Chapter 165 Illegal Construction
Catching up with the trend of green food and getting caught up in the news, the daylily business in Boxing County became booming in an instant.
In order to meet the expanding market demand, several towns and villages in Boxing County soon planted daylily and set up daylily processing plants.
The towns and villages have a new source of economic income, and Boxing County has an additional product that it can produce.
At the same time, it also solved the problem of reemployment for hundreds of educated youth who returned to the city.
In fact, this project is only a joint venture between township and village enterprises, and the county did not contribute a penny.
But Zhou Haiyang personally caught it and achieved good results. The brand of the daylily industry in Boxing County became more and more famous.
Whenever provincial and municipal leaders come to inspect work, they want to take a look at the status of township enterprises.
In this way, daylily has become a green food for entertaining superiors.
No matter what you stew, stir-fry, or boil, you must put a handful of daylily.
At the same time, it has also become a gift for foreign guests.
When the Boxing County government agencies go to the city and the province to do business, they also bring daylilies with them, saying they are a local specialty.
Xiao Guorui said in front of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Pei Changyuan and Mayor Tan Bin: "The daylilies we grow in Boxing are from the Ocean brand."
…
Unexpectedly, because of daylily, Zhou Haiyang became more and more famous in Boxing County, even surpassing Xiao Guorui.
Although he is only a deputy county magistrate, his deeds in leading people out of poverty and becoming rich in Yaolin Town have been reported by various media.
The heavy accumulation of popularity in the past few years, coupled with the continuous accumulation of popularity now, has made him a completely famous figure in Huaining City.
When leaders from the provinces and cities arrive in Boxing County, they all ask: Is Zhou Haiyang there?
And you have to ask him to accompany you when you call him. Even if you don't have time to accompany him, you still have to meet him, chat for a few words, and find out who he is and what he looks like.
As a result, Zhou Haiyang's popularity in the county suddenly surged.
Almost everyone who met him would come up and say hello warmly, even people from the county government who met him every day did the same.
What's more, given the relationship between Zhou Haiyang and Xiao Guorui, as well as his background in the city and province.
In the eyes of these people, if there is something to report, reporting to Zhou Haiyang is not much different from reporting to the county party committee secretary or county magistrate.
Because Zhou Haiyang has enough weight in their hearts.
Even if it has nothing to do with Director Zhou Haiyang's work, the departments below are willing to talk to him and listen to his opinions and suggestions.
Just talking to him seems to be more convincing and more confident than not talking at all.
Some people even showed off when reporting on their work: They had already told Deputy County Magistrate Zhou about this matter!
…
Of course, being too popular also brought psychological pressure to Zhou Haiyang.
He was lifted up a lot in the eyes of everyone, and he obviously felt that he was a bit more accomplished.
Whether in official circles or in the workplace, especially for those who are engaged in politics, this is a violation of heavenly rules and a taboo.
Although you are the deputy county magistrate, you are only a deputy after all.
There are also county party committee secretaries, county magistrates, deputy secretaries, and executive deputy county magistrates. You are just their assistant.
Moreover, there are deputy county magistrates who are no lower than you, and even have senior qualifications than you.
Whenever he thinks of this, Zhou Haiyang can't help but shudder and feel scared.
He knew Xiao Guorui very well, he was a straight man, and he admired him very much.
The two have a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship.
He is the top leader of the county committee, and the friendship between the two will not be detrimental to his work.
Most of the leaders in the county had great respect for the old leader when Zhou Mingshan was the first Huaining Municipal Party Committee Secretary.
In view of this relationship, I am usually very friendly and polite to Zhou Haiyang, and I will not argue with him about this.
But despite this, Zhou Haiyang still felt that it was better to be careful and give credit to every county leader as much as possible.
…
Half a year after Zhou Haiyang took office as deputy county magistrate of Boxing County, one day, the Boxing County Party Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee.
At the meeting, Xiao Guiyou, the director of urban construction, reported on the illegal construction problem that has not been solved in Boxing County in recent years.
The incident was caused by Xiao Guiyou's report to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
The National People's Congress believed that Xiao Guiyou's work report was vague on the issue of illegal construction.
In response, the County People's Congress inspected the county's construction and found that there were many problems with illegal construction.
The National People's Congress proposed to the county committee that the problem of illegal construction has been delayed over the years and it is time to resolve it.
Therefore, the Boxing County Party Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee and asked Xiao Guiyou to make a special report at the meeting.
There are many people in Boxing County who have long used their various backgrounds and connections to take up more space when building houses.
Illegal buildings in the county slowly grew from scratch, from small to large, from few to many.
As a result, the houses on both sides of the street are high and low, scattered and disorderly.
Since the reform and opening up, as the population of Boxing County has continued to expand, the land in the county has become increasingly tight.
As land became tight, those who originally owned houses on both sides of the county streets tried every means to knock down their old houses and rebuild new ones.
Once they rebuild, they will have to work hard to expand the area. If they can expand it by one meter, they will expand it by one meter. If they can expand it by 50 centimeters, they will expand it by 50 centimeters.
In short, if you don't take advantage, you can't take advantage of it.
As a result, the sidewalks on both sides of the road became Tang Monk's meat for these people to rob.
The entire street in the county town was squeezed, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes thick and sometimes thin.
Not only is it an eyesore, it also brings a lot of inconvenience and safety hazards to pedestrians and vehicular traffic in the city.
People and vehicles share the same road, and traffic accidents of various sizes occur constantly.
In the early 1980s, when this evil trend first emerged, the county government made up its mind to control illegal buildings and implemented forced demolitions, which had some effects.
But later, when a man named Wu Wei was building a house, he occupied a meter wide space on the main street, forming a terrible traffic bottleneck.
Wu Wei's uncle was the deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau at the time, and he relied on this backing to support him. This man was bold, unreasonable and unreasonable, and was known as "fearless".
He is not afraid of heaven or earth, and he will turn a deaf ear to anyone who tries to work with him.
Not only did he refuse to dismantle it, he even threatened, "If he comes again, I will break his legs."
There are axes, kitchen knives, hatchets and other knives in his house at all times.
Whenever law enforcement comes to the door, he will take these knives and fight with them.
Wu Wei's arrogance is representative. In the final analysis, it is still the government's ineffectiveness in doing things.
Regarding Wu Wei's illegal construction, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau and the court staff at the time all worked ambitiously.
In the end, without exception, everyone was scared away by his "fearless" behavior.
To be fearless means to be fearless. If you are not afraid of heaven and earth, what else do you have to be afraid of?
Every time he went back to work, Wu Wei raised his knife and shouted, and those people did not dare to take a step forward.
As a result, no one went there anymore and no one dared to go.
The house may not be demolished, but lives cannot be thrown away.
Later, the former urban construction director became the deputy county magistrate and was still in charge of urban construction work.
Faced with this "fearless" man, the leaders of the county government at that time held a meeting and decided to operate on him, determined to cut off this cancer.
The secretary and the county magistrate both said in unison that all resistance and interference must be eliminated and decisive measures must be taken to forcibly demolish Wu Wei's illegal buildings.
The specific work is jointly handled by the county urban construction bureau, county court, and county public security bureau.
But things must settle down, and within three days, someone will come forward to intercede.
This puts the officers of the court and the Public Security Bureau who perform specific tasks in a difficult position.
Wu Wei's uncle is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, named Wu You.
Taro is the abbreviation of taro.
The reason why he is called "Wu Yu" is that he was born in a difficult period and grew up eating taro from birth.
So Wu Wei's grandparents gave him this name.
Although he also supported the demolition, his father died young and his family was spoiled, unreasonable and fearless, so he had nothing to do.
Therefore, someone nicknamed him "helpless" behind his back.
If the public security officers on duty really demolished Wu Wei's house, they would be in trouble with Wu You in terms of face. Where would they put their face in the future?
Besides, Wu Wei has many relatives and friends in the county, has opened several shops, and is considered a wealthy and powerful person in Boxing County.
The most important thing is that Wu Wei's grandfather Wu Neng is in Taiwan.
When the Taiwanese compatriots returned from visiting relatives that year, the county party committee and county government leaders met Mr. Wu who was holding a cane.
Moreover, Mr. Wu also invested in several small hydropower stations and two primary schools in the county, which can be regarded as a contribution to his hometown.
A "fearless" plus a "helpless" plus Mr. Wu Neng.
Taken together for various reasons, if Wu Wei's house is demolished, it will not be offended by one person, but by a group of people.
