Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 322 To get rich, build the road first

Zuo Guiying officially became a member of the mountain goods store. She was nimble and efficient, and she managed the store in order.

Here, Chunni began to prepare for road construction.

There is a county road in Shizishan leading to the county town. It is a respectable name to call it a county road. It is a three-meter wide dirt road with potholes and uneven surface. In the past two years, due to the rolling back and forth of Shichun tractors, the road surface has become worse, and Shichun has to send people to repair it from time to time. If it rains, there will be puddles of various sizes on the road, which greatly affects travel.

However, only one tractor is sufficient to meet the development needs in spring.

If Shichun wants to go out, he will have to buy a truck sooner or later, and building roads is inevitable.

Chunni looked at the account book and counted all the available funds. There were only tens of thousands of yuan, which was a bit difficult to build an eight-kilometer cement road.

Chunni pinched her nose. She was thinking, why not just not build an asphalt road, but go to the river to get some gravel and lay it on top to make it a gravel road. But the road must be widened, and her family must buy a truck.

Chunni was frowning at home because she never had enough money.

Little did she know that the news of the road construction had spread to every household in the village, including women and children! Even the Shizishan Township Government had heard about it.

Someone went to ask Yang Anzhang.

"Village Chief Yang, I heard that your niece caused a big fuss?"

Yang Anzhang also heard the news and was about to go talk to Chunni. When he heard someone was asking about him, he stopped and listened to everyone's thoughts.

"What? How come I don't know?" He played dumb.

"Oh my, you don't know yet! I heard people outside say that Shichun is going to build a cement road from Shizishan to the county seat."

The man laughed out loud with joy.

"Yang Chunni is indeed a college student, she is very conscious. But let me ask you a question, how much money does she make? Is her family rich?"

The man said something with a hidden meaning in his words. "It's fine as long as the road is passable. If it's repaired, it will still rot after a few steps. It's just a waste of time! If you ask me, she should do some good with her money and give some to the poor families in the village. It's better than throwing it away."

Yang Anzhang frowned and secretly looked at the man in front of him. This man was a village cadre of the township government, and he usually looked quite smart. Unexpectedly, he was short-sighted and even worse than Chunni, a girl.

"Whoever said Chunni wanted to build a cement road, go find him to do it." He paused, thinking that although this person had some small ideas, he had a good heart, so he was willing to give him some advice.

"Comrade Chairman said it well. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads! Chunni's idea is not wrong. Once the roads are built, it will be convenient for everyone to go in and out of the county. The villagers can sell their extra agricultural products in the county, which will make a lot of money. As for the question of sharing the money, don't say anything more. No one's money comes from the wind. Why should people share their own money with others?"

The village cadres' faces turned blue and purple as if a bottle of mixed feelings had been overturned, looking extremely ugly.

"Your family is not bad, but why don't you share your things with the poor? Chairman Mao's quotations say that we should be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing. As the old saying goes, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish." He patted the man on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You still need to read more books!"

Yang Anzhang scolded the man and walked away in a casual manner, leaving the man standing there, speechless for a long time.

Yang Anzhang still went to Chunni to talk about the road construction.

Road construction involves not only money, but also raw materials, labor and other aspects.

"I will definitely build the road," Chunni said without beating around the bush. "But my personal ability is limited, and I may still need the cooperation of the township and county."

Yang Anzhang nodded, "Yes. Tell me."

"The raw materials needed for road construction, such as earth, stone, concrete, asphalt, etc., can all be purchased. Labor can also be hired with money. The biggest problem I am facing now is the problem of widening the road."

Yang Anzhang nodded secretly. This is indeed the most difficult problem. Most of the houses in Tuo County are built according to the terrain and are close to mountains and rivers. They are greatly affected by the environment and terrain.

Many houses are built next to the road. If you want to widen the road, it will inevitably occupy the drying space or walls of some people.

Conflicts and disputes will follow.

"We need to find a professional to take a look at which areas can be widened and which areas must be diverted." Chunni believes that everyone has their own expertise, and professional matters should be done by professionals.

"You may still have to contact the county for this. I can't help you!"

"Hehe, Grandpa, there are a lot of things you can help with. You'll know when the time comes." Chunni kept it a secret.
