Chapter 27 The Executive Deputy Township Head and the Township Head's Meeting
In Gushanling Township, Qi Tongwei was summoned to the office by Zhu Zhiyong, the executive deputy township head.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, congratulations on being recognized as an outstanding individual at both the county and township levels."
Zhu Zhiyong said that Qi Tongwei was also lucky; he achieved some success in vegetable cultivation.
Normally, a new cadre in the probationary period should focus on learning and adapting to the job.
It's difficult to achieve results, especially since you're unfamiliar with the work and the place.
Qi Tongwei's method, while seemingly simple, is actually quite difficult to implement.
The simple thing is that almost anyone can grow vegetables, but the difficult thing is persuading the village officials and villagers of the six villages of Gushan, Lingshan, Qingshui, Lingxia, Lingshang and Ling'an.
After all, although Gushanling Township has a lot of land, not a single piece of land is idle; if vegetables are planted, grains cannot be grown.
Qi Tongwei's success lies in his ability to persuade the village officials and villagers of six villages: Gushan, Lingshan, Qingshui, Lingxia, Lingshang, and Ling'an.
Of course, Qi Tongwei's relationship with Handong University is also indispensable.
If Qi Tongwei hadn't graduated from Handong University, the teachers at the College of Agriculture of Handong University would never have donated so many rapeseed seeds.
This allows Qi Tongwei to cover six villages: Gushan, Lingshan, Qingshui, Lingxia, Lingshang, and Ling'an.
When Yan Shihai first reported, he only said that he wanted to carry it out in the two villages of Gushan and Lingshan.
The four villages of Qingshui, Lingxia, Lingshang, and Ling'an were added later.
Zhu Zhiyong greatly admired Qi Tongwei's dedication. Given the situation in Gushanling Township, no cadre was willing to pay out of their own pocket to do the work.
After all, the village often doesn't pay wages, and the little money they have has to be used to support their families first.
"Thank you, Mayor Zhu, it's all thanks to your leadership and support!"
Qi Tongwei said that without Zhu Zhiyong's affirmation and recommendation, he could not have become an advanced individual at both the county and township levels.
"What do you think we should do to improve our agricultural work in our township?"
Zhu Zhiyong asked, "Is this the main reason I called Qi Tongwei here?"
Gushanling relies solely on agriculture for all its development; only by doing well in agriculture can other work proceed smoothly.
"Mayor Zhu, I don't know much about the agricultural work in the township, so I dare not speak presumptuously. I will do whatever the township asks of me."
Qi Tongwei was startled upon hearing this. What did Zhu Zhiyong mean by this?
Do you genuinely want to ask him for his solution, or are you trying to give him a warning?
After all, he was just a probationary cadre, and it wasn't his place to offer opinions on the township's agricultural development.
Moreover, he dares not offer any suggestions to the township now, as Party Secretary Wan Jiaxian is still hoping he will use him as a scapegoat to stab Township Head Yan Maoqing.
He didn't know whether Zhu Zhiyong was a man of Party Secretary Wan Jiaxian or Township Head Yan Maoqing.
It's fine if Zhu Zhiyong is one of the township head Yan Maoqing's people, but if Zhu Zhiyong is one of the party secretary Wan Jiaxian's people, then we need to be careful.
"Speak boldly, and I won't blame you if you're wrong!"
Zhu Zhiyong smiled. This Qi Tongwei was indeed cautious, not answering his questions easily.
"Okay, Mayor Zhu, then I'll share my humble opinion. Please feel free to criticize and correct any shortcomings."
First and foremost, we must vigorously promote vegetable cultivation to help people increase their income as soon as possible.
Secondly, we need to find ways to get people to invest their money in new agricultural technologies, such as hybrid rice, to increase their grain production and further improve their income.
Third, we should find other ways to help people increase their income, so that they can invest some of their money in fertilizers, thereby further increasing their grain production.
Fourth, develop other industries to support further agricultural development.
Qi Tongwei said that the agricultural development in Gushanling Township is lagging behind because of outdated technology.
The reason for technological backwardness is that ordinary people don't have the money to invest in the use of new technologies.
In fact, it is possible to allow the people of Gushanling Township to invest their money in the use of new technologies, such as temporarily suspending the collection of public grain and the "three levies and five unified taxes".
But if that were the case, all the cadres, teachers, doctors, and nurses in the township would be starving.
In summary, the priority is to make money first and lead the people to make money.
When ordinary people have money, all kinds of work in the village will be much easier.
Qi Tongwei wasn't without other options, but he didn't want to use them for the time being.
Bringing it out now will most likely benefit someone else.
Once he's officially appointed, his benefits are secured, and he's obtained the rank of deputy section chief, he'll start using more methods to create political achievements for himself.
"The four points you mentioned are very good, and the township will consider them."
You have a sharp mind; in your work, you should think more about ways to improve your work.
Zhu Zhiyong said he was satisfied with Qi Tongwei's answer because Qi Tongwei had seen the crux of the problem.
The biggest problem for Gushanling is money. As long as we can find a way to raise funds, agriculture can develop rapidly.
"Yes, Mayor Zhu!"
Qi Tongwei replied, knowing that Zhu Zhiyong was quite satisfied with his answer.
After leaving Zhu Zhiyong's office, Qi Tongwei was summoned to the township head's office.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, thanks to the solution you came up with, the agricultural work in Gushanling Township has a bright spot this year."
Our township needs cadres like you who are willing and capable of getting things done.
Tell me what you were thinking at the time?
Yan Maoqing said that Qi Tongwei had previously said that he was inspired by Yan Shihai and Tian Xiaojuan to come up with the idea of having villagers grow vegetables to improve their lives and increase their income.
Yan Maoqing did not believe it.
If Yan Shihai and Tian Xiaojuan had such abilities, agricultural technology promotion in Gushanling Township would not be in its current state.
Yan Maoqing is certain that the method of growing vegetables was Qi Tongwei's own idea.
Qi Tongwei's desire to engage in vegetable cultivation was also driven by the circumstances.
According to Yan Maoqing, Qi Tongwei had offended someone, which is why he was sent to the agricultural technology station in Gushanling Township.
Otherwise, given Qi Tongwei's status as a graduate student at Handong University and the chairman of the student union, he should at least be assigned to the Yantai Municipal Party Committee or the Municipal Government.
"Mayor, after three months of study, I have a basic understanding of the agricultural situation in our township."
It is impossible to increase grain production and enable people to have enough to eat and live a good life by promoting agricultural technology in the short term.
The people in our township are not unwilling to accept new technologies, but they don't have the money to invest in them.
So I wondered if I could find another way.
After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with a way to grow vegetables.
The reason for choosing to grow vegetables is that people can fill their stomachs, increase their nutrition, and improve their health by growing vegetables.
Secondly, the old leaves, damaged leaves, and stalks of vegetables can be used to feed livestock, saving people some of the effort of cutting grass and preparing feed for animals.
Thirdly, the villagers can't possibly eat all these vegetables themselves; they can sell about half of them to generate income and increase their earnings.
Qi Tongwei said that he did not hide anything from the township head, Yan Maoqing.
Based on Qi Tongwei's understanding over the past six months, Yan Maoqing is a good leader.
"Yes, very good. Focusing on reality and thinking about solutions to problems is something that all cadres in the township should learn from."
By the way, how do you think our township should develop?
Yan Maoqing praised Qi Tongwei for taking the initiative to think of solutions to the problem.
At the same time, he also wanted to hear Qi Tongwei's views on the development of the township.
If Qi Tongwei can come up with a way to grow vegetables, he might have a good way to develop Gushanling Township.
"Mayor, I only have a superficial understanding of the overall situation in our township, so how would I know how to develop it?"
Qi Tongwei quickly shook his head. He hadn't properly learned about the situation in Gushanling Township yet, so he didn't dare to speak recklessly.
"It's alright, just tell me your thoughts briefly!"
Yan Maoqing said that it was true that Qi Tongwei did not fully understand the situation in the whole township, but he was not completely ignorant of it.
The agricultural technology station has information on the agricultural situation of the entire township. Knowing the agricultural situation of the entire township means having a general understanding of the overall situation of the township.
