Several county leaders looked at each other, and the meeting room, which had just quieted down, started discussing again.
"Did I hear correctly? They want to relocate all the people from the village!"
"The educated youth at least received a year's subsidy, but the relocated households received nothing."
"At least the educated youth were young and could slowly train themselves to do farm work. The relocated households were all families, mixed with elderly and children. It's clearly not cost-effective!"
Moreover, some of the educated youth whose families sent them money and tickets could not do much work every day and could not get much food from the village.
County Magistrate Pan confirmed, "Are you serious? Do the other two village leaders agree?"
The main reason he asked this was because the people who were inserted into the village would have the greatest impact. As far as the higher-ups were concerned, the collective land was still the same, and the public grain tax had to be paid in full.
The decision made by the village leaders can represent the entire village.
Zhao Qianjin and Guo Min were also surprised, but they calmed down the fastest. Why?
Because these days, several teachers in the village school have changed everyone's views.
You look down on people who are sent down to the countryside, but can you do what others do?
Teacher Zhou not only taught them mathematics, but also taught them the knowledge of load-bearing. It was very useful for building things in the village.
Teacher Zheng not only taught them Chinese, but also taught them legal knowledge. The atmosphere in the village has become much more positive.
Another thing is that past experience tells them that Yu Weimin is smart, and supporting Yu Weimin will make things better and better!
Guo Min said: "I agree!"
Zhao Qianjin said, "We unanimously agree. But, leader, our brigade is willing to accept the new residents, but we don't have housing. We need everyone to support us with some adobe, lumber, or something."
They accepted all the relocated households, and the remaining brigades only accepted a few educated youth, which seemed less difficult to accept.
It was simple: each household only had to contribute two or three adobe bricks, and each production team would also provide a few pieces of wood.
All the production brigades under the five communes expressed their agreement.
County Magistrate Pan was relieved: "Village Chief Yu is a good role model. Ma Weirong, your commune's grassroots cadres are responsible!"
Ma Weirong and the others were actually not aware of this, but that did not prevent them from achieving each other's success.
"Village Chief Yu is truly outstanding and dedicated. We should all learn from him."
County Magistrate Pan: "Okay! Let's take a few minutes to use the restroom. We'll come back later to finalize the quota for educated youth in each brigade."
Several county leaders discussed quietly, "We should give them a reward for actively supporting the policy and accepting so many people at once."
"Why not give them this year's advanced titles? The other production teams will also be convinced."
If you are not convinced, then take the relocated households back and they will also be awarded!
Yu Weimin took this opportunity to get a feel for the situation. The remaining production teams didn't have many relocated households, and most of them were being subsidized by the teams.
He then discussed with Zhao Qianjin and Guo Min: "How about we build a few more rows of houses and try to recruit the existing relocated households from other production teams?"
Zhao Qianjin's voice trembled a little as he spoke: "Wei Min, there must be at least a hundred people here, right?"
Yu Weimin explained: "Productivity comes from having a large number of people, and at least half of them must be talented!"
"For example, you see how hard it is to buy bricks for building my house this time. Maybe someone here knows how to make them. Maybe our village can also build a collective brick factory?"
Zhao Qianjin's voice was no longer trembling, but was filled with excitement.
The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. He made up his mind and said, "That's fine! There's a lot of rocks in that wasteland near you. We can use it to build a house. It can easily accommodate four or five hundred people!"
As a result, the second half of the meeting caused another sensation.
"Are you really willing to accept it?"
"Of course it's true. As long as the county is willing to help transfer these people's relationships, we will accept them unconditionally."
The village heads of each production brigade looked eagerly at the county leaders: "County Head Pan, Secretary Zhou, what do you think?"
"As long as both of you agree, we can help you transfer connections within our county."
It's all in their county, it just adds some workload.
County Magistrate Pan continued, "Xiangyang Commune will accept these people to build houses, and the county will also provide some manpower and material support."
"Also, this year's Advanced Crew Award will be given to the First Production Team of Xiangyang Commune. Do you all have any objections?"
It solved such a big problem for them, so what objections could there be? Everyone passed it unanimously.
From that day on, the first production team began to build houses on a large scale.
All the labor force in the village, plus the people sent by the county, built five rows of houses within a month.
The houses were not large, with adobe walls and thatched roofs, but there were many of them, eighty in total.
All the relocated households in the county gradually gathered together.
On Sunday, Qin Zhiya came to the door of the police station lobby with money.
She and Xi Feng agreed to meet here first and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative together.
The woman who answered the call happened to see her while she was using the restroom and recognized her immediately. She was truly unforgettable.
I couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Qin Zhiya? Why are you here? Are you going to sue our director again?"
When she got home that day, she told this story to her family, and they laughed so hard that they fell over.
Qin Zhiya smiled awkwardly: "Haha, how could that be? Big sister, you know the situation that day. I had no choice."
It was indeed a last resort, but it was also unprecedented. The eldest sister said, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to apologize to your director. I'd like to treat you to a meal!"
The eldest sister smiled and nodded: "That's quite sincere. I'll help you call the person out!"
Before Qin Zhiya could even utter "No need", the older woman who answered the call had already turned around excitedly to call for help.
"Xi Suo, there's a girl outside who wants to have dinner with you!"
Lu Liang’s loud voice was heard first.
"Girl! Where did this girl come from? Boss, how long have you been here and you already have a partner? I've been working for a year and I'm still single!"
Is it because he's not as good-looking as the boss? But he's also quite energetic, so why doesn't any girl want to have dinner with him?
Half the people in the office heard his shout.
The uncle guarding the gate thought silently that this girl had just come to him to ask about the director a while ago, and she had become the director's object so quickly.
The little girl is really resourceful!
"Target" Qin Zhiya listened to all of this, and even the embarrassment on her face disappeared. She didn't know what expression to make.
Xi Feng took off his uniform jacket, changed into casual clothes, stood up with his bulging bag, and gave Lu Liang a slap on the face.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm leaving get off work now. Please file the remaining documents."
"Hey, Boss, I promise to complete the task, so you can go on your date in peace!"
Xi Feng...
Forget it, I won’t explain anymore. The more I explain, the more confusing it becomes!
The two men met each other, and walked out of the police station and towards the state-owned hotel one after the other, without speaking a word all the way.
The uncle guarding the gate looked at the two people's backs and thought, they are quite a match.
