After breakfast, everyone took a short rest and got on the bus to visit farmers in Longwanghe Village. When the car drove to the head of the Longwang River Manshui Bridge, stopped, Yue Haohan got out of the car, went to Gu Zhengshan's car behind, and said to Gu Zhengshan through the window, Secretary Gu, this Manshui Bridge is estimated that the car can't pass, let's park the car here and walk to the village.

Gu Zhengshan pushed the car door, got out of the car, and said, okay, let's walk, let's walk, it's okay to move.

The group all got out of the car, and walked towards the opposite side of the river with Gu Zhengshan on foot, on the bridge construction site, the people working were busy, and from time to time a few migrant workers pointed to Gu Zhengshan and his party walking on the Manshui Bridge, saying something.

A group of people crossed the Manshui Bridge, chatted, strolled forward, walked to the front corner, and saw a group of villagers in Longwanghe Village, Sun Ergou, sweating and pulling a board car, the board car was stacked with a few sacks of bulging goods, Li Ergou saw Yue Haohan in the crowd, so he stopped the board car, pulled down a towel on his shoulder, wiped the sweat on his face, and greeted loudly, saying, Yue cadres, you are a rare guest! Where did the big leaders come to us to inspect today?

Yue Haohan said, Ergouzi, what is your car pulling?

As he spoke, the group arrived at Li Ergou's cart, Li Ergou said, the sack is dried fresh wild bamboo shoots, I pulled across the river, first put it in Heiyazi Village relatives' house, tomorrow Wang Hongbin invited a small truck, with his goods, pulled to the Yanshan City Farmers' Market to sell for a few dollars to buy fertilizer.

Gu Zhengshan walked to the cart, raised his hand and pinched the dried bamboo shoots in the sack, and asked, if you pull down the Yanshan City Farmers' Market, how much can you sell for a catty?

Li Ergou looked at Gu Zhengshan vigilantly, and said, this leader, I can't just tell you how much a pound sells, we just earn a few hard-earned money, the wife and children go up the mountain to break bamboo shoots during the day, and after peeling the shell overtime at night, they have to be cooked in a pot of boiling water, and then dried, so that they can be sold in the market.

Yue Haohan understood in his heart the reason why Li Ergou didn't say how much a pound was sold, smiled, and said, Ergouzi, don't worry, you just tell the truth, this is the secretary of our county party committee, who came down to understand the actual situation, not to ask you to collect taxes, don't be afraid, say whatever you want, you still don't believe me?

Listening to Yue Haohan's introduction that the person standing in front of him was the secretary of the county party committee, Li Ergou was a little restrained and nervous at that time, the sweat on his face was dripping, he pulled off the towel and wiped his face, and stammered, Gu, Secretary Gu, I, I believe in Cadre Yue, as long as there is no one from the financial office, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. My bamboo shoots are pulled to the Yanshan City Farmers' Market, and one pound can be sold for a piece of five, and after cutting out the road expenses or something, one pound can also drop a piece of about three.

Gu Zhengshan said, that's very good! Your board car has hundreds of pounds, and it can be sold for hundreds of dollars.

Li Ergou said, Secretary Gu, it's good. I'll tell you the truth in front of you, we are secretly selling, the car pulling bamboo shoots will only go down the road tomorrow morning, and we must avoid the joint checkpoint.

Gu Zhengshan asked, wild bamboo shoots are also subject to special product tax?

Li Ergou replied, saying, "Yes, the tax rate is eight percent." Secretary Gu, I have no education, I really can't figure it out, in addition to paying agricultural taxes every year, every household also has the task of taxing special agricultural products, since we have a task to share it, we should not collect it when we sell these special agricultural products; If we collect our taxes when we sell, then when the township gives us the task of tax and fee, we should not be given the task of tax on special agricultural products to every household. I don't understand, I listened to Wang Hongbin from our village tell me, I think what he said is very reasonable, Wang Hongbin is educated, he understands policies, you can ask him later.

After speaking, Li Ergou pulled up the cart and continued to walk towards the Longwang River, Gu Zhengshan and his party did not speak, Li Ergou's words are indeed very reasonable, it seems that Jiangyang County does have problems in the collection of special agricultural product tax, and there is a deviation in the implementation of tax policies; There is a suspicion of repeated expropriation and a disguised increase in the burden on peasants.

The group was silent, and soon arrived at the venue in front of the village department, the door of the village office was open, and Zhu Jinshan, the secretary of the village branch, saw everyone, and took a pack of cigarettes in a panic, and greeted him from the village office, followed by the village director Sun Mingguo, the clerk Wang Yunlai, and the women's director Wu Guiyun.

Gu Zhengshan took the cigarette and asked with a smile, are you the secretary of the village branch?

Yue Haohan next to him took over the conversation and introduced it to Gu Zhengshan, saying, Secretary Gu, his name is Zhu Jinshan, he is the branch secretary of Longwanghe Village, the one is called Sun Mingguo, the director of the village committee, this is the village clerk Wang Yunlai, and she is the village women's director Wu Guiyun.

After Yue Haohan introduced several village cadres in turn, Gu Zhengshan shook hands with Zhu Jinshan and others, and said, Secretary Zhu's name is good! Jinshan, it seems that the resources on this mountain in your village are very rich, otherwise why would you call it Jinshan?

Gu Zhengshan's words caused everyone to laugh, Zhu Jinshan took over and said, Secretary Gu, you are right, my grandfather once said when he named me, the mountains on both sides of the Longwang River are rich in resources, and there are treasures everywhere, I don't know how many generations have been raised, this mountain is a golden mountain, so he named me Zhu Jinshan.

Gu Zhengshan smiled and said, Oh, really let me say it right? Then the collective economy of your village is okay.

Gu Zhengshan talked to Zhu Jinshan, walked into the village office, pulled over a stool and sat down, and the entourage also found a stool and sat around Gu Zhengshan, Wu Guiyun, Wang Yunlai, and Sun Mingguo were busy pouring tea for everyone.

After Zhu Jinshan sat down, he replied, Secretary Gu, if you want to talk about the village collective economy, I am not afraid of you criticizing me, our village has nothing but these few broken houses, and we still owe more than 10,000 yuan of loans to the township credit cooperative.

Gu Zhengshan said, then you are incompetent as the branch secretary, not only has the village collective economy not accumulated, but also owes foreign debts, aren't you guarding the gold mountain and begging for food?

Zhu Jinshan has a bold personality and a strong sense of dedication, and he has no sense of restraint when he sees Gu Zhengshan, he will say whatever Gu Zhengshan asks, and when he sees Gu Zhengshan say this, Zhu Jinshan said, Secretary Gu, there is no way, we can't change money by guarding Jinshan, let's talk about this traffic first, just this Longwang River, there is no bridge on it, I don't know how much money is blocking us, and nothing good can be pulled out, fortunately, with the efforts of our Director Yue, we finally began to build bridges. Another point, a large area of tea plantations, walnuts, and chestnuts on the mountain are barren and no one operates, so why don't they operate them? Because the tax burden is too heavy, and the labor and transportation costs are too high, there is no accounting, who wants to do a loss-making business?

Gu Zhengshan asked, what would it be like if the bridge on the Longwang River was erected, and the road leading from Heiyazi to the market town of Wulong Township was widened and repaired?

Zhu Jinshan said: Secretary Gu, if the bridge over the Longwang River is erected, and the road from the Heiyazi Management Area to the market town of Wulong Township is widened and repaired, I dare to assure you that within three years, I will be able to double the per capita net income of the villagers in our village, and the collective economic income of the village will reach at least 100,000 yuan.

Gu Zhengshan said, do you guarantee it?

Zhu Jinshan said, I dare to guarantee that if Secretary Gu doesn't believe me, I am willing to give you a military order, provided that you must repair the road from Heiyazi to Wulong Township.

Gu Zhengshan smiled and said, okay, Secretary Jinshan is ambitious, I will wait for you Zhu Jinshan to really become the "Jinshan" of the people of Longwanghe Village. Let's go, we will find a few villagers to understand the situation, find a place in the afternoon, call a dozen household representatives, and we will hold a symposium.

Under the leadership of Zhu Jinshan and Sun Mingguo, Gu Zhengshan visited several poor households. The group first arrived at the second group of a poor household, the low earthen house looked a little dilapidated, entered the hall, saw a seventy-year-old grandmother, sitting on a small bench and washing clothes hard, the house looked a little messy, a few chickens in front of the house were shaving on the haystack, there was hardly a decent piece of furniture in the house, seeing Zhu Jinshan with a group coming in, the old man hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down, but there were only three broken chairs in the hall, and an old table was placed in the middle of the hall, Gu Zhengshan looked around the hall seriously, stood without speaking, and did not sit down.

After Zhu Jinshan explained his intention to the old man, Gu Zhengshan stood and began to talk with the old man, the old man introduced that his leg was disabled when he fell on a mountain to break wild bamboo shoots ten years ago, and his son accidentally fell and injured his lumbar muscles when he was working as a mason the year before last, and he could not do heavy work. The old man's two grandsons are both in junior high school in the township, and the daughter-in-law went to the mountains early in the morning to break bamboo shoots, and the daughter-in-law relied on her for all the farm work in the family.

Finally, the old man asked some questions about whether the township could take care of her leg disability, but because her disability had not been graded, the problem could not be solved for the time being. After listening to the introduction, Gu Zhengshan looked at Tao Chunxiao next to him, Tao Chunxiao hurriedly took out two hundred yuan in cash from his body and handed it to Gu Zhengshan, Gu Zhengshan took the money and handed it to the old man.

Out of the door of this poor household, Zhu Jinshan took Gu Zhengshan and his party to the house of Sun Qingfeng, a villager in the third group whose grandson had just been admitted to Jianghan University last year, and arrived at the door of Sun Qingfeng's house, the door was locked, and the old man was not at home. I asked the neighbor, and the neighbor said that the old man went to the rice seedlings early in the morning, and the group followed Zhu Jinshan to Sun Qingfeng's field to look for him.

Seeing everyone, Sun Qingfeng happily put down the shovel in his hand, squatted on the edge of the field, smoked dry tobacco, and talked with Gu Zhengshan. Although the old man Sun Qingfeng is over sixty years old and his body is very tough, when he talks about his grandson Sun Yonglei, the old man is both proud and excited, and his face shows joy from time to time.

The old man told everyone that when the son flooded on the Longwang River five years ago, because he went into the water to save a teenager who crossed the bridge, he was washed away by the flood, and the whole village was up and down the Longwang River, looking for three days and three nights and did not find the son who was washed away, the year before last, the daughter-in-law left the old couple and the grandson who was in high school, and ran away with a foreigner, and the old couple finally did not let the grandson drop out of school, and the grandson was also angry, and was admitted to Jianghan University last year.

Finally, the old man asked everyone about some scholarships and student loans for poor students, hoping that the township government could give some policy subsidies to his grandson who is going to college. Before leaving, Gu Zhengshan gave the old man another 200 yuan in cash. Yue Haohan touched himself, and there was more than 100 yuan in change, so he deliberately fell at the end of the crowd, and took out all the money on his body and gave it to the old man Sun Qingfeng.

After visiting several poor households, it was almost noon, and Zhu Jinshan arranged for the life of the second group of old party members Wang Xueli at noon. Leaving the old man Sun Qingfeng, everyone walked towards Wang Xueli's house.

When I arrived at the fish pond in front of Wang Xueli's house, I saw Wang Xueli's youngest son Wang Yunshan fishing for fish in the fish pond. Seeing everyone coming, Wang Yunshan said loudly to Zhu Jinshan, the secretary of the branch, Secretary Zhu, you first bring the distinguished guests to the house to drink tea, my old man has already poured the tea, and I will go back after scooping up the fish.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Xueli, who was in his eighties, was holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand and was facing everyone at the gate, and Gu Zhengshan, who was walking in front, walked forward quickly, took Wang Xueli's hand, and said, Secretary Wang, you are good!

Wang Xueli smiled and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go into the house and sit down."

Zhu Jinshan introduced Wang Xueli loudly next to him, and said, Secretary Wang, this is Secretary Gu of our county party committee, and he came to see you old.

Wang Xueli took Gu Zhengshan's hand and said, Okay, good, Secretary Gu is good, you sit down and drink tea, you must be thirsty after walking for a long time, the tea is fried at my own home, and it has been poured for you.

As they spoke, everyone arrived at the courtyard of Wang Xueli's house, the courtyard was cleaned, a square table was placed in the center of the courtyard, tea had been poured into the glass cups placed on the square table, and more than a dozen chairs were placed around the square table; In the corner of the courtyard by the door, a thick bowl of cherry trees has been hung with ripe cherries, cherries are swollen and round, in the sunlight, really like big and round agate beads.

Gu Zhengshan pulled Wang Xueli to sit down in front of the square table, and everyone also sat down; As soon as he sat down, Wang Xueli's daughter-in-law took out a small pot of washed cherries from the kitchen and put it on the square table. Wang Xueli asked Gu Zhengshan and said, Secretary Gu, you can taste it, just on the tree in my house, it is not fully ripe, eight ripe, and it tastes a little sour.

Gu Zhengshan stretched out his hand and pinched a cherry and put it in his mouth, with a sweet, sour, and fragrant taste; Spit out the cherry pits, Gu Zhengshan reached out and took two more, and said, everyone taste it, it tastes good, but it's a little sour.

Wang Xueli said that in a few days, it will not be sour, and now it can only be regarded as eight mature, but it is eating. After the cherry is ripe, the time is short, only a few days, and if you don't eat it when the time comes, it will be ruined when it falls.

Gu Zhengshan asked, Secretary Wang, do you have many cherry trees here?

Wang Xueli replied, saying, many, almost every household has it, every year at this time, we have too many cherries here to eat, some people pick them off, carry baskets to Wulong Township market town to sell, no one has sold in the past two years.

Gu Zhengshan asked, why?

Wang Xueli said that cherries are originally a fresh fruit, not easy to keep fresh, everyone sells it is a pity to see that it is ripe and can not eat it on the tree, but if you want to go to the township to sell, the people of the finance office will go to collect taxes, the taxes have been paid, and the road expenses are counted, which is a trip in vain, so everyone would rather let it rot on the tree than anyone sells.
