Chapter 309: Environmental Issues (13)

Han Zizai's sudden voice and change of attitude caused the surprise of the county cadres sitting in the same row, and they all turned their eyes to Han Zizai, no one talked about anything, and no one dared to ask questions, so they could only write their questions on their faces.

Secretary Han said nothing in the county, has absolute power and authority, as long as it is a matter or issue that Secretary Han does not want to mention, any objections and questions are not allowed, including the development of mining resources and partners, Secretary Han is unwilling to say, and no one dares to say anything. Although they all know the mystery of it, they are all like Wang Tongjun's thoughts, and they can't say it and dare not say it.

Wang Tongjun said a few words just now, which caused a grim reaction on Secretary Han's face, as well as the expression that seemed to be relieved, but was actually resentful, which made people sweat for Wang Tongjun, but now Han Zizi is unusual, and he wants to take the initiative to talk about these things, and it is to give the powerful Governor Qi, and Tao Ran, who has been eyeing the affairs of Guishui County for a long time, do not understand where Han Zizai's confidence comes from, and they don't know what the ending will be. But intuition and experience tell these cadres in the county that an officialdom fluctuation in Guishui County is about to begin.

No matter how anxious the county cadres were, no matter what speculation they had, in the eyes of Qi Tianxiang and the others sitting opposite, they were very clear, and they also understood where Han Zizai's confidence came from.

That is, when Wang Tongjun reported carefully, Han Zizai seemed to inadvertently take out his mobile phone, perhaps it was the seemingly random action that gave him the confidence to face it, or rather, to give him instructions.

"The development of mineral resources in our county has only begun in recent years, concentrated in several towns and villages in the deep mountainous areas, and the initial stage is mainly small-scale production based on gold mining and processing, which is also between the gold veins are widely distributed, which is not conducive to the actual situation of large machinery and large industrial excavation. With the discovery of rare metals and the restriction of gold and other mining developments, the main focus has been on these areas, and everyone's attention has been on them. Han Zizai said slowly, although frank, but it seems that there is still a choice, and then said: "Pingba Township is the main storage area of rare metals, and it is also a relatively concentrated place, due to the high requirements and difficulty of mining this kind of mineral deposits, the technology and ability of our county have no mining conditions at all. ”

Han Zizai watched Qi Tianxiang listen patiently and calmly, without interjecting or showing too many expressions, he paused and continued: "Although this radioactive metal is rare and precious, due to its own characteristics, it has a great impact on the environment, especially the lives of the surrounding people. For the sake of safety, we have taken a step-by-step resettlement project according to the actual needs, moving the mountain people around the production area out of the mountains, leaving only a small number of people to mine and produce. ”

"There are many ways to control radiation hazards, in addition to the seal treatment, that is, cyanide dilution spraying, which is especially necessary in the later crushing and selection procedures, which also gives rise to the amount and demand for cyanide, and many small workshops exist for these." Han Zizi gradually entered the substantive topic, and he no longer concealed it, but the speed of his speech obviously slowed down, and he slowly looked at Qi Tianxiang and said: "I think that the cyanide plant was only created for gold refining and use, but in fact, it was established for the needs of rare metal mining, and the dilution of cyanide concentrate requires a large amount of water, so being close to the water source is a necessary requirement, which also objectively causes the reality that the cyanide plant is concentrated along the Guishui River." It is because of our lax control that such serious consequences have been caused, and this is indeed a problem that we should reflect on. ”

Qi Tianxiang's calm expression gradually became severe as Han Zizai's difficult narration gradually became severe, and as the problem was gradually revealed, the situation was far more serious than he had imagined. I thought it was just cyanide contaminating the water, but now it seems that the harm of radioactive materials is much greater and more urgent. Although from Wang Tongjun's words that he was talking and stopping, Qi Tianxiang felt that things would not be simple, but he only thought of the handling of practical problems, the power struggle that might be involved, or the exchange of interests, but with Han Zizai's introduction, his intuition told Qi Tianxiang that things would be very complicated, not only involving interests and power, but also very likely that there would be heavyweights or families in Beijing intervening. The specific situation is still difficult to understand and sort out carefully, and it is also a problem that Qi Tianxiang can't think about now, the first thing that comes to mind is safety, which is the current situation in the mountains.

After patiently waiting for Han Zizai to finish speaking, Qi Tianxiang didn't wait for Tao Ran to react, he looked directly at Han Zizai, tried his best to control his tone, and asked softly: "Please tell me truthfully, what is the current situation?" What else was stored at the cyanide plant where the accident occurred? After days of heavy rain and flash floods, will the mining area cause radioactive contamination of the surrounding environment? Is there any guarantee for the safety of people entering the mountain? In addition, the road into the mountain is blocked, is it because of traffic control or mudslides that have broken the road? ””

Qi Tianxiang spoke, without waiting for Han Zizai to answer, he turned his face sideways to look at Zhou Tong, and urgently ordered: "Contact the head of the hall to see where their personnel are now, and inform all the personnel to withdraw first, just say that it is my order, and it must be carried out unconditionally." ”

Zhou Tong saw that Qi Tianxiang's face was a little flushed due to nervousness, so he nodded seriously, stood up and walked out of the conference room, and contacted Fang Jianshe according to Qi Tianxiang's request.

Qi Tianxiang watched Zhou Tong get up and leave, then looked at Han Zizi, didn't say anything more, but waited solemnly for his answer to the question he had just asked.

"Pingba Township is the closest to the mining area, and they have a deputy township chief in the mining area, who reported to me at noon about the situation in the mining area, due to heavy rain for several days, all mining operations have been stopped, and all the staff have been withdrawn to Pingba Township to wait. The situation in the tunnel is not very clear at the moment, but according to the workers who were evacuated from the mine, there was water in the tunnel a few days ago, and they stopped work and withdrew because of the water accumulation in the tunnel. Han Zizai looked at Qi Tianxiang's stern expression, as well as his instructions to Zhou Tong, especially the few problems mentioned, which made Han Zizai also feel the seriousness of the problem, and under Qi Tianxiang's focused gaze, he had to say truthfully: "Because there is no further news, the situation in the mining area is not known for the time being." Don't hide from Governor Qi, you said that the Hongxing Cyanide Plant does store mineral concentrate powder, which is to facilitate better selection, and it is stored in the cyanide plant in stages, and I just know about this situation, and I really don't know whether there is any leakage. One thing is certain, however, that road closures are not traffic controls, but are indeed caused by mudslides. ”

As soon as Han Zizai's words fell, before Qi Tianxiang could react, Tao Ran beside him suddenly stood up, glared at Han Zizai with angry eyes, and asked sharply, "Why didn't you report such a situation earlier?" Guishui County quietly selects rare metals, why not report to the municipal party committee and municipal government for the record? How have the problems that arisen over the past few years been solved? What precautions have you taken to prevent the Guishui County Party Committee and the county government? As soon as Governor Qi arrived here just now, why didn't you truthfully report what you knew? What are you waiting for? What's the intention? ”

Han Zizai was angered by Tao Ran's reprimand, and was very dissatisfied with Tao Ran's unsympathetic questioning, so he stiffened his neck and responded unceremoniously: "Landslides, flash floods, always endanger the safety of the mining area, how to deal with it, who will deal with it, our county has no experience, and there is no relevant technology and personnel equipment, we must not report to the relevant departments in Beijing for instructions, and the experts will instruct how to do it, can we take a response method?" Isn't that also a necessary means of prudent handling? ”

In the face of Han Zizai's confrontation, Tao Ran was choked and couldn't breathe, stared straight at Han Zizai, still standing with a blue face and said solemnly: "I don't listen to your explanation now, but I want you to explain your motives, in view of the prevarication and inaction of your county party committee and county government in this kind of emergency, I announce on behalf of the municipal party committee that I will temporarily suspend your position as secretary of the county party committee, and suggest that the municipal government suspend Wang Tongjun's position as county magistrate at the same time, and wait for the accident to be resolved, and then make further conclusions." ”

After Tao Ran made this decision, he looked around the other side solemnly, sat down indignantly, picked up the cigarette case in front of him, took out a cigarette and lit it, and smoked it in a big gulp, no longer speaking.

The conference room immediately fell into freezing, and the atmosphere instantly seemed to freeze, no one spoke, and even gasped for breath. The decision was too sudden, it seemed sudden, and it seemed like an inevitable result. If a secretary of a county party committee openly contradicts the secretary of the municipal party committee at a meeting attended by leaders at the provincial, city, and county levels, such a result is bound to occur. But the result came a little suddenly, all the officials and officials attending the meeting were difficult to adapt and accept for a while, and the shock could only be that you look at me, I look at you, and convey surprise and fear with their eyes, and the last eyes were on the highest official in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang, waiting for Qi Tianxiang's reaction and response, and then according to the attitude of Governor Qi, make the necessary response.

Qi Tianxiang didn't need to look at it to know that everyone's eyes were looking at him, and he also knew what everyone was expecting in their eyes, the conflict came very quickly, and the result was also a natural reaction, all of which were completed in an instant in front of Qi Tianxiang's eyes, everything seemed inevitable, but after careful planning, it logically caused such a result, and his series of questions were the inducements for this result, and he was inadvertently used by Tao Ran.
