The commander-in-chief gave him half a month, and Wang Ping successfully graduated from the military academy in only ten days.
Because he went to the Intelligence Department to start preparations for recruiting soldiers for the special agent team, he was busy until eight o'clock in the evening before Wang Ping went home.
In this era when there is almost no nightlife, as long as there is nothing particularly important, people usually go to bed early, which can not only ensure that they can get up early the next day to do things, but also save kerosene, killing two birds with one stone.
Although Ouyang Antong studied abroad and experienced a variety of nightlife abroad, after arriving in Yan'an, these nightlife became farther and farther away from her, and after slowly adapting to this kind of life without nightlife, she spent less than 7 hours every night.
He went to bed at one o'clock.
But, tonight was very unexpected.
It was already past eight o'clock, and the lights in his and An Tong's rooms were still on.
Pushing open the door of the cave dwelling, An Tong was sitting at the table looking through a pile of documents.
Because the light from the kerosene lamp was not that bright and was even a little dim, An Tong's eyes were almost next to the documents, very seriously.
"An Tong, what are you looking at? Why don't you take a rest...Don't forget, you are pregnant now and cannot stay up late, and reading under a kerosene lamp is not good for your eyes!" Wang Ping asked with concern on his face.
"You're back!" An Tong put down the documents in her hand, rubbed her already sore eyes and replied.
"This is last year's year-end report from several counties around Yan'an. My training here is about to end. Considering that I am pregnant, the organization asked me to bring back the information from several counties to study it carefully and let me choose which one to go to first.
Be the county magistrate."
"There are five counties in total, and these reports are complicated and contain everything. It seems particularly difficult."
"And time is limited, so I can only stay up late to familiarize myself with the situation!"
"The organization takes care of me and gives me this opportunity. I will definitely not waste it!"
Wang Ping slapped his head suddenly and replied: "An Tong, I'm sorry, I forgot such a big thing~"
"Well, it's already very late today. Let's rest. I won't do anything tomorrow and will discuss your whereabouts with you. By the way, I'll call my father-in-law over for reference. He has more experience than us!"
Wang Ping, Ouyang Antong, and their father-in-law, who is a school teacher, spent the whole morning watching and finally figured out the situation in the five counties.
After reading all the reports, Wang Ping had only one word to describe these five counties: poor, very poor!
The annual income of one county is not as good as that of a town in southwestern Shanxi!
Not only that, these five counties have required Yan'an to provide more than 100,000 kilograms of grain for two consecutive years to ensure that tens of thousands of people in the county do not starve to death.
It can be said that several counties are so poor that they cannot even support tens of thousands of people.
As for taxation, there is only a pitiful commercial tax. Many shops in southwestern Shanxi earn more tax revenue in a year than the county in front of them.
At this time, Wang Ping finally understood that there would be vacancies in the county magistrates of several counties.
It's not that there are no talents in the organization who can be county magistrates, but that no one is willing to go to such a poor county.
Because, even if they go, there is no way to solve the problem of poverty, and they can only leave in disgrace.
"Wang Ping, Antong, the situation in this county is slightly better, at least Yan'an does not need to provide relief food to them. I suggest you go to this county, the conditions will be better, there will be more development ideas, and more
It's easier to get results and it will be much easier!" My father-in-law analyzed with a frown.
Antong also agreed very much: "The economic situation of this county is indeed the best! It is indeed a good principle to go to this county!"
Wang Ping frowned and stared at a simple map he got back from the Intelligence Department.
The reason why it is said to be simple is because apart from the terrain, contour lines, the specific range of several counties, the location of the county seat, and the size of rivers and roads, there is nothing else, not even the specific locations of villages and towns.
However, for Wang Ping, such a map is enough.
By knowing the topography and location of each county and whether there are rivers passing through it, Wang Ping can determine why they are so poor and unable to develop.
Seeing that Wang Ping was silent, Ouyang Antong, who knew that her husband often had his own unique opinions, asked directly: "What do you think, how is this county?"
Wang Ping shook his head and decisively refused: "I won't go!"
"This county is too far away from Yan'an! This is the first reason why I don't agree with you going there."
"Although when you become the county magistrate, the organization will send you a guard. However, it takes a day to go back and forth for more than 100 kilometers, even if you ride a horse, and you can't ride a horse yet, and now you are pregnant, so it is not suitable for you to go that far.
The place!"
"The second reason: The reason why the situation in this county is the best is because of the existence of this river. The most lacking thing in the border area is water. With water, food production can be increased! However, if he wants to develop further, his limitations
The nature is too great, and the biggest limitation is that there is too little arable land!”
After speaking, Wang Ping pointed to a county next to Yan'an and suggested: "I suggest you go to this county!"
"Yanchang County..." Both his father-in-law and Ouyang Antong had a look of shock and disbelief on their faces.
The father-in-law was the first to react. He stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Yanchang is the poorest among these counties and has the smallest population. The total number of people in the county is only more than 30,000. Moreover, the transportation is very inconvenient. There is only one road."
The dirt road connects to Yan'an, and there is not even a decent highway."
"If you let An Tong go there, wouldn't you let him suffer?"
"Yanchang County is the closest to Yan'an, only over 50 kilometers away. It is even closer to us, less than 40 kilometers away. If you ride a horse, you can get there in more than an hour!" Wang Ping explained!
"An Tong can live there if she goes to be the county magistrate. After I finish training every day, I can go there and take care of her in more than an hour on horseback."
"If the father-in-law and mother-in-law are worried, they can go with someone to take care of them!"
The father-in-law nodded and replied: "This is indeed a reason. However, Yanchang County is too poor and can't even have enough food to eat. How to solve this problem? We can't let An Tong go over and eat glutinous rice with everyone, and she won't be full."
!”
"Of course not!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"Yangchang County can definitely develop, but we just haven't found the idea yet!"
"As long as we find a direction for development, Yanchang County will definitely become the richest county in the border area!"
Reading directly asks: “What is the direction of development?”
"Agriculture and animal husbandry!" Wang Ping did not hide anything and directly spoke out what was in his mind!
"Yanchang County has the potential to develop agriculture and animal husbandry on a large scale, but it has not been tapped. As long as Antong goes, this potential will definitely be tapped!"
Ouyang Antong absolutely trusts her husband 100%.
When her father was full of doubts and was about to continue asking, she interrupted directly: "Dad... I believe Wang Ping, so I will go to Yanchang County!"
