Back in the township, after Lu Zhengdong finished the matter of Dong Yangsheng and Zhang Cuiping, he hurriedly called home.

Twenty-two years have passed, and Lu Zhengdong can't wait to meet his mother, but now that the county is re-investigating the Yang Yuqing incident, he doesn't dare to walk around, so he has to endure it.

The mother's gentle voice came from the microphone:

"Xiaodong? Can I help you? Why don't you speak? ”

Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar voice in the microphone, Lu Zhengdong's heart was excited, and the words he was about to say were thrown out of the clouds, and it took a while for Lu Zhengdong to reply:

"Mom? …… It's nothing, I'll give you a call when I'm free...... Are you alright? ”

"I'm fine, Xiaodong, the conditions in the countryside are not good, and the weather is very hot this year, so you have to pay attention to your body."

Lu Zhengdong listened to his mother's familiar voice, his voice was a little bitter, and his eyes were a little astringent, but he still tried his best to control his feelings, not let his tears flow, and not let himself appear too excited:

"Mom, don't worry, I'm very good in the township, I received the things you brought from Torin Donghe two days ago, and I will come back to see you on the weekend."

"You can work with peace of mind, and you don't have to come back when you're busy."

Lu Zhengdong's heart was warm, he nodded slightly, saw that someone was coming outside, chatted a few more words, then put down the phone, calmed down before walking out.

――――――――――

After Dong Yangsheng and Zhang Cuiping turned themselves in, the county issued a series of instructions to set things right.

He used to be very good to the people in the township, and the people knew that Yang Yuqing committed suicide because he found out that Dong and Zhang had hooked up, and their impression of him got better again.

The county soon resumed his work, and his division of labor remained unchanged, and he was still in charge of the township's financial and trade work.

The ordinary staff of the township government all greeted with a smile; The head of the township originally thought that he was just a hairy young man full of momentum, but this time in such a desperate situation, he was able to turn over with a salted fish, and he also put away his contempt, and was much more polite to him.

Ma Buyun ran to his office even more violently, enthusiastically praising his youth and promising, his eyes like torches, and politely inviting him to his home for dinner.

This is a world of difference from the detour that these cadres in the township saw him before, and the world is hot and cold, which is vividly reflected at this moment.

In fact, Lu Zhengdong's thoughts of these people are very clear, since he didn't get into any trouble in this incident, that is, Wang Liben didn't want to see him, but his age and education are there, and if he doesn't die, there will be a blessing, and the future can be said to be limitless. If you can, you can't be offended, and it's better not to be offended.

As for people like Ma Liguo, who were originally under his charge, he was like that before, for fear that ill-fitting shoes would come one after another.

It's just that Lu Zhengdong also knows in his heart that although these people are very polite to him, their eyes are looking at Wang Liben's attitude, and they don't want to offend him, let alone offend Wang Liben.

Who is really good to himself, Lu Zhengdong has a scale in his heart, many people are smiling on the surface, and they don't really hit him in their hearts, maybe they are handing knives behind their backs, who is worth dating, who needs to be guarded against, and they still need to be carefully observed.

Lu Zhengdong didn't run to the leaders of the county, he knew very well that the work at hand had not been done, and it was boring to get in front of the leaders, and if he wanted to look up at the road, he had to bow his head and do things first.

Yang Yuqing's matter cleared the fog, that is, he moved to a big mountain, and now he travels lightly, he has to do his job well in a down-to-earth manner, and do something in the mountain that satisfies the people and makes the leaders above appreciate, so that he can fight a bloody road from the township, and then talk about other things.

More than 20 years have passed, and many memories of Lu Zhengdong have been blurred, and he has also seized the time to familiarize himself with the situation in the township, especially those related to his work.

In Shanhe Township, there are three deputy township heads, the deputy head of agriculture is the busiest in the township, and the agricultural production of the whole township throughout the year depends on him alone, and every day he gets up early and runs around in various villages and groups, not to mention responsible for agricultural production, but also responsible for flood prevention and drought control, etc., and the general deputy head of agriculture is easily promoted to the head of the township, after all, agriculture is the main business of the township.

The work of the deputy head of the township for family planning is the simplest, and he only cares about the belly of the women in the township, which is a drudgery that is easy to produce results and problems. …,

The worst day is the deputy head of the family planning township, although the work is single, just care that the belly of the married women in the township does not grow up without approval, and only that the belly of the married women in the township does not grow up without approval, but it is the leader who is most likely to cause group incidents such as cadre-group conflicts, and is also one of the leaders hated by the people. But this work is the leader who is most likely to cause mass incidents such as cadre-group conflicts, and it is also one of the leaders hated by the people.

However, Shanhe is a small township in the mountains, and the state allows families whose first child is a girl to have a second child, but the deputy head of the family planning township has the best life.

The deputy head of the township for family planning is having a good time, but he, the deputy head of the township in charge of finance and trade, is having a hard time, and allowing him to have a second child means that the family planning fines and forfeitures have been greatly reduced, and there is one less important source of financial revenue.

There was originally a township-run handicraft factory in the township, mainly making some Buddhist handicrafts, and it had been beautiful for a year or two, and the products were also exported, but the good times did not last long, the handicraft factory had just lived a good life, and it encountered the file of eight or nine years, and Western countries imposed sanctions, and the handicraft factory fell into the abyss again, and the products were backlogged in the warehouse, and they have been discontinued for more than a year.

At present, the most important source of financial revenue for Shanhe Township mainly depends on the overall planning of retention.

Shanhe Township has the problem of retaining the overall plan, and Lu Zhengdong also carefully sorted it out.

Although on the whole, Shanhe Township has not broken the red line of 5% levy, the calculation method is not open and transparent; The expropriation work has not been refined, there are some human problems, and some families with good conditions have been delayed or exempted, while some really difficult households have not enjoyed this policy; Village-level finances are relatively chaotic, the amount of money collected and how to spend it is very vague, and many accounts are a confused account, and the common people have the greatest opinions on this.

Rural road construction fees, this is the people's opinion is the largest, Shanhe is a small township in the mountainous area, except for the county to the township along the road, no other village has a road, the people are more urgent to repair the road, but the township has collected so many years of rural road construction fees but not even an inch of road repaired. The common people are very dissatisfied with this, which is also an important reason why they are reluctant to hand over the overall planning.

In fact, these reasons can be summed up in one sentence: the common people are too poor.

Mountains and mountains are mountainous areas, there are many people and little land, the land is barren, the vast majority of the people are still hovering on the food and clothing line, once God does not take care of it, even food and clothing are a problem, they can't eat enough, and they are naturally not active in handing over and retaining the overall planning. forced the people to be anxious, and the people scolded their mothers desperately; He can't put it away and keep the overall planning, and the people who eat the financial meal also scold his mother for stomping his feet, and he, the deputy head of the township of finance and trade, is a rat in the bellows, and the situation in the township is the most difficult.

His current task is also quite arduous, and there are only three months before the end of the year.

Lu Zhengdong also knows that although the overall planning of retention has just caused such a big turmoil, which is equivalent to a minefield, the overall planning of retention is stipulated by the state, and it cannot be ignored, and the problem of expropriation is still something he cannot avoid.

In order to solve this problem, in fact, the most important thing is to solve the problem of increasing peasants' income, and when the people have money in their pockets, the difficulty of collecting money will naturally be reduced.

In order to solve the problem of increasing peasants' income, the construction of rural roads is imperative.

The matter of road construction was also on the agenda before Wang Liben went to Shanhe Township.

In fact, the construction of roads does not require too much money from the township, and the land occupied by road construction is self-regulated by the village as a unit; Some of the stones used to build roads are; The manpower to build the road is to be done by each household. The most expensive is the road roller, think of a hard way, with the big stone to repair the reservoir to press, at most it is a little bit of the stone to pull the wage, the township needs to pay the main thing is to buy ** explosives, road repair tools and so on, these costs, roughly less than 200,000 yuan.

This is a great thing that can not only win the sincere support of the people, ease the tension between the cadres and the masses, but also solve the problem of expropriation, and it is definitely worth doing.

But the most tricky thing now is that it is difficult to even pay wages in the township, where to find the 200,000?

Looking for a superior for funding?

Eight or nine years later, however, the profits of many state-owned enterprises in the central and western regions have declined, state-owned enterprises have suffered large-scale losses, and many county-level finances have been very tight.

The situation in Yanghe County is similar, several pillar enterprises in the county, the county silk factory, canning factory, meat factory are all due to sanctions or market changes, etc., Yan zhòng losses, the county finances are stretched, the county is still trying to find ways from the townships below to maintain the normal operation of the county and the problem of eating.

Last year, in the name of institutional reform, the county delegated the management authority of most of the unimportant units in the seven township stations and eight institutes to the districts and townships, but in fact the county was trying to lose its burden -- the districts and townships were responsible for the expenses and salaries of these units, so that the county could take a breath. In this case, it is very unlikely that you can get money from the county to build a village road.

If there is no way to obtain funds from the higher levels, then only the township can find a way, so it is necessary to first increase the financial resources of the township and solve the financial revenue that maintains the normal operation of the township government.

Lu Zhengdong's eyes were on the handicraft factory in the township that had been out of production for a long time.

Although the handicraft factory has ceased production, the factory is still there, and if you make a good tinkering, there should still be hope that it will be able to revive itself.

"No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth", if the handicraft factory can be revitalized, the annual tax and the contract money paid can also be more than a quarter of the annual retention and overall planning.

With this foundation, then a lot of things are much easier.
