At this time, the captain of a remote production team stood up and asked: "Secretary Liu, the biggest problem we encounter now is the lack of transportation.

Even if we have abundant grain and sufficient agricultural and sideline products, how can we transport it to the commune market or the county to sell it? Even if we transport it out, the labor cost is too high and it is not cost-effective!"

Liu Yan heard this, stretched out his hand, pointed directly at the production team leader and said: "This is a very good question. The traffic issue is one of the key points we are going to discuss today, and it is also the fundamental issue that we must ultimately solve completely.

But one thing I want to tell you is that all walks of life in our country are now in a critical period that is waiting for development. The country is not rich at the moment. We cannot wait to reach out to the country, and we cannot just think about it.

To live a prosperous life, we need to rely on ourselves, we need to find a way and work together."

"Secretary Liu, just tell me directly. What do we need to do about the road problem? How to do it?" said the production team leader who asked the question just now.

"Secretary Liu is right, the country has given us a good policy of household responsibility, and opening up the road is also for ourselves and for the benefit of future generations.

As long as we can help Songyang completely lift our village out of poverty, we are willing to do it.

Secretary Liu, just tell us what to do?" Another captain of the remote production team continued.

"Secretary Liu, we are all willing to follow suit! If the road is blocked, it is like an arterial embolism. No matter how good the products in the mountains are, they cannot be transported out."

"It's not that I haven't thought about ways to make money. One year, I borrowed money to buy a piglet, hoping to raise it and sell it for money.

After two years of hard work, the pigs were fattened, but the mountain road was not easy to walk, so I had to ask several villagers to help carry them down the mountain along the rugged mountain road for several hours to sell.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was carried down the mountain, it was sold within half an hour.

As a result, when the accounts were calculated, more than half of the money from selling the pigs was used to pay for the labor of hiring people to lift the pigs. The remaining money was the cost of buying piglets that year. The money for raising pigs in the past two years was paid for in vain. In this way

How can you become rich?"

"Secretary He, Captain Meng, can you tell me how to build this road?" Several people in the yard asked anxiously.

"After collective research and decision by the village committee, road construction will still be contracted by households. When each household signs a household contract agreement, they can voluntarily contract to build certain traffic sections," Meng Xiang said.

"Contracting the construction of traffic roads? How to contract?" someone asked.

“The road is divided into two parts, one is from Songyang to Chang’an Commune, and the other is from various natural villages to Songyang Brigade.

From far to near, every 50 meters is a contracted road section. Each household that is close can contract a few more road sections, and those that are far away can contract fewer road sections. This is also determined by drawing lots."

“What should we do if we encounter some families who don’t have enough labor?”

“Those who have strong labor force can work alone, and those who do not have strong labor force can work together with several households. They can also work together to ensure that agricultural land is contracted to each household.

Although it is contracted to every household, it does not mean that we cannot help each other," Meng Xiang continued.

"Although we implement the contract responsibility system, the purpose is to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and reflect the advantages of more reward for more work. But we are a socialist country, and we must also reflect the spirit of mutual help.

For example, those with less labor in the family can help those with more labor in the family do more daily farm work, and let those strong laborers do more road construction work," He Changfa said.

The courtyard suddenly fell into silence. Then, some people began to whisper and discuss.

He Changfa continued: "In order to encourage everyone to actively participate in road contracting construction, all families who voluntarily participate in road contracting, after completing their tasks, can enjoy nine years of free compulsory education for every child within the family's family planning.

Those who contract a lot of road sections can also enjoy scholarship support for three years of high school and four years of college."

As soon as He Changfa finished his words, the whole audience suddenly burst into excitement!

Everyone understands that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. What you didn’t expect is that if you want your children to go to school for free, you can also build roads first.

"I didn't expect that this contracting plan actually included road construction, schooling, and family planning."

"Once the road is repaired, children's school fees will be free from now on."

"If your children study well, they can still enjoy scholarships in high school and college."

“In order for our children to go to school for free, it’s worth it no matter how hard and tiring it is to build roads.”

“The sooner you build the road, the sooner you can enjoy free conditions.”

…

Everyone was talking about each other's words.

However, the issue of family planning made many people present murmur in their hearts.

"Secretary He, we are determined and confident to complete the task of building roads. But can the family planning policy be relaxed a little?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Relax? Let me ask you, should you relax an inch or a foot?" He Changfa pointed at the person and said.

Then he put out the cigarette in his hand and continued: "Family planning is for everyone's benefit. You have to understand this. Family life is so difficult now. One more child means one more mouth.

If the whole family doesn’t have enough to eat, even if you are willing to pay a fine, what kind of fine will you get?

Don’t we just want to give birth to more strong laborers?

Don't you think about it, how many years does it take from the time a child is born until he grows up to be able to work?

What if another girl shows up? With the fine money, you would have built a new house and lived a good life.

This is a matter of principle and cannot be relaxed. If you relax even an inch, you will have to make an inch more."

"Secretary He is right! Family planning is a national policy, which is related to the quality of China's population and whether the country can be rich. Only when the country is rich and strong can the lives of our people be guaranteed." Lin Jindi said to everyone on the sidelines.

At this time, I only heard Liu Yan say: "Comrade members, our poverty alleviation and prosperity are not only material poverty alleviation and material wealth, but also spiritual poverty alleviation and spiritual wealth.

Therefore, our poverty alleviation cannot stop at material poverty alleviation, but more importantly, educational poverty alleviation.

Only by realizing poverty alleviation through education can we get rid of the farming method that has faced the loess and turned its back to the sky for thousands of years.

Only by relying on knowledge and culture can members be truly wealthy. At that time, it will no longer depend on physical strength, but on knowledge.

Knowledge is the source of wealth creation. By that time, boys and girls will all be the same.

This is why we put education and family planning in an equally important position, and this is what makes the Chang'an Commune Poverty Alleviation Plan unique."

"Secretary He, Captain Meng, after hearing what Secretary Liu said, we are all willing to actively participate in road construction."

"For the sake of our children and for our next generation to receive a good education, we are willing to do whatever it takes no matter how hard it is."

...

At this moment, He Mingliang, the captain of Xishan Village, stood up and said: "The problem is that natural villages like ours suffer.

Although household-based production quotas can solve our food and clothing problems, due to the small population and road traffic problems, it is difficult for our own village to solve it.

If the road traffic problem cannot be solved, we still cannot solve the problem of children going to school."

He Changfa pointed at He Mingliang and said: "The question raised by Captain He is very good, and it is also another issue we will focus on today.
