49. It is recommended to build roads

In the past, May was called Red May because it was a busy season, and in addition to planting rice, the villagers had to harvest wheat and grow corn.

But now, the mountainous areas of Youxian Village have basically been changed to grow fruits, so this year the villagers no longer have to harvest wheat and plant corn, and after the rice planting, everyone has a rare leisure.

"Changfeng, this year, everyone has no wheat harvest, and there are no corn seeds, and they are all a little idle. What do you think you can do for everyone? When Mo Changfeng returned to the village that day, Zhou Caifu asked him with a headache.

Because the villagers have nothing to do, many people fall in love with playing mahjong, and there are people in the village who have opened mahjong parlors at home, or have bought mahjong at home, and people come to play cards every day.

"It's true that everyone's income has increased now, and there is less farm work, and maybe more leisure time. I think there is one thing that the village can organize people to do, and that is to build roads.

There is only one main road in our village that is four meters and five wide, and the others are only three meters and five wide.

But when everyone dividends in the second half of this year, plus the income from fruits, the annual income of many families will exceed 500,000, and I am afraid that there will be more people buying cars.

In addition, the seed production base of our village, when the rice is ripe, the transport vehicles of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences will often come over, and the road is too narrow for future development.

Murakami can discuss that the main task of this year is to repair the road, one is to expand the existing road into a five-meter-wide road, and even two large cars can make a mistake.

The second is to build some machine farming roads into cement roads, which are at least four meters and five wide, and the villagers have to contribute labor in addition to raising some money from each household, so that everyone has something to do, and strive to repair the roads before the rice harvest in August. Mo Changfeng came up with an idea.

"That's a good idea. I will immediately convene a meeting of village cadres to discuss it. Zhou Caifu nodded.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this sentence has been popular for more than 20 years, and it is still outdated, although the county also has a policy of building roads, but the little money allocated is too little.

"Dad, you can discuss with Murakami to make some long-term planning and short-term planning, the long-term planning includes the cement road to every household, and the short-term plan to each community and every larger yard.

So when you make money, first follow the short-term plan, wait until everyone sees the benefits of building the road, and then put forward the long-term plan, and in addition to the head of the money, I will donate another 200,000 yuan to build the road, and other villagers can also express their hearts, all voluntary.

If the investment is too much to use up the roads, you can install street lights on both sides of the village, or build infrastructure such as centralized garbage collection points. Mo Changfeng said again.

This year, the family's cherries are expected to earn more than two million yuan, and the income from other fruits will also be nearly one million yuan, plus the income from the rice side, the Mo family's annual income should be more than three million yuan.

With such a high income, it is naturally a role model for the village, and now it is a practice to give back to the village by donating 200,000 yuan to repair roads, and maybe it can also drive the villagers to donate some money.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Caifu convened a meeting of village cadres: "During this time, you may have noticed that the villagers are relatively idle this year. ”

"Yes, this year, I don't have to harvest wheat, I don't have to plant corn, and I don't have any farm work, so I just manage the orchard, and it's really not much."

"I see a lot of people going to play cards every day, and some people are gambling bigger, so it's not a good thing to go on like this."

"That's right, if you don't work for a long time, playing cards can make people lazy, and it's easy to cause trouble, so you have to find a way to cure it."

"I have an idea, how about organizing everyone to build roads?" Zhou Caifu waited until the village cadres had expressed some views before speaking.

"Zhou Zhishu, this is good, the road in the village is indeed too narrow, and the two cars can barely stagger each other, if a big truck and a small car can't be staggered."

"It's true, after the road is repaired, the fruits of our village can be transported in the future, which is a good thing."

"Now that everyone's income has increased, I heard that many young people have signed up to learn to drive, and there will definitely be more families to buy cars in the future, and it will be more convenient to repair the road."

"The environment in our village is getting better and better, and there are more fruits grown, so maybe we can develop rural tourism in the future, but the road must be repaired."

After hearing this, the village cadres all agreed, after all, the conditions in the village are better and the income is higher, but the roads are still relatively backward.

"I have a long-term plan and a near-term plan." Zhou Caifu told Mo Changfeng what he told him, and said in his own words, "As long as our village cadres know about this long-term plan, we don't need to say it first, and we will complete the short-term plan this year."

However, it can't be one-size-fits-all in the village, everyone can go down and mobilize the villagers, listen to everyone's opinions first, and then discuss the matter of pooling money. ”

"It's still Zhou Zhishu who thinks far and thoughtfully, and we will go down to implement it immediately."

The village cadres took the presidents of various societies to visit some villagers' homes, and sure enough, they found that many villagers had plans to buy cars at the end of the year or next year.

The next day, Murakami convened an enlarged meeting, invited the presidents of each company and some representatives of the villagers, and after analyzing the road construction, he talked about raising money.

"According to our calculations, to complete this year's road construction task, expand the existing cement road to five meters wide, and build the machine road leading to each community and some large yards, it will need 1.8 million yuan.

There are 356 people in our village, and we are going to charge 5,000 yuan per person, including children born before today.

In addition, if the family income is higher, you can also donate a little more money, here I want to say that Changfeng has promised to donate 200,000 yuan to build roads, and our family will also donate 50,000 yuan. ”

Zhou Caifu finally arranged the task and said that this charge of 5,000 yuan per person is also the result of discussions between the village cadres and the presidents, although it is said that a family may pay 20,000 or 30,000 or even 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, but for the villagers, it is not a big problem.

Because of the sale of fruits this year, almost every household can have an income of more than 200,000 yuan, plus the dividends of the rice field in the second half of the year, the annual income of most families can exceed 500,000 yuan, and a few families can reach more than 800,000 yuan.

"My family will donate an extra 10,000 yuan."

"I also donate 10,000."

Soon, the village cadres took the lead in donating money, and everyone's enthusiasm was very high, and some presidents immediately expressed their willingness to donate money, some 10,000, some 5,000, in short, they were doing their part.
