Kong Shao looked at Li Wei and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, you are the new Secretary Li Wei?"
Li Wei said sincerely: "I am Li Wei. I am determined to do something for the people of Jinsha, but I am not familiar with the place and I don't know where to start. I heard your name, so I came here to visit you today. Sir, are you willing to come out and help me?"
"
Kong Shao said: "Do something for the people of Jinsha? I want to know how determined Secretary Li is? Does he want to make a stable transition for three or four years, or does he want to fundamentally solve the environmental problems in Jinsha City?"
Li Wei said: "I always do things if I don't do them. If I do, I will do it to the end. If the environmental problems in Jinsha City are not solved, I will never leave Jinsha."
Kong Shao nodded and said: "Very good, you know that the root of environmental problems lies in the officialdom, and now the officialdom has formed a chain of interests from bottom to top. It can be said that one hair can affect the whole body. If you are so
To do so is actually to make an enemy of the officialdom of Jinsha, or even of Weiyang. You are very likely to lose your bright future, or even your life, for this. Are you ready to bear the worst outcome?"
Li Wei said solemnly: "As the saying goes: If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. If you serve as an official for one term, you can't do anything practical for the people. What's the point of being an official? It doesn't matter if you don't do it.
As for life, my life is very tough. There have been many people who wanted my life, but in the end they lost their lives first."
Kong Shao laughed loudly and said: "That's good. I, Kong Shao, have been waiting hard for five years, and finally it's worth it to have a good official like you who is dedicated to the people. Well, I will definitely try my best to help you solve the problems in Jinsha City."
"
Li Wei stretched out his two hands, and Kong Shao also stretched out his two hands, and the four hands were held together tightly.
From then on, Kong Shao followed Li Wei throughout his life, dedicated his life to advising Li Wei, achieved great achievements, and was praised by later historians as the first counselor in modern times.
Kong Shao pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed, took out five notebooks, handed it to Li Wei and said: "In the past five years, I have not been idle. I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Jinsha City and come into contact with all kinds of people from all three religions and nine streams.
Among them are the bosses of Jinsha gold mines, officials in the officialdom, and bosses of the underworld. I have finally clarified the interest structure of Jinsha City. I have recorded my experiences and analysis in these five notebooks. These are your official
You can’t see them in the literature. Today, I will hand them over to you. You must first familiarize yourself with the real situation in Jinsha City, and then we can talk.”
Li Wei took the five heavy notebooks and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
Kong Shao said: "Actually, it's me who should say thank you. It's you who gave me the opportunity to display my talents."
Li Wei smiled and said, "We don't need to be polite. I'm thinking about what position would be appropriate for you. I don't have a secretary yet. How about you be my secretary?"
Kong Shao shook his head and said, "A person like me is not suitable to be a secretary."
Li Wei said: "I asked you to be my secretary so that I can ask you for advice at any time. Don't worry, I will never let you do the job of serving tea and pouring water."
Kong Shao said: "I am not pedantic, and I am not afraid of serving tea and water to the leaders. It's just that I am also a very sensitive person in Jinsha City. If you use me as your secretary, I'm afraid it will arouse some people's anger."
Being vigilant is not good for what we want to do."
Li Wei nodded. Kong Shao's idea does make sense. If Li Wei uses someone like Kong Shao as his secretary as soon as he arrives in Jinsha City, it will definitely arouse the association of the gold mine bosses and the people behind them. It is not a good idea.
.
Li Wei said: "How about I arrange for you to go to the Municipal Party School or take a job as a sinecure in the county magistrate's office?"
Kong Shao said with a smile: "I'm still suitable to stay in the dark and observe. I think the profession of substitute teacher is good. There are only one or two classes a day. The school management is not strict and there is a lot of free time. Don't worry about it."
I've taken care of everything, just give me a call when you need me."
Li Wei took his notebook out of Kong Shao's rented place and called Meng Changjun, asking him to secretly protect Kong Shao. It was not easy to meet such a great talent. If he was harmed, the loss would be too great.
Li Wei returned to the hotel and said hello to the manager on duty, saying that he would not see any guests from now on. If anyone asked, he would say that he had gone out and not returned.
Li Wei returned to the room, closed the door, and opened the first notebook.
The title page of the notebook reads: Since gold was identified as currency, it has become the crystallization of people's desires, and all good and ugly things surround it.
Kong Shao's calligraphy is particularly beautiful and captures the essence of Er Wang's running script, which makes people feel comfortable when looking at it.
Li Wei turned over the title page, and in tens of thousands of words, he recorded in detail the mining scope, production scale, company size, and company bosses of eight large and small mining companies in Huangsha City. He also recorded in more detail their rarely seen
His known family history, his connections with the underworld, and the officials behind them.
There are eight mining companies engaged in gold mining in Jinsha City, three of which are relatively large.
The largest company is called Shengshi Mining Co., Ltd., and the owner of the company is named Sheng Shicai. Sheng Shicai is 53 years old, has a primary school education, and is originally from Luochuan, Qin Province.
He was one of the first gold diggers to come to Huangsha River.
Thirty years ago, 23-year-old Sheng Shicai borrowed 50,000 yuan from relatives and friends and came to Huangsha River alone to join hundreds of gold diggers.
At the beginning, he partnered with a friend he had just met at the time to mine in the mountains upstream of the Huangsha River. They dug three tunnels in a row but failed to find any mineral belt. The fourth tunnel, which was more than 300 meters deep, still failed.
Without finding the mine, the 50,000 yuan he returned had been spent long ago, and he borrowed 100,000 yuan at high interest rates.
Seeing that it was another "dry hole", five local friends gave up. He had no money and couldn't hire anyone, so he dug into the hole every day. In the end, he found nothing. In the end, he said he would stop digging and said nothing.
I dug, but after I went back, I thought, I have already dug so deep, it would be a pity to give up. Why should I dig another one or two meters and find the mine? The next day I dug again, and I dug like this for ten minutes.
After many days, there was still no trace of the mineral belt, and he despaired.
He thought, forget it, if he digs any more he will die in this place. In order to prevent him from coming in to dig again, he decided to use the remaining explosives to set off a shot at the entrance of the cave, beaconing it down, and completely destroying himself.
Thoughts.
Unexpectedly, when the cannon was released, the stone wall next to it collapsed by two or three meters, revealing a mineral belt more than two meters thick. Shengshi was shocked.
After the surprise, Sheng Shicai buried the exposed mineral belt with sand. He came to Guannan County and spent 3,000 yuan to bribe the director of a credit union and paid 30,000 yuan. He came to Huangshahe again with 30,000 yuan.
I found five friends who were partners and pretended to ask them to invest more money to continue digging deeper, saying, "Maybe we will find a mine if we dig another ten meters."
The five friends had each invested nearly ten thousand dollars into the mine. They did not believe that the mine could be dug there and said they would not dig any more.
Sheng Shicai insisted on digging, but one person said impatiently: "If you want to dig, dig it yourself. Anyway, we don't want to dig anymore."
Sheng Shicai said: "Then can you sell the mine to me? If I dig out a gold mine, you must not be jealous."
Hearing what Sheng Shicai said, the group of people became suspicious, whether this kid had been digging in the cave for the past few days, and had dug out the mine, and wanted to take it all for himself. They came to the mine together, looked carefully, and found that there was something inside.
The newly dug area was still full of rubble, with no signs of mining. I thought to myself, this guy is probably crazy about digging. This is obviously a waste cave, and he still has to pay for it.
Sheng Shicai negotiated a price of 20,000 yuan with them on the spot and signed an agreement. He also asked Huang Kui, the then village chief of Huangshahe, as a witness. The agreement agreed that no matter whether Sheng Shicai could dig out the mine in the future, this would
Dongzi has nothing to do with the five of them, and they are not allowed to come to make trouble in the future.
After signing the agreement, Sheng Shicai came to Guannan County again with the remaining 10,000 yuan, gave 8,000 yuan to the director of the credit union, borrowed 100,000 yuan from him, and through connections, bought three tons of
Explosives, rushed back to the Huangsha River overnight, hired more than 30 people from other villages, and started digging from the ore vein at the entrance of the cave. In just ten days, ten trucks of high-quality gold ore were mined and sold for more than one million.
After the news spread, the five local people who had previously partnered with him actually brought people to make trouble and offered to buy shares.
Sheng Shicai is a very thoughtful person. When he signed an agreement with this group of people before, the reason why he asked Huang Kui, the head of Huangshahe Village, to be the middleman was to prevent this situation from happening.
A few days ago, Sheng Shicai had already given Huang Kui 10,000 yuan and asked him to be fair if those people came to cause trouble.
At this time, Huang Kui came with the agreement. He said with a sullen face: "The agreement is clearly written in black and white. In the future, whether people can find the mine or not, it has nothing to do with you. You can't come to make trouble, man*
*Husband, how can you not count what you said? If you continue to cause trouble, you just won’t give me, the middleman, face."
Huang Kui is the dominant figure here, and with his presence, this group of people will naturally not dare to cause trouble again.
From then on, Sheng Shicai would give Huang Kui 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every now and then, which was regarded as protection money.
Sheng Shicai realized that this Huang Kui was not a good person either, and sooner or later he would make more excessive demands.
After he got money, he wanted to find a bigger protective umbrella in the officialdom. One day, he saw an advertisement on a telephone pole in Guannan County. It was that someone wanted to sell the family building of the County Public Security Bureau because of a job transfer.
Sheng Shicai thought this was a huge opportunity, so he bought the house without even negotiating the price. He treated the seller to a meal and hoped that he would introduce some neighbors to him.
Playing mahjong also has a companion. This man felt that Sheng Shicai was sincere and generous, so he introduced two of his friends in the Public Security Bureau to Sheng Shicai. One of these two people was the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Team, named Wang Zhiqiang, and the other was a public security officer.
The chief of the department, named Luo Jichun, is a powerful figure.
