Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 218 To be rich, build roads first

These things were told by Wang Biao to Zhao Lei. Since he investigated Liang Junping last time, Wang Biao has been secretly following his movements.After knowing these things, Wang Biao was also secretly surprised. If it was said that what happened to Liang Junping had nothing to do with Zhao Lei, he would never believe it.

But Wang Biao would never say that in front of Zhao Lei, but he was more respectful to him, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

For Zhao Lei, Liang Junping is completely to blame.If this guy hadn't harassed Chen Lan several times, Zhao Lei wouldn't have targeted him.

And Zhao Lei was also very satisfied with the outcome of this matter. Hei Scar's attack was more ruthless than he imagined, and he actually drove Liang Junping out of Guangyue County.But this is of course a good thing for Zhao Lei, at least he doesn't have to worry about Liang Junping coming to harass Chen Lan again.

There are still a few days until the Lantern Festival, and the village plans to seize the time to elect a new village chief while all the villagers who have gone out to work are there.

Wang Chenggang is still in the detention center. It is said that the public security department has found a lot of evidence of his crimes. He must be in prison for several years. The position of the village chief has nothing to do with him in his life.

There were also four candidates for the village head election. Apart from Li Zhen whom Zhou Jun had mentioned to Zhao Lei, there were three other candidates.What surprised the villagers the most was that one of Wang Chenggang's nephews was also running for the village head, and many people secretly scolded the old Wang's family for being shameless.His uncle has made the village such a disaster that he still has the face to run for the village head.

Under the notice of the village cadres, the villagers all came to the village committee and began to vote for the new village head.

Before the voting began, Fang Xujie, the village secretary, approached Zhao Lei and asked him if he was interested in running for the village head.

In fact, everyone knows why Wang Chenggang fell from power.With Zhao Lei's relationship at the top, if he wanted to be the village chief, the others would have no hope at all.

Knowing that Fang Xujie had good intentions, Zhao Lei still firmly refused: "Secretary Fang, I really never thought about running for the village head. I just want to be able to run the fairy gourd company well and I am satisfied."

Fang Xujie took it seriously and said: "You're right, being the owner of the fairy gourd company is much more interesting than being the village chief, so I'll say hello to them, and the village chief election will officially begin!"

Unlike previous elections dominated by Wang Chenggang, this election is quite fair.By secret ballot, votes are cast for four candidates, and the results are counted and announced on the spot, with no chance for anyone to cheat.

In order to make the voting results more authoritative, the village committee also specially asked Zhao Lei to supervise the vote counting process, which is considered well-intentioned.

The village accountants and clerks count the votes for the candidates in front of everyone.

As expected by Zhao Lei, Wang Chenggang's nephew had the least number of votes, only a mere ten or so votes.It seems that apart from myself and my family, no one else voted for him.

The one with the most votes was Li Zhen, whom both Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun were optimistic about. He got more than [-]% of the votes alone, and he deservedly became the new village head of Sanhe Village.

The village chief is a cadre after all, and Li Zhen, who had just been elected, was also a little excited. He said a few words in front of the whole village, expressing that he would work hard and be a fair village chief, and he would never let everyone suffer.

After Li Zhen's election speech, the election work was over, and the villagers were about to go home, but Zhao Lei said: "Please wait a moment, I have something to discuss with Village Chief Li, and I just want to ask for everyone's opinions." .”

In today's Sanhe Village, Zhao Lei's prestige is no less than that of the village cadres, even Li Zhen, who has just been elected as the village head, is not as good as him.After hearing Zhao Lei's words, the villagers who had just stood up sat down again, wanting to hear what new ideas he had.

"As you all know, the scale of Xianhu Company will become bigger and bigger, and the shipment volume will definitely increase a lot in the future." Facing the villager Zhao Lei, he talked eloquently: "But the concrete road connecting the village and the national highway is really not good. If there are more large trucks, I really don’t know what will happen.”

The villagers all took Zhao Lei's words seriously. The road condition on that road was getting worse and worse, which caused a lot of trouble for everyone to travel. The village really should take care of it.

Li Zhen frowned and said: "Our village road is really not good. It took more than 100 million yuan to build the road and it was built like this. I don't know how much benefit Wang Chenggang has gained."

Fang Xujie said in a deep voice: "This road should be repaired, but right now there are only tens of thousands of yuan left in the account of the village. Such a small amount of money is not enough at all."

When it came to the question of money, everyone was silent, only Zhao Lei said with a slight smile: "That's why I ask everyone to stay. I'm willing to pay to renovate this road without using a penny from the village."

Zhao Lei's words immediately caused a commotion, and all the villagers were happy, even Li Zhen was also full of joy.

In this way, the travel problem that has plagued the villagers for a long time can be solved without spending the village's money, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

However, some people had some doubts about Zhao Lei's words. Fang Xujie, who was mature and prudent, couldn't help reminding him in a low voice: "Xiao Zhao, road construction is not a trivial matter, and it will cost a lot of money. Your company is also engaged in construction at the moment, and the funds... ..."

Zhao Lei Fang Xujie smiled slightly and said: "Secretary Fang, don't worry, I know it well. As long as everyone agrees, the road construction project will start as soon as possible."

Road construction is something that is beneficial to everyone, not to mention that the village does not need to pay a penny. Of course, no one objects to this.The villagers quickly reached a consensus and expressed their support for Zhao Lei's road construction.

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Since everyone thinks that building roads is a good thing, let's talk about my conditions. First, I want to expand the road into two lanes, enough for two trucks to pass side by side, which will make it easier for everyone to travel. "

No one has any objection to Zhao Lei's request, after all, the better the road conditions, the more convenient it is to travel.

But to widen the road, more land must be occupied. The new village head Li Zhen quickly thought of this, and after a moment of pondering, he made a decision: "This request is agreed in principle by the village, as long as it is really for road construction. I will never ask you to pay a penny for the land!"

"Village Chief Li is so happy!" Zhao Lei gave Li Zhen a thumbs up, and then continued: "There is one more request, I hope the village can give me the land on the back mountainside as a homestead, and I am willing to give up the original At the same time, he pays the village a rent of 2 yuan per year."

Zhao Lei's request made Li Zhen a little embarrassed. The land on the back mountainside was more than two acres, far exceeding the standard of an ordinary homestead.If someone brought this matter to the top, the village cadres would definitely be criticized.

But thinking of Zhao Lei building roads for the village for free, and the annual rent of 2 yuan, Li Zhen quickly made a decision, nodded to Zhao Lei and said, "No problem, I promise you!"
