The Pentium Era - South to North

The village representative meeting lasted for two days, and almost under Zhang Xiangbei's education and supervision, it got on the right track. Everyone was able to start discussions in strict accordance with Robert's rules of procedure.

After they really got on the right track, everyone quickly felt that this kind of meeting was indeed very efficient, and it gave people a very high-end feeling. They had never held such a meeting before, and even Erpi had to change his attitude when he arrived in the conference room. Be polite.

Pang Shuangxi and Lao Jiao watched their meeting for a long time and were very surprised. Pang Shuangxi and Zhang Xiangbei said, I have never seen such a meeting. No, no, I have seen it, but it seems that I have only seen it on TV, haha. , this is the most advanced meeting we have held in Linxia.

When Xiang Yiyun was not going to the county town to do business, she, Feng Shengkuan and Ma Touqin also attended the village representative meeting. At night, they continued to discuss the day on Feng Shengkuan's bed, which was also the table tennis table in the office. s meeting.

After Feng Shengkuan arrived, Zhang Xiangbei asked him to set up another bed in his room. Feng Shengkuan quickly said no, no, I can't sleep in the same room with you. Not only do I snore while sleeping, but I also grind my teeth, which is like a machine gun firing. Read When I was in college, my dorm roommates called me the Big Devil, and they had to wear earplugs to sleep at night.

"Then I'll have nightmares just listening to it." Xiang Yiyun said.

Anyway, it is summer now, so a straw mat and a towel can be used. Feng Shengkuan slept on the table tennis table in the office. Zhang Xiangbei said:

"This is probably the most versatile table tennis table in the world. You can play table tennis, hold meetings, eat, and sleep."

"It can also be used as a painting table for me." Ma Touqin said, and the four of them laughed.

All the experiences gained in Nianzigou Village need to be promoted in other places. When they discussed in the evening, everyone not only had to take notes, but also videotaped and sent the text and video to Wu Huan. Wu Huan said:

"Are you making a revolution in the valley?"

Zhang Xiangbei laughed loudly and said that it was very appropriate. This place really feels like our base.

County Magistrate Liu directly supervised the application of the company's business license, and it was quickly completed. The company's land planning has already begun. Sanbao ended the project in hand ahead of schedule, returned to the village with his people, and immediately became the general manager of his engineering department.

Also returning at about the same time as them were some twenty villagers from Nianzigou Village who were working outside. When they heard that a company had been established in the village, they all quit their jobs and hurried back.

These people are all regular laborers. Lao Jiao arranged for them to work in Sanbao's engineering department. The engineering department is currently carrying out several projects at the same time. It is a time when there is a shortage of people. Lao Jiao and Sanbao said, if necessary, I will mobilize the whole village , No, no, all the people in the company and their families will work voluntarily to support you.

After the company was established, just like Yubei Company, Zhang Xiangbei and Lao Jiao said that everyone should start to forget the concept of village and become familiar with and accustomed to the concept of company.

The Villagers’ Representative Committee, also renamed the Employee Representative Committee, met and decided that the village road must be overhauled, that is, all the various types of buildings on both sides of the road that had been built by everyone and encroached on the collective land must be demolished.

When discussing how to dismantle it, Ma Damu’s wife raised a question. She said:

"It's not enough to just demolish the things on both sides of the road. The people being demolished will be unconvinced and ask why only theirs are demolished. If we want to demolish them, we should just demolish all these things in the whole village at once. After they are demolished, they will not be allowed to build again. It will also save you trouble in the future, if it’s difficult, just do it once.”

Everyone thought Ma Damu's wife's proposal was very good. After discussion, they approved her proposal and requested the village committee's cooperation and support.

"No problem, we will issue a notice immediately. Anyone who does not demolish it within the specified time will not be approved by our village committee for future homestead approval, including the renovation of their old houses. I don't believe they can be punished." Pang Shuangxi said.

Xiang Evian has worked on old city renovation projects and knows how difficult it is to demolish illegal buildings. Demolition of illegal buildings is even more difficult than ordinary demolition. In ordinary demolition, the two parties struggle with the compensation conditions. As long as the conditions are agreed upon, the demolition will go smoothly. , there are no conditions to negotiate for illegal buildings, they are demolished unconditionally without any compensation.

Zhang Xiangbei said, can we give you some compensation?

"If that's the case, then you are asking for trouble. How to set the standard of compensation? If you set it low, it means nothing. It will still meet their requirements. If you set it high, aren't you encouraging evil? Honestly, there is no illegal construction. There is no money, but there is compensation for illegal construction. What is the truth? If this is the case, after this demolition, everyone will build illegal construction, and the scale will become larger and larger.

"It will happen again that you are demolishing the project in front of you, while others are doing urgent construction work behind them, just to ask for your compensation. There are too many problems here."

As Xiang Yiyun spoke, Pang Shuangxi and Lao Jiao nodded, feeling that what Xiang Yiyun said made sense, and it was true.

Pang Shuangxi said: "The collective land has been used in vain for them for so long. It would be fine if they were not fined. They must also be compensated. Mr. Zhang, you can't use your kindness indiscriminately."

Zhang Xiangbei raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Okay, I don't understand the actual situation. What you said makes sense."

Xiang Yiyun asked Lao Jiao: "Is this kind of disorderly construction in the village serious?"

Lao Jiao said: "More or less, every family will have a little bit."

"That's very common." Xiang Yiyun said, "In this case, the notice cannot be issued immediately, and there cannot be a hard fight. If so, it is likely to arouse widespread opposition. The opposition will gather momentum and the two sides will form a confrontation. This matter will be difficult to handle.”

"What should we do?" Pang Shuangxi asked.

“Take it step by step.” Xiang Yiyun said, “The first step is to publicize this change of roads, water, toilets and the appearance of the whole village, so that everyone knows that this is a good thing. .

"The second step is to publicize the necessity of demolishing illegal buildings. While publicizing, village cadres and villager representatives will demolish it in their own homes first, and then mobilize their relatives and friends to demolish it together. The demolition must be done quickly. If they agree, they will demolish it immediately. , leaving no time for hesitation and waiting.

"As long as some people are demolished, the village will become two camps, those who are demolished and those who are not, and they will not work together to deal with us.

"The more people demolish, the more pressure will be placed on those who have not demolished. If a notice is issued at this time, the people who have demolished will definitely stand with the village committee and support its decision, and the villagers' representatives will also stand with the village committee. On the other hand, if we continue to work at this time, some people will continue to dismantle it.

"Those who still insist on not demolishing are the die-hards. There is no other way at this time, so they have to demolish by force. The die-hards are not monolithic. They have one characteristic, that is, there must be leaders behind them. Some people are encouraging everyone not to demolish, and demolition is also forced. Prioritize it, don’t target everyone, just target the two or three families who are instigating it from behind.

"At this time, most of the villagers have already demolished, and they must support the village committee. Those who have not demolished, and those who have been instigated, will remain silent and continue to watch the wind. As long as they concentrate their efforts, the two or three If the leading household demolishes it, the others will follow their lead and demolish it.”

"It's really a battle of wits and courage." Pang Shuangxi said with a smile, "Okay, just do as President Xiang said. Those families who are stubbornly resisting will be left to me. I will lead the engineering team and militia to demolish them. I don't believe it. , I still can’t kill them.”

Zhang Xiangbei had a dispute with Pang Shuangxi, Xiang Yiyun and the others. It was not just the two of them, but everyone stood on the opposing side, leaving Zhang Xiangbei alone.

The cause of the dispute was the public toilets in the village. When Sanbao and the others came out with their drawings, Zhang Xiangbei looked at them and asked Sanbao to change the squat pits in all the cubicles into toilets. Sanbao was startled and shouted:

"Are these converted to flush toilets?"

Zhang Xiangbei is right. In the United States, there are no squatting pits at all. All public toilets are flush toilets.

Sanbao said: "But here, even in the county town, I know that there is only the best hotel. The toilet in Linxia Hotel is a flush toilet, and the others are not. It is inappropriate to install a flush toilet here, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xiangbei's decision was opposed not only by Sanbao, but also by Pang Shuangxi, Evian Laojiao and everyone else. Ma Touqin said:

"I have worked as a waiter in a hotel, and I know best. Not to mention the flush toilet, these people are asked to defecate into the pit instead of outside. They can't even flush it with water after defecating."

Xiang Yiyun also said: "Except for five-star hotels, even in Lanzhou and Yinchuan, I have never seen public toilets with flush toilets, not even airports. If flush toilets are used in villages, I can guarantee that within three days, the toilets will be empty." The gasket will be stepped on and kicked in, and the toilet will be a mess.”

"If it's broken, replace it. What's so great about it is that habits are cultivated. Just develop a habit." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Pang Shuangxi kept shaking his head beside him and said:

"Mr. Zhang, you are a bit fanciful. The United States is the United States, and this is here. What can't even be done in a public toilet in the provincial capital of Lanzhou, how can it be done here?"

"Who said that this place must be lagging behind Lanzhou, and who said that the countryside must not have better hygiene habits than the city? Who stipulated this?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"I'm not sure in ten or twenty years, but now, everyone's quality is not yet at this level." Pang Shuangxi said.

"What qualities?" Zhang Xiangbei asked, "Do you think that only those with money can have qualities, and only those who have read a lot can have qualities? But the fact is that there are many scumbag professors and scholars. What qualities do they have?"

"Well..." Pang Shuangxi said with a smile, "Okay, let's change the word to public-minded. I say that the villagers here are not very public-minded yet. They cannot compare with Americans, okay?"

"Wrong, this is not public morality, but private morality. You say, don't spit on the ground, don't urinate in public, and don't flush after urinating. Is this public morality or private morality? It's obviously because he didn't do what he should have done. What does this have to do with public ethics?”

Zhang Xiangbei said: "Americans do relatively well in this regard. It's not that they are more public-minded, but more selfish. The United States is a Protestant country, and Protestantism talks about individuals facing God directly. People must be responsible for their actions before God. After this belief becomes subtle, people will feel ashamed when they do something wrong.

"But in fact, our Chinese history also pays great attention to this. Confucius said that the first step is to cultivate one's self, to manage one's family, to govern the country, and to bring peace to the world. That means you have to be responsible for your own words and deeds, and it also starts from the individual.

"Only now, there is a problem with our entire education. There is too much talk about collectivism and too little about individualism. This allows all the dirty and dirty things to be hidden under the halo of collectivism, and collectivism has become A fig leaf.

“Collectivism is too cheap. When you shout loudly, you can flaunt yourself, but you don’t even need to lift a real finger, and you don’t need to pay at all. Why not?

"Those who shout patriotism on the Internet and want to knock down this and that, turn around and spit on the ground, then turn around and continue to speak righteously, jump in queues and squeeze into buses when they go out, and grab when they see an advantage, so It's not uncommon for people to do this. Why there are so many is because they don't understand a basic principle.

"All collectives and countries are made up of individuals. If everyone is a scumbag, how can this collective and country be good? Since you are so patriotic, can you please stop spitting on the land of the motherland? Also leave your pet's poop in public places? If you can't even do that, you might as well shut up.

“What we need most now is not collectivistic education, but individualistic education. Everyone must start from themselves and proceed from themselves.

"When it comes to quality and literacy, etc., this is related to the individual, and it can be transformed and cultivated. Do you still remember what it was like when the village representatives met for the first time, and what it is like now? As for them now Secretary Pang's meeting order and efficiency are no worse than those in the city, right?

"We can change our meeting habits, including going to the toilet and using the flush toilet. Do you think it will be harder to change than your meeting habits? No.

"Why should I insist on installing flush toilets? Changes in people's habits often require external pressure and environment to prompt them to change. Go to the airport and high-speed rail station and see why no one smokes or litters now. Yeah, those places are so high-end that the people who want to lose them are embarrassed.

"If you put the same group of people in a dilapidated station, I can guarantee that they will revert to their old ways and do what they did before.

"We just want to make the public toilets in the village cleaner and tidier than the kitchens and rooms in their homes. This will have an impact on their ideas. After their habits in the toilets improve, they will also restrain themselves when they go outside on the road. When they build a new house, they will want a toilet that is cleaner than the toilet in the village.

"When everyone gets used to this and reaches a consensus, you don't have to worry about whether it flushes or whether the toilet gasket will be stepped on. This step will be taken sooner or later. Secretary Pang said that in ten or twenty years After that, I’m sure that in ten or twenty years, all public toilets in our city will be equipped with flush toilets. Why can’t we take a few steps earlier here?”

Zhang Xiangbei kept talking, and everyone else looked at him like an open book that they couldn't understand.

Pang Shuangxi sighed and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhang, you are an idealist."

Xiang Evian said: "Still a perfectionist."

"Yes, what you said is correct." Zhang Xiangbei laughed loudly, "I also thought of an idea."

"What's the idea?" Pang Shuangxi asked.

"After the public toilets are built, if the situation you mentioned occurs, with feces and urine overflowing from the toilets, and the toilets are in a mess, Director Jiao, you will call the whole village to the toilets to take turns visiting. Secretary Pang and I will Let's go clean the toilet together and let them ruin it after we clean it.

"When they get dirty, we'll clean them, and we'll invite them to visit us again to clean the toilets, and we'll keep cleaning them until they're embarrassed to be dirty."

As Zhang Xiangbei said, Pang Shuangxi opened his eyes wide and shouted quickly: "No, no, no, I won't go."

"I'll go with you." Xiang Yiyun smiled, "This is bloody education. If this can't educate them, there is no other way."
