Sitting down at the village brigade headquarters in Meilin Village, Xiuyuan looked at everyone and asked, "What do the villagers think of the new rural construction project now?"
Zhou Jianzhong sat directly opposite Xiuyuan and stammered in front of him.
Xiuyuan remained expressionless and said, "Don't hesitate, just say what you have to say. We came here this time to understand the actual situation."
Zhou Jianzhong finally nodded. "Mayor, to be honest, people aren't too enthusiastic about the new rural construction project. After the... the incident with the coal mine, everyone feels it would be better not to build the new rural area and just reopen the coal mine in the village..."
Before Zhou Jianzhong could finish his words, Zhou Yi, who was sitting next to Xiuyuan, couldn't help but speak up: "Deputy Director Zhou, what are you talking about? What do you mean by not building it? The county gave you subsidies to build your Meilin Village, but you turned your back on it and still don't want to build it. You really don't know what's wrong..."
When Zhou Yi said this, everyone in Meilin Village looked embarrassed. Then, Xiuyuan waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Yi: "Alright, what are you talking about? Director Zhou was talking about the situation, not his attitude."
After Xiuyuan spoke, the expressions of the people in Meilin Village relaxed a little. However, Xiuyuan scolded Zhou Yi on the surface, but he still affirmed him in his heart. When you are with the leader, you have to say some things that the leader is not convenient to say.
For example, now, as a mayor, Xiuyuan has no magnanimity at the beginning. He said he would listen to practical opinions, but as soon as people spoke, he got angry. How do people see this?
Can't afford it? Don't you want to hear the actual situation?
But we can't stop it either, because this speech is too dangerous. If we don't build the new countryside, what will happen to the careers of County Mayor Yun and Deputy Town Mayor Yun? They boasted loudly at the provincial meeting, but in the end it was a dud.
So at this time, we need someone like Zhou Yi to stop it and make our attitude clear immediately. This is not acceptable.
The person who follows the leader often seems to be not smart enough, has a hot temper, is impatient, and is annoying, but is often the one who can best understand the leader's intentions.
Xiuyuan scolded Zhou Yi first, then changed the subject and said, "But what Zhou Yi said does have some truth to it. There are three reasons. First, it's impossible to reopen the Jinxin Coal Mine. Not to mention the environmental issues, the coal resources of the Jinxin Coal Mine itself are also running out. Now the county has issued an order to shut it down. Whether there is a new rural development project or not, it will never reopen."
"First, the construction of a new countryside is an irresistible trend. Last January, the higher authorities officially issued a document stating that all regions of the country must intensify rural revitalization efforts. Your Meilin Village is a new rural demonstration village. After your construction, the entire county will initiate new rural construction and gradually carry out renovations..."
"Third, the construction of the New Rural Demonstration Village is a major event for Meilin Village. You who live here know the situation of Meilin Village better than I do. What is plaguing the development of Meilin Village is not only poverty, but also environmental pollution. The land is polluted, and the water is polluted. Our Meilin Village used to be Meilin Village, named after a field of elm plum trees.
The mountains were once covered in elm and plum trees, with picturesque scenery and curling smoke from cooking fires. But what does Meilin Village look like now? Dust and coal dust fill the air, black water and sewage flow everywhere, and the fields are severely polluted. If the elderly and children in the village continue to live in such an environment, they will become sick in the future.
Now, in the new rural construction, the county pays for it, and everyone contributes. We must work together to restore the ecological environment. While restoring the ecological environment, we will also help everyone increase their income and production, and embark on the path of happiness and prosperity. Do you understand?
Xiuyuan's words were concise, his logic was clear, his reasons were sufficient, and he explained the facts clearly, which completely dispelled the glimmer of hope in the hearts of Director Zhou and other members of the village party committee and village committee.
