Qi Tongwei opened the car door and got out. He took out fifty yuan from his pocket and threw it into the car. "That's fifty yuan. If you say one more word, I'll make you pay for it!"

Perhaps realizing that the tall Qi Tongwei was not someone to be trifled with, the driver had no choice but to put away the fifty-yuan yellow-green ticket in disappointment.

He can earn forty out of the fifty, but it is his habit to ask for a high price, and the more he can, the better.

Watching the taxi leave, Qi Tongwei immediately covered his mouth and nose. He didn't expect such a big fuss in Jinshan County.

The passing large trucks, tractors, and even wheelbarrows were like ants moving house, stirring up clouds of thick dust, while the people on the road were sweating profusely in such an environment.

It will take decades before the construction standards are met.

Qi Tongwei came to Jinshan County because of the reminder of Liu Ming, the head of Jinping Township.

When Liu Ming mentioned that the nearby Jinshan County was carrying out drastic road construction, Qi Tongwei calculated the time and realized that this was the work of Li Dakang.

Only Li Dakang, Zhao Lichun's chief secretary, could raise so much money.

In a sense, Jinshan County is Zhao Lichun's face project.

Zhao Lichun is Li Dakang's resource, and Li Dakang is also a resource for Zhao Lichun to become a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.

Both are betting.

This can also explain why Zhao Lichun appeared after the problems in Jinshan County. He is the second-in-command of Jingzhou, and although he has the title of deputy provincial governor, Luzhou has little to do with him. Why is he so nervous? There must be a story behind it.

Qi Tongwei didn't come here to find out the truth. He wanted to see if he could get to know these three big guys and find an opportunity to make his presence felt.

The sign-in principle of the system is that the two people must have met each other.

It is not easy for ordinary people to meet a leading cadre. Now that there is a ready-made opportunity, Qi Tongwei still wants to give it a try. This is one reason.

Another reason was that Qi Tongwei also wanted to know more about Li Dakang.

Director Qi suffered such a great loss at the hands of Li Dakang, he cannot make the same mistake again.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

I won’t cry at the grave this time. I want to see if you, Li Dakang, can still jump over the hurdles.

The ambitious Qi Tongwei had no time to boost his fighting spirit before he immediately became like a deflated ball.

After asking passers-by, I found out that this is not Jinshan County at all. It is at least ten kilometers away from the county.

Damn! I got ripped off by the taxi again!

Qi Tongwei had no choice but to ask for directions and walk forward with his backpack on his back.

He wanted to stop a tractor or a truck to give him a ride, but this group of people were driving so fast as if they were being chased by something.

I had no choice but to follow the traces of road construction and walk step by step towards Jinshan County.

From his observations along the way, Qi Tongwei had to admit that Jinshan County was really poor.

This kind of poverty is only on the surface. Everyone is ragged, pale and thin, which is obvious at a glance.

"Hey, hey, that kid!"

As he was observing carefully, he heard a shout from behind and Qi Tongwei turned his head to look.

A jeep was following slowly behind him, with a young man with a crew cut pointing at him with a loud speaker.

Qi Tongwei looked around and pointed at himself.

"Yes, I'm talking about you."

Noticing Qi Tongwei's decent attire and ruddy complexion, unlike the lazy villagers who ran away, Li Dakang's expression eased a little: "Who are you?"

Qi Tongwei felt vaguely familiar with the young man with a crew cut, and a name immediately popped up in his mind.

Li Dakang!

"Hello, leader. I am Qi Tongwei, a student at Handong University. I would like to take advantage of the summer vacation to learn about the local customs and features of various places in Handong."

"Han University student?"

"Correct."

“It’s okay to understand, but don’t stay in the construction site.”

"I understand, leader. I want to go to Jinshan County, but I can't stop a car. Can you give me a ride?" Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to strike.

"No, I have something else to do." Li Dakang refused without thinking, then waved his hand, and the jeep sped away like an arrow, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Puh, puh, puh." After spitting out the dust from his mouth, Qi Tongwei had no choice but to continue on his way.

Fortunately, Qi Tongwei was in good physical condition and exercised regularly. After more than two hours, he finally reached the county seat of Jinshan County.

The roads in the county town are also a busy scene, with all kinds of materials coming in and out.

Everyone was walking in a hurry, so much so that Qi Tongwei once thought they were preparing for battle.

It was not until almost sunset that we saw large trucks carrying full loads of people returning to the county town. Then, as if the pause button had been pressed, the entire Jinshan County fell into silence.

After asking around, I found out that these were people who were building a road nearby. They would return to the city to rest at night. If they were from far away, they would just set up camp on the spot.

There are many mosquitoes in the summer and Jinshan County is full of mountains and forests, so camping outside is obviously not a good choice.

No matter what time, we can only be swept away by the times and be passive!

Qi Tongwei found a place to live in the county town, and every day he observed the deployment arrangements of Jinshan County.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from others' experience, and it is time for reform and opening up, as poverty alleviation is currently the top priority.

If Qi Tongwei wants to enter the ministry quickly in the future, experience in governing a region is essential, especially in the area of ​​poverty alleviation, which is an ironclad ZJ.

Over time, Qi Tongwei's "idleness" and wandering around also attracted the attention of some people.

Li Dakang is very diligent in visiting construction sites, and Yi Xuexi is just as good as Li Dakang.

This is not the first or second time that Yi Xuexue has seen Qi Tongwei.

The other party's confidence and curiosity, which were unique to this era, aroused Yi Xuexi's interest, and he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Comrade, are you from this county?"

"Uh, I'm not. I'm from the University of Han University."

This sign has been tried and tested, so Qi Tongwei used it again.

When he heard the word "Handong University student", Yi Xuexue became interested because he graduated from Handong University.

"Oh, so what are you doing here?"

"My home is in the neighboring Yantai County. I heard that Jinshan County is doing a lot of construction, so I wanted to come and learn from it."

Hearing Qi Tongwei's answer, Yi Xuexi nodded. He already regarded Qi Tongwei as a kindred spirit, a young man with ambitions to serve the country and the people.

At this time, college students are guaranteed jobs, and many are assigned to various government units.

Those who are willing to come to this difficult environment to study must be people who want to achieve something in the future.

Chapter 57 Disagreement

Yi Xuexue was impressed, "What level are you at? What's your name?"

"Qi Tongwei, you will be a sophomore soon."

"Qi Tongwei, I've seen you several times these days. I wonder what you've learned?"

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "I did gain a little."

"Tell me."

"The Jinshan County government has strong organizational capabilities. It is not easy to mobilize so many people to work hard."

Yi Xuexi nodded. This was all thanks to Li Dakang, who mobilized people day and night.

"Well, it's not all the county government's credit. It's also because of the people's yearning for a better life. One generation suffers, and three generations benefit."

"Your words are profound. One generation suffers, and three generations benefit. For the sake of the future of future generations, leaving the suffering to oneself is the unique love that Chinese people have for their children. However..."

"But what?"

“It would be better if the construction progressed a little slower.”

“Isn’t it bad to progress too fast?”

Qi Tongwei pointed at the people working and said, "Look, there are quite a few elderly people and women here. Although their work is much easier than that of middle-aged people, it is far beyond their ability to endure such an intensity.

As far as I know, your project will take at least another month to complete. With the intensity of working for up to twelve hours a day, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted before you finish the work.

It is the hottest summer of the year, and the only way to prevent heatstroke is to drink one or two bowls of bland mung bean soup every day, which is far from enough. "

If you think about it carefully, you will find that there is indeed such a risk.

"We are poor in Jinshan County. I managed to get this mung bean porridge with great difficulty."

"You? Don't you know who you are?" Qi Tongwei asked knowingly.

Who made this county party secretary, the top leader, ride a bicycle? Li Dakang, on the other hand, was riding the only jeep in the county.

If I didn’t know, I would have thought Li Dakang was the top leader.

"Oh, I'm Yi Xuexue, secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee." Yi Xuexue took the initiative to extend his hand.

The two men were not much different in age. Yi Xuexue had only been graduated for a few years when he was sent here in a time of crisis.

"It's Secretary Yi. Hello, Secretary Yi."

"What secretary or not? We are of similar age. What's more, I also graduated from Handong University. So I am your senior. You can call me Lao Yi." Yi Xuexue did not have the airs of an official.

"Really? That's what a coincidence. I'll call you Brother Yi." Qi Tongwei was naturally willing.

If he could sign in, Qi Tongwei would most like to sign in with Yi Xuexi, and the person he would least like to sign in with is Li Dakang.

Both of them have their own principles, but Yi Xuexi takes the people and national laws as his principles, and always puts the people first in his heart.

Li Dakang is different. On the surface, he puts the people first, but in fact, he is a person who pursues power, political achievements and official positions.

Li Dakang was delayed in becoming a member of the provincial standing committee several years because a corrupt deputy mayor of Lincheng was removed from office, investors fled on a large scale, and the economy declined.

Later, when Ding Yizhen of Jingzhou was removed from office and the city was at a critical moment of progress, he thought of suppressing the matter in order to avoid repeating the same mistake.

These people are all his subordinates. Under the surveillance of the extremely controlling Li Dakang, doesn't he understand what these people are doing? And he turned a blind eye to it. The real reason is obvious.

Qi Tongwei had to admit that on this point, he and Li Dakang shared the same idea.

As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter who is used or how they are used.

And the most important point is that Li Dakang only cares about himself. For the sake of his official position, he can abandon his leaders, wife, and subordinates. He is a wolf that cannot be tamed in Zhao Lichun's mouth.

Therefore, Yi Xuexue, who is capable of economics and has pure talent, is the partner he needs most.

"Tongwei, I have also thought about the problems you mentioned, but you don't understand the real situation. Eighty percent of the funds for our road construction come from loans from Jingzhou Bank.

Every day that passes, the people of Jinshan County have to bear more debt, so they have to hurry. The most important thing is that Jinshan County has already made an agreement with many investors that if the road is completed this year, they will settle in Jinshan County, otherwise they will settle elsewhere. "

Qi Tongwei frowned. This was a problem. Would he be able to do better if he faced such a situation?

The answer is no. The most important thing about this issue is Zhao Lichun. If he is slow in one step, he will be slow in every step. The higher-ups can't wait.

The two chatted for a while, and Yi Xuexue invited Qi Tongwei to inspect construction sites in various places together.

The perspective of a county party secretary is rare and valuable, and Qi Tongwei gladly accepted it.

As the construction progressed, time quickly entered late July, commonly known as the dog days of summer.

In this kind of weather, the situation became even worse. People suffered from heatstroke every day. Several dilapidated ambulances from the county hospital directly served as fire brigades, traveling to various construction sites.

Yi Xuexi also realized that this would cause big problems, so he calculated the time and proposed at the Standing Committee meeting to shorten the working hours from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., shortening the original twelve hours to eight hours.

If Jinshan County’s infrastructure was not so poor that it could not provide effective lighting equipment, the time could be changed to work at night and rest during the day.

"No, it will delay the construction period. According to this working time calculation, it will be delayed by at least half a month. In case it rains and blows again, the delay will inevitably affect the autumn plowing." Li Dakang objected decisively.

The time period for road construction had been calculated long ago. People were busy with farming in the spring, and only had one or two months to wait for the first harvest, and all this was done by snatching food from the mouths of the people.

Because the people would take advantage of this period to plant some vegetables or something, and if it affects the autumn ploughing, the people would point at Li Dakang's head and curse him.

They all know that building roads is a good thing, but the premise is that it does not affect their stomachs.

Yi Xuexue said excitedly: "Li Dakang, do you know how many people are admitted to the county hospital every day? The wards in the county hospital are almost full. If this continues, it will cause a mass incident. Neither you nor I can bear the responsibility!"

Yi Xuexi also wanted to repair the road as soon as possible, but he knew that the people were already overwhelmed.

Li Dakang was even more excited. “I know, of course I know, and I also know that if it is not repaired quickly, we will have to wait another four or five months, or even until next year due to heavy snow.
