The day after Chen Mingyu returned to Shuangmiao Town, Gao Mingyi called Chen Mingyu to his office.

"Mingyu, I'm going to give you a task, are you interested?" Gao Mingyi came up and said straight to the point.

"Hehe, Mayor Gao, I'm more than happy to do any task you ask!" Chen Mingyu laughed.

After the last cooperation, the relationship between Chen Mingyu and Gao Mingyi has become very close, although it is still nominally a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but in fact it is almost like a friend. So in this kind of occasion, when there is no one else, Chen Mingyu talks to Gao Mingyi more casually.

"It's about road repair, under the care of Secretary Su, the county has allocated a sum of money to us, and the Transportation Bureau has also given us a part of the money, a total of about two million. Secretary Cai and I have studied and are ready to use this fund to build this road in Dushan Village and Shantou Village first, and then think of a way to see if we can raise a fund to repair this road from our town to the county seat. If this road is not repaired well, the development of our town will be greatly limited! In addition, we are going to set up a leading group for road construction, and I will be the leader of the group, and I will be fully responsible for this work. However, I'm usually so busy that I can't devote all my energy to building roads. Therefore, I recommended you to Secretary Cai, let you concurrently serve as the deputy leader of the road repair leading group, and the specific work is mainly done by you, no problem, right? Gao Mingyi said.

Chen Mingyu was a little stunned and said, "Wait, Mayor Gao, you mean that you want to build all these two sections of the road, but the funds that can be used at present are only two million, right?" ”

"Hehe, that's what it means." Gao Mingyi said with a smile, "Although all in all, this money is still a little less, but it is not easy for the above to allocate such a sum of money!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled bitterly: "To build such a long road, there are only two million funds in total!" Mayor Gao, this is not a little little, but the funding gap is too big! ”

Gao Mingyi threw Chen Mingyu a cigarette, and after Chen Mingyu took it, he took out a lighter, leaned over and lit it for Gao Mingyi, then lit it for himself, took a hard puff, and said: "Besides, Mayor Gao, I will do the work of repairing the road, and it is not right at all, and it is not good!" ”

Gao Mingyi said with a smile: "Blame me for not telling you clearly just now, what I said is mainly up to you, referring to the road from our town to Dushan Village." Given your good relationship with Shen Guoqing and others, I think it's very appropriate for you to do this. Moreover, I have also discussed with Secretary Cai, and Secretary Cai also agrees with this. Also, Mingyu, don't you want to enter the government system? This time it is an opportunity for you to preside over the road construction work, as long as you show your ability and enter the government system, isn't it just a matter of words? ”

Chen Mingyu actually wanted to open up the bridge to enter the government system by building roads for a long time, so he didn't have any hypocrisy in front of Gao Mingyi, and said: "Mayor Gao, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I am willing to accept this task." But, I want to know, how much of these two million are you going to take out to build this road from our town to Dushan Village? ”

Gao Mingyi pondered for a while and said: "This road is a rural road, the specifications don't need to be too high, from our town to Dushan Village, and then to Shantou Village, it is a distance of 15 kilometers." According to the budget of 50,000 yuan per kilometer, it will take about 750,000 yuan to repair this road. The two villages had raised 50,000 yuan before, although it was embezzled by Fang Ruishan to lend usury, but the money has now been recovered. So, in addition to the 50,000 yuan, I will withdraw 500,000 yuan from the 2 million funds, and make up enough 550,000 yuan for you, so as not to embarrass you too much, how about it? ”

Chen Mingyu shouted: "Mayor Gao, how did you calculate the budget of 50,000 yuan per kilometer?" Even if the road is built on a flat place, the budget per kilometer must be more than 50,000 yuan, right? Moreover, this road is still a mountain road, which is much more difficult! Although I haven't calculated it yet, 50,000 yuan per kilometer is definitely not enough! In addition, if you want to build such a road, you must have to make a design drawing, and the design fee alone is a lot of money! Moreover, even according to the budget of 50,000 yuan per kilometer you said, there is still a gap of 200,000 yuan, and this road cannot be repaired! ”

Gao Mingyi smiled: "Mingyu, don't get excited. I also know that the budget of 50,000 yuan per kilometer is really tight, and this is still a big funding gap, and it is really difficult to build this road. However, this is not entirely impossible. Mingyu, think about it, Dushan Village and Shantou Village want to build roads so strongly, you can do a good job of mobilizing them, let them work for free, or get a little less wages. Also, What are the specialties of Dushan Village and Shantou Village? Stones! So, we can use local materials! If the labor cost and material cost are so combined, won't it save a lot of money? Of course, these two things are easy to say, but of course they are not so easy to do. However, it's man-made, Mingyu, I believe you have the ability! Besides, having said that, if I took out two million to build such a fifteen-kilometer road, it would be too simple, I could find anyone to do it, but how could I show my ability? Isn't it? ”

Chen Mingyu is considered to have served Gao Mingyi, he knows that bargaining with such a slippery head will not take much advantage, and he thinks that what Gao Mingyi said is also good, if there are enough funds, anyone can do this job, how can he show his unique ability?

So, Chen Mingyu stopped talking nonsense and said: "Okay, Mayor Gao, I accept this task!" However, if you encounter any problems in the process of building roads, whether it is policy or funding, you must fully support me! ”

Gao Mingyi smiled: "Don't worry, you are working for me, how can you do it if I don't support you?" ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Mayor Gao, then I will mention the policy matter first. ”

Gao Mingyi said: "Okay, you say." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "If you want to mobilize the people of these two villages to volunteer, I will definitely not be able to launch it, and I must let the people who make their two villages leave the prestige to do it." In my opinion, the most authoritative people in these two villages are Shen Guoqing and Shi Zhaolei. But both of them have now been removed from their posts, and if they are not right, they will not be right. So, Mayor Gao, I hope that the town party committee can restore the two of them to their positions and restore their reputations. ”

Gao Mingyi said with a smile: "There is no problem at all, in fact, Secretary Cai has already talked to the two of them two days ago and decided to reinstate them!" ”

Chen Mingyu said happily: "Really? That's great! ”

Gao Mingyi asked, "Mingyu, do you have any other questions?" ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Not for the time being, if you encounter any problems in the process of building the road, I will report to you at any time." ”

Gao Mingyi said: "Okay, come to me at any time!" ”

……

After Chen Mingyu took over the task, he rushed to Dushan Village in the afternoon to find Shen Guoqing, and Shen Guoqing summoned his members of the village committee while asking people to call Shi Zhaolei and others over.

While waiting for Shi Zhaolei and others, Shen Guoqing and Chen Mingyu smoked cigarettes and chatted alone.

"Chen Suo, this time I was able to get such a good result, thanks to you!" Shen Guoqing said sincerely.

"Hehe, you are polite on National Day, I want to say that the two leaders who play the main role are Secretary Cai and Mayor Gao." Chen Mingyu said with a smile.

"Secretary Cai, Mayor Gao, and you Chen Suo, are all people I should be thankful for! Especially this road construction, Chen Suo, we can all count on you! Shen Guoqing said very much looking forward to it!

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "National Day, before I officially talk to you about the issue of road construction, I want to talk to you a few words. This morning, Mayor Gao has already talked to me, and the town will definitely give full support to the construction of this road. But you also know that life in the town is not easy, so in terms of funds for road repair, Mayor Gao will approve a sum of money for us, but our two villages also have to contribute. ”

Shen Guoqing asked with some concern: "How much money did Mayor Gao approve?" ”

Chen Mingyu said frankly: "500,000 yuan, plus the 50,000 yuan raised by your two villages before, a total of 550,000 yuan. All this money is used to repair the road from the town government to your village and then to Dushan Village, with a total distance of about 15 kilometers. National Day, what do you think? ”

Shen Guoqing said embarrassedly: "I don't know how much it will cost to build this road, but my sister told me that this road is more difficult to repair, and it will definitely use a lot of large machinery. The town gave a total of 500,000, plus the 50,000, it's still a big difference! Chen, I know very well in my heart that the main reason for building such a road is to facilitate the access of the people in our two villages, and also for the better development of our two villages in the future. However, when we raised the 50,000 yuan last time, Zhaolei and I didn't know how many good things they said, and finally got the money together. In fact, it's not that the people in our two villages are stingy and reluctant to pay money, it's really that everyone's life is too difficult to pay! If we let the two villages raise another 200,000 yuan, Chen, I don't want to give you back, but I really don't have much confidence! ”

After saying this, Shen Guoqing squatted on the ground with some annoyance.

Chen Mingyu said: "If you don't let you pay, only let you work voluntarily?" ”

Hearing Chen Mingyu's words, Shen Guoqing's eyes immediately lit up, stood up, and said, "Don't let us pay for it?" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "I don't let you pay for it." ”

Shen Guoqing said happily: "As long as we don't have to pay for it, it's no problem to volunteer to work!" We mountain people don't have anything else, but we have strength! Besides, this road was originally built for the people of our two villages, and if anyone is unwilling to work, I don't think he will have the face to face the villagers in the future! ”

Chen Mingyu said: "There is another thing, in addition to voluntary work, some of the raw materials needed to build roads, such as stones, stones, etc., also need to be provided by your two villages. ”

Shen Guoqing said: "It's easier!" Our two villages don't produce food, they produce stones! And the quality of the stone is very good, and it is absolutely no problem to use it to build roads! Chen, I'll do this! ”

Suddenly, Shen Guoqing groaned again and said, "However, Chen Suo, a stone machine is needed to produce stones, and a stone machine costs tens of thousands of yuan, and our village can't afford it!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled slightly and said, "National Day, can I ask you a question?" ”

Shen Guoqing nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask casually." ”

"What are you going to do after the road in your village is repaired?"

"What are you doing?"

"That's right!" Chen Mingyu said, "Didn't you say it before, the reason why your two villages are so poor now that they even have difficulty eating, but after the road is repaired, what are you going to do to get your village out of poverty and become rich?" ”

Hearing Chen Mingyu's question, Shen Guoqing scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "What I used to think about every day was how to repair the road, and as for how to get the village out of poverty and become rich after the road was repaired, I really didn't think about it......"
