More than 20 years ago, Xiyi village was a famous poor village in Pinglu. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in Xiyi Village: Xiyi Coal Mine Co., Ltd., a village run company with fixed assets of more than 100 million yuan, first-class middle schools, primary schools and kindergartens in the whole area; villas with European architectural style have been living in; cars that many people dream of driving into ordinary people's homes in Xiyi; all the old people over 60 years old in the village are from the government The village collectives give special subsidies. Every new year and festival, the village gives various subsidies to the common people. Every month, it gives the villagers pork, milk, eggs, rice, white flour and so on. In the final analysis, the great changes in Xiyi village depend on the party's good policies and Miao Zizhong, who is over 70 years old and who is the leader of the village. From 1979 to 1986, the old secretary, with his 14-year-old practical experience and excellent mine management ability, was employed as the head of the Baitang township coal mine. However, at that time, Miao was always "in caoying and in Han". While directing production, he was always concerned about his villagers. At that time, Xiyi village had its own village run coal mine, but the situation was not optimistic. It owed more than 230000 yuan in debt, and no one was willing to work in Xiyi mine because it owed more than 60000 yuan in wages. It is not so much a coal mine as a "black hole". In the face of this "black hole" and the anxious and expectant eyes of Xiyi people, the old secretary's heart was broken. A sense of duty bound mission prompted him to resign and return to the village in 1986 and take over the post of secretary of the village Party branch and head of the village coal mine again. according to the current situation of Xiyi coal mine at that time, the superior leaders proposed that he should personally contract the coal mine to save the enterprise, but the old secretary said, "I came back to do a good job in Xiyi coal mine and bring benefits to Xiyi people, not for my personal benefit.". In the face of debts and backward mines, the old secretary did not retreat or get discouraged. He went to visit relatives and friends to borrow money everywhere. While starting production, he strengthened management and constantly improved production conditions. First of all, the management personnel of floating personnel on the field should be removed, and the management personnel on the underground front line should be strengthened. Subsequently, the unreasonable carbon supply system was reformed. Originally, it was only for coal miners to burn 3 tons of carbon each year. As a result, villagers steal and pick up carbon, take a basket today and push a "car" tomorrow. The village is in chaos. "Why do the villagers pick up charcoal to burn in the coal mines run by the village? It's called begging with silver bowls.". Therefore, under his proposal, the system of three tons of charcoal per household in Xiyi village was implemented, which won the support of the people. Because he was busy with production and management, the old secretary didn't go home for dozens of days in a row, didn't close his eyes for several days and nights in a row, and fell down on the black land he loved many times. In order to save money and increase income, Miao Lao was reluctant to eat and spend. For a time, he was also known as the "three white" mine manager. The steamed buns are white Chinese yam bean curd, and the steamed bread is the steamed bread. The liquor is Baijiu Baijiu and no fried dishes. After more than two years of hard work, the coal mine finally turned into a profit, and the whole village economy began to glow with vigor and vitality.
