Chapter 357 Farmers Market
Unexpectedly, just as Liu Siyu was about to get into the car, he heard a noise coming from the front yard and was persuading something. Liu Siyu couldn't help but look down. This situation was a common occurrence in China. As long as there were group visits and dozens or hundreds of people surrounded the government gate, this would happen.
When Wang Zhiming and Yi Sheng looked forward, they immediately ran to the front yard to check the situation. Liu Siyu sat in the car and simply closed his eyes.
After a while, Yi Shengqian and Wang Zhiming ran back quickly. Liu Siyu pushed open the car door. Yi Shengqian hurriedly said: "Liu ***, the door of the government compound was blocked by laid-off workers from the grain and oil company. They shouted that County Magistrate Wang and you."
The county government and the county party committee are in the same courtyard, but the county government is in the front building and the county party committee is in the small building behind. The door of the courtyard is blocked, so the car naturally cannot drive out.
"What's the situation now?" Liu Siyu asked calmly.
"Director Peng of the Government Office and comrades from the petition office are doing persuasion work there, but they did not see County Mayor Wang." Yi Shengqian said.
"Oh." Liu Siyu pondered for a moment. The county's grain and oil company was originally a state-owned enterprise under the county's grain bureau. Shunjiang County is a large agricultural county. It has to complete huge grain purchase tasks every year. In order to carry out grain processing, the county established a grain and oil company at that time. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the country's grain system reform was left to only a few people to complete the state's grain reserve purchase tasks, and the rest of the personnel were diverted. However, the grain and oil company suddenly had no financial support and naturally could not maintain it. It immediately fell into a state of suspension of production. At the beginning, the county still wanted to raise funds and pay some living expenses, but now it can't even pay for living expenses.
These workers did not receive living expenses for several months, so they gathered and came to the county government to petition.
It is the government's responsibility to solve the problems of these companies. Liu Siyu did not want to intervene rashly, but he was still worried. If this matter was a big deal and it would be bad to spread to the city and even the province.
So he said to Wang Zhiming: "Zhiming, go to the front, pay attention to the situation there, and report to me immediately if there is anything." Then he said to Yi Shengqian: "Comrade Shengqian, let's go out through the back door."
If these petitioners see themselves, how can they get rid of themselves? The work of a day is not over, so let the government take a little first.
However, Liu Siyu still asked Yi Shengqian to call County Mayor Wang Qiang and conveyed Liu Siyu's instructions to him, asking him to try to appease these petition workers in order to prevent the situation from escalating and come up with a proper solution.
Wang Qiang was actually in the office. However, when he heard the noise outside the window, he knew that something was wrong, so he did not rashly go downstairs. Instead, he asked the director of the government office Peng Ping to take the director of the petition office to do the evacuation work first, and at the same time, he asked the county magistrate Zhang Lizhi, who was in charge of industry, to come to his office.
Zhang Lizhi received a call from Wang Qiang. From Wang Qiang's tone, he heard Wang Qiang's displeasure. After putting down the phone, he cursed and then walked towards Wang Qiang's office with his laptop in his hand.
Seeing Zhang Lizhi coming in, Wang Qiang was not polite. After he asked him to sit down, he said directly: "County Magistrate Wang, do you know about the petition of the workers in the grain and oil company workers?"
"I just got the news." Wang Lizhi said honestly. Wang Lizhi is the old deputy county magistrate in the county. He had hope of joining the Standing Committee this time, but the municipal party committee directly made Kang Shui a member of the Standing Committee, which seriously hit his enthusiasm for work. You know, he is 48 years old this year and missed this stop. He wanted to go further. It was very small. Therefore, when dealing with issues such as restructuring of enterprises in the county, he had the idea that it was better to have less than more things.
"This matter has attracted the attention of the county party committee. Director Yi just called and conveyed Liu ***'s instructions, asking our government to resolve it properly and not to expand the situation. What do you think about this matter?" Wang Qiang took out a cigarette, handed one to Wang Lizhi, then lit one himself, took a sip, and said with a frown.
"County Magistrate Wang, you don't know the current situation. This grain and oil company is just a mess. The county was planning to sell it, but no one was willing to take over it, so the matter was delayed. Otherwise, the county will find a way to ask the bank to lend some more money to the grain and oil company and get through the current level." Wang Lizhi said sadly.
Seeing that Wang Lizhi was just complaining, Wang Qiang knew that this person was unhappy and had no motivation in his work. In addition, he was an old leader, so he didn't have much to say, so he said, "Let's do this, you can deal with it on behalf of the county government, let them choose a few representatives and hold a symposium to find out what these workers have. As for the solution later, we will discuss it."
Wang Lizhi was in charge of industry. Since the county magistrate said this, it was naturally hard to say anything, so he could only nod and agree and go out to do his job.
Shortly after Wang Lizhi left, Wang Qiang received a call from Mayor Cheng Yanshan. During the call, Cheng Yanshan asked about the petition of the employees of Shunjiang County Grain and Oil Company, and instructed Wang Qiang to handle this matter well and not to magnify the situation. If it attracts the attention of provincial news media, the city will be passive.
After hearing this, Wang Qiang hurriedly stated that he would handle it properly and report to Mayor Cheng in time if there was any situation. After putting down the phone, he secretly scolded the person who caused the matter to the city. Isn’t this causing trouble?
However, he didn't care about thinking about this anymore, but asked his secretary Xiao Sun to call the other county magistrates to hold a meeting to discuss the way to deal with this matter.
Liu Siyu took Yi Shengqian out of the back door. Just as he was about to walk to the farmers' market, he received a call from the municipal party committee Guo ***. On the phone, Guo *** asked about the petition of the workers of Shunjiang County Grain and Oil Company. Liu Siyu said that he was conducting research outside and asked County Mayor Wang Qiang to deal with it first. The results of the treatment came out and he would report to the municipal party committee.
When Guo Pucheng heard that Liu Siyu was investigating outside, he knew it. He was afraid that Liu Siyu was young. When he heard that someone was petitioning, he rushed to the front immediately and was forced to express his opinion. In the end, there was no room for maneuver. That was really difficult to deal with. In fact, the collective petition of laid-off workers is happening all over the country. As long as it does not cause a major social response, it is not a big deal. These are the pains of reform that must be experienced. But these pains are still very uncomfortable for the workers at the bottom of society to bear.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Siyu and Yi Shengqian were about to pass the farmers' market and go to the Chengguan Town Police Station to check it out. He heard a squeal from the farmers' market and cries came out, so the two turned around and walked towards the farmers' market.
As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard a woman begging: "Stop hitting, we can't leave."
Then he heard a vicious voice roaring: "Smile girls, you don't know. The chickens and ducks in Shunjiang County have to pass through the hands of the fifth brother. You dare to compete with the fifth brother for food. I think you are so fucking impatient. If you don't teach you a lesson, you still don't know how many eyes Mr. Ma has. Brothers, call me."
Liu Siyu and Yi Sheng squeezed in and saw seven or eight young men dressed in fancy clothes and weird hair were punching and kicking a middle-aged man curled up on the ground and desperately protecting his head with both hands. Next to him was a woman in her thirties crying and begging.
Yi Sheng glanced at Liu Siyu's face getting angry, and hurriedly rushed over a few steps, shouting loudly: "Stop, you actually commit crimes in public in broad daylight. Is there no king's law?"
The tall man who was commanding the beating next to him was relieved when he heard someone coming forward. He turned to look at Yi Shengqian and found that he was just a weak scholar. He was disdainful and sneered, "Haha, the crotch of that fucking girl is not tied up, revealing you, you dare to even care about the fifth brother's affairs?"
Although Yi Shengqian is the director of the county party committee office, no one in the officialdom knows, but who would care about these gangsters on the streets? When Yi Shengqian came forward to stop him, he just thought that he was an ignorant person who stood up for the wrongdoing, and his attitude was naturally very arrogant.
Yi Shengqian thought that Liu *** was on the side. This was a good opportunity to perform in front of Liu ***, so he naturally had to make full use of it. He pointed at the people and shouted: "Let him go, otherwise I will call the police immediately."
Unexpectedly, the gangsters couldn't help laughing when they heard Yi Shengqian say this. The leader laughed and said, "I want to call the police, okay, I have a phone number from the police station here, why don't I report it for you?"
Seeing that everyone around was looking at this place, the leader suddenly became interested in teasing the middle-aged man in front of him.
Yi Sheng turned his head to look at Liu Siyu, but saw Liu Siyu nodding to him. He naturally understood it and said, "Okay, I don't believe that this game was run by your family."
Unexpectedly, the man in charge took out the phone and started calling in front of Yi Shengqian.
"Brother Zhou, it's me, my mistress, Brother Zhou, we collected some agricultural products at the farmers' market today and were preparing to earn some living expenses. Someone actually stopped us and even beat people. You have to protect our legal rights and interests." Unexpectedly, this kid even made up his legal rights and interests, and Liu Siyu looked at it funny.
After hanging up the phone, the leader walked towards Yi Sheng with a treacherous smile on his face, and several other gangsters also surrounded him. Yi Sheng Qian saw that the situation was not good and kept retreating, but just stepped back to a stall selling shoulder poles. Seeing the fierce eyes of the gangsters, he subconsciously grabbed a shoulder pole and placed it on his chest.
At this time, a few majestic voices came from the market door: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Then several policemen walked in and saw the gangsters. The policeman walking in front asked majesticly: "Miss Sanzi, where is the murderer of the hit?" Miss Sanzi pointed to Yi Shengqian holding the shoulder pole and said, "Brother Zhou, it's this kid. Look, that person over there was injured by him."
"I'm very brave. I'm actually in the farmers' market and dare to hurt people. I'll take them back and have a good trial." Several policemen following behind rushed up.
Liu Siyu squeezed forward and sneered, "This is how you police handle the case? Who is your director? Let him come to see me."
When the policeman named Zhou heard someone talking, and the voice was full of supreme power, he couldn't help but look back and found that the person was familiar. After a closer look, wasn't it Liu *** from the county? As a policeman, when he was bored on duty, he also looked at the news on Shunjiang County TV. Although Liu *** did not appear frequently in the news, he was still paying attention to it as a public official.
The policeman named Zhou felt a deep heart. He knew something bad. He hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and said loudly: "Report to Liu***, Zhou Qiang, deputy director of Chengguan Town Police Station, reported to you, please give instructors."
When the mistress heard that the one in front of her turned out to be Liu ***, her face changed and she wanted to retreat. Liu Siyu glanced at him coldly. When he saw Liu Siyu's chilling gaze, he never dared to move again.
Liu Siyu turned around and said, "Comrade Police, this person holding a shoulder pole is in self-defense. He is a member of the Standing Committee of Shunjiang County Party Committee and the director of the County Party Committee Office Comrade Yi Shengqian. Do you still want to take him back for trial?"
When Zhou Qiang heard that the person holding the shoulder pole turned his back to him was Director Yi of the County Party Committee Office. He was a member of the Standing Committee. He hated the mistress so much that he turned his mind. He immediately shouted to his subordinates with a stern face: "Correate all the criminals who attempted to attack the county leaders and take them back to me."
Those policemen probably usually get a lot of benefits from their mistresses and their gangs, so they look a little embarrassed. Zhou Qiang was anxious and shouted loudly: "Isn't you going to execute it now!"
The policemen came to their senses and immediately rushed over, coaxing the mistress and several gangsters. The gangsters were in shock, and one of them wanted to resist. Zhou Qiang rushed over, kicked him over to the ground, shouting, "You kid still want to resist arrest?"
The mistress knew that the situation was wrong, so she had to let the police put on a coward.
At this time, Zhou Qiang said to Director Yi with a smile on his face: "Director Yi, we are late, and you are suffering." Then he ran to Liu Siyu and said flatteringly: "Liu***, these gangsters are disrupting the order of the farmers' market. We have received the news and are preparing to take action against them in two days. Liu ***, please rest assured, we will follow your instructions to deal with them seriously."
Liu Siyu didn't expect Zhou Qiang to change his face so quickly. However, since the matter had been controlled, he calmly said to Zhou Qiang: "You are the people's police, and you must be worthy of the national emblem on your head." Speaking of this, he turned to Yi Shengqian and said, "Director Yi, this matter is left to you. You are responsible for handling it, and then report to me." After saying that, he approached the crying woman, carefully inspected the injury of the person on the ground, and turned to Zhou Qiang and said, "Deputy Director Zhou, please send the victim to the hospital for examination and treatment first."
The woman knew from the words just now that the young man was Liu *** from the county. She immediately raised her head, looked at him with tears, and said, "Liu ***, you have to make the decision for us."
"Please rest assured that this matter is. On behalf of the Shunjiang County Party Committee, I promise you that we will deal with this matter seriously in accordance with the law." At this point, Liu Siyu stood up and shouted to the more and more people surrounding him: "Friends, I am Liu Siyu, the Shunjiang County Party Committee ***. Please believe that we will bring these bad people to justice and will never let criminals disrupt our market. As long as you operate legally, our Shunjiang County Party Committee will protect you. If you have anything that cannot be solved, you are welcome to come to the government or look for me."
When they heard that the person in front of them was Liu Siyu, the new county party committee member, they all shouted. Then Liu Siyu left Yi Shengqian there to deal with the matter behind, waved his hand to say goodbye to everyone, and left the farmers' market alone.
