Chapter 227 I Want It All



Zhuyang Village is located next to Niujiao Village.

In the past, when the People's Canal released water, Zhuyang Village was located downstream of Niujiao Village. At that time, there were many quarrels and even fights over these messy things.

But in the past decade, as more and more people have gone out to work and fewer and fewer people have been farming, the seemingly irreconcilable conflicts between the two villages have quietly disappeared and their relations have even improved.

Huang Youquan, the village chief of Niujiao Village, also came to Zhuyang Village early this morning and waited at the gate of Zhuyang Village Committee with Gao Qiang, the village chief of Zhuyang Village, and Zhang Yongfa, the village chief of Yaowang Village.

Before nine o'clock, two cars drove up to them and Huo Qianli and others got out.

Just like yesterday, the same crew remains.

In fact, Cao Qingfeng and Gao Yuanming both had more important things to do, but thinking that by following Huo Qianli on this trip, they would have a deeper understanding of the situation, which would make things much easier later, they put their own things aside for the time being.

What’s more, there was also the influence of last night’s Shuzhou News Broadcast.

Appearing on the Shuzhou News Broadcast was definitely a happy thing for the nearly 3,000 township-level officials in Shuzhou Province, but there was no special excitement or pride on Huo Qianli's face. He still greeted everyone calmly and gently, and then, under the leadership of Gao Qiang, the village chief of Zhuyang Village, he started a new round of inspections.

The inspection process was similar to that in Niujiao Village yesterday. Without listening to reports or looking at materials, we went directly to the fields, front yards and back kitchens to chat with the villagers and understand the real situation of the village.

For lunch, we can only eat in Zhuyang Village.

Huo Qianli took the lead, and the other town leaders each gave 30 yuan for food expenses.

Although it seems troublesome and old-fashioned, when you think about it carefully, it is really open and reassuring.

At the dinner table, Gao Qiang, the head of Zhuyang Village, glanced at the faces of Huo Qianli and others, and said awkwardly: "Dear leaders, the conditions in our Zhuyang Village are indeed a bit poor."

Huo Qianli swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's good. Your bamboo weaving craft is quite unique."

He smiled at everyone and said, "When I was in Hushan Village, there was an old bamboo craftsman in the village. I have seen his craftsmanship and it is really good!"

"Secretary Huo, needless to say, that is definitely a skill I learned in our Zhuyang Village!"

Gao Qiang said proudly: "In the early years, all the bamboo craftsmen in the surrounding area were apprentices in our Zhuyang Village. At that time, our village was very lively!"

Huang Youquan, the head of Niujiao Village, also echoed, "Yes, Zhuyang Village was indeed rich at that time. Some old bamboo craftsmen had three or four apprentices and lived a prosperous life!"

Zhang Yongfa, the head of Yaowang Village, pointed outside the yard and said, "Secretary Huo, leaders, those very old bungalows or large mud houses you just saw were built by the old bamboo craftsmen. They were able to afford to build these houses in the past two years. Think about it."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, but Gao Qiang's smug smile quickly faded. "Machine construction has become popular these days. This craft is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After years of learning, the things I make can't even be sold at a high price. It's useless!"

Huo Qianli Kuaizi paused and smiled, "There will be a way."

"That's right, don't worry!" Xiao Yao smiled and comforted: "Although your village is indeed not very good now, from another perspective, there is still a lot of room for improvement!"

Gao Qiang looked at Xiao Yao with resentment and said, "Is this what you call comforting people?"

After dinner, everyone went to Yaowang Village without delay.

After spending an equally hard afternoon in Yaowang Village, everyone stood on a small hill in Yaowang Village and looked at the village in front of them.

A cement road runs through the middle of the village, which is the main road to Dongjiang County.

Therefore, Yaowang Village did not initially form a trend of gathering with the village committee as the core like Niujiao Village and Zhuyang Village. Most of the new houses in their village were rebuilt in the original places facing the road and distributed in strips along both sides of the road.

Yaowang Village is called this name because there is a Yaowang Temple here. At the same time, many barefoot doctors were born under the subtle influence of the times.

However, like the bamboo craftsmen in Zhuyang Village, they have been abandoned by the times and only exist in the memories of some elderly people.

Cao Qingfeng and others stood quietly with Huo Qianli, silently thinking about the same question:

Where is the way out for these villages?

What should I do next?

This is the purpose of the three village chiefs mustering up the courage to find Huo Qianli. In fact, it is also something they must think about as leaders of Qianfu Town.

Huo Qianli likes to stand on the hillside to think about things. Standing high, he can see far, and the wind on the hillside can also make people more clear-headed.

Qiu Feng flipped through the scenes he had seen in the past day and a half in his mind. He turned his head and looked at everyone, "What do you think? Let's talk about it?"

Cao Qingfeng spoke directly: "Secretary Huo, in my humble opinion, there are only two ways. One is to increase the integration of villages and industrial parks, deeply bind them to the route of Chinese medicinal materials planting, increase support for land transfer, scattered employment, employment in industrial parks and other fields, and at the same time improve infrastructure construction to improve residents' happiness index from aspects such as transportation and people's livelihood."

"The second is to take their own distinctive development paths. Zhuyang Village will rely on bamboo weaving, and Niujiao Village will develop fruit tree planting. They will follow the path that Secretary Huo designed for Hushan Village, taking distinctive features as the foundation and engaging in contract farming. It is certainly unrealistic to reach the level of Hushan Village, but it is still possible to significantly improve the economy and people's livelihood. After all, there is a mature path designed by Secretary Huo for reference."
