"Tell me clearly, what's the big deal?"
"We are surrounded! Bring more people to rescue us!"
After that, there was a burst of noise in the receiver and the call was hung up.
Huo Qianli did not dare to delay and quickly told Gu Daqiang the situation. Gu Daqiang's face suddenly changed. He threw away the things in his hand and rushed forward along the road with Huo Qianli without delay.
On the way, he jogged and explained to Huo Qianli: "According to what I said, it is very likely that the people were indignant. In our rural areas, we are most afraid of such things. Once these villagers get angry, it is very likely that someone will die!"
Huo Qianli was shocked when he heard this. He quickened his pace and asked, "So they asked us to bring more people with us?"
Gu Daqiang shook his head. "No, if we bring people from our village with us at this time, it will probably add fuel to the fire. It's not Hushan Village's turn to take care of other villages' affairs!"
After saying that, he was speechless: "It is said that Mayor Lan is there, he is an old man, how can he still do such things!"
Although the people in Yutou Village and Shilong Village did not just receive dividends ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan like the four households in Hushan Village, and they also had next year's income to be prepaid, so the cost of repairing the house was not a problem, they also had policies coordinated by the Management Committee: a three-year interest-free loan from a credit union and priority to work in the Management Committee.
With these things around, how could such a big thing happen, unless one is a young and ignorant man who knows nothing but using his power to bully others?
Soon, they ran to the scene of the incident.
Although the person who reported the news didn't say it, you could tell from the noise you heard when you ran along the road.
My goodness, there are three layers of people surrounding a yard on the side of the road.
Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked inside through the crowd.
"Make way, please make way!"
"Excuse me! Excuse me!"
When they reached the innermost part of the "encirclement", the two opposing parties appeared clearly in front of them.
A dozen angry men and women, holding various sticks and shovels in their hands, greeted each other's mother and other relatives in a scattered manner, with the mother as the center.
The shovel-wielding class is watching covetously.
Opposite them, the people being besieged, six staff members from Qianfu Town and Old Man Lan, were standing or sitting with their bare hands and nervous looks on their faces.
The shovelless class is trembling.
There were benches of different heights and sizes scattered on the ground. In the middle of the benches, the village chief of Yutou Village was giving earnest advice.
But obviously the results were minimal.
When Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang walked into the core area of the confrontation, the eyes of the Qianfu Town staff instantly lit up, and the men standing with shovels immediately held the shovel handles alertly and fiercely, "What are you doing!"
Huo Qianli spread out his empty hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions, and said calmly: "I'm from Qianfu Town, and I heard that there was a misunderstanding here."
He looked past the person who was talking to him and looked at the leader. "They are all government officials. You can't just surround them all the time. I'm here to solve the problem. Let me talk to them first?"
"Who do you think you are? It's your turn..."
"Let him pass."
Before the man standing at the side could finish his arrogant words, the leading man spoke.
Huo Qianli smiled and nodded at him, then he and Gu Daqiang walked towards the staff of Qianfu Town.
With just a simple question, the doubts I had on the way here were answered. It turned out that the problem really lay with this old man who had been doing grassroots work for many years.
Regarding the demolition issue, Huo Qianli's idea was to divide the people and then cut the Gordian knot.
First pull out the old man who is most likely to be a diehard, tell him that I originally didn't want to demolish your house, but now I have found a way to include you, and then pass the choice to him, and the old man will change from a very likely diehard to a firm supporter.
At the same time, for the remaining few families, he artistically adjusted the content of the meeting. Yes, what he told the villagers was not a lie. The compensation standard set at the beginning was indeed relatively low. Many people, including Zheng Qiang, wanted to save as much as possible.
So where is the best place to save money? Of course, it is best to save money on farmers.
However, Huo Qianli argued for them and got more compensation. Even though the price difference was only 20 yuan per square meter, it was still a considerable increase in income for the mud houses of 200 to 300 square meters in the countryside.
In addition, they had some spare money on hand, the cooperative was willing to advance next year's revenue, and Gu Daqiang pretended to be heroic and "forced" them, so everyone quickly signed the agreement.
As for Shangu Town's deputy mayor, Old Man Lan, who is about to retire, his idea is to take advantage of the situation and snowball.
Although this old man Lan looks careless, he has worked at the grassroots level for decades and is very experienced.
Relying on his familiarity with this rural area, he first asked the village chief to lead him to find the simplest and most convincing method.
For some people who have some financial resources and want to build a house, it would be better if the government could help solve part of the problem.
Old Man Lan told these people that if this matter could not be accomplished, the route would be changed, so everyone should work together to find a way to get the other families to agree.
Then he took these people to the next house. They were all from the same village, and with Old Man Lan's kind words of persuasion, many of them agreed reluctantly.
So more people gathered and went to the next house.
The previous progress was smooth, almost completely according to Old Man Lan's script, but unexpectedly, something went wrong when they arrived at the sixth house.
