Liang Jian asked Wang Xueping: "Has the town called the village to notify me of my appointment?" Wang Xueping said: "I asked the Party and Government Office to notify me. Normally, when a new secretary takes office, a town-wide cadre meeting must be held. Since this time

If it’s not going to be held, then I’ll call to inform you first, so that everyone knows that the head has been changed.” Liang Jian glanced at Wang Xueping and said, “You are very attentive. Today, Mayor Li asked me if I wanted to hold a town-wide cadre meeting.

, I didn’t think of this level.”

Wang Xueping said: "That's all I have. Let me worry about the trivial matters in the future. You can just take care of the big things in the town!" Liang Jian smiled knowingly at her and entered the village headquarters.

There is a secretary's office, director's office, and a large office in the village, which are the offices of several village committee members. In the village secretary's office, Liang Jian saw that the table was not very clean and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts. Village Secretary

When Lao Xu handed Liang Jian a cigarette, Liang Jian said, "I don't smoke. The cigarette in the ashtray shows that Lao Xu is very addicted to smoking."

Lao Xu gave a wry smile: "I haven't been able to sleep well these days because of things happening in the village. Village leader Zhang Yong doesn't come to work, and he's worried about everything, which can really make people anxious. Smoking will naturally cause you to smoke.

Even worse, I was scolded by my wife when I got home."

Liang Jian said: "Smoking can reduce stress, but it should be controlled appropriately. It is really not good for the body." Lao Xu looked at Liang Jian and said: "Thank you, Secretary Liang, for your concern. Secretary Liang, you have already taken office, why not

Let’s hold a town-wide cadre meeting so that everyone can get to know you!”

Liang Jian said: "There is no rush for a meeting. When a meeting must be held, I will naturally gather everyone together. But now, Lao Xu, the matters in your village are my top priority." Xu Senlin nodded and said:

"Yes, if the issue of relocation of UHV lines is not resolved, it will be difficult for the village and the town. It will be a big stone weighing on our hearts."

Liang Jian and Xu Senlin talked for a few words and felt that the village secretary was quite simple. Liang Jian said: "Yes, we have to solve this problem first, and other things can be done slowly." Xu Senlin said:

"Our village is special. The villagers would rather listen to brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan than to me, the village secretary."

Wang Xueping said: "Old Xu, have you thought about the reasons for this?" Old Xu said: "Of course I have thought about it. Brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan are working on projects outside, and most people in our village work for them. Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan

They are their parents who provide food and clothing for them, taking them to work outside. Where is our village party branch? What has it given to the villagers in recent years? Nothing! The stone mines in our Chengshan Village were originally our resources.

But they couldn't protect it and it was developed by Qiu Jiulong's brother Qiu Xiaolong. The people are resentful towards our town government and our village party branch."

Wang Xueping said: "Yes, the people value benefits, and they will recognize whoever gives them benefits. Therefore, when the town wanted to forcibly promote the relocation work, I did not agree, because we did not fight for many benefits for the people.

, but because of the problem of the country’s ultra-high voltage construction, the interests of the common people were ignored.”

Lao Xu said: "I understand this too. But I am the secretary of the grassroots party branch. When it comes to the orders of the town party committee, my first thought is to implement them. This is the difference between me and the village chief Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong can be said to be the leader of the village.

Director, he is elected by the people. He must speak for the people first. He is more free and easy-going than me! My own home is in the village, and the UHV line passes through us, and my interests are also harmed. But I want to implement the town’s

The party committee’s order is that you can’t just think about yourself. Therefore, in the village, my recognition by the villagers is much worse than Zhang Yong.”

Liang Jian understood Lao Xu's difficulties and said: "Old Xu, I understand what you said. I know your difficulties, and I will try not to make it so difficult for you in my future work!"

After hearing Liang Jian's words, Lao Xu didn't understand at first. Then he looked at Liang Jian excitedly and said, "Secretary Liang..." Wang Xueping smiled at Lao Xu and said, "Our Secretary Liang's work ideas are different from those before.

Leadership is different.”

Lao Xu was very moved after hearing this. He stepped forward and held Liang Jian's hand and said: "Secretary Liang, I will take you to see the village director Comrade Zhang Yong. I think Zhang Yong will be willing to come back if you mean it."

Came to the village."

Liang Jian nodded.

In the hilly areas of the south, in addition to bamboo forests, shrubs are mulberry fields. Walking around on the paths surrounded by trees, Liang Jian felt a layer of sweat on his forehead, but he was in a happy mood. People are accustomed to living in nature.

In the middle of the city, not in the steel and concrete. Seeing Wang Xueping next to him, walking lightly and naturally agile, he felt that maybe she also liked the environment here, so she was willing to stay in the town, right?

Wang Xueping suddenly turned around and smiled at him. The smile was bright and clean, just like the sunshine in spring, and Liang Jian also smiled back at her.

In front of a house is a square mulberry field and a pond, and a clean cement floor in front of the house. Xu Senlin said: "This is the home of the village chief Zhang Yong." Wang Xueping said: "Then let's go in."

A middle-aged woman came out of the house and said that Zhang Yong was not at home. When Lao Xu asked, he found out that Zhang Yong had been at the victim's old man's home for the past two days. Xu Senlin led Liang Jian and the others to the victim's old man's home.

Go home.

Not only did I see Zhang Yong there, I also saw brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan. The victim's home was very simple, and the body was still parked in the lobby at the entrance. Some relatives and friends were wearing mourning and mourning and were crying. Liang Jian knew the rules of the countryside.

, after entering the door, he knelt down three times to the deceased.

People were very curious about who he was. But the people in the countryside still knew the rules and distributed candies and cigarettes to Liang Jian and Wang Xueping. When Liang Jian came out, he found Zhang Yong. After Lao Xu’s introduction, they all knew

He is the new town party committee secretary.

The newly appointed secretary of the town party committee came to see the victims. As soon as the news spread, a wave of people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Liang Jian and Wang Xueping in the center. The families of the victims were excited.

He got up and asked: "What is the town going to do?"

Liang Jian did not expect that he would be surrounded all of a sudden. Wang Xueping said: "Don't get excited, we are here to solve the problem." Some people said: "If you don't explain the problem clearly today, you will never leave.

here!"

Village secretary Xu Senlin always stood on Liang Jian's side, while village chief Zhang Yong always stood with Cheng Yong, the Chengquan brothers and the villagers. Liang Jian thought in his heart that this village chief may have good intentions, but his political quality is still

There is a problem. As a village director, you are right to represent the interests of the people, but if you stick with the people instead of standing with the town party committee and government at the same time, then what is the difference between you and an ordinary citizen? It is just an artificial increase in the number of people and

The opposition between the party committee and the government is not beneficial to solving the problem.

Liang Jian's eyes fell on Cheng Yong and Cheng Shen, these two people were the most influential people in the village. Liang Jian made up his mind, glanced at the people around him without fear, and then turned his attention to Cheng

Yonghe Chengquan then said: "Everyone, Commissioner Wang has just said that we are here because we want to solve the problem, so you don't need to surround us. Now, I want to talk to brothers Chengyong and Chengquan. Here are them

The two brothers have the final say, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to raise objections. Brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan were the absolute authorities here. No one in the villagers dared to deny their authority. At the same time, brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan also felt respected. They nodded and looked at the people around them.

People said: "Just do whatever you have to do first!"

The village chief Zhang Yong felt very shameless. After all, he was the village chief. Now, the newly appointed party secretary Liang Jian would rather find brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan than Zhang Yong! Zhang Yong stepped forward and said: "Liang Jian

Secretary, can I stay too?"

"No need, just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do." Liang Jian deliberately wanted to show off to Zhang Yong, the village chief, and said, "Brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan can represent the people better than you."

This sentence is very lethal. Liang Jian’s meaning is very clear. If you can’t do a good job of coordination between the party committee, the government and the people, and think about problems like ordinary people, then you can be completely replaced. This makes

Zhang Yong suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He was even more unwilling to do what he should do. After all, as the village director, what else could he do?

The villagers listened to Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan's words and gradually dispersed. Cheng Yong said, let's sit on the stone bench over there. He said to a woman in her forties, "Make us a pot of tea."

Come...after you make the tea, call my dad here and say that the new town party committee secretary is here."

Several people came under a large camphor tree, and the golden sunlight fell on the round stone bench like broken gold.

After a while, a pot of tea came. Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan were people who had been outside, and the Kung Fu tea that was popular outside was brought back to Murakami. Cheng Yong washed the cups with the first pass of tea, and then gave them to them

Tea was poured on everyone.

Liang Jian once heard someone say that anyone who loves tea can chat. Liang Jian took a sip and said: "This tea is good, sweet and smooth. Can I brew it a few times to make the taste stronger?"

?" Cheng Yong glanced at Liang Jian and said: "Secretary Liang seems to know tea. This is the souchong black tea I bought when I was doing engineering work in Fujian. I also want to try to grow some here in our hometown.

.”

Liang Jian asked: "It's hard to work outside, right?" Cheng Yong looked at Liang Jian again and replied: "Of course, although you can make money, it's hard work. If you can make money in your hometown, who would want to go outside?

Just messing around."

Liang Jian stopped talking. If he continued, he would inevitably get around to the issue of mining resources. Liang Jian did not want to touch this issue at the moment. He returned to the topic: "Chengyong, Chengquan, you two are very authoritative people in Murakami. So.

, it’s my first day at work today, and I just want to meet you and chat with you.”

Cheng Yong suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember, you are the young man beside Gao Chenghan, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, when he talked to us the day before yesterday, right?" Liang Jian nodded: "That's right.

I was there.”

Cheng Yong nodded: "So the city sent you down to be our secretary?" Liang Jian said: "This is also what I want to tell you today. Now, I will tell you what I want to say,

Let me talk first. If you have any questions later, you can ask me. The first thing is that the city has suspended Qiu Jiulong, the former secretary of the town party committee, and the next step of investigation is underway. At the same time, the city sent me to Xiangyangpo

As the secretary of the party committee of the town, one of the first tasks is to solve the matter in Chengshan Village. The second thing is that I went to kneel down to worship the deceased just now. For the compensation of the deceased, their family members can go to the town to collect it today.

Resurrection, fallen leaves returning to their roots, and being buried in peace are not only comforts for the living, but also respect for the dead, don’t you think? I would like to ask you two to say a word about this matter."

Cheng Yong and Cheng Quan looked at each other, and Cheng Yong said: "Secretary Liang, today you came to our village on your first day at work. We ordinary people have also seen it. The style of the town leaders is different from before. The city leaders

We have taken this matter seriously, and we have noticed it. Now, there are three questions that we must raise: first, we want to see the murderer severely punished, and people’s deaths must not be in vain; second, we want to see

RMB 500,000 is not enough for compensation to the family of the deceased; the third is the issue of the quarry, you didn’t mention it just now, what should we do about this matter?”

Liang Jian said: "The municipal party committee has made it clear that the forklift caused the death of villagers and will conduct an investigation from now on. The commander, Qiu Jiulong, secretary of the town party committee, has been removed from his position, and the driver of the forklift has also been arrested by the public security organ.

The next step will be investigation and handling, and I will also request the municipal party committee and city government to handle it as soon as possible. You can rest assured about this. The second question is the compensation for the family of the deceased. I can state here that on the basis of the 500,000 promised by the city,

Add another 100,000. Regarding the third quarry issue, to be honest, I haven’t fully grasped the situation yet. I must conduct in-depth investigation and understanding before I can come up with an opinion... Now, when I talk to you two brothers, I don’t want you to completely relocate.

I hope you can persuade the families of the victims to send them for cremation tomorrow, which is a kind of rest for the deceased..."

Chengquan said: "We will never cremate until the three issues we raised are resolved." Liang Jian said so much, but Chengquan didn't seem to listen at all, and returned to the starting point with one sentence. Mass work is so bad.

Do.

At this time, Liang Jian saw Cheng Laogen walking out of the back room. Wang Xueping quickly stood up, ran to Cheng Laogen, supported him with her hands: "Uncle Cheng, come and sit." Cheng Laogen saw Wang Xueping, her face

He showed a smile when he got up, and with Wang Xueping's help, he sat on the stone stool. Chengquan quickly poured him a cup of tea, and it seemed that he still respected Cheng Laogen.

Cheng Laogen glanced at Liang Jian: "Who is this young man? I look familiar." Wang Xueping said: "Uncle, this is the new town party committee secretary Liang Jian in our town. Today is his first day at work.

He came to the village before the meeting. You think he looks familiar because he was there in the Civic Square the day before yesterday, standing next to Secretary Gao."

Cheng Laogen patted his forehead and said, "I remember! He was there that day." Liang Jian felt that Cheng Laogen might be able to play an important role. He shouted cordially: "Uncle Cheng. Look, today
