Rebirth as an official

The old branch secretary took out a bottle of Jian Nanchun, but this time Li An sternly refused.

"Old party secretary, our township government was notified by the Commission for Discipline Inspection a few days ago. My name is clearly listed on the documents. Now I don't dare to drink."

The old party secretary also heard about this matter, so he no longer forced Li An and the three of them. However, he always felt that there was something wrong with eating or not drinking, which made the old party secretary a little uncomfortable.

Originally, the old party secretary wanted to ask Li An to do something through drinking, but now that he doesn't have the medium of drinking, he doesn't know how to ask for help.

Li An saw the old party secretary hesitate to speak, so he smiled and said: "Old party secretary, do you have something to say, but it doesn't matter."

The old party secretary blushed when Li An saw through his thoughts, rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "Head Li, I heard that you set up an edible fungi cooperative when you were in Fuqiang Village."

"Well, that's right, I made one." Li An picked up a piece of ribs and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"I heard that the fungi grown can be sold for a lot of money. Do you think we can let our village learn this technology?" The old party secretary expressed his thoughts.

Li An laughed a few times after hearing this and made fun of the old party secretary.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the old party secretary's meal was not for free."

The old party secretary laughed a few times, took a few sips from the tea cup to hide his embarrassment.

"You can go to Liu Changfa about this matter. He is the legal representative of the cooperative." Li An gave advice.

"I went to find him. That old man picked his head very hard and didn't tell anyone about it, for fear of taking away his business." The old party secretary said a little depressed.

Ang Lee can also understand Liu Changfa's approach.

The edible fungi cooperative has never expanded production due to limited conditions. The villagers in their own village have not yet solved the poverty problem, so how can they think about helping others.

This means that the butt determines the head. If Li An were still a cadre stationed in the village, he would definitely refuse.

It's the same reason that Zhou Yang wanted to put an edible fungus planting base in the countryside a few months ago, but Li An sternly refused.

But now that Li An is the head of the township, his perspective is naturally the economic development of the entire township, and he can no longer limit his vision to one village.

After Li An thought about the old party secretary's request, he said slowly: "The township will make overall arrangements for the cultivation of edible fungi. I plan to scale up and industrialize this edible fungus. Old party secretary, don't worry."

After Li An said these words, he could clearly see the disappointment in the eyes of the old party secretary.

Xu Kai asked curiously while gnawing on a big chicken leg: "Old party secretary, didn't your village make money growing grapes? Why are you thinking about growing fungi again? You think you don't make enough money."

The old branch secretary sighed and said: "People outside seem to think that our village makes money from growing grapes, but in fact we don't make much money. Costs, transportation, taxes, etc. are all mixed up. The villagers' income is very limited, which is no more than farming." It’s just a little better.”

Sun Gouzi, who was sitting next to him and had been eating the food without making a sound, couldn't bear it anymore.He started shouting: "Uncle Zhong, what does he have to hide?"

"Director Sun, is there anything else going on here?" Qiu Yating asked.

She could tell that this Sun Gouzi was a straight-tempered person who would say whatever he wanted. He would say whatever the village party secretary didn't want to say.

“Every time it’s time for our grapes to be harvested, the township cadres come to the village in the name of inspection. The inspections come one after another. All the money we spend on growing grapes goes to you officials. " Sun Gouzi said.

"Sun Gouzi, pay attention to your wording, Mayor Li and others are different." The old party secretary quickly corrected him.

"It doesn't matter. It's us leaders who failed to take care of the people below." Li An waved his hand and didn't mind Sun Gouzi's verbal offense.

"Director Sun, just do the inspection in the countryside. As long as you do it well, what will happen if you don't give it to them?" Qiu Yating asked curiously.

Although I have been the director of the Party and Government Office for more than a year, I mainly sit in the office. This is the first time I have heard of such things at the grassroots level.

"No? Haha, that would be terrible."

Sun Gouzi continued: "If there is no filial piety, the fire protection is not up to standard, the environmental sanitation is not in place, and the industrial and commercial tax comes to say that you have not completed this procedure or paid that tax. There are ways to deal with you and let us We can’t even transport the grapes out of the village.”

Li An was a little silent after listening to Sun Gouzi's words. He didn't expect that the cadres in Guanmiao Township would reach this point when they came down to "take cards and ask for cards".

"It seems that your village has made money growing grapes, which has made many township cadres jealous." Xu Kai sighed with emotion.

"Don't worry, since I have become the mayor of this township, I will kill this unhealthy trend. I can't let the money you have worked so hard to get into this person's pocket for no reason." Li An was angry. .

He has been in Fuqiang Village for two years and knows that it is not easy for farmers to make money. When cadres go to the countryside to do this, they not only damage the interests of the people by taking money, but more importantly, they dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers to engage in projects.

If things continue like this, in the end, young people in the village will go out to work, while the elderly will work at home and take care of their children. The village will only become poorer and poorer, forming a vicious cycle.

Qiu Yating held her head and said with some confusion: "We have visited seven villages before, why haven't we heard other villagers talk about this situation?"

Xu Kai sneered and said: "It's not that the township cadres don't want to make money, it's that the previous villages were too poor and had no money at all. I don't think those township cadres can go there even once a year."

The atmosphere became dull at the end of the meal, and everyone became a little taciturn.

After dinner, Li An asked the old party secretary to take them to see the vineyards in the village, which was what Li An and the others were most interested in.

After Li An and the other three were taken away by the old branch secretary, Er Pang and Sun Gouzi were clearing away the dishes.

"Why didn't Uncle Zhong let me follow him to the vineyard? No one in the village is as familiar as me." Sun Gouzi complained while sweeping the floor.

The Erpang smiled and said, "Come on, you don't even have a door to open your mouth. You say anything. Uncle Zhong didn't take you there because he was worried that you would say the wrong thing again and offend the village leaders."

Er Fatty is a sensible person, and he understands the old party secretary's intention of bringing Sun Gouzi with him today.

To put it bluntly, it was Sun Gouzi who said whatever was convenient for the old party secretary. However, this guy was also a straight-tempered man, and his speech was too straightforward. As he spoke, he scolded even the leaders in his hometown.

The old party secretary was worried about what if Sun Gouzi said something inappropriate again and offended the leader.

Anyway, what the old party secretary wanted Sun Gouzi to say today has been finished, so there is no need to follow him.

The reason why I stayed here was to keep an eye on this guy so that he wouldn't embarrass myself in front of the township leaders again.

"I don't know why the old party secretary is so pleased with Township Chief Li. I don't think the three of them are reliable." Sun Gouzi said.
