Bloody Journey: Those Years in Northeast China

Bloody Journey: Those Years in the Northeast - Chapter 318 The Coal Miners' Suffering

Shang Wenquan is a stubborn person, and also a person with a strong sense of justice. When he first started working, because Er Huizi stole a few road studs, and because Chen Tiezhu rode a bicycle in and out of the factory gate, Shang Wenquan could risk his life to follow him. These two people risked their lives, which shows how strong Shang Wenquan's sense of justice is.

Although Shang Wenquan is getting older and less angry, Shang Wenquan has to take care of such trivial things as the old men of the Li family beating their wives when they are drunk, and the old ladies of the Qian family stealing people behind their backs. Gao Peng How could he ignore something that harmed the vital interests of the workers?

The reason why Shang Wenquan ignored the demands of those low-level workers' leaders was because as he got older, Shang Wenquan's experience also increased.Having dealt with people like Shen Tianlong and Li Guodong for a long time, Shang Wenquan is much smarter than before.He knew that those people's method of besieging the coking plant was to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.Regarding Gao Peng's embezzlement of state property through the coking plant, Shang Wenquan naturally has his own ideas.

Shang Wenquan's current position is dispatching, and dispatching has the reputation of the night shift factory manager in the production enterprise.The production of the entire enterprise, the materials entering and leaving the site, the deployment of personnel, and the management of spare parts are all within the jurisdiction of dispatching.It can be said that dispatching positions are one of the positions with the most comprehensive understanding of the entire enterprise.

Taking advantage of his work, Shang Wenquan easily figured out the logistics flow of materials entering and leaving the coking plant.After figuring this out, Shang Wenquan used his off-duty time to ride his red happiness [-] motorcycle, put on a hood and a mask, covered himself tightly, and secretly followed the Red Square Mining The bureau's transport convoy set off.

Although the coal output of the Red Square Mining Bureau is large, the quality of the coal is not good. The coal produced is mainly low-quality lignite, and the main sales channel for this lignite is the Fucheng Power Plant in the neighboring province.

Fucheng is also a city based on coal, but the coal quality in Fucheng is much better than that in Hongqi City, so the coking coal of the coking plant of Hongchang Mining Bureau is purchased from Fucheng.

The thermal coal in Hongqi City is unloaded at the Fucheng Power Plant, and then the car is loaded with coking coal from the Fucheng Coal Mine to make coke. This is the most important logistics of the import and export materials of the Red Square Mining Bureau.

Riding a motorcycle and following the mighty transport convoy of the Red Square Mining Bureau along the way, Shang Wenquan was turned into a monkey by the raised coal ash all the way, but in the end he finally made an amazing discovery.

What Shang Wenquan discovered was that the Red Square Mining Bureau obviously went to more than 30 vehicles, but in the end only ten vehicles were unloaded at the power plant, and the coal in the remaining 20 fully loaded vehicles was distributed to empty vehicles, plus The coking coal purchased at the Fucheng Coal Mine came back in a mighty manner.

That is to say, the coal used by the coking plant for coking is basically the low-quality coal produced by its own coal mine and a small part of real coking coal.However, after the coal went to Fucheng for a while, it all returned to Hongqi City at the price of high-quality coking coal from the Fucheng Mining Bureau.

"You bastards, you bastards!" After discovering the secret, Shang Wenquan cursed secretly, and returned to Hongqi City on his motorcycle.

Time is passing, and people are growing up. After all, Shang Wenquan has matured, and his temper has eased a lot.A few years ago, when Shang Wenquan found out about this situation, he would definitely pull out the driver's neck and ask why the driver did this.But now he is not so reckless, he knows that it is not the driver who wants to do this, but Gao Peng.

In addition to Gao Peng, this matter must also involve some big names in the Hongqi municipal circles, otherwise, why would all those people who caused troubles be arrested by the Public Security Bureau, and some of them were even sentenced to prison?

Knowing this secret, Shang Wenquan returned to Hongqi City immediately and found Shen Tianlong.

"Tianlong, that bastard Gao Peng is really wicked. Our Mining Bureau has been losing money year after year, and the city government spends a lot of money to subsidize the Mining Bureau every year. It turns out that the money was embezzled by that bastard Gao Peng.*** He actually took our own coal out for a while, and then brought it back as high-quality coal, and sold his own coal to our own coal mine." Shang Wenquan said angrily.

"Brother Shang, does Gao Peng know that you secretly followed the convoy?" Shen Tianlong knew that this matter was of great importance, and he was worried about Shang Wenquan's safety.

"Of course I don't know. Your brother has been in the world for so long, and he is also an old man. Why don't you understand this?" After getting in touch with Shen Tianlong a lot, Shang Wenquan also got a bad habit of boasting.

When Shen Tianlong knew that Gao Peng used this method of cheating to seek benefits for himself, he was also very indignant.Although Shen Tianlong's sense of justice is not as overwhelming as Shang Wenquan's, but growing up in a coal mine since childhood, Shen Tianlong naturally sided with the coal miners.

Having worked in the Public Security Bureau for several years, Shen Tianlong is already familiar with the personnel relationship behind these people. Li Yuanchao's relationship with Gao Peng was not very good at the beginning, but Lu Yan can now wear a pair of pants with Gao Peng.

Shang Wenquan and Shen Tianlong chatted carefully all morning, and then wrote Shang Wenquan's discovery into written materials, and the two signed their names and pressed their fingerprints!

Real name report!

What these two brothers have to do is to report with their real names!

And the object of their real-name report is Gao Peng, director of the Red Square Mining Bureau.After carefully reading the report materials several times, and then carefully sealing it with a file bag, Shen Tianlong went to Gao Changhe again after get off work.

"Brother Gao, Secretary Yao really attaches great importance to this matter?" After passing the information to Gao Changhe, Shen Tianlong asked again worriedly.

Some time ago, Shen Tianlong gave Gao Changhe some materials signed by some workers, but after they were transferred to Gao Changhe, these materials fell into the sea like mud, and there was no movement at all.So even though Shen Tianlong knew that Yao Zhijiang was an upright and good official, he was still a little worried about this matter.

Seeing the uneasy expression on Shen Tianlong's face, Gao Changhe smiled and said, "Tianlong, if you are not in charge, you don't know that Chai Migui is expensive. In a huge Hongqi City with a population of 400 million, Secretary Yao has the kind of personality of doing it yourself. Others I just thought that Secretary Yao had a great reputation, but who can understand the hard work of Secretary Yao who is overworked every day?" After a pause, Gao Changhe patted Shen Tianlong's shoulder again, and said earnestly: "After all, things have to be done one by one. Handling, especially this kind of matter that involves multiple interests, you must be more cautious when handling it, and you may be smashed to pieces if you are not careful, and I hope you must understand Secretary Yao's difficulties on this point!"

Gao Changhe didn't say much, but his tone was very sincere, and there was a sense of helplessness in his sincerity.Shen Tianlong knew that although Yao Zhijiang was the secretary of the municipal party committee of Hongqi City, because of Lu Zhendong's tough opponent, Yao Zhijiang had to restrain himself when doing many things in Hongqi City.

Hearing what Gao Changhe said, Shen Tianlong also expressed his understanding helplessly. After all, Yao Zhijiang's work at that level was something he couldn't participate in at all, and he had no right to intervene at all.

Saying goodbye to Gao Changhe, Shen Tianlong was a little sad.

Shen Tianlong is not a person with a lot of sympathy, but he grew up in a coal mine, and his father died because of a job accident, so Shen Tianlong understands the hardships of coal miners, and he is actually full of sympathy for coal miners.

In mines, there are very few dual-career families. Usually a coal mine worker supports his wife and children.And when it’s time for the coal miners to get home from get off work, if the miners come home late one night, the miners’ wives will keep looking at the door.

Because they don't know if their man will come back safely. After all, underground landslides, gas explosions, various machinery and equipment, and accidents caused by detonators and explosives are emerging one after another. I am afraid that coal miners can be said to be the most dangerous in the world in terms of the probability of casualties. type of work.

Even though there were no industrial accidents among the coal miners, when Masui came up, the miners' bodies were black except for their dazzlingly white teeth, especially the two streaks of black under the nostrils, which were particularly conspicuous.Dirty is only one aspect of coal mine work. If we go deeper, workers use dry air drills to drill rocks when they open mountains and fire guns. When the electric drills are turned on, rock powder and gravel are scattered everywhere with the wind.The nose is full of scum of different sizes, and you need to dig it out with your hands to breathe.For several hours after the end of the day, miners spit black phlegm.

And a large part of this dust entered the respiratory tract, stuck to the lungs, and formed large and small hard lumps in the lungs. Over time, the normal lung tissue was replaced by these hard things. In severe cases, it would affect the Respiratory function, finally until respiratory failure, and finally death.

This disease is called silicosis, which is an occupational disease of all coal miners, and Shen Tianlong's father also had more serious silicosis before his work-related death.

From Shen Tianlong's point of view, the working environment of coal miners is probably one of the worst in the world.The workers had to work in this environment in order to support their families, but the fruits of their hard work were taken by Gao Peng and others, which made Shen Tianlong scold others for talking in his sleep.

Even though this matter has nothing to do with him, even though Gao Peng and Lu Yan are people he can't afford to offend, but together with Shang Wenquan, Shen Tianlong has made up his mind to seek justice for these coal miners.

"Ring bell bell!"

Early the next morning, just as Shen Tianlong finished his daily morning meeting, the phone on the desk rang quickly.

"Tianlong, come to me." After picking up the phone, Li Guodong's voice came from the other side.
