Chapter 49

After the election in the morning, Wang Mancang gave Zhang Guodong the key to the brigade in the afternoon. Looking at the ledger Wang Mancang took out, Zhang Guodong knew why the brigade had no money.

"Uncle Mancang, don't you remember this account correctly? Last year, the rent for the collective land was 1164 yuan, and the persimmon tree contract was 871 yuan. How can the expenditure be settled in a few township meetings? What about the balance?" Looking at such a simple accounting method , Zhang Guodong blocked Wang Mancang's way and asked.

"Our village has always kept accounts like this. Some of the contractors who contracted the collective land and persimmon trees actually paid the money. We can't follow the villagers all day to ask for it! The brigade doesn't have a penny of money, uncle? Lie to you, all the expenses for going to the village for the next six months will be paid out of my own pocket." Wang Mancang explained.

"Uncle Mancang, I don't believe you when you say that. In the end, it's not up to you to decide who will plant and who will not plant collectively in the village. Why don't we call all the villagers who contracted the land last year over here, and the bill will be big and small. On the blackboard at the gate of the Record Brigade, as long as the villagers believe in you, I, Zhang Guodong, will never make things difficult for you." Zhang Guodong knew that Wang Mancang had a problem with talking, and he wanted to get involved in any matter in the village, no matter how big or small, so that he could get some benefits in the end. Some, he has a thick skin and has seen the world a lot, and because he is the village head, everyone generally doesn't take him seriously.

"You kid, do you have to explain what you said? When I was the captain, I didn't feel sorry for your family. Whoever became an official didn't just want to make a few money. If you want me to say that you are completely stupid to disclose your accounts, the village As long as this little money can be divided into the hands of each villager, we should get some money for the hard work of the village." Seeing Zhang Guodong's entanglement, Wang Mancang said with an apologetic smile.

"Uncle Mancang, it's not my nephew that I'm embarrassing you. If you don't explain to me how I will take care of this stall, or I will call my fourth uncle and Wang Feng over, and you can tell them both." Leave the brigade.

"Guodong, Guodong, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it just a matter of accounts? Give Uncle some time, let me go back and think about it, who actually contracted the collective land and the persimmon tree without paying , it will be good if everyone is not good at that time!"

"Since you said that, Uncle Mancang, I will give you three days. Three days later, at 9:[-] in the morning, the village captain's meeting will be held. You have to think clearly about where the money has gone."

Zhang Guodong is no longer entangled with Wang Mancang, it is unrealistic to get all the money back, now it depends on how much Wang Mancang is willing to spit out.

In the next two days, Zhang Guodong took over everything in the brigade headquarters. In fact, the brigade headquarters had nothing but 4 houses and some tables and chairs. Some materials sent by the village were stored in the reference room, but they were of some use to Zhang Guodong. The township's subsidies and poverty subsidies for Zhangjialing Village can all be found.

In the end, Wang Mancang tried his best to get back the 1280 yuan from the brigade. As for the other Zhang Guodong and the captains of the other two teams, he didn't go into details. Wang Mancang passed the handover this time.

This morning, Zhang Guodong walked around the brigade headquarters and was just about to dig stones in the ditch when he saw Xiao Li, a liaison officer from the village, riding a bicycle to the brigade headquarters. It was given to the township, and the township asked all village team leaders to hold a meeting in the conference room on the first floor of the township government at 30 p.m.

It was almost 10 o'clock, Zhang Guodong changed his clothes after returning home, ate some leftovers from the morning, and then rode his bicycle to the village.

When he came to the gate of the township government, Dou Jinpeng happened to be talking to someone at the gate. After seeing Zhang Guodong, he immediately walked over enthusiastically.

"Brother Zhang, congratulations on being elected as the captain of your village. Let's go... There is still more than an hour before the meeting. Let's go to my office. Last week, a friend just sent half a catty of Anji white tea. Let's try it." Said Zhang Guodong couldn't help but refused, so he dragged him into the government gate.

It was not the first time Zhang Guodong came to Dou Jinpeng's office.While pouring water for Zhang Guodong to make tea, Dou Jinpeng told him about the road construction. Now he is in charge of the road construction in the village. It is almost the end of the year, and the main road is not even half completed.

"Brother, my classmate saw me a few days ago and said that Liugong's zl30 loader only costs 16 now. If you don't have enough money, I still have some connections in the bank and can help with loans." Dou Jinpeng put the brewed tea on Zhang Guodong In front of him, a strong scent of clear tea suddenly hit his nostrils. It is very rare to drink such fragrant white tea at this time.

"I have to think about buying machinery. This is the situation in Ganjing Township. I took out a debt to buy a loader to do the work for the first half of the year. After I finished it, I left it at home. It's hard to say that I can earn back the car in the first half of the year. .”

"Don't be so unconfident! Yaozipo, do you know? It was the collar when you came here. The township has an idea to level it up, so that the east-west traffic in Ganjing Township will be greatly facilitated. The county has basically agreed. After making this decision, the money will be allocated after the year passes. If you have a loader, I can leave this work to you. How about it? The earthwork volume of more than 20 tons will be available when it is dug. Come to build the road, if you have the strength to take this job, I will be the first to consider letting you do it."

Zhang Guodong remembers that in 2006, Ganjing Township spent a lot of money to flatten the entire Yaozipo because of the tourism company’s development and investigation in 500. In this way, the steep slope of more than 300 meters became flat land, and the nearby village also increased by more than [-] mu. If Yaozipo can be flattened earlier, it will be a good thing for the entire western village of Ganjing Township.

"Yaozi Slope? The entire ridge can't be blocked by bulldozing 20 square meters of earth and rocks, right? This slope is definitely not possible without an excavator. To complete the project of Yaozi Slope, at least one excavator of more than 30 and two loaders of more than 30 are needed , plus more than 20 tractors, calculated on the basis of a project volume of 3000 square meters per day, it will take at least half a year to complete the project, how much money can the village provide?" Zhang Guodong is obviously a little bit excited.

"It seems that you know more about projects than I do. If the Yaozipo project is confirmed this time, there will be a budget of about 50 yuan, 30 yuan from Qian County, and 20 yuan from the township." Dou Jinpeng has already confided in Zhang Guodong, and the whole Perhaps Zhang Guodong is the only one in Ganjing Township who can help him.

"50 yuan is not enough. To level the land on both sides of Yaozipo, at least 100 million yuan is needed. Zhangjialing also benefits from the leveling of Yaozipo. If the township really decides to repair it, I can consider this job."

If it was only for money, Zhang Guodong would never get involved in the road construction in the village, but if Yaozipo could really be leveled 20 years in advance, the old river beside Liujia Village on the west side of Yaozipo would be filled, from Zhangjialing to Ganjing The township will be much more convenient, and you can get there in more than ten minutes by bike.

"The leaders all know that the money is not enough. If we have enough money, we can directly find a professional engineering team. If this is not the stone you dug up, can you still sell it to the village for road construction? This time you earn money on both sides. Isn't the money back?" Dou Jinpeng With a look on my face that I am very smart and admire it, Zhang Guodong realized that the other party insisted on pestering him all the time, so maybe he was willing to do such a job.

"It's not just about the excavators and loaders. I'll pay for the tractors. I'm afraid I won't have enough to pay for others in the end."

"The 50 yuan is still only a preliminary decision. You can tell me the truth. If you want more money, you are willing to do it. If you don't do it, I will die a long time ago. I am working hard here." Zhang Guodong admires Dou Jinpeng's vision. The fundamental reason that hinders the development of Ganjing is that if these hardware problems are not resolved, the economic development will be half the result with half the effort, and he can say that he is so confident in applying for 50, and the energy behind it cannot be underestimated.

"One piece of soil and one piece of six. The excess soil and rocks were transported from Yaozipo to the old river, and then all the ground was leveled. I need to check and calculate the total amount of transportation before I can give you the number, but it must be more than 80 in the end."

Even if only 20 tractors are hired for such a large job, the average cost per day is calculated at 100 yuan, which is 36 yuan for half a year, not to mention that you have to do the big work yourself.

"Okay, I got it! If Xiangshang really makes a decision, I will tell you as soon as possible. I also know that the price you said is not high. If you want to hire an external engineering team, there is no 240 million people, and the time is almost up. , Mayor Bai has already entered the meeting room, let's go too!"

Unknowingly, it was almost one o'clock. Zhang Guodong and Dou Jinpeng went downstairs side by side. They had already entered the meeting room on the first floor. More than 20 people had already arrived in the meeting room. Dou Jinpeng led Zhang Guodong to the meeting room in Zhangjialing Village. On the rostrum, he is sitting on the right side of the township head Bai Xinyi today, and he is only behind the township head in terms of seats.

When it was one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting room was full of people. A township cadre called and all the village team leaders had arrived, and the meeting began.

Zhang Guodong is no stranger to these things. The township head's speeches are all orders from some counties. In the future, we will cooperate to build Ganjing Township well. We will focus on the salary distribution of poor households in various villages and teachers in several villages with primary schools. Finally, When it comes to road construction, many villages have been named and criticized. This year, the construction of roads in the villages is the focus of the township, and the construction of the main road is still far behind.

Zhang Guodong listened boredly below, Bai Xinyi obviously brought up his idea, everything is the same as the county, and when it comes to each village should find development opportunities and develop their own characteristics, he listed a series of developments in Qin Province due to its own characteristics. It's a very good village, but it's impossible to really move the way others do to Ganjing Township.

"I have said so much to let everyone put down the burden of thinking. The country is now on the road of reform and opening up. Developing the economy and improving the quality of life of the villagers is our top priority now. You are the head of a village, and you must take the people's lives seriously. Income increase is the top priority. Next, the deputy township head, Dou Jinpeng, will report on the road problems in our township."

Dou Jinpeng summarized the road construction of the entire Ganjing Township, named and criticized some villages with few participants and few stone crossings on the main road, and then reiterated the urgency of road construction for the development of Ganjing Township.

After Dou Jinpeng finished speaking, the last speaker was another deputy township head, who was mainly in charge of farming in the township.

"According to the instructions of Secretary Zhao and the head of Bai Township, I went to the south in the past few months and found that the development between us and the villages in the south is indeed great! A few days ago I went to the county for a meeting, and the county invited the provincial agricultural science and technology university. Experts have tested the land in various places in our county, and the results are gratifying."

The deputy mayor is about 40 years old, with a slender face and dark skin. It can be seen that he has been working in the farm for many years. When talking about the road to wealth in each village, it is obvious that he has made a lot of preparations.From the use of land in the valleys, he asked the masses to plant more walnut trees in the mountains, and developed fruit tree planting. When he talked about greenhouse planting, mushroom planting, and even flue-cured tobacco planting, many people were very involved.

"Greenhouse planting is now a lot in the south, and some villages around Chang'an are developing greenhouse planting. Although the initial investment is a bit high, the income is very considerable. The country is now encouraging greenhouse planting. And our Yongkang County has strong sunlight, which is very suitable. Planting apple trees, the profit of one acre of apple trees can reach five to ten times that of wheat..."

Zhang Guodong felt drowsy listening to it. The deputy mayor's idea was simply whimsical. If everyone really followed what he said, they would definitely lose everything.

"Little brother, you are the captain of Zhangjialing Village! Your village has done a good job of building roads this time. In the whole village, you are the most active in building roads with stones. Do you have any disagreement with what Deputy Township Chief Song said just now? Let’s talk about it, it’s all for the development of Ganjing Township.”

Bai Xinyi didn't get along with Dou Jinpeng. He assigned the most difficult infrastructure construction task in the village to Dou Jinpeng. At noon, someone told him that Dou Jinpeng had led Zhang Guodong into the office. He happened to find that Zhang Guodong was distracted by himself, so he interrupted Deputy Song. Long speech, want to take Zhang Guodong to make a show.

Zhang Guodong didn't expect that Township Chief Bai would mention him by name at this time. He saw the other party's annoyed look, and the village chiefs in the surrounding villages looked at him with smiles, and then slowly stood up.

"Deputy Head Song just said very well. He has put in a lot of effort to discover the villages, but there are some things I want to ask."

Hearing Zhang Guodong's words, all the village chiefs in the surrounding area couldn't help but distance themselves from him. On the first day he took office, he went to the village chief. It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"Just now Deputy Township Chief Song talked about growing in greenhouses. Let's not talk about planting technology issues. Who will sell the vegetables grown? Sell them to the county town? Let's eat them ourselves? If anyone in our county doesn't grow a few vegetables in autumn and summer, you sell them in winter. How much is it? How many villagers can afford it?"

"We can sell to Qindu City, or even Chang'an City..." Deputy Township Chief Song interrupted Zhang Guodong.

"How do you transport it? Is it transported by the township government? Since we can all sell vegetables to the city, why don't the villages around Qindu City grow greenhouse vegetables? The freight we transport is higher than the price of the vegetables themselves."

No one spoke out at the venue. The people in Ganjing Township are still on the verge of food and clothing. They have no spare money to consume these new things. Everyone eats pickles all year round. This can only be changed when there is more money in their pockets.
