"Yun County, I just received a call from Director Miao An of the Safety Supervision Bureau. Half an hour ago, a flooding accident occurred at the Jinxin Coal Mine, a subsidiary of the Jinyuan Mining Company, located near Meilin Village in Zhongxin Town.
Miao An reported on the phone that the situation at the scene was unclear, including the number of trapped people and the extent of their injuries. Deputy County Chief Zhang Jinghui had already received a notification and was on his way back from the city.
Li Xiuyuan used concise language as much as possible to report the current situation he had. There was not a single word of nonsense in the whole process, and he did not add his own opinions or judgments.
"Go on." Yun Yanchang's voice on the phone was completely sober. It was 2005, not ten years ago. People were now very concerned about safety accidents in various places.
Once a safety accident occurs, no matter how small the matter is, it is not like ten years ago when a few people died in a coal mine and it was not a big deal at all. No one cared, as long as the families of the victims paid compensation.
Life is priceless, but human life is valuable.
The coal mine bosses know very well how much a life is worth.
"County Yun, no rescue has been launched on the scene yet. I have already told Director Miao when I was on the phone just now to make preparations for the rescue." Li Xiuyuan said gritting his teeth. He knew that saying this might cause Yun Yanchang to be disgusted, but he still couldn't help but speak.
On the phone, Yun Yanchang was silent for three seconds, obviously trying to digest the meaning of this. Half an hour had passed since the incident, and no rescue had been launched. There was obviously something hidden here.
But after a brief moment of contemplation, Yun Yanchang decisively said, "You're right. Give me Miao An's phone number. I'll contact him now. You notify the driver. We'll set off for the Jinxin Coal Mine now."
"Okay, County Yun, I'll make the arrangements now."
Li Xiuyuan hung up the phone and started contacting the driver Song Yu.
The phone rang twice before being picked up. Li Xiuyuan said directly, "Brother Song, you should leave now and drive to the county magistrate's house in Dongyun. Hurry."
"Hello, Secretary Li."
One good thing about Song Yu is that he doesn't ask any questions. After arranging the tasks, he starts to carry them out.
Li Xiuyuan came out of the room, went to the bathroom first, and washed his face with cold water to make himself completely sober and drive away the alcohol and sleepiness. Then he took the key to his electric bike, went out and rode towards Yun Yanchang's house.
At this time, there would be no problem in asking Yun Yanchang to pick me up in a special car, but time is tight and he would have to take a detour to pick me up.
The electric car was driving on the streets of Huangyuan County in the late night. When the cold wind blew, Li Xiuyuan's thoughts also spread.
The Jinxin Coal Mine accident, can this be used as an excuse to shut it down completely? The original plan was to build a new agricultural demonstration village in Meilin Village. With the Jinxin Coal Mine open and all the sewage and other issues, construction would be difficult.
If the Jinxin Coal Mine could be shut down, construction would be easier. After all, if the Jinxin Coal Mine was shut down, it would no longer discharge pollutants.
As for the Jinxin Coal Mine, it is actually nearing its end. Even without interference, mining will be quite difficult. It will only take one or two years. It would be better if the closure time could be brought forward.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about something as the car stopped at Yun Yanchang's house.
