65: Chapter 65 eting 65: Chapter 65 eting Several days later, Ji Yang and his group returned to the township.
Leaders from several counties held a eting with everyone, and Ji Yang attended as well.
In the eting room, Secretary Zhao Qianlin looked at the crowd and said, “Everyone, talk about what we should do next.”
Ji Yang glanced at Chu Shuyuan and noticed that she had no intention to speak.
He understood that Chu Shuyuan was unwilling to share her thoughts because if he were to reveal them now, the results would yield little credit for her later.
Ji Yang then sat there, pretending to listen intently while occasionally jotting down notes.
Zou Minping said, “We have all visited and noticed that the conditions in this township are quite unique.
Many mountain people live deep in the mountains, which presents a considerable challenge.
So comrades have tried to persuade them to move into the villages, but due to many reasons, they are reluctant to leave the mountains.
If we cannot help them, our poverty alleviation efforts will face significant problems.”
Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee Guo Minping said, “Many people are living in the mountains with almost no legal awareness and still practice primitive ways of survival.
If this continues, it poses a great threat to our law enforcent work.
These people must be relocated to a unified area.”
“Yes, we’ve also heard that deep in the mountains, where only a few families live, they resolve issues with fists, and that’s a major problem,” added Ning Hongying, the Minister of Propaganda.
“Comrade Chu Shuyuan, what’s your view?” Zhao Qianlin suddenly asked Chu Shuyuan.
Chu Shuyuan replied, “During my visit to Wushu Village, I indeed observed the issues you’ve ntioned.
Mr.
Ji Yang of Qingyuan Village has made a suggestion, which I think is quite good.
We could find so places to build a new rural area, improve the environnt, and create livelihoods for the relocated villagers.
In this way, after experiencing the benefits of modern society and gaining the ability to make a living, they might enter the mountains again but will always have sothing in their hearts that draws them back to the new rural area.
Moreover, their families, especially the elders and children, will not want to return to the mountains once they experience the conveniences of modern society.”
Imdiately, everyone’s gaze turned to Ji Yang, who was sitting there.
Ji Yang hadn’t expected Chu Shuyuan to single him out.
“Oh, that sounds like a very good approach.
Those hidden in the mountains probably think the outside world is embroiled in chaos and feel very insecure about it.
Once they adapt to life outside, they will naturally stay.
I think it’s a very good idea.”
With that, Zhao Qianlin turned to Ji Yang and said, “Comrade Ji Yang, could you elaborate?”
Ji Yang, not shying away, responded, “Leaders, let share my thoughts, and you can see what you think.”
Zou Minping smiled and said, “Don’t hold back; just say what you want to.”
Ji Yang replied, “Our new rural developnt should aim for high standards, making residents feel the convenience in all aspects once they move in.
This will have a strong appeal to them.
Once they have experienced it, they will compare it with their original hos, and it will be hard for them to give up.
Moreover, we need to build schools, hospitals, and other facilities so they can appreciate the benefits.
There must be places where they can shop conveniently.
It’s even more crucial to teach them about the role of money.
They used to barter goods, but showing them that money can buy many things is essential.
We could establish a large mountain goods trade market.
Once they realize that many things from the mountains can be exchanged for money, they will often co back.
Gradually, they’ll continuously feel the benefits of modern society, and it will be hard to make them move back.”
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Ji Yang’s thod was indeed impressive, guiding them to gradually appreciate the conveniences of modern society.
Zou Minping looked at Ji Yang: “Comrade Ji Yang’s thoughts are really good.
If we can execute this well, why would they not want to co down from the mountains?”
Chu Shuyuan spoke up, “I’ve heard news that there will be a road planning by the province.
If we can promote this project and reroute the direction, I think it would be beneficial to build a bridge directly at the canyon leading to Wushu Village, which would invigorate the entire area.
We can also create a pilot new rural area in Wushu Village to see what it turns out to be.
I suggest entrusting this project to Comrade Ji Yang.
What does everyone think?”
The room fell silent for a mont, as everyone realized Chu Shuyuan was backing Ji Yang.
However, upon serious consideration, Ji Yang’s new rural construction thod had unique features, with the most important aspect being Chu Shuyuan’s ntion of the road alteration.
Everyone admitted they lacked such capability, but did Chu Shuyuan really possess such power?
Zhao Qianlin knew so inside information and his eyes brightened.
If the project succeeded, he would naturally gain credit.
Mayor Zou harbored the sa thoughts; success would bring benefits, and failure wouldn’t cause much harm.
The two exchanged glances, creating a tacit understanding amongst everyone present.
Zhao Qianlin said, “Comrade Shuyuan’s pilot project idea seems feasible.
If possible, it’s better for Qingyuan Village to conduct the pilot.
However, having Comrade Ji Yang responsible alone is not ideal.
I suggest Qingyuan Village should oversee this project, with Comrade Ji Yang contributing with ideas.”
Mayor Zou said, “Secretary Zhao is right; we should take this seriously.
We can’t just assign a deputy township head to do this.
I propose forming a pilot work group led by the Secretary of Qingyuan Township, with team mbers joining this group and Comrade Ji Yang serving as the Office Director to handle the specifics.
How does that sound?”
“That’s a good idea, Mayor Zou.”
“I support it.”
Chu Shuyuan nodded slightly and said, “I also think it’s possible.”
