Zhang Aimin looked towards Gao Minghui and said, "Old Gao, what's the deal with that road over there?"
Gao Minghui replied, "I've looked into that road as well, it's pretty much a half-finished dirt road now. They had plans to fix it, but something happened with the leaders in their county, and in the end, it just wasn't done."
Everyone then turned their gaze to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang said, "I've also looked into the situation. There was originally a plan for a highway, but the problem was that the county leaders at that time were worried that once the road was opened, outsiders would be able to discover what they were doing. Secretary Qiu and Secretary Fang probably know about this. The local leaders treated Chunshui County as their own fiefdom, committing many misdeeds. Since the road was poor, other leaders were reluctant to visit Chunshui County, allowing them to do whatever they wanted there."
