Chapter 141: Collaboration between Cadre Schools and Local Governments
Qiao Panshi's expression went out of control for a moment, and He Zeshan saw it.
Secretary He was laughing like crazy, praising Xie Yun for his brilliant idea. He had originally thought that the leadership team could just visit the cadre school leaders, but Xie Yun said that was still a little short of the mark.
The atmosphere must be set.
She suggested bringing the poorest of the poor and lower-middle peasants to the scene so that the cadre school leaders could see the current situation in Qushui County, which urgently needed development and improvement.
Not a single word says poverty, but everywhere says poverty.
These days, we cannot say that we are poor or that life is difficult. If we do, we are speaking ill of the new society.
So, you can watch it for yourselves, and no one will say anything when you watch it.
He didn't want to do this at first. Since they were so poor, didn't that mean he wasn't a good leader?
But Xie Yun asked him, "Which is more important, face or benefits? If you give up a little face and get huge benefits, which one is worth it?"
He thought about it and decided that affordability was more important.
He may lose face temporarily, but gain benefits in the long run. As long as Qushui County develops, will he still worry about not having political capital?
So he adopted Xie Yun's suggestion.
These elderly people were picked up by a tractor, which drove slowly, so they weren't shaken much. Water was provided for them along the way, and they rested several times. Once they were in the shade, they were helped down to stretch their legs. At this point, the elderly seemed to be in good spirits.
Not to mention Commander Qiao, even he would not dare to take the health of these elderly people lightly.
He Zeshan's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, but his words were as unreasonable as a bandit's.
He didn't even have the attitude of asking for help. All he asked was to ask the cadre school to support local construction, support the research work of poor and lower-middle peasants, and cultivate talents for the local area. Although the farm was not under the jurisdiction of Qushui County, it was within the territory of Qushui County after all. We were all a loving family and should help each other.
As for farm labor, the students can also provide support. Everyone can take time out every day to help with the work. If they are too busy, they can also mobilize other members to help. The prerequisite is that the people in the cadre school must help the local area train talents.
The words were spoken with confidence and neither humble nor arrogant. Although they sounded irritating, Qiao Panshi gradually understood them.
It's true that I want the cadre school to help train talent, and it's also true that I want to help the people there. It's a mutually beneficial thing. But saying it directly wouldn't work. Using Secretary He's method to express it is the most appropriate.
Although he was responsible for supervising the labor reform of these people, he also knew that these people were not good at labor.
Qiao Panshi felt sorry for cursing Secretary He in his heart before, and the smile on his face became particularly sincere.
He even had no objection to He Zeshan wanting to use the cadre school buildings as classrooms.
Originally, some cadre schools did not have enough housing, so they had to cooperate with local authorities and borrow houses from local authorities for cadre school members to live in. There was no reason why your cadre school would not lend houses when the local authorities needed them, right?
However, he said: "I need to inform everyone about this matter first and then make a decision after discussion."
As soon as He Zeshan saw his attitude, he knew that this wave was stable.
He smiled and said, "As you should. We're sorry to bother you with coming here today. On behalf of the vast majority of poor and lower-middle peasants in Qushui County, I want to express my gratitude to you first. I look forward to hearing your good news."
"You're welcome. I'll do my best."
Everyone came happily and left happily.

The sudden arrival of such a group of people at the cadre school made the transferred cadres and scholars scratch their heads in curiosity.
Despite their high status, they are inherently curious, especially in the current situation and environment. It is beneficial to have more information.
After much deliberation, they decided to send two representatives to gather some intelligence.
However, before they could nominate a candidate, Qiao Panshi sent someone to notify all the cadres in each company to attend a meeting, as he had something to discuss with everyone.
The cadre school was organized like a military unit, with a total of four companies, each with more than 70 people. The entire cadre school had more than 300 people, including talents from all fields, from young people in their twenties to old revolutionaries in their sixties and seventies.
The company cadres gathered together and listened to Qiao Panshi describe the demands made on them by Qushui County. He said, "We are here for reform and need to integrate with the poor and lower-middle peasants. Since they have made this request, I personally think we should agree. This is also a way to integrate workers and peasants. What do you think?"
Is there any need to think about this?
Of course I agree!
Even if it is half teaching and half farming, they will fully support it!
Qiao Panshi said, "Go back and discuss this with the company and tell me your decision later. You've seen the people who came here today. They are all poor peasants for eight generations and households receiving the five guarantees."
Go back and talk to everyone. We won't leave here. We'll work and teach on the farm. If there aren't enough rooms, we can teach outdoors. We can also have some of us move to the production team to free up more rooms.
I see that Qushui County attaches great importance to the education of poor and lower-middle peasants. Today, Secretary He said that they plan to respond to the Chairman's call and build a medical school to train more barefoot doctors for the poor and lower-middle peasants.
We will also build a teachers' college to train more teachers and a vocational and technical school to train more high-level workers.
They're about to build a fertilizer plant here and need to train a group of excellent construction workers. I've learned about the backgrounds of our cadre school students, and we can help them in these areas.
Taoyuan Commune also has an agricultural research institute specializing in increasing grain yields and researching pesticides and fertilizers. The platform has been established, and we need your help to make it work.
"What should be our attitude towards the requests of the poor and lower-middle peasants? Go back and hold a meeting within your company to discuss this. Give me your answer tonight. Go back."
Everyone came to the meeting with a nervous heart, but left in high spirits.
When the company cadres went back and told everyone about it, everyone agreed with both hands.

The Cadre School and Qushui County reached a series of cooperation.
In order to free up more empty houses, Taoyuan Commune decided to build a nursing home and move all the five-guarantee elderly people in the commune to live in the nursing home. After cleaning, tidying up and repairing the houses in each brigade, they distributed them to the cadre school students to live in.
Many people brought their families with them when they were sent down to the countryside. If they could be given a suitable courtyard to live in, it would be much better than living in the cadre school dormitory.
Not long after, Yu Songlan came to Taoyuan Commune and was assigned to work at Taoyuan Health Center.
He came alone.
He Shuying asked him, "Where are Zhengying and Xinyi? You left them in the capital? Oh! How could you do this? How will they survive in the capital? If you can't bring them with you, then you shouldn't have come."
Yu Songlan smiled and said, "That's not the case, Mom. Listen to me. Zhengying and I divorced a long time ago. There's nothing wrong with Zhengying's family. As long as she divorces me, she can go back to work and won't have to clean toilets with me anymore. This is a joint decision we made after discussing it. If Xinyi stays with her, she can go to school and play normally. It's great."
Yu Qiushi asked him, "When did you get divorced?"
"We divorced not long after you and your uncle left. I didn't dare tell your uncle about this because I was afraid you would worry."
He Shuying said, "So what did you and Zhengying say? If the situation changes and we can go back, will you two remarry?"
Yu Songlan smiled and said, "It's impossible to recover. Zhengying has remarried. It's Dr. Lu from our hospital. He's a very nice person and treats Zhengying and Xinyi very well.
Zhengying hadn't originally planned to remarry, but there were a lot of rumors going around. Seeing she wasn't getting married again, they said her divorce was fake and she was trying to avoid punishment. Zhengying had no choice but to marry. But she told me that since she was already married, she had decided to live a good life with Dr. Lu, because otherwise it would be unfair to him. I understand her.
He Shuying covered her face and started crying. What was going on? Her good daughter-in-law was gone just like that.
Yu Ziqin patted her shoulder and comforted her, "At least Zhengying and Xinyi are fine. This is the way the world is. You have to think more positively. It's not wrong for them to have an easier life."
He Shuying cried, "I'm not saying she did anything wrong, I just think this world is too difficult for people."
Her son and daughter-in-law loved each other very much and had two children, but now they were separated!
Yu Songlan's arrival brought bad news, causing the whole family to sigh and feel gloomy. It took them a long time to recover.
However, he did bring good news. His own and his parents' household registration and food supply had all been moved here.
Although Yu Qiushi and He Shuying had been missing for a long time, their bodies hadn't been found, their deaths hadn't been declared, their household registration hadn't been cancelled, and their food supply remained. This time, he had taken the initiative to request a transfer to the lower levels of the countryside, hoping to bring his parents with him, and no one gave him a hard time.
I don't know if I can come back after leaving, so it's understandable that I want to stay with my parents' household registration. Anyway, there is no trace of the person, so it's just an empty household registration.
