Director Zhao nodded. "I can consider it, but I'm afraid no one will do it. Scorpions are not easy to raise. Once they get sick, a bunch of them will die. That would be a huge loss. "Li Rui said," A huge loss? What kind of capital do you need to raise scorpions? There are so many scorpions in the village. I think it would be no problem to catch a few hundred or a thousand. If anyone in the village wants to raise them, I can hire insect breeding experts from the city or the province to train them. " Director Zhao said respectfully, "Director Li is such a warm-hearted person. Let's see if anyone in the village wants to do this. This time, we plan to join forces with the county postal savings bank and set up a mutual aid foundation to provide small loans. Whoever wants to do breeding can get a loan from the foundation. The county will fully support it. "
After the meeting, they did not find any good way to help the entire Little Dragon King Village escape poverty and become rich. They only established a few major points. For example, the county could set up a mutual aid foundation to provide low-interest or interest-free loans to the poor. If the poor wanted to start a small business like individual breeding, then this foundation would be no different from a ready-made small treasury for them. Another example was to set up an industrial project cooperative. Ten or more poor families would set up a cooperative, and everyone would contribute money and effort to become rich together. Another example was to set up a poverty training class to train the poor in the ways of poverty alleviation and self-help skills.
As for Ai Guowei and his group of four from the Municipal Transportation Bureau, they did not establish any methods to help the poor. They planned to study the village for one or two days first, and after they had a full understanding of the situation in the village, they would then carry out targeted assistance.
After the meeting ended, the crowd dispersed.
Li Rui was very dissatisfied with this meeting. The situation he learned was basically what he had learned before, and no one had brought up anything that made his eyes light up. It seemed that poverty alleviation and development work was not that easy to do.
He stood dejectedly in the yard without moving. At this time, Ling Shuyao walked over and asked, "What are we going to do next?" Li Rui said, "Like Ai Guowei and the others, we'll walk around the village first to understand the basic situation. Maybe we can find the crux of the problem and come up with specific measures to help the poor. Do you have any good ideas? "Ling Shuyao said," Me? What good ideas can I have? Don't count on me. I'm just here to be your assistant. " Li Rui wasn't happy to hear that, but he smiled and said, "Director Ling, please don't say that. You're just a deputy director. I don't dare to use you as my assistant." Ling Shuyao said calmly, "Even if you don't dare to use me, I'm here anyway. "Don't worry, use it...
From her words, Li Rui could tell that there was something wrong with this person's brain. At the very least, she was thick-skinned. Since that was the case, there was no need to lower himself to her level. He smiled and said, "Your injury …" Ling Shuyao said, "It's almost painful. It's like being stung by a hornet." Li Rui said, "You have to be careful no matter where you go in the future. There are too many scorpions in this village." Ling Shuyao said, "I'm going to buy a bottle of radar spray first." Li Rui asked in surprise, "Why do you want that?" Ling Shuyao said, "Before I go to the latrine, I'll spray everywhere. If there are scorpions, I'll spray them to death first. Humph." Li Rui laughed in spite of himself, "That's for spraying flies and mosquitoes, can you spray scorpions to death?" Ling Shuyao said, "Who cares, I'll spray them first."
As the two of them were talking, Wang Tiekui came back with an honest looking man. He introduced him to Li Rui, "Director Li, this is Shi Dayong, who lives opposite the village committee. He just built a new house this year. The old house hasn't been demolished yet. I've discussed it with him and decided to let the two of you live in his old house. What do you think?" Li Rui didn't want to live with other people, so he didn't want to be woken up at night. He asked, "Are the old house and the new house in the same courtyard?"
Shi Dayong shook his head and said, "No, the new house I built is behind the old house. There's a courtyard in each house. The old house originally belonged to my brother, but it was moved out when the family split up. Later on, his family moved to the county, so he gave the old house to me. It's actually another house. "Li Rui was very satisfied when he heard this. He said," Let's go and take a look. "
Wang Tiekui said, "Dayong, you take Director Li and the others to take a look."
Shi Dayong led Li Rui and Ling Shuyao out of the village committee. There was an alley diagonally opposite. After walking for about ten meters, they saw a newly built tile-roofed house.
Shi Dayong pointed to the tile-roofed house and said, "This is my new house." He then pointed to a short and shabby old brick house in front of them and said, "That's the old house."
The three of them walked to the courtyard of the old house. Shi Dayong took the two of them to look around. He told them where to get water, where to go to the bathroom, where to cook, and where to take care of their meals. He then brought them into the house.
The old house was not big. There were two rooms in total. It was the same style as the village committee's north house. The central room was for guests to eat, and the western room had a kang for people to live in.
Li Rui looked at the only kang in the house and frowned. He and Ling Shuyao were men and women. Only one of them could sleep on the kang. Then where would the other person sleep? Shi Dayong looked at the two of them and asked, "Aren't you a couple?" Li Rui joked, "Do you think we look like husband and wife?" Shi Dayong said, "Do we look like husband and wife?"
Ling Shuyao heard this and glared at him.
Shi Dayong laughed and said, "Yes, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. If you don't look like husband and wife, then what do you mean?" Li Rui said, "You're joking. Ling Shuyao and I are colleagues." Li Rui nodded and asked, "How long will you be staying?" Shi Dayong asked. Li Rui thought for a while and said, "At least a month. Let's calculate the monthly rent." Shi Dayong said, "One thousand RMB!" After saying this, he nervously looked at the two of them.
Li Rui thought to himself, 'Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city with ten times better conditions would only cost a thousand dollars a month. This seemingly honest man actually dares to ask for it. He's really asking for an exorbitant price. Turns out he's not honest at all.'
He did not say anything. Ling Shuyao did not say anything either. He made the decision.
Shi Dayong saw that Li Rui did not say anything. He laughed and said, "One thousand is a bit too much. Then … then five hundred. How about five hundred? It includes a room and a courtyard, plus a single bed. I will also set up a blanket for you. How about that? " Li Rui felt that five hundred RMB was still a bit expensive. But considering that both of them would have a place to stay, he did not bargain. He nodded and asked, "Let's pay one month's rent first. Do you want to pay now? Give me a receipt. "Shi Dayong laughed and said," Okay, wait here. I will go find a pen and paper. "After saying this, he excitedly ran away.
Ling Shuyao snorted and said, "We traveled a long way to help them. They should take care of our food and lodging. Now they want us to pay for a room. That's too much." Li Rui said seriously, "What you said makes sense. I also feel that the local government should take care of our food and lodging. But Little Dragon King Village is a poor village. I don't think they can take out the money to provide for our food and lodging. Hanshui County should be responsible for this. I have to write this problem in the poverty alleviation summary report and report it to the Song Shuji. When the poverty alleviation campaign is officially launched, the local government will take care of the food and lodging of the city's poverty-alleviation cadres. The county magistrate can save money by eating two fewer meals. "
Ling Shuyao looked at his serious expression, as if she didn't know him. She opened her eyes wide and looked at him carefully. "You really want to do a good job in this poverty alleviation program?" Li Rui was puzzled. "Why do you ask? Since the Song Shuji sent me here to take care of the poverty-alleviation work, of course I have to do it well. " Ling Shuyao looked at him in disbelief and said, "If you do well, you will be the Song Shuji's secretary. If you don't do well, you will be his secretary. What does the wealth of this place have to do with you? When you return to the city, you will still be the head of the secretary department. Why do you have to be so serious? "Li Rui laughed and said," Do you think I came all the way here just to put on a show? "
Ling Shuyao said, "Wasn't that what you thought?" Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "If it was just for show, why would I have to run to this poor village and live for a month or even longer? Big sister, you are wrong! I am under the orders of the Song Shuji. I am sincerely carrying out poverty alleviation work. The success or failure of the poverty alleviation pilot program will directly affect the success or failure of the city's poverty-alleviation campaign. I have to devote myself to it and do my best to get it done. I also hope that you can help me with the relevant work. " Ling Shuyao finally realized that Song Chaoyang's poverty alleviation program and future poverty-alleviation campaign were not just for fun. They were also not for show to the provincial leaders. They wanted to effectively fight the poverty-alleviation battle. She was slightly unprepared and was stunned for a moment. Then she said, "If you have something to do, just make the arrangements. I will try my best to help you."
Shi Dayong quickly found a pen and paper from home. The paper was grid paper and the pen was a pencil. At first glance, it was obvious that it was a child's school equipment. Li Rui took out five large banknotes from his wallet and handed it to him. He also wrote a receipt on the spot. This house was considered rented. There was no rental contract or anything like that. With Wang Tiekui, the village party secretary, as the middleman, there would not be any problems on either side.
After that, Li Rui and Ling Shuyao went back to the village committee to get their luggage. Shi Dayong also went back home to pack two blankets and a single bed.
