Chapter 158 Solve the problem from the root

"Okay, don't force Lai Lai here, if you don't want to make things big, which one can take charge, let him come out and speak." Wang Zhong said coldly.

"Yes, let him out!"

"Give us an explanation."

The villagers were all furious. If Wang Zhong hadn't stood in the front and didn't say anything, they probably should have made a move right now.

Anger arises from the heart, and evil naturally arises from the gallbladder.

After wandering around, Yang San ran back to the front door, feeling the deepest, the most resentful, and the loudest.

He was detained in the water station for nearly an hour yesterday, and finally he had to apologize to the person at the water station. Although the nosebleeds from his fists were indeed left behind by that person, Yang San was still unconvinced and could not hold back. It's on fire.

It was clear that the people at the water station started swearing, and they refused to supply water to Jintan Village. Yang San saw that the water to keep the wheat flowing to Chengguan Village, which had already completed spring irrigation and was not short of water, how could it be possible in his heart? Not angry.

If it wasn't for that little water to keep Maizi alive later, how could Yang San be so condescending, admitting his mistakes and apologizing.

It's all right now, the money has been paid, the apology has been made, and the mistake has been admitted, and let the troubles that can't pass through the back of his feet fool him.

The anger and anger that Yang San suppressed in his heart broke out completely, and it was stronger and more turbulent than yesterday, like a volcanic eruption, straight to his forehead.

"What do you think, this is the pumping station, don't be impulsive!"

The few staff members behind the iron gate were so frightened that their faces were almost blue, their timid calves began to tremble, and they said anxiously.

Public anger is hard to commit, and this matter is indeed their fault first. Yesterday it was clear that both parties agreed that water will be supplied today. Yesterday afternoon, Ma Defu made up for the money owed last winter, but today they did it. Facing The questioning of the folks, it is no wonder that they feel guilty and afraid.

Wang Zhong said in a deep voice towards the iron gate: "Now I know I'm afraid, don't worry, we are all reasonable people, hurry up and call out the person who can be in charge here, let him explain to us face to face."

"Obviously something that has been agreed, why did it change in the end? Isn't this a joke!"

"That's it!"

"Is there anything else to explain? I didn't say it just now. It was the order of our station master. We are just running errands." Although guilty, they still kept their mouths stiff.

"Since you know you're running errands, what are you still doing here?"

Wang Zhong's eyes were sharp, and his words were like a knife: "If you are not guilty, why did you close the door?"

"You are aggressive, who knows if you will make trouble!" The person inside defended himself.

"Troubleshooting?" Wang Zhong sneered, "You think we are like you, the villagers in our Jintan Village are all law-abiding common people."

"The law does not blame you, have you ever heard of it? Besides, it is you who are at fault for this matter. Don't say that we didn't make trouble, even if we really made trouble? Did the police arrest the whole village? When the time comes If the higher-ups pursue it, you can guarantee that you will not be implicated?"

"We big guys stayed in Xihai for a long time, but government cadres came to do work one by one and dragged us to this shitty Gobi Desert. We responded to the call of the country and cooperated with the government's work, and ran away. Hundreds of miles away, I have come here to Diaozhuang after a lot of hardships, not to mention the hardships and hardships, and I also have to suffer from the birds of your bastards."

"It's a big deal, let's quit, pat our buttocks and go back to our Xihaigu. When we see it, the leader above will blame us. Are they looking for trouble with us or with you?"

Wang Zhong's words pierced into the hearts of several water station workers behind the iron gate like a knife, turned their expressions straight away, and started to make up their minds one by one.

"That's right! It's a big deal, let's quit, and go back to our Yongquan!"

"exactly!"

"・・・"

Looking at the folks who spoke in unison, the staff of the water station are completely panicked.

Wang Zhong continued: "When the time comes, the superiors will blame you, and you station masters will not be able to absolve themselves of the blame. Could it be that you will escape?"

"It's the stationmaster's order to release water for you. We are the ones who follow orders. Our water station has the biggest stationmaster. How dare we disobey him? If you want to find it, go to him and embarrass us here. What are you doing?"

The staff of several water stations had already begun to give in, and they did not dare to be tough with Wang Zhong and the others, for fear of causing public wrath.

Public anger is hard to offend, it's not just talking, and the people in the northwest region have always been tough.

Not to mention the past, just counting back ten or twenty years. At that time, there was no irrigation project to divert the Yellow River, and there were countless times of fighting between villages and villages in order to grab that little water. Few people won't die in group fights. Earlier, when all the people were soldiers, even earthen guns and earthen cannons were carried out.

A few villages grabbing water is no different from fighting a war.

Gawa's fucking illness is the root cause of the famine in [-]. In order to grab the wild vegetables on the back slope of Yongquan Village, he fought with people from Huangjialiang in the back mountain and was beaten on the head with a stick.

At that time, Gawa's mother was still a young girl, a big girl.

The staff of the water station are not all young people, there are also a few older people who have experienced those years.

"We are all peasants, with our faces facing the loess soil and our backs facing the sky. We spend our whole lives digging in the fields. The wheat seedlings in the fields are our lives. If you cut off our water, we will die. The wheat has dried up, and there are more than 400 people in [-] households in Jintan Village, if they all come to you to fight for their lives, I will not be able to stop them."

As soon as Wang Zhong said this, the faces of the staff at the water station behind the iron gate turned black.

But it's not over yet.

"Now you can pray that our secretary will solve the water supply problem when he goes to the scene. If it can't be done, the wheat in our field will dry up, then you'd better hide behind the iron gate for the rest of your life!"

"What do you mean?" A water station worker with a slightly heavier burden asked nervously.

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhong laughed, looked at the young and strong men on his left and right, and finally fell on Yang San, whose hair was like grass, his clothes were old and dirty, and his face was dusty: "Yang San, what did he mean by asking me?" !"

Yang San took two steps forward, raised his hand and grasped the steel bar like a fence on the iron gate, with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "You want our lives, and we want yours too!"

"Don't mess around, it's against the law!" Several staff members in green uniforms staggered back a few steps, obviously frightened.

The Northwest guy usually looks honest, but he never lacks blood in his bones.

"Yang San, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Zhong scolded, and in Yang San's stupefaction, the corners of his mouth rose, and he walked forward: "We are all peasants, ordinary people who abide by the law, how can we do things that violate the law and discipline? !"

"However!"

Wang Zhong changed his voice, and looked at the two staff members with colder eyes: "No matter who gave the order, we only know that we have paid the money, but the water station still won't supply us with water. The wheat is all dry."

"Ha ha!"

"Don't say that I didn't warn you in advance. I suggest that those of you who work at the water station be careful when you go home in the future. There may be accidents on the way!"

"Also, be careful when eating, maybe someday there will be some extra condiments in the meal!"

"By the way! There are old people and dolls in your family too!"

Wang Zhong looked at them indifferently, his eyes were cold: "Don't push people into a hurry, if you are really in a hurry, you can do anything."

Wang Zhongfeng said some irrelevant words calmly.

However, the staff of several water stations changed their expressions again and again, and their faces showed fear invariably.

Especially looking at the group of angry big men who were staring at them fiercely around the door in front of them.

"Either open the door, find someone who can take care of you, let us solve the problem, or..."

"Humph!"

Wang Zhong just stood quietly in front of the iron gate, looking at the staff of the water station behind the gate, with his calm and calm eyes, those workers subconsciously backed away, and then moved their buttocks. Tun fell to the ground.

"I'll give you three minutes to think about it!" Wang Zhong raised three fingers.

"Didn't you say half an hour!" An iron gate, with an iron pipe as thick as a big toe, and an iron bar the size of a little finger, spanned between two high brick walls, dividing the two groups of people inside and outside the gate into two groups. two worlds.

People in the door hold iron rice bowls, receive wages every month, and do light work. They also know the importance of wheat seedlings in the field to farmers, but they only know that.

The peasants outside the door, at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, scattered the seeds one by one into the ground, and then waited for the passage of time, the wheat seedlings broke through the ground, and survived a long period of time under the cover of snow. In winter, when the new spring is approaching, the new green shoots are waiting to be watered by the rain, and they are about to grow vigorously.

The people inside the door can't understand the feelings of the people outside the door, because they are people from two worlds, people from two worlds, how can joys and sorrows be connected.

Naturally, they couldn't understand how the group of ashen-faced, old-fashioned and patched peasants outside the door cherished the wheat seedlings in the field.

But at this moment, in this situation, they can see the emotions contained in those eyes full of anger. The words Wang Zhong just said inexplicably appeared in their minds, and the bodies of several people trembled at the same time. .

If it's just them themselves, although they are a little scared, they are just scared, and they still have the confidence to bear it.

But when it comes to family members, parents, wives and children, the defense line in their hearts is completely defeated.

The person behind the door ran into the office in a frenzy, and after a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a little white on his temples, appeared behind the iron door.

The middle-aged man looked at the people around the door, gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, and finally directed a young man in his twenties to open the iron door.

"My name is Lei Heng! Our Station Master Chen is not here. Currently, I have the highest position in the water station!"

Lei Heng walked up to Wang Zhong, stretched out his hand, and said very politely.

"Wang Zhong! The villagers of Jintan Village!"

"I know you!" Lei Heng naturally knew about Wang Zhong. In the past few years, Wang Zhong's farm irrigation has been diverted from their Qingtong Gorge. In the first few years, Jintan Village was still under the rule of Qingtong Gorge. The water station doesn't charge much money, but since last year, Jintan Village has been moved out of Qingtongxia, and it's under the control of Yuquanying.

Wang Zhong contracted more than 500 mu of land. Last year, he paid an expensive water fee of 6 yuan for winter irrigation alone, which is almost equivalent to more than 100 yuan per mu. This is almost a sky-high price. Eighty households in the village, It was also five or six hundred mu of land, but only twenty-eight thousand mu was collected, and Wang Zhong's price was more than double that of the village.

During the winter irrigation last year, many people at the water station also felt that the price was too high, and Wang Zhong would definitely not be willing, so Wang Zhong agreed immediately.

"I know, it will save trouble!"

Wang Zhong had a smile like a spring breeze on his face: "You must have heard what I said just now, and I don't mean anything else, just two things."

"Two things?"

Lei Heng was puzzled and frightened, he was puzzled because of the two things Wang Zhong said, and he was frightened because the person in front of him was only around thirty, but his reputation had already spread all over the world.

Anyone who has dealt with the people in Yuquanying knows that on the Gobi Desert at the foot of Helan Mountain, among the old mountain men who ran out of the mountains to Diaozhuang, there was a capable man named Wang Zhong, who was young. , but his ability is admirable, not only that, but he is eager for public good and righteousness, helping the poor, it is simply the modern version of timely rain, and has gained a great reputation. On the flat river under Helan Mountain, whoever mentions Wang Zhong can't give a thumbs up .

Having dealt with each other, Lei Heng naturally knew who Wang Zhong was, and knew his prestige among immigrants.

And it was clear that just before he came out, Wang Zhong was still saying something that sounded plain but full of threats, but now he was able to smile so calmly and calmly.

Just because of this ability to change his face, Lei Heng did not dare to underestimate him.

"I'm just a small section chief. If it's within the scope of my authority, I can promise you, but if it's beyond the scope of my authority, I can't help it!" Lei Heng spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.

The surrounding villagers subconsciously wanted to surround him. Wang Zhong raised his hand lightly, and everyone stopped walking forward in unison.

Seeing this scene, Lei Heng's pupils couldn't help shrinking suddenly.

This is the prestige that Wang Zhong has accumulated among the villagers through his own practical actions in the past seven or eight years, starting from the immigration campaign in 91 until now.

"Chief Lei, you can do it!"

Wang Zhong looked at Lei Heng with a smile and said, "The first condition is to immediately open the gate and release the water."

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Lei Heng immediately shook his head.

"Comrade Wang Zhong, don't make things difficult for those of us who run errands. Didn't your secretary take people to the scene for a meeting? When he has news and orders, I will immediately open the gate and release the water without delay. .” Lei Heng said with a bit of pleading.

"It's fine if you don't drink water for a few days, but is our wheat precious? If we can't water it again, it will dry up!" Before Wang Zhong could speak, Yang San couldn't wait to shout loudly.

"If you release the water earlier, our wheat will die less!"

This statement immediately won the unanimous approval of the villagers: "That's right, a lot of wheat seedlings in the field have dried up now, and if we release water a minute earlier, we can save a few more."

"Chief Lei! I'm curious, does this water station belong to his surname Chen, or does it belong to the country?"

Chief Lei didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Of course it belongs to the state. The water station was built at the expense of the state."

Wang Zhongdao: "The country asked you to manage the water station so that you can help the folks on both sides of the Yellow River to divert water for irrigation. Although our Jintan Village is no longer under the jurisdiction of Qingtongxia, the third-level water pumping station over Yuquanying is still there. It has not been completed, and if we Jintan Village wants to irrigate, we can only water it from your Qingtongxia side."

"The sky is big and the earth is big, and the common people eat the most. I believe Chief Lei will understand such a simple truth." Wang Zhong began to speak softly, and he was a different person from before. The staff of the water station behind Lei Heng They all looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Lei Heng nodded: "That's the truth."

"Our village secretary has already gone to the on-site meeting. The on-site meeting will include your big leader from Qingtongxia. Do you think your leader will tell you to open the gate to release the water when he goes?"

Although Lei Heng didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.

"We paid the money, and you promised to release the water today, but the little water released can't be fooled. You delayed releasing the water, and many wheat seedlings in the field died. Now this matter has already come to your immediate superiors. , do you think these people in your water station can get away with it?"

"The higher-ups have investigated it. Do you think your Station Master Chen will handle this matter by himself?"

Lei Heng's face had changed, his brows were tightly frowned, although Wang Zhong's words were not pleasant, they were true.

"Should I wait for the leaders above to blame me and then take action to make up for my mistakes, or should I take the first step now and correct what I did wrong, and then tell the truth when the leaders come to ask for accountability."

"What's good and bad, Chief Lei can't figure it out, right?" Wang Zhong said with a smile on his face.

Lei Heng is also a section chief, why can't he understand Wang Zhong's words.

"What I said earlier, I believe Chief Lei must have heard it too. How to choose depends entirely on Chief Lei himself!"

"Although we abide by the law, we also know what it means to petition and what it means to pretend to be pitiful! At that time, our whole village will go to Qingtongxia to ask your leaders for an explanation and compensation. Chief Lei thinks, will the superiors find someone to come? Put this thing down?"

Chief Lei looked at Wang Zhong, his eyes were flickering, his complexion turned from blue to white, he took a few deep breaths, and asked calmly, "Didn't Comrade Wang Zhong say that there are two things! I don't know the second thing , what is it?"

"Last winter irrigation, my farm was 570 mu of land. Your stationmaster Chen asked me to pay 6 yuan, more than 100 yuan per mu of land. Our land preparation, one mu of land is only a few tens of yuan at most. Our Jintan There are 540 households in the village, with a total of 8000 three mu of land, and the money paid yesterday for last winter’s irrigation, calculated by your people, is [-] yuan.”

"I think Chief Lei is also clear about this matter!"

"Clear! Clear!"

How could such a big matter be unclear.

Seeing Wang Zhong like this, it was clear that he had thought about it a long time ago, and was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to pick this matter out.

"Chief Lei is a smart man, I don't think I need to say anything more!"

"Master Li, Wang Jin, Zhang Yuan, the three of you go over there and open the floodgates to Jintan Village!"

"Section chief, station chief..." The three young men walked to Lei Heng's side, hesitating and tangled.

That person named Master Li was beaten up by Yang San yesterday, resulting in nosebleeds.

Facing the three of them, Lei Heng sternly reprimanded with a frosty face: "Is it the station master's order that is more important, or the wheat in the common people's field? We are in charge of the water station for the country and the common people, not for the people. Who, the wheat in the fields of the folks is about to dry up, should we just watch?"

"You three, hurry up and release the water for me. If the station master comes back and blames me, no matter what happens, I will take care of it alone!"

At this moment, this section chief, Lei Heng, is like Bao Hei reincarnated, upright and upright, and the eight characters of wholeheartedly for the people are almost as engraved on his face.

"Chief Lei is really dedicated to serving the people!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said, but then turned his gaze to Yang San next to him: "Brother Yang San, take your people and follow our staff to take a look."

"Okay!" Yang San responded immediately, and called two fellow villagers who usually had a good relationship to follow.

Wang Chong handed out a note to Lei Heng and said, "This is my number. If Section Chief Lei needs help, please feel free to call me."

Looking at the note Wang Zhong handed over, Lei Heng hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was just a phone call and not a bribe, so he stretched out his hand to take it.

"Then thank you Chief Lei Ke!" Wang Zhong smiled and shook Lei Heng's hand.

"It should be, it should be!"

Lei Heng said with emotion on his face: "Thanks to Comrade Wang Zhong's words, I woke up, otherwise, I would have forgotten why I came to the water station!"

The villagers who were still angry and filled with righteous indignation just now couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them.

Wang Zhong just said a few words, let this section chief let the water go?

"Folks, don't stand here and block it. Not only will it affect the daily work of the water station, but it will also delay the watering of your own fields."

"Chief Lei has asked people to drain the water. Hurry up and go back to your own field to watch! It's time to call people, to get busy, and don't disappoint Chief Lei's good intentions."

"exactly!"

"Brother Wang Chong is right, let's go back quickly!"

The folks reacted immediately, and quickly greeted and ran back!

"Chief Lei, regarding the fact that the water irrigation station charged me 6 yuan for water last winter, I have to trouble Chief Lei to take extra care and respond to the leaders above."

"One winter irrigation is 12 yuan. After a year, it doesn't have to be [-] yuan! Although I, Wang Zhong, can afford this money, I am not a victim of being slaughtered. I responded to the government's call and took the lead in immigrating here to make money. Zhuang, if Section Chief Lei can't solve this problem, then I can only report it to the leader of our Yuquan camp."

"For one irrigation, one mu of land costs more than 100 yuan for water. This is the first time I have heard of such a high price, not to mention our Yuquan camp, even in the whole of Ningxia."

"Please rest assured, Comrade Wang Zhong, I will report this matter to the superior immediately, and I will solve this problem for you as soon as possible." Lei Heng almost patted his chest to assure Wang Zhong.

From the moment Lei Heng asked people to open the gate to release the water, he and Wang Zhong were tied together. No, it should be said that he had already made a choice. He chose to stand on the side of Jintan Village, chose to support Diaozhuang immigration policy here.

Choose to stand on the opposite side of that stationmaster Chen.

"Then it's hard work, Chief Lei!" Wang Zhong smiled and shook hands with Lei Heng again.

Wang Zhong was not in a hurry, said goodbye to Lei Heng, and then he got on his bicycle and chased after him.

Watching Wang Zhong and a group of villagers go away, the smile on Lei Heng's face gradually disappeared, and the kind and friendly temperament suddenly faded away, with a straight face and hands behind his back.

"Section chief, how should we explain to the station master?" A young man with no eyesight asked anxiously.

Lei Heng glanced coldly, and said indifferently: "Confess? Explain what? Isn't it right for our water station to supply water to the common people?"

The young man shook his head. The water pumping station built by the country with so much manpower and material resources was originally used for irrigation by the common people.

Lei Heng said with a serious face: "Since you are right, what are you afraid of? What you said just now is right. Although Jintan Village is no longer under our Qingtongxia management, the third-level water pumping at Yuquanying has not yet been completed. After repairing, Jintan Village can only divert water from our side for irrigation. The leader asked us to manage the water station, because he believed in us and could handle the irrigation problems of the people well, instead of waiting for the villagers to come to the leader to explain everything. Waiting for the order from the leader."

"Since we have accepted money from others and promised to provide them with water, how come we can go back on our word when it comes to an end?"

"I told the webmaster this morning, something will happen if you do this!"

"The country handed over the water station to us because it trusted us and thought we could do the work of the water station well. In some respects, in the eyes of the common people, we represent the country. After the water supply is finished, we continue to tease the common people like this morning, and what we damage is not only our image, but also the image of the country in the hearts of the common people.”

"When the time comes, the leaders will blame you. Are you responsible for this crime? Or am I?" Lei Heng glanced at the surrounding colleagues and calmly analyzed it for them.
