Chapter 146: Total War for Land Acquisition

The land acquisition notice officially issued by the county government was like a bomb that shook the entire Chunshan County.

The gossip from the previous year finally settled, and people crowded in front of the notice, reading the content of the notice word by word, for fear that if they missed a look, they would lose the unexpected joy that originally belonged to them.

Half of the notice on the wall of the township government was torn off. It is said that the one who tore the notice was Zhang the Butcher, who scolded that the township government looked at people with two eyes, and the expressway did not pass through Zhang the Butcher's village, so he lost an opportunity to exchange land for money.

In fact, for the expressway land acquisition, only Laoyingzui Village in the whole Suxi Township was circled in the scope. After reading the notice, the men of Laoyingzui Village, led by village head Zhao Dequan, came to the township government with more than 20 strong men to ask for an explanation.

Guo Wei was afraid of trouble, so he hurriedly called Hao Qiang over. Hao Qiang brought two small policemen, tucked handcuffs at his waist, held a police baton in his hand, and guarded the stairs like a great enemy, not letting Zhao Dequan and the others go upstairs.

Zhao Dequan was anxious, opened his throat and shouted at Yue Bai, "Liu Yue Bai, you come out."

Yue Bai was terrified, ran to my office, and her face turned pale with anxiety. She stammered, "Township Head Chen, what to do?"

I asked her calmly like Jiang Taigong, "What do they want to do?"

Yue Bai said, "Zhao Dequan wants to tear up the contract, saying that the township government cheated them in land acquisition."

I knocked on the table and said, "If you eat shit, you have to be willing to become a dog! The contract is in black and white, Zhao Dequan signed it, and every household in Laoyingzui signed and pressed their fingerprints. Does he still want to turn the sky?"

Yue Bai said with a red face, "No matter what, I am still a person from Laoyingzui. They dare not look for the township government now, so they can only take it out on me."

"He dares!" I slapped the table, startling Yue Bai so much that she almost jumped up.

I rarely lose my temper. In the four years of Suxi Township, this was the first time I slapped the table and blew my beard and stared. It's not that I have no temper, it's just that I didn't have the status to lose my temper before, and later I lacked the opportunity to lose my temper. As a result, the villagers gave me a nickname, called "Good Township Head".

"Or, let's go to Secretary Guo and say, increase the land acquisition fee?"

Yue Bai's suggestion made my heart move. The standard of expressway land acquisition and relocation fees is only known to a few people, Guo Wei, me, and Vice Township Head Liu Qiang.

Expressway is national construction, and the compensation standard is naturally not low. But this money goes to the province and has to fade a layer of skin, goes to the city, and fades a layer of skin, goes to the county, and is peeled off a layer of skin. Even so, it is much higher than the township government's standard of 3,000 yuan per mu. Zhao Dequan obviously knew the number of compensation funds, so he sat on the stairs and shouted, "If you officials don't come out, I will die here."

Hao Qiang looked at the gun and handcuffs at his waist and said with a guilty conscience, "Police Chief Hao, do you still want to arrest people?"

Hao Qiang said, "If you die, you die yourself, can you still rake the township government?"

Zhao Dequan looked at the gun and handcuffs at Hao Qiang's waist and said with a guilty conscience, "Police Chief Hao, do you still want to arrest people?"

"Are we breaking the law by looking for a reason?" Zhao Dequan asked strangely.

"You don't know, it's not that we don't want to go back, but we dare not go back. Think about it, the whole village is waiting for us to bring good news. If we go back without even seeing the leader, it is definitely looking for death. At least Uncle Half-Immortal will not let me go. He didn't want to sign at first, but I coaxed and forced him to sign."

"What do you think?" Hao Qiang moved a chair, sat down in front of a group of men, crossed his legs, and waited for Zhao Dequan's answer.

"What else can we do? The words are signed, and it is impossible to go back on it."

"Then what are you arguing about!" Hao Qiang pointed to Zhao Dequan's big forehead and said, "You dead brain, land acquisition is a government act, not someone's thing. Can you still buckle an egg from a rooster's butt?"

"We have to give us some ideas." Zhao Dequan said dejectedly, "The expressway compensation is 8,000 yuan per mu, and it doesn't occupy good fields. The township government is good, occupying more than 100 mu of our land at once, only 3,000 yuan per mu, isn't this a clear robbery?"

Hao Qiang laughed and said, "Village Head Zhao, you are in the rice basket, thinking about eating in the bran basket. Don't sell well after getting good. Go and see other villages, even if you give 1,000 yuan per mu, people wish to sell it all. Think about it, the new township government plan is to build a town. When the time comes, you have to build a few streets and a farmers' market, who will benefit? Isn't it the people of your Laoyingzui."

Zhao Dequan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Also. It's just that everyone feels uncomfortable, so they forced us to ask for an explanation. Why is the compensation money so different for the same national land acquisition."

I have been listening to them, and when I heard this, I couldn't sit still. I knew that if Guo Wei and I didn't come out to say something, Zhao Dequan and the others wouldn't leave the township government for half a step.

Seeing the withered Zhao Dequan when I went out, the words I thought of in my heart blurted out: "Village Head Zhao, what are you doing with these brothers to the township government?"

Seeing me, a light of hope appeared in Zhao Dequan's eyes, and he pushed Hao Qiang away and wanted to go upstairs.

Hao Qiang grabbed his clothes and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Dequan was about to struggle, and I said, "Police Chief Hao, let him go."

Hao Qiang let go, turned aside and gave way, saying, "Just you go up alone, everyone else stay honestly."

Seeing Yue Bai in my office, Zhao Dequan's face twisted, and he said, "Sister-in-law, I shouted until my throat broke downstairs, and you didn't say a word. You are still a person from Laoyingzui. How many days, and you don't recognize us?"

Yue Bai was anxious and almost shed tears, and hurriedly argued, "Brother Dequan, it's not that I don't want to speak. The leader didn't give me a decision, how can I say."

"Saying a word won't kill anyone." Zhao Dequan fell into the wooden chair with hatred, took out a cigarette and lit it, and only after spitting out a smoke ring did he open his mouth and say, "Township Head Chen, you have to give me an explanation."

I smiled and said, "What explanation do you want?"

Zhao Dequan said unhurriedly, "The township government's land acquisition funds, why are they so much less than the expressway. How do you want me to explain to the people in the village?"

I said, "This can't be compared. Go and see the rent of some shops in the county, why the main street is more expensive than the small alley."

Zhao Dequan was stunned, and after a long time, he hesitated and said, "Can this be compared?"

I said, "Where can't it be compared?"

Zhao Dequan was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything, his face red and white. His butt rubbed on the chair, and the chair creaked.

I said, "Don't crush my chair, if you have something to say, just say it."

Zhao Dequan stood up and said in a muffled voice, "Don't say it. Can't talk about you."

I comforted him, "Village Head Zhao, you are the master of a village, your vision must be long-term. Didn't we go to your Laoyingzui a while ago? What were those old men doing knocking on the mountain? Now I can tell you that the township government is going to build a factory in your Laoyingzui, and people in your village who meet the conditions can go to the factory to work. But if the township government is not built in your Laoyingzui, this factory cannot be built."

Zhao Dequan's eyes lit up, and he asked me excitedly, "Township Head Chen, what kind of factory is the township government going to build?"

I said, "It can't be told to you now, and you don't spread this news."

He nodded seriously, his face appeared flushed with excitement, and he asked me nervously, "Can we all go to work?"

"Of course you can. The prerequisite is that you must cooperate with the work of the township government." I threw him a cigarette, and he almost tremblingly lit the fire, took a deep breath and said, "I said, the Communist Party's government, how can it not care about our farmers."

After smoking half a cigarette, he slapped his chest and said to me like making up his mind, "Township Head Chen, I believe in you. Don't worry, this land acquisition matter will not be mentioned again. Now it is a pocket of shit, and I have to eat it. I will go back to do work, if the work can't be done, you remove me."

I continued to draw a cake for him, "You are the village head now, and you may be the factory manager in the future. When the time comes, you will have a salary, wear leather shoes, and live in a foreign building, what a comfortable thing. If the township government's land acquisition is not done well, everything is nonsense, let alone going to work, even if Laoyingzui's mouth is bigger, it can only eat flowing clouds and west wind, you just watch other villages live a good life."

Zhao Dequan was told by me, and his fighting spirit collapsed.

Seeing that the fire was almost enough, I said, "You take them back. Don't spread the matter I just said. Once the township government's red line map comes out, we will start construction. For other things, I believe you will handle it well."

Zhao Dequan left hesitantly, and when he reached the door, he turned back to Yue Bai and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me, I was forced to have no way."

Yue Bai gave a faint smile and said, "I won't blame you. I understand your difficulties."

Zhao Dequan said moved, "Still sister-in-law understands me."

After speaking, he kicked and walked downstairs, waving at the group of men and saying, "Go back, there is good news."

One of them asked in confusion, "What good news?"

Zhao Dequan shouted mysteriously, "The leader's business, can you inquire? Go back."

Watching more than 20 men hang their heads out of the township government, I got up and prepared to go to Guo Wei's office. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====

Watching the twenty-some men leave the township government with their heads hanging low, I stood up, preparing to go to Guo Wei's office.
