There was a burst of cheers at the scene, as if Xu Yishan's arrival had brought them hope.
Geng Qiang's face was ashen, he didn't sit down, and looked at everything in front of him coldly like a tall and straight pine tree.
At the same time, another person who was sent to talk was a young man. He just sat down on the ground, looked up at Xu Yishan and said, "Secretary Xu, we all know you. You are here, and we all listen to you."
Xu Yishan said straightforwardly: "Okay, you guys talk about things first."
The old man forcibly expropriated the land in Xianghe City, neither paid for the land acquisition nor for the demolition, and even told about the arrest of several leaders. After finishing speaking, the old man let out a long sigh and said, "Secretary Xu, I am an old party member. I have been a revolutionist all my life. I just can't figure it out. Who is ruling the world now?"
The young man said sadly and angrily: "That's right, as the old saying goes, officials don't demolish private houses. Now they not only demolish them, they don't pay a penny, and they don't care. And anyone who dares to make trouble will be arrested."
Xu Yishan laughed and said, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
The old man said: "Secretary Xu, I admit that some of our villagers have wrong ideas. Supporting national construction is the duty of each of us. We can't dream of getting rich by relying on these things. However, the government is simply unreasonable Ah, arresting people at every turn, and refusing to let them see, I heard that they will be sentenced. If this continues, why do ordinary people trust the government?"
After hearing what the old man said, Xu Yishan felt that the old man spoke very well. After asking, I found out that the old man used to be the village party secretary.
Geng Qiang, who was standing on one side, seemed a little restless, and the villagers who appeared suddenly made him feel ashamed.
He seemed a little impatient and said: "Secretary Xu, this is not a place to talk. If the masses have any demands, they can go to the city to talk."
The young man snorted, "We're not going. If we go, what if you arrest us again?"
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Young man, you think too much. We are the people's government, how could we arrest our own people for no reason."
The young man said: "Now you cadres, you don't still have people like us in your heart. Secretary Xu, I don't care what you do here today. I will speak straight and just ask for two things."
"Say." Xu Yishan encouraged him, "Say what you think."
"First, release all those arrested." The young man explained: "They haven't committed a crime, so why arrest them? Second, give us the land acquisition money that should be given to us."
Xu Yishan didn't ask Geng Qiang about the arrest. He believed they were not lying.
Now many local governments like to adopt this coercive method. But for those who affect the government's decision-making, take the lead in inciting the emotions of the masses, and cause instability, the first method the government adopts is to first control the people.
This kind of thing happened in Maoshan. It happened in Hengyue, Chenzhou and Yuezhou.
?Government officials who are well versed in the way of controlling others know the significant effect of killing chickens and monkeys.
But he didn't expect that Geng Qiang from Xianghe would also adopt this measure.
"The person must be released." Xu Yishan promised: "As long as there is no crime, the person must be released."
Geng Qiang hurriedly interjected: "Secretary Xu, whether to let him go or not is decided by the public security organs. Will we be suspected of interfering with judicial freedom when we make a decision?"
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Secretary Geng, we must believe that our common people are kind. Even if they have some extreme behaviors in the land acquisition and demolition, it is understandable. After all, everyone has a heart for profit."
An embarrassing scene appeared on Xianghe's future new energy vehicle base.
Xu Yishan, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Provincial Party Committee, leader of Xianghe City, secretary Geng Qiang, was surrounded by a group of angry ordinary people in a grassy field.
The mood of the masses obviously did not calm down. They stubbornly surrounded the two leaders and asked for an explanation.
Kong Ye leaned close to Xu Yishan's ear and whispered, "Secretary Xu, the riot brigade will be here soon."
Xu Yishan glanced at him, the smile on his face faded, he beckoned Kong Ye to come over, and said in a low voice: "Notify immediately, the anti-riot team is not allowed to appear at the scene."
Kong Ye was anxious, and quickly explained in a low voice, "Only they can control the current situation."
Xu Yishan said in a louder voice: "I don't believe that the common people will eat us."
Of course Xu Yishan couldn't express his position on their demands in front of the masses.
After all, this is Geng Qiang's territory. despite myselfEven as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he can't take the lead. He knew that Geng Qiang would not object to his decision, but if he made a decision, it would be very detrimental to Geng Qiang's future work in Xianghe.
"Two representatives, please wait a moment. I want to ask Secretary Geng's opinion on something." Xu Yishan said with a smile: "Everyone is here today, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Geng Qiang was very excited about Xu Yishan's idea of ??releasing him. He said bitterly: "Old Xu, do you know? These few injured several of our government employees, and they didn't take our government seriously at all."
Xu Yishan said with a smile: "Old Geng, the masses must have been forced to have nowhere to go when they beat people. I started from the grassroots, and I have dealt with the masses a lot in the past. My overall feeling is that the common people are still kind. Sometimes they feel that they have no place to vent their anger, and these aggressive behaviors are likely to occur."
"If I let these people go, how can I explain to my comrades?" Geng Qiang exclaimed angrily: "Besides, this is a collective research decision of our Xianghe Municipal Party Committee, and those who are lawless must be brought to justice."
"Old Geng, the root of the conflict lies in economic interests." Xu Yishan sighed, "If we don't solve the problem at its root, the conflict will never be eliminated. Tough measures can only guarantee temporary stability. To establish a social environment of long-term stability, we still need to meet social needs in many ways.¡±
Instead of being angry, Geng Qiang smiled, and said in a dazed manner, "Old Xu, you understand my difficulty now. If I have money, why should I argue with them? Isn't it because I don't have money?"
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "As long as it is a problem that can be solved by money, it is not a problem."
Geng Qiang understood that Xu Yishan's words did not mean that he was rich and powerful. In fact, as long as any problem can be solved by money, it shows that the contradiction is not irreconcilable.
Under Xu Yishan's persuasion, Geng Qiang took the initiative to negotiate with the representatives of the masses.
He promised to release the captured villagers as soon as possible. But you must go through the procedure of release on bail. Second, regarding the payment of land acquisition and demolition funds, he requested that as long as it is within the framework stipulated by the Xianghe Municipal Government, it will be fully paid within a week.
Geng Qiang's answer was cheered by the crowd.
People surrounded them and walked towards the car parked not far away, with happy smiles on their tense faces as if they were facing a big enemy.
Sitting in the car, Geng Qiang said with a wry smile: "Old Xu, why do I feel seriously coerced today?"
Xu Yishan said with a smile: "It's normal to feel this way. But if you put yourself in the position of a fish and regard the masses as the water for raising fish, you won't have this feeling. Secretary Geng, we are sorry for the common people ah!"
Back in the car to Xianghe City, Xu Yishan still had to discuss with Geng Qiang how to win the new energy technology in Xu Jing's hands.
