Li Rui deliberately estimated that from the moment they entered the county to the moment they left the county, there were no less than a hundred traffic police officers at all the intersections. In other words, in order to welcome the arrival of Song Zhaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Shuanghe County had mobilized more than a hundred traffic police officers on the surface. This did not include the number of leaders with administrative functions that had been mobilized from other places. Although this method was not considered a waste of manpower and money, it was still mobilizing a lot of people, which went against Song Zhaoyang's original intention. Song Chaoyang himself did not have any requirements for this. He just wanted to get to Jiupo Town as soon as possible to begin the investigation.
Of course, this kind of thing was not wrong. After all, it had been like this since ancient times. This was also for the sake of Song Chaoyang's safety and efficiency. It was not excessively extravagant and was still acceptable. In some places, there were some leaders who, in order to cater to their superiors, even ran to the border of the administrative region to welcome their superiors. This was to show respect and welcome, and the flattery could not be more obvious. Compared to them, Fang Qingyun was considered an honest lower-level leader.
From Shuanghe County to Jiupo Town, all the way from Shuanghe County to the north was a secondary rural road, which was a two-lane asphalt road in both directions. Although the road was not wide, it was enough for a county-level area. With the police cars in front to open the road, it could be said that the road was unimpeded.
In the first half of the road, it was still a plain terrain, and they passed by some ordinary northern villages with characteristics of the plain. In the second half of the road, after entering the mountainous area, the scenery suddenly changed. Nature began to show these visitors the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers. The Fairy River, which had flowed for thousands of years, opened up a wide river valley hundreds of miles long in the mountains. In ancient times, the mountain people opened up a winding mountain road between the foot of the mountain and the river, which was used to walk out of the mountains and communicate with the people in the plains. In modern times, the Shuanghe County government built a new two-lane asphalt road on the basis of the ancient mountain road, which made it convenient for the mountain people to travel. At the same time, it also laid the foundation for the opening of the Fairy Cave Scenic Area to the outside world.
The road was born because of the river, and the river was named because of the road. The two accompanied each other, crossing hundreds of miles of mountains and valleys, and also went through thousands of years of history together. Therefore, Song Chaoyang's so-called investigation of the poor villages along the Fairy River was in fact, to be precise, the investigation of the poor villages along the road that meandered into the mountains along the Fairy River. Today, this road had become lively because of the fame of the Fairy Cave scenic spot. Every day, who knew how many tourist buses and private cars from outside the province would drive on this road. The traffic flow was not inferior to any of the national roads in the province.
Now, Li Rui's Municipal Party Committee Car No. 1 was driving on this mountain road. On the right side of the road, which was also the northwest direction, was the rolling Taihang Mountains. Some of them towered into the clouds, some were flat like slopes, and some were isolated like needles. The whole road was nestled at the foot of the mountains, and many sections of the road directly cut through the mountains. On the left side of the road, which was also the southeast direction, was a wide river valley, and the Fairy River flowed in the river valley. Sitting in the car, on the right side, there were green mountains, and on the left side, there was a long river like a belt. The scenery was beautiful and outstanding, and it made people feel very comfortable and carefree.
As the saying goes, "The benevolent enjoy the mountains, while the wise enjoy the water." However, when Li Rui saw this landscape, he felt that he liked it very much. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Was he a benevolent person or a wise person? Was it a combination of both?
When the car reached Jiupo Town, Fang Qingyun, who was leading the way, ordered the driver to stop. After getting off the car, he trotted to the Municipal Party Committee Committee Car No. 1.
Li Rui knew that he wanted to talk to Song Chaoyang, so he hurriedly got off the car and opened the right rear door.
Fang Qingyun smiled at him, walked to the back door, and asked Song Chaoyang, who was sitting inside, "Secretary, we have arrived at Jiupo Town. Should we rest in the town first, or start the investigation directly?"
Like Li Rui, Fang Qingyun knew how to address Song Chaoyang. When they met in private, he would call him Chaoyang to show their closeness as an old classmate. In public, he would call him Secretary to show their difference.
When Song Chaoyang heard this question, he didn't immediately answer. He looked at the road ahead through the windshield and saw that there were some houses and farmhouses in the distance, but they were quite sparse. He said, "What's the nearest village in front? Is it a poor village? " Fang Qingyun said, "The one in front is Yang Village. It's a poor village, but there are very few residents in the village. Some moved, and some moved. Currently, there are only a dozen families left, and they are the ones on both sides of the road. When the county implemented poverty alleviation, they were included in Dawangzhuang Village, which is further ahead. " Song Chaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Go back and get in the car. We will start the investigation when we arrive at Dawangzhuang Village."
Fang Qingyun nodded and was about to leave when Song Chaoyang stopped him and pointed to the dozen houses in Yang Village in the distance. He said, "Yang Village only has a dozen houses. The population and the size of the village can't increase. It's difficult to develop, and it's inconvenient to implement poverty alleviation. Moreover, I see that these houses are sparse and dilapidated, and a bit ugly. Your county can consider moving the entire village to Dawangzhuang Village in front. Of course, if they don't like to live in the mountains, they can also be moved to the towns around the county. As for the empty houses after they move away, after replanning and redesigning, they can be made into public infrastructure such as parking lots, public toilets, and tourist hubs for tourists to park there. Of course, this is only a suggestion. As for how to operate, your county leaders can discuss and come up with the best plan. In short, we only have one goal, and that is to let all the poor people in the mountains escape poverty and become rich, and become well-off as soon as possible. "
Fang Qingyun smiled and said, "I've been to Jiupo Town so many times, but I've never thought of this problem. Secretary, you're so perceptive. You've only been here once, and you've already discovered this problem. You've even proposed a solution, which has benefited me a lot. When I go back, I'll gather all the team members to discuss this problem and see if we can rely on it to develop a new form of poverty alleviation. While taking into account poverty alleviation, we can also better develop the tourism resources on the route to Fairy Cave. "
Song Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand. He said, "Qingyun, we're all on the same side. Don't flatter me. Hurry up and get in the car. We'll be tight on time today."
After another seven or eight miles, they arrived at Dawangzhuang Village. At this point, both the city and county teams stopped. All the leaders got out of the car and began the official investigation.
Li Rui followed behind Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, Luo Bin, Wang Yaocai, and other leaders. They went to meet up with the Shuanghe County leaders led by Fang Qingyun. This time, Shuanghe County sent many county leaders. Needless to say, Fang Qingyun, the county's deputy secretary, executive deputy county head, publicity director, secretary general, deputy county head in charge of poverty alleviation, deputy county head in charge of tourism, and so on. There were seven or eight people, and almost all of the county's standing committee members were brought.
Of course, these county leaders wanted to shake hands and talk to Song Chaoyang. At the very least, they wanted to get familiar with him. Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders also had to take care of their faces, so they had to shake hands and exchange greetings. Therefore, the city and county leaders gathered in a small parking lot at the entrance of Dawangzhuang Village. They shook hands and exchanged greetings.
Li Rui stood obediently at the side and watched these leaders go through the motions with a smile on his face. At one point, he suddenly felt that there were two fiery eyes staring at him from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised and turned to look, only to see that behind Fang Qingyun and the other county leaders, there was a slim and outstanding person standing in the cadre of Shuanghe County. Her eyes were staring at him without blinking. Looking at her face, he saw that she had a beautiful face with delicate features. Especially those eyes, which were narrow and beautiful. They were indescribably charming and seductive. Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat. He was surprised and happy. It was her? Why was she here?
That woman was Zhang Wei's cousin, Zhao Chun. At a previous banquet, Zhang Wei specially brought her to the city to have dinner with Li Rui. Li Rui and her chatted very congenially. They admired each other and more or less developed some feelings for each other. Although Li Rui did not have any evil thoughts about her, he still wanted to see her again. However, he did not expect to see her again so soon. Moreover, they met in the research team in the countryside. He was happy but puzzled. Why did she appear in the research team? On second thought, it was not strange for her to appear in the research team. She was from the Shuanghe County government. Since the county magistrate, Fang Qingyun, came to accompany Song Chaoyang for the research, it was inevitable that several staff members from the county government would follow. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to be called. However, he was not sure whether Fang Qingyun called her because of work or because she wanted to have lunch with him at noon.
When Zhao Chun saw him looking over, her expression was a little shy, as if she was a thief who was caught. However, she still smiled at him. Although her smile was not big, he could see that she was very happy.
Li Rui did not dare to smile at her for fear of being seen by outsiders. He only nodded slightly. He thought that it was good that she was also in the research team. It was a pity that he did not have a chance to spend some time with her in private.
