"Let's make a fuss, keep making a fuss, and make it bigger. If you don't seek death, you will die!" Executive Deputy County Magistrate Ling Shenghua said excitedly.
"Chen Shaoping chose this time to go to the countryside. Whether intentional or not, at least he left a bad impression on the leaders of the municipal government!"
Ling Shenghua lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, but then he thought that the most powerful person in Jiangli City was the municipal party committee office.
If the Jiangli Municipal Government had some courage and could suppress the municipal party committee office and make Ling Shenghua the county magistrate, how could there be so much trouble in Rongjiang County?
"If the magistrate of Rongjiang County were Lao Tzu, Rongjiang County would already be prosperous!" Ling Shenghua was filled with emotion.
Chen Shaoping, who was working in Meicun Township, received a call from Zheng Qiyun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.
"Shaoping, I heard that the Rongjiang County Public Security Bureau investigated the racing gang and arrested the prince of Guoneng Group?"
Zheng Qiyun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, asked in a relaxed voice.
"That's what happened, Secretary Zheng!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"How's it going? Have you gained anything?"
Zheng Qiyun asked with concern.
"There is nothing gained so far!" Chen Shaoping answered truthfully.
"This National Energy Group has some background. Guo Lin, the chairman of National Energy Group, has a very good relationship with the provincial government. I heard that he is a classmate of Governor Gao!"
Zheng Qiyun made this call to Chen Shaoping with the intention of letting Chen Shaoping know the truth.
"I see, no wonder Mayor Shen came here to ask for someone in person!" Chen Shaoping said jokingly.
"Shaoping, if you want to move the National Energy Group, you must have sufficient evidence! We must make a solid case!" Zheng Qiyun said seriously.
"Don't worry, Secretary Zheng, if there is really a big move, I will ask you for instructions as soon as possible!" Chen Shaoping said.
After talking to Zheng Qiyun on the phone, Chen Shaoping returned to the specific situation of Meicun Township in front of him.
Meicun Township has almost become a typical left-behind township.
All you see on the streets of villages and towns are old people and children.
The terrain of the township is between two mountains, as if it is deliberately explaining "what it means to survive in the cracks!"
Lu Xingping, the head of Meicun Township, was very excited about Chen Shaoping's arrival.
"County Magistrate Chen, we in Meicun Township have nothing but stones. If stones can be sold for money like the coal mines in Heihe Town, we will definitely be able to get rid of poverty!"
Lu Xingping said with excitement and dancing.
"Township Chief Lu, based on this alone, you are stronger than the top leaders of the party and government in Longjingzi Township! They don't know what the advantages of the township under their jurisdiction are!"
Chen Shaoping first affirmed Lu Xingping's statement, and then continued: "However, just knowing that a stone can be sold for money is not enough! After all, it is a stone. Where is the shortage of stones? You Meicun Township has stones, but other towns do not. Stone? Unless the stones in Meicun Township are special than those in other places, right?"
"Yes, yes..." Lu Xingping's head was pounding like a chicken pecking at rice, "County Magistrate Chen, that's right!"
"Why is there so much population loss? This situation is much more serious than that in Longjingzi Township!"
Chen Shaoping asked, looking at the Meicun Township Street, which was in name only a township, but in fact looked like a dilapidated village.
"County Magistrate Chen, there is nothing we can do about this!" Lu Xingping pointed at the sky.
Chen Shaoping looked in the direction designated by Lu Xingping, and what he saw was a large dark green mountain.
Meicun Township is sandwiched between two mountains.
Chen Shaoping suddenly remembered the last time he fished in Duhai Reservoir and his head penetrated into Li Qiuyu's chest.
"These two mountains are really similar... Speaking of which, Meicun Township should be a happy place, with two such plump mountains..."
Thinking of this, Chen Shaoping couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Stone, then let's make a fuss about the stone. Then I will invite professionals to come and inspect your stone!"
Chen Shaoping said to Lu Xingping.
"Okay!" Lu Xingping said with emotion: "County Magistrate Chen, you don't know that in the past the most people in Meicun Township were stonemasons, and almost all of us in the older generation were!"
"What did these masons do with stones back then?" Chen Shaoping asked curiously.
"The older generation of stonemasons were making stone tablets for people. They were still very profitable at that time, but later on they started to use machines. The stone tablets that the craftsmen hammered out with hammer after hammer were indeed good, but the speed was slow and the price was high. It’s expensive, the style is old…and it will be eliminated soon!”
Chen Shaoping nodded after hearing this and said: "Being able to summarize the past is a very good work ability!"
The fat man Li Chunqiao dragged his fat body and followed Chen Shaoping for more than two kilometers on the mountain road. He was already panting from exhaustion and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Living in the gap between two mountains, only I and my children are left behind. The land is almost barren and has little development value. There are rocks everywhere..."
Chen Shaoping silently summarized what he saw in his mind.
“Can we really only rely on stones for poverty alleviation in such a place?”
Chen Shaoping sighed silently in his heart.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the Rongjiang County Government from Meicun Township. To Chen Shaoping's surprise, Executive Vice Mayor Shen Zhongsong and his party had not left yet.
Now that Chen Shaoping is back and Shen Zhongsong and others have not left, they must come over for a face-to-face meeting.
In He Jinbo's office, Shen Zhongsong was sitting on a large sofa, his face as sinking as water. Sitting next to him were Feng Xiangyong, secretary-general of the municipal government, and Xu Dingbang, executive deputy director of the municipal public security bureau.
As soon as Chen Shaoping walked in, he found that the atmosphere was not right.
"Mayor Shen, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would never have gone to the countryside!"
Chen Shaoping immediately extended his hand warmly to shake hands with Executive Vice Mayor Shen Zhongsong as soon as he entered the door.
Shen Zhongsong also stood up and shook hands with Chen Shaoping. Looking at Chen Shaoping with a gray face and a pair of black leather shoes that almost turned into yellow leather shoes, Shen Zhongsong couldn't help but sigh: "County Chief Chen, you have worked so hard. Poverty alleviation is the top priority. Besides, we are I also came here to inspect Tenaga Nasional Bhd..."
Chen Shaoping shook hands with Feng Xiangyong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and Xu Dingbang, Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.
"Mayor Shen, Secretary Feng, Director Xu are not leaving tonight, are they? Have a drink in Rongjiang County, there are so many delicious foods in Rongjiang County!"
Chen Shaoping said as he sat down.
"Alas..." Executive Vice Mayor Shen Zhongsong sighed, and said with some helplessness: "County Magistrate Chen, he was originally visiting the National Energy Group, but now Mr. Guo of the National Energy Group is still in the detention room of the County Public Security Bureau and cannot come out. , it’s hard for us to do it too!”
When Chen Shaoping heard this, he was secretly surprised: "The executive deputy mayor of Jiangli City has come forward, but this Guo Jinyang still doesn't give face? Isn't this a bit arrogant?"
