Secretary candidate Mao Qibo and village chief candidate Wang Degui, you look at me and I look at you, but they are too embarrassed to speak first. Chairman Ertie smiled and said: "You two are too embarrassed to get up, I think it's Mao Qibo

Let’s talk first.”

Chairman Mao Qibo saw that he had no choice but to give in. He stood up and said: "Dear relatives and elders, I am from the first team, my name is Mao Qibo, and I am a party member. I am forty-two this year.

, has three children, has not violated the family planning policy, and has not committed any other violations of laws and disciplines. The family has thirty sheep."

Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help laughing. A woman asked: "Mao Sanpi, do you want to say that if everyone elects you as secretary, you will lead everyone to herd sheep and turn Dagushan into a

Da Cao Shan. Are we all going to be 'sheep herders'?"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Chairman Ertie suppressed his laughter and said to everyone: "Be serious. Qibo, please continue."

"This time the township chose me as a candidate for village party secretary. To be honest, I was not mentally prepared because I have never been a village cadre. When the leaders do their work, they really hope that I can lead everyone in the breeding industry. This is true.

I can make money. Although I have never been a village cadre, I will study hard and work hard to be a good leader. Please give me your vote of trust. Thank you." After saying this, he bowed with a red face. Maybe he was nervous.

He actually knocked his head on the table. The crowd burst into laughter again.

It's time for Black Scar to speak.

"Everyone calls me 'Black Scar', but not many people know that my name is Wang Degui. I am thirty-nine years old and have a son and a daughter. I have not violated the family planning policy. I have been the captain of the third team for some years. Although it is only

I am a captain, but I am very familiar with the situation in the whole village and even the whole township. I am also a party member. I also have some thoughts about the development of the village. It is not very mature yet."

Someone in the crowd immediately choked: "Hei Scar, if you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. If you don't say it, how will anyone know what you think? Everyone is here today, so just say it, everyone.

Let’s see if it works or not.”

"Yes, just say it and let's study it together." Many people in the crowd agreed.

"That's what I think. First of all, it was said on TV that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. You see, our village has two roads passing through it. One is the county road from the county seat to Zhongpu, and the other is the rural road from Datang to Dama.

.But not only did we not get any light, we also suffered greatly. Some children were run over by cars, and some had their legs broken. Especially on the rural road from Datang to Dama, our section of Wattang was

All the tractors pulling pyrite were crushed, and there was a lot of dust on sunny days, and there was mud and water on rainy days. It was really bad."

"Yeah. It's just very bad." The villagers nodded in affirmation.

Wang Degui continued: "I have a bold idea, that is, we borrow money to repair this section of the road, and then build rows of small houses near the wall of the grain station. From now on, this will be our street. We don't have to go to the market.

We have gone to Longzhong, and we have to attract people from Longzhong, Dama, Daxin, Langtianba and other places to come to our place for business. We will do business, collect management fees and rent. In this way, we will have our own collective economy

Already."

A villager asked: "Hei Scar, you said it nicely. It costs a lot of money to build roads and a lot of money to build houses. Who will borrow it and how will it be repaid?"

Wang Degui said: "Everyone just put in the work and put in some effort. For the cement for road construction, I went to the cement factory through the county to get some. If it was not enough, I pestered the township government leaders to find a way. It was cement, sand and gravel for building small houses.

Bricks, strips, rafters, tiles, doors, windows, glass, wires, lights, water pipes, etc. all cost money.”

Some villagers said: "That will probably cost a lot of money?"

Wang Degui said: "Excluding the labor cost, I roughly estimated that it would cost about 100,000 yuan."

The villagers exploded when they heard that the price was around 100,000 yuan. One hundred thousand yuan was undoubtedly an "astronomical figure" for this poor village.

"If you have that 100,000 yuan, you might as well save it in the bank and earn interest," someone said.

"Which family can afford 100,000 yuan?"

"That guy will lend you 100,000 yuan?"

"If we fail, that one will pay us back. One hundred thousand yuan, that's a lot of money. We are afraid that we won't be able to earn that much money in our lives."

"What if someone hits 'Xiao Jiujiu' and loses the collective and enriches himself?"

"Taking a step back, even if we succeed, how many years and months will we be able to recoup our capital? What's the benefit of us working hard?"

...

Everyone was talking and talking about it. The main meaning was nothing more than "where does the money come from", "how to spend the money", "who should compensate for the loss", and "how to divide the profit". Basically, everyone agreed to this by default.

ideas. But they all express everyone's high level of worry and fear of failure.

Wang Degui said: "Let me ask, do you all agree to do it?"

Everyone said in unison: Agree.

This small village needs a "breakthrough". Although Wang Degui's "idea" is still rough and not very mature, it has invisibly played a role in uniting people's hearts.

Wang Degui said: "Since everyone agrees to do it, I will say a few more words. Once the money comes, you don't have to worry about where it will come from. I have told my fourth uncle many times that their 'foundation' is willing to lend us money, and

It is a loan with the lowest interest rate. The repayment issue that everyone is worried about has also been discussed. As long as the "foundation" does not collapse, we can repay it in two years if we can't afford it in one year. If we can't repay it in two years, we can repay it in two years.

You can always afford it in ten or eight years. When you can't repay the capital, you only need to pay back the interest. And to put it bluntly, you are not afraid even if you fail. We have a house next to the road.

Society will eventually develop, and it will definitely be valuable in the future. In ancient times, there was no such thing as spending money on building a house."

After hearing what they said, everyone seemed to have some confidence in their hearts. They even applauded him in unison.

Seeing everyone applauding him, Wang Degui hurriedly said: "Thank you everyone, don't applaud now. When the work is successful and everyone gets the money, it won't be too late for you to applaud again." Then he received another message: "As for everyone's worries about someone.

There is "Xiao Jiujiu", I have also considered this. Indeed, everyone's worries are not unnecessary, after all, "people's hearts are separated from each other". I plan to not only do the accounts of the village accountant, but also recommend each group to recommend a person of high moral integrity, fairness and decency.

Come in, one will supervise the accounts, and the other will supervise the quality of the repairs. After the repairs are completed, you will also have to supervise the income and expenses. If possible, all major events and expenses in the village will be supervised in the future. Let everyone know clearly."
