The dividend distribution meeting in Babaoliang Village is over, but the impact has just begun!
Unlike last year's dividend meeting, which only caused a sensation in surrounding villages, this year's dividend meeting caused a shock far beyond Zhou Yang's expectation.
Since Babaoliang Village has opened its doors for "business" this year, it actively invites people from other villages to come to the village to watch the ceremony.
There were enough people coming to watch the ceremony that day, so that night, news related to it spread to more than a dozen nearby villages.
However, this was just the beginning. Just when everyone was hotly discussing the 280 capitation fee in Babaoliang Village, the Saibei Province News also reported this matter the next evening.
When the TV showed the scene of Babaoliang Village guarding the "money mountain" and distributing money to the members, all the viewers in front of the TV were stunned.
Everyone has seen scenes of large groups sharing money, but this is the first time we have seen such a arrogant scene.
What's more, this kind of thing happened in a small village that can't be found on the map, which is even more incredible.
With the support of TV news, the entire Saibei Province soon knew that there was a Babaoliang Village in Yunshan County, and that members there who did not participate in labor could receive 280 yuan plus two thousand kilograms of head food.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion across the province.
In this era when everyone is pursuing food and clothing, such news is undoubtedly more attractive, and many people are curious about Babaoliang Village.
As a result, media such as Saibei Provincial TV Station, Saibei Provincial Daily, Workers' Daily, etc., which caught the hot topic, rushed to Babaoliang Village to conduct on-the-spot interviews with this little-known mountain village.
Zhou Yang had also anticipated the arrival of these people, so he had Wang Ping and others prepare to receive them early.
He told Wang Ping and others that no matter what level of media they came from, they must receive them with all their heart and never neglect them.
Secondly, apart from Xipo’s research institute, we cannot tell outsiders about anything else in the village, especially the raising of pigs and chickens, which must be vigorously publicized.
With Zhou Yang's arrangement, follow-up reports about Babaoliang Village soon appeared on the radio and newspapers.
For a time, Babaoliang Village became famous!
At this time, Zhou Yang asked someone to let out the news that Babaoliang Village itself was short of manpower and planned to absorb one or two villages and merge them into this area for development.
All people from other villages who are incorporated into Babaoliang Village will receive the same treatment as people in this village, just like the educated youths who were accepted by Babaoliang Village last year.
As soon as the news came out, many people couldn't sit still and came to Babaoliang Village to inquire about the news.
Zhou Yang is well aware of the habits of the people in the village. You must not be anxious about this kind of thing. If you act too eagerly, then they will think that you have ulterior motives, and it will be the turn of those from other villages to take advantage of it.
Therefore, he asked Wang Ping and others to agree on the same statement when communicating with these people: This matter is true, but the specific number of villages that will be incorporated into Babaoliang Village is still under discussion. Let me tell you again.
After getting the affirmative answer, more than a dozen villages around Babaoliang Village were moved.
For them, this is undoubtedly a piece of cake in the sky.
After all, the development of Babaoliang Village is obvious to all. Looking at their respective villages, it is really hard to describe.
The better villages can barely provide for food and clothing, and some villages can't even provide food rations. If Babaoliang Village is really willing to take them to play together, it will really be smoke coming out of their ancestral graves.
For a time, production captains and even clan elders from each village came to Babaoliang Village to find someone to intercede. They approached Wang Ping, Li Fengnian, Zhang Genwang, and some even came directly to Zhou Yang.
There is only one purpose, and that is to join Babaoliang Village!
After a few days of commotion like this, Zhou Yang felt that time was almost up, and immediately asked Wang Ping to summon the captains of the 15 production teams in the other 7 villages affiliated with the Babaoliang Brigade to the brigade headquarters for a meeting to discuss the matter.
........
Babaoliang Village. Brigade Headquarters!
The brigade headquarters was particularly lively today. The large conference room that had not been used for a long time was cleaned out, the stove was lit, and a pot of water was sitting on it.
There were twenty or thirty old farmers in coarse cloth in the room, smoking cigarettes and talking among themselves.
"Lao Yang, you are in luck this time. No. 5 Village is the closest to Babaoliang Village. If I were them, I would take your village first!"
"Lao Ma, your little Huangtu Village is not far from Babaoliang Village, and there is hope!"
"Oh, I just don't know how many villages they plan to ask for. If they only want one or two, then we will be in trouble. After all, you know the situation in our village!"
"It depends on what Party Secretary Wang and that Zhou Zhiqing decide. We can only listen to them!"
"Who says it's not..."
Just as everyone was talking about it, there was suddenly a sound of "tapping" footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, several village cadres from Babaoliang Village were seen walking in from outside, and the leader was the famous Zhou Zhiqing.
After entering the conference room, Zhou Yang and others immediately sat down on a row of stools in front.
Then, Wang Ping looked around and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, let's get started!"
Although Wang Ping's tone was very calm and he was smiling, for some reason, Lao Yang and Lao Ma were very nervous.
"I believe everyone knows that Babaoliang Village is ready to accept other villages for joint development. Today we have gathered everyone to talk about this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Yang from Da No. 5 Village couldn't wait to say: "We Da No. 5 are willing to do it, whatever the conditions are!"
"We in Zuojia Village are also willing!"
"We in Xiaohuangtu Village are also willing to do so, and we can also transfer money..."
.........
Seeing everyone's eagerness, Wang Ping immediately pressed his palms and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone, just listen to what I have to say first!"
Everyone fell silent immediately, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Ping, for fear of missing any important information.
"I understand everyone's mood, but merging villages cannot be decided casually, so some things are better explained clearly in advance!" Wang Ping said.
"Party Secretary Wang, are you planning to accept a few villages? Do small villages like ours, Yanjiadian, with only a hundred or so people, have a chance?"
"Party Secretary Wang, if our Dawu No. 5 is merged into your Babao Liang, will we move to your village or continue to live in our village?"
"Party Secretary Wang, I just want to ask if our village will be divided into money and food the same as your village after it is merged with yours..."
Wang Ping was about to stand up and speak, but saw Zhou Yang standing up on his own initiative.
He looked around the conference room for a week, and then said: "Let me say a few words. There is only one way for our Babaoliang Village to accept other villages, and that is to merge."
"First of all, make it clear that our purpose of merging villages is to develop the economy quickly, not to rule and exploit the people of other villages. So once the villages are merged, everyone will belong to the same village, and all villagers will benefit from each other regardless of each other. The treatment is naturally the same!"
After hearing this, everyone was somewhat relieved. They were worried that they would be second-class citizens after joining Babaoliang Village, which would be uncomfortable.
With Zhou Yang's words, the biggest doubt in his heart disappeared.
At this time, Zhou Yang continued: "After the villages are merged, a joint village committee will be established. This joint village committee will not be entirely decided by Babaoliang Village. Some representatives of the newly merged villages will also become members of the joint village committee." Cadres, from now on, all major and minor matters in the village will be decided by the joint village committee through discussion!"
"This includes things that everyone is concerned about, such as how to allocate resources, whether to live in the original village or move to Babaoliang Village, etc. In short, Babaoliang Village sincerely welcomes you to join us!"
After a brief silence, Zhang Jianlin, the production captain of Zhangjiacun, stood up and asked: "Zhou Zhiqing, I would like to ask, how many people does your village plan to accept this time, and what are the standards?"
"Currently we only accept applications from the production teams under our Babaoliang Brigade. As long as they are from our brigade, we will not accept applications from villages outside the Babaoliang Brigade for the time being!" Zhou Yang said.
"So all our villages have a chance?"
"right!"
"Well, our Zhangjiacun will be the first to apply!" Zhang Jianlin said loudly.
"Count us in the Fifth Village!"
"We in Zuojia Village also want to apply!"
"And our Ruanjia Village..."
