"That is to say, Lu Ping's family has many acquaintances in Zhongguang Village."

I heard the man explain that Lu Ping's mother had married into three families, and each family had children.

In this way, there are twelve Lu Ping sisters and seven brothers alone.

Even though their surnames are different, they all have a mother, and her mother is over eighty this year and has a pretty strong body.

As long as mom is here, there is home.

When the old lady is alive, she can bring these children together and prevent them from falling apart.

Therefore, Lu Ping and his family live in harmony and have frequent contacts.

And his sisters all have the next generation, and they are married to people in the village. In this way, a large part of the village is related to Lu Ping.

In line with the mentality of not letting the wealth go to others, of course the vote will be for the family members, there is no doubt about this.

Lu Ping was able to become a village committee member before because his family elected him.

In the past, when Du Min was in office, because Du Min was protected by Hao Zhiping, Lu Ping did not dare to compete for the chairman of the village committee even if he wanted to.

Now that Du Min has fallen, he saw an opportunity coming, so he mobilized his whole family and held a family meeting to win enough votes to realize his dream of being the village director.

According to the current situation, Lu Ping is getting closer and closer to his dream, and has almost crossed the threshold with one foot.

"How is he?" Li Yuanlang asked the man in a low voice.

"How should I say..." The man hesitated for a moment and glanced at He Gui secretly.

He Gui glared, "You can say whatever you want and see what I do!"

"Lu Ping is good at everything. It's just good to drink a few sips." He also made a gesture of holding a wine glass.

Obviously his words were carefully considered, and Li Yuanlang directly understood that Lu Ping must be an alcoholic.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Judging from the last time I met Tao Sirui, this young man's first impression was pretty good, which is also in line with Li Yuanlang's philosophy of injecting more young blood into the front-line grassroots.

Moreover, Lu Ping was a member of the village committee during Du Min's time. He at least failed to stop Du Min from doing whatever he wanted, which was in breach of his duties as a village committee member.

He is also a greedy person. If this kind of person is pushed to the position of village director by his family, it will definitely not be good news for the people of Zhongguang Village.

However, this is a free election by the villagers, and he has no right to interfere. Even if there are results he does not want to see, he can only accept them.

"Tao Sirui has one vote." The teller continued to read.

"Lu Ping has one vote."

…

Li Yuanlang looked at the word "正" drawn on the blackboard. The gap between Tao Sirui and Lu Ping was gradually narrowing.

This can be seen as a competition between the Lu Ping family and other villagers, a competition between old and new ideas.

Because everyone's attention was focused on the blackboard, no one had noticed Li Yuanlang and He Gui among the villagers yet.

This election is a margin election. More than half of the people with the right to vote are valid.

For the rest, as long as the votes of these two candidates exceed half of the number of villagers present at the election, they can be elected.

It now appears that neither Tao Sirui nor Lu Ping has reached this number.

Tao Sirui is still five votes short, and Lu Ping is three votes short.

Exciting times are coming.

The teller looked at the fewer and fewer electoral votes in his hand and kept chanting the names of Lu Ping and Tao Sirui.

The word "正" under the two people on the blackboard is exactly the same. No one has more strokes, and the other has less strokes.

The key is that if either of these two people gets one more vote, they can exceed half of the votes and be successfully elected.

What's even more interesting is that the teller only had the last ballot left in his hand.

In other words, this inconspicuous vote can determine today's outcome and who will be the final winner.

The person who was originally counting the votes fluently, whether he was excited or nervous, the hand that spread out the ballot paper started to shake involuntarily.

When he gradually unfolded the ballot paper with his trembling hands, his eyes lit up first, and after taking a deep breath, the villagers below couldn't help but urge him: "Quickly tell me, who has chosen this ballot."

The teller cleared his throat and called out a person's name in a vibrato: "Tao Sirui...one vote!"

Wow!

As his voice fell, several people stood up suddenly on the spot, raised their arms and shouted: "We won!"

Afterwards, many people gathered around Tao Sirui, high-fiving and hugging him in celebration.

For a time, the small conference room was full of people and lively.

&nbs                                                                                                                          

Lu Ping, who lost to Tao Sirui by one vote, lowered his head and walked out of the meeting room first, followed by a group of villagers who were with him.

The originally crowded conference room suddenly seemed quite empty.

Li Yuanlang thought to himself that just by the way Lu Ping left angrily, he could tell that this person was not generous and a person who couldn't afford to lose.

Shan Shuo Tao Sirui was accepting congratulations from everyone when he suddenly saw a few people standing outside the crowd.

He was stunned at first, he knew He Gui, and the man in his thirties next to He Gui looked familiar.

As soon as he patted his head, he immediately remembered that this was the new county magistrate who had dismissed Du Min a few days ago!

Tao Sirui separated the crowd, walked up to Li Yuanlang, and greeted Li Yuanlang and He Gui with a smile: "Hello, county magistrate, hello mayor He, when did you arrive?"

Li Yuanlang also responded with a smile and said: "We have been here a long time ago and were fortunate enough to watch the election process. Party Secretary Tao, congratulations on your narrow victory and being successfully elected as the village director of Zhongguang Village."

Tao Sirui quickly stretched out his hands and held them tightly with Li Yuanlang's hand...

In the village party secretary's office, Tao Sirui poured hot tea for Li Yuanlang and He Gui respectively, and sat across from them and started chatting.

Li Yuanlang mainly asked him about his plans for the overall development of Zhongguang Village after taking office.

Tao Sirui is worthy of being a college student, and his ideas are advanced and insightful.

He is also optimistic about the rise of self-media, and Tao Sirui plans to start from this aspect in the next step.

He has registered two platform accounts. He has previously posted several short videos documenting the cultural landscape of Zhongguang Village. The likes, collections and comments were all good.

Tao Sirui plans to show Zhongguang Village in a live broadcast.

Once a certain number of fans have gathered, they will sell Zhongguang Village’s mountain products.

These mountain products are pure green and pollution-free. I believe there will be a certain market and the prospects should be good.

Li Yuanlang nodded in agreement. He also suggested that Tao Sirui could put some effort into deep processing of mountain products.

In this way, the benefits will be greater.

Tao Sirui looked embarrassed, so He Gui told him not to be reserved and just say whatever you wanted.

"It's mainly a matter of funds." Tao Sirui made up his mind and told the truth. "During Du Min's time, the village's accounts were in chaos and there was already a deficit. The two leaders told the truth that our village's accounts now only have 100 yuan left.

How much money."

No money!

Li Yuanlang deeply felt that for people who want to do something big, lack of money is the biggest stumbling block.

If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move anywhere.

He had already learned this truth.

So, Li Yuanlang said half-jokingly: "It doesn't matter if you are short of money. No, you don't have to worry about Township Chief He, the God of Wealth."

As everyone knows, He Gui also made a joke about Li Yuanlang, "County Magistrate Li, compared to you, I, the God of Wealth, don't have as much magical power as you, the Jade Emperor. The little bit of silver I have is nothing to mention in front of you."

,hehe."

"Why are you so good? This is to hide you and push me to the front." Joking aside, although Li Yuanlang supported Tao Sirui's approach in his heart, he was still very cautious when it came to money issues.

The key is that this gap cannot be opened, policies can be provided, but money must not be agreed casually.

If he gives it to Tao Sirui's family, what do you want other villages to think?

Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.

To put it bluntly, it is better to teach people the methods of learning knowledge than to teach them existing knowledge.

He can give Tao Sirui advice to make him rich, but he cannot give him money to make him a rich man.

Finally, Li Yuanlang suggested to Tao Sirui that he could try it out in his own small workshop and see how it works.

You, Tao Sirui, take the lead in making money. This is the best advertisement.

While talking, Tao Sirui saw that it was already lunch time, so he insisted on keeping Li Yuanlang and the others for a light meal.

Li Yuanlang thought about it, it was snowing so heavily anyway, it would be afternoon before he could go back, so he simply agreed to Tao Sirui's invitation.

This meal was a private treat for Tao Sirui, and he didn't prepare any delicacies. He made a table of authentic farm dishes using local ingredients.

When Li Yuanlang sat down, he looked at the table full of dishes, especially the home-style braised carp placed in the middle. It was very big, weighing more than three kilograms. Not only did he curiously ask: "Zhishu Tao, where did you buy this fish?"

?”

Tao Sirui smiled slightly: "I didn't buy it, my brother beat it in the river."

Fish caught in the river!
