Shen Huai made a phone call for twenty minutes, and when he came back, he saw Huang Xinliang squatting on the ground with Song Xiaojun and Zhao Liang talking about the merger and running the school.

Song Xiaojun said: "The town can allocate 400,000 yuan, which is enough to build a new primary school here for the children of two villages. Of course, we hope that the sooner the better..."

"What kind of quick method do you want?" said Shen Huai, "If you can come up with a feasible plan now, the town will allocate funds to you tomorrow." ”

Hearing Shen Huai say this, Song Xiaojun was also very excited, he retired from the army and became a village cadre for several years, and he had never seen the town allocate funds so happily, not to mention that he still allocated 400,000 yuan at a time, and said: "Caijiaqiao Village Primary School can first go to our Lishe Village Primary School, and then ask the town to support the construction of two simple houses, and here you can have space to bulldoze and rebuild the new school." If it is fast enough, the next semester will start, and the students from the two villages will be able to study in the new school......"

"Okay," Shen Huai nodded, he didn't expect that this Song Xiaojun was quite bold, this plan was the most efficient, and now Meixi Town was in arrears too fast, and he had to speed up in order to make up for these debts, he pulled Zhu Li to the front and said, "If you want me to say, it's also this suggestion." This is Lao Zhu of Zhujiang Construction, you two villages will bring people together, and the town will be led by Director Huang Xinliang to set up a preparatory group to do this. We invested 400,000 yuan in advance to build only one standard teaching building. However, the town's investment in teaching in your two villages will not stop at 400,000 yuan, so you should have a little foresight when planning your new school......"

Shen Huai looked at his watch and said, "I still have some things, and it's not too early, for specific things, you will come to the town tomorrow to find Director Huang Xinliang......"

The sky was still overcast, and the road was difficult to drive, Shen Huai wanted to go back to the town before dark, so he drove back with Huang Xinliang, Zhu Li, and Shao Zheng.

Sitting in the car, Huang Xinliangcai said: "Is Mayor He responsible for the merger of running schools? There are still many ...... in the affairs of the party and government offices."

It's not that Huang Xinliang doesn't want to be in charge of this matter, he is worried that He Qingshe has an opinion on this.

He Qingshe, as the mayor of the town, is also the director of the Education Office, if He Qingshe knew that this was Shen Huai's decision, after all, no one dared to doubt Shen Huai's authority in Meixi Town now, and no one could doubt it, but he was afraid that He Qingshe would mistakenly think that he had gotten this errand by blowing wind and greedy words at the root of Shen Huai's ears - Huang Xinliang was worried that He Qingshe would give him small shoes to wear.

"Oh, I just discussed with Mayor He two days ago," Shen Huai said, "You used to work in Meixi Middle School, and you are more familiar with running a school than us, so I will recommend you to the district as the deputy mayor." In addition to the fact that you will continue to be in charge of the Party and Government Office, I also want you to be in charge of the Education Office. It may take some time for the appointment to come down......"

Huang Xinliang was stunned there, and had mixed feelings for a while, since Du Jian left Meixi Town last year, he has been worried and cautious about his life, not knowing when he will kick Shen Huai far away, and never expected that Shen Huai would recommend him as the deputy mayor one day.

Although he, the director of the party and government office, is not necessarily worse than an ordinary deputy mayor, he is not a deputy mayor after all.

Huang Xinliang wanted to say words of allegiance or thanks, but he couldn't spit out the words. At this time, the wheels slid violently into a mud pit, a car body went forward to the side, Shao Zheng stepped on the accelerator twice and failed to drive out, Huang Xinliang said: "I'll get out of the car and push the ......" to take the opportunity to hide the inner turmoil.

Shen Huai and Zhu Li also got out of the car together and pushed the car out of the mud pit.

Sitting back in the car, Shao Zheng complained: "Every time I go to the countryside, I have to get stuck in a pit, and it is ......convenient to have an off-road vehicle running around."

Shen Huai said with a smile: "There is no such condition now, if it is two years hard, when the time comes, you can buy an off-road vehicle and drive it yourself, you don't have to pay in the town or factory, and you are not afraid of what others can say......

Shao Zheng smiled and said: "When the time comes, I am afraid that Secretary Shen will be promoted to the district, and I don't want to be a driver...... "He worked as an administrative assistant in Meixi Iron and Steel, and he was considered a middle-level manager in the steel mill, and this restructuring and his wife Qian Wenhui held 1.5% of the shares of the steel plant, second only to Zhao Dong in the management.

After the restructuring, the management will directly participate in the equity dividends, and the year-end bonus plan will naturally be cancelled. Although the conditions are still very difficult, everyone is looking forward to the near future.

Shen Huai asked: "Do you really want to continue driving for me?" Then you will come to the town party and government office, be Huang Xinliang's assistant, and give you the title of deputy director, will you do it?"

"I don't know how to write any articles, will Director Huang dislike me for being an idler?" Shao Zheng glanced back at Huang Xinliang.

Huang Xinliang said: "Where do I dare to dislike you?"

The party and government office mainly focuses on the work of the secretary, so wherever Shen Huai goes, Huang Xinliang usually follows back and forth. Shen Huai recommended Huang Xinliang to be the deputy mayor of the town, although he was also asked to be in charge of the party and government office, but at the same time, he was also asked to be in charge of the education office, so there was no way to let him follow the front and back, so he transferred Shao Zheng to the town party and government office as the deputy director.

"Today is Mayor Huang and Director Shao Gao Sheng, am I here to celebrate?" Zhu Li sat in the passenger seat and asked lively.

"If you want to corrupt the party members and cadres in the town, you also have to invite wine while I am not there to be sincerity," Shen Huai joked, and asked Zhu Li again, "How many times have you been in contact with Song Xiaojun from Lishe Village, what do you think of him?"

Zhu Li saw that Shen Huai suddenly asked what he thought of Song Xiaojun, and glanced back, wondering if Song Xiaojun had left a bad impression on Shen Huai.

"What can't you say, and you still have to look at my face?" Shen Huai asked angrily.

Zhu Li smiled and said, "From our company's point of view, Song Xiaojun is too tricky to deal with. Don't look at him as docile in front of you, when we contact him and talk about demolition and resettlement, his words are not very good. However, objectively speaking, he is quite capable and driven, and has a high prestige among the villagers. If he had been the village director for two more years, the appearance of Lishe Village would have been better than it is now. I think that the demolition work should be done well, and doing his work is the most important thing. Secretary Shen, you just shot 400,000 yuan, I think it was to calm him, and the next work should be much simpler......"

Shen Huai nodded and said to Huang Xinliang: "A lot of work, don't blindly force the village to bow your head, you know, our ultimate goal is to build Meixi Town." Mr. Zhu's evaluation of Song Xiaojun is quite high, you also have more contact with this Song Xiaojun, if there is anything, let him take more ideas, as long as the ideas are taken by him, his enthusiasm will be high, and the town can save a lot of trouble. ”

Huang Xinliang could see that Shen Huai was also quite satisfied with the village director of Lishe Village, and he also knew that township cadres usually looked down on village cadres, and if the two villages of Lishe and Caijiaqiao had just come over, the mentality of the village cadres would be more sensitive, knowing that Shen Huai was vaccinating him, and not causing unnecessary conflicts because of work attitudes.

Huang Xinliang nodded yes, and Shen Huai continued: "The two villages of Lishe and Caijiaqiao are nested in the east mouth of the Meixi River and the Zhujiang River, there is no bridge and no crossing, and after liberation, a decent highway has not been built to communicate with the outside world. Hetang was originally an economically backward township in Xiapu County, and the two villages of Caijiaqiao and Lishe were famous poor villages in Xiapu County. In the past two years, I have read the information handed over by Hetang, and there are less than 800 households in the two villages, and one-sixth of them are extremely poor, which is really very poor. These two villages are so poor, they may be a burden in the eyes of others, but they are treasures in the eyes of my Shen Huai, do you know why?"

"Secretary Shen, you are far-sighted, we don't have your vision. Huang Xinliang said flatteringly.

The reason why Shen Huai promoted Huang Xinliang was that Huang Xinliang had not thought about him during this period of time, and more importantly, Huang Xinliang did have two brushes, so he was recommended to be the deputy mayor.

Shen Huai didn't want to see Huang Xinliang's vulgar political life completely sunk, and the best way was to give him a chance to stand alone.

Shen Huai didn't want to have any friendship with Huang Xinliang, sometimes some things are purely based on understanding, he continued the topic just now, and said: "The two villages have a three-kilometer-long Zhu River shoreline, which is close to the mouth of the sea, and the waterway is excellent. After the preliminary survey, the channel almost did not need to be dredged, and the 10,000-ton giant ship could be directly berthed near the shore. This provides extremely convenient water transportation conditions for the steel of Meixi Iron and Steel to be transported to the coastal areas and along the Zhujiang River to the hinterland of Huaihai Province and Central Plains Province. The efficiency of water transport is naturally not comparable with that of roads and railways, but the cost is low, only about one-sixth of that of roads and one-third of railways. Today, Meixi Steel's rebar radiates a market of about 300 kilometers, which is also a more suitable distance for road transportation. Even so, the cost of transportation still accounts for about 5-8% of the market price. I asked the marketing department to calculate that once Meixi Iron and Steel's products continue to be transported by road, the market radiation range is between 300 kilometers and 500 kilometers, and the transportation cost will be doubled. Farther out of the market, Meixi Steel will lose its competitiveness due to the lack of price advantages. Even if we do not consider the national market and the possibility of developing overseas markets in the future, if Meixi Steel's rebar can be transported along the Zhujiang River to the areas on both sides of the river, and the transportation cost of raw materials is reduced, the overall profit margin can increase by three to five percentage points. ”

"So much?" Huang Xinliang was also quite surprised.

"Yes, compared with the output value of 400 million, if the profit margin is increased by three to five percentage points, you can earn an extra 10 million or 20 million per year. The investment in the Jianggang Freight Terminal seems huge, and the first phase of the project will cost at least 50 million yuan, but in fact, it will only take two or three years to earn it back," Shen Huai said, "In addition, Caijiaqiao is near the river and river, and it is also suitable for living in the west of Lishe Village." Meixi Iron and Steel will develop into a large-scale iron and steel enterprise in the future, and thousands of employees will gather from all over the world to work for Meixi Iron and Steel, and we will also have to consider the living problems of so many employees and their families. Therefore, from the beginning of my intention to divide the two villages of Caijiaqiao and Lishe from Hetang Town, I considered the merger of the two villages, the overall planning of the industrial zone of Lishe Village, and the overall planning of the residential area of Caijiaqiao Village. It is necessary to build a concentrated residential area near the Caijiaqiao Village Committee and the village school, and to relocate nearly 800 peasant households from the two villages, so as to free up more land for industrial development and construction. ”

Meixi Town has jurisdiction over more than 20 administrative villages, there are still a large number of dilapidated houses to be renovated, this time the 400,000 yuan directly allocated to the two villages from outside, Huang Xinliang at first also couldn't figure it out, at this time he understood Shen Huai's plan: merging the school, you can make the merger of the two villages start, first build a school, and then demarcate land near the school to build a concentrated residential area, resettle the demolition households, build roads and connect with the town, and the bottom of the matter will be logical.

In addition, only if the town provides financial support to the two villages, it will be possible to eliminate the defensive psychology of the two villages.
