As the leader of the Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line Project, Jihe Port began construction in the mid-to-late 1980s, but the construction scale is very small. Now only a few bulk cargo terminals below 2,000 tons have been built, with an annual throughput of only 300,000 tonnes, and the right belongs to the local port bureau.

The Jinhe Line Railway has completed its preliminary survey and design, but the billions of dollars required for construction have not yet been settled. Jihe Port is mainly responsible for supporting services for several unsized county development zones around it, but there are also a small number of heavy-load coal trucks coming from southern Shanxi to unload and loading ships here.

"The appearance is no different from Xinpu Port..."

Chen Huai was invited to visit Jihe Port the next day. Seeing that Jihe Port was far from being climatic, Chu Qiang couldn't help but whisper and compared Jihe Port with Xinpu Port in Donghuaxiapu County.

Chen Huai smiled slightly, and when he saw Ji Chengxi looking over, he did not respond to Chu Qiang's comments.

As a river port, Meixi Port has a phase II project built by Zhengxinggong directly reaches the goal of annual throughput of 6 million tons; Jihe Port and the considerable scale of Xinpu Port, as a regional seaport, are only of this size, which can naturally be said to be quite bleak.

"You have a high economic level in Meixi. I really want to ask you to give more suggestions on the economic development of Jihe County?" Ji Chengxi walked over and said with a smile.

Chen Huai said: "If you want to talk about how the local economy of Jihe County develops, I believe you will not lack advice. Moreover, the local knowledgeable people in Jihe County are the most familiar with the local situation and are the most qualified to provide advice on the local economy. I don't know the situation in Jihe County. Now I'm talking about everything on paper. If I say too much, I will show my misfortune."

Seeing that Chen Huai had been in Jihe for the past two days, Ji Chengxi didn't care: if he didn't understand the situation and pointed at him as soon as he came up, he would not have the qualification to be appreciated at all.

Chen Huai paused for a while and said, "The project of Jinhe Coal East-out of the South Line will be long even if it is launched. The entire project is beneficial to the overall energy layout of the country, but if it is just to use Jihe Port as a sewer port for Jinhe Coal East-out of the South Line, the overall promotion of local economy is limited. I think Jihe County's economic plan is also intended to strengthen the port industry. First, lay the preliminary preparations for the Jinhe Coal East-out of the South Line project, and second, we can also rely on Jinhe Coal East-out of the South Line in the later stage. Projects can drive the development of local industries more effectively. They promote each other. I agree with the development idea of ​​Jihe County. However, I don’t understand the situation in Jihe County enough, so I can’t say anything casually. At your invitation, I ate and drank in Jihe for two days, but I was sad. I will take some resources from Jihe County to study it first, and I will help you promote it if I have the opportunity. Huaineng and other institutions may be interested in investing in Jihe..."

Ji Chengxi said: "That couldn't be better."

Ji Chengxi did not expect that just two or three days of contact would make Chen Huai determined to cooperate with them, bring Meigang and Huaineng in, and jointly promote the implementation of the Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line Project.

*********************

Chen Huai stayed in Jihe River for a few days, made a special trip to Jiangning, and then returned to Yushan. It was already early March.

In the past, the leisurely rhythm of Yushan was also due to poverty and there was not much work to promote. The slow rhythm brought by the Spring Festival was almost maintained until the end of the first lunar month.

This year's Yushan is different from the past.

Song Yunhua represented the Yushan County Government. Just after the Spring Festival, he soon negotiated a package agreement with Huaineng Group for the development of Yushan Lake Hydropower Station and Yushan Hydropower Resources. Huaineng Group invested 60 million yuan to acquire all the assets of Yushan Lake Hydropower Station and the franchise rights of Yushan Hydropower Resources.

Next, including the adjustment of the government's work, the transfer of Yushan Lake Hydropower Station, the adjustment and rectification of the water conservancy and transportation system, it immediately started to promote it.

When Chen Huai returned to Yushan again, Yushan Hydropower Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaineng Group, had officially launched a work in Dongyu Town, the county town.

Luo Qing served as the deputy prime minister of the hydropower company and the manager of the Yushan Lake Hydropower Branch, and took over the management of the former Yushan Lake Hydropower Station.

At the same time, Hu Zhijun was also transferred to the position of the county water conservancy bureau director and the position of director of the Yushan Lake Reservoir Management Station.

The 60 million yuan obtained from Huaihei is the largest amount of funds ever obtained in Yushan County, and is almost twice the annual expenditure of Yushan County.

In the agreement, Huaineng also made clear requirements on how Yushan County allocated the use of this funds.

The first is to set aside some funds to renovate the embankment around the Yushan Lake Reservoir; the second is to renovate the Yupu Highway and extend the Yuhu Highway to the west, pass through Changlin Township, connecting the Yushan Lake Reservoir with the outside world.

These two projects can be said to be the supporting projects for Huaineng to develop Yushan hydropower resources. Therefore, Huaineng directly puts such a request in the agreement, and there is no question of interfering in the party and government work of Yushan County.

Before the end of February, Huaineng Group transferred the first total amount of 18 million to the county finance account and urged the county to do preparations at the same time.

The county also established a preparation team for the Yushan Lake embankment renovation project and the Yupu Highway New Construction Project. The former was the new director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Hu Zhijun, as the project commander, and Liang Zhenbao was directly wearing armor to take office, and the specific responsibility was the deputy county magistrate Song Yunhua.

The entire work is being promoted rapidly, although it is inseparable from the city's attention and the direct support of the county party secretary Liang Zhenbao, the most direct weapon to resolve local resistance is the injection of 60 million yuan.

Although the 60 million yuan of funds clearly requires investment in the two projects of the Yushan Lake renovation project and the new construction of the Yupu Highway, these two projects are still organized and implemented by the county.

Regardless of the benefits these projects can bring to Yushan County in the future, a considerable number of stakeholders will be directly tied together during the organization and implementation process.

When Chen Huai returned to Yushan County, he also continued to promote joint rectification work.

With the support of Liang Zhenbao, the county government set up a joint rectification office to normalize the rectification work. Chen Huai asked Feng Yumei to serve as the director of the rectification office and the tourism office so that the two tasks of rectification and tourism resource development can be unified at the same time.

The county party committee and county government used to be leisurely and slow, and many cadres were not adapted to the current intensive work, but Liang Zhenbao enjoyed it quite well.

The tacit understanding formed with Chen Huai made Liang Zhenbao able to bypass Gao Yang, either directly or indirectly master the promotion of these key projects through Deputy County Mayor Song Yunhua, allowing him to enjoy the pleasure brought by the interweaving of power and career.

In the past, the county's finances were poor and embarrassed. Although there were constant troubles, these things were more like crying and causing trouble. Many of them were dared to roll around the ground, throwing feces and scolding, and they were trolling and making troublemakers.

In the past, even if he had to be more leisurely, he had to deal with some trivial and troublesome things every day, which made Liang Zhenbao very upset, and he was always on guard against Gao Yang's stumbling on him.

Now, even if Liang Zhenbao has to spend a lot of time and energy to coordinate and promote the progress of the project every day, power must be perfectly reflected in continuous business decisions.

Moreover, these projects involve huge benefits. If those who make tricks want to make profits from it, they will naturally please Liang Zhenbao in every way and walk in a intensive manner, which makes him feel a superior power than Gao Yang.

At the same time, the reputation brought to Liang Zhenbao by promoting these projects is completely different from the empty flattery and prosperous inheritance in the past. It also makes Liang Zhenbao truly feel that his power in Yushan is stable, and he no longer has to worry about being threatened by Gao Yang as before.

Even if you choose to cooperate with Huaineng and Shenhuai, it will ruin the possibility of further promotion, but Liang Zhenbao, who is not expecting promotion, is completely distracted.

Liang Zhenbao was very unhappy if he was threatened by Chen Huai and was forced to cooperate, but after this Spring Festival, these unhappiness quickly faded and became distant.

More importantly, Chen Huai left Yushan for vacation and left for more than half a month, and did not directly interfere with the promotion of these projects. He did not do anything to damage the authority of his county party secretary. Liang Zhenbao thought that people outside said that Chen Huai was difficult to get along with may not be true.

After Chen Huai came back, Liang Zhenbao was happy to see that he could give more ideas for Yushan development.

In Liang Zhenbao's view, as long as Chen Huai does not seize power, the affairs of Zhisheng can be asked to bypass Gao Yang and gain more administrative power.

*********************

After Chen Huai just returned to Yushan, he spent three days to deal with all the work accumulated during his departure. It was not until the afternoon of the third day that he had free time to talk to Feng Yumei about the work arrangements of the tourism office, Liang Zhenbao knocked on the door and walked in.

"Secretary Liang has something to ask me to go there, just call me to go there." Chen Huai asked Liang Zhenbao to sit down on the sofa by the window.

Feng Yumei didn't know what Liang Zhenbao was going to talk to Chen Huai about, so she brewed the tea and took it out.

Although Feng Yumei's husband Luo Qing transferred out of the Yushan Party and Government system, he became the core figure in Huaineng Group's development of Yushan hydropower resources. Although he was not clear about Chen Huai's specific plans, Feng Yumei, who seemed to have no foundation in the county in the past, had to be taken seriously.

"I just talked to County Mayor Chen about labor exports. Xiao Feng, please listen to me and County Mayor Chen to give me some advice." Liang Zhenbao asked Feng Yumei to stay and also participated in his conversation with Chen Huai.

Chen Huai sat down with a teacup and talked to Liang Zhenbao about labor export.

Yushan has no mineral resources, and special breeding also requires active cultivation and guidance from the townships. The key is to have good transportation conditions to export Yushan’s products.

There is not much land that can be used to develop industrial scale. Although there are good tourism resources, due to the insufficient infrastructure construction of Yushan itself and the lag in the peripheral economic development, there is no possibility of the rapid rise of the tourism industry in recent years.

To urgently solve the poverty problem in Yushan County, we must quickly reduce the actual poverty rate of up to 40% or 50%. The most direct and effective way is to export labor.

There are not many industrial and commercial enterprises in Yushan County, and the urbanization rate is much lower than that in the surrounding districts and counties. Among the 600,000 people, nearly 500,000 are pure agricultural households. In the scale of forestry, farming, pastoral and other industries in Yushan, there are almost 300,000 or 400,000 surplus labor in rural areas, and they need to go out of Yushan to find employment.

In recent years of reform and opening up, there have been many people working in Yushan, but the lack of strong organizations in counties and townships and the relatively closed thinking of people in the mountains has made the scale and quality of labor exports not ideal.

Chenhuai hopes that the county can promote the following townships and jointly strengthen the training and organization of labor exports.

There are almost 80,000 to 90,000 poor families living below the extreme poverty line. For every extra 10,000 labor force is exported, the poverty problem of nearly 10,000 families can be solved - this is probably a people's livelihood project that Yushan County can directly promote and demonstrate its political achievements in the near future.

"I think the county can send people to contact some enterprises to understand the most direct needs of the enterprises so that we can be more targeted in labor training and output work; the county can also support several special labor companies to do some pilot work," Chen Huai told Liang Zhenbao directly about his ideas, "I don't know who Secretary Liang, who you plan to take charge of this work. I will be in the city in two days and I can accompany him to Meigang and Hushi Garment companies with a lot of labor..."
