Chapter 211: Poverty Alleviation

As they spoke, a woman shouted at the bottom of the terraces: "Inform the village chief that Deputy Mayor Wu has come to our village." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Deputy Mayor Wu walked into this village again, and he was full of feelings, and every time he entered this village, he could deeply feel the poverty of Huangshi Town.

The town is indeed very helpless, if you want to build a big road to come in, it will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it may be more than building an asphalt road to enter Jinyuan Village.

The main reason is that there is a section of the way in that passes through the cliff, the cliff is a stone wall, and it is like climbing a ladder to enter the village, dozens of meters high!

When the children in their village go out to study, they have to be escorted by adults before they can go out with confidence.

"If I could, I would love to move the village out. Deputy Mayor Wu smiled bitterly.

Joining him in the village was a young man named Li Yunpeng, a civil servant who had only joined the company this year, and was assigned to exercise beside him.

Li Yunpeng is also a local, and returned to his hometown after studying for the civil service examination in college. The town is very welcoming to such young people.

"Mayor Wu, now our country also has a policy, which is said to be preparing to move villages with inconvenient transportation and small populations from the mountains. In the case of Zhangmu Village, I think it is very suitable for that policy. Li Yunpeng expressed his opinion.

In the past two years, the state has indeed introduced such a policy.

First, I hope that the people will live a better life, not be isolated from the world, keep up with the times, and keep up with the development of society. On the other hand, it is hoped that more land will return to the grasslands and mountains and forests.

"It's not that easy, the population of Zhangmuzhai itself is not small, it is a big village. What is more important is that it is difficult to change the ideology of the villagers. "Deputy Mayor Wu is very clear that this village is old and stubborn, and many people are comfortable and poor, and it will be difficult to reverse it for a while.

It is in this way that he is trying to start with the younger generation and change them. Then, education is the top job, so I promised them a village cadre to try to squeeze out a little money from the government to expand the school.

"Also, it is to take this opportunity to let the villagers of Zhangmu Village eat a little sweetness, and driven by interests, the change will be more natural. Deputy Mayor Wu said with a smile.

The opportunity he was referring to was Ferrin's purchase of mustard greens.

Lao Wu remembered that the main vegetable in Zhangmuzhai village was mustard greens, which were almost necessary for every household.

"However, it was too difficult to transport. Li Yunpeng thought of the cliff just now, and couldn't help but say some frustrating words.

……

The old village chief soon saw the figure of Deputy Mayor Wu, and came down with a few villagers to greet him, but he wondered in his heart, what is the noble matter? Wouldn't it be the matter of Xiaoyu's middle school?

If that's the case, it's a good thing for them Zhangmuzhai.

"I think at this time, you can't go back tonight, I'll let people arrange it, Mayor Wu, you can give in!" The old village chief talked while taking Deputy Mayor Wu and them home.

"Okay, uncle, you can arrange it, and the guests are as you please!" Deputy Mayor Wu did not refuse. When I went back to town that day, it was too late.

Everyone chatted and chatted, and talked about the current situation of Zhangmu Village, and Li Yunpeng noticed that Zhangmu Village did grow a lot of large mustard greens, and the growth was quite gratifying.

"You are a fertile breeding ground, but unfortunately, there are mountains and a cliff, which is a headache!"

In ancient times, the ancestors of this ethnic minority brought their people here to escape the war. In ancient times, this was the Peach Blossom Spring, because it was isolated from the world and could not come into contact with war, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. But now, the mountains and cliffs are the source of poverty.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and pros and cons go hand in hand! You can't complain!" said the old village chief He with a smile.

He is older and more open-minded. For them, the current life is not unacceptable, and the only thing they are worried about is the problem of future generations.

"Uncle is open-minded!"

"By the way, I don't know what is important when I enter the village this time? Do you want Mayor Wu to come over in person?" The middle-aged village cadre from Zhangmu Village asked, that is, Xiao Yu in the mouth of the old village head.

He and the old village chief both guessed that Deputy Mayor Wu should have come this time for the school's affairs.

"Remember what I told you before, right?"

Hearing this, the old village chief He said in their hearts: Sure enough, then it's really a good thing!

"Remember! Definitely remember! Has the town already decided?" Yu Shengli said in surprise.

There are three surnames in Zhangmu Village, the surname He is the largest surname, then Yu, and finally water. People with the surname Shui are rare in China.

The Shui clan is a multi-ethnic and multi-origin surname group, with far more people taking officials as their clan and the place as their clan than the blood Shui clan, but now neither mainland China nor Taiwan Province has entered the top 100 surnames.

Some people say that this surname appeared very late, but there are also studies, its origin is very ancient, it is said to be the descendants of Dayu, Dayu controls the water, and many of his descendants have done water officials, they are responsible for taking charge of lakes and rivers, and later their descendants will take water as their surname, called Shui.

"I have already talked to Mayor Liang and the secretary about your village school. In principle, everyone expressed their support. The real headache is the problem of teachers, and I don't need to say more about the situation in your village, right? Without a high salary, it is difficult to attract teachers to Zhangmu Village, so we can't be too anxious. ”

Yu Shengli and He Lao Village Chief hurriedly nodded. Teachers from other places, as long as they have come to them once, most of them do not want to come again for the rest of their lives, and the two of them are self-aware.

But it's very rare to get strong support from the town.

"In addition, we need the strong cooperation of your village. There are too many older children in your village, and a small number of them don't even go to school, that's not okay. Before I arrived, the secretary even said that if necessary, the government would make it mandatory for all school-age children to attend school. Deputy Mayor Wu said to them.

Yu Shengli wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "That's for sure, the villagers' ideological work, we will try our best to do a good job." ”

"In addition to this matter, there is also a way to generate income, which is specially brought to you. Deputy Mayor Wu finally revealed the purchase of mustard greens in Jinyuan Village.

Old Village Chief He's eyes lit up: "Oh, I don't know what the way is?"

"Jinyuan Village, have you all heard of it? Fei Lin of their village is also an outstanding young man in our town, and his hometown has been developed by him. Now, they have opened a sauerkraut factory in their village, which requires a large amount of mustard greens. I see that every household in your village grows, so you can transport what you can't eat out and make some income. ”

Yu Shengli was surprised and delighted: "The price between two yuan and three yuan?"

"Looks like you've heard about it, too. ”

Yu Shengli said happily: "Some time ago, didn't you say that Fangtian Village, as a demonstration village, planted mustard greens in an all-round way and provided raw materials to Jinyuan Village? The price is between two and three yuan, how could I not have heard of such a big thing? I didn't expect that our Zhangmu Village also has a share, which is really good." ”

Mayor Liang also said that the town is ready to focus on poverty alleviation in your village. In the plan, the next mustard cultivation demonstration village will fall to your village. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Fei Lin of Jinyuan Village. ”

Hearing this, the old village chief and Yu Shengli were even happier. Finally, there was hope for their village to make a fortune, although it was also difficult. But either way, could it be worse than it is now?

……

"Xiaoyu, you go and inform the villagers, let everyone prepare, and early tomorrow morning, harvest the mustard greens at home and send them out. I'll talk to Deputy Mayor Wu, you can go!"

Because Deputy Mayor Wu was at home and needed to be accompanied, he didn't take it personally, so he asked Yu Shengli to inform him.

"Yun Peng, you go with you! If the villagers have any questions, you can help answer them. Deputy Mayor Wu said to Li Yunpeng that he intended to let this young man go out for exercise.

After they went out, Deputy Mayor Wu continued: "You can count the mustard greens collected by each household tomorrow, record the data of each family, and then transport them to Jinyuan Village, so that everyone does not have to be in a mess." ”

Finally, he also asked the old village chief about the situation of the children in the village, how many children have to study, the specific age group, and so on. Only with this data can the school be expanded in a planned way.

……

Soon, the news was like a gust of wind, blowing through the entire Zhangmu Village, and everyone knew that Jinyuan Village bought their mustard greens at a high price. Even if the price of two yuan per catty is calculated, every household can make a small profit.

You know, a big mustard tree is a few pounds, and it's no joke.

In their place, the mustard is not only eaten by people, but also eaten by pigs, so there are not a few mustard greens in every household. When I think of this, I can't help but get excited.

"The remaining thirteen families are going to make a fortune this year by mistake! His family has the most mustard greens, and it is estimated that they can sell for several thousand yuan. "As long as mustard greens have a price of five cents a pound, they will not choose to feed pigs.

You know, now sweet potatoes and cassava are only three or five cents a catty, and they are much more nutritious than mustard greens when used to feed pigs.

"I don't know if they will take this batch in the future? If they do, I'll plant more. "With them, whatever the crop is, it grows well. Therefore, as long as they are not lazy, their village will not starve to death.

"Just now, Lao Yu also said that the town is going to build a primary school for our village, and all children should go to school, and I don't know if it's true or not. I know that my boy is not a piece of material for reading at all, so it is better to help herd cattle at home and do some farm work. ”

"I think you want to save a little bit of money on books, right? Son, you have to at least let him go to school to read and write, and he has to be able to read if he can't write!"

"Of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, your family only has three children, and his family has seven, I don't think he can support him by selling blood. ”
