During the meal, Wang Yong talked a lot with the secretary, talking about the past, the present, and the future. Most of the time, the secretary was alone and nagging about the suffering and helplessness of the village since its founding.

As for the current poverty of the village, it is certainly impossible to solve it by just one or two donations.

To completely change the poor and backward appearance here, an old saying goes: It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

If people here cannot master the ability or industry that can make them have a better life, donate more money, it will be meaningless.

Wang Yong thought about it for a long time, and based on local reality, he really couldn't find any good projects. A shortage of water caused most projects to die.

There is no problem in creating some drought-resistant plants, but this is not helpful in solving the problem of local water shortage. It is just to improve the local environment.

Maybe I should first find a way to solve the problem of water use in daily production. If this problem is solved, other problems can be easily solved.

But how to solve the local water shortage?

Repair of a reservoir? This thing is OK in the long run. But it is not enough to relieve near-facing thirst! It takes a year to build a larger reservoir, right? As for when the water in the reservoir can be filled, only God knows!

Building a canal and diverting water from other places? This is a good idea, but the people and things involved in this method are too big, and it is not something that individuals can do at all. It requires the country and at least the provincial government to coordinate and arrange it.

Wang Yong had a headache. When he was thinking of some way to help his compatriots in these poor areas, a barking sound came from outside the door, and then a sound came in.

"Does anyone at home?"

"Ah! Isn't this the voice of Township Mayor Zhang?"

The secretary, who was already a little confused, heard this sound and shouted in surprise, and immediately woke up most of the time. He stood up, jumped out of the pit, pulled his shoes and ran out.

Not long after, he led two people in.

"Wang Yong, let me introduce it to you. This is Secretary Liu and Mayor Zhang from our township."

"Oh! You are Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry. Mr. Wang came to us and couldn't even entertain us well. I'm so sorry!"

Secretary Liu stepped forward and held Wang Yong's hand. He was very enthusiastic and apologized.

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood. It must be the primary school principal Zhang Shiping who sold him, otherwise he would not have alarmed these two local tyrants so quickly.

But it’s no wonder that people are here to help the poor. If someone finally came here to help the poor, if they didn’t tell these two people, it would be impossible for Principal Zhang to leave after the news of Wang Yong’s arrival here spread.

"It's okay. When we came here, our superiors asked us to have an undercover visit. We actually learned the first-hand information about the local area. By the way, have you two eaten? Why don't we talk while eating?"

"Okay, that's a problem!"

Secretary Liu was not polite at all. He followed Wang Yong's words and responded.

"Yuanyuan, go to the car to get some canned food and ham sausages. By the way, there is also a watermelon in the car, and you can also bring it."

The table was already in a mess, and it was really not suitable for entertaining guests. Wang Yong simply asked his wife to go to the car to get some canned food and ham sausages and other current foods. He had a good chat with these two local snakes who had just arrived.

If you really want to find a good way to help the people here get rid of poverty and become rich, these two local snakes should be considered very critical figures. At least they are more familiar with the situation here than ordinary people, and they also know what they need most.

Soon, Yuanyuan and Sister Yao removed some leftovers from the table, and then served the canned food that Yuanyuan took on a plate and a bowl.

There are many varieties of canned food in Wang Yong's car, and there are four types of canned fish alone. Anchovies, Wuchang fish, fermented black beans, and crispy silverfish. They are all eaten directly, but they are all cold, so Yuanyuan cooked in person, and fried them with wild vegetables.

In addition to canned fish, there are also canned fruits and canned pickles, such as enoki mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded pickles, kimchi, etc., which can be as many as six or seven kinds.

There is also sausage, which was fried by Sister Yao with scallions. The sausage mixed with scallions, and after heating, the aroma was so tempting that both of them, as secretary and village chief, began to drool.

"Don't be polite, everyone should eat first."

"Yeah, it smells so good!"

"tasty!"

"With this opportunity, on behalf of the villagers of Hongtuliang Township, I would like to welcome Mr. Wang's arrival. Let's do one."

"No, don't, drink slowly. I still have some things to ask you for advice. If you drink too much, it will delay the trouble." Wang Yong quickly interrupted. He had already drunk a lot just now, so there was no need, let alone discussing things with these two people.

The secretary holding the wine glass also remembered that he was here to inspect, and he was not a good guy from the past.

The so-called poverty alleviation thing that came here in the past, but it was not enough to let the county eat and drink to serve, so it would throw out two money in disdain. When did you come to such a remote village for a secret visit? Today, it seems that Mr. Wang is indeed unique.

First of all, when they came here this time, they didn’t mobilize all their troops, just two people and one car. It can be said that the light cars have become simpler, which is indeed different from the "big masters" who came before, and they are crowded with each other.

Secondly, people came here to make an undercover investigation. They didn’t deal with the government first, but went to the front line of rural areas to obtain first-hand information. It was really not easy for a young man from the city to let go of his identity and get along with the farmers.

In the end, people even gave out food for themselves. Although they didn’t know how much these things cost, one thing was certain, that is, they were definitely much more expensive than the things that the owner took out.

Not to mention those canned foods that taste so good, they are those two big watermelons. In the Red Tuliang area, very few can eat a bite.

Therefore, Secretary Liu looked at Wang Yong very highly. When Wang Yong said that, he no longer insisted. Instead, he pecked at the wine in the glass, and then raised his glass to signal Wang Yong. That's what you mean. Please feel free to do.

After drinking for a while, Wang Yong began to talk about the serious matters.

"I think Principal Zhang has already told you about our purpose this time. Do you know what you two have good ideas about helping local villagers get rid of poverty and become rich?"

Wang Yong's question suddenly silenced the two parents.

The two of them who have worked here for half their lives have a good understanding of the local situation. The environment here is harsh, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are no competitive specialties and resources.

The two of them are the most troublesome to the economic development in their jurisdiction. They don’t think of ways from time to time, but there is really no good idea.

Seeing that the people in the village are suffering from poverty every year, life is worse than death, children cannot afford to study, so they can only go to other places at a young age and work hard for life. Even so, most people cannot completely change their destiny for poverty.

Brothers and nephews cannot afford to marry their wives, those who are sick cannot afford to see a doctor, and even those who are sick cannot afford to eat meat during the Chinese New Year. This is too common in this land.

But there is no way, at least I really have no way to change this situation. It is not without trying, but every time the result is a waste of money and most of them accept their fate.

I don’t know when such a rumor appeared. This is a place that was abandoned or punished by God. No one or any way can help the people here get rid of poverty and live a good life.

However, Secretary Liu, as a party member and local parent, did not believe it. He firmly believed that there must be a way to completely keep these kind and suffering people away from poverty and become truly prosperous.

From Wang Yong and Yuanyuan, he saw hope. This is what really came to help the poor peasants here, not to show off and win fame and fortune. Secretary Liu firmly believed it.

"I also learned that the main problem faced here is traffic and harsh environment. As for the roads, the country is now implementing a plan to open roads in every village. I also know some people in the central government. After going back, I will try to build the roads for us as soon as possible. With the roads, many of the difficulties we are currently facing will be easily solved."

"If you want to be rich, do you need to build roads first? You know this."

It is obvious that the secretary of Dapo Village obviously drank a little too much, and Ken was not aware of the great help that Wang Yong said to the situation where poverty is difficult to eliminate.

As the township party secretary and township head, they certainly understand what changes Wang Yong said would bring to this poor township if he really could accomplish this.

Therefore, both of them were so excited that they couldn't speak, and they didn't know how to express their feelings at this moment.

I have long wanted to build the road. However, as a national-level poverty-stricken county, as a poor town with an average annual income of only about 600 yuan, I can only imagine building the road.

Not to mention the villages and counties do not have this ability, and even the city does not have the ability to build roads for all poor areas.

Wang Yong did not care about the excitement of these two people, but continued to speak his thoughts.

"In addition to building roads, there are also solutions to the problem. I think this way, there are two ways. One is to find a place to build a large reservoir to store water, and the other is to divert water, build a water diversion channel, and lure water from other places over."

As soon as Wang Yong finished speaking, Township Mayor Zhang frowned.

"Mr. Wang, I admit that what you said can solve the problem of water shortage in the region to a certain extent. But both methods are a bit unrealistic! The investment is too large, and Kenben is not something that our township or our county can afford."

Township Mayor Zhang's words were filled with endless emotion and helplessness. After all, it was just one word - "poor"!

Of course, Wang Yong knew that these two methods cost huge amounts of money, so Wang Yong couldn't make up his mind before.

However, when I thought of the black and thin Zhang Min who I saw in school before, her head that was like black mud and was struggling with hair, it made her look much bigger than normal.

Only those pair of eyes full of desire made the poor child look so angry.

In the corner, there is a group of people who have the same nationality, the same skin color, the same bloodline, and the same longing for happiness, hoping that the sunlight that originally belonged to them can break through the dark clouds and sprinkle on this land that has suffered hardships.

Wang Yong secretly made up his mind. (To be continued...)
