Chapter 69 Holding an Environmental Protection Work Conference
Yuan Guishan arrived at the town government half an hour earlier, and went straight to Jiang Huaimin's office. The door was unlocked, but no one was there. Only after asking did he know that the party and government leaders were still in a meeting.He sat in the office for a while, and it was almost ten o'clock before he got up and went to the venue.

The meeting place was full of branch secretaries and village chiefs who came to the meeting. Everyone was discussing in whispers, and there was a buzzing sound. Maybe they heard some wind, and everyone was a little uneasy.

Yuan Guishan saw some village branch secretaries sitting in the front row, so he walked over to say hello, sat down, and asked, "What is the content of today's environmental protection work meeting?"

Qin Zhengliang, party secretary of Yangliu Village, said, "I don't know either."

Zhou Taoping, secretary of the Hengtang branch, said: "It is estimated that it is related to the sewage discharge problem of the paper mill."

Luojiaping branch secretary Tan Jiwen said: "Secretary Zhou, this issue should have been dealt with seriously long ago. Secretary Wei said at the meeting that day that a river of clear water should not be destroyed, and I agreed. Some paper mills are too outrageous. The sewage If it is not treated, it will be discharged into the Qingjiang River, and the water in this section of the river in our village will simply be unusable."

Luojiaping Village is at the lowest reaches of the Qingjiang River, and there is no paper factory in the village, so Tan Jiwen had a lot of complaints about the paper factory's discharge of sewage into the Qingjiang River very early on.

Qin Zhengliang said: "Secretary Tan, you can't say that. The four paper mills in our village did not pass by your place, and none of our paper mills directly discharged sewage into the river."

Yangliu Village is by the Qujiang River, and the Qujiang River is on the border. After joining the Qingjiang River, it flows out of Huangqiao Town.

Tan Jiwen smiled and said, "Secretary Qin, I'm not talking about the paper factory in your village."

Yuan Guishan knew what Tan Jiwen meant.There are 23 paper mills in Huangqiao Town, and Wushan Village accounts for [-] of them.Not to mention the other towns on both sides of the Qingjiang River, even the villages in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River in this town have opinions on Wushan Village.Every time in a meeting, Yuan Guishan had to hear some words like this, which made him very upset.At first he argued a few words, but later more and more people spoke like this, and the words became more and more ugly, so he didn't bother to talk about it anymore.

It was past ten o'clock, and the meeting hadn't started yet, and there was gradually some commotion in the venue.

Someone said loudly: "It's ten o'clock, why isn't there a meeting yet?"

Immediately someone echoed: "That's right! The ten o'clock meeting was announced and the ten o'clock meeting will be held!"

One person stood up and complained: "Dog days, people are so hot! There are too few fans in this venue."

Another person said: "Will this meeting still be held? If not, please tell us!"

At around [-]:[-], Secretary Wei led a group of leaders into the venue, and the inside suddenly became quiet.The meeting was presided over by Jiang Huaimin. The content of the meeting was indeed to strengthen the environmental protection work of the paper mill, and it is strictly forbidden to discharge untreated or substandard industrial wastewater into the Qingjiang and Qujiang rivers.For this reason, Mayor Huang made a report. From Yuan Guishan's point of view, Mayor Huang's speech was a rehash of old tunes, but the next two links were beyond his expectation.

The first link is that the secretary of the branch of the village where the paper mill is located signs and submits the letter of responsibility for meeting environmental protection standards to the party committee and government of Huangqiao town.Wushan, Yangliu, Hengtang and other six village party secretaries with paper mills were invited to a small conference room next to the venue, where each received a letter of responsibility.Yuan Guishan read the letter of responsibility carefully. In the letter of responsibility, he listed in detail the standards of rectification and the punishment measures for failure to meet the standards, including closing down the paper mill according to law, suspending business for rectification, fines, and issuing yellow card warnings to the village branch committee. One-vote veto and other measures.The six Party secretaries did not express their views after reading it, but they were signed by the leaders and Liancun cadres who came to do the work, and they walked up to the rostrum one by one, and handed these responsibility letters to Wei Zhiping's hands.

The second link is to set up a special inspection team for environmental protection work. The team reports the production and wastewater discharge of each paper mill every day, collects wastewater and sends it to the County Environmental Protection Bureau for inspection. Once the standard is exceeded, the accountability and punishment procedures will be initiated immediately.In order to ensure that the work achieves the expected goals, the team leader made a statement at the meeting.

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became tense, and everyone felt a great pressure.

Qin Zhengliang turned sideways and said to Yuan Guishan in a low voice: "Secretary Yuan, from this point of view, the paper factory has to be closed."

Tan Jiwen next to him said happily: "It's been done like this for a long time! This Secretary Wei is extraordinary! If we continue like this, the water in the Qingjiang River will be usable again!"

Qin Zhengliang turned his head and said, "Secretary Tan, if you are so happy, your Village Chief Ding may not be happy. I'm afraid his paper factory will also close down."

Tan Jiwen glanced at Ding Xuyang, director of Luojiaping Village who was sitting next to him, and whispered unnaturally, "Secretary Qin, don't talk nonsense, what am I happy about?"

Director Ding and others jointly opened a paper factory in Hengtang Village, and now he has a serious face and his brows are furrowed.

Jiang Huaimin said loudly at this time: "Please be quiet, everyone, now we welcome Secretary Wei to make an important speech with warm applause!"

After a burst of applause, Wei Zhiping delivered a speech.His speech was calm but clear. Some speeches were made at yesterday's meeting, but most of them expounded the relationship between economic development and environmental protection from a relatively novel and unique perspective. The basis and starting point of these measures issued by the party committee and the government, as well as the goals to be achieved.Yuan Guishan was fascinated by what he heard. This was the best report he had ever heard. He felt that what Secretary Wei said made sense, but he knew that if things went on like this, no paper mill in Wushan Village could reach the level of the party committee except for the Sun family. The government's request can only be closed down!

After the meeting ended, Yuan Guishan saw Yuan Wuhua's car outside the venue, walked over and asked, "Have all the salesmen come? How was the meeting going?"

Yuan Wuhua smiled and said, "Master, what kind of sales meeting is that? Only Ren Zhijian and Peng Zhiping came, and they sat for a while and then left."

"There are only two people here? Are you leaving?" Yuan Guishan couldn't believe it. Seeing that Yuan Wuhua didn't seem to be telling a lie, he scolded, "These people are too dishonest!"

Yuan Wuhua asked: "Master, are you going back?"

Yuan Guishan said: "No one came, what's the use of me going back? I'm going to find Mayor Jiang."

When Yuan Guishan came to Jiang Huaimin's office, he saw Qin Zhengliang, Zhou Taoping, Ding Xuyang, and some village branch secretaries and village directors sitting or standing, all discussing enthusiastically.Jiang Huaimin sat at the desk with a tired look on his face. Seeing Yuan Guishan come in, he nodded and motioned him to sit on the chair in front of the desk.

Yuan Guishan didn't speak, just sat quietly and listened to everyone's discussion.What everyone was discussing was what Yuan Guishan thought of just now. The more they discussed, the more serious the problem became. Some were calmer, while others were more excited.Everyone discussed for a long time, but no consensus was reached.While everyone was speaking, Jiang Huaimin remained silent, and he would not speak when asked.When everyone saw this, they dispersed.

After these people left, Yuan Guishan asked: "Mayor Jiang, I thought about it for a while, the paper factory will definitely be killed if it goes on like this! Is the party committee and government really thinking this way?"

Jiang Huaimin was not as tired as before. He looked at Yuan Guishan and whispered, "Secretary Guishan, let me tell you the truth. Keep these words in your heart and don't spread them outside."

Yuan Guishan nodded after hearing this, and Jiang Huaimin said: "There are differences in the party committee! Most leaders disagree with this, and I don't agree with it, but there is no way. Secretary Wei emphasized that it must be like this."

Yuan Guishan was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Is that so! Your party committee is not unified yet?"

Jiang Huaimin looked at the door and said, "Secretary Yuan, please stop for a while and take a look."

Yuan Guishan said: "I told you, the market is not good now, and we stopped long ago."

Jiang Huaimin said: "The Qianjin paper mill has stopped, what about the other paper mills? They all stop!"

Yuan Guishan said: "When I get back, I will call the owner of the paper factory for a meeting, and everyone should stop."

Jiang Huaimin said: "Here we will also talk to Secretary Wei about the situation."
