Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Ji Yang’s Planning (Part 1)

"Secretary Ji, feel free to share any ideas you have; after all, we are all here to listen to you," Su Yongfang said with a smile.

"Right, Secretary Ji, we came here with the intention of doing real work for the people. If you have a good solution, just say it, and we’ll fully support you," Cao Songxin added, looking around at everyone, knowing that they were all willing to listen to Ji Yang.

Everyone showed their willingness to follow Ji Yang’s leadership.

Although he was not aware of everyone’s thoughts, he was satisfied with the outcome.

Ji Yang looked at the crowd and said, "After arriving here, you must have noticed that the road leading to the city is too long and in terrible condition. It’s very difficult to get the funding to fix it any time soon."

"Secretary Ji, you’re absolutely right; repairing this road is not a small expense, and the higher-ups can’t possibly allocate so much money all at once for roadwork," Wang Hongping said earnestly.

"Yes, even if we wanted to fix that road, it would probably take years to complete. By then, who knows what the situation will be; we can’t wait for our development. Only when we have accomplishments will the higher-ups take us seriously."

"Secretary Ji, you’re absolutely right. We can only rely on ourselves," Wen Qiuhong nodded emphatically.

Ji Yang continued, "So, we need to stop waiting and relying on others; we must take action ourselves. I have an idea. Let’s all consider it, and if it’s feasible, we can submit this proposal to our superiors."

"Secretary Ji, if you really have a solution, just say it. I’ll be the first to support you," He Shuping said loudly.

Facing several looks of complex emotions, He Shuping puffed out her chest, now was the time to express her support.

Although a few other women were cursing under their breath, they too wore smiles on their faces, each expressing their support.

Ji Yang, who was well-prepared, had someone set up a projector, something he had been working on for a while.

Liu Piaoxue, who was also attending the meeting, hurried to get a map slide ready.

It had to be said that it was well done, presenting the location as clearly as possible to everyone.

"Secretary Ji, where is this?" everyone asked, somewhat bewildered as they looked towards Ji Yang, since they had not yet visited the area and were unclear about the local details.

Ji Yang said, "Comrades, this place is called the Great Wilderness, located near Qianjin Village. This village used to be a labor site for educated youth, where many of them worked. After the educated youth returned to the cities, the area was mostly abandoned and turned into a barren wilderness of rocks. However, as you can see, the terrain of this place is quite favorable."

Everyone looked attentively.

"Secretary Ji, is it impossible to grow crops here?"

"Um, this place has many rocks and, moreover, the soil quality isn’t very good. The educated youth spent a lot of effort and only managed to cultivate a small portion. What I want to discuss is not about agriculture, but about the dam area here, which is even larger than our current county town."

Looking at each other, everyone was completely unclear about the situation.

Cao Songxin, after all, was the county head and had researched some information after arriving. Now he seemed to understand a bit and said, "I’m aware of this place now; I’ve studied it too. The dam is indeed vast, but there’s a significant downside: it’s surrounded by mountains on all sides, which makes transportation inconvenient. That’s also why the villagers are reluctant to venture in, and there are hardly any people from Qianjin Village who leave the mountains."
