Duan Kefan also laughed. It seems that County Magistrate Dai is not easy to be a county magistrate. It is estimated that there are many cadres who come to him every day to ask for money, so before he could say his words, he blocked his mouth first and smiled and said, "County Magistrate, don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money for you. I heard that the province is planning to choose a group of rural tourism in various places with better and more distinctive development. As a demonstration village for beautiful rural areas, can we apply for it under the conditions of our Rongshu Village?..."

Dai Yuli was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your information is quite well-informed. You will know just after our Standing Committee discussed this matter, but you should not think about it. This time, there is only one place for each county to apply for the beautiful rural demonstration village, and it has been ordered to Donghu Village in Liuye Town. Of course, the conditions in Rongshu Village are also good, so don't be discouraged. I will help you fight for it next time if I have the chance..."

Duan Kefan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. He knew that the competition would be fierce for applying for a provincial-level beautiful rural demonstration village this time. Unexpectedly, he was still one step late. He said angrily: "This is too unfair. Since it is a document issued by the province, it should be fair competition. Why did we just hear the news below and make a reservation without even seeing the official documents?..."

Dai Yuli sighed and said, "Kefan, I understand your mood, but I can only reserve my opinion on this matter. Donghu Village is not only a demonstration point that Secretary Peng personally arrested, but also a counterpart assistance village for Secretary Luo of the Provincial Party Committee, so I can't do anything about it..."

The Provincial Party Committee Secretary Luo mentioned by Dai Yuli refers to Luo Ziqing, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Luo Ziqing is a senior cadre who grew up in Jiangnan. He has served as the secretary of the Gucheng County Party Committee and the secretary of the Jiqing Municipal Party Committee. He has a deep qualification and speaks among local cadres in Jiangnan Province. He is now the third-ranked figure in the province. Even the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zeng Qisheng and Governor Zhou Daiwen have to respect his opinions on many things. In fact, Dai Yuli had made a argument before at the county party committee standing committee meeting, hoping to help Rongshu Village fight. However, as soon as the county party secretary Peng Demin moved out of Luo Ziqing, other county party committee members almost supported the application of Gucheng County as the only indicator for the provincial beautiful rural demonstration village to Donghu Village. Dai Yuli had to give up.

Duan Kefan knew that he had no chance at all. Although he had not officially entered the officialdom yet, he also knew that a demonstration point like this that the leader personally arrested was equivalent to the face of the leader. If the demonstration point personally arrested by the leader himself could not become rich, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face? Compared with Rongshu Village and Donghu Village, it was like the difference between an illegitimate child and a legitimate child. The legitimate child was naturally in a state of prosperity, so he had to work hard on his own. Isn’t it boring to compete with the legitimate child for resources?

Duan Kefan was very depressed after leaving Dai Yuli's office. He decided to go to Donghu Village to take a look, otherwise he would always feel unwilling to lose. Donghu Village is not far from the ancient city of the county. In order to promote the development of Donghu Village, the county even opened a bus directly to Donghu Village, which was once every half an hour. So Duan Kefan got on the bus directly to Donghu Village. There were not many people on the bus. Except Duan Kefan, there were only a few villagers who came to Donghu Village to sell things. Duan Kefan suspected that this bus company would not even make money back, and in the end, the county could only pay subsidies.

The bus driver probably knew that there were not many people taking this bus. He drove the bus very fast all the way. He was too lazy to stop by many bus stops. He came to Donghu Village in less than an hour. The demonstration site he personally arrested was different. After entering Donghu Village, all the roads were transformed into asphalt pavement, and the roads were flat and wide. Not to mention Rongshu Village, even many rural areas in economically developed areas could not reach this level. Duan Kefan was very jealous.

The terminal is located in the square in front of the village department of Donghu Village. The village department of Donghu Village is built in a grand manner. From a distance, Duan Kefan thought he was a high-end club where he invested. After getting off the bus, he realized that it was the village department. The square in front of the village department was also very grand. There was a tall white marble sculpture in the middle. The entire square was covered with marble floor tiles. An artificial lake was built next to the village department, with pavilions and towers and viewing corridors built on it. It was indeed very beautiful. There were more than a dozen villas built opposite the artificial lake. The buildings were all very luxurious, not bad at all compared to the luxurious villas in the city. Duan Kefan was stunned and looked at it. How much does it cost!

What surprised Duan Kefan was that there was no one in the entire square and the viewing corridor around the artificial lake. Except for the last few signs of being inhabited, the other villas seemed to be vacant. Duan Kefan was puzzled and grabbed the villagers of Donghu who were on the same bus with him and asked: "My fellow villagers, why aren't you here come to play? The lives of the people here should be very wealthy, right?"

When the Donghu villagers heard this, they cursed: "It's so rich! The money allocated from above has made the village cadres rich. We ordinary people can't get any benefits, otherwise we still have to go to the county to sell things?"

It turned out that at the beginning, there were still tourists from the city coming to visit in Donghu Village. The villagers could also increase their income by opening farmhouses. However, the village said that their stalls in the square affect the image of the village. They were not allowed to set up shops, and they were not allowed to open farmhouses. Because the village party secretary opened a big hotel next to the artificial lake, only tourists were allowed to go to the restaurants he opened. However, the food in the restaurants opened by the village party secretary were expensive and not delicious, and the scenery here was not very distinctive. They were all artificial landscapes. They could be seen everywhere in the parks in the city, and gradually no one came to play.

The cadres in the village were all rich by swallowing up the above funds and contracting the infrastructure projects in the village. They bought the luxury cars parked in front of the village headquarters, and they also built the villas that lived in people across the artificial lake, so the villagers were so angry that they would get angry when they mentioned it.

Duan Kefan was also very shocked when he heard this. Although corruption among village cadres is not a strange thing, it is rare to be as bold as village cadres in Donghu Village. After all, the people are not as blind as before. If they do it too much, they will definitely complain. They asked in surprise: "Then why don't you complain?!"
