Duan Zetao glared at Wu Yuejin, walked to the group of ordinary people with a smile, and asked cordially to an elderly man in his fifties at the front: "Old comrade, how many people do you have in your family? How big is the house you live in?..."
The old man was extremely nervous when he saw the mayor ask him. He looked at Duan Zetao's kind gaze, smiled kindly, and plucked up the courage to say: "My six people, my family, my wife, two sons, the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson, live in an 18 square house..."
Duan Zetao was shocked. He could not imagine how a family of six was crowded in an 18-square-meter house, so he kindly grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Old comrade, can you take me to your house to see it?"
So a large group of people followed the elderly man to his home and saw tall honeycomb coal piled up in the corridor outside his home. There was a lotus root coal stove on the outside of the corridor, and a small wooden table next to it, which was filled with pots, bowls, scoops, basins and other utensils for cooking. It seemed that this was their temporary "kitchen".
When I walked into the house, it was very dark inside and the light outside could hardly be illuminated. There was only a fifteen-tile incandescent lamp in the house. The room was filled with all kinds of debris. There were three high and low beds near the wall. I pulled it with a curtain in the middle. The space was too narrow. After placing these three beds, it was difficult to even turn around.
The elderly man rubbed his hands embarrassedly and sighed in a hint of embarrassment: "This is what my wife and I slept with, my eldest son, my eldest daughter-in-law and my eldest grandson. This is what my youngest son sleeps with. My youngest son is almost thirty years old. Because he has no room, he has been whining after talking to several girlfriends. The younger grandson is getting bigger and harder!..."
Duan Zetao's eyes were a little wet, and he turned to ask the neighborhood committee director beside him and said, "Is there a lot of situations like this old comrade's family?" The neighborhood committee director replied, "It's very common for his family. His family is not the most difficult one. There is also a family of ten people crowded in such a big house..."
Duan Zetao held the old man's hand and asked, "Old man, if you give you a house as big as three houses like this one, and ask you to move, if you don't want to make up for the money, do you want to move..."
The old man opened his eyes wide in surprise and said in disbelief: "There is such a good thing?! If there is such a good thing, I will be the first to move it!"
Duan Zetao sighed and said to Xie Jianxing, Wu Yuejin and others beside him: "You see, it's not that the people don't understand the truth, but that we have not met their basic needs. The transformation of shanty towns must be accelerated, otherwise something big will happen sooner or later!..."
When Duan Zetao walked out of the room, he saw that there were more and more people around him, so he shouted loudly: "Comrades, are you really willing to live in such a house for the rest of your life? I'm afraid no one is willing, so what we want to discuss is not the question of whether to move or not, but how to move! Please believe in the Party and the government, and your reasonable requirements will be met. After we go back, we will immediately discuss and raise the compensation standards for your demolition, and strive to allow you to live in spacious and bright buildings as soon as possible!..."
Seeing that the onlookers were still a little skeptical, the director of the neighborhood committee saw that the onlookers were still a little skeptical, he waved his hand and said loudly: "It's scattered, it's scattered, you don't believe what I said, don't you even believe what the mayor said?! It's easy to deal with anyone who doesn't believe it? When the house is distributed, let him be the last one to choose a house. Don't come to me to cry..."
Obviously, the director of the neighborhood committee is still very prestigious here, and the onlookers dispersed one after another. Duan Zetao also remembered the director of the neighborhood committee, Wu Dawei, after he returned, he promoted him to the land acquisition and demolition office as deputy director. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for the time being.
On the way back, Wu Dawei said something that strengthened Duan Zetao's determination to speed up the demolition of shanty towns. It turned out that a vicious case happened not long ago here, and it was also a family of six. The family situation was the same as the old man's house I just went to.
The youngest son was very young. At night, he couldn't stand it when he heard his brother and his sister-in-law doing something through the curtain. The next day, everyone in the family went out, leaving him and his sister-in-law at home. As a result, he raped his sister-in-law on impulse. The sister-in-law couldn't think so and hung her. The brother came back and killed his younger brother in anger. The father was so angry that he was hit on the spot. The eldest son was sentenced to death. The family of six was only left with his grandson, and he had to take care of the old father who had a stroke, which led to a tragedy on earth.
Everyone was silent after hearing this, but thinking about it, in such an environment, it is reasonable that such a thing happened. In fact, the incidence of crimes in shantytowns has always been very high. Thieves, fights, and even worse, murders are not uncommon. Many social gangsters in Shannan City have gone from shantytowns. The shantytowns have become a breeding ground for crimes and a city's sucking sores. It is indeed a point where they have to relocate.
In the afternoon of the same day, Duan Zetao organized a joint meeting on shantytown demolition, and all the top leaders of the government departments involved participated. He also specially invited Tong Debo and Longteng Group's heads to take charge of the construction of pedestrian streets and commercial square projects to attend the meeting.
Duan Zetao first introduced the situation of his visit to the shanty town yesterday and said solemnly: "Comrades, the shanty town demolition problem has become a major issue affecting the stability and unity of Shannan City. Everyone must pay great attention to it. Here I would like to emphasize a few principles:".
"1. The demolition compensation standard must be raised. The current demolition compensation standard was formulated three years ago and can no longer meet the needs of urban development. I suggest that according to the new plan of Shannan City and the land price difference in various regions of Shannan City, the demolition compensation standard in various regions will be priced in a step-by-step manner. Please ask the land acquisition and demolition office to conduct a meticulous investigation, set the new demolition compensation standard as soon as possible and submit it to the Standing Committee for approval..."
"Second, the construction of new houses in resettlement areas should be accelerated. It is best to build a few sample buildings first so that the demolition households can see the actual things, and our demolition work will be much smoother. In principle, I hope that the shanty towns were scattered, the building was built, and the living in was created. I hope that Longteng Group can carry forward this style and advance funds to build the houses in the resettlement area first. The houses are built quickly, and the demolition work will progress quickly. Pedestrian streets and commercial square projects can start construction as soon as possible, which is also beneficial to Longteng Group..."
"Three, when we do ideological work for residents, we must be meticulous and think from the perspective of others. We must treat the individual requirements of residents differently. Of course, it is not ruled out that some residents will make some rude requests. I think we can set a principle, that is, whoever moves first, whoever chooses a house first. After all, most residents are reasonable. I want to emphasize one thing in particular, that is, no forced demolition is allowed! We must demolish it in a human way! Resolutely prevent ** from happening! Don't talk to the public security every time. The guns in the public security are used to protect the people, not to deal with the people!..."
