Chapter 40: Going to the Common People
In the township government.
Liu Guang sat on the backrest chair with a gloomy face and asked Hu Jiumei: "You said he went down. This place is not familiar with the place. What will he do when he goes down? Where is Lao Zhang?"
Hu Jiumei hopes to see the man in front of her in this state, instead of letting her act coquettishly, she hopes that he can be stronger and that she can climb the top with his sails. She does not want to be satisfied with the status quo. When she has been exposed to the power of power, some money brought by power has become a second-level choice. Every time Liu Guang is serious, she will show the attitude that a subordinate should have. She never thinks that she is incapable, but she is not lucky enough.
"Captain Zhang is receiving comrades from the county public security bureau. It is said that there is a case that our township wants to cooperate. Mu Jun went down to send information to promote it before, and he has almost visited all nineteen villages."
Liu Guang turned the pen in his hand, snorted and waved to Hu Jiumei, and his outstanding expressions appeared on his face again. He grabbed Hu Jiumei who was walking over into his arms, panting and kissed Hu Jiumei's neck with such bad breath that he had smoked too much, and his big hand grabbed Hu Jiumei's plump breasts through the clothes.
"Don't... Mu Jun's side..."
"You go to the villa and let them out two people, follow Mu Jun and see what he does. The last time he went to the villa with Yang Ping, he was sneaky. Don't let me know that he was coming for me, otherwise, hum!" As he said, he pressed Hu Jiumei's head between his legs. At this moment, you can't overlap his image with an official, but he is like a vicious black-dao society person, who strives to solve the problem with brute force.
Hu Jiumei lowered her head, her eyes full of disappointment and dissatisfaction. In the past, Liu Guang turned his hands to make the clouds and rain. The manly aura made her willing to fall. She knew that she could live the life she wanted with him. But who knew that the failure to advance to the county once made him depressed and he embarked on another path. In the past few years, she has seen Liu Guang's way of dealing with problems like a social person. She has become increasingly technical and has moved towards a simple and crude direction. Hu Jiumei is sometimes very scared. She has seen several actions that have crossed the legal boundaries. She found that Liu Guang no longer regards herself as the party secretary of a village, but the local king and emperor here, and no one is allowed to infringe on his power and rights.
……………………
Gouwazi Village is less than ten kilometers away from the central block where the township government is located. With the span of Dakou Township, it is not even possible to go back to the village due to distance. Mu Jun is determined to do some practical things. Once he has the opportunity to form a closer relationship with the villagers, he may stay in the village. At the same time, he is also ready to go to the county and city to obtain information as soon as possible.
There are 120 families, 385 people, with a farmland area of 420 mu, and an average annual income of 3,300 yuan. It is not enough to compare the country, and there is still more than the lowest. However, in Duanyun Province, Ningfeng City, and even Dianyu County, Gouwazi Village are one of the lowest annual incomes.
There are mountains, water and rivers. Gouwazi Village has insufficient agricultural arable land area, and the mountain arable land yield is too low and it is too hard to cultivate. The villagers who have been accustomed to food and relief for many years have been busy with the spring and autumn and occasionally working is their living habits. Many lazy people are even reluctant to go to work, so they can eat and drink in a year.
This is not the first time Mu Jun came to Gouwazi Village. When I came to visit the village party secretary Lao Lu had a meal, the oil toad caught by the village party secretary Lao Lu on the mountain, that is, the forest frog. I still remember that Lao Lu said that the forest frogs on the mountain and the river were a magic weapon for villagers to improve their lives. In the village, Mu Jun also heard that Lao Lu would bring some to the leaders from time to time to taste. At that time, Mu Jun was worried and asked a few more questions, but Lao Lu couldn't say it. He said that there were many toads on the river in the mountains, and he didn't know why there were so many.
Grabbing faces requires the joint efforts of a group of people. Mu Jun knew that he was just a newcomer. If he could succeed, he could establish the title of Secretary Mu as the secretary of the office, and let more people do something with him. Gouwazi Village is one of the breakthrough points he chose, if this place could meet his requirements.
The car went around the entrance of the village and drove directly to the Qianxi River at the foot of the mountain under Mu Jun's instructions. Mu Jun got out of the car and stretched his waist. He took out a box of Yunyan from his bag and took apart one and handed it to Lao Jiang.
"Secretary Mu..."
"Please smoke it. If you can't hold on to smoking in the car in the future, you can smoke one. I don't have that much taboo." Mu Jun's seemingly casual words, Lao Jiang was really moved in his heart. After all, the leader could see what he did with caution. He never dared to smoke in the car. When the leader smoked, he didn't smoke. He endured it, for fear that he would be even more disliked by the leader. Lao Yanbing's tolerance was not easy, and only Lao Jiang knew the taste. Today, a leader finally mentioned this and noticed this. Lao Jiang was very moved. Suddenly, a thought that he felt was a bit absurd. Maybe Secretary Mu was a good official and was thrown out of his mind in a flash. It was not easy to judge whether a good official or a good official was judged by this. Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, you are really confused.
Smoking a cigarette, Mu Jun stood by the clear river, looking at the environment he was not very familiar with. He didn't understand many things in the countryside, including how this toad grew up. He didn't know much about it. He didn't dare to make a big fuss with just a little text and information that he was temporarily cramming. He even had a little vague thought in his mind. This time, he was mainly just looking at it and maybe he could do something.
"Lao Jiang, why do you think this toad in Gouwazi are so popular? Everyone says it's delicious."
Jiang Duofu was stunned for a moment and replied casually: "When I was a child, the toads in this place were famous far and wide. People from dozens of miles away came here to touch frogs. Local villagers also organized blocking them, and there were conflicts for this. There were many people who came here secretly in the middle of the night, and I also came when I was young."
"Then why no one wants to use the environment here for breeding? The price of forest frogs in the market is rising year by year, so the profit margin should be very large. I think the villagers in the village will also catch some and sell them in the village and county, right?"
Jiang Duofu had no way to answer Mu Jun's question, and he didn't know it. He only knew that in the villages and counties, those who sell gouwazi toads are very popular.
When the two of them finished smoking a cigarette, the man who answered Mu Jun rushed over from a distance on a motorcycle.
Lu is a big surname in Gouwazi Village, and Lao Lu is also the patriarch of the Lu family in the village. He has served as the village party secretary for many years and has good character. Several times due to relief funds and land tax issues, many villagers in the village confronted the township and counties, and he even mediated. There was even a conflict between two nearby villages, and he took the men from the village to fight. The talents from the township police station did not intensify the conflict. The only disadvantage was that he did not have the spirit of pioneering and enterprising. The village repeatedly proposed that he would serve in the township but was rejected. His reason was that I was not used to it. We just wanted to do something for the villagers and didn't have the ability to manage the affairs in the township.
This old Lu is a strange thing in Gouwazi Village. Mu Jun learned about it when he came before the New Year. The only place to drink with Zhang Dahai is the old Lu family in Gouwazi Village.
"Secretary Mu, it's really you. When I saw the car from afar, I thought I was dazzled." Old Lu was only in his forties, his hair was half white, and his face was full of folds. He looked at him and said that he was in his sixties and someone believed him.
"Hello, Secretary Lu." Mu Jun waited until Old Lu stopped the motorcycle and stretched out his hand.
"Okay, Secretary Mu, you'd better call me Lao Lu, so I'll listen to it kindly."
"Then old Lu, you called me Xiao Mu in private, and I listened to you with kindness."
Old Lu looked at Mu Jun and responded with a smile: "Zhong, I feel comfortable looking at you, and I feel comfortable being a leader."
Mu Jun reiterated what he asked Lao Jiang just now. Lao Lu took the cigarette handed over by Lao Jiang and lit it. He squatted on the stone by the river. He sucked a few times and said, "Why no one came? A few years ago, the village introduced a businessman from the Northeast. He has been doing small business here. After eating our toads, he felt that it was no worse than theirs. He said that now they are all farming in the mountains and wanted to build a large-scale farm here. At that time, we all thought it was good. Every year, the toads in the mountains and rivers do not have enough food for everyone, and it is not good to be able to breed. The businessman brought breeding technology, took the money and invested it in, and asked our villagers to invest in it together. Alas!"
Speaking of this, Lao Lu sighed heavily, the wrinkles on his face became thicker and deeper, and he also took out two dollars of chrysanthemums from his pocket and looked at them. He sucked the familiar smell of tobacco in big mouthfuls, and slowly exhaled thick smoke: "It was pretty good at the beginning, and it was all very good, but I don't know why, more than 20,000 people died in one go, and it continued. At that time, there was no technician in this area here. The businessman went to the county to hire one, but he didn't say anything. The frogs were dead, and the businessmen ran away with nothing. The villagers lost money. No one dared to mention this matter since then. Xiao Mu, don't ask me to raise toads. The villagers will not respond, and no one will get a penny."
Is it really impossible to do anything?
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't believe it. He only believed that man defeated nature. The sudden large-scale death of a forest frog on the forest was by no means an inexploratory technique.
I thought so in my heart, but didn't say that, but just remembered it and talked to Lao Lu about other things, about the land reclamation of mountain farmland and the life of villagers. I chatted casually, and didn't go to Lao Lu's home. I followed him around the mountain by the river. I walked around the nearby farmland and learned about the basic situation here. It was not just a matter of laziness, but this land was not suitable for agricultural land.
Mu Jun refused Lao Lu's advice to leave with satisfaction. He didn't say anything else about this trip. He once again believed that what he had learned in-depth could be true. Looking at the information, the villagers of Gouwazi Village were lazy and did not open up the mountains and forests. What's the reality? Lao Lu said it thoroughly, not to mention the difficulty. Even if it was really bloomed, it was not suitable for planting, and it was completely useless.
Grandpa Zhuo is right. If you become an official, you should be an official of the common people. If you want to be a good official of the common people, you have to go among the common people.
