Qin Province, located in the northwest, is one of the inland poor provinces.


    There are many mountains in the province, the land is poor, and the people''s living standard is not high. Whether it is income or overall development, it can only rank in the middle and lower among many provinces.


    Although it has a long history and rich cultural precipitation, it is difficult for Qin province to develop an eye-catching tertiary industry because of its inadequate geographical location and the lack of excellent tourism resources in the province.


    Many cities in the province also have a dull smell.


    Although there have been earth shaking changes compared with more than ten or twenty years ago, this change comes more from the whole country.


    The development of Qin province itself is really poor.


    Yusen city is one of the prefecture level cities subordinate to Qin province. It also ranks last among the ten prefecture level cities in Qin province.


    As for ningbian County under its jurisdiction, it is a national poverty-stricken county.


    Jiang Fan bought the nearest ticket, and then flew directly from the capital to Yusen.


    After getting off the plane, I took a taxi to the long-distance station and looked at the departure time of the nearest long-distance bus. I should be able to arrive in ningbian County before dark.


    Although there is a train leading to ningbian County in Yusen City, it is not a high-speed railway. It swings very slowly. In terms of time, it is about twice as slow as a long-distance bus.


    The long-distance ticket is very cheap, 20 yuan. After Jiang Fan got on the bus, he sent a message to Shen Meng.


    Shen Menghui was a little slow until the long-distance bus had left the station and was about to leave Yusen city. Shen Menghui''s message was sent to Jiang Fan''s mobile phone.


    The content is very simple. He gave Jiang Fan a specific address and told Jiang fan that she can''t go there for the time being. After Jiang Fan arrived in ningbian County, he asked Jiang Fan to find a black car, pay more money and hire a car to her village.


    It is estimated that Shen Meng may be in trouble again. Jiang fan can''t help worrying.


    Jian Jiayi also sent a message to Jiang Fan at this time.


    First, there is a mobile phone number and a name. The content is very simple. This is the phone of a person in charge of Qin province. Jian Zhongwen has said hello. If Jiang Fan has something to do, he can call directly.


    The coach drove for almost an hour and a half and finally arrived at its destination.


    Jiang Fan got out of the car and showed up in the sight of a very dilapidated county.


    There are many similar counties inland. Especially in the northwest and southwest, it is almost everywhere.


    Despite the 40 years of domestic reform and opening up, the economy of the whole country has improved by leaps and bounds. From the original extreme poverty, it has now become the second largest economy in the world.


    But throughout the country, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing.


    The gap between the same country and different regions is even as big as two worlds.


    The developed areas along the coast, especially the four first tier cities, have caught up with and surpassed the moderately developed countries in all aspects, from income to living standards.


    However, some poor inland areas, with low income and living standards, are still at the level of developing countries.


    Even in rural areas in some mountainous areas, the living standard can only be compared with the worst poor countries in the world.


    Of course, in the process of the country''s rapid development, there is no way to solve these problems.


    In fact, it has been a great miracle that in a mere 40 years, the country has crossed the development process that other countries may take hundreds of years to complete.


    According to Shen Meng''s proposal, Jiang Fan stood by the roadside, intentionally or unintentionally stretched out his hands, and soon a black car stopped in front of him.


    "Where are you going, man?"


    The black car is a Jetta. It is obviously driven by locals, with a strong dialect flavor in its voice.


    "Can you go to Shenjia village in Yangjing town?"


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    "Yangjing town? Shenjia village? Ho? It''s too far away. It''s more than 30 kilometers out of the county. Why don''t you change a car, man? I have to wait to go home for dinner."


    The driver obviously didn''t want to do the job.


    The main reason is that after this trip, it is basically doomed to come back empty. For these people who run black cars to make a living, empty cars are a very hurt thing.


    Jiang Fan naturally knew what he was worried about. He couldn''t help laughing and said, "master, how about 500 yuan for this trip? It''s only more than an hour back and forth. If you can earn 500, isn''t it a lot?"


    "Five hundred?!"


    The driver was stunned. Then he was overjoyed and said, "that''s very generous of you. Get in the car and I''ll pull you over."


    Of course, Jiang fan knows that there are more than five hundred. If you pull a black car in such a small place, basically ten yuan can send you anywhere in the county.


    Even in the towns and villages under the county seat, almost 100 yuan is enough.


    But since there is no shortage of money, Jiang Fan prefers to use money to bring happiness to others. For him now, a few hundred yuan is meaningless, but it is enough to make other people happy all day.


    Sure enough, after getting on the bus, the driver looked much more enthusiastic.


    In particular, Jiang Fan directly gave him five hundred yuan bills and didn''t give them to him until he got to the place, which made the driver feel excited.


    "Man, are you an outsider? You''re here for the first time?"


    The driver asked with a smile.


    "Yes, my girlfriend is from Shenjia village. Come and find her."


    Jiang Fan said casually.


    "Ho? Man, let me talk a little more. You look like a rich man, don''t you? You can give five hundred for a taxi. You wear fashionable clothes. You must have good conditions and look so handsome. How can you find a girlfriend in Shenjia village?"


    The driver glanced at Jiang Fan and asked curiously.


    "What''s the matter with Shenjia village? You have a bad reputation?"


    "It''s not bad. It''s quite bad."


    The driver also has a sense of humor. After emphasizing a sentence, he then said: "our ningbian county is a national poverty-stricken county. Do you know this buddy? And Yangjing town is famous for being poor in our ningbian county. As for Shenjia village, it is even poorer."


    "Let me tell you, man, how poor is Shenjia village? Not many people in the village can live in red brick houses now! It''s said that many girls who come out of the village have gone to big cities to work as Junior Girls for rich people, and even as young ladies outside. Of course, don''t be angry, man. I''m just talking about such a situation. Just know it."


    Jiang Fan nodded, smiled and said, "being poor is also something I can''t help. When I fall in love, I don''t see each other''s family. As long as people are good."


    "Ouch, if you''re rich, we can''t do it here. When it''s time to talk about marriage, you don''t want to marry a daughter-in-law unless you give a bride price of more than 100000 or 200000. The poorer the place is, the more money you want. It''s like selling a daughter."


    The driver tut tut sighed and then said, "by the way, I heard that something has happened in Shenjia village recently. Be careful when you go, man. Don''t offend the village bully and suffer again."
