Even though Luo Daliang is just a small village official with no high-level establishment, he has been the village party secretary for nearly 20 years and has reaped countless benefits, both overt and covert.

Without the throne of Party Secretary, how could the Luo family build the Little General Building? How could they become rich? Even if this is not the main factor in the Luo family's fortune, it is still an important factor.

Not to mention anything else, the Luo family's two largest fish ponds in the village, as well as the water surface covering most of the pond, as well as the unique small restaurant and canteen in the village, are enough to explain the problem. Later, Zhou Nan found out that

The vegetable market on the west side of the village actually belongs to the Luo family and is under the name of Luo Daliang's son-in-law Lin He.

Neither Zhou Nan nor Zhang Zhijun had any intention of letting him sit at the table, nor did Luo Daliang leave in embarrassment, nor did he stay.

Zhang Zhijun strode over, tugged on his arm, and said in a low voice, "Luo Daliang, what's wrong with you? Take your things back quickly... Secretary Zhou is annoyed by this the most."

With that said, Zhang Zhijun pushed Luo Daliang out of the house.

"Mayor Zhang, look, I..."

"Stop being so nagging and hurry back!" Zhang Zhijun stood at the door of his house and glared at Luo Daliang fiercely.

Luo Daliang had no choice but to go home depressed and despondently, carrying the cigarettes and wine he had brought.

When Zhang Zhijun came back, Zhou Nan was slowly chewing a piece of sheep bone with a very focused expression. Zhang Ningning was sitting on the side, staring at him with a smile.

"Secretary Zhou..." Zhang Zhijun greeted gently.

Zhou Nan looked up at Zhang Zhijun, put down the sheep bones in his hand, and smiled, "Old Zhang, I see that your mountain village is indeed quite poor. Along the way, many villagers' houses are thatched houses with bricks and tiles.

There are very few rooms.”

"I think even in the entire Ningshan Town, Kaoshan Village is considered poor, right?"

Zhang Zhijun sighed and nodded, "Well, Secretary Zhou, it is indeed like this. The land in the mountains is sparse and barren, and there is not much income from farming. The people in the village can barely make ends meet by selling some mountain products, raising sheep, breeders, and chickens. In our town,

If the backing villages are not the poorest, they are almost there."

"With such a ready-made cornucopia of water resources, it is absolutely possible to develop fish farming. I don't think there are several families at the foot of the mountain raising tilapia? The income should be pretty good, right?" Zhang Ningning interjected with a smile.

road.

"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, this water surface has been contracted out, and the contractors are the brothers of the Luo family. As for the fish ponds below, they can't be opened immediately... because the market sales are not good. In fact, there are many in the village.

People don’t want to raise them.”

Zhang Zhijun hesitated for a moment and said softly, carefully observing the changes in Zhou Nan's expression.

"How can you be poor in a place with mountains and water?" Zhou Nan smiled faintly, "The environment here is very good. I think the next step is for the town to provide support and focus on the development of fish farming and specialty animal husbandry. There is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

At the same time, these mountain forest resources must also be utilized rationally.”

"In addition, there is actually a good way to develop - tourism. You see, there is a flat plain at the foot of the mountain, green mountains in the background, and a large water pool. It is completely possible to build some farmhouses, or to attract investment from outside companies to invest.

Build an eco-tourism resort.”

"How about it, Mr. Zhang, is your Sky Group interested?"

Zhou Nan looked at Zhang Ningning with a smile.

Zhang Ningning pondered for a moment and smiled softly, "The resources here are rich. As long as the government is willing to support it, it is worth investing in. Building a resort is not bad. However, it is too closed here and the road to the outside world is not smooth. In fact,

It’s hard to develop.”

"The road is impassable. It can be repaired." Zhou Nan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "After finishing the two projects of market logistics and garment industrial park, I will go to the county to fight for it. At least I will have to provide some funds to put it in the right place."

This road needs to be built first. If you want to get rich, you need to build the road first. Without a road, everything you say is useless."

"Well, what Secretary Zhou said is that the road should be built. This road has been delayed for five or six years and is really in disgrace." Zhang Zhijun agreed, "If the road can be built, the people's lives will be easier.

Some. After all, there are some quarries and burnt gem mines around here."

Zhou Nan was startled, and suddenly remembered that on the way he was waiting for others, he saw a large hole dug out of half of the mountain face on the roadside. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Stop quarrying as much as possible. It's serious."

Destroying mountain and forest resources will only enrich individuals, and the common people will not get any benefits."

"Lao Zhang, how many quarries are there near here?"

"Secretary Zhou, there is one in Kaoshan Village, and two in the two neighboring villages, so there are three in total." Zhang Zhijun looked at Zhou Nan with some suspicion and thought: Stopped the quarry?

"After we go back, let's take some time to have a meeting to study it. Quarrying is a very low-level industry. It consumes too much energy and destroys the mountain and forest landscape. In the long run, the gain outweighs the loss. Lao Zhang, take a look next.

Regarding this matter, call the owners of these quarries to discuss this matter and ask them to stop as soon as possible."

"It should be the contract signed by the village with them... If it doesn't work out, we'll just keep it as it is, but the contract will not be renewed when it expires." Zhou Nan picked up the beer glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, Secretary Zhou." Although Zhang Zhijun felt a little dissatisfied with Zhou Nan's words in his heart, he did not dare to have any disobedience verbally.

Zhou Nan glanced at Zhang Zhijun, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. In fact, he knew very well that all the people who mined the quarry had some background in Ningshan County, and it was not easy to "clean up".

However, no matter how difficult it was, Zhou Nan was determined to slowly advance this matter.

He has always been very disgusted and opposed to quarrying and destroying mountains, which only values ​​short-term interests. As long as he is still working in Ningshan, he will do his best to ban quarrying and mountain excavation, and close these few towns in the town.

quarry.

Of course, he had to eat the meal one bite at a time. This was his long-term work plan later. When he mentioned it at this time, it was just a casual mention, and it was not really included in his work plan.

He continued to eat, but the atmosphere and appetite seemed to be gone. Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhang Zhijun couldn't help but secretly cursed Luo Daliang for coming at the wrong time. It was like the rat droppings that fell into the pot, and it was bad all of a sudden.

A pot of soup.

By the time we finished eating, it was already approaching evening. In summer in the mountains, night falls earlier than in the city.

Zhou Nan suddenly said, intentionally or unintentionally, "Old Zhang, I think the most beautiful house in this village is the small western-style building. There is a pickup truck parked in front of the door, and there are two stone lions. It's so grand."

,Whose family does this belong to?"

Zhang Zhijun smiled bitterly. Although he knew that Zhou Nan was asking questions knowingly, he still replied respectfully, "Secretary Zhou, that is the home of Luo Daliang, the village party secretary. It was probably just built last year. I heard it is a newly approved homestead."

"Oh." Zhou Nan smiled lightly and did not continue. He stood up, patted his stomach and said with a smile, "I'm too full today, Lao Zhang. You and Xiao Song can help clean up. Mr. Zhang and I will go for a walk."

With that said, Zhou Nan and Zhang Ningning walked out of the door side by side.

The night is low, the crescent moon is like a hook, and the stars are dotted.

Zhou Nan and Zhang Ningning slowly climbed up the mountain road. The mountain wind howled and made a whining sound. If they were walking alone on this mountain path, it would definitely be a bit scary.

Zhou Nan originally wanted to walk to the platform halfway up the mountain and sit down, but after walking a hundred or ten meters, Zhang Ningning stopped tiredly and said with a wry smile, "Zhou Nan, I can't accompany you anymore, we are so tired.

Just find a place to cool off and then go back to rest."

Zhou Nan shrugged and said with a smile, "That's fine."

This is a gentle winding dirt road, probably built by the villagers themselves. The road is not wide, about three or four meters long. There is a dark boulder on the roadside. Zhang Ningning walked over lightly, sat down, and patted it.

Next to him, he turned around and waved to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan walked over and sat next to Zhang Ningning.

The cool mountain breeze blew over and ruffled Zhang Ningning's long hair. Her long hair drifted away, and the hair tips slid across Zhou Nan's cheeks, making him feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Zhang Ningning didn't speak, she bent her knees and held her chin in her hands, looking up at the vast night sky, silent.

Zhou Nan sighed softly in his heart and sat silently beside her. However, his eyes were cast on the dark sea of ​​dense forest that could be seen undulating in the wind.

"Zhou Nan, to be honest, why do you know me so well?" Zhang Ningning's quiet voice came to my ears, "Even me... you know exactly what I like..."

Zhou Nan smiled but said nothing.

"Answer me." Zhang Ningning said angrily.

"I told you a long time ago, there is no answer, no answer. In short, it is still the same sentence..." Before Zhou Nan finished speaking, Zhang Ningning immediately stood up and stamped his feet in displeasure, "Hypocritical guy...

You are really too hypocritical!"

Under the bright moonlight, Zhang Ningning's bright eyes and white teeth looked both happy and angry. It was like a dazzling lightning that pierced Zhou Nan's heart at once, as if he was transported back to his previous life.

I was immersed in memories that cannot be described in words.

Realizing that something was wrong with Zhou Nan's expression, Zhang Ningning trembled in her heart. She avoided Zhou Nan's soft and calm eyes, pulled Zhou Nan's arm, but said softly, "Let's go, we should go back, Zhang Zhijun and Xiao Song

We have to wait impatiently."

Speechless all night.

The Zhang family has three main rooms and two side rooms. Zhou Nan has one room, Zhang Ningning and Song Xiaolin have one room, and Zhang Zhijun lives in the side room by himself.

The next morning, Zhou Nan got up very early. When he got up and went for a walk, Zhang Zhijun and others were still sleeping. The air in the mountains was very fresh in the morning. Zhou Nan trotted along the mountain road and arrived at the village settlement halfway up the mountain.

It is said to be "halfway up the mountain", but in fact it is just a large platform with gentle terrain. Perhaps after thousands of years of reproduction and renovation, local farmers have dug a large piece of the mountain from halfway up the mountain into the belly of the mountain, forming a sloping

It is a flat terrain inserted into the heart of the mountain, and many villagers built their houses on it.

Of course, the people of Kaoshan Village have been like this for generations. However, now the road leading to the foot of the mountain has been widened and hardened several times, electricity and cable TV are also connected, and every household has a water cellar.

When I got up early, many villagers were already working in the fields or going out to work for who knows what. Seeing Zhou Nan, the villagers were obviously a little surprised, but no one came up to say hello.

Zhou Nan stopped at the door of a dilapidated courtyard. He stayed for a while in front of the red paint sign of "Ningshan Town Kaoshan Village Central School" and looked at the handwriting on the door that had long been unclear: "Study hard and make progress every day."

"The slogan, as well as the dilapidated school building in the courtyard, were silent.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the beige building not far away, with dark brown glazed tiles on the roof, and his face became extremely ugly.

That is the new residence of Luo Daliang, the richest man in the village and the village party secretary. In this mountain village full of dilapidated thatched cottages and messy farmyards, this small building is so eye-catching and eye-catching!

Just now, Zhou Nan passed by the door of the small building. The courtyard wall is high and deep, and two stone lions face the intersection at the door. The black iron door is closed tightly, and the barking of wolves and dogs can be heard faintly inside.

Reform and opening up allowed some people to get rich first. Although in Zhou Nan's view, the so-called getting rich first and then getting rich together is a boring nonsense, but after all, there are still a few people who have become rich by taking advantage of the policy.
