cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 407
"Xiaowei, before I talk about this, let me tell you about the situation in our Tongshan Town." Village head Zhang picked up the cup in front of him and drank it down. A little bit of silence and pain.

"Our Tongshan Town used to be a town of 25 villages. Later, due to various reasons, because of the mountainous area, these 25 villages gradually merged into the current 25 villages, and some other villages that were merged were turned into villages. The detachment has become a detachment in a village. Up to now, some villages have even disappeared in natural disasters. So, so far, there are only [-] villages left in these [-] villages. These [-] villages are smaller There are only a dozen households with thirty or forty people, and the county is also discussing whether to merge these villages, but it is very difficult, so "

Generally speaking, there are fewer and fewer people in the villages in this mountain area. This has to be linked to the current society. Many mountain village people want to fly out of this mountainous area where their ancestors cannot go out. , a large part of the people are unwilling to come back to live such a poor life where a few poor families can't eat enough.And those who really don't want to come back are because the conditions in those villages are really too bad. After all, the Chinese people have a very serious love for their hometown, and fallen leaves must return to their roots.

They don't have rivers like Zhangwa Village passing through, and they have fertile rice fields. Each household can be self-reliant and get sufficient food supply.Not to mention that there is no winding road directly leading to the entrance of the village, and the convenient transportation also enables some products of Zhangwa Village to be sold to some extent. Although they cannot be sold on a large scale, they can still subsidize some households.Generally speaking, villages with convenient transportation, rivers passing by, and a rice field have better living conditions than those remote mountain villages with barren land.

Therefore, it can be said that as long as the people in Zhangwa Village work hard, they can basically live comfortably even if they don't go out, but who doesn't want to be better.Therefore, following the trend of going out to work, many young people in the village have gone out to work in recent years.But like other remote and barren villages, there are no people who have directly settled outside.

Although the government has been promoting the process of accelerating urbanization and moving mountainous areas to the interior for so many years, this also depends on the situation in the province.

Although Tiannan Province has the largest area in the country, the area of ​​mountainous areas is also the largest in the country. Almost the whole province is surrounded by [-] mountains, and the mountain residents account for more than half of the whole province. To move out of these villages with a large amount of funds, this is really powerless for the impoverished Tiannan Province.

After all, relocating a village is not a simple matter. From the cost of relocation to resettlement, every household needs a huge amount of financial subsidies, and these are not the main ones. The main thing is If a poor village in one place is relocated to another village with a better geographical location, it is necessary to share the natural resources of this village. Therefore, no village is willing to accept these relocated villagers. After all, these good Some of the villages are only relatively better in terms of economic conditions, but they cannot be called rich.

Just like Zhangwa Village, if you suddenly move into a small village of fifty or sixty people, the overall population of the village will increase, but the natural resource base in the village will still be so large, and the people who migrated will not be able to reach you. It has to be resettled. Naturally, it will be distributed to others for planting land and house foundations, and these will be taken away from the aboriginals of Zhangwa Village. Therefore, no one wants to distribute their own things to others for free.

A farmer is a farmer, and he is kind, but he is still a materialistic and simple farmer, not the Guanyin Bodhisattva who has been preaching that thousands of families live in Buddha, who is merciful and compassionate, and saves suffering.

Of course, if the government can provide some money to subsidize the people in this village, this matter is not unnegotiable. After all, everyone is a farmer, but the government has no money, so the work of merging the village has been It didn't go on, and those villages that were merged had only a few families left, and they were directly merged into Lincun, but this village was only nominally included in the merged village, and these people did not There was no migration, so the basic village merged with that one only increased the population base, but in fact there was no great conflict of interest.

Therefore, on the whole, the government does not have so much money to invest in the transformation of mountainous areas, not only in merging villages, but also in other aspects, especially education.

Not only in Tongshan Town, but also in the whole province, the mountainous schools that have been completed in recent years, except for the town, have basically not been built in other mountain villages, and many schools have completely collapsed due to disrepair and cannot teach. So far, in some places, even in order to go to school, they have to go back and forth on the mountain road for several miles.

Children are the hope of the future, and education is the hope for children to get out of poverty. Therefore, everyone hopes that their children can get education.However, due to the limited conditions, there are very few mountainous children who can complete primary education except in places close to the school, and there are basically very few other remote mountain villages, and even fewer can complete secondary education, let alone Said to have completed nine years of compulsory high school education.

And the so-called nine-year compulsory education, according to the current conditions in China, is simply not achieved, and the so-called compulsory education is just a slogan.In fact, it is essentially a paid education.Therefore, many families drop out of school halfway because of the inconvenience of going to school, and because the cost is not low. They cannot afford this part of the cost.

"So, today we village chiefs gathered together to discuss with you, Xiaowei, to see if there is a good way to help the villagers in our Tongshan Town get out of poverty, and at least solve the problems in education Last time, I saw Xiaowei that you were very concerned about this matter, so today, taking advantage of the fact that the party secretary of our [-]th village is here, I invited you here. In fact, Zhangwa Village recently received a sum of money However, this fund belongs to the entire Zhangwa villagers, so even if I am willing to take part of it, I believe that even the villagers in the whole village will agree with me to use part of the fund to improve the education of all of us. It would be a waste of money for me to take all of them out, and it would not be able to fundamentally solve this problem.”

Zhang Yourong introduced the situation of the entire Tongshan Town. Everyone who was doing it also looked very sad, but they were very helpless.In a word, money is used for transformation. Money is not omnipotent, but sometimes it is absolutely impossible to leave money.

"In fact, this is because our Education Bureau did not do a good job. It is our dereliction of duty." Deputy Director Wang drank a glass of wine, with a helpless expression, and said with self-blame: "Education is the foundation of the country's plan. , this is known to everyone, but although our country’s economic development momentum is good now, but the population base is huge, it is impossible to fundamentally solve this problem in a short period of time. Therefore, many large enterprises across the country Everyone has their support, and Naihe can only solve part of it. However, it is better to be able to solve part of it than not to solve it at all, so. Hey." Speaking of this, the meaning is self-evident, Director Wang took a drink from the wine in front of him And do.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Wei again. After listening to everyone's narration, Zhang Wei already had a rough plan in his heart. For this point, Zhang Wei is the most concerned. There are really not many people who can resist the desire for money. It is not that Zhang Wei does not believe these people sitting here. Those who can come here today, Zhang Weineng can learn from them Feeling the urgency to do things for everyone sincerely and the helplessness in his heart, but Zhang Wei knows that once this problem is pulled out, it is beyond the control of these people.

More than a dozen village chiefs and one deputy department really can't afford to make too many waves. Although they have intentions, they may not be able to lead all this well.
