The Pentium Era - South to North

On the second floor of the village committee, another classroom was cleared, a table tennis table and chairs were bought, and the place was turned into a special conference room. Before the renovation of the new building was completed, this will be the place from now on. The place where the village representative committee meets and deliberates.

Zhang Xiangbei called eight village representatives together for a meeting and explained to them one by one the twelve Robert's principles of discussion. Several people were confused and had no idea what they were talking about. However, the name Robert immediately changed. Ma Damu’s wife said that this carrot head seemed to be playing house.

It’s true that when we all have a meeting together, there needs to be a moderator, and the number and time of each person’s speech must be stipulated. In particular, before speaking, you have to raise your hands like a primary school student. These are people who are dozens of years old, right? In acting, what is playing house?

One good thing that everyone welcomes is the 10th Principle of Civilized Expression. Of course, "Diemao" is a swear word. The first thing to be prohibited is that Erpi is not allowed to use the word "Diemao" again during meetings. Everyone thought this was a very good word. Erpi was so angry that he cursed him with a series of "dick hairs".

Each village representative received a monthly subsidy of 800 yuan. Zhang Xiangbei threatened Erpi, "Did you see that it has been decided not to say "diaomao"? Everyone agreed that if you say "diaomao" again, you will be punished." I fined you ten yuan. Erpi immediately wanted to say "Diao Mao" in reply, but when the word "Diao" came out of his mouth, the word "Mao" was swallowed back.

Zhang Xiangbei looked at him and said, "Spit it out. There is one more word. As long as you spit it out, the ten dollars will be gone."

Erpi snorted and cursed: "I'm not that stupid. For ten yuan, I can buy five packs of Soft Red Lanzhou."

Other people in the conference room laughed. Ma Damu's wife said, next time we have a meeting, would you like me to bring you two and put them in front of you? Ma Damu will let Ma Damu directly deduct the money from your salary. If you curse, I will take it from you. Take a five-pack trip to Lanzhou?

Others said this method was good and would make him feel pain in his flesh.

Erpi glared at Ma Damu's wife, but he was not fooled and did not call her "a dick" again.

Zhang Xiangbei told everyone seriously that the villagers did not elect you as village representatives to look good, but to do things for them. If you village representatives cannot fulfill your duties, work for everyone, keep things in check for everyone, and be a good family , then why would the villagers choose you? This village representative committee might as well be dissolved.

Erpi is not willing to take something from your house or five packs of cigarettes from Erpi. If it were you, I think you would be equally unwilling. What you are guarding now is not five packs of cigarettes, but It is the property of the 582 families. Remember, every decision you make here is good for everyone and the villagers of the 582 families, and it is also good for you.

"You are also in these five hundred and eighty-two families, aren't you? So when you make any decision, you must think that it is also related to you. You are not discussing other people's matters. If it is something that has nothing to do with you, , and will not discuss it here." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Zhang Xiangbei's words made everyone become more serious. At least during the meeting, they were no longer so joking.

Right now they have an urgent issue to discuss, which is the reconstruction of the village roads.

The road reconstruction in the village can be either small or major. In rural areas, it is very common to build it privately. You can build a chicken coop or a toilet at the entrance of your own yard or in the open space next to your home. It is common for temporary warehouses to be expanded outward.

The land that was occupied did not belong to their family, but it did not belong to other people's families either. Other people would pretend that they had not seen it, and if they had seen it, they would have ignored it and ignored it. If there had not been conflicts between the two families, no one would have thought they were evildoers. , to stop him.

To make a small improvement to the roads in the village, you only need to harden the existing ground and pour cement on it. But in this way, it is equivalent to acquiescing to this kind of occupying behavior by every household. If you want to renovate it in the future, it will probably be more difficult. It's difficult.

The major change is to demolish all the privately built parts. According to Zhang Xiangbei's opinion, not only the roads in the village need to be rebuilt, but also the toilets must be renovated. That is to build several public toilets on these open spaces. In this way, From now on, villagers will no longer even need to build toilets in their yards.

Toilets and latrines are really some of the simplest buildings in the village, and they are also one of the most direct sources of chaos that affect the appearance of the village.

In addition to building public toilets, small gardens for people to rest should also be built in these freed spaces, and street lights should be installed on the roads to help everyone change the habit of going out at night with flashlights.

Zhang Xiangbei even suggested that while road reform be carried out, water reform should also be carried out, that is, water pipes and sewage pipes should be installed in every household at once, so that there is no need to wait for the road to be built and then dig and bury them again. Water pipes and sewage pipes.

On the morning of the first day, Zhang Xiangbei just raised the issue of major or minor changes and let everyone discuss it freely. He just sat and listened and paid no attention to anything. As a result, at the beginning, everyone was still talking about the roadmap. Things soon turned into gossip about this family and that family. The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, and they talked happily.

Zhang Xiangbei sat for half an hour, then got up and left. On the first floor, Pang Shuangxi saw him and asked:

"Are you going to be very enthusiastic, but you are already going too far off topic, talking about trivial things?"

Zhang Xiangbei smiled bitterly and nodded yes.

"Can't you implement your twelve principles?" Pang Shuangxi asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiangbei said: "They probably forgot a long time ago."

Several people in the office laughed, and Pang Shuangxi said: "It's not surprising, meetings in our bureau are always like this. One-third of the time is spent discussing business, and two-thirds of the time is spent talking nonsense."

From the village committee office downstairs, one could hear the loud voice of Ma Damu’s wife upstairs, laughing and shouting. Pang Shuangxi cursed at Ma Damu:

"Ma Damu, does your wife regard this as your family's agency store?"

Lao Jiao stood up and said, "I'll go up and have a look."

Zhang Xiangbei quickly stopped him and said, "No, Director Jiao, just let them do their best."

Lao Jiao looked at Zhang Xiangbei and didn't know what he meant. Pang Shuangxi looked at Zhang Xiangbei and asked, "The mountain man has a clever plan?"

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said: "There is no harm if there is no comparison."

The morning passed like this, and at 11:30, someone in the conference room stood up and said that they were going home for dinner. Someone else asked if there would be another meeting in the afternoon?

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. No one knows the answer. Let’s go down together and ask Zhang Xiangbei. Zhang Xiangbei asked, have you made a decision? Is it a small change or a major change?

Several people were stunned there. They had long forgotten about this matter. Zhang Xiangbei said:

"Then continue at 1:30 in the afternoon. Now let's go back to eat."

Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

In the afternoon, before half past one, Zhang Xiangbei sat in the conference room and waited for the eight people to arrive one after another. Erpi was the first one to arrive. Zhang Xiangbei asked him to tell him that you would have a meeting in the morning. "What did you say?" Erpi scratched his head and said, as if he didn't say anything and was just talking nonsense.

"Do you think this would be interesting?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"Dick hair!" Erpi cursed and immediately looked at Zhang Xiangbei with some horror. Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said:

"It's not a meeting now, so I won't deduct your money."

Erpi let out a long breath. Zhang Xiangbei still asked him if such a meeting would be interesting. Erpi said, what kind of meeting is this? Why are you in the conference room? My butt hurts from sitting here, so why not sit here? Instead of sitting on the railing of the bridge at the entrance of the village, sit in front of Ma Damu's agency store.

Zhang Xiangbei nodded.

When everyone arrived, Zhang Xiangbei asked them one by one what was going on in the morning meeting. Everyone who was asked looked confused and couldn't hold back a word for a long time. In the end, they all said that even they themselves I also forgot what I said in the morning.

Zhang Xiangbei glanced at everyone and asked, "Since nothing has been said, do you think it is necessary to continue driving this afternoon?"

Everyone was silent, and Erpi shouted: "No need to open it, no need to open it, and open a dick..."

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said: "Since there is no need to hold a meeting, tell me, what is the difference between you and the air? Why should the villagers choose you? They choose you because they want you to hold meetings well and help them make decisions. Yes, have you come up with an idea?"

Some people were unconvinced and said, "We still talked about the road."

"Is there a resolution?" Zhang Xiangbei asked, "Is it a decision to make major changes or minor changes? Who is in favor and who is opposed? Why do those who approve agree? Why do those who oppose oppose?"

The people present looked at each other, how could they know this? Ma Damu’s wife said:

"Building roads is a good thing and no one objects to it."

"That means everyone agrees." Zhang Xiangbei said, "I can let Sanbao and his engineering team enter the village tomorrow, right? Who will tell them where to start, whether it is a small change or a major change, small change What is the construction plan and what are the major changes? Or should we let them do whatever they want and do whatever they want?"

Ma Damu's wife also shut up and was speechless.

Zhang Xiangbei continued: "There are only eight people here, and eight of you can't explain why. What do you think we should do with those more than five hundred households and thousands of people? Also, I said it this morning, the villagers will choose you." I came out just to ask you to give them an idea. How dare you go to the village and tell everyone, sorry, we don’t have an idea either. You just have to decide on your own?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. We are all farmers. We have never held meetings before. We don't know how to hold meetings. Please teach us."

Some people said, and several other people nodded together, that they also felt that it was a bit too embarrassing to sit here and talk nonsense with the subsidy.

Zhang Xiangbei said okay, since you yourself feel that meetings should be held as if they are meetings and you also want to have a good meeting, then let's start from scratch and make this meeting a success, okay?

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Xiangbei re-read the twelve principles of discussion, and then designated a village representative as the moderator. Zhang Xiangbei told him what the moderator should do. The first was the selection of topics. Today’s topic is very important. Simple, it’s just one topic: about the reconstruction of village roads, this topic can be divided into three smaller topics.

The first is whether to make changes, the second is whether to make major changes or minor changes, and the third is how to make changes. These three issues are advanced layer by layer and must be done step by step. If the first one is vetoed, today's meeting will be over. There is no need to discuss the latter two. The first is a resolution. After passing this resolution, the second issue begins.

"If anyone talks about anything unrelated to these issues, about the shortcomings of Zhang's family and Li's family, you should stop him immediately and not allow him to speak again. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xiangbei asked the host, who nodded and said I understand.

Zhang Xiangbei continued: "All issues must be simple, clear and direct. When discussing the first issue, no one is allowed to bring in the content of subsequent issues to say whether they agree with major changes or minor changes. That’s the second issue.”

The host still nodded.

Zhang Xiangbei then told the other seven people what they had to do. The first thing was to raise your hand when speaking. You can only speak when the host calls on you.

"That's right, it's like primary school students in a classroom. The host is the teacher. You have to be called by the teacher before you can speak." Zhang Xiangbei said.

"Do you want to stand up?" Erpi asked.

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said: "You don't need this, just sit down."

Ma Damu's wife and Erpi said, "Then you didn't even raise your hand just now."

"You didn't raise your hand either?" Erpi immediately retorted.

Zhang Xiangbei immediately waved his hand for them to stop, and began to show his own explanation and said to them: "Erpi, sister-in-law, you just violated the rules. Which principle did you violate? Please tell me."

Several people said in unison: "Six."

Zhang Xiangbei was right, "You have violated the sixth principle. Faced with the principle of hosting, what should you do at this time?

"Sister-in-law, you have to raise your hand to the host. You can only speak when the host tells you to speak. Erpi just spoke without raising his hand. Similarly, Erpi cannot immediately refute that you didn't raise your hand either. He also has to speak first. Raise your hand to the host, and the host agrees with him to speak, and then he can say that his sister-in-law didn’t raise her hand just now.”

"Oh my god, that's not exhausting." Ma Damu's wife said.

Zhang Xiangbei nodded: "Indeed, and it seems very verbose. It's unnecessary, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"But do you know why it is set up like this?" Zhang Xiangbei said, "The reason why the rules of procedure are designed like this is to prevent you from arguing. Think about it, if my sister-in-law and Erpi have to raise their hands to the host before they can speak. , the host is impartial, and does not fall to the other side, instead of letting two people face each other directly with guns and swords, can they still quarrel?"

Everyone laughed, how could we quarrel like this? How could there be such a quarrel?

Zhang Xiangbei said: "You all understand, don't let everyone get into a quarrel. Firstly, the meeting can continue, and secondly, everyone can keep their heads calm. Everyone is very excited, and the voting turns into a pique. In this way What’s the point of making a decision?”

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Many rules of procedure are designed like this. They may seem redundant and meaningless, but when they are actually implemented, they all have their own inner truth. Once everyone is used to these rules, they will know how to hold a meeting and have a good meeting. Meeting is not a simple matter," Zhang Xiangbei said.

"Also, when you speak, you must remember that the first thing is to give a positive answer to this issue, whether you agree or disagree. Generally speaking, people who agree don't have much to say, and only those who object can. In other words, if everyone agrees, the issue can be voted on immediately and move on to the next issue, which saves time.

"When you first start, it's best to develop a habit, that is, put your own watch in front of you. Everyone's speech has a time limit. Organize the language in your mind before speaking, and watch it while speaking. Wear your watch and control your time.”

As Zhang Xiangbei said, everyone picked up their watches or mobile phones and put them in front of them to check the time. Erpi didn't have a watch or mobile phone, so Zhang Xiangbei took off his watch and pushed it to Erpi.

"Do you all understand?" Zhang Xiangbei asked everyone, and everyone nodded.

Zhang Xiangbei told the host, it’s up to you, let’s start the meeting now.

The host looked a little nervous. He said, "Let's start with the first topic. Should the road be repaired?"

The other seven people raised their hands, and the host asked them one by one, and they all said they wanted to repair it.

The host looked at Zhang Xiangbei. Zhang Xiangbei nodded. The host said: "Then we will start voting. Those who agree will raise their hands...all passed. Let's start the second topic, major repair or minor repair. Everyone has a say..."

Zhang Xiangbei watched the meeting going on. He suddenly had the feeling that he was like a director directing a meeting. He looked at the people in front of him, each of them was entering their role, with faces on their faces. His expression was serious, and he felt an indescribable comfort in his heart.
