There was an earthquake in the town government of Binh Duong town.

On the second day of Xia Jian's tenure, Deputy Mayor Zhao received a notice of transfer from Pingyang Town, and at the same time, an official letter from Tong Jie's promotion to deputy mayor was also sent. Xiong Sanqiang's punishment announcement was also posted on the bulletin board, and no one from the family planning office was spared, and even their director went down to the village early with his luggage.

Such a big change is really the first time in Binh Duong Town. For a while, everyone felt that they were in danger, the working atmosphere suddenly changed, and those who were lazy at work in the past suddenly became diligent.

Xia Jian said that he would do it, and he summoned cadres above the deputy mayor level to immediately divide more than 20 natural administrative villages in Pingyang Town. Since Liziwan Village, which has not been lifted out of poverty, Hejiaping Village and Shangxiagou Village are just connected. Xia Jian simply put all these three villages under his name.

Tong Jie saw that Xia Jian had put all the three poorest villages in Pingyang Town in his district, and she said on the spot that she belonged to Xia Jian's district. Because it is three poor villages, there is no one to rob them at all.

Secretary Wang said that he would go to the village, and later, under the unanimous opposition of Xia Jian and others, he stayed in the town to preside over some daily affairs.

As soon as he ate lunch, Xia Jian took Tong Jie and Niu Li to take the lead in setting off, his task this time was very heavy, the three poor villages should be lifted out of poverty within a year, this is what he praised to everyone at the conference.

Tong Jie sat in the passenger seat and directed the route for Xia Jian. She smiled and said, "Mayor, you are the first mayor in our city to drive to work. We've followed you too, and we're envious of the people in other towns."

"Hey! It's just a substitute. As long as we can pull us to our destination, I can take any car," Xia Jian said as he observed the road conditions in front of him.

Tong Jie smiled and said: "It's really not enough to rely on the car alone for the destination, but also with the help of our eleventh type."

"Ahh Are you saying that we still have to walk, can't the car drive in the village? Niu Li, who was sitting in the back row, asked a little surprised.

Tong Jie smiled and said: "The Liziwan village we went to first did not have a road at all, and there was only a small road for people and livestock to go up about two or three miles from the river dam to the village, so we had to walk up."

"Really? What about the other Hejiaping and Shangxiagou villages? No, let's walk too! Xia Jian drove the car and asked a little surprised.

Tong Jie said with a smile: "The situation in the three villages is basically the same. Due to the poor conditions, there are no cadres who want to come here. Later, Deputy Mayor Zhao took the initiative to ask Ying to come here to stay in the village, and everyone was impressed with him at first, but later I realized that he didn't come at all."

"What? No one else is here, so where has that person gone? As soon as Xia Jian's words were finished, the car stopped. It turns out that there is no road ahead.

Tong Jie smiled and said, "Help my wife farm at home!" ”

When Xia Jian heard this, he didn't speak again, he didn't expect that the cadres in the town would let them stay in the village would be such a situation. Deputy Mayor Zhao dares to do this, so don't others have him like him?

On the way to Plum Bay, Xia Jian saw the real poverty here. Transportation used to be carried by donkeys, as well as mules and horses. The point is that there is no decent path.

As Xia Jian walked, he was silently calculating how much it would cost if he wanted to build a road for Liziwan Village. Isn't there a saying? If you want to build roads first, it seems that the most fundamental way to solve this problem is to build roads.

Along the way, looking all the way, thinking about ways to solve it. By the time we reached Liziwan Village, the villagers had already begun to work in the fields. Xia Jian stood at the entrance of the village, looking at this small village with a population of only five or six hundred, and his heart was really not good.

As far as the eye can see, there are all adobe houses, and there is hardly a single family living in a brick house. And the village roads are dirty and messy, piled up everywhere. Since the family has livestock, there is a bad smell as soon as you enter the village.

When the villagers saw that three people who were dressed as new were coming, they gathered around, as if they had discovered that aliens were coming. Tong Jie asked a villager to call the village chief.

Xia Jian asked a few villagers about the situation by the way, and he was relieved that the village seemed to be so poor, but the villagers had enough food, and none of them were hungry.

"Ouch, Mayor Mare! You're coming" A middle-aged man in his forties ran over, he shouted at Xia Jian and the three of them, not knowing which one was the mayor.

Tong Jie did an investigation before she came, and when she saw her, she smiled and asked, "You are the village chief Li Hulin!" This is our newly appointed Mayor Xia and the main person in charge of the Poverty Alleviation Office of Liziwan Village."

As soon as the onlookers heard that Xia Jian was the mayor of the town, several older villagers discussed it, which was nothing more than saying that Xia Jian was young and promising, and he was already the mayor of the town at such a young age.

Li Hulin ran to Xia Jian in two steps, smiled honestly and said: "Mayor Xia, the conditions in our village are too poor, you have worked hard, I don't know what I need to cooperate with this time."

"It's not hard, where is the village committee office in your village, let's talk about it when we go to the office," Xia Jian said very politely. He saw that this Li Hulin was an honest man, so he had special respect for him.

Li Hulin hesitated, then took Xia Jian and the others to the office of the village committee. This is the most humble village committee office Xia Jian has ever seen. An adobe house with broken eaves, and a few stools in addition to a table. There was a thick layer of dust on the tables and stools, and it looked like no one had sat in them for at least a few months.

There was a loudspeaker on the table, which was the radio of the whole village, which should be the most valuable thing in the village. Tong Jie and Niu Li were very capable, and when Xia Jian was looking around, the two of them had already cleaned up the dust on the table and stool.

"Mayor Xia! Our village is on this condition, you will be on it," Li Hulin said with an embarrassed face.

Xia Jian smiled slightly, then sat down generously, he smiled and said, "Village Chief Li! We are here to help the poverty alleviation of Liziwan Village, and our goal is to let your village get rid of the hat of this poor village within a year."

"Mayor Xia! You may not know when you first arrived, but the town has been shouting the slogan of poverty alleviation for our Liziwan Village for several years, but there has been no action, so the villagers don't believe what you say at all. Besides, the conditions in our village are not ordinarily poor, and it is not easy to get rid of poverty," Li Hulin said with a sigh.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of someone with a heart." As the village head, first of all, don't retreat, if you don't take the lead and rush forward, the villagers will be even more needless. You call all the cadres in the village here at once, and I'll give you a meeting now."

Li Hulin hesitated for a moment, then ran away. Xia Jian thought it was very strange, you said that this radio is idle, why don't you use it? When he tried it, he found out that the broadcast turned out to be broken.

About half an hour later, five people from the village, including the village clerk, the captain, and the director of the Women's Federation, plus the village chief, a total of six, can be regarded as the leadership team of Liziwan Village.

"I am the new mayor of Pingyang Town, and some people may have heard that I am from Xiping Village, and the breeding factory, vegetable greenhouse, and leisure agriculture in Pingyang Town have a certain relationship with me. The reason why I say this is to tell you that Liziwan Village will definitely be able to get rid of poverty and embark on the road to prosperity," Xia Jian said loudly.

When these leaders heard this, they happily began to discuss, and it seemed that everyone still had some confidence. Xia Jian continued: "I will arrange it for you now, and the six leaders of you will divide the village into six districts, and immediately clear the village road, and you can't pile anything outside the wall, especially the manure of livestock."

"Oops, Mayor Mare! We are rural people, these things are closely related to our lives, you don't say pile up on the village road, where to put it! When a captain heard this, he immediately objected.

Xia Jian's eyes widened and he roared: "Excuse, I know that these are your current farm fertilizers, but stacking them like this will affect the appearance of the village, and secondly, it is really unhygienic." I'm here to tell you that in the future, there will be no need to raise a single animal in Liziwan Village, and it will be fully modernized."

"If we don't raise livestock, what about our transportation? And what else to use to plow the land? That's too unrealistic, isn't it? The other captain asked with a smile.

Xia Jian said patiently: "On the basis of tidying up the village, we will first build a road leading to the river dam, so that it will be convenient for us to access the outside world, and then build a road to the field." At that time, they will all drive tricycles to the ground. There are also machines for farming, so you can use one for several families."

"Really? Village Chief Xia, I hope what you said is not an empty word," Village Chief Li Hulin said with a smile.

Xia Jian smiled slightly and said: "Is it an empty word, it depends on the result of everyone's efforts, pie will never fall from the sky, the worse our conditions, we have to make greater efforts than others, just believe in yourself"

"Who in the village doesn't want to get rich, but there is no good project to get rich!" Li Hulin let out a sigh of relief and said.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "The project is not something you care about, the top priority is to carry out the work I just arranged for you first." Listen clearly, whoever of the six of you fails to complete the task will be responsible. Give you two days, we will come to check, and if the village is passed, we will immediately repair the road."

"Really! That's great, but Murakami doesn't have a penny, and some are labor," Li Hulin said happily.

Xia Jian thought for a while and said, "I will find a professional to come over and measure, and once the measurement is done, we will start construction immediately." However, you have to prepare the villagers in advance for this, no matter whose land this road passes, no one is allowed to come out and block it. And during the construction of roads, the whole village was dispatched with strong labor"

"These are not problems, what we have in our village is land. If the whole land is occupied, there is still mobile land in the village, so they will be replenished, and they will be charged for road construction," Li Hulin said and talked about the money again.

Xia Jian stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't have money, so we don't need to harden it first, I saw that there are a lot of small stones in the river dam, so let's build a road paved with small stones first, and then harden it when we have money." As for the cost of the machinery and equipment used, the village will not be made to pay."

"That's good, our whole village is waiting for your good news," Village Chief Li said a little excitedly.

When he came out of Liziwan Village, Xia Jian felt that the burden on his body was not light, and he had to find a way to get a few excavators to come over.
