Chapter 620: Freak Prosperity
Qingfeng County is a small county located in the northwest border of Shaanxi Province, with a population of less than 400,000 and eight towns, two townships and one sub-district under its jurisdiction.
However, it is this small county town that is enough to rank in the top 10 in the economic strength ranking of more than 50 counties in Shaanxi Province.
The reason for this achievement is not because of anything else, but because of one thing - coal.
At the end of the 90s, Qingfeng County had more than 600 million tons of proven coal reserves, which as a small county town, although such reserves could not be compared with those large coal mines, but they were not small.
However, the coal mining industry here is chaotic. Although the state has always taken very strict measures to regulate private mining, there are still many small miners in Qingfeng County. There is no way, Qingfeng County is too rich in coal resources, and most of these mines are located on the surface or in shallow formations, which is very easy to mine. Some villagers can even dig a few meters into the ground in the yard to dig out coal, and a family can buy a thousand yuan by digging up a few tons of coal in a day's work. Such a speed of making money really makes outsiders blush!
Driven by profits, even though the local government has repeatedly ordered that illegal mining is not allowed, this situation is still repeatedly prohibited.
There are also some relatively "big" mine owners, such as Qian Datong and his father Qian Million, who have obtained huge benefits and have inextricable contacts with local government agencies. In this way, the government does not manage them so "strictly". Even if the superiors come to check, they are often able to receive the "message" in advance.
Moreover, with the increasing business of coal mines, in order to maintain the "safety" of the mines, to prevent the families of those miners who have accidents from making trouble. Or grab land with people from other mines. Slowly, some people also gathered around the people centered on the mine owner, forming a small group with the nature of an underworld force.
On the surface, there are thugs to support him, and secretly he has the "care" of the officials. This also made these miners increasingly influential in the local area, and many of them were local tyrants within a certain range, the emperor of the soil. It's like a million. is one of them.
Qian Millions is not too early to start, compared to other mine owners, he is relatively late. But he dared to make a move, and he was ruthless to the people around him, and even more ruthless to himself. With this ruthlessness, after a few years of hard work, he made his mess prosperous, and became a leader among the local mine owners. In Liudaogou Town, where he works, no one dares to provoke. Although he only used the money to buy an honorary deputy mayor. However, his power as the deputy mayor is greater than that of the secretary of the town party committee. Because the group of people in the town are basically "raised" by him with money. Cannibalism has a soft mouth. These people have slowly become the habit of looking only for money and a million horses.
A deputy mayor. can actually be the master of the whole town, which is in the domestic political ecology. It's a "spectacle". It can only be said that it is this deformed environment that has created this deformed government.
Qian is a million cows, and his son Qian Datong is even more bullish. In Liudaogou Town, the "big name" of Qian Dashao is known to everyone. With the help of his family, Qian Datong pulled a large number of young people in the street at a young age, fought with people everywhere, and at the same time started smoking, drinking and playing with women early, which was more slippery than his father.
Qian Datong's lust is well-known in Liudaogou Town. Any woman in the town who is a little beautiful, whether it is a yellow flower girl or a married woman, as long as he takes a fancy to it, it is difficult to escape his palm.
It's just that for this Zhao Ling'er, it is an exception.
is used to doing nonsense at home, and Qian Datong slowly develops the temper of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world". But what he never expected was that when he arrived in Beijing, he was swept up by a person who was better than himself. He wanted to use the money to smash Zhao Ling'er down, but he took the money and smashed himself with the money, and smashed it even harder.
Considering that there are not many people he knows in Beijing, Qian Datong endured this breath to his heart. But what he never expected was that this kid named Liu Yufan would dare to personally drive Zhao Ling'er back and send him to Liudaogou Town, Qingfeng County!
When he saw Liu Yufan's move, Qian Datong almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. The heart really responds to that sentence: There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break into!
The strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, aren't you Liu Yufan awesome in Beijing? But when I got here, I came to Liudaogou, which is Lao Tzu's territory, here, if it is a dragon, you have to coil it for me, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down for me! Since you dare to come, let you have a good taste of your Qian Ye's methods!
Qian Datong, who was sitting in the Mercedes-Benz car, stared at the business Buick in front of him with some viciousness, and he really wanted to return to Qingfeng County immediately!
"Yu Fan, go down from here, walk more than twenty kilometers, and you will arrive at Qingfeng County, the county seat of my family." Ling Er took a nap in the car, and at this moment she had woken up, and saw the words "Qingfeng County Exit 1KM" appeared in the sign on the road, and she hurriedly reminded Liu Yufan.
"Okay, pony, get down from here." Liu Yufan hurriedly said to the pony.
Needless to say, the pony has already started to take the steering wheel and start driving towards the ramp. He is an old driver, and driving the highway is really easy for him.
It's just that what made him a little unhappy was that the black Mercedes Benz along the way kept sticking to the back like a dogskin plaster. He is not good at speeding, and he can't shake it off if he wants to.
"Wait a while to get out of the highway, let you see and understand!" Xiaoma is also a temperamental person, although following Liu Yufan has made him a lot more tempered when he was a soldier, but in the face of other people's naked provocations, he still can't calm down.
Out of the highway, the pony began to slowly increase the speed of the car. Although there was a lot of traffic on the highway, with his superb driving skills, he still drove the business car like a swimming fish, and soon threw the car behind him away.
"Damn, it's pretty fast." Seeing that after the car in front of him got off the highway, he ran fast like a convulsive, Qian Datong kept urging the driver to drive quickly, but the driving level between the two people was not at the same level at all. Even if his little brother's eyes widened, he still let the car in front of him run away!
"Hehe, it's useless even if you drive fast. Aren't you going back to Liudaogou Town? Aren't you going back to the village? Anyway, that's the way, I'm still afraid that you will fly into the sky? Qian Datong smiled proudly. Thinking about the "arrangement" he made, he seemed to have seen the panicked look of the kid surnamed Liu.
Seeing that he had successfully flicked off his tail, the pony's face was much lighter, and a smug smile appeared.
"Hehe, pony, you can't drive this car so fast next time, it's too hanging." Liu Yufan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, just experienced the feeling of "Need for Speed". Several times I saw that I was about to crash into the car, but at the last moment, the car twisted away violently, although there was no drift, but the feeling was enough to make people's hearts beat faster.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu, don't worry, I have a good foot under my feet. When I thought about it when I was practicing driving, I drove a big flat head across the Sichuan-Tibet line, which was called a thrill. Driving a car on the highway like this is like driving a toy car, and you can't get into trouble. I just wanted to shake off the tail in the back, so I drove a little faster. Pony explained with a smile.
"Well, did you get rid of it?" Liu Yufan's face became a little solemn when he heard Xiao Ma mention this. Because until now, he doesn't know where those people come from. This feeling of not knowing who the opponent is made him feel very uncomfortable.
"It's long gone, hehe." The pony said smugly. When it comes to his driving skills, the pony is absolutely confident.
"Yes, that's good." Liu Yufan said, and couldn't help but look at the scenery outside through the car window. At this moment, the car has driven into the county seat, and the high-rise buildings have begun to fall backwards.
"Yo, Ling'er, this is your county, it's well built." Liu Yufan sighed. He originally thought that a county in a remote area like this should be very backward and dilapidated. But I didn't expect that after looking around the car, this county town is not old or broken at all, but everywhere shows an avant-garde and prosperous atmosphere, although it is not as modern and atmospheric as Beijing, but it is quite good.
Moreover, Liu Yufan noticed that among the cars that had just staggered by, there were many luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. This kind of ratio, even in Beijing, is rare.
"Well, yes, but it's all because of the coal mines, this place can be so developed, you see those high-rise buildings, are built by some rich bosses and mine owners, the most are hotels, hotels and song halls, this is a place for those rich people to eat, drink and have fun." Zhao Ling'er said, showing a disdainful expression. It's true that it's prosperous, but she doesn't have a good feeling for it. This county town is completely a playground for those who have money. And their happiness is based on the pain of those miners.
Take that million dollars as an example, don't look at him as the deputy mayor now, but when he was the owner of the mine, the crimes he committed can be described as unspeakable! People who only know how to make money, even reluctant to provide workers with the simplest safety protection, not to mention that many workers suffer from pneumoconiosis, and every year there are dozens of people who die in large and small mining disasters, and most of these people's families only receive compensation of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. There are those unconvinced family members who want to go up to sue him, but they are either too scared by the thugs under him to go out, or they are beaten every day! It can be said that every cent of the money he earns is stuck to the blood of the miners!
The car drove through the county seat, and then continued to drive onto a narrower cement road, looking at this road, Zhao Ling'er's eyes couldn't help but eagerly. Because, in a while, she will go to Liudaogou Town, she has not been home for a long time, and the so-called hometown timidity is exactly her mood at the moment.
"Not good!" The pony, who was driving, suddenly let out a low cry and began to should. At the same time, a large truck full of coal that was coming from the opposite side suddenly rushed towards their car as if it had lost control!
