Chapter 284 Lin Haiyang's suggestion: fundraising for road repair leads to trouble.
Chapter 284 Lin Haiyang's suggestion: Accident occurred during fundraising for road repairs.
Qi Tongwei first arranged for Ma Ningtao to deliver wine and meat to the provincial geological team, so that they could treat them to a meal on the southern barren mountain.
Once the provincial geological team finishes their work here, we'll arrange a banquet in the county town to properly reward them.
Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei plans to ask the municipal geological team to conduct a more thorough exploration of several small mineral deposits.
Let's see if there's any value that can be developed and utilized.
Even a small mosquito is still meat; mineral resources should be developed and utilized as much as possible.
In addition, Qi Tongwei plans to increase the mileage of secondary highways, adding the secondary highways from the county seat to Nanhuang Township, Jingang Township, Batou Township, and Yunshan Township.
By connecting the towns and villages in between, the transportation situation in Jinshan County will be greatly improved.
The overall development of Jinshan County can then be accelerated.
After all, if the county seat needs to develop, the towns and villages below it also need to develop.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei plans to bring in four large mining companies so that the secondary highway he wants to build can be constructed smoothly.
With the costs shared among four families, the burden on each family will be much lighter.
Back in the county town, Qi Tongwei asked Lin Haiyang to come to his office.
"County Chief Qi, you wanted to see me?"
Lin Haiyang arrived quickly.
"Director Lin, how is the planning and design of the secondary highway from the county seat to the city center progressing?"
Has the planning for a first-class highway connecting the county seat and the city center begun?
Qi Tongwei asked.
Only after the planning and design were completed did he learn the specific mileage and cost.
"County Chief Qi, the planning and design of the secondary highway from the county seat to the city is almost complete, and the results should be available in a few days."
The planning and design of the first-class highway from the county seat to the city is also underway, but it will take some time.
Furthermore, I believe that instead of building a secondary highway, it would be better to build a primary highway directly!
According to our survey, the geological structure between the county seat and the city center is suitable for building a first-class highway, or even a top-level expressway.
Compared to secondary highways, primary highways offer faster travel speeds and can accommodate more vehicles.
Lin Haiyang said.
Qi Tongwei asked them to plan and design the secondary highway and the primary highway, with two options to choose from.
If he could, Qi Tongwei would definitely choose a first-class highway.
After all, a first-class highway would be more beneficial to improving the transportation conditions of Jinshan County and would further promote the development of Jinshan County.
Secondary highways are only built when primary highways cannot be constructed.
Otherwise, Qi Tongwei wouldn't have simply repaired the old road from the county to the city and kept most of the funds.
"I'll consider this. You guys hurry up and finish the planning and design!"
In addition, you should also do a route planning and design for the secondary highways from the county seat to Nanhuang Township, Jingang Township, Batou Township, and Yunshan Township.
We should try to cover as many of the central towns as possible!
Keep this confidential!
Qi Tongwei explained his new requirements.
"Yes, County Chief Qi!"
But wouldn't this conflict with County Chief Li's road construction plan?
Lin Haiyang was worried about a conflict with Li Dakang's road construction plan.
After all, Li Dakang was in charge of the roads connecting the county seat to the various towns.
"No, County Chief Li and his team only raised three or four million yuan, which is less than half of the required amount."
Many of the roads that were planned to be built cannot be constructed by County Chief Li and his team for the time being.
Besides, we're only making plans here; whether we can actually build it is still uncertain.
Of course, planning ahead now won't be a waste; we can fix it when we have the money later!
Qi Tongwei said.
Maybe Li Dakang and his team will run into trouble before they even start building the road!
"Yes, County Chief Qi!"
Lin Haiyang knew that even the planned secondary highway from the county to the city might not be built.
But as far as he knew, Qi Tongwei was someone who could do things that everyone thought were impossible.
If Qi Tongwei actually manages to build the secondary highway from the county seat to the city, he, as a participant, will have achieved considerable success.
These days, if you want to get promoted, besides having enough seniority, the best way is to achieve results.
With good results, promotion will be much easier.
If Qi Tongwei were to build the first-class highway, he might be promoted to bureau chief.
Meanwhile, with Li Dakang and his team's actions, the pace of fundraising accelerated considerably.
However, because the amount required to pay is quite large, many ordinary people still do not pay.
The main problem is that I don't have the money; I can't afford it.
In order to keep their positions, leaders in various townships had no choice but to intensify their efforts to collect taxes from the people.
This has caused great resentment among the people.
But since they couldn't collect the money, Li Dakang threatened to dismiss them, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue collecting money.
As for ordinary people, we can only let them suffer a little longer.
Once the road is repaired, transportation will be more convenient, the town will develop better, and the lives of the people will be much better.
However, trouble broke out not long afterward.
A woman in Nanhuang Township drank pesticide because she couldn't pay the fine.
A village Party secretary in Jingang Township died suddenly from overwork while persuading villagers to pay money.
Several hundred people from the two villages went to the township governments of Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township, demanding an explanation from the township governments.
Villagers from two villages, who had sought explanations from the township governments of Nanhuang Township and Jingang Township without success, went to the county government to demand an explanation.
Thousands of people surrounded the county government building, making it impossible to move!
When Ma Ningtao called Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei was meeting with buyers in Jingzhou.
Fan Shichang, Zeng Yishan, Zhang Zhengyang, Liu Qianjin, and Jiang Wei all introduced him to potential buyers. Qi Tongwei came to meet them and discuss the acquisition price.
Upon receiving the message, Qi Tongwei first reported the matter to Fan Shichang, Zeng Yishan, Zhang Zhengyang, Liu Qianjin, and Jiang Wei.
Then he said goodbye to the buyers and rushed back to Jinshan County.
Qi Tongwei was not surprised at all that the fundraising for road construction had gone wrong.
After all, it did happen in name only.
Qi Tongwei wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.
If they had waited a few more days, perhaps the woman and the village secretary wouldn't have died.
Upon arriving in Lüzhou, Qi Tongwei reported to Luo Zhenbang, Du Lianfeng, and Yue Shengli about the incident involving the fundraising for road construction in Jinshan County and what he had done in Jingzhou.
Qi Tongwei did not report on the mining matter, planning to do so later.
Upon returning to Jinshan County, Qi Tongwei found that the villagers had already gone home, and the atmosphere in the county government compound was somber.
"County Chief Qi, Secretary Yi said that a Standing Committee meeting will be held soon!"
Ma Ningtao had been waiting in the office for a long time.
"I know, tell me exactly what happened!"
Qi Tongwei wanted to know the specifics so he could prepare for the upcoming Standing Committee meeting.
Knowing Li Dakang's nature, he will definitely shift the blame onto himself, saying that the incident occurred because he didn't provide them with funding.
"Yes, County Chief Qi..."
Ma Ningtao quickly explained the details to Qi Tongwei.
"By the way, have I spread the word that I'm planning to find buyers to purchase the mountain produce?"
Before going to Jingzhou to meet the buyers, Qi Tongwei had Ma Ningtao spread the word.
Although some people may hoard mountain products in advance, causing trouble for the sale of mountain products.
But Qi Tongwei was worried that Li Dakang might not be able to wait and might cause trouble, so he had no choice but to release the news ahead of time.
This will alleviate the pressure on ordinary people, give the townships a break, and also give Li Dakang and his team a break.
At the same time, it was also to shut up Li Dakang and others, so that no one could find an excuse.
Although I haven't provided you with financial support, I'm trying to find ways to increase the income of ordinary people and help you raise funds for road construction.
However, Qi Tongwei still couldn't save the woman and the village secretary.
