Me! A high-ranking official!

"Just now, the villagers raised two tasks, and together with the one I planned in the office this afternoon, they will be the three core tasks for next week!"

He held up three fingers and clearly summarized to the camera: "First, the issue of elderly care and resettlement for some left-behind seniors; second, the issue of the regular operation of village clinics; and third, which is also my personal plan, the issue of the self-circulation of village collective assets!"

Seeing that some people in the live chat were confused about the third word, he patiently and thoroughly explained it to everyone: "Let me explain this third point to you in detail. Folks, the issues of elderly care and medical care that you just raised are, in the end, huge holes that need to be filled with money. If we want to implement these good things that benefit the people and implement them well in the long term, we can't do without financial support."

"Where will this money come from? We can't always rely on others and ask for handouts, going to the county and town every day to beg for alms and relief! Those special funds and subsidies are only temporary and can't quench a lifetime's thirst."

Zhao Jianguo tapped his knuckles on the table, his eyes burning: "This requires us to come up with a solution ourselves! Just like the environmental bank we just built, from buying garbage to exchanging it for goods, and then selling the waste to earn the price difference, this is a small economic cycle."

"However, even if we calculate this small cycle to its absolute limit and do it to the extreme, the profit it generates can only support two or three sanitation workers in the village at most. But our village has several hundred people and dozens of impoverished households. This small cycle alone is far from enough. Our Luo Family Village must have more and larger industrial cycles!"

"Only by establishing a large-scale, self-sustaining system for our village collective, enabling it to truly generate its own revenue, can we have the confidence and strength to solve all the problems you have raised today! Only then can we create a more livable, workable, and prosperous new Luojia Village for our future generations!"

These insightful yet down-to-earth words instantly ignited the entire live stream, with a barrage of comments flooding the screen:

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study! The Party Secretary's way of thinking is so different from ours! We only know how to raise immediate problems, but the Party Secretary is thinking about how to solve the problems at their root and once and for all!"

"So Secretary Zhao was playing a long game! That's brilliant!"

"Secretary Zhao, if you can really accomplish this and lead our village to prosperity, I'll call you the Jiao Yulu-style secretary of our county!" "I can't wait! I look forward to an even bigger surprise from Secretary Zhao next week!"

Aside from the villagers, "Haiqingheyan," who had been lurking in the live stream, didn't post any comments, but Zhao Jianguo knew that Zhou Qingyan must have understood his grassroots governance concept about generating and distributing resources.

Seeing the screen filled with enthusiastic and hopeful comments, Zhao Jianguo smiled and announced, "Alright! The three key tasks for this week are settled! I will continue to follow up on the work that wasn't finished before, such as the follow-up installation of streetlights. Our second live broadcast on 'People Asking Questions' has now come to a successful conclusion! I look forward to more villagers participating next week so we can work together to build Luojia Village into a better place!"

Thank you everyone, please get some rest, goodbye!

With a smile and a wave, Zhao Jianguo pressed the button to end the live stream.

The moment the screen went dark, he let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back in his office chair.

He glanced at the backend statistics panel: total live stream duration: 35 minutes; peak concurrent viewership: 284!

This accounts for nearly half of the current permanent residents of Luojia Village! This shows that almost every household in the village has someone involved!

"It seems that my hard work over the past week has been quite effective, and I have truly gained the recognition of the people." A gratified smile appeared on his lips.

After turning off the live stream, he leaned back in his chair, stretched out his arms and legs, his bones making a slight cracking sound. He picked up his now-cooled water glass and took a big gulp, but his mind was already racing, planning the three major tasks he had just decided on this week.

To be honest, none of these three things are easy to solve.

First, there's the issue of elderly care, a major social problem that has been a focus of national attention and a persistent source of distress. How could a grassroots village secretary possibly solve it completely within a week? Moreover, the vast majority of the elderly people left behind in Luojia Village who need assistance have severely limited mobility and relatively poor family conditions. To be realistic, if they had even a little savings, they would have been sent to a nice nursing home long ago. Why would they have to endure these dilapidated old houses, causing him, the village secretary, so much headache?

This matter needs to be addressed gradually, and we need to find the right approach step by step.

But as for the second issue, the village clinic, after careful consideration, he felt that it was the easiest breakthrough point at present.

His hometown village was only a dozen miles away. He suddenly remembered that there was an old Chinese medicine doctor in his village named Yang Erxiu. Grandpa Yang was over sixty years old this year. He was a true example of the saying that the older a Chinese medicine doctor is, the more valuable he becomes. His medical skills were superb, and he was very famous in the surrounding area. Every day, people would come to him for treatment.

Yang Erxiu has a son named Yang Zhenhai. He grew up learning traditional Chinese medicine from his father and studied it in college. But now, Yang Zhenhai spends his days idly in the clinic, doing odd jobs and preparing medicine for his father, claiming that he is learning from his father's experience in preparation for taking over his father's job. However, his father is in his prime and is the main doctor, so it is not his turn to help.

The two villages are not far apart, and it only takes about twenty minutes to ride an electric bike during the day. Even if Yang Zhenhai travels back and forth every day, it won't take him long. Even if there is any inconvenience, he can simply have lunch at the village committee!

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction: "There's no time to lose, we should strike while the iron is hot. Let's make a trip tonight and get this settled!"

Actions speak louder than words, and he immediately went to the backyard to find an electric vehicle used by the village committee for patrols. He put on a jacket, rode off, and headed towards his hometown.

The rural roads were pitch black at night. Apart from the beam of light from the headlights, there were only endless fields of crops on both sides. The road surface was uneven and full of potholes, so he didn't dare to ride too fast. It took him almost half an hour of bumping around before he finally saw the lights of his hometown village.

Upon entering the village, he didn't even go into his own house; he turned a corner and ran, covered in dust, to the village clinic.
