If they were to be more frugal and make a contingency plan of just over ten million, the county would provide less money, so the pressure wouldn't be too great. After all, this new rural demonstration village is just an experiment. But Li Xiuyuan is unwilling to do it this way.
It was clear from the eyes of several village officials that they longed for the rendering and were eager for the new Meilin Village that would be built in the future.
But the amount is too large.
Li Xiuyuan lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the conference room, glancing up every now and then at the rendering hanging directly opposite him. After finishing his cigarette, Li Xiuyuan looked at everyone and said, "No changes, this is it. Since we've gone through all this trouble, let's build this Coal Forest Village well. I'll go report to the county first and sign a pledge with them to try and get the plan approved by the county."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianzhong and the others were all beaming with excitement, and applause filled the conference room.
After lunch that day, the people from the planning bureau left, while Li Xiuyuan stayed in Meilin Village to continue holding meetings and assigning tasks.
For the 100 households involved in the demolition, the first thing to do is to define the principles of the demolition. The first issue is compensation, which Li Xiuyuan didn't even mention, so there's no way there will be any compensation.
That's ridiculous. The construction of these 100 houses alone would have been a huge expense. As for compensation, that's absurd. They wouldn't even offer ten yuan per square meter. There's no such thing as compensation.
Building new houses without requiring them to pay is already considered a good welfare policy; they can live in new houses for free.
“Li Zhen, it’s not a big deal if we don’t get compensation for that, but we still need to consider the costs of renting a house and moving during the demolition and reconstruction process.” Zhou Jianzhong still wanted to get something for the village.
Li Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Jianzhong: "The government doesn't care about this. They don't have the money for this part. They've already given us new houses to build for free, and you're still not happy? The government has to pay for more than a year's rent and relocation costs. You should know that this is to build a new home for your Meilin Village, not to build a new home for the leaders."
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan's words were tinged with anger, Zhou Jianzhong and several village officials didn't dare to say anything. They could also see that Li Xiuyuan was under a lot of pressure. He was pushing them to start this project under pressure. Otherwise, if the planning map were slightly modified, Li Xiuyuan's pressure would be much less.
After finishing his tirade, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Here's what we'll do: your village should weigh the options. If things are really difficult, the village can help out by renting someone else's house or having villagers help with the moving. If there are difficulties, try to overcome them. If all goes well, you can move in by the second half of next year, which is about a year..."
Li Xiuyuan had already said so much, what else could Zhou Jianzhong say?
"According to the planning map, you can go and talk to the 100 households involved in the demolition now. The conditions are as follows. As for whose farmland will be occupied by the road construction, I don't see much in the design map. Doesn't the village have reclaimed land? We can exchange it. Compensation is out of the question. I just want to say one thing: be quick and talk to everyone first."
Once I've reported to the county, we'll immediately begin signing contracts and relocation... There are also issues involving the repair of dilapidated houses and the renovation of building facades; these will need to be discussed at a village meeting. We're starting a small-scale briefing today..."
Li Xiuyuan was busy until dinner time, and he ate dinner in Meilin Village before returning to the central town.
After returning to the central town, Li Xiuyuan called Zhang Xingdong while eating to ask if there was any news about the provincial leaders' research and inspection team. They went to the neighboring county yesterday, so where did the leaders go today?
Zhang Xingdong said he had news that the research team returned to Xichuan City today and would be leaving tomorrow.
