From collapsing rooftop to poverty alleviation village chief

After dinner, Lin Ye went to the village committee and called Liu Ming using a landline.

The call connected quickly. Liu Ming seemed to be swallowing, his voice muffled, "Xiao Lin, what's up?"

Lin Ye said, "Director Liu, are you still eating? Should I call you back later?"

"Fine, you've already called, why would I let you hang up? Just say what you need to say." Liu Ming swallowed the food in his mouth.

Lin Ye didn't really intend to hang up, and immediately recounted the situation of the entire village's investigation over the past two days.

The Zhang family was mentioned in particular.

After listening, Liu Ming remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Ye said, "The people in Qiongyu Village are complicated. What I know now is probably not all of it. As it stands, Village Chief Zhang and Liu Ying have taken advantage of their authority in the evaluation process."

"The amount of money the villagers raised to build the reservoir two years ago was not much, and we haven't received the accounting books yet, so there is no substantial evidence."

"The old village chief probably had no hope of Qiongyu Village being lifted out of poverty, so he tacitly approved of Zhang Dafu's behavior and even did not refuse Zhang Dafu from giving him things."

"As for the other villagers, most of them are afraid of poverty and used to it. When I, an outsider, come to help them get out of poverty, they can't accept it."

Liu Ming laughed and said, "That's right, you've only been there for three days, but you've already done the work of others for three months."

This "other person" refers, without a doubt, to the two previous college graduate village chiefs.

Lin Ye continued, "Director Liu, there aren't many capable people in Qiongyu Village right now. I think for the time being, we can only let Zhang Dafu continue as the deputy village head."

Liu Ming said, "You and I think the same way. As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, he's still useful to the village. But what about the other village officials?"

"Director, I was just about to report to you," Lin Ye continued.

"I've noticed a problem with the Qiongyu Village Committee: all the village officials are from the Zhang and Liu families, and even the women's director and village accountant don't seem to understand their responsibilities. I think it might be a good idea to replace some of these positions."

Liu Ming laughed, "You're already trying to seduce someone after only three days? Aren't you afraid of making things difficult for yourself later?"

Lin Ye laughed along, "Director, you're joking. Changing village officials requires the county government's approval; it's not something I can decide on my own."

"You little rascal, you want the county to take the blame for you, huh?" Liu Ming was speechless. At first, he thought Lin Ye was a passionate and simple-minded young man, but he didn't expect this guy to have such a cunning side.

He wanted to replace the village officials, but instead of doing it himself, he wanted the county to issue the document directly so that the replaced village officials wouldn't blame him.

But changing village officials isn't that simple.

"Xiao Lin, the village cadres of Qiongyu Village were recommended to the county by Zhang Dafu and Chen Yonggui. We all know the situation, but there really wasn't a suitable person in Qiongyu Village, so the county decided to let them do it for now and find a suitable candidate when the new village chief arrives. As a result, the first two village chiefs were transferred after serving for a short time."

Lin Ye laughed. Director Liu was quite eloquent, describing being fired as being transferred. He didn't point it out and just agreed.

"The leader is very thoughtful."

"Alright, stop flattering me. Tell me, how would you like to change it?"

Lin Ye thought for a moment and said, "Except for Zhang Dafu, everyone else needs to be replaced."

Liu Ming was somewhat surprised. "Didn't you say that Zhang Xiaoshan has been helping you the whole time these past two days? Are you going to replace her as the head of community security?"

Lin Ye smiled and explained his idea. Liu Ming said, "Your plan is not bad, but you need a reasonable reason to change people. Otherwise, even if the county issues a document, it may not be convincing."

"I understand, Director."

Then he talked about his idea of ​​"living off the land he lives off," and Liu Ming sighed.

"Xiao Lin, actually, the previous two village chiefs had already tried this idea, but they faced many difficulties. I've summarized them, and there are at least four difficulties: difficulty in finding resources, difficulty in judging the value of resources, difficulty in collecting and developing resources, and difficulty in monetizing and transporting them."

Perhaps fearing that Lin Ye would suffer a loss, Liu Ming explained in detail.

"Qiongyu Village is surrounded by three mountains: Yunwu Ridge, Beiguo Mountain, and Laoying Rock. They are truly towering mountains, and it would take at least several days to walk through them, let alone find resources with development value."

Even if you find it, such as jujubes, mushrooms, or other things, it's difficult to determine its value.

"Even if it has value, organizing a team to go deep into the mountains is quite difficult, and it would be even more difficult to develop it systematically."

"Even if you manage to gather the materials and bring them down the mountain, how to transport them out and where to sell them are still problems."

Liu Ming paused, then earnestly reminded him, "The person before you went into the mountains for two days, picked ten catties of mushrooms, carried them back to the county, and sold them for less than two hundred yuan. He almost got injured in the process. Xiao Lin, you need to think this through."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director, I have a way."

Of the four difficulties Director Liu mentioned, the first two can be solved using the encyclopedia function. As for collection, development, monetization, and transportation, he also has solutions.

"Alright, since you're confident, go ahead and give it a try, but be careful, the mountains are no joke."

"Yes, Director!"

Zhang Dafu's family.

"What? That pretty boy dares to threaten you! I'm going to deal with him!"

Liu Yaozu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face flushed from drinking.

Tonight, Liu Ying invited Liu Zhaodi and Liu Yaozu to her house for dinner and talked about Lin Ye's visit during the day.

Upon hearing that Lin Ye dared to threaten his sister with the reservoir's account book, Liu Yaozu immediately went to confront Lin Ye.

Liu Ying quickly pulled him back, "He's been sent down from the county, after all. Besides, what if he becomes your nephew-in-law in the future?"

Liu Yaozu nearly sobered up, and Liu Zhaodi was also shocked. "Sister, do you mean to let Xiaoshan marry Village Chief Lin?"

Liu Ying took a bite of corn and said with a smile, "These past two days, Xiao Shan has been following Lin Ye around. I think they get along quite well. Instead of going against Lin Ye, why not treat him as our junior?"

Liu Zhaodi's eyes lit up. "Sister, that's a great idea!"

Liu Yaozu drank another glass of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "Sister, we can't let Lin Ye know about Xiao Shan's affairs outside."

Liu Ying glared at him. "Do you even need to tell me?"

Liu Zhaodi asked, "So, will Xiaoshan go with him up the mountain tomorrow?"

Liu Ying also mentioned that Lin Ye was going into the mountains to find treasure.

"Anyway, I can't stop him, so let Xiaoshan go with him. A lone man and woman in the deep mountains, maybe they'll make it work?"

"Hey, who's getting together with whom?" A burly woman walked in from outside.

Liu Yaozu frowned. "Zhao Chunyan, why did you come in without saying anything?"

Zhao Chunyan sat down directly, grabbed a boiled corn cob and started eating it, then said to Liu Ying:

"Sister Liu, if you want Lin Ye to be your son-in-law, you'd better be careful. He has an affair with Widow Qin!"

Liu Zhaodi sneered, "Zhao Chunyan, we all saw you causing trouble at Widow Qin's house this afternoon. Village Chief Lin and Qin Guifen are completely innocent."

Zhao Chunyan glanced at her. "Innocence? The night before last, I saw Widow Qin sneak into Lin Ye's room, wearing her most provocative dress!"
