Chapter 678 680【Overall relocation】
At the moment, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu clarified everyone''s debts and found that they owed a lot of money.
?Some of the money is easy to repay, such as project payment, medical expenses, bank loans, etc. There are contracts and invoices, one by one, clearly.
But some money is troublesome. For example, there are signatures for restaurants, cigarette shops, and even massage and pedicures. Many of them are personal consumption and are also recorded in the town government''s account.
The sum of these sums is less than 10 million. If you pay it back, the town will suffer a huge loss; if you don’t pay it back, the people will suffer. Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu could only hold on tight first.
?Haiji County and Ning''an County are working on both sides to clarify jurisdiction and get funding.
Also, sell off the town’s assets. Office buildings, family buildings, equity in town enterprises, etc., and even the leather sofas in the office were all moved out and sold.
After three months of unremitting efforts, most of the creditors have settled. Even those who have not repaid their debts this year have made repayment plans, which finally gives people hope.
But those stupid debts cannot be repaid yet. For personal enjoyment, it is unreasonable for the town to pay for it.
Besides, there are many unreasonable receipts, and it is a bit outrageous to want to take away tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of debts based on just a few words on a piece of white paper.
?But they didn’t pay back, and the creditors weren’t happy either.
?These are the debts owed by the town. If a person wants to cancel his debts, he wants to send them away. It would be too unkind to wipe off tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of debts in one go.
Xiang Nan gave Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu an idea and asked them to invite lawyers. On the one hand, they would popularize the law to these creditors, and on the other hand, they would help them fight public interest lawsuits.
In the end, the law will decide whether the money should be repaid and who should pay it back, so as to avoid arguing with each other for a lifetime.
Zhang Shucheng thinks this idea is very good.
It is not only in line with the concept of governing the country according to law, but also satisfies both parties to the debtor.
??The county also supported this suggestion, and specially sent the law to the countryside, towns, and fields for public trials, allowing the people to observe it on the spot, letting them all know that the law is fair and no one will protect it.
In this way, it is fair, open and transparent, and the result will naturally satisfy both parties.
The thorny trouble was solved just like that. Debt-free, Minning Town can travel lightly and continue to develop.
?Major creditors have also recovered their arrears, and the company has been able to continue to survive. The people also regained their faith again, especially after learning so much legal knowledge. For them, it''s all good things, killing three birds with one stone.
…
In February, the overall relocation work in the impoverished mountainous areas of Xihaigu was officially launched.
??This time the relocation is no longer just one or two households moving like ants, but the whole village has been moved from the ravine to the plain.
Originally speaking, there is nothing in the ravine. There is no running water, no asphalt roads, no big companies, no big hospitals, no good schools... The infrastructure is so backward that it is incomparable to the prosperous and prosperous Minning Town.
In 2003, Minning Town’s average per capita disposable income reached 8,400 yuan. This number even exceeds that of Yinchuan City. This shows how prosperous Minning Town has become after years of investment and development.
However, it is still not easy to get the villagers to move out of the mountains. Once you come here, it’s hard to leave your homeland, and the fox will die on the first hill. The older people get, the more they miss their hometown and the harder it is to leave.
??Mountain villages are not only economically backward, but their concepts are even more backward. Feudal ideas are still strong, and the old man still has the final say on major issues in the village, and no one dares to disobey him. Even if the younger generation wants to go out and find a new life, the older generation won''t dare to do so without permission.
Secondly, people are actually afraid of change. As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are popular, you will be long-lasting. It can be seen that most people only change when they are at the end of their rope. There are few who prepare for a rainy day and are prepared for danger in times of peace, but there are many who dig wells when they are thirsty and sharpen their guns when they are in battle.
Minning Town is very good, but immigrants will also have concerns. What can we eat and drink there? Can we really find a job? Is it really a good life? No one can avoid muttering. Just like the whole country knows that Yanjing and Hujiang are good, but how many people dare to leave their families and careers to go there?
?Hence, the overall relocation work has been postponed for more than three months, but there is still not much improvement.
?Many villagers are homesick and think that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as their own doghouse, so they dare not move.
?The relocation work came to a standstill for a time. Several working groups went there without any results and came back in despair after defeating the battle.
? Seeing that no one was willing to take on this job, at this time, Ma Defu and Zhang Shucheng, as leaders, could only take the initiative to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Before they left, Xiang Nan gave a manuscript he had written to Ma Defu. This manuscript is actually what Defu said in the play.
People have two roots, one is in the hands of the ancestors, and the other is in the hands of the descendants. Wherever the younger generation goes, the roots will be there. Therefore, moving away from the mountain village is not to cut off the roots, but to move them.
??Moving the roots from the poor ravines with poor land, water shortage and few roads to Minning Town, with fertile land and abundant water and electricity, the roots will take root deeper and grow more vigorously.
Ma Defu and Zhang Shucheng were very moved after reading this article. They thought it was very contagious and persuasive. They believed it would be able to convince the elderly people in the village.
“Thank you, Comrade An, you have really helped us a lot.” Zhang Shucheng held Xiang Nan’s hand gratefully.
Hang Nan has always provided support to them from the time they immigrated to Diaozhuang in Yuquanying until now. To attract investment, engage in planting, and promote...
Minning Town’s achievements today are inseparable from his efforts.
"Secretary Zhang, you don''t have to be polite. In fact, the article is secondary. The most important thing is to communicate with your heart." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Let the villagers know that we are sincerely good for them. Heart to heart, heart to heart." As the old saying goes, where sincerity leads to gold, I think they will definitely agree. ”
Ma Defu and Zhang Shuchengdu strongly agree.
??When they went to relocate the entire village this time, they were trying to present facts and reason.
"By the way, Secretary Zhang, you have to be careful when going out in the past few months." Xiang Nan added, "I think you look a little bad."
“What, Yongfu’er, do you still believe this?” Zhang Shucheng asked with a smile after hearing this.
"There are some things. You can''t believe them all, but you can''t disbelieve them either. In short, you have to be careful. Especially when driving, you must pay attention to safety." Xiang Nan reminded, "There are too many large vehicles on the highway in Minning Town. It’s big and drives fast, and something could happen if you’re not careful.”
Zhang Shucheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I''ll be careful."
“That’s good.” Xiang Nan nodded.
