Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Mixed Blessing 5
Coming out of the village along the East River, Qi Tianxiang was in a very bad mood, which was manifested on his gloomy face, not only Yao Ling and Xiao Zhang could see it clearly, but Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi could also feel it very clearly, so the next activities and arrangements were all made as simple as possible. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Qi Tianxiang could clearly feel everyone's cautious performance, and he knew what everyone was aware of, but he didn't want to explain, let alone say too much.
The situation in the village along the East River was similar to what he had imagined before, although he was fully mentally prepared and had thought about what he wanted to say, he still felt that any words were so weak and pale.
The smile is still humble and kind, and the words are thoughtful, but Qi Tianxiang can still clearly feel that from the director of the village committee to the ordinary villagers, there is a faint estrangement from the outside of the cordial, which is a precaution of distrust, as well as a faint disgust, and an indescribable resistance. These Qi Tianxiang thought of it, and he also had full mental preparation, suffered such a big loss, was hurt so deeply, encountered such a cold reception, indifference and white eyes, and even paid the price of his life for it, and disappeared without a trace in one fell swoop, how could this be possible. Moreover, Qi Tianxiang himself did not expect the understanding and enthusiasm of the villagers, after all, the huge scam originated from the leadership and promotion of the county, and it was the inaction of some organs in the county and the prevarication and greed of officials, which took advantage of the authority of the government and the trust of the people in the government.
Time can heal some of the cracks and heal the scars in the heart, that is, the wound is not deep enough, the crack is not wide enough, and it is possible to expect time to heal. At the same time, time can also make the wound fester, and the crack becomes a chasm, the key is the attitude towards the crack, and the way and method of healing and soothing the wound.
This is what Qi Tianxiang thinks at the moment, these are not the main things, what causes Qi Tianxiang's vigilance and hidden worries is the mood and confidence of the two village committees and the villagers, low, discouraged, and heavy, all of which are reflected in the words and performance of the villagers. Mourning is greater than heart death, this thought instantly surged into Qi Tianxiang's mind, and where it was frozen, it couldn't linger.
It's not terrible to fall, it's terrible to be scared, Qi Tianxiang doesn't dare to think about it anymore, in the face of hundreds of thousands of loans that every family has, in the face of unknowable vegetable income, and increasing living expenses, burdened with a heavy burden, how can he have a good mood and a beautiful vision for the future.
Although Feng Juncai repeatedly said about the support methods and measures for the villages along the East River, Qi Tianxiang's mood couldn't get better when he saw the bright-looking greenhouses in the fields and the air-conditioning facilities that didn't work, so he couldn't say the words of encouragement he had prepared, he hastily looked at a few plots, asked about the vegetable planting, and went into the village to see the living conditions of the villagers' families.
Compared with the poverty of Guo Village, the situation in Dongheyan Village is much better, but the mental outlook and psychological state cannot be compared. The poverty of Guo Village made Qi Tianxiang appreciate Feng Juncai's courage and dare to show such a poverty situation for himself to see. But in the observation of the village along the East River, Qi Tianxiang clearly felt the exhaustion and deep disappointment of Feng Juncai's expression, it seems that he has also made countless efforts, including subsidies, financial support, and other means can not change the two village committees, as well as the shadow and heaviness in the hearts of the villagers, and he is also in a helpless situation.
Qi Tianxiang's mood was very bad, he didn't say a word in the car back to the county seat, and his brows were tightly locked, until the vehicle drove into the compound of the county party committee and the county government, and faced the other leaders of the county who stood in the courtyard to greet him, Qi Tianxiang barely smiled, but it was just a polite smile and polite entertainment.
A red brick three-storey building is the office building of the county party committee and the county government, behind the building is three rows of blue brick houses, the yard is very large, very empty, the poplar trees planted in the ring building are tall and straight, and the green shade is dense, making the whole yard quiet and serene.
Qi Tianxiang took a look at the office building and did not say anything, such a building should be a masterpiece forty or fifty years ago, and the overall harmony with the buildings in the county town is low-key and pragmatic, and it is also consistent with the economic situation of Heyang as an agricultural county.
"This is where our county party committee and county government work, the conditions are average, but this is fine, it doesn't look good, and the office is okay." Feng Juncai saw Qi Tianxiang stop and look at the office building, and cautiously introduced.
"Whether it is comfortable or not, it is not the user who has the final say, but the people who are comfortable when they see it, it is really comfortable." Qi Tianxiang had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Perseverance is not only a kind of perseverance, but also a virtue, not all new is beautiful, traditions and memories are sometimes like old wine, which lasts for a long time." ”
"Secretary Qi said it so well, we must understand it seriously." Feng Juncai cautiously made a gesture to invite in, and echoed with a smile: "The office conditions are not comparable, as long as you can have a place to sit, it is better than anything else." ”
Qi Tianxiang glanced at Feng Juncai, knowing that this was specifically said to him, so he snorted softly, and slowly walked through the corridor of the office building, the small bungalow in front of him is the hub of the county party committee and the county government.
Walking straight into the small conference room of the county party committee, the staff had already poured the tea in advance, exuding an elegant aroma, Qi Tianxiang was invited by Feng Juncai to sit down in the chairman's position, and all the county-level leaders sat down in turn according to their positions, everything was going on silently, very quietly, and very orderly.
Feng Juncai first introduced the situation of Heyang County, its population, area, number of townships and towns, as well as the county's economic situation and characteristic distribution, as well as the county's current major industries, especially the situation of agricultural production and rural areas.
Qi Tianxiang took out his notebook and carefully selected the key points to record, for Feng Juncai's report, it was only a general record, because what he said, the information was there, Qi Tianxiang's mind also accurately remembered, and he knew his intentions, such a briefing should be the content of the speech to Youzhi later, he should talk about the achievements in recent years, as well as the steps and measures taken, or there are still existing problems and difficulties, especially the projects that are ready to be launched, as well as the confidence and determination of the county party committee and the county government. But these Feng Juncai don't say it, but may leave it to Xiang Youzhi, it seems that it is also an intentional arrangement, whether it is a perfect combination or an embarrassment, it seems to also explain the current political ecology of Heyang County.
Sure enough, after Feng Juncai finished the report, he continued to report to Youzhi, and the first thing he talked about was the development of the three major industries in the county, including the output value income of agriculture and agricultural products, as well as the detailed increase in farmers' income, as well as the construction and work of rural organizations. There is not much introduction to the industrial situation, but it is a general introduction to the main industrial layout, as well as the output value and profits and taxes, and the service industry is even more passing, maybe it is not worth mentioning, maybe there is nothing to say at all. The contradictions are mainly concentrated in the weakening of the form of existence of the villagers' organizations, and the role and restraint force are not strong, especially the indifference to the concept of the rural legal system, which has brought about many practical contradictions and problems, which seem to have a strong pertinence, but it seems to be a general statement. After talking about the problem, the next thing to talk about is the blueprint for future development, and the attitude of Xiang Zhizhi is more low-key, still talking about the idea of agricultural development, in addition to emphasizing the acceleration of collective economic development, and refining the specific measures for the construction of rural organizations. At the same time, he focused on the development of education, public health, and social security, but he did not mention urban construction and market-oriented construction, and did not mention the development of the service industry driven by the consumer industry.
The report was detailed for more than 20 minutes, and Qi Tianxiang patiently listened and recorded for more than 20 minutes, neither interrupting nor asking questions, because the report to Youzhi was not leaky, not only rigorous, but also corroborated by data, without any interjection, let alone any questions.
It is precisely because of the tight fit that it caused Qi Tianxiang's doubts and incomprehension, originally Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi reported a little abnormally, usually the county magistrate was the assistant to talk about the work, and the secretary mainly talked about achievements and ideas, and the reason for the change was nothing more than two kinds, one was the different division of labor, and the other was the conscious dilution. Judging from today's one-day inspection, the situation of strong and weak government does not exist at all, and Feng Juncai still firmly controls the decision-making and discourse power, so there can only be one possibility, and the two have communicated, and it seems that they are deliberately avoiding some problems, or deliberately downplaying some problems.
What is being downplayed and why is leaving a way out for Feng Juncai, Qi Tianxiang has clearly felt the crux of the problem of weakening the rural organization construction that Xiang Youzhi deliberately talked about, but he did not pick it out, and he was unwilling to interject, everything still needs to be verified and time to consider.
After reporting to Youzhi, the deputy secretary of the county party committee reported on the county's social security and comprehensive management, the director of the people's congress reported on the acceptance of social concerns and the work of the people's congress, and the deputy county magistrate reported on food and drug safety and market supervision.
After all the reports were over, they were all quietly waiting for Qi Tianxiang's summary or instructions, Qi Tianxiang looked around the people in the conference room, knowing that it would not work without leaving some instructions, and it would be difficult to end this report meeting at all.
Although he was in a bad mood and didn't feel very good, looking at everyone's eager eyes, Qi Tianxiang slowly adjusted his thoughts and opened the conversation, "Heyang County is the first stop of grassroots research after I took office, and it is also the first step for me to understand agriculture and rural work. ”
When Qi Tianxiang said this, he paused deliberately, his eyes glanced at Feng Juncai, and he caught a look of surprise and surprise on his face, which seemed to be in his own expectation, so he smiled faintly, and then said: "How to do it in the agricultural county, to be honest, I don't know, but I have seen a lot of poor temples and rich abbots, what Heyang is like has always been my doubt, this question was not completely unveiled until I walked into the county government compound just now, and being willing to be poor has been an appreciation for the people of great virtue since ancient times, and Heyang County has done it." A poor temple is a poor temple, only by calming down and chanting the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, you can still gather high monks, the key is to meditate with peace of mind. ”
"This is the first thing I didn't expect, that is, the county party committee and the county government are working in such an environment, and there is such a strong work enthusiasm and spirit, which is amazing." Qi Tianxiang thought slowly and said: "The second unexpected is that agricultural production has such a scale in Heyang, there is an intensive model such as a land bank, and relying on the strength of the collective is showing vigorous vitality, I really can't imagine what kind of situation it will be in time." ”
Qi Tianxiang looked around the conference room, saw everyone's focused expressions, and continued: "This third unexpectedly, it is the courage of the Heyang County Party Committee and the county government, daring to show themselves the ugliness of the family, and frankly showing me a poor village like Guocun, which is commendable, which shows the courage and courage of the Heyang County Party Committee and the county government." ”
"These three can't think of giving me inspiration, I might as well measure my own family, I also have a 'three' this time, but it is 'three no', there is no project in the document bag, no funds in the pocket, no idea in the head, want to get any specific benefits from me, you are probably going to be disappointed." Qi Tianxiang said such things in a stern tone, which was very unexpected to everyone, which was also expected by Qi Tianxiang, so he softened his tone and said: "How to do the 'three rural' problems of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and what it was like before the reform and opening up, after the reform and opening up, there are 'Xiaogang model', 'southern Jiangsu model', 'West China model', ' Nanjie model', all kinds of models have achieved good results, there are different arguments about the advantages and disadvantages, which can give us inspiration, can also be imitated, but no matter how to learn, we must be combined with our own reality, otherwise it is not Handan toddler, or Dongshi imitates, there will be no other good results. Qi Tianxiang knew that his topic was a little more esoteric and too serious, so he consciously slowed down his speech and said lightly: "After watching it for a day today, it can be said that it is a mixed blessing." The good news is that there are many bright spots in agricultural production in Heyang County, and they are of great value for summarizing and promoting. What worries us is the impact of agriculture, a low-output and high-input mode of production, on rural areas and peasants' lives, as well as the potential harm to rural social and cultural development. What should I do after development? What about underdeveloped areas? What will the countryside look like in the future? I hope that we will all work together through hard work, through unremitting work, in practice, and strive to find a way that is not only suitable for the economic development of Heyang, but also in line with the requirements and interests of farmers, this is our responsibility, but also our unshirkable mission. ”
Qi Tianxiang hurriedly ended the topic, still smiling slightly in the warm applause of everyone, then stood up, accompanied by Feng Juncai, left the conference room, and ended the day's inspection trip
