Li Rui did not hide it from the two of them and said, "I've already gotten the mayor to seek justice for me, and the city will deal with this matter in the future. Our county doesn't have to do anything to Su Tao, we just have to wait and see. The reason why I'm telling you guys this is to clarify the details of the second collapse this morning so that you guys don't have to worry about it. At the same time, it can also help us resolve the current situation in West Mine Village. "
Bo Yubing looked at him with concern and hesitated.
On the other hand, Fang Qingyun asked, "Did the mayor say how he will deal with Su Tao?"
Li Rui said, "I suggest that he be given a warning."
"What? Warning? That's too light, too light! It's as if he wasn't punished at all. Why would you suggest such a thing? Su Tao is trying to kill you, and you're going to let him off so easily? "
Fang Qingyun yelled in anger. She no longer cared about her image as the Secretary of the County Committee and showed her concern for Li Rui.
It was rare for Bo Yubing to speak up for Li Rui, "That's right. Su Tao has done such a despicable thing, and it's enough to expel him from the party. Not only did he attack you, but he's also attacking the reputation of our Shuanghe County Committee. It's all thanks to you that we figured out their scheme. Otherwise, our Shuanghe County would be famous in the country. Su Tao is truly despicable! "
When Fang Qingyun heard her words, she felt relieved. If Su Tao had really succeeded, then even if he didn't have to take responsibility as the Secretary of the County Committee, he wouldn't have an easy time in the future. Su Tao was despicable because he only cared about his personal grudges and did not care about the lives of others.
Li Rui looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Su Tao is truly despicable. Fortunately, his scheme didn't succeed, and this is one of the reasons why I'm giving him a chance to turn over a new leaf. On the other hand, the county is in a crucial period right now. We have to help the poor, attract investment, crack down on the underground, and deal with the underground cave-in in Xinguang Village. There are many tasks that we need to do. Furthermore, the county government has just completed their work, and they can't afford any more changes. If we punish Su Tao, it will definitely cause a change in the county government, which will greatly affect our work. Hence, I believe that we should give Su Tao a chance. "
The two of them were silent for a moment. Fang Qingyun sighed and said, "I admire your broad-mindedness and your dedication to the public good, but you can't do everything like this. Wouldn't you be suffering for nothing? As the Secretary, I can't just watch you suffer like this. "
Li Rui smiled. "I didn't suffer for nothing. Su Tao will be punished, and this will greatly affect his future development."
Bo Yubing looked at Li Rui with 30% respect, 40% admiration, and 20% resentment in her eyes. She then asked, "Have you ever considered if he would appreciate it if you let him off this time out of kindness for the sake of the public? Who knows, he might hate you even more because of the warning and take revenge on you in the future? "
Fang Qingyun nodded her head. "That's a possibility. Su Tao has always looked down on others because he has a backer in the city. He can only take advantage of others, but he will never be taken advantage of. Now that he has suffered a huge loss from you, how can he take it lying down?"
Li Rui said, "It's fine. I believe that Mayor Yu will teach him a lesson. The main problem now is not how to deal with Su Tao, but how to deal with Xinguang Village? There are two problems. First, the county needs to invest about 15 million yuan to fill up the collapsed land. Second, should we explain the reason to the villagers who are being relocated today and let them move back to the village? Otherwise, the county will have to spend more money if they stay in the temporary settlement for one more day. "
Bo Yubing said, "I haven't reported the solution to the Secretary. Now is a good time to tell him."
Fang Qingyun turned to look at her. "Go ahead."
Bo Yubing said, "Xinguang Village needs to buy coal gangue to fill up the collapsed land. The cost is 10,000 yuan per mu, which is a total of 13 million yuan. Moving ninety villagers will cost about 2 million yuan, which adds up to 15 million yuan. The county definitely won't be able to fork out this sum of money. According to County Magistrate Li's intention, the main culprit of this collapse, a coal mine owner with the surname Zhang, will be fined along with the other coal mine owners. Through the fines, they will be able to get 15 million yuan. I have already gotten the county bureau to arrest the coal mine owners who haven't escaped. As for the main culprit, we are still in the process of arresting them. "
Before Fang Qingyun could comment, Li Rui shook his head bitterly. "I thought that this method was pretty good, but now that I think about it, it's a little childish. It's highly possible that they won't be fined that much. The coal hills in West Mine Village were almost completely mined. Almost every hill was empty. Even if those coal miners went to mine privately every day, how big could it be? How much coal can they dig up? How much money can they earn? Furthermore, that Zhang guy still has to compensate the two victims with his assets, which will cost about 600,000 yuan. The situation doesn't look good! "
Hearing this, Bo Yubing was a little worried. She frowned and the corners of her mouth curled up. However, she inadvertently showed the other charming side of a beautiful county magistrate. Li Rui saw this and was a little fascinated. However, he didn't dare to stare at her for too long and quickly turned his head away.
Fang Qingyun sighed and said, "Let's do it this way. First, let the Bureau of Land and Resources measure and analyze the coal mine owners' illegal mining resources. Then, let the Public Security Bureau interrogate the coal mine owners and find out their income from illegal mining. After a comprehensive assessment, their illegal income will be recovered and they will be fined. After calculating all the recovered and fined income, we will see how far it is from 15 million yuan. If it's far from 15 million yuan, we can only ask for help from the city and the province. If it's not far from 15 million yuan, we will first relocate the villagers who can't live anymore and then slowly manage the collapse."
Bo Yubing and Li Rui didn't have a better idea. After all, the county finance couldn't come up with such a sum of money. Even if they could, they couldn't because they had other uses for it. Both of them nodded silently.
Bo Yubing said, "Then I'll go back and arrange for these two tasks to get the statistics as soon as possible."
Li Rui asked, "What about Lu Guohui? He's still being detained in the county bureau. "
Bo Yubing seemed to be unhappy with him letting Su Tao off so easily. She said, "If you let Su Tao off lightly, then you will have to punish Lu Guohui severely. It can also be considered a form of punishment for Su Tao."
Fang Qingyun also agreed with her view. "I also suggest that Lu Guohui be given a heavier sentence. What he did is equivalent to inciting the public to cause a riot, attacking the government, and severely disrupting the public order. He even had a detonator. No matter where he got the detonator from, his actions are illegal. "
Li Rui knew that he had already promised Lu Guohui that as long as Lu Guohui confessed, he would be given a lighter sentence. He couldn't go back on his words. Hence, he decided to inform Gao Jianxin to reduce Lu Guohui's sentence by one grade. For example, he could reduce Lu Guohui's sentence from three years to one year. That would be enough. "Then leave this matter to me. I'll mention it to Political Commissar Gao and get him to deal with Lu Guohui accordingly."
Bo Yubing and Fang Qingyun did not have any objections. Seeing that there was nothing else to say, Bo Yubing stood up and gave Li Rui a glance, indicating that they could leave.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Fang Qingyun suddenly thought of something and asked Li Rui, "Do you want me and Mayor Bo to talk to Su Tao and give him a warning?"
"No need. I believe that he will learn his lesson." Li Rui replied.
When they walked out of the office, Bo Yubing glanced at Li Rui, but she did not say anything.
Li Rui took the opportunity to talk about another matter, "Mayor, I don't think you've chosen a secretary, right?"
Bo Yubing was stunned before she tilted her head to look at him. "This doesn't seem to be something that you should be concerned about, right?"
Li Rui purposely argued with her, "Why can't I be concerned about it? You're so busy with work, how can you not have a secretary to help you? Without a secretary, you won't be able to finish your work, and if you can't finish it, you might assign it to me. Or if you're frustrated, you might even use me as a punching bag. So it's necessary for me to be concerned about this matter. "
Bo Yubing nearly couldn't hold back her laughter as she glanced at Li Rui. Just when she was about to say, "Can't I assign it to you?" She saw a few people walking over from the opposite corridor with briefcases. They seemed to have gotten off work, and it wasn't convenient for them to talk to Li Rui in front of outsiders. Thus, she asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"
Li Rui said, "I want to recommend my sister to you. She's currently working in the government office. According to her working hours, she's already a veteran cadre. She's also quite smart. When you have time, you can interview her. If she's suitable …"
Bo Yubing walked down the stairs and asked, "What's her name? What's her education background? "
Li Rui replied, "Zhao Chun. She has a bachelor's degree. Nowadays, most of the young civil servants in the government offices have a bachelor's degree. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to take the public exam."
Bo Yubing didn't say anything else. She must have agreed.
The two of them walked out of the building. Bo Yubing didn't even greet Li Rui as she walked towards the entrance of the compound. It seemed like she walked from the government office to the county committee office. Of course, the distance between the two offices wasn't far. They were only separated by a road, and the distance was only about two to three hundred meters. But even so, for some of the county leaders who lived like princes, it was a road that they didn't want to walk. They had to take a car to go back and forth. If they didn't do so, it would be tiring and they wouldn't be able to show off their leadership status.
