It was dark and the river surface could not be seen clearly.
Although the sound of construction boats digging the river was noisy, the houses on one side of the river were demolished. The original residents took the compensation money and happily visited relatives and friends, so there was no need to disturb the residents.
In the past month, "Harmony Construction" has offered high wages to poach people from everywhere. The retired camp in charge of management likes to poach soldiers with service backgrounds most, ensuring the orderly progress of semi-military management.
Xiao Jinlang stood on the shore of the construction site and could feel that the construction site was quite large, not inferior to the "Shengguang Industrial Park" in Taipingqiao.
I really don’t know what Zhou Qingfeng did in such a remote place?
Director Chen came here for inspection and research. When he arrived in the village, he first went to the village guest house to register, and then went for a stroll - there was only one street, and you could see it from beginning to end during the day. What could you do?
The renovated machine repair shop had a dedicated dock. Xiao Jinlang and the others went over to take a look and immediately discovered that the factory was no longer used to assemble motorized tricycles.
Instead, there are some other equipment piled up in the factory, such as drum screening machines and air separators. However, these equipment are not meant to be installed here. They are obviously only temporarily stored.
On the other hand, a high-power transformer is being installed in another corner of the factory building, and overhead transmission lines are laid along the road. From the thickness of the cables, it can be seen that the power supply capacity of this line is unusual.
Tianyang is located in the southern hills, and there are many small hydropower stations in the territory. After being connected to the power grid, there is no need to worry about electricity.
"It's strange, what exactly is Zhou Qingfeng doing in Nantou Township? It's true in this township, it seems that they are afraid that the project will be robbed, so they have blocked the news tightly."
Xiao Jinlang was confused and saw an engineering drawing on the bulletin board outside the factory. This was part of the public announcement, and it showed what the project would look like after it was completed.
According to the plan on the engineering map, a series of factories will be built in Nantou Township. But the most conspicuous thing is to bulldoze a valley opposite the river bank, creating an area of about four to five hectares.
The location of the valley is clearly marked with the words ‘Shengguang Recyclable Resources Treatment Plant’. This bastard quietly built the garbage dump in the corner of Nantou Township, and it was built in such a remote location.
Xiao Jinlang was shocked and confused, completely unable to understand Zhou Qingfeng's plan.
Director Chen had no idea about this treatment plant. He just pushed Lao Xiao and asked, "Didn't you say that there is a 'Shengguang Machinery' assembly plant in Nantou Township?"
"It's just an assembly workshop, and it's easy to move. Maybe except Zhou Qingfeng himself, no one knows his specific plans in Tianyang.
It’s strange to say that that guy is not doing his job all day long, so why does he do so many things quietly? It feels like there is at least an efficient, responsible but unknown team working behind him.”
The renovated machine repair shop is filled with nothing but busy workers working overtime. Due to the large number of cables and equipment, no outsiders are allowed inside.
Xiao Jinlang glanced at it for a few times, then stepped forward, "Let's go, ahead is Nantou Township Primary School. Zhou Qingfeng's other things are uncertain, but his support for education is worthy of recognition."
After leaving the machine repair shop, there were a few more street lights on the street, illuminating the ground white. The bumpy road had been repaired, and a simple wall made of iron fences appeared on the roadside.
Behind the wall is the playground of Nantou Township Primary School.
In half a year, the originally dilapidated school completely changed its appearance. All the low earthen walls were demolished, the playground area was more than tripled, and a standard 400-meter track was built inside.
Ordinary rural primary schools are deserted after dark. At most, there are some lights in the teacher's dormitory. But the renovated Nantou Township Primary School is very lively. The new school building is noisy and a group of children are running in and out having fun.
"I came here to investigate half a month ago. I stood outside the iron fence and watched for a long time. It was the first time I saw a primary school student who was required to take a self-study class. I asked the people in the village and they all said it was Zhou Qingfeng who asked for it.
The model school that this guy spent money to build is to improve the quality of education in rural primary schools. In the past, if children were poor at studying, they would use it at night and only have one day off on weekends."
Xiao Jinlang said with emotion that this is what he is most satisfied with about Zhou Qingfeng.
Due to low quality and lack of education, rural parents have no idea how to educate their children. When students come home from school, they have to do housework, and being in school is like herding sheep. Very few can get into county middle schools.
What can such a child do when he grows up?
Zhou Qingfeng promoted small-in-kind loans in villages and towns, and one of the requirements was that children must be sent to school. From kindergarten to primary school, he spent money to re-establish the education system.
In fact, it doesn’t cost much. For example, a kindergarten that takes care of 20 children only costs 5,000 to start, just by renting a large yard.
Even without much education, hiring a few middle-aged women as nannies can greatly reduce the parenting burden of rural families. This is much better than leaving children at home or taking them to the fields.
Many city people feel that the countryside is close to nature and has beautiful scenery. Children in the countryside are thick-skinned, lively, and wild, and enjoy their childhood more than children in the city.
But city dwellers have never lived in a leaky house, squatted in a manure pit full of maggots, been bitten by leeches in the fields, been poisoned by carbon monoxide in coal-burning stoves, or seen children inexplicably infected with parasites and in pain.
rolling all over the floor.
If rural areas were really so good in the past, why would anyone bother to get an urban household registration? Urban household registration will provide you with commercial grain every month. This is the greatest guarantee.
How much bitterness and blood and tears are involved!
Xiao Jinlang came from the countryside and was one of the few college students in his hometown. On the day he left home, his old father put the borrowed money he had scraped together and stuffed it into his hand, saying just one word of instruction.
Don't come back, go out and never come back!
"Look..." Xiao Jinlang pointed out the newly built school building to Director Chen and said with a smile: "That's the student dormitory over there. All students are forced to live on campus. Food and clothing are provided by the school.
People in the village say this is a good thing. In the past, children who were as skinny as monkeys can gain ten pounds in half a year of living in school. They are well-dressed and well-fed, and their academic performance generally improves.
Zhou Qingfeng spent a lot of money to hire teachers and purchase teaching aids. The hardware of this rural primary school may not be as good as that in the city, but it is definitely not worse than in the county.
Students don't have classes in the evening, but teachers will come to supervise homework and have time to do some extracurricular activities. This is all paid for."
Speaking of this model school, Xiao Jinlang was full of praise. He took out his work permit, discussed with the school guard, brought Director Chen into the school, and introduced him mysteriously: "I will take you to the school reading room to open your eyes."
What can be exciting in the reading room?
Director Chen thought it was novel to have such a school in a ravine, but he was still a little startled when he entered the reading room. The place looked to be the size of a classroom, but it was filled with books, newspapers and pictures.
There are a large number of printed matter in the domestic garbage obtained by Zhou Qingfeng, including many books and reading materials.
In order to avoid accidental leakage of information, all these books were withheld and handed over to Book Charm Sophia to determine whether they had any impact on the real plane.
Sophia is like a supercomputer in this task. A "scholar's touch" can obtain information from a large number of books and classify the books.
All information on current political newspapers and periodicals is prohibited from being exported.
Zhou Qingfeng is preparing to get a pudding monster that is higher than the gelatin monster. The acid secreted by the pudding monster can digest wood fiber and metal, and it is the most terrifying kind of mud monster.
In addition, there are a large number of science and technology, children's, and novel books. The number is also very large. Apart from allowing Sophia to read the information and increase the knowledge base, these paper items are not of much use.
It would be too wasteful to destroy these books casually, so they are reused - Book Charm has a strong ability to 'forge documents', and all contents that will leak information will be corrected by her.
The first thing that was used was a large number of children's illustrated books and periodicals. Zhou Qingfeng donated tens of thousands of copies to all schools in Tianyang City.
The reading room of Nantou Township Primary School is full of beautifully printed books.
Every evening, children would come to borrow books. The richness of books here even surprised Director Chen who came from the imperial capital.
"Wow... I didn't expect so many books to be piled up in this small place!"
