the village committee, went to Sun Dana's house, borrowed his second-hand jeep, bumped all the way to the town committee compound, and went straight to the office of the town committee secretary Zeng Lixiang.
After knocking on the door and going in, Zeng Lixiang saw that it was Li Tianyi who came in. He frowned and said coldly, "Li Tianyi, what are you doing here?"
Li Tianyi said: "Secretary Li, I would like to ask when the construction of Highway 301 can be resumed, or whether the town can provide some money to help us pass the mountain village to build the road leading to the town.
In this way, we villagers in Guoshan Village can embark on the road to wealth. Now if Guoshan Village wants to get rich, it only needs this road leading to the town."
Hearing Li Tianyi mention the 301 Highway, Zeng Lixiang immediately darkened his face and said coldly: "Comrade Li Tianyi, road construction is not a trivial matter. It involves all aspects of things. Let's go back and wait for the news.
I'll let you know when the town makes a decision. As for Highway 301, I don't know much about it."
After saying that, Zeng Lixiang directly picked up the tea cup, with a very obvious intention to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.
Li Tianyi's face was also a little ugly. He didn't expect that Zeng Lixiang would let him go after only saying one word to him. He gritted his teeth and said, if you don't help me from the town, I will go find the county.
Go inside.
Immediately, he drove straight to the county seat, came to the county transportation bureau, and found Zhao Yuanhua, director of the transportation bureau. He told Zhao Yuanhua what he meant, and Zhao Yuanhua gave Li Tianyi a thumbs up with a smile on his face and said: "
Comrade Li Tianyi, you are at the grassroots level, you are able to think of the people wholeheartedly, you want to build this road and lead the villagers on the road to wealth. I admire your spirit and character very much."
After saying this, he changed his voice: "But Comrade Li Tianyi, you should know that our Tongyuan County is a poor county. The county's fiscal revenue is only a little bit every year. The total expenses of our Finance Bureau in a year are not much."
It’s only a few million. If it’s just minor repairs, it’s still manageable. If you invest in building roads, it won’t go anywhere. If you really want to repair the roads in the mountain village, I’ll give it to you.
You point me to a clear path, and you go to the city. The city is still rich, and they can afford to ask the city government to spend money to build roads in your mountainous villages. You are looking in the wrong place for me."
Walking out of the gate of the County Transportation Bureau, Li Tianyi felt extremely disappointed. He did not expect that it would be so difficult to obtain funds for road construction.
However, Li Tianyi is born with a character that refuses to admit defeat! The more difficult things are, the more he has to face them.
He drove directly to the Municipal Transportation Bureau!
But it was a pity that when he arrived at the Municipal Transportation Bureau, he didn't even see a deputy director, not to mention the director. Only the deputy director of the office came out. The other person politely told Li Tianyi: "Xiao Li, your...
This perseverance is worth encouraging, but there are some things you may not know. For the section of road in the mountain village, that is, the 301 Highway project, the city has already allocated matching funds. Think about it, since the city has
The funds have been allocated, how can we allocate them a second time? In that case, we would not be able to explain to the auditors, and people would think that we were making false accounts! So, if you want to know about the relevant process of Highway 301,
You still have to go back to your county, they know the situation better."
Li Tianyi was not convinced and went straight to the Provincial Department of Transportation!
Standing at the entrance of the Provincial Department of Transportation, looking at the majestic office building and the people in suits and leather shoes walking in and out, Li Tianyi had a bitter look on his face.
He has been waiting here for more than an hour, but there is still no response.
About half an hour later, a clerk in his 20s came out. He looked like he had just been admitted to the civil service examination not long ago.
"Are you Li Tianyi, the party secretary of Guoshan Village?" The other party was a little surprised by Li Tianyi's youth.
Li Tianyi nodded: "I am."
"I just learned that our provincial department has already allocated funds for the 301 Highway project. If you want to know the specific situation, you still have to go to the relevant departments of Phoenix City. There is no use in looking for us. You don't need to call anymore.
, there’s no use calling.”
After saying that, the clerk turned around and went in.
Li Tianyi was dumbfounded!
This is obviously a kicking ball!
The county asked for help from the city, and the city asked for help from the county! The province asked for help from the city!
In short, no matter who they are looking for to shirk, this matter has nothing to do with them!
What to do? Leave?
If we leave, will the road be repaired? If we stay, will it still make sense?
