According to the plan, Zhou Yungao arrived at ten o'clock, but at nine o'clock, Hu Keming rushed to the intersection two kilometers away from the township government with his team members to wait.

Previously, Li Dongsheng already knew from Sun Wei that this was a common phenomenon in the system. Although governments at all levels have repeatedly banned this, the people below still commit crimes against the wind. The reason, of course, is to make a good impression on the leader. No one is going to talk about rules because they are respectful.

Waiting is a painful thing, but fortunately there are many of them and they can talk. As they spoke, the crowd naturally divided into three circles. Hu Keming's people were in a circle, Li Dongsheng, Sun Youde and Sun Wei were together, and Yuan Qingqing and Liang Weiqin were standing together and discussing something in a whisper.

While speaking, Li Dongsheng secretly observed Sun Youde and found that his mood was not high, although he deliberately hid his inner thoughts, Li Dongsheng could still feel some with his extremely keen senses. The change in Sun Youde's expression made Li Dongsheng further guess the purpose of Zhou Yungao's inspection.

Zhou Yungao was ten minutes late, and a total of two cars came, one of which was an interview car for the county radio and television station.

The car stopped in front of everyone, the co-pilot's door opened, and it was Yue Wushuang who came down, his eyes swept around everyone's faces, and then said, "Secretary Hu, the secretary asked you to get in the car and report." ”

According to the usual practice, Zhou Yungao should get out of the car and shake hands with everyone one by one, and then invite Hu Keming to get in the car to report to work. But he didn't do it, which is enough to see that he is a very strong person, so strong that he ignores the rules.

Everyone watched the car slowly leave, and then turned around and got into the only two cars in the township. Li Dongsheng, who had been secretly observing, saw that after Yue Wushuang finished speaking, a gloom flashed in Sun Youde's eyes.

If it had been before, Li Dongsheng would not have been able to find out.

Back at the township government, everyone went directly to the conference room. After everyone sat down, Zhou Yungao, Hu Keming, and Yue Wushuang came in. The crowd had to stand up and applaud in welcome.

"Everybody sit." When Zhou Yungao spoke, his hands made a downward gesture.

After Zhou Yungao sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

"First of all, I want to say that the team in Erlang Township is still very combative."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yungao paused, his eyes scanned the faces of everyone, and when he saw Li Dongsheng, his gaze stayed for an extra second.

After retracting his gaze, Zhou Yungao continued: "Erlang Township's ranking has always been very high in the county, but the problem is also prominent. Changming County is a large agricultural county, and it is not easy to do rural farming under the new situation. Almost all the young people have gone out to work, and the old people left behind cannot make use of all the fields, and what could have been planted for two crops is now only planted for one season. Our GDP has been declining due to a weak industrial base. In the long run, we are not far from a poor county. We can't sleep on the plane, we can't stop doing it just because it's hard. At present, the central and local governments are actively exploring rural work under the new situation, and all of you here should also use your brains to actively deal with it. As long as you have good ideas and good projects, the county wants policies to give policies, and you want to support them. I wonder if you have faith? ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yungao's gaze began to scan everyone's faces again.

No one dared to take this, including Hu Keming. It has been explored before, and the results of exploration are all bags that touch one end. There are no resources here, and there is no geographical location. In addition to some factories that produce daily necessities, there are some service industries. There's no way to become bigger and stronger, let alone open up new ideas.

The atmosphere suddenly had a tendency to be cold, and cold sweat immediately broke out on Hu Keming's forehead. Although he is not from the government's side, for the county and township grassroots, the secretary is the government. Of course, it's not that he can't deduct the responsibility on Sun Youde's head, but that will definitely reduce his weight in Zhou Yungao's heart.

Therefore, he said: "Secretary, please rest assured, we will work together to find a development idea suitable for Erlang Township." ”

Everyone, including Hu Keming himself, understood that he was saying something very hollow, so that anyone in the system could say it in a row without having to make a draft.

Zhou Yungao obviously didn't come down to look for trouble, after listening to Hu Keming's words, he nodded and changed the topic: "It's already the fourth quarter, everyone hurry up, lest the report card be too ugly." ”

Seeing Zhou Yungao change the topic, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that they don't want political achievements, it's the environment. In the rural areas, the greatest political achievement is to increase peasant incomes, and the other is to build roads. It's easy to say, but it's not that simple. It takes money to build roads, a lot of money, even if it is approved by the higher-level government and there is a financial subsidy, that little money is only a drop in the bucket, and more needs to be raised by the government at the same level.

With such a weak industrial and commercial foundation, it is simply impossible for the grassroots government to raise funds for road construction; in the past, there was still an agricultural tax to collect, but now instead of paying taxes, peasants are receiving state subsidies for farming. Moreover, there are so many people staring, and no one dares to fight the idea of compensation. Only at the beginning of this policy did some of the more daring local governments dare to do so.

As for raising peasants' incomes, it is even more difficult. The government's credibility has been greatly damaged by the failed attempts of its predecessor, and it is impossible to promote any cash crops unless it is hard. But in today's situation, no one dares to do this. Even if you have a background, once it is exposed, your future is basically gone.

Although it is necessary to be supported by political achievements in the system, when there is no way to create political achievements, we can only retreat to the next best thing, that is, to seek stability. It is an eternal truth to do more and make more mistakes, and less to make fewer mistakes.

As the secretary of the county party committee, Zhou Yungao obviously couldn't have known this, and the reason why he said it was because he was putting pressure on everyone, and the other was to beat them. At the same time, he really hopes that there will be one or two things that can be obtained in the townships below, so that when he goes to the city for a meeting, he will also have confidence.

Zhou Yungao understood that pressing was counterproductive, so after he made a brief empty speech, he proposed to take a look.

At this time, the hearts of everyone have been put down for a small time. More than half of the remaining can only be completely let go of when Zhou Yungao leaves.

The first place that Erlang Township arranged for Zhou Yungao to inspect was the school, the Central Primary School of Erlang Township. Like most townships, the original middle schools in Erlang Township have been merged into the two middle schools in Changming County, and only one primary school will be retained in each township. This is done in order to concentrate educational resources. If it weren't for the fact that the elementary school students were too young to manage, the elementary school might have been incorporated into the county seat.

Li Dongsheng, who was in charge of the emergency, did not accompany him, but watched from the periphery. In general, no one wants to do this job at all. Everyone wants to get closer to the leader, and it is easy to have an opportunity to get close to the leader, so naturally they don't want to let it go easily.

Li Dongsheng didn't think that something would happen, he instinctively thought that Hu Keming didn't want him to get close to Zhou Yungao. Actually, he didn't think about contacting either. He didn't think that following Zhou Yungao's side would have a chance to make Zhou Yungao look good. Compared with developed places, officialdom in poor places is more like a pool of stagnant water. Aggressive stuff is basically hard to use here.

Li Dongsheng, who is outside the school, occasionally uses the walkie-talkie to contact the township government staff assigned to help him in order to keep abreast of the surrounding dynamics. The rest of the time, he was trying to practice breathing to pass the time.

After about ten minutes, Li Dongsheng's walkie-talkie rang: "Township Chief Li, there is a woman who claims to be Wang Cuilan who is the wife of Principal Shi Yunshu, she said that there is an urgent matter at home, and Principal Shi's phone is not answered, so she rushed over to let him go home." ”

Li Dongsheng couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "She didn't say anything?" ”

"I asked, but she didn't say."

"Got it, I'll have someone go and inform Shi Yunshu." Li Dongsheng was very cautious and did not put Wang Cuilan directly into the school.

After informing the mobile personnel to call Shi Yunshu, Li Dongsheng's attention shifted to the breathing method again. Originally, he was just going to kill time, and he suddenly seemed to grasp some sensations, and he found that when he was practicing, it seemed as if energy had entered his body.

Just when he was about to feel further, the walkie-talkie rang again, and it was still the person guarding the small door: "Township Chief Li, something happened." ”
