Chapter VIII Poverty Alleviation Funds
The noon sun was shining, bright and a little dazzling, coming out of the conference room, facing the sun, Lin Chendui couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The meeting has just ended, and generally speaking, Lin Chendu's more than 20 days of research in the countryside has won a round of applause and endless praise, but Lin Chendui knows in his heart that although the words are good, I don't know how many people are waiting to see his jokes: when he first arrived, he dared to come up with such a plan that did not know the height of the sky, and he was really stunned. Don't you want to burn those three fires when you take office? But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Who wouldn't say high-sounding words? But if you really want to put it into practice, it's not so simple.
In addition to transportation, capital is an insurmountable gap that restricts the development of Guantang. These days, I can't do anything without money. In either aspect of Lin Chendu's plan, it requires almost astronomical funds. Where does all this money come from? You must know that Guantang Township's finances are now all about grain, and it has long been in deficit, and it still owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bank.
Of course, if Lin Chenwan really has so much power and can get so much money, it will not be harmful to them at all, and Guantang can achieve earth-shaking changes and development in this regard, isn't there also a credit to them? Therefore, they categorically would not have done this wicked man.
The whole meeting was held, and there was a lot of praise, but it did not fall into any practical place, and in the end, it was not over. This made Lin Chenwan a little disappointed. He sighed, the development road of Guantang is really a bit of hardship of "the road is long, and I will go up and down to seek".
"Township Chief Lin, let's go to dinner together? I asked Wang Dapang of Daoxiangju to keep an authentic old rooster......" As soon as he walked out of the door of the conference room, Ma Jingming, who was left behind, said to Lin Chenwan with a smile.
Ma Jingming is less than 40 this year, and unlike many grassroots cadres who Lin Chenwan has seen wearing straw hats, rolling up trouser legs, foul language, reckless behavior, and drunken spirit, he has a white face, a sven style, wearing a gray shirt with a good texture, and his demeanor is somewhat similar to that of the cadres in the city. If you really want to say it, I'm afraid he is more like a township leader than Liu Guangquan.
"No, I have something to do at noon, next time I'll invite you." Lin Chenwan politely declined.
For this Ma Jingming, he has always been a little unable to see through, but he faintly feels that this Ma Jingming seems to be a little wrong with others, and there are often-for-tat meetings at the conference. Lin Chendui just came to Guantang, but he didn't want to fall into the battle of deceit and intrigue so soon.
Ma Jingming seemed a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "Township Chief Lin, I support your plan very much, if you have any work needs in the future, even if you open your mouth, I, Ma Jingming, have no other skills, and I still have a few acquaintances in the bank......"
"Sycophants." As soon as Ma Jingming walked away, a gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and then he heard Sun Rongyu snort softly and scolded in a low voice. Seeing Lin Chenwan turn his head, Sun Rongyu pursed her lips, Danfeng glanced at Ma Jingming's back, and warned Lin Chenwan with a smile: "Township Chief Lin, don't listen to Ma Jingming." Chen Guohua had the audacity to take out a loan to engage in kumquat planting, just let him instigate it. I heard that the bank will give him a rebate for every amount we borrow. She smiled, and her face, which could only be called middle-class, suddenly became vivid and charming, and Lin Chenwan was surprised to find that this woman was a little seductive when she smiled.
"Rebates?" Lin Chenwan was surprised. He has only heard that others are begging for loans from banks, so how can there be banks that have taken out loans and have to pay intermediaries?
Sun Rongyu was very observant, she quickly caught the subtle changes in Lin Chendu's expression, and explained with a smile: "We are not the same here as in the city, few people in the poor countryside will go to the bank for a loan, and if they really want to take out a loan, the bank will not approve it, for fear that others will not be able to repay it without a guarantee." However, the bank also has a task, and if you want to complete the task, of course, you must have a benefit fee. Government agencies like our township are the most favored loan objects of the bank, and they are all from the state anyway, and I am not afraid that you will not be able to pay it back. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Chenwan couldn't help asking: "What is the handling of the loan from the township now?" ”
"What else? I owe it first. Sun Rongyu said with some disapproval: "Which government doesn't owe money to the bank now?" Anyway, this is also the mess left by Chen Guohua, who would be so kind to wipe someone else's buttocks? ”
Lin Chenwan felt a little difficult to accept, but when he actually thought about it, it was really like this. In many places, bank loans have been used to speed up local economic development, but due to incoherent policies and poor decision-making, these loans have become bad debts. At this time, the original decision-makers no longer knew where to transfer. As for these problems, most of the successors will not admit it at all, and in the end the matter will not be resolved, anyway, it is the state's money that is lost, as long as it is not in their own purse, any problem can be pushed to the so-called reform and experiment. Originally, socialist construction was to cross the river by feeling the stones, and it was reasonable to take some detours.
"By the way, Township Chief Lin, I heard from our family that the county has just received a poverty alleviation fund of 500,000 yuan, do you want to fight for it? If it's late, maybe it will be run away by Xindian Township and Zhangmu Township. Sun Rongyu was a little pretentious, and said to Lin Chenwan as if she was showing goodwill. His husband works in the county, so it is not surprising that he knows some news in advance.
In fact, Lin Chenwan already knew the news, and the poverty alleviation fund in Yunyan County was submitted to Yang Weiguo by him when he applied for the report. When Yang Weiguo signed, he specified that this amount could only be allocated to Guantang Township, and Lin Chenwan was still a little puzzled at first, until he later knew that he was going to come to Guantang Township as the head of the township, and he understood Yang Weiguo's good intentions.
Of course, Yang Weiguo did this, even if Lin Chendu's reason is put aside, it is reasonable, who made Guantang a poor township in the entire Huachuan Province?
Poverty alleviation funds, as the name implies, are to be used to help the poor, but in fact, for many grassroots people, poverty alleviation funds are a big fat meat, how much to grab, as for how much falls into the hands of poor people in the end, it is not necessarily. This kind of thing was often heard about by Lin Chenwan when he was in Dongping, but for him who is in urgent need of money now, this poverty alleviation fund is naturally better than nothing. He smiled and said to Sun Rongyu: "Well, thank you, Township Chief Sun." I am planning to go to the county in two days, and I will try to get as much poverty alleviation money as possible. ”
"Hehe, what's there to thank you for? Isn't everyone here for work? Sun Rongyu pursed her lips and said with a smile, then looked around, lowered her voice and said, "This is a poverty alleviation fund, you had better ask Secretary Liu to go." ”
"Oh? Is it? Lin Chendui was a little surprised.
"You don't know this, Secretary Liu is familiar with this, and those people in the county are afraid that he will come to ask for money, so he won't leave if he doesn't give it. So, it's safer for him to go to this matter. ”
Lin Chendui nodded, he didn't know why he felt panicked, he always seemed to be able to see Liu Guangquan cheekily asking for poverty alleviation funds in the county, which was so sad.
After this delay, when Lin Chendui came out, it was already past dinner. There is also a canteen in the township government, but it is not free, at most it is cleaner and more hygienic than the outside, and Lin Chendu's three meals a day are almost all solved in the canteen. But once the meal is over, there is no food in the cafeteria.
After looking at the time, Lin Chendui simply left the government and went to the street to find food. Don't look at the Guantang Street is not prosperous, but there are still a few small restaurants, the most famous of which is the Daoxiangju mentioned by Ma Jingming. But just rejected Ma Jingming's invitation and went to dinner, which was really unreasonable, so Lin Chenwan wanted to find a nearby family to make do with it first.
Just turned a street, but found that there was a new restaurant, the area is not large, but the decoration is a little special, the door is a transparent glass door, inside are rows of neat colored fast dining tables and chairs, very much the modern and neat taste of the city, so that Lin Chenwan felt very kind, and couldn't help but walk in.
Perhaps because of the new opening, there were not many people dining, only a few customers. Lin Chendui just walked in, and before she could sit down, she saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl coming up, wearing the kind of uniform that is obviously the kind of uniform in the fast food restaurants in the city, giving people a fresh and capable feeling, she asked very enthusiastically: "This boss, what do you want to eat?" We have Taiwanese braised pork rice, Fujian wontons, and all kinds of stir-fried and steamed vegetables...... "The sound is sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, as if it can touch people's hearts."
Lin Chendui didn't expect that there was such a restaurant in Guantang, so he couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Are you from the city?" ”
Before the little girl could answer, she heard someone shout in surprise: "Township Chief Lin, are you also coming to eat?" ”
Lin Chendui looked up, but saw that the curtain in the inner room was lifted, revealing a graceful figure, and there was a hint of red on her snow-white pretty face.
"You?" Lin Chendui froze for a moment, and only after a long time did he say, "Jiang Meixuan, aren't you going home?" How is it here? ”
"What? I feel that you Township Chief Lin is here, so I can't come? Jiang Meixuan glanced at Lin Chendui, her delicate face was flushed, and she spoke a little casually, as if she had a deep friendship with Lin Chendui.
