Chapter 1412 The Secret Told by the Principal

Chapter 1412 The Secret of the Principal

The overall economy of Cuoyang City is relatively backward, which is mainly caused by the geographical reason that Cuoyang is located in the mountainous area. The entire territory of Cuoyang is located in the Xiangyang Mountain area, with high mountains and steep ridges and ravines. It has three districts, two counties and one city under its jurisdiction. Only Quanshan City is mostly low hills. The most famous Quanshan is only more than 800 meters above sea level.

However, from another level, Cuoyang City has abundant forest resources and is rich in wood, strange stones, medicinal materials, fur, etc. If it is said that there is no potential for development, the cadre team of Cuoyang City will definitely not escape the evaluation of "inaction".

Now, Zhao Jianhui is located in Xianxi Township, Luanshan County, one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Cuoyang City. This is the periphery of Luanshan National Nature Reserve. Go up along the stream under your feet and go north for less than five kilometers to the Luanshan Nature Reserve.

The forests in the area are lush, and it is a forest ecology and wildlife type nature reserve with brown pheasants and secondary forests of North China larch and spruce as the main protection content. The area is full of mountains and ridges, towering trees, and gurgling streams. There are more than 500 species of plants from more than 60 families, including more than 200 medicinal materials. It is also a good place for rare birds and animals to live and reproduce. There are many birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, fungi and plants. But every plant and tree in the reserve cannot be moved. If you want to rely on the mountains, you can only think of ways outside the reserve.

Since I came to Cuoyang City, I can't just punish a group of corrupt officials. I have to conduct field investigations and come up with a new way to help the people of Cuoyang City develop.

"Secretary, if a resort is built here, it will be a good place for people to escape the summer heat, recuperate, travel, and vacation..." Cheng Ting, who was following behind, saw Zhao Jianhui holding a piece of rock in thought and said behind him. Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if he built seven or eight resorts around this mountain, what would it matter? The people of Cuoyang can't get rich just by building a resort here..."

Looking at Luanshan Mountain on the north side, it was white under the sun. Although the snow yesterday had stopped, the vast momentum of the ice-covered mountains still made people in awe of the power of nature. If you come here to climb the peak in summer, the scenery of the mountains, the green rippling, and the misty clouds is really refreshing and dazzling.

The scenery here is good, but it's a pity that traveling is always for the rich. This place is too far away from the big city, and there are no other scenic spots in Cuoyang City. Who can run hundreds of kilometers to this remote place to see the scenery just to see the nature here?

The sound of water roared in the valley below, and a clear spring flowed down from the steep rocks. The light spots torn by the leaves shone on the waterfall, shining brightly and changing rapidly. In the silver-white, it was like a chain, winding down the valley, and the downstream was the station of Xianxi Township.

To the south of Xianxi Township, the hill that suddenly rose was Quanshan, which should be regarded as the remnant of Luanshan. I don’t know if the Fuquan of Quanshan is from the same source as Xianxi?

Turning to the three giant pines lined up by the stream, Zhao Jianhui stretched out his hand to scoop up a handful of stream water and put it in his mouth to taste it. The mountain stream was intuitively clear and sweet, with a slight residual temperature, not as cold as it looked.

"The stream is frozen, be careful to slide down..." Le Jing, who had been following behind and had not spoken much, said at this time. Zhao Jianhui smiled and whispered, "Thank you..." When he stood up and looked up, he saw Le Jing holding a few pages of tissues in her hand and handing them over to Zhao Jianhui, meaning that she wanted him to wipe his mouth and hands.

This scene made Zhao Jianhui suddenly remember what happened in the office that day, and the scene at this moment was so similar.

Le Jing saw Zhao Jianhui staring at the tissue in her hand, and she couldn't help but think of the scene that day. Her face turned red and she whispered, "What are you looking at? Why don't you take it?"

At this time, Liu Ming, Cheng Ting, Gan Xiaoying and others were standing under the three towering giant pines, looking up at the giant pines that stood like pagodas. The pine cones on the treetops swayed in the wind, just like wind chimes hanging on the tower, and the "flowing springs and waterfalls" in front of them set off each other. The scenery was really charming, and no one noticed that the two people by the stream had any abnormal expressions.

"Thank you..." Zhao Jianhui said as he reached out and took the tissue from Le Jing's hand. His fingertips slid across her soft and slightly cool palm. Le Jing's face turned redder and her body trembled involuntarily.

"In today's wave of returning to nature, people are increasingly aware of the purity and greatness of nature, and are willing to appreciate the beautiful scenery of nature. If a resort is built here, it may really attract those rich people..." Le Jing avoided Zhao Jianhui's gaze and spoke in a low voice to cover up her embarrassment.

"Well, you are right, but it is not enough to have only a resort here. There are many strange plants and stones in the mountains where we just walked. If we can develop these strange stones and move those strange plants into flower pots, targeting big cities as the market, it may be considered an industry." Zhao Jianhui was also making small talk. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that this might really be a way.

There are more and more wealthy people in China now, and it is common for them to offer tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions for a piece of stone or a potted plant.

In the past, most of the strange stones were found in the south of the Yangtze River, but now several mountains are almost hollowed out. The Lingbi Stone in the Central Plains Province was not well-known at first, but hasn't it been developed very well in recent years? Everything is done by people. Maybe in a few years, Luanshan Immortal Source Stone will become famous at home and abroad.

If you want to take up this matter, you should arrange for people from the Provincial Academy of Sciences to inspect it after you return, and then invite some "experts" who are interested in flowers, plants, and rocks to take a look.

"Let's go." Zhao Jianhui whispered to Le Jing. Several people came down the mountain road beside the stream, and the off-road vehicle continued on the road. Forty minutes later, the car drove into the seat of Xianxian Township Government.

As the saying goes, the office building of Xianxi Township Government seems to be tainted with a luxurious atmosphere among the government agencies in Cuoyang City. Although the office building of the Xianxi Township Government is not as grand as the office building of the Luanshan County Government, let alone the government affairs centers of Quanshan City and Cuoyang City, it is still a five-story new building, with flying lights on the large square in front of the door. With several red flags.

The township government is located in the middle of mountains, and there are more than 70,000 people in the township. To have such great courage shows that the township cadres are still very capable of "advancing with the times."

"Get out of the car and take a walk!" Zhao Jianhui said, pushing the door open and getting out of the car. Instead of entering the township government, he strolled down the short street. This street is not wide to begin with, and it looks even narrower due to the various stalls lined on both sides of the road. It only took fifteen minutes to walk from the end of the street to the end of the street, not counting that Zhao Jianhui sometimes stopped to chat with the vendors on the roadside.

When walking back, Zhao Jianhui saw clearly that behind the township government building, there was a very disharmonious circle of old walls. Inside were several rows of old houses. There was a national flag flying on the roof of the front house. This way it looks like a school. After entering the door, opposite the dirt playground is the only building on campus, a two-story teaching building. You can tell by looking at it with your eyes that this teaching building must have an ancient history.

I walked around the school, accompanied by Cheng Ting, Le Jing, Gan Xiaoying, Liu Ming and others. The male ### looked a bit eye-catching, and soon a middle-aged man came over, quite... He said seriously: "What do you do? This is a school, not a vegetable market. Why are you walking around?"

The man was wearing a blue-gray cotton coat, with a crew cut, and a pair of thick glasses. Through the lenses, he was looking at Zhao Jianhui and others with a scrutinizing look.

"I was passing by and came in to take a look. I didn't say hello. I'm really sorry. Is this really a school? Is it a rural middle school or a primary school belonging to a certain village?" Zhao Jianhui said with a smile, reaching out and taking out a cigarette. Hand one over.

After taking the cigarette, the man first looked at the label, then put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it, took out the fire and lit it, took a nice puff, his face softened a little, and then he said: "Don't look down on me. We are a school, and our school produced some big names back then... Although they are all old houses, they were built with the approval of General Li personally in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, they were the best in the county... "

As he said that, the man took another puff of cigarette, sighed, shook his head and said: "This is the central middle school in the countryside. It is no longer available. You can take a look if you want. We are in class now. Don't disturb the students..."

"Excuse me, are you..." Zhao Jianhui asked with a smile.

"I am the principal of this school and have been teaching here for thirty years." The middle-aged man said as he looked at Zhao Jianhui and others: "At this time of year, the fur goods in the mountains are not rushing, so why don't you come here?" I'm afraid I'll be disappointed... However, you look like an official when you sit up there, not a businessman..."

Zhao Jianhui didn't expect the vicious look in this man's eyes. Just by looking at him just now, he could tell that he was not a businessman but an official.

Obviously, Zhao Jianhui's temperament developed over a long period of time in leadership positions betrayed him.

"More than half of the classrooms in this middle school have been demolished and rebuilt. Why haven't you reported the renovation? I think the building in front of your school is well built. Your village must be rich, right?" Zhao Jianhui did not pick up the middle-aged man. He didn't say anything, but pointed to the government office building in front and asked.

There was a trace of anger on the middle-aged man's face. Perhaps he saw that Zhao Jianhui and others were outsiders, so he took a sip and said angrily: "These days, even if the government has too much money and no place to spend it, no one will think about it." I’m building a school. Besides, there’s so much money in Xianxi Township. The money to build the building in front of me was paid by those private coal mine owners..."

In order to renovate the classroom, he reported this to the township and asked for money. Unfortunately, when the report was sent to the township and county, there was no response at all. The government office building in front of him was built without any hesitation, and it happened to be built in front of his school. It was quite annoying to think about this situation. Normally, he didn't dare to complain to the locals, but now he felt that Zhao Jianhui and others were outsiders. Since Zhao Jianhui asked, he just said a few more words.

However, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but feel strange after hearing this: "Is there a coal mine in your hometown? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The man pointed in the direction where Zhao Jianhui came from just now: "Why not? It's inside Luanshan Mountain, but those coal mines have been contracted by private parties. In order to make money, the township and county did not report them at all..."
