004, I am not the traffic director
Chen Guobin rode his bike with Zhao Yaqin. He was walking along National Highway No. 6 at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, easily shuttled between the undulating hills of the village from time to time. Looking around, the mountains and fields are all over the country, which makes people feel very happy.
Although the National Highway No. 6 under your feet is called the national highway, it is actually a relatively narrow third-level road with not many bumps on the road, which is much better than the key provincial highway that needs to be renovated. However, there are also much fewer cars here. It takes a while to see a car, so you don’t have to eat dust all the time. This kind of journey is a kind of enjoyment - if they are tourists, of course.
Since getting in the car, the two of them have not spoken for a long time. Zhao Yaqin has been paying attention to the surrounding environment along the way, and her mind is running at high speed at the same time. Chen Guobin knows it well and will never interrupt her strategy. In fact, he doesn't know what to say between the two. This awkward relationship often makes people feel awkward.
"Why are there so few cars on this national highway?" Zhao Yaqin suddenly said, "I think the road conditions are pretty good."
Compared to Chen Guobin, who has been in the Municipal Transportation Bureau for more than two years, Zhao Yaqin knows that she is a newcomer and is far less familiar with the traffic environment than him, so she is not ashamed to ask questions.
Chen Guobin easily took it: "In comparison, the road conditions of National Highway No. 7 are much better. It is basically parallel to National Highway No. 6, and is only 30 to 40 kilometers apart. Long-distance buses will inevitably choose to take National Highway No. 7. In fact, due to the overlap in functions, National Highway No. 6 is essentially only a local route, and there is no difference from provincial highways. In this area, the economy of several counties connected to National Highway No. 6 is relatively backward, so there are naturally not many cars. The economic level determines the traffic flow!"
"So?" Zhao Yaqin focused, "Then it wouldn't be much more meaningful to repair this road or not?"
"That's the case for the time being." Chen Guobin nodded gently and said casually: "But the economic level is not a constant thing. With the development of the economy, road conditions will inevitably be required to increase the corresponding road conditions. At the same time, road conditions and economic development are also closely related to economic development. If you want to be rich, you should build roads first. This is not just a slogan. Any economic activity cannot be separated from the circulation link, and transportation conditions are the most critical part of circulation. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a key bottleneck. In fact, a good road can make the areas it radiates to, regardless of existing or potential economic activities, fully utilize. Highways are essentially a public means of production with an extremely wide range of use, which is one of the core conditions for a regional development potential."
Listening, Zhao Yaqin seemed to have some understanding and her understanding of the connotation of the road was deepened.
She sighed helplessly: "The road conditions in Pingjiang are too poor. If you delay it for a while, other regions will run further ahead. It will be much more difficult for Pingjiang to catch up with you. For Pingjiang, time is too important!"
Chen Guobin smiled: "If you sing a mountain song on any mountain, just develop reasonably according to your own conditions. If possible, overdrawing all of the fiscal expenditures for ten years will be used for the current infrastructure, which will definitely achieve great benefits. But the problem is that this is not allowed overall."
"What about the local one?" Zhao Yaqin asked playfully.
Chen Guobin joked: "What is speculation? It depends on the means. Whoever sees it more thoroughly, foresees further, and walks ahead of others will naturally get more extra benefits."
Zhao Yaqin immediately became interested and said with emotion: "Now we are paying attention to tourism everywhere, and our Pingjiang tourism conditions are still very good. If we can create a tourism brand with reputation, that would be great, but the road is too bad."
"Don't always tell me that the road is too bad, okay?" Chen Guobin was speechless, "I'm not the director of transportation, so I can't help you."
Zhao Yaqin snorted and said angrily: "I'm going to say it! Let you feel pressure every day, and repair that provincial road as soon as possible!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them became quiet and were a little uncomfortable with this way of speaking.
After the meeting, Chen Guobin coughed twice and said earnestly: "Yaqin, it's a matter of time to build a road, but according to our current system, if we don't think of other solutions, we can only wait. In fact, developing the economy is a comprehensive topic, which is far from being just a simple road construction. Even the road construction itself is developing the economy, because it will undoubtedly directly create GDP. I think more important is to study a development plan that is truly based on local reality and is in line with the source of funds."
After hesitating for a moment, he continued to give in: "In fact, the resources held by the government are very large, but they are not fully utilized. Policies, land, natural resources, scenic spot resources, etc. are all immeasurable huge potential wealth. As long as their prospects are fully displayed and corresponding appropriate means are taken, they can attract the huge amount of money that is profit-oriented. And as long as you have money, everything will be easy!"
Zhao Yaqin became more and more surprised: "This is what you mentioned earlier, right?"
Chen Guobin smiled but said nothing, but he felt that his nominal wife was still pretty good at it. In fact, some things that seemed very simple in later generations were not simple at this time. Crabs must be eaten first before they can gradually let everyone know that crabs can be eaten.
Zhao Yaqin did not continue to ask questions, but carefully reviewed the conversation just now and further deepened her understanding. However, she insisted that it was just Chen Guobin talking on paper, it was useless to him, but it was very inspiring to her. It was a model for the speaker to be unintentional and the listener to be intentional.
The villages and towns passing by on the road inevitably make people feel a lifeless and depressed feeling, especially Zhao Yaqin, who recalled the feeling of visiting relatives in the countryside when she was a child, but it was a particularly lively and joyful scene, and the contrast with the present is too strong.
"Why are it so quiet everywhere?" After passing another village on the road, Zhao Yaqin could not help but talk to herself.
Chen Guobin sighed a little: "People go to high places and water flows to low places. The conditions here cannot retain young and middle-aged laborers with longing. Most of them went to the coast and contributed to the economic takeoff there. At the same time, family planning has also significantly reduced the new generation. If there are fewer children, the anger will naturally decrease. This is normal. In fact, it is still good now. If the economy is not accelerated, this situation will be even worse in a few years."
Zhao Yaqin was surprised again, but after being surprised a few times, she became accustomed to Chen Guobin's wild and deeply felt: "Yes! Labor is a very important part of the economic development of a region. We cannot allow this situation to further intensify. We must find ways to retain the labor force and contribute to the economic development of our hometown. Otherwise, the gap between the rich and the poor in the region will inevitably widen further."
Chen Guobin drove a motorcycle and continued to maintain a slow speed, with a hint of sadness: "People living on this land were once restricted by the system and could hardly leave their homes and could not understand the outside world. Now this opportunity has come and a large climate has formed. It is probably not easy to stop them from being curbed for too long. There is too much work to do. In any case, this great migration activity that leaves the hometown does not conform to the essence of society after all. After all, every family has elderly people, children, and women. They stay at home for a long time will cause serious emotional deficiencies, which cannot be measured in psychological damage. But reality is helpless. People cannot truly realize this, at least at present, how small the spirit is compared with material things."
He did not further elaborate on the problems of left-behind children, left-behind elderly people and left-behind women. In fact, the problems of left-behind women are even more serious and are not even more difficult to understand deeply by future generations.
Zhao Yaqin was deeply touched and had not spoken for a long time, but at this time, her determination to drive the people of the county to accelerate their prosperity was unprecedentedly firm.
Forty-five kilometers north from the county town, you will reach Nanjiang, the largest city in the north of Pingjiang, which is located at the intersection of National Highway No. 6 and Provincial Highway No. 34. At the same time, Nanjiang is also the border area of Nanhu Province. It only takes more than ten kilometers north of National Highway No. 6 to reach Beihu Province. From Provincial Highway No. 34, which travels westward, you can reach Lingyang city after about 80 kilometers. It is another highway leading to the city in the county, and the road conditions are comparable to National Highway No. 6.
Due to the above factors, Nanjiang Town’s status in Pingjiang is particularly prominent, and it is the place Zhao Yaqin plans to focus on during this private visit.
However, except for the more small shops, there are more open-air stalls on the street, and there are a little more vehicles. There is no sign of any feature here. Everything seems chaotic, and the sound of horns incessantly are particularly noisy. However, because pedestrians and stalls compete for roads and occupy roads, there is no order, which makes the already narrow street even more crowded. It is no wonder that the drivers who are driving like snails make such an urgent move.
Zhao Yaqin frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with this messy environment.
Chen Guobin directly filtered the environment and quickly glanced at a wonton stew stall at the intersection. Judging from his relatively strong popularity, he should still have a reputation.
It was already past 11:00 in the morning. Just as it was lunch, Chen Guobin turned his head and suggested, "Yaqin, let's go to eat something first? It's normal for a small place to not follow the rules, just get used to it."
Zhao Yaqin said in a daze. In this rare noisy environment, she was not easy to be calm and could not help but be more obedient. At the same time, she took out a pair of large sunglasses that had been prepared from her pocket, took off her helmet and put it on.
Soon, Chen Guobin rode his motorcycle directly to the stall and shouted at the magnificently: "Boss, come two big bowls of wonton stew, add more chili peppers in one bowl, and less chili peppers in one bowl!"
"Okay!" A man in his thirties who was in his thirties fucking a big spoon looked back and smiled and greeted enthusiastically: "Look for a place to sit by yourself. It will be fine soon!"
After parking the car, Chen Guobin and Zhao Yaqin sat next to each other at a small table. The table was only half a person tall, so they could only sit on a small stool. Zhao Yaqin felt not used to it and was also a little novel. Zhao Yaqin naturally had some thoughts about the hygiene of roadside stalls, but she didn't say it out. She felt that she could not look too much like a young lady, and she really wanted to experience this kind of life.
Sharing suffering with the people cannot be just empty talk.
When Zhao Yaqin gradually adapted to the environment here and carefully observed the street conditions, Chen Guobin was playing and looked at her very young. Although she often acted strongly, she was sometimes weak, and she felt a little unreal. Is this the parents' official in Pingjiang County?
He felt a little funny and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Yaqin accidentally discovered the expression on his face, and immediately sensitively noticed the possible thoughts in his heart, and was immediately angry: "I'm not here to see the scenery!"
Chen Guobin laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that your image is quite special. Haven't you seen many people looking at you?" He thrust his mouth to both sides.
"Yeah?"
Zhao Yaqin swept around when she heard the sound, but found that others looked away and did not dare to make direct contact with her, who was of high temperament. She couldn't help but feel funny. After snorting at Chen Guobin, she didn't say anything more.
After the wontons were stewed on the table, Chen Guobin gave the bowl of less chili to Zhao Yaqin, and then he spooned a spoonful of red soup and sent it directly into his mouth. Under the exaggerated attention of her rolling tongue and shaking her head, she exaggeratedly exaggeratedly, which was very satisfying.
"How can I finish eating so much?" Looking at the big bowl in front of me, Zhao Yaqin frowned and said with a spoon in her frown.
"It's just a bowl of soup." Chen Guobin shook his head and smiled, "Eat it first, and the amount you eat is as much as you eat." Of course he knew that this was not a charity, and the portion was actually not much.
"oh!"
Zhao Yaqin was soon surprised to find that the taste was really satisfying and her appetite suddenly increased. When she couldn't scoop a wonton to stew, she still felt that her stomach was empty and wanted to eat it.
Chen Guobin endured the funny thing and turned around and shouted loudly: "Boss..."
