Li Zhengyuan, a cadre in the Survey and Design Department of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Shandong Province, was selected by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to serve as the secretary of the party branch in Litun Village, Dabu Town, Juancheng County in February 2018. In the past two years, he has led a group of people from the "two committees" of the village to base themselves on local realities and take the lead in developing the collective economy on the road of getting rid of poverty and getting rich; with a solid work style and a good image of thinking for the people and caring for the masses, he has won a very good reputation among the masses and made his own contributions to the economic and social development of the whole village. The masses said: "We are convinced of such party branch secretaries."
"Start by improving the infrastructure and do a few things for everyone to see."
Recently, in an ordinary house in Litun Village, the author met Li Zheng, who is a post-80s Sven
Boy, when he spoke, he had a smile on his face. But from the conversation with him, I deeply felt his hard work for the village and the changes he brought to the development of the village.
After Li Zheng arrived at the village, he found that the "two committees" of Litun Village were weak and scattered, and the collective economy was empty. While strengthening the construction of the team, he thought, "Start with improving the infrastructure, do a few things, and let everyone see." Litun Village originally had poor water conservancy conditions, and "difficulty in watering" became a "heart disease" of the masses, and after many ditches were silted up, the masses planted crops, and then excavated some people had opinions. Moreover, it is necessary to cross 5 administrative villages and 7 natural villages such as Wangzhuang, Yanghekou and Zhuzhuang, which requires simultaneous construction of overall planning, and the situation is very complicated. Therefore, after shouting for more than 30 years and shelving for more than 30 years, it is impossible to push. Li Zheng first went to the fields to understand the situation and mobilized party members, cadres, and then the masses. In the first year, he organized people to pump water from the big canal to the village, although the investment of manpower and time, but the masses suddenly saw the output and enjoyed the benefits. The next year, with the foundation of the first year, according to the normal compensation standard, one village after another did work, one family did work, and with the help of town cadres, the ditch leading to the village was finally opened. "Now the water conservancy conditions have greatly improved. Last year, I had 1200 catties of wheat and 1100 catties of corn, which were all the achievements of Secretary Li. Liu Zhenqi, a member of the crowd, said with a smile.
In this way, in two years, the village has opened and renovated nearly 10 kilometers of new canals and built 28 bridges. After that, he led the cadres and masses to build and rebuild 3.6 kilometers of roads, build 680 meters of production roads, supporting the reconstruction of 4.8 kilometers of road shoulders, and 2.3 kilometers of green roads. The old brigade headquarters was demolished, and the Party and Mass Activity Center was newly built and officially opened. The first activity place was built for the masses, supporting water supply and drainage, greening, lighting, and the first public toilet was built at the same time. Last year, combined with the new rural communities in the village, the provincial ecological demonstration project was successfully declared, and the provincial finance gave 5.5 million yuan in financial subsidies. In less than two years, the cumulative coordination of all parties has exceeded 10 million yuan, and the foundation of the village has hardened.
"There are Taobao shops in the village, and agricultural products are on the sales express"
Entering Li Zheng's room, the room was full of agricultural products and boxes, black fungus, chrysanthemum tea, native eggs, etc., and the small room looked like a small warehouse of a merchant.
After Li Zheng arrived in the village, he has been thinking about how to invigorate the economy, especially the "new six industries" in the rural areas. "Fuzhi" is to develop a new sales model and take the road of e-commerce development. "Helping aspirations" means daring to start one's own business and give play to the advantages of the rural areas themselves. There are no Taobao stores opened by themselves, and the "Litun Agricultural Products" store has opened. The store has it, where does the product come from? Selling products in the village, doing ecological agricultural products, and doing green agricultural products that society needs, this is the work idea and direction determined by Li Zheng. That's what he thinks and that's what he does. Insist on no pesticides, no additives, starting from black fungus. As a result, the product came out, but the sales volume did not rise. Li Zheng took the lead in running the business himself, and successively contacted several companies such as PetroChina Shandong Branch and Shandong Jianda Design Institute, and won several large orders, sales slowly rose, and the popularity of the store gradually increased. The cumulative sales of black fungus products exceeded 500,000 yuan, which gave Li Zheng a reassuring pill. After that, Li Zheng successively developed four kinds of products such as ecological forest chicken, native eggs, ecological chrysanthemum tea, and white fungus, and organized mass processing and packaging in the village. Li Zheng pointed to these products and said: "There are Taobao shops in the village, and agricultural products are on the sales express." In 2018, the village poverty alleviation project earned 114,700 yuan, and the dividend income for each poor household was 1,349 yuan, and 66 poor households achieved poverty alleviation in an all-round way. In 2019, the cumulative sales of ecological agricultural products were 1 million yuan. Coupled with the income from the 1.6 million poverty alleviation project that invested in three-dimensional breeding ducks, it is expected that the annual collective income of the village will be more than 300,000 yuan.
"Everyone's life is good, and my heart is solid"
The collective income of the village has been high, but there are still many people whose income has not increased. Li Zheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. In this hurry, I took a detour. Everything is difficult at the beginning, there is no workshop Li Zheng will organize the construction of the workshop, no project to run the project. After many investigations, in May last year, it was difficult to attract a rattan processing project, and as a result, it was closed for more than 2 months. Originally, the rattan weaving processing project was good and the income was high, but the work was more difficult and there were requirements for age. There are few young female comrades in the village, and the older ones can't do it, and the result is "closing the door" as a result.
Li Zheng was not discouraged and inspected four or five projects in one go. In August last year, wig processing was determined because the work was simple, suitable for all ages, and flexible working hours and locations, so that work could be taken home to do. Feng Ping, 59, said: "I can't go out at home, I am worried about having no work to do, Secretary Li arranged a job at the door of his home, earning thirty or fifty yuan a day, which can also help the family share the burden." "Now rural women like Feng Ping, there are fifty or sixty people working in the workshop every day, the oldest is 81 years old, the workshop is lively, and the general farmers have also increased their income channels." For poor households who do not work in the poverty alleviation workshop, Li Zheng always thinks of ways to find a "doorway" to earn money. Jiao Shitao is a poor family in the village, physically ill and with a decline in labor ability, but he can mow grass and engage in farming. When Li was inspecting the village project, he saw that there were grasshoppers in the next township, the benefits were good, the technology and sales were simple, so he found Jiao Shitao and suggested that he try it. Later, Jiao Shitao found a mass partnership to develop grasshopper farming together, but he did not expect that the project was very effective last year. Jiao Shitao said: "Thanks to Secretary Li, if he hadn't given more than 2,000 yuan of grasshopper seedlings at the beginning, there wouldn't be a few grasshopper sheds now." Li Zheng smiled and said, "Everyone's life is good, and my heart is solid."
"Whenever I think about this, I feel ashamed of my family. But I think the value of the stem"
In the course of interviewing Li Zheng, when talking about his family, he choked up several times, covered his face with his hands, and remained silent for a long time. He said: "I'm sorry, I am a person with fragile feelings, and whenever I think of my family, I feel ashamed of my family. But I think the value of the STEM. "Li Zheng's hometown is in Hubei, and a few years ago, he went to Jinan with his wife to work. After Li Zheng went to Litun Village as the secretary of the party branch, he threw himself into his work wholeheartedly. Li Zheng introduced: "When I first arrived in the village, there were too many things to do, and in the face of the expectations of the masses, if I didn't want to do a good job, I wouldn't be at home. Li Zheng clearly remembers that in the summer of 2018, his parents who wanted to be happy came to Litun Village from Hubei to visit him, and his parents, who lived in the city, lived in Litun Village for a week, and his mother's eyes were red with pain. Li Zheng has a five-year-old child, all carried by his wife. Usually it is better, when the child has a headache and fever, sometimes the wife is overwhelmed. One day last year, when my child had a high fever at night, my wife called and asked if he could go back. At that time, there was a project in the village that was under construction. Li Zheng thought to himself that if he went back to the project and postponed it, he would let his wife go to the hospital to treat the child by herself. He knew in his heart that his wife was alone with the children in the family, and he had suffered a lot of sins and suffered a lot. On weekdays, Li Zheng rarely returned to Jinan, and when he first arrived in the village, the town leaders took into account his actual situation and arranged for him to live in the town government. Two months later, Li Zheng moved his family to Litun Village and lived with the masses. He said: "It is convenient to work in this way, and there is no sense of distance from the masses. "Yes, Li Zheng deals with the masses every day, establishes deep feelings with the masses, and looks for him in big things and small things." Li Zheng said: "This is trust in me. "Now I go back to Jinan once in a while, and I am always worried about the affairs in the village, thinking about whether the masses have something to find me." Li Zheng said with a smile.
