Chapter 1043: The Voices of the Common People
The old man was very resentful of Zong Weiyang's question, so he didn't care whether he should say something or not, and the crackling was a complaint:
The night before yesterday, after Li Lao Er's peanuts were pulled out, he didn't have time to transport them home in the ground, and as a result, he lost a truckload of peanuts with seedlings and peanuts overnight! Besides, after the peanuts were pulled out, they were most afraid of rain when they were half dried in the sun, and put them at the door of their homes, and once it rained at night, we could get up in the middle of the night and cover them with plastic sheets. This is the result of a year's harvest and a year's hard work, and if it is ruined, what will we do? Who will compensate us for our losses? Alas, what the peasants are pointing to, don't they just point to this bit of crop? We are not like you who have a golden rice bowl and can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood!"
Zong Weiyang didn't expect the old man to be so resistant to putting the peanuts in the ground to dry and then transport them home, but what he said did make sense. Zong Weiyang was really hard to refute, so he diverted the topic a little awkwardly: "Li Lao Er's peanuts were lost, and he didn't report the case?"
"I reported the case, but what is the use, can the police have the time to take care of this matter? A cart of peanuts with seedlings is not worth a few thousand yuan in total, and the police can file a case and solve the case?" The old man's words were a little helpless, whoever was on the stall of this matter was unlucky, and if he lost it, he would lose it in vain.
Zhao Changshu knew that the old man was telling the truth, there were so many police forces in a police station, and it was impossible to set up a special case team to solve the case because of this kind of thing, and in the end, the people could only suffer dumb losses. And some rural thieves also see this, ** do not commit, the small law continues, angry to the police, difficult to die in the court.
"That's right, uncle, our village is a key demonstration village for new rural construction, so the county plans to build flower beds on both sides of several main streets in the village, plant trees, plant flowers, and repaint the houses along the street, so that everyone can have a good living environment. What does the old man think of this decision of the county?"
Zhao Changshu directly turned the topic to the topic of their investigation this time.
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I tell the truth?"
"Of course, whatever the old man thinks in his heart, he can say it. You can rest assured, nothing will happen. Zhao Changshu had already guessed how the old man would answer his question. He just wants Zong Weiyang to really listen to the voices of the people.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. I am a small common man, I don't know the big truth, but I know that if we really plant flowers and trees on both sides of several main streets, we will have to dig all the current cement pavement, not to mention the loss of labor and money, we have no place to dry wheat in summer, and no place to dry peanuts in autumn, which will bring great inconvenience to our lives. β
At this time, several farmers around had already gathered around, and after they knew the intention of Zhao Changshu and others, they also started to talk nonsense, and some people said unceremoniously: "What kind of bullshit new rural construction, I think it's a face-saving project made by some officials in order to make political achievements!"
Zong Weiyang was a little harsh when he heard this, so he said with a calm face: "This big brother, it's not right for you to say this, the county party committee and county government are engaged in the construction of new rural areas in response to the call of the country, and they really want to do something for the people and effectively improve the quality of life of the people." How can it be said that it is a face-saving project and a political performance project?"
The person who said that might have been a stunned young man and a rough man, so after listening to Zong Weiyang's words, he immediately said unceremoniously: "Fart! Really do things for the common people? It's not a face-saving project, isn't it a face-saving project, and since it's not a face-saving project, why is it only a face-saving project to paint the houses along the streets? While other houses in the village are not painted? In my opinion, if the government spends money on these houses that don't need to be painted at all, it is better to spend money to rebuild the dilapidated houses in the village!" If it hadn't been repaired several times by the two village committees, Grandma Li's house would have been buried in it! That is the house that really needs to be repaired and painted. But why can't the leaders above see it? Only these houses along the street that don't need to be repaired and painted at all?"
In the countryside, some people dare to set up a stage, and some people dare to beat drums and gongs and sing a big opera, and as soon as his words fell, another voice sounded: "Second stunned, don't you know why this? Lao Tzu will tell you, is it not because the top came down to check, they all only circled around the main street of the village to finish the work? Like your grandmother Li's house in the corner, the superior leaders can't see it, who cares?"
"Hehe, the above is like this, whoever has a house along the street, who can take a big advantage, repair the house for free, paint for free. I heard that the houses along the street in Lijiazhuang are still being renovated by the village committee for free! When the higher-level leaders come to inspect them, the cadres of the village committee move all the flat-screen TVs and computers in their homes to fill up the faΓ§ade of the houses along the street!
"What is the difference between this and the Great Leap Forward, when all the crops in the nearby fields were concentrated in one field and inspected by the superiors? If this is not a face-saving project, then what is a face-saving project? If you have this idle time, it is better to catch the thief who stole peanuts to Lao Tzu!"
Zhao Changshu listened to everyone's gossip, not only did he not get angry, but he was also happy in his heart, these words were what he wanted to say to Zong Weiyang, and now it was said by the mouths of these ordinary people, and he would argue with Zong Weiyang again. I hope that these words of the common people can make Zong Weiyang feel good.
Zong Weiyang's face was a little unbearable. There is no doubt that he wants to focus on the painting and repair of the houses along the street, and he does have the idea of coping with the inspection of his superiors, and he does want to make some political achievements for himself. But he really wanted to do something for the people, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to invest so much money, but he didn't expect that the people would be so resistant to his decision to mainly govern the houses along the street!
Just when Zong Weiyang was a little unable to get off the stage, the village party secretary and village director who got the news hurried over. The two of them were picking peanuts at their own home, but when they heard that someone from the county party committee office was coming and conducting a public opinion poll, they ran over without even having time to change their clothes, and their bodies were covered with dirt. He doesn't look like a cadre at all, he is an out-and-out peasant.
These two people originally thought that they were a certain clerk from the county party committee office, but they didn't expect to come over and take a look, and all the first and second leaders of Pingchuan County came!
Although the two politicians in Baojiazhuang had never seen the true faces of Zhao Changshu and Zong Weiyang before, they had seen them on the Pingchuan News, so they knew them.
"Secretary Zong, County Magistrate Zhao, I am Bao Yongnian, the village party secretary, and he is the director Tian Honggang. Why did you come here in person?" The branch secretary wanted to shake hands with the two big leaders, but he didn't dare, but he kept rubbing his big hands full of calluses, and said to Zong Weiyang and Zhao Changshu in a curtive manner.
The village director didn't speak, just glared fiercely at the villagers who were talking about Huan just now, he could imagine that these guys definitely didn't say anything good in front of Secretary Zong and County Magistrate Zhao just now. Otherwise, Zong Weiyang's face would not be so ugly.
When the villagers heard that the two people in front of them were actually the county secretary and the county magistrate, they couldn't help but be surprised, and some regretted the nonsense they had just talked about, and when they saw the two "leaders" in the village coming, they stopped talking about it, and they scattered and were busy with their own work.
Zong Weiyang squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Hehe, you are the branch secretary and director of Baojiazhuang? Let's go to your village first. β
At this time, Zhao Changshu suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Secretary Zong, why don't we go to Grandma Li's house first?"
Zong Weiyang nodded, and then said to the branch secretary: "You lead the way, let's talk while walking." β
Bao Yongnian, the village party secretary, led the two bigwigs from Pingchuan County towards an alley with some trepidation, while the village director whispered to the farmers in the back to quickly collect the peanuts they were drying on the road to both sides. They made it too unseemly, the street that was originally more than ten meters wide is now only more than two meters to walk, and the rest is all occupied by peanuts.
"Secretary Bao, didn't the town give you a notice to prepare for the inspection by your superiors?" asked Zong Weiyang as he walked.
Bao Yongnian knew that Zong Weiyang was referring to the peanuts on both sides of the road, so he said with a wry smile: "Secretary Zong, the town has notified us. Today, Tuesday, the weather forecast is for light to moderate rain this weekend, and if we can't take advantage of these sunny days to quickly dry and put away the peanuts pulled out of the ground, I'm afraid the peanuts will become moldy! And the hardened road in the village is the best place to dry peanuts, and there are not many cars passing through the village at ordinary times, which will not affect the traffic, so the two village committees have not forced everyone not to dry peanuts on the road. β
After Bao Yongnian finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Alas, it is difficult for village cadres to do, and we also want to complete the tasks assigned by the above, but we always have to take care of the actual situation." β
"Considering the actual situation, the tasks assigned by the above will not be completed? How can the state's decrees be implemented?" Zong Weiyang said coldly.
Zong Weiyang's stern words caught Bao Yongnian a little off guard, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Of course we have to find a way to complete the other tasks arranged above, but now we are building flower beds on both sides of the street, planting flowers and trees, and painting the walls, we really can't do it." You can't let the peanuts of the common people pile up at home and become moldy, right? That would not even guarantee next year's seeds. β
Although Bao Yongnian's voice was very low, it was very resolute, and for a while, Zong Weiyang didn't know how to refute, but let out a cold snort in his nostrils.
When Bao Yongnian was talking, Zhao Changshu kept peeking at him, and saw that Bao Yongnian was about fifty years old, with a dark face, a wrinkled face, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
At present, there are really not many village cadres who can personally dig food in the soil every day. In many villages, the village cadres are the local tyrants, the real local tyrants, even if the village is poor, they can't be poor. As for why, everyone understands.
