Seems like Qiao Jianjun knew his situation very well. Lu Yiwei said, "I am not familiar with Ding Changhua. We just know each other, and we are not friends. If you ask me to talk to him, it might backfire. Secretary Zhang is now studying in Beijing. Before he left, he left everything to County Yang to handle. Is it appropriate to look for him now? Furthermore, even if we meet him, he will not be able to do anything. How can he interfere with the company's business? "
Lu Yiwei poured a bucket of cold water on Qiao Jianjun. He sat there like a frosted eggplant.
Song Yong said, "Old Qiao, didn't you say you are on good terms with County Yang? Why don't you look for him?"
"Sigh! Don't mention it! " Qiao Jianjun sighed. "You also know that he is not on good terms with you. At most, he is interested in the money in your pocket. When we have nothing to do, we can laugh and joke around. But once something happens, he will fall out with you faster than flipping a page. I have looked for him a few times, but he always finds all sorts of excuses to not meet me. I called him on his phone, but he either did not pick up or turned off his phone. It is obvious that he does not want to see me. "
Song Yong said again, "Why are you hanging on to one tree? Don't you have people in the city and province? Hurry up and go to them. If he has such a good relationship, what's the use of looking for us?! Do you think he will listen to me and Standing Committee Lu? "
"Sigh!" Qiao Jianjun sighed again. "I have looked for him, but it's useless. He agreed to help at first, but when he heard it was Ding Changhua from Donghua Group, he immediately changed his mind. He might as well stand on the other party's side and persuade me to sell the coal mine. I … Sigh! "
Looks like this matter is a foregone conclusion. Unless a bigger boss stands out to support him, all his efforts will be in vain. From the township government's point of view, Lu Yiwei is willing to keep Guoguogou Coal Mine. Not only will it increase the tax revenue, but it will also solve a lot of labor problems. If he went to work for Dong Hua Coal Mine, they might not necessarily use local workers. From a safety point of view, Lu Yiwei was willing to let it merge and acquire. After all, Ding Changhua had a lot of capital, and the amount of capital and equipment it invested was incomparable to that of a small coal mine. To a certain extent, it could reduce safety incidents.
Lu Yiwei thought about it calmly and asked, "How much did he agree to buy your coal mine?"
"We haven't talked about that yet." Qiao Jianjun shook his head.
Lu Yiwei said, "Old Qiao, as Song Yong said, as a township government, we don't have much power. Do you think we can talk to Ding Changhua? The other party has come prepared and is determined to eat up your coal mine. I hope that you can face this matter in the right way. If you still have the ability, hurry up and run. But personally, I don't think it's a bad thing for you to sell the coal mine to him. "
"Oh?" Qiao Jianjun raised his head and looked at Lu Yiwei blankly.
Lu Yiwei continued, "There are some things that only you and I know. Actually, your coal mine is almost done. Now that you've crossed the border and dug into Dong Hua Coal Mine, it's good enough that they don't find trouble with you. Why are you still fighting for it?"
Lu Yiwei's words hit the nail on the head. Qiao Jianjun lowered his head and sat there, not saying a word.
Lu Yiwei said, "You've earned enough anyway. If that's the case, why don't you be more straightforward and sell the coal mine to him at a suitable price? If you don't want to leave Shiwan Village, then think of a way to become a deputy mine manager. You have to know that Dong Hua Coal Mine has decided to do a big job in Shiwan Village. It has unlimited potential. If nothing goes wrong, it will become a group enterprise in a few years. When that time comes, you, as a senior figure, will not be treated badly. If you don't think it's interesting, take the money and leave. If you still want to work in the coal mine, you can contract another place. If you don't want to, you can just change your career. "
Song Yong added, "Mr. Lu is right. If I were you, I would just take the money and leave. If you insist on fighting to the death, I'm afraid you'll end up with nothing. Go back and think about it. "
Qiao Jianjun did not speak for a long time. Finally, he slapped his thigh and stood up. "I'll go back and think about it."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival was raining heavily. It was supposed to be the season of Xiao Yu, the river gurgling, and the spring grass sprouting, creating a solemn and refreshing atmosphere. However, the border town on the Loess Plateau in the west was dry and windy. The 24 Solar Terms were based on the Central Plains. Obviously, Nanyang County had to delay it by half a season. Everywhere was barren and withered grass, keeping up with the steps of spring. However, the tail of winter refused to leave.
Qingming Festival was also known as Cold Food Festival. According to legend, Jin Gongzi Chong 'er went into exile to escape persecution. On the way, he was tired and hungry. His personal minister, Jie Zitui, cut a piece of meat from his leg and cooked soup for him. Later, Chong 'er became the emperor, the famous Jin Wengong. He rewarded the exiled minister heavily, but he forgot about Jie Zitui. Many people persuaded Jie Zitui to ask for a reward, but he was unmoved. He brought his old mother to live in seclusion in the Mianshan Mountains. When Jin Wengong found out, he was ashamed and personally went to the Mianshan Mountains to ask him to come out. However, the Mianshan Mountains were dangerous. Finding someone was easier said than done. Someone suggested using fire to force Jie Zitui out. He did not expect that Jie Zitui would be burned to death. Jin Wengong was very sad. When putting the coffin, a piece of cloth was found in a hole in the tree. On it was written, "I cut my flesh to offer my loyalty to the emperor. I hope the emperor will always be Qingming." In order to commemorate him, Jin Wengong ordered that day to be Cold Food Festival. Of course, this was only a legend. Whether it was true or not, there was no way to verify it.
Cold Food, as the name suggested, prohibited eating cold food with fire. Qingming Festival was just a solar term. In the Hundred Questions of the Seasons, there was a saying, "All living things grow at this time, all clean and bright. That is why it is called Qingming. "As early as the Warring States Period, there was a custom of offering sacrifices and sweeping tombs. In the Tang Dynasty, it was officially established. As for how Cold Food and Qingming Festival were combined, there was no way to verify it.
Of course, Qingming Festival did more than that. Some scholars and people with leisure and elegant minds gave new life to it. They would go hiking in the green willows, look for flowers, and look for the taste of spring. But how could the villagers have the leisure to do so? Before the rainy season came, they hurriedly repaired their houses and prepared for the spring ploughing. And for the township cadres in the north, Qingming Festival was a level one battle preparation. There was no helping it, climbing on other people's graves and watching them wail like ghosts and howl like wolves. If something happened to someone's area, it would be a very serious matter.
On the day before Qingming Festival, whether it was the province, county, or township, everyone from top to bottom was holding meetings to make arrangements. The province held a video conference, followed by the city, then the county, township, village, and villager groups … The contents were all the same, they had to fight the Qingming Festival well.
At the county forest protection and fire prevention work meeting, the county head, Yang Derong slammed the table and roared, "If anyone drops the ball at this crucial time, the person in charge of the township will be immediately dismissed. There will be no room for negotiation. We will also adopt a retroactive investigation mechanism to investigate the responsibility of the person responsible. There will be no mercy and no tolerance! " Such a tough tone made the township cadres even more tense. When they returned to the township government, they slammed the table and said the same thing.
The mountains in Shiwan Village were mostly made of limestone. There was almost no forest land, so the task of forest protection and fire prevention was relatively easy. And on the other side of the mountain, it was all Pinus tabulaeformis. Once it caught fire, it was very difficult to put it out. Lu Yiwei did not berate his subordinates like Yang Derong. Instead, he adopted a more humane conciliatory strategy, which was generally accepted by the grass-roots cadres.
Lu Yiwei specially took out 500,000 yuan from the township finance. The government officials and village leaders would receive a subsidy of 100 yuan for every day they were on duty. Once a fire broke out, as long as they went up the mountain to fight the fire, they would receive 500 yuan per person, which would be cashed on the spot. In addition, whenever a fire broke out in a village, they would immediately be rewarded 20,000 yuan. Once a fire broke out, not only would there be no reward, but the corresponding amount would also be deducted from the transfer payment. As a result, almost every village was in high spirits, vowing to take the money.
Lu Yiwei's move was definitely a bold innovation. Under normal circumstances, it was the township government and the village who asked for money to spend. There had never been a township government giving money to the village. This was definitely the first time. There would always be brave men under generous rewards. He deeply engraved the essence of this. One had to know that the villagers did not care how extravagantly you boasted. They only cared about the benefits in front of them. Getting the money was the most important thing.
As soon as he said this, almost everyone in the meeting stood up and applauded. After the meeting ended, everyone was overjoyed and rushed to spread the news. However, Song Yong said worriedly, "Yiwei, this will undoubtedly bring pressure to the other towns. Aren't you afraid of attracting criticism?"
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and said, "I don't care what they do. As long as Shiwan Village is safe, this money is well spent. Who cares what they say? If they have the ability, they can follow suit."
The news quickly spread to Wujiao Town, the richest town in Nanyang County. When Zhou Sihai, the Party Committee Secretary, heard this, he had already held a meeting, but he organized a meeting overnight to imitate Shiwan Village and adopt a reward system. As expected, the villagers were all enthusiastic and actively supported it. When Beihe Town got the news, the Party Committee Secretary, Liang Daoyi, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He also adopted the same method, but with a lower standard. Even Guyang Village, which was so poor that they could not even feed themselves, followed suit … It could not be helped. No one wanted to be caught as a negative example at this time. After all, they were not spending their own money, as long as they could keep their official positions.
