Chapter 27 performance before the mayor

Zhou Fuquan returned to the county seat from Feishi Town. Through the car window, he suddenly saw an old man with white hair standing on the street.He hurriedly asked the driver to stop and got out of the car to greet the former leader. Zhou Fuquan hurried over and said, "Old leader, why are you standing here?" The old and vigorous old county magistrate Fang exposed the frail side of the old man. His red face was replaced by glaring age spots, and his silver hair turned into dry gray hair.Zhou Fuquan was surprised when he saw that the county magistrate Fang had become so old. In the morning, the old county magistrate Fang had a big fight with his son Fang Zhixing who came back from New Zealand.His son Fang Zhixing went to Lingxi in a rage, and the old county magistrate Fang went to the county party committee in a rage.Since Hou Weidong had a meeting in Shazhou, he found Gao Xiaonan, another deputy secretary.

When Lao Fang was the county magistrate, Gao Xiaonan was still an ordinary Chinese teacher, and the two didn't have much friendship.In the office, although Gao Xiaonan is very enthusiastic, there is alienation and vigilance in the enthusiasm.The old county magistrate Fang chattered for over an hour, and Gao Xiaonan, holding a teacup in his hand, listened carefully for over an hour, but he didn't say a single meaningful word. Knowing that he won't get any help from Gao Xiaonan, the old county magistrate Fang originally wanted to shake off his old temper, so he walked away with his head held high.Then thinking of his missing grandson Fang Jie, his attitude softened, and he said, "Old Gao, you need to worry more about this matter, and let me know if you have any news." In the past, he would call "Xiao Gao" confidently, Now under the eaves of others, how can we not bow our heads, the title of "Xiao Gao" has become "Old Gao".

Standing on the side of the street for a while, he saw Zhou Fuquan getting off the car. Lao Fang county magistrate grasped a life-saving straw like a drowning man, and said, "Old Zhou, do you have time? I want to talk to you about something important." Zhou Fuquan has been working as a government official and is the direct subordinate of Lao Fang's county magistrate, so his attitude is naturally different from Gao Xiaonan's.He shook hands with the old county magistrate Fang, and said: "The old leader has something to do, come to my office to talk." He respectfully invited the old county magistrate to get into the car.

Lao Fang county magistrate got into Zhou Fuquan's car and leaned on the soft sofa, as if he had returned to the feeling of going to the countryside in a jeep to check work.He was not in a hurry to talk about his grandson Fang Jie, and said, "I heard that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee approved your appointment as a member of the Standing Committee. Congratulations, brother." "Old leader, at my age, being a member of the Standing Committee means putting on an extra bridle and working harder, which doesn't mean much." The old county magistrate shook his head and said: "There is still a difference between the executive deputy county magistrate and the general deputy county magistrate, and this will also be considered when appointing cadres in the organization."

When we arrived at the office, the secretary hurried to make tea. The old county magistrate Fang mentioned the business, and said: "When Fang Jie is found, I will let this brat leave Chengjin, so as not to cause trouble to your leaders." Zhou Fuquan sympathized with the old county magistrate Fang's experience in the provincial party committee, but also felt injustice, but on the other hand, he also knew what kind of person Fang Jie was, and said: "Old leader, this matter can be viewed from two aspects. First, Fang Jie instigated someone to stab the director of the water plant, this is an extremely wrong act, and he must bear the corresponding responsibility."

Lao Fang county magistrate said: "I have said long ago that he did something wrong, and it is only natural that he should be punished. I am an old Communist Party member, and I will never defend my shortcomings." "Secondly, I dare to say responsibly that Fang Jie was never found by the Chengjin Public Security Bureau. At the Standing Committee meeting, Deng Jiachun, the director of the Public Security Bureau, specifically talked about this matter. Fang Jie has been in the lead-zinc mine business for the past few years. Business is complicated and his disappearance is likely due to business matters."

After working patiently for half a day, and promising to let the public security organs step up efforts to find Fang Jie, the old county magistrate Fang left the office.Zhou Fuquan looked at the old Fang county magistrate's old back and sighed deeply. Zhou Fuquan called the director in charge of the Public Security Bureau, made a request, and said: "Old County Magistrate Fang's today is our tomorrow. If you can help, you still have to help." After seeing off the old county magistrate, Zhou Fuquan came to Hou Weidong's office, handed the investigation materials to Hou Weidong, and talked about the old Fang county magistrate by the way.

Hou Weidong said: "Old Magistrate Fang's mood is understandable, but with regard to Fang Jie's matter, Chengjin County has no problem. Fang's family reported his disappearance, so it can only be handled as a disappearance case." "I also came here to persuade the old county magistrate Fang in the same way. He loves his grandson very much, and it is difficult to accept the fact that his grandson is missing for a while." After explaining the matter of the old county magistrate Fang clearly in a few words, Zhou Fuquan got into the topic and said, "Investigate The group has come to a conclusion. First of all, from the main point of view, the boss of Jinye lead-zinc mine gathered a crowd to make trouble and injured many government employees. The facts are clear and the evidence is solid. The public security organs have taken corresponding measures and detained six perpetrator."

Hou Weidong heard the news of Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine’s petition in Shazhou, and said: “Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine went to Shazhou to appeal, saying that the forced closure of the enterprise by the Chengjin County Government was an illegal act, and proposed not to issue a rectification notice It is also illegal to ask to stop production. I feel that the Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine came prepared, and let me ask again, is there really no problem in Feishi Town during the renovation process?" Zhou Fuquan sighed, and said: "It's not a big problem, it should be that there are deficiencies in the whole incident. Feishi Town has basically acted in accordance with the law and policies. A month ago, the town issued a rectification notice , stipulated the specific content and deadline for rectification. This time Li Jianguo led the team to the Jinye lead-zinc mine, which happened to be the third day after the deadline.”

Hou Weidong asked: "Why did Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine insist on not issuing a rectification notice when it went to Shazhou to appeal?" "The enterprise office in the town has issued a rectification notice. I checked the background specifically, and it was indeed issued a month ago. The fault lies in the specific handler. The comrade in the enterprise office received the rectification notice. Later, when he was about to go to the factory, he met another factory who came to handle the matter. He had a drink at noon, so he delayed the matter. After that, he forgot about it and never delivered the rectification notice. When the Commission for Discipline Inspection asked him to talk, he took out the rectification notice from his pocket."

When Hou Weidong was working in Qinglin Town, there were a few wine cadres in Qinglin Town. When he didn't drink in the morning, his mind was still clear, and his ability and attitude were not bad.As long as there is a drink at noon, the whole afternoon is ruined.Hearing that the grassroots cadres had made a mistake, he slapped the table and got angry, but he had no choice but to say, "No wonder Chairman Mao said that when policies are formulated, cadres play a decisive role. If the company in Feishi Town It is not a waste of time to be a cadre, and the affairs of the Jinye lead-zinc mine are much easier to handle." Zhou Fuquan has worked in Chengjin for more than 20 years and is very familiar with the situation of the cadre team in Chengjin. He also said with emotion: "Improve the quality of the cadre team and change the structure of the cadre team. It’s a matter of two days, or in other words, it’s a matter of one generation and two generations.” Hou Weidong originally wanted to calm down, but thinking of the town cadre who missed a major event, he couldn't help but get angry again, saying: "This town cadre has made a major mistake. The town must study it carefully and come up with a solution. We must teach this person a lesson. .” Zhou Fuquan nodded and said, "The most urgent thing now is how to deal with the current difficult matter." Hou Weidong flipped through the materials quickly, and asked: "At that time, Li Jianguo led the team to the Jinye lead-zinc mine, and did not enter the mining area at all. There was a conflict between the two sides at the gate, is this true?" "The owner of the Jinye lead-zinc mine is very arrogant. Not only did he not let him in, he even fought at the door." "In this way, the suspension of production was not implemented in time, and the staff of Feishi Town were beaten?" "Li Jianguo and his party did not announce the suspension of production at all, and the two sides clashed." "It seems that the Golden Leaf Lead-Zinc Mine is backed by a dog-headed military division, intending to escalate the matter, but the Golden Leaf Lead-Zinc Mine has not calmed down. If they wait until Li Jianguo and his party announce the suspension of production before fighting, Li Jianguo may suffer a dumb loss. Now the decision to suspend production has not been announced at all. As the administrative leader, Li Jianguo has the right to enter the site to inspect the work with relevant functional departments, and the problem of illegal procedures will naturally be solved." Hou Weidong was born in a police family and was in Shazhou University. As a major in law, he was very rigorous in his thinking, and he revealed the flaws in the Jinye lead-zinc mine beating incident in one sentence. Zhou Fuquan is also an old leader with a lot of work experience. When he was awakened by a word, he understood: "Then I will revise the investigation report and not mention the rectification notice. The focus is on Li Jianguo's legal inspection of mine safety. Gather a crowd to make trouble." Hou Weidong nodded and said, "Take this as the keynote of the investigation report and report to the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." Not long after Zhou Fuquan left, Deng Jiachun, the police chief, came to the office again. Both Deng Jiachun and Zhou Fuquan are thin people. Deng Jiachun is only 1.65 meters tall and thin, and Zhou Fuquan is close to 1.8 meters tall and thin. Although Deng Jiachun was short and thin, he had bushy eyebrows and sharp eyes with a murderous look.After entering the door, he sat down and said, "It's a great harvest. I sent people to search Li Yong's two homes, and took away an imitation May 4th pistol, three gunpowder guns, and a dozen long knives. Interrogated the beating man. The gangsters in the gang all confessed that Li Yong ordered the beating." "Is it enough punishment?" "I went to the hospital. The comrade in the town who was injured has been discharged from the hospital. There is no major problem. Strictly speaking, it is not criminally responsible." "The nature of this matter is bad, and Li Yong from Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine cannot be taken lightly." Deng Jiachun suggested: "This case is very troublesome, so I suggest that I go to reeducation through labor. Li Yong is involved in mobilizing a crowd, hiding firearms, and the situation in the previous police station. There is no problem in reeducation through labor. Instead of a one-year sentence , it is better to let him squat in the labor camp for three years." The so-called re-education through labor was established in accordance with the "Decision on Re-education through Labor Issues" approved and promulgated by the 78th meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, as well as relevant laws and regulations.Reeducation through labor is not a criminal punishment, but an administrative measure of compulsory education and reform for minor offenders in order to maintain social order and prevent and reduce crime.Those who need to be placed in reeducation through labor are reviewed and approved by the reeducation through labor management committee under the people's government of large and medium-sized cities, and the procedures are relatively simple. On the third day, at the county-wide rectification work meeting, Zhou Fuquan, the deputy county magistrate, talked about the investigation of the Jinye lead-zinc mine incident and the handling opinions of the county party committee and the county government.When they heard that Li Yong, the owner of the Jinye Lead-Zinc Mine, would submit the materials to the Shazhou Reeducation through Labor Management Committee, the town committee secretary and mayor who participated in the meeting had different and complicated expressions on their faces. Hou Weidong made his final speech. He talked about two key points: one is that in the rectification work, all towns and departments must strictly act in accordance with the law, and there must be no flaws; The county government will never relent and act resolutely in accordance with the law. Sitting beside Hou Weidong, Jiang Xiangyu secretly said: "It is said that the secretary party is a penman, good at speaking but clumsy with hands, this is not always the case. Hou Weidong, a typical secretary party, is similar to a butcher, who dares to stab a knife." He compared Zhang Yongtai and Hou Weidong, and said to himself: "Zhang Yongtai holds the knife high and looks scary, but he is actually very careful when he cuts people. Hou Weidong never raises the knife, and stabs directly when something happens." The county party committee and the county government handled the Jinye lead-zinc mine incident swiftly and swiftly, which was a great deterrent to the small lead-zinc mines in the county.It's just that there are huge interests involved, and many small lead-zinc mine owners are not willing to easily withdraw from the stage of history. Hou Weidong received two threats, one by letter and one by phone.Deng Jiachun was even more nervous, and further strengthened the precautions against the backyard of the county guest house. At the same time, he stepped up the search for repairmen with serious suspicions. The former was to protect the current county party secretary, and the latter was to investigate Zhang Yongtai's case. Regarding these threats, Deng Jiachun said many times: "The series of cases of Fang Tie, Fang Jie, and Li Yong, I think, are all related to the murder of Zhang Yongtai. As long as this case is solved, everything will be solved." Deng Jiachun looked at the problem from the perspective of the public security. Hou Weidong, as the secretary of the county party committee, had a broader perspective and said, "The case must be stepped up, but the county party committee and the county government must be prepared to not be able to solve the case for the time being, and develop despite difficulties." On May 26, Chengjin County held a summary meeting of the first stage of technical transformation work and the rectification of illegal mining work of the county's lead-zinc mine enterprises. The technical transformation of lead-zinc mines is quite difficult. A total of seven mines have been completed in the entire Lingxi Province, and there are five in Chengjin County. Among them are three lead-zinc mines under Li Dongfang, and a lead-zinc mine owned by Director Zhao. mine, and the Shunfa lead-zinc mine of Zeng Xianyong and Qin Gan. The provincial government has read the semi-annual summary materials from various places, and plans to hold a technical transformation work site meeting in Chengjin, setting Chengjin as a model of the previous stage of work. The summary meeting on the 26th is the need of actual work, and it is also a preview of the next provincial government on-site meeting. Mayor Liu Bing knows the intention of the provincial government, so he has to attend this meeting in person. At 9 a.m., County Party Secretary Hou Weidong, County Mayor Jiang Xiangyu, Deputy Secretary Mo Weimin, Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhou Fuquan, Public Security Bureau Chief Deng Jiachun and others gathered at the junction of Chengjin County and Shazhou City.At this moment, the sun had risen and shone brightly on everyone. An off-road vehicle stopped in front of everyone with a "crack", and the short and fat man with a mustache jumped out of the car and said with a smile, "Everyone, are the road conditions okay today?" Mayor Liu Bing is coming to participate in the summary meeting of the first stage of technical transformation and rectification of illegal mining of lead-zinc mine enterprises in Chengjin County.In order to welcome his arrival, the construction companies of the four sections of the Chengsha Highway have made preparations and temporarily paved the section open to traffic to ensure the smooth passage of the highway. "The road conditions are good." Hou Weidong praised first, and then said sternly, "Hurry up and remove the banner welcoming the leaders, we won't engage in such ostentation." A meeting was held in the county the day before yesterday. Although the meeting didn't say what was going on, it just asked the tenders to repair the road.Humpty Humpty guessed that a leader was coming, so he asked someone to make a dozen banners with slogans such as "Lingxi Sixth Construction Division welcomes city leaders to visit Chengjin".His idea was very simple, he wanted to take this opportunity to promote Lingxi Sixth Construction Division in front of the leaders.After the city leaders have an impression of the Sixth Construction Division of Lingxi, it will be conducive to the development of the Sixth Construction Division's business in Shazhou.The short fat man didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and said: "Secretary Hou, hang up some slogans to show the enthusiasm of Chengjin County. Besides, the slogans have been installed, and removing them now will mess up the scene, which is not good-looking .” Hou Weidong looked at the content of the slogan and asked, "Who told you that the city leaders are coming?" Seeing that there was something wrong in Hou Weidong's words, the short fat man hurriedly explained: "The county wants to ensure that the road is smooth and level. I guess it must be the city leaders who are coming, and I heard the gossip that Mayor Liu is coming, so I made my own decision." Put up a sign." Hou Weidong turned his head and stared at the County Party Committee Office Gu Yunfeng with stern eyes, and asked, "Didn't you come to check the line yesterday?" Gu Yunfeng hated the short fat man Zhong Dahai so much that his teeth itch, and said: "I came here yesterday afternoon to look at the line. At that time, the workers were repairing the road, and there were no signs on the roadside." There were no banners in the afternoon, when were the banners installed?" Humpty Dumpty said: "The slogan was only finished yesterday afternoon, and it was installed overnight." Hou Weidong knew that removing the slogans at this time would make the scene along the road look chaotic, so he had to give up.He called Gu Yunfeng to his side, and said in a low voice, "This is all we can do for the time being. You should immediately notify the towns to prepare for intercepting petitioners, and ask Deng Jiachun to make emergency plans." When Gu Yunfeng saw the slogans along the way, he knew it was going to be bad.Chengjin is shutting down illegally exploited small lead-zinc mines on a large scale, and social conflicts are acute.Writing these slogans is undoubtedly to inform the petitioners that a city leader has come to Chengjin.At this time, half of the Chengsha Highway is open to traffic, and the road conditions are not good. If there are petitioners blocking the road, things will not be very good. Gu Yunfeng walked up to Deng Jiachun anxiously, and said, "Bureau Deng, I will immediately notify the party secretaries and letters and visits offices of each town to prepare for emergencies. The public security will also send more police. Let's talk about it." Deng Jiachun understood the complicated situation facing Chengjin better than Gu Yunfeng, and said, "I have just notified the police to increase the number of vehicles." Seeing that the police were ready, Gu Yunfeng felt relieved and started calling the party secretaries of the towns along the way. . At 9:30, a clearing police car and a medium-sized bus drove over from the direction of Chengjin.In the past, Iveco was mostly used for medium-sized buses. This time, the Shazhou government raised the standard for official vehicles and replaced Iveco with Toyota buses as special vehicles for leaders to inspect. When they arrived in Chengjin, the Toyota bus stopped in front of Hou Weidong.Yang Senlin stood at the door, beckoned, and said, "Secretary Hou and County Magistrate Jiang please get on the bus." Hou Weidong and Jiang Xiangyu got on the bus quickly, and the rest of the leaders got on the Iveco bus in Chengjin County, a clearing police car, two A bus headed towards Chengjin County. The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and Mayor Liu Bing was wearing a navy blue suit, which was classy and elegant. Looking at the slogans on both sides of the road, Liu Bing said calmly: "Secretary Hou, County Magistrate Jiang, don't hang any slogans next time. Leaders are public servants of the people and should go deep into the grassroots. Putting up slogans will only show that we are out of the grassroots." What Liu Bing said was neither serious nor serious, Hou Weidong felt a little bit nervous and a little bit uncomfortable, and said: "Mayor Liu, be sure to pay attention next time." When he was mayor of Shazhou City, Liu Bing couldn't understand these superficial articles the most. Back then, he would definitely have ordered the immediate removal of these pretensions.At this time, he knew that things at the grassroots level were complicated, and his tolerance was greatly increased, so he just said a few words in a soft voice. In the Toyota car, the accompanying people were the deputy mayor Gao Rong, the secretary-general of the city government Yang Senlin, the full-time secretary Xiao Qin, Liu Kun from the city government office, and reporters from the city radio station and newspaper. Liu Kun sat in the back row of the car, and when the car drove to Chengjin, he saw Hou Weidong surrounded by people from a distance, and felt sour in his heart, as if a needle was piercing his heart.Counting from the deputy secretary of Yiyang Qinglin Township, he has been a cadre at the sub-section and full-section level for six or seven years.He was thirty years old in a blink of an eye, but he was still at the official level. He thought to himself: "There are only four county party secretary in Shazhou. No matter how hard I try, it will be difficult for me to become the county party secretary. Damn it, Hou Weidong is too lucky. All right." Since he was in college, Hou Weidong has been the man of the college, and Liu Kun is secretly jealous of him.After joining the work, he first worked in the county government office and then became the leader of Qinglin Town, which can be regarded as suppressing Hou Weidong.Unexpectedly, after Hou Weidong skipped the ticket to become the deputy mayor, he passed all the way and became the youngest county party secretary in Lingxi. This made Liu Kun feel a deep sense of loss and powerlessness. After greeting Yang Senlin, Hou Weidong sat next to Liu Bing and introduced the construction of the Chengsha Highway, saying: "The Chengsha Highway is the only main road from Chengjin County to Shazhou, and it is the lifeline of Chengjin's development. After the public bidding, the county has stepped up its supervision of roads to ensure the quality of road construction.” Liu Bing looked at the scenery outside the window while talking.When he arrived in Shuanghe Town, looking at the continuous vegetable fields, he asked, "This is the vegetable base of Chengjin County. It should be difficult to adjust the fields, right?" Jiang Xiangyu knew why Liu Bing asked this topic, and he took the initiative to take the lead: "The year before last, Mayor Liu visited Chengjin and put forward requirements for the construction of vegetable bases. The vegetable base has developed rapidly in the past two years. When the construction of Chengsha Highway is completed , we are confident that we will occupy half of the vegetable supply in the Shazhou market." "Shuanghe Town was formed by the alluvial deposits of the Zhushui River. It is a natural vegetable garden. I am very pleased that Hunan and Chongqing have such confidence." Liu Bing added, "The curtain of development in the new century has begun, and we are at the right time , This is a very honorable thing, but it also poses a severe challenge to us. Weidong and Xiangyu will lead 700,000 people to a well-off life, and the responsibility on their shoulders is as heavy as Mount Tai." Hou Weidong and Jiang Xiangyu nodded frequently. At 10 o'clock, the summary meeting of the first stage of technical transformation and rectification of illegal mining of lead-zinc mine enterprises in Chengjin County officially started. The meeting was very concise. The first item on the agenda was Hou Weidong's summary of the lead-zinc mine renovation work in Chengjin County.The second item on the agenda is the presentation of awards.Li Dongfang, Zeng Xianyong and Zhao, the former director of the county party committee office, won the Advanced Technology Renovation Award.The third item on the agenda is a speech by the Mayor of Shazhou.The fourth item on the agenda is Liu Bing's visit to lead-zinc mining enterprises that have completed the first phase of technical transformation. While Mayor Liu Bing was visiting Li Dongfang's enterprise with great interest, two trucks drove over on a machine farming road.The truck is an ordinary truck, and the unusual thing is that there are dozens of people standing on it.Many people still hold banners and slogans in their hands. About 200 meters below the truck parking place is the Chengsha Highway under construction. Standing at the parking spot, you can overlook the road, but from the road, you cannot see the specific situation of the parking spot. Wait until 1 pm, a fat man at the parking spot received a call. "Liu Bing has already left the city, and will arrive at your place in 20 minutes at most." "Rego, thank you." "You have to keep your mouth shut about this matter, if there is a leak, I will kill you alive." "I'm going to do things, you don't have to worry about one hundred and twenty, and there will be absolutely no problems." On the Chengsha Highway, Mayor Liu Bing looked at the technically transformed lead-zinc mine, and he was in a good mood, with more smiles on his face, talking and laughing along the way. "The situation I saw at the scene was very good. It was beyond my expectation. I think Chengjin can be used as a model for the province's efforts to rectify the order of the mining industry." The last thing Hou Weidong wants to be a model of the rectification work is to put a rope on himself.He said objectively: "There are still many problems in the rectification work in Chengjin. The most acute problem is the closure of illegal small mines, which involves thousands of households and there is great resistance." Liu Bing said: "This matter has to be discussed from two aspects. One is that the interests of the masses are no small matter. If you want to close the illegal small mines, you must do detailed preparations and patient and meticulous ideological work to ensure that there will be no troubles; Small mines with high energy consumption and high pollution must be rectified with a clear-cut stand and a firm attitude." He also said earnestly, "Weidong, Hunan and Chongqing, this will test your ability to deal with complex situations." While talking, suddenly there was the shout of a police car in front. Slogans such as "We want to eat, we want to survive", "Work is glorious", "Down with corrupt officials", "Lead and zinc mines, large and small, have the right to survive", and "It is illegal for the county government to interfere with the production of enterprises" appeared on both sides of the road. . Several policemen desperately tried to open a passage, but soon fell into the crowd, and the scene got out of control. When Gu Yunfeng, director of the County Party Committee, saw this crowd, his face turned pale with fright, and he suddenly lost his ability to think.Deng Jiachun, who was sitting in the front row of Gu Yunfeng, reacted very quickly, jumped out of the Iveco car, and said something on the walkie-talkie while running. Gu Yunfeng was reminded by Deng Jiachun's actions. He took out his mobile phone and called Liang Yong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shuanghe Township. The company called. Hou Weidong has been sitting side by side with Mayor Liu Bing, which is Liu Bing's request.According to Liu Bing's words: "Sitting side by side is good for conversation." Jiang Xiangyu and the secretary general of the municipal government sat in the back row, while Gu Yunfeng, Liu Kun and others sat in the rear of the car. Seeing the emotional crowd, Hou Weidong raised his heart in his throat, with a calm expression on his face, and said: "Mayor Liu, today's meeting commends the lead-zinc mine that has undergone technological transformation. Small lead-zinc mines without mining licenses will still be gradually closed. Judging from the slogans held by those blocking the road, it should be that the owners of illegal small lead-zinc mines want to gather crowds to report the situation.” He originally wanted to say that he was gathering crowds to make trouble, but the words came to his lips , Seeing Liu Bing's focused expression, he changed the gathering of the crowd to make trouble into a gathering of the crowd to reflect the situation. In addition to Yiyang County in Shazhou, the other three counties have non-ferrous metals.Mayor Liu Bing, as the chief executive, of course knows the difficulty of rectifying the order of the mining industry. He is not particularly surprised by this scene. , reasonable, beneficial, and restrained." Seeing Deng Jiachun and Gu Yunfeng appearing in the crowd, Hou Weidong felt more at ease, and took the initiative to review: "Mayor Liu, I haven't done my job well." Looking at the angry crowd outside the window, Liu Bing shook his head and said: "The work at the grassroots level is specific and complicated, and it's normal for something to happen, let alone such a major event as rectifying the order of the mining industry. If you don't do things, you won't make mistakes, and if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes. People who are dedicated to doing things, the city government must protect." Hou Weidong was a little surprised by Liu Bing's tolerance, and said: "Thank you, Mayor Liu, for your understanding, encouragement and protection of the grassroots comrades. Please rest assured, I will handle this matter well." In his impression, Liu Bing is a sharp-edged leader.When he was working in Yiyang, Liu Bing, who was the mayor for the first time, was very high-spirited. He pointed out Shazhou, inspired Yiyang, and criticized Zhu Yan, who was then secretary of the county party committee, many times.But the Liu Bing I saw today has been smoothed out a lot and has become a lot calmer. When encountering something blocking the way, not only did he not get angry, but he took the initiative to comfort Hou Weidong. The crowd outside the car kept roaring and holding many slogans.Liu Bing looked at it for a while and asked, "Weidong, I'm coming to Chengjin for a meeting. Did you mention it to outsiders beforehand?" "Except for a few county leaders, no one else knows. The slogan I saw on the road just now was put up by the boss of the construction team after guessing." Liu Bing pointed to a slogan with his finger, and said, "Look at that slogan, I'm afraid the news of my arrival in Chengjin has already been leaked, so they can prepare in advance." Among the crowd was a slogan that was obviously made by an advertising company, saying "The People's Mayor loves the people, and the People's Mayor loves the people." Hou Weidong said bluntly: "Mayor Liu, non-ferrous metal mines are highly profitable enterprises and do not need high technology. A set of mining equipment, mainly diesel engines and drill bits, costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In the deep mountains and old forests, the possibility of being caught is small. , even if the scene is caught, the loss is not big, and the law enforcement department cannot arrest and punish people casually. Moreover, there are quite a few local officials involved in the lead-zinc mine, which is also my biggest headache. Every time I discuss something, It's always hard to keep secrets." Liu Bing said: "Speaking of secrecy, it is not an issue of Chengjin County. Even the Standing Committee, leaks happen frequently. But judging from today's situation, Chengjin should indeed strengthen the construction of cadres and purge the team. Otherwise you will have a hard time making a difference.” Liu Bing and Hou Weidong sat in the car, talking calmly, neither of them intended to get out of the car.After a while, several police cars came, and after a while, Liang Yong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shuanghe Township, also came to escort them.With the joint efforts of the police and government cadres, the people surrounded by cars and blocked the road were gradually surrounded and divided, and were taken away from the road. Seeing that the road was opened, the police car that led the team honked its horn twice, and quickly passed through the crowd like a fish in water.The driver of the Toyota bus and the driver of Iveco are both experienced. They followed the police car and quickly left the noisy crowd behind. When several cars were out of sight, Deng Jiachun stared, and said to his subordinate policemen, "Let the policemen back to the sides." With the sound of horns, all the police officers stepped aside and confronted the crowd waving slogans.There were two plainclothes cameras in the car, and they took pictures of all the people who participated in the traffic jam. The crowd lost interest in making noise when they saw several cars out of sight. Deng Jiachun waved his hand, summoned the chief of the second section, and said, "I leave the matter here to you, and we must find out the leader." After Liu Bing was sent out of Chengjin County, Hou Weidong and Jiang Xiangyu got on Iveco again. Jiang Xiangyu said with emotion: "Today's incident made Cheng Jin very embarrassed. Fortunately, he met Mayor Liu. If it were placed on other leaders, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome, at least the impression will not be very good." "Yes, Mayor Liu is very open-minded, which is admirable." Hou Weidong was perfunctory, and said in his heart: "Liu Bing has been crushed by Zhou Changquan for the past few years in Shazhou, but bad things have also become Good thing, at least the current Liu Bing is much more mature and stable than before, and his Chengjin line extended an olive branch to us." When we arrived at the place where the accident happened just now, we saw many damaged slogans falling on the ground, and the excited crowd dispersed one after another.These people lost the excitement just now, and when they saw Iveco passing by, their expressions were very indifferent. Jiang Xiangyu observed the people on both sides of the road, several of them were small bosses he knew, and secretly said: "These bosses are mostly uneducated and rude people, and many of them are bold and reckless. If you make them anxious, maybe something big will happen. This Hou Weidong continued to hold the hot potato." Thinking of this, Jiang Xiangyu turned his head and said: "Secretary Hou, these people are too disgraceful. They actually blocked the leading convoy and brought serious political influence to Shazhou. If you don't deal with a few people, it will definitely fuel this unhealthy trend. Evil." Hou Weidong said in a straightforward way: "The nature of this matter is bad, but it is not qualified to deal with people with this matter. County magistrate Jiang, the county government should strengthen the supervision of tax collection. Nowadays, tax evasion and tax evasion are quite serious. Chengjin's finances are originally for food. Financially, it hurts so much to lose this money.” Bypassing the mineral issue and dealing with the mineral issue is Hou Weidong's consistent policy for rectifying non-ferrous metal mines.Some time ago, in order to control pollution, he closed down a number of small lead-zinc mines with serious problems in the name of public security cases and pollution, and the effect was good.In the next period of time, he plans to deal with a group of people again in the name of tax inspection. Jiang Xiangyu was very quick-witted, and said: "It is customary in Chengjin that the executive deputy county magistrate will assist in the management of taxation. I suggest that Comrade Zhou Fuquan preside over this matter, and discuss the specific plan for this matter at the Standing Committee." Hou Weidong said: "Okay, the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee will try to hold it this week, and then you will bring this matter up." As soon as Hou Weidong returned to the office, he received a call from Secretary-General Hong Ang: "Weidong, what happened? How could the petitioners block Mayor Liu's car? You are too careless!" "It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. I don't have face!" Hou Weidong and Hong Ang have different relationships, and they don't talk around corners. Hong Ang said: "Now some people in the city say that Chengjin County is too hasty in the rectification of non-ferrous metal mines, which has caused a large-scale mass incident. It's irresponsible nonsense, don't take it to heart. In addition, the municipal committee has also received several letters of complaint against you." "Secretary-General, why is it so difficult to do something real?" Hong Ang said with a smile: "Some people in the agency have nothing to do. Of course, they can only talk empty words and find fault with the people who do things. Otherwise, how to pass the time will not reflect the value of being in the agency. Apart from these idlers in the agency, there are also People with ulterior motives maliciously slander for profit, the latter is more noteworthy." Hou Weidong said: "I walk upright and stand upright. I'm not afraid of suing." Hong Ang said: "The vast majority of comrades in the municipal party committee saw what you did when you came to Chengjin, and they have their own opinions. Secretary Zhu first arrived in Chengjin, and the new car always has to be adjusted. The new leadership team It also needs to be adjusted, he has a comprehensive understanding of the people and things in Shazhou. During this period of time, you have to be very careful and pay attention to Secretary Zhu's speech." He paused, then said, "You have to ask more questions. Secretary Huang reported that he met with Secretary Zhu every day, and the effect of his words was different." Hong Ang's last words made Hou Weidong fall into deep thought. At night, he had a dream. In the dream, Zhu Minsheng's serious face, Huang Zidi's face that seemed to be smiling but not a smile, the angry expression of the illegal mining owners, the gray hair of the old county magistrate Fang, and the blood red of Zhang Yongtai, these people kept changing in their minds, pressing like Mount Tai. on his chest.I wanted to shout, but I couldn't make a sound.
