924. Chapter 924 Breaking through the checkpoint (4)
"Yes, this is a man-made disaster!" Old Ye's expression was very serious. He interrupted Bai Yintian's words and asked sternly: "How many people were killed? How many people were rescued?"
"At present, more than 60 people have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, of which more than 20 have been seriously injured. Only more than ten people were slightly injured. More than ten people are being rescued. Fifty-seven people have been confirmed to be killed." Although this is the matter of the local government, when talking about these numbers, Bai Yintian's eyes still dare not look at Mr. Ye's sharp gaze.
"These are all young and middle-aged male migrant workers who have gone to the city to work!" Mr. Lin, who was silent, finally couldn't help but speak. "There are at least fifty peasant families who lack the main labor force. In this way, how can their families live in the future?"
"I think the province will make arrangements for this." Bai Yintian replied.
"Hmph!" Mr. Lin made a disdainful voice from his nose. Isn't it equivalent to daydreaming for these idiots in Jiangnan Province?
"Since everyone has been sent to the hospital, what's going on right now?" Although the matter is already very big, Miss Tong always feels that Bai Yintian's words have not yet reached the point.
"Xiao Xin asked right, don't you go to the hospital now. Why are you going to the accident site together?" Old Ye also asked.
As he was talking, the scene of the accident in front had already caught Miss Tong's eyes.
The convoy just now stopped on the road two hundred meters away in front. On the left side of the road was a large open space, with many building materials piled up on the open space. At this moment, the materials were covered with thick snow. What is really eye-catching is that people were standing in a mess on the snow.
Seeing such a scene, the people in the car suddenly calmed down and looked at the situation ahead. As the car slowly approached, it was clear that the crowd was in the biting ice and snow, forming a scene of confrontation between the two sides.
On one side are migrant workers wearing single clothes and trembling with cold wind. The number of migrant workers seems to be over a thousand.
On the other side are government officials wearing thick coats. Although the number of officials is small, there are riot police officers holding riot weapons in their hands. In this way, the forces of both sides are equal.
At this moment, the governor standing behind the military and police was holding a treble and exhorting loudly: "Workers and masters! The bank is preparing cash for you. Now please go with us to a warm place to avoid the wind and snow. If you have any problems, can we sit down and solve them slowly?"
I have heard of this too many times. Migrant workers have long since disbelief policies commonly used by the government.
"We, as long as we get the wages, we will go home." The crowd immediately replied with a trembling voice.
Then everyone agreed: "No, that's right. We don't go anywhere. We only need wages and go home."
"Workers, you will definitely pay your wages. But we can't get it in this snowy and ice! When everyone gets the money, they should get sick. Isn't this not worth the loss?" Liu Keyuan's eyes were already glancing at the car behind him. His words became more and more emotional. However, he was very nervous. He knew very well, no matter whether the person who came was Mr. Ye or not. As long as today's matters were spread to the top, his political life cliff would be over.
Liu Keyuan didn't know that the more he said it, the less the migrant workers could believe him. The leading migrant workers before replied sarcastically: "Governor Xie is concerned. But we are freezing sick, and we still have to be cured. If we die like those guys last night, there will be only a pile of black bones. Who will take care of our wife and children?"
As soon as these words were said, the officials present could not help but change their faces. The fool also saw that this person was the leader of the incident. Ice eye arrows stabbed the migrant worker who was leading the troublemaker.
The migrant workers stood proudly and looked at them without fear. Apart from the cotton coats, they meant that they had sacrificed their lives. Now they were naturally not afraid of anything!
The two sides entered a stalemate again...
Miss Tong and the others had quietly stopped behind the convoy. Although they were just a few words, they had already heard about the matter. With Bai Yintian's explanation, they had basically understood the situation.
These migrant workers are all workers on this construction site, and many have been working for more than half a year. However, it is time for the end of the year, but they have not yet received their wages.
After the incident last night, so many guys were smashed to death and burned to death. Their hearts were already heartbroken, but at this moment, the contractors found that they could not find the boss of the construction company. It turned out that the boss heard that so many people had died, so he had already escaped with the money.
When they heard that the boss was afraid of taking responsibility and running away with the money, they were so proud that their hard-earned money would have nowhere to be asked for. These workers were suddenly like falling into an ice cave. They could only attract the attention of the government in this form of self-harm.
In the final analysis, the problem lies in quickly solving the wage problem of these migrant workers. According to Bai Yintian, the Provincial Department of Finance has used emergency funds and withdrawn special funds to solve the current urgent needs.
However, even if so much cash is withdrawn from the vault, it will take time to count the money! However, the migrant workers have completely lost confidence in the government. Even if they are the mayor, they will not believe it. Therefore, in order not to worsen the incident, the Jiangning Municipal Party Committee could only ask the main leaders of the provincial party committee to come to the scene to rescue the emergency. At the same time, they expressed the government's importance to them.
However, the facts prove that no one believed the words of the governor representing the Jiangnan Provincial Government. Seeing this situation, the two founding elders were so heartbroken. It is conceivable!
"Take it?" Old Lin sneered, pointed to the scene outside, and said angrily: "You open your eyes and take a good look. Do you seem to be valued in this way? I see that so many people come to you are demonstrating to the migrant workers, and it's almost the same to put pressure on them!"
