First Secretary of Rebirth

Chapter 116 Ethnic Issues

Annan City, Ningbei Province is located in the south of Ningbei Province, and it is an area where many ethnic groups live together.

However, because the Han nationality accounts for the largest proportion of residents, Annan is an ordinary prefecture-level city, not an autonomous region for ethnic minorities.But no matter how many Han people there are, according to our country's minority policy, brothers from ethnic minorities other than the Han can still enjoy many preferential policies.

Therefore, this time the conflict was not stopped in time, which became the reason for the former mayor of Annan City to step down.

In any case, harmony and stability is the basic national policy today. If stability cannot be achieved, people will be replaced.

Thus, He Chaoyang was pushed out of the shelves.

"Do you think Lao Liang doesn't like me?" He Chaoyang complained to Ling Wei on the phone, and he didn't blame him for disrespecting Prime Minister Liang. It's really that the place he wants to go is very different from Ningbei!He had been thinking about going back to Nanping to take his wife, who knew that Liang Tianzheng would throw him to Ningbei in a blink of an eye.

"Did you offend him?" Ling Wei listened to his complaint, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Prime Minister Liang made a big move after he came to power, and now officials all over the country are trembling, for fear that Premier Liang's first fire will burn themselves on the head.He Chaoyang's trip to Ningbei was just a small trial for the faction bosses, not a big move.

"No," He Chaoyang recalled, "I haven't done anything eye-catching recently!"

You have nothing to do, people can keep an eye on you?Ling Weicai didn't believe it.

"Daughter-in-law, I've gotten angry from eating mutton recently, and my mouth is blistering." Facing Ling Wei, He Chaoyang acted like a spoiled child, without any regard for his status as acting mayor.

"Eat more fruits and vegetables."

"I can't take care of it." When I first came to Annan, I was as busy as a dog, because it was the Han people and the minority brothers who started the dispute. It is easy to calm the situation, but it is even more difficult to completely eliminate the knot.

"I'll tell Xiao Tan to pay more attention." Ling Wei's work is easier than He Chaoyang's.The second-phase project of Yingzhou Port is coming to an end, the expressway network is operating efficiently, and Yingzhou's economy has begun to show vitality.The development of Yingzhou is like a child who has gathered his hard work. He watched it take shape and was born. When Yingzhou's economy takes off completely, he can let it go with peace of mind.

Ling Wei originally thought that he would be able to go to the capital to reunite with He Chaoyang after a while, but he didn't expect Premier Liang to make a mistake and get He Chaoyang to Ningbei.

"Daughter-in-law, when are you coming to accompany me?"

"I have time, do you?"

"You misunderstood me." He Chaoyang smiled and said, "Is the matter in Yingzhou coming soon? Are you considering Ningbei to develop?"

Ling Wei was taken aback by his thoughts. It would be a good thing if they could work together, but after another thought, He Chaoyang had just arrived in Annan, and the code on his head hadn't been removed yet, so he wasn't suitable in the past.

"Secretary Ma has done a good job. I'm going to let you know what's going on."

"Just say whether you want it or not." He Chaoyang said shamelessly.

Ling Wei was a little embarrassed, he naturally thought about it.Since He Chaoyang returned to Beijing, the two of them always get together less and leave more. It would be an absolute lie to say that time and space have no effect on their relationship. The two of them can get to this point only with their superhuman perseverance and sense of responsibility.

"Do things down-to-earth first, there will always be opportunities." Ling Wei gritted his teeth and said words of comfort.

"Okay, I'll work hard." He Chaoyang's eyes flashed a flash of determination, no matter what, Ling Wei must be transferred to Ningbei this time, and he has had enough of living apart.

Before talking to Ling on the phone, He Chaoyang was full of energy again.

Annan's background is weak, his foundation is weak, and there are ethnic conflicts that need to be resolved urgently. He can't deny that Mayor He Dai has been busy these days. Except for normal work in the office, he spends the rest of his time down there doing research.

The more I researched, the more frightened I became. There was a lack of water and electricity, the roads were in disrepair for a long time, and the whole city didn't even have a decent pillar industry.What made He Zhaoyang even more troublesome was that Annan's folk customs were extremely tough due to the harsh natural environment. The previous gang fight incident was a general outbreak of many conflicts.

It is said that ethnic work is not easy to do, but Annan's original leadership team was too dereliction of duty.

If they hadn't kept on covering it, they wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.

Ethnic issues are better to be blocked than to be sparse. We cannot always suppress the emotions of the people. We must listen to them in a timely manner and understand their true thoughts.

But that's easier said than done. In the past few days, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Liu Congjian, He Chaoyang has been doing mass work non-stop in the counties and cities where conflicts occurred.

This large-scale group fight incident is the worst incident in Ningbei in recent years. It is a bit funny to say the cause. A Han man went to a Qing supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes. The cigarettes were a little damp. He was dissatisfied and cursed yelled a few words.

As a result, the owner of the supermarket quit, and the two got into a fight. Because the supermarket was run by people from the Qing people, some helpers came over immediately, and the people from the Qing people beat up the Han man.The one who was beaten felt aggrieved, and called people to take revenge again. This is a one-on-one, the hatred value is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people participating is also increasing.

In the end, it has gathered tens of thousands of people, and it is uncontrollable.

"Mayor He, please drink some water." Liu Congjian opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to He Chaoyang. "Now there are armed police patrolling Majia Town and Xiaoyangshu Town. I don't think there will be any problems."

He Zhaoyang opened the water bottle and gulped a few mouthfuls.He had just come out of the old family home of the Qing people, and the attitude there was very tough, insisting that the government hand over the man who led the fight from the Han people.

Why hand it over?Is it impossible to use lynching?

"Mayor He, are we going to meet the demands of the elders of the Ma clan?" Secretary Liu of Xiaoyangshu Town asked tentatively.

"Satisfied with what?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his displeasure, Secretary Liu dared not speak.

"Mayor He, let's get in the car first." Liu Congjian glared at Secretary Liu and changed the subject.

Although the conversation with the elders of the Qing clan just now was very peaceful, it was not speculative.The Qing people insisted on asking the Han people to make a public apology, and even asked the government to severely punish the man who started the fight.

But this matter, in the final analysis, cannot be blamed on one party. According to He Chaoyang's thinking, it is definitely a matter of [-] big boards each.

"How did you handle this before?" He Chaoyang asked Secretary Liu after getting into the car.

"In the past..." Secretary Liu looked at his expression carefully, and said, "Usually we bowed our heads first." Nowadays, harmony is demanded, and when conflicts arise between the Han and ethnic minorities, it is usually the Han who make concessions.

After hearing what he said, He Zhaoyang was speechless.

Secretary Liu turned his attention to Liu Congjian, but he saw that Deputy Mayor Liu ignored him.Liu Congjian, who had just been promoted to deputy mayor before Mayor He's arrival, seemed to be firmly on Mayor He's side.Liu Congjian stood up in the team so quickly, which was really beyond the expectations of many people.

But what the city leaders were thinking was something that he, a small secretary of the town committee, could not understand. Secretary Liu stole another glance at He Chaoyang, and obediently shut his mouth.

After He Chaoyang came back, he immediately went to the office of Ma Yuehong, secretary of the Annan Municipal Party Committee.

"The mayor is here?" Ma Yuehong came out from behind the desk, smiled and asked He Chaoyang to sit down. "Seeing you busy these days, how is it? Are you getting used to it?"

"Thank you secretary for your concern." He Chaoyang smiled, and after the secretary brought tea and left, he said, "I went to Majia Town today."

"Oh?" Ma Yuehong raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't that done yet?"

He Chaoyang shook his head, and said, "The clan elders in Majia Town asked us to hand over the Han people who made trouble, but I didn't agree."

Ma Yuehong was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "But if you don't hand it over, I'm afraid the mood of the Qing people..."

"What do you mean, secretary?" He Chaoyang smiled, but in Ma Yuehong's eyes, that smile seemed to have a hint of threat.

"What's the mayor's opinion on this matter?" Ma Yuehong took a breath and turned the question back to He Chaoyang.

I don't know what's going on, Ma Yuehong always feels great pressure facing this mayor who is ten years younger than himself.Perhaps it was because of Prime Minister Liang's appointment, Secretary Ma unconsciously backed down by three points as soon as the new mayor took office.

"I think this matter should return to its essence." He Chaoyang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Let's put aside the ethnic issue for now, and just talk about this matter itself. This is a typical incident of mobbing and fighting. The law has clear regulations on these things, and those who break the law will be handled by the law."

"But..." Ma Yuehong frowned, "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the Qing people, right?"

"Why is it difficult to explain?"

"If they fight again..."

"If there is another disturbance, we will deal with it according to the law." He Chaoyang smiled warmly, but his attitude was very tough, "Secretary Ma, the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. This is a country shared by 56 ethnic groups. If the Han nationality violates the law, the law of the country applies. Is it true that other people Does the law not apply if the ethnic group breaks the law? The government treats people equally when doing things, and it is disrespectful to distinguish between different ethnic groups before doing things.”

"Back to the truth, people to people, or citizens to citizens, things are not so complicated." He Zhaoyang glanced at Ma Yuehong, and continued: "When I go down this time, I can hear people praising Ma Yuehong everywhere. Secretary Ma’s voice, and I also heard that Secretary Ma is very prestigious among the Qing people, so I ask Secretary Ma to take care of this matter.”

"I..." Ma Yuehong couldn't resist being put on such a big hat.

In the end, He Chaoyang still refused to let him go, and moved Prime Minister Liang out again.Ma Yuehong put on a dull face, and listened to the Mayor He said with a smile: "The elders of the Qing clan need Secretary Ma to go out in person! You are of the same clan, so it is convenient to talk. This matter can't be delayed any longer. It must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, Prime Minister Liang will blame him, and I will have to go to Beijing with Secretary Ma to plead guilty."

This, this...Ma Yuehong lost his temper completely, did he tie him to a boat?

The result of the discussion was that the Qing people were dealt with by Secretary Ma, and the Han people were dealt with by He Chaoyang.

Legal affairs are left to the law. To show fairness, He Chaoyang, with Ma Yuehong under his arm, applied for the case to be heard in a different place.

The leaders of Ningbei Province decided after research and transferred the case to Yunning City, Ganxi Province, and entrusted the court of Yunning City to hear the case.

Yunning and Annan belong to different provinces and are not geographically adjacent. This time, the Qing and Han people lost their tempers.

Because of the tough attitude and effective measures, the turmoil caused by the group fight quickly subsided.But He Zhaoyang knew in his heart that the situation seemed to calm down on the surface, and it would take a long, long time to get used to it if he wanted to truly have no grievances.

But being able to do this step is already very good. The road needs to be taken step by step, and the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time. There is no rush.

"Cong Jian, is Director Mai in contact with you?" After returning to normal work order, He Chaoyang finally had time to care about the disaster prevention drill that he had been unable to let go.

"Yes." Liu Congjian sat across from him, and said with a smile, "Director Mac is doing a solid job. He often takes people to run around the countryside, and he even went to Majia Town last time."

"Oh?" He Zhaoyang felt a little strange when he heard the words. "Can those clan elders in Majia Town accept him?" He had learned how powerful those clan elders were these days, and he didn't expect that Director Mai, a native of Hong Kong City, would be able to get along there like a fish in water.

"Mr. McGuire is born to be a master of public relations." Liu Congjian laughed.

Strange to say, Majia Town is a town where the Qing people live together. There are a few respected clan elders in the town. People can't help but admire Director Mai's public relations level.

"I think Mr. McGuire and the mayor have the same thoughts."

"What's the same?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

"Respect each other's religious beliefs, but keep a peaceful mind." To put it bluntly, you believe in your god, and I worship my Buddha, but in essence, we still exist as a natural person.No one is higher than anyone else, and no one is lower than anyone else. Facing the world, we still have to follow the rules of the world.It cannot be said that if you believe in the true God, you can avoid disasters without wearing clothes, eating, and setting up tents.

God is so busy that he can't control it so leniently. People always want to make money to support themselves, and they also have to find ways to avoid disasters.Respecting beliefs and facing reality, perhaps this is the main reason why Mr. McGuire is recognized by everyone.

No one thinks there are too many ways to save one's life.

It's just that what He Chaoyang didn't expect was that no matter how much he talked about equality, no matter how much he talked about essence, trouble still came to him.
