Chapter 471: Black Xigang

The next morning, Bao Feiyang drove to Changyuan County with Wang Shengtao, Hu Yun, and Liu Guiying, the only female member of the monitoring team.

Changyuan County is located in the northwest of Xijing City, the southeast and Xihe District, Beishan County border, the northwest is Tianyuan City, the county has a 127 provincial highway connected to Xijing City, but this provincial highway was built for a long time, not only the road is narrow, most of the road section is only two lanes, and the road is potholed, very difficult to walk.

Coming out of Xijing City, walking along Provincial Highway 127, after entering Changyuan County, the gap is very large, it is difficult to imagine that Xijing, as the provincial capital, has such a place, Bao Feiyang even has an illusion, as if they are on the way to Tianbei County.

However, Tianbei County is far away from Xijing, the location in the northwest province is relatively remote, located in the depths of the Loess Plateau, the industrial base is very weak, and the soil erosion is very strict, Changyuan County is in the suburbs of Xijing City, but the geographical location is many times superior to Tianbei County.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place in Xijing. Liu Guiying only joined the monitoring team last year, and she really hadn't been to Changyuan County before, and when she saw the scene outside the car window, she couldn't help but sigh like this.

"In fact, it is not surprising that the economic strength of Northwest Province cannot be compared with the coastal areas, and Xijing is like a black hole. Bao Feiyang said that the geographical location of Changyuan County can sometimes be an advantage, but sometimes it can also become a disadvantage.

There are only so many economic resources that Xijing can obtain, and the advantages of several districts and counties close to the center, especially those districts, are very obvious. They took up most of the resources, and there was naturally less left for Changyuan, and it was definitely a project with poor conditions.

After returning from dinner last night, Bao Feiyang took a closer look at the materials sorted out by Wang Shengtao. Knowing that Changyuan County has special geographical conditions, poor land, and a weak industrial base, it cannot be compared with other areas of Xijing City.

Liu Guiying still felt unacceptable: "But it can't be so bad!"

Bao Feiyang smiled: "There is a result, there must be a reason, Sister Ying, since you are so curious." Then this time you go to Changyuan, you are responsible for finding out the reason. ”

Liu Guiying blinked: "Hey, director, didn't we go to inspect the local environment, and the economic exhibition is not under the management of our Environmental Protection Department." ”

Bao Feiyang shook his head: "But our environmental protection work has no way to get out of the economic exhibition, you look at it, we go to Changyuan this time, and the biggest obstacle to implementation must be this exhibition problem." ”

Wang Shengtao echoed: "I agree with the director's opinion, in the past few years, we have heard the most common sentence in the process of law enforcement: If there is no exhibition, what is the use of us protecting the environment? Only places where the economy is developing can have the mood and ability to engage in environmental protection. ”

"Isn't this nonsense!" Liu Guiying said angrily: "The textbooks of primary school students have said that we cannot repeat the old path of polluting first and cleaning up later. ”

Bao Feiyang sighed: "Maybe we were once poor and crazy!"

The county seat of Changyuan County is a small city distributed on both sides of the 127 Provincial Highway, and there are some small factories such as agricultural machinery factories, grain processing factories, and food factories in the urban area, but they all look dilapidated, and the whole county is dominated by two- or three-story buildings, and buildings with more than five or six floors are rare. The eyes were gray and lifeless.

Xigang Village is in the northwest of the county seat, continue to go about three or four kilometers along the 127 Provincial Highway, cross a high gang, you can see a small river flowing from the northeast to the southwest, there is a house on the west side of the intersection of the small river and the provincial highway, and a sign is erected at the intersection: Xigang Village.

On the other side of the provincial road, there is a large factory building, among which there are many chimneys, which are emitting black smoke outward. With the northeast wind, the village dwellings drifting downwind.

"This is Atari, why is the distance between their factory and residential areas so close, and they are still upwind, this is too messy. How did you get the plan in the first place?" Liu Guiying said in surprise.

Bao Feiyang's face was already gloomy, the possible pollution in the production of lead-acid batteries includes exhaust gas pollution and water pollution, so the environmental regulations have strict restrictions on the distance and location of the factory and residential areas, the distance is at least 5oo meters, and it should be built downwind.

Atari's factory and Xigang Village are only separated by a two-lane road, and the nearest place is less than 100 meters apart, and the entire Xigang Village is almost within the 5oo-meter control area.

Bao Feiyang asked Wang Taosheng to park the car on the side of the road: "Let's go to the village to have a look first." ”

After getting out of the car, Bao Feiyang couldn't help frowning again, there was a pungent smell in the air, and the water of the small river next to it was a little dark, and the water surface was covered with white foam. The land along the river has been reclaimed by the villagers to grow crops, and the leaves are gray and have fallen a layer of black ash.

Xigang Village is a typical northwest village, along the river and the road for both sides, gathered together, the courtyards of the houses are densely packed together, most of the doors and windows are tightly closed, the window glass is also black, Bao Feiyang deliberately reached out and touched it, touching the black ash of one hand.

There is also a pungent smell in the village.

At this time, many villagers were working in the fields, and some people were wandering around the village, and a few children were running around barefoot, and suddenly saw a stranger in the village, and suddenly stopped, standing in the distance and looking.

Bao Feiyang grabbed a handful of candy from the bag, quickly called the children over, divided a few pieces of candy with each person, and then asked them where the village chief was.

The leading boy took the candy and happily stretched out his hand and pointed: "The village chief has just gone over there, I'll take you there!"

So, a group of children ran in front and led them to the outside of the village.

These children are quite energetic, but if you look closely, you may still see that their faces are a little yellow, and they seem to be malnourished.

The village party secretary and the head of the villagers' committee in Xigang Village is a man named Wang Baotian, who is almost 60 years old this year.

Wang Baotian is not tall. The person was also lean and lean, with a little hunched back, and the whole person seemed to be lying on his back, holding a dry smoking gun in his hand. Standing at the head of the field and looking into the distance.

His head was gray, his face was full of wrinkles like old bark, I heard that Bao Feiyang was introduced by Shang Xiaohong, the old bark on his face was wrinkled, and he stretched out his trembling hands with some excitement: "Leader, I am looking forward to you coming!"

Bao Feiyang hurriedly held Wang Baotian's hands: "Secretary Wang, our work is not in place. We should have come a long time ago. ”

"It's good to come, it's good to come. Wang Baotian was a little incoherent, looking like an ordinary country man, not like a village party secretary at all.

Bao Feiyang felt a little heartache: "Secretary Wang, the general situation, Sister Shang has already told me, but I still want to know some specific situations, you can rest assured, for those people and enterprises that pollute the environment and cause harm to the people, we will definitely deal with it strictly." ”

"Thank you, thank you, leadership. Wang Baotian wiped his face with some excitement: "Leader." Half a year ago, our village raised money and took them to Hexi District Hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that there were more than 60 children in the village, and each of them had a lead level. ”

Wang Baotian is not very literate. However, in the past half a year, he has been running around for the lead mark, and he has a good understanding of what blood lead mark, lead content, and lead poisoning are, and when it comes to this situation, he is no longer incoherent and says it very clearly.

Wang Baotian led Bao Feiyang and others to the village headquarters and took out a stack of test sheets, which included the test reports of all the children in the village, as well as more than a dozen villagers whose health had deteriorated significantly, and the results showed that they all showed. Everyone's blood lead level is labeled.

"The condition of several adults is already very serious, urinary poison, liver failure, are still supporting, but the children's bodies can not be delayed, and more than a dozen children have gone to the county and Xihe District for treatment. However, the cost is too great, 66 continued to come back, only three children are still in the county hospital, the doctor said that the treatment has a certain effect, but dare not let them come back, some families can only send the children to relatives in other places......"

Wang Baotian added some shredded tobacco to the cigarette gun, took one puff after another, and intermittently told them about the situation in Xigang Village.

"Lead marks are very harmful to children, and they must be treated as soon as possible!" Liu Guiying didn't know whether she was angry or anxious, and said with a flushed face.

Wang Baotian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Big sister, we all understand this truth, if it weren't for the children, where would we go to the county and city to make trouble? But it costs money to see a doctor, Wang Laohu's family has already spent tens of thousands of yuan, except for their family in the village, who can take so much money out?"

"You ask the factory, the pollution they cause has caused damage to your body, and if you don't let them lose money, you just need to pay for the children's medical treatment. Liu Guiying said indignantly.

Wang Baotian sighed: "We went to ask for it, but they didn't give it." ”

Liu Guiying opened her mouth: "How can they not give it, do you just admit it?"

Bao Feiyang also looked at Wang Baotian a little strangely, although the people of Huaxia are relatively honest and have no concept of rights protection, but the people in the northwest region are fierce, and there is no reaction to being harmed like this, which is rare.

Wang Baotian smiled bitterly: "How can we admit it, we also went to block the gate of the factory, Dazhai Village soon entangled the villagers and factory workers to drive us back, the town and the county also criticized us, we went to the county, the city, and even the province to ask for an explanation, but every time we didn't get a response......"

"Fortunately, several leaders are finally here, you must save our Xigang Village, save our children in Xigang Village!" Wang Baotian couldn't help but burst into tears.

Hearing about what happened to Xigang Village, Liu Guiying stood up in a huodi: "Director, let's go to Atari now and seal off their factory." ”

Wang Taosheng hurriedly scolded: "Xiao Liu, what are you talking nonsense, didn't you hear that the situation here is very complicated, we are only investigating the situation today, and we can only deal with it after the situation is clear." ”

"What else is there to investigate, hundreds of people in a village have been harmed by them, do you want to let them continue to plague like this!" Liu Guiying said angrily.

"Sister Ying is right, we can't let them continue like this, let's go to Atari now. Bao Feiyang waved his hand, stood up and said decisively.
