The inspection trip to the village was arranged by Zhao Guodong. Liu Siyuan took a quick look and felt that the arrangement was quite good. It seemed that some care had been taken, so he did not put forward too many opinions and basically followed his plan.
.
From this, he also discovered that Zhao Guodong did have some abilities, but it was a pity that he had been buried in the town. This time, it was because he came over and served as his 'correspondent' that he had a chance to emerge.
The same goes for Ma Feng. I dare not say how strong his work ability is, and his image is also a bit wretched, but at least he can run the town party and government office in a lively manner, and arrange various things in an orderly manner. This is also a reflection of ability.
However, even though he is already over 40 years old, he is still only at the rank of a full-time employee and cannot even be considered a regular state cadre. No wonder I often heard people say that grassroots cadres work the hardest and have the least opportunities for promotion.
According to Zhao Guodong's arrangement, Liu Siyuan visited a total of seven villages this time. After all, it was unrealistic to visit more than 30 villages at once, and neither time nor energy allowed. Therefore, Zhao Guodong selected the first batch of seven villages according to his request.
Typical examples include relatively developed villages close to the town government and economically backward villages deep in the mountains that have not yet had cement roads.
Speaking of access roads, Beixi Town is currently planning to connect every village with cement roads. Currently, the last five villages are still without access. This is what the mayor Wu Weiqiang emphasized when reporting on government work. Liu Siyuan also agreed with this, as did he himself.
Coming from the county, I know how important a simple road is to a village.
The first village he went to this time, Dayukou Village, was one of the five villages that did not yet have cement roads. He could not even take a small car to Dayukou Village, so he had to take a special tricycle sent by the village committee to pick him up.
, the car bumped along the rugged dirt road. The road from the town to the village was actually less than thirty kilometers, but it took a full hour and a half. Speaking of which, the village went out of its way to welcome him as the party secretary.
Some cushions were installed on a tricycle, and the winding was like this. After entering the village, Liu Siyuan felt that his internal organs had been knocked out, and he could not even walk.
Wu Danian, the village party secretary and chief, came out with several village committee members. They saw that Liu Siyuan looked like he was about to faint, so he quickly had people welcome him into the house. After drinking a sip of hot ginger tea, he calmed down.
Only then did Comrade Liu Siyuan, secretary of the party committee, regain his composure.
He sighed deeply and laughed at himself: "Secretary Wu, it seems that the construction of the cement road cannot be delayed."
When Wu Danian saw him, he didn't show off, and his expression became more natural. He said in a loud voice, "Isn't it true? All the folks in our village are looking forward to having the cement road opened every day, and they are watching other villages building it one after another.
Yes, we are mentally anxious. Of course, the town has financial difficulties, and our village does not understand it...but we cannot transport so many peppers grown in our village..."
Liu Siyuan waved his hand and said: "I came here this time to see how much impact this road has on our village. Now you don't have to say anything and I understand. Also, Secretary Wu, I didn't come down this time to sit in the office for a meeting."
Yes, I'm feeling better now, please accompany me for a walk in the village."
Wu Danian said that it was no problem, but it was a bit cold outside. Liu Siyuan smiled and said that it warmed up as he walked. The latter then called a few staff members and walked out with Liu Siyuan and his entourage.
Although Dayukou Village is already considered a remote village in Beixi with extremely inconvenient transportation, unexpectedly the water conservancy facilities here are still well maintained. I recall that when the country was first liberated, under the call of the chairman, every village
Every production brigade has volunteered to participate in the construction of water conservancy facilities. However, after the reform and opening up, this kind of voluntary labor has almost become extinct. As a result, many water conservancy facilities in rural areas have been in disrepair for many years, resulting in lower and lower utilization rates. However, Dayu
The water conservancy facilities in Kou Village are close to 100% still functioning to irrigate crops, which I have to say is very surprising.
"Mayor Wu has always attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy. Deputy Mayor Yi is dedicated to water conservancy. He comes to the village to inspect once a month and organizes everyone to work together on construction and maintenance." Wu Danian introduced as he walked.
"The town government has allocated a special sum of money to all villages to maintain water conservancy facilities." Ma Feng added at the side. "Deputy Mayor Yi is in charge of this area."
This was the first time Liu Siyuan went to the village to inspect work. He did not bring any deputy mayor with him, but took Ma Feng with him by name. This made him a little flattered and he was particularly diligent along the way.
Liu Siyuan nodded and said: "Indeed, water conservancy irrigation can save villagers a lot of effort in farm work and improve efficiency. This is a great thing, and we must continue to maintain it."
Walking in the countryside, Liu Siyuan discovered that there were very few young and middle-aged people in sight, and those working in the farmland were almost all old people and preschool children playing in twos and threes. As a result, there was a serious shortage of labor, and many good people were working there.
The farmland is abandoned and overgrown with weeds, which is quite deplorable.
"All the young people have gone out to work. Those under 30 have gone to coastal areas at the forefront of reform and opening up. Those who are slightly older are working in the province, such as the provincial capital or Ziwei City. The rest are the elderly and children."
Ma Feng saw his expression and explained knowingly.
Liu Siyuan nodded, having nothing to say. The hollowing out of the population is a common feature of almost all rural areas. He could only sigh with emotion: "It's a bit sad to see these fields abandoned."
"Secretary Liu, the key issue is that it is really not profitable to farm now." Wu Danian said loudly: "Not to mention working, we have returned dozens of acres of farmland to forests last year, whether it is planting green forests or timber forests,
You can make more money than farming. You see, these lands used to grow double-cropping rice, but now they only grow one season..."
"Lao Wu, your idea is wrong." Ma Feng suddenly looked serious and interrupted Wu Danian's words: "The town has strict regulations on abandoning wasteland, and the red line of cultivated land must be guaranteed..."
"Director Ma, I understand the truth." Wu Danian sighed, "No, the village has implemented a fine system, and whoever abandons the land will be fined." After a pause, he added: "So now everyone wants to return farmland to forest...
…”
Liu Siyuan felt that it was inappropriate for him not to speak at this time, so he could only say: "Lao Wu, we can understand the difficulties in the village. The town will also discuss the issues of abandonment and 'hollowing out', but Director Ma is right.
, and don’t forget that the state has arrangements and clear regulations for rural work. These bottom lines must not be touched. Village cadres must also exert their subjective initiative and work together to find solutions.”
Liu Siyuan's words were harsh, but he still sympathized with the farmers in his heart. A few days after coming out of Dayukou Village, he visited a few more villages. The situation in the villages closer to the town center was somewhat different. Although the population was "hollow"
The phenomenon of urbanization is still serious, and abandonment is also common, but the lives of farmers here are not particularly poor, mainly due to the compensation for land acquisition during the urbanization process of Beixi Town in recent years. However, this has also given rise to new problems, because
Due to the lack of spiritual life, many farmers who had become rich overnight by expropriating land suddenly felt overwhelmed and lost motivation. Social problems such as gambling also quietly emerged.
In addition to the excellent maintenance of water conservancy facilities in Beixi Town, there is another aspect that impressed him very deeply, and that is education. It is said that after Wu Weiqiang became the mayor, he has been promoting the centralization of educational resources and concentrated all primary and secondary schools in the center of the town.
For children in relatively remote rural areas, the town government subsidizes and runs special shuttle buses every week.
Moreover, the government also funds to provide primary and secondary school students with a cup of milk every day, and middle school students receive free lunch every day. This policy is generally supported by the people. This is also in line with the mainstream values and stream of consciousness of the entire Qianhu Province, unlike some other provinces.
Qianhu Province generally attaches great importance to education issues. Even rural people agree that the best way out is for their children to go to college, so they are more willing to spend money on education.
After several days of inspection, Liu Siyuan also had a preliminary understanding of Beixi Town. Generally speaking, Beixi Town is considered a relatively developed and wealthy town, especially after visiting several villages. Liu Siyuan continued to visit two industries.
After entering the park, I feel that this small town in northern Hubei really has some unique advantages, especially the transportation location. It is the intersection of highways in four provinces, extending in all directions. There are mature automobile and machinery industries nearby, and it can even be said that it is the home of some businesses.
It is a battleground. Therefore, the economy of Beixi Town is second only to Chengguan Town, where the county government is located, and ranks second in Chengen County. The gap between the two is even very small.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it turned out that Wu Weiqiang was still a good mayor, but this time he was in trouble.
