Next, Liang Jian didn't mention a word about the opening of the Lingyang Hydropower Station to release water. While Zhang Heng was uncertain, Lou Jiangyuan was also filled with doubts. But Lou Jiangyuan still chose to respect and support Liang Jian and endured it all the time.
Question. It wasn't until they arrived at the hotel room arranged by Zhang Heng and they were alone, that they asked: "Secretary Liang, what's going on with this water diversion project? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"
Pass?"
Liang Jian smiled and said, "I only found out about this today. Do you still remember Minister Hu Xiaoying who sent me to office with Minister Yan and others?"
Lou Jiangyuan nodded: "I remember."
"She told me." Liang Jian said.
Lou Jiangyuan frowned and asked, "Isn't she the Minister of Propaganda? Why does she know this?"
Liang Jian smiled and said: "Haha, you don't need to know this!"
"But she is not from Jiangzhong Province..." Lou Jiangyuan said this, and after a sudden pause, he exclaimed: "Is this water diversion project diverting water from the coast?"
Liang Jian smiled and said: "I don't know the details very well. But since she said it happened, it must happen. However, even if Zhang Heng is willing to help talk, Jingzhou is unlikely to be included in the scope of the water diversion project.
And even if this thing is completed, this water diversion project will not be accomplished in a day or two, it will take two years at least. This far water cannot quench the near thirst, and it will not be of much help to the current situation."
When Lou Jiangyuan heard this, he was shocked: "Then why did you ask Zhang Heng to help?"
Liang Jian smiled and said: "If he doesn't help, how can I get the province to tell Lingyang to open the gate and release the water?"
Lou Jiangyuan was stunned, but he was a smart person. As soon as his thoughts changed, he immediately figured out Liang Jian's logic. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Secretary Liang has made such a big circle!"
Liang Jian smiled modestly and said: "Compared with the cost of the water diversion project, opening the gates and releasing water in Lingyang requires almost zero investment. Not only is our Taihe City short of money, but Xiling Province also does not want money.
Too many! Otherwise, why would they not even cough up a dime about Lou Shan?"
When talking about Lou Shan's matter, Lou Jiangyuan's face turned ugly. He snorted and asked Liang Jian: "When will our plan start?"
"We will start when Mingde comes back. By the way, how is the situation in Lianghe Village?" Liang Jian asked.
Lou Jiangyuan replied: "I contacted them at noon. Most of the villagers who participated in the fight at that time have been controlled at the police station in the local town, and a small number were not in the village at that time so they were not taken back. It is said that the villagers from Lianghe Village and Zhaoqian Village
People are very excited about this unexpected situation, and the village cadres of the two villages are still staying at the town government and refuse to leave, clamoring for the town police station to release them."
After listening to this, Liang Jian said: "Let it sit for a day or two before letting Liu Tao come forward. I think it will be easier to talk about it by then."
"What about the villagers who are at the town police station?" Lou Jiangyuan asked: "There are about twenty of them. The town police station is not large, and food and housing are problems."
Liang Jian thought for a moment and said: "We can only let them suffer for a day or two. When Lianghe Village releases people, we will release them all immediately."
Lou Jiangyuan obviously thought more: "But these villagers are holding their breath because of the water shortage problem during this period. Now that we are doing this, I am worried that it will intensify the bigger problem."
Lou Jiangyuan's worries are shared by Liang Jian. But threatening the government with hostages is too egregious in nature. If the government gives in and compromises this time, more such things will happen in the future. The occurrence of a compromise means that
More compromises will happen. Liang Jian knows this very well, so even if he takes risks, he must nip such possibilities in the cradle.
However, Lou Jiangyuan's worries cannot be unprepared. From yesterday to now, he has been thinking that the reason why the issues between Lianghe Village and Zhaoqian Village cannot be reconciled is because Zhaoqian Village cannot come up with the 300,000.
If Zhao Qiancun can show it, this conflict may be resolved.
However, three hundred thousand is only a small number for a government, but it is not a small number for the Taihe government.
Liang Jian frowned and asked Lou Jiangyuan: "You know the current financial situation better than I do. Can we get 300,000 yuan?"
Lou Jiangyuan thought about it and replied: "If you insist on taking it out, you can take it out. It's just more debt. If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy! What, do you plan on us to pay for it?"
Liang Jian did not answer immediately. Lou Jiangyuan looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said: "If we are to pay the money, then there is no need to imprison those villagers. As long as the money is in place, let Lianghe Village release the people."
It won’t be a problem.”
Liang Jian shook his head: "Of course we can't provide the money, but we need to let the people in Lianghe Village see the money so that they won't go to extremes. Otherwise, the money won't be seen and people will be arrested instead, which is tantamount to
If you push them to the end of the road, as you said, something will definitely happen. So, we have to give them a little hope. However, things like kidnapping hostages and threatening the government must be resolutely stopped. Otherwise, we will be very passive in the future.
situation."
Lou Jiangyuan looked at Liang Jian with admiration and said with emotion: "I am several years older than you, but when it comes to doing things, you are more courageous and comprehensive than me. I am really ashamed!"
Liang Jian smiled and was about to say a few words of humility when Lou Jiangyuan's cell phone rang. Liang Jian had no choice but to take back what he said. Lou Jiangyuan took out his cell phone, looked at it, raised his head and said to Liang Jian: "It's Mingde's call.
Shall I turn on the speakerphone?"
Liang Jian nodded.
Lou Jiangyuan answered the phone, pressed the speakerphone, and said, "Mingde, how is the matter? Secretary Liang is also here. Please tell me."
When Mingde heard that Liang Jian was there, he seemed stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Hello, Secretary Liang."
"Okay. How is the situation over there now?" Liang Jian asked.
Talking about the situation, Mingde's voice was obviously filled with sadness, and he said: "The situation is not very optimistic. The villagers in Lianghe Village and Zhaoqian Village are quite excited now, and a lot of people have gathered outside the town police station. I am worried that something will happen."
.”
Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Although this situation was not unexpected, it reminded the two of them that they must get the three hundred thousand in place as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to cause a bigger outbreak.
problem.
Liang Jian pondered for a moment and then asked Mingde: "Is Comrade Liu Tao here?"
Mingde replied: "She is at the town government, spending time with the village cadres of Lianghe Village and Zhaoqian Village."
"Can I contact her?" Liang Jian asked again.
"able."
"Okay, then ask her to contact us immediately. At the police station, please work hard and control the situation," Liang Jian said.
Mingde hesitated and replied: "I will try my best!"
Liang Jian seemed to have suddenly become angry. He raised his voice and shouted: "I don't want to do my best, I want to do it!"
Lou Jiangyuan was startled, and Mingde on the other end of the phone was also startled. After a few seconds of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Okay, I will definitely control the situation."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian looked up and saw Lou Jiangyuan's questioning eyes. He smiled and said, "Mingde's character is too gentle. If you don't stimulate him, it will be difficult for him to make a decision at once."
After hearing this, Lou Jiangyuan sighed and said, "Mingde's character is indeed a little indecisive and less courageous." After saying that, he looked at Liang Jian and said, "I didn't expect that you would already be so determined just a few days after you arrived.
His character traits are mastered.”
Liang Jian smiled and said, "I already understood it before coming here."
When Lou Jiangyuan heard this, he laughed: "It seems that you have also gotten to know me?"
"Yes." Liang Jian admitted with a smile.
Lou Jiangyuan asked: "Then what kind of person do you think I am?"
Liang Jian looked at him and asked, "Do you want to hear it?"
"It doesn't hurt to listen. It can also improve my understanding of myself and promote my progress!" Lou Jiangyuan laughed.
"Okay, then I will tell you. If what I said is wrong, please bear with me." After Liang Jian finished speaking, he paused and said: "You are upright and awe-inspiring, but too upright, missing the word soft."
After speaking, Liang Jian looked at Lou Jiangyuan. Lou Jiangyuan waited for a few seconds before Liang Jian spoke again, and said in surprise: "No more?"
Liang Jian nodded.
When Lou Jiangyuan saw this, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's a compliment for me to be upright and awe-inspiring. I just want to have a clear conscience. But, as you said, it's easy to break when you are too strong, and I have indeed hit the wall many times in the past few years."
"In today's society, the most rare thing is to have a clear conscience. Comrade Jiang Yuan can do this, which is already very good." Liang Jian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Tao's call came.
Lou Jiangyuan turned on the speakerphone and said, "Secretary Liang and I are here. Please tell us about the situation."
Liu Tao first said hello to Liang Jian, and then began to report the situation: "Both villages refused to give in when it came to money. Now that we have arrested people, these two villages who were originally going to fight to death have become united in their hatred.
He strongly demanded that we release him. Oh, by the way, another village also got involved."
There was something wrong with Liu Tao's tone, with such sarcasm. Both Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan heard it. Lou Jiangyuan looked at Liang Jian apologetically. Liu Tao must have been under a lot of pressure there, so he was a little emotional. Moreover, this Liu Tao
Because of some talents, I have always been rather arrogant.
However, Liu Tao does have the ability to be arrogant. She came from a grassroots background, and she has come from the grassroots level step by step. The key is that she is a woman, and things are better now. But a few years ago, although the slogan of equality between men and women was always shouted, in fact,
In the promotion of leadership positions, except for some special positions, women have never had an advantage. This is why, in China for so many years, it has been rare for women to become high-ranking officials. There are even fewer grassroots ones. Now Liu Tao is in his forties.
If you are lucky, it is not impossible to move up two levels before retiring and join the provincial party committee. However, it is difficult for him to say these things while we are on the phone now. The officialdom is within the bureau.
