Therefore, the person in charge of each road construction section did not show up early this morning. Faced with this situation, some farmers and workers who were relatively quick to react felt that something was wrong after they arrived at the construction site early in the morning. They could not see the person in charge and did not say anything.
, and also heard that Deputy County Magistrate Feng, who was in charge of this work, might have been arrested by the municipal party committee, and the scene suddenly exploded. Some people had already thrown their road construction tools to the ground and started to strike.
.And at this moment, Fang Xianzhi’s special car and the video truck of the County Propaganda Department happened to arrive.
Fang Xianzhi originally thought about asking the Propaganda Department to record a video of him to build momentum, but he didn't expect to face such a situation when the car arrived here. He was speechless for a moment. Looking at the angry crowd, he was a little
At a loss.
"No, hurry up, ask the driver to turn around." Fang Xianzhi shouted softly to the driver.
But at this time, it was obviously too late to leave. Someone had already recognized his car, and someone shouted, "Look, that's County Magistrate Fang's car. The Magistrate is here, where are we going?"
He asked for clarity."
"Yes, ask the county magistrate for an explanation."
The people quickly surrounded Fang Xianzhi's special car, which was about to turn around and leave. Crowds came from all directions and surrounded the car.
Fang Xianzhi did not expect that the situation would be like this. If he had known it, he would not have been so impatient. He sent others to take a look before talking. Now it is fine. He is surrounded. Even if he wants to leave now, he is afraid that it is too late.
Secretary Wu Lei was quite sensible. He opened the door first and got out of the car. He shouted to the angry people who had gathered around him, "Folks, don't be anxious. Don't be anxious. I am the secretary of the county magistrate. Everyone, please calm down. Calm down."
one time."
"Calm down, what's going on in the county? Why can't I see a person in charge this morning? I heard that County Magistrate Feng was arrested. What's going on? We need an explanation."
"We want an explanation. If County Magistrate Feng is arrested, the county's promise to exempt us from agricultural taxes by using work points has not yet been fulfilled. If not, then give us the money quickly. We have worked here for so many days, and we are still
You have to pay wages."
"Yes, give us wages, we want wages, and we want to eat."
Wu Lei originally wanted to use his status as the secretary of the county magistrate to suppress the crowd and make these people restrain their crazy behavior, but unexpectedly, he could not suppress the crowd at all, and his appearance could not make the agitated crowd at all.
After calming down, the exciting scene became more and more intense.
Seeing these uncontrollable crowds, and if he did not do well, a group siege might occur next, Wu Lei finally turned around and looked toward the car, looking for help, and towards Fang Xianzhi.
Fang Xianzhi, who was sitting in the car, cursed Wu Lei for being useless, and then he opened the car door and walked out slowly. This was not because Fang Xianzhi wanted to get out. In fact, he couldn't do it if he didn't get out at this time.
If he doesn't come out, who knows if these angry crowds will overturn his special car. If so, he will only become more embarrassed.
Fang Xianzhi opened the car door and walked out. Immediately, the crowd made a loud noise, "This is County Magistrate Fang. I have seen him give a report on TV."
"Ah, it's the county chief, so he must have the final say, so we'll let him give us a guarantee." As soon as the crowd heard that the county chief was coming, everyone's bodies began to surge towards Fang Xianzhi.
, it’s no wonder that when even the person in charge of the project could not be found, Fang Xianzhi’s appearance undoubtedly gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
Seeing the crowds constantly rushing towards Fang Xianzhi, and some unpredictable things might even happen, Wu Lei quickly blocked the leader with his body, and then shouted loudly while waving his arms, "Everyone, calm down, calm down.
Wait, let’s listen to the county magistrate say a few words now.”
Wu Lei's shout finally aroused a certain resonance, and the agitated crowd seemed to become quieter after the shout. Seeing that the agitated crowd finally had the intention to control their emotions, Fang Xianzhi also let out a sigh of relief.
, he was really afraid that these people would rush over without asking any questions. If this happened, he would not even have a chance to speak.
"Folks and comrades, please be quiet. I am Fang Xianzhi, the mayor of Dahu County. Please listen to me and say a few words now, okay?" Fang Xianzhi reached out and pushed away the secretary Wu Lei in front of him, so that he could face everyone.
, and then shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's listen to what the county magistrate has to say." After hearing Fang Xianzhi's shouts, someone in the crowd finally stopped moving forward rationally, stood there and started to stare at Fang Xianzhi.
"Folks and comrades, I don't know why something like this happened, but I want to say that today's incident should be a misunderstanding. I hope that everyone can continue to build roads as before yesterday. The county party committee and county government promise you
, I think it will definitely be fulfilled." Fang Xianzhi looked at the excited crowd and didn't know what to say to comfort him. He thought that these people were probably afraid that the road construction work would be in vain, and that's why they became so excited. Then
He solved the problem from the root and promised that the county committee and government's commitment would not change. I believe this would make the excited crowd less impulsive.
"What do you think? We need to get a definite answer. Magistrate Feng never said this before." I don't know who in the crowd found Fang Xianzhi's sick words. I think that sentence will definitely be fulfilled.
, and immediately became the reason why everyone attacked him.
Of course, Fang Xianzhi was not negligent, but said this deliberately. His purpose was to get through, because he could not guarantee that the agricultural problems in Dahu County would improve during the harvest. He did not have Feng Sizhe's vision and confidence.
If the agricultural reform fails this year, then next year the land will not be cultivated, and how will the agricultural tax be used to offset the money for road construction? If the people are asking for wages for road construction at that time, what will they give them?
Fang Xianzhi was afraid of leaving trouble in the future, so he had no choice but to say such ambiguous words. But he didn't expect that someone would understand the meaning of his words, and now he had to confront himself about this sentence. He was helpless.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, then I will assure you that the county committee and county government will definitely exchange your wages for road construction, I will definitely do it."
"No, the county magistrate cannot speak in the name of the county committee and county government. We want to listen to your personal guarantee. If we don't get the money for road construction later, then we will ask the county magistrate for it. Please tell us if this is okay.
"
I don't know who targeted Fang Xianzhi like this and actually asked him for a personal guarantee. In other words, if Fang Xianzhi agreed to this request, then the road construction money could not be paid directly to him personally.
Fang Xianzhi was really depressed, and wanted to use his eyes to see who the person who said this was. Isn't this obviously causing trouble for himself? If he agreed to this request, then the whole person would be trapped in this matter.
Here, if something really goes wrong, the person who will take the blame in the end will probably be you.
"Have you noticed that the county magistrate has refused to agree? He is perfunctory with us. Then we cannot agree and must detain the county magistrate." It was the same voice. He seemed to have noticed Fang Xianzhi's intention.
While avoiding this question, he immediately exposed Xiao Jiujiu in Fang Xianzhi's heart.
As this man's words came out, the people who had calmed down suddenly began to tremble again, even more violent than before. Some people who were close to Fang Xianzhi had already touched them with their outstretched hands.
It's time to reach the county magistrate's clothes corner.
Fang Xianzhi was so frightened by this situation that his face turned pale. He knew that if he didn't say a few words of affirmation and responsibility at this time, he might be beaten by these people here today.
If that were the case, not only would I lose face, but it might even cause a mass incident, and I would be deprived of the position of county magistrate.
In order to save his life and his position, Fang Xianzhi had no choice but to shout, "Everyone, listen to me, I promise you, I promise you, anyone who wants to farm next year will be given an agricultural tax based on how much you pay for road construction.
For those who don’t want to farm, the county will exchange cash for you. In short, everyone’s payment will not be in vain. If my words are not realized by then, then you can all come to me personally, okay?
"
There was really no other way. Fang Xianzhi said this out of necessity. Whether it was a temporary measure or to cope with the immediate crisis, he made the promise in front of everyone.
It was precisely because of Fang Xianzhi's promise that he retreated when he was about to face danger. Those who wanted to attack him also stopped their hands one by one and stood still.
A large-scale public petition incident that was still huge was resolved under Fang Xianzhi's three guarantees. Under the leadership of some people, many people have rejoined the army of road construction. Of course, among them
Some people abandoned their tools and returned home. In the eyes of these people, it seemed that with Feng Sizhe gone, it would be difficult to cash in the wages for road construction. They did not want to work hard today to get wages in the future.
In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.
No matter how many people left or stayed, Fang Xianzhi finally left here safely. He really had no confidence at all to stay at the road construction site to watch or give guidance. He just wanted to return to the office now.
Now, have a good drink of tea and comfort your frightened heart just now.
