"What should I do?"
"I suggest that the standard for the remaining villages be lowered to five to ten yuan each. Qiaojia Village and Sunjia Village should each receive one yuan as a symbolic tax, and the rest should be issued with IOUs.
If there are extremely poor families, the town can help pay the bills.
For example, if someone is old, disabled, or has no labor force at home, they will be given appropriate reductions or exemptions. This includes several wealthy villages, which also enjoy such treatment.
Of course, we can also use the name of the town government to tell them that if we don’t lead them to prosperity, they don’t have to pay back the money, so that they don’t have to worry about the future.”
As long as the roads are built, things in the mountains can flow out.
You can even leave the mountains, farm at home when you are busy, and go out to work when you are free. It is much better than now.
Later, Qi Tongwei also planned to set up a construction team in Guying Town to take over construction sites outside.
You can't become fat in one bite, and building a road is not something that can be done in one step.
In principle, as long as the road in Longkou Town is repaired, Guying Town will be much better off. At least a shortcut can be built to facilitate the villagers' travel, and then we can slowly seek development and change.
The same was true for the choice of road construction in later generations, and it took about 15 years to gradually achieve the goal of connecting every village.
Two days later, after discussion, the town issued an official document and sent people to convey the news to each village.
...
Qiao Village.
Qiao Shihong shouted loudly for each family to send someone to pick up new clothes, and at the same time he had an important announcement to make.
Finally, we have clothes. Qiaojia Village is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
After the village cadres distributed the clothes, the villagers quickly changed into winter work clothes and gathered at the door of Qiao Shihong's house. The only drawback was that everyone was still barefoot.
Qiao Shihong looked at this with joy in his heart. The villagers finally had clothes to cover their bodies. From now on, they only had to solve the problem of clothes for adults. Children could be satisfied by simply making the clothes smaller.
The villagers gathered together made Qiao Shihong sigh. There were so many faces that even he couldn't recognize them.
After all, everyone stayed at home and didn't dare to go out. After several years, no one remembered who, especially the children.
At this time, someone pointed to a large red paper on the wall and asked, "Village Chief, what's written on it?"
Qiao Shihong smiled and said, "The town has officially issued a document to raise funds to build the road. Our lives will be better in the future."
"Raising funds? How much money will it cost?"
"It's based on the number of people, twenty per person."
"Ah? Twenty! Village chief, my family can't afford that much money."
"Yes, this is a matter of life and death!" The villagers started to make a fuss.
Qiao Shihong pressed his hands and shouted, "Everyone, listen to me. Mayor Qi knows the difficulties of our town, so he divided each village into three levels. We are in the third level. Each person only needs to pay one yuan, and the rest will be retained as arrears. However, the town also said that if you fail to lead everyone to prosperity, you don't have to pay back the arrears, and the money you have paid will be refunded."
When they heard that everyone had to contribute a piece, everyone felt a little better, but they were still a little dissatisfied.
In fact, even one piece is a big burden for them.
It’s not that they can’t take it out, but that the money is kept for emergencies and will not be used unless it is a life-and-death situation.
"Village head, our village is so poor, isn't it too much for them to take money from us? Why not just write an IOU for all the money?"
Qiao Shihong's face turned serious when he heard this, and he scolded, "We have already taken advantage of this. If everyone doesn't contribute anything, what will other villages think? Won't people point fingers at us when we walk on the street?"
Suppressing the objections, Qiao Shihong continued, “Also, Mayor Qi said that families without laborers don’t have to pay, or those who lack laborers can be exempted.
In fact, don’t worry, we will be rich soon.”
Qiao Shihong suddenly left the question in suspense.
An old man with gray hair asked cautiously: "What's the matter? Hongzi, you don't want to lead the villagers to make drugs!
I advise you to take the right path. The end of Sunjia Village will not last long."
"Uncle, how dare I make poison? Please don't worry, old man."
"How can we get rich without making drugs? Is there a gold mine in our mountains?"
Qiao Shihong really wanted to say that they were almost close to the gold mine, but he held back the words when they came to his lips.
His mentality now is exactly the same as Sun Jiacun's at that time. This secret must be kept and can't be told casually. Besides, the matter has not been decided yet, so it will be accomplished if it is kept secret.
"Okay, you'll know later. Uncle, I still have to go to Sunjia Village, so I won't tell you any more."
"What? Going to Sunjia Village, you don't really want to make drugs, do you?"
Qiao Shihong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course not. Sun Wude, the village party secretary of Sunjia Village, was shot. There is no news about the road construction yet. I will go and inform them."
"That's right, this is a big deal, so let's call a few more people. They have just come out of this big thing, so we're afraid they might do something irrational."
"No, no, I'll just go with Shiqiang. More people will easily irritate the other party. Besides, I'm going to announce the town's arrangements, not to negotiate. It's okay."
It is said that Qiao Shihong walked out of the village with a thin man amid the worried gazes of the people in Qiaojia Village.
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried, but Qiao Shihong had to go. If Mayor Qi was allowed to go and get into danger, it would be hard to say how long Qiaojia Village would be able to develop further.
For this opportunity, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
Of course, it is also possible that his worries were unnecessary. After all, anyone with problems in Sunjia Village was arrested or executed, and all their guns and ammunition were confiscated.
If you dare to kill again, you will probably suffer another devastating blow.
Chapter 135 Wu Guo's Ambition
Lone Eagle Ridge, Sunjia Village.
More than half a month has passed since the big cleanup.
The village now presents a strange scene.
The lives of those villagers who did not participate in drug production did not seem to be affected too much and remained as peaceful as usual.
They continued to work in the fields, making fertilizer and weeding.
Wisps of smoke from the burning straw fell into the sky, filling the air with peace.
However, in sharp contrast to these villagers is another group of people who have become silent and taciturn.
Even so, everyone had to make a living and was busy working in the fields, so they didn't have much time to grieve or hate.
Because the living space on this land is limited, only by continuous working can one ensure food and clothing for oneself and one's family and drive away sadness.
Qiao Shihong stood in the field in a daze, looking up. The people he knew were either dead or captured. He didn't know who to turn to for information.
Until an elderly man came over with a cane and a little girl of eight or nine years old.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, old man. I am the village party secretary of Qiaojia Village next door. The town asked me to bring some news to the village."
"Qiaojia Village? What's the news?"
Upon hearing the news from the town, the old man was extremely sensitive and poked the ground vigorously with his walking stick, "There is no drug production in our village now. What, do you think we are easy to bully?"
"No, no, it's not, old man, you misunderstood, it's a good thing."
"Good thing? Look at us, there is no good thing here. It would be a good thing if you don't bother us anymore. Get out of here." The old man waved his crutch to drive people away.
"Alas, old man." Qiao Shihong looked helpless and let the other party's cane hit him. "Can you let me finish what I want to say? If you still want me to leave after I finish, I will leave immediately."
After a few beatings, the old man became breathless and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll see what you can come up with."
"The reason why our Sunjia Village has become like this is because of poverty, which has led people to the path of crime.
Regarding this point, I can understand your feelings. Speaking of poverty, no village in Guying Town is poorer than our Qiaojia Village.
The government is now determined to change this situation. They have asked me to come and inform you that the town is going to build a road and lead you onto the legal road to prosperity.
I know you have hatred in your hearts, but who should those who are harmed by the drugs you make hate?"
"Are you finished?" The old man was unmoved and looked at Qiao Shihong fiercely, "If you are finished, get out of here quickly, or I will beat you to death with my old bones!"
"Old people!" Qiao Shihong was furious. The more stubborn the old people were, the harder it was to convince them. But this group of people happened to be the most prestigious in the village. As long as they succeeded, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
"Get out!" the old man cursed. His voice quickly attracted the nearby villagers. The villagers who didn't know what was going on rushed out with hoes and carrying poles.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiao Shihong had to leave with the help of his brothers.
...
Lone Eagle Town.
The news brought by Qiao Shihong did not surprise Qi Tongwei at all.
It's already a blessing that the other party doesn't make trouble now. It's impossible for us to be obedient.
However, the other party was still very rational. They did not start fighting or chasing after him, which shows that the law still has a considerable deterrent effect on them.
"Mayor Qi, I don't think Sunjia Village is suitable for sending people to serve as village cadres for the time being." Qiao Shihong said.
Qi Tongwei nodded and sighed, "That's right, let's put it aside for now and talk about it later."
Once the road is built and the Chinese red mine is mined, these people will change their mindset when they see the benefits.
If that still doesn't work, then you can only hand it over to the next person and let time wash it away.
Wu Guo, who was standing by, had an idea. Wasn't now the time for him to make a contribution?
What is the most important thing to be valued by your leaders?
Of course, we should be concerned about what the leader is concerned about and think about what the leader is thinking about.
"Leader, how about I give it a try?" Wu Guo spoke while pouring tea for Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei stopped drinking tea, put three fingers together, and gently tapped the desk: "Wu Guo, you can't try this. If you are not careful, someone will die."
Wu Guo explained: "Leader, I know what they are thinking. As for me, I am just a worthless person, they will not do anything to me.
Once the action starts, I will probably have to replace a hundred or eighty people from their village.
But if I convince them, there won't be a hidden danger left in our Lone Eagle Town, and you won't have so many troubles."
Qi Tongwei looked at Wu Guo carefully, trying to guess what he was thinking.
I just want to show off and stand out.
But as long as he behaves himself around me, I will definitely give him a future in the future, so there is no need to take risks.
Is this kid really not afraid of death?
"Check!"
[White] Wu Guo, hidden friend level: 5
Check-in probability: 50% (high trust)
Wow, the hidden friend level is so high.
Qi Tongwei became interested. "Wu Guo, if I send you to Sunjia Village, what would you do?"
Wu Guo thought for a moment and organized his words, "Leader, I will go directly to announce the town's appointment."
Qiao Shihong said worriedly: "Then they might beat you to death."
"They don't dare!" Wu Guo said confidently, "The anti-drug campaign has already silenced them. If they dare to kill me, the consequences will be equally serious. As long as they are willing to pay with their lives, then come on. I think as long as they are not fools, they will definitely not do it."
Qi Tongwei asked: "What you said is a relatively good result. Even if you succeed in the first step, they will isolate you and at most make you a dispensable village party secretary. No one will listen to you."
"Leader, have you forgotten what I studied? I studied medicine. I don't know about serious illnesses, but I am capable of treating minor illnesses. So I will need the town to support me with a batch of medicines. I am also a part-time village doctor. It is impossible for them not to get sick. As long as they get sick, our relationship will slowly ease."
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei had to admit that this was indeed a good idea.
No matter what era, doctors are always respected, especially in backward mountain villages.
In Sunjia Village, people usually have to endure minor illnesses and pains, or use some folk remedies, and medical care is extremely backward.
Now that there is a clinic, at least it can solve many of their problems.
Those who are particularly prone to illness are the elderly, and it happens that these elderly people have prestige in the village.
Qi Tongwei nodded, "That's a solution, but you have to think clearly that this is not a joke. No one can predict the risks involved."
Wu Guo said seriously: "I know that the trouble was caused by me, and I will never cause trouble to the organization."
Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought, constantly calculating in his mind.
The pros and cons are just a thought away.
