For Kang Yong, but the countermeasures proposed. Liu Shiqing found all the right ones and asked him to discuss it with the head office. He didn't have time to worry about these things now. May Day holiday. Liu Shiqing also had no way to rest, so he decided to take a few days to go to Jincheng, the capital of Longxi Province, for a good field trip. This is the experimental field of the scientific research project of "extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere" set aside by the central government, and it is necessary to understand this place in advance, so as to be targeted at the time of scientific research. Make some appropriate adjustments.

Liu Shiqing told Lu Yongxiang about his idea, and Lu Yongxiang was very supportive and decided to personally accompany Liu Shiqing and them to Longxi Province. In addition to Guo Qianrong, Yang Nuoting and others, who are inseparable from Liu Shiqing, there are also Guo Qianrong's second grandmother Xuan Guifang. The old lady did not accompany Liu Shiqing and Guo Qianrong, but went on a business trip to Longxi Province.

Xuan Jiaofang is not an academician of the Academy of Sciences, but an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences is her work unit. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences is a state-level agricultural research institution, which is responsible for the national agricultural research on basic and applied basic and applied research and high-tech industry development.

Xuan Guifang is a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and her research group specializes in the cultivation and propagation of wheat and green seeds. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has set up an agricultural pilot project in a county under Jincheng City, and three to four thousand acres of land are specially planted with the "Shennong No. 1" wheat cultivated by Xuan Guifang. Xuan Guifang went to Jincheng this time. Take a look at the growth of wheat and give some necessary guidance to local growers. Because it is Shennong No. 1 wheat, it is planted for the first time in Longxi Province, so Xuan Guifang attaches great importance to it. You have to go to the local area and do the field in person. Just in time for Liu Shiqing, they were going to Jincheng City, so they went together, and they took care of each other.

The group took a plane from the capital airport and arrived in Jincheng, Longxi Province. The leaders of the Jincheng City Government got the news in advance. rushed to the airport to greet them, and then the city leaders personally arranged Liu Shiqing and them to live in the best hotel in Jincheng.

The central government's decision to locate Jincheng as an experimental field has long been sent from the central government to Longxi Province, and Longxi Province has notified Jincheng of this decision. The leaders of Jincheng City are mixed with each other about this news, and they are happy that Yinhe Industry, the God of Wealth, has finally begun to patronize their Jincheng City, and they are worried that the central government has designated Jincheng City as a test field, which must be because the pollution problem in Jincheng City has reached a very strict point in the minds of the central leaders. All registered. Otherwise, the central government would not have chosen other cities, but chose them.

Jincheng City is the capital of Longxi Province. Its geographical location is very unique, it is the central city of the northwest region of China, the geometric center of the land territory of China, surrounded by mountains in the north and south of the city, and the Yellow River passes through the city from east to west. It has the characteristics of a belted basin city.

Jincheng City is also an important industrial town in the northwest, where heavy industry factories and mining enterprises are intensive, resulting in too many local pollution sources, coupled with the dry climate, the geographical environment is a typical river valley-shaped basin, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the southwest of Jincheng blocks the flow of air, and the air circulation of Jincheng is not smooth, so that the air pollution problem of Jincheng City is well-known throughout the country.

For many years in a row, Jincheng City has the worst air quality in the country and the most polluted city in the country.

"Dean Lu, Mr. Liu, you have a scientific research project this time, and we have also heard that as long as we can solve the air pollution problem in our Jincheng City, what do you want, we will give. Money, people, land, policies or whatever, even if you open your mouth, as long as the policy allows, we have no reason to disallow it, even if it is beyond the scope of the policy, we have to find a way to do it for you. Zhang Dongliang, the mayor of Jincheng City, made a bold promise.

"Mayor Zhang, the main reason why we came here this time is to understand how strict the pollution problem is in some Jincheng cities, and then to prescribe the right medicine and carry out corresponding scientific research. You don't have to be busy making promises, and when you need help, we won't be polite. I also believe that Mayor Zhang, like the three million citizens of Jincheng City, wants to live under the blue sky again instead of suffering from air pollution. Lu Yongxiang said with a smile.

On the way back, Liu Shiqing told Lu Yongxiang about it. Dealing with the local government, all the things are handed over to him, who made him the president of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, he is highly respected and has a prominent status, so let himself, an inconspicuous junior, save some effort, socialize less, and do more practical things.

Lu Yongxiang's statement to Liu Shiqing. Very grumpy. The old man is old, but he is not confused, he knows very well that in the eyes of local officials, he is far less popular than Liu Shiqing. Liu Shiqing is able to invest in the local area and increase local employment opportunities. If you increase taxes, you won't have that ability.

Zhang Dongliang is also an informed person, and after chatting with Liu Shiqing for more than half an hour, he excused Liu Shiqing and them to have a good rest, and then left. As soon as Zhang Dongliang left, Liu Shiqing began to arrange manpower to sample and test the atmosphere in different locations in Jincheng City and measure the composition of the atmosphere. Measure the type of pollutant, the pollution process, etc.

Naturally, Lu Yongxiang arranged people to do these things, and the Huaxia Academy of Sciences sent a lot of people to come with the old dean this time, and their main job was to do chores, and they would do whatever Liu Shiqing asked them to do.

After arranging everyone's work, Liu Shiqing and Guo Qianrong were ready to send Xuan Guifang to Qingcheng County in person. Qingcheng County is a key county in the national poverty alleviation and development work, located in the eastern suburbs of Jincheng City. The county has a total population of more than 400,000 and more than 1 million acres of cultivated land. Due to the climate here, the annual precipitation is only one-third of the annual evaporation, the water resources are insufficient, and the grain production here has always been not very good, which is one of the main reasons why the people here are relatively poor.

Liu Shiqing's classmate Yu Shengmin at Shuimu University is from Qingcheng County. When Xuan Guifang came over, he didn't greet the county leaders of Qingcheng County in advance, for fear that they would report good news and not bad news. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Chinese officialdom. Like Xuan Jiaofang, who does scientific research work, what he is most afraid of is encountering such an official. If they can't get the real picture, they don't know if Shennong No. 1 wheat is suitable for large-scale promotion and cultivation in Qingcheng County. Once the wrong decision is made, it will be for the local people. Or for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, it will cause very big losses.

When Liu Shiqing came out of Jincheng. from

Zong car rental company rented a Lan car, a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, a medium-only, escape... cars. After driving into the boundary of Qingcheng County, Chen Junwei, who opened the road in front, asked where to go.

Chen Junwei made a field trip to Jincheng City for Liu Shiqing. The wedding date was postponed for a few days. After all, he and Kunyu are married, if Liu Shiqing can't show up at the wedding. That's a pity.

Xuan Guifang told Chen Junwei that the place she was going to was Xiaguan Village. Xiaguan Village is one of the poorest villages in Qingcheng County, and the per capita annual income of the villagers is not even 1,500 yuan. Many of the middle-aged laborers in the village have all gone to work in other places. Most of the people left in the village are the elderly, women and children. Even among the stronger women, there are not many.

When the Academy of Agricultural Sciences selected the cultivated land in Xiaguan Village for cultivation, it also wanted to do its best to help the villagers of Xiaguan Village, not only providing them with improved seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers for free. The necessary cultivators are also provided to them.

Xiaguan Village is not next to the road, and after the convoy gets off the road, the road becomes very difficult to walk. It's rugged and extraordinarily bumpy. Liu Shiqing is a little better. Guo Qianrong has never been on the road of this situation, but she feels that she is about to fall apart. The convoy traveled for more than half an hour. Only then did I see that not far away, there was a village. If you look at it from afar, you can see that this village is not close to wealth.

At a glance, there are basically no new houses, all of them are old-fashioned low houses, which are unusually old. None of the walls of every house were made of bricks, and the better ones were made of mud mixed with wheat to make adobe bricks, and then built up. Or simply ram a wall of mud mixed with wheat hu, which is good, most of them are fence walls with dead branches, thorns, and the like. Such a village has been extinct in Wuling City for many years, Guo Qianrong has lived in the city since she saw it, and in addition to seeing it on TV, it is the first time she has seen a living reality version. When the convoy entered the village, there were several old men basking in the sun at the entrance of the village, and these old men and old ladies were all thin and thin, with wrinkled faces. The clothes on the body are also quite old, and some of them can still see traces of patches. Every old man's eyes are very cloudy, his eyes are dazed, he can't see any nostalgia for life, to put it mildly, they live a kind of mixed eating and waiting for death.

Look at this village that seems to live in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and then think about the high-rise buildings and car houses in Yanjing City, everyone who lives in Yanjing is well-dressed and the worst-dressed, and it is several times stronger than the villagers of Xiaguan Village. Think about the old people in Yanjing City again. There are so many things to do, fitness equipment all over the community, activity rooms for the elderly, activity centers for veteran cadres, dozens of parks, and so on. The comparison between the two is simply one in the sky and the other on the earth.

Guo Qianrong hadn't imagined what the poorest village in the poorest county in the country would be like before, but when she really saw it, she found that the poverty here was more miserable than in the movie and TV series. "Shiqing, we must help them.

Xuan Guifang said: "Rongrong, poverty alleviation is not such a simple thing. Every year, the state devotes a lot of manpower and material resources to support these impoverished areas, but they still can't get out of the circle of poverty. The reasons for this are very complicated, not that if you want to help, you will definitely be able to help. Of course, if you really want to help, I can give you an idea, starting with changing the mental outlook of the villagers, the most important thing is to be able to build some hope primary schools for them, the children here are too hard. Let's go, let's get out of the car, and I'll take you to Xiaguancun Primary School to have a look. ”

No matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. This is a slogan shouted in many places, but there are also many places where this slogan is only at the stage of a slogan. However, in Shimonoseki, this slogan is not just a slogan, but a real fact.

Xiaguancun Primary School is a village-run primary school" but has the only brick house in the village, red bricks and tiles, which is particularly cool in this village with yellow and black backgrounds. This brick house looks a little old, and it looks a little old, and few of the glass windows can be found intact. Where the glass shattered. They are all covered with plastic sheeting instead of glass to perform the duty of shelter from the wind and rain.

The courtyard wall of the elementary school is not high, and teenagers, standing outside the courtyard wall, can see the movement inside. The ground of the yard is very flat, there is no wild grass, in front of the brick house. There is a tall flagpole erected, and a faded national flag flutters on the top of the flagpole. It's not the kind of live one that I bought. Instead, use a piece of red cloth and make it yourself. Under the wind and sun, not to mention the faded eyes, there are several patches on it. But even so, this flag is still very complete, and there is no opening. Under the scorching sun, it flutters high, quietly protecting the villagers of Xiaguan Village.

When you walk to the base of the brick house and look inside from the window, you will see that the tables, chairs and benches inside are dirty and broken, with missing arms and legs, and there are almost no intact ones. On the lectern, there was a box, and in the box there were a few chalk heads, which were already very short, and any peanut was bigger than them...... Shiqing. The last time we came here, the comrades of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences originally planned to donate to build a hope primary school in Xiaguan Village, but the money had already been donated and had already been transferred to the account of Qingcheng County. Who knows that Qingcheng County had better embezzle the cover money and use it to build a township middle school. It made us very untempered, and Xuan Guifang said helplessly.

It is wrong for Qingcheng County to embezzle funds, but they are doing the right thing to do when they misappropriate funds. What's more, the construction of village-run primary schools is obviously more important than the construction of township middle schools.

Liu Shiqing sighed, "It's not a difficult thing to donate funds to Qingcheng County to build a hope primary school, I'm afraid that the primary school will be built, and in such a poor place, don't even want to recruit good teachers." No good teachers came. Children of Qingcheng County. It is also very difficult to figure out guò and learn to change their fate. ”

Guo Qianrong said: "Shiqing. In any case, Hope Elementary School must donate. If we don't donate, we can't get over it on our conscience
