The Pentium Era - South to North

After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan and Wei Wenfang all began to prepare. On March 5th, the large force coming from Li Yong would take the bus from Qinglong to Anshun, and then from Anshun. The train went bang bang bang, first along the Guizhou-Kunming Line, then along the Shanghai-Kunming Line, arriving in Hangzhou on the evening of the 7th.

Zhang Chen and the others need to make arrangements for their accommodation before the large army arrives.

Zhang Chen's two hundred workers were all arranged to live in dormitories in the Sanbao factory first. After the jobs were reassigned, those who were confirmed to work in the dynamic zone or the Yan'an Road specialty store were then arranged to live on Stadium Road. Come.

Leading the large army to Hangzhou was Lao Huo, the organizing committee member of Li Yong's township. Lao Huo really came with his wife and his daughter, who was in the second grade of junior high school in the township middle school. The township head agreed. How could they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Hangzhou?

Zhang Chen borrowed Qianqian from He Hongmei and asked her to accompany the mother and daughter around.

Zhang Chen also asked Erhuo to drive with Lao Huo. He traveled to several places with Liu Ligan and Wei Wenfang. It took two days to settle everyone down one by one. Only then did Lao Huo During the time, Zhang Chen accompanied his wife and daughter to the West Lake, but Zhang Chen still asked the second-rate guy to drive with them.

At dinner, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan invited Lao Huo's family to dinner at Zhang Shengji. After sitting down in the private room, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan had time to learn more about the situation after they left.

Lao Huo told them that Township Chief Li was rated as an outstanding township chief in Qianxinan Prefecture at the end of last year, and he was about to be transferred.

Li Yong is going to be transferred? Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan were both surprised. Why hadn't they heard Li Yong mention it?

"I'm going to work after the New Year. Mayor Li may not have had time to tell you the news I just got here," Lao Huo said.

"Where will he be transferred?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I've been promoted to the prefectural level and served as deputy secretary of the Youth League State Committee, deputy county level." Lao Huo told them.

"What about the work in the countryside when Li Yong is away?" Liu Ligan asked.

"The new secretary took office at the end of last year. After Township Chief Li leaves, he will definitely transfer township chiefs from other places. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, our township is different now from when you went there. We are no longer disliked by everyone. Our hometown has become a hot commodity. Don’t want too many people to be transferred to our hometown.” Lao Huo laughed.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan looked at Lao Huo, but they had an unknown premonition in their hearts. Why did everything go as Meng Ping expected? Meng Ping, an old turtle in the agency, seemed to have guessed everything.

"Has the construction of your cement plant started?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Not yet, not yet, not so soon." Lao Huo smiled awkwardly.

"Has construction started on your school's teaching building?"

Zhang Chen asked Lao Huo's daughter. Lao Huo's daughter looked at her father, nodded and said, "It's already being built."

"Then you can go to the new classroom next semester?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Next semester, I will be in the third grade of junior high school."

Xiaohuo was about to speak but stopped, Zhang Chen said, isn't he still in the rural middle school in the third grade of junior high school?

Xiao Huo looked at her father and fell silent. On the side, Lao Huo's wife couldn't hold it in any longer. She glared at Lao Huo and shouted:

"There's nothing else that can't be said. Boss Zhang and Boss Liu are both our own people. You can't say that, as far as I'm concerned, our entire township is now complaining about Township Chief Li. What promotion or promotion? To put it nicely, in fact There are people who are trying to get the money, and now that Mayor Li is gone, I wonder if they can continue to do it."

"Yes, our principal also said that if Chief Li leaves, our township will be finished. Whatever happened before, we will still go back."

Lao Huo's daughter also said that the principal she was talking about was probably the principal Geng whom Zhang Chen and the others had met.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan looked at Lao Huo, and Lao Huo sighed, and then told Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan the whole story.

Lao Huo told them that after the new secretary came, he thought that the current cement market was not very good. If a cement plant was built, the money would probably be wasted. He thought it would be better to use the money to enrich the market. Rural two-level collectives.

"What enriches the two-level rural collectives is not just having money to eat and drink." Lao Huo's wife scolded from the side.

"The cement market is not good right now. When your cement plant is completed, it will get out of the trough again. The price of building materials has always been ups and downs." Liu Ligan said.

Lao Huo said that Township Chief Li thought so too, but there was no way. He was outnumbered. In terms of rank, this secretary was the top leader in the township, squad leader, and with the money you sponsored, Mayor Li did it again. A decision was made on how to use it, which required the village directors of the four villages to make a joint decision.

The secretary said that the money would be used to enrich the two-level rural collectives, and promised to allocate 300,000 yuan to each village collective. With such a large amount of income, how could the village directors disagree.

"But this is killing the goose to lay eggs. Once the cement factory is built, it will be a hen that can lay eggs in your village. This village will have a large income every year. With money, you can do many other things. If this money is divided , will be divided, then Principal Geng is right, in this case, your hometown will return to what it was like before." Zhang Chen said.

Lao Huo shook his head and said, "Who doesn't understand this? That's what Mayor Li said, and we know that's it, but those people don't care about that."

"The secretary, when he has money, he will take good care of the higher ups and let the inspection teams who come one after another eat and drink well. After the money is spent, he will just pat his ass and leave. Maybe he will be promoted. How can he care about this? ." Lao Huo's wife scolded, "Those village directors, if they get the money this year and spend it this year, they will be replaced next year without even knowing whether they will be the director or not, let alone care."

"What's even more irritating is that I heard our principal scolding him." Xiaohuo couldn't help it anymore and said to Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan.

"What are you scolding?" Zhang Chen asked.

"In our school, as well as the teaching building of the township primary school, Mayor Li originally planned to build a three-story building so that all classes could be put in it. Now, it would be a pity not to use the old classrooms, and the result will be... Only two floors were built. We, the third grade students and the fourth and fifth grade students, still have classes in the original classrooms.

"Our principal publicly scolded me at the whole school meeting, saying that even this money must be withheld. Those of you who withhold money are just moths and bastards." Xiaohuo said.

"I think the scolding is absolutely correct, Lao Geng is also willing to fight for it!" Lao Huo's wife said.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan listened and felt angry and sad, but their hearts felt chilly. It seems that if a place is poor, it is not without reasons. Objective conditions leading to poverty are only one of the reasons.

Liu Ligan said to Lao Huo angrily, "Lao Huo, you can take my words back and tell those people that originally, three million was just the first step for our sponsorship. We will continue to have a second one." Three million, and the third three million. In your township, there will not only be cement factories, but also other factories.

But now, it is impossible for us to sponsor another dime and let them do what they want.

After dinner, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan sent Lao Huo and his family back to the hotel. They immediately called Meng Ping and told him what had happened. Meng Ping sighed and said, there is nothing new under the sun. It's really the same everywhere, but even if they have to steal a floor of the school's teaching building, I still overestimated the bottom line of these bastards' lives.

They thought that the one who felt the most depressed and painful now must be Li Yong. Meng Ping said it was okay. I would call him tomorrow and I knew how to persuade him.

The next day, Zhang Chen bought air tickets from Hangzhou to Guiyang for Lao Huo and his family, and asked them to take a bus back to Guiyang. Xiao Huo was so happy when he heard that he could fly, and Zhang Chen Let Xiao Zhao take his wife and daughter to the department store to buy clothes and stationery. Xiao Zhao asked, why can't we get the clothes in our own store?

Zhang Chen told her that returning to simplicity is what people in the city need to return to. They are already simple, so why should they return? How many people from rural areas have you seen who would go to half an acre of land to buy cotton and linen clothing?

Xiao Zhao smiled and understood.

Meng Ping called Li Yong and told him that they knew everything.

Li Yong frustratedly told Meng Ping on the phone that his arms could not twist his thighs, my buddy's cement plant was gone, and I was planning to write a resignation report.

"You've been promoted, why are you resigning?" Meng Ping said with a smile.

"Shengfa is just trying to push me away." Li Yong scolded, "I won't accept this kind of trick."

"Li Yong, do you still want to do something? To put it more broadly, do you still want to benefit the village? If I miss you, just stay there. If others support you, you can just go with the flow. If you don't want to, you can come to my place as the vice president. This is The seat is reserved for you at any time, do you want to try again?"

"How to fight?"

"Didn't you just say that your arms can't twist your thighs? Then why can't you become the thigh yourself? Going to the state now is a good opportunity. You, Li Yong, have the ability to do things, but you don't have a platform, then you can give it to yourself Create a platform for yourself. If you still want to do something, go to the state. Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on climbing up.

"When you become governor, Li Yong, what you can serve and change will no longer be a township, but a state or several counties. Don't you want to give it a try?"

Li Yong listened to Meng Ping's advice and went to Wenshan Prefecture to become deputy secretary of the Youth League State Committee.

In May, the second batch of "Li Xiangchang" wine arrived. Lao Liu's "Li Xiangchang" was out of stock. When he saw Liu Ligan carrying it back, he quickly took a bottle, opened it, took a sip, and "Pfft" " He spit it out loudly and cursed:

"What the hell, it's been mixed with water!"

Liu Ligan ran over and took a sip to try. He quickly told Lao Liu, "Don't drink it. Don't drink it. You'd better drink your Yanghe."

When Liu Ligan called Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen was also about to call him. The two wanted to say the same thing.

They thought about it and paid the balance of the wine, but "Li Xiangchang" wine came to an end.

Also, Mayor Li is no longer here, so how can the wine of Mayor Li still maintain its fragrance forever?

It’s just a pity that Zhang Chen designed the wine bottle.
