Li Yu Lan replied, "County Head, I've already done the calculations. Every village will need around two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand to repair the roads, and two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand to beautify the courtyard walls. On average, every village will need around six hundred thousand to repair the roads. If we consider installing street lamps, garbage ponds, cultural plazas, and other public facilities next to the main roads in the village, we will need to invest another 100,000 yuan. Therefore, the final investment for each village will be around 700,000 yuan. "
Fang Qingyun frowned and began to calculate in his mind. How many poor villages would need such reconstruction funds, and how much would the total investment be? Could the county finance come up with so much money now? If they couldn't come up with so much money, how would they solve the problem of funding?
Song Chaoyang's words at this time resolved his worries. "The province has allocated a special fund this time, and it's indicated that part of the fund will be used for post-disaster reconstruction in the poor villages. Therefore, we don't have to worry about the source of funding for the reconstruction projects mentioned by Secretary Li. The county only needs to prepare the budget and preparation for this big project. "
Fang Qingyun didn't know about this, but he was overjoyed after hearing this. He thought that the province's fund came at the right time, and it solved the county's financial problem in a timely manner. With the support of this fund, the county must do a good job to make the county and the city proud.
Song Chaoyang invited Li Yulan to sit down, and they began to discuss a new problem. They wanted to choose one or a few poor villages as models to show the provincial leaders the current situation and results of post-disaster reconstruction.
Du Minsheng, Luo Bin, Fang Qingyun, and several other county leaders expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, Song Chaoyang decided to choose two disaster-stricken villages with the most convenient transportation, the largest villages, and the most obvious poverty alleviation effects. One was Guoshanyu Village, southwest of the town, located next to the Fairy River, northwest of Dawangzhuang Village. The other was Lingnan Village, northwest of the town, located at the foot of the mountain. These two villages represented two different causes of disaster, and were very representative.
At the end of the meeting, Song Chaoyang emphasized to Fang Qingyun and the other leaders of Shuanghe County the great significance of the "CEC". He asked them to put in as much effort as possible to complete the deployment and work mentioned above in less than five months. This would lay a solid foundation for the successful convening of the "CEC". It could also be considered a pre-war mobilization. Song Chaoyang attached great importance to this, so his speech was also very detailed. He even mentioned small details such as reward and punishment measures, so it took a lot of time. By the time he finished speaking and the meeting was over, it was already past the office hours. It was not even six o 'clock, and the sky was already dark.
Walking out of the meeting room, Fang Qingyun went to Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, and Luo Bin, and explained the arrangements for tonight. They would first take a car back to the county to enjoy the banquet. After the banquet, they would rest for the night in the county and return to the city early the next morning. After all, they had been running around for a whole day, and everyone was very tired. If they rushed back to the city overnight, they would be even more exhausted. Moreover, they couldn't do anything if they went back, so it was better to rest nearby and return early the next morning. It wouldn't affect any work.
Song Chaoyang was very happy with this arrangement. He had been walking, thinking, and talking today. He didn't rest at noon, so he was already very tired. He really didn't want to rush back to the city, not to mention that he might be able to meet Zhang Wei in the evening. Naturally, he didn't want to go back. However, he didn't rashly make a decision for Du Minsheng and Luo Bin. Instead, he asked for their opinions, "Minsheng, Luo, what do you think of Comrade Qingyun's arrangement?"
Luo Bin was quite a casual person. When he heard this, he smiled bitterly and said without hesitation, "Speaking of this, I don't care what you two think. Anyway, I don't want to rush back overnight. I'll listen to Mayor Qingyun and stay in the county for the night. If I don't stretch my old waist, it will break."
Song Chaoyang smiled and looked at Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do when I go back. Then I'll rest in Shuanghe."
Song Chaoyang made a decision and said to Fang Qingyun, "Qingyun, in this case, you can arrange it as you see fit. Don't be too particular. It's fine as long as there's a place to rest. In addition, don't be too extravagant for the banquet. Shuanghe is still a poor county. Money should be spent on the right things. "
Fang Qingyun nodded repeatedly and turned to the director of the county government office to make the arrangements. In fact, he had already made the arrangements. The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders would stay for the night. Now that it was confirmed, he only needed to let the director of the county government office inform the people in charge of the relevant units.
A group of people walked out of the small building and said goodbye to the town leaders in the courtyard. Then they got into their cars and returned to Shuanghe County along the way. Before leaving, Li Rui didn't find a chance to be alone with Li Yulan. He could only look at her and say that they would meet again in the future.
After an hour or so, the motorcade arrived at Shuanghe County when it was dark. After entering the city, they directly drove to the only four-star hotel in the county to have dinner. The Shuanghe County Government also had a special reception unit, which was the government guest house. However, the standard was a little low. Even Fang Qingyun, the County Magistrate, didn't like that place. Naturally, it wouldn't be suitable to receive a top city leader like Song Chaoyang. Therefore, Fang Qingyun arranged for the banquet to be held in this four-star hotel. At the same time, she planned to arrange for Song Chaoyang and the rest to stay here after the banquet. This was also a convention for receiving provincial and city leaders.
There were still five tables for the banquet. The order of everyone's seating was exactly the same as during the lunch banquet. This was also one of the benefits of a banquet. Everything had to follow the rules and would never be messed up.
Before the banquet, Li Rui didn't wait for Zhao Chun to call him and went to the washroom to wash his hands. If he waited for her to call him again, it would be hard to say what would happen in the eyes of the other officials. Some of them might get jealous and start fantasizing about it. They might even start rumors and create trouble. That would be meaningless.
Coincidentally, when he came out to wash his hands at the public sink, he happened to run into his precious daughter, Yao Xuefei. The two of them looked at each other but didn't talk. As there were other people waiting beside them, they just washed their hands slowly and didn't leave immediately.
Seeing that the people around them left one by one, Li Rui asked softly, "Are you guys going to stay tonight too?" Yao Xuefei shook his head and said, "After the banquet, we have to rush back tonight. We still have to get up early tomorrow morning to work on the editing of today's video." Li Rui felt bad and said, "Can't you get someone else to do it? Why do you have to do it yourself?" Yao Xuefei said bitterly, "I can't help it. Who asked me to be in charge of this work? I don't feel at ease letting someone else do it. If something goes wrong, it's my responsibility." Li Rui sighed and said, "Then tell the driver to drive slower when you go back. Don't rush. Be careful when you drive at night …"
The two of them exchanged a few words. Li Rui left the washroom first and returned to the private room. Yao Xuefei waited for him to walk a distance before going out. There was no choice. In public, one had to pay attention to the distance and behavior. If one didn't pay attention, someone else would do it for them. However, they had to pay a heavy price.
Outside the private room, Li Rui unexpectedly saw Zhao Chun who had just walked out. When he saw her, he couldn't help but think of the joy of hooking up with her. He also remembered that she said at noon that if he stayed the night, she could come and talk to him in private. He felt a burst of happiness and asked softly, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Chun widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in surprise and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm looking for you. Where are you going?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me?" Zhao Chun said, "Everyone has sat down except for you. Our director asked me to come out and look for you." Li Rui smiled and said, "There's no need to look for me. Go in." Zhao Chun nodded and turned back to the private room.
The dishes at the banquet were many times better than those at the luncheon. After all, one was a farmhouse restaurant in town and the other was a famous four-star hotel. The difference in the quality of the dishes was like heaven and earth. There was also more wine than the luncheon. The wine was also very high-end. The white wine was from the National Cellar, the red wine was Great Wall Dry Red, and the beer was Tsingtao Beer. All of them were the best in the country. There were also young and beautiful waitresses waiting on the side. The private room was filled with elegant incense. The room was decorated with gold and jade. The scene was luxurious and beautiful. The entire banquet could definitely be called a luxurious feast.
Everyone was originally exhausted and listless, but after eating in such an environment, they quickly regained their energy and vigor. Everyone toasted each other and chatted happily. The atmosphere was warm and lively. The fatigue from before seemed to have been swept away.
Li Rui was the most prominent person at the banquet. From the beginning, he was the focus of attention. Starting from the county office director, almost everyone gave him a toast. Even Zhao Chun held a beer and gave him a toast. Li Rui couldn't help but return the toast one by one. After this round, even if he didn't want to drink, he drank a lot. Of course, he wasn't drunk yet. He was just a little tipsy. However, his mind was still clear and he could still think about things.
"Director Li, let me give you another toast!"
Zhao Chun didn't know if he was deliberately teasing him or because of other considerations. He had already drunk two glasses with him, but before the banquet ended, he raised his beer glass and gave him a toast.
