Wang Zhongqiu really guessed correctly. Li Yuanlang was asking for his opinion. Do you want to transfer to the county government office and become his secretary?

This was really a big pie fell from the sky, and it just hit his Wang Zhongqiu's head.

What a glory to be a secretary for the county magistrate!

However, Wang Zhongqiu was not overwhelmed by joy. He immediately calmed down. He was considering whether he could be competent.

He had only been a written secretary before, and he had no experience in serving the leader.

He was afraid that he would not do well, and if he messed up, it would have a great impact on County Mayor Li.

Therefore, Wang Zhongqiu did not agree immediately, but told Li Yuanlang that he wanted to consider making an answer.

From this point of view, Wang Zhongqiu is still very mature.

If he agrees immediately, he will give people a sign of impetuousness and unstability.

As a secretary, the more calm and thoughtful you are, the more you can help your leaders share their worries.

"Okay, I won't urge you. You can tell me immediately after you have figured it out."

Li Yuanlang and Wang Zhongqiu have contacted each other on WeChat and also have mobile phone numbers, which is very convenient.

Li Yuanlang and Wang Zhongqiu chat while walking and having sex. After dinner, they were just ready to eat. They were just for exercise, and they could also enjoy the night view.

Even though the wind was so strong in the cold winter, Li Yuanlong did not feel cold. Perhaps the hot bowl of beef noodles worked.

During this period, Li Yuanlang discovered a strange phenomenon. Although there were some pedestrians on the street, they were either middle-aged and elderly or underage students. There was a gap in this, young people around the age of twenty.

Daiding County is a large county with a population of 860,000 people in the county. The number of registered population in the county is more than 300,000. If you conservatively estimate, there will be tens of thousands of young people. Where have they all gone?

"Most of them have gone to work in other places," Wang Zhongqiu explained: "And I guess the population will be smaller and smaller. Let's talk about the county No. 1 Middle School, which is the number one high school in the county. After getting into college, many students choose to settle in other places and then take their parents over. After a while, the number of people will only decrease."

He also made an example: The housing prices in the best location in Daiding County are at most 4,000 yuan, and remote places are a little more than 2,000 yuan, and some even provide fine decoration.

Some people say that housing prices are an indicator to measure the good or bad of a local economy. Although it is a bit extreme, it is not unreasonable.

If a place has a developed economy, there will be more migrant population, which can also drive the local consumption index to rise and at the same time raise housing prices.

On the contrary, if the economy is bad and the population is severely lost, even if the consumption index rises slightly, there are fewer people, so few people will naturally buy houses. If the houses are not lowered, they will not be able to sell them.

Li Yuanlang sighed: "You can't keep young people, in the end, isn't it because our Daiding County is poor?"

Getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is the primary problem, but there is still a long way to go to solve it.

As the two talked, Li Yuanlang wanted to go to a crowded place, and Wang Zhongqiu said that he would go to the chess and card room.

Li Yuanlang was stunned. Isn’t the chess and card room a place to gambling?

Wang Zhongqiu explained: "It's cold now, and many elderly people have no place to go, so they pack up some bad chess and card rooms. Everyone pays some fees and can play cards, chess, and chat. It's not considered gambling, and they don't play much, so they can just be fun."

"Oh." Li Yuanlang nodded, followed Wang Zhongqiu's guidance and walked into a chess and card room not far away.

The chess and card room was filled with smoke and people, and the voices were heard one after another. It was very lively, just not far away, surrounded by a group of people, and bursts of cheers burst out from time to time.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Yuanlang and Wang Zhongqiu walked there and took a closer look. It was a chess stall playing chess.

One of the two sides of the game was an elder with all white hair and beard, while the other was wearing a baseball cap and lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly.

Li Yuanlang likes Go and has some skills in chess.

It’s just that due to work, I don’t have time or opportunity to find someone to play. In my spare time, I find opponents to compete online to strengthen my chess skills.

At this time, on the chessboard, the red chariot and horses were in hand, and the black platoon had only one horse and two pawns to fight.

Judging from the chess face, the chances of Hong Fang are more likely to win, and most of the chess players around him think so.

Based on the principle of not speaking without saying anything, Li Yuanlang remained silent.

Wang Zhongqiu secretly asked him around, who would win in the end?

Li Yuanlang answered in a low voice: "Black Chess."

Immediately, someone next to him laughed at him, "Why are you talking nonsense, there are only two small pawns in the black chess. A small pawn and a lame horse. Look at the red chess and then the formation. Hello, will you play chess?"

Li Yuanlang was not angry and smiled without answering.

Soon, the two sides started fighting back and forth.

The Red side is aggressive, while the Black side defends step by step, which seems very passive.

Unexpectedly, Hong Fang didn't pay attention, and two young soldiers crossing the river drove straight down and rushed to Hong Fang's nest.

In the end, the old coach won with two pawns one by one.

"You are so amazing." Wang Zhongqiu couldn't help but praise Li Yuanlong: "How did you guess that the black chess will win?"

"Isn't there such a saying?" Li Yuanlong explained: "A young man crosses the river and wants to be a veteran; it is difficult to turn back, and he has advancement but not retreat, and he has to step forward step by step without stopping."

"Don't underestimate the pawn. He can be used as a car as soon as he crosses the river. This is called an ant able to hold up a big stone."

Before Li Yuanlang finished speaking, the white-haired elder who lost the chess immediately said: "Young man, look at you talking about one thing, why don't you give it a try? No one of my opponents will beat him tonight."

"Yes, don't just say you don't practice. It's a mule or a horse that takes you out for a walk."

Someone immediately followed and heard the sounds.

The opponent raised his head and looked at Li Yuanlang, both of them were stunned.

He was not an outsider, but actually Song Yuntao, secretary of the county discipline inspection commission.

What an accident happened. The leader of the county party committee actually ran to the chess and card room to play chess at night. This was incredible.

Fortunately, Li Yuanlang and Song Yuntao both had a very tacit understanding and did not reveal their identities.

"Just play." Li Yuanlong was in a hurry and sat down to start chess.

"This chess friend, we both have to show our true skills and not be allowed to hide private goods." Li Yuanlang actually hinted that Song Yuntao was not allowed to give up chess, as winning or losing would be meaningless.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuntao replied: "No one can beat me yet. I believe you are not the first person to beat me."

"Then try it."

Wang Zhongqiu stood aside and felt it was fresh. He knew Song Yuntao, the old secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and he had long heard of the famous name when he was in the county party committee office.

He is upright and has a professional soldier and is nicknamed "Black Face Bao Gong".

He has not studied chess in his object and is familiar with the basic rules a little bit. As for chess skills, he is an introductory type.

Soon, the red and black sides jumped into a new round of fighting with the cannon.

At first, those who were watching chess around were talking and laughing, pointing and pointing. Slowly, their voices became smaller and smaller. They all stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Because both sides are obviously veterans. Song Yuntao, who holds black chess, focuses on attack, while Li Yuanlang, who plays red chess, is always on the defensive and adopts a strategy of retreating to advance.

In this game, the two sides have interactions with each other and lose each other, but they never decide the winner.

The old man with white hair stroked his white beard and nodded constantly to praise: "You can tell at the first time you take action that they are all masters, and we are only enthusiasts."

"The old man has been too awarded and cannot reach the level you mentioned. He just likes to think about this thing, which is purely a personal hobby." Li Yuanlong responded modestly.

Song Yuntao said: "You are polite. I think your level is not inferior to mine."

After saying this, Li Yuanlang took the initiative to attack, and the cart ate the opponent's head gun.

Song Yuntao used his car to eat Li Yuanlang's car, and held the chess piece and said proudly: "You just praised you and you threw the big car away. You won't resist praise."

Li Yuanlang smiled and didn't say anything, and took other chess pieces, all at the cost of losing an important chess piece.

Soon on the chessboard, there were only three small pawns and one cannon left on Li Yuanlang.

On the other hand, Song Yuntao had four small pawns, one carriage, one horse, and one of them had already crossed the river.

Do you still need to play? He has already stood up on the chess face, and only the chess pieces that ate the red chess one by one, leaving the old coach with a bare-shot commander.

But he miscalculated. He thought that he would not leave any other person to kill the opponent, but he didn't pay attention to it and ate a small pawn across the river, but Li Yuanlang used only two small pawns and a cannon across the mountain to make his veteran lose his way out.

Song Yuntao threw the chess piece on the chessboard and gave in.

Wow...

Some people in the crowd took the lead in applauding, and then the applause sounded, all of which praised Li Yuanlang for his superb chess skills.
