Hefeng County is a water-poor county.

Many times, if Wushan wants to take a bath, he has to think twice.

Usually I take a basin of water and wipe my body.

People often say that if you don't belong to your home, you don't know the price of firewood and rice. And in Hefeng County, you know how precious water is.

After coming for more than a month, Wushan still didn't know that there was a paper mill here.

Before paper mill papermaking, the raw materials need to be soaked in a large amount of alkaline water.

It is also necessary to change the water, so the clear water is changed to soy sauce-colored water, and in addition to the bad smell, the water contains many chemical agents such as alkali.

Water cannot irrigate farmland, and no farming can be carried out. In severe cases, trees on both sides of the river die. The air smells bad, and it is difficult for residents on both sides of the strait to live.

China's papermaking raw materials are mainly non-wood raw materials, and wheat grass is the main non-wood raw materials.

The pulping method is mainly alkaline method, and there are also a small amount of acid pulping and sub-ammonium pulping.

The properties of cooking waste from non-wood raw materials are very different from those of wood raw materials.

At present, Yongsheng Paper Mill does not have a supporting alkali recovery system.

Even though less than 5% of the soda is recovered through the caustic recovery system, more than 95% of the caustic soda is discharged into the water body along with the dissolved organic matter.

Eternal Paper Mill, the name is loud enough.

When they live forever, what will happen to the common people?

Paper mill, in the county seat and lower reaches of the Bu River.

From the factory, there is a deep river channel that leads directly to the Hobu River.

This small river is really shocking, this is the dirtiest river that Wushan has ever seen in his life.

The water is completely black, viscous, and does not flow, and it is a pool of stagnant water, and the surface of the water is densely filled with garbage such as fecal lumps and tissue paper, which emits a stench. From time to time, large clouds of gas are churning up the bottom of the water.

This is no longer a river, but a manure tank.

Ordinary disputes, Li Kaijun can handle them himself.

The current Hefeng county town does not have a police station. In some civil and criminal cases in the county and its surroundings, the Public Security Bureau directly intervened.

However, now that there is a dispute between the common people and the factory, the government must intervene.

Fortunately, because the public security bureau received the news and dispatched the police in a timely manner, the matter was still under control.

A member of the Harsala Brigade. Spontaneously gathered at the gate of the Eternal Life Paper Mill.

Of course, whether it was spontaneous or not, it is unknown.

After seeing this section of the water outlet, the faces of the family members in Hefeng County turned blue.

The doors of the factory were closed, and the peasants were gossiping.

"This shitty factory. Lao Tzu lit the fire and burned it. ”

"Don't, burned? How bold do you have to be? That is the property of the state. ”

"Then the Hou family's junior second child was beaten in vain?"

"Is it possible? The Public Security Bureau has taken the people away. ”

"Shhhh Secretary Wu is here! ”

Wushan's ears. Naturally, I heard these discussions.

"You arrested someone?" Wu Shan asked Li Kaijun in a low voice.

"Eh, I heard that it was a mass incident, so I asked them to cut through the mess quickly!" When the director of public security said this, he was murderous.

"Folks, as you said just now, I am Wushan, secretary of the county party committee." He stood in the middle of the crowd. Not scared at all.

In itself, it is because of the courage of the artist. Secondly, it is because the common people of this era are still very simple. Exactly. It's honest.

Of course, as the saying goes: a rabbit bites even when it is in a hurry. It seems that the living environment of the common people has reached the point of unbearable.

"Now, let's all go home, it's the busy farming season, and the corn in the field is ready to be harvested." His eyes, sparkling and smiling, scanned the crowd.

"Secretary Wu, our harvest this year has been ruined." A man who looked like a cadre of the brigade walked out of it.

In his hands, he carried two pieces of corn that had been opened.

"You are?" Wu Shan's face did not have any expression.

"Hou Tongjun, secretary of the Harsala brigade." The middle-aged man was calm.

"Comrade Hou Tongjun, let the villagers go back first." There was not a trace of anger in the voice of the county party secretary.

I am already angry in my heart, as a grassroots cadre, you should report something to your superiors.

Incites members at every turn, what do you mean?

"Comrades members, everyone listen to Secretary Wu's words and hurry home." This person is still quite wise, and he patted Wushan's ass a little.

The Chinese people, now and in the future, are very obedient.

Now that the secretary of the county party committee has come, there is hope for the resolution of the matter.

As early as when he said it, he had already retreated in twos and threes.

"Say, why do you want to bring people to besiege the factory?" Wu Shan's words are still so faint.

"Secretary Wu, over the years, we have continued to tell Lu Shang about the things here." Hou Tongjun's head lowered: "Every time, it sinks like a stone in the sea." Today, my second son broke corn from his own land, and his daughter-in-law said that the corn seemed to smell bad. Alas, my second child is also a fiery temper, oh, it's these two corns, take it and come to them to theorize. ”

The people in the paper mill don't pay attention to it. Later, the people in the communication room called a few strong young men and knocked Hou Lao Er to the ground. It happened that his daughter-in-law was following behind, and immediately went back to tell her father-in-law, and what happened next.

"Where's your son?" Wu Shan's heart was very troubled.

Inaction, a typical phenomenon of government inaction.

The paper mill is not here for a day or two.

Every day, the people in the neighborhood smell the stench here.

The waterworks are just the water in the city.

They had to dig their own wells.

Due to the proximity of the location, it is estimated that the groundwater is also contaminated.

"I was sent to the hospital by the public security comrades." Hou Tongjun answered the question honestly.

Don't think that the secretary of the brigade is not clear. As a matter of fact, every grassroots cadre who can stand out from the common people and win the support of the vast majority of the people is a well-known and capable person in the local area.

He naturally understands the annoyance of the county party secretary.

At this moment, his heart was already fifteen buckets of water.

Hou Tongjun also went to junior high school.

The wrath of the emperor in the book, millions of corpses, he didn't understand what kind of scene it was.

But he knew that if the secretary of the county party committee was angry, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Let's go." Wu Shan sighed: "Let's go and meet the factory director who hasn't shown up since the beginning and see what he has to say." ”

Li Kaijun winked, and the public security officers accompanying him knocked vigorously on the heavy iron door.

"Secretary Wu is here, open the door and open the door!" The police shouted hard.

The door opened a crack, and seeing that there were just a few people outside, the door to the communication room finally opened.

The spring breeze of reform did not blow here.

It is not difficult to imagine how bold a deputy secretary who started in a special period and a county party secretary who is fighting happily can be.

Workers now. There is no sense of distress.

In their minds, there is no such thing as laid-off.

Moreover, Hefeng County is so big, and ordinary factory directors will not fire a worker at will.

Meet frequently. Open people today, and you'll see them on the road tomorrow. Why bother.

The government is too far away from them. In the hearts of the workers, the factory director or the secretary of the factory party committee is the sky.

Even the people in the communication room don't care much about the people in the government.

The new secretary Wu, everyone naturally knows, so what?

This is the Eternal Life Paper Mill.

"Where's your factory director?" Li Kaijun felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, don't say that the old leader is here. Even if the director of the public security bureau came, their factory director had to open the door to greet him.

"You said Director Zhang, he's sleeping." The old man in the communication room said, and ran forward with a puff of smoke: "I'll go and call him for you." ”

in the communication room. There's a microphone, and it turns out that this is the equivalent of a radio studio in the factory.

"Comrades workers, I am Wushan, secretary of the county party committee, please stop the work at hand immediately and turn off the machine." He calmly addressed Mike: "Give everyone ten minutes to assemble at the gate of the factory." ”

With that, he walked out of the communication room.

"Secretary, are you going to do it?" Li Kaijun was stunned, and he didn't know how the old leader did this.

"I want to shut down the paper mill." Wushan felt in his pocket, but he didn't bring a cigarette.

"Come, secretary, smoke me." The kid was embarrassed to reveal the cigarette case, so he took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it for him.

Anyone who is with Wushan will be infected by him. In the eyes of Li Kaijun and others, Wushan's words are the truth.

To the comrade-in-arms who had fought together at the beginning, the secretary of the county party committee patiently explained: "This is originally a water-scarce area, and the people don't understand the harm caused by the paper mill." ”

"Well, I'd like to do a thorough investigation of water pollution in Zephyr." He seemed to be explaining to Li Kaijun these words, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Before the workers arrived, the old man in the communication room had already carried a half-drunk and half-awake man on his back.

"Son, wake up! The secretary of the county party committee came. The old man shouted while slapping the factory director's face.

No wonder a person in the communication room can call a young worker to beat someone. The factory director's father is called someone, so there is not much of a problem.

"What's wrong with Secretary Wu?" The man's eyes were red: "I don't produce paper for a day, and the people of Windy City won't even have paper to wipe their butts tomorrow." ”

Such a person, Wushan is not even interested in looking at it.

"Director Zhang, right?" Li Kaijun walked up directly: "We want to ask you to investigate this beating incident, the injured person is seriously injured." Therefore, we must cooperate with the work of the Public Security Bureau. ”

As he spoke, two police officers went up, one left and one right, and got into the police car with the factory director.

"Something else!" The master of the communication room chased after him: "You want to arrest me." I called for people, and I ordered them to beat them. ”

Shouting and shouting, he actually came to hug Li Kaijun's thighs and begged bitterly.

An adopted son is not the fault of a godfather. It seems that the father and son have made the paper mill their own land.

"If you want to make trouble again, then take it with you." As he spoke, Li Kaijun took out the handcuffs.

As soon as Lao Zhang Tou saw that it was true, he immediately died down and returned to the communication room.

Such a factory director, before noon, is drunk, check it, there should be a lot of problems.

There are not many workers in the paper mill, just over 30.

Everyone looked blank and didn't understand what was going on.

"Comrades workers, I am Wushan." As he spoke, he walked towards the gutter over there, "Please follow me and have a look." ”

All the workers, all cover their noses. A few shallow people vomited on the spot.

"Are there any locals from the Harsala Brigade here?" Returning to the gate again, Wu Shan stared at the worker and asked.

One or two workers, silently raising their hands in the crowd.

"Comrades, my name is Wushan, everyone knows." The secretary of the county party committee plans to make the work clear to everyone: "My hometown is in the Yixian area of Bashu Province. People who like to watch the news seem to be the birthplace of China's reform. ”

"In the future, no matter what the situation is in Wakaze," he sighed, "I can't stay in Wafeng for the rest of my life." But you're different. Everyone is a native of the Japanese family. Your children, your children's children, maybe you will all have to live in this land. Who is drinking all this black water? Our people downstream. How can you bear it? ”

When these words came to the hearts of the workers, they all bowed their heads.

Next to him, Hou Tongjun, who had been invisible for a long time, stood up: "Comrades, look at the corn in my hand, this is Harvest No. 1." Whose Harvest No. 1 is this color? The food of our Harsala brigade is affected by the water here. Downstream, it can affect more people. Do you think this paper mill needs to exist? ”

When he first heard the words of the secretary of the county party committee, he wanted to do some work by himself, and by the way, he also left an impression in front of Wushan.

"Comrades, go home." Secretary Wu shook his head: "The paper mill cannot continue to exist. Until your new job arrives, stay at home for the time being and get your full pay. ”

It's really annoying, there is no environmental protection bureau in this era, and those related to the environment have to go into battle shirtless.

"Parents and officials of Hefeng County, look at these two corns, what do you have to say?" Wu Shan threw the corn on his table and set it up. (To be continued......)
