Chapter 543: A Chance Encounter
"What can reduce the population pressure on the land? People are the most valuable wealth, how do you want to reduce them? Kill all the people in our county?" Secretary Wang's face was very unpleasant.
"Secretary Wang, don't be so excited, in other words, in layman's terms, 'If you want to be rich, have fewer children and grow more trees'. Liu Haohao hurriedly reassured.
In fact, a few years ago, it was already controlling population growth, but it was not fully implemented, and the right to not know about it, and it was still giving birth to life, only as far as their Zhengxi County was concerned, although it was poor, but each family still had an average of more than five children, but due to the poor conditions in all aspects, the average number of children who could survive was only three, but this is also a very objective number, far exceeding the pressure that the land in Zhengxi County can bear.
Liu Haohao's words calmed Secretary Wang's anger a little, and before he could ease his breath, Liu Haohao put forward another idea that made him incomprehensible, "It is best to implement the necessary immigration policy to transfer the people in places with poor living conditions to more suitable places." β
In the past few days of research, they have seen too many places that are completely unsuitable for human habitation and even small villages are clustered, and they can't imagine how people can survive in such harsh conditions.
Secretary Wang felt that they were scholarly and business-like, which was easier said than done, "Who is willing to leave their hometown and leave the land where their ancestors have lived for so many years? We forcibly assigned them well, but the locals bullied the outsiders openly and secretly, and also caused deaths, so the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as the grass nest in their own home, rather than go out to see people's faces, it is better to live in their own home, the life is a little harder, but it is their own home. β
Secretary Wang was impressed, he is from Zhengxi County, and it is not that he has no chance to leave here, but he is reluctant to leave, because he feels that he is not as good as his hometown.
"In fact, in the final analysis, they are still poor, and if they are given enough preferential policies, who would not want to leave the kind of places where they do not have the basic living conditions? When the level of urbanization develops to a certain stage, the tolerance towards foreigners will also be greatly improved, and the kind of blatant bullying and discrimination will gradually disappear again. Liu Hao felt that the predecessors did not find the problem, nor could they find a solution, but because of the objective conditions, the economy did not go up, the investment was not enough, and naturally there was no way to solve the problem fundamentally, so they could only be anxious on the sidelines.
"Easy to say. Secretary Wang shook his head, these college students are so high that they can't understand the mood of their ordinary people at all.
Several people in the research team were angry, although they had many points of view, but they all came with the mentality of solving the problem in good faith, and they suffered a lot during this time, but Secretary Wang's attitude made them feel a little embarrassed, but Liu Haohao frowned and looked not far away in a daze.
"Okay, what are you thinking?" Zhuang Lihong looked at her curiously, "Is there no way to solve the poverty situation in Zhengxi County?"
"Poverty can be eliminated, but it takes time, it needs the change and development of the entire environment, the change and progress of people's concepts, and it cannot be achieved without decades of hard work, but as long as you work hard, it will get better and better year by year, that is for sure. β
This is what Secretary Wang likes to hear, these days he followed Liu Haohao and them around, and found that they did work hard to investigate, and many of the questions asked could not even be answered by himself, and he was not as perfunctory as he was worried before, so he also hoped that they could give some suggestions that would help them, but he didn't expect that many of the points put forward by these college students, he couldn't understand, and it could even be said that he was strongly opposed, so the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and now it is rare for Liu to say a pertinent word, which makes his face look good againγ
"Decades means that the people here will suffer for decades. Lu Yuan couldn't bear it.
"There are too many problems in Zhengxi County, if you didn't come here, you really didn't know that it was so poor. Zhuang Lihong whispered in a trance.
"In fact, most of the rural areas are not much better at present, of course, the natural conditions here are even worse, so it is right to let some areas get rich first, and then drive the backward areas. Liu Hao climbed up a dirt slope and stretched out his hand to pull Zhuang Lihong up, but found that her eyes were straight and fixed.
"What's wrong?" she followed her gaze, and not far away a young peasant was walking bare-chested with a hoe, although it was far away, but under the blazing sun, the smell of male hormones came to her face.
Liu Haohao couldn't help but feel a little strange, Zhuang Lihong has always been very shy, no matter how good this man is and how muscular he is, he shouldn't stare at people like this.
The man was obviously shocked when he saw them, and then Secretary Wang waved his hand excitedly, "Xiaohu! Xiaohu! Come on, come on, come here!"
He was stunned for a moment, and walked over with a hoe, Liu Hao squinted his eyes, feeling that this person seemed to be really familiar.
"Xiao Liu, this is Xiao Hu, who also graduated from your Beijing University, and is now a teacher at your Beijing University. Secretary Wang enthusiastically introduced, "Don't say a word when your baby will come back, I'll still be in the capital, otherwise I can let you entertain your younger brothers and sisters." β
After taking a closer look, Liu Haohao realized that this "little Hu" was Su Hongyi's beloved apprentice Hu Mingli, and hurriedly jumped down the dirt slope and greeted with a smile, "Hello Teacher Hu!"
Hu Mingli didn't expect them to come, he was naked-chested in front of so many girls, which made him very embarrassed, but Secretary Wang pulled him, he couldn't get out for a while, he covered his body helplessly, and nodded at her with some restraint, "Are you here to do research here?"
"Yes, we don't know that Mr. Hu is also from the West, otherwise we can also learn some preliminary information from you first. Like other students, Liu Haohao has the joy of meeting his old friends in a foreign country.
"Xiao Hu is the best young man in our county, so I strongly recommended him to study at Beijing University, not to mention in the county, he is well-known in the city, he can endure hardships and ......work hard," Secretary Wang looked at Hu Mingli lovingly, as if he was looking at his own nephew, and praised him.
