The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yiming convened a village committee meeting in Yunhu Village, where Wang Jiajia announced the appointment of Li Quanyou as the village party secretary and director of Yunhu Village.

"To be honest, I never dreamed that this day would come. When I first met Secretary Jiang, I spoke without thinking about some of Hu Decheng's problems. He said he would investigate and deal with them. I was skeptical at the time and did not think he could solve our village's problems. But he told me very firmly that he could handle it, but I still did not believe him."

"To my surprise, he took action very quickly, restoring peace and prosperity to Yunhu Village. I have the utmost respect and admiration for such a leader. When he approached me and asked if I was willing to do anything for everyone, I agreed without hesitation. I am willing to contribute my skills free of charge to lead the villagers of Yunhu Village to prosperity!"

"I will take today as a new starting point, adopt a new attitude, and quickly assume my new role. I will repay the trust and expectations of Secretary Jiang, the park leaders, and the villagers of Yunhu Village through the development of Yunhu Village. Here, I make the following commitments: I will adopt a correct attitude, humbly learn, and quickly assume my new role. I will work diligently, fulfill my responsibilities, be strict with myself, withstand tests, and fully demonstrate my image. I will do what I ask others to do, and I will refrain from doing what I ask others not to do. I will not engage in lavish banquets or extravagance, and I will always be strict with myself. I will actively accept the supervision of the masses, treat people with tolerance, use people generously, and be a confidant of the people, so as to live up to the trust of the organization and the expectations of the masses."

"I am fully aware of my limited abilities and skills. Nevertheless, I am willing to give my all and do my utmost to contribute to the development of my village. I firmly believe that with the correct leadership of the park's Party Working Committee, and with the support, supervision, and assistance of all Party members, cadres, and the masses, our goal will surely be achieved. Finally, I want to say: I will remember this day, and I will faithfully fulfill my promise. Thank you all!"

Li Quanyou, a man who has traveled all over the country, delivered a passionate speech that won rounds of applause.

"Director Quanyou's statement gives me more confidence to lead the villagers of Yunhu Village and the other three villages to prosperity."

Jiang Yiming earnestly admonished Li Quanyou, "Many people can stay true to their original aspirations for a period of time, but not for a lifetime. I hope you can remember your words and not let down the villagers of Yunhu Village who have placed their hopes in you. Otherwise, I will be the first to deal with you!"

"Please rest assured, Secretary Jiang, if I forget my original aspirations or lose my true nature, I will accept any punishment from you without question!"

Li Quanyou reiterated his stance.

"Alright, everyone here is a witness."

Jiang Yiming smiled and said, "Today, we will use the village office of Yunhu Village to hold the first meeting of the Rural Industry Development Group."

"Invite the village officials from the other three villages to come in and have a meeting together."

Ding Xuede called the people in.

Jiang Yiming sat in the center of the stage, with Ding Xuede and Wang Jiajia on either side.

"Everyone's here, let's begin today's meeting."

After Jiang Yiming finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Ding Xuede to host.

"In accordance with the instructions of the park's Party Committee, the park has established a rural industry development group, with Secretary Jiang Yiming as the group leader, myself as the deputy group leader, the head of the Rural Affairs Section as the office director, and the village Party secretaries of the four administrative villages as members. The group's task is to focus on the two industries of eel and yellow peach and develop them into industries that enrich the people."

"Now I'll explain the policies: First, the Yunhu Village Eel Farming Cooperative and the Gaoqiao Village Yellow Peach Planting Cooperative will be established. These two cooperatives will primarily serve as members, attracting farmers from the four villages to participate in farming and planting. They will provide unified technical guidance, fertilizers, feed, and other inputs. Second, technical cooperation agreements will be signed with relevant agricultural research institutes in the name of the industrial park to enhance the scientific and technological content of farmers' farming and breeding. Third, a subsidy policy will be formulated. The subsidy policy consists of two parts: farmers planting yellow peaches will receive a subsidy of 30 yuan per mu, directly distributed to the farmers; farmers raising eels will receive a subsidy of 150 yuan per mu, and an interest-free loan policy will be provided, with a maximum loan of 5,000 yuan per household and a maximum loan term of three years. The policy will be implemented this year."

Ding Xuede said, "The implementation of these policies is mainly carried out by the village committees and the two cooperatives, while the industrial park is responsible for supervision."

"If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to ask."

The village officials present were immediately thrilled.

"That's great! The park is finally willing to provide real financial support for the development of the agricultural industry."

"Yes, in the past, leaders only focused on industrial development and rarely cared about the lives of ordinary people. They used the money from the industrial park to subsidize the factories. This is the first time that a policy has been formulated to subsidize ordinary people. Secretary Jiang, you are truly our good secretary!"

"Secretary Jiang and all the leaders of the park, rest assured, we will definitely implement the policies conscientiously and actively promote their implementation."

The village officials present all expressed their opinions.

"The park has made a great commitment by investing these substantial funds. I hope that all village officials will seize this opportunity and make good use of this beneficial policy to ensure its thorough implementation. There must be no instances of misappropriation of subsidies. If any such cases are discovered, the park will hold the individuals and village committees strictly accountable!"

Jiang Yiming looked at Li Quanyou and said, "Director Quanyou, I remember you said last time that the eel stocking season would be no later than the end of this month. You need to seize the time, do a good job in publicity and guidance, encourage the people to raise eels, and at the same time, make use of all the resources at your disposal to rush to purchase seedlings, breeding cages, feed and other materials in a unified manner, and strive to reach a scale of 1,000 mu before the end of the month."

"Secretary, rest assured, I'm not bragging. My eel farming techniques are renowned in Yunhu Village and even the surrounding villages. Everyone who raises eels knows me, Li Quanyou, and everyone praises my eel farming techniques."

Li Quanyou smiled and said, "I believe that with the subsidies and interest-free loan policies introduced by the park, coupled with my personal guidance, the villagers' enthusiasm for breeding will definitely be high. The task of 1,000 mu can definitely be completed, please rest assured."

Relieved by Li Quanyou's affirmative reply, Jiang Yiming looked at Gao Aimin, the village secretary of Gaoqiao Village.

"Director Aimin, please organize everyone to prepare for the peach picking. Xinxin Food Company is expected to resume production in the next couple of days and will come to buy the peaches from everyone. The price will not be lower than the market price three years ago."

"Secretary Jiang, thank you on behalf of the people!"

Gao Aimin said earnestly, "You have solved the people's urgent problem."

After assigning tasks, Jiang Yiming and Wang Jiajia returned to the park together.

Everything is ready; all that's missing is the east wind.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yiming, but Du Weizhong finally spoke up: "Secretary Jiang, your policies to benefit the people are very timely and excellent. If they can be implemented, they will strongly promote the development of rural industries and help people increase their income and become rich."

"The key question is, where will this money come from? I heard that you promised Xinxin Food Company one million yuan, which is no small sum. The county can't, and doesn't have the money to, subsidize us."

"Without funding, these announced policies will become a time bomb, turning our entire park upside down!"
