During the meal, Wang Yong and the secretary talked a lot, talking about the past, the present, and the future. Most of the time, it is the secretary who talks about the suffering and helplessness of the village since the founding of the country.

The current poverty in the village cannot be solved by just one or two donations.

If you want to completely change the appearance of poverty and backwardness here, there is an old saying: it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

If you don't let the people here grasp the skills or industries that will give them enough food and a better life, no amount of money is meaningful.

Wang Yong thought about it for a long time, but combined with the local reality, he really couldn't find any good projects. A single lack of water causes most projects to die.

It's okay to get some drought-resistant plants, but it doesn't help to solve the problem of local water shortage, just to improve the local environment.

Maybe I should first find a way to solve the problem of water for their life and production, and if this problem is solved, then other problems can be solved very easily.

But what can be done to solve the local water shortage?

Repair reservoirs? This thing will work in the long run. But far water can't quench the thirst of near! It would take a year to build a bigger reservoir, right? As for when the reservoir will be full, only God knows!

Build aqueducts to divert water from somewhere else? This is a good way, but the people and things involved in this method are too big, and it is not something that can be done by an individual at all, so it must be arranged by the state, at least the provincial government.

Wang Yong had a headache, and when he was thinking of how to help his compatriots in these poor areas, there was a dog barking outside the door, and then a voice came in.

"Is there anyone in the family?"

"Yikes! Isn't this the voice of Township Chief Zhang? ”

As soon as the secretary, who was already a little drunk, heard this voice, he shouted in surprise, and immediately woke up most of the wine. Got up, jumped off the pit, pulled on his shoes and ran out.

It didn't take long for the two of them to walk in together.

"Wang Yong, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Liu of our township, Township Chief Zhang. ”

"Oops! You're Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, Mr. Wang didn't be able to entertain us well, I'm really sorry! ”

Secretary Liu stepped forward to hold Wang Yong's hand. It's very enthusiastic, and I apologize as soon as I open my mouth.

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood. It must have been the principal of the elementary school, Zhang Shiping, who sold himself, otherwise he wouldn't have alarmed these two local snakes so quickly.

But this kind of thing is no wonder, finally someone came here to help the poor, if you don't tell the two, it is estimated that when the news of Wang Yong's coming here spreads, then Principal Zhang will not be able to eat and leave.

"It's okay, our superiors asked us to make an unannounced visit when we came over. Get to know the local area first-hand. By the way, have you two eaten, why don't we talk while eating? ”

"Okay, that's trouble!"

This Secretary Liu is not polite at all. followed Wang Yong's words and answered.

"Yuanyuan, you can go to the car and get some canned food and ham sausages, by the way, there is also a watermelon in the car."

The table was already a mess, and it was really not suitable for entertaining guests. Wang Yong simply asked his daughter-in-law to go to the car to get some canned food and ham sausages and other current snacks. Have a good chat with these two newcomers.

If you really want to find a good way to help the people here get rid of poverty and become rich, these two local snakes should be quite key figures. At least people are more familiar with the situation here than the average person, and they know what is most needed here.

Soon. Yuan Yuan and Sister Yao took some of the leftovers on the table and put them on the table.

There are many varieties of canned food in Wang Yong's car, and there are four kinds of canned fish alone. Anchovies, Wuchang fish, dace with tempeh, crispy whitebait. It's all okay to eat directly, but it's all cold, so Yuanyuan cooked it herself, and fried a plate of black bean sauce and dace mixed with wild vegetables.

In addition to canned fish, there are also canned fruits, canned pickles, such as enoki mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded mustard, pickles, etc., there can be as many as six or seven kinds.

In addition, there is a sausage, which was also fried by Sister Yao with green onions. The sausage is mixed with green onions, and after being heated, the aroma is so tempting that the two of them, as the secretary and the township head, begin to drool.

"You're welcome, let's eat first."

"Well, fragrant, so fragrant!"

"Delicious!"

"On this opportunity, on behalf of the villagers of Hongtuliang Township, I welcome Mr. Wang's arrival, let's do one."

"Don't, don't, drink slowly, I still have something I want to ask you two about. If you drink too much, it will be a delay. Wang Yong hurriedly interrupted, he had already drunk a lot just now, and there was no need, not to mention that he still had something to discuss with these two.

The secretary with the wine glass also remembered at this time, people came to investigate, and those "uncles" in the past were not all the way.

The gang of things that came here to carry out the so-called poverty alleviation in the past, which one didn't let the county eat and drink a lot of food, and then they would throw out two dollars with disdain, when did they come to such a remote village to make an unannounced visit? Today, it seems that this Mr. Wang is indeed different.

First of all, people didn't move the crowd this time, just two people and one car. It can be said that the light car is simple, and it is really different from the group of "big masters" who came before.

Second, people come here for unannounced visits, and they don't deal with the government at all, but go down to the front-line rural areas to obtain first-hand information. It's really not easy for such a little white face and a little girl from the city to be able to put down their identity and mingle with the peasants.

In the end, people even eat by themselves. I don't know how much these things will cost, but one thing is certain, that is, they will definitely be much more expensive than the things that this host's family has brought out.

Not to mention those canned foods that taste so good, even those two big watermelons, in the Hongtuliang area, there are very few that can eat a bite.

Therefore, Secretary Liu looked up to Wang Yong very highly, and as soon as Wang Yong said it, he no longer insisted. Instead, he first pecked a sip of the wine in the glass, and then raised his glass to signal to Wang Yong. That means, listen to you. Feel free to do so, everyone.

After drinking a circle, Wang Yong began to get down to business.

"Our intention for coming this time is that Principal Zhang has already told the two of you. I don't know if you two have any good ideas for helping local villagers get rid of poverty and become rich? ”

Wang Yong's question suddenly silenced the two parents.

As for the local situation, the two of them, who have worked here for half their lives, can be said to know quite well. The environment here is harsh, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are no competitive specialties and resources.

For the economic development of their own jurisdiction, it can be said that the two of them are the most nerve-wracking. I don't think about it from time to time, but there's really no good way.

Seeing that the people in the township are suffering from poverty every year, life is worse than death, and the children can't afford to read, so they can only go to other places at a young age. Work hard for the sake of life. Even so, most people are unable to completely change their poor fate.

Brothers and nephews can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, those who are sick can't afford to see a doctor, and they can't afford to eat meat during the New Year, which is too common in this land.

But there is no way, at least there is really no way to change this situation. It's not that I haven't tried, but every time the result is a waste of money and money, and in the end, most people accept their fate.

I don't know when, such a rumor appeared. It is said that this is the place where God forsaken or punished. There is no one or any way to lift the people here out of poverty and live a good life.

But Secretary Liu, a party member and a local parent official, does not believe it, and he firmly believes that there must be a way to keep these kind, hard-suffering people out of poverty completely. Really get rich.

From Wang Yong and Yuanyuan, he saw hope. This is really to help the poor peasants here, not to show off to win fame and fortune, that's it. Secretary Liu is convinced.

"I also learned that the main problems here are traffic and poor environment. As for roads, the state is now implementing a plan to connect villages with roads. I also know some people in the central government, and after I go back, I will do my best to build the road for us. With roads, many of the current dilemmas will be easily solved. ”

"If you want to get rich, do you need to build roads first, you know this."

Obviously, the secretary of Dapo Village had obviously drunk too much, and Ken Ben didn't realize what kind of huge help Wang Yong's words could bring to the poverty situation here.

As the secretary of the township party committee and the head of the township, they certainly understood what kind of changes Wang Yong said would bring to this impoverished township if it was really done.

Therefore, both of them were speechless with excitement, and they didn't know how to express their feelings at this moment.

The road has long wanted to be repaired. However, as a national-level poverty-stricken county, as a poverty-stricken township with an average annual per capita income of only about 600 yuan at most, road construction can only be imagined.

Not to mention the township, the county does not have this ability, and even the city does not have the ability to build roads for all the poor areas.

Wang Yong didn't care about the excitement of the two, but continued to say his thoughts.

"In addition to building roads, there is also the problem of solving the problem. I think so, there are two ways. One is to find a place to build a large reservoir to store water, and the other way is to divert water, build an aqueduct to divert water from other places. ”

As soon as Wang Yong's words were finished, Township Chief Zhang frowned.

"Mr. Wang, I admit that you are right to solve the problem of water shortage in the region at a certain level. But both of these methods are a bit impractical! The investment is too big, and Kenben is not something that our township or county can afford. ”

Township Chief Zhang's words are full of endless emotion and helplessness, in the final analysis, it is not just one word - "poor"!

Of course, Wang Yong knew that these two methods would cost a huge amount of money, so Wang Yong couldn't make up his mind before.

However, when I thought of the black, thin Zhang Min I saw in school before, the head with messy hair like black mud made him look much bigger than normal.

Only those eyes full of longing made the poor child look a little angry.

In the corners that seem to have been forgotten, there is a group of people of the same nationality, the same skin color, the same blood, and the same desire for happiness as us, hoping that the sun that originally belonged to them could break through the dark clouds and sprinkle on this long-suffering land.

Wang Yong secretly made up his mind in his heart. (To be continued......)
