Therefore, these two fathers also hope that they can make further progress before retirement.
As a result of their efforts, Tang Guowei, who was originally unqualified, became the top leader of Fu'an County, so they felt that their chance had come.
After discussion, the three of them set their sights on Sandaliang Village. Because it was surrounded by mountains and had extremely rich forestry resources, Tang Guowei's father-in-law planned to set up a forest farm here in the name of the Forestry Bureau to cut down timber.
Tang Guowei's father was responsible for contacting his confidants and supporting this resolution during the meeting.
If it can be passed smoothly, it will become the shining points of the three people, both in terms of economic benefits and political achievements.
This matter may seem insignificant on the surface, but the problem is that they only considered themselves but did not consider whether the people in Sandaliang Village were willing.
Because the village is surrounded by mountains, there is only one main road in and out of the village, on the west side.
Therefore, when Tang Guowei accompanied the people from the Forestry Bureau of the Provincial Department to inspect, he set his sights on the large cemetery in the village as the land for building a forest farm.
The terrain of this cemetery is relatively flat and the area is large enough, which is just right for building the main building of the forest farm. There is also enough area to stack wood, and after connecting to the road outside, it can be easily transported.
However, if you want to build a forest farm, the first thing you have to do is to mobilize the villagers to move the graves of their relatives.
As for where to move to, the staff of the Forestry Bureau also gave an answer, which is that there is such a large area of mountains and forests around, so they can bury wherever they want.
When Li Mancang and Li Erniu, who were present at the scene, heard this, they became unhappy and directly refused to relocate the grave.
Not only did the two villagers disagree, even the people from the Red Flag Commune who came with them felt that the words of the person from the Forestry Bureau were unpleasant to the ear.
The county magistrate Tang Guowei, who was standing aside, immediately frowned after hearing what Li Mancang and Li Erniu said, and looked at them with displeasure.
In the past, Li Mancang and Li Erniu might have been afraid of the county magistrate, but ever since Xu Jianguo was awarded the first-class merit and honorary title, and was promoted to colonel, not to mention them, everyone in the entire Sandaliang Village was proud of it.
Even Li Jinlong's family, who once had conflicts with Xu Jianguo, now feel proud whenever Xu Jianguo's name is mentioned.
Therefore, Li Mancang and Li Erniu did not take seriously what the county magistrate and the people from the Forestry Bureau of the Administrative Office said.
It’s not impossible for us to relocate the graves in our village, but you have to at least come up with a reasonable plan, right?
Even if there is no plan, at least you can speak in a nice way, right?
What do you mean by bury wherever you want? Why don't your ancestors just find a random place to bury them?
Besides, if they told us to relocate the graves, it would be relocation. This was village land after all, and there was no mention of compensation or land use fees. How could Li Mancang and Li Erniu agree? So they refused outright. As for the so-called county magistrate, they didn't even look at him and prepared to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Tang Guowei said in a low voice to the two people as they left, "This matter was decided by the leaders of the administrative office. You can't just say no and not move the graves. I brought the comrades from the Forestry Bureau here today, not to discuss with you at all, but just to inform you that the country needs to requisition this land. If you want to stop it, it will hinder development. I think you know better than me what the consequences of standing against the people are! I only give you one week. Hurry and move the graves, so that you can be credited in the book of merit. Otherwise, when I come with the construction team in a week, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After Tang Guowei finished speaking, he glanced at Li Mancang and Li Erniu who were standing there in a daze, then glared at the people from Hongqi Commune, and left with the people from the Forestry Bureau.
It was precisely because of what Tang Guowei said before he left that Li Mancang hesitated about whether to call Xu Jianguo for help.
This incident happened two days ago. He had already told all the villagers the whole story. When everyone knew about it, they were naturally filled with indignation.
A group of old men in the village, including Li Dashan, slammed the table and cursed, saying that this was the logic of a robber.
Some villagers also suggested that Li Mancang go to the county to call Xu Jianguo for help.
However, he was a little hesitant about what Tang Guowei had said before, "This matter was decided by the leaders of the administrative office." He was worried that it would cause trouble for Xu Jianguo, so he was hesitant. This led to the scene of the two families in the yard looking worried.
Li Mancang smoked his pipe and thought about the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. After careful consideration, he decided to tell Xu Jianguo about this matter.
Even if the problem cannot be solved, I think he is in the army and local affairs should not cause him too much trouble. Besides, Mr. Li Dashan, who has been on the battlefield, also advocates telling Xu Jianguo about this matter.
Having made up his mind, Li Mancang exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, knocked the pipe on the ground a few times, then stood up and said to Li Xin who was sitting next to him, "Jinzi, come with me to the county. I'll call Jianguo!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed joy on their faces. Before Li Xin could say anything, Li Erniu stood up and said, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
Li Mancang shook his head and said, "No, you still have to keep an eye on the team's affairs. If we both leave, Changxing can't keep an eye on it alone! The autumn harvest will be in two days, and there must be no mistakes!"
