At this moment, a middle-aged man with a sickle pointed at a young man and said loudly: "Liu Ermeng, what are you doing, the reeds here have been growing since ancient times, why do you say that it is your family?" ”

The weather in Wanghai County in June and July has begun to get hot, and the middle-aged man is shirtless, and his dark skin is shiny with sweat. When he says a word, he has to wipe a handful of sweat.

"Why, I sue you, this area is my duck's family, you cut down all the reeds, what will happen to our ducks?" The young man in the short-sleeved camouflage shirt on the opposite side said menacingly: "You black-hearted fellows, you took the money from outsiders, and you came to cut my family's reeds, and you will pay for my ducks and our land." ”

"Liu Ermeng, don't be unreasonable, when did your family raise ducks? Even if you raise ducks, the reed beach outside is still so big, you just need to find a place to raise them. The middle-aged man wiped his sweat again, and said with the people next to him: "Also, how did this land become your family?" ”

"I don't care, this is where our ducks are raised, if you want to cut the reeds, you must pay me money, otherwise you will fuck me off." Liu Er shook his fist viciously.

There were several young people beside Liu Ermeng, and they all started to coax. There were also a few people standing on the middle-aged man's side, and there were several middle-aged women with sickles around him, and a woman walked up, pointed at Liu Ermeng and scolded: "Liu Ermeng, you black-hearted ghost, you have no conscience when you ask for these black-hearted money!" If you want money, take a sickle and cut the reeds. Ten dollars a day. ”

"Hehe, Aunt Liu, it's none of your business, you just need to let the big boss from Yuedong come forward." Liu Ermeng seemed to be a little stunned when he saw this middle-aged woman, and said with a smile.

At this time, someone suddenly found Bao Feiyang and Tu Xiaoming in the distance, and shouted: "Look, the boss of Fangxia Paper Company is here!" ”

Tu Xiaoming also found a familiar face in the crowd at this time, so he strode over. Frowning. He said to a man in his forties and fifties who looked very thin, "Village Chief Wu, what's going on? ”

"Tu, Tu. That's how it goes. That Liu Ermeng was a gangster from Liu Wei nearby. When he saw us cutting the reeds, he said that the reed fields belonged to his ducks, and that he would not let us cut the reeds. He also said that he would ask the boss to compensate you. The emaciated man is also the head of Xinhe Village, a nearby village, named Wu Changguang, because their Xinhe Village is the closest to the plot of Fangxia Paper Company, so Tu Xiaoming contracted them the work of cutting reeds, because they needed to clear out a hundred acres of land at once, but Xinhe Village got a lot of income at once with labor fees.

Perhaps because the news spread in the nearby village, Liu Ermeng, a gangster from another nearby village called Liu Wei, brought a team of people here to prevent the people of Xinhe Village from cutting reeds, and the two sides were facing each other, and there was about to clash.

"Hey, you're the boss of that Fangxia Paper Company in eastern Guangdong?" Liu Ermeng turned his head to look at Tu Xiaoming: "It's good that you're here, hehe, I'll tell you, the reed field here is where our family puts ducks, and now you want to cut off all the reeds here, then you have to pay me money." ”

Tu Xiaoming frowned and glanced at Liu Ermeng: "Are you putting ducks here?" Why haven't I seen ducks when I've been here before? I don't see any ducks here, do you? ”

"Hey, I said, why are you a big boss so unreasonable? There are so many of you, of course, you scared my ducks away, that's why I asked you for my ducks' money. Liu Er tilted his neck and said loudly.

Bao Feiyang was just about to speak, Tu Xiaoming made a gesture at him, then looked at Liu Ermeng, and said with a smile: "What if I don't pay?" ”

Tu Xiaoming's work experience may not be much, but his knowledge is very extensive, like this kind of local things, if you know that the other party is ripping off the bamboo, or satisfy the other party very easily, the other party will definitely get an inch. So you can't let it in the first place.

"No compensation? If you don't pay you, don't want to continue cutting the reeds, you don't have to leave, let your second master teach you how to be a man. Liu Ermeng held a wooden stick in his hand, lightly tapped his palm, and suddenly took two steps forward, forcing in front of Tu Xiaoming.

Here are two people, Bao Feiyang and Tu Xiaoming, how can Bao Feiyang let Liu Ermeng be rough? He took a step forward and was about to drink Liu Ermeng. didn't want Liu Ermeng to make a move in advance, so he reached out and grabbed Tu Xiaoming's collar.

"Feiyang, this kind of little shrimp, you don't have to do it!" Tu Xiaoming saw that Bao Feiyang was about to get started, so he waved his hand at Bao Feiyang. He is also a soldier before, how can he be afraid of a gangster like Liu Ermeng? His body flashed, let go of Liu Ermeng's arm, and then reached out and grabbed Liu Ermeng's wrist and twisted it violently.

"Ahh

"Hey, hey, how can you hit someone!"

"Stop, let go." Behind Liu Ermeng, several people immediately rushed up and said nonsense.

Seeing that these people were all holding guys in their hands, Bao Feiyang was worried that Tu Xiaoming would have something wrong. took two steps forward, stood beside Tu Xiaoming, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop, I'm the deputy county magistrate Bao Feiyang, what are you doing?" ”

"Deputy county magistrate?" These people were startled at first, and then looked at Bao Feiyang with suspicious eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Pull it down, you said that it was the secretary of the deputy county magistrate and there was a letter, Mao didn't grow up, just like pretending to be the deputy county magistrate, you are blind when we are blind?" ”

Bao Feiyang motioned to Tu Xiaoming to let Liu Ermeng go, and took out his work card from his body: "This is my work card, you can take a look." ”

Tu Xiaoming let go of Liu Ermeng, Liu Ermeng hugged his arm and glared at Tu Xiaoming viciously, at this time several other young people looked at each other, and one of them took Bao Feiyang's work card and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Most of these young people are in their twenties and thirties, and most of them are idle gangsters in the village, although they have never seen a work permit from the county government. But when I saw the national emblem and the red official seal on it, I subconsciously felt that the work card was real, and the photo above was indeed exactly the same as Bao Feiyang in front of me. I don't think this young man will make a fake work permit in advance in order to coax them.

And they already know that Tu Xiaoming is the rumored big boss of Guangdong Dongfang Xia Paper Company, and the young man in front of him, who looks a little too young, is with Tu Xiaoming, and his identity should not be fake. But if he is really the county magistrate of Bao Feiyang Bao, this is too young, right?

"Brother Meng, still, is he really the deputy county magistrate?" Several people got together and muttered a few words, and then handed Bao Feiyang's work card to Liu Ermeng's eyes.

"What's wrong with the deputy county magistrate, the deputy county magistrate can't be unreasonable." Liu Ermeng hugged his arms. Glancing at the work card. I was a little timid in my heart, but I refused to give in, and deliberately made an unconvinced look and crooked my neck and said.

"You're right!" Bao Feiyang smiled and said, "Don't talk about the deputy county magistrate." Even if the county magistrate and the secretary of the county party committee come, they can't be unreasonable. Right? Since you have to be reasonable. So can you sue me now, you are holding these guys and blocking the people of Xinhe Village. Don't let them cut the reeds, what is the reason? ”

When Bao Feiyang first spoke, he still had a smile on his face, and when he said that, his face couldn't help but sink, Liu Ermeng and the others suddenly felt a little cramped, and no one dared to speak. In the end, Liu Ermeng mustered up the courage and said: "County Magistrate Bao, since you want to be reasonable. Okay, let me ask you, did the people from Xinhe Village come here to cut reeds, did you agree with Fangxia Paper Company? ”

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Yes, we agreed." Since you are from a nearby village, you and your companions should also know that Fangxia Ceramics Group in eastern Guangdong will build a carton factory in our county, which needs to use this land, so Fangxia Paper Company hired the villagers of Xinhe Village to cut out the reeds on the plot, and then level the land, build a plant, and carry out production, and then we will have a large enterprise with an output value of more than 100 million yuan in Wanghai County, and the company will buy raw materials, daily necessities and services from us, and will also recruit workers. Our farmers in Wanghai County do not need to go to Shencheng and eastern Guangdong to work in the future, and they can go to work next to their homes to earn money. ”

These young people want to rip off the bamboo, it seems that they are all idle gangsters in the village, such people are very common in Wanghai County, on the one hand, there are personal reasons, on the other hand, there are also social reasons, because Wanghai County's industry and commerce are underdeveloped, most of these young people graduated from junior high school, and even stopped studying without finishing junior high school, and they couldn't find a job, so they "mixed" in society. If there are more job opportunities, there will certainly be a lot fewer young people in rural towns and villages.

Sure enough, hearing Bao Feiyang say this, several young people looked moved and exchanged glances with each other. At this time, I saw Liu Ermeng wave his arm: "County Magistrate Bao, what you said is really nice." But if you deceive others, you can't deceive me. I don't know what kind of tricks you guys are doing? What is the use of Fangxia Paper Company's project, no matter how big the benefits are? Even if there is a big benefit, can it really fall on our people? Let's just talk about these reeds, why is it that they can get money in Xinhe Village, but we people in Liuwei Village don't have money to get it? Didn't the people of Xinhe Village also say just now, these reeds are not my Liu Ermeng's, they are ownerless, so why can you Xinhe Village take money? ”

"Xinhe Village was able to get the money because he helped us cut the reeds, and our Fangxia Paper Company had to pay them wages." Tu Xiaoming said coldly on the side, he was very disgusted by the gangster in front of him who took the lead in making trouble. Liu Ermeng, these people are simply ruining the reputation of Wanghai County. Of course, Tu Xiaoming knows that as an investor, he hates such things as extortion and extortion by local ruffians and hooligans.

"Salary, that's a good idea!" Liu Ermeng sneered: "I don't believe it, it's obviously the money to buy reeds, Xinhe Village has a share, and we must also have a share in Liu Wei Village." ”

"Liu Ermeng, you are messing around, didn't you just say that you raised ducks here, and now you say that you want to share the money, I only understand now, it turns out that we cut reeds in Xinhe Village to get money, and the people in your Liu Wei Village are red-eyed? If you want, you can let your village chief Liu Baolin come over, I'll see if he has this face! Wu Changguang, the head of Xinhe Village, jumped to his feet and shouted.

Bao Feiyang looked at Liu Ermeng thoughtfully, he could now see that Liu Ermeng was probably not purely rippling, and there should be some other ideas.

"Alright." Bao Feiyang waved his hand violently, no matter what Liu Ermeng's other thoughts were. His current approach is also unacceptable: "Liu Ermeng, no matter what you think, you should not prevent the people of Xinhe Village from cutting reeds, because they are employed by Fangxia Paper Company; You can't even take these sickles and carry them, because if you hurt someone, none of you can afford to do anything but problems. ”

"No, why can they get money in Xinhe Village, but we don't have Liu Wei?" Liu Er suddenly saw that Bao Feiyang was blindly reasoning with him, and the timidity in his heart gradually disappeared. The brute force also came up. Tilting his head, he said unconvinced.

Bao Feiyang glanced at Liu Ermeng, turned his head to Wu Changguang and said, "Village Chief Wu, please send someone to inform Liu Wei's village branch secretary and village head immediately." Let's just say that the county government's bag is flying here. Let him come over at once. ”

Wu Changguang hurriedly agreed: "Okay." I'll arrange for someone to let you know. ”

Seeing Wu Changguang walking to the side and asking people to inform the village party secretary and village chief, Liu Ermeng took two steps closer to Bao Feiyang, and asked seriously: "Are you really the county magistrate Bao?" ”

Bao Feiyang said: "Not bad. If you have any ideas, you can just tell me, I want to hear the real situation. ”

Liu Ermeng hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, let's wait for our village chief to come, I can't tell." ”

Bao Feiyang couldn't help laughing: "It seems that your actions are really premeditated, is it that your village thinks that Xinhe Village has money to take, but you Liu Wei don't, so you want to destroy it and get a piece of the pie?" ”

"Hey, how do you know so well?" Liu Ermeng looked at Bao Feiyang in surprise.

Bao Feiyang smiled: "It's not difficult to guess, Village Chief Wu also said it just now." But no matter what your reasons are, I can't obstruct the construction, and the next time there is such a thing, I will definitely be severely punished. ”

Bao Feiyang slapped Liu Ermeng twice, and Liu Ermeng's heart that had just calmed down beat the small drum again, and the sound kept ringing, but his face refused to admit defeat, and deliberately made a disapproving expression.

Bao Feiyang didn't bother to say anything to a guy like Liu Ermeng, and stood aside with Tu Xiaoming holding his arms.

The secretary of the village branch and the village head of Liu Wei Village are Liu Baolin, and he is actually hiding not far away. Hearing someone shouting, he quickly appeared in front of Bao Feiyang, Bao Feiyang pointed to the endless sea of reeds, and said to Liu Baolin: "Secretary Liu, what do you think of this sea of reeds?" ”

Liu Baolin smiled dryly: "Hehe, this is the most valuable resource in our Wanghai County, I heard that it can be used to make paper?" ’

"Yes, reeds can make paper, but we don't have a paper mill in Wanghai County, so these reeds are useless at all. Fortunately, Fangxia Paper will invest in the construction of a paper mill in our county, and these reeds will soon be useful. Bao Feiyang said: "The Fangxia Paper project has been put into operation, which is of great significance to Wanghai County, and it is also a great opportunity for Liu Wei Village and Xinhe Village. ”

"Yes, thanks to County Magistrate Bao for introducing this project, County Magistrate Bao is the lifesaver of our Wanghai people." Liu Baolin said with a smile, at first glance, he was a delicate and calculating character.

Bao Feiyang knocked Liu Baolin a few words, and also figured out that Liu Ermeng's obstruction of Xinhe Village to cut reeds was indeed not a simple extortion.

Chengang Township is the least densely populated township in Wanghai County, with vast tidal flats and a population of only a few tens of thousands. Usually the scope of an administrative village is relatively wide, and the land in Fangxia Paper Industry Circle is relatively large, and the plots are mainly concentrated in Xinhe Village, Liu Wei Village and other places, but the land for the first phase of the project is mainly in Xinhe Village.

Unlike farmland, these tidal flats are also in the area of each village, but these lands are not strictly collective, but state, so the cost of land acquisition is very low, because there is wasteland everywhere, and these wastelands do not need to be acquired. On the other hand, village groups such as Xinhe Village and Liu Wei Village did not receive much benefit from land acquisition.

The land for the first phase of Fangxia Paper's project is mainly in Xinhe Village, so Tu Xiaoming reached an agreement with the village that the village will organize people to harvest the reeds on the plot, and Fangxia Paper will pay wages, which is tens of thousands of yuan.

Tens of thousands of yuan is not much, but for a village like Liu Wei, tens of thousands of yuan can do a lot of things. Therefore, the people of Liu Wei Village were unwilling and favored Xinhe Village, so there was something about Liu Ermeng coming forward to make trouble. They just figured out this way to get some money from Xinhe Village.

Unexpectedly, Xinhe Village would not give an inch, so it almost caused a bloody conflict, but fortunately Bao Feiyang arrived in time.

"County Magistrate Bao, we also know that this is wrong, but the people of their Xinhe Village can cut reeds, and our people in Liu Wei can also do it, why can only the people of Xinhe Village have money, but we don't? We can also send someone to cut the reeds! Liu Baolin said.

"Secretary Liu, you want to take the initiative to live, which is very good. However, as I said earlier, no matter what you think, don't interfere with the smooth progress of the project, you can go through the normal way, or you can report directly to the county, and the county will definitely consider making corresponding arrangements. Seeing that Liu Baolin wanted to speak, Bao Feiyang waved his hand and motioned for him to let him finish his words first.

"As for the matter of cutting reeds, I don't think you need to fight, Fangxia Paper is about to start construction in an all-round way, and it needs a lot of labor, I think you can prepare now, don't have enough personnel at that time." Bao Feiyang patted Liu Baolin's shoulder, there are indeed some mistakes in the county in the matter of cutting reeds, I didn't expect such a small amount of work, but it is like a baby bump below, there are still people scrambling, and there will be more and more construction projects in the future, to avoid similar things happening, certain arrangements must be made.
