Volume III, Chapter 43 Cyanide Pool

The next day, Liu Junkang and Lao Xing came to follow Zhao Changfeng to the city government, and the members of the leading group for the comprehensive control of environmental pollution in Dalongxi and the personnel from the subordinate bureaus all arrived and waited in the conference room. Minister Wang of the Propaganda Department accompanied a group of reporters to chat and kept saying good things to the reporters. But the reporters all had cold faces, and they didn't seem to buy Minister Wang's account at all. In this world now, good words are the cheapest, and if you don't have some real guys, you just want to send us away with a few kind words, is it possible? Do you think that the kind words of our journalists are as cheap as your kind words? No, absolutely not, our reporters' kind words are clearly priced, not enough price, it is difficult to make us say good things, not to mention that you still have a dime?

The reporters of Tianyang Daily and Tianyang TV have a much better look, after all, they often come to Bibei City for interviews, and they are usually well entertained by the Propaganda Department of Bibei City. Besides, the two media are managed by the Tianyang City Propaganda Department, and they are a family with Bibei City, and the Tianyang City Propaganda Department will certainly not let the media under their jurisdiction blow themselves up.

As for the reporters of the Bibei City TV Station and the "Bibei Information", they are directly within the jurisdiction of the Bibei City Propaganda Department, so there is no need for Minister Wang to do any work.

As soon as Zhao Changfeng entered the conference room, the photojournalists of Tianyang City Television Station and Bibei City Television Station turned on their cameras to record on the spot.

Zhao Changfeng went to the rostrum and delivered a mobilization speech, which was not long, but it was strong and powerful, and he emphasized the discipline of inspecting enterprises on both sides of Dalongxi this time, and then announced his departure.

So the members of the leading group and their subordinates all took their own cars and drove towards Houhe Township. The Tianyang City Television Station has its own interview car, which closely follows the convoy of the leading group for comprehensive management.

The interview car of the Bibei City TV station ran back and forth, shooting from various angles, so as to record all the glorious images of the leading group for comprehensive pollution control in Dalongxi City, headed by Mayor Zhao, with video data.

Minister Wang of the Propaganda Department prepared a car to be responsible for receiving the three media in the place where the Propaganda Department sent a letter to invite them. Xue Yingjie, a reporter from Zhongyuan Daily, Jiang Wenjing, a reporter from Zhongzhou Daily, and Lian Tianshan, a reporter from Tianyang Daily, were invited to board the special car. A reporter from the internal magazine "Bibei Information" run by Pibei City also sat on it and set off with the convoy of the leading group.

The other seven or eight media outlets are all chaotic tabloid reporters, and the media they work for are already limited. I came to these small places in Bibei City to interview, so naturally there would be no special car for interviews. Originally, according to Wang Dachao's intentions, a minibus was also transferred from the bus station in Beibei City to carry these reporters with the team for interviews. I didn't expect him to put down his body just now and get close to these reporters, but he suffered a cold face. Wang Dachao is also the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of a county-level city, and he is endured by the higher-level leaders and looked down upon by his peers in other powerful departments in the city. I endured it too. But how can you stand the anger of these miscellaneous tabloid reporters? No matter how you say it, it's not the turn of these chickens and dogs to make him angry. In addition, Wang Dachao has an opinion on Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Changfeng in his stomach. You become the executive deputy mayor. The pen is tight. I didn't approve any of them, but I was wronged by these bird reporters here. These reporters can report as much as they want. Anyway, you, Zhao Changfeng, are the leader of the leading group for comprehensive environmental pollution control in Dalongxi, and the media has exposed the responsibility of my propaganda department, which may not necessarily be the responsibility of your executive vice mayor. As for Secretary Cai and Mayor Liu, they can scold if they are willing to scold, anyway, I don't have a penny in my hand, so I can't let my wife sell her ass for money to entertain these reporters, right?

In short, Wang Dachao became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and finally simply let the bus of the Beibei City Passenger Transport Company go back, these tabloid reporters, what do they like, even if the day is turned upside down, there is him Zhao Changfeng staring!

Seven or eight reporters were already angry. They all know that Bibei City is a golden city and is very wealthy. So after getting the news this time, I came all the way to fight the autumn wind. I originally wanted to eat and drink, play for a few more days, and finally everyone received a red envelope of 1,000 and 800, isn't this equivalent to their income for more than half a month? But who knows, after arriving in Bibei City, not only did he not expect the red envelope, but he even had to pay for his own food and accommodation. They were already holding back the evil fire in their stomachs, so just now Wang Dachao, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Bibei City, came over to deliver good words, and only then did he beat Wang Dachao coldly, in order to make Wang Dachao understand that they were very angry and the consequences were very serious. If Wang Dachao is sensible, hurry up and stuff everyone with a big red envelope and give one or two gold products, and forget it. But instead of stuffing red envelopes and giving gold souvenirs, Wang Dachao finally walked away, and didn't even give them an official car for interviews! Is it really "tolerable, which is unbearable"?

So a few reporters discussed what to do. One or two shy reporters said that they would interview some citizens in the city. In such a big place, there must be people who know about the pollution situation in Dalongxi, and then they will appropriately exaggerate and exaggerate it according to the situation said by these citizens, and send it back to severely expose the insensitive practice of the Bibei City Government in ignoring the people's right to live and allowing environmental pollution.

The other five or six reporters disagreed, saying that if they were not there in person, how could they write something that was shocking and immersive after reading? Since they have arrived in Pibei City, they must go to the Dalongxi pollution site to have a look, so that they can write a report that is in-depth, shocking, and lethal, so that they can give a wake-up call to the officials and men of the Bibei City Government who disregard the safety of the people's lives, and so that the relevant leaders of Zhongyuan Province and the people of Zhongyuan Province can understand the real situation of Dalongxi pollution. They also said that if they did not go, several reporters from the Zhongyuan Daily, Zhongzhou Daily, Tianyang Television Station, and Tianyang Daily would definitely be bribed by the Bibei City Government to sing praises on television and in the newspapers. If such a situation really happens, wouldn't it be a shame for all conscientious journalists in the world?

So after discussing and discussing, in the end, these seven or eight reporters decided to get together and rent a chartered car, and they must go to the scene of the pollution in Dalongxi to get first-hand information. Although the one or two shy reporters were a little reluctant, they were not easy to refute seeing that everyone was enthusiastic, and they were very dissatisfied with the treatment they had received in the past two days. They gritted their teeth. Also agreed. Think of it as spending money to buy justice! In the future, the newspapers will be full of negative news about Bibei City, and you will be able to look good at the Bibei City Government.

So a few reporters found a van on the side of the road and after some haggling. It was packed at the price of 350 yuan a day. After some painful struggles, the van, which could only seat six people, finally squeezed into eight fat reporters, and drove towards the Xiaoqinling Mountains amid the painful groans of the engine.

When the convoy of the comprehensive management leading group arrived at Houhe Township, Ma Huilai, Secretary of the Party Committee of Houhe Township, greeted Huo Yilu, the head of the township, on the side of the road. Just let the convoy move on. Ma Huilai and Huo Yilu followed behind by car. Dalongxi is mainly in the territory of Houhe Township. This treatment of pollution on both sides of Dalong River is equivalent to treatment of pollution in Houhe Township. They serve as the main leaders of Houhe Township. It is necessary to accompany the visit.

According to Zhao Changfeng's request. The first destination of the convoy of the comprehensive management leading group was the Phoenix Mountain gold mine. The convoy came to the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, and the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine was in full swing and quiet. There was no sound at all. At the gate of the gold mine, Li Dayong, the director of the gold mine, led several mine managers to welcome the arrival of the leading group for comprehensive management.

A few days ago, when the pollution of Dalongxi was exposed by the Central Plains Daily, Luo Daya still had an indifferent mentality. In recent years, China's environmental pollution incidents have been exposed a lot, and there is no final way to deal with them. It's nothing more than eating and drinking, paying a little fine, and everything is done. Later, Luo Daya got the news, Vice Governor Wu Weiping and the Secretary of the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee, the mayor and the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection all gave instructions, and Luo Daya was a little scared.

Luo Daya didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he called Ma Huilai, and after receiving the call, Ma Huilai scolded Luo Daya with a sneer: "You are raised by a prostitute, what is there to be afraid of?" Aren't you here to check? They come to check that you stop production, they leave you continue to produce, who can do you what? Don't forget, the one-third of an acre of land in Houhe Township is the territory of my horse club, as long as my horse club does not fall for a day, your gold mine can continue to produce one day! ”

Although he was scolded by the Jockey Club, Luo Daya was confident in his heart. Since the Jockey Club said so, it means that there is no problem. Production, keep producing! Luo Daya asked Li Daya to continue production, the waste water should be discharged, and the waste residue should be dumped.

Yesterday afternoon, Ma Huilai called Luo Daya and asked him to stop production immediately, because the city had decided that the leading group for the comprehensive management of Dalongxi would come to Dalongxi tomorrow morning to check, "Luo Daya, you prostitute must cheer me up." The Fenghuangshan Gold Mine is the largest mine in Houhe Township, and it has serious conflicts with the villagers of Lishukou Village. This time, Mayor Zhao led a team to inspect, and the first destination was your gold mine. You must pay attention to it, don't poke anything out! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Secretary Ma, don't worry, I know what to do, and I will never cause trouble to your old man!"

Luo Daya hung up the phone, immediately asked the mine to stop production, and then asked Li Dayan to make careful preparations, waiting for the arrival of the leading group for the comprehensive management of Dalongxi in Bibei City.

After Zhao Changfeng got out of the car, Ma Huilai immediately grabbed it and introduced Zhao Changfeng: "This is Li Dayong, the mine manager of Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine. ”

Zhao Changfeng's eyes fell on Li Dayong's dry and thin face, and said, "I saw it last time." ”

Li Dayong hurriedly nodded and said, "Mayor Zhao, you have a good memory." ”

Zhao Changfeng's gaze swept over Li Dayong and landed on the gold mine behind him: "Why can't you hear the sound of the machine?" ”

"Mayor Zhao, our mine is undergoing technical rectification, so the production has been temporarily suspended." Li Dayong has a very good psychological quality, and he doesn't need to make any drafts when he lies.

Zhao Changfeng didn't pay any attention to Li Dayong, turned around and asked Director Li of the Environmental Protection Bureau who was following him: "Are the technicians ready?" ”

Director Li's face bloomed with a smile that was more flattering than Li Dayong's: "Mayor Zhao, everything is ready." ”

Zhao Changfeng felt a burst of disgust in his heart, what is the use of such a sycophant environmental protection director? He nodded and said, "Let's go to the cyanide pool first." ”

So Director Li waved his hand, and the staff of the Environmental Protection Bureau immediately took out several large cardboard boxes, which contained high-end masks, and the leaders present each gave one to each person, and the reporters who accompanied the team also received a pair.

After the masks were all put on, Director Li gave Ma Huilai a look, and Ma Huilai said next to him: "Mine Chief Li, lead the way ahead." ”

Hurriedly said: "Mayor Zhao, Secretary Ma, please here." ”

Under the leadership of Li Dayong, the group came to a huge cement pool behind the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, the water in the pool was yellow-green, and although they were wearing masks, they could still smell a strange smell. Zhao Changfeng knew that it was probably the cyanide pool used in gold mine production.

Cyanide pool gold extraction method is a relatively primitive and backward method of refining gold, generally is to build a cement pool, put the gold ore crushed into powder into the cement pool, and then pour the sodium cyanide solution into the cement pool, after the chemical reaction, the solution flowing out from the bottom of the cement pool is rich in gold, and then replace the gold with mercury and other metals, after repeated extraction, the waste residue of the cement pool is poured out. This is a very polluting method of extraction.

"Director Li," Zhao Changfeng coughed.

Director Li immediately instructed: "Section Chief Wang, immediately take samples and analyze the cyanide content in the wastewater!" ”
