pinnacle of power

Liu Qingyu immediately connected the phone.

"Boss, during my inspection today, I discovered that there are three seriously polluting enterprises hidden at the border of the high-tech zone, and the black sewage was directly discharged into the Wula River. I am still one meter away from the river, so I will I can smell a very pungent rancid smell. The grass and trees along the river are withered and yellow. There is a village not far in front of me, surrounded by grave mounds. I can’t see many people in such a big village. Boss, I suspect that the people here The problem of environmental pollution is very serious." When Tang Zhiyong spoke, there was a deep worry in his voice.

After hearing Tang Zhiyong's call, Liu Qingyu was really stunned.

He has always believed that the main reason why the development zone has been unable to attract investment is that the leadership team of the high-tech zone is not working well. Now after hearing Tang Zhiyong's words, Liu Qingyu suddenly realized that the problem of the high-tech zone is definitely not just unilaterally caused by the previous leadership team. I am afraid that environmental pollution is also a very important issue.

Liu Qingyu immediately said in a deep voice: "Okay, Zhiyong, you continue to inspect, don't you bring the camera? You must always do a good job of collecting evidence in real time, observe more places, and I will rush over now."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyu frowned immediately.

At this time, Xia Pengfei saw that Liu Qingyu was so busy, and immediately said: "District Chief, then I will arrange a car for you immediately and take you there."

Liu Qingyu nodded: "Well, since you just took office, you probably haven't established a good relationship with those in the driver's class. I'll let Zhao Ran take you to the driver's class to show your face and announce your position. It's time for you to search carefully in the driver's class to see if there is any suitable person, and if so, you can find someone to be my full-time driver."

Xia Pengfei immediately nodded and went out.

Ten minutes later, Liu Qingyu immediately drove out of the district government compound and rushed directly to the area adjacent to the High-tech Zone and Lubei District.

When Liu Qingyu drove to the place Tang Zhiyong called Fenglong Village, he found that at the entrance of the village, Liu Xiaofei, his right-hand assistant Zhang Deyong, Tang Zhiyong and others were standing at the entrance of the village with serious faces. , beside them, stood a villager in his 60s, Liu Xiaofei and the others were listening to the villager's story.

Seeing Liu Qingyu coming by car, the villager looked a little flustered, and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Liu Xiaofei took his arm and said, "Don't be afraid, fellow, this is the director of the management committee of the high-tech zone." , including your village, is under the management of the high-tech zone, he is different from other officials, he is here to make decisions for you."

The villager was taken aback when he heard Liu Xiaofei's words, but his eyes were full of doubts.

Liu Qingyu was quite surprised to see Liu Xiaofei also appearing at the scene, but he didn't show it, but immediately looked at the villager and said, "Hello fellow, I'm Liu Qingyu, manager of the High-tech Zone. Director of the committee, your village is under the jurisdiction of the management committee, you can report to me anything you want."

The wrinkled villager looked at Liu Qingyu with yellowish, lonely, and confused eyes and said, "You...you can really be the master of our village? Some officials and even reporters came here before and said yes You can decide for us, but in the end it’s nothing.”

When he said these words, a ray of sadness and despair flashed in the depths of the villager's eyes.He really has completely despaired of all the officials.In his opinion, officials in the world are generally black, and no one will come out to make decisions for the villagers of their remote and impoverished village.

Hearing the old farmer's desolate voice, Liu Qingyu's heart trembled.

He saw clearly the look in the eyes of the villager when he said those words just now, that kind of despair, that kind of sadness, made Liu Qingyu feel a deep tingling feeling.

Liu Qingyu said in a deep voice: "My fellow, I dare not say that I will be able to solve the problem for you, but I assure you that as long as I have one breath, I will try my best to solve your various problems for all the people in the jurisdiction. kind of difficulty."

Liu Qingyu did not make an absolute promise to this old farmer who was already full of despair towards officials, because he knew that the old farmer must have heard too many promises, but in the end he was very disappointed, so his heart is a little bit Almost desperate.

After hearing Liu Qingyu's words, the old farmer looked at Liu Qingyu in surprise, with a ray of hope in his eyes, then knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said bitterly, "Master Qingtian, please Make the decision for our Fenglong Village, otherwise, within a few years, I am afraid that all the people in our village will die."

Liu Qingyu was taken aback after hearing this, and he immediately helped the old farmer to stand up, and asked very anxiously: "My fellow, what's going on, why do you say that?"

The old farmer wiped away his tears, his old face full of vicissitudes was covered with black spots, and wept with a bit of sadness in his voice, and began to talk about the tragic experience of their entire small village in the past ten years.

More than ten years ago, their small village was well-known as a wealthy village, with fertile land, and relying on the Wula River, with convenient irrigation and abundant fish and shrimp.However, 12 years ago, a paper mill was first built on the ground in the north area of ​​the east bank of the Wula River upstream. Soon after the paper mill was built, the water of the Wula River was no longer as clear as it used to be, and it was dark all day long. , also exudes a pungent odor.In the first few years, the villagers didn't feel anything.It just feels a little bad smell.

However, 9 years ago, on the west bank of the Wula River, a fertilizer factory was first built on the ground of the high-tech zone, and then a pesticide factory was built. The establishment of these two factories caused the entire Fenglong Village to explode huge change.

At first, the pungent smell emitted by the chemical fertilizer factory and the pesticide factory made the villagers dare not open the windows. Later, even if the windows were tightly closed, the pungent smell could not be blocked. Later, when the villagers slept, they could only cover their noses with wet towels.In the next 9 years, 0 people died of cancer in this small village with more than 108 people, accounting for 90% of the death toll in the whole village. Among the cancer deaths, more than 50% were under the age of 50, and the youngest patients who died of cancer were less than 3 years old.

Patients with esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, lymphatic cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, and intestinal cancer have everything.Even among the remaining living villagers, the prevalence rate of cancer patients is still as high as 50%, that is to say, the remaining 50.00% of the body is also suffering from this disease and that disease, and those young people with some ability All fled the village and went to other places to survive.

Due to the long-term use of sewage to irrigate the land, the land became more alkaline and compacted, and the grain output decreased; the pigs raised by the villagers could only grow to more than 60 kilograms, and most of them suffered from hoof rot.And the grain produced by the villagers did not dare to eat it themselves, so they could only sell it in a market farther away, and exchange it for grain from other places to eat.

However, what really made the villagers of Fenglong Village feel very desperate was that they had approached the staff of the High-tech Zone Management Committee many times, but at that time the staff of the Management Committee had promised to help them solve their problems, but Every time there was no follow-up, the villagers in their village once gathered a crowd to petition the city government, but after the person in charge listened to their report and gave them a few words to promise a solution, there was no further follow-up.

Later, because people died one after another, and many young people fled their homes, even if they wanted to gather together to petition, they couldn't do it. They could only eat and wait for death full of despair.

After hearing the old farmer's sad and tearful narration, Liu Qingyu felt that the anger in his heart was unbearable, Liu Qingyu nodded lightly and said: "My fellow, can you take me to your Can you see the well water you drink?"

The old farmer nodded, and led Liu Qingyu, Liu Xiaofei, and Tang Zhiyong into a tile-roofed house not far away.

This tile-roofed house still looks a little bit new, and the exterior decoration is not bad, but after entering the far door, no one came out.

At this time, Liu Xiaofei looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, where is your family?"

Hearing Liu Xiaofei's question, the old farmer burst into tears again: "I have no family anymore. I am the only old man in the whole family. My son died in an accident while working in a fertilizer factory. My daughter-in-law remarried and left. My wife and my 3-year-old grandson both died of cancer."

Having said this, the old farmer squatted on the ground and cried miserably.

At this moment, Liu Qingyu, Liu Xiaofei, and Tang Zhiyong all felt a surge of sadness, and the corners of their eyes were all moist.

No one thought that such a tragic thing would happen in this small village.

Liu Xiaofei's face had become extremely gloomy at this moment, and there was a little more anger and dissatisfaction in the eyes looking at Liu Qingyu.

At this time, Liu Qingyu stood up, walked to the water pump next to him, and opened the switch to pump a bucket of water.

When the bucket of water was pumped up, Liu Qingyu smelled a strong pungent smell, and what really made Liu Qingyu feel angry was that the well water was actually red.

At this time, the old farmer had already cried and stood up, and said to Liu Qingyu: "Master Qingtian, look, this is the drinking water in our village. The well in our house is fairly deep, more than 30 meters long. Even so, the water is still like this. As for the wells of other villagers, most of them are not as deep as mine, and their well water has a stronger smell than our well water. Up to now, our entire village (more than 0 people, 60 18 households have all died, and 15 households have only one or two people left, and almost every household has died of various cancers."

After Liu Qingyu listened, he gritted his teeth and said: "My fellow, don't worry, Liu Qingyu has taken care of this matter, and I will make these three factories shut down for a week...no, all of them will be shut down within 2 days! This is my promise to you, to all the villagers!"
