Jinjiling is 50 kilometers away from the county seat of Beifang County, which is located in the mountainous area in the northeast corner of Chuncheng, and not far east is the boundary of Wuping City, a famous coal mining center in northern Liaoning Province.

It is precisely by virtue of this advantage of being on a mountain range with the excellent coal mines of Wuping City, Beifang County has also become a rare county with large coal resources in Chuncheng City.

Beifang County's economic status in Chuncheng is not very high, and it is an agricultural county that does not have too many traditional industries, and after having such a natural resource as coal mines, more energy is devoted to this aspect.

Chen Youwei did not pay too much attention to Beifang County.

The issue of reforming a large number of state-owned enterprises in urban areas has already consumed too much of his thoughts, and Beifang County, an agricultural county that has nothing to do with the overall situation, has been put aside for the time being.

Jinjiling Coal Mine is not the only coal mine, a state-owned coal mine built in the early 80s is the main force of coal mining here.

In ninety-three years, the state once issued a policy on how to further use social funds and resources to develop mineral resources.

Many provinces have suspended such a policy in view of the huge damage and waste of local resources caused by the influx of social funds into the development of mineral resources.

The local government of Chuncheng, especially Beifang County, has not stopped the implementation of this policy, which is an area with rich coal resources in Jinjiling, which has a good scale of state-owned coal mines, and there are many small private coal mines.

Looking at the chaotic scene of people coming and going, Liu Wendong, secretary of the Beifang County Party Committee, who arrived in a hurry, was full of redness, and he never dreamed that such a vicious accident would occur in his own territory.

Unable to reprimand the leaders of the Jinjiling State-owned Coal Mine, Liu Wendong coldly glanced at the deputy county magistrate Niu Ben beside him and said, "County magistrate Niu, how is the situation?" ”

Niu Ben, who is in his early forties, is a bag at the moment, and a few days ago he praised the Jinjiling Coal Mine at the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, and such an accident happened in the blink of an eye, and it is really said that he has the greatest pressure on him.

It is not a secret in the whole of Beifang County that he is not in agreement with Liu Wendong, who is about to retire from the second line, and Niu Ben, who is arrogant in the background, does not take Liu Wendong in his eyes on weekdays.

Even if Niu Ben is arrogant on weekdays, he knows that if too many workers are killed in this mining disaster, he, the county magistrate, will also be to blame.

"Secretary Liu, the specific situation is still being counted, as of now, there are about more than 100 miners who have been blocked below, and there is no news!" Niu Ben reported the situation with a gray face.

Liu Wendong's heart trembled, and he muttered to himself: "More than a hundred? So much? ”

Niu Ben was also depressed in his heart, if there were really so many miners who had an accident all of a sudden, I am afraid that their Beifang County would suddenly become famous throughout the country.

"Dididi" A convoy appeared in the sight of everyone in the distance, Liu Wendong's body was shocked, and he said softly: "The city leaders are really fast!" ”

After all, the young man didn't have much experience in dealing with such things, so Niu Ben asked in a rare low voice: "Secretary, how will you reply to the inquiries of the city leaders later?" ”

Liu Wendong glanced at Niu Ben, who had lost his square inch a little, and sighed: "Don't think about hiding such a thing, if you make a mistake, the fruit is not so delicious!" ”

Chen Youwei's tall figure walked in the front, Liu Wendong frowned lightly, he had dealt with this young mayor, and he knew that the other party, a hardliner who couldn't put sand in his eyes, came to the scene in person, and the entire Beifang County was full of mourning.

"Mayor Chen, it's all our work mistakes that have caused such a big loss to the country!" Liu Wendong, who is an old man, bowed his head and admitted his mistakes.

"Secretary Jiang has a foreign affairs reception event, and he will come over later!"

Chen Youwei stretched out his hand to shake hands with Liu Wendong and Niu Ben, and said calmly: "Your current focus is to actively rescue and deal with the aftermath, and other things will be talked about later!" ”

"Yes, yes, we're trying to salvage!" Liu Wendong has long been accustomed to the vigorous and resolute style of the young mayor, and his heart is a little relaxed.

Niu Ben still wanted to try to explain two sentences, and hurriedly said: "This accident was completely an accident, and no one thought that there would be a sudden ...... of water penetration."

Chen Youwei stopped the footsteps of the mine at the scene of the past incident, looked back at Niu Ben strangely and said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Niu is so sure? Judging by the situation at this scene, the investigation of the accident has not yet begun, right? ”

"Uh......" Niu Ben was speechless for a while, not knowing how to continue.

Liu Wendong was happy in his heart, he had long been a little impatient with his deputy with low eyes.

When he came to the vicinity of the mine, Chen Youwei did not get too close, so as not to affect the activities of the workers who were actively rescuing them.

"What's going on now?"

Chen Youwei carefully observed the situation near the mine, and called Liming, the deputy county magistrate in charge of mining and safety in Beifang County, who was commanding at the scene, and asked.

The silver-haired dawn looked very bad, and it had only been more than two hours since the moment of the mining disaster, but he seemed to have felt it as if it had been hundreds of millions of years.

As the deputy county magistrate in charge of mining and safety, Liming knew that no matter what the final outcome of the mining disaster was, the board that hit him would not be able to escape.

"Report to the mayor, so far, more than 50 workers have successfully escaped, and there are still 105 people trapped in the tunnel below!" Dawn shouted in a dry throat.

"Are there any injuries?" Chen Youwei asked this most critical question.

"Seven people were killed!" Dawn's words flickered.

Chen Youwei really frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Seven people were killed?" ”

Dawn lamented in his heart, and he knew that such a data report would definitely cause the young mayor to question it.

Chen Youwei naturally has his own suspicions, and according to the definition standards for extraordinarily serious accidents in northern Liaoning Province, accidents that cause more than seven people at one time are all recognized as extraordinarily serious accidents.

Now that the accident is not officially over, it is still unknown how many workers will be killed or injured in the future, but it is clear that the coal mine and the local government in Beifang County have a sense of self-protection for the aftermath.

"Comrade Liming, I don't care what is the basis behind this data you reported. But I want to remind you that in the face of such a disaster, what you need to do now as a first-level local government is to deal with the aftermath well, instead of rushing to wipe the shit off your butt so early! ”

Chen Youwei's face was cold, and he said coldly without showing any mercy: "How many human factors are in such a bad mining disaster, it needs to be seriously and scientifically investigated by the relevant parties, and it will not be easy to draw conclusions just based on the descriptions of a few parties!" ”

Liming was like a mournful examiner, nodded dejectedly and admitted his mistake: "Mayor Chen's criticism is right, I think too much about some things!" ”

Chen Youwei bowed slightly, and didn't say more, what is more needed at such a moment is to actively rescue the trapped miners.

"Secretary Liu, hurry up and let someone transfer a higher power pump, otherwise this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse!"

Chen Youwei noticed the pumping machine pulled by the coal mine itself, and waved his hand very dissatisfied: "If Beifang County doesn't have it, it will be transferred from the city to speed up the rescue!" ”

Niu Ben, who felt ignored by the young mayor, had an ugly face, but he could only stand aside silently.

The scorching sun overhead gradually moved westward, and Chen Youwei always stuck to the front line of rescue.

With the appearance of Jiang Zhenbang, the main leaders of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee gradually appeared at the site of the Jinjiling mining disaster.

"Mayor Chen, how's the situation?"

Jiang Zhenbang's face was calm, but the anxiety that flashed in his eyes was still obvious at a glance.

Chen Youwei shook hands with Jiang Zhenbang and stood side by side and said in a deep voice: "It's a little bad, there are still more than 100 miners trapped below!" ”

Glancing coldly at Liu Wendong, Niu Ben and others, Jiang Zhenbang was calculating in his heart, he already had a basic understanding of the situation in Chuncheng, and now he has no hesitation at the beginning of his tenure.

Although the Dong family did not unconditionally support Jiang Zhenbang, the secretary of the municipal party committee who was a somewhat empty commander, as they did at the beginning, there were still many people in Chuncheng who took the initiative to lean towards him by virtue of their nominal number one advantage.

With the existence of Jiang Zhenbang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Liaobei Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Chuncheng City Party Committee, and the support of the vice governor of Liaobei who is in charge of industry, the influence of the Department of Planning and Economics in northern Liaoning is absolutely not to be underestimated.

A lot of changes have taken place in Chuncheng in the past six months, and Jiang Zhenbang knows this very well, and he has always taken the position of sitting and watching the open and secret battles of the old and powerful Dong family.

Only Chen Youwei, the young mayor who made him a little incomprehensible, made him always have a very high vigilance.

Since Jiang Zhenbang took office, there have been more and more matters that need to be discussed and coordinated in various sectors of Chuncheng, and the frequency of meetings of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has increased significantly compared with the past.

Jiang Zhenbang, who was in a somewhat embarrassing position, was able to clearly discover that the young mayor, who was not much different from him, basically adopted an attitude of not caring about his own affairs in the game of the Standing Committee.

Regardless of Dong Jiannan's proposal or Jiang Zhenbang's own proposal, as long as it does not involve the economic development of Spring City, this young mayor has always taken the middle route. Unless the overall situation has been decided, he will definitely not express his opinion lightly.

Strictly speaking, Chen Youwei's attitude on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee made everyone including Jiang Zhenbang breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Standing Committee, which was already full of disputes, adding a young mayor with a lot of strength and strong influence to join in, it is estimated that the scene will be even more ugly, and there is no need to do anything at the meeting.

In his heart, Jiang Zhenbang still doesn't want to offend the other party easily, but he also knows very well that individuals with their own interests want to keep the situation that the well water does not interfere with the river water, which is not realistic.

Jiang Zhenbang and the others are not completely ignorant of some of the actions that Chen Youwei carried out in Chuncheng District and County, although they are amused by the young mayor's somewhat abandonment of the basics, but they never dare to easily ignore the huge destructive power that the young mayor may cause to them.

Quietly observing the young mayor's somewhat anxious face, Jiang Zhenbang sighed secretly, I don't know what kind of thoughts this young man will have about such a rare opportunity as the Jinjiling mine disaster in Ludao?

Is he really so calm and doesn't have any more thoughts about the power in his hands?

Jiang Zhenbang expressed deep doubts about this.
