The off-road vehicle drove for more than 10 minutes before seeing a house on the roadside.
"Have you been living in two mud houses for so many years?"
"Yes, it turned out that the contract was in a barren mountain, and there were no homes around for a long time. Dad didn't know how much hardship he had to endure. Sometimes he could only eat one meal a day, and he just made do with it. Dad was in very good health. After contracting the barren mountain
, I am getting old very fast and my body is failing. I still have brothers and sisters in my hometown. My mother can’t come here. I have to rely on myself to make a living. When I first came here, I couldn’t stand it. It was too hard. I brought rice and noodles from my hometown. I had no money.
ah."
When the young man said this, his voice was a little trembling, probably because he thought of those hard days and the current situation. Fortunately, after so many years of hard work, in the end it was all in vain, which no one could imagine.
"Why hasn't the contracting certificate been obtained?"
"We were introduced by relatives. Barren hills are cheap and don't require much contracting fees. When we first started to apply for the certificate, everyone in the countryside and villages supported it. At that time, my father ran up and down alone, and I don't know how many smiles he lost.
I was excited, thinking about investing here, earning money to support my family, and working so hard. When the trees on the mountain grew, the people in the village were jealous and were ready to take them back. At that time, I was not old, and several brothers in the family were
I came over and discussed matters with the village, so I went to the village leader with an ax in hand. Although the village softened, the trouble still remained. When it came time to replace the contracting certificate, the village kept delaying it, and there was nothing we could do.
, the book was in someone else's hands, and the leaders of the township, who never came here, also came to see it, and even brought it with them from the police station, probably because they wanted to deal with me. Dad had no choice, so he went back to his hometown and borrowed some money and asked the leaders of the township and village.
People stopped coming for meals, cigarettes and wine, but the general manager of the contracting certificate could not handle it. I originally thought that after the forest trees became useful, they would be sold. Even if they were sold at a low price, there would always be some money. Unexpectedly, Fuyuan
The coal mines need wood, so people from the countryside come to cut the wood."
"It seems that you had a conflict with the people who came."
"I couldn't be more angry. They said that the ownership of the wood did not belong to us, but belonged to the village. It was natural for them to cut down the trees. They did not ask us at all, and we were not allowed to speak."
"Do you know who's here?"
"Two of them are from the forestry station in the village. I've seen them before, but I don't know the rest."
Yuan Zili stopped talking, leaned on the seat, closed his eyes and thought about the problem. The young man probably had never ridden in such a good car. He kept straightening his back for fear of soiling the seat. Lao Ma saw it in the reflector, the young man
If you have injuries on your body, it will definitely be uncomfortable to sit like this.
"Young man, please take a rest. Sitting like this is too tiring and the road is not good."
The young man leaned carefully on the leather cushion and still did not dare to move. The air conditioner was turned on in the car, which was very comfortable. The night in the mountain village was quite cool, but the road was not good and there was a lot of dust.
More than an hour later, the off-road vehicle entered the market town of Hualin Township. The market town of Hualin Township was very quiet at night. A road passed through the market town. There were many houses on both sides of the road. The light in the houses came out through the windows and doors.
It looked like a quiet place. The township government was at the end of the market town. It was already late at night. The gate of the township government was closed and off-road vehicles could not get in. Yuan Zili thought for a while and asked the young man sitting in the back to go.
Calling the door. The young man hesitated and prepared to get out of the car. After a while, Yuan Zili saw that the young man still did not get off the car.
"What's wrong, are you scared?"
"No, no, I can't open the door."
After the young man got off the bus, Yuan Zili didn't know what it was like. These are the farmers at the grassroots level in China. Although some farmers have become rich, the vast majority of farmers still only maintain food and clothing. They have never been on a good car in their lives.
After entering the song and dance hall, I never knew what Western food was, and I never saw a toilet. But they are the ones who stand up the backbone of China. They work hard and don't complain. As long as they have food to eat, they are satisfied.
Yuan Zili saw the young man slowly walking towards the big iron gate. It seemed that he was still a little afraid. Although the young man was very harsh when he was at home, he had suffered a loss after all. In the eyes of the farmers, he had a certain attitude towards the government.
Natural respect, no one would think of going to the government to find trouble unless it was absolutely necessary. Yuan Zili saw the young man entering the small iron gate. The old man did not turn on the headlights. There was a light bulb above the iron gate, which gave off enough light.
For a long time, Yuan Zili still didn't see the young man coming out, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Lao Ma, turn on the lights and honk the horn."
Soon, a thin man with a long face walked out of the small iron gate, carefully looked at the license plate of the off-road vehicle, and slowly walked next to the off-road vehicle.
"Haha, he's from Huaiyang City. Is he the boss who's here to haul coal? He wants to see our Secretary Hua."
Lao Ma pressed down the window of the car, looked at the man and nodded, took out a cigarette from his body, and handed over a cigarette. The man looked at the cigarette carefully, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"Tsk tsk, the coal boss is rich and smokes good cigarettes. I don't know how much money you brought today. Secretary Hua is playing. Do you know the place?"
Lao Ma shook his head and said he didn't know.
"I'll point you to the place. I'll open the door for you later. Don't honk the horn when entering the yard. Just park the car in the yard. Someone just came in to cause trouble and has been controlled."
Yuan Zili's eyes narrowed, and while the man opened the door, Yuan Zili told Lao Ma a few words. After the off-road vehicle stopped in the township government yard, Lao Ma got out of the car, handed over a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and spoke again.
"We are outsiders and don't understand the rules here. Brother, we need to give you more guidance."
"It's easy to talk about. This may be your first time here, playing with Secretary Hua. As long as Secretary Hua is satisfied, it's not a small matter for you to haul coal. Everyone does it. Hehe, worship the mountain."
"Brother, what happened to the young man just now? Don't ruin our luck."
"It has nothing to do with you. You are a big boss, but you are just a tree planter. You are so brave when you go to the township government to make trouble without reason. You don't even think about it or see what kind of place this is."
The man was in a good mood. He took Yuan Zili and Lao Ma to the dormitory area. When they arrived in front of the building, the man pointed to the lighted place on the third floor and said, that is Secretary Hua's dormitory. They are playing now. After going up, they will go directly to the dormitory.
Just go in. There are many guests in Secretary Hua’s dormitory, so be smart. Yuan Zili understands what the man means. When you get to Secretary Hua’s dormitory, no one will treat you as a guest. They are all here to beg Secretary Hua, so don’t be particular.
What is faceless?
The door was ajar, probably because outsiders could not easily get in inside the township government. Besides, Secretary Hua had so many guests that no one could bother to open the door, so they simply kept it ajar. Yuan Zili
After entering, I almost choked with tears. The air conditioner was on, but several people were smoking. Most people couldn't stand the pungent smell. Even Yuan Zili, a smoker, couldn't stand it.
The leader who sat with a shy belly was Secretary Hua. He had his back to the door and a cigarette in his mouth. Behind him, there were several onlookers sitting. Yuan Zili came in. He had no head.
He raised his hand and waved to Yuan Zili based on his feeling.
"Find a place to sit by yourself. There are stools in the room. Once this round is over, you can play."
Yuan Zili remained calm and observed the people playing cards with Secretary Hua. They had gold necklaces around their necks and gold rings on their hands. They looked like they were doing business. Lao Ma went into the back room and brought out two handfuls.
Chair, Yuan Zili sat down and quietly watched Secretary Hua playing cards with everyone. He wanted to see how mahjong was played. Nowadays, when asking for help or giving money to superiors, playing mahjong is the best way.
The trick is to let the leader and cards and tickets continue to enter the leader's pocket. If investigated, this is the leader's good luck, and the leader will understand.
Sure enough, Yuan Zili looked at 4 cards in succession, and they were all tied by Secretary Hua. In one game, the cards that Secretary Hua started with were simply outrageous. In the end, they ended up with a draw. There was no cash on the table, and they were all playing cards. Yuan Zili
Zili asked the person next to him in a low voice. A playing card represents 1,000 yuan. The person on the stage is dealt 20 playing cards. If one person in the middle loses all his playing cards, the round is over. Everyone settles their accounts, and then the playing cards are dealt again.
Start the second round.
Yuan Zili did the math and found that Secretary Hua and 4 sets of mahjong received a total of 25 playing cards, which is 25,000 yuan. The income from 4 sets of mahjong was higher than the annual salary income. Could it be said that every person who comes to Hualin Township to drag money?
Are all coal bosses so willing to give away money? Yuan Zili thinks it is unlikely. These bosses are probably not here to buy coal. Most of them want to contract small coal mines. There are a lot of strange things here.
Today's situation is developing too fast. Yuan Zili knows clearly that if the personal income of each party member and leading cadre is investigated, there may be something unclear. The world is like this. Everyone knows about gray income. Doing so will not only fail to promote justice.
, On the contrary, he will be criticized by thousands of people and become a victim. Everyone has a tacit understanding of their income. However, Yuan Zili will not let go of such blatant income regardless of any impact. He must be punished. Yuan Zili
Thinking of the old man planting trees, he worked hard for many years, but in the end, he got nothing. Compared with the two, the contrast was too great. Yuan Zili thought quickly about how to adopt a good way to do this. Yuan Zili's main
The purpose was not in the secretary of the township party committee. From the information revealed in this room, Yuan Zili felt that the Fuyuan Coal Mine must be abnormal, and there might be a bigger problem. Therefore, Yuan Zili could not go to war or alarm the Fuyuan Coal Mine.
Liu Zaiting has made all preparations in Fuyuan Coal Mine. Now, the main purpose of taking Lao Ma with him is to understand the situation of Fuyuan Coal Mine. But the matter in front of him cannot be ignored, not to mention the old man's wood and the old man's small things.
My son, I don’t know where he is being held. If he doesn’t help, something big may happen later.
Yuan Zili quickly thought about it. Such mahjong will not last too long. The amount is too big. No one will bring so much money. Besides, a certain amount of money is enough as tribute. Businessmen are smart. Try
They will continue to invest only after they get a sweet taste. The current situation is to deal with it, gather people to gamble, confiscate gambling funds, impose some security penalties, and then nothing happens. This is not Yuan Zili's purpose.
As expected by Yuan Zili, soon the two people on the table could no longer support themselves and were quickly defeated. At this moment, Secretary Hua raised his head and looked at Yuan Zili. Suddenly, Secretary Hua seemed to have remembered something and rubbed his head.
He looked at Yuan Zili carefully, and his face slowly turned pale.
Yuan Zili knew that Secretary Hua must have recognized him, and the plan was better to change. An economic work meeting was held at the beginning of the year, and all the township secretaries participated. It seems that Secretary Hua has a very good memory. Now that he has been recognized,
Then we can only deal with what we saw today.
"Secretary Hua, you are very lucky. How much did you win?"
"No, I didn't win much. There's nothing going on in the evening. Everyone is here, playing mahjong together for fun."
"Really? Why did I see you playing cards? No one else knows how to play cards."
"No, that's not the case."
"Secretary Hua, please introduce the other guests."
Yuan Zili knew the identities of everyone in the room. Two of them were deputy mayors, and the rest were entrepreneurs from other places who were planning to invest in and set up factories in Hualin Township. As for what kind of factories to set up, it goes without saying.
Apart from coal mines, there are no other enterprises in Hualin Township, and no businessman would be interested in other resources in Hualin Township.
Yuan Zili never revealed his identity, but the aura emanating from his body made everyone in the room feel dazed. Since Secretary Hua saw this person with such respect, this person's identity must not be simple. You know,
Secretary Hua saw the main leaders of the county and they were chatting and laughing, but now they are so nervous.
Lao Ma has been standing next to Yuan Zili. He has already observed the situation in the house. There are no sticks in the house. In other words, even if these people want to make trouble, Lao Ma can easily deal with them. Since he knew that Yuan Zili was going to Fuyuan
During the coal mine investigation, Lao Ma was extremely careful, for fear of making any mistakes. Although the chance of this was very small, he was afraid of anything but ten thousand. In today's situation, Lao Ma was not worried about the township cadres, but for these business owners, Lao Ma
Horses are still wary, as some entrepreneurs' fortune-making histories are full of blood.
"The way I see it, everyone in the house today should register and indicate their identity, how much money they have lost, and how much they have won. They should have an idea of how much money they have lost and how much they have won. Once the registration is complete, inform the police officers from the police station to come and arrest the gamblers.
It's their responsibility, Secretary Hua, who is going to make this call?"
