In China, there are actually not many illegal brick factories like this.

Because of its remote location and slow economic development, administrative officials have the idea of weighing up the pressure of fiscal revenue, and the enforcement of laws and regulations is weak.

At the same time, the people in such places are relatively less aware of the law, and many people even do not know whether what they are doing has touched the boundaries of the law.

As a result, the widening of the law will require a long transition period, and there is no possibility of achieving it overnight.

"Master, should we report it?"

Xuan Wei did not answer immediately, but looked at the small village at the foot of the same mountain, not far from the brick factory, with a complicated expression.

It is said to be a village, but in fact, there are more than a dozen low-rise adobe houses scattered together.

"There is a brick factory next to it, but not a single red brick is used in these houses. Xuan Wei replied unexpectedly.

When I heard the words tomorrow night, I immediately understood something.

There is no doubt that a house made of solid red brick will be more stable and beautiful, and it will not be comparable to such a simple adobe house.

Obviously, it's not that you don't want to use red bricks, but you don't want to!

Even though there are countless red bricks piled up at the entrance of the brick factory, they are used to sell and exchange the necessities of life, so they are reluctant to use them for private use.

"However, the burning of red bricks can seriously pollute the environment, and the black smoke is emitted directly to the outside without any treatment, which not only affects the survival of the surrounding vegetation and crops, but also harms the health of the residents. In addition, the encroachment on land and the wanton illegal acquisition of land have led to the destruction of cultivated land and the loss of a large amount of land resources, which is not in line with sustainable development! Under such a vicious circle, the development of this place will only become more and more difficult!" Ming Ye pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before saying.

It's no wonder that Ming Ye said such things seriously, he was born in a powerful family like the Tang family in Yanjing, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and many times his eyes on things are different from those of children of the same age.

Although it would seem a little strange to say these big truths just because of Ming Ye's immature appearance, everyone had to admit that what Ming Ye said was almost impossible to refute.

Although the brick factory brings income to the residents and enables them to sustain their livelihoods, the cost is the destruction of arable land, the pollution of the environment, and even the great threat to the health of the residents.

Farming became more difficult, and with no other way to grow the economy, the inhabitants continued to burn bricks to earn a living.

But the day when the mountain is hollowed out, there is also a time when the land is exhausted, and in the long run, this is undoubtedly killing the chicken and taking the eggs, which is not conducive to future generations.

"So, a lot of things are one wrong step, and then every step is wrong. embarked on a fork in the road, even if he knew that going down was a dead end, he could only continue with his head. Xuan Wei sighed lightly.

"Amitabha! Even if the brick factory is reported to be illegal, such a remote place may not be easy to manage! A fine will be imposed and the brick factory will be banned, and the residents will be able to continue to build a new brick factory on another place, and it will not be possible to eradicate the root cause at all. On the other hand, if the administrative officials enforce the law too aggressively, it is tantamount to pushing these residents to a dead end, and there may be a situation that neither side wants to see. Puji said with some compassion.

As Puji said, a place like this is inconvenient to manage, and if the administrative officials want to put an end to illegal brick factories, they have to find a way to solve the problems of people's livelihood in order to solve it once and for all.

But the difficulty is this, unless the residents are relocated, or long-term subsidies are given, without the income of the brick factory, the residents here will basically not survive.

It's hard to manage, and if you do, it will even cause big trouble, so the best thing to do is to turn a blind eye and let it go!

"Don't think too much, this kind of thing can't be solved by just one mouth, let's go to the family and ask for saliva first. Xuan Wei patted Ming Ye's head and said softly.

"Disciple understands!" Ming Ye nodded, and replied in a somewhat low mood.

The group soon entered the village, and when viewed closely, it seemed that the adobe houses built in the last centuries were far lower and more shabby than they had seen from a distance.

The whitening wooden doors were all closed, and there was no one in the village, not even the sound of poultry or livestock.

"Is this really inhabited?" Qinglian frowned.

Indeed, as far as everyone can see, this village is more like a deserted village with no one in the world.

If it is paired with such an eerie background music, it is a live-action experience scene of a horror movie!

Suddenly, the wooden door creaked open, and a rickety figure stepped out of the dimly lit room.

"What person?" the old man's voice sounded coldly, revealing a bit of vigilance and resistance.

Tomorrow night, the whole person trembled, his little face turned pale, and several young monks of Lingchan Temple were also frightened.

It's still blue and daylight, if it's left at night, they may just be a few runes and a piece of Buddhist scriptures, and they will directly treat the figure as a ghost!

The figure stepped out of the door, and everyone saw his appearance clearly.

What catches the eye is a wrinkled old face, sparse gray hair, cloudy eyes, and skinny cheekbones......

If it weren't for the old man holding a cane, and a light cough sound came out of his mouth from time to time, such a dry bone-like appearance really made people's scalp tingle, and I couldn't help but wonder, is this a person in front of him, or?

"Amitabha, poor monks and others passing by here, can they ask the donor for a bowl of water to drink?" Pu Ji stepped forward, pronounced the Buddha's name, and said slowly.

I have to say that Puji's words and deeds are full of the demeanor of a monk, especially the compassionate and charitable look, which is easy to make people feel close.

The old man stared at the crowd for a few seconds, the wariness in his eyes subsided a lot, and his attitude visibly softened.

But soon, the old man's face sank again, and he waved his hand and scolded: "Outsiders are not welcome here!"

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao and others are cultivating outside, but they have never seen people on the way, and they are somewhat hungry and thirsty at the moment, and I hope that the layman can make it convenient!" Xuan Wei bowed and saluted.

"It doesn't matter where you came from or where you're going, you're not welcome here!" the old man coughed violently in excitement.

The already hunched body, coughing at the moment gives people the feeling of a broken candle in the wind, as if he will fall to the ground at any time.

It was a few minutes before the old man stopped coughing and straightened up slightly.

"Go, get out of this village, and walk a few kilometers further to the township, where you can eat and drink!" said the old man in a stiff tone.

With that, he turned and walked into the room, and closed the wooden door tightly.

Xuan Wei and the others, who were turned away, couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't figure out why the old man had an attitude like a bandit and a bandit.
