Chapter 94

In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and summer has arrived.

The 4000 million urgently needed funds for the HC Provincial Highway have not yet been implemented, which is Li Erhai's biggest headache right now.

Wending is a mountainous area in the middle of the country. It has no development advantages. It is mainly agricultural and has financial difficulties.

In the past few years, with the rise of the old second factory, the economy of Wending County has been promoted, and the overall improvement has been made. If there is no major project expenditure, there is no problem with self-support. If you don’t extend your hand to the province, it is already It is an honor that has indeed been highly praised by the province.

Now, the 4000 million gap is a problem.

On this day, Li Erhai invited a group of people in charge of finance and economics from the county to meet again to discuss a solution.

Everyone knows in their hearts that basically no one here can solve this matter.

Everyone still put the breakthrough on Li Erhai.County Magistrate Li has surprised everyone more than once, and this time should be no exception.

However, the deadline is coming soon, and now there is still a meeting to find a solution. It seems that the county magistrate Li has nothing to do this time.

Seeing everyone's dejected looks, Li Erhai knew that they had no other way, and was afraid of being criticized by himself.

The director of the finance bureau said: "The county magistrate, it's not that I am three points short. Department leaders like us must have no resources in their hands. It is more difficult to go out and get some silver taels."

Another person said: "Yes, this provincial road was dug by you, County Magistrate Li. Everyone knows the benefits and advantages of it. We all want to contribute. We have held several meetings. I want to brainstorm and make a breakthrough, but no one has the ability, so my eyes are dark."

The deputy county magistrate, Wang Dongsheng, was in charge of finances, so he still had a problem with Li Erhai. Seeing that Li Erhai had encountered such a big problem, he thought to himself, anyway, you are capable, let's see you show it again this time.

Wang Dongsheng said: "County Li, it stands to reason that we should all do our part for such a big matter as the HC Provincial Highway. After all, it is a merit in the present and a benefit in the future. Unfortunately, we all have more than our hearts but not enough power. See You have to suffer for this matter.”

When Li Erhai saw it, was there any room for negotiation?He said: "This matter is really difficult. Everyone has no choice, and it is reasonable. There is no need to blame yourself. We will discuss this matter again. Now..."

Just as the meeting was about to be announced, the phone on the table rang suddenly: "County Li, the people in the development zone are making trouble, and the scene is out of control."

The call was from the county police chief.

In the past few years, the construction of the new city has led to the establishment of an economic development zone.

In those few years, the whole country was developing development zones at the national, provincial, and municipal levels.

After all, you have a development zone, three links and one leveling, so the work of attracting investment is a bit convincing, otherwise, there is absolutely no need to talk about the work of attracting investment.

However, after the development zone was completed, everyone realized that the work of attracting investment was a melee, because everyone wanted to attract investment, so where did so many merchants come from?

Obviously, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.The vast majority of development zones are in a state of desertion, overgrown with weeds and extremely desolate.

The same is true for the Economic Development Zone in Wending County. There were rumors at the beginning that the state might close the approval process for small development zones. As a result, many places rushed to build large development zones.

Wending is located in a mountainous area with few flat lands. It took more than 2000 mu of land on the outskirts of the city with great difficulty, and Wending County Economic Development Zone was finally built.

It was only after the construction was completed that it was discovered that businessmen could not be recruited.

Large tracts of land are piled up, which makes people feel distressed.

The surrounding villagers saw that the land was piled up, so it's better to grow some vegetables.

Someone smashed a hole in the wall and sneaked in to cultivate a little vegetable garden.

Everyone has a herd mentality, if one person is capable, everyone will follow suit.

As a result, the [-] mu of unused land was replanted.Last autumn, winter wheat was basically planted, and the growth was good, and the summer harvest was coming soon, and a bumper harvest was in sight.

Unexpectedly, the county received a notice that the superiors would send someone down to check the status of the development zone, and if it was embezzled, it would be revoked.

The development zone panicked, and the management committee organized a group of machines to carry out surprise eradication of ground crops.

By the time the villagers found out, more than half of them had been eradicated.

Seeing that the grain was about to be received, and now that the crops had been destroyed, the peasants were in real pain. When they heard the news, hundreds of people immediately came to surround the site and block the construction workers.

Someone called the police, and the Public Security Bureau dispatched a large number of police forces to the scene to maintain order and persuade them.

Ordinary people feel that they have not violated the law, so they don't care about the police, they still ask for an explanation on the spot.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for five or six hours.

The chief of the Public Security Bureau was afraid that the matter would become a big mess and it would be difficult to clean up, so he called Li Erhai and informed him of the situation.

When Li Erhai heard this, his heart became angry. He said, the management committee of the development zone is not a troublemaker. Why didn't he ask for instructions and report on such a big matter.

Wang Dongsheng heard it from the side, understood, and hurriedly said: "County Li, the development zone has reported this to me. I think the land has already been expropriated, and the villagers have already received the land expropriation money. They and this The piece of land is no longer relevant. The crops were planted by them privately, which is illegal at all, so I will let the development zone handle it as appropriate."

When Li Erhai heard this, he felt dissatisfied, so he said, "What do you mean by planting it privately? Why didn't you ask when you planted it? What do you mean by discretion? Doesn't it mean to eradicate it?"

Wang Dongsheng knew he was wrong, and although he was a little dissatisfied with the criticism, he didn't say anything.

Li Erhai said angrily: "The meeting is over, deputy county magistrate Wang and I will go to the scene now."

When I arrived at the scene, the atmosphere was a bit tense, there were a lot of people, the scene was chaotic, the voices were noisy, and everyone was emotional.

The public security personnel lined up to block the crowd and maintain order without any drastic actions.

Zhan Hongmin, director of the management committee, held a megaphone and tried his best to persuade him there. He said: "Fellow folks, occupying the collective land without permission is illegal in itself. We are taking it back according to law. Please cooperate with our work. If anyone provokes troubles, It is illegal, and there will be no punishment!"

After hearing this, Li Erhai felt that his working method was simple and rude. Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire if he handled it like this?

Sure enough, there was a shout from below: "If you have the ability to take us all away, how can you be an official like you? It's our fault. The crops are right? You can't shovel the crops now! You are still a farmer. Son? Do you know the price of food? It will be ripe and harvested in about ten days. The golden wheat, how can you get rid of it?"

Someone shouted unceremoniously: "You are a cadre, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but we ordinary people can't do it. We have to find ways to make money in order to support our families."

When Li Erhai heard it, the voice sounded very familiar. Isn't it Zhu San, a butcher in Xincheng?
This Zhu San was a butcher from the original Chengguan Town. When the new city was being built, he took the lead in making troubles for demolition. In the end, it was Li Erhai who dealt with it, and even got punched by Zhu San.However, after Li Erhai's patient persuasion, Zhu San changed his mind and took the troublemakers away.

Li Erhai walked to the director of the management committee and said, "Come down."

Taking the megaphone from Zhan Hongmin, Li Erhai stood on a high place and said to the crowd below, "Folks, hello, I am Li Erhai, the county magistrate, please be quiet and listen to me, okay? "

In Wending, everyone who mentioned Li Erhai knew that he had a really good reputation among the masses.

Now when they heard that it was County Magistrate Li, the people below quickly fell silent.

Li Erhai said: "Thank you everyone. The wheat that everyone has worked so hard to grow will soon be harvested, and the harvest is in sight, but now it has been eradicated. Needless to say, I feel very sad! We are the sons of farmers. Knowing the suffering of farmers and the importance of food, I am the first to express my understanding of your feelings!"

Many people below whispered: "Yes, yes."

He went on to say: "Here, I have to make a self-examination. As the head of a county, I have an unshirkable responsibility for such a thing to happen. Here, I apologize to the villagers. We are wrong."

"After building this development zone, no business was recruited, and the land was left so barren. We also feel distressed. It is because we have no ability and did not do a good job. We are ashamed of the folks in the county!"

Someone below began to say: "This county magistrate Li is different. We don't have much opinion when he says that."

"The work is not done well, but we still have to do it. You may not know that development zones are being built all over the country. If you don't build them, you will definitely not be able to attract business. If you build them in advance, at least you may attract them. ...If one day, the development zone is full of factories, then the economy of our county will take off, and each of us will benefit from it."

"So, it is imperative to build a development zone, and we have no way out. I hope everyone understands. Here, I assure you that in the next few years, I will make this development zone flourish. Anyone can come to work in the factory. If I can’t achieve my goal, I will resign.”

Everyone knows that the old second factory is really booming now, and the wages of the workers are so high that they are all envious.Hearing what he said, many people shouted: "Okay, okay, we believe you."

When Li Erhai saw that the matter had changed, he said again: "Although what we have done today is a bit unethical, can you please cooperate and let us clean up the venue and let the superiors inspect it. After the incident, as long as we do not I allow everyone to continue farming the land used, do you think it is okay?"

After Li Erhai finished speaking, he looked down at Zhu San.

Ever since the demolition, Zhu San began to admire Li Erhai. Seeing that what he said made sense now, he yelled: "Let's go back. This land is not ours anymore. It would be nice if we could plant it. Let's just listen to it." Mayor Li, go back, go back."

Zhu San's words really worked, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wang Dongsheng saw that although Li Erhai was young, he really had two talents.

The director of the management committee, Zhan Hongmin, was trembling beside him, sweating profusely.

He knew that today's affairs were done hastily and almost caused a lot of trouble.

The chief of the public security bureau admired the young county magistrate very much and ran over to ask for instructions.

Li Erhai said: "You handled it properly today. You came here just to maintain order and did not act excessively. The people below are not our enemies. You must handle it carefully at any time. Leave."

Li Erhai called Zhan Hongmin over, and said to him seriously: "It is definitely wrong for the villagers to farm here, but when they started farming, your management was absent. Now you have not communicated with them, and you are rude The ground pushed the matter away. This is a typical example of your inaction at the beginning, and now you are acting indiscriminately!"

Zhan Hongmin lowered his head, not daring to catch his breath. When Li Erhai finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Dongsheng and thought, if only I could directly ask County Magistrate Li for instructions, this matter would not go wrong.
