Tang Cheng continued to walk down, in front of a dilapidated house, there was an old man with skin and bones sitting in front of the door, when he learned that he was here to visit Rongcheng, go back to engage in the development of realgar, this old man, old tears, he was busy explaining the knowledge of realgar to everyone, he said: "Comrades, but don't engage in realgar mining! This is a devil! It will kill us!" Tang Cheng and others came to watch, this old man, called Sun Kaishan, he came out to introduce the history of Rongcheng to everyone again, he said: " In the last century, Rongcheng was approved by the former Provincial Department of Industry to prepare for the development of Xionghuang Mine, and the provincial enterprise Xionghuang Mining Area was built in Baiyun Township, at the junction of Shimen Town and Minxian County. The mine began refining arsenic from low-grade ore and producing sulphuric acid and superphosphate from arsenic furnace exhaust. Ever since the arsenic was refined in the realgar mine, I have been in contact with these "highly toxic". I was in charge of burning the arsenic stove, and the arsenic ash was flying all over the hearth, and the three-layer mask could not stop it from entering the body and seeping into the blood. For as long as I can remember, my father has had a lot of brown arsenic spots on his body. At the worst of his time, his armpits, legs, hands, and chest were rotten piece by piece, bleeding and bleeding, and he had to use a towel under his armpits every day, changing them several times a day. My brother also died of this disease. I also had this disease, and it hurt and itched at night, and I often couldn't sleep at night. When I couldn't bear it, I put a match on the wound to burn it to relieve the pain. Soon after the scab flared up, I continued to burn. ”

After saying these words, this Sun Kaishan exposed his chest and let everyone see that there were patches of festering skin, and some of them were still dripping with thick water!

He knelt on the spot with a plop, and he burst into tears, saying: "You are from Jizhou, and you have also found a realgar mine there! Listen to my advice, but don't develop it! Let the realgar sleep in the ground, if it comes out, the people near us will suffer! We are a vivid example!"

Tang Cheng said: "However, our people in Jizhou still want to expect the Xionghuang Mine to make a fortune!"

Sun Kaishan said: "If you get rich, you have to die! Is life important, or is money important? If you don't have a life, what is the use of asking for money? Isn't my fate still explaining? ”

Chen Deli, the mayor of Rongcheng, came over and said: "If this is the case, you Jizhou has also discovered realgar, my opinion, don't move, otherwise, the fate of the people here is the fate of your Jizhou people in the future." ”

Tang Cheng personally led the team to visit Rongcheng, this is an empty city, also known as a ghost city, this visit, the people of Jizhou City were very touched!

Guo Jie and all the members of the Standing Committee of the Jizhou City Municipal Party Committee, as well as many village cadres in Jizhou City, saw this, and they regretted not being at the beginning! The two Jizhou village officials who had gone to the provincial party committee to petition and ask the provincial party committee to develop the Xionghuang mine only then realized that Shang Zixing's death was true, and they were all blinded and carried away by money, so they made a wrong move. Otherwise, our fate will be miserable! It is said that the male yellow ore we discovered in Jizhou is even bigger than that of their Rongcheng. We also asked the provincial party committee and municipal party committee to develop, and we are afraid to think about it, if it is really Jizhou that has also been developed, we will be sinners for the ages!"

Tang Cheng asked the village cadres to get up, and Tang Cheng said: "After I go back, do you still ask for the development of the realgar mine? Do you also ask that the realgar ore be handed over to foreign businessmen for mining?"

The village cadres wiped away their tears and said: "Even if we are desperate, we will not be able to develop the male yellow mine, in that case, our common people will be even more unlucky, we will suffer faster, and more people will die! ”

Tang Cheng said: "Okay, you can realize this truth, which proves that you are also improving." ”

At this time, among the people of Jizhou who visited, a crowd suddenly cried, and others asked him why he was so sad?

This crowd said: "Now I remember, Shang Zixing is still old, and he is really a good person! A good person really doesn't live long!"

Hearing this, all the people present immediately sighed, and they all shed tears again, and they all felt sorry for the old man Shang Zixing! "Shang Zixing is really a loyal minister of the country!"

The next day, Tang Cheng led the team back to Jizhou City, Gannan Province.

At the same time, the Gannan Provincial TV Station's People's Livelihood Gathering Column Group spent 40 minutes to discuss and report on the pictures and video materials of Tang Cheng's trip to the city, and all what he saw and heard was broadcast. Finally, after the program ended, the host ended the program with a sentence, and the host said: "We, Gannan Province, and Jizhou City, might as well participate in this topic by the whole people, and whether or not we in Jizhou City should mine the realgar mine! Our fate is in our own hands, and everyone can have the right to vote." Voting rights are not only led by the government, but also by ourselves. ”

And this sentence was precisely published at the behest of Tang Cheng.

Since the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has decided to exploit the realgar deposits, the participation of the whole people will form a tremendous pressure and encirclement posture on the Standing Committee.

After this program was broadcast, there was a huge repercussion among the Gannan people!

Tang Cheng personally arranged for the old man Shang Zixing to be sent away! Soon, Comrade Shang Zixing's memorial service was held in Room No. 1 of the Jizhou City Funeral Home. In the farewell hall, in the middle of the mourning hall, there is a portrait of Shang Lao, who is covered with the party flag and lies among the flowers, with a peaceful face. Shang Lao's family members restrained their grief and shook hands with those who came to mourn one by one. Flowers send condolences. Outside the farewell hall, there were wreaths of mourning sent by people from all walks of life in Gannan Province and Jizhou City. Wreaths were piled up like mountains. Tang Cheng and Qin Xiufei, as well as Wei Lei, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Mayor Guo Jie and others sent the couplet.

At ten o'clock, Tang Cheng came to the hall, admired the remains of Shang Lao, bowed three times in front of Shang Lao's body, and then shook hands with Shang Lao's widow and his children. After Tang Cheng, other party and government dignitaries from Gannan Province and Jizhou City also came to bid farewell to Shang Lao's body.

Outside the farewell hall. The number of people who came to say their final goodbyes to Shang Lao continued. By 11 a.m., there was still a line of 8 people and more than 500 meters long outside the door of the farewell hall. The queue was dominated by people who came spontaneously to mourn. There were many gray-haired old comrades in the team, holding photos of Shang Lao in their hands, and they also supported each other. According to the on-site staff in Jizhou, there were tens of thousands of people who came to say goodbye to Shang Lao today.

The representatives of the ten villages near the Xionghuang Mine in Jizhou City are also the people who visited Rongcheng this time, and the representatives of the ten villages, uninvited, staggered to the statue of Shang Lao, all kneeling and kowtowing, crying hoarsely, they said: "Shang Lao, you are righteous, you are the one who saved the people near our Xionghuang Mine! For this, you do not hesitate to die! If it were not for you, we would have opened the mine, then, we may not have survived next year, and our children and grandchildren will all suffer!" Elder Shang, we, we are sorry for you! Your foolish people have come to see you off, Elder Shang, go all the way!" They then presented paper money and gave Shang Lao a ride. The crowd present knelt down one after another, crying, and Tang Cheng's eye sockets were wet again.
