In the afternoon of the same day, Xin Dongfeng gave Geng Zhiyuan a detailed report on the matter, and Geng Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it just 20,000 yuan?" ”

Xin Dongfeng reminded: "Mr. Geng, we gave 20,000 yuan this time, I'm afraid they will increase it next time." ”

"Yes. Geng Zhiyuan pondered: "There is no other way down the mountain in our village?"

Xin Dongfeng said: "The originally planned highway will pass through the mountain in the south of our village and directly connect to the provincial road in the south of the mountain to form a ring road. But then the money in the town was not enough, and the repair ended in our village, and we did not continue to repair it further south. ”

"Oh?" Geng Zhiyuan said in his heart, "Have you estimated how much it will cost to build this road?"

Xin Dongfeng recalled: "At that time, I asked the technicians of the road construction headquarters, and they said that the road from our village to the provincial road below the mountain was no more than five kilometers, and the cost was about more than one million yuan. ”

"More than a million?" Geng Zhiyuan secretly said to himself, building roads is really a big project that costs money.

Xin Dongfeng added: "But when we were building roads, the villages volunteered to contribute, and the stones were also made from local materials, and the biggest cost was cement and explosives. According to this algorithm, 500,000 yuan can be done. ”

Compared with more than 1 million, 500,000 yuan is much less. Geng Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "I suggest you persuade the villagers to build the road, although it is a bit detour to the south, but the provincial road is much easier to walk than the village road, which can not only save two-thirds of the time, but also avoid the roadblock of Xiashan Village." ”

Xin Dongfeng was a little moved and said: "But there is no money, I just saw some money in the village collective account, and it was still given by your water plant, and it is far from enough to build roads." ”

"There are always more ways than difficulties, and if you don't have enough money, you can go to the fate. Geng Zhiyuan said briskly: "On behalf of Qingquan Company, I sponsored 200,000 yuan to repair roads in the village, and you can find a way to find the town for the rest." ”

Building roads is a great good for future generations, and it can also make your name in history. Oh no, the history of the village is preserved. Xin Dongfeng was quite moved and said, "I'll think about it first." ”

Three days later, Xiashan Village and Taohua Village each got 20,000 yuan, and Ji Hongyu said proudly: "Secretary Xin, your car can go as you like, let's talk about it in Xiashan Village." ”

Xin Dongfeng secretly scolded him for being shameless, but said: "Please also ask the villagers in Xiashan Village to be more considerate of our difficulties and not to stumble again." ”

"Well said, well said. Ji Hongyu was naturally full of joy when he got the money.

Zeng Chunrong quietly stuffed the money back to Xin Dongfeng, and whispered: "Dongfeng, we can't take this kind of money with a bad conscience in Peach Blossom Village." Please tell Mr. Geng, can you invite him to come to our village, and also help us think of a way to get rich. ”

Who said that honest people don't have great wisdom, Xin Dongfeng looked at him in surprise and said, "Lao Zeng, what you said is true?"

Zeng Chunrong smiled honestly: "The people in our village are straight, not as many twists and turns as the people in some villages. ”

"Okay!" Xin Dongfeng praised and said, "I must tell Mr. Geng your request, and try to let him go to your village." ”

Afterwards, Xin Dongfeng told Geng Zhiyuan about Zeng Chunrong's request, and Geng Zhiyuan said strangely: "I didn't expect that there would be a dragon and a crouching tiger in the small mountain village, and there is such a wonderful person as Zeng Zhishu, it is difficult for Peach Blossom Village to be rich or not." ”

"Mr. Geng, do you really want to help Peach Blossom Village?" Xin Dongfeng doubted.

Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "There is a way to repay the peach, people show favor to us, and we can't lose our courtesy, right?"

Xin Dongfeng felt the same way: "Lao Zeng and Ji Hongyu are not the same kind of people at all, Peach Blossom Village has been working hard under his leadership, and almost all the mountains have been planted with trees. There are all peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, and walnut trees, but unfortunately there is a problem with the market, and there are good things that cannot be sold at a good price. ”

"The first rich lead the latter to become rich, and common prosperity is the ultimate goal. Geng Zhiyuan said with emotion: "We are a hard-working and brave nation, and the common people are not afraid of hardship and poverty, but they are afraid that they will not have a head." Since Peach Blossom Village is a village that is willing to do practical things, we can naturally help. ”

"Mr. Geng is really a person who does great things!" Xin Dongfeng took the opportunity to flatter.

Geng Zhiyuan said: "Don't slap me on the back yet, it's a matter of getting the road repaired as soon as possible." ”

"In the past two days, I convened the members of the village committee to communicate, and everyone was choked by the deliberate blocking of the road in Xiashan Village this time, and it was unanimously agreed that the whole village would work together to open up the road in Nanshankou, and let Xiashan Village eat. Xin Dongfeng said ambitiously.

"Okay. Geng Zhiyuan said happily: "There is a way that people's hearts move together, and only when everyone is united can things be done." ”

"Tomorrow I will go to the town to find Zheng Zhen and ask for some more money from him for road repairs, and if it is not enough, we plan to make it together with the whole village. It seems that after Qingquan Village was stimulated, its determination to build the road was very firm, and even Xin Dongfeng was categorical when he spoke.

Geng Zhiyuan couldn't help except for some money to repair the road in Qingquan Village. And the matter of poverty alleviation and prosperity in Peach Blossom Village has to be thought about.

In late March, the nitrate project of the Haibin County Fertilizer Plant officially started, and with soldiers under his hands, there was no need for Geng Zhiyuan to personally go into battle to engage in design. Compared to the specific design, the project management work is relatively easy, and he has plenty of time to spend on other tasks.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Geng Zhiyuan drove Li Xing to Taohua Village to inspect and see if he could help the village find a way to get rich.

Zeng Chunrong and other villagers in Taohua Village are not familiar with Geng Zhiyuan, but they are very familiar with Li Xing. It turned out that among the villages up and down the mountain, only Qingquan Village Primary School had the best teaching conditions and the strongest teachers. Therefore, many families in Taohua Village would rather go a long way to send their children to study in the primary school in the mountains, so they also met Li Xing, a famous "foreign beauty teacher" in the village.

Zeng Chunrong took the two of them to visit the orchards of apricot groves, peach groves, pear groves and walnut trees in the village. Geng Zhiyuan has no experience of living in the countryside, so he is very blind to all kinds of fruit trees, and he can't tell which one is which, and he can't think of any good way to get rich for a while.

Li Xing was thoughtful, took out his notebook and kept jotting down something. After having a pure peasant meal at Zeng Chunrong's house, the two of them got in the car and left the village.

Walking down the mountain road, Geng Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of Li Xing frowning and pondering while driving, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What, what good idea have you come up with?"

Li Xing turned his head and smiled at him: "Mr. Geng, I heard that you have not lived in the countryside, so you must not know how hard the life of the ordinary people in the mountains is." ”

"How hard is it? You can't wear clothes, you can't eat?" Geng Zhiyuan joked.

Li Xing's face changed slightly, and he said quietly: "When I first came here five years ago, there was no road in the mountain. I saw with my own eyes that there was a poor family with only one pair of pants for three children. Whoever goes out wears, whether it is a boy or a girl, can only wear no clothes at home. ”

"Impossible, right? Can you still be so poor?" Geng Zhiyuan said in disbelief.

Li Xing sighed and said, "There are many people in the mountains and little land, the land is still very barren, and the grain output is very low. Before the highway was opened, the villagers' food and clothing became a problem, so how could they have any money to buy clothes? Later, when the highway was opened, they were able to go down the mountain to the provincial capital to sell their physical labor, and the people's lives gradually improved. ”

"You sympathize with them?" Geng Zhiyuan asked with a surprised glance at her.

Li Xing nodded and said, "After all, I have lived here for four or five years, although the village is poor, they take good care of me, and I can't forget them." ”

She continued: "You are a good person, and you are willing to come here to invest in helping the people get rid of poverty, and personally, I admire you very much." ”

Geng Zhiyuan went to Qingquan Village to build a pure water plant because he took a fancy to the business opportunities here, and he couldn't help blushing when Li Xing praised him like this: "I'm not as noble as you say, and I'm also here to make money." ”

Li Xingwan smiled and said, "I just like your straightforwardness." What's wrong with making money? Didn't you say that village-enterprise cooperation can build a win-win situation. You have made money by building a factory here, and the villagers have the opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich, and everyone has a harvest, so what's wrong with that?"

"I'm a little embarrassed to let you say that. Geng Zhiyuan said: "I'm really not that noble, I just want to take the opportunity to make some money." ”

Li Xing smiled and said, "Then you have to be noble this time, and you have to help me if you say anything." ”

"Wouldn't it, how can you help Peach Blossom Village and you have an idea so quickly?" Geng Zhiyuan said curiously.

"Hmm!" Li Xing pondered, "It's just a preliminary plan, and I haven't thought of the specific details yet." ”

"That's better than me, too. Geng Zhiyuan complained: "I'm dazzled by this tree and that tree, and I can't think of any good way to do it." ”

Li Xing smiled: "You haven't lived in the countryside, it's understandable. ”

"How do you want to help them?" Geng Zhiyuan didn't hold back after all, and still asked.

Li Xing blinked his beautiful eyes and said, "I plan to build a fruit processing factory in the village to do high-quality fruit export and takeaway." In addition, a set of canning production lines will be put on which perishable fruits, such as peaches, can be made into canned food for export. ”

Geng Zhiyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took a long time before he said, "Is your idea feasible?

Li Xing smiled faintly and said, "There must be, otherwise can I talk and play?"

She paused and said, "I...... Lack of funds, want to cooperate with you on this project, what do you think?"

Geng Zhiyuan said calmly: "You have to discuss this matter with Su Qing, she is the boss of Qingquan Company." ”

Li Xing pursed his lips and looked at him and said, "What's the matter, are you worried that she will be jealous when dealing with me?"

Geng Zhiyuan said in his heart: "Don't worry, that's sure and I will definitely be jealous, if I don't make trouble, I have to kneel on the keyboard when I go home." Lu Yi's matter is enough to stimulate Qingqing, I won't be stupid enough to make similar mistakes again. ”

"You better discuss with her, after all, our family's money is in her hands, and she can only do it. Geng Zhiyuan prevaricated.

Li Xingshan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll find the housekeeper of your family." ”

Su Qing was wary of Li Xing early and disliked her beauty and seductiveness, for fear that her husband would be seduced by her and entangled. So Li Xing wants to cooperate with her, I'm afraid it's whimsical and difficult to achieve.

Geng Zhiyuan felt guilty about his wife, so even if the prospect outlined by Li Xing was very good, he would not cooperate with her behind his wife's back, and he would never take a step beyond Lei Chi unless he had his wife's consent.
