In Nantai County, a backward and impoverished area, the most envied and envied professions are not corporate white-collar workers or private enterprise bosses, but government servants holding an iron rice bowl. Anyone with some ability will try their best to get into the government.
, If you work as a clerk in a county bureau, you will be able to look down on your neighbors. If you become a section chief or something like that, you will be superior to others...

The county magistrate is even more out of reach. The common people in the countryside are afraid to speak in front of the township magistrate and town magistrate. If three students and children had not died this time, the villagers' long-term grievance and anger would have arrived.
At the critical point, these honest people will not block the gate of the county government with coffins.
Liang Dazhong was also desperate this time. He studied in high school and served in the army. He usually likes to watch the news network and read the Jiangbei Evening News. He knows the consequences of doing so. There are many petitions in Nantai County, and the public security department is not forceful every time.
Intervention, the person who took the lead was either sent to a mental hospital or sentenced to three to five years, but he was mentally prepared, even if he risked his life, he would seek an explanation for the innocent doll.
Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Zhou appeared, and without saying anything, he knelt down in front of the children! That was the county magistrate! The supreme magistrate of a county in the 1995 period actually bent his knees and gave three
The student doll from Zhuwangzhuang Township knelt down!
County Magistrate Zhou was dressed very simply. He was still wearing a white shirt, jacket, and rolled up trousers. His leather shoes were covered with mud. At first glance, it was obvious that he had just returned from an inspection in the countryside. He knelt on his knees and held three sticks in his hand.
Xiang, with a very serious expression, said in front of the portraits of the dolls: "Children, I'm sorry for you."
Liang Dazhong felt his nose was sore and tears came out of his eyes. The parents of the students who died started to cry bitterly. However, the atmosphere was completely different from just now. Just now, there were angry and solemn cries, but now it is purely sad crying.
Several respected elderly people in the village rushed to help Zhou Wen: "County Chief Zhou, this is impossible."
Zhou Wen stood up, held the old man's hand and said, "Old man, I can't do my job well! I'm sorry for the children, I'm sorry for the folks."
The old people were in tears, choked and speechless. In fact, they were carrying coffins to block the government door. They were just indignant. They just wanted to ask for an explanation and give an explanation to the children. The county magistrate personally
The reception was already beyond their expectations, and Zhou Wen actually knelt down before the spirit tablet as the honor of the county. For a moment, all the grievances seemed to be released.
The wind whimpered, as if someone was crying, white flags were fluttering at the door of the county government, and paper money was flying everywhere. But the public security officers breathed a sigh of relief. They understood that the most dangerous moment was over. County Magistrate Zhou knelt down and retreated from thousands of troops. These troubles
The people's energy has dissipated.
On the third floor of the county government office, Deputy County Magistrate Zhu held a tea cup and said disdainfully: "He does know how to put on a show." The other deputies could no longer see Zhou Wen's joke, found it boring, and dispersed.
…
A crisis was easily resolved by Zhou Wen. Even the most irritated people thought that there was no reason to continue the trouble. What do cadres value most? Face, the magistrate of the county has knelt down for you. What else are you thinking about? It's hard to die.
The student's parents were originally overwhelmed with anger and sadness, but now they are sober. Carrying coffins to cause trouble was always a taboo. The county leaders not only refused to pursue the case, but also gave us enough face. They were also afraid that the matter would not be resolved and the family would suffer.
Since there was no compensation, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Zhou Sheng's body was sent to the county funeral home for safekeeping. The victim arranged to stay temporarily in the county guest house, and all the food and accommodation expenses were reimbursed. Then he personally came to the guest house to express condolences to the parents of the deceased students and assured them that those responsible would be severely punished and in accordance with relevant regulations.
Provide pensions and compensation.
The parents shed tears and said nothing, the men lowered their heads and smoked, and the women smoked and chatted. The common people who had never seen the world could not speak in front of the county magistrate, and they did not dare to speak. It was Liang Dazhong who stood up and said: "County Magistrate Zhou, you
We feel relieved when we come forward. We are not trying to cause trouble, but we just want the county to pay attention to the safety of the school and never let the tragedy happen again."
The villagers all nodded, secretly praising Village Chief Liang for being able to speak. Zhou Wen also nodded heavily and said, "The lesson is profound, and the county leaders are very sad. I will arrange personnel to implement this matter immediately after I return, and let the township government give way first."
Several offices came to provide temporary classes for students, and special funds were immediately put in place to rebuild the school and never let the tragedy happen again. In addition, Huang Jinsong had been dismissed from his post by the county on the spot and transferred to the judicial authorities. As for the pensions of the deceased students...
"
At this point, Zhou Wen pondered for a moment, quickly calculated in his mind, and then said: "The county has initially decided to pay 100,000 yuan per person."
Everyone looked at each other and felt greatly comforted in their hearts. County Magistrate Zhou was very powerful in doing things, and he took off the title of Township Magistrate Huang so quickly. People say that officials protect each other, but County Magistrate Zhou is not that kind of person.
A pension of RMB 100,000 is something that no one dares to think about. From birth to raising a baby, it does not cost as much as RMB 100,000.
"County Magistrate Zhou, the sky is blue!" An old man in his seventies suddenly knelt down trembling slightly with tears streaming down his face. The others also wanted to kneel down. Zhou Wen hurriedly helped him, and the county cadres also hurriedly helped everyone up.
"It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early. I will keep an eye on this matter personally, so you can rest assured." Zhou Wen comforted him with kind words and left. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and rushed to Liang.
The crowd said: "Are you the village chief Liang from Xiamapo?"
"It's me." Liang Dazhong was moved in his heart and quickly followed him out. In a corner of the corridor, County Magistrate Zhou and Village Magistrate Liang had a heartfelt conversation.
"Lao Liang, you are a party member and a village cadre, so you must play a good leading role." Zhou Wen said.
It was the first time for Liang Dazhong to talk to such a high-level official. Although it was in private, his heart was still beating wildly. He replied incoherently: "County Magistrate Zhou, I...I...you punish me, I didn't stop you.
Everyone, you have also taken a bad lead."
Zhou Wen waved his hand and said: "I'm not saying that this time, the child is the heart and soul of the parents, and it is suddenly gone. No one can accept it. The people have no way to complain, and it is understandable that they have taken drastic measures. What I am talking about is the land acquisition."
Regarding the matter, your Xiamapo Village will bear the brunt of the county’s land acquisition this time. As a village cadre, you must cooperate with the county’s work.”
Liang Dazhong felt a little calmer and stopped stammering. He replied: "County Chief Zhou, I heard from Township Chief Huang that the compensation is only two thousand yuan per mu. We are farmers. How can we live without our land? Two thousand yuan."
A thousand dollars really can’t support a person’s life.”
Zhou Wen said: "Two thousand yuan per mu is a bit low, but you have to realize that Xiamapo Village is located in a remote location, and the land is full of saline-alkali land and barren beaches. Even if the weather is good, how much output value can it produce every year? I have done a survey,
The annual output value of each mu of land does not exceed 500 yuan. The price of digging wells, buying fertilizers, and greenhouse films is rising steadily. Without subsidies from the county and township, can you afford it?"
Liang Dazhong was speechless, speechless, and scratched the back of his head subconsciously. County Magistrate Zhou was telling the truth. The saline-alkali land is too barren, with no water source and no fertilizer. No matter what you plant, the yield will be very low, and even if you grow it, you may not be able to sell it.
You have to go out, you have to work hard to get to the city, and you have to be bullied by the traffic police and businessmen. All year round, you only get 500 to 600 yuan per acre of land.
Zhou Wen continued: "You are a sensible person. I might as well give you the bottom line. The two thousand yuan per acre was obtained through arduous negotiations. If there are no sycamore trees, the golden phoenix cannot be attracted. Why does the Xuanwu Group come so quickly?"
Our investment in Nantai County is nothing more than fancying our cheap land resources. In the future, when the industrial park is built and the county’s economy is boosted, we will no longer be farmers, but workers, white-collar workers, and entrepreneurs, and every household will be able to live in high-end areas.
Western-style buildings, affordable cars, at that time, all primary and secondary schools in our county were replaced with reinforced concrete teaching buildings, so that tragedies like today would never happen again. Do you think this prospect is not worth looking forward to?"
"County Magistrate Zhou, I know, but..."
"There is nothing but, there is no difficulty in the eyes of the Communist Party members. Comrade Liang Dazhong, you are the head of a village. You must correctly lead the people of the village to look forward, instead of being short-sighted and focusing on the small gains in front of you. You should take a broad view of the future.
Are you right?"
Liang Zhongzhong was in a state of confusion. Magistrate Zhou's honest and unfair words made him feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. When he felt confused, he wanted to smoke, but when he touched his pocket, there was no smoke or fire.
County Magistrate Zhou took out the cigarette case, shook it, and stretched it out in front of Liang Dazhong. It was a good cigarette worth twenty yuan a box. Liang Dazhong hesitated for a moment, but took it. Zhou Wen took out a lighter and wanted to help him light the cigarette. He was frightened.
Liang Zhongzhong rushed to grab it: "I don't dare, there is no reason for the county chief to light cigarettes for the village chief."
"It's okay." Zhou Wen insisted on helping Liang Dazhong light the cigarette, and gave him half a pack of cigarettes. He said casually: "After Huang Jinsong goes down, the selection of the mayor of Zhuwangzhuang Township will be a problem. What do some leaders in the county mean?
They are transferring people from other towns. I think it is better to promote responsible cadres from the local grassroots to serve as township heads. If Village Chief Liang has suitable candidates, he can promote them."
Then he took out a business card and said: "Here is my phone number. If you have any questions about land acquisition that you don't understand, you can call me directly. It's getting late and there is still a meeting in the county. I'll leave first."
.”
"County Magistrate Zhou, I'll see you off."
"No, you can go back and take care of them. Remember to call me directly if you have any questions."
Zhou Wen walked far away, but Liang Dazhong was still waving his hands behind him. At this moment, he had strong feelings in his heart and mixed feelings, feeling that his life path had reached a critical moment of decision.
