When he arrived at the train station, Zhao Wen parked the car and saw from a distance that many people were gathered around the waiting room, and there were several police officers maintaining order.
The sun was still bright when I went to work in the morning, but now there was no trace of sunshine. The wind near the train station was so strong that the clothes of pedestrians were flying randomly.
Zhao Wen saw Zhang Hui's figure and walked over. When he was close to Zhang Hui, his phone vibrated again. When he saw it, it was Zhen Ni calling.
Recently, Zhen Ni knew that Zhao Wen was very busy, and there were very few opportunities for the two of them to meet. In addition to calling several times a day, she mostly sent Zhao Wen some text messages.
Zhao Wen hung up the phone directly, and the phone automatically formed a text message "I am very busy, I will contact you later" and sent it.
Nodding towards Zhang Hui, Zhao Wen came to Jia Qian's side. At the same time, he saw the deputy secretary of the county party committee, secretary of the political and legal committee, and public security director Liang Yongqing also present.
Zhao Wen called secretary, and Jia Qian frowned and said, "Why hasn't Wu Mantian arrived yet?"
I don't know if Jia Qian's words were a response to Zhao Wen's question. Zhang Hui replied: "I have been notified and should be here soon."
When Zhao Wen saw that Jia Qian was ignoring him, he looked towards the field.
Confronting Jia Qian and others were a dozen farmers who could be recognized at a glance. They all had a trace of annoyance and resentment on their faces. They all squatted there like captured criminals. One of them saw
When they arrived, Zhao Wen said: "Secretary Zhao is here! Secretary Zhao, you have to make the decision for us, otherwise, we will go to the capital. Anyway, everyone will not be able to get through. We will go there to complain to the head of the central government!"
"That's right, at worst, we'll end up together!"
When Zhao Wen saw that some of these people knew him, he glanced at Jia Qian from the corner of his eyes, and then said with a smile: "What are you doing? It's freezing cold here. Let's find a place to talk if we have anything to do. Here
It’s weirdly cold.”
A young man in the crowd shouted: "Where are we going to say it? I told you officials earlier, but you didn't listen. Now you have to listen to us. We are too lazy to say it. We have to say it. Go to the capital and say it!"
Zhao Wen laughed when he heard this: "I'm still angry. Could it be that I ate mutton in the morning? If there is something that cannot be solved, I have to run so far... Look, this is Secretary Jia of our county party committee. No matter what the problem is,
.Everyone can respond. Secretary Jia will make the decision for everyone."
Just as he was talking, Wu Mantian rushed over. Zhao Wen took a step back and gave up his position to Wu Mantian.
Wu Mantian was out of breath from running. There was a little sweat on his face. He greeted Jia Qian, and Jia Qian said seriously: "Secretary Mantian, these people are from your Wenshui Township. Today, you will be responsible for this matter.
in the end!"
Jia Qian said, glanced at Zhao Wen, and then said to Liang Yongqing: "Director Liang, I'm leaving first. You and your comrades will resolve the matter...comrades from the Letters and Calls Bureau, please get involved and report back to me."
After Jia Qian finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Zhang Hui glanced at Zhao Wen as he left, and then followed him.
Now that Jia Qian has left, Wenshui's secretary has also arrived. Zhao Wen automatically leaned aside and watched how Wu Mantian solved the matter.
Zhao Wen felt that he was called by Jia Qian to assist in the work. He was no longer the leader of Wenshui Township. Even if something happened to Wenshui, it would not have much to do with him. Besides, Wu Mantian was now the leader of Wenshui Township.
If he rushes forward, he will be a bit overshadowed. At the same time, it will also make Wu Mantian feel grudge.
It is better to do less than to do more.
Wu Mantian frowned and shouted: "I said, folks, you can tell me anything you have to say. Why do you have to make such a big fuss? I think so, let's all go back and go to the township government and let's talk slowly.
OK?"
As soon as Wu Mantian finished speaking, the young man who just shouted to Zhao Wen said again: "If you solve the problem, why are we running here? We don't listen to you, let's get on the train!"
"Why do some people get money while others don't? Why are people divided into three, six or nine levels?"
The dozen or so squatting people stood up as soon as they heard this. Zhao Wen saw the young man glance at one of the old men.
The few policemen standing around had originally relaxed their vigilance, but now they saw that the situation was not right, and they all gathered their energy again to block the way into the platform.
Zhao Wen stood aside to watch how Wu Mantian handled the matter. At this time, the phone vibrated again. His heart moved, so he took the opportunity to walk aside and answered the phone.
It was obviously Zhen Ni's mobile phone number, but what came out of it was the voice of a strange woman: "General Zhao, you are so busy, you are as busy as the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Why don't you even answer our eldest lady's calls?"
Zhao Wen thought to himself that this might be Luo Yiyi's voice, so he lowered his voice and said: "Hello, it's Luo Yiyi. I'm dealing with some things at Huayang Railway Station. The county party committee secretary is also here. It's hard to answer the phone... I have something to do.
you say."
Luo Yiyi chuckled as soon as he heard it: "Oh, it's okay, you can hear my voice, let you go."
"Director, I'm shopping with Zhen Ni right now. How about having lunch together? Let's show you some respect."
Zhao Wen whispered: "Okay, I think so too, but I'm not sure now. You guys eat first when the time comes, and I'll contact you."
Luo Yiyi giggled over there, with a voice like a bell: "Did you hear that? You are really busy... Okay, let's contact you later. Hey, this is my first date with you. If you
If I don’t come, I will lose my standing in front of my old friends... What can I say to you, the big director?... Well, bye."
Luo Yiyi's words were addressed to Zhen Ni and Zhao Wen respectively. Zhao Wen waited for the other party to hang up the phone and heard the people who wanted to petition shout: "Your township government treats the common people like slaves and divides people into three, six or nine grades.
This is feudal bureaucracy!"
"We have the right to petition. If we don't tell you, the secretary, we will go to the capital to sue you. The world of **..."
The scene that was just fine just now became a bit exciting, and I don't know what Wu Mantian said at this moment.
Liang Yongqing watched Zhao Wen finish the phone call and walked over: "Director Zhao, please go over and say a few words. Secretary Jia asked us to solve the problem. It's not an option to remain in a stalemate like this."
Liang Yongqing was in his forties, tall and thin, and looked very energetic. He looked at the sky and said, "It might start snowing. If it continues, the more people watching, the worse the impact will be."
Zhao Wen has learned in the past few days that Liang Yongqing seems to belong to a centrist faction in Huayang County, and is neither Jia Qian's group nor too close to Wu Yong.
Zhao Wen nodded and said, "Okay, I wonder what Director Liang has planned?"
Liang Yongqing looked at Zhao Wen and said: "We have prepared an Iveco. If everything goes well, we will bring these people back to Wenshui and let the people in Wenshui solve the problem themselves. If it doesn't work, we will send them to the Letters and Calls Bureau. I think they will
Director Zhao is quite convinced."
Zhao Wen thought for a while and agreed with Liang Yongqing's statement. These petitioners could not be dragged to the Public Security Bureau anyway. That would not help solve the problem and would only intensify the conflict.
Liang Yongqing looked at Zhao Wen standing still and knew that he had some thoughts, so he walked behind Wu Mantian and said a few words. Wu Mantian looked back at Zhao Wen and stood aside.
Zhao Wenxin said that Liang Yongqing really knew much more than Wu Mantian, so she walked over and said: "Hello everyone, I know everyone has thoughts in their hearts, but this is not the place to talk. Even if you arrive in the capital, you know where the head of the central government is.
Office? Are you sure you can find the department that handles the matter?"
"How much time will it take to go back and forth?"
"In the end, it's up to us, Huayang, to resolve the matter. It's all going round and round. Why bother?"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone has something to do at home. Folks, in my opinion, if we all go back, we will definitely be able to solve it if we all have any ideas or thoughts."
Zhao Wen walked up to an old man as he spoke, held his hand without any explanation and said: "I mean, uncle. Look, it's so cold and the capital is so far away. Why should we go far away when we can solve things nearby? What's the matter?
, let’s all help you solve it together, isn’t that enough?”
"Have you eaten in the morning? Let's find a place to eat and have a good chat?"
Many of the petitioners knew Zhao Wen. When Zhao Wen said this, many people showed some hesitation on their faces.
Zhao Wen looked at the young man who shouted the loudest just now and said: "You are in good health and young, but the old man can't withstand the bumps. I think it's better to find a place to eat first. We have something to talk about there. It's really not possible. What do you think?"
I can't solve it, then you can go wherever you want when you're full, and I won't care."
The old man who was being held by Zhao Wen coughed and didn't say anything. Zhao Wen held him with one hand and pushed the young man's back with the other, and walked down the platform with the two of them.
As soon as Liang Yongqing saw that Zhao Wen had worked in the past, he let the Iveco drive over early and opened the door.
When these people saw that the car parked in front of them was not a police car, and when they saw that Zhao Wenjiang, the old man and the young man, had already been put in the car, they all pushed and shoved them and followed them.
After getting in the car, Zhao Wen closed the door and the car started. Zhao Wen took his mobile phone and sent a text message to Wu Mantian: Return to Wenshui.
Iveco was very fast, and Zhao Wen learned that these people were all from Jijiazhuang, Wenshui Township. After chatting for a while, he figured out the whole story.
When Zhao Wen was in Wenshui, he applied for small loans for twenty-four villages in Wenshui, but that was just a loan agreement signed with a credit union. After the money was transferred from the city's credit union, it was directly transferred to Wenshui Township.
The Wenshui Township Government serves as the supervisor of the loan and monitors the use of the money.
The village committees of various natural villages in Wenshui select farmers in their respective villages to issue loans and apply for loan vouchers based on the principle of competition. Then the villagers who have issued the vouchers take this procedure to the township credit cooperative to receive funds.
Zhao Wen's original intention was to apply for a letter of credit for every village and household in Wenshui, but this wish was not realized later because the funds were not available. Moreover, after Wu Mantian's enlightenment, he felt that what Wu Mantian said made sense.
So we decided to solve it according to Wu Mantian’s advice.
Later, Zhao Wen left Wenshui. As for the specific operation of this loan, he did not know.
According to the loan limit of five million, at least half of the households in Wenshui should have the possibility of receiving a loan, but according to these people from Jijiazhuang, only one-tenth of the households in their village can issue loans, and who wants to
The loan must also be given as a gift to the village head and branch secretary, otherwise there will be no way.
Zhao Wen frowned when he heard this and asked: "This kind of thing only exists in Jijiazhuang, or does it also happen in other villages?"
The young man who yelled the loudest just now said: "Every village has it. It's really like Yan Guo plucking its feathers. It's only a loan of 5,000 yuan. How much money do you want us to give as a gift? It's so shameful!"
"It's just that no one talks about the other, it's none of their own business, so why bother with other people's concerns?"
"Secretary Zhao, once you leave, the policies you formulated have changed. All the money has been embezzled by these bastards. Some people in the village used this money to make loan sharks. In the end, we want to get rich.
No one has a penny."
"You said that when we responded to the problem, whoever complained was ignored. The village pushed it to the township, and the township pushed it back to the village. In the end, they became anxious and said they wanted us to go to the county to sue. Who should we sue? Aren't all the officials protecting each other? We
what to do?"
"That's right. If we don't petition, will we still have a way to survive?"
Seeing that they had arrived at Chali Village, Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Today, I invited everyone to eat at Chali Street, and everyone broke their stomachs to eat. Then the leaders of the township and I will solve everyone's problems."
Zhao Wen called Wu Kui with his mobile phone and asked him to arrange a place for thirty people to eat.
Wu Kui knew about Wu Mantian's visit to the county. Now he heard Zhao Wen's arrangements and knew that the petitioner had returned, so he asked Zhao Wen to take him to the Chali Hotel and wait for him there.
Chali Hotel is a hotel invested by Wu Kui. It is the largest hotel in Wenshui and is very grand. The group of petitioners saw that Zhao Wen’s arrangements were very thoughtful. They felt that they were valued and had a lot of face, so they entered and sat in the hotel.
Waiting for dinner inside.
Liang Yongqing followed Zhao Wen in his car. Seeing that it was okay, he said goodbye to Zhao Wen. He said that he had something to do when he went back. Zhao Wen, Wu Mantian and Wu Kui tried to persuade him to stay, but he declined.
After getting on the bus, Liang Yongqing turned back to Zhao Wen who was seeing him off and said, "Director Zhao. Let's get in touch when we get back to the county."
Zhao Wen felt that there was something in Liang Yongqing's words, so he nodded. He watched Liang Yongqing's police car disappear in a flash.
Although the petitioners have been sent back, work still needs to be done. However, Zhao Wen will not say more for now. He talked to several old acquaintances from the village who came over, watched Wu Mantian busy here and there, and promised everyone
This, promising that, I was very busy.
Wu Mantian had someone give each of the petitioners a box of five-dollar cigarettes, and then arranged for them to eat. At this time, he finally took a break, wiped his sweat and ran over to shake hands with Zhao Wen, sighing and saying: "Damn it.
, these people are really capable of causing trouble."
Zhao Wen, with the idea of not being in charge of his job, was chatting with Wu Mantian. After a while, Qin Guohui and others came over. Everyone was discussing how to deal with the matter. Zhao Wen listened quietly and did not speak.
Wu Mantian called the village party secretary and village chief of Jijiazhuang, then scolded Zhao Wen severely in front of him, threatening: "If this happens again, you all will go home and feed the pigs!
"
"If you make me uncomfortable, I will make it difficult for you!"
Zhao Wen saw that Wu Kui was always silent when looking at Wu Mantian's nagging. When he saw Wu Kui winking at him, he knew there was something going on. He took the opportunity to go out, and Wu Kui came over and said: "Those
Wu Mantian and others took part of the loan, and I don’t know what they did with it. I’ll ask again.”
Zhao Wen said nothing and said with a smile: "This Chali hotel is not bad."
Wu Kui suddenly laughed: "You have become a hands-off shopkeeper, and you have a stake in it."
Zhao Wen said nothing, smiled and returned to the hotel.
After a lot of nagging, the matter was finally done. Wu Mantian gave each petitioner a box of five-yuan cigarettes. By the time the people in Jijiazhuang calmed down and left, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Who is this wicked person? Why did he call Secretary Jia? Isn't he looking for trouble for Wenshui?"
Qin Guohui heard what Wu Mantian said: "Fortunately Director Zhao is here, otherwise we would be in trouble today."
Zhao Wen said: "I didn't do anything. I received a call from Secretary Jia. When I arrived at the train station, Public Security Bureau Chief Liang Yongqing and others were already standing in a large area."
Wu Mantian pulled Zhao Wen to have a drink: "I've been busy all afternoon and didn't even bother to eat. I'm going to have a few drinks with Director Zhao today."
Zhao Wen was about to refuse, but just then Zhen Ni called again. Zhao Wen told Wu Mantian that there was something going on in the county and he had to go back in a hurry.
Qin Guohui tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw that Zhao Wen insisted on leaving, Wu Mantian sent someone to drive Zhao Wen back to the county.
When getting on the bus, Wu Mantian took two Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes from Wu Kui's hotel and threw them in front of Zhao Wen's car seat. He laughed and asked Zhao Wen to support Wen Shui's work in the future. Zhao Wen thought about it and said
Didn't say anything.
Qin Guohui took advantage of no one's attention and stuffed a note into Zhao Wen's pocket. He didn't say anything. After a while, the car drove far away. Zhao Wen took out the notes and saw that they were catering invoices with a total face value.
Two thousand yuan.
Wenshui had paid for the meals for those people in Jijiazhuang just now. Zhao Wen estimated that Wu Mantian asked Qin Guohui to issue these invoices to him, but maybe it was Qin Guohui's own idea to return a favor to him today, which meant just now
This meal was paid for by the Letters and Calls Bureau, and Zhao Wenhao was asked to reimburse it.
The two cigarettes were given to Zhao Wen personally by Wu Mantian. Anyway, he was definitely reimbursed by the government and would not dig into his own pocket.
From morning to now, after wandering around for most of the day, Zhao Wen lost less than 3,000 yuan. He felt that this deal was still worthwhile.
Just now Zhen Ni called and asked Zhao Wen to go back to the city in the evening and tell him something. She also said coquettishly that Zhao Wen could go back later but must go back, so Zhao Wen agreed.
Zhao Wen was sent to the train station. He got into the car he parked here in the morning. After much thought, he didn't know whether he should go back to the station or go directly to the city.
At this time, the phone rang, but it was a text message from Jia Chunling, which read: Wife is the road, friends are the cows, there is only one road in life, and there will be many cows on the road. Don’t take the wrong path when you have money.
Don't sell cows when you have money.
