When Sha Zhengyang arrived in Baoling County, it was already past seven o'clock in the afternoon.

I don’t even feel it in Han, but when I arrived at Wuling and Baoling, I felt the deep bleak autumn feeling here.

There was no suitable off-road vehicle in the Commission, and Sha Zhengyang was too lazy to compete with other leaders of the Commission, so he directly borrowed a Toyota Land Cruiser from Dongfanghong Group. Of course, the driver also joined the roads on the Dashan Canyon Road in Wuling. Although the road conditions were all national highways and provincial highways, he was still unsure and was better to be more stable.

This is the junction of Wuling Mountain and Qinba Mountains. The terrain is magnificent and the ravines are crisscrossing. The originally lush forests show a unique style because of their thick autumn clothes. Sometimes they are golden and sometimes they are fiery red, just like a huge black and dark green canvas with many gorgeous watercolors.

It took 9 hours to drive from Handu to Wuling City, where the Wuling Regional Administration is located. In terms of distance, it was only more than 300 kilometers, but two-thirds of it were mountain roads. It was undulating and steep slopes, narrow and curved roads. The surrounding roads were either steep and steep, or unfathomable canyons. Even though Ning Yuechan sent an old driver to Sha Zhengyang who specialized in running mountain roads, it still took 9 hours to get to Wuling City.

Wuling area has one city and six counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of nearly four million. It is not much in Hanchuan, a large province. However, for Wuling area, this is a huge pressure. A city and six counties, except for Wuling City, is barely considered a poor county, the other six counties are all national or provincial poverty-stricken counties.

To be honest, although there are several poor counties in Wanzhou, the poverty level is far less than that in Wuling, and the conditions in all aspects are much better than those in Wuling. The degree of infrastructure backwardness caused by geographical conditions alone is not comparable to that in Wanzhou. If the mountainous areas of Wanzhou are compared with Wuling, it is simply a terrible thing.

There are still 47 kilometers from Wuling City to Baoling County, but it takes nearly two hours to run this 47 kilometers.

Baoling County is built on a U-shaped slope at the foot of the mountain. The county is not large in size. As the car drove, Sha Zhengyang estimated that only a few larger streets were just a few of them. They used cement pavement, and more were rugged and narrow alleys, paved with stone slabs and gravel.

There is a reason why the county town is located here. From here, it sinks along the stairs. At the bottom is Baoxi River. Provincial Highway 225 passes through the lowest point and further to the southwest, you can reach the Puchi boundary.

Baoling and Baoxi River are the skeleton of the entire Baoling County. Along the mountains of Baoling Mountains, this should be regarded as the junction of Wuling Mountain and Qinba Mountains. The faulty mountains formed by karst terrain and crystalline limestone intersect, and the valley basin between them has become an important grain crop production area.

Lu Xun roared and rushed up a large slope, and could see that the lights next to the signboard of Baoling Hotel were already on.

This is the best hotel in Baoling County with reorganized from the county government guesthouse and only tens of thousands of residents. Seeing this, Sha Zhengyang feels like this is the miniature version of Yintai County more than ten years ago, and it is even smaller.

All of them were already struggling by the more than ten hours of driving. The eighteen transfers on the winding mountain road made people dizzy. Even Sha Zhengyang was a fierce man who had been rushing to Wanzhou for a long time, and he was still a little overwhelmed, not to mention that Liang Jinbai and Shi Wen from another political research office came.

Liang Jinbai strongly supported his tired body to make the room and booked three rooms. Liang Jinbai and Shi Wen came to one, Sha Zhengyang and the driver Lao Sun. That was solved by Dongfanghong Group itself.

After lying on the bed for half an hour, Sha Zhengyang got up and wiped his face briefly, and walked out the door.

He had not contacted Wuling and Baoling County yet. He had just said he wanted to come before, but he did not tell the other party the specific time.

He wanted to first learn about it on the spot and see what aspects can Baoling County consider industrial development in the future. He can't wait until Provincial President Wang has arrived, and no one can come up with a decent countermeasure.

I had dinner at a small restaurant next to Baoling Hotel. The taste was OK. The fried bacon from wild vegetables from the mountains was the feature of here. Bracken, fir mushrooms, wild vegetarian roots, etc. were quite rich. There was also wild vegetable soup. It was also very refreshing to drink it in a bowl.

The price is not expensive. In the words of the boss, this is also next to Baoling Hotel, with more customers coming and going. If you change to other streets and alleys, the price may be cheaper.

Such a honest boss surprised Sha Zhengyang and his party. The simple customs of the people often refer to people in the mountains and fields, who are actually cunning and like to compete for profit.

Perhaps it is because of his honest personality and the price is not much more expensive than the surrounding chicken feather shops, which can win the recognition of customers, so his business is quite popular.

Because she was too tired, Sha Zhengyang and his party went back to their rooms to sleep after dinner.

In fact, before coming to Baoling, Sha Zhengyang was considering how to pass the issue.

Kang Guangliang has said this to this point. This is a political task. The main leaders of the province are stationed in counties and have set up hard indicators. Although it may not be counted on the Implementation Planning Commission, as the department that bears the brunt of the Implementation Planning Commission, you must give advice and it is best to come up with real projects.

But this is not as simple as just taking out a project. The Planning Commission will find a way to work with Wuling and Baoling County to build a project at will and get a few million investments.

The key is that you have to make the project profitable and operate normally. You cannot invest this year and start losing money next year. You will lose money in less than two years.

The leaders are not stupid and will not be confused about this. If they do this, they will be afraid that they will shoot themselves in the foot.

To put it bluntly, you have to come up with a project suitable for Baoling's development, which can fully utilize Baoling's unique advantages and existing resources. Only such projects can truly be truly vital. In contrast, funds are second. If there is such a project, it is not difficult to attract capital to enter the market.

Baoling County has a large population, with a population of more than 500,000, but the area is large, with more than 6,000 square kilometers, of which 80% are mountainous areas. Only a few river valleys and dams can be regarded as flat land and important agricultural land. The market towns are basically concentrated in these areas.

In Sha Zhengyang's view, the biggest problem restricting Baoling's development is the transportation problem. It takes ten hours of transportation to get out of this mountain, which is a problem that any investor has to consider. First, the transportation cost, the level of information, and the third, the choice of industry, which are all problems.

What can Baoling take out to attract foreign investment? Investing in your place requires returns. Don’t talk about land, taxes or cheap labor. Any county in Wanzhou, Anxiang, and Bayuan can take out any county, and even dare to be better than the conditions you give them. How can you compare?

It is normal to compare stores. These foreign investors have traveled all over the place and compared them everywhere before they finally make a move. Judging from the current situation Sha Zhengyang has mastered, Baoling does not have the conditions to attract foreign investment. Even labor-intensive industries will not choose this mountainous county with extremely inconvenient transportation and other conditions. This is the gap and it is also a sadness.

Perhaps it is only after more than ten years that labor-intensive industries in the eastern region will gradually become saturated and need to be upgraded. At the same time, labor wage levels will begin to rise and make these labor-intensive industries feel wage pressure, which may gradually move to inland mountainous counties. However, even coastal areas are still trying to attract foreign investment, so this aspect is not realistic.

This is really a difficult problem.

Sha Zhengyang lay on the bed thinking that if Baoling wants to develop, he probably has to work hard on his own characteristics. He will only know until he meets the county leaders tomorrow.

It was already past eight o'clock when Lu Zhijian received the page.

He looked at it and it was a pager from Qindu. It was a mobile phone. He was a little surprised and didn't want to reply, but after thinking about it, he went to the office and went back to one by the office phone.

Baoling County is very poor, and it is not as poor as the county government office only has this phone number to make long distances, while other phone numbers can only make local calls in Wuling area.

He only officially came down to work and train after National Day, and was appointed as the deputy director of the Baoling County Government Office.

He was lucky enough to catch up with this group of local government agencies and went on a job. After he came back, he could basically get a job with a deputy department, but it didn't matter. So he was assigned to Baoling County, the poorest and furthest, and arranged to be the deputy director of the county government office.

"Why did you take the phone call for so long?" As soon as it was called, the voice from the opposite side called.

The voice was very familiar. Lu Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was Wang Yaguang.

Although they are not in the same department as the other party, because everyone likes to play football and belongs to the school football team, they cannot play the main force due to their physical fitness, so they are considered to be sympathetic and often chat together. After a while, the two of them became very familiar with each other.

However, Wang Yaguang's family conditions are much better than him. It is said that one of Wang Yaguang's uncles is also a coal mine owner and earned a lot of money. He is a poor teacher family and cannot compare with him. Therefore, although Lu Zhijian is half a year older than the other party in terms of human nature, in fact, in terms of human nature and maturity, Lu Zhijian still has to follow Wang Ya Optical.

"Ah, why did you change your mobile phone number?" Lu Zhijian was very familiar with Wang Yaguang's mobile phone number. This number was not Wang Yaguang's original.

"It turned out that mobile phone was replaced by my uncle. Now the unit has one, so I returned my uncle's phone to my uncle." Wang Yaguang explained briefly on the phone and immediately said: "Are you still in your administrative department's political research office?"

"No, I wanted to tell you, but I just got off. I was busy and dizzy. I have been down for more than half a month and I haven't had time to tell you that I'll go down to the county to work." Lu Zhijian was still a little proud and excited. Wang Yaguang had already been the deputy director of the county party committee office. He was not a regular job, but a serious promotion. He was a deputy director of the Baoling County Government Office. He had to wait until the two-year post was over before he could go back to work as a real deputy department.

"You went down to work, which county did you go to?" Wang Yaguang was quite surprised on the phone and asked immediately.

"Baoling is the farthest and poorest county." Lu Zhijian was a little depressed when he said this.
