"Coal mine production safety is not a series of numbers, behind it are living lives and families. It is irresponsible of you to make such a statement easily without in-depth research!"

"I, Jiang Yunhao, do not accept the results of this vote!"

Shandong Province, Ningtai City, Licheng County.

In the county party committee conference room, a vote on production safety in the county's coal mine industry finally came to an end.

At this moment, Jiang Yunhao, the newly appointed deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county chief, slammed the table and stood up with an indignant look on his face.

Jiang Yunhao's actions startled everyone in the conference room.

County Party Secretary Zhao Guohai was also shocked and froze on the spot, his face turned red from holding back.

However, he quickly reacted.

"Jiang Yunhao, do you dare to question the voting results of the Standing Committee? Are you still a party member? Do you still know about organizational discipline?"

Zhao Guohai excitedly pointed at the young man standing next to him.

I saw this man with a majestic body and a dignified appearance.

Although he is not very old, there is a hint of coldness in his bright eyes, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

Facing the criticism from the top leader, Jiang Yunhao looked fearless.

"Organizational discipline cannot override the facts. I will frankly state the results of today's meeting and my personal views to the Municipal Party Committee. If the erroneous vote of the Standing Committee cannot be rectified, I will resign to the County People's Congress as acting county magistrate.

…”

Jiang Yunhao just transferred from the army a month ago.

The man who was not yet twenty-eight years old was at the regimental level. After he changed his job, he was not demoted to half a level. Instead, he was directly appointed as the head of a county. This really caused quite a stir.

However, Jiang Yunhao was not at all proud of everyone's envy.

The reason is simple: Licheng County, where he took office, is really hard to describe.

After only one month in office, Jiang Yunhao discovered many problems one after another.

In particular, the coal mining industry, which the county is proud of, has many problems.

There are endless black coal mines without qualifications.

In this regard, government supervision definitely has a big problem.

Last week, Jiang Yunhao personally made a trip to Zhongjing Town, where the coal mining industry is the most developed in the county.

The results of the investigation were shocking.

Safety issues are very prominent in almost every coal mine I visit - including a limited number of large and qualified coal mines.

After the inspection, Jiang Yunhao immediately found Zhao Guohai, secretary of the county party committee, and requested to convene today's standing committee meeting.

After today's meeting began, Jiang Yunhao was the first to speak, expounding his opinions on the issue of coal mine production safety in Licheng County.

According to Jiang Yunhao's requirements, every coal mine production unit must implement safety supervision personnel, and the responsibilities must be assigned to everyone.

Every coal mine in the county must be shut down for rectification until they meet the county government's production safety requirements.

County Party Secretary Zhao Guohai sneered at Jiang Yunhao's demands.

Licheng County is an important resource town in Ningtai City, and its economic development in recent years has been driven almost entirely by the coal mining industry.

Protecting the coal mining industry is equivalent to leaving a way for ourselves to survive.

Otherwise, we may return to the dilemma of 20 years ago when county public employees were unable to pay their salaries.

Under such circumstances, successive county party committee leaders naturally attached great importance to the coal mining industry.

The mining of each new coal mine is regarded as a political achievement of the team.

As far as safety is concerned, it’s okay as long as it’s passable.

Especially for some small coal mines, developers don’t have much money to begin with.

If we place excessively high demands on them in terms of production safety, they will definitely scare people away.

When these developers all go to other counties and cities to set up factories, it will be too late to regret it.

Jiang Yunhao proposed to convene the county party committee standing committee today, but Zhao Guohai actually disagreed.

But after all, the other party is the acting county magistrate and second-in-command, and he is qualified to propose the convening of the standing committee.

In Zhao Guohai's view, by agreeing to convene the Standing Committee, he had given the other party enough face.

On the issue of safe production in coal mines, the other party should also know that taking a step back will look good to everyone.

Who knew that Jiang Yunhao was so ignorant that he wanted to destroy the county's main industry, martial arts, with one blow? How could Zhao Guohai endure it?

To put it bluntly, the coal industry is inherently dangerous. It would be strange if there were no accidents all year round.

Which coal mining area does not have safety accidents every year? Which coal mining company does not die every year?

In Zhao Guohai's view, during the six or seven years he has served as secretary of the county party committee, the safety of the county's coal industry has always been within control.

Compared with several other mining resource counties in the province, almost all of them have had major safety accidents involving more than ten people.

There was even a major safety accident involving more than 30 people in a nearby county or city.

The largest accident in Licheng County in recent years only killed and injured three people, which can reach the level of a major safety accident.

It not only ensures the GDP growth rate of the county, but also cannot find any major problems in the safety management of the coal mining industry.

From this point of view, Zhao Guohai felt that as the county party committee secretary, he was in good control.

To question the safety issues of coal mining companies in the county is to question oneself as the county party secretary!

…

Time goes back to an hour ago.

After the Standing Committee meeting began, Deputy County Magistrate Chang Jiang Yunhao made a big announcement and demanded that all coal mining enterprises in the county be shut down for comprehensive rectification.

The reasons for the new county magistrate are very good. Last week he personally visited the coal mine below and discovered many safety hazards and problems.

Comprehensive rectification is imperative.

After the acting county magistrate finished speaking, the venue was silent for a while.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Guohai was a little dissatisfied.

He lit up a cigarette and began to call names.

"Secretary Xu, you are both the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the deputy county magistrate in charge. Please tell me your opinion first."

Xu Guohong, deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate.

"I don't agree with County Magistrate Jiang."

Deputy Secretary Xu said in a deep voice, "There are irregularities in the production of some small coal mines in Zhongjing Town. This is nothing new. Our county committee and county government have also been urging rectification."

"But shutting down all the coal mining companies in the county and carrying out a comprehensive shutdown for rectification, I think it is too much..."

After Deputy Secretary Xu expressed his opinion, the corners of Zhao Guohai's mouth unconsciously raised a little.

Jiang Yunhao beside him frowned.

When I went on a field trip to the coal mine below, I invited this deputy to come with me, but he refused because he couldn't leave.

Originally, Jiang Yunhao didn't pay much attention. After all, Deputy Secretary Xu also held two important positions in the county committee and the government. It was understandable that he was busy with work.

But I didn't expect that after I presented the factual evidence on the hidden dangers of production safety in coal mines in the county, the other party would actually say such things.

Generally speaking, the executive deputy county magistrate is the second-ranking figure in the county government and is an important assistant to the county magistrate.

Now the executive deputy county magistrate is the first to stand up and oppose it. I am afraid that his proposal will face great resistance.

His eyes rested on Deputy Secretary Xu for a moment, and Jiang Yunhao probably had a clue in his mind - it seemed that Deputy Secretary Xu and Zhao Guohai should be very close.

In fact, it's not surprising. Before he came, Deputy Secretary Xu was the standing committee member who had the best chance of being promoted to county magistrate.

It is even very possible that when the superior organization department consulted Zhao Guohai for his opinion, he always voted in favor.

Now that he had parachuted in and blocked Xu Guohong's path, he felt strange that he had no objection.

After Xu Guohong spoke, Zhao Guohai was obviously not satisfied.

I turned around and asked the other two deputy secretaries and several members of the Standing Committee for their opinions. Basically, most of them disagreed with the suspension of production and work.

After listening to their speeches, Zhao Guohai's face became more and more relaxed.

"County Magistrate, have you seen everyone's opinions?"

Zhao Guohai looked at Jiang Yunhao, "The issue of safety production in coal mines is indeed worthy of our attention. I agree with you, county magistrate, in this regard. However, whether all coal mines in the county should be shut down for rectification is up for debate..."

These words were equivalent to Zhao Guohai, the leader, expressing his attitude.

Coal mine rectification does not necessarily require closure.

You, Jiang Yunhao, have just arrived and you don’t know anything about the situation, so you are making a fuss about shutting down all the coal mines in the county?

When you think this is in the army, can you, the regiment leader, say the right thing?

The local area and the army are two different things.

Zhao Guohai has been operating in Licheng County for many years, and it has been eight years since he took office as county magistrate.

In the past eight years, three people have changed on his team, but he, the county party committee secretary, has remained unchanged.

Zhao Guohai is still very confident when dealing with you, a young county magistrate who is not yet thirty years old.

Although the look of contempt in Zhao Guohai's eyes flashed away, Jiang Yunhao still keenly caught it.

He even guessed Secretary Zhao's attitude towards the closure of coal mining enterprises and the consequences of his proposal to close down coal mining enterprises.

But as a soldier, Jiang Yunhao knows very well the truth that "a real man should do something but not do something".

The safety hazards in the coal mining industry in the county are so great. If I say that I keep this matter a secret for the so-called unity of the team, then I am not sorry for the military uniform I once wore.

Just as Jiang Yunhao was preparing, a soft voice sounded.
