There were hundreds of people living in more than a hundred households in the village. They all lived in dirty, old, and small, old-fashioned triangular tents. Some tents even had five or six people living in them. Li Rui had lived in such tents before. He knew that there was enough space for one person, but it was very crowded for two people. It was really hard to imagine how five or six people could live in them. He was secretly surprised. The disaster victims were actually settled like this? What was even more surprising was that he didn't notice it when he lived here before.
There were two thin military blankets in each tent. One was laid out, and the other was covered. If there were more people in the tent, they could get an extra blanket. These thin blankets were also very old and had traces of insects and rats. It was obvious that they were quite old.
When Song Chaoyang saw this scene, it was as if he had returned to the difficult times three years ago. His expression was very bad. He asked a thin old man in his sixties or seventies about the food and accommodation in this settlement.
Before the old man could open his mouth, a man in his thirties interrupted and said with a smile on his face, "The food and accommodation are very good! Ever since the flood, the leaders of the county and town have paid special attention to our Xishan Village. They have deployed disaster relief and resettlement work on the spot many times. Under the correct leadership of the county and town leaders, our village adopted a centralized method to settle the 115 households of the disaster victims, a total of 426 people. Every household was allocated basic necessities such as blankets, toiletries, drinking water, cutlery, food, and so on. At the same time, we actively implemented relief and subsidies for the disaster victims. The county leaders also distributed condolences to the disaster victims: 300 yuan per household for disaster relief, 1,000 yuan per household for total collapse, 2,000 yuan for family members of those who died or went missing due to the disaster, and 5,000 yuan for family members of those who died due to the disaster. Currently, the emotions of the disaster victims are stable. They are full of confidence in defeating the flood and the post-disaster reconstruction work, haha. "
After this person finished speaking, he chuckled. His smile was very silly and sincere.
Li Rui only wanted to kick him. He happened to know this person. He was the party secretary of Xishan Village. From what he said just now, he knew that he was prepared. Perhaps the town had already asked the village party secretaries to prepare similar speeches for Song Chaoyang and the other leaders from the city.
Song Chaoyang looked at him expressionlessly and asked the old man, "Sir, is what he said true?" Just as the old man opened his mouth to speak, the man said, "Of course it's true. As the Party secretary of Xishan Village, I have to be responsible for my words. I have to be responsible for the spirit of the Party and the leadership." Song Chaoyang looked at him and said, "Are you responsible for the people of Xishan Village?" The man was stunned, then said, "Of course I am." Song Chaoyang said, "Well, since you said you're responsible for the villagers, then let me ask you. There's a family of six people living in a tent over there. Do you think it can fit?" The man was at a loss and said, "They should be able to live here. Otherwise, how did they survive these days?"
A cold smile appeared on Song Chaoyang's face as he said, "Should be able to stay? What a good 'should'. Tell me, which tent are you living in? "The man stuttered and said," I … I don't live here. I live in town. "Song Chaoyang nodded as if he understood and asked," How many people do you have in your family? " The man didn't understand what he meant, his face was full of doubt as he said, "Five people …" Song Chaoyang said, "Very well then, your family of five will move over here and stay in this tent for the night. Let me see if it's okay." The man's face turned red in an instant. He hummed and hawed, but didn't say anything else.
Song Chaoyang turned around and asked Li Yulan, "Secretary Li, who's in charge of settling the disaster victims in Xishan Village? Bring him here, I have something to ask him. "
Li Rui looked at Li Yulan nervously, hoping that she wouldn't say, "I'm the one in charge." His original intention was to let her perform in front of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. It would be even better if she could get some merit, but he didn't expect that she would be implicated. If he had known this would happen, he would never have recommended her to his boss.
Li Yulan was very calm and said, "Song Shuji, I'm in charge of the disaster relief work in Xishan Village. The disaster victims' resettlement is the responsibility of the county civil affairs bureau's disaster relief department."
When Li Rui heard this, he was slightly relieved, but he was afraid that Song Chaoyang would hold Li Yulan accountable for other things, such as her lack of supervision.
Fortunately, Song Chaoyang didn't have any intention of doing anything to Li Yulan and said calmly, "Are the comrades from the civil affairs bureau here?" Li Yulan said, "The disaster relief department's Chief Chen seems to be in town." Song Chaoyang said, "Can you call him over?" Li Yulan said, "Okay, I'll try." Then she walked to the side and made a call.
After a while, Li Yulan walked back and said, "Song Shuji, he'll be here soon."
Song Chaoyang nodded and asked the old man, "Uncle, is what your village party secretary said true? The county gave each of your families relief money? "The old man looked at the village party secretary but didn't dare to speak. Song Chaoyang's face darkened and he looked at the village party secretary.
The village party secretary was glared at by Song Chaoyang's sharp gaze and said with a smile, "We're rich, we're rich."
Li Rui felt that there was something fishy about this. He turned his gaze to Li Yulan and gave her a look, indicating that if she knew, it would be best for her to tell Song Chaoyang. Li Yulan understood his gaze, but her expression was a little hesitant. Li Rui knew that she was afraid of retaliation from the county leaders, but there was no other way. They had already been forced to this point. If she didn't come out and explain, Song Chaoyang would definitely lose face. Did he, the dignified secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, have to nag and persuade the old man? So he gave her a look with a more resolute gaze.
Li Yulan was helpless and gently shook her head. She looked at Li Rui with eyes full of hidden bitterness. She lightly coughed and said, "Song Shuji, I know about this matter." Song Chaoyang looked at her and said, "Oh?" Li Yulan's expression was a little restrained as she said, "The county did promise this, but the relief money has not been distributed. Not only Xishan Village, which was the most seriously affected, but no village in Jiupo Town has received relief money. "Song Chaoyang frowned and asked," Why hasn't it been distributed? Not to mention that the provincial and municipal levels have already allocated relief funds, even the county finance department can't take out such a small amount of money? "
Li Yulan awkwardly said, "I'm not too sure about the specific situation, but the county leaders said that the roads in the disaster area are basically paralyzed. Even if the victims receive relief money, they have no place to buy things. Moreover, they live in resettlement sites, so the safety of their property cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it's better not to distribute the relief money and wait until normal life is restored. In any case, food and daily necessities are distributed uniformly, so the victims don't need the money. " Song Chaoyang said, "That's a good reason, but haven't the roads in the town and village already restored normal traffic? Why hasn't it been distributed? Alright, the ordinary victims can be excluded, but have the families of the victims received any consolation money? "Li Yulan shook her head.
Song Chaoyang did not say anything and stared at the village party secretary with a torch-like gaze. The village party secretary should have known his identity long ago. At this moment, he was so scared that his face was pale and his body trembled. He did not dare to look him in the eye.
Song Chaoyang asked, "Didn't you just say that you've distributed the relief money?" The village party secretary mumbled and could not speak. Song Chaoyang said, "Didn't you just say that you're responsible for the party spirit and the higher-ups? I think you're only responsible for the higher-ups, right? " The village party secretary's face turned from white to red. He stood there awkwardly, like a student who had been punished for making a mistake.
After a while, a Santana sedan drove over. Li Rui looked over and thought that it would be someone from the Shuanghe County Civil Affairs Bureau. Who would have thought that the person who came first was the county magistrate, Luo Dawei?
Luo Dawei walked over quickly and said to Song Chaoyang eagerly, "Song Chaoyang, I heard that you wanted the comrades from the Civil Affairs Bureau to report on the relief work for the victims. I'm in charge of this area, so I know the situation very well, so I came with the car. Don't blame me, haha. "
After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a big belly stood behind him with a respectful smile on his face. His eyes swept past Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, and the others in succession. He nodded from time to time, appearing extremely respectful.
Song Chaoyang said, "It's good that you're here. I have something to ask you." After that, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Are you from the Civil Affairs Bureau?" The man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Respected Song Chaoyang, hello. I'm Chen Yiguang from the Disaster Relief Department of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I'm currently in charge of the department." Song Chaoyang asked, "Is your department in charge of all the settlements for the victims in the disaster area?" Chen Yiguang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes." Song Chaoyang said, "How do you settle the victims? A family of six is only given one tent. Can they all live in it? " Chen Yiguang was not anxious at all. He sighed and said, "Song Chaoyang, you don't know. The county's finances are tight, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has no money. These tents were accumulated a few years ago … "Song Chaoyang did not wait for him to finish and interrupted," You say you have no money. Fine, then let me ask you. What about the special disaster relief funds allocated by the provincial and municipal levels? And the relief supplies from all sides? "Chen Yiguang's face was obviously a little embarrassed." Uh … "
Luo Dawei interrupted, "Song Chaoyang, I understand the situation in this regard. Please allow me to explain it to you." Song Chaoyang looked at him. Luo Dawei said calmly, "The provincial and municipal levels have indeed allocated relief funds, but because of problems with the transfer of funds, it has been delayed for a long time. At present, we are actively working on it, and I believe it will be ready soon. As for the relief supplies, the county's attitude towards the relief supplies is that they must be distributed openly. The relief funds must be distributed according to the principle of 'four open and one supervised.' One of the four open principles is that the total amount of relief funds must be made public. This requires us to be very careful in the statistics of relief supplies. But in reality, because the relief supplies arrived at different times, it has seriously affected the work of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It has delayed for a long time, and the supplies that should have been distributed have not been distributed yet. On this point, we have made some mistakes in our work. However, the people in the disaster area are very kind and honest. They have expressed their understanding of the delay in the relief supplies and their understanding of our work. This has moved us very much. "
