Part II Blood is Burning Chapter 152 The Magistrate's Abacus(1/2)
money!
By the way, Long Liexue has already made enough money. What about money?
land!
That's right, without land, schools cannot be built on the moon.
Now, the school’s land has become the biggest problem for Chu Zhendong and Long Liexu.
To build a school in a certain place in the provincial capital, which is as big as the Southwest Associated University, let’s not talk about the money issue. In terms of time, Chu Zhendong will not be allowed to delay this issue. If you want to get that piece of land, God knows how long it will take. Moreover, the money for buying that piece of land must be an astronomical figure. For Chu Zhendong now, he has to be careful in every penny. He really can’t spend too much money on land.
A great man does not mean having a building, but a master!
Where the school is built is not the most important thing, what matters is who is in the school.
The plan to build a school in the provincial capital was rejected by Chu Zhendong early on.
Where is the school built?
It can only be around the provincial capital.
Chu Zhendong only has two requirements for the construction location of the school, one is to have convenient transportation and the other is to have cheap land prices. There are also many places that meet these two requirements in the suburbs around the provincial capital.
At this moment, on January 24, Long Liexue promised Chu Zhendong's deadline. Early in the morning, more than 8 o'clock, the sun just came out, Long Liexue, Xiaopang, Chu Zhendong, and Chu Zhendong's secretary Wu Wei, four of them were riding the black BMW and left MK City in a flash and boarded a newly built highway.
Many issues were negotiated last night.
The one who drove was Xiaopang, and Wu Wei, Chu Zhendong and Long Liexu were sitting in the back row of the car.
Wu Wei turned his head from the front.
"County Magistrate He will wait for us there at nine o'clock. Originally, County Magistrate He said he would come to MK to pick us up today. But I asked me to refuse and let others run so far, I feel a little embarrassed."
After Chu Zhendong left Southwest Associated University, Wu Wei also left Southwest Associated University. A letter of introduction from Chu Zhendong gave him a job that could be envied by others. When he heard that Chu Zhendong was going to run a school, the man immediately quit his job and flew back to MK for thousands of miles, standing firmly beside Chu Zhendong, busying himself for Chu Zhendong without paying any salary. When Chu Zhendong was pulling people outside, Long Liexue and Xiaopang were fighting at the gambling table, the man broke his legs for the school land affairs in the provincial capital. He ran out of the land affairs, but he also lost weight. Relying on a bicycle, a kettle, a few pieces of dry food, the four districts, eight counties and villages in the provincial capital made him go around.
After learning about him, Long Liexue only sighed in his heart, what a man!
People are divided into groups and birds of feathers flock together. Without Chu Zhendong, there would be no secretary like Wu Wei.
County Mayor He, the one Wu Wei just mentioned, is the county magistrate of Chengchuan County. Chengchuan County is 90 kilometers away. Long Liexu and his group are going to go to that place to see the "land" prepared by the county magistrate for them.
In fact, there are no big rivers in Chengchuan. It has land there, just a lake, a second-largest deep-water lake in the country with an area of about 200 miles - Fuxian Lake!
In terms of administrative divisions, Chengchuan County is under the jurisdiction of MK City and is a county among the four districts and five counties in MK City. In terms of area, Chengchuan County is not only the largest county in MK City, but also the largest county in the province. Fuxian Lake with an area of 200 square kilometers is the Neihu of this county.
The black BMW ran around the winding mountains for almost an hour. In front were two emerald green peaks shaped like ingots. The car drove past the two ingots, and the scenery in front suddenly opened, and Fuxian Lake was already faintly looking at it.
It was also the first time that Long Liexue and Xiaopang came here.
Xiaopang shouted, "Wow, this is Fuxian Lake? It's really like a piece of jade!"
Xiaopang really couldn't think of more words to describe the scenery of Fuxian Lake in front of him. It was rippling blue waves and as clear as jade. The rising sun shone thousands of golden lights on the lake surface. Several fishermen's boats were casting nets on the lake, catching up the waves of lights. The surroundings of Fuxian Lake were surrounded by green mountains, as if they were the clear springs held by the gods.
It is beautiful here. Long Liexu feels that the Fuxian Lake in front of him is like the pure but uncontaminated eyes of a child.
The road extending from the mountains here becomes the lakeside road of Fuxian Lake. There are some sparse farmhouses and fields next to Fuxian Lake.
From a distance, there seems to be a small island in the lake.
A jeep was parked on the side of the road ahead, and someone was waving.
"That's County Magistrate He. He said he would wait for us here!"
Xiaopang leaned over.
Everyone got out of the car.
This is the first time that Long Liexue has seen this County Mayor He.
When the four of them got off the car, County Magistrate He came over enthusiastically, holding Wu Wei's hand with both hands and swayed it.
"I also said that if Secretary Wu doesn't come again, I will drive to the provincial capital to pick you up, hahahaha..."
County Magistrate He laughed generously. Taking this opportunity, Long Liexu carefully looked at County Magistrate He.
He is 50 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, very burly, without the beer belly that is common to officials, with short hair that is energetic, and has two dark eyebrows on his purple-black face, with wide nose and mouth, and is wearing very simple clothes. A sky blue short-sleeved shirt and gray pants, the color on his thick arms is a little darker than on his face, and some soil is stuck on his leather shoes, and there is no pampering smell on him. If people usually look at it, this person is like a farmer than a county magistrate.
"County Magistrate He, why are you the only one here?"
"Secretary Xiao Wang's mother is sick. That kid is quite filial. I took his leave and asked him to buy things to see his mother. Today, the county government also has a holiday, so I'll wait for you alone." Secretary Wu, you won't introduce these people to me."
Wu Wei first introduced Chu Zhendong, "This is Principal Chu who I mentioned to you!"
The county magistrate He had been looking at Chu Zhendong for a long time. After hearing Wu Wei's words, he was overjoyed. He walked to Chu Zhendong's hand with just one step, holding Chu Zhendong's hand in both hands, "I have heard of Principal Chu's name for a long time. Unfortunately, I am not well educated. I just went to high school and didn't go to high school.
Principal Chu’s students have always been my biggest regret when I was young. Today, Principal has fulfilled one of my wishes!”
Chu Zhendong smiled, "He...he... County Magistrate He is polite. I am just a laid-off teacher, but I can't afford to be a county Magistrate He's praise!"
"Don't call me County Magistrate He. If you like me, call me Xiao He. If you don't have the chance, you can call me the name He Zhijun. I don't have other specialties and don't have a high education, but it's just true. Don't be polite to me!"
Chu Zhendong looked at him carefully for seven or eight seconds and laughed, "Okay, I'll just rely on my seniority to call you Xiao He!"
"Are these two..." Looking at Long Liexue and Xiaopang, He Zhijun turned his confusing eyes to Wu Wei. After all, the age of Long Liexue and Xiaopang can really make people misunderstand.
Wu Wei laughed and introduced Long Liexue and Xiaopang to He Zhijun, "This is Mr. Long of Yilong Real Estate Company, this is Director Tu of Yilong Real Estate Company. Mr. Long is the big boss of the investment school. County Magistrate He should not read it wrong."
In such an occasion, Wu Wei’s introduction is only more appropriate.
He Zhijun was stunned for almost half a minute, and it was not until Long Liexu reached out his hand before he could react. His hands were held together with Long Liexu's hands, "I didn't expect that Mr. Long and Director Tu are so young. What a real thing... By the way, what a hero is like!"
Xiaopang likes to hear these words the most. Xiaopang’s face was so funny that he was laughing.
Feeling that He Zhijun's hands were rough, Long Liexu said sincerely, "County Principal He is so polite. After all, we two are just a student of Principal Chu. We just have a little ability to help Principal Chu do something."
After shook hands with Long Liexue, He Zhijun shook hands enthusiastically with Xiaopang. With his insistence, Long Liexue, Xiaopang and Wu Wei called him Lao He.
After a greeting, the people on both sides got on their own cars, and He Zhijun drove in front and Xiaopang drove behind. The people on both sides wanted to see the "land" prepared by He Zhijun for the school.
The car drove around Fuxian Lake for less than ten minutes. The car in front stopped, and Xiaopang also stopped.
Is it this place that Xiaopang got out of the car and looked around. On the left side of the road, there is the beautiful Fuxian Lake, and on the right side of the road, there is a vast flat ground with weeds. A little further away, the flat ground turns into a slope, extending towards the green hills on both sides. There seems to be a lot of content behind the hills, but unfortunately I can't see clearly on the road.
"Is it here?" Xiaopang asked.
He Zhijun nodded and pointed to a small hill bag on the slope. "I can't see clearly here, so it's clearer that we climbed onto that hill bag."
The hill bag is about fifty or sixty meters high. Usually, few people would climb here, but it is not difficult to climb. He Zhijun led the way, and the four of them climbed to the top of the slope in just a few minutes, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became wider.
"It's there!"
"Wow!" Xiaopang shouted.
From the terrain, it is connected to this place. The terrain is not very high. It extends along the beautiful Fuxian Lake in an "m" shape. What surprised Xiaopang is the scenery of this area. In the distance, Xiaopang also saw a small waterfall gushing out of the mountainside. The short green mountains and hills are scattered there like pearls. The vast cross-land valleys flow in the streams in the mountains, the slopes, the small flowers blooming on the flat ground and the green plants...
That area is very big. At a glance, Xiaopang can be sure that this area is more than thirty or fifty times larger than the campus of Southwest Associated University in the provincial capital, and perhaps even bigger.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of him blankly, and there was a hint of excitement on Chu Zhendong's face. He didn't even breathe much when he climbed the hill just now. But now, looking at the land in front of him, Chu Zhendong was excited.
"The area of this area is about 1,400 hectares, including those flat land, mountains and valleys. I wonder if you want to finish it?"
It's time to finish, why can't it be finished? Long Liexu glanced at Chu Zhendong and found that Chu Zhendong seemed to be a little obsessed with looking at that land.
Long Liexu nodded, "This area is a bit large, but it would be almost the same if you run a university here."
He heard Long Liexue's words, He Zhijun grinned and said, "To be honest, although Chengchuan County is the largest county in the province in terms of area, economically, this county can definitely rank among the poorest counties in the province." Speaking of this, He Zhijun, standing on the mountain bag, pointed to a place near the lake in the distance, "No, look, that small town is the county town of our county. To be honest, if you want to talk about the prosperity, we
The county town is not even as good as a small town on the outskirts of the provincial capital. The people's lives are quite hard. They either fish and plant land or plant trees and open up land. They can't save a lot of money in a year. I can count the people with cars in our county by fingers. One word is poor!" The man sighed, "Since I became the county magistrate of this county, I have had a good sleep in a few days. I have been thinking about how to make the people here rich every day."
Xiaopang said at this time, "Old He, how did you become the county magistrate here?" Xiaopang has been holding on to this question for a long time.
"It's a long story. I didn't plan to be an official in this life. After graduating from high school, I went to the army. After demobilization, I went home and had nothing to do at home. I went out to do a lot of money. I went out to do a lot of money and made a little money. The villagers in the village knew that I had made a fortune, so they chose me as the village chief. I hoped that I could take everyone to work with me and be the village chief for two years. The lives of the villagers in the village had indeed improved. So the leaders of the county promoted me to the township and worked in the township for several years. I didn't know that
Why was the leader above me so I was the county magistrate for no reason? "The county magistrate, I realized that it was difficult to be a county magistrate, and it was even more difficult to be a county magistrate in a poor county. You said, as both people, everyone has arms and legs, why can't we get rich? Every time I go to the top to ask for money, my face will be itchy. I just want money crazy, ha...he... You say I am a big man, and it's not a skill to get money for myself. Sitting in the position of the county magistrate, you have to have the ability to get money for the people to be a skill."
"Then Lao He, how did you do it?" Xiaopang asked him.
"How to do it? To make the people have money in their pockets, the only way is to invite you gods of wealth. When Secretary Wu came to the county government to find me that day, I really couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen. Someone wanted to invest in and run a university in our place. When I heard this, I thought to myself, OK, I really hope for it. University. If there is a university in Chengchuan County and a university run by President Chu, it would be a good thing for the people in our county to fall from the sky!"
"We are not the God of Wealth!" Long Liexue said with a smile.
"Why isn't it? In my eyes, you are more effective than the God of Wealth provided by your family. If you want to run a university, you always have to build a building. Once you build a building, you always have to use sand and stones. If you want to use these things, you can't go to the provincial capital to pull it. How much does it cost to travel back and forth? You can only buy these things from us. Once you buy them, the quarry and sand mining farms in our county can survive and make money and make money. Those who drive trucks and tractors in the county can also make a fortune. Although building a building is a one-time transaction, if you want to build a building worth hundreds of millions of yuan, the transaction is not small. Our county can at least say that it can add hundreds of thousands of yuan households, and the boss who has money to buy a car will also have a few more. This is just one of them."
"What about the second one?"
"Second, I think that if your school is built, students and teachers will always come to class. People always have to eat. Those students and teachers cannot go to the fields to grow vegetables, pigs and chickens in person."
Long Liexu nodded.
"That's right. If you want to eat, the people here can sell the things they grow in the fields and raise at home to you. This is an income for them. The more people you have, the higher their income. You don't know that the people here are now. The farmers, the many things they grow in the fields, can't sell them at home, and they can only produce and sell them themselves. Many of them are wasted. Seeing that the fruits on the trees are not picked and rotted in the fields, and seeing that the vegetables are not finished, they become fertilizers. I really feel sorry for them. By this, how can the people's pockets be bulging?"
“Is there a third one?”
"Yes, of course, there is, this third point is the most important thing." He Zhijun smiled cheerfully, "Although we are very poor now, we also know where our advantages lies. Our county, transportation is not as good as the provincial capital. When it comes to specialties, there are not many. There are only a few fish and a few fruits everywhere, but there is one thing here that is not as good as other places, that is, the green mountains and clear waters here, especially this lake. During my business years, I have traveled many places across the country, but to be honest, I have not seen many places with beautiful things here, boiling... 未分...正...正未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未分行未�
There are really not many places like this in China. Now all provinces are playing the tourism card, and the province also supports it. The green mountains and clear waters of our county are the best card. As long as they play well, it will work better than anything else. People outside know that there are not many here, but as long as Principal Chu’s university is built, students from all over the country will be able to play the reputation of Chengchuan. The better the school is in your area, the more popular the people here will be, the richer the people here. A few days ago, there was a cement factory and a paper mill in the province who wanted to come to us to invest. Although their investment amount was large, we did not agree. We would not put one of those companies that pollute the environment. We also had to keep a trend and make that smoke-free industry the pillar of the county.”
After hearing He Zhijun's words, Xiaopang and the others were a little impressed. Although County Magistrate He kept saying that his education was not high, his abacus was better than anyone else. No wonder he was promoted to the county magistrate here. It is estimated that the promotion of other people also made him aware of this characteristic. He worked hard, could use his brain, and could think about the people.
Chu Zhendong had been looking carefully at the beautiful land that He Zhijun pointed at him, and his expression was a little excited. It was not until this time that he came back to his senses and said, "This place will become Cornell University in the East."
Long Liexue had just been thinking about how much it would cost to "rend" this place, more than 1,400 hectares, that is, more than 21,000 acres. Although this place is a mountainous land, it is not expensive, but it probably won't be cheap. However, He Zhijun's words made everyone fall into glasses.
"Do you know how the people we rented these wastelands and hills to the people here?"
To be continued...
