Chapter 179: The Problem of Xiaoraoshan Power Station

"County Magistrate Wang, the villagers in Dashan Township are causing trouble." Duan Wenliang called in.

Wang Zerong was startled when he heard this and asked, "What happened?"

Duan Wenliang said: "I just received a call from Dashan Township, saying that the villagers have petitioned for the land compensation for Xiaoraoshan Power Station many times but no results. This time, hundreds of people gathered at the door of the township government and asked for an explanation."

As soon as he put down the phone, Zhang Shunxiang called in: "Zerong, the villagers in Dashan Township are causing trouble, hurry up and arrive in Dashan Township." Yan Hezu, the head of Dashan Township, is Zhang Shunxiang's confidant. It is estimated that Yan Hezu called him the first time.

"Okay, I'll rush over immediately." When Wang Zerong heard that hundreds of people were causing trouble, he felt that the matter was causing a lot and was anxious about the development of the situation.

As soon as the car drove a long way, Zheng Zhiming called in. Zerong, what place did you have to? Wang Zerong hurriedly replied: "It's on the way, the villagers in Dashan Village are causing trouble, I'm rushing there."

Zheng Zhiming said: "It is said that there are many people. You can rush over and learn about the situation first, and we will arrive later."

Dashan Township is the area with the richest water resources in Kaihe County. There are many mountains and rivers here, which are more suitable for development and power station construction. Xiaoraoshan Power Station is a medium-sized power station. The land compensation for villagers' trouble is mainly for compensation for land acquisition when building power stations.

Because the funds for building a power station are relatively large, many people are secretly speculating about some tricks in building a power station. Wang Zerong heard Mo Dabiao mention that there were problems with the power station last time. Now when he heard the villagers causing trouble, he probably had something to do with this.

Halfway through the car, Wang Zerong called Yu Zhanguang, the secretary of Dashan Township. There were obviously many noisy sounds around Yu Zhanguang. "Old Yu, how is the situation now?" Wang Zerong asked anxiously. So many villagers are causing trouble, which is a big group event. If a life matters will be a big deal, he doesn't want such a thing to happen.

"County Magistrate Wang, now that the number of villagers gathers more and more, everyone is very excited. They say they want to have a conversation with the county leaders." Yu Zhanguang said anxiously.

Wang Zerong said: "Try to do as much persuasion and explanation as possible, and try not to expand the situation, I will arrive soon." After hanging up the phone, Wang Zerong sat in the car and began to ponder.

Why has the land compensation for these villagers not been in place in the county? Is it really the problem that the villagers say?

Dashan Township is located in a mountain depression. As soon as the car crossed the mountain, Wang Zerong saw that the entrance of the township government was full of villagers. From a distance, Yu Zhanguang and the township chief Yan Hezu were standing on the steps and explaining hard. The villagers pushed them around, and it was almost time to break out.

The car stopped outside the crowd, and Wang Zerong got out of the car. Yu Zhanguang saw Wang Zerong coming from afar and hurriedly said to the villagers: "Don't make a noise, don't make a noise. The county leaders are here, and if there is any situation, please report to the county leaders."

Hearing this, the villagers surrounded Wang Zerong and all kinds of curses vented at Wang Zerong. An old woman even wanted to step forward and grab Wang Zerong's clothes.

Wang Zerong found a relatively high place, stood up, and said, "I am the deputy county magistrate Wang Zerong. Don't be confused. Choose a few representatives to come to the conference room to talk about it. No one can understand what you are saying in such a noisy way. Believe in the government. As long as it is a reasonable request, you will definitely give an explanation."

When they learned that the young man was Wang Zerong, many villagers still knew his name and knew that Wang Zerong had some power in the county recently. Many people did not want to hear Wang Zerong's words, and they still surrounded him there tightly. An old lady even cursed: "Now they are all officials who protect each other, so let him answer them here."

After she said this, many people present started to make excuses again. Seeing that more and more people were making excuses, Wang Zerong said: "Everyone comes here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble. Do you dare not send a few people to report the problem?"

After saying this, he jumped off the steps and walked towards the conference room of the township government.

Seeing Wang Zerong strode forward, a villager said, "Just listen to him and choose a few people."

People slowly flashed out a road. Wang Zerong walked into the conference room.

Yu Zhanguang and Yan Hezu followed closely behind.

After a while, the villagers selected ten representatives and walked in. Sitting upright on the chair, Wang Zerong asked, "You can talk about the things that are going on in detail."

After all, I entered the conference room of the township government, and these people were a little depressed.

A young man said: "Now the Xiaoraoshan Power Station has started to generate electricity, but our land compensation has not been sent for a long time. County Magistrate Wang, you know that if rural villagers have no land, they will lose their jobs to eat. How can they live!"

Another old man was even more excited: "We have reported this incident many times, and we are ruling every time. Even if we die, we will die here. We must let the officials give a clear answer."

Sitting there and listening quietly. Through understanding, Wang Zerong realized the situation. During the construction of Xiaoraoshan Power Station, due to the need for water storage, there were three villages, with more than 300 families occupied by the land. Later, the village carried out large community construction, and the people in these three villages moved to the newly built collective residential area. However, the compensation was not paid in time. Sometimes, it was a little more when the trouble was so big. Now, there are still some funds ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan per household. The most important thing is that these villagers lost their land and re-allocated some mountains, their income has been low, and their lives are in trouble.

After listening to the villagers' stories, Wang Zerong estimated that there must be something inside the county. Logically speaking, the county and the investor had an agreement at that time. The county government first paid the land compensation to the villagers. The investor allocated all the advance payments to the county government in one lump sum on the day the power station was completed. This matter should be very clear, but why did the county not pay it to the villagers until now?

Although he didn't know the reason, in order for the villagers to have a stable income, Wang Zerong's idea was that since the villagers had no income and were owed the compensation, he planned to turn the compensation into shares and invest it in the power station. Perhaps this would solve the income problem of the villagers well.

What Wang Zerong didn't expect was that Zheng Zhiming came very quickly. As soon as he talked to the villagers for a while, Zheng Zhiming walked in.

Zheng Zhiming was still a little uneasy about Xiao Zaoshan. His wife received a share of the matter in the name of a relative in the family. It was difficult for Gu Hongjun to solve this problem before, but now he has become the secretary. It should not be difficult to solve this problem. He originally wanted to solve the compensation for these villagers after taking office, but the matter was delayed as soon as it was too much. Now he suddenly heard that the villagers here were causing trouble, so he rushed over immediately.

Zheng Zhiming was very clear about the situation. When he entered the door, he said to the village representative: "The county party committee has been studying this matter for a long time. You tell everyone that there must be a proper solution within a week. If it is not resolved by then, you can find me Zheng Zhiming."

Ten representatives discussed it for a while. Thinking that Zheng Zhiming was the county party secretary, what he said should be credible. An old man said, "Okay, I will listen to Secretary Zheng's words this time. If there is no reply in a week, we will go to the county party committee to make trouble."

Seeing the villagers dispersed one after another, Zheng Zhiming said to Wang Zerong: "Zerong, we must discuss the result of this matter as soon as possible."

Wang Zerong said: "According to regulations, the compensation for villagers will be paid by the government first. The power station investment power will be used as a bonus. Now that the power station has generated power, the income should be available. Since the county government has no money, why not let the investor take out this money to pay?"

Zheng Zhiming said: "I know some of this. The investor is a businessman in the province. It is said that some of the backends are very tight. It is difficult to take out such a large sum of money at once. If it really doesn't work, let the county squeeze it."

Both of them knew that the other party represented a group of people, and as long as the other party agreed to their opinions, they could basically decide on this matter.

Considering the future life of the villagers, Wang Zerong said: "Secretary Zheng, I have an idea. Since the investor cannot take it out, if the money is paid by the county, the investor still cannot get it out in the future. This is also a big hole for the finances of Kaihe County. Why not convert the villagers' compensation funds into shares of the power station? In this way, the power station also has a supervisor and the villagers have a stable return."

When Zheng Zhiming heard this, he knew that Wang Zerong did not advocate using county money to pay. He frowned and said, "I'll negotiate with the investor." Zheng Zhiming began to feel a little worried. It would be bad if Wang Zerong discovered something through this matter.

Originally, according to the agreement, the government first advances the compensation. After the power station generates power, the investor pays the compensation to the county government in one lump sum. Since the investor has not paid the amount to the county government for a long time, the county government can also reconsider the matters of the agreement with the investor.

One of the purposes of Wang Zerong doing this is to give the villagers a stable income. In addition, he also has another purpose, which is to use this matter to see what kind of tricks exist in it, which can also be regarded as posing some problems for Zheng Zhiming.
