C247 Deep into the "Tiger Cave"

"This company is a project of the County Merchants' Bureau to attract business and attract capital. The previous year, it was settled in our town. It was a key project in the county at the time. Our town has about 60 to 70 small shop type glasses manufacturers, copper company has a market with us, can realize the production and marketing integration. Therefore, at that time, he had considered the presence of the Daxing Village in our town. Logically speaking, with a Daxing company living in our town, it would be good news for both the village and the town. There are also several million yuan in taxes every year. Of course, we have to return to the company in full for the first three years. Land is free of charge and is exempt from tax for three years. However, no one expected that Daxing Copper Co. Ltd's pollution would be so shocking. The waste water was not treated at all, and was directly discharged into the creek. We have received complaints from the people, and many times have gone to the enterprises to negotiate, let them deal with it first and then discharge, so that the pollution will not be so serious. But the enterprise was brought in by the county, and did not listen to the words of our town. At first, the sewage didn't have such a great effect, but after a while, the problem became obvious. The crops on the ground were poisoned to death, and the people found that the well water was slowly turning red! Furthermore, the village had a cancer patient and a new baby with a malformed body. This caused the villagers to be unable to bear it any longer. Under the circumstances of their last visit, they chose to erupt. " Yang Jinwang said.

"In other words, in these three years, regardless of whether it was the county or the town, they did not receive even the slightest amount of tax from the enterprise?" Du Ruiqi asked.

"Yes. Companies pay taxes, but we have to return them in full for the first three years. " Yang Jinwang said, "The money from the business seems to have entered into our account, but in truth, we have not received any money at all."

"In that case, the price we paid in the first three years was pure, without any profits!" Du Ruiqi thought. She was not very familiar with the process of attracting funds for business. She had heard of such conditions before, but she had never analyzed them so carefully before. When encountering a heavily polluted enterprise like the Daxing Copper Co. Ltd, not only did the county, town and village not gain any benefits, they had even sacrificed their environment, the survival of the common people! How could such a situation be allowed to go on? She could not understand! Of course, the government might have considered long-term benefits, but for a business like this, the longer it worked, the greater the pollution would be, and the more harmful the environment would be to the villagers, so what was there to talk about long-term benefits?

If such an enterprise was not banned, there would be endless troubles in the future!

She thought back to what Deputy Governor Li Chengxin had said: "Do not develop with blood in your veins, and don't use blood in your GDP!" Yes, if we do not move Daxing Copper Co. Ltd away, the villagers of Daxing Village will never stop! This was because they were playing a game for their own children. No matter what price they had to pay, they would not hesitate!

The other members also talked about some specific matters, and Du Ruiqi kept detailed records. Regarding the leadership organizations of Daxing Village, she had a rough idea in her heart.

After dinner, Du Ruiqi asked Yang Jinwang to take her and Xu Wenjuan out for a walk, and to find out the location of the Daxing Village.

The April fields were green, the seedlings had been picked, the crops of every color were full of life, and the fields were full of hope.

After walking a distance, Yang Jinwang told her that the Daxing Village was about one kilometer away from the Town Government. Right now, the Daxing Village was on full alert. Outsiders should not even think of entering the village, especially government personnel who were about to be arrested.

Hehe, did they catch me too? Du Ruiqi thought. Thinking back to when they were in Peace Town, Tang Renbiao and Song Zude were captured by the commoners and locked in the granary a few days after they took office.

When they were near the Daxing Village, Yang Jinwang did not dare to bring them further, and said: "Dushuji, Mayor Xu, let's return. It's getting late, and there aren't any street lights outside, so it's better to return quickly!"

Du Ruiqi looked at Yang Jinwang's somewhat fearful expression, and felt a little sad in his heart. When did our government cadres become so afraid of the people? For a long time, the people at the bottom of China were afraid of officials.

The feudal society of thousands of years fostered the servility, fear and respect of officials and officials in the bones of the Chinese people. This formed a deep-rooted idea of the official standard, the sign of the rising star is official, the more official, the greater the prospects. From the ancient imperial examination system to the present civil service, it had to be like this.

However, in the 21st century, when China entered into a period of deep reform and opening up, there appeared this inconceivable phenomenon in some places: the government personnel were afraid of the people, they called the people "unruly people", and they wanted to maintain stability at all costs. However, there were more and more mass incidents!

Actually, in Du Ruiqi's opinion, this question was a very simple one. The outbreak of the contradictions was because the government was more and more moving towards the opposite of serving the masses, and was more and more at odds with the masses. By not putting the people's interest demands first, ignoring their rights and ignoring the voices of the people, China, the largest group of people, became collectively speechless, with no place to pour out and no solution to its legitimate demands. In the end, it went to the extreme side, confronting the government and intensifying its contradictions, thus attracting the attention of the government and solving the problem.

However, the price for this was huge and painful. Whether it was the people or the government, they had sacrificed too much!

If the problem could be handled in its infancy, or if government policymakers could consider the consequences before doing something, would there not be so many unnecessary sacrifices?

Du Ruiqi and Xu Wenjuan's dorm was right next to each other.

After returning to the dorm, Du Ruiqi called Xu Wenjuan over for tea.

There was a living room, a bedroom, and a small living room outside. Furniture and daily necessities were all there, including a small refrigerator and a washing machine. This was considered the best condition for a town in the county.

Du Ruiqi opened the music and brewed a pot of tea. Both of them started to drink the tea and chat with each other while listening to the music. This was the first time she was chatting with Xu Wenjuan in such a leisurely manner.

The fragrance of green tea, the beauty of music, the two women smiled at each other.

"Wen Juan, to be honest, do you have any thoughts on coming to Zhongtong Town?" Du Ruiqi asked.

"Honestly, no." Xu Wenjuan said, "Of course, I know that there will be new troubles here, that's for sure. But following you, I have confidence."

"Thank you, Wen Juan." Du Ruiqi said, "To be honest, when Governor Lee asked me to come here to take care of the work, my first thought was to bring you along. Actually, bringing you here was also a game, Wen Juan. I still don't know if it will work, but if Bo does, it will be good news for you. My position is still in Ministry of Propaganda, and coming here is just a transition, my goal is to resolve the contradictions in Daxing Village. The contradiction was resolved, the alarm was lifted, and my mission was accomplished. Then the rest of the work will be yours, Wen Juan. You are the one who is in charge of the Zhongtong Town in the end! "

After Du Ruiqi finished speaking, she looked at Xu Wenjuan. She noticed that Xu Wenjuan had an excited expression on her face.

"Thank you, Dushuji, for your consideration for me. I have also thought of this. However, I still hope to work with Dushuji for a while longer. This is a very good learning process for me. If I follow you, I always feel very confident and can learn a lot from you. It can be said that you are the best teacher by my side. " Xu Wenjuan said.

"Hehe, Wen Juan, you are too modest. "You are also an extremely experienced person. It's more than enough for you to take charge of yourself." Du Ruiqi said, "This time, we will work together and try to resolve the conflict in the Daxing Village as soon as possible. This is my wish. "

"Alright, I will definitely work closely with you. However, this matter was not that easy to resolve. "You've always had your own way of doing things, I think you must have a specific plan." Xu Wenjuan said.

"Since you want to come, then you have to know. The situation is very complicated, but as long as we think for the villagers and do it carefully, I believe we can resolve it. I want us to walk to Daxing Village together tomorrow and test out the situation to see how the villagers react. Then, we can make a decision. " Du Ruiqi said.

"Are we going alone?" Xu Wenjuan did not understand, "Didn't Calligraphy Yang say that their village is on guard, no one is allowed to enter, even government personnel will be arrested if they go."

"We just came down, and I don't think many people know us. We'll pretend that we're from outside the city, so we can take a look around and ask around. What's more, if good men don't fight with women, what can the two of us do to each other? " Du Ruiqi said in a relaxed manner.

Although he said that, Du Ruiqi was actually not confident either. She had no idea how or whether she would be able to enter. But this step was a must. There was no one here who could do the job for them right now.

Back then, he could ask the old Calligraphy to step out at Peace Town, but there were no such conditions here, and he could only go to the front himself.

"I believe we will have good luck." Du Ruiqi said.

"Always good luck following you. I believe it too. " Xu Wenjuan said with a smile.

"Alright, tomorrow morning, we will wear plain clothes and go to Daxing Village to have a look." Du Ruiqi said.

After breakfast on the second day, Du Ruiqi and Xu Wenjuan walked towards the Daxing Village on foot.

When Yang Jinwang heard that they had to walk to the Daxing Village, and even wanted to enter the village to take a look, he felt that they were too bold. He advised Du Ruiqi: "Minister Du, I'll let the driver drive you there first. Once you've revealed your identity and seen how they treat you, they'll let you in, so you'll go.

"Don't worry Calligraphy Yang, if we really don't return, it won't be too late for you to save us, I think they won't do anything to us." Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

"How about this, let the driver drive you to a place that is close to the Daxing Village, then you can walk past. Tell the driver to wait for you at the intersection. If there's really something, we can report it as soon as possible. " Yang Jinwang was still not at ease. What if the new standing committee Calligraphy was caught again, what would happen then?
