The Standing Committee met until midnight. One by one, the topics have been raised, discussed, and decided like a program list. The Standing Committee members also spoke one by one, discussed each by one, and deliberated one by one. Finally, Secretary Yang summarized and made the final decision. In the process of research and deliberation, Secretary Yang and County Magistrate Du both took the time to read the investigation and handling report on the collective petition practice of Xinghua Village that had just been submitted by Beishan Town. The agenda of the meeting is coming to an end, and the Standing Committee members are stretching their waists and snorting, preparing to find food after the meeting. Secretary Yang suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped them.

Secretary Yang said, I'm sorry everyone, I still have something other than the topic, and I want to discuss it at the Standing Committee. I don't know if you're interested in listening.

The Standing Committee members were stunned and asked one after another, what is the matter, it is so urgent. It won't be that the big boss has just promoted a group of people, so I want to treat them on their behalf. Secretary Wang of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection also said, Lao Yang, I'm not scaring you. If you dare to treat them on their behalf, this is selfless and disadvantageous. After setting ourselves on fire, we're going to take the opportunity to nibble on the duck.

County Magistrate Du said with a smile, you Wang Inspector Yushi dared to barbecue Lao Yang, and he was conscientious. If you dare to bite the meat and swallow it, I'm afraid you will be full of fishy smell, and you won't be able to get rid of it.

Secretary Wang shot back, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked, Lao Yang had just helped Lao Du upright, and before he sat in the Taishi chair of the county magistrate, he immediately jumped out to escort him.

Secretary Yang said, what is the escort. Two days ago, the elite soldiers trained by Lao Du in the early years rushed to the county seat and almost smashed our gatehouse. My eyelids jumped for days, and to this day, he still owes me moral compensation. Otherwise, let's sit back and treat Lao Du with the compensation owed to me at noon.

Of course, the Standing Committee members knew what Secretary Yang was referring to, that is, the fight between the two groups of collective petitioners in Xinghua Village, Beishan Town, two days ago, and they all coaxed in agreement.

Secretary Yang said, what I want to talk about is the matter of the collective petition of the masses in Xinghua Village. Then, he briefly described the process of the collective petition of the people in Xinghua Village.

He said: A few days ago, I received a letter from a rural teacher. Lao Du also received it. The two of us also exchanged views on this matter. I feel that this letter raises a very serious and practical question. That is, how can we ensure that the great cause of reform will continue to be carried out smoothly without internal strife, the scourge of depression, and the ruining of the current hard-won good situation. The problems that have arisen in Xinghua Village are not terrible. On the other hand, it's a good thing. It reminds our leading cadres at all levels not to just focus on economic development. In the tide of reform, it is all the more necessary to grasp at all times the change in people's ideological concepts and the orientation of their values. If this problem is not resolved in a timely and effective manner, the healthy, orderly, practical, and effective market economic mechanism that we have devoted all our efforts to building will collapse and disintegrate, and we will end up in a chaotic and disorderly situation. Only by guarding against microaggressions and keeping a clear head at all times can we be invincible. The scary thing now is that some people are not aware of this yet. They have not allowed the ideological pulse of the masses and tolerated and accommodating those who are unreasonable and troublesome, thus encouraging unhealthy tendencies in society. For the leaders who sacrifice their lives for the public to lead the masses to get rich, they dare not support and cheer up. If this continues, who will dare to take the lead in carrying out reforms, and who will dare to take risks and lead the masses to invigorate the market economy. If I had been replaced, I would have been timid. [End of Chapter]
