Chapter 154: A Week Later (Part II)

Even if there is an official "Memorabilia" since the reform and opening up of Dayangtun Village, it is difficult for readers to find the content of the contest between the old village chief and Chang Jinzhu between the lines. However, the people of Dayangtun, even the children who have not yet graduated from primary school, believe that this contest has been going on for more than ten years, much earlier than the "old nine" "unveiling the pole", but the village chief does not openly raise a flag to resist Chang Jinzhu like "old nine". According to the information that has been circulating in the village committee for many years, he is ostensibly in harmony with Secretary Chang Jinzhu and his appointed successor in the compound, but secretly continues to take measures to crack down.

As for when the village chief and Chang Jinzhu started to work against each other, the villagers can't say clearly. They didn't know what methods the village chief had quietly used, or whether they had hit the vital point of Chang Jinzhu and his gang, just as they didn't know that this protracted confrontation had been reduced to a show four years earlier.

Since the old village chief took office, he has always had a clean and upright style, so he can have a lot of prestige among the villagers, but what is little known is that he is not strict in governing the family, especially doting on his youngest son. When this kid became an adult, he went to the city alone, and there were no people around him who were completely undisciplined, and his behavior became more and more out of line. Four years ago, he owed a huge loan shark for gambling, to the point where he was being demanded by his creditors. After escaping back to Dayangtun, he asked his father for help, and the old village chief embezzled the public funds of the village committee to help him escape the catastrophe. The old village chief was furious and rewarded his only son with a slap for the first time in his life, and after the slap, the remorse in his heart surged, and he was still at a loss for how to save the little rabbit cub from danger.

At this time, Chang Jinzhu learned the news for some reason. He instructed people to pretend to be a friend of the old village chief's son in the city, and tricked the old village chief into meeting him at a teahouse in the county seat. In the tea room with excellent privacy, as soon as the two met, Chang Jinzhu expressed to the stunned old village chief that he was willing to help their family tide over the difficulties. "How much money your son owes, tell me the amount, I'll pay him back first, and you can pay me back slowly. Don't worry, I don't rush you, I can pay back as much as I can every year, and I don't want a dime of interest. The villagers have been in the village for so many years, and I just helped to save the emergency. ”

The old village chief didn't want to accept this "good intention" in his heart, not only because he didn't want to accept Chang Jinzhu's affection and "eat other people's short mouths", but also because of Chang Jinzhu's proposed method of repaying the money. Chang Jinzhu knew that with the economic level of the village chief's family, this arrears would be enough for them to carry at least 16 or 7 years, so he gave the village chief an idea: transfer the "chess and card room" that had been run by himself to the village chief, and teach the village chief to use its huge "business income" to repay the loan. "When you pay off the money, you don't have to pay me back in the chess and card room, you can keep the annual turnover yourself. ”

This "generous gift" weighed more heavily than the debt, and it involved not only personal grievances or political positions, but also the integrity of his officials. He didn't agree on the spot, but after returning home, he tossed and turned several times at night, thinking that his son's life was threatened, he gritted his teeth, and secretly contacted Chang Jinzhu the next day and agreed to the old opponent's conditions.

In this way, the secret of the casino, which people had always thought belonged to Chang Jinzhu, fell into the hands of the old village chief, and it operated as before, and it was booming. In the past four years, most of the former who owe Chang Jinzhu have been replaced, in fact, if all the annual "turnover" is transferred, there can be more, but the old village chief was blinded by the ill-gotten wealth that flowed into his pocket, so he began to intercept some of it from the second year he took over for his family to improve their lives. Relying on the dirty money that was embezzled one after another, the old village chief's family had a much more prosperous life, but he did not spend time in the village, but bought a house in the city, and his son had a place to live, and his life was free.

Chang Jiucheng officially became the new secretary of the village party committee before the problem of indiscriminate gambling in the village as a part of the work, after the inauguration of the new leadership group of the first plenary meeting, when the "old nine" mentioned this, the old village chief in his heart "groaned" a little, for fear that his identity as the casino owner would be found out, and he would be ruined. Chang Jinzhu, who knew about it, took advantage of his psychology and repeatedly blackmailed him to provide information about "Lao Jiu". Fortunately, after observing the first few weeks, the old village chief found that "Lao Jiu" was preoccupied with his plan to get rich, and had no time to arrange specific measures to sweep gambling, so he breathed a sigh of relief, so he threw Chang Jinzhu some meaningless news out of context, and at the same time planned to get rid of the "chess and card room" as soon as possible.

Until that night, the riots in the "chess and card room" became a key turning point. The old village chief was induced by some rumors, believing that like the rest of the village (except for Chang Jinzhu's family), he did not know that the owner of the chess and card room was actually his "Lao Jiu", and that he had no extra energy or a fair way to pull out the casino in a short period of time, so he planted "spies" among the gamblers, waiting for an opportunity to create friction, make a big incident, and force the casino to close down. At this time, the old village chief had no public intentions to consider this issue, and proceeded entirely from his personal point of view. He believed that "Lao Jiu" would think that it was Chang Jinzhu who was severely injured by closing this casino, but in fact this was the foundation for his family to become rich. As a result, the old village chief had a hatred for "Lao Jiu", and he naturally couldn't imagine that the riot was caused by the gecko gang hired by Chang Jinzhu without knowing it. Chang Jinzhu then inquired about the core secrets of the "Lao Jiu," and he explained them as clearly as pouring beans from a bamboo tube; Chang Jinzhu set up many conspiracies and tricks against the "Lao Jiu," and he was well aware of some of the plots, but he turned a blind eye to them, and sometimes even gave limited cooperation within the scope of his duties. And Chang Jinzhu also promised him that he would not teach him to contribute in vain.

"Well, you know, there's no need to make a fuss. On the balcony on the second floor of the European-style building, Chang Feipeng was answering his mobile phone, "Okay, start it right away, can't be delayed! There's no need to worry so much about this idea, there's nothing else to hang up in advance, I'm very busy at this moment." He hung up the phone of a senior executive in Shiheng.

Although people believed that the culprit of the fire at Li Sanlaizi's house was the village committee led by Chang Jiucheng, the Shiheng leadership, who was very familiar with the situation in Dayangtun, keenly felt that this and a series of other incidents were most likely manipulated by Chang Jinzhu's family. Of course, they only guessed about it, because the police never caught the suspect. But through this fire, they realized the ability and skill of Chang Jinzhu's family in Dayangtun, and they completely understood that if they wanted to build this villa project to save the company's fate, they could only honestly reach a tacit understanding with their family. They no longer urged Chang Feipeng, and called each other, first to climb each other's friendship, and then to inquire about the progress of the construction land project in a sincere tone. "Fortunately, before the fire, we didn't make it clear to them that it was possible to cooperate with Chang Jiucheng. If we use this to force their family, they will dare to set fire to our construction site in the future. After a phone call, a senior executive of Shiheng said with palpitations.

The change in the developer's attitude made Chang Feipeng's tone turn sideways when dealing with them. Not only did he deliberately postpone the start of construction by more than two months, but he also asked a construction team close to him to get involved in the construction of the villa, and booked a rebate before breaking ground. Putting away his phone, he walked to the bedroom door and saw his wife and son.

Jin Xing sat on the bed and played with the soldiers, she read a nursery rhyme in her mouth, her hands rippled with her son's little hands, and a sweet smile appeared on her bitter face. "Bingbing, let's go, grandpa has peeled a big almond for you downstairs!" Chang Feipeng strode into the bedroom, opened his big hand, and gently separated the hands of the mother and son. Jin Xing couldn't help but squeeze it, and when she saw the child's uncomfortable face, she hurriedly let go of her hand and watched her husband pick up the soldiers and walk out. The husband's broad shoulders could not hide the ignorant and reluctant eyes of her son, who was looking back at him, and her gaze was closely opposite to this gaze, until the figure of father and son turned out of the bedroom door and disappeared.

When Chang Feipeng called, Chang Jinzhu and Chang Feihu were still downstairs and continued to talk. "Dad, although Lao Jiu has collapsed this time, in the fields, mountains and woodlands, and those trees that have been cut down, we have given too much profit. Chang Feihu was puzzled as to why his father instructed the village committee to give such a high compensation to the villagers, "It means that in the end, we were busy for half a day, and most of the money from the land on these mountains was taken away by the villagers, isn't it...... "You're about to become a secretary, you have to think ahead." Chang Jinzhu confidently taught his eldest son with a smile, "According to the level of our village, what they have is a lot of money, but this money is enough to buy a two-bedroom and a living room in a decent building, let alone live there." Therefore, after taking so much money, they have to be trapped in this poor ravine, and they are trapped here, so they can't invest all their money outside. There is no way for them to fiddle with money in the village, and they are all used to being poor, and they are reluctant to buy more when they see that the things in the city are expensive and unaffordable, and they can't spend much money, and they have to feel that they are a loser when they spend a third. You say, they have nothing to do in the future, and where can they spend the rest of the money in our village?" In the end, most of the money compensated to them will have to flow back to the field, even if you give the old village chief a big head, then forty percent is not a lot!"

The "field" is a newly opened casino, which belongs to the supporting buildings of the villa area. Chang Jinzhu and Shiheng agreed that this project should not only build residences, but also build corresponding leisure and entertainment facilities, which is called the continuation of the idea of "Emei Health Valley" to attract passing tourists. The new casino is a three-storey building he built according to the hobbies of the villagers of Dayangtun, and its signboard is called "Entertainment Center", which contains all kinds of games that the villagers are familiar with for gambling.

Chang Jinzhu stopped peeling almonds, glanced at his eldest son, and said earnestly: "Feihu, you are about to take over, don't follow Feipeng's old path." There are a few things I have to explain to you, I didn't even say to Feipeng at the beginning. Alas, if I had told him, he wouldn't have been rectified by Lao Jiu so quickly. "Father, you say, I'll listen. Chang Feihu listened respectfully.

"Being an official is the same as doing anything else, you have to know how capable you are. I said bluntly, the highest thing in our family is to be the secretary of the village party committee, and no matter how much the director, county magistrate or even mayor is higher, we can't be it. Only if you have the ability to be the secretary of the village party committee, you can be your secretary obediently, and you have to be a bigger official. ”

"If you want to be the secretary of the village party committee, you will be in Dayangtun. This Dayangtun is our base area, and if we hold the base area, our family business will prosper from generation to generation. Having said that, with the support of the family business, you, the secretary of the village party committee, must also have a degree of oil and water. In officialdom, how much oil and water you should catch is matched according to the size of the black gauze hat you wear, and if you don't catch more than the amount that is allocated to you, it will not be easy to attract people's attention, and you will not get into trouble. If you are not satisfied, you don't have enough to fish, in the words of the person in Ou Luochuan, you have walked on a tightrope, and there is a mistake waiting to be found out as a typical example of corrupt elements. The director of the local taxation bureau I mentioned to you, he was just greedy and couldn't chew too much, and when he saw that he couldn't finish making money, he ended up in jail, right?"

"With this degree, you will be able to be more stable in the officialdom, and you will not force them to a dead end against the people below. If you force these people to have no way to live, can they not go out and rebel against you? Feipeng just didn't understand this, and insisted on forcing Li Sanlaizi to teach Lao Jiu to take advantage of the loophole, I thought that he would understand without saying it. You'll have to remember for me, don't push the people down there into a dead end. Otherwise, not only will they rebel, but they will also bring in reporters. That's right, reporter, no matter what you're doing sitting in your seat, don't do anything to recruit reporters, it's not easy to get rid of them. In these years, the news spreads quickly, and when the time comes, even a little thing can be spread by these people and the whole world will know, then it will not only be you who will suffer, but the whole family will have to be involved. Lao Jiu is too careless in this regard. ”

"There is another important thing, pinch the amount and give the people below some sweetness to taste. Our big Yangtun base is poor, but the dog can also squeeze three catties of oil, and it is easy for us to slap our butts and leave when we can't squeeze it. The problem is that now, you can't take all the oil you and your people from, so you can divide some of it for the people below. Of course, you don't have to be too generous, what you give them is just plucking hairs for you, but it is a life-saving rain for them. They have benefited from you and are worried about your good, so they will not rebel against you. Now many village cadres scrape the ground and hate to scrape the ground, leaving nothing for the people below, and people can't even rub the dregs of ideas, so it's strange if they don't make trouble and petition!"
