Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Mi Xiaonan reminded him, "Liu Yibang, I think your idea of leading your fellow villagers to prosperity is good, but no matter what you do, you must be realistic. How can you raise seafood inland? Don't mess around!"

Yu Cuilian also nodded repeatedly: "If we can raise seafood here, won't it become a seaside?"

Liu Yibang replied: "The world has changed dramatically. What do you think these places were like millions of years ago, or even longer? It was caused by the movement of the earth's crust. The original sea became a mountain, and the original flat land and ravines became the seabed. How can this be impossible?"

"I'm not saying this nonsense. The Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Research Institute in the provincial capital has been researching this project! The fish, shrimp, and crab fry of all the seafood species were all purchased from my sister! At the time, my sister also provided a lot of funding to support the development of the western region."

"Now we have results! I'm thinking about implementing this. When the time comes, I'll invite experts over and make arrangements based on the situation in our village. I'll organize the young and middle-aged people in the village to dig fish ponds for seafood farming!"

Yu Cuilian and Mi Xiaonan were stunned by what Liu Yibang said. It seemed that this matter was true.

Yu Cuilian smiled and said, "There are many young and strong people in the village, so digging the pond is no problem at all. But for aquaculture, we need to buy shrimp, fish and crab fry, as well as feed, and all these things cost money."

Liu Yibang had certainly considered this issue. "Actually, this might not be difficult. My sister supported their research back then and provided a lot of funding. Now that we have results, we naturally need to choose a test site. I'll go find the professor and have this site established in our village."

"We only provide labor, not money. If the breeding is successful, our village will expand the breeding and increase income. If it's not successful, we will find other ways. In any case, we won't lose money and it won't affect our farming."

Yu Cuilian was shocked when she heard this. After all, he was a cadre from above and could get resources from above. This is what a good leader is.

To put it bluntly, these farmers who stayed behind were so poor that they only had strength left! If they could use their strength to make money, wouldn't they give it their all?

"Don't worry, Mayor Liu! When I return to the village, I promise to do a good job in educating the villagers and will definitely get everyone to follow me."

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "I'll need you and the village cadres to support my work when the time comes! Let's be realistic and find another way to make money."

Mi Xiaonan quietly looked at Liu Yibang's confident and energetic appearance, and for some reason, her heart beat faster.

Mi Xiaonan said: "Actually, I'm fine now. Do you want to be discharged from the hospital?"

"No!" Liu Yibang and Yu Cuilian said in unison, "We must observe for one night. If the fever is gone tomorrow, we can go back!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Mi Xiaonan replied, "It happens to be the weekend, so I don't have to go to school! I'll be discharged tomorrow, rest for a day, and then I can officially start classes the day after tomorrow!"

After Liu Yibang returned home, he used the town government's landline to call home.

It's not that I don't want to use my phone, but the signal here is bad! Sometimes I can't get through, and even if I do, the conversation is choppy.

"Meilan, I've finished my investigation!" Liu Yibang said. "Just as I was getting ready to start work, I ran into a high school classmate who's a volunteer teacher in Baxiang Village, where I work!"

"Did you just go there, or did you go there before?" Liu Meilan was startled and asked quickly.

Liu Yibang replied: "I started teaching here two years ago, and in four months it will be two years!"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then don't worry. Even if someone wanted to plot against you, they couldn't have started planning it two years ago! After all, no one can guarantee that you would be assigned to where you are now, right?"

Liu Yibang also smiled and nodded. "Although it's a bit like judging others by one's own standards, it's better to be careful. Mi Xiaonan aspired to be a teacher in high school, and she wanted to teach in a less developed area. She also applied to a normal school, so she can be considered a person who combines knowledge and practice."

"Third brother, do you like her?" Liu Meilan asked directly.

Liu Yibang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled: "I can't say I like her, after all, we've been reunited for so short a time, but I think we are the same kind of people! Today, a few naughty children were skating in the river and fell into an ice hole. Mi Xiaonan jumped in to save the children. If Chen Feng, another local police officer and I hadn't arrived in time, she would have died now."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was startled. "What's going on now?"

Liu Yibang replied, "I performed CPR on her, and she woke up. We rushed her to the hospital promptly, and her fever has subsided! She'll be hospitalized tonight for observation, and should be able to be discharged tomorrow. When I got to the village, I started farming seafood on the saline-alkali land, planting some salt- and alkali-loving plants, and then developing animal husbandry on a small scale."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Teacher Mi is really great! There's a primary school in the village. I'll pack up some books that were redeemed on our island and mail them to the children! Reading more books can broaden their horizons."

"I've already called Professor Su from the Animal Husbandry College in Gansu Province. When you go there, they'll not only provide you with technical support, but also some seedlings. Don't worry!"

Liu Yibang smiled: "Thank you, little sister!"

Liu Meilan waved her hand. "You're welcome! If you can farm seafood, maybe you can farm pearls, too. I'll airfreight some pearl oyster seedlings for you. You can try them too."

Liu Meilan had a good idea. Even if these pearls did not have the effect of beautifying the skin, people would still like them very much as jewelry.

"Okay!" Liu Yibang became more confident. After hanging up the phone, he began to write a work plan.

The next day, after breakfast, Liu Yibang went to the hospital to visit Mi Xiaonan. After confirming that she no longer had a fever, he asked Ma Minghan to drive a van to pick up Mi Xiaonan and Yu Cuilian and take them back together.

Liu Yibang arrived at Baxiang Village and immediately convened a village committee meeting. Women's director Yu Cuilian, public security director Xu Zhiqiang, family planning specialist Tang Jianguo, and seven other Party members attended.

Since the old party secretary passed away, the position of village party secretary has been vacant.

I originally thought that the security director Xu Zhiqiang could become the village party secretary, but I didn't expect that someone would be sent directly from above.

This made Xu Zhiqiang, who had always thought that the position of village party secretary was a sure thing, very unhappy.

It doesn’t matter to others. No matter who becomes the village party secretary, they will remain in their current position.

In fact, they were thinking in their hearts that Xu Zhiqiang might not be as good as the previous village party secretary!

They learned from Yu Cuilian, the director of the Women's Federation, that this was the village party secretary sent from above, and also the deputy mayor, a position much better than Xu Zhiqiang.
