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 288: Just for this?

"Don't worry, what happened? Take a breath and talk."

"Gu Laowu's house and Zhan Siwa's house started fighting. More than a dozen people were called out and hoes and pickaxes were picked up. I'm afraid someone will die!"

Huo Qianli rushed out of the office without hesitation, called Jiang Hengyu, and got in the car and rushed to Hushan Village together.

"Call Chief Qin of the police station and immediately organize some people to go to Hushan Village."

"Call Deputy Mayor Xiao and ask him to rush to Hushan Village immediately."

While instructing Jiang Hengyu to contact the relevant personnel, Huo Qianli picked up his mobile phone and planned to call Gu Daqiang, but his finger moved away as soon as it touched the dial button.

Gu Daqiang should have rushed over to deal with the situation by now. He has the ability and is also on the scene. Commanding from a distance will only cause more trouble. Besides, the journey is not far and the outcome will be known in a dozen minutes. There is no need to rush.

Facts also proved that Huo Qianli's judgment was correct.

By the time he and the police from the police station arrived, the situation had basically calmed down.

Both parties involved did suffer some injuries, but fortunately none of them were serious. Except for two people with bleeding foreheads, the rest only had minor skin injuries.

Hushan Village has developed to this point and has such a large industrial park, so it is naturally equipped with things like medical and health stations. Now the injured have been sent to the health station for treatment of their injuries, while the rest of the people were sitting on the ground in dishevel and dusty faces, smoking under Gu Daqiang's cold gaze.

Huo Qianli asked, and the village official who called Huo Qianli began to tell him what had happened.

The cause of the incident made Huo Qianli feel incredible.

Just for a small bamboo forest.

Because of the construction of the parent-child study base, a number of farm homestays need to be built.

In the past, people might have waited and watched, and needed to be mobilized, but now with Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang leading the way, and with the various changes that have taken place over the past six months, everyone is full of confidence and is very active in signing up. Nearly sixty households directly signed up for the fifteen places.

This forced Gu Daqiang and Mr. Xiao Cai to make a promise that when business picks up in the future, these fifteen households will definitely not be able to accommodate them and everyone will have a chance.

He also took them to see the reserved construction land, and everyone calmed down a little.

But in the end, there were still more than 30 households that insisted, and the village selected 15 of them by drawing lots.

When this plan was reported to the town, Huo Qianli also optimized and extended it to suit his personal style:

After the homestays for these fifteen households were built, the houses where they originally lived became vacant.

The residents who originally lived in the buildings can be moved out through transactions and exchanges. The idle buildings can be renovated by the village committee and rented out to the large number of new staff in the future base.

Although it is entirely voluntary, there is room for maneuver, which can activate the housing resources of the entire village and solve the long-standing difficult problems left over from before.

That's going too far.

Gu Laowu and Zhan Siwa are among the fifteen selected villagers, and the courtyards of the homestays that their two families are about to build happen to be next to each other.

As luck would have it, a bamboo forest grew right on the boundary between the two families.

30% to 70%, more on one side and less on the other.

Jiang Hengyu at the side asked in confusion: "What's so good about fighting over bamboo forests? I heard that when the land was concentrated before, a lot of bamboo forests were even cut down and burned, but no one made a fuss about it?"

"Director Jiang, times have changed!" the village cadre sighed and continued.

It turned out that after the parent-child study base was confirmed, the village subscribed to a lot of travel magazines and newspapers, and placed them in the reading room and newspaper racks for everyone to read. The villagers would also consciously watch some travel-related programs on TV.

After one or two months of "learning", everyone knows that good scenery is necessary for good business.

It’s so nice to have a bamboo forest in my own yard!

You can enjoy the scenery, eat bamboo shoots, and make things with bamboo.

Then the one who has more money says, "I'll give you a few hundred dollars and the entire bamboo forest will belong to me."

The family with less money said, how about this, I’ll give you two thousand and the whole bamboo forest will belong to me.

The family with more said that most of this area belonged to him, and so all of it belonged to him. Naturally, the family with less land would not agree, and so a quarrel began.

The quarrel was inexplicable, but both sides were getting more and more angry. First, the two families pushed and shoved each other a few times, and the side that suffered a little bit was not convinced, so it called people, and then both sides started fighting.

It became like this now.

Things developed so quickly that Gu Daqiang didn't have time to react.

Fortunately, the response after learning the news was timely, and Gu Daqiang had enough prestige, so no big mistake was made.

After the village official finished speaking, Gu Daqiang glared at him and said, "This kind of thing can be handled by the village itself, so don't bother Secretary Huo. Secretary Huo is very busy all day, don't you know?"

Huo Qianli knew Gu Daqiang's character and knew that he was really thinking about him, so he waved his hand, patted the village cadre on the shoulder, and said to Gu Daqiang: "Director Gu, he is right, I need to know these things."

He looked at Gu Daqiang with a slightly serious expression, "If everyone thinks this is a small matter and there is no need to report it to the higher-ups, and if they have the final say, then they will gradually form a habit of covering up the matter. If something big does happen, they will also try to hide it. Anyway, the higher-ups won't know about it and won't pursue it."

He shook his head gently. "Now you are the village chief, I naturally trust you, but what if it is someone else? Or I can trust Hushan Village, but what about other villages? Will they do the same? How can the town grasp the actual situation of each village at that time?"
