Chapter 85: Simple Folk Customs
Yesterday
After Liu Shubo left the hospital, he returned to the town and began to call a meeting with people from the town government.
Soon, people from the town government gathered in the meeting room and began to discuss.
Everyone welcomed the five million.
But he had objections to what Wei Jie was going to do.
"Live broadcast? How can that work? If it gets out, won't people gossip about it?"
Hearing his subordinates' objection, Liu Shubo quickly corrected them: "It's not those live broadcasts on the Internet, it's a psychologist who treats through conversation."
Unlike other middle-aged and elderly cadres, Liu Shubo, who was born in the 1980s, is more receptive to some advanced concepts and understands the social trends.
When people heard that the treatment was to be done through conversation and heard the psychologist’s high-sounding explanation, they found it even more unreliable.
Director Liu, who is in charge of business licenses and other matters, said, "This... How can there be such a person in our team? He came here to treat us, right?"
Liu Shubo quickly said, "No, not everyone can be a psychologist. It takes training! Training!"
"This is ridiculous. How nice it would be if we built a pig farm here?" The others felt that this was not a very feasible idea and it would be better to just raise pigs!
Liu Shubo thought so too, but as a town mayor, he now has to seize every investment opportunity.
Lvliu Town doesn't have any special products, nor anything worth talking about, and there are no tourist attractions. There are a few celebrities, but they are all just extras and no one knows them at all.
In order to facilitate this voice, Liu Shubo was now responsible for coordinating the opinions of all parties.
"Everyone, it's almost the end of the year." Liu Shubo raised the water cup, gently unscrewed the lid and took a sip of hot water. Then, under the gaze of the others, he slowly said, "D County has told us to find a way to get this investment."
The rest of the people remained silent. Their town was not a wealthy one, and the end of the year was always the time when finances were most strained.
At this time, whether it is various project arrears, some miscellaneous things, or civil servants' salaries, all need to be paid from fiscal revenue.
If we can’t pay salaries, we’ll be in trouble.
Honghua County itself is a poor county. In addition, only two or three of its nine subordinate towns are self-sufficient. The rest of the towns have to rely on funding from the county in previous years.
Seeing that the others did not object, Liu Shubo continued, "Wei Jie has already sent a construction team to install street lights and cameras on several main streets in our town. He also advanced two months of cleaning expenses, allowing us to hire cleaners to clean the streets every day. After two months, this expense will be paid by ourselves."
After hearing what Liu Shubo said, the deputy mayor said, "Can we let him invest some money first? Doesn't our town have a lot of land? We can sell some."
Director Liu quickly shouted, "Yes! Selling land! He must build a company if he wants to start a company. We have some vacant land on the street and can give you a discount on the price."
Liu Shubo thought so too. Starting a company definitely requires land, and their town has no shortage of land.
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Liu Shubo said, "Let's go talk to him tomorrow and invite a few female comrades who are well educated!"
That afternoon, a post appeared in the local county forum.
I heard that a wealthy man in the city wants to invest in Lvliu Town. Lvliu Town is going to be demolished. Are the housing prices there high? I heard that the money is based on the number of people in the family. The more people there are, the more compensation you can get. My wife is from Lvliu Town. Today, her parents called and asked her to go back to collect the money.
As a result, word spread that the town government was going to demolish the property and sell the land.
Suddenly, everyone was excited!
How many years has it been!
Finally I can learn from the city people and sell the land and demolish the houses!
The simple villagers visited each other quickly, talked loudly to each other , and quickly reached a consensus.
Don’t demolish!
Definitely not demolishing!
I am determined to be a nail house!
It costs at least two thousand yuan per square meter to move, and you also need a school district house in the county!
A certain household
Liu Qiang: "Mom, the town is going to be demolished, I'll call all my brothers and sisters back!"
Aunt Liu felt a little uneasy. "This matter is not certain yet. You can ask your uncle if it is true. How much money is given?"
Liu Qiang took a puff of his cigarette. After hearing about the demolition, he no longer wanted to do anything else. All he could think about was the demolition.
Not to mention selling fish, even if his wife called him home to play mahjong for two, he wouldn't have the energy to do it.
Pressing the cigarette butt in his hand onto the cement floor, Liu Qiang said to the old lady, "It's a sure thing! I asked the people in the brigade. Liu Shubo went to the province with a few people and the county magistrate this morning. Isn't this a sure thing?"
Aunt Liu was still uneasy. "Why should we demolish this place? There are hardly any people in the town."
"We have to demolish the houses because there are no more talents! The country is now promoting urban-rural integration. There will be no more rural people in the future. The country is now asking us to live in the city, so we have to demolish the houses."
If a person thinks he can make a lot of money, then he will see everything as being that way and he can think of countless reasons for himself.
Aunt Liu listened to her youngest son's words and thought that this was a good thing anyway, so she said, "Then you can talk about it yourself. I don't care about anything anyway. Just give me a bite to eat. Don't ignore me when you have money."
Liu Qiang stood up, took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he said, "I'll go to Mayor Liu's house to ask. We'll talk about it when I come back. We can't afford to lose money!"
Just as he was about to leave, Liu Qiang suddenly thought of something and said to Aunt Liu, "I'll call my second sister back tonight. Her household registration is still here."
"Don't say anything to her when she comes back. She'll get money this time. We can find her a good family to marry and get some betrothal money."
Aunt Liu said dissatisfiedly: "You guys just don't say anything, how can I say anything about her? After calling her back, everyone just pretend that you don't know."
Not only in Aunt Liu's house, the thing the whole town has the most is idle people!
Those who usually play mahjong and set up stalls, today the family asked the men to go out and inquire about this matter.
Many people gathered together. They were all relatives and friends of each other. As they talked to each other about the demolition, they became more and more convinced.
As for why this demolition was not calculated based on the area of the house but on the family population, no one has thought about it.
Everyone’s thoughts are very simple, just waiting for the demolition!
This happened yesterday.
Today, Wei Jie was lying on the bed, looking at the calendar, calculating the time and making plans with a sneer that made Shui Sheng and Tan Xinyue stay away from him.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s incident made Wei Jie realize that one step alone would not achieve the desired result, and that a careful and tight plan was necessary.
Use a series of powerful gusts of blows, leaving the opponent no time to breathe!
There are still 30 days left until Chinese New Year!
Still no one knows what Wei Jie wants to do.
It’s impossible to see how many pits have been dug beneath this fog!
