Chapter 1303 Deep in the Mountain

After Qin Feng came out of Mayor Liang Jianbo's office, he went to see the executive deputy mayor.

At noon, in the guest house of the municipal party committee, Xia Junhua personally greeted Qin Feng, and those present included the mayor, executive deputy mayor, organization director and secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Qin Feng was a little flattered by this high level. The entire Xiquan Municipal Committee Half of the Standing Committee team came here to succeed him as a small county magistrate. .goΠb

Qin Feng understood that the reason why these leaders would give him such face was naturally because of the wishes of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xia Junhua and Mayor Liang Jianbo, and the reason why Xia Junhua and Liang Jianbo valued Qin Feng so much was of course because of Zhao Hongjian and Provincial Party Committee Secretary Hu.

It is an eternal truth that there are people in the imperial court who are good at serving as officials.

In the afternoon, Qin Feng got into the car of He Guoping, the director of the Organization Department, and headed to Yi'an to take office. Zhang Yugang's car led the way.

"Qin Feng, isn't our place very different from your Dongyang place?" He Guoping and Qin Feng sat in the back seat of the car together, pointing to the towering mountain peaks outside the window and asked Qin Feng.

"Minister He, I should be with them in Dongyang. I am now also a member of our Xiquan team." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, there should be a big difference between our place and Dongyang. Tell me, in your opinion, how many years behind Dongyang is our Xiquan?" He Guoping asked.

"To be honest, ten years is enough."

"In my opinion, it's more than ten years. I'm a native of Xiquan. I grew up in these mountains. When I was a child, I always dreamed of being able to get out of these mountains and go to a big city when I grew up."

"Decades have passed, my generation thought so at the time, and today's young people still think so. We in Xiquan originally had a small population, and over the years, the population has been losing a lot. In recent years, The population loss is getting faster and faster, a large number of young people choose to leave Xiquan, and the rest are basically the old, weak, women and children, which has also caused serious social problems."

"Why do young people want to leave? In the final analysis, it is because our place is poor. Poverty is the root of all problems. This is what the central government has repeatedly emphasized. Development is the means to solve all problems."

"Poverty alleviation has been carried out for many years. You can't say that the province has no support, nor can you say that our city has not made up its mind, but over the years, little results have been achieved. The word "poverty alleviation" has almost become a part of our Xiquan City. It’s a nightmare for leaders.”

"Look, it's so difficult to get rid of poverty and become rich with mountains and water like this!" He Guoping looked at the mountains outside the window with deep emotion.

Qin Feng knew that He Guoping was not only feeling it, but also telling him something.

"Look at these endless mountains. There are no people on the mountains now. In the early years, there were still a large number of people living on the mountains. That was the real difficulty. In such mountains, there was no electricity or roads. It was even more unmanageable, and social security was once very bad. Many times the number of villagers reported by each village did not match, and many people living in the mountains did not even have ID cards because they could not use them." He Guoping said with a smile. laughed.

“It would be inaccurate to say that our poverty alleviation work over the years has not achieved anything. Since we determined the poverty alleviation strategy, the first thing we have done is to carry out a relocation project to move all the people living in the mountains out into a contiguous area. They were resettled and then connected with water and electricity, which were called three links at the time. Later, network connections were added, and now they are called four links.”

"You can imagine how difficult it is to get these people who have lived in the mountains for generations to move out. We have been doing this work for ten years. Now, if nothing else, at least we have achieved access to every village. This is already It’s very difficult. Why do I feel so deeply? When I was doing this work, I was serving as the county magistrate of Yi’an County,” said He Guoping.

Qin Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that He Guoping also served in Yi'an County.

"The situation now is much better than that then, but the problem of poverty has still not been fundamentally solved. To be honest, the city is also very confused now. Various methods have been thought of and used, but to no avail. We have also launched many industrial projects, but they were full of difficulties and few were successful.”

"This time the province transferred you directly, which shows that the province is very disappointed with our Xiquan City." He Guoping said.

"Minister He, this..." Qin Feng was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Don't mind, I'm not telling you what I'm saying. The province has transferred you and it's clear that they are preparing to use strong medicine on Yi'an County. I support the decision of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and let you young people do it. If you change your mind, maybe you can actually find a way out."

Qin Feng nodded and said: "I will work hard."

Through chatting with He Guoping along the way, Qin Feng gained a deeper understanding of Xiquan and Yi'an.

It took the car an hour to drive to Yi'an County. It is said that this is because the expressway has been connected in recent years. In the past, it took more than three hours to drive from Yi'an County to Xiquan.
