Chapter 1413

On this day, Ling Anguo talked with Xue Xingyuan in his office for a long time. He said to Xue Xingyuan, "Secretary, this time we must be determined. Any quarry that is not qualified for rectification must not be allowed to start work. This time, fortunately, only one person was injured. If a major incident occurred, it would be a very big blow to the current excellent situation in the county."

Xue Xingyuan certainly knew this truth. Now the county can be said to be in a prosperous situation: the tourism development company, the two roads leading out of the county, the animal husbandry carried out in the whole county, and other enterprises with confirmed investments. If the 500 million investment of the Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group is confirmed to land, then the foreign investment in Changshan County this year might reach nearly 1 billion.

This is a terrifying number. The foreign investment introduced in Changshan County over the years does not add up to this much.

If some big trouble is caused because of the quarry, affecting the landing of these investments, then Xue Xingyuan will regret it endlessly. If this opportunity is lost, who knows when Changshan County will wait for such an opportunity next time.

However, if he really wants to be determined to thoroughly let these quarries rectify, Xue Xingyuan still has some hesitation. After all, these quarries have backgrounds. He also knows who they are specifically, and he still has quite a few eyes and ears in the county.

It can be said that at least half of the county's leaders and middle-level cadres have interests in these quarries in the county, which weaves a net, a net that is everywhere.

The power of this net was not great at the beginning, so Xue Xingyuan did not take it to heart. However, as time went on, more and more people were involved in this net, and the interests involved were becoming more and more huge, so even Xue Xingyuan had to be wary.

This safety accident almost caused a mass incident. Xue Xingyuan, in his anger, made the decision to let the quarries in the county stop work for rectification. However, his original intention was to let the people behind these quarries restrain themselves, which was considered a warning to them. It was still difficult to make such a determination to thoroughly let them rectify.

Even if Xue Xingyuan's words were final in Changshan County, if he really offended so many people's interests, he would have to weigh the intensity of such a backlash.

The last time the rectification of truck overloading was okay, it did not shake the fundamental interests of these quarries. As long as they could start work, there was still money to be made; it was just a matter of earning more or less. However, this time it was different. If they were made to stop work, it was directly cutting off their financial path.

Xue Xingyuan is known for being arrogant and self-willed, but being arrogant and self-willed also means that his personality is decisive. Even such a decisive personality of his has become hesitant, which proves that this matter is still not small.

Just when Ling Anguo was talking to Xue Xingyuan, several county leaders of Changshan County gathered at the home of the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Shi Ronghuai, to play mahjong.

Shi Ronghuai is also an old-brand county leader in Changshan County. Although he is not from Changshan County, he is from the neighboring Dashan County. He has worked in Changshan County for nearly 30 years and is now no different from a Changshan person.

Shi Ronghuai naturally also has shares in several quarries in Changshan County. The fuse of the whole incident this time, the quarry in Dashan Township, has his shares. His nephew-in-law also serves as the deputy captain of the security team in the quarry. Half of the people who confronted Yue Yaohua and the others were hooligans brought over by his nephew-in-law.

Today, those playing cards at Shi Ronghuai's house include Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Shiqing, Vice Chairman of the People's Congress Fang Ligang, and the boss of the quarry in Dashan Township, Zuo Yuanzhi. Shi Ronghuai's nephew-in-law, Liang Chunhua, is serving tea and water for them.

Liang Chunhua is actually a burly man, but his parents had two sons who died prematurely before him. After giving birth to him, in order to make him easy to raise, they gave him a girl's name. In the customs here, boys with girl's names are easy to raise.

I don't know if it's because of this name, but Liang Chunhua has grown up without illness or disaster, and he has grown up burly. Precisely because he has a good physique and his parents spoil him, he likes to cause trouble, and fighting and brawling outside is a common occurrence.

The trouble he caused outside was settled by Shi Ronghuai, his uncle-in-law. After Shi Ronghuai bought shares in that quarry, he introduced Liang Chunhua to the quarry to be the deputy captain of the security team, receiving a high salary and acting as a thug.

Several people were rubbing mahjong tiles. Shi Ronghuai threw out a three-bamboo, Zuo Yuanzhi touched a tile, threw out a two-bamboo, Shi Ronghuai turned the tiles over and said: "Hu! Single hanging two-bamboo!"

The rule of mahjong here is two-five-eight generals. Zuo Yuanzhi pretended to be annoyed and said: "Pointed the cannon again. County Magistrate Shi plays cards well."

Zuo Yuanzhi threw over a fifty, Zhang Shiqing and Fang Ligang both threw over thirty, Shi Ronghuai smiled and put the money in front of him and said: "Little Zuo, you are a sharpshooter today, you have pointed quite a few cannons for us."

Zuo Yuanzhi said: "No way, the luck is bad, the card playing is also poor, how can I not point cannons? It's considered filial piety to several leaders."

Zhang Shiqing said: "Little Zuo, point a few more cannons for me, they are all pointed to County Magistrate Shi and Director Fang."

Zuo Yuanzhi nodded and smiled: "Fine, this round will be pointed to you."

Fang Ligang said: "Old Shi, we can't just play cards. The county ordered our quarries to be all stopped. You have to find a way. You have to make suggestions, otherwise, bosses like Little Zuo have no income, how can he point cannons for you a few more times?"

Shi Ronghuai said: "It doesn't matter whether this cannon is pointed or not. Little Zuo, you too, the cannons in your quarry cannot be pointed randomly. If nothing happened this time, others would not make trouble, and this quarry would not stop work."

Zuo Yuanzhi said: "County Magistrate Shi, don't you know? That blasting company is too dark, charging us thousands for a ton of explosives, and the blaster's salary is also expensive. If we all use their explosives, wouldn't we all have to drink the northwest wind?"

Shi Ronghuai knew that the blasting company had hard relationships in the city, and the explosives were sent directly from the city. The price was indeed too expensive, so the quarry could not use all the blasting company's explosives for blasting, otherwise the cost would be too high. Sometimes they could only secretly carry out blasting themselves, using black market explosives.

The quarry did not have engineers in this area and did not know how deep the holes should be drilled, how big the holes should be, and how much explosives should be placed. Therefore, they all bought black market explosives and used indigenous methods to carry out expansion blasting, relying entirely on experience. It would be strange if nothing happened like this.

Shi Ronghuai frowned and said: "But if you do this, it is very normal for the county to ask you to stop work for rectification. How can we make suggestions?"

Zhang Shiqing said: "You don't know, County Magistrate Shi hasn't made suggestions. He said at the county magistrate's office meeting that the quarries in the county are now the main source of the county's fiscal revenue. Now that they are all closed and rectified in such a mess, the impact on fiscal revenue is very large. So he suggested that after a few days of rectification, let the quarries all start work. Otherwise, there are so many new projects in the county, where is the money?"

Zuo Yuanzhi said: "Then what did County Magistrate Ling say?"
