chat about anything substantial. Since it was getting late, the two of them went home from work. 。Guan Wenwei said he had an appointment in the county town and asked Xiao Zheng if he wanted to go to...A few middle-aged men were gathered around a body lying in the dust of rubble. No one who saw the body would feel comfortable after. 。Xiao Zhengqiang endured the discomfort in his heart and took another step closer. He saw the bloody and mangled body clearly. The head had been smashed by a rock and sunk deep into the flesh, and there were also deep indentations on the right shoulder and breastbone. 。The dust from the mine had settled on the wound, and the blood was starting to turn black. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't bear to look any longer. He turned to the other injured people. Some had bleeding arms, some had broken legs, but they still insisted on staying at the scene and not leaving. 。For what It's nothing but family and friends, wanting to get more compensation. 。

Xiao Zheng's heart ached, the life of a poor person is devoid of dignity. 。To live, under the scorching sun and pouring rain on these mountains of mine, to eat dust and drink dirt; to die, still be treated as a tool that costs more compensation, denied any peace. 。The villagers of Fengqi Village, are they just destined to live such wretched lives

At this time, Song Guoming, the secretary of the town Party Committee, Guan Wenwei, the town mayor, and Lü Qunchao, the deputy ***, have already arrived at the scene. 。Song Guoming, the branch secretary of Ma Fu village in Ming Dynasty, said: "Tell everyone, first get everyone down the mountain." 。Then, let's talk about something else. 。“Villagers, listen to me! There’s been an incident at the mine today. The town leaders are taking this very seriously. The party secretary Song and Mayor Guan from the town, as well as Lu *** from our county, have all come to help resolve the situation.” 。"Hurry up and get the dead down the mountain, and take the injured to the hospital!" But a family member of one of the deceased stepped forward and shouted: "If you want to solve the problem, do it here. We won't go down the mountain until we receive 1 million yuan in compensation." 。"Gēn Shān Lǎo r, your nephew earns how much a month How much a year" The village head said, "1 million. His salary takes how many years! Our village's collective economy is only 2 million, all given to your family, is that enough"

Gēn Shān Lǎo r said: "The village's collective economy, what's the point of keeping it Isn't it for your village officials and those who come down from above to eat and drink It should be paid to everyone." 。Village head Ma Fulai, upon hearing Gēnshān Lǎo'er's criticism of the village, angrily said: “Gēnshān Lǎo'er, you are talking nonsense!" 。"The collective income of the village is for the development of the village. What happens after we give it all to your village" A villager beside him couldn't stand it anymore: "Development for the village These past few years, what development has the village brought for us Aren't we all working in the dark on the mountain The money we earn isn't much either. But we villagers are covered in dust and dirt, living a life worse than death! You tell me, what development has the village brought If the village truly developed for us, there wouldn't be young people dying today, nor would there be so many people with broken arms and legs!"

Village Head Liu Jianming heard the villagers criticizing the village in front of the leaders, and felt embarrassed. He joined the argument: "You heartless guys, without the village's stone mine, you wouldn't even earn this much money now! Now that something happened, it's all the village's fault!"

"Whose fault is it if not the village's" Another villager also joined in, "If the village hadn't opened the mine back then, our mountains would still be green and our water clear. We wouldn't have these incidents of broken arms and legs happening frequently these years, nor those tragic deaths! The village is responsible! The town is responsible too!"

"The village is responsible!" "The town is responsible too!" Miners and villagers started to shout. 。The village head and the village chief, both of them, were unable to persuade the miners and villagers to come down from the mountain. 。

Deputy Lu Qunchao was getting anxious. He had been entrusted by the new *** secretary and *** to come and handle the accident. 。He had intended to finish handling the accident within an hour or two, and then report back to *** Secretary and ***, but judging by the current situation, things are proving to be very difficult. 。"Secretary Song, given the current situation, what do you think we should do" Lu Qunchao asked Song Guoming. 。At this time, Cai Shaohua, the director of the Party and Government Office of the town, came to Song Guoming's ear and said: "Secretary Song, Chief Qin of the Police Station has brought twenty policemen over." 。"Captain Qin, that's Captain Qin from the Tianhuang Town Police Station. Before, Song Guoming was worried about trouble at the scene, so he asked Cai Shaohua to notify Captain Qin to bring a group of police officers over to maintain order." 。Now that the police from the station have arrived, Song Guoming feels even more confident. 。Song Guoming turned to Lu Qunchao and said, "Lu ***, judging by the current situation, it's probably not easy to get these miners and villagers to descend the mountain on their own. " 。What I mean is, have the police station step in. If anyone tries to obstruct us, arrest them. 。Lu hesitated slightly. On one hand, he wanted to quell the situation at the mine as soon as possible. On the other hand, he didn't want to make a big fuss out of it. 。He said, "Secretary Song, how confident are you that you can settle things here all at once"Song Guoming said with a resolute expression: "It won't take long..." 。。At this time, the mayor Guan Wenwei said: "Lu ***, my suggestion is to avoid using police officers whenever possible." 。After all, the mining accident did result in deaths and injuries. It's natural for them to demand compensation, which isn't a crime. It wouldn't be appropriate to arrest them. 。We had better still do a good job of ideological work among the masses and understand their demands. 。"

Assistant Lu Qunchao is having some trouble making a decision." 。"Understand their demands" Song Guoming said dismissively, "Their demands are just for money." 。Did you hear that, they just said one person wants 1 million! They're being so outrageous! Where would the village get that kind of money And where would the mine get it Headmaster Guan, if you think you can do some ideological work, then take the lead and go up there. 。"I'll give you an hour, see if you can get it done"

Lu *** turned to Guan Wenwei: "Mayor Guan, do you have confidence in getting it done in an hour This matter is highly ** valued by the secretary and ***, and it must be resolved as soon as possible." 。If you can solve it within an hour, go for it now. 。If it can't be solved, then when it comes to strength, we can only use strength. 。"Guan Wenwei glanced at Lu *** and Song Guoming, then said, "I'll give it a try. "

Guan Wenwei called on Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng to go to the family of the deceased. After understanding the parents of the young man, Guan Wenwei said to them: "Brother and sister, we are also very saddened by such a tragedy today" 。We are also very eager to solve the problem today. 。As for the compensation issue, you have put forward your demands, and our town will collectively study it. We will definitely compensate you according to the regulations that we can afford, but it may not be as much as 1 million yuan. However, I guarantee that we will give you all that we can. 。I am the mayor, please trust me. 。The deceased's parents had been crying for a long time, their tears mixing with the dust from the mountain, leaving their faces smudged. 。They all look like honest people. 。Uncle of the deceased, who was standing by, cried out: “A million, that’s a million!” 。Without a million, we won't go down the mountain. 。The deceased's parents, hearing what the uncle and Genshan Lao Er said, also chimed in: "Without one million yuan, we won't come down the mountain." 。"In our later years, we would have relied on our son to take care of us. Now that he's gone, who will look after us Who will see us through to the end"

Guan Wenwei said: "The town government will definitely consider what you need." 。But I can't speak for everyone. 。"

That uncle said, “You don’t call the shots because you’re just a town mayor. The people over there, I know there’s a party secretary and some deputies, they are the ones who make the decisions, tell them to speak!”

This uncle thought he was a worldly man." 。

Guan Wenwei was quite helpless. 。His persuasion, these people are unwilling to listen. 。He, the deputy town head Jin Hui, glanced at him. Jin Hui just looked back at him, apparently with no good ideas. 。Xiao Zheng felt that he should say something at this time, so he said to the two elders of Genshan, "You are my uncles, right Those two over there are indeed higher in rank than our town mayor. But I can assure you that those two leaders definitely don't have the intention of giving you one million>>> 。Those two leaders just said, whoever among you prevents the deceased from going down the mountain, will be arrested by the police. 。Our town head wants you to send the deceased down the mountain first, and then discuss things properly. 。Upon hearing Xiao Zheng's words, the uncle looked towards Song Guoming and Lu Qunchao. Those two honest parents were obviously also afraid of the police. 。Xiao Zheng said again: "My surname is Xiao, I am a town cadre, and I am also from Fengqixia Village. My home is in Lushui Natural Village. We are from the same village. I definitely won't deceive you." 。Uncle, Auntie, your son already worked hard enough in the mines before he passed away. 。He's gone now, he shouldn't be exposed here on this mountain anymore. We need to settle him soon and let him rest. 。"We'll discuss the matters of the living, and I promise I will do everything I can to help you all! Otherwise, come find me in Lush Water Village!"

The deceased's uncle and parents looked at each other, their hearts feeling a little lighter. 。Indeed, they also feel uneasy and guilty about the children who were killed in the mine. Their deaths are exposed for all to see, and their consciences cannot bear it. 。People only resort to such tactics when they are desperate. 。Now, the village chief has also made a promise, and so has fellow village cadre Xiao Zheng. Perhaps we can really trust them

Seeing that most people had almost agreed, Xiao Zheng said again: “I, the villagers, won’t you be able to find me”

Finally, a villager said: “You can run from the monk but not from the temple. I know his parents, so I'm not afraid Xiao Zheng will go back on his word.” 。Thus, everyone began to agree to go down the mountain. 。ite me too" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "That's possible." 。At that time, Town Mayor must definitely attend. 。"> “It’s okay" 。"Guan Wenwei reminded, "However, the key issue now is to get the compensat...
