Chapter 168: Building Roads
Ba County can't afford to build a road on its own.
They can find a way to make up the manpower for the battle, but they will have trouble with building materials such as cement, gravel, and fine sand. The rental of construction vehicles needs to find a relationship to get it.
The county magistrate Ru himself was born in Ba County, and he dreamed of turning a poor agricultural county into a strong industrial county. He has also gone to other cities to attract investment, even at the expense of prying the wall. However, both foreign and domestic businessmen just shook their heads when they saw the potholed two-lane highway in Ba County.
Therefore, when he heard that Sioux City was willing to build a road, he secretly paid attention.
Su Cheng didn't hide it, so he said: "I'm going to build two roads first, one is from Jinshan Village to the town, I heard that it is more than ten kilometers." The other is from Jingshan Village to the national highway to the provincial capital, about 20 kilometers, which is not too far. ”
"Not in the county?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "The road from the town to the county can't be repaired by us." ”
County Magistrate Ru smiled awkwardly and said, "The situation in our county, this year and next year, it is estimated that there is no money to rebuild the road from the town to the county." ”
Sioux City let out a noncommittal "um".
Seeing that he didn't take over, the county magistrate Ru still smiled all over his face, and said that people were interested in the topic: "By the way, you said that you want 30 teachers, that is to build a school in Jingshan?"
"Yes. Borrow your teacher first, and then we'll invite ourselves. "In the case of money, the schools for the children of industry and mining are better than the local schools, and neither the treatment of teachers nor the facilities of the schools are on the same order of magnitude. Like the children's schools under PetroChina and Sinopec, until the crossing of Sioux City. It is still a good school in various counties and cities.
During this period, wealthy state-owned enterprises and poor local schools were two parallel lines, and government officials who had the means would usually send their children to state-owned schools, rather than the other way around.
As long as Sioux City is willing to pay for it, it is very simple to build a school with a decent size in Jingshan.
County Magistrate Ru secretly screamed that it was a pity, and he couldn't stop people. only smiled cooperatively: "I must choose teachers well, I don't know how the school recruits?"
"It's okay for all the students in this town, it's bad that there are too few students. However, the school was to be built in front of Jingshan Village. ”
"Not in the village?" said County Magistrate Ru's eyelids jumped.
Su Cheng bowed his head and said, "Jingshan Village has green mountains and green waters. The people coming and going were too chaotic, and I thought that right in front of the village, a large piece of land would be leveled, schools and institutions would be built, and more buildings would be built there, so as to preserve the current state of the village. In this regard, can the county approve it?"
"No problem. County Magistrate Ru didn't even know where the place was, but he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Sioux City nodded in satisfaction. Feedback: "1 million investment, do you have any ideas in the county?"
County Magistrate Ru said busily: "Our county is an agricultural county, making canned food and processing products in the mountains are all good." ”
Sioux City rolled his eyelids. Helplessly: "The canneries in your county are going to close down." ”
County Magistrate Ru touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Su Dong has a new management experience, it must be different." ”
"I'll think about it. Su Cheng didn't invest his money in the sunset industry, and instead said, "County Magistrate Ru, how about we go to dinner first, so as not to start the banquet too late." Hungry everyone. ”
If the two of them don't go, how can the village have a good banquet.
"Go together, go together. County Magistrate Ru still laughed, obviously having a character of becoming more and more courageous.
Officials in this era, if they don't have some psychological endurance, they can't get along.
The banquet is set up under the big locust tree in the village.
When Su Cheng arrived at the place, he found that in addition to the county magistrate Ru, the local mayor and the secretary of the town party committee, as well as the village chiefs of several nearby villages, also came.
Everyone gathered together to talk about the construction of Jingshan Village, and it seemed that they were also happy.
Su Cheng was let at the main table, and sat down side by side with County Magistrate Ru, and as soon as the two arrived, the price of the dishes went up.
As soon as I started eating, there was a tsunami of rice gouging around me, and a dish could only survive for 20 seconds before someone poured the soup into the bowl.
To Su Cheng's surprise, everyone divided the vegetable soup in a very orderly manner, and after anyone got one, they often wouldn't grab another.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he also joined the army of food grabbers.
I have to say that this way of eating is still very powerful. Ordinary meals, after such a grab, have become delicious.
The first 6 dishes disappeared almost instantly.
The seventh dish was unexpectedly peanuts, and the mayor and village chiefs seemed to be familiar with the situation, and with a gentle wipe of their mouths, they began to drink and eat peanuts, as if they had never happened before.
Xu Baoming said to Su Cheng with a smile: "The conditions are good now, look at it, six dishes have been eaten for so long......"
Sioux City.
In his heart, he was slightly helpless. The first six dishes are just some ordinary dishes, nothing more than "mushu pork", "spicy chicken", and "braised pork", but the people in the village regard them as rare delicacies. In contrast, the life of the oilfield people is much better, especially now, there is not necessarily meat for a moment, and you can always afford to eat it......
If you look at other tables, it's a similar situation. Sioux City sighed secretly.
When County Magistrate Ru saw it, he hurriedly glanced at Xu Baoming.
Xu Baoming pretended to pay attention to peanuts and ignored him.
The county magistrate Ru then winked at the mayor again.
The latter was helpless, put down the wine glass, and said, "Su Dong." Now life in the countryside is actually very good. When you were in school, everyone was still eating coarse grains, but look at the current situation, every household has white flour and white rice, and the clothes they wear are new. ”
The secretary of the town party committee also cooperated: "The ones we wear are indeed not as new as those in the city, but they are almost the same." If you want to eat, we all have pigs, mainly because we are reluctant to eat, not nothing. ”
Su Cheng was laughed at by him, and said, "If you are reluctant to eat, doesn't it mean that you don't have to eat?"
"After all, there is, everyone is happy when they see it. The secretary of the town party committee felt that the task had been completed, and he lowered his head and began to drink again.
Xu Baoming didn't like their cover-up and snorted. Said: "The New Year pig is to be exchanged for money. Otherwise, all year round, there is no money left in hand, how to live. We are in the countryside, and we are different from your urban cadres. ”
"Village Chief Xu, selling pigs for money is something that everyone is willing to do. County Magistrate Ru squeezed his eyes desperately, and said: "Our county is indeed poor. But the difficulties are temporary, and when we build the road, we will naturally be able to recruit factories. Let everyone work in the factory and make more money......"
Most of his words were addressed to Sioux City.
Sioux City pretended not to hear.
The seventh course was quickly served.
When everyone starts to shift their attention. Suddenly, someone asked: "Chengzi, I heard that you can get the entry index, can we go?"
This is a question that Jingshan people have wanted to ask for a long time, and in an instant, the "snoring" sound of eating has disappeared without a trace.
There were only a few children, who took the opportunity to eat violently, as if they had won a red envelope.
Several cousins and uncles were even staring at Sioux City. The Xu family has few daughters and many men, and there has long been a surplus of labor, so entering the factory can not only solve the problem of eating. It can also change from a rural hukou to an urban hukou. For people in the 80s, it was a leap into another class!
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I can get the entry index, but only young people can go." ”
"That's for sure. That's for sure. The Xu family was excited.
County Magistrate Ru opened his mouth to help promise a few city hukou, but in the end he didn't speak.
The only value that the current county-owned factories can survive is the annual entry index, which is a large amount of income for the county government. However, even the magistrate of Ru himself. I didn't dare to promise a young man from a village to enter the factory.
Sioux City is so big-packed, County Magistrate Ru didn't dare to talk nonsense, and thought to himself: Young people are a little too impatient, so many people's urban hukou, if you don't find the province, it is estimated that you won't be able to get it. Alas, I don't know when roads and schools will be built, but they can't solve the problems of the whole county, and it is better to solve a town......
The mayor of the town next to him, the secretary of the town party committee, and several village chiefs of neighboring villages, were left with envy and suspicion. They have also helped people to open a city hukou, twists and turns, needless to say, a lot of money is spent, the acquaintance price in 1988 has reached 1,500 yuan, which is really not affordable for ordinary people. This is especially true for peasant families.
Even so, people who want to pay for it have to find connections.
The secretary of the town party committee couldn't help but think: "Even if you do 50 agricultural to non-agricultural projects, it will cost 60,000 or 70,000 yuan." This Chairman Su shouldn't be a deceitful leather bag company. It would be too immoral to go back to your hometown to deceive people......"
Just as he was thinking, the sound of "rumble" came from the front of the village.
County Magistrate Ru glanced at the banquet first, only to realize that he had seen the wrong direction, and hurriedly turned his head back.
Gentle black smoke rose from the bend in the village.
In a few moments, a huge bulldozer appeared in front of everyone.
Then there was an excavator and a truck, which was also full of people and pulling shovels, mallets and other tools.
Su Cheng ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, and said with a smile: "The engineering team I invited, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, you eat first, I'll pick it up." ”
"The engineering team that built the road?"
"Well, build the road to the provincial capital first, and then build it to the town. Su Cheng said as he walked.
The mayor and the secretary of the town party committee looked at each other and suddenly felt very excited. For the county, Jingshan Village is a small place, but for the town it is different. If they build roads from town to village and village to national highway, it will be convenient for the town to go to the national highway.
The secretary of the town party committee couldn't help but be afraid for a while, fortunately he didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise people would have to slap themselves in the face with a leather bag containing money.
Several cadres didn't care about eating and chased after them.
When Xu Baoming saw it, he didn't eat anymore and pulled his legs to keep up.
Behind the uproar was the sound of stools being pulled.
At least half of the old and young masters, chasing behind the ass of Sioux City, for the villagers, a meal of food is rare, but building a road is a rare good thing in a century.
It is the machine farming road in the village, which was also built in the commune era, and many people here have not seen it.
So, when the chef of the village, Xu Sheng, who is also a distant cousin of Su Cheng, came out with the dishes, he was surprised to find that half of the chairs were empty.
In the era when potatoes and noodles can be licked clean, half of the people gave up the meat and vegetables and took the initiative to leave the table, what does it say!
Xu Sheng's face turned pale for a moment, and he held on to the table in grief, muttering: "The dishes I made are really so unpalatable? Impossible, the last time the sweet potato roasted eggplant was eaten by someone, no matter how unpalatable it is, how bad it can be, unless it ......"
He unconsciously looked in the direction of the toilet, picked up the plate, and quietly shrank back, thinking: No, so many people have eaten bad stomachs? Why don't you go to your aunt's house to avoid the limelight for two days?
