life in the sky

The old man nodded and shook his head again: "Chief, I volunteered to protect my comrades in arms."

After talking to Mu Guoxing, he knew that this old man was called Li Zhigang, and most of the martyrs who died here were his comrades in arms.In that self-defense counterattack that shocked the world, Li Zhigang's battalion fell into the enemy's siege in order to cover the retreat of the large troops. land.

Later, after the counterattack of a large force defeated the enemy, the remains of these martyrs were transported back to the country and buried on this hillside not far from the border.

Li Zhigang pointed to the tombstones and told Mu Guoxing about the tragic battle and the sacrifice of these comrades.As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.Decades have passed, but the old man's yearning for his comrades-in-arms is still the same as before. This friendship of comrades-in-arms moved Mu Guoxing, and also moved the cadres, large and small, who followed them.

The cemetery was cleaned neatly without any fallen leaves. Mu Guoxing held Li Zhigang's hand tightly and said emotionally: "Thank you, Comrade Li Zhigang!" Li Zhigang nodded: "This is what I should do. They are buried in the Underground, I can still live, I am considered lucky compared to them, but we have not been here for a long time, I heard that we will make way for the construction of the railway again. Hey, these comrades of mine just want to sleep. Can't sleep well!" Li Zhigang's words confirmed the situation reflected in the note. Mu Guoxing said: "Old comrade, where do you live now? Can you let me go to your residence to see, we have a good time Chat." Li Zhigang looked at Mu Guoxing, turned around and limped towards the gate.There are only a table, a chair and a bed in the three dilapidated brick houses. There is a pot and stove made of broken bricks and tiles in the corner. This is the old man's dinner.

Mu Guoxing was invited to sit down on the chair. Li Zhigang brought Mu Guoxing a cup of boiled water from an old military teacup, and then sat on the bed opposite Mu Guoxing, silently watching the young senior official in front of him. , without saying a word.

"Comrade Li Zhigang, you just said that this cemetery will make way for the railway construction. What's going on?"

VIP Chapter [-] Benefits

Although Li Zhigang still doesn't know who the young high-ranking official sitting in front of him is, judging from the respectful expressions of the people following him, this person's official status must not be small.

Li Zhigang didn't answer but asked instead: "May I ask your surname, chief, what should I call you?"

"I am Mu Guoxing, Secretary of the Guangnan Provincial Party Committee."

"You are Secretary Mu? Now it's all right. My comrades in arms don't have to mess around anymore. They can finally have a place to rest with peace of mind."

Li Zhigang opened up the chatter box, and told Mu Guoxing the ins and outs of the relocation of the cemetery. Following Li Zhigang's narration, the anger in Mu Guoxing's heart became more and more intense.

According to the original survey, the railway should pass one kilometer northwest of the Martyrs Cemetery, but because the railway will pass through a resort in front of it, the local government made a decision and asked the railway contractor to change the original plan and change the railway to Go through the Martyrs Cemetery and avoid the villa area.

Mu Guoxing asked: "Which unit is the resort in, and what is it used for?"

"I heard that it is a resort built by the Southwest Power Grid. It is mainly for the convenience of those officials who go abroad. Now they are only concerned with developing the economy, and the dead have to make way for the living."

Mu Guoxing heard the dissatisfaction in Li Zhigang's words, and asked again: "Didn't you report this problem to your superiors?"

Li Zhigang smiled wryly and said, "The Civil Affairs Bureau is responsible for the management of the Martyrs Cemetery. I'm just here to take care of my comrades-in-arms. In what name should I report it to my superiors? The Civil Affairs Bureau also has to listen to the county party committee and the county government."

Mu Guoxing asked strangely: "Aren't you the manager of this cemetery?"

The old man laughed at himself: "There is no one to manage this cemetery for a long time. When it was first built, there were two people here to manage it regularly, but later I heard that in order to reduce the establishment of the county, these two people disappeared. Before Over the years, I saw that the place was ruined. The people nearby often drove cattle and sheep to graze, so I tidied up this place and came in to manage it myself. These people sacrificed for the country, we must not let them die There will be no peace in the end."

"Does your family allow you to do this? How do you solve your life problems?"

"I lost an arm on the battlefield, and my legs are still disabled. No one will marry me. It's good for me to live alone. I opened several wastelands outside the cemetery, and the grain harvested every year is enough. I ate alone. But last month, people from the town government here wanted to take back the land I opened up, saying that it was illegal to open up wasteland without permission, which violated the policy of closing mountains and cultivating forests."

Mu Guoxing understood that this old man was not the manager of the cemetery, and the wasteland he had opened for his own living would also be taken back. Isn't this just driving people away.Without a source of livelihood, it is natural that they can no longer live in this cemetery. It seems that this is a bad move that the local government department came up with in order to allow the railway to pass through this cemetery.

The old man took out a stack of manuscript paper from under his pillow and handed it to Mu Guoxing: "Secretary Mu, this is the reflection material I wrote. I am an ordinary person now, and it is not easy to meet a leader. I met you today. If you are dead, I will plead with you for my comrades-in-arms and give them a place to rest in peace."

Some of these materials were written to the local town committee and town government, and some were written to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Longshan County.Mu Guoxing is also very clear that such materials will not attract the attention of local government officials at all.Besides, the issue of the resort was involved again. Driven by interests, these officials would definitely not pay attention to such a martyr's cemetery. Originally, the martyr's cemetery was managed by the Civil Affairs Bureau. It's a matter of their words.

Mu Guoxing looked at his watch and said to Li Zhigang: "Comrade Li Zhigang, please rest assured that the party and the government will never forget these martyrs who died for the country. You can stay here with peace of mind. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee The government thanks you for everything you have done for these martyrs, and then I will order the local government to renovate the martyrs cemetery and solve all related treatment issues for you. You can also ask them if you have any requirements."

Li Zhigang held Mu Guoxing's hand tightly: "Thank you, Secretary Mu! Now my comrades-in-arms can finally stop being tormented!"

Shao Guoli saw that Mu Guoxing followed the one-armed tomb guard into the three broken houses. He was about to follow in when the door was closed with a bang. He was startled. It is clear that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee who was smiling and praising the railway construction was doing a good job just now, why did he suddenly change his face?

The newly appointed mayor, Yu Yuanjun, didn't understand the reason. The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Five minutes later, Shao Guoli couldn't bear it any longer, and asked Shao Weishi, secretary of the Longshan County Party Committee, "Comrade Weishi, is there anything else in your county that you haven't reported to the municipal Party committee?"

Shao Weishi, who was harboring ulterior motives, heard Shao Guoli's question and knew that the matter had been exposed. After thinking for a while, he said carefully, "Secretary Shao, I guess it might be the reason for the diversion of the railway, which made Secretary Mu unhappy."

"Diversion? What diversion?"

"Oh, the original railway passed one kilometer away from the northwest, so the front of the railway would pass through a resort. The county considered that the resort had just been built. If it were to be demolished, it would be too difficult on the one hand, and on the other hand On the one hand, it also involves the poor coordination of the relationship with the Southwest Power Grid, so we asked the construction party of the railway construction company to conduct additional surveys, and planned to slightly modify the address of the railway to pass through this martyr's cemetery."

Shao Guoli understood that this was the reason for Secretary Mu's anger. The people in Longshan County were indeed courageous enough. It's not bad that they decided on such a big matter without asking for instructions in advance!

"Why didn't your county party committee ask the municipal party committee for instructions? Don't you know the seriousness of this matter?"

Shao Weishi was also taken aback when he saw Shao Guoli's unusually serious expression, but he knew how powerful Shao Guoli was.The former mayor, who was silent on weekdays, made drastic adjustments to the leading groups of the counties since he became the secretary of the municipal party committee.He was supported by Xue You, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and everyone knew that it was Secretary Mu who promoted Xue You.

This is not over, now the province has issued another document, and a vigorous study and discussion on party building work has begun. The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Lu Nansheng, has resigned from all current positions to the central government. After the review, the local factions have been wiped out. At this time, anyone who dares not to obey Shao Guoli's words is fighting against the provincial party committee.

Seeing that Shao Weishi didn't speak, Shao Guoli's expression turned serious, and he asked, "What's wrong? Is your tongue out of order? Why didn't you answer my question?"

Shao Weishi stammered and said: "Secretary Shao, I am also responsible for this matter, but our starting point for doing this is also to develop the tourism industry in the county. The important thing is that it will not cause conflicts between our local area and the Southwest Power Grid. So we I don’t think it’s necessary to alarm the municipal party committee about such a small matter. Our county standing committee can make a decision. Please rest assured that after the cemetery is moved, we will choose a better place for these martyrs and build a new cemetery. "

Shao Guoli understood the meaning of Shao Weishi's words, saying that it was an excuse for the tourism industry, the main reason was that he didn't want to tear down the resort to be true, and this resort belongs to the Southwest Power Grid, so there must be some kind of interest in it .

Shao Guoli is also very clear that the Southwest Power Grid is a unit directly under the State Grid, and it is not affiliated with the local government. Coupled with the power supply power in their hands, the long-term formation of power tyrants makes these people defiant, let alone a small county party committee. The county government, even the Liqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, they may not necessarily pay attention to it.

"So that resort belongs to the Southwest Power Grid? I think the land area is not small. Who has approved their construction land?"

VIP Chapter [-] Three Instructions

Shao Wei pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "They seem to have not had time to go through the approval procedures for the construction land of this resort. They obtained it by renting, but the planning was approved by the relevant departments of our county."

Shao Guoli pointed to Shao Weishi's nose and reprimanded him: "You bastards, you are too courageous. The state has issued repeated orders to strictly control the construction of buildings and halls of government agencies, and it is not allowed to use rent in lieu of land collection. You don't know Is this country's law still knowingly breaking the law?"

It is extremely rare for a municipal party secretary to call the county party secretary a jerk. If Shao Guo hadn't been extremely aggressive, he wouldn't have said such unmannered words.Shao Weishi also felt that something was wrong at this time, and secretly hated Cheng Zhenliqi, the deputy general manager of the Southwest Power Grid who came to them, for deceiving them.

Cheng Zhenli once vowed to Shao Weishi that their Southwest Power Grid is directly under the unit and has a very large background in the capital. Not to mention the construction of such a resort, they can handle no matter how big it is.Cheng Zhenli told Shao Weishi that if the higher-ups questioned about this matter, Longshan County could just push the responsibility to them.

At the beginning of the construction of the railway, the Longshan County government issued a notice to the Southwest Power Grid that the resort they built would affect the construction of the railway, and it would be demolished within a time limit. Cheng Zhenli came to Longshan County again.Under the auspices of the county government, Southwest Power Grid and China Railway Construction Company held a coordination meeting. At the meeting, Cheng Zhenli proposed that China Railway Construction Company change its original planned route and avoid the resort they built.

The railway construction party naturally disagreed, and Cheng Zhenli threatened that if he did not agree with their proposal, the normal electricity consumption of Longshan County and the railway construction could not be guaranteed, and he also called Lu Nansheng, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee on the spot. .

Lu Nansheng clearly told Shao Weishi on the phone that in the construction of the railway, try not to harm the interests of the brother units, and make a detour if you can, so as not to cause any more major disputes.

Under such circumstances, Longshan County had no choice but to agree to the conditions proposed by the Southwest Power Grid, and the Railway Construction was also forced to sign the minutes of the coordination meeting.However, Yi Qingjun, their project manager, signed a line on the meeting minutes: he will retain the right to appeal to the superiors, and the final solution will be decided by Ssangyong Group, the construction party of the railway.

Yi Qingjun also knew very well who built the railway. Who doesn't know the name of Ssangyong Group?When Director Zhong came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, he was accompanied by Executive Vice Governor Wu Xuelong.He also knew that this coordination meeting was just an intention, and Shuanglong Group would never agree to do so.The construction of this section of the railway is relatively difficult, and it will cost more than one billion yuan to make another bend.If Ssangyong Group can agree to such a plan, except that their background is not as big as that of China Southern Power Grid, the rest can only be explained by being kicked in the head by a donkey.

The minutes of the meeting clearly stated that Southwest Power Grid communicated with the railway construction party, and Cheng Zhenli also put on a look of certainty. Shao Weishi thought that the problem had been solved, so he put this matter behind him and did not continue. Went to ask.Later, seeing that the construction party sent people to re-survey the line, it was even more thought that the construction party had agreed to the requirements of the Southwest Power Grid.Unexpectedly, when Secretary Mu came down to inspect, he brought up this matter again.

Shao Weishi knew the strength of Secretary Mu. Now some cadres in Guangnan trembled when they heard Secretary Mu's name. They would never end well if they provoked Secretary Mu.

After listening to Shao Weishi's explanation, Shao Guoli felt that he hit Secretary Mu's gun this time. If Shao Weishi, as a county party secretary, did not understand Secretary Mu's strength, it is understandable, but as a municipal party secretary, he knew Secretary Mu very well. awesome.

Not to mention a small Southwest Power Grid, their boss is at best a cadre at the department level, so what if he is a cadre at the deputy ministerial level?Didn't Secretary Mu say that he will be punished if he is punished?

The stupid things done by the stupid officials in Longshan County may involve him, Shao Guoli. If Secretary Mu is not satisfied with the handling of this matter, he has finally been promoted from the position of mayor to the current municipal party committee. The secretary will be taken down soon.More importantly, all his hopes of approaching Secretary Mu through Xue You's line fell through.

Just as Shao Weishi wanted to explain further, when the door slammed, Mu Guoxing came out with a livid face.Looking at the large group of anxious officials in front of him, suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to Shao Guoli: "Comrade Guoli, this matter will be handled by your municipal party committee. On behalf of the provincial party committee, I would like to raise three points for you." The first requirement is that the diversion of the railway must obtain the consent of the construction party, and the government must not interfere. Second, the problem of illegal occupation of cultivated land by resorts must be thoroughly investigated and dealt with in strict accordance with relevant national regulations. Third, strengthen the supervision of all The management of the martyrs' cemetery is too heavy, and the damaged areas must be repaired in time. Each martyr's cemetery must be equipped with management personnel and included in the establishment of public institutions."

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, he handed over the materials in his hand to Shao Guoli, turned around and said to Xue You, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee who was following behind him: "Secretary-General, please follow up on this matter."

After saying this, Mu Guoxing ignored the others, and walked out of the cemetery in big strides.

Everyone heard clearly what the secretary of the provincial party committee said just now. Shao Guoli gave Shao Weishi a hard look, turned around and followed Mu Guoxing with strides.
