I Led the Entire Village out of Poverty and to Prosperity

Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.

After a continuous ...

Chapter 252: Atypical Good Wife

With Huo Qianli's many years of experience, when doing rural work, especially when it comes to economic industries, how could he not put stability first?

Things have reached a dead end at this point.

The previous deadlock over funding and control has not yet been resolved, and now a new problem has arisen.

But Huo Qianli's personality is such that he is stubborn and doesn't believe in evil.

He held his head up and pondered, is there a way to be both stable and promising? Can the villagers wait for this solution?

He drew two circles on the paper and wrote the words "Industrial Park" in one of the circles, which represents stability and that everything is under control.

Then he picked up the pen, thought for a while, and wrote two words in another circle: increase income.

Only by increasing income can we satisfy the patience of villagers and make long-term plans;

Only by increasing income can Niujiao Village move away from the industrial park as a single source of income.

Then he drew three lines from the circle of increased income, pointing to three small circles, and filled them with grapefruit, tangerine, and labor respectively.

These are also the only three directions he could think of where Niujiao Village could exert its strength.

He quickly crossed out the laborers. If all the laborers left, the village would be deserted, just like many other villages he had seen recently. After it became hollowed out, it would be difficult to revive it.

But soon he picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the side: working at the base, local labor.

If this planting base can be established, it will definitely require a group of skilled workers. Just like in Hushan Village in the past, there were indeed many opportunities to work. Although the money earned was not much, it was definitely better than simply farming now.

At the same time, if the new base of the industrial park is started, a large number of construction projects and subsequent operations and maintenance will also provide a considerable number of jobs.

Thinking of these two points, he felt a little more excited. If these two points can be done well, and combined with a certain degree of financial support, Niujiao Village may be able to survive the three to five years before the fruit trees bear fruit.

He then shifted his gaze to two other small circles, with the words pomelo and tangerine written inside. These were the basis of his industrial design for Niujiao Village, with pomelo being particularly important.

So he raised his hand and circled the pomelo again, thinking: He has privately given this pomelo to many leaders and relatives, and those who have eaten or seen it basically think it is good, and some even praise it highly. Not to mention how much of it is out of personal favors, it also shows that the quality of the pomelo itself is really good. Can this pomelo be used as the core and matched with other fruits and vegetables?

Dongjiang County now has the Dongjiang Pomelo brand. Can we take advantage of it? If we can make a name for ourselves, wouldn’t the future be bright?

But the question is, how to do it?

Do we want to replicate the path that Salvia miltiorrhiza took in the past? However, Salvia miltiorrhiza has a strong planting base and a broad foundation, and it is also very competitive in China, supported by scientific research data.

It may not be easy to promote this pomelo, not to mention that it is difficult for the town and the county to spare the same energy as before to slowly build a brand.

His mind moved again, and he broke out of his usual thinking, wondering what if he didn't just go the fruit route?

Then he shook his head again. According to the idea of the whole town working together to build a new base, specific arrangements have been made for raising pigs, raising poultry, growing vegetables, and growing folk items, and there are no extra options for Niujiao Village.

What’s more, those vegetable growers still have the big problems raised by Secretary Guo to solve!

Thinking of this, Huo Qianli couldn't help but rub his brows which were furrowed with anxiety.

Immediately he shook his head, dispelled those useless emotions again, and concentrated on thinking.

It was a dark night with a chilly air. Huo Qianli rubbed his icy hands together, blew on them a few times, and moved his knuckles a few times.

He had been thinking for a long time but still couldn't get to the point. He was tough but not stupid. He knew that the best way at this time was to change his brain and readjust his thoughts. He got up and slowly made a pot of hot tea to warm his body.

As soon as I sat back in my seat, the phone on the corner of the table suddenly rang.

Seeing that the caller was Jiang Qingyue, he slid open his phone with a smile and raised it to his ear, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Secretary Huo hasn't slept yet so late. Is he still so hands-on?"

Huo Qianli sighed, "The power of the masses is infinite, but the progress of this matter has also been greatly accelerated! We still have to work hard and get tired!"

"Okay." Jiang Qingyue has always been a sensible and measured person, so she didn't try to persuade him any further. "Then remember to go to bed early."

Huo Qianli hummed, then smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang called so late just to give you this instruction?"

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I have something important to do." Jiang Qingyue smiled sheepishly, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is Friday. Usually, if Huo Qianli goes back to Jincheng, he will set off after get off work on Friday afternoon.

Huo Qianli thought for a moment and asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"

"No, I just thought that if you come back, you can bring me some pork that is not fed with feed and vegetables that are not sprayed with pesticides. Buy more and I will put them in the refrigerator for my little one to eat."

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Not really? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Qingyue said solemnly, "I just saw a news report a few days ago. It said that children who eat meat with hormones often have early puberty. Today, a colleague in the office said that her friend's child started menstruating at the age of eight, and the parents were so worried that they couldn't sleep."
