Chapter 2883

Su Xinghui said, "Mayor Xin, don't take the responsibility upon yourself. The key to the problem now is not to distinguish responsibility, but how to correct the mistake."

Miao Leshan's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He wanted to say something, but Su Xinghui's words were all upright and honorable, and he had no good reason to oppose them anymore. In the end, those reasons of his were not fit for the public stage.

Wei Ziming said, "Comrade Xinghui, do you really have the confidence to get funds from the province?"

Su Xinghui said, "I dare not say I have confidence, but I will do my best. Of course, it is impossible to have these funds every year. In the end, we still have to rely on opening up sources and reducing expenditure to squeeze out these funds."

Wei Ziming said, "The situation reported by those minban teachers also needs further verification."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I have already instructed the comrades in the Education Bureau to verify the situation. We must verify the situation accurately."

Wei Ziming said, "Alright then, let's wait until there is a conclusion from the verified situation. If there really is any problem, what should be corrected must be corrected. Do any other comrades have any different opinions?"

Since Wei Ziming had already said this, what other different opinions could others have?

Thus, under Su Xinghui's insistence, this matter was decided this way. Although Miao Leshan was very unhappy, he had no other way; he did not yet have the courage to clash with Su Xinghui to the end.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Shao Dejin arrived in Baozhou City. His visit this time was, of course, to investigate the feasibility of establishing a slaughtering base in Yinshan County.

As soon as Shao Dejin arrived, Su Xinghui accompanied him to Yinshan County. Xing Guodong was, of course, overjoyed. He had certainly heard the name of the Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group; he knew it was a meat processing enterprise that ranked among the top in the country and even in all of Asia. If they could invest in building a factory in Yinshan County, that would be a great thing.

The first sentence Xing Guodong said when he saw Shao Dejin was, "Chairman Shao, hello! My son likes eating the ham sausages from your Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group the most."

Shao Dejin laughed and said, "I didn't expect to meet a loyal user of our company here. If I had known, I should have brought a box of ham sausages to give to this loyal user."

This joke instantly narrowed the distance between everyone.

Xing Guodong smiled, "If you can build a slaughtering base in our Yinshan County, it will be even more convenient for him to eat ham sausages in the future."

Shao Dejin laughed loudly, "County Magistrate Xing, you are beating around the bush to get me to build a slaughtering base here. It seems I have no choice but to build a factory here, otherwise I would be letting down a loyal user!"

Everyone laughed, and Su Xinghui smiled, "Then Chairman Shao, just build a slaughtering base here."

Shao Dejin said, "I still have to carefully investigate the various conditions here, but I can confirm that as long as the conditions in Yinshan County are good, then in principle, I am willing to build a slaughtering base here."

Xing Guodong was quite confident about the conditions in Yinshan County, so he said confidently, "Alright, Chairman Shao, then I will accompany you to look around Yinshan County."

Xing Guodong accompanied Shao Dejin to investigate the investment environment in Yinshan County, while Su Xinghui, after accompanying Shao Dejin to Yinshan County, excused himself and returned to Baozhou.

Shao Dejin also knew that Su Xinghui was a vice mayor and his daily work was very busy. He certainly wouldn't insist on Su Xinghui accompanying him in Yinshan County. He told Su Xinghui to go ahead and get busy and that he didn't need to accompany him here. He also told Su Xinghui that as long as the conditions in Yinshan County were good, he would do his best to facilitate this matter.

The Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group was currently expanding rapidly and needed to build multiple slaughtering bases, so what Shao Dejin said was the truth. Yinshan County and even Baozhou City had vast pastures, so as long as other conditions were suitable, Shao Dejin could indeed do his best to facilitate the construction of a slaughtering base here.

After returning to Baozhou, Su Xinghui summoned Shen Mingsheng, the director of the Baozhou City Sports Commission, and asked him to formulate a plan as soon as possible to build a sports and fitness service system for the general public in Baozhou City.

A few years ago, the country passed the "Sports Law" and proposed the concept of national fitness. This was a measure to improve the physical fitness of the people, and the specific measure was to build a sports and fitness service system for the general public nationwide.

Specifically, this meant installing fitness equipment in residential areas, opening them to the public for free, increasing the number of sports fields and ball courts, and advocating for the public to participate in sports and fitness.

This policy was, of course, a good one, but because the level of economic development varied, the implementation of this measure was somewhat uneven. In places like Baozhou City, because the level of economic development was not high, the implementation of this policy was not satisfactory.

Setting up public welfare fitness equipment and venues in various communities and increasing the number of sports fields and ball courts were all projects that required large amounts of funds, and they only had expenditure without income. These things were of a public welfare nature and could not possibly generate any income.

Therefore, the progress of this work in Baozhou City was still very slow. Currently, there were not many communities that could install fitness equipment, and the number of sports fields and ball courts in Baozhou City was even fewer; generally, only schools had ball courts.

Su Xinghui intended to gradually promote this work throughout Baozhou City starting this year, striving to ensure that every community in Baozhou City could have public welfare mass fitness equipment and every county and district could have enough ball courts within three years.

Su Xinghui had actually asked Shen Mingsheng to start thinking about this work before the Spring Festival, so Shen Mingsheng had already formulated this plan almost completely. He said that in two more days, he could hand it over to Su Xinghui.

After arranging this work, Su Xinghui summoned Wang Weisheng, the director of the Culture Bureau, and asked him to submit the plan for establishing village-level reading rooms in the villages below as soon as possible.

During his research last year, Su Xinghui discovered that the cultural life in the rural areas below was extremely barren. After finishing their daily work, there were no entertainment projects, especially in those mountain villages. Due to imperfect power facilities, there was only electricity for lighting, and there were not even many televisions because they couldn't support many televisions, not to mention that many families couldn't afford to buy televisions.

Therefore, the most prevalent form of entertainment in the countryside was playing cards; mahjong, poker, character cards, and even gambling were rampant. This also led to a rampant gambling culture in the countryside. Some villagers had no money to live on but had money to play cards, and some even abandoned their fields because of playing cards.

To change this situation, the first step, of course, was to start with public security, but the most fundamental thing was to solve the current situation where cultural and entertainment life in mountain villages was too barren.
