Chapter 2450 Shazhou Avenue South Extension Project

As soon as the Standing Committee meeting ended, Shao Hongli stood up, glared at Qin Feng coldly, and left the meeting room first.

Shortly after Qin Feng returned to the office, Chen Guohua hurriedly ran into Qin Feng's office.

"Mayor, there was an accident at the construction site of the Shazhou Avenue South Extension Project."

"What happened?" Qin Feng asked.

"The locals and the construction workers got into a fight. It was said that there was bloodshed and many people were sent to the hospital."

"What? Is anyone dead?" Qin Feng stood up in surprise.

"We haven't heard any reports of deaths yet. Deputy Mayor Wenbo has already rushed over." Chen Guohua said.

Ding Wenbo is the deputy mayor of Shazhou City, in charge of urban construction, transportation, and infrastructure construction. He holds great power and has a close relationship with Shao Hongli.

The accident occurred in the construction project of the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue, which is Ding Wenbo's area of ​​responsibility. Of course he had to go there when such a big thing happened.

"Where's the Public Security Bureau? Didn't anyone go there?"

"Fuchang District reported that the current situation has been brought under control, and people from the Fuchang Public Security Bureau have arrived at the scene, so the Municipal Public Security Bureau was not involved," Chen Guohua replied.

Hearing that the situation was under control, Qin Feng felt relieved. He lit a cigarette and took a big puff, asking, "How could such a situation happen on a good construction site?"

The South Extension of Shazhou Avenue is a key project in Shazhou City because it is the most important road connecting the urban area and Nanshan New District. It is also a landmark project for the southward shift of the central axis of the entire Shazhou City.

In other words, whether the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue can be opened to traffic on time will determine whether the construction of the entire Nanshan New District can be successful.

For the Shazhou Municipal Government, the Shazhou Avenue South Extension is the most important project at present.

"The specific situation is unclear, but I guess it's most likely because of the Liujia Village ancestral temple." Chen Guohua thought for a while and said.

"Tell me in detail." Qin Feng asked while smoking. He didn't know many things about Shazhou, but Chen Guohua was an expert on Shazhou. There was nothing he didn't know about the entire Shazhou.

"The southern extension of Shazhou Avenue passes through Liujia Village, and the so-called ancestral temple of Liujia Village is right on the planned route of the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue. So from the beginning, the project has been struggling over the demolition of the ancestral temple of Liujia Village, and there were many conflicts at the beginning."

"Later, the city and district organized personnel to negotiate with Liujia Village many times, but the progress was slow, and the project was shelved in this Liujia Village section. Now the entire Shazhou Avenue South Extension has entered the final stage except for the Liujia Village section."

"You also know the importance of the Shazhou Avenue South Extension. This kind of project will never be allowed to be delayed in opening to traffic, so there is a lot of pressure from all sides," Chen Guohua explained.

"Since we knew there was a temple here, why did we have to pass through here when we designed it? Even if we don't consider that this is someone's ancestral temple, purely from the perspective of protecting cultural relics, we shouldn't pass through here." Qin Feng was puzzled.

"Mayor, Liujia Village has a special terrain. If we don't go through Liujia Village, the project will be much more difficult and the cost will be much higher. In addition, the entire Shazhou Avenue South Extension is a straight north-south highway, which serves as a good central axis of the city."

"If the line is diverted here, it will not only affect the beauty of the entire city, but will also destroy the effect of the central axis. The feasibility of the diversion was considered at the beginning, but it was flatly rejected by Secretary Jiang." Chen Guohua continued.

A straight road suddenly turns here, which is naturally unacceptable to Jiang Longjun, who regards Nanshan New District as his greatest political achievement.

"And this is not a cultural relic at all, nor is it a real temple. It is the ancestral temple of the Liu family. In the south, it is called an ancestral hall. It houses the tablets of the so-called ancestors of the Liu family. I went there once with Mayor Yaqiu and saw it with my own eyes. It is not big and has no history. It was built more than ten years ago."

"But the people of Liujia Village insisted that this thing had been theirs for thousands of years, saying that their branch migrated here from the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty and built this ancestral temple here."

"But according to insiders, this village is indeed full of relatives, but there was no ancestral temple before. This so-called ancestral temple was built with funds raised more than ten years ago. The claim that it is a thousand years old is purely to extort money from the government."

"Some people even joked that even if you migrated here during the Ming Dynasty, it's not been thousands of years, as Zhu Yuanzhang only established the Ming Dynasty in 1368."

"But the people in Liujia Village would not listen. They refused to allow their ancestral temple to be demolished and their attitude was very tough," Chen Guohua continued.

"So what are their demands? In this case, the government can consider building a new ancestral temple for them, which can be bigger and better than the original one. This will not cost much. Sometimes the government must respect the customs and beliefs of the people."

“Mayor Yaqiu also proposed this plan back then, but they disagreed. They said that if they were to build it, they had to build it on the original site. This is the dragon vein of their Liu family and the place of revival. If the place is moved, it will ruin the feng shui of their family.” Chen Guohua shook his head.

Qin Feng frowned. If that was the case, this matter was indeed a bit troublesome, but Qin Feng still didn't think that this matter could not be solved. If it was a township that encountered such a problem and could not solve it, it would be understandable, but since it had already been brought to the city, what was this problem?

"It has been two or three years since the construction of the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue began, and this problem has never been solved?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

"Mayor, this question is a bit complicated. Liujia Village is a big village in the local area and it also has a big surname. There are more than 10,000 people with the same surname in the village, plus relatives who married out. The most important thing is that they are very united. It may really be related to the fact that their ancestors migrated from other places. If something happens, all the people will come, and they dare to fight. If it is not handled well, there will be big problems." Chen Guohua said hurriedly.

After hearing this, Qin Feng roughly understood. According to what Chen Guohua said, this is indeed a big problem. Who would dare to mess around in such a mass incident?

"In addition, the Liu family also has many prominent people, including small business owners and local cadres. They have social influence, so the government dare not use force." Chen Guohua further said.

"But this problem has been basically solved before." Chen Guohua changed the subject.

"Solved?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"Yes, at that time a special Standing Committee meeting was held to study and discuss this issue, and in the end Secretary Jiang specifically asked Shao Hongli to be responsible for solving this problem."

"Did Shao Hongli solve the problem?"
