Chapter 61: The Truth!
Things are basically done, Yu Zehai is squatting in front of the computer, and He Bingbing is working hard to improve the "Application Plan for the Construction of Toll Stations on Rural Roads in Yujiaao Village". As for the others, they gathered together and chatted idly, but the mayor didn't speak, and they were embarrassed to leave first.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and when Yu Zehai saw the face of the person who came, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This is an old man in his sixties, with a dark complexion, wearing a suit and pants with frayed cuffs, and the leather shoes on his feet look like they have been mended many times...... If you meet outside, no one will think that this person who is like an old farmer is the secretary of the town party committee and mayor of the steel tough guy who has been "shoulder-to-shoulder" in Panlong Town for decades!
Yu Zehai only knew that this person's surname was Liang, and everyone liked to call him Secretary Liang, but the specific name was not clear. For this person, he is not only familiar, but also deeply influential.
Back then, when Yu Zehai was still in junior high school in Panlong Town, because of his excellent academic performance, he earned a lot of subsidy bonuses from the Yamen every school year, although that money was not much, but it was undoubtedly a relief for him at that time, and it was precisely because of that money every school year that Yu Zehai could study all the way smoothly.
I remember that every year when school started, this old man would go to the town junior high school to attend the opening ceremony of the school. And walked on the podium and personally awarded bonus certificates to some students with excellent grades!
This old man has a distinctive feature that he does not shake hands with his classmates one by one after awarding the awards, but stretches out his big hands full of calluses, touches each student's head one by one, and then says earnestly: "Boys, you are the pride of our Panlong Town, and also the pride of our Panlong Town! We must study hard, study hard, and master scientific and cultural knowledge, and whether our Panlong Town can take off in the future depends on you......
At that time, Yu Zehai didn't know the true meaning of the old man's words, but when Yu Zehai finished college and entered the society and went to work, he finally understood what kind of hope and trust the weather-beaten old man had entrusted to each of their students......
According to the old generation, Secretary Liang has been in the countryside for more than ten years and belongs to a member of the team of intellectual young people who went to the countryside. Therefore, this old man is a cadre who really came up from the bottom, he knows the hardships and difficulties of the bottom countryside, and has been in office for decades, he has always adhered to the principle of "telling the truth, doing practical things, and achieving practical results", with a rigorous and pragmatic personal style, strict discipline in the management team, and amiable treatment of the villagers, and is known as a tough guy by the villagers!
"Grandpa Liang!"
Yu Zehai was sitting in front of the door, so he was the first to see someone coming.
"Are you a baby?" Seeing the young man in front of him, Secretary Liang glanced at it slightly, stretched out his calloused hands again, touched Yu Zehai's head, and said: "Yu Laosan has told me about your affairs, so courageous! good ambition! Good look! Good boy!"
"This is what I should do, boy!" Yu Zehai wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Grandpa Liang, over the years, although I have been wandering and drifting in a foreign place, but I always remember the words you said when you presented me with the award on the rostrum of the town junior high school!" After speaking, Yu Zehai took two steps back, bowed deeply to the old man, and said: "Grandpa Liang, if it weren't for the spur and encouragement of your words back then, there would be no Yu Zehai today, thank you!"
"Okay, good!" The old man hurriedly helped Yu Zehai up, and said three good words, then nodded with a smile and said: "It's rare! It's rare that someone still remembers what I said back then, you thank me, and I want to thank you today! Because you kid has completed my obsession for many years, and in you, I also faintly see the future glory of our Panlong Town!"
"Grandpa Liang, boy, I came back this time to lead the villagers to make a fortune and become well-off! Now I have projects, technology, funds, channels, teams, and experience in the operation and management of large group companies, and it is only a matter of time before I succeed!
Bang Bang Bang ......
"Good, good!"
The old man clapped his palms and said over and over again: "Miwa, you have released a super satellite to our town, I believe what you said is the truth, come on!" After speaking, Secretary Liang's eyes glanced around, and said coldly: "What are you doing stupidly? Do you think Yu Xiaozi is bragging? Or do you think I'm confused? Let me tell you, do you know the 'Zhenwei Pavilion' in the provincial capital?" It is said that the minimum consumption standard for each table is not less than 40,000 yuan, and the seats reserved in advance have been lined up for three months. And all the vegetables grown by Yu Xiaozi were sold to Zhenwei Pavilion for 100 yuan a catty, and they also signed a long-term supply and marketing contract. 100 yuan per catty of vegetables, this is not 10 yuan 1 yuan, let me ask you who here can do it? How many people in China can do it?"
Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang Bang ......
For a while, there was even more enthusiastic applause in the conference room.
When everyone sat down, Secretary Liang coughed lightly and said: "Originally, I have been cultivating at home during this time, and the work in the town is presided over by Hu Yatou, Hu Yatou is highly knowledgeable and has outstanding ability, and I am very relieved to preside over the work of our town." But when it comes to building roads in Yujiaao Village, I have to make a trip myself. ”
"Yujiaao Village must be clear to all of us here, it is located in the middle of the big green mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is almost a semi-isolated place. This rural road is too long and the road is mostly steep, and the construction is very difficult and expensive. Let's just talk about it behind closed doors today, if there are no major discoveries or high-value projects in this village, it will be difficult for the state to spend millions of dollars to build this road. In recent years, although the state has also invested heavily in infrastructure projects in various places, think about it, if there is no return and income on investment, will anyone be willing to pay this money for waste?"
"Because of this, the road of Yujiaao Village has always been a heart problem for me over the years. Expecting the villagers to raise their own funds to build roads? That's just a big joke! What kind of life are the villagers of Yujiaao Village? Presumably, everyone knows in their hearts, counting on the 300-odd poor families to raise tens of millions of dollars to build roads? Is this possible? Therefore, when Yu Laosan was still on duty, I went to Yujiaao Village more than once to discuss this issue with him personally.
Speaking of this, the old man covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly: "I, the secretary of the town party committee and mayor of the town, who is 'shoulder-to-shoulder', have dreamed of building roads, and I also want to solve the problems of people's livelihood for all the villages in the district, but what can I do? Our Panlong Town is located on the edge of Daqing Mountain, the secondary and tertiary industries are extremely underdeveloped, there are no decent enterprises in the town, there is no tourism revenue, and the annual financial income of the town is only more than one million, and the public officials in the jurisdiction must be paid wages on time every month...... I remember one year when I really didn't have any money, I owed two months' salaries to the teachers and staff in the district, so I went to all the primary and secondary schools in the district one by one and explained good things to the teachers in person......
Listening to Secretary Liang's words, everyone in the conference room was in tears, especially a few older leaders, who may have experienced the "most difficult and dark" years, so they cried even more at this moment.
"Secretary Liang is right!" Yu Zeming wiped a handful of tears and said in a low voice: "When the wages were in arrears, I remember that Secretary Liang found my grandfather, and then the villagers in our village made up five yuan for your family and ten yuan for my family, or paid the three teachers on time." In the end, when the town finance money arrives, it is up to Accountant Tang to personally come to the town government to receive the money and return it to the villagers, right?"
"That's right!" Tang Mingde drooped his head and smoked the cigarette pouch and pot, and his eyes were also moist.
"As for the road construction in our village," Speaking of this, Yu Zeming's eyes swept over Tang Mingde and Yu Zehai's faces, and then he said in a low voice: "It can be regarded as a few people from our village committee, and together with Secretary Liang, they lied to all the villagers...... Based on the real situation of our village and the relevant policies of the state, a special natural village like our Yujiaao Village cannot enjoy compensation and national policy support. Because it is impossible for the state to spend tens of millions of dollars to build a road that has no benefits or returns. ”
"It's one thing to know the truth, but you can't let the villagers despair, right?" Speaking of this, Yu Zeming stretched out his hand and grabbed his head hard, and said sadly: "Therefore, at every villager meeting, several members of our village committee have to pretend to smile, and promise the villagers again and again that we will actively reflect the situation to the leaders of the town government, and the road at the entrance of our village will be opened no matter what...... But in fact, we can't do anything, after all, we can't raise so much money on our own, and even if we withhold all the financial revenue of the town government, we have to accumulate it for at least 10 years!"
"Alas......"
Hearing this, Yu Zehai sighed, he reached out and patted Yu Zehai and Tang Mingde's shoulder, and said: "I can understand! Brother Ming, Uncle Tang, you have done a good job in this matter! However, fortunately, now that things have turned the page, what greets our Yujiaao Village is a more brilliant tomorrow! Let's come on, for the sake of our homeland!"
"For the homeland!"
"For the homeland!"
......
A fist with only strength finally collided at this moment!
