Wang Yunjiang looked at Lin Yi with interest.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi rejected it.
“Tell exactly what you think.”
“I think the county’s economy has already improved, but this money will only circulate at the county-level. There’s very little money flowing to the villages and towns below. Although the average number is better, the gap between the rich and the poor has also appeared.”
Wang Yunjiang nodded and continued,
“My plan is to start with three points: improving the soil fertility in Dongsan County, cultivating alkaline-resistant crops, and the final step would be to develop the livestock industry.”
Lin Yi explained his thoughts tirelessly. Wang Yunjiang listened attentively and did not interrupt him.
“That’s why I want to take so people to the northeast. 1 want to see them and learn so experience.”
“This sounds feasible.” Wang Yunjiang flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said,
“Coincidentally, I have a classmate who works at the Agricultural Research Institute in Bingcheng. I’ll call him and try to facilitate this matter.”
“That will make things much more convenient.”
“But do you have any specific plans for the livestock industry?”
“No.”
Lin Yi shrugged with a smile, “The main reason is that I haven’t lived in the countryside and don’t understand these matters. But it would be best to find young people with experience in livestock farming; that way, it will be much more convenient.”
Wang Yunjiang’s eyes glanced around.
“I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll help select the people, and when the ti cos, I’ll trouble you to make the trip in person. Don’t worry about the expenses. In the past, I wouldn’t dare to say this, but considering the current situation, giving you several hundred thousand won’t be a problem at all.”
“There’s no need for that. I can still afford this small amount of money. Save it for the county.”
Several hundred thousand yuan was nothing in Lin Yi’s eyes, so he didn’t take it seriously. Wang Yunjiang was also being overly considerate, as it could be reported to him later.
“Then let’s leave this matter at that for now. I’ll make the arrangents now.
In the end, you’ll make the final decision. No problem, right?”
“Sure.”
Wang Yunjiang nodded, “It’ll take at most a week to finalize this matter. As long as your schedule permits, we can address it at any ti.”
“I’m at your disposal. 1’11 shoot wherever you tell .”
“Haha, kid, go do your own thing.”
After leaving Wang Yunjiang’s office, Lin Yi returned to the office, where Li Qingkai was alone.
“Why did Secretary Wang call you?”
“It was about poverty alleviation. I’ve also put the matter of going to the northeast to study on the agenda.”
“What’s your plan?”
“Is there a need to plan this? When Secretary Wang finds a suitable candidates, we’ll just bring them over.”
“I an, who are you taking from our team?”
“Huh? Brother Li, do you want to go?” Lin Yi smiled and said.
“How about we go together? You can bring your wife and your son along.” Lin Yi suggested.Let’s go for a trip,” Lin Yi suggested.
“The bathing industry in the Northeast is quite special and much better than here on the coast. 1’11 take you to experience it.”
“Don’t do that; 1 can’t take advantage of others,” Li Qingkai said with a smile.
“My idea was, if possible, you should take Little Li along. She’s a diligent and enthusiastic worker but not as capable as you. If you don’t have any other plans, take her with you. She’s a good kid, and it would be a sha to leave her in Dongsan County.”
“I know what you an.” Lin Yi laughed. “But are you sure you don’t want to go with ? Even if you don’t want to go, you have to ask Sister-in-law’s opinion.”
“She’s even more cowardly than . She definitely wouldn’t dare to spend public funds on sothing like this trip.”
“It’s not public expenses. I’m paying for it myself.”
“That won’t do. We can’t take advantage of you.” Li Qingkai smiled honestly.
“But I really have sothing to ask you for a favor.”
“Just say it.”
“Isn’t your family from Zhonghai? My son is in his fourth year at Zhonghai University of Engineering. The weather is getting cold. Can you help send him so clothes for the season?”
“Huh? Your son is studying in Zhonghai? That’s my territory. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lin Yi rarely asked about other people’s private life. He only knew that Li Qingkai’s wife sold clothes in the county’s shopping mall and had a son who was in school, but he didn’t know that he was in Zhonghai.
“Isn’t this just in ti for the season change?” Li Qingkai smiled and said.
“We’re both busy with work and don’t have ti to go over. We have no choice but to trouble you.”
“It’s a small matter. When the ti cos, prepare the stuff and I’ll help you bring them over.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“We’re all on the sa side. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”
Over the next few days, Lin Yi continued to work with Li Qingkai, visiting villages and addressing land-related issues. Additionally, he was involved in the selection process for individuals who would go to the Northeast for learning opportunities.
After receiving this news, the people were very enthusiastic.
Firstly, they could learn sothing new. Secondly, everything was free. Naturally, there were people who were willing to go.
For the people in the village below, this might be their only chance to travel far.
“In front of us is White Leaf Town.” Li Qingkai said.
“This is the place with the most arable land in Dongsan County. We have to build at least 15 wells to satisfy the demand for arable land.”
“That’s a lot of work.”
“Isn’t that so?” Li Qingkai said.
“This is the wealthiest town in Dongsan County. Besides farming, they also do so livestock farming. You ntioned that you want to study in the Northeast, and many people from here have done the sa. Plus, I heard from Secretary Wang that when you return after your studies, this place will be used as a pilot project for developnt,” Li Qingkai explained.
“That sounds like a strategic plan.” Lin Yi looked outside, “Let’s go to the town and take a look at the situation on the ground.”
“Let’s go. We’ve arrived.”
Li Qingkai drove Lin Yi around town seriously.
Lin Yi realized that this place was indeed better than the other towns, but only marginally.
Overall, they were still very poor.
There were signs outside many shops in town. The things sold there were all livestock and poultry. Moreover, there was no way to know whether the business was good or bad,.
After strolling around the town, the two of them arrived at the village below and prepared to start digging the well.
Baiye Town, Bailing Village.
When the two of them arrived, the construction team had already begun to prepare the equipnt.
There were a total of eight people working busily.
The air was still filled with a stench. There was a lot of poultry and livestock here, so this was unavoidable.
“Is this place alright? You guys have to take good care of it. If we can’t extract any water, we won’t pay you,” Li Qingkai said.
“Don’t worry, these are all our own family’s lands. Why wouldn’t we take good care of them?” the construction team leader replied.
Lin Yi and Li Qingkai were a little surprised.
“Your family’s land?”
