Chapter 55 Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains
Soon, Qi Tongwei arrived at the wasteland in front of him.
The origin of Qicun’s future planting base.
The wasteland has been simply surrounded by a fence by Qijia Village, and many of the stones inside have also been cleared away.
There is a thatched shed at the entrance, where Qi's father usually sleeps to look after this vibrant orchard.
Although it will take several more years for the fruit trees to truly grow and be harvested, the seedlings alone are a considerable fortune, and Father Qi still cares about them very much.
The villagers also know what this means, so they will arrange people to come and stand guard.
The peach and plum saplings were spaced at equal distances, in a neat and uniform pattern, swaying in the breeze.
These saplings are all high-quality varieties that Qi Tongwei asked Wu Huifen, a friend in the agricultural department, to get.
Most of those planted in March have survived.
For farmers, there is no systematic experience, but since they are all planting, it is the same as planting grain, so it is always right to apply fertilizer and remove pests.
Seeing that the growth was good, Qi Tongwei felt relieved, stretched himself, remembered that he had not signed in today, and opened the system again.
"Sign in."
"Sign in [Blue] Liang Tiande, Friendship: 1"
Hmm? Liang Tiande? Do I really want to be related to him?
Liang Tiande, who is already 47 years old and a non-permanent deputy county magistrate, is in charge of departments such as water conservancy. To be honest, he cannot provide much help to Qi Tongwei.
After he graduates from university or passes the postgraduate entrance examination, Liang Tiande will probably retreat to the second line.
But it’s not bad to be able to sign in and get a blue point. When I delete it, at least it can be converted into 0.5 blue points, which is equivalent to days of sign-ins. It’s the best relationship of sign-ins in the past six months. It’s better than nothing.
After taking a stroll, Qi Tongwei, who had almost recovered from the aftereffects of sleeping on a big bed, walked home.
When he got home, County Magistrate Liang was already up, chatting with Qi's father.
Seeing Qi Tongwei coming back, Qi's father invited everyone to have dinner together.
At the table, everyone else was eating in silence, only the two of them were chatting non-stop. If Qi Tongwei hadn't stopped them, the two of them would have been ready to have a few drinks early in the morning. This guy doesn't act like an official at all.
After the meal, Liang Meng couldn't bear to lose face, so she dragged Liang Tiande to say goodbye.
Qi Tongwei thought Liang Tiande’s departure was the end, but unexpectedly it was the beginning.
Soon, the news of Qi Tongwei's return home spread like wildfire.
There was an endless stream of people coming to watch the fun, beg for money, seek marriage, or want to become in-laws.
Qi Tongwei underestimated the power of a millionaire in a poor area.
In the span of several days, he had already gained a thorough understanding of the rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and side branch families of the Qi family and Qi's mother's family over the past century, because that group of people had really brought the family tree with them.
Qi Tongwei deeply understood what it meant: If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.
I don’t know if this was the same scene when Director Qi became the Director of Public Security.
A bunch of relatives for no reason gave Qi Tongwei a headache.
Especially, since he asked for help before they had even chatted for a few words, Qi Tongwei would not tolerate this bad habit and directly chased him away.
It seems that moving needs to be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be disastrous.
He wants to be Governor Qi, Secretary Qi, not Director Qi.
Who knows when these distant relatives may become the knife that attacks you.
Unable to bear the harassment, Qi Tongwei picked up his backpack and left Qijia Village.
Qi Tongwei had never really understood the background of this era. The source of information was just fragments of information in TV dramas or novels.
As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It is also necessary to investigate the customs and culture of Handong.
...
The heat wave rolled in and the dust filled the sky.
Li Dakang's mood was even more anxious and irritating than the weather in June.
This time, he made a promise in front of his old leader Zhao Lichun that Jinshan County must be removed from the label of a poor county in Handong.
If he succeeds, Li Dakang will have a bright future.
If it fails, even Zhao Lichun might have to stay where he is for a few years.
Jinshan County and Yantai County are adjacent to each other, but they belong to different regions.
Yantai County is under the jurisdiction of Yantai City, while Jinshan County is under the jurisdiction of Luzhou City.
The situation in Jinshan County is even poorer than that in Yantai County.
Although Handong Province is a large plain province, it also has a certain proportion of mountainous areas.
So, as the name suggests, Jinshan County is famous for its mountainous terrain.
The mountains rise one after another, making it impossible for common people to go out and difficult for outsiders to come in.
The people even had to borrow salt from each other, not to mention other things.
Li Dakang knew very well that the way to change all this was to open up a path to the outside world.
It's just that the summer is hot and the construction progress is extremely slow.
The jeep bumped along the way and arrived at a construction site. Unlike other construction sites, which were bustling with activity, there was no one in sight.
Li Dakang picked up the loud speaker and shouted, "Old Tao, Old Tao, where are all the dead people?"
A thin figure rushed down the hillside beside the road.
"County Magistrate Li, I'm here, I'm here."
"Lao Tao, why don't people in your village work?"
"County Magistrate Li, the villagers have been working for most of the day and are exhausted. The sun is scorching hot right now, so I'm afraid they will get heat stroke, so I asked them to take a rest first."
Li Dakang became furious and started cursing at the thin and dark old village party secretary in front of him.
"Lao Tao, do you still have any organizational principles and party spirit? Is it time to rest now? Ah! Hurry and move."
Secretary Lao Tao begged, "Chief Li, I also want everyone to move. For the past month, everyone has been here since 5 a.m., at dawn, to pave the road. Except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, they have not stopped for a moment. Even a strong man can't stand it.
The sun is so strong now that everyone can't stand it, so let them take a break. When everyone has more energy, they can work more efficiently. "
"I say, Lao Tao, are you getting old and confused? Have I not explained myself clearly enough? Do you think that only the people in your village are tired and others are not?
I tell you, you must mobilize your villagers right now and get to work quickly. If you delay the progress, I will hold you accountable!"
Secretary Lao Tao had no choice but to mobilize the villagers who were resting in the shade to continue working.
Li Dakang also wants everyone to have a good rest, but he doesn’t have much time left for himself.
Everyone said that Li Dakang had connections and could get money from the province, but this money was all loans approved by Zhao Lichun from Jingzhou City Bank. Every day of delay would result in an additional day of interest.
Moreover, Zhao Lichun was taking a huge risk by approving such a sum of money.
As for some people saying that the whole county raised funds to build the road, that is a joke. People even have difficulty getting salt, so where can they get the money to raise funds?
Li Dakang had no choice but to keep rushing the deadline and cutting costs.
Every point reduced now will leave one more point for future construction and development.
Seeing that the villagers had returned to their posts and started working, Li Dakang, with a gloomy face, got on the jeep and went to the next construction site.
