But it is interesting to say that the situation in Longkou Village is different from anywhere else.

When it was finally his turn to inspect their place, Secretary Lin, who looked down upon any place, had an excellent impression of this place alone.

For example, a handicraft factory.

First of all, in this business, there is no need to purchase raw materials.

Stone, wood, and woven fabrics are almost all locally sourced ready-made materials.

What's more, in order to show fairness, Zhaoqing insisted on distributing dividends at the end of the year and announcing the accounts to all villagers.

The accounts recorded were all actual incomings and outgoings, and taxes were paid according to regulations, without any discrepancies.

Therefore, not only were no economic problems found, but as a village-run enterprise, it dared to distribute large amounts of dividends and took the initiative to allow all villagers to share the benefits, which actually made Secretary Lin feel gratified.

After all, the cadres of his generation are still the sons of the common people.

Even though I was born as a farmer, it was a natural reaction to be moved by the scene.

Secondly, I have to say that the tourist souvenirs produced by handicraft factories have good product attributes.

To put it bluntly, this is just the icing on the cake.

What's more, their production and sales touch areas that state-owned factories have not ventured into.

So not only does it have no competitive relationship with national economic entities.

Even if there is a problem in the future, it will not be charged with affecting the national economy or undermining national construction.

As a leader, you don't need to take on too many risks and responsibilities.

In addition, due to the production aspect of handicrafts, skilled craftsmen are needed.

Many of the workers hired by Longkou Village are from neighboring villages.

This gave Secretary Lin the impression that the leadership team of Longkou Village was highly aware, ambitious and capable.

We believe that they are willing and able to play a small role in helping others to become prosperous together.

In addition, this business will not produce adverse effects such as environmental pollution.

This makes Longkou Village completely different from other industrial villages, with unpleasant smells, waste and dirty water everywhere.

But it still maintains the appearance of birds singing, flowers fragrant and beautiful mountains and clear waters.

In terms of look and feel, it makes people feel that the place is outstanding, the people are simple and natural, which can't help but double the bad feeling.

But apart from that, there is another key reason why Longkou Village can fully gain the favor and favor of Secretary Lin.

That is, they not only do well in village-run enterprises, but they also do not relax in ideological study and agricultural production.

There is still a significant gap between it and other places Secretary Lin has visited.

Speaking of which, this was actually not done deliberately, but rather unintentionally, and God intended to make it happen.

After Ganqing paid dividends during the Spring Festival, Zhaoqing specially allocated 3,000 yuan to the village committee to supplement funds in order to support the work in the village.

As a village cadre at that time, Secretary An had some shortcomings such as uneducated, arbitrary, and family-oriented, which were inevitable.

So with this money, Secretary An wants to set up a paid idle position in the village committee so that he can take care of his relatives.

But what kind of position is best to assign? I don’t have to work, but I still have some leisure time?

Secretary An couldn't think of anything after much thought.

Later, Zhaoqing came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds.

He suggested that we simply repaint an old warehouse in the village committee, buy some books, subscribe to a few newspapers and periodicals, and set up a reading room.

In this way, being an administrator is not tiring. Every day is just about cleaning and sorting out books, periodicals and newspapers.

At the same time, it can also have some practical effect, allowing village cadres to understand policy changes in a timely manner and allowing young people in the village to increase their cultural level.

Secretary An thought about it and felt that it was really good to kill two birds with one stone, so he quickly followed the instructions.

In the end, no one expected that this time, when faced with a major inspection by the county, he took advantage of the situation and turned out to be a good result.

In fact, it was a coincidence that when Secretary Lin left the grassroots level, the library had just been prepared.

The windows are bright and clean, and the books, tables, chairs, benches, and bookcases are all brand new.

There are two columns on the newly painted wall: "Learning Garden" and "Party Members' Thought Reports", which look quite similar.

Secretary An temporarily added a porcelain statue of the "Great Leader".

This took no effort at all and got a high score in Secretary Lin's mind.

Because in this village, everyone is focused on money, and they can't see such a scene.

Yes, it is true that the white powder on the walls has not dried yet, which is indeed a suspicion of dealing with the boss.

But books, newspapers and periodicals can’t be seized temporarily?

How many people in rural areas at that time were willing to read? The roads were not easy to travel, and publications and newspapers had to be ordered in advance.

After all, there is absolutely no time to prepare these new books and newspapers.

So Secretary Lin clearly understood everything and visited the reading room.

He simply turned around and flipped through the reading materials on the table and in the bookcase, and then he was quite excited.

"I didn't expect that under such circumstances, you can still persist in political studies and think about improving your cultural level. It is really commendable. Well, well..."

But at this point, these three "ok"s still don't mean anything.

Because compared with this small reading room, Secretary Lin was really surprised to see the scene unfolding on the hillside on the front line of agricultural production, and the hot and dry conditions.

You should know that this year's agricultural production in Longkou Village is to save manpower and invest more resources in village-run factories.

But it was exactly as Zhaoqing had originally planned, and the entire village's fields were gathered together before spring plowing.

Not only did they embark on the road of collectivization again, but they also allocated special funds, hired agricultural workers, rented agricultural machinery and tools, and adopted more scientific and modern methods for unified farming.

As a result, when Secretary Lin led a team to inspect the agricultural production site, they saw an incredible scene.

I saw layers of terraces gradually unfolding on the gentle slope.

At the top of the high hillside, there is still a flag of the "Youth Commando" from that year.

Dozens of young people are digging rocks, filling holes, and leveling the land.

They used traditional handmade farm tools, danced with shovels and pickaxes, and sweated profusely.

In comparison, the three or four cultivators behind them, operated by two people, burned diesel but were extremely efficient.

"Chuchuchu", a ridge of field was plowed in a short time.

This scene immediately gave Secretary Lin a familiar feeling of intimacy.

He is a cadre who has experienced such labor countless times and has received honors for it.

I think back then when he was building the Ming Tombs Reservoir, he was still a "leading model pacesetter".

But later, through the baptism of exaggeration, this kind of labor turned into a performance and form.

But the situation in front of us is obviously not the case, and this is still of practical significance.

As a result, his emotions emerged and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Seeing is better than hearing. I didn't expect to see such an encouraging scene."

Then he asked, "I rarely see these farm machinery anymore. There is a saying that 'the farm machinery will be closed when the output is guaranteed to the individual.' Since the household contract was implemented, we ordinary people can no longer afford these things. We would rather work hard by ourselves than...

...How could you...?"

Secretary An didn't know how to answer this and was a bit dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Zhaoqing was good enough and picked up the words appropriately, and he said it right into Secretary Lin's heart.

"The specific situations are different, and of course they should be treated differently. Our Longkou Village has a complex geographical situation and not much flat land. If we farm the land separately, the villagers cannot afford machines, fertilizers, and pesticides. In this way, we have to climb mountains by ourselves every day.

Plowing the fields and fertilizing the fields will make you die from exhaustion."

"In the early years, we also tried the 'big contract' system, but as far as we are concerned, the amount of grain produced is not as much as in the past 'people's communes'. Obviously, facts have proved that this is not suitable for us. If you are poor, you will want to change.

, and did it again.”

"What we are thinking now is that we need to focus on both factories and agriculture. It is better to use the funds earned from running enterprises to advance the funding gap for agriculture and increase food production first. This way we have two legs. As long as healthy development can be achieved,

By making a contribution to the country, we may be able to achieve the goal of not eating resold food in the future."

"Anyway, adhering to the collectivization path is not necessarily wrong. After all, it is for common prosperity, and the actual results still have to be seen. Our business is also a collective system. If it is really like a big contract and it is assigned to an individual's name, then it will be done

It’s not good.”

"And to be honest, I personally think that modern agricultural farming is the correct path for agricultural development. Even if it is a 'big contract', when farmers have money, they will still give up traditional agricultural tools in the end. Otherwise, our agriculture will stop.

Not going forward..."

The truth and basis expounded by these words seem to have found some undeniable meaning and value for Secretary Lin's past.

His eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately agreed hurriedly.

"That's right. That's very good. Collectivization is not necessarily wrong. It's all for the sake of common prosperity. We still need to analyze the specific situation in detail."
