super rich

Jinxi Township is located in the southwest corner of Wenhai, and to the west, it is very close to the deep mountains and old forests. It can be called the most inhabited area in Ruining County and even Wenhai City. Few outsiders have set foot here, and even the vigorous urban construction has not been able to splash the slightest ripple here, as if it is a forgotten corner.

Perhaps, it was selectively forgotten by the bustling world of mortals.

Surrounded by mountains and mountains, Santana drove on the path at the foot of the mountain with many twists and turns, bumping several times, Chen Mingyuan was dizzy from the bumps, and his bones seemed to be falling apart.

Old Xu tried his best to control the steering wheel, and said with a depressed face: "Secretary, I guess it needs a major repair when I go back."

Zhu Zhentao, director of the Farm Office, was in even worse condition. His face was as pale as paper, and he was slumped on the back seat, exhaling more air than inhaling, looking like he might faint at any time.

This time, Chen Mingyuan did not inform the township leaders below. He just took Zhu Zhentao and the driver's secretary with him and set off. Wherever he went to investigate, these township leaders were like headless chickens. Get a clue.

Right now, the group has arrived at the westernmost end of Jinxi Township, and there is a secluded village called Qingtan Village nearby.

The road to Jinxi Township is in good condition, but it is a bit winding, and it keeps going around the mountain.

As for the road to Qingtan Village, it can be said that it is very bad. The road surface is full of big potholes. When the car passes by, the tires will suddenly fall down, and then there will be a sudden bump, and the people in the car will be thrown out of the seat. , more ups and downs than a roller coaster!

"Take a break and wait for the people behind."

Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Chen Mingyuan greeted everyone and got out of the car. As soon as the car stopped, Zhu Zhentao almost crawled to the side of the road, and retched a couple of times, until he couldn't vomit anymore, he gradually gasped for breath. calm.

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Mingyuan handed over a bottle of water, and it was really embarrassing for Zhu Zhentao. He was a very old man, and those who followed him through the mountains and rivers in the past few days almost lost half of their lives.

Zhu Zhentao took the mineral water and took a sip first, cheered up, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I often went to the countryside when I was young, and I have climbed more difficult and steep mountain roads than this several times. It's just that I have been sitting in the office for a long time these years. If you can’t keep up with your physical strength, you’ll be fine after a break.” After a pause, he pointed to the hill in front of him and said, “Don’t worry, Secretary, Qingtan Village is just around the corner.”

Chen Mingyuan lit a cigarette and silently stared at the green forest in the valley ahead.

The survey has entered the fifth day. The longer the survey, the heavier Chen Mingyuan's heart is. It can be said that Jinxi Township is the most remote and backward township in Wenhai. There are more than 5 people in the township and 1000 administrative departments. The village is basically dominated by agriculture and forestry, with very little industry. That is to say, the village and a few villages with better economic conditions have set up a few small factories, which can barely support a few people, and there is nothing at all. For profit, due to the high mountains and long roads and the lack of information, the fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers are rarely purchased, and it is not cost-effective to sell them yourself. If you can’t finish them, you can only watch them rot. The per capita annual income of the whole township is only about [-] yuan. , is a real poor village.

As for the previous Qingtan Village, according to Zhu Zhentao’s previous feedback, there are only about 50 people in the village with more than [-] households, all of whom are from the She ethnic group. It is conceivable that the situation there is definitely not much better.

At this time, Chen Mingyuan noticed the road under his feet. It was obviously a road that had not been built recently, but it was already full of potholes and dilapidated. Some of the asphalt on it had fallen off, exposing the roadbed below.

Zhu Zhentao noticed his gaze and explained: "This road was just renovated last year, and it didn't take long for it to look like this. Repairs are useless, and the cart is overweight."

Old Xu wondered: "Then it can be designed according to the highway standards of the Economic and Technological Development Zone, so that it breaks down after only one year of repair, what a waste of money."

Zhu Zhentao smiled wryly, and said, "Who wouldn't want to? In fact, some leaders proposed a plan to connect roads to every village earlier. Unfortunately, it was questioned by several members of the Standing Committee. Last year, Mayor Zhong made several application reports and returned I personally ran to the county party committee compound to complain, but the county magistrate Huang listed the county's financial difficulties one by one, saying that building roads to every village was just a face project, and it would not help Ruining's economic development at all, so he put it aside again and again. gone."

"Hey, but the mayor of Zhong Township was also stubborn, and went to the provincial capital to ask for a sum of money, and then organized the villagers to build the road by themselves. As a result, the road was built like nothing else, and the village couldn't do anything about it." Speaking of this, Zhu Zhentao sighed, and said with emotion: "If you want to get rich, build roads first, because you want to be rich and well-off, so people in the mountains have feelings for roads that outsiders can't imagine."

Chen Mingyuan had mixed feelings for a while.

During the silence, another off-road vehicle drove up from behind, and after it stopped, Ye Qingxue poked her head out of the lowered window, took off her sunglasses, and called out, "Why don't you leave?"

Chen Mingyuan turned around and laughed and joked: "If you, the God of Wealth, don't come, how can we have the nerve to enter the village?"

Ye Qingxue gouged him out angrily, and at the same time her slightly pale dimples were a little rosy, if she hadn't been motion sick in the middle of the journey, the schedule would not have been delayed.

The car window on the other side was also pulled down, and Mu Taotao's little head poked out, with a bitter face, and said weakly: "Brother Chen, how long is the road? It's flat!"

Yin Qingning in the driver's seat curled his lips and said, "Who told you to come out, I told you that this time it was not for fun."

Taozi argued sullenly: "You all came out, why leave me alone at home, besides, it's not like I didn't help with work!"

Chen Mingyuan and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly. He went to the countryside for research in a good manner, but was mixed with these few live treasures, and it was as nondescript as camping in the wild.

After Ye Qingxue proposed to help the people in his hometown, Chen Mingyuan simply asked Yin Qingning and Mu Taotao to accompany him in consideration of the huge amount of supplies that needed to be distributed, so that he could take care of Ye Qingxue's soon-to-recovery body, and this girl would follow him After coming to Ruining, she didn't leave the gate all day long, and took advantage of the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming, so she simply took her out for an outing.

Back on the road, the two vehicles drove along the rugged mountain road for about 10 minutes, and arrived at the entrance of Qingtan Village at noon.

When he saw the village landscape, Chen Mingyuan was a little surprised. Before coming here, he thought that the village must be poor, but what is surprising is that this village hidden in the green forest of the valley has the characteristics of a paradise , Looking up, it is full of the scenery of green bamboos dripping and flowers spouting stamens. The river winds and lingers here, forming a quiet pool. The villages beside the pool are exquisite and unique bamboo houses, with black tiles With the corners of the head up, the soft cooking smoke slowly melts into the surrounding clouds, everything looks tranquil, natural, simple and beautiful.

What is even more surprising is that every household in the village has access to electricity. Although the conditions are still very simple, they finally have some modern atmosphere.

Ye Qingxue, Tao Zi and the others were all attracted by the picturesque scenery, but the fatigue of the journey was forgotten, and they looked around full of novelty. Whispering: "This kind of place also needs poverty alleviation?"

In fact, everyone is still blinded by the peaceful scene in front of them. Little do they know that this kind of bamboo building with a yellow straw roof and wooden walls is the simple hut that the early She people used to live in. People who are accustomed to living in cities cannot adapt to the extreme heat and cold, and because of the changeable climate in mountainous areas.

At this time, many people in the village ran out and circled around the car and the crowd, feeling curious and fresh.

After entering the village, Chen Mingyuan was introduced to the house of Lan Tude, secretary of the village party branch. They reported themselves as agricultural commissioners sent by the county to investigate the spring planting situation in the village. Very kind, just about to have lunch, so he entertained a group of people.

The round table for eating is placed under the eaves of the courtyard. On the table are dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, green beans and other seasonal vegetables and fruits. The black rice steamed with glutinous rice is crispy and delicious, which can be seen from Mu Taotao's unsatisfied appetite after swallowing three rice balls raw.

Most of the villagers in the mountains were simple and enthusiastic. Knowing that they were sent by the county to help everyone, some sent some dishes and snacks, as well as a small jar of self-brewed rice wine.

In line with the principle of courtesy and reciprocity, Ye Qingxue took a few mouthfuls to fill her stomach, and then Ye Qingxue called Yin Qingning and Lao Xu to take out the condolences they had prepared early in the morning from the trunk, most of which were daily necessities and medicines. It is precious.

Looking at the joyful scene of the villagers, Lantude took a sip of the hookah and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, I made a special trip down from the city and brought so many gifts, if the government can have more officials like you All right."

"In fact, the leaders above have been paying attention to the situation in the rural areas at the grassroots level, and are constantly trying to change the backward conditions in the mountainous areas. This time we came here to do some detailed investigations and take them back to the leaders for reference."

Chen Mingyuan took a sip of the sweet and delicious rice wine, and said, "Old man, I heard that your village party secretary has been working for nearly ten years. If you have any ideas, please talk to us now."

But Lan Tude shook his head and said: "There is nothing to say, everyone and I are very satisfied that the village can look like it is now." He pointed around and said: "Look, it's just our small mountain village. Now that electricity is connected to every house and concrete roads are built outside, what a blessing this is, we dare not ask for anything more.”
