The township organized all township cadres and held a heart-warming meeting, and the work of the township began to get on the right track. In addition to participating in various meetings in the county and township, Hong Jingtian focused on the construction of the fruit base in Shanshu Village. Come up. His fruit base construction project was specifically reported to Secretary Luo and Township Chief Qian. Neither of the two main leaders expressed clear opposition, but they also did not express strong support. In a word, it is possible to do it, but there is not a penny in the countryside. Hong Jingtian also knew that the township would definitely not be able to provide any money, and he did not place his hope on it. He asked Li Zhishi to find Yin Guowei and Tang Guangyuan, and the four of them discussed it in his office. "Chief Jingtian, do you really want to build a fruit base in our village?" Tang Guangyuan asked with some suspicion. "Yes, Old Tang, you have also seen that our Shanshu Village has no other resources. There is no other way out except to build a fruit base and breeding industry. If we don't think of starting it now, I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity." Hong Jingtian already knew from Du Jiaguo that after the New Year, the national highway rerouting project would start. This road will be completed and open to traffic in at most three years. Shanshu Village is starting to build a fruit base now, and it will not be put into production until three years later. If everything goes smoothly, the road will be opened to traffic and fruit production will begin. As for within the next three years, we can also find ways to organize people in Shanshu Village to work on the highway, which can also increase their income. "But Mayor Jingtian, can these apples, pears and plums really be sold?" Yin Guowei has seen some things in the world and knows that if fruits and other things cannot be sold, they are worthless. And the prices of these fruits are definitely not as high as those of walnuts. "Haha, Village Chief Yin, you only see the fruits in Tongping Township and cannot sell them at a high price. In fact, this is because we have poor information, and the local market is too small. If we only target nearby That's definitely not possible in the county town. If we want to do it, we have to sell the fruit to the provincial capital and to big cities outside. Boss Jiang, who came to our hometown to collect walnuts last time, has promised that as long as our fruit tastes good, he will sell it. Give priority to purchasing ours. In addition, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences has promised to send people to investigate the soil quality and climate of our Shanshu Village in a few days. If the conditions in our Shanshu Village are suitable, they can provide us with seedlings and technical support. ." Hong Jingtian said with confidence. "Okay, since Mayor Hong is confident, we will go all out and do whatever you say." Yin Guowei said loudly with a sudden change of heart. Afterwards, several people discussed the detailed plan. According to Hong Jingtian's vision, this fruit base will need to be built at least 500 acres. After it is officially put into production, the annual output will reach more than one million kilograms. Of course, after the land was planned, Hong Jingtian had to wait for experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to come and test the land before making a final decision. After all, he didn't know whether the soil and climate conditions were suitable for the growth of these fruits. If you encourage the villagers to blindly mount their horses because of your own enthusiasm, causing serious consequences, then the sin will be great. Chen Fuchong had called a few days ago and said that there happened to be a project in their courtyard and they wanted to do some research on fruit cultivation. They were worried that they did not have an experimental base. When Chen Fuchong introduced that their township was planning to build a fruit base, the courtyard was very interested. We are going to send people down for on-site investigation in a few days. If the soil quality and climate conditions here are suitable, we can consider cooperating with Tongping Township. Hong Jingtian was overjoyed when he heard the news. He thanked Chen Fuchong repeatedly on the phone and promised to do a good job in reception and fully cooperate with the experts of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences finally worked tirelessly to reach Tongping Township. For this reason, Hong Jingtian and Yin Guowei rented a motor boat and went to Pengxi Town to greet them. There were five experts and technicians who came to conduct field research. One of them was an old man in his sixties, whose surname was Dai. Everyone called him Dai Lao. He wore a pair of wide glasses and had energetic eyes. There are also two petite girls, about 20 years old, one with a light smile on her face, surnamed Zhao, called Zhao Ying, and the other named Deng Lishu, with a delicate face that seems to be covered with frost. The other two men, one named Sun Yong, was very strong, and the other was Chen Fuchong, a classmate of Hong Jingtian. There were also accompanying personnel from two county agricultural bureaus. When Chen Fuchong saw Hong Jingtian, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face. He rushed up to him and gave him a big bear hug regardless of everyone's sideways glances. Then he pointed at Mr. Dai to introduce Hong Jingtian, and then introduced the other three Team member was introduced to Hong Jingtian. Hong Jingtian first respectfully welcomed and thanked Mr. Dai, and then politely greeted these young people. However, Teresa Deng's expression was cold, which made Hong Jingtian seem to have been hit by a nail. Originally, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences did not want to cooperate withAfter all, I heard that Tongping Township has no roads and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Even if the fruit base is built, it will not be sold. But then I heard Chen Fuchong say that after the national highway was rerouted, it happened to pass through Shanshu Village. This made the leaders of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences make up their minds. After everyone talked enthusiastically for a while, accompanied by Hong Jingtian, they boarded the motor boat. Of course, Yin Guowei, the village chief, immediately became the porter, helping to carry the instruments and equipment brought by Chen Fuchong and others. When they arrived at Tongping Township, Luo Yunzhong naturally brought the main leaders of the township to greet them warmly, and even hosted a banquet for them in the evening. No matter what, the experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are here to help the development of Tongping Township. Luo Yunzhong and Qian Daqing, as the party and government leaders of the township, naturally welcome them very much. After staying in the village for a night, Hong Jingtian accompanied Dai Lao and his party to Shanshu Village the next day. They were busy for a week before completing the sampling and other research work. It's just that these few days have caused Zhao Ying and Deng Lishu great harm. Because Shanshu Village is too far away from the Tongping Township Government, they naturally live in the village these days. In order to accommodate these distinguished guests, Yin Guowei specially purchased several new apartments. Bedding, of course, Hong Jingtian paid for it in advance. However, even so, these distinguished guests from the provincial capitals have never experienced such a difficult life in a mountain village. Zhao Ying even changed her face. To Hong Jingtian's expectation, it was the cold beauty Deng Lishu, who seemed not to be that big. same thing. The night before leaving Shanshu Village, Yin Guowei grandly arranged several tables at home and invited several prestigious old people in the village to bid farewell to Dai Lao and his party. Mr. Dai should have been working at the grassroots level often, and he got along very well with these villagers. The villagers knew that the experts from the provincial capital helped them get rich, and his sincere gratitude naturally overflowed from his expression. No matter where Dai Lao and the others go in Shanshu Village, they will receive extremely simple respect. Moreover, these villagers will bring out walnuts and other things from home for Dai Lao and the others to taste. Of course, when they saw Hong Jingtian, they greeted him warmly, and the closeness and respect in his eyes made Dai Lao and others secretly surprised. The table is full of game, and the home-brewed cereal wine smells of a pure natural aroma. Hong Jingtian and Yin Guowei naturally and respectfully allowed Mr. Dai to sit at the head of the Eight Immortals table. Zhao Ying and Deng Lishu sat on one side, Sun Yong and Chen Fuchong sat on the other side, and Hong Jingtian and Yin Guowei sat at the bottom. As for the village party secretary Tang Guangyuan, he was invited to sit with Dai Lao. As the host, Yin Guowei was naturally the first to speak. He and Tang Guangyuan had been accompanying Dai Lao and the others in the past few days and had become very familiar with each other. At this time, he raised his wine glass affectionately and said: "Dai Lao, Leader Chen, Sun Leader, Leader Zhao, Leader Deng, on behalf of the more than 900 villagers of our Shanshu Village, I would like to pay a toast to the most distinguished leaders. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to come to our village to help us develop. You are the great benefactors of our village. , I'll finish this cup, you can do whatever you want." Seeing Yin Guowei's eyes moist and standing up with a cup in his hands, Mr. Dai raised his hand to greet him: "Village Chief Yin, sit down quickly, let's drink this cup. ." After speaking, Mr. Dai took the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and raised their glasses and took a sip. Of course, Zhao Ying and Teresa Deng drank drinks. Hong Jingtian ordered Yin Guowei to buy these wine glasses and drinks on a special trip to Tongping Township Street. Hong Jingtian also put aside the money temporarily. The village committee of Shanshu Village didn¡¯t even have a penny in its account. Even the village chief, Yin Guowei, didn¡¯t have a rich family. In the end, Hong Jingtian had to pay first. After toasting the guests from the provincial capital, Yin Guowei poured another glass of wine, looked at Hong Jingtian and said emotionally: "Head of Jingtian, I want to toast you. To be honest, among the township leaders I have met, you are the most sincere. The person who helped us develop is also the most respected person in our village. On behalf of all the villagers, I would like to propose a toast to you. I¡¯ll finish it, you can do whatever you want.¡± After saying that, Yin Guowei raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup. . When Hong Jingtian heard what he said, his heart was heavy. After seeing Yin Guowei finish drinking, he also said emotionally: "Village Chief Guowei, the township asked me to be responsible for contacting Shanshu Village, but I, the contact leader, failed to lead the villagers We have embarked on the road to wealth. I, the contact leader, have failed in my duty. However, I believe that there is the care and support of Dai Lao and other leaders of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the correct leadership of the township party committee and government, and the joint efforts of more than 900 folks in the village. , Our Shanshu Village will definitely get better and better, I drank this glass, everything is in the wine." Hong Jingtian raised his glass with some excitement and drank all the wine in the glass. When Teresa Deng saw Hong Jingtian¡¯s behavior, a glimmer of wonder flashed in her eyes. To be honest, through these few days of contact, Teresa Deng discovered that this person was named Hong Jingtian.Today's deputy mayor seems to have an indescribable charm that infects others. He often leads people around him to do something with great enthusiasm without knowing it. After returning from Shanshu Village, Hong Jingtian and Yin Guowei sent Dai Lao and others to Pengxi Town again. After getting into the car sent by the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to pick them up, they reluctantly waved goodbye to Dai Lao and others.
