The waterway is not impossible, but it is extremely inconvenient, and it is easy to have accidents during the summer flood season.

When there is a drought in winter, the whole river can become very arid, and the riverbed is all *** out.

Attracted a lot of little kids to play.

Every year, because of this, the children of the residents on both sides of the river drown, I don't know how many.

Therefore, it is imperative to build a highway.

Zhou Jimin followed the project department to Beijiang County, the county seat where Shishi Village is located, and found the local leader.

What needs to be done now is to plan two national highways, one south and one north, and in addition, invest in the construction of factories.

Although Bac Giang County has many mountains and few lands, there are many stones in this place, and there are many beautiful stones.

Where there are many stones, cement factories and stone factories can be built.

Not to mention the cement plant, although such a factory is polluting, the cement plant built by Zhou Jimin will definitely not have such pollution.

After all, Oasis New City can produce relevant equipment to protect the environment and ensure that the cement plant will not suffer great environmental damage during the production process.

In the case of a stone factory, more precisely, a stone quarry.

Large stones are used for large garden rockeries, small stones are used for small and medium-sized rockeries in parks and courtyards, and pebbles can be used for paving landscaping, fish pond fencing, lawn path paving and other natural stones.

Therefore, Beijiang County does not need to do anything, it only needs to develop these two industries well, and it can take off economically.

Which does not need cement and stone for the next economic development?

In addition, river sediment is also a raw material for construction.

Although the sediment in the river is a good thing, it is better to protect it and dig as little as possible.

But at this point in time, it's better to dig directly.

There is so much sediment in the tributaries of the Pearl River, why can't it be utilized?

When the leaders of Beijiang County heard that there was such a good thing, they were so happy that they grinned.

Earlier, the province had already sent relevant documents, requiring Bac Giang County to do a good job of cooperating.

So at this moment, the leaders of the province and the city accompanied Zhou Jimin to come over, how could the leaders of Beijiang County not be happy?

The construction of the two national highways, the largest is the north-south one.

After all, the north-south road can directly lead to the provincial capital, with a total length of more than 80 kilometers, completely running through the entire county.

With such a large volume of highway, the investment is definitely not small.

As long as you grasp it well, then this wave of credit will definitely not be able to run.

"Let's go, let's go to Stone Village!"

After staying in the county seat for a day, Zhou Jimin said that he was going to Stone Village.

This can make the leaders of Beijiang County confused, what is Stone Village?

It wasn't until I went all the way north along the river, almost came to the northernmost place, and was about to get out of Beijiang County, that I finally came to Stone Village.

"Along the way, didn't you feel comfortable?"

Zhou Jimin looked at these leaders in the province and said with a smile:

"Therefore, this road must be started as soon as possible, so that there will be cement and stones that cannot be transported out by then.......

The leaders of Bac Giang County had no choice but to nod vigorously, indicating that they would definitely cooperate well.

Stone Village is not big, and if you want to get to Stone Village, you have to take a ferry four kilometers north and then go to the other side.

After arriving at the other side, everyone landed through the relatively spacious pier.

The pier was all made of stones, but it was surprisingly strong.

The whole stone village is backed by a mountain two or three hundred meters high, surrounded by a stream, and a tributary of the Pearl River on the other side.

This large area near the riverside of the tributaries of the Pearl River is full of vegetable gardens, which are the source of vegetables for the entire stone village.

On this side, which is completely close to the river, there are giant trees of more than ten or twenty meters.

The pier is between two giant trees, so when you go ashore, you can see the green vegetable garden.

Several villagers and aunts were very surprised when they saw Zhou Jimin and them landing.

After all, Stone Village has not been here for so many people since it was very close, and it still looks like a big shot.

Because there was no advance notice, even the leaders of the town did not accompany them, let alone the cadres on the commune's side.

"Seventh aunt, third sister-in-law, grandma, do you remember me?"

Zhou Jimin looked at the aunts in front of him with a smile and greeted warmly.

"You're not Leader Zhou, how can we not know you?"

The seventh aunt laughed along, and it could be seen that they respected Zhou Jimin from the bottom of their hearts.

After a few words of greeting, the seventh aunt led them in front, and Zhou Jimin and they followed to the village.

The leaders of Beijiang County and other leaders all followed with a confused face.

When they were on the ferry just now, they heard Zhou Jimin say that this place was the village he had donated.

Although the leaders didn't know Zhou Jimin's intention for coming here, they still came along.

Not long after walking, everyone saw the smoke curling from the cooking, the sound of children playing, and houses, cattle and sheep.

It's very lively!

On the threshing floor, there are many people harvesting rice, and there are also children who are cooking on the fire, playing football, and playing with water.

The planning of the stone village is quite complete, and the threshing floor is next to the creek, which can also be said to be close to the river.

Next to the threshing floor is the football field, a lush meadow.

The campus is not here, but away from the woods by the river, which is at the foot of the mountain.

"So many children?"

The leaders of Beijiang County were extremely surprised and exclaimed.

Because there are more than a dozen or twenty teenagers and girls playing football, there are dozens of people chasing and fighting on the threshing floor, plus the campus and the creek, I am afraid there are not hundreds of people.

And such a lively scene, even in schools, is rare, not to mention that this is just a village.

"Yes, there should be thousands of people in Stone Village by now.....

Zhou Jimin smiled, not surprised.

When he came to the gate of the campus, the school teachers walked out, and one of the young men in Zhongshan suits was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Jimin.

"Leader Zhou, welcome to you, please come in.... Ah-hyen, go get some tea..."

The young man is Zhou Youheng, one of Zhou Jimin's relatives in the previous life.

"Don't be so polite, don't rush to prepare tea first, take us to visit your stone village first....." Zhou Jimin smiled, and immediately gave Zhou Youheng a brief introduction to these leaders in the province.

After he finished his introduction, Zhou Youheng and the others were stunned.

It was actually the leaders of the province, and the leaders of the city and county seats, all of whom came.

I don't know what happened, so Zhou Youheng suddenly became restrained.

Speaking of which, Zhou Youheng can be regarded as having seen the world, he has been to the Xiangjiang River, and he has also been to the provincial capital.

But the biggest leader he ever came into contact with was only the head of the commune's production.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Jimin didn't persuade anything.

The group wandered around Stone Village, and the leaders of Beijiang County, the city and the province knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

So, when the villagers saw it, they were all surprised.

Zhou Youheng, the principal of the primary school, is accompanied, and Zhou Jimin, the leader, is also half the protagonist of Stone Village, so this group of people is amazing.

Many leaders walked around, although they were a little surprised, but they still didn't understand what Zhou Jimin meant.

The population of Stone Village in front of me has exceeded 1,000 people, and the number of students on the elementary school campus alone is more than 400.

Rows of houses, as neat as the troops.

It's very prosperous, but apart from the fact that it is very prosperous, there are not many people in other places.

Because Stone Village has attracted almost seven or eight people from nearby villages.

More than 10 years ago, Stone Village was only two or three

Ten households, a small village of more than 100 people.

The development of paddy fields, dry land, and mountainous land within a radius of two or three kilometers has also fallen on the side of Stone Village.

Interestingly, the entire production team was split in two.

Stone Village is lonely to the north, because further north is the territory of other counties.

To the south is the main station of the production team, a small plain area with seven or eight villages.

Even so, such a rural unit, in the eyes of many leaders, has nothing prominent.

Adjacent to the tributaries of the Pearl River, it can only be said that the waterway transportation of Stone Village is convenient, but the land transportation is not good.

So, I really don't understand what is attractive about Stone Village.

Zhou Jimin didn't say anything, but took them to see the hydropower plant three kilometers away, hidden deep in the mountains.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hydropower plant in Stone Village, and the electricity and energy of the whole village ........"

When visiting the hydropower plant, Zhou Jimin introduced it lightly.

The amount of electricity generated is not much, but it is not only enough for Stone Village, but there is also a large surplus.

The leaders of Beijiang County exclaimed, it turned out that this is a hydropower plant with an annual output value of 50,000 yuan....

Electricity in this era is very expensive.

Electricity workers only need to count the light bulbs to collect electricity bills, which is also known as the "package lamp system", which is how urban electricity bills were paid in the fifties and sixties.

The most commonly used light bulb is a fifteen-watt light bulb, and only the wealthy are willing to use a 25-watt light bulb

According to the current electricity price, a 15-watt light bulb costs 0.15 yuan per month, and a 25-watt light bulb costs 0.25 yuan per month.

Therefore, just a stone village guards a hydropower plant with an annual output of 50,000 yuan.

Is the economic development model of this stone village worth learning and replicating?

"Here in Bac Giang County, there are many streams with large drops, and we can purchase such small generator sets to supply electricity for several nearby villages........

The leaders of Bac Giang County have already brightened their eyes, and the leaders of the city and province are suddenly thoughtful.

Such an economic development model is a perfect template for the mountainous areas in the northern region of the Pearl River tributary.

Just copy and paste it and you're good to go.

However, the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River are plain areas, so there is no such advantage at all.

It's just that now is not the time to talk about this, and the leaders of the province have to suppress their curiosity and listen carefully to Zhou Jimin's introduction.

From a stone village, there are actually a lot to see.

It's just that these leaders in front of him have average comprehension ability, and they don't understand his good intentions at all.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin had no choice but to confess.

"You all know about Oasis City, right?"

The leaders nodded hurriedly, and then listened to him continue:

"Oasis New City is developing rapidly, and there are many industries that can be transferred.........

Processing plants, production plants, etc., these can actually be transferred, in addition, the light industry manufacturing industry is the artifact of the development of the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River.

"Also, do you know about the paper mill on Hong Kong Island?"

When this was mentioned, the provincial leaders suddenly became not sleepy, and hurriedly asked.

Paper mills are polluting and have average benefits, but for the plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River, they are also the pillars of industry to increase GDP.

So, Zhou Jimin mentioned the economic benefits behind the paper mill.

Tesco and Costco, two supermarket chains in Europe and the United States, have spread to North and South America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Oceania, and demand has surged.

Not to mention, bald eagles in North America alone use at least 100 rolls of toilet paper per person every year.

Based on the calculation of five cents for a roll of toilet paper, 100 rolls is fifty dollars.

And the entire bald eagle has a population of 2.10 million, in other words, the bald eagle consumes every year

$10.5 billion in toilet paper.

In other words, the tissue industry alone is a $10 billion industry.

Converted into renminbi, according to the ratio of one dollar to 1.73 yuan, this is a market of 18 billion yuan.

Even if it only occupies 30% of the market, or 10%, it is very bullish.

This is just toilet paper, not counting the consumption of other papers.

In addition to this, there is consumption in other regions such as Europe.

So paper mills can also make a big difference.

The mainland, a treasure land, is about to usher in an economic take-off.

In an era when both labor and resources were extremely cheap, Zhou Jimin certainly hoped to move these factories to the mainland.

Of course, pollution must not be transferred in, or in other words, it should be minimized to the entry of polluting companies.

Even if you want to come in, you must abide by the standards of environmental protection, just like the stone yard and cement factory that Zhou Jimin is about to set up in Bac Giang County, which must be a non-polluting enterprise.

Otherwise, economic development at the cost of destroying the environment will definitely suffer a tragic backlash in the future.

Moreover, with such a benchmark as Oasis New Town, there is no need to do so in the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River.

The visit to Stone Village did not end quickly.

Everyone stayed in Stone Village for one night, and the next day they briefly visited the fishing and fish farming economy of Stone Village, and then left with a full load.

A small stone village did not put much effort into Zhou Jimin.

However, its model and prosperity have played a role in the empowerment of leaders such as Beijiang County.

watched Zhou Jimin step on the diesel steamer and leave along the tributaries of the Pearl River.

The reason why Zhou Jimin is so painstaking, in fact, still hopes that the local government will not be short-sighted and stare at the project funds of the Hope School.

He hoped that local governments could find a path of economic development through their own efforts.

With such a template, the local government should no longer think of any way to stare at the project payment, but bury its head in hard work to make achievements, right?

After leaving Beijiang County, Zhou Jimin went to other places.

In the past few years, he has sponsored many poor and backward villages.

It's also time to see how they're evolving.
