When Sha Zhengyang arrived in Baoling County, it was already past seven o'clock in the afternoon.

I don't feel it in Handu, but when I arrived at Wuling and Baoling, I felt the strong autumn feeling here.

There is no suitable off-road vehicle in the committee, and Sha Zhengyang is too lazy to compete with other committee leaders, so he directly borrowed a Toyota Land Patrol from Dongfanghong Group, of course, the driver is also together, and takes the mountain and valley roads on the Wuling side.

This is the combination of Wuling Mountain and Qinba Mountain Range, the terrain is wonderful, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the original lush forest is thick because of the autumn clothes and presents a different style, sometimes golden, sometimes fiery red, like a huge black and dark green canvas sprinkled with a lot of brilliant watercolors.

Starting from Handu to Wuling City, where the Wuling District Administration is located, the car drove for 9 hours, on the distance, only more than 300 kilometers, but two-thirds of them are mountain roads, and the winding mountains are steep, the road is narrow and bending, the road is not surrounded by thousands of mountains, or unfathomable canyons, Rao is Ning Yuechan sent to Sha Zhengyang is an old driver who specializes in running mountain roads, but it still took 9 hours to run to Wuling City.

Wuling area under the jurisdiction of one city and six counties, close to four million people, in Hanchuan, a province with a large population, is not much, but for the Wuling area, this is a huge pressure, one city and six counties, except for Wuling City is barely a poor county, the other six counties are national or provincial poverty counties.

Realistically speaking, although Wanzhou also has a few poor counties, but its poverty level is far less than Wuling these counties, its conditions in all aspects are much better than Wuling, just a geographical conditions brought about by the backwardness of infrastructure, it is not at all Wanzhou can be compared, Wanzhou's mountainous areas to compare with Wuling, that is simply a small thing.

There are still 47 kilometers from Wuling City to Baoling County, but these 47 kilometers still have to run for nearly two hours.

Baoling County is built on a U-shaped slope at the foot of the mountain, the scale of the county is not large, with the car line, Sha Zhengyang estimated, probably a few larger streets are still eye-catching, using cement pavement, and more are rugged and narrow alleys, are paved with stone slabs and gravel.

There is also a reason why the county seat is located here, from here it sinks down along the steps, the bottom is the Baoxi River, the provincial highway 225 passes through the lowest place, and then you can reach the Puchi boundary in the southwest.

Baoling and Baoxi River, this is the skeleton of the whole Baoling County, along the Baoling Mountain, which should be regarded as the junction of Wuling Mountain and Qinba Mountain, the karst terrain and crystalline limestone form the fault block mountain staggered, and the valley basin between it has become an important grain crop production area.

Lu Xun roared angrily and rushed up a big slope, and he could see that the lights next to the signboard of the Baoling Hotel had been turned on.

This is the county government guest house restructured, and it is also the best hotel in Baoling County, which has only tens of thousands of residents.

A cadre of people has been tossed to death by the more than ten hours of driving, the eighteen transfers on the winding mountain road are dizzy, Rao is Sha Zhengyang is also a fierce man who has experienced the Handu to Wanzhou for a long time, and he is a little unbearable, not to mention Liang Jinbai and Shi Wen from another political research room.

Liang Jinbai supported his tired body to set the room, and set three rooms, one for Liang Jinbai and Shi Wenlai, one for Sha Zhengyang, and one for the driver Lao Sun, which was solved by Dongfanghong Group itself.

After lying on the bed for half an hour, Sha Zhengyang got up and wiped his face briefly and walked out of the door.

He hasn't contacted Wuling and Baoling County yet, and he just said that he was coming, but he didn't tell the other party the specific time.

He wanted to come to the field to understand first, to see what aspects of Baoling County can consider industrial development in the future, and he can't wait until Governor Wang Province I is here, and everyone can't come up with a decent countermeasure.

Dinner in the small restaurant next to the Baoling Hotel to deal with a meal, the taste is OK, from the mountains of wild vegetables fried bacon is the specialty here, bracken, fir mushrooms, wild scallion and so on are quite rich, there is also wild vegetable soup, a bowl to drink, also very refreshing.

The price is not expensive, take the boss's words, this is also next to the Baoling Hotel, there are more guests, if you change to other streets and alleys, I am afraid the price is cheaper.

Such a sincere boss surprised Sha Zhengyang and his entourage, the simple folk customs often refer to the people in the mountains and wilderness, who are really next to the edge of the city, but in fact, they are cunning and like to compete for profits.

Perhaps it is his honest character, and the price is not much more expensive than those small chicken feather shops around, which can win the recognition of customers, so his business is quite hot.

Because he was too tired, Sha Zhengyang and his entourage went back to their rooms to sleep after eating.

In fact, before coming to Baoling, Sha Zhengyang was thinking about how to make a difference.

Kang Guangliang has said this part, this is a political task, the main leaders of the province are stationed in the county, and the hard indicators, although not necessarily all of them are counted on the head of the Development and Planning Commission, but the Development and Planning Commission, as the first department, you must make suggestions, and it is best to come up with real projects.

However, this is not as simple as just coming up with a project, and it is not difficult for the Development and Planning Commission to find a way to work with Wuling Prefecture and Baoling County to carry out a project at random and get millions of investments.

The key is that you have to make the project profitable, be able to operate normally, and you can't invest this year, start losing money next year, write down assets the year after next, and close the door in less than two years.

The leaders are not stupid, they will not understand this, and if they want to do this, they are afraid that they will shoot themselves in the foot.

To put it bluntly, you have to come up with a project suitable for the development of Baoling, a project that can fully utilize the characteristic advantages of Baoling and existing resources, only such a project can really have vitality, in contrast, the capital is the second place, there is really such a project, it is not difficult to pull capital into the market.

The population of Baoling County is not large, more than 500,000 people, but the area is very large, more than 6,000 square kilometers, of which 80% are mountainous areas, only a few river valleys and dams can be regarded as flat land, but also important agricultural land, and the market towns are basically concentrated in these areas.

In Sha Zhengyang's view, the biggest problem restricting the development of Baoling is the traffic problem, ten hours of traffic to get out of this mountain, for any investor has to consider the problem, one is the cost of transportation, the second is the degree of information well-informed, the third is the choice of industry, this is a problem.

What can Baoling come up with to attract foreign investment? Investors come to you to invest in this place for returns, not to mention any land, taxes, or cheap labor, what you have, Wanzhou, Anxiang, Bayuan, these prefectures and cities can be taken out by any county, and even dare to give better conditions than you, how can you compare?

Shopping around is the norm, these foreign investors are all over the place, everywhere comparison, and finally will fall, as far as Sha Zhengyang grasps the situation, Baoling does not have the conditions to attract foreign investment, even if it is a labor-intensive industry, will not choose this mountainous county with extremely inconvenient transportation and other conditions, this is the gap, but also sad.

Perhaps only after a decade, when the labor-intensive industries in the east are gradually saturated and need to be upgraded, and at the same time, when the level of labor wages begins to rise and these labor-intensive industries begin to feel the wage pressure, they may gradually move to these mountainous counties in the interior, but now even the coastal areas are still trying to attract foreign investment, so this aspect is not realistic.

That's a real problem.

Sha Zhengyang was lying on the bed thinking that if Baoling wants to develop, I am afraid that it still has to work hard from its own characteristics, and it will only be known when I meet the leaders of the county tomorrow.

********

When Lu Zhijian received the pager, it was already past eight o'clock.

He looked at the pager from Qin Du, it was a mobile phone, a little surprised, he didn't want to go back, but after thinking about it, he went to the office and used the office phone to reply to one.

Baoling County is very poor, so poor that it is not generalized, and the county government office only has this telephone that can make long-distance calls, while other telephones can only call the local telephone in the Wuling area.

He only officially came down to work on a temporary basis after the National Day, and he took up the position of deputy director of the Baoling County Government Office.

He was lucky enough to catch up with this batch of people who went down to the local government to take up temporary posts, and after he came back, he could basically solve the actual deputy section, but it didn't matter, so he was assigned to Baoling County, the poorest and farthest county, and arranged to be the deputy director of the county government office.

"Why did it take so long to call?" As soon as I got through, the voice on the other side called.

The voice was very familiar, Lu Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was Wang Yaguang, this kid.

Although it's not the same department as the other party, because everyone likes to play football, they are all on the school football team, but because of physical fitness, they can't play the main team, so they are also sympathetic, and they often chat together, and the two are very familiar with each other.

It's just that Wang Yaguang's family conditions are much better than him, it is said that one of Wang Yaguang's uncles is also a coal mine owner and earns a lot of money, and he is from a poor teaching craftsman family, so although Lu Zhijian is half a year older than the other party in terms of age, but in fact, in terms of human sophistication and maturity, Lu Zhijian has to follow Wang Yaguang all the time.

"Ah, why did you change your mobile phone number?" Lu Zhijian is very familiar with Wang Yaguang's mobile phone number, and this number is not the original Wang Yaguang's.

"It turned out that the mobile phone was replaced by my uncle, and now that the unit has a one, I will return my uncle's one to my uncle. Wang Yaguang briefly explained on the phone, and quickly said: "You are still in the political research office of your administrative office, right?"

"No, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I just came down, there are many things in the unit, I am busy and dizzy, and I have been down for more than half a month, and I haven't had time to tell you, I went down to the county to take up a temporary post. Lu Zhijian is still a little excited, Wang Yaguang has already been the deputy director of the county party committee office, the other person is not a temporary post, but a serious promotion of 800, he is a temporary deputy director of the Baoling County Government Office, and he will not be able to go back to solve the actual deputy section until the expiration of the two years of suspension.

"Which county are you going to for?" Wang Yaguang was quite surprised on the phone and immediately asked.

"Baoling, the farthest and poorest county. Speaking of this, Lu Zhijian was a little frustrated.

I can't compare with Wang Yaguang, this guy is not only shrewd, but also has a family background, so it will be smooth sailing after going back, I originally thought that he would stay in Qindu City, but I didn't expect this guy to go back to the county directly, in his own words, he would rather be a chicken than a cow, and he could develop more smoothly when he returned to Qinghe, and he stayed in Qindu one layer away, and his uncle's relationship may not be useful.
