Meng Xiaohu's words were actually true.
Although Linxi is the furthest, poorest, and most lacking in development prospects among the towns, it doesn't mean that the towns along the way back to the city have better conditions than Linxi.
However, these towns have slightly better situations, each with its own small advantages. Mainly referring to agriculture, because they are relatively flat, it's possible to conduct scaled agricultural projects and swindle some national subsidies every year.
Of course, tricking some owners who love their hometown into returning to develop agriculture is also a common tactic. You invest to do it, the government will pave the way for you, guarantee you loans, and eventually, at least half of your subsidies will end up in the government's pockets, which means the leaders' pockets, hehe...
Nowadays, who doesn't want to make money?
Whose money is the easiest to make?
Is it ordinary people's money?
No, it's the government's money.
