A new week begins.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, a black "Passat" car drove into the compound of Hejiayao Township and stopped in front of the first row of houses.

Originally, he was stilting Erlang's legs, smoking a cigarette comfortably, but after seeing the car, He Guodong hurriedly extinguished the cigarette, sat upright, and looked into the courtyard.

The passenger door of the "Passat" opened, and a black man got out of the car quickly, and quickly opened the right rear side door.

A black leather shoe stretched out, stepped on the ground, and then leaned out of the car with a thin upper body, and then the whole person was outside the car.

Looking at the tall back next to the car, He Guodong gasped and hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that the other party would look back and see him.

The tall figure who came down from the "Passat" was none other than Chu Tianqi who went to Hejiayao Township for research, and Hejiayao Township was the last township he investigated.

A man of about forty years old with a parted head walked out of the aisle quickly, saw the black sedan and the person next to the car, and then quickly ran to the tall figure next to the car. There was still some distance away, so he said enthusiastically: "Welcome to the county magistrate to come to inspect the work." ”

kept looking at the people coming from the opposite side, and it wasn't until they came close that Chu Tianqi said, "Township Chief Qu, where are you going?"

The person who came was Qu Yong, the head of Hejiayao Township. Subconsciously glanced at the khaki yellow cotton shoes on his feet and the khaki yellow clothes and pants on his body, Qu Yong said: "I am preparing to go to the countryside to see the situation of the wasteland in several villages. ”

Chu Tianqi said "oh": "It seems that I came here today to disturb the work of Township Chief Qu." ”

Qu Yong hurriedly said: "No, no." The county magistrate can come to guide, which is the most important job in the township, and we have been looking forward to your coming. ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "haha" and stretched out his right hand: "Township Chief Qu, meet again." ”

Holding the county magistrate with both hands, Qu Yong said "Welcome, welcome".

Following Qu Yong, Chu Tianqi arrived at the township chief's office.

Gave the county magistrate his seat, made hot tea, Qu Yong said hello, and entered the back room.

Chu Tianqi didn't sit and drink tea, but stood up and looked at the charts hanging on the wall. He had been to this room six months earlier, and there weren't so many charts on the walls. The new charts are all hand-drawn, with bar charts, line splits, pie charts, and bar charts marked with various colors and numerical values, but no text and no chart titles.

As soon as the door rang, Qu Yong walked out of the back room. At this time, Qu Yong's two cotton shoes and yellow clothes and pants had been taken off, and he had changed into black leather shoes and navy blue suit pants, and the suit was a white shirt with a gray sweater.

Turning his head to look at Qu Yong, Chu Tianqi asked, "I can't understand your heavenly books these days." ”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qu Yong's face: "County magistrate, the reason why these charts are not marked with text is mainly because they have not been implemented or have not been reached at all, but they are just some of my ideas." ”

Chu Tianqi said "oh": "So, you are keeping your back hand and retreating, so why do you still stick it to the wall." ”

"These charts are seven or eight large and small, and they are posted there for easy inspection and a reminder to yourself, which is a kind of spur. And it's easy to adjust or modify, so you don't have to flip back and forth, and you don't get confused. Qu Yong replied, "It's just that because a lot of them didn't pass, or there was no unanimous opinion, I didn't have the text, as long as I could understand it, and it saved some groundless speculation or unnecessary trouble." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Then if someone else asks, what do you say?"

"I usually talk sloppily and say that I did the exercises when I was studying for a diploma. Qu Yong also smiled, and smiled a little shyly.

"You've got a lot of them. Slightly teasing, Chu Tianqi pointed to the chart and said, "Explain it to me, how about it?"

After a little hesitation, Qu Yong explained: "County magistrate, most of the data above are my predictions for the future, and some of them are also insufficient, and they are quite different from the present, please forgive me." ”

"You say I'll listen, don't say anything, don't worry. Chu Tianqi responded to the other party.

Qu Yong no longer hesitated, pointed to a few charts and said: "The first one is the poverty alleviation map of the whole township, and now the whole township is ......."

Chu Tianqi listened very seriously, sometimes frowning slightly and meditating, sometimes interjecting to ask, sometimes putting forward different opinions, and sometimes debating with the other party.

At the beginning, Qu Yong was still somewhat restrained, but he quickly let go, explained very fluently, and was meticulous when debating with each other.

It lasted for nearly an hour before the lecture and debate ended.

Chu Tianqi pointed to the chart and said, "Let's do this for the time being, and we'll argue again when we have time." Then he smiled slightly, "I don't think this is like a random drawing as you said, and it's not a random post, right?"

Qu Yong's face was slightly red: "County magistrate, these charts are not specifically posted for you, they have been posted for nearly three months, and the reason for the posting I said earlier is not lying." Of course, after sticking it, I also fantasized that someone would be able to discern the pearls. However, I also wanted to help realize my ideals, and I had no personal intentions. ”

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame. After a slight pause, Chu Tianqi said again, "Listen to the report first, or go to see it first, you arrange." ”

"It's almost eleven o'clock, let's report first, do you think it's okay?" Qu Yong asked for advice.

"Good. Chu Tianqi replied.

……

Eleven a.m.

Hejiayao Township Conference Room.

Chu Tianqi sat on the rostrum, and under the stage were all the township workers in the unit.

After the welcome and polite session, Chu Tianqi went straight to the point: "During this time, I went to many townships and county organs, and every time I went to a unit, I walked, looked, listened, and spoke. Of course, I'm still willing to say as little as possible and watch and listen as much as I can. According to the arrangement of Township Chief Qu, the link of "watching" has been put to the next step, so I mainly listen now. The overall work of the township, I have already communicated a lot with the head of Qu Township just now, so I don't listen to the large paragraphs of text printed on the paper. Next, I will mainly ask some specific questions, and I would like to ask the relevant comrades to answer them. ”

Hearing the county magistrate say this, Qu Yong put the printout on the table and looked intently at the leaders on the stage. Most of the others were somewhat nervous, for fear of being asked by the county magistrate, and even more afraid of being asked about topics that they were not familiar with. Of these people, there is one who is more nervous, worried about being asked about his head, and more worried about being picked up.

"How many families are there in the township, what is the total registered population, what proportion of them are over 60 years old, how many students are between the ages of 7 and 16, and what is the turnover rate of children of compulsory education age?" Chu Tianqi asked the first question.

After a little silence, a girl in her twenties stood up: "County magistrate, my name is Li Ziqi, I am a clerk in the township government office, I joined the company in June this year, I will answer." There are 4,583 households in the township, with a total registered population of 15,611, of whom 31.22 percent are over 60 years old, 13.5 percent are students between the ages of 7 and 16, and the loss rate of school-age children in compulsory education is 2.7 percent. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "Is your data accurate?"

"These are the data on the file, and I haven't investigated the actual values. The girl's voice suddenly took on a hint of timidity.

"I've looked at the data specifically, and your answer is exactly right. It doesn't take long for you to remember the data on the file so well, which is very good. As for verifying this data, it probably isn't your job. Chu Tianqi smiled and said, "Since you can remember these numbers, you must have a lot of nostalgia, so you might as well talk about it." ”

"Okay. The girl nodded, and said, "The seat of the Hejiayao Township Government is located sixty-two kilometers northeast of the county seat, with a total area of 291.47 square kilometers. The township has 19 administrative villages, 27 natural villages, and an area of 27,000 acres of cultivated land. The average altitude of the whole township is 870 meters, it belongs to the monsoon climate of the East Asian continent, the lowest temperature in winter is minus 19 degrees, the highest temperature in summer is minus 36 degrees, and the average annual temperature is 9.1 degrees, and the ethnic group has ......"

After patiently listening to the girl's speech, Chu Tianqi applauded. Led by him, everyone applauded in response.

The girl who talked about her nostalgia calmly just now, after hearing the applause, her face suddenly turned crimson, I don't know whether she was embarrassed or excited, maybe both.

Asking the girl to sit down, Chu Tianqi said solemnly: "I listened to Li Ziqi's answer just now, I was very happy and moved. Some people may disagree, 'Isn't it just memorizing some information? I can memorize it too.'" These things are not difficult to memorize, but I am afraid that there are not many people who take the initiative to memorize. I am not advocating that everyone memorize anything, but I am affirming this spirit of active learning and this attitude of being good at accumulating knowledge. Let me now ask the second question: How much of the 27,000 mu of cultivated land in the township has actually been utilized? How much has it been barren? Has the barren land increased or decreased in the past three years, and what was the extent of the increase or decrease?

After the county magistrate asked, the scene was silent, and many people lowered their heads, but more people set their eyes on one person.

After being silent for two minutes, Qu Yong spoke, but instead of answering the question, he named a person: "Deputy Township Chief He, you are in charge of agriculture, you answer this question." ”

He Guodong's cheek muscles jumped, he stood up, and said: "Of the 27,000 acres of cultivated land, the actual use is about ...... There are ninety percent, and the barren ones account for one percent, which has been about the same for the past three years. ”

After listening to the answer, Chu Tianqi did not answer immediately, but stared at the other party for a while before he said in a deep voice: "In the barren land, how much cooked land is there, and how much is reclaimed land?"

"Cooked land, cooked land, reclaimed land, half and half. This time, He Guodong stuttered even more.

Chu Tianqi sneered lightly: "Then tell me, in the next year, what measures are you going to take to reclaim these barren lands and resume farming?"

"Hmm...... More propaganda and policy talk to the peasants can only be like this. He Guodong chattered.

Chu Tianqi snorted and raised his voice: "As the deputy head in charge of agriculture, you don't have some basic information about your work scope, let alone relevant countermeasures, how do you carry out your work?" Speaking of this, he turned to Qu Yong again, "Township Chief Qu, how do you divide the work?"

Qu Yong immediately stood up: "I ......"
