Chapter 801: Political Achievements and Popular Support Soar!

Although the disaster has passed, the subsequent disaster relief work still needs to be pushed forward intensively.

At present, there is still one village where the villagers are displaced.

If not handled properly and in a timely manner, it is very easy to trigger various safety hazards.

Fortunately, the provincial and municipal authorities attach great importance to this disaster and have raised a sum of disaster relief funds through a combination of fiscal appropriations and charitable donations.

Tang Ye gave Guo Wenhai a strict order, demanding that the Finance Bureau must use this money where it is most needed.

Anyone who dares to misuse the disaster relief funds will not be tolerated.

……

Tang Ye arrived at the Government Compound of Hongyue Township.

Ji Shaoquan, accompanied by Township Head Xu Feng and other township cadres, waited at the entrance to welcome him, and then the group held a meeting in the conference room to sort out and deploy various post-disaster tasks.

"Secretary Ji, how is the progress of the villagers' resettlement work?"

Ji Shaoquan replied, "The resettlement work has been arranged properly. It's just that the village was destroyed by the flood, and it will take a lot of time to rebuild it; right now, the villagers' moods are all very depressed."

The village condensed the hard work of several generations, and now that it is gone just like that, the villagers surely find it hard to accept.

Tang Ye naturally understood Ji Shaoquan's predicament.

To resettle so many people, money is needed for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but the financial situation of Hongyue Township was already extremely tight.

"I have already called the Finance Bureau; a sum of disaster relief funds will arrive this afternoon, so you can use it for emergency needs first!"

"That is truly great! This solves our urgent need!"

"In addition, you must do a good job in guiding the villagers' thinking. Take this opportunity of post-disaster reconstruction to mobilize everyone to move to the market town to live; this way, their subsequent life will be more convenient."

"Understood, I will organize people to execute it after the meeting!"

Tang Ye gave a concluding speech.

"Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work is directly related to the vital interests of the people in the disaster area."

Whether we can complete the reconstruction tasks with high quality within the promised time limit, and let the affected people live in safe, reassuring, and satisfactory houses, is a direct test of the governing ability, work style, and sense of responsibility of our Party Committee at all levels and all party member cadres.

The core of reconstruction work is 'people'; all our work must be pushed forward around 'people', and we must focus on the interests that the masses care about most, most directly, and most realistically.

Housing safety is the top priority; we must ensure that by the end of this year, all affected people can successfully move into new homes and spend the winter warmly..."

The meeting ended.

Tang Ye walked out of the office building surrounded by others.

A group of common people was already standing outside the building.

Ma Wu was standing at the very front of the crowd.

Tang Ye was a little surprised.

What is this for?

Could it be that the arrangements in the township were not good?

"County Magistrate Tang, as soon as everyone heard you were here, they specifically rushed over to say thank you to you in person!" Ma Wu stepped forward, dispelling Tang Ye's doubts.

Tang Ye waved gently at the crowd and said, "Dear fellow villagers, hello everyone! Here, I solemnly make a promise to you all: next, the county will definitely mobilize all its strength to help everyone rebuild their homes as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, a light flashed in the villagers' eyes, and they excitedly echoed him one after another.

"County Magistrate Tang, we believe in you!"

"You are our savior!"

"With a good cadre like you who works so hard for us, we are full of confidence in the future!"

"Next, whatever we should do, we will listen to the Government!"

At this moment, Ma Wu quietly approached Tang Ye and asked in a low voice, "County Magistrate Tang, there is something I want to ask you about: is it true that a large mine was discovered in the mountain behind our village?"

Tang Ye knew clearly that the news of the Fluorite Mine would spread sooner or later, and there was no need to hide it at all.

Moreover, after the disaster occurred, such good news was also needed to boost everyone's confidence.

So he said frankly, "That's right. In the near future, the province will arrange for a professional Exploration Team to enter the mountains to carry out work. After it is confirmed later that the mine will be exploited, the area where the village is located will no longer be suitable for living."

"We will specifically allocate a piece of land in the township to help everyone build new houses in a unified manner."

"Moreover, the income generated from mining will also be specifically used to improve everyone's living conditions."

After hearing this, an excited look immediately appeared in Ma Wu's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Tang, thank you so much this time! You not only issued an early warning for the mudslide disaster, allowing everyone to escape danger in time, but now you have also found a new way out for us. On behalf of all the common people in Hongyue Township, I express my most heartfelt thanks to you!"

"Branch Secretary Ma, you are too polite. Ensuring the safety of the fellow villagers and seeking welfare for everyone is my duty."

Tang Ye smiled faintly, then his expression turned serious, and he turned to look at Ji Shaoquan beside him, saying, "The subsequent reconstruction tasks are extremely arduous. You must be mentally prepared to fight a hard battle and must not take it lightly."

Ji Shaoquan nodded vigorously immediately and replied with a firm tone, "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Tang! We will definitely go all out!"

Tang Ye had a good impression of Ji Shaoquan.

The county could be completely at ease leaving the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction and various overall arrangements of Hongyue Township to Ji Shaoquan.

"Fellow villagers, I have other things to deal with, so I won't stay long."

"County Magistrate Tang, take care!"

Ma Ran stood beside Tang Ye and could clearly feel the gazes full of kindness cast by the crowd, and could not help but feel deeply moved.

This person, Tang Ye, really brings hope and light to the common people wherever he goes.

Being an official should be done like this!

Tang Ye set an example for Ma Ran!

After Tang Ye got into the car, the car drove away slowly.

The fellow villagers followed the car for a distance before slowly stopping their steps.

Tang Ye sat in the car and sighed to himself: he risked his life to participate in disaster relief this time, and to have such a result in the end is not bad at all.

Political achievements plus 100!

Popular support plus 100!

The most important thing is public support!

Public support is invisible and intangible, yet its influence is far-reaching and its significance extraordinary!

……

The sedan completely disappeared from view.

Only then did the crowd outside gradually disperse.

"Branch Secretary, are we really going to live in the township from now on?"

"Yes! The county will build us brand-new houses. I have already been to see our original village; all the houses we used to live in, as well as the livestock we raised, were completely washed away by the flood."

"So, was a mine really discovered in the back mountain? We've really struck gold!"

"That mine has to wait for a professional team to come and extract it; handing it over to the state to manage is the most reliable way.

Rest assured, once the mine starts generating revenue in the future, everyone's life will definitely get better and better!"

"County Magistrate Tang is truly a 'divine person'; it feels like he can predict the future, knows astronomy from above and geography from below—he's just too amazing!"

Ma Wu, on the other hand, had the feeling that everything was under control!

He had long sensed that Tang Ye coming to the village for research would bring change to everyone.

Of course.

He also hadn't expected that the changes Tang Ye brought would far exceed his expectations.
