Back at the bureau's personnel department, it was almost time to get off work, and Sister Hou told Zhao Changfeng that the deputy director of an office in the bureau led two section chiefs who had just returned from an inspection in Liangyazi Township, and asked Zhao Changfeng to go over tomorrow morning, and they would tell Zhao Changfeng about the situation in Liangyazi Township again.

The next morning, Sister Hou came to the office with Zhao Changfeng. When Deputy Director Tao saw Zhao Changfeng, he said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you must be prepared for a hard struggle this time!" ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid!" It's been ready for a long time! ”

So Deputy Director Tao laughed: "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!" Yes, what are young people afraid of? ”

Immediately, Deputy Director Tao said again: "In fact, it is not as terrible as you think. Liangyazi Township is a little poor, but the scenery is still very good. ”

He also said: "Liangyazi Township is located in the depths of Funiu Mountain, poverty alleviation mainly lies in two difficulties, one is located in the mountainous area, the arable land area is too small, the mountain people only have two or three points of land per capita, and the grain received cannot take care of food and clothing at all; Another difficulty is that the mountains are high and the roads are long, the transportation is inconvenient, and the infrastructure is very backward. There is only one rough stone road in the township, which is barely passable for motorized tricycles, and larger cars cannot enter at all. In addition to the location of the township government axe and the two nearby administrative villages, the other seven villages are still lit by kerosene lamps and candles. ”

Zhao Changfeng has roughly sketched the appearance of Liangyazi Township in his heart, there is no traffic and electricity, and there is little arable land per capita, no wonder it will be a famous poverty alleviation old and difficult township.

Director Tao moistened his throat with saliva, and continued: "When we went over this time, the leaders of Liangyazi Township put forward two requirements for us, one is that we hope we can help them build a rural road that can pass cars, and the other is to connect the following villages to electric wires. ”

After reporting to the bureau leaders, the bureau leaders decided to do the following tasks first: first, buy two diesel generators and give them them, so that Liangyazi Township can arrange them to the most difficult villages; Second, it is necessary to do a good job in microcredit and encourage mountain people to develop forestry and animal husbandry, and not to rely entirely on agriculture. Third, at the right time, organize the cadres of Liangyazi Township to visit and study in Zhongzhou to broaden their horizons. ”

Director Tao finally said: "Comrade Zhao Changfeng, your mission this time is to do more investigation and research despite being familiar with the situation, find the right way for Liangyazi Township to get rid of poverty, and provide a scientific basis for us to help Liangyazi Township in the future." As long as you achieve this goal, your mission this time is complete. When we send other cadres to the next year, we don't need to conduct investigation and research, but directly take the project seriously and focus on production. ”

Zhao Changfeng is even more confident now, according to Director Tao, the task of going to Liangyazi Township this time is not arduous, as long as he stays up for a year, he can come back.

"Okay, Director Tao, I understand!" Zhao Changfeng replied.

Zhao Changfeng prepared for two more days, and on the morning of the third day, the Administration of Organ Affairs held a meeting, and the cadres and workers of the whole country sent to the three comrades of poverty alleviation at the grassroots level. The main leaders of the bureau attended the meeting. After the meeting, the bureau sent three cadres at the deputy department level to escort the three people on their trip. Among them, the one who sent Zhao Changfeng to N City and F County was Deputy Director Fang of the Personnel Education Department.

N City is located in the Nanyang Basin, more than 300 kilometers away from Zhongzhou City, and is one of the farthest cities in Central Plains Province from the provincial capital. I set off at ten o'clock in the morning, got off at noon and had dinner in a county town, and then continued to set off until four o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived in N City.

People from the Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Axe Personnel Bureau all arrived. First arrange Deputy Director Fang and Zhao Changfeng at the Xinhua Hotel, and then have dinner.

There are no new tricks at the dinner table, nothing more than clichés such as welcoming the grassroots under the leadership of the province, and then toasting and drinking. Zhao Changfeng showed his edge and overturned several cadres who accompanied the wine in N City. As a result, other leaders of N City looked at Zhao Changfeng with admiration, and praised the deputy director of the other party, saying that Comrade Xiao Zhao had a future and should be trained well.

The next day, I continued on the road, and the car drove for more than two hours to arrive at County F. Deputy county magistrate Zhang of F County led the cadres of the county organization department and the personnel bureau to greet him personally.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang said apologetically to the deputy director that Secretary Cheng had not returned from his overseas inspection, and County Magistrate Wang was holding a meeting in the province, so he could only receive the provincial leaders.

At lunchtime, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang talked about Liangyazi Township, saying that it would take about three and a half hours to get from the county seat to Liangyazi Township. Among them, the car can only drive for an hour to reach Wohu Township in the middle of the mountain, and in Wohu Township, you have to transfer to an agricultural tricycle and climb the stone road for two and a half hours to reach Liangyazi Township.

So Zhao Changfeng said to the other deputy director: "Director Fang, you are busy with work, if you don't have dinner, you can go back, you don't need to send it again, the rest of the way will be arranged by County Magistrate Zhang." ”

Deputy Director Fang groaned.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang also said: "Director Fang, go back." Comrade Xiao Zhao handed it over to me. ”

Deputy Director Fang said: "It's okay, there is a meeting in the bureau tomorrow, and I just rushed back to participate." ”

After eating, Deputy Director Fang and the driver returned to the provincial capital. Deputy county magistrate Zhang arranged Zhao Changfeng into the county party committee guest house.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you can buy some daily necessities and clothes this afternoon." Deputy county magistrate Zhang explained.

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "I bring clothes." "He didn't want to buy clothes in a small county.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang shook his head and said, "You bring all autumn clothes, right?" It's cold in the mountains, so you might as well buy some cotton clothes and quilts to bring in. ”

Zhao Changfeng then thought that Liangyazi Township was in the mountains at an altitude of more than 1,800 meters. So he nodded.

Deputy county magistrate Zhang explained: "Buy some cooking utensils such as pots and pans, there is no staff canteen in Liangyazi Township, and there is only one small restaurant on the street, you may not be used to cooking, it is better to cook it yourself." ”

So Zhao Changfeng went to the street to buy two thick quilts, two thick sweaters, a down jacket, plus kitchen utensils such as electric stoves, pots and pans, kitchen knives and boards, and loaded a tricycle before pulling it back.

The next morning, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang and a deputy director of the Organization Department of the county party committee came over together. Deputy County Magistrate Zhang told Zhao Changfeng that Secretary Cheng and County Magistrate Wang were not there, and he wanted to stay in the county to preside over the work, and this time he was accompanied by Vice Minister Wu when he arrived in Liangyazi Township.

The jeep departed from the county seat, and after twenty minutes entered the mountainous area, the road became noticeably narrower, and the jeep went up and down along the mountain road, zigzagging forward. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and most of the things I see by chance are agricultural tricycles suddenly calling for black smoke.

The trail narrowed and steepened, barely enough to accommodate a jeep, and the fog slowly picked up. Although it was already ten o'clock in the morning, the sun looked at the sky and was a hazy white, almost indistinguishable from the moon.

Zhao Changfeng had never walked such a mountain road, and when he looked at the towering stone wall on one side and the unfathomable cliff on the other, his heart fluttered. His hand involuntarily gripped the handle of the car door, and the back of his hand was a little white.

"Hehe, Comrade Xiao Zhao, are you a little worried? Don't worry, we walk this mountain road hundreds of times a year, and there are no problems at all. Vice Minister Wu said with a smile.

As soon as Vice Minister Wu's words fell, there was a loud bang in front of him.

The driver hurriedly slammed on the brakes, and the jeep let out an ear-piercing scream, almost piercing Zhao Changfeng's eardrums.

After the vehicle stopped, Zhao Changfeng hurriedly followed the driver and Vice Minister Wu to get out of the car. Only then did he realize that more than fifty meters ahead, there was a pile of rubble piled up in the middle of the road, and the fresh traces were obviously just rolled down from the cliff next to him.

Zhao Changfeng was shocked into a cold sweat. If the jeep had gone any faster, wouldn't it have been smashed by this pile of rocks?

Vice Minister Wu smiled and said to Zhao Changfeng: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small landslide." "Apparently commonplace.

The driver stepped forward, and Zhao Changfeng shouted: "Danger, don't go first!" ”

The driver ignored Zhao Changfeng and went straight forward.

Minister Wu said: "It's okay, this mountain road often runs, and drivers know where there is danger." What to do, they also know. ”

Sure enough, the driver went to the front of the collapse and looked at it and turned back.

"Minister Wu, it doesn't matter, the weathered parts have fallen, and the top will not continue to collapse for the time being. We just need to clean up this pile of rocks in the way! ”

The driver took out a long crowbar from the trunk and walked back to the cave-in.

Vice Minister Wu said to Zhao Changfeng: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I'm really sorry, it looks like you have to take a hand too!" ”

Zhao Changfeng looked up at the cliff next to him. Vice Minister Wu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay!" ”

Seeing that Vice Minister Wu was rolling up his sleeves, what else could Zhao Changfeng say? Even if you are a little worried, you have to roll up your sleeves and follow.

The three of them began to clear the stones on the road, and everything that could be moved went directly to the bottom of the cliff on the side of the road, and if it could not be moved, two people carried it, and three people pushed it. The driver of the last boulder was prying with a crowbar, and Vice Minister Wu and Zhao Changfeng pushed it hard, and after sweating all over their bodies, they finally pushed the most stubborn roadblock into the cliff.

Then I got in the car and continued to set off, but nothing happened to me. At one o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Crouching Tiger Township.
