Although Yang Chengcai is just a farmer, he is not stage frightened at all, and said endlessly: "Our ancestors have known since ancient times that the so-called life and death are just about people's stinky skins. Although the stinky skin is dead, the ghost is still there, and everything in this world is still known clearly. Therefore, relatives and friends, out of affection and fear of ghosts, should properly dispose of the corpse, which is the so-called funeral. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but I still pursued that people of the same clan and clan were alive together, and when they died, they were still together, and the whole family was buried in the same cemetery.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou deduced the innate gossip diagram based on the Hetuluo book handed down in ancient times, which gave rise to the theory of yin and yang feng shui and the number of techniques that are easy to learn. While people are doing funeral rites for their loved ones, they should find a piece of feng shui for the deceased according to the theory of yin and yang feng shui, so that the deceased can be peaceful underground and no longer nostalgic for the yang world, and secondly, it is also for the ancestors to die and still be able to better bless the descendants, and bring wealth, luck or blessing to future generations in the yang world.

This cemetery in our Xiaoyangzhuang was specially surveyed by a feng shui master back then, and it is related to the lifeblood of hundreds of families in our Xiaoyangzhuang, so you can't move it! ”

Li Xiaoning couldn't help but have a headache, because he really didn't have the relevant knowledge reserves in this area, so he had to follow Yang Chengcai's words and said: "Although I don't have any research on yin and yang feng shui. But I also know the vicissitudes of life, and the truth of the stars. Everything in this world is in the process of development and change all the time, and the same is true for this feng shui leyline! What was a treasure of feng shui at the beginning, but now it may be a fierce land? Otherwise, why do the villagers of Xiaoyangzhuang have been poor and have not become rich? So, I don't think this relocation is necessarily a bad thing. ”

Yang Chengcai shook his head again and again and said: "Although the people of Xiaoyangzhuang have not become rich, they can be regarded as having a good life in the entire Pingshan Town. Moreover, for so many years, there has not been a single person who has died in Xiaoyangzhuang, isn't this piece of feng shui treasure at work? ”

Li Xiaoning knew that he had no chance of winning if the debate continued, so he changed his mind and said: "Fellow villagers, building roads is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and you must support it." ”

Another old man also said: "We are absolutely in favor of building the highway, but if we want to change places, we must not move our ancestral graves." ”

"That's it, that's it, my father said, whoever dares to dig my family's ancestral grave, our whole family will fight with him." Another villager representative echoed in.

Li Xiaoning patiently explained: "This route is surveyed by the Transportation Bureau, the construction difficulty is the least, the route is the closest, if you want to change the route, it is necessary to increase a lot of manpower and material resources needlessly." ”

Yang Chengcai spoke again: "Mayor Li, on behalf of the people of Xiaoyangzhuang today, I will definitely support the construction of the road, and we are willing to contribute money and efforts, that is, there is one, we can't move our ancestral grave, as long as the highway is not our cemetery in Xiaoyangzhuang, we are willing to work double jobs, and we are willing to talk about it." ”

At this point, the negotiations are at an impasse. Deputy Mayor Yang Dachuang was uncomfortable, and said with a calm face: "Mayor Li has said a lot of good things, if you don't listen to it, we can only force our way in." ”

The representatives of the villagers immediately glared at each other and said in unison: "As long as we still have a breath, you don't want to attack our ancestral grave. ”

Li Xiaoning hurriedly stopped Yang Dachuang's further threatening remarks and continued to patiently do ideological work, but Yang Chengcai and others refused to let go.

The negotiations lasted for more than two hours, and no substantive progress was made at all, so Li Xiaoning had no choice but to promise the villagers' representatives not to move the cemetery in Xiaoyangzhuang for the time being, and to deal with it after the re-survey.

After the villagers' representatives left, Li Xiaoning immediately convened a meeting of the party group members to discuss how to solve this "thorny" problem.

Yang Dachuang felt that he had no face on his face because of the unsmooth development of his work, and he was angry in his heart, and he took the lead in speaking: "In my opinion, the villagers of Xiaoyangzhuang just want to ask for more money, give them more money, and solve the problem, and there is still no money for ideological work." ”

Zhang Erwa shook her head and said: "You think too simply, you are also a cadre from Xiaoyangzhuang, don't you know the status of the ancestral tomb in their hearts?" I have also heard that this cemetery in your Xiaoyangzhuang was selected by a very famous physiognomist during the Republic of China, and it is really a good feng shui. Besides, the compensation of 3,000 yuan per tomb is already a lot of money, and if the standard is raised, what will be the level of dù? There has to be a basis, right? ”

Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinjun said: "I think what Mayor Yang said has a certain truth, money can make ghosts grind, as long as the money is given enough, they will definitely be able to move their graves obediently." ”

Li Xiaoning shook his head and said: "It's unrealistic to add money, if you add money, if you encounter the relocation of graves in the future, the asking price can only get higher and higher." Also, from the negotiation with the villagers just now, you can feel that the people of Xiaoyangzhuang are very superstitious, believing that their ancestral tombs have good feng shui and a very resolute attitude, and giving money may not achieve the goal. ”

Zhang Xinjun said: "Mayor Li, I absolutely admire your ability, but you still don't know enough about human nature. In this world, there is nothing that money can't do, and it can't be done, but the price is not enough. ”

Li Xiaoning said: "The problem is that we don't have that much money to come up with, and the design we have now set has been expanded from the original eight meters wide road to ten meters wide, and the funds applied for from the Department of Transportation are barely enough." Moreover, there are also issues related to demolition and relocation, some of which demolish houses and some of which move graves. If you give Xiaoyangzhuang a high price, it will be followed by the rising tide, how can you get it? ”

The town party committee held for nearly two hours, and everyone discussed and discussed, and there were only three ways to think of it: one was to continue to do ideological work patiently and meticulously, even if it was worn out, to persuade them to move the grave; the second is to secretly increase the cost of relocating graves; The third is the forced relocation of graves.

But everyone also understands that these three methods are either ineffective or simply not advisable.

Zhang Xinjun finally said: "There is always a way, Mayor Li is now the first person in charge of road construction, and he is a top student of a key university, and his brain is more active than ours. ”

Yang Dachuang immediately followed up and said: "What Lao Zhang said is that we are all cadres with dirt lumps, and we can't think of any good way at all, so we still have to rely on Mayor Li to get the idea, and we will be responsible for running errands and doing miscellaneous things." ”

Li Xiaoning said in his heart: "You guys are too unparticular, right?" Just want to throw things at me. However, he is now the actual helmsman of Pingshan Town, and no matter how big the problem is, he can only bear it. And he is bent on letting the people of Pingshan Town embark on the road to prosperity, if he can't even solve this small problem in front of him, he himself will look down on himself a little. After thinking about it, Li Xiaoning said: "This matter still depends on everyone's brainstorming, and everyone will think about it after the meeting to see what good ways there are." I'll go to Xiaoyangzhuang first to see if there is any possibility of changing the route. ”

After the meeting, Li Xiaoning took Gu Yun and Bai Dengke to ride a bicycle towards Xiaoyangzhuang, and after a bumpy ride, he finally arrived at Xiaoyangzhuang before the sun set.

After a little inquiry with the villagers, the three of them found the cemetery. Dozens of old and new graves, large and small, are scattered on a small hillside, and not far away is a river, where the river has made a big bend and encircles the hillside like a jade belt. Although Li Xiaoning doesn't understand feng shui, he can also see that this cemetery can indeed be regarded as a treasure of feng shui. It's just that the cemetery is obviously not taken care of, and the dead grass in the cemetery grows tall, and is blown by the cold north wind, making a burst of "whine" sound, although the weather has not yet darkened, but it is also gloomy.

Li Xiaoning climbed to the top of the slope and visually measured the extra distance due to the detour, at least two thousand meters, if you really want to change the route, you will need at least five million additional investment, and the total cost of moving the grave is only more than 200,000 yuan, it seems that it is imperative to move the grave.

Li Xiaoning took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, and went into the village to visit almost the villagers, wanting to do the work door to door, hoping to break them one by one, but the villagers were surprisingly unanimous, absolutely supportive of road construction, and it was easy to say that they would contribute money and money, but it was absolutely impossible to move the ancestral grave.

Bai Dengke was young and lacked patience, and said to Li Xiaoning angrily: "These villagers are too difficult, they all admit death, and always think that their ancestral tombs have good feng shui. ”

It's hard to say, it's easy to say, it's really hard to do, and if you really make a group of ** pieces, Li Xiaoning's ambition will not be realized.

Gu Yun saw Li Xiaoning's brows tightened, so he comforted him: "Everyone has weaknesses, and the villagers of Xiaoyangzhuang must also have weaknesses!" I don't believe that a living person can suffocate a dead person. ”

"Yes! How can a living person suffocate a dead person? Li Xiaoning's heart moved, "There must be a way to solve this matter, but what is this solution?" What is the weakness of the villagers in Xiaoyangzhuang? ”

Bai Dengke scolded again: "Fucking blame that Mr. Feng Shui, if he hadn't said that this place is a treasure of feng shui, these villagers wouldn't have relied on not moving their graves." ”

After listening to Bai Dengke's words, Li Xiaoning had a flash of inspiration: Since the people of Xiaoyangzhuang are all superstitious, they should fight poison with poison and deal with superstition with superstition, so find a feng shui master to persuade the villagers to move their graves.

As soon as this idea appeared, Li Xiaoning suddenly became excited again, and he smiled at Bai Dengke: "Sure enough, three stinkers have competed against one Zhuge Liang!" Denko, thank you for the reminder. I've got a solution to this dilemma! The living don't have to be suffocated by the dead! ”

Looking at the elated Li Xiaoning, Bai Dengke looked puzzled, and he asked Gu Yun suspiciously, "What did I remind him?" ”

"How do I know?" Gu Yun gave Bai Dengke a hygienic eye.
