Chapter 174 The Headache of the Budget, Researching the Development of a New Town
Qi Tongwei then convened a meeting of the township government to understand the budget situation for various tasks and to summarize the results.
In terms of improving people's livelihoods, it will cost 130 million yuan to bring electricity to the remaining ten villages.
The reason it cost 30 more than expected is because the route is longer and requires more power lines and poles.
It would cost 100 million yuan to bring running water to 16 villages, because we also need to bring running water to every pond.
In addition, the tap water requirements in rural areas are relatively high.
It would cost 230 million in total.
In terms of transportation, the distance from the township to the county is 26 kilometers.
修建一条乡里到县里的公路，2级公路每公里造价350万，需要9100万；1级公路每公里造价1000万，需要2.6亿。
If the existing road is straightened and widened to build a Class II highway, the cost per kilometer is 1.8 million, requiring 46.8 million.
The four additional buses at the passenger station will cost 900,000 yuan.
The total would be 4770 million, 9190 million, or 2.609 million.
In education, repairing the dilapidated school building and replacing broken desks and benches will cost 60 yuan.
The monthly teacher training program costs 3 yuan; the village primary school needs to build 10 new teaching buildings, at 8 yuan per building, totaling 80 yuan.
It would cost 143 million in total.
In terms of cultural promotion, 20 yuan is needed to publicize national policies, popularize legal knowledge, and improve literacy among the general public.
In terms of family planning, purchasing condoms and other family planning supplies requires 60 yuan.
In terms of healthcare, the health center needs 80 yuan to purchase urgently needed equipment, and 200 million yuan to build a new health center.
It would cost 280 million in total.
In agriculture, adding 2000 mu of vegetables requires 30 yuan, greenhouse vegetables require 100 million yuan, and reclaiming wasteland requires 300 million yuan.
Raising crayfish and fish requires 30 yuan, while raising pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. requires 100 million yuan.
Promoting agricultural technology requires 30 yuan, promoting chemical fertilizers requires 80 yuan, and increasing agricultural machinery requires 50 yuan.
It would cost 720 million in total.
In terms of water conservancy, repairing existing ditches and expanding new ditches requires 50 yuan; repairing reservoirs requires 120 million yuan, building new reservoirs requires 350 million yuan, and developing reservoir economy requires 60 yuan.
It would cost 580 million in total.
In terms of industry and commerce, the vegetable company needs 40 yuan to buy trucks, the food company needs 50 yuan to establish a food company, and the river dam at the location of the township government needs 120 million yuan.
It would cost 210 million in total.
In terms of infrastructure, it will cost 30 to build drainage pipes on the streets and 40 to pave the streets.
Building a landfill would cost 30 yuan, while improving the street environment would cost 10 yuan.
It would cost 110 million in total.
In terms of purchasing a car, it costs 55 yuan, and it costs 95 yuan to purchase a motorcycle, totaling 150 million yuan.
In terms of funding, the township needs 100 million yuan, various departments need 180 million yuan, and each village needs 20 yuan, totaling 300 million yuan.
The remaining 100 million.
Excluding the transportation budget, the total is 2903 million. Including the transportation budget, the total is 7673 million.
"Did everyone put their budgets into practice? Where does the township get so much money for such a large budget?!"
Qi Tongwei felt a headache when he saw the total amount. He hadn't expected that the work he had planned would require such a large budget.
Even without road construction, the budget would be 3000 million; if road construction were to be carried out, the budget would be at least 7673 million.
It seems that building a Class 2 highway is not possible for the time being; we can only pave the road surface and compact it first.
Otherwise, the new town cannot be developed.
"No, mayor, we did a very serious and meticulous job of preparing these budgets!"
Zhang Feiyang, Hu Zhengyi, Xu Kai, Zhou Hanwen, Feng Dagang, Yu Qingwei, and Ji Xianglin all shook their heads.
"Alright, Mayor Hanwen, please redo the budget for the highways, just make a small adjustment, and make sure it's solid."
The village has other things to do; the road construction can be put on hold for now.
Qi Tongwei had no choice but to temporarily shelve the road construction project. The investment was too large, and he simply couldn't afford to do it now. He would wait until next year to see how it went.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Zhou Hanwen's voice was somewhat low. He had originally thought that the transportation sector could be greatly improved, but the township head cut the budget.
However, with a budget of 143 million for education and 20 for culture, he can also make a difference in these areas.
"All work is progressing normally, and the funds will be allocated to you on time after the Spring Festival."
Qi Tongwei said that the plan has been formulated and the budget has been prepared, so the work cannot be delayed.
These tasks can only proceed smoothly if the budget funds are guaranteed.
Of course, the benefits are also obvious. These jobs alone can generate 3000 million in GDP, which is equivalent to completing half of the GDP target.
With the addition of developing new towns, Lei Yaohua's tasks for this year will be completed.
This is just the investment from the township; the production by the local people and the development of several local enterprises will also generate some GDP.
By the end of the year, we might be able to exceed our targets.
"Next, I'd like to talk about something else that concerns the development of the village next year."
Qi Tongwei has already prepared a plan for developing Biyun Township into a new town, and he plans to bring it up for discussion at the township government meeting.
"Recently, I and the Planning and Construction Office have been conducting inspections in the vicinity."
Based on the results of my investigation, I found that the other side of the Biyun River is very suitable for urban development.
Therefore, I'm planning to develop a town along the Biyun River. Let's all share our opinions!
Qi Tongwei explained the plan to develop the new town and asked the group for their opinions.
"Township head, why not do it here? Wouldn't it be better to do town development here?"
Zhang Feiyang couldn't understand why Qi Tongwei chose to develop urban construction on the other side of the Biyun River.
The Biyun Township government is on this side; there's nothing on the other side of the Biyun River.
"Yes, township head, why not do it here?"
Hu Zhengyi also said that the entire Biyun Village is here, so why not go there to build a new town? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
"what about you?"
Qi Tongwei did not answer Zhang Feiyang and Hu Zhengyi, but looked at Xu Kai, Zhou Hanwen, Feng Dagang, Yu Qingwei and Ji Xianglin.
"Mayor, I think it would be better to carry out urban development over there. We can save a lot of money on demolition and relocation costs."
Developing a new town here not only requires a large amount of demolition compensation, but the demolition process is also very slow.
The villagers need a place to live before they can relocate, which requires finding a place to build houses.
That would affect the village's planning.
Developing new towns over there would have many advantages.
Firstly, it saves on demolition costs, and secondly, it eliminates the need for villagers to find places to build houses, thus avoiding disruption to the township's planning.
Thirdly, once the new town is developed there, the villagers here can move there, which will make future relocation much easier.
Xu Kai said, "This is Biyun Village, where the township government is located. There are many people here, and a lot of money is needed for demolition."
The village doesn't have that much money.
Moreover, demolition is quite troublesome.
These problems wouldn't exist if new towns were built there.
