The sound of Wei Zongmin shouting out the loudspeaker immediately attracted the crowd inside and outside the courtyard of the township government compound, and everyone rushed towards the place where the cement prefabricated slab was placed, Feng Mingjiang boarded the cement precast slab, took the microphone from Wei Zongmin's hand, faced the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, hello!" I'm Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate, please be quiet, I have something to say to you! ”

Feng Mingjiang paused, stood on the prefabricated board and looked at the crowd, seeing that most of the people were coming in this direction, Feng Mingjiang then shouted loudly: "Folks! You have been thirsty and hungry here for a long time, you are here today to give you an explanation, I will give you an explanation now, I hope you will listen to my words quietly! ”

"I am here today to solemnly assure the villagers, first, our pilot work of reducing the burden this year is strictly in accordance with the plan, all taxes and fees are strictly in accordance with the collection on the supervision card, any fines, fees, deposits, etc. other than the supervision card, the villagers can refuse to deliver, who reaches out to you, the county party committee, the county government will definitely deal with it seriously."

At this time, I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "County Magistrate Feng, if you want us to believe, you will first remove Wang Haijin, that bastard!" We don't want this director of the soil management department who only knows fines and collects money! ”

Feng Mingjiang paused and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please give the county party committee and the county government a week's time, we will seriously deal with the black sheep that endanger the interests of the villagers, and give the villagers a satisfactory answer!" ”

"The second thing I told the villagers today is that the land management office collects the villagers' construction deposits and fines, and all of them must be refunded to everyone within a week, if they haven't been returned to you in a week, you can go to the county government to find me Feng Mingjiang! Folks, if you believe me Feng Mingjiang, then hurry home! ”

After Feng Mingjiang's two opinions were finished, there was applause in the crowd below, the applause was scattered at first, and then almost everyone began to applaud, Feng Mingjiang continued to shout while the iron was hot: "Folks! It's getting dark, and it's not easy to walk at night, so let's disperse as soon as possible! Hurry up and go home, you are gone, we should sit down and study the problems you raised, and deal with them for you as soon as possible, okay?! ”

As soon as Feng Mingjiang's words fell, someone in the crowd said loudly: "Go home!" Let's go home, everyone! County Magistrate Feng said so, what do we mean by still being here? ”

"Home! Come home," echoed the shouts from the crowd.

People began to leave the township government compound one after another. In fact, most of the people who came to the township government today to really discuss the law, that is, the villagers of Longwanghe Village and Heishishan Village in the Heiyazi Management Area, and other people, especially the residents in the market town, as well as the villagers near the township government's station, came to see the excitement and commotion.

When it got dark, everyone left, and only the exhausted staff of the township government and the leaders from the county were left in the courtyard. Feng Mingjiang jumped down from the cement prefabricated slab platform, walked straight towards the township government office building with a black face, and did not pay any attention to Yang Chunwang, Wang Xueshan, He Anqing and others who followed behind him.

Feng Mingjiang arrived at the gate of the office building and saw Lin Ping greet him, so he spoke: "Township Chief Lin, inform all the team members of your township at home, as well as the personnel from the county, to have a short meeting in your conference room." ”

Gu Zhengshan and Chen Guoyun were chatting in the car, Tao Chunxiao's pager rang, Tao Chunxiao looked at it, it was Feng Mingjiang's secretary He Jinguang sent a Chinese message: "Feng County Governor arrived at the scene and personally dealt with it, the masses have left, and the incident has subsided." ”

Tao Chunxiao turned his head from the passenger seat, and repeated the message on the pager to Gu Zhengshan and Chen Guoyun, Tao Chunxiao finished repeating it, Gu Zhengshan let out a sigh, his body completely relaxed, leaned on the seat, and said, Guoyun, do you think there is an article in this group incident, it was originally a very small matter, but it turned out to be a mass incident.

Chen Guoyun sighed and said, Secretary Gu, our Mao Weiren once had a very classic saying: "After the political line is determined, the cadres are the decisive factor." Therefore, it is our combat mission to train a large number of new cadres in a planned manner. "What a good thing his old man said! I am not praising Comrade Yue Haohan of Wulong Township in front of you, if Xiao Yue was in the township this time, I am sure that today's incident would have subsided long ago, or rather, there would not be such a big disturbance today.

Gu Zhengshan said, Xiaoyue is good! It's a talent. It is a good seedling worthy of our cultivation!

Chen Guoyun said, Secretary Gu, when we encounter an opportunity, people like Xiaoyue, we must dare to use them boldly and unusually, what is a talent? No matter what position you are in, a person who can be independent is a talent.

Gu Zhengshan said: What the National Movement said is very right, and all our achievements in work are inseparable from the role of cadres as a bridge and link. Cultivating and employing cadres is also an important part of our party building work.

It was already more than two o'clock in the evening when Gu Zhengshan and Chen Guoyun returned to Jiangyang, and when Chen Guoyun was about to get off the bus, Gu Zhengshan said, "Old Chen, after going to work in the morning, we will first meet with County Magistrate Feng and the three of us to have a secretary's office meeting, and then we will hold a standing committee meeting."

At a little after nine o'clock in the morning, in the conference room on the fourth floor of the Jiangyang County Party Committee, all the Standing Committee members had already arrived. After Gu Zhengshan, Feng Mingjiang, and Chen Guoyun held a secretary's office meeting, they entered the conference room together and sat down in their respective positions.

Gu Zhengshan looked around at the Standing Committee members, opened his mouth with a serious face, and said, I want everyone to gather together to convene this temporary Standing Committee today, I think everyone knows why this meeting is being held today! Before the official meeting, I would like to tell you an allusion from the Spring and Autumn Period, which is well known to everyone.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Lu recruited his grandson to the palace and asked to use the palace maid to practice and verify the effectiveness of Sun Tzu's art of war, and Sun Tzu happily accepted the task.

Sun Tzu divided the beauties in the palace of King Wu into two teams, designated the two most favored beauties of King Wu as captains, and then began to teach the essentials of drills. After the explanation, Sun Tzu asked the palace maids if they understood, and all the palace maids said that they understood. However, when the grandson actually began to call the shots, the palace ladies did not listen to the instructions, and everyone laughed wildly.

Sun Tzu said: "If the soldiers do not march according to the instructions because the orders are not clear, then the responsibility should belong to the generals." So, he reinterpreted the rules, and gave the order again, and the palace ladies laughed disapprovingly.

At this time, Sun Tzu added, "If the instructions have been explained clearly enough, and the result is still a failure, then the responsibility lies with the officer." So, he ordered to kill the two favorite concubines of King Wu who had been appointed as captains.

Seeing this, Wu Wang Lu hurriedly said that he had understood Sun Tzu's intentions, but he should not really enforce military law. Ignoring the request of King Wu Lu, Sun Tzu insisted on killing the two favorite concubines of King Wu and appointed two other palace maids as captains.

When the grandson gave the order again, no one dared to laugh anymore, and everyone practiced extremely carefully and neatly.

Gu Zhengshan finished telling this story, took a sip from the cup in front of him, and once again scanned the faces of the Standing Committee members. The Standing Committee members were very clear about Gu Zhengshan's intention to tell this allusion, and a few Standing Committee members couldn't help but look at Yang Chunwang, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Yang Chunwang was lowering his head and didn't know what he was pulling on the notebook in front of him, as if he was recording this allusion that Gu Zhengshan was talking about.

Gu Zhengshan put down the cup, raised his voice, and continued, there can be no square circle without rules, discipline and rules are used to restrain people's behavior, especially for our party members and cadres, we must talk about rules! Discipline is a powerful weapon to ensure that we do things correctly, act effectively, and execute in place. Every member of the Standing Committee here must be clear about this......

The Standing Committee held until half past twelve at noon, and it was the first time in the two years that Gu Zhengshan had lost his temper at the Standing Committee in the two years since he came to Jiangyang. At the meeting, Yang Chunwang, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was repeatedly criticized by name several times.

The Standing Committee finally studied and adopted the opinions on the handling of the Wulong Township mass incident:

First, the Wulong Township Government should strictly follow the pilot program for reducing the burden on peasants approved by the county party committee and the county government.

Second, all units directly under the county must report to the county party committee and county government for approval of all acts involving the collection of fees and fines from farmers in pilot villages.

Third, the county land management bureau and the public security bureau should make a profound review of this mass incident to the county party committee and county government.

Fourth, the relevant units immediately removed the director of the Wulong Township Management Office and the head of the Land Law Enforcement Brigade of the Land Management Bureau.

Fifth, the captain of the Public Security Bureau's Public Security Brigade and several policemen who participated in the arrest of people in Longwanghe Village were criticized; Wang Xueshan, director of the Public Security Bureau, personally came forward to apologize to the party Li Ergou.

Sixth, the Wulong Township Party Committee and Government will take the lead in refunding the construction deposits and fines of all households building houses in Wulong Township within three years within one week.

Seventh, a special group was formed by the county discipline inspection commission to clean up and investigate the county's activities involving arbitrary collection of fees and fines from peasants, with emphasis on the peasants' construction of houses and land occupation and planning.

After the Standing Committee went to work in the afternoon, the county party committee office distributed the meeting minutes to all units directly under the county and all townships and towns.

In the afternoon, in the office of Wang Haijiang, the executive deputy county magistrate, Wang Xueshan, the director of the public security bureau, sat on the sofa, frowned, and smoked a cigarette. Bring two bottles of wine and a cigarette, and go on one trip.

Wang Xueshan twisted the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, and said, Fourth Uncle, he scolded Gu Zhengshan next door just to come up with Lao Tzu's foreign appearance, when did the Public Security Bureau apologize to the arrested people? Let Lao Tzu go in person!

Wang Haijiang took a sip of tea and said, Xueshan, listen to me, don't be angry for a while, Gu Zhengshan can't do anything to you, isn't there Yang Chunwang and Secretary Yang in front of you, you can go to Longwanghe Village, Wulong Township to make an appearance.

Wang Xueshan hesitated for a moment and said, Okay, I'll listen to the fourth uncle.

Wang Haijiang said, you will go to Gu Zhengshan's office first and review it verbally.

Wang Xueshan looked at Wang Haijiang in surprise, and asked rhetorically, go to him to review it in person?

Wang Haijiang said, yes, go and review it for him in person. You have to learn to be able to bend and stretch, you didn't find that Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang have been singing and joining together recently; and that Wei Zongmin in your Public Security Bureau, but he has been staring at your position.

Wang Xueshan lit another cigarette and smoked, and said, Fourth uncle, it's really evil, the two of them haven't been able to pee in a pot for the past two years, what's wrong with it lately? Suddenly it changed? There's an evil door in this!

Wang Haijiang said, I have been wondering. I observed that since Gu Zhengshan returned from the investigation of Wulong Township, the relationship between the two of them has changed. I deliberately didn't let Yang Chunwang and you report to Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang this time, to add some trouble, just to observe and observe, what is the attitude of the two of them, I didn't expect their positions to be so consistent.

Although Wang Xueshan, the director of the public security bureau, is not a few years younger than Wang Haijiang, the executive deputy county magistrate, the two are close uncles and nephews. What happened yesterday, the land management office went to collect the building fine, and the land law enforcement brigade went down to cooperate and participate, but in fact, Wang Haijiang arranged for the land management bureau, and later the public security brigade went down to arrest people, which was also Wang Haijiang's intention. The purpose was to create some resistance to Gu Zhengshan's pilot work of reducing the burden on farmers, but he didn't expect things to be so big.

Just when Wang Haijiang and Wang Xueshan's uncle and nephew were chatting in the office, Yang Chunwang, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was in a nervous mood, and when he arrived at Gu Zhengshan's office, Gu Zhengshan was sitting at the desk and looking down at a document without looking up.

In fact, from the moment Yang Chunwang walked into the office door, Gu Zhengshan had already seen him with the peripheral vision of his eyes, consciously pretending to look at the documents attentively, and did not pay attention to Yang Chunwang.

It was the first time for Yang Chunwang to see Gu Zhengshan have such a big temper, and after the Standing Committee, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he felt as if he was being taken advantage of. In fact, Yang Chunwang himself does not have a strong background, after the transfer of the army, he has been working in the Yanshan Municipal Legal Committee, and he is still a section chief in his forties, until the year before last, with the help of a distant relative, through a leader of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to greet him, this is from the section chief of the Municipal Legal Committee to Jiangyang County to serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

After arriving in Jiangyang, Yang Chunwang soon found that Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, was relatively weak in everything, and Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate, was very high-profile and courageous, and Yang Chunwang thought that Feng Mingjiang was younger and had a future than Gu Zhengshan. Yang Chunwang analyzed the pattern of the county, and decisively stood with the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang, which provoked Gu Zhengshan to always have great thoughts about him.

However, after this mass incident, he found that the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang completely agreed with Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, on the same position, and what was even worse was that it seemed that in dealing with the mass incident in Wulong Township, the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang also seemed to have a great opinion of him.

Yang Chunwang walked to Gu Zhengshan's desk and stood still, and said respectfully, Secretary Gu, I came to review with you.

As if he had just discovered Yang Chunwang, Gu Zhengshan raised his head, glanced at Yang Chunwang, and said, Secretary Yang is here, sit, I will sign this document first.

After Gu Zhengshan finished speaking, he continued to look down at the documents, ignoring Yang Chunwang, Yang Chunwang felt that he was not sitting, and it was not right to continue to stand in front of Gu Zhengshan's desk, which was very embarrassing. In the past, when Yang Chunwang came to Gu Zhengshan's office, Gu Zhengshan greeted him warmly and listened to the report politely, like today, it was the first time.

When Yang Chunwang was at a loss, Tao Chunxiao came over from the office next to him, and when he saw Yang Chunwang standing awkwardly, Tao Chunxiao said, Secretary Yang, please sit down, I will pour you tea.

Yang Chunwang glanced at Tao Chunxiao gratefully, and then sat down on Gu Zhengshan's office sofa, Tao Chunxiao gave Yang Chunwang a cup of tea, put it on the coffee table, and then walked to Gu Zhengshan's desk, and said, Secretary Gu, Xiaoyue just called and said, Ye Yunqing and Ye are all about seven o'clock in the evening to rush back to Jiangyang, what do you think will be arranged at night?
