Chapter 188: Painting bread to satisfy hunger

Although it was touched, how could the contradiction between Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village that had been fighting for so many years be resolved in a few words, Gao Zaitian sneered and said, "What do you guys know?... The fight between our Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village is not a battle of will, we are fighting for water, which is our lifeline, without water the crops in our fields will have to dry up, without water, the old and young in our village will have to drink the northwest wind... If you want us to fight, you can do it, unless the town pays us to repair the pump and renovate the channel .........."

This time, Liu Jinshui surprisingly didn't choke with Gao Zaitian, and added on the side: "Yes, in addition to building a machine pump, the electricity bill must also be subsidized, otherwise we can't afford to use .........."

In fact, in the early days of liberation, many places in the country were fighting for water because of the lack of irrigation water sources, but with the improvement of China's economic level, the water conservancy facilities have been gradually improved, and most places in the country have realized the pumping of water for irrigation, so there are very few incidents of ordinary people fighting for water, and Tianshui Town is too backward, and the overall economic level is still at the level of the sixties and seventies of the last century, so such a problem will appear.

Duan Yu opened his mouth and was about to speak, Zhang Wenwei on the side hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered in his ear: "Mayor Duan, don't take this issue lightly, repair a large pump and repair the channel, at least 200,000, and the annual electricity subsidy will also be tens of thousands, although it doesn't sound like a big number, but this is basically the case in the fifteen administrative villages in the town, if you build a pump for these two villages, other villages will definitely have to be built, this is not a small number when you add up... The town simply can't come up with the money.........".

Duan Yu actually knows this situation well, if this matter is so easy to solve, the previous mayors would have solved it a long time ago, and he couldn't afford to come to charge this big-headed ghost today, speaking of the root, Sweetwater Town is too poor, there are too many places to ask for money, and he can't solve it at all by himself, if he pats his chest indiscriminately, he will only be more passive, and only by letting the economy of Sweetwater Town develop as a whole can these problems be solved.

But the attitude of Gao Zaitian and others is also very clear, if you want to be a peacemaker, you have to come up with real money, and if you want to fill the big tail wolf with just a few empty words, you should step aside as soon as possible, thinking of this, Duan Yu smiled and said: "Folks, your requirements are not high, they are really not high, and the requirements are also very reasonable, it is our town government that has not done a good job, so that you have suffered, first of all, I apologize to everyone on behalf of the town government........." As he said this, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Gao Zaitian and the others were stunned, although they didn't look down on those government cadres, but the government cadres apologized to the people for the first time, they really met for the first time, in the past, those government cadres were either putting up officials and shouting at each other, or playing Tai Chi in an official tone, shirking responsibility, looking crooked, from this point of view, the young mayor in front of him is really different from those who were officials before.

However, it was impossible for the villagers to change their attitude because of Duan Yu's bow, and they still looked at him coldly, but the hostility in their eyes was not as strong as before, Duan Yu straightened up and continued: "But everyone in the town also knows the situation, and they can't come up with so much money to repair the pump for everyone at once, if I promise everyone now, I will deceive everyone......."

The faces of the villagers were not good-looking, and they all showed such expressions, they had heard too many words like this, and they were all a little numb, Gao Zaitian pursed his lips and was about to sarcastically say a few words to Duan Yu, Duan Yu suddenly waved his hand vigorously and said impassionedly: " But I would like to make a statement here, please give me a year, within a year I promise to install irrigation pumps in every administrative village, and completely solve everyone's water irrigation problems, not only that, but I will also comprehensively widen and dredge the channel of the Tianshui River, so that the Tianshui River will become our rich river... If I can't do it, I, the mayor, will not be .........."

At this time, not only the villagers, but even Zhang Wenwei and Jiang Fangjin on the side were stunned, Duan Yu was gambling with his official hat, and he didn't know where he had such confidence and dared to make such bold words, he wanted to change the poor and backward appearance of Tianshui Town in a year, and this cowhide was too big.

Seeing that everyone showed suspicious expressions, Duan Yu smiled confidently and slightly: " Everyone must think that I am bragging here, I must have confidence in saying this, otherwise I will not be able to joke about my career, although I have not been to Sweetwater Town for a long time, but through the understanding of Guò during this time, I think the development potential of our Sweetwater Town is very huge, we are guarding the golden rice bowl to eat, I can clearly tell everyone that there are already very powerful investors who have taken a fancy to our Sweetwater Town, and are ready to invest in us, it will not be long before we are going to change a lot here........." 。

Everyone was a little moved by the grand blueprint depicted by Duan Yu, although the place of Sweet Water Town is very closed and backward, but there are many people here who go out to work in economically developed areas, and they have also heard of the prosperity and development of the outside world, so they are still looking forward to the words "development" and "investment", and there are sparks of excitement in their eyes.

In fact, the methods used by Duan Yu now are a bit similar to "looking at plums to quench thirst" and "painting cakes to satisfy hunger", but aren't people like this, the most afraid is that there is no hope, as long as there is hope, people are still willing to endure and look forward to it.

Duan Yu saw that the villagers were a little moved, and knew that the critical moment to persuade these villagers had come, he had taught Gao Shan Meng and others before, and he could be regarded as showing his big stick, just now "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" gave the villagers hope, but he still had to come up with something practical to completely persuade the villagers to accept his mediation, so he continued to smile: " Of course, we now have to solve the problem of irrigation water that you urgently need to solve now, I can allocate 5,000 yuan from the town finance to you to buy cement and other materials needed to repair the canal, and the labor will be paid by your two villages, after all, the final benefit is everyone, you have the strength to fight, it is better to take some effort to dredge and repair the canal, and solve the urgent ...... first."

As soon as Duan Yu said this, in the end, Gao Zaitian and the others also relented and agreed to the plan proposed by Duan Yu, they had already seen hope, and they didn't want to fight to the death anymore. On the way back, Zhang Wenwei said excitedly: "Boss, you are too powerful, just convince all these arrogant and stubborn villagers...".

Duan Yu was silent and did not speak, the crisis was only temporarily solved, but this incident made him see that there were many problems within the town government, and if these problems were not solved, his grand plan would not be carried out at all...
