Chapter 1065 Shocking

It's about ten o'clock at noon on the second day of the lunar month. Fan Xinxing came to Nandan County under the guidance of Xin Saner Xiao...fu of the autonomous region government.

Nandan is located in the northwest of Guangxi, with a total area of ​​nearly 4,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 200,000. The Southwest Sea Channel and the Guangxi Railway run through Nandan. Nandan is located between a famous tourist and cultural city and the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou. It is only across the river from the Zhangjiang National Key Scenic Area in Libo, Guizhou, and more than 70 kilometers away from the Longtan Hydropower Station, which is second only to the Three Gorges Hydropower Station on the Yangtze River. Due to the large area of ​​forest coverage and the influence of the ocean monsoon, the climate is cool and pleasant all year round.

The name of Nandan County first appeared in the Song Dynasty and Yuanfeng Dynasty. The local cinnabar, that is, cinnabar, was used as tribute to the court. And because it is located in the south, it was named Nandan. The northwest was the territory of Yelang Kingdom in ancient times.

Nature has endowed Nandan with numerous resources. Nandan is world-famous for its minerals. Its tin deposits rank among the highest in the country, and it is known as the Tin Capital of China.

There are many beautiful rivers in Nandan, such as Hongshui River, Qingshui River, and Nali River. Nandan’s Gongshui Travertine is full of majestic and dangerous scenery. The Yuanyang Bridge with arms intersecting across rivers, the Maling Divine Dragon Wall that was formed hundreds of millions of years ago, the underground river network of Lihu Lake in the Undersea Dragon Palace, the maze-like Encun Cave Group with connected mountains and connected caves, was established in the Ming Dynasty During the Zhengde period, the iron meteorites from outside the sky scattered across the Yaoshan Mountains were all seen in admiration.

Nandan's natural landscape is extremely beautiful, and its cultural landscape is also very charming. The thousand-year Tusi culture and six ancient camps fully demonstrate the historical origins of Nandan. It is also a place where many ethnic groups live together, including Zhuang, Han, Miao, Yao, etc. There are thirteen ethnic groups with colorful folk customs.

However, since the rampant illegal mining five years ago, Nandan's natural environment has also been severely damaged.

The Nandan Tin Mine is a big piece of meat. Whoever has the control, allocation and exploration rights of this piece of fat will be able to reap huge benefits.

The exploration rights of tin mines here have always belonged to the Yin family. After the 1980s, especially in recent years, under the slogan of large mines opening up, small mines opening small, and water flowing quickly, Nandan County The main leaders of the party and government, through Fuyuan Company directly under the leadership of the county government, used financial bribery and other means to clear the channel checkpoints, and actually seized the prospecting license for the No. 1 ore body from the mining team of the state-owned Huaxi Group.

As the saying goes, once you have the power, rent it and find it. Originally, prospecting and mining are two different things. Having prospecting rights does not mean having mining rights. However, the main leaders of the Nandan County party and government ignored relevant national laws and used their affiliated Fuyuan Company to explore instead of mine, illegally mining national minerals. resources, and after obtaining huge profits, they put them into the county government's small treasury and withdraw them at will.

Those private mine owners without prospecting licenses or mining licenses saw the government-affiliated Fuyuan Company making a lot of money after obtaining the prospecting license, and they all wanted to affiliate with Fuyuan Company.

so,

The Nandan County Party Committee Secretary, County Magistrate and others relied on their power to implicitly imply that Fuyuan Company would accept the affiliation of this or that private mine owner. Thus, a power-money transaction centered around rent-seeking and rent-seeking power by affiliated with Fuyuan Company for the purpose of hacking ore bodies. It unfolded in broad daylight in Nandan. Power seekers use power to seek benefits from private capital and eat the profits of power, while rent-seeking power seekers use private capital to share power and eat capital.

Run.

In order to be affiliated with Fuyuan Company, the private mine owners reported to Fuyuan Company many times without any success, so they asked someone to bribe the main leaders of the county. Sure enough, they received a notice not long after, asking them to go to the relevant county departments to successfully apply for affiliation with Fuyuan Company. procedures. So and so. County leaders have repeatedly received cash, bankbooks, commercial houses, computers and other property from Nandan private mine owners and non-local mine owners, with a total value of more than 10 million yuan.

Actually. There are many such shady transactions. Before the Nandan Mine Disaster, there were dozens of private mine owners who had been found guilty of paying bribes, and now more than 40 officials have been convicted of taking bribes. In addition to the leaders of Nandan County, the officials who accepted bribes also included officials from the Hechi Prefectural Committee, officials from the Autonomous Region's Department of Land and Resources, and leaders of the Autonomous Region's leading group for the rectification of factories and mines in Dachang.

It was this scene of black transactions that became the root cause of the Nandan mining disaster.

With the umbrella of protection, private mine owners are mining wildly and indiscriminately. In order to reduce production costs, they do not pay attention to safety at all. What's even worse is that in order to seize the mineral resources, they built water tanks under the mines. If you dig into my mine, I will flood you with water.

The indiscriminate mining and reckless behavior of private mine owners have left the Dachang Mining Area in Nandan, which was already full of addiction, riddled with holes. The local officials and the imperial ministers responsible for rectification and rectification no longer strictly supervise the mine production because of the black transactions with private mine owners. The regulatory departments are in name only and the supervisors are like puppets.

Time after time, the management and rectification of the mine production order has either gone through the motions, or ended in a dead end.

And every time after the governance and rectification, private mine owners became more justified and more blatant in their excessive mining and mining, and the cycle repeats. The hidden dangers of accidents are getting worse and worse, and disasters are becoming more and more frequent, which finally leads to the Nandan Mining Disaster.

After Fan Heng and others rushed to the mine, they found some migrant workers and asked them about the situation.

The person in charge of a migrant workers' team from Cangnan said that the situation underneath the Lajiapo mine where the accident occurred was very chaotic. It is not surprising at all that a huge water leakage accident occurs.

These people have been engaged in drilling work in the Nandan mining area for more than 20 years and are familiar with the conditions of almost every mine. They said that wanton mining in these illegal mines has laid many hidden dangers of accidents, and a big accident will happen sooner or later.

On that day, the Lajiapo Mine, which was located below the sea level, suddenly flooded the mine, and seventy or eighty migrant workers who were mining underground died. At that time, their team of migrant workers had more than 40 migrant workers, who were drilling in another nearby mine. Fortunately, the mine connected to the mine where the accident occurred was at a higher terrain, so they escaped.

Many people have worked in the Lajiapo Mine. They said that the Lajiapo Mine did not dig a ventilation shaft, but a one-eye well. The air in the mine was particularly turbid, with a humidity of 100% and an internal temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius. Most of the miners mined naked in the well. When they couldn't bear it, they jumped into the drainage ditch in the well to soak and take a rest.

Some people also said that after the major accident. Some mine owners in the Nandan mining area still blasted and mined against the wind. This caused the rocks in the adjacent mines to collapse, seriously affecting the rescue work.

After the relevant national investigation team entered Nandan County, it quickly stopped it, thus avoiding a new disaster.

During the investigation, they also met a boss from outside the province, who told them about his investment in Nandan. Two years ago, he was invited to participate in the investment promotion conference held by Guangxi in Hong Kong. He saw that investing in mining in Nandan County would have great prospects. So he invested in mining in Nandan that year.

After two years of hard work and an investment of more than 10,000 yuan, the mine was finally mined in October last year, but troubles also followed. Someone wanted to force his company to give up management rights and threatened him and related personnel with guns. With personal safety and interests threatened, their company invited 50 security guards from Nanning, but was immediately threatened with guns by dozens of gangsters led by the other party. Therefore, their company had to give up the investment, and the mine was worth about 50 million yuan at that time.

The boss said that because of the threat to his life, he had to buy a bulletproof vest at a high price. He wore it specifically in Nandan. In order to seek justice, he complained and reported to many parties, but to no avail.

According to the investigation of Fan Heng and his team, Nandan Dachang Town has extremely rich tin ore resources. The whole town is actually a mining city. All businesses and factories are related to tin ore. There are more than 300 mining and mineral processing enterprises in the town, including more than 100 private mines.

The quality of tin ore in Dachang Town is very good. The inferior ones can be sold for more than 800 yuan per ton, the better ones can be sold for several thousand yuan per ton, and the highest can be sold for more than 20,000 yuan. A larger private mine can produce more than 1,000 tons of ore a day, and the mine owner can become a millionaire with one hand.

Driven by huge profits, private mines are not banned. The sweat and life of miners have created the myths of multi-millionaires and billionaires.

"It can be said that the Nandan mine disaster is a typical example of power economy, reflecting the drawbacks of the dual-track parallel of power economy and market economy. When the power of government officials has not withdrawn from the economic field and the allocation of resources, it is inevitable that there will be power-seeking and rent-seeking activities, which will not only lead to major safety accidents, but also make the establishment of a market economy system difficult. "After checking some on-site data, Fan Heng said to his entourage with some emotion, "If we want to get rid of the shadow of the power economy and curb power rent-seeking and rent-seeking power, we must impose necessary restrictions and supervision on power."

"Vice Premier Fan is right. Our autonomous region government is planning to introduce major regulatory measures to vigorously rectify the mines in the autonomous region to prevent similar situations from happening again. "The leader of the autonomous region, Li Xuan, said.

Fan Wubing, who was standing aside, curled his lips. He obviously looked disapproving.

Fan Heng also saw his son's expression. However, he felt helpless about it. He knew that it was easier said than done. Moreover, the people in Guangxi have always been tough. Not to mention whether the local government can enforce the law impartially, even if the central government's policies can be implemented without compromise, the people may not buy it.

In addition, it is not far from the Sino-Vietnamese border. Many smuggled guns have flowed into the country at low prices, becoming a weapon for evil forces to oppress local people. It is indeed not easy to manage.

Besides, driven by huge interests, I am afraid that anyone with a little ability will not easily let go of this big piece of fat.
