The agenda of the executive meeting of the municipal government has been prepared for a long time. All of them have written materials and send them to the cadres attending the meeting a few days in advance.

Li Rujun made relatively adequate preparations and wrote a detailed report. The origin, development process, and current status of the paper industry in Qixing District are all listed, and I read the report in a frustrated tone for a full thirty minutes before I finished reading it.

Li Rujun is not a "veteran cadre" of Qixing District, when Qixing District was upgraded from a county to a municipal district the year before last, he was released from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and he was the executive deputy head of the district at that time, and he only took up the post of district a year ago

Therefore, Li Rujun's report is very "calm and relaxed", quite "objective", basically putting himself out of the matter, and looking at the pollution of the paper enterprises in Qixing District from the perspective of a bystander.

According to Li Rujun's report, the paper industry in Qixing District originated in the late 70s, about seven or eight years ago, and built the first state-built paper mill. For quite a long time, Qixing County was this paper mill, and the scale was not large, with only a few dozen workers. The paper industry in Qixing District "boomed" and began in the late eighties. At that time, the paper mill in Qixing County had been losing money year after year, making ends meet, and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

This was a common phenomenon in most small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises a few years ago.

In eight or eight years, Qixing County Guojian Paper Mill was officially contracted by the original workshop director of the factory. The workshop director was a talent, and after the contract, he carried out drastic reforms to the factory, and soon came back to life and began to make profits.

Because Qixing District is rich in wheat straw resources and paper mills have sufficient raw materials, seeing that the paper mills are profitable, a large number of people immediately become fragrant and gluttonous, and soon after, large and small paper mills are all over several major towns and villages in Qixing County. Started production at full capacity, and over the years, made a lot of money. It has created thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in revenue for the county.

At present, the paper mill in Qixing District has become one of the pillar industries in the district.

In the eighties and nineties, the Chinese people basically did not have any concept of environmental protection, but environmental pollution will not appear because the masses have no concept. A few years have passed, and the pollution of the Seven Star District has reached a shocking level.

Not long ago, the unbearable masses finally gathered and "besieged" the Qixing District Party Committee and District Government, frightening Li Rujun, secretary of the Qixing District Party Committee and head of the district, to flee and hide in the city for a whole day. It was the city that sent Vice Mayor Qian to Qixing District to do work for the masses in person, which temporarily quelled the incident.

But the impact of this kind of mass incident is also huge. Once the prestige of the party committee and the government plummets, it will take a long time for the influence to fade. Moreover, there is inertia in group events. If it is not handled well, it will trigger a second and third time. Of course, the scale may not be as big as the first time, but considering the group events in the Seven Star Regions, with thousands of people participating, if it really triggers a second or third time, even if the scale is only one-tenth, it will be quite impressive.

Li Rujun reported that in view of this mass incident, the district has already taken measures to prescribe the right medicine for the masses to do in-depth and meticulous ideological work, and the mood of the masses has been alleviated and will not cause trouble again.

As for the specific measures, Li Rujun did not say it clearly, all the gentlemen here are all middle and veterans, who doesn't know it in their hearts?

Generally speaking, it is "capture the thief and capture the king first". If you find out the few leaders who instigated the trouble, or use affection or reason, or induce them to benefit, or threaten them, you will always put them in order. The latter two are particularly effective. If you are obedient and don't make trouble anymore, then you will be given some benefits, if you don't know each other, you dare to cast again, hehe, the iron fist of the people's dictatorship is not vegetarian.

In later generations, it seems that it is more effective to directly hire hooligans and gangsters in society to see and iron rods instead of the iron fist of dictatorship.

Naturally, such measures cannot be written in black and white on the report, and everyone tacitly understands it.

Liu Weihong's eyebrows frowned slightly.

From Li Rujun's report, I did not hear half a word about controlling environmental pollution, nor did I hear half a word about rectification. Basically, it was a report on the situation and the measures to deal with the mass incident.

As long as the masses no longer make trouble, the higher-level leaders will no longer pursue it.

Throughout the 90s, there were many such mass incidents, not to mention endlessly, at least they were not strange. The official hats of the main local leaders and cadres have never been associated with large-scale mass incidents.

The so-called "one-vote veto" was also a new term at the time.

In the 90s, the real minefield of the "one-vote veto" led by the main leaders of the grassroots political power was family planning. Quite a few township leaders have lost their yarn because of poor family planning. However, it only reaches the township level, and rarely rises to the county level.

Li Rujun's attitude, although it is not positive, is normal according to the current officialdom ecology.

After all, not everyone has more than 20 years of memories like Liu Weihong.

Lu Dayong's brows also furrowed slightly.

To tell the truth, Lu Dayong is also very entangled in the issue of paper mills and environmental pollution. Specific to Jinghua City, the hardest hit areas of environmental pollution by papermaking enterprises are the two districts in Jiangbei, of which Qixing District is the most serious. If we really make up our minds to close down all the paper mills in the two districts of Jiangbei and carry out rectification within a time limit, it will not be impossible. There must be a rebound in the zone, but it can be suppressed. In any case, the state also has an environmental protection bureau, and it is okay to make a fuss about this.

The key is that, from the perspective of the whole province, the pollution of paper enterprises, Qixing District is just a "small witch", and compared with other cities in Jiangbei, it is not at the same level at all. According to the latest statistical results, there are nearly 200 papermaking enterprises in the province. This is still officially approved by the relevant government departments and registered, and some small-scale "underground processing workshops" are not counted.

Lu Dayong's thunderous means against the paper mill in Qixing District in Jinghua City will inevitably make the provincial leaders have ideas in their hearts. I thought that Lu Dayong was rectifying the papermaking enterprises in Jinghua City to express a certain "dissatisfied" mentality to the province.

In officialdom, it is very taboo to be "unconventional". The higher the status, the heavier the taboo.

Thinking so in his heart, Lu Dayong's eyes couldn't help but sweep over Liu Weihong's face. Just now in the office, Liu Weihong made it clear that the city's economic construction and rectification can start from the aspects of paper mills and environmental pollution.

Liu Weihong bowed slightly.

Lu Dayong said slowly: "Comrade Weihong, Ningyang District has introduced the largest papermaking enterprise in the city, and after the completion of Baichuan Paper Company, the production capacity will exceed the total number of existing paper mills in the city. How do you plan to solve this problem of environmental pollution? ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Dayong's question is not strange.

Liu Weihong is nominally an assistant to the mayor, but his actual position is that of the secretary of the Ningyang District Party Committee. On the issue of environmental pollution in Qixing District, it is really inappropriate to ask the secretary of the Ningyang District Party Committee to share his views. Does Lu Dayong want Ningyang District and Qixing District to fight in the ring?

"Okay, I'll talk. If there is anything inappropriate, please ask Mayor Lu, District Mayor Li and comrades to criticize and correct. ”

Liu Weihong did not shirk at all, then straightened his body and said loudly.

The juxtaposition of District Mayor Li and Mayor Lu is naturally because this matter is related to Qixing District, and pointing out Li Rujun's name is also a polite meaning.

Li Rujun hurriedly said: "Please Secretary Liu instructs." ”

This is to put a high hat on Liu Weihong and treat him as the leader of the municipal government.

Everyone's ears suddenly stood up, and the dull atmosphere of the conference room was shaken. After Liu Weihong arrived in Jinghua, he attended several meetings of the executive meeting of the municipal government and the mayor's office meeting, but he rarely spoke, usually with ears and no mouth. He is not in charge of work in the city government, and his identity as a "prince of one party" is indeed not very easy to speak.

Everyone wants to hear what Secretary Liu has in mind.

Although Liu Weihong is young and famous, the cadres attending the meeting are more curious about Secretary Liu's governing philosophy.

"Mayor Lu just said that the introduction of Japan's Shirakawa Paper Company in Ningyang District is currently under construction, according to the design scale of Shirakawa Paper, after completion, it is expected to have an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons, and the total annual sales are expected to reach 1 billion yuan. It is indeed more than the current production capacity of all the paper mills in the city combined. According to the general understanding, the larger the production capacity of Shirakawa Paper, the more serious the pollution caused to the environment. But that's not the case. Shirakawa Paper will not use straw pulp as a raw material for papermaking, but will use imported log pulp as a raw material for papermaking. The pollution of raw wood pulp to the environment is far less serious than that of grass pulp. In addition, before the official completion and commissioning of Baichuan Paper, it must be accepted by the environmental protection department and qualified before it can be put into production. In other words, Shirakawa Paper is not allowed to discharge sewage directly, and the wastewater must be environmentally treated to meet the discharge standards before it can be discharged from the factory. In fact, the pollution of paper mills is not unavoidable, the key is environmental protection equipment and environmental protection measures, which must be in place. In this way, a win-win goal can be achieved. Businesses are profitable and the environment is protected. ”

"Therefore, I believe that in order to keep the masses from doing things, we must fundamentally solve the problem. For some paper mills that do not meet environmental protection standards, they will be closed for rectification. Only after the environmental protection standard can production continue. Otherwise, it will have to be closed. If we blindly pursue economic benefits and completely ignore environmental protection, it will definitely not work. We cannot sacrifice the health of the masses of the people in exchange for tax and fiscal revenues. ”

Liu Weihong smiled and said slowly, his tone was not very serious, but the words he said were unceremoniously.
