When Chu Tianshu heard this, he knew that he had done things outside, understood some policies and principles, and what he said was not a lie. The third sister-in-law's family is also an honest person, with one eye, only claiming 100,000 yuan, which is a legitimate request, and it is not vexatious at all. This kind of thing has to be put on hold in the city, and if there is a similar traffic accident, it is not too much to claim 300,000 yuan.

In order to avoid the expansion of the situation, Chu Tianshu immediately decided to say: "If you can believe me, please rest assured, I will call the shots for you in this matter, and within three days, I will ask the transportation company to compensate you 100,000 yuan in compensation." But I also have a request for you, to withdraw it immediately, and to stop the road and stop the car again. Within three days, I will be responsible for coordinating and handling it for you, do you say it's okay? ”

The second stunned said: "What if we can't get the money within three days?" ”

Chu Tianshu said categorically: "If they don't compensate, the government will compensate you, and the government can't compensate, so I will pay out of my own pocket." Don't worry, Lao Wang Zhilu said to my office, and I, the secretary, will not run away for three days. ”

Wang Guitian said: "Third sister-in-law, with Secretary Chu's words, do you still have something to worry about?" Stunned, do you still want to do it? Take your aunt and grandma home. After speaking, let the second stunned greet the old man and the child, and leave with the peasant woman's family.

Zuo Tiannian watched the crowd disperse, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and began to secretly trouble in his heart again.

Chu Tianshu had already let out the words, and the 100,000 yuan had to be in place within three days.

But he knew very well that Zhou Botong, the boss of Datong Company, was originally a somewhat famous figure on the underworld in Qingyuan City, and later returned to Nanling County, and became a brother with Fu Sansen, the third elder of the Fu family, and controlled the transportation business of the entire Nanling County.

Zhou Botong has already said that this is not a matter of money or money, if the money is "blackmailed", will the transportation business be done in the future? Do you still want to run in Nanling County? If you really annoy me, don't blame me for being unkind.

Alas, if Chase does not pay, the government will compensate, and if the government does not pay, it will pay itself. This is a hard word, but the government compensates, Fu Damu will definitely not agree to the county finance to pay for it, and the most unlucky one is Daliushu Township, so he can't really let Chu Tianshu pay out of his own pocket.

Zuo Tiannian was still in a daze, and Chu Tianshu had already talked to Wang Guitian.

"Secretary Chu, the second stunned is a little flustered, don't you mind." Wang Guitian stepped forward and pulled Chu Tianshu's hand, and said loudly at the crowd on the side of the road: "Folks, this is Secretary Chu that I mentioned to you, if you have any difficulties, you can put a swing with him." ”

Secretary Chu arched his hand to the villagers on the side of the road.

There was some sparse applause from the crowd of onlookers.

Shi Zhiqiang stepped forward and pushed Wang Guitian and scolded angrily: "Wang Guitian, are you still finished?" Secretary Chu came down to inspect the work, what are you coaxing. ”

"Township Chief Shi, don't stop them, there's nothing wrong with listening to everyone's voice." After Chu Tianshu finished speaking, he shouted to the crowd again: "Folks, I came this time just to listen to everyone pose a difficult situation, if you have any ideas, you can talk about it, and if you can solve one thing, there is always one thing missing." ”

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd.

Suddenly, an old man shouted, "Secretary, anyone can say nice things, and our ears are calloused." If you are really good for our people, then help us repair the road under our feet and repair the bridge in the west of the village! We are living a good life, who will trouble the cadres! ”

Chu Tianshu looked at the uneven gravel and soil under his feet that people, cars and livestock were stepping on, raised his eyebrows, and asked Zuo Tiannian in confusion: "Secretary Zuo, what's going on with the road, what's going on with the bridge?" ”

Zuo Tiannian sighed and said: "There is an ancient bridge built at the end of the Qing Dynasty in the west of the village, called the slate bridge, which has long been overwhelmed and has become a dangerous bridge, and the villagers have been proposing to build a new bridge, but the county finance can't allocate the money, let the township raise it by itself, the township's 'village to village' road has not been repaired, how can you get the money to repair the bridge!" ”

Chu Tianshu looked at everyone, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

When I arrived at the west of the village, several large dump trucks rumbled over, the word "Datong" was printed on the door, and the stones loaded on the car were piled up, and they staggered fast on the potholed road, raising a burst of dust that covered the sky and the sun, and the villagers behind them avoided one after another, and then broke out into a scolding.

"Phew, run so fast, hurry to see Hades."

"Paralyzed, the good road has crushed these dogs' eggs."

"Fuck the dog, sooner or later, the slate bridge will be crushed, and it will fall into the Tianhe River to feed Wang Ba."

……

When the dust settled, a layer of dust fell on the Audi car, and several stones fell from the dump truck and smashed on the car, and even Ma Guosheng, who didn't speak much, couldn't help but curse the word "rely on".

Chu Tianshu pointed to these dump trucks and asked Zuo Tiannian: "These are the cars that caused the accident, right?" ”

Zuo Tiannian said: "Yes, these cars are all from Datong Transportation Company, the boss of the company is called Zhou Botong, and he is the one who runs the freight in the county." These trucks are responsible for pulling the stone mined from the mountain all year round, and they have to make several trips on this road every day. Alas, the overload is serious, and no matter how good the road is, it can't withstand them. ”

Chu Tianshu nodded and said, "You don't care?" ”

"It's over, but it can't be managed." "In the past two years, villagers spontaneously closed the road and clashed with the driver of Datong, and several people were injured," said Huang, deputy head of the township. When the matter came to the county, the county magistrate Bai stepped forward to deal with it, saying that mineral mining is a pillar industry in the county and must be supported. In the end, the Chase Company paid for the medical expenses and spent another 50,000 yuan a year to repair the road, and the matter was over, and the villagers did not dare to provoke the driver of the Chase Company anymore. ”

At that time, Huang Jian participated in the mediation on behalf of the township, and now he is still a little indignant when he talks about it, which shows that he is not very satisfied with this handling opinion.

Chu Tianshu listened, and said thoughtfully: "According to this situation, it is necessary to protect this road to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, the target is overloading of vehicles, and this is mineral mining." However, before you can cure the root cause, you can still treat the symptoms first, control the overload of the vehicle, and at least leave a good way for everyone to go. ”

Zuo Tiannian didn't speak, Huang Jian wanted to say something, but he still held back.

Only Shi Zhiqiang sneered secretly: You are so big, Fu Lao Er relies on the family of mineral mining, and Zhou Botong of Datong Company is the brother of Fu Lao San and Fu Sansen, you can't cure this specimen and this book. You'd better find a way to get the 100,000 yuan you promised first.

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the Tongtian River.

Tongtian River is a tributary of the upper reaches of Qinglian River, originating from the "Fuyun" mountain range, running through the entire Nanling County, passing through more than 20 natural villages along the way, and is also the dividing line between Daliushu Township and Ziyang Township, this side is Hedong Village of Daliushu Township, opposite is Hexi Village of Ziyang Township, which is the only way for Daliushu Township to enter the mountainous area to the west and Ziyang Township to the south to enter the county seat.

There is a bridge built during the Anti-Japanese War on the Tongtian River, called "Stone Slab Bridge", which has gone through the test of war artillery fire, and after decades of wind and rain, it has always stood still, it is the only bridge on the Tongtian River that has been preserved and the most complete one, and it has become the only passage connecting the two sides of the Tongtian River.

Therefore, the villagers regard the bridge as a "sacred bridge", and during the New Year's holidays, the villagers on both sides of the strait will also come to the bridge to offer incense and "sacrifice", praying that the "divine bridge" will still be "strong" in the coming year, and bless the people on both sides of the strait with good weather and smooth roads.

In recent years, the bridge bed close to Hexi has been collapsing under the erosion of the debris flow in the flood season every year, the bridge body gradually sinks and has fractures, the cement paved on the stone slab of the bridge deck has been crushed to pieces, and the stone slab below has been seen in some places, and the vehicle is very dangerous to pass.

In Nanling County in recent years, Daliushu Township and Ziyang Township have jointly proposed to repair bridges and roads, but Peng Baoluan, director of the Finance Bureau, said that the county finances were already stretched and could not come up with money to help them repair bridges and roads.

As a result, Bai Cunli, the deputy county magistrate in charge of construction, adopted the method of delay, and asked the two townships to cooperate with the county urban construction bureau to get a plan first and make a budget.

It is easy to build a road, and it is enough to harden the original road surface, and the money is relatively small.

However, the construction of the bridge is more complicated, and after the expert arguments of the city and the province, it is recommended to build a new bridge next to the stone slab bridge, which not only protects the historical relics, but also does not affect the current road traffic.

The two budgets cost about $200,000 and $800,000 respectively, for a total of $1 million.

One million is almost an astronomical figure for Nanling County, and as soon as Ma Xingwang presided over the meeting to discuss it, he was opposed by Fu Damu, saying that there are more than a dozen townships and towns in the county, each with its own difficulties, and if all of them reach out to the county, the county finances will not be able to bear it at all, and they will not be able to encourage this unhealthy trend.

Fu Damu set the tone, and Mao Xingdong, Li Taihe, Chi Ruifeng and others, who were originally supportive, did not dare to say more, and the result of the discussion was that the county could not come up with the money for the time being, so let the township figure out its own way.

The township has looked for the floating marble mine and the Chase company.

However, the Fuyun Stone Mine said that we have hardened the road shared with the villagers in Xinglin Township, and the slate bridge and the rest of the road have nothing to do with them, and they can only find Datong Company. The Datong Company also resolutely refused to pay these two sums of money, saying that we had paid the county road maintenance fees and various taxes and fees, and we also took 50,000 yuan a year to the two townships as the cost of road and bridge maintenance, and it was impossible to use the money to repair bridges and roads.

50,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket, only enough to fill the potholes that are pressed out by the dump truck every year.

In desperation, the two townships discussed and decided that the villagers of the two townships should raise funds to repair the bridge and repair the road by sharing money from each household, but the two townships had different positions and could not agree on their opinions, and the villagers of Daliushu Township proposed that the road leading to the county seat should be built first, while the villagers of Ziyang Township insisted that the money raised should be used to repair the bridge first.

There was a dispute between the two sides, and the fundraising had to be abandoned.

Without a source of funding, the programme and budget were done in vain, and the construction of roads and bridges was put on hold.
