Chapter 32 Settle accounts for the common people

Gao Jianbin and Li Li spent a warm night, Gao Jianbin went to the supermarket to buy heart-shaped candles, made a table of dishes, and the two started a candlelight dinner. Li Li really loved this man to death, let go of her shyness and let Gao Jianbin love her to the fullest. Being able to live a lifetime like this is really the happiest thing in the world. Gao Jianbin drove back to the government compound of Meteor Bridge Town, and Liu Yan came as soon as he entered the office, not to mention, being the deputy mayor really gave birth to a bit of a king's spirit, a bit of official authority. After the two sat down, Zhu Yuqin smiled and brought hot tea to the two of them, knowing that she could be the deputy director, and the joy in Zhu Yuqin's heart made her radiant.

Liu Yan wondered, what happened to this little young woman today? To Gao Jianbin's spring? But it's okay. Gao Jianbin didn't know Liu Yan's dirty thoughts, so he took a sip of tea and asked Liu Yan: "How is the propaganda work progressing with a smile?" Liu Yan hurriedly said: "Secretary Gao, the staff of our town have launched twenty-three, and in the past few days, they have memorized the information of the new economic park in Meteor Bridge Town, and the materials such as booths, promotional color pages, ribbons and banners are also ready, as long as you give an order, we can go up at any time." Gao Jianbin nodded and continued: "You and I will go to Wujiamiao in a while, hold a symposium with the local people, and then notify the Wujiamiao Village Committee and let the representatives of the villagers from the surrounding villages come over." Call Director Xia over and go with you! ”

Liu Yan drove the car, and the three of them drove towards Wujia Temple together. On the way, Gao Jianbin asked Xia Feifei: "How is the love of the masses?" Is there much against? Xia Feifei said: "Most of the people in several villages support our plan, and a small number of people oppose our development, because they are afraid that they will not have income after they get the money, second, some people have doubts about moving the cemetery this time, and third, some elderly people are unwilling to move to a new place." Gao Jianbin nodded and said: "This is a very normal concern, we will solve the problem when we find it, and if there is no problem, the matter will be over." ”

The village committee compound of Wujiamiao Village is lively like a big gathering, the news that Gao Jianbin is coming makes many people excited, and everyone is happy to look forward to the future life, the county's first rural building community is about to be born in Wujiamiao. But there are also many discordant voices, especially Lin Cheng, the old secretary of Houlin Village, is the most prominent, peasants and peasants, originally based on agriculture, renting out the land they rely on for survival, isn't it like being an official and losing his gun. This secretary is only in his twenties, and so many people follow the trend when he comes up with an idea, and he can't do things firmly without hair. A few old men even scolded these people with wooden sticks, and they actually wanted to move the ancestral grave, which is really unfilial to their children and grandchildren!

Chunjianghe, the secretary of Wujiamiao, kept explaining to the old people that a cemetery would be built to bury the ancestors at that time, and an old man with a very high rank pointed to Chunjianghe's nose and said: "What do you know about the milky hairy boy, can the ancestral tomb be moved casually?" O unworthy descendants! We old guys are dead, and there's not even a place left! If you dare to move the grave, I'll die on your grandfather's tombstone!" ”

Chunjianghe, a top student of Wujiamiao, returned to the village as a secretary after college, and he agreed with the plan of Gao Jianbin, the secretary of the town party committee, which was a good and feasible way to lift Wujiamiao and several surrounding villages out of poverty. He also thought of a lot of ways to make the village rich, but it has not been effective, Gao Jianbin's plan only to know that he does not have that kind of vision and height, the same thing Gao Jianbin is much farther away. At this moment, Gao Jianbin's car came to the gate. Gao Jianbin walked into the compound with Liu Yan and Xia Feifei with a smile on his face, and several village cadres were no strangers to Gao Jianbin, so they hurriedly greeted Gao Jianbin and shook hands with him, and let the three town leaders in the middle. The old man who was very excited just now was a lot quieter, and he was afraid that the mentality of seeing officials had continued from the old generation. Gao Jianbin smiled and said, "What were you discussing just now?" Speak up and let me hear it too! ”

Chun Jianghe smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Gao, the third uncle in the village does not agree with the town's plan and strongly opposes the relocation of the grave!" Gao Jianbin said lightly: "This is also human nature, is that the third uncle?" The old man came over stubbornly, Gao Jianbin shook hands with him politely, and then asked him: "Old man, can you tell me why you can't move the grave?" "The third uncle's name is Wu Tai, and he is the most senior person in the village. He dared to shout at the juniors in Chunjianghe, the village, but Gao Jianbin didn't dare to be so rude, he had experienced the four old and the old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits from beginning to end. After a long time, he said: "The dead have been buried in the ground, the government should let them go!" ”

Gao Jianbin sneered and said, "This old man, you are old enough to be my grandfather, and there is almost nothing in the village that you don't know, right?" Wu Tai said proudly: "I am eighty-seven years old this year, and there are few people in the village who can compare with me." Gao Jianbin asked him: "So how many old graves are there in the village now?" Wu Tai replied: "There are three large and small cemeteries in the village, and there are more than 300 since the establishment of the village. Gao Jianbin then asked: "How much land?" Wu Tai said proudly: "The cemetery of our Wu Family Temple is the best protected, and even the planted forests occupy more than 40 acres of land." ”

Gao Jianbin sneered and asked Chun Jianghe: "Secretary Wu, how many people is there in Wujiamiao Village?" How much arable land is there? What is the average income? Chunjianghe blushed and said: "Secretary Gao, Wujiamiao has a total of 1,723 people, a total area of 2,321 mu of cultivated land, and the average annual income of the villagers is less than 2,000 yuan. Gao Jianbin sternly said to Wu Tai: "Old man, the average person in Wujiamiao is less than one and a half acres of land, and according to your wheat planting, the yield per mu is only 13,400 catties, right?" The price of wheat is only a fraction of a piece, which is equivalent to the price of 1,000 yuan a year when you farm the land. Throwing away the cost of seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, pesticides, and not counting labor, it would be good for you to settle down 13,400 yuan. If you still want to eat, won't you sell all the wheat for money? You know how much flour a family of three eats a year, and you still have to buy clothes and electricity, right? The child still has to go to school, right? A young man asks for a bride price for a daughter-in-law, right? Want to build a house, right? To put it mildly, you go out to work at the Haizhou construction site is far more than that, right? How can two laborers get 1,000 yuan a month to throw away the necessary expenses, which is 12,000 a year, everyone will calculate this account, right? A cemetery occupies the land of thirty laborers, you actually said it so easily, you are a respected elder in the village, and 90% of Wujia Village is a family, you are not in a hurry with such a situation? How many new daughters-in-law are there in your village now? How many college students are raised? How many 10,000 households are there? What about 100,000 yuan households? ”

Lighting a cigarette, Gao Jianbin continued: "We must respect the dead ancestors, and we didn't say that we don't care, a cemetery can be built to house thousands of spiritual positions and ashes, and the four villages have saved at least more than 100 acres of land, so that the dead force the living to live, isn't it a strange news?" When a person dies, he is a small box, and the final destination is the same for everyone, without any difference, so why should we hold on to the old concept? Do you know where the geographical advantage of Wujiamiao is? Why did the town spend so much effort to build the new economic park here, firstly, your location has an inherent advantage, and secondly, your villages have ranked first in the town for five consecutive years, and the number one is positive, the number of relief households is the first, and the number one is positive, and the school out-of-school rate is the first. Then he said to Chun Jianghe: "I will give you a day to discuss, and tomorrow morning a few of you village party secretaries will come to my office and tell me the results!" ”

After saying that, he walked out of the compound and drove away. It seems to have forgotten Liu Yan and Xia Feifei's cunning. All the crows were silent, and for the first time, someone used the method of settling accounts to show the bloody facts in front of everyone in the form of numbers. Everyone was stunned. Wu Tai blushed even more and didn't say anything for a long time, Gao Jianbin, a young man's merciless words, he really couldn't accept it for a while. But Wu Tai had to admit that Gao Jianbin's words were really right, and the starting point was definitely good. Then his own sons and grandsons, I couldn't help but sigh, until now, none of my grandchildren have gone to high school, and none of them have married a daughter-in-law, because the family really doesn't have so much money.

The poorer the place, the more problems there are, and it takes 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to build a house to marry a daughter-in-law, but the current situation is that a grandson's bride price can't be made up. Not to mention building a house. The grandchildren are all working outside, and they earn hard-earned money without education, and they can't earn a few dollars a year. The land in the village yields 16,700 catties of wheat per mu, but a considerable part of it is 12,300 catties per mu, and it is not enough to eat! The old guys in the surrounding villages also lowered their heads and did not speak, they all spoke with facts, they had no words to prove that Gao Jianbin's words were wrong, and the villagers would not listen to them. Wu Tai unexpectedly found that many people were looking at him with dissatisfied eyes, and suddenly he became an old-fashioned old antique in the village, he squatted on the ground, took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and rolled a cigarette in a trembling manner. Light it with a match and smoke it slowly, this is the tobacco leaf I bought when I was in a big market, and I asked Chunjianghe for some old newspapers and old texts cut into pieces, this tobacco leaf is also inferior, and the mouth is full of bitterness when smoking.
