What is like being on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice, Zhang Guichun deeply experienced it in Dodo Township on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year in 2004. Something is going on in front of the township ** gate, which is not a big deal in normal times, and there is no need for him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, to be present in person. But it happened during the Spring Festival, and it became a little sensitive. In addition, Wenshan intervened with ulterior motives and took the lead in reporting to the leaders of the provincial party committee, and the small turmoil became a big event.

The provincial party committee attaches great importance to it. Pei Yihong and the duty room of the provincial party committee kept calling to inquire about the situation, and the governor Zhao Anbang, who was hospitalized in the hospital, also knew about it, and just now he called the scene, and warned him sternly: "If you don't handle it properly, you will freeze to death and frostbite, and the provincial party committee and province will not spare you!" He also reminded, "The cold air from Siberia is going south again, and the temperature in the Yinshan area will drop by ten degrees, and you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, must have points in your heart!" ”

Zhang Guichun put down the phone and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Why didn't he count? If he really didn't count, he would never have braved a snowstorm to come here today, let alone talk to the peasants with his arms hung when he was injured in a car accident. It should be said that he is still quite competent, from the moment he received the alarm in the morning to this moment, he has done all the work that should be done, and he also dragged the investor Wu Yaya to broadcast to the peasants, and he has said everything he can say, but the peasant masses just don't listen, what can he do? He represents the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee and the city, and he can't easily give in and retreat! If he retreats, the authority of the first-class ** will be lost, and the project that he has dug up with great difficulty will also be in danger of failure. If Yinshan does not lower the land price and give this kind of full support to Wu Yaya's Asian Steel Federation, will people come to invest? However, if they do not give in for the time being, the peasants will not leave, and the stability of the social and political situation in Jinchuan District and even Yinshan City will be in danger of being destroyed.

There is an air in the air that is growing over time. From morning to now, more than seven hours have passed, and the peasant masses in front of the township have not left, but have gathered more and more. Zhang Guichun hung his injured arm, stood on the fourth floor of the township ** building, condescendingly looked at the men, women and children gathered on the snow, he was very depressed and annoyed, and he really wanted to move hard for a while.

Wu Yaya hadn't left yet, and Wu Yaya was also aware of the danger that he and his comrades were aware of.

Wu Yaya retreated first, and said cautiously: "Secretary Zhang, I didn't expect it to come to this point, and it will be made during the Spring Festival, which alarmed the provincial party committee and the provincial government. ”

Although Zhang Guichun said that he was displeased, he was not good at Wu Yaya, so he said: "Mr. Wu, how can there be an arrow to turn back when you open the bow?" What to swing on? If you encounter a contradiction, you can solve it! All my promises to you and your AASR are fully committed! You know? Just today, our executive vice mayor Lao Song is still taking people to help you run the project in the provincial capital! ”

Wu Yaya said again and again: "I know, I know, Mayor Song also called just now!" Pointing to the peasant masses downstairs, he said, "But, Secretary Zhang, these peasants' eyes are so powerful, they make me afraid!" Why do I feel like the capitalist in the movie "Burning Plain", surrounded by angry workers? Wenshan was also mentioned, "We have 7 million tons of steel on Wenshan and more than 6,000 acres of land, and this kind of thing has never happened!" ”

Zhang Guichun had a seizure at this time, and pointed to Lu Tongren, secretary of the Jinchuan District Party Committee, and Xiang Yangsheng, the head of the district, and said, "Listen, listen!" How can I answer Mr. Wu? Mr. Wu's worries are not unreasonable, 2,500 acres of land cannot be successfully acquired, how can we talk about a good investment environment? I'll keep this account in mind for you! ”

Lu Tongren and Xiang Yangsheng looked at each other, wiping the cold sweat on their heads, and no one dared to defend themselves.

Wu Yaya seemed to be really shaken, and when he shook hands with him and said goodbye, he said: "Secretary Zhang, in fact, you know best how this project came about!" I and the Asian Iron and Steel Federation have invested so much in Wenshan, we are already a little powerless, and the peasant comrades here have such an attitude, I am really afraid of causing trouble to you! ”

Zhang Guichun patted the back of Wu Yaya's hand, "Don't say it again, Mr. Wu!" Even if you get into trouble, it has nothing to do with you, how to deal with the turmoil here is our business, you just wait for the official signing of the contract after the holiday, and I will come over! ”

Wu Yaya walked away nervously, but walked quite calmly and did not cause any more commotion. Zhang Guichun stood upstairs in the conference room and noticed that because of his presence, the people in the stalemate downstairs did not embarrass the big investor, took the initiative to get out of the way, and watched several police cars in Wenshan and Wu Yaya's BMW car slowly gallop out of the township gate.

However, the peasants who surrounded the township still showed no signs of scattering and leaving. The previous uproar has fallen into an oppressive silence with the end of several ineffective conversations. It is a terrible silence, and the stubbornness and stoicism inherent in the Chinese peasant are on display in this silence of fighting to the end. The cold weather did not diminish their courage to fight, and according to Xiang Yangsheng's idea, it is very unrealistic to expect them to disperse by themselves when they are too cold to stand. What could happen is that someone is going to fall, and it's minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Xiang Yangsheng said: "Don't be afraid, Secretary Zhang, just ...... Even if there are a few frostbites, they are self-inflicted! ”

Zhang Guichun became angry when he heard it, "You're not afraid of me!" Secretary Pei and Governor Zhao are staring at me! ”

Lu Tongren said at this time: "Secretary Zhang, you can't be stiff like this, do you think you can make some concessions?" ”

Zhang Guichun thought about it and asked quite uneasily: "Secretary Xiao Lu, then tell me, even if you give in, how can you make it?" Do you really agree to the peasants' demands, give up these 2,500 acres of land, and not go on this big project? ”

Lu Tongren said tentatively: "Secretary Zhang, can I make some concessions in land requisition compensation?" Rise...... At least it meets the compensation standard for land acquisition in Wenshan, and it can even be slightly higher than their standard......"

Zhang Guichun was a little impatient, "Wenshan is Wenshan, Yinshan is Yinshan, this is not a good reason!" ”

Lu Tongren smiled bitterly, "Yes, yes, Secretary Zhang!" Can...... But things can't be so stiff, right? It has to be solved, right? I...... I'll talk about everything that comes to mind today, and provide a reference for you and the municipal party committee to make decisions! ”

District Mayor Xiang Yangsheng was a little frightened, and stopped: "Hey, Secretary Lu, let's listen to Secretary Zhang!" ”

Lu Tongren ignored Xiang Yangsheng, "Secretary Zhang, there are some situations in Dudao Township that you may not know very well: the two administrative villages involved in this land acquisition have just been replaced, and the new village committee is quite capable......

Zhang Guichun snorted, "It's very capable, and it's all encouraging the villagers to surround the township!" ”

Lu Tongren was not frightened, "Secretary Zhang, I have to report to you clearly: this trouble really has nothing to do with the village cadres, the village cadres have been helping us do our work!" The problem is with the compensation for land acquisition and the three brick factories! These brick factories used to be contracted to the relatives and children of the village cadres, and they were only taken back last year, and the villagers finally shared some money, and now they have cut off the financial route, of course they don't do anything! In addition, our land price is set too low, compared with Wenshan, more than 3,000 acres of land are less, now the benefits of farming are so good, agricultural tax, special product tax are all gone, there are subsidies for growing grain, farmers who go out to work are returning to their hometowns, and the land acquisition environment is not too favorable! ”

Zhang Guichun was alert at this time: It seems that the secretary of the district party committee is not confused, and to a certain extent, he is more sober than he is, and has noticed a series of changes brought about by the latest agricultural policy. Han Giang Province has announced the abolition of agricultural taxes and special product taxes from this year, so that peasants can earn money growing grain and will not easily give up their land. He and his comrades should have thought of this, but they didn't think of it. Wenshan probably thought of it, so he raised the land price.

Lu Tongren continued: "Secretary Zhang, I don't know if you have noticed? Since October last year, signs of a local grain shortage have appeared, first in the provincial capitals, and then in Wenshan and Yinshan, and grain prices have risen all the way. According to the data just released by the National Bureau of Statistics, last year's grain output was only equivalent to the level of 1991, and China's population has increased by more than 100 million. Many farmers have told me that they are overjoyed by the current situation! ”

Zhang Guichun understood, "Secretary Xiao Lu, don't say it, increasing the compensation for land acquisition can be considered, but it can't be considered in this situation of forcing the palace, and we also have to have a negotiation process with Wu Yaya!" ”

Lu Tongren said meaningfully: "Secretary Zhang, I'm afraid it's difficult to negotiate with Wu Yaya, right?" If there is no advantage of low land price, why does he have to invest five or six hundred million yuan in us? ”

Xiang Yangsheng also interjected, "That's it, you know, Mr. Wu is fine, and he can't afford to be early!" ”

Zhang Guichun was silent, and after a while, he asked, "What?" Are you going to force the palace too? ”

Xiang Yangsheng didn't dare to argue, so he smiled and laughed, "How can it, Secretary Zhang!" ”

Lu Tongren said: "Secretary Zhang, there is something I have always wanted to say, the twisted melon is not ...... Won't be sweet......"

Zhang Guichun was angry: "You should know my temper, spitting a pit!" Even if the land acquisition subsidy is increased, Wu Yaya is unwilling to pay this money, and this project will have to be paid, and the city will give some subsidies! I still don't believe that Fang Zhenggang in Wenshan can't get it! Don't forget, Fang Zhenggang and I worked together in the team! ”

Xiang Yangsheng was his old subordinate, and he knew the inside story, so he immediately flattered him and said, "That's!" Secretary Zhang, Fang Zhenggang was still the mile you drove out of Jinchuan back then! If it weren't for this public election, it would be impossible to come to our Yinshan to be the deputy mayor! ”

Zhang Guichun waved his hand and said angrily: "Okay, let's not talk about Fang Zhenggang, let's talk about the things in front of me: see how it ends?" In two hours, it will be dark, and the peasants can't just be allowed to spend the night outside, right? ”

Xiang Yangsheng grinned, and said with a smile as if crying: "Secretary Zhang, you can't invite them to spend the night in the building, right?" ”

This reminded Zhang Guichun, and Zhang Guichun's brows stretched suddenly, "Hey, why can't you invite them to spend the night in the building?" Secretary Lu, to the district head, you can broadcast it now, and invite them to come to the building! There is heating in the building, so you can talk slowly! It can't be solved today, it will be solved tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, anyway, it is a holiday, it will not affect the office, and more importantly, it will not freeze the bad guys, and we can explain it to the top and bottom! ”

Lu Tongren and the comrades of the Public Security Bureau also thought that this was a good idea, and the matter was decided in such a hurry.

However, what Zhang Guichun didn't expect was that after the broadcast, the peasants were still standing on the snow, and no one dared to step into the township building. After asking the comrades of the village committee, they found out that the peasant masses actually thought that this was a trap set by him and **, and they were worried that if they entered the building, they would be charged with some crime and let the public security bureau arrest them.

There was really no way, Zhang Guichun had to hold his broken arm and personally broadcast to the peasant masses, saying that it was freezing and the temperature would drop further at night, and earnestly invited the peasant brothers to spend the night in the building. Only then did the peasants pour into the township building, and in a blink of an eye, the building turned into a big car and horse shop in the countryside.

At this time, Zhao Anbang made another phone call, and Zhang Guichun told him about the decision to invite the peasants into the building to avoid the cold.

Zhao Anbang immediately affirmed it and said: "Okay, good, Comrade Guichun, your decision is very good, and it is a responsible attitude!" Don't be afraid of losing face, it's much better to lose some face than to freeze to death and make a bigger mess! He also instructed, "We must further ease the contradictions, find ways to provide drinking water and food, and pay attention to hygiene!" ”

This is ridiculous! Drinking water and food have been supplied, and the peasant masses are no longer camping here? But he didn't dare to argue with the provincial governor, so he had to stiffen his head and respond: "Then I'...... Let's try to arrange it! ”

Zhao Anbang asked about his injury again, "Hey, Gui Chun, how are you doing now?" Can it still hold up? If you can't do it, go to the hospital and let other comrades handle it, you just need to control the overall situation and command in the hospital! ”

Zhang Guichun already wanted to go back to the city, but when he heard Zhao Anbang say this, he didn't want to go, "Governor Zhao, I'm fine, my arm has been splinted in Jinchuan District Hospital!" Besides, I really don't dare to leave at this time! ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Then you can control it yourself, don't fall in Dokdo Township!" In addition, you also think about it, now that the contradiction is so acute, is the expropriation of these 2,500 acres of land delayed? Let's do the work of the peasants first! ”

Zhang Guichun immediately shouted, "Governor Zhao, there is a situation that I have to reflect: the reason why the peasants in Dodao Township are making trouble this time has a lot to do with Wenshan!" Wenshan does not play cards according to the rules, which raises the price of land acquisition! ”

Zhao Anbang asked rhetorically: "Why does Wenshan want to raise the price of the land?" What is the current situation in agriculture? Farmers' enthusiasm for farming is so high, don't they mention the land price? Gui Chun, you complain less, I see that you are either numb or sluggish! ”

Zhang Guichun didn't dare to say any more, put down the phone and thought, it seems that this time in the competition with Wenshan, he and Yinshan are a little passive. I wanted to attract investment with the advantage of low land prices, but now it seems that I am looking for trouble, the farmers don't do it, and if they don't do it, they will scare Wu Yaya away, Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang of Wenshan are afraid that they will be proud again!

Fortunately, he also left a back hand, and while holding Wu Yaya and the Asian Iron and Steel Federation, he also extended an olive branch to Weiye International, the largest multinational investment company in the province. Weiye International has strong strength, with assets of more than 40 billion yuan, and its subsidiaries are all over the world. What's more interesting is that Bai Yuanwei, the boss of Weiye International, and Fang Zhenggang can't pee in a pot, and Yinshan has no hope of pulling them over.

Just thinking so, the mobile phone rang, and the stationmaster Wang of the Xinhua News Agency's reporter station in Hanjiang actually wanted to come here for an interview!

Zhang Guichun couldn't suppress his desire to get angry, but his mouth was a series of haha, "What are you making a fuss about?" We don't know when this silicon steel project will start, you just want to do publicity for us, you don't need to be so active! ”

Stationmaster Wang said: "No, no, Secretary Zhang, I heard Mayor Wenshan Fang say that you broke your leg when you were hit by a car, and you still insist on working while lying on a stretcher, isn't it?" It seems that you farmers in Dokdo Township are making a petition with you, right? ”

The anger in Zhang Guichun's heart could no longer be suppressed, "Fang Zhenggang is a rumor-mongering fart!" Stationmaster Wang, let me tell you, my leg is not broken, I stand firmly on the land of Yinshan, let that Mayor Fang cry and despair! ”

Stationmaster Wang said: "Secretary Zhang, who of us is with whom?" Why don't I come over and help your brother refute the rumors? ”

Zhang Guichun thought to himself, how could this kind of scene be seen by this reporter Wang Da? He said: "That's it, when you come back after the holiday, I left a few boxes of Wuliangye for your reporter station, and some local products, you'd better drive a car!" ”

Stationmaster Wang Zhile, "I know what you say, brother, don't you want to buy me?" ”

Zhang Guichun didn't have the heart to tease Stationmaster Wang, "Okay, let's just say it, I'm accompanying the leaders of the provincial party committee now!" ”
