The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1382 Reorganizing County Facilities
“You want to fix the main road nearby?”

After hearing Cheng Haiyi's idea, Bai Meixi took a look at the map and found that there were indeed transportation problems in this area, but the biggest problems were not in Baijiacun and Liujiacun.

Ever since Bai Meixi made money, she invested a lot of money in Liujia Village as the fourth sister Hu. Now they have a big road leading to the county town. Although this road is not wide, it is already bigger than the surrounding dirt roads. much better.

As for Baijia Village, due to mining all year round, there is also a road leading to the outside world. Although this road is a dirt road, it is very wide and can be used after a little rest.

What is more difficult is the villages in the back mountains. These villages are almost buried behind the mountains. The roads out of the mountains are made by everyone's feet. It is difficult to pass a tractor and it is very inconvenient to get around.

It is also for this reason that there has been no electricity here for many years, let alone running water. The villagers have lived a very difficult life and have been struggling for food and clothing for many years. It is a notoriously poor village here.

If they want to carry out renovation, they have to start from these areas. However, these villages have a small number of people and little land. Even if they are developed, the benefits they can obtain are very limited.

"If we want to develop this area, we cannot leave any place behind. I think we can develop all these places, and then let these people join the fleet of agricultural and sideline products, or let them give them to these two villages. People inside work part-time, after all, some people’s families don’t have enough labor, so they still need to hire outsiders.”

Cheng Haiyi wants everyone in his hometown to live a good life. Bai Meixi can understand this feeling, but their family cannot be the only one to do this, otherwise no amount of money can sustain such a large project.

So she asked Cheng Haiyi to find the director of the Transportation Bureau and tell him that they were willing to contribute two-thirds of the money to help build roads in several nearby villages, but the remaining one-third needed funding from the higher-ups or people in the village. Self-financing.

"It's great that you want to build a road nearby, but Hai Yi, the price of road construction is different now. The prices of all kinds of brick materials have increased, and the labor costs have also increased a lot. You can Be mentally prepared, once the project starts, it cannot be stopped.”

The director of the Transportation Bureau naturally wanted to regard this incident as his political achievement, not to mention that the road problems in those villages have been very serious. Some time ago, someone had an accident on the road and was directly hit by rocks rolling down the mountain.

The road was too narrow and there was no place to hide. Even if he managed to escape, the car would fall down the cliff due to loss of control.

He made several reports, but the people above kept saying that there was no money. Now that Cheng Haiyi is willing to support most of the expenses, this matter may really be possible.

"I have calculated it based on the latest price, and the person who funded it is not us, but a multinational company. They have been doing charity projects, and this time they also intend to develop our place."

Cheng Haiyi knew that the Ruan Group spent countless amounts of money on charity every year. If their trading company was really unable to afford the subsequent expenses, the Ruan Group's charitable fund could take over.

"If that's the case, that's great. I'll report it to my superiors now."

The new director looked extremely excited. With the support of the charity fund, it would be even more powerful for them. What's more, once the project is approved, the transportation bureau's funds will become very abundant, and everyone will be able to earn more bonuses.

However, this plan was quickly rejected by the people above. The reason was that the project was huge. Even with two-thirds of the funding, they could not pay other costs. They suggested that the director of the Transportation Bureau change the plan and only use the three-thirds. The second amount of money will be used to solve the problems of some villagers first.Bai Meixi was not surprised when she saw this result. It's just that in this world, the problem is not scarcity but inequality. It doesn't matter if everyone is poor together, but once someone makes money, others will still stay in the same place, fearing that something will happen. .

"I am also worried about this problem, and you also know that there are unruly people in remote areas. These people generally have not read any books, let alone the law. When they are impulsive, they don't know what they will do."

The director of the Transportation Bureau once visited these villages and found that the soil there is very loose and landslides often occur on rainy days. This kind of road is very difficult to repair. It is not only expensive, but also prone to problems during construction.

Moreover, the level of poverty in these villages is absolutely beyond imagination. Many people do not even have decent quilts at home. A family of seven or eight sleeps on straw. Most of the food they eat is grass roots and tree bark. Many children are pregnant. sick.

They have distributed relief materials, but it is only a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the actual problem at all. It is difficult to imagine what the consequences will be if these people start to cause trouble.

"Are there still such poor villages now?"

Bai Meixi was shocked when she heard this. She thought that although the people in those villages were not rich, they could still have enough to eat, but she didn't expect that they were so poor.

"There is no electricity and no clean water. Whether raising chickens, ducks, or growing crops, the survival rate is extremely low. Moreover, the villagers easily get sick. Once the family loses its most important labor force, life will be even more difficult."

The director of the Transportation Bureau also kept lamenting when talking about this matter. The entire county is not rich in funds now. Although the county's income has improved after the commercial street was opened, there are really many places where money is needed. There are gaps almost everywhere, and these villages are not taken into consideration at all.

"It's because even if there are some improvements in those places, the people above can't see them, so it's better to invest money in places where they can be seen."

Bai Meixi pointed out this matter directly. It's not that the county's funds cannot be used to move these places, but they can't make big moves. But if they don't make big moves, all the money will be like being thrown into the bottomless abyss, and the people above will never do it. If you don't see it, you will still complain that they have no political achievements.

"Comrade Xiaobai, every place has its own difficulties. Look at other villages and towns. The construction is getting better and better year by year. If we all throw money into invisible places, we will probably suffer more than just disasters." If you criticize me, you may not even be able to keep your job.”

The director of the transportation bureau laughed dryly. He felt that Bai Meixi should be able to understand their difficulties. After all, they also had to support their families and had to consider everything comprehensively.

"I understand, then according to the above, use the current funds to develop a section of road first, connect the water and electricity in the village first, and then wait for the water and electricity to be connected."

After hearing the current situation of those villagers, Bai Meixi wanted to rescue them and let them live a normal life. Whether they could start a side business was another matter, but without water and electricity, whether they could survive was another question.
