Ling Anguo said, "Yes, we must do these major things and pave the way for those who come later, so that they can roll up their sleeves and work!"

Xue Xingyuan said, "Yes, this is being responsible to the more than 400,000 common people in Changshan County!"

While speaking, the car had already driven to the old Changyu Highway. Now the new Changyu Highway had not been built yet, so they could only take this old road to Yulin City. However, because the quarries were all stopped and trucks could not be overloaded, this road was not continuously damaged. During this period, the road administration department had repaired it, and the road condition of this road was better than before.

Suddenly, Ling Anguo saw a jeep parked on the side of the road. Su Xinghui was standing next to the jeep, waving at their car. Ling Anguo hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, and he got out of the car and walked toward Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui pulled Ling Anguo to the side of the road to talk for a while. Xue Xingyuan didn't get out of the car. He watched the two talking. He saw Su Xinghui say a few words to Ling Anguo in a low voice, and Ling Anguo nodded repeatedly, a happy smile appearing on his face.

The car Li Bokun and Shi Ronghuai were sitting in also stopped behind. They naturally saw this scene too. Their faces were gloomy, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Soon, Ling Anguo returned to Xue Xingyuan's car and asked the driver to drive. He didn't tell Xue Xingyuan what Su Xinghui had just said to him. Xue Xingyuan naturally wouldn't ask anything, and he closed his eyes to rest.

Su Xinghui waved at the cars on the side of the road, watched them leave, and then he returned to the town government.

Xue Xingyuan and his party arrived at the gate of the Yulin Municipal Government. They saw dozens of people sitting here. These people were all farmers, men, women, old and young. They were also holding banners, and the banners were written with slogans like "We want work, we want to eat" and "Protest against Changshan County Government shutting down quarries."

Next to them were Yulin City police maintaining order, but behind the police, quite a few people had gathered to watch this scene.

These people sitting here should have been very imposing, but these people were uneven, with men, women, old and young. Women and the elderly accounted for more than half. Those rural women were still giggling, which made the momentum not look so sufficient, but rather more of a farce.

As soon as Xue Xingyuan's car arrived, the police maintaining order let them in. Xue Xingyuan and Ling Anguo walked toward those sitting people first.

Xue Xingyuan was walking halfway when he suddenly felt someone looking at him. He looked up and happened to see in a window of the office building, Mayor Ren Guisheng was staring at him. Seeing Xue Xingyuan saw himself, Ren Guisheng's eyes looked at him coldly.

Xue Xingyuan smiled, stopped looking at Ren Guisheng, and walked toward the group of people.

Xue Xingyuan said, "Which quarry are you workers from? I am Xue Xingyuan, the Party Secretary of Changshan County. If you have any requirements, you can go directly to the Changshan County Party Committee to find me. Why come here? Who asked you to come?"

A young man said, "We are workers from several quarries. Now the quarries have been shut down, and we have no work. Our boss said it was your county that let the quarries shut down, so what are we looking for your county for? So we spontaneously came to the city."

Xue Xingyuan said, "Spontaneously came? Then who organized you? And brought banners. If no one organized it, it's impossible, right?"

The young man was speechless for a moment, but he quickly said, "We just came spontaneously. We lost our jobs and have nothing to eat. Can't we come here to shout about injustice?"

Xue Xingyuan stared at him and said, "What is your name? Which quarry are you from?"

The young man stiffened his neck and said, "Why do you ask this? Are you trying to find out my name to retaliate? I tell you, since we came today, we are not afraid of this. Even if you arrest us all, we are not afraid. Someone will definitely appeal for us. Everyone, say, is it?"

The group of people shouted in a mess. The sound was not small, but it was not neat. Occasionally, there was the giggling of women, which seemed noisy.

Ling Anguo said, "I am the County Magistrate of Changshan County. My name is Ling Anguo. I want to ask, what is your purpose in coming here today, or what requirements do you have? If it can be satisfied, we will try our best to satisfy it."

The young man said, "Our requirement is to let the quarries resume work as soon as possible."

Ling Anguo said, "Why let the quarries resume work? Are you the quarry owner?"

The young man said, "I am not the boss. I am a quarry worker. The quarry stopped, and I have no work."

Ling Anguo said, "Then you have to work in the quarry? Can't you find other work? Quarry work is bitter, tired, and dangerous, and it is possible to get lung disease. That is not a good place."

The young man said, "Of course I want to find an easy job, but is work so easy to find? Your county magistrate's work is easy. Can you let me be it?"

The young man's words brought a burst of unscrupulous laughter. The young man was also triumphant and proud of his eloquence.

Ling Anguo said, "The county magistrate's work is not necessarily easy. Besides, the county magistrate is not something I can let you be if I want to. It also has to pass the election of the people of the whole county. How about this? Don't think about the county magistrate for the time being. If I provide you with other work, which is easier than quarry work, and as long as you are willing to work hard, the money you get will not be less than quarry work, are you willing to do it?"

The young man was a little stunned. Why doesn't this county magistrate play according to the routine? We asked to work in the quarry, why does he want to find us other work?

The young man's purpose was naturally not to find work. He said, "I don't want other work. You just let the quarry resume work. I like working in the quarry."

A smile appeared on Ling Anguo's face, and Xue Xingyuan also laughed. The faces of several municipal cadres next to them also showed a sudden realization.

And Li Bokun shook his head, and Shi Ronghuai was even more blue-faced. This is too stupid, right?

The young man was not interested in finding work, but others were very interested. A middle-aged woman said, "County Magistrate, can I find work like me?"

Ling Anguo nodded, "Yes, no problem. I guarantee it can be found. If it can't be found, you can go to our county government to find me."

The middle-aged woman said, "Then what kind of work can I find? How much salary can I get?"

Ling Anguo said, "There are many jobs for you to choose from. Now the mineral water factory, meat union factory, leather goods factory, and leather factory in Matou Town are all recruiting workers. There are many types of work. You can find whatever work you want. More work, more pay. If you are fast, it is no problem to get three or four hundred a month. Some salaries may be higher than my county magistrate. By then, if you are really asked to be the county magistrate, I guess you won't want to."

Ling Anguo's words made those people excited. They didn't understand what the concept of a salary higher than the county magistrate was, but they understood getting three or four hundred a month. If they could really get three or four hundred a month, wouldn't that be a year's income for their whole family in one month? Is there really such a good thing?
