Chapter 826: They Must Not Be Allowed to Succeed!

Seeing Li Zhewen get out of the car, Tang Ye hurriedly strode forward to greet him.

Li Zhewen was the General Commander for this mine construction project.

Previously, he and his team had conducted multiple surveys.

They had formulated a scientific and reasonable construction plan.

Now, it was time to put the plans on the blueprints into practice.

"General Commander, welcome back to Dayu County, to Julong Mountain!"

"County Magistrate Tang, long time no see!" Li Zhewen shook hands with Tang Ye, then introduced his colleague beside him, "This is Comrade Wang Ping, the engineer responsible for the mine construction..."

"Engineer Wang, hello!" Tang Ye greeted everyone in turn.

The staff of the mine construction team were all very polite to Tang Ye.

Clearly, Li Zhewen had already acted as a "propaganda committee member" on the way here.

Everyone knew that the origin of this mine was inseparable from Tang Ye!

Before the official start of construction, a special launch ceremony was held.

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.

The Julong Mountain Fluorite Mine construction project officially kicked off.

After the launch ceremony ended, Tang Ye returned to the County Party Committee Compound.

He reported the situation to Ou Xiye at the first opportunity.

"Secretary Ou, the construction of the Fluorite Mine area has already started."

Ou Xiye let out a long sigh: "It hasn't been easy, tossing and turning for nearly a month. After waiting and hoping, it has finally started. Mining the fluorite is a great thing for Hongyue Township; you must keep a close eye on this project."

Tang Ye nodded: "Moving forward, I will proactively report the progress to you regularly."

Subsequently, Tang Ye reported to Ou Xiye on the progress of post-disaster reconstruction in Hongyue Township.

"Shuiyue Township has already planned the resettlement community for disaster victims.

It is expected that the main project will be completed within three months..."

Suddenly, Tang Ye's words were interrupted by a ringtone.

The red landline on the desk suddenly rang.

Ou Xiye picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Ou Xiye."

"This is Ji Shaoquan. I am reporting a matter to you. A group of people suddenly arrived at the Julong Mountain mining site. They demanded that the construction team stop work. They forcibly cut the power and also verbally abused the staff."

Ou Xiye's expression turned cold instantly, and he frowned as he instructed: "You must take strong security measures and ensure that the construction of the mining area proceeds normally."

Having received Ou Xiye's support, Ji Shaoquan felt more confident.

"Understood, Secretary Ou, we will arrest them immediately!"

After Ou Xiye hung up the phone, Tang Ye asked softly: "What happened?"

"A group of commoners broke into the construction site and got into a shoving match and verbal altercation with the staff.

I have already ordered Ji Shaoquan to notify the comrades at the Police Station to take all the troublemakers into custody."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment.

Hao Hongbiao had previously boasted in public that once the mine construction team arrived, he would organize people to cause trouble.

Although Hao Hongbiao had since been shot dead in the street, the incident had still occurred!

However, fortunately, he had warned Ji Shaoquan, and Ji Shaoquan had taken it to heart.

At the construction site, sufficient police force had been arranged.

Therefore, after the incident occurred, it was handled with ease.

"Secretary Ou, there is more to these people causing trouble than meets the eye." Seeing that the timing was right, Tang Ye took the initiative to voice his inner concerns.

Ou Xiye revealed a grave expression: "What is going on?"

Tang Ye said: "Some time ago, I heard rumors that once the mine construction team arrived, they would organize people to cause trouble to achieve the goal of delaying and blocking the progress of the project. Now it seems this is a planned and organized act."

Ou Xiye was puzzled: "What benefit is it to them if the mine cannot be built?"

To solve the problem, it was necessary to gain Ou Xiye's attention.

Tang Ye patiently broke down the problem for Ou Xiye.

"According to the information I have, as early as a month ago, someone was already secretly mining the fluorite at Julong Mountain."

A flash of shock crossed Ou Xiye's eyes: "Who is so bold as to dare to mine privately!"

Tang Ye sighed: "Secretary Ou, I will go back to my office to retrieve some documents."

Ou Xiye nodded at Tang Ye: "I will wait for you!"

A moment later, Tang Ye returned with a file.

This file was something Tang Ye had entrusted Xing Zhijun's subordinates to investigate and compile.

"Secretary Ou, Julong Mountain is at the junction of Zhangping County and Dayu County.

Some outlaws in Zhangping County knew there was a fluorite mine on the mountain, so they secretly dug mine shafts from the Zhangping County side to extract and transport the ore away."

Ou Xiye took a look.

There were pictures and proof!

The file not only marked the specific location of the private mine but also included photos of the site where the fluorite was being stolen.

Ou Xiye was instantly enraged!

"These people are simply outrageous!

This is state property!

They actually dared to mine privately without permission to seek personal gain!"

"They have too much nerve!"

Tang Ye sighed: "From what I understand, Zhangping County has always had this situation, with many small private mines existing."

These mines are all operated without licenses; the Zhangping County Government has tried to manage them many times, but it has always been to no avail.

These small private mines have scouts; when investigations occur, they temporarily restrain themselves;

once the wind blows over, they immediately make a comeback.

After Tang Ye fanned the flames!

Ou Xiye was depressed to the extreme.

It was clearly agreed upon!

Most of the Fluorite Mine in Julong Mountain belongs to Dayu County.

On the surface, Zhangping County did not contend for it with the city, but in secret, they actually tacitly allowed private mines within their borders to run rampant, secretly mining the Fluorite Mine.

Damn it, that is really lacking in martial virtue!

This kind of behavior will not only cause a massive loss of state assets but will also throw market conditions into a mess.

The value of the Fluorite Mine lies in its scarcity; by controlling the shipping channels well, the price can be stabilized within a reasonable range;

however, these illegal, privately mined small mines certainly will not follow the rules; they will drive down prices, to the point of disrupting the market.

If this matter were in Dayu County, it would be easy to handle.

But.

Since it is happening in the neighboring Zhangping County, Ou Xiye wants to handle it, but it is somewhat beyond his reach!

Ou Xiye slapped the tabletop hard: "This problem is very serious; I must report to Secretary Liu immediately!"

Tang Ye nodded slightly and chimed in: "If Secretary Liu knows the truth, he will definitely support us!"

In front of Tang Ye, Ou Xiye dialed Liu Mingyuan's phone number:

"Secretary Liu, I have something to tell you. Today, the Fluorite Mine in Julong Mountain officially started. As a result, a group of people caused trouble in the name of the common folk. We have obtained some evidence that this group of people was instigated by someone."

"Who instigated them?"

"It is related to Zhangping County! Currently, there are suspected targets, but it is impossible to determine who it is."

"Bring the materials over for me to see!"

"Understood, I will report to you in person in a moment!"

Seeing Ou Xiye take the initiative to report the matter of the private mines to Liu Mingyuan.

Tang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything was under control.

A few weeks ago, after Meng Haibo was poisoned into a vegetative state, Tang Ye began to secretly investigate the reasons behind it.

Private mines are a deep-rooted, stubborn ailment in Zhangping County.

In the past, the most serious ones were coal mines; there were over one hundred private mines of all sizes throughout the county.

Nowadays, this group of people has set their dirty hands on the Fluorite Mine...

Right under his own nose, picking his own pocket!

Naturally, he could not let them succeed...
