Zhou Binghua glanced at Du Guibin coldly, with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "As I said just now, the Environmental Protection Bureau can do things with confidence and boldness. As long as they act in accordance with the law, I will bear the responsibility. If Tianxing Group really
If they want to withdraw from our Hengshan County because of this, then let them withdraw.
It will rain and my mother will get married. No one can control this.
But as the top leader of Hengshan County, I must be responsible for the physical and mental health of the people in the county, and consider the long-term strategic considerations for the county's economic development. The worst that I can do is not be the county party secretary, but we in Hengshan County must ensure green waters and green mountains, and ensure sustainable development.
Continuous development.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Binghua looked at Zhao Guozhu: "County Magistrate Zhao, what's your opinion?"
Zhao Guozhu weighed it in his mind. He could see that Du Guibin dared to speak for Tianxing Group under the current situation. If nothing else happened, I am afraid that there should be interests involved between Du Guibin and Tianxing Group.
But he, Zhao Guozhu, did not.
Although Zhao Guozhu and Du Guibin are allies, this alliance is only a strategic alliance. It is only in order to strengthen his authority within the county government and to strengthen his voice in the county committee that Zhao Guozhu will win over Du Guibin to a certain extent.
But this does not involve fundamental issues of interest.
Although Zhao Guozhu will compete with Zhou Binghua on certain levels and issues, at this moment, environmental protection issues have involved issues of principle. It is obvious that Zhou Binghua, the top leader of the county committee, has made a choice. He wants to protect
interests of the people.
Since Zhao Guozhu chose to rely on the Wei family, he naturally wanted to continue to be promoted. Therefore, he could not leave a stain on his official career, especially now when it comes to the choice of stance.
Zhao Guozhu said in a deep voice: "Comrade Wang Jucai's words just now are like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, inspiring the deaf and enlightening. I am very touched. I support Secretary Zhou's choice. Only with clear waters and green mountains can we have gold and silver. Now we in Hengshan County need to reflect on it."
It’s time. In order to develop the economy in the past, so many polluting companies were introduced. Although the GDP has indeed increased, the environment has also been polluted. It’s time for us to scrape the bones and cure the poison. Maybe this process will be very painful for us, but
If we don’t manage the environment well, we won’t be able to explain it to the people.”
Zhao Guozhu's words are very beautiful, but he already has a plan in his heart. He can speak beautifully, but when he actually does things, he will not give Wang Jucai too much support, because he directly decided to introduce these enterprises back then.
, once these companies withdraw, it will be him, Zhao Guozhu, who will suffer the greatest loss.
Zhao Guozhu's wishful thinking was indeed good, and Zhou Binghua was also very satisfied with Zhao Guozhu's statement.
Later, other people also expressed their support for Zhou Binghua's opinion. After all, everyone present is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Hengshan County, and they can still stick to their position on issues of principle.
At this moment, Liu Haotian suddenly smiled and said: "Secretary Zhou, fellow leaders, I believe that you can still smell the pungent ammonia smell in the air when you stay in our conference room. You know, our county party committee
The fertilizer plant is three or four kilometers away. You can smell it from such a distance, so everyone should be well aware of what the residential areas near the fertilizer plant are like.
I think it is better to choose a day than to hit it. Since all the leaders have time today, why not continue to delay your time for another hour? With the Environmental Protection Bureau taking the lead, all the leaders are stepping in. Let's go to the Hengshan County Fertilizer Factory to actually see it.
Look, what is the pollution situation at the fertilizer plant? Of course, in order to ensure that the information we went to for on-site investigation will not be leaked, please hand over your mobile phones. Everyone will supervise each other. Before officially arriving at the fertilizer plant, please
Do not communicate with outsiders for any reason.
Of course, if any leader is afraid of the powerful power of the Tianxing Group and thinks that they may delay your personal future, if you want to say hello to the Tianxing Group and reveal our whereabouts this time, you can also stay. As long as we all know
It doesn’t matter who you are.
Secretary Zhou, what do you think of my suggestion?"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, many people began to curse in their hearts. Liu Haotian's move was too damaging, because there were people at the scene who really wanted to say hello to Tianxing Group, but after Liu Haotian said this, no one dared to expose themselves easily.
Well, even if everyone knows each other's details, it's one thing to know it secretly, and it's another thing to expose it in front of everyone.
Zhou Binghua secretly gave Liu Haotian a thumbs up. Wang Jucai and Liu Haotian were simply a troublesome duo, especially Liu Haotian. This kid was simply the king of trouble.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Binghua immediately said with a serious face: "Comrade Liu Haotian, I have to tell you with practical actions that in our Hengshan County, no one is a coward. All the leaders of our Hengshan County Party Committee want to do things for the people."
Damn it. Now, I will take the lead and hand over the phone to Liu Haotian for safekeeping."
After saying that, Zhou Binghua took out his mobile phone and put it on his desktop.
When the others heard what Zhou Binghua said, they secretly cursed in their hearts. It was obvious that Zhou Binghua was cooperating with Liu Haotian.
But the problem is, Zhou Binghua has already said that there are no cowards in Hengshan County, so whoever refuses to say so at this time is obviously a coward and cannot afford to lose face.
Zhao Guozhu had to put his mobile phone on the table for his own sake.
Everyone saw that the first and second leaders had handed over their mobile phones, and they also put their mobile phones on the table.
Liu Haotian was so thick-skinned that he simply put all the mobile phones into a plastic bag regardless of whether these people were willing or not.
Afterwards, Liu Haotian stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Secretary Zhou, County Magistrate Zhao, everyone can leave with us now.
I believe that all county party committee leaders hate the smell emitted by fertilizer plants every day, but they have never really understood it. Today we will follow Wang Jucai, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, to take a look at it on the spot."
As they talked, everyone walked downstairs. After arriving at the driver's room on the first floor, the director of the county party committee arranged for a bus driver to prepare to leave.
After everyone got on the bus, Liu Haotian put away the driver's mobile phone and let him personally direct the car. He did not drive towards the fertilizer factory at first, but made a big circle and then drove directly to the fertilizer factory.
As we got closer to the fertilizer plant, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger, and many people closed their car windows.
But at this moment, Liu Haotian said with a serious face: "Dear leaders, please open your car windows to the maximum position, and please feel what kind of conditions the people nearby live in.
As the leader of the county party committee, I think all leaders should have an in-depth experience of the people's sentiments."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Zhou Binghua didn't say anything and directly opened his car window to the maximum, and the others had no choice but to open the car windows.
Suddenly, a pungent smell poured into the car, causing many people to choke and cough.
However, Liu Haotian did not lead everyone directly into the fertilizer plant. Instead, he asked Wang Jucai to lead them directly to the sewage outlet of the fertilizer plant. He led them along a dirt road more than 200 meters away and finally arrived at the sewage outlet of the fertilizer plant.
This sewage outlet is located more than 300 meters outside the fertilizer plant. There is a pipe with a diameter of about one meter that directly leads to the Hengsha River outside the fertilizer plant.
Wang Jucai pointed at the black sewage with a pungent smell that was constantly pouring out of the thick cement pipe, and said in a deep voice: "Leaders, please take a look at this sewage outlet. It is only the sewage discharged by the fertilizer plant."
The smell is enough to make everyone cough non-stop. Let's take a closer look at the crop fields on both sides of the river. I have learned from the local villagers that the crop fields nearby were originally high-quality farmland, but since
After the fertilizer plant was built, and with the discharge of sewage, the nearby villagers have completely given up planting crops on this land in recent years, because even if they planted crops, there was almost no harvest. It cannot be said that not even a blade of grass grows.
Leaders, please open your eyes and take a closer look. This is the state of the environment under your governance. This is the state of environmental protection under your governance. Can you imagine the sad feeling in the hearts of these land owners and farmers?
?
Can you imagine their complicated and sad mood when they are faced with no harvest?"
Everyone at the scene was shocked by Wang Jucai's bold and aggressive words. No one expected that when Wang Jucai spoke, his words were even more sharp than Liu Haotian.
What he just said was full of strong dissatisfaction with the county committee standing committee members present and full of strong doubts about their environmental governance.
At this time, Wang Jucai continued: "Dear leaders, within one kilometer from here, this situation is almost everywhere on both sides of the river bank. The people nearby complained, but the fertilizer plant turned a blind eye. The people also went to negotiate with the fertilizer plant, hoping that they would compensate.
I asked for some money, but the fertilizer factory had a tough attitude and refused to take any money.
Dear leaders, I don’t know if you have heard of the situation here before, but what I want to say is that just in terms of sewage discharge, the Hengshan County Fertilizer Factory has brought no harvest to the people of Hengshan County.
The pain is not the worst.
The most serious problem is in the downstream areas. Because the people in Hengshan County are accustomed to drinking water from their own wells, and what is very serious is that because the sewage discharged by the fertilizer plant lasts too long, many polluting elements have penetrated deeply.
It has penetrated deeply into the ground. The rate of cancer among villagers along the Hengsha River is eight times higher than that of villagers in other areas. The nearest village is called Daguo Village. This village has a total of more than 2,000 people.
There are as many as 100 villagers suffering from various types of cancer, including children as young as two or three years old.
Leaders, I don’t know if you will feel heartbroken when you hear such news, or if your conscience will be condemned.
But what I want to say is that after I learned this information through research, I couldn’t sleep all night long. I think that as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, if I can’t control the pollution in one place, then I’m sorry for this.
The people of Hengshan County are even more sorry for the word "party member" and I am sorry for my conscience and conscience."
When Wang Jucai said this, Zhou Binghua slapped himself hard in the mouth, and everyone was stunned.
At this moment, Zhou Binghua gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Jucai, what you said is very good. As the county party secretary of Hengshan County, I have failed to control the pollution problem here in the three years since I took office. I bear the main responsibility.
But I make a vow here: within half a year, if the pollution in Hengshan County cannot be controlled properly, I, Zhou Binghua, will voluntarily resign from the position of Secretary of the County Party Committee!"
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Seeing the distinctive five-fingerprints on Zhou Binghua's face and the look of remorse and shame on Zhou Binghua's face, many people's hearts were deeply touched.
