Ji Tao also talked about the situation of other county leaders in Changshan County. After listening, Su Xinghui had a rough understanding of the situation in Changshan County.

After listening to the situation introduced by Ji Tao, Su Xinghui thanked Ji Tao, stood up, and said, "Fine, Minister Ji, thank you! Then I should go; Minister Zheng is still waiting for me."

Ji Tao nodded, "Fine, go ahead, be careful on the way!"

Su Xinghui returned to Zheng Guodong's office. Zheng Guodong said, "Your procedures have been handled. Now I will send someone to take you to Changshan County."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay."

Zheng Guodong arranged for Zhao Tong, the Section Chief of the First Section of Cadres of the Municipal Organization Department, to take Su Xinghui to Changshan. Zhao Tong requested a jeep, brought Su Xinghui's documents, and they set off.

Zhao Tong was a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses. He looked gentle and refined, a typical image of an organization cadre. After getting in the car, he smiled, "Comrade Su Xinghui, don't mind the jeep being slow; it's just that the road to Changshan County isn't very easy to travel, and the jeep's chassis is higher, which is more suitable."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Section Chief Zhao is too polite, the jeep is quite good."

Zhao Tong said, "You are going from Shangjun County to Changshan County; it's certain you won't be used to it at first. You must be mentally prepared; the conditions in Changshan County are poor."

Su Xinghui smiled, "It's fine, I'm mentally prepared."

After the car drove out of Yulin City, the road wasn't too bad, and the jeep drove very steadily. However, after driving thirty or forty kilometers and entering the territory of Changshan County, the jeep began to bump.

Su Xinghui looked out the window. This was a county road with two lanes in opposite directions, just enough for two trucks to pass each other. The road surface had been worn into potholes, and there was quite a bit of gravel scattered on the road. With a road like this, how could it not be bumpy?

The driver was driving with full concentration, not daring to be distracted at all. This was a mountain road, and right next to it were cliffs and precipices. If he weren't careful and the car went into the ditch, it would be all over. With such a deep ditch, if the car fell in, the people in the car would likely not survive.

By comparison, when Su Xinghui came to Changshan County in his previous life, that road was much better than this one, at least much smoother and wider. However, that was ten years later; Changshan County didn't have the financial resources to repair the road now.

Cars would pass by from time to time in front, most of them being those trucks hauling gravel. Fortunately, they weren't those large trucks that could haul seventy or eighty tons of gravel later, with a total weight of over a hundred tons including the vehicle and cargo. Otherwise, those trucks would likely crush the roadbed itself.

These trucks, including the vehicle and cargo, were probably only ten or twenty tons, so the roadbed could barely handle it, but it was inevitable that the road surface would be pressed into potholes.

Su Xinghui said, "Section Chief Zhao, with so many trucks entering and leaving Changshan County, it's no wonder the road surface has been pressed into this state."

Zhao Tong sighed, "Yes, Changshan County doesn't have much of anything else, but it has a lot of stone. Many people rely on the county's quarries for a living, so wouldn't there be more and more trucks?"
