After Huang Lasheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

It is unimaginable that such a man, who is called the head of the bandit village by outsiders, talks about the long-term interests of the villagers.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help nodding secretly, now there are not many village cadres like Huang Lasheng who really care about the interests and sufferings of the people.

Perhaps only in a closed and backward poor mountain village like Shanao Village can Huang Lasheng produce such a "bandit village chief". If such a village cadre is used well, he will be a good leader who leads the villagers to make a fortune, and if it is not used well, it may be extremely destructive.

Huang Lasheng said loudly: "As long as there is one person in Shanao Village, don't think about succeeding in these dogs in the mine." ”

Listening to Huang Lasheng's tone, the grievances between Shanao Village and Fuyun Mine are indeed very deep.

Chu Tianshu said: "What the hell is going on? Take me to see it. ”

Huang Lasheng led the way, and the group walked towards the back mountain.

Huang Fulin introduced the situation to Chu Tianshu as he walked.

The villagers of Shanao Village have relied on planting and breeding on Fuyun Mountain for generations, and although they live a poor life, they are also happy to have no quarrel with the world, leisure and quiet, and there are several centenarians in the village all year round.

In the early nineties, the county established the Fuyun Mine to exploit the mineral resources of the Fuyun Mountains, and the ups and downs changed hands several times, and now it is in the hands of a boss named Huang Gu.

Chu Tianshu asked, "Who is this Huang Gu?" ”

Huang Fulin shook his head and said: "I don't know much about the origin of this person, I only heard Secretary Zheng talk about it, he and Zhou Botong of Datong Company in the county, Ouyang Feng of Pioneer Passenger Transport Company and others are called Nanling County's East Evil West Poison South Beggars and Northern Emperor, and he must also be a bit of a figure. ”

Chu Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, Township Chief Huang, according to what you say, this is a bit like the Nanling version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes." It's just that the East Evil Yellow Medicine Master and the West Poison Ouyang Feng already have it, and the old naughty boy Zhou Botong also appeared, but who are the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing and the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong? ”

Huang Fulin smiled and said, "I don't know much about this." I guess it's because of the coincidence of the names of these people, everyone is bored and makes up such a statement. ”

While laughing, several people left the village and walked for more than an hour on the mountain road, and finally came to the top of Fuyun Mountain.

Far into the distance.

To the east is a large reservoir built in the upper reaches of the Tongtian River, and a dam is held between the two valleys, forming a natural lake, which is the famous Chaoyang Reservoir in Qingyuan City.

This is the product of the "agricultural village" in those years, and it is also a major water conservancy project of epoch-making significance.

The completion of the Chaoyang Reservoir has effectively solved the problem of flooding in the rainy season and drought in the rainy season and drought in the villages along the Tongtian River, and has fundamentally freed the peasants of Nanling County from the dilemma of relying on the sky for food.

To the west is a cluster of tall and low buildings, which look like a small town in an economically developed area.

According to Huang Fulin, that is the Fuyun Mine.

The three courtyards close to the highway in the middle are the office area of the mine, which is very exquisitely repaired, the green trees are in the shade, the flowers and plants are thick, the path paved with gravel is winding and secluded, and more than a dozen large and small pavilions and the long corridor will reflect the courtyard with the elegance and beauty of the Jiangnan Forest Garden, which can be called a great victory in the ravine.

At the back is the living area, all two-story small buildings, each with a small courtyard, simple and practical.

It is surrounded by a commercial area and a hospital.

Far from two highways, one through the slate bridge to the county seat, one straight to Chaoyang Reservoir, where there is a mine hydropower station, in the middle of the reservoir there is a flooded hill, this season, the mountains are full of peach blossoms, there are several courtyards with red walls and blue tiles to hide in it.

Huang Fulin said that after Huang Gu took over the Fuyun mine, he built a hydropower station next to the reservoir, and by the way, the hillside in the middle was also developed, houses were built on it, and peach blossoms were planted, becoming a veritable peach blossom island. Huang Gu also became a veritable owner of Peach Blossom Island, and people who knew him well would call him Huang Yaoshi in person, and the villagers in the surrounding villages would call him Huang Laoxi.

Huang Lasheng added, I heard the villagers who kept vigil say that at night, Peach Blossom Island is lively. It is not uncommon for people to come in cars and take people to the island in small wooden boats, which are brightly lit and stay up all night.

Chu Tianshu only nodded and did not speak. What can you do on such a small island? He easily thought of Zhuang Min's island in the middle of the lake, which was nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.

It can be seen that Huang Gu, the owner of the Fuyun Mine, is a man with brains, and according to this formation, most of them plan to take root in Nanling and make the Fuyun Mine bigger and stronger.

Looking to the southwest, it is covered with thick dust, which has the tendency to cover the sky and the sun. That is the mining area of the mine, which is separated from the village of the mountain col by a hill, and this hill is the area where the village and the mining area often collide.

There was a tent on the top of the mountain, and outside the tent, a curling smoke rose from the tent.

Chu Tianshu pointed to the tent and asked, "What kind of place is that, how can there be a tent?" Who lives there? ”

Huang Lasheng said: "It was a horse slope, and the tents were set up in the village, and the village took turns to send people on duty to prevent the people in the mine from destroying the mountains and forests. ”

Chu Tianshu secretly had a headache.

Undoubtedly, if the Fuyun Mine in Huanggu wants to become bigger and stronger, it is bound to continue to open up the mountains and quarry, and the villagers of Shanao Village want to protect the mountains and forests and obstruct the mining of the mines.

From the perspective of protecting the ecological environment and preventing soil erosion, industries such as the Fuyun mine, which destroys natural resources, have long been shut down and transferred in economically developed areas.

However, in Nanling County, the Fuyun Mine is one of the main sources of finance in the county, and it is also an enterprise that has obtained an administrative license and is formally registered.

In the same way, the villagers want to protect the mountains and forests that they have relied on for generations, protect the blue sky, clear water and green space in this area, and ensure that their basic rights and interests are not violated or harmed.

What made Chu Tianshu feel strange was that the county would not be unaware of the possible conflict of interest between the mine and Shanao Village, so why would he forcibly sell Fangmapo to Fuyun Mine? Is it really due to the pressure of the assessment of the realization of the "three links," or is it that some people insist on going their own way out of some selfish interests?

The setting sun sinks in the west, smearing a layer of golden glow on the Fuyun Mountain Range.

The contrast between the verdant greenery of Fangmapo and the turquoise waters of Chaoyang Reservoir creates a beautiful rural scene, while the bare rocks and dusty clouds to the southwest are a major failure in this picturesque landscape.

The sky was getting dark, and Huang Lasheng took Chu Tianshu and the others down the mountain.

Walking to the door of Huang Lasheng's house, a figure walked in the dark. He walked over to the crowd and shouted, "Lasheng, is Secretary Chu here?" ”

Chu Tianshu stood still and saw that the person who came was wearing a straw hat and a tattered overalls.

Huang Lasheng answered, did not answer his question, only said: "Lao Zheng, you are here." ”

Someone rushed forward, took off his straw hat, looked at Chu Tianshu and said, "Secretary Chu, it's really you." I'm Zheng Zhiguo. ”

If it weren't for Zheng Zhiguo to greet him first, Chu Tianshu would almost not recognize him.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Zheng Zhiguo is black, thin, has shed a layer of skin on his body, and has a few blood blisters on his mouth. One trouser leg was pulled, and the other was tied up with a straw rope.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw him like this.

Huang Lasheng was a little surprised and asked, "Lao Zheng, do you know each other?" ”

"Secretary Chu, hello." Zheng Zhiguo grabbed Chu Tianshu's hand, said hello, and said to Huang Lasheng with a smile: "Lao Huang, I don't just know Secretary Chu, my supply and marketing cooperative is supported by Secretary Chu." ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "Lao Zheng, why are you here?" ”

Zheng Zhiguo said: "I would like to invite the village of Shan Ao to join our cooperative and come and talk to the village chief of Laplang. ”

Huang Lasheng said enthusiastically: "Lao Zheng, have you eaten?" Let's eat together if you haven't eaten. ”

When I entered the hospital, I smelled a fragrance.

Just wondering, Huang Lasheng's wife came in from the kitchen, saw Chu Tianshu, was shocked for a moment, listened to the man's introduction, rubbed his hands and said, "I'm here, I'm not ready, let's sit in the hall." ”

Chu Tianshu smiled, learned the habits of the people in the village, and called, "Sister-in-law, I'm causing you trouble." ”

Huang Lasheng's wife said: "Don't call it that, look at this house, why do you ask the leader to sit." Lasheng, you go and borrow a few benches, and the meal will be ready in no time. With that, he went into the kitchen with a red face.

Huang Fulin said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is such a person, she is not comfortable when we come here occasionally." ”

Huang Lasheng and another village cadre went out to borrow a bench from the villager next door.

Chu Tianshu pulled Huang Fulin aside, took out five hundred yuan, and whispered: "Lao Huang, this is our food money, and when we leave, you will hand it over to my sister-in-law for me." ”

Huang Fulin excused himself and said, "How can this work? Lasheng knows that he will scold me to death. ”

Chu Tianshu didn't say anything, stuffed the money into his pocket, and said, "It's really not good, you can help me buy a cigarette or daily necessities." ”

Huang Fulin didn't make a sound.

Huang Lasheng and the village cadres came in with a bench and shouted at the kitchen: "Old woman, it's time to eat." ”

After everyone sat down, Huang Lasheng took out his home-brewed Baogu wine.

Huang Fulin took his eyes to see Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu didn't shirk this time, and took a full bowl of rice in front of him.

The dishes were served, a bowl of chicken nuggets, a jar of chicken broth, a bowl of garlic fried with bacon, a bowl of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a few bowls of fresh vegetables freshly picked from the field.

Huang Lasheng's wife was polite, and hid in the kitchen, Chu Tianshu asked Huang Fulin to shout once, she said that the leaders said things, what am I doing sitting there, I insisted on refusing to come out to eat together, so I had to give up.

Several people gathered around a table of eight immortals, drinking and chatting.

Zheng Zhiguo took the lead in bringing up the matter of the villagers of Shanao Village joining the cooperative.
