CHAPTER XXIV

The bus sped down the highway.

Zhang Xuejun sat by the window, staring into the distance through the glass, the buildings and trees on the side of the road outside the window quickly "fell" backwards, he leaned on the backrest, closed his eyes and pondered...

Yesterday afternoon, when the village was holding a meeting to discuss the next stage of targeted poverty alleviation, Zhang Xuejun suddenly received a call from the town office, informing him to gather at the town office the next morning and go out to visit and study.

At half past six in the morning, Long Dajun rode a motorcycle to send Zhang Xuejun to the town early.

Deputy Secretary Xing and several village secretaries and first secretaries were already standing and chatting in the town courtyard before him.

As the number of people increased, the silent courtyard gradually became lively, and you said a word, he said a word, and chatted with each other.

Almost all have a common idea, stay in the village all day, and now have the opportunity to come out and relax.

Through chatting and talking, Zhang Xuejun became clear that the destination of this trip was J County, H Province, and the main purpose was to inspect and learn the work of targeted poverty alleviation.

Because of the distance, it is estimated that it will take at least three or four days.

The township participants came to the District Poverty Alleviation Office one after another. Zhang Xuejun took a look, there were some acquaintance leaders, village secretaries and first secretaries, and many people who met for the first time. Everyone greeted each other, and the familiar ones even joked.

It is estimated that there are more than 40 people who go out to study, and there are nearly 50 people who lead the team in the district, which is just enough to fill a bus.

Since it was a provincial inspection and study, the district attached great importance to it, and the district party committee office was responsible for organizing, and the deputy secretary and deputy head in charge of agriculture personally led the team.

Everyone happily got on the bus and sat down, and the bus started slowly and headed for the highway.

In order to reflect the importance of this inspection and study, cherish the rare opportunity to go out for inspection, and earnestly achieve the harvest of inspection and study, as the highest leader of the inspection team, the deputy secretary stood in the car and put forward several requirements for this inspection and study.

The deputy secretary's surname is Jiang, a short and fat man about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. Two years ago, he was promoted to Jiangzhou District as deputy head from the post of secretary of a township in P County, and was transferred to deputy secretary at the beginning of this year.

More than 10 years ago, after graduating with a master's degree in economics, Deputy Secretary Jiang was introduced by the city as a special talent and directly served as a department-level cadre in the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau. In less than two years, he was sent to a township in P County as deputy secretary and mayor, and five years later, he was promoted to secretary of the town party committee.

I have heard that Jiang's work ability is quite tough, his work is very attractive, and he is particularly able to attract investment, and there are several 1 billion yuan projects alone. Over the years, the townships and towns led by Jiang have always been among the top 10 townships in the city's economy.

In about 10 years, he has been promoted from a section-level cadre to a deputy department-level leader, and it can be said that he is a rising political star with an unlimited future.

A leader is a leader, and no matter what the occasion, the speech is as unambiguous. Deputy Secretary Jiang first gave an account of the purpose and requirements, guiding ideology, task requirements, and discipline requirements of this inspection.

The key is that I didn't read the manuscript, and I spoke for more than an hour without repetition or trembling. Awesome! There is a level! Zhang Xuejun secretly admired.

Zhang Xuejun listened to it for a long time, and almost fell asleep several times with the shaking of the bus. After recalling the leader's speech for a long time, it can be summed up in just a few sentences.

Roughly speaking, at the critical time of the goal sprint in the third quarter, the district organized everyone to go out for inspection and study, which fully reflects the importance that the district attaches to this inspection and study. I also know that everyone usually works hard, so let everyone take this opportunity to relax, which is also a kind of care and understanding for everyone.

I hope that everyone will take this rare opportunity to exchange and learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths, and better promote the successful completion of the task of poverty alleviation in the local area and the village. Finally, it was particularly emphasized that it is necessary to maintain the image of party members and cadres at all times and pay attention to political and personal safety.

After Deputy Secretary Jiang finished speaking, he proposed that the deputy district chief also say a few words, and the deputy district chief sat on his seat and waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Take what you say!"

The deputy secretaries are all members of the Standing Committee, but the deputy district heads are not necessarily, and the deputy district heads in charge of agriculture are generally placed at the end of the team, and it is even more impossible for them to enter the Standing Committee.

Therefore, in terms of organizational ranking, the deputy secretary should be ranked in front of the deputy district head, so he is the top leader of this inspection activity.

The deputy district chief's surname is Hu, about fifty years old, and he is happy all day long, smiling when he sees people, so much that he doesn't look like a man, and he can't even find a beard on his face. Ten years ago, Hu was promoted from the post of director of the district human resources and social security bureau to deputy district head, in charge of rural areas, agriculture and other work, and has been standing still.

I heard that now he is much more low-key, pays more attention to physical health, often organizes table tennis, basketball, and sometimes signs up for full or half marathon competitions. In his words, it's all about engagement.

The bus finally got on the highway and headed for Province H.

Thanks to the China Expressway, it not only makes the moat a thoroughfare, but also makes the city become a corner of the world. At the same time, it also provides strong support for economic and social development.

Looking out the window at the wide-flowing, unimpeded and criss-crossing highways, when will Zhengjiawan Village be built into such a fast channel?

If you want to get rich, build roads first. The road in Zhengjiawan Village has always been the heaviest pain in Zhang Xuejun's heart.

Zhang Xuejun took out his mobile phone and briefly learned about the destination through searching. Province H has a superior location and convenient transportation. The province is dominated by hills and mountains, and basins and valleys are widely distributed, with a slight plain. The province is surrounded by mountains in the west, south and north, and the central hills and river valleys are staggered. The territory is rich in water resources, the water network is dense, the bay ports are intertwined, and the lakes are dotted.

J County is the "East Gate" of H Province and is adjacent to Gangbuk City. It is one of the sub-prefecture-level counties directly under the management of H Province, and occupies a certain proportion in the economic development pattern of the province. The transportation and communication in the territory are developed, the power is sufficient, the mild climate and hilly area provide good conditions and rich tourism resources for the development of J County.

These are two completely different regions, and the resources and locations are too different. The abundant resources of J County are incomparable to those in Jiangzhou District.

Orange is born in Huainan is orange, and born in Huaibei is orange.

What is suitable for J County, Jiangzhou District may not be suitable, and it is impossible to replicate it in Zhengjiawan Village. But why do you want this place to inspect and study? Zhang Xuejun suddenly had difficulty understanding this arrangement in the district.

The bus took a short break in the two service areas on the way, and finally got off the highway near noon and entered the territory of J County, H Province.

The leaders of J County attach great importance to this inspection activity. The reception plan was made in advance, and the inspection route and accommodation and catering were carefully arranged, lest there be any inconsiderateness.

The county leaders in charge made a special trip to wait at the highway intersection to show the host's hospitality.

The bus, led by a black businessman, slowly drove into a hotel near the city center and stopped.

This is a star-rated hotel, and the words "Venus International Hotel" are very eye-catching. There is an endless stream of people coming and going out of the front of the hotel, and the door is full of cars of various colors and models.

Although the decoration of the hotel is not very luxurious and magnificent, it has a feeling of being tall and high-grade at a glance.

Judging from the appearance, it stands out in this county. It seems that J County still attaches great importance to their investigation and study!

Zhang and Deputy Secretary Xing arranged to live in a standard room, and the two had another opportunity to communicate and communicate with each other.

Due to the limited time of the investigation, the itinerary is relatively tight. According to the arrangement of the host J County, everyone had a simple meal at noon, and after a short rest of 30 minutes, they went straight to the first inspection point - River Village.

Before getting on the bus, the inspectors each received a small bag. In the past, this kind of bag was basically filled with local specialties or gifts, and everyone tacitly understood that it was nothing more than a reflection of the owner's place.

Now, it is necessary to pay attention to rules and discipline, and both the visiting and receiving sides dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step. He didn't dare to send it, and I didn't dare to take it.

There is no false pretense such as "not being respectful" and "polite" before.

Therefore, after Zhang Xuejun opened the bag, he found that there was nothing in it except a reception guide, plus a beautifully made introduction to J County and a basic introduction to several inspection sites.

It's better this way, Zhang Xuejun smiled. You sent it, he sent it, and what he sent was the people's hard-earned money, so why bother!

Zhang Xuejun sat in the car and looked at Hecun's introduction.

River Village, as the name suggests, is a village formed close to the river. J County is a large resource county, and the whole terrain is high in the west and low in the east. Surrounded by mountains in the northwest, the water and soil are abundant, and the water resources are abundant.

The water flows downward. For thousands of years, the vicissitudes of the sea have rushed out of a river ditch from west to east, and the mountains and rivers continue to flow to the Yangtze River through the river ditch.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

The more Zhang Xuejun looked, the more interested he became, and he had a good history of the development of the river village. According to the records of J County, since the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the river village has been inhabited and has lived by fishing all year round. In the early years of the Republic of China, there were nearly 2,000 permanent residents in Hecun.

Tasks are contradictory and opposite. Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat.

When there are fish to hunt by the water, there is food and drink, and you thank God for the gift. When there is a flood by water, there is nothing left, and you have to curse the injustice of heaven.

After the reform and opening up, some people moved out for fear of flooding and looked for another way. More people are stuck to the river because of their homeland. They work in the fields when they are busy with farming, go to the river to fish when they are not working, and rely on the weather for food, becoming half-farmers and half-fishermen, and their lives are quite difficult.

After carrying out targeted poverty alleviation activities, after the county team in the village came in, through the efforts of nearly three years, Hecun has undergone earth-shaking changes.
