Chapter 438: Forging Ahead, Exploration and Breakthrough of Cuigu Village
As the planning scheme for the cooperative tourism zone is finalized, the villagers of Cuigu Village are looking forward to the new development.
However, Wang Dashan knew that the real challenge had just begun.
In that special period of the 60s, when materials were relatively scarce and information was underdeveloped, it was not easy to put the planning of the cooperative tourism zone into practice.
Wang Dashan travels between his village and surrounding cooperating villages every day to discuss specific implementation details with the village heads.
On this day, Wang Dashan came to Qingshan Village again and continued to discuss the construction of the tourist ring road with the village chief Li Fu.
The two stood in front of the ancient forest in Qingshan Village. Wang Dashan looked at the lush trees in front of him and said, "Village Chief Li, this forest is a highlight of our cooperative tourism area. We need to plan it well to ensure that tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery while ensuring safety and protecting the environment."
Li Fu nodded and frowned, saying, "Secretary Wang, I also know that this forest is important, but we don't have much experience and don't know what to do. Moreover, if we want to build some tourist roads in this forest, we have to cut down some trees, and the villagers are reluctant to do so."
Wang Dashan patted Li Fu on the shoulder and said, "Village Chief Li, I understand how everyone feels. We can cut down as few trees as possible, find professionals to design the road, and build it more cleverly, so that tourists can walk smoothly while preserving the original appearance of the forest to the greatest extent. We can also work with the villagers to let them understand that this is for long-term development. With more tourists in the future, everyone's income will increase."
The two walked around in the woods again, carefully examining the terrain, and discussing where to set up an observation deck and where to build a rest pavilion.
After returning to the Qingshan Village Office, Wang Dashan and Li Fu convened some village representatives from the two villages to discuss the specific matters of the construction of the tourist ring line.
Wang Dashan stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, it is a great opportunity for us to cooperate in developing this tourist area. In the future, many tourists will come here, and our lives will definitely get better and better. Take the trees in Qingshan Village for example, they are treasures. As long as we plan well, they will be a golden signboard to attract tourists."
A villager stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, we know it's a good thing, but if we cut down the tree, what will we do if there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster in the future?"
Wang Dashan patiently explained: "Fellow villagers, we won't cut down trees indiscriminately. We will just build a few roads and a few viewing spots, which will have little impact on the forest. Moreover, we have tourism and money, so we can do more things, such as building better flood control embankments for the village and buying more food for storage, so we don't have to worry about natural disasters or man-made disasters."
After some discussion and persuasion, the villagers' attitudes gradually changed and they began to support the construction of the tourist loop.
At the same time, in Cui Gu Village, the work of introducing agricultural product processing technology and equipment is also proceeding in full swing.
The equipment supplier sent technicians to train the villagers.
Wang Dashan gathered all the young laborers in the village to the processing plant and said to them, "Fellow villagers, today the technicians are here to train us on the use of new equipment. This is a good opportunity. Once we learn, we can take our agricultural product processing to a new level and make more money in the future. Everyone should study hard and ask questions if you have any."
The technicians began to explain in detail the operation methods and precautions of the equipment. The villagers gathered around the equipment and listened carefully, but some of them looked embarrassed.
A young man scratched his head and said, "Master, you speak too fast. I can't keep up. This machine looks so complicated. I'm afraid I can't learn it."
The technician smiled and said, "Don't worry, young man. This machine looks complicated, but it's actually not difficult to operate as long as you study hard. I will teach you slowly. You will become proficient after practicing a few times."
Wang Dashan also encouraged everyone: "Don't be afraid of difficulties. We have repaired the road and upgraded the electricity. Are you still afraid that you can't learn this machine? Come on, everyone. We can do it."
With Wang Dashan's encouragement, the villagers began to earnestly follow the technicians to learn how to operate the equipment, practicing over and over again.
However, Wang Dashan encountered difficulties in promoting the tourist area.
In that era, there were no television advertisements or the Internet, so promotion could only rely on traditional methods such as posting posters and word of mouth.
After discussing with the village cadres, Wang Dashan decided to send several young and strong men to the surrounding towns to promote the campaign with posters and promotional materials.
Before they set off, Wang Dashan said to them: "When you go out, you must publicize the characteristics of our cooperative tourism area and let more people know how good it is here. Introduce it to people enthusiastically when you meet them, and don't be afraid of trouble."
The young men nodded and set off with full confidence.
As the days passed, the construction of the tourist ring road gradually took shape thanks to the joint efforts of the villagers from the two villages.
The paths in the woods have been repaired, and viewing platforms and pavilions have been built, which looks quite unique.
In the agricultural product processing plant, the villagers have gradually mastered the operation techniques of the new equipment, and production efficiency and product quality have been significantly improved.
The young men who went out to promote the area also brought back good news. After they promoted it in surrounding towns, many people became interested in the cooperative tourist area and asked about the specific situation.
After Wang Dashan learned about this, he said to everyone happily: "Fellow villagers, our efforts have not been in vain. Some people are already interested in our tourist area. Let's work harder and do a good job in all aspects to welcome the arrival of tourists."
On a sunny day, the Hezuo Tourist Area welcomed its first batch of tourists.
Wang Dashan and Li Fu stood at the entrance of the tourist loop and greeted them warmly.
Tourists walked into the woods and looked at the beautiful natural scenery, marveling at it.
"Oh, the scenery here is so beautiful, and the air is so good. It's such a great place."
A tourist said excitedly.
Wang Dashan was delighted to hear this. He said to the tourists, "Welcome everyone. I hope you have fun here and give us more suggestions."
Looking at the happy smiles of the tourists, Wang Dashan knew that Cuigu Village had taken a big step forward, but he also understood that there was still a lot to do and more challenges waiting for them.
At night, when Wang Dashan returned home, Xiulan had already prepared dinner.
Wang Dashan sat at the table and said to Xiulan tiredly but excitedly: "Xiulan, the first batch of tourists came to the tourist area today, and the response was quite good. Our efforts have finally paid off."
Xiulan smiled and said, "Yes, Dashan, you have worked hard. But this is just the beginning, there are still many things to do in the future."
Wang Dashan nodded and said, "I know. I will continue to work hard. I want to make Cuigu Village a place that everyone will envy."
After dinner, Wang Dashan sat under the lamp again and began to think about the next development plan.
He knew that for Cui Gu Village to continue to develop, it needed constant innovation and exploration.
He wondered if he could add some cultural elements to the tourist area, such as holding some traditional folk activities to allow tourists to have a deeper understanding of the local culture.
In addition, agricultural product processing can be further expanded to develop some gift packages with local characteristics so that tourists can take them back and give them to relatives and friends.
Thinking about this, Wang Dashan fell asleep unknowingly with a smile on his face, as if he had seen a brighter future for Cui Gu Village.
