Panjiang County is a county-level administrative region with poor economic development in the Nangang area.

Location is definitely the first factor - just like people, personal worth is generally tied to location.

From the topographic map, Fanjiang County is that poor and harsh hill, while most of the other cities and counties are plains and relatively flat mountains. And because it is adjacent to neighboring provinces, it is greatly affected by poor neighboring provinces. People there are always two beats slower than elsewhere. When people in other places are thinking about making a fortune by doing a small business, they are still guarding one acre and three points of land. When others turned back to modern agriculture and forestry, they only entered the small-scale manufacturing industry, which had little opportunity, and within a few years they caught up with the government's increased requirements for the manufacturing industry, and they went bankrupt one after another.

All in all, the development of Panjiang County in all aspects is two beats slower than that of other cities and counties. At present, the development focus of the municipal government is on this relatively barren land.

Li Mai felt that he would definitely find people in urgent need here.

He contacted a department head in the Panjiang county government and inquired about some information from there. So, Li Mai rushed directly to Shanli Village, the poorest village in Fanjiang County.

The name of the village in the mountains is extremely vivid, it is in the mountains, and in today's traffic is so developed, there is only one road leading to the village, and the car needs to look left and right to slowly pass the road, which is twisted and turned, and it has only been repaired in recent years.

It's not that the city government doesn't invest enough, it's that the terrain plays a huge role in limiting. Moreover, there are no other villages within a radius of 10 kilometers from Shanli Village, and it is obviously not very urgent to build a road for one village alone. In the end, Shanli Village is a village with more than 100 households and nearly 1,000 people, and this road with a length of more than ten kilometers to the depths of the mountains has been built.

The Gun Regiment Construction Group has an office in Panjiang County, but the group has no business in Panjiang County, and the office only serves as a contact point or a forward station. Maybe the Gun Regiment Construction Group will invest in Panjiang County or something in the future, but basically it is something that Li Mai doesn't care about, and naturally there are people below to do it.

The office sent a car, and the person in charge of the office brought a person to lead the way in front, and the person in charge of the office, who happened to be called Gu Tonggang, knew more about Shanli Village, and could just introduce the situation to Li Mai.

Gu Tonggang is in his thirties, he doesn't know Li Mai, let alone see Li Mai. He only received a phone call and fax from the group's headquarters, asking them to assist the inspection team of the Haoxiaoyu Foundation. However, as soon as Gu Tong looked at Li Mai's land 6200, he knew that Li Mai was not an ordinary person.

"The road into the village is like this, one road goes to the dark, and then you enter the village. ”

The two cars stopped at the entrance of the village, and the group got out of the car and walked towards the village. Gu Tonggang introduced as he walked, "I am a high school student from this village, and I have been with him a few times before, all after the road was opened, before the road was built, let alone outsiders, that is, the people in the village want to go out, and they have to go around the mountains for half a day to get to the main road." Let's put it this way, before the road was built, this was basically another world, and there was basically no contact with the outside world. ”

Smiling, he pointed to the houses in the village, which were mostly made of wood, and said, "Mr. Li, don't you think it's a little incredulous?" Although we are not an extremely developed area, the average living standard of the region is definitely in front of the country. In fact, many people find it incredible that there are such backward villages. ”

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, you see, the houses here, the villagers eat and drink, basically take from the mountains. Of course, that was before the road was built. Now, life is much better than before, but the per capita living standard is still below the average level in our Nangang area, and it is estimated that it is still much lower. This road can't be said to be all good, and there is one bad point that is very obvious. The road was repaired, and there was more communication with the outside world. The young people in the village slowly couldn't stay, so they all went out to work, and came back for the New Year's holidays. Usually, there are some old people, women and children in the village. ”

Li Mai walked slowly, looking as if he had returned to the village in the sixties of the last century, and he was indeed a little surprised in his heart.

The whole village is actually in a large valley, the valley is high in the east and low in the west, in fact, it is a large gentle slope. The whole village appeared on this huge gentle slope. In his opinion, the formation of this natural village is actually very simple. The inhabitants scattered in the mountains slowly gathered towards this more habitable valley over time, and over time, they formed a gathering place and became a village.

"That's the school?"

Suddenly, Li Mai saw a somewhat worn national flag fluttering in the wind at the back of the village, so he pointed over and asked.

Gu Tonggang glanced at it and said, "Oh, yes, the primary school in the village." Alas, most of the people who worked outside the village did not have a family and rarely returned to the village. Those who have become a family and some who love the soil, who have given birth to children, and those who have the ability have taken their children outside to school, and those who stay in the village are all children from some families with a bad environment. ”

"How many are there?" asked Li Mai.

Gu Tonggang thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but the last time I came over, I heard my classmate say that there are more than twenty children." ”

While they were talking, the group turned a corner, and several old people were sitting under the wooden shed in front of them, smoking dry cigarettes and chattering. One of them, a white-bearded old man, saw the stranger and stood up, still holding a cigarette stick in his hand.

"Old village chief!" Gu Tonggang shook his hand and strode forward.

The white-bearded old man looked at it for a moment, and suddenly smiled heartily, "It's Director Gu." ”

Gu Tonggang and his classmates came a few times, and his title of director of the office of a large enterprise like the Gun Regiment Construction Group in Panjiang County had already spread.

"Old village chief, are you okay?" Gu Tonggang seemed to be very familiar with the old village chief, shook hands warmly, greeted several other old people warmly, and took out a cigarette for the smokers to disperse.

This scene made Li Mai and the others a little surprised, these old people, the youngest looked seventy years old, but looking at the spirit, it was much better than the old people of the same age in the city, smoking a dry cigarette. Especially the old village chief, his beard is white, at least eighty, but looking at his every move, his body is very strong, and it is not surprising to hear his voice full of anger.

"Boss, it seems that this is still a long-lived town. Song Jian said in a low voice.

At this time, Gu Tonggang led the old village chief over, and Li Mai hurriedly greeted him......
