Li Rui naturally didn't know the twists and turns in the man's mind. Seeing that the man had already seen his work permit, he put it away and said, "Can you let me go in and look for Mayor Wu now?" The man looked embarrassed and said, "Uh … you … you …"
Li Rui saw that the man was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, but he still didn't let go of him. He was secretly impatient and was thinking about how to belittle him without being heard by outsiders. Then, he saw the Executive Deputy Mayor, Jia Yulong, come out of the courtyard.
Jia Yulong had a phone in his hand and put it to his ear. He seemed to be making a call. When he saw Li Rui, he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Li, hurry up and go in and accompany Mayor Wu. I'm going out to make a call. Don't worry about me …" As he said that, he started to make a call. He walked quickly, brushing past Li Rui and out of the courtyard in a few steps.
With his words, Li Rui didn't care about the obstacle in front of him anymore. He walked around him and went inside.
He quickly found Wu Nan in the innermost part of the courtyard. He found that the beautiful mayor was listening to the poor family's master talk about the poverty alleviation program. Fang Qingyun, Zheng Yuanfang, and the director of the Shuanghe County's Poverty Alleviation Office were with her on her right, but her left was empty. Originally, Jia Yulong and Robin should be on her left, but Jia Yulong had already gone out to make a call, and Robin, the Deputy Mayor in charge of poverty alleviation, was nowhere to be found. But this made a space for Wu Nan.
Li Rui didn't stand on ceremony. He walked a few steps to Wu Nan's left and slightly leaned half a step behind her. He put on a superior position and listened to the family's master talk about poverty alleviation with her.
Wu Nan didn't seem to notice that he was standing over. Her pair of elegant and awe-inspiring eyes were still staring at the face of the family's master in front of her. Her expression was very serious as she listened to the introduction of the poor family's management process.
Li Rui listened for a while and quickly understood the situation of this family. As it turned out, this poor family was one of the poorest in Shinan Village. The family of five relied on a few acres of land halfway up the mountain to survive. It was a classic example of relying on the heavens to get by. They could be considered as the poorest of the poor. However, the head of the family was ambitious. He didn't just sit around and wait. Instead, he actively wanted to change the face of poverty. For this reason, he worked everywhere and learned all kinds of skills to become rich. He also learned how to run a small business to see if he could start a small business. He also actively learned about the farming techniques of the mountain village from television and radio. After a few years like this, his horizons had broadened quite a bit. He also had a little plan in his heart, but he suffered from a lack of capital and could not start a business at all.
At the beginning of this year, the spring breeze of the city's poverty alleviation campaign blew into this poor village located in the depths of the Taihang Mountains. First, all levels of cadres were stationed in the village to carry out targeted poverty alleviation. Then, all kinds of preferential policies were implemented in the village. This family head took advantage of this great opportunity to apply for the latest mortgage-free and interest-free small poverty alleviation loans. He got a loan and started breeding otter rabbits. Breeding otter rabbits was a project with low investment, short cycle, quick results, and easy to learn. It could help the poor quickly increase their income and get out of poverty. It was recognized as an excellent breeding program for poverty alleviation. There was a saying that said, "If you raise three rabbits, you don't have to worry about rice, oil, and vinegar. If you raise ten rabbits, you don't have to worry about clothes, shoes, and cloth. If you raise a hundred rabbits, you walk on the road to riches." This family head chose to breed otter rabbits, which was equivalent to walking on a visible and tangible fast road to escape poverty and become rich.
In the end, this family head said excitedly, "I have already signed an acquisition agreement with Qingyang City's Rabbit Industry Association through the county's Poverty Alleviation Office. When this batch of otter rabbits is out of the market, they have agreed to buy them at a price of not less than ten yuan per catty. This way, I will be able to earn at least six thousand yuan. Not only will I be able to pay off the loan, but I will also be able to buy another batch of breeding rabbits … However, I don't plan to pay off the loan. The loan hasn't expired yet. I plan to build a fifty square meter steel otter rabbit breeding shed in the courtyard. At the same time, I will buy another thirty breeding rabbits and expand the production. This way, by the end of the year, my annual income can break through fifteen thousand yuan … "
Wu Nan smiled and nodded. "You are right to think this way. Don't be in a hurry to pay off the loan. The circulation of money can create more value. You have to grasp this good opportunity and use the money where it is needed. Strive to get rid of the poor hat on your head in one fell swoop."
After introducing the basic situation, this family head took the initiative to take Wu Nan and the others to visit a simple brick and wood structure otter rabbit breeding shed in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
After Wu Nan started walking, she seemed to be talking to others and also seemed to be talking to herself. "It seems that Qingyang City is not only at the forefront of the province in terms of poverty alleviation, but also lags far behind other cities in terms of the formulation and implementation of various poverty alleviation policies."
After saying this, she glanced sideways and intentionally or unintentionally looked at Li Rui who was accompanying her on her left.
Li Rui looked at her and found that her expression was gentle and peaceful. Her eyes were extremely calm and there wasn't the slightest trace of strangeness. Only then did he understand that she already knew that he was standing by her side, but she didn't make any reaction. From this point, he could see that she was a shrewd, calm, and generous mayor. Seeing that she was looking at him, as if waiting for him to comment on her words, he said, "Mayor Wu may not know, but in fact, before this poverty alleviation campaign was launched, which was last autumn, Qingyang City's poverty alleviation policies and methods were still at a relatively closed and backward level. I once worked in a poverty alleviation pilot village for a period of time. Through my personal experience of poverty alleviation, I found that the existing poverty alleviation policies and methods were almost unable to fully benefit the poor. Take this poor family as an example. They want to get rid of the hat of poverty by engaging in breeding, but they don't have the capital. This was almost an unsolvable problem in the past … "
When Wu Nan heard this, she interrupted with interest and asked, "Doesn't the county have the Poverty Alleviation Office? The Poverty Alleviation Office will allocate the province's special poverty alleviation funds to the poor villages. Why do you say it's unsolvable?"
Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "The county Poverty Alleviation Office can indeed apply for, adjust, and allocate special poverty alleviation funds, but the target is usually the poor villages, not the specific poor families. The people who can represent the poor villages are the two village committee cadres. All poverty alleviation projects and poverty alleviation funds are also dealt with by the cadres of the Poverty Alleviation Office. As a result, how can the poor families easily get poverty alleviation funds? Now, why do we talk about targeted poverty alleviation? It's because we've changed the previous extensive poverty alleviation method for the entire poor village to the current detailed poverty alleviation method for specific poor families. If the previous poverty alleviation method was like letting a flock of sheep and only keeping an eye on the sheep was enough, then the current poverty alleviation method is to treat each sheep as a pet. "
He only said a few words, but it revealed his familiarity with the Poverty Alleviation Office, poverty alleviation work methods, and detailed problems. He also used vivid examples to point out the difference between the previous poverty alleviation method and the current one, making it easy for people to understand. After Wu Nan heard this, she looked at him deeply with a hint of approval in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Continue."
Li Rui continued, "When I was experimenting with poverty alleviation in the poor villages, I encountered a similar problem. Obviously, the poor families had the enthusiasm and need to start a business, but they suffered from not having the capital. At that time, I also had a headache. I felt that the various poverty alleviation policies in our city … in fact, in our province, were too simple, closed, and conservative. It was already difficult to adapt to the needs of poverty alleviation in the new era. Then, I went online on my phone and looked up the latest poverty alleviation policies in other provinces and cities. In the end, I didn't know if I didn't check, but when I checked, I was shocked. It turned out that Qingyang City's poverty alleviation work had fallen behind for so long. At that time, I reported this situation to the secretary, and the secretary immediately called a meeting of the standing committee to discuss the solution to this problem very seriously. In the end, they promoted the implementation of various preferential policies and implemented them. Now, in our Qingyang City, it's easier for the poor to get a loan. Not only can they apply for a small amount of credit from the credit union, but they can also get a loan from the credit union. They can also apply for project support funds from the county's Poverty Alleviation Office Project Unit. They can also get a loan from a guarantor with a continuous income … Just this point alone has helped countless poor families on the road to poverty alleviation. "
As the two talked, they had already walked to the entrance of the otter rabbit breeding shed.
Wu Nan smiled at Li Rui and said, "So, the one who first created these good policies is you!" Li Rui hurriedly waved his hands and said modestly, "No, no, it's not me. I just copied the advanced experience of other provinces and cities. I didn't create it, I just took it."
Wu Nan found his words interesting and smiled, but didn't say anything. She lowered her head and bent her waist as she went into the breeding shed.
Her appearance was beautiful, and her temperament was elegant and noble. She had the elegance and confidence of a leader. When she smiled, her smile was like a flower, and there was a bit of elegance in it. It was very charming. Li Rui saw this and his heart was moved. He thought that this female mayor was really beautiful.
After Wu Nan went into the shed, it was the turn of the two county leaders, Zheng Yuanfang and Fang Qingyun, who were accompanying her. Li Rui stopped and waited for the two leaders to go in first.
Zheng Yuanfang and Fang Qingyun were both discerning people. They had already seen Li Rui talking to Wu Nan. They didn't know that this was the arrangement of the executive deputy mayor, Jia Yulong, and thought that it was the idea of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Song Chaoyang. How could they dare to overstep their boundaries? They also stopped and smiled as they invited Li Rui to go in first.
Li Rui was polite to the two county leaders. Seeing that they insisted on him going in first, and thinking about his job, he didn't hold back and bowed as he walked in.
