Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 399 Shutdown
When Zheng Xianyong heard this, his face turned green.

What if the tigress can't find a male tiger and keeps calling for a month or two?

"Oh, how can this be done? Everyone can help me come up with ideas."

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads. Are you kidding me? That's a tiger, a mountain king, a mountain god. Is that something ordinary people can deal with?
"Uncle Zheng, if it doesn't work, let's stop work first. The safety of workers is paramount.

In addition, report it to the bureau quickly and listen to the bureau's opinions. We can't handle this matter. " Sheng Xiping sighed and finally gave an idea.

"Stop? No, we can't stop.

Originally, the work this year was slow and the production target could not be met. If the work is stopped again, wouldn't it mean that there will be no more work? "

As soon as Feng Baosheng heard that work was going to be suspended, he immediately exploded.

"If you don't stop working? Why don't you go to work if you don't stop working? The workers are almost scared to death. Who dares to risk their lives to work in the mountains? Go and ask, who dares?"

Zheng Xianyong was not happy either. Are you kidding me?Why is it that the life of a worker is not life?

"If you don't believe me, go out and shout loudly to see how many people dare to agree and go up the mountain?"

A few words stunned Feng Baosheng. His face turned red with anger, but he was helpless.

Yes, workers go to work to earn money, and they don’t sell their lives to forest farms. Who is so brave and dares to go up the mountain, knowing that there are tigers on the mountain?

"What should we do?" Feng Baosheng was as anxious as a headless fly, walking back and forth on the ground.

“I just said, call for people from the security department, go up the mountain and kill the tiger directly, and that’s it.

If this delay continues, this year's production plan will definitely not be completed. "

Zheng Xianyong rolled his eyes, "It goes without saying whether killing a tiger is illegal or not. Let's just say, do those people in the forest farm security department have that much ability?

Going up the mountain to hunt tigers?Just let them go up the mountain to feed the tigers. "

It's not that Zheng Xianyong looks down on the people in the security department, it's mainly that maintaining law and order and going into the mountains to track down and encircle them are two different things.

There are specialties in the art industry. No matter how good the shooting skills of those people in the security department are, they don’t know the secrets of hunting. How can they go into the mountains to hunt tigers?Isn't that just a joke?
"Don't we have talented people in our forest farm? Sheng Xiping, aren't you famous for being good at hunting?

The farm gives you guns and bullets. You can take your dog and go up the mountain to kill the tiger. "

Feng Baosheng suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned to him before that Sheng Xiping was a good hunter, so this matter must have fallen on him.

"Secretary Feng, you don't understand what siege is about.

Regardless of whether it is illegal to kill a tiger, let's just say that you lead a dog to kill the tiger. When the dog smells the tiger's scent, it is so frightened that it urinates.

Do you expect a dog?Isn't that nonsense?

The tiger thing is the most annoying thing. It's obviously very powerful, but it has to carry out a sneak attack. Just hit the cat anywhere, wait for you to get close, and pounce on you.

I don't dare to illuminate this thing, otherwise my life will be lost. "

"Besides, this tiger just came over and barked twice, and didn't bite anyone or any animal.

The horse was so frightened that it ran away and had its legs broken by the wood. It had nothing to do with the tiger.

Even if we report this matter to the higher authorities, we won't be able to defeat the tiger.

Secretary, please don't harm me. I have an old man and a young man, a wife and children, and I don't want to die. "

Sheng Xiping shook his head like a rattle and quickly refused.

That tiger was probably Huahua. He had raised it so hard, and then killed it?What kind of international joke are you kidding?
If the tiger was really Huahua, Sheng Xiping was sure that it would not hurt people or animals. It was probably just passing by, and might wander off somewhere else in a few days.

"What should we do? Now that there are tigers in the logging area, why don't we stop doing this work this year?" Feng Baosheng was anxious and angry, and his eyes were red.

"So I said we should stop work first and report it to our superiors. Let's see what the superiors mean."

Sheng Xiping shrugged his shoulders. He liked to fail to complete the production tasks. Anyway, he was not the one who was criticized. He was meddling in those nosy matters.

Everyone discussed for a long time, but no result was reached. In the end, they had no choice but to temporarily stop work, then report to the bureau and the province, and follow the instructions of their superiors.

But as Sheng Xiping said, the tiger didn't hurt anyone, and it didn't kill any animals. When the matter was reported to the higher authorities, the higher authorities couldn't provide a solution.

Siberian tigers are protected, and tiger hunting is absolutely not allowed under extremely special circumstances. This is not the case at the Qianchuan Forestry Farm.

After the provincial government held a meeting to study the situation, they gave instructions to the Qianchuan Forestry Farm to find ways to drive away the tigers, but they were not allowed to injure or kill them.

This was a report and a meeting to study. It was four or five days before the provincial government issued instructions.

Feng Baosheng had been waiting for this instruction for so long that he almost spit out blood.

It's useless no matter how angry you are, the superior leaders have given instructions and you have to follow them.

So Feng Baosheng and Zheng Xianyong called Sheng Xiping over again and asked Sheng Xiping if there was any way to drive the tiger away so that the work team could start work normally.

"Leader, I'm not sure about this either." Sheng Xiping scratched his head.

"How about we try using cannons? Go down the mountain and get some kickers or something. When the work team goes into the mountains to work, they first set off a circle of firecrackers around the forest.

All wild animals are afraid of the smell of gunpowder, so it may be useful. "

If you don't want to stop work and can't hurt the tiger, you can only use this method. Sheng Xiping has no other options.

When Feng Baosheng heard this, his eyes lit up. Yes, wild animals are afraid of the smell of gunpowder. When the cannon clanged, any wild animal would jump in fright.

"Quick, hurry up and get people to dig out the firecrackers. Don't worry about what kind of firecrackers they are. Pull back as many as you can."

In this way, the people in the field were quickly sent away, and they went to Songjiang River and Donggang to row a lot of firecrackers.

This time, everyone seemed to be confident. Before starting work in the morning, they first arranged for people to go up the mountain and set off a circle of firecrackers around the cutting area.

That guy is so excited that it’s time for the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention, after setting off the firecrackers and starting work again, there was really no sound.

Everyone's worries gradually relaxed, and they all said that the tiger might have wandered elsewhere.

As a result, after three days of peaceful work, at dusk of the fourth day, tigers were heard again on the outskirts of the cutting area on the Sixth Work Team.

Fortunately, the sledges and sledges were empty this time. Even so, the oxen and horses were frightened and ran around, kicking and injuring one of the workers driving the sledges.

Okay, now we don’t have to work anymore, let’s stop working.

So the next day was a break, and the field leaders gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

I don’t know who suggested it. If that doesn’t work, we should first remove the harness from the cows and horses.

When the tiger comes, the animals will be most affected. Once the animals are frightened, who knows what accidents might happen.

Why not withdraw and reorganize the six work teams into three work teams? Then the machines will not be afraid of tigers, right?
"No, no, our work progress this year has been a lot slower. If we remove the trap again, won't we be unable to work anymore?"

Feng Baosheng disagreed and felt that this arrangement was unreasonable.

Six work teams have been reorganized into three. Everything else is easy to talk about, but what about the work captain?

He worked hard to promote three people to work captains. If they were withdrawn, would they still be able to work for him in the future?

Feng Baosheng firmly disagreed, and everyone argued for a long time to no avail. In the end, Zheng Xianyong came out to talk to Xini.

"Well, it's almost seven o'clock, and we haven't eaten yet. We're hungry and can't think of any good ideas.

How about this? Let's go to the cafeteria first, have some food, and then we can discuss it slowly. "

In this way, the group left the temporary dispatch room and went to the canteen to eat.

At this point, the workers had already finished their meal. Some had gone back to their dormitories to rest, while others gathered in the canteen to chat.

“Most of us, our parents came to Guandong after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Not to mention us, even our parents have never seen the Laomu gang working in Changbai Mountain before.

I heard my wife say that in the past, before those wood gangs went to the mountains to cut trees in winter, they had to hold a mountain opening ceremony to worship the mountain gods.

Pig heads must be placed as offerings, incense must be burned and prayers must be made, and chicken blood and wine must be drunk. All members of the wood gang must sincerely kneel down to worship the mountain god and make an oath together before they can start felling the first tree.

If the first tree is felled well, with no coffins or hangers, it means that the season will go smoothly and there will be no accidents. "

Sheng Xiping was surrounded by a group of people and was talking to them.

"Really? Never heard of it?" The people around him looked in disbelief. "Isn't this superstitious?"

"It depends on whether you are superstitious or not." Sheng Xiping shook his head.

“As a human being, you must know how to be grateful.

We people in the Changbai Mountains have relied on the mountains for generations, cutting wood from the mountains and selling it for money every year.

It is Changbai Mountain that feeds the people in our mountains. Shouldn’t we be grateful to Changbai Mountain? "

“In addition, the older generations have left us so many experiences and lessons in cutting down trees.

They have blessed us with safe production and fewer safety accidents for generations to come. Shouldn’t we be grateful to our ancestors? "

Sheng Xiping looked around and asked.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly changed, and everyone around him became silent.

No one was laughing and joking anymore, and the look on everyone's face became serious.

"We should, indeed should be grateful to this land of mountains and forests, and to our ancestors."

At this time, Zheng Xianyong's voice came from the door of the cafeteria.

"Hey, secretary, director, we were just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

Everyone looked back at the door and were shocked.

Good guy, when did these leaders come in?Wang Jianshe was smart and quickly explained, fearing that others would misunderstand that they were here to promote old ideas and feudal superstition.

"No, no, I think what Comrade Sheng Xiping just said is very good.

We forestry people live in this mountain forest, so we should be in awe of this mountain forest and know how to be grateful, which is very good. "Zheng Xianyong waved his hand. It makes sense that some old rules can be passed down. This is not superstition.

"Secretary Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Baosheng didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't seem to hear Zheng Xianyong's words.

The person next to him reached out and pulled off his sleeve, and Feng Baosheng finally came to his senses. "Yes, yes, what Director Zheng said makes sense."

The leaders are here for dinner, so why are the others still here talking nonsense?With a look from Sheng Xiping, the friends around him immediately stood up.

"Secretary, director, you should eat quickly. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest first."

A group of people quickly slipped out and went back to the dormitory to continue chatting.

"Secretary Feng, don't mind it. These workers are quite bored in the mountains. They have nothing to do after dinner in the evening, so they get together and talk nonsense. It's just a pastime.

It's a bit vulgar, but that's normal. "Zheng Xianyong looked at the backs of the young men and said with a smile.

"Old Zheng, you have been at Qianchuan Forest Farm for a long time and have experienced a lot. Tell me the truth. Did the mountain opening ceremony that Sheng Xiping mentioned just now really happen before?"

What Sheng Xiping said just now was echoing in Feng Baosheng's mind, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, what do you want me to say? Aren't we not allowed to pay attention to these things now? We are now talking about science."

Zheng Xianyong was stunned for a moment, his expression stiffened, and then he thought for a moment before responding.

After Feng Baosheng asked the question, he kept staring at Zheng Xianyong.

Seeing Zheng Xianyong's hesitation, he immediately understood that there must have been a mountain opening ceremony before. This was a rule left by the Laomu Gang.

It’s just that with the commotion in the past few years, many old rules were not allowed to be mentioned.

Feng Baosheng felt suddenly enlightened. Maybe this was the reason why the winter transportation production was so unsatisfactory this year.

Don’t they all say that tigers are mountain gods?Is it because everyone went to work in the mountains and did not worship the mountain god, so this happened?

The more Feng Baosheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

People, once an idea takes root in your heart, it is difficult to get rid of it.

Feng Baosheng hurriedly finished his meal and returned to the dormitory, and asked for the three work captains to find out what was going on with Sheng Xiping's junior wife.

One of the three work captains was the boss of the old Guo family, Guo Chunsheng.

This person's character is just like his mother's, and he is also a cunning, lazy and greedy master. When the wind blows, he will move his beard and slap the horse very smoothly, and he will hide back as soon as he gives way to his strength.

Just because he made mistakes at work and was dealt with by Zheng Xianyong, Guo Chunsheng was particularly dissatisfied with Zheng Xianyong.

After Feng Baosheng came to the forest farm, the Guo family took the initiative to stick to him and flatter him in various ways.

Feng Baosheng was worried that there was no one available. The old Guo family took the initiative to join in. It would definitely give him some benefits, so he promoted Guo Chunsheng to the captain of the work team.

The Guo family is the owner of the Qianchuan Forestry Farm, and Guo Chunsheng's father was one of the first people to come to Qianchuan. There is no person or thing related to the Qianchuan Forestry Farm that Guo Chunping doesn't know about.

Upon hearing Feng Baosheng's question, Guo Chunping immediately talked about Sheng Xiping and Liu Changde's family.

"Chunsheng, I have something to ask you.

Tomorrow morning, you can take a ride down the mountain, buy some things, and go to the Dajiang base to inquire with the Liu family about Lao Mu helping to open a mountain to worship the mountain god. "

After listening to Guo Chunsheng's words, Feng Baosheng became more determined in his thoughts.

So he arranged a task for Guo Chunsheng, took out 20 yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Guo Chunsheng.

"Hey, I got it. Secretary, don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle this matter." Guo Chunsheng took the money and put it in his pocket, and promised repeatedly.

The next morning, the workers did not dare to go up to work in the mountains, especially those who drove cattle, horses and sledges, and everyone shouted that they wanted to go on strike.

This thing is too dangerous. When the tiger barks, the cows and horses will run like crazy. If they drive the sledge, they will be trampled to death by the horses before the tiger can bite them.

No matter how hard Zheng Xianyong and Zhao Limin tried to persuade them, the twenty or thirty young men driving the sledges just refused to work.

They all said that they would rather go to the mountains and clear the forest than drive the sledge.

Now, Zheng Xianyong and the others were very worried. There was no one to drive the sledge. These cows and horses had to eat fodder on the mountain and needed people to take care of them. What should they do?
Coincidentally, while we were worried here, Liu Yujiang, the secretary of the alkali field brigade, led several team leaders up the mountain on a commuter bus.

It turned out that they had heard that there were tigers in the mountains, and the horses rented to the forest farm were injured. They were worried and planned to take the horses and cows back to avoid being eaten by the tigers.

It’s no good if there are no livestock in the farm yard. Even if the forestry farm pays compensation, it will take several years to raise a horse. Doesn’t that delay work?
So no matter what the forest farm said, Liu Yujiang and others were determined to take away the animals.

In the end, there was no choice but to agree. The forest farm could only agree to calculate the money according to the rental period, and the horse with a broken leg was also compensated a corresponding amount.

Then, they sent people to send back the animals and sledges from the large alkali farm.

"Let's go and discuss how to do this next step."

Zheng Xianyong couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Without the cattle, horses, sledges and plows to collect materials, he might not be able to work anymore.

Oops, I’m so sad. Everything is really not going well this year. Why do you just memorize it so little?

Several leaders in the field, together with production dispatchers and captains of each work team, were all called together for a meeting.

At the meeting, Zheng Xianyong once again proposed that the six work teams be organized into three, each with two skid tractors, and the people who originally drove the sledges were assigned to work in the work teams.

This way we have enough manpower, and if everything goes well, we should be able to achieve the production target.

Can Feng Baosheng agree?If three work teams are formed, the original work captain will definitely be used. Then what about the people he promotes?

So Feng Baosheng insisted that there were still six work teams, and those driving sledges originally belonged to which work team and were still working in which work team, and the status quo was maintained.

In this way, Feng Baosheng and Zheng Xianyong had a quarrel with red faces and no one would give in to the other.

When the others saw it, they quickly broke up the fight. It was all about work, and it was not worth it to quarrel like this.

The most important thing right now is to solve the tiger problem. As long as the tigers stop causing trouble, no matter whether it is three work teams or six work teams, as long as everyone keeps a tight grip, this year's production tasks can still be completed.

After everyone's persuasion, Zheng Xianyong and Feng Baosheng finally calmed down their anger.

"Okay, you are the secretary. You can do whatever you say, even six work teams. Let's start work as soon as possible tomorrow.

Still follow the previous method, set off some firecrackers when entering the mountain, then set off a few more after lunch, and also set off some firecrackers when coming down the mountain after finishing work in the afternoon.

This saves the mountain king from hiding behind a grass tree and being startled when he pops up unexpectedly. "

In the end, Zheng Xianyong gave in and no longer insisted on integrating the work teams, but maintained the status quo.

"Wait a minute, I don't think we'll start work tomorrow.

I think what Comrade Sheng Xiping said last night makes sense. Our start of construction this year will not go smoothly. It is possible that he has something to say.

I have asked Guo Chunsheng to go find Sheng Xiping's master and mistress. Waiting to find out more, let's go through the mountain opening ceremony and pay homage to the mountain god. "

Unexpectedly, Feng Baosheng shook his head at this time. He actually disagreed to start work tomorrow.

"What the hell?" Zheng Xianyong became anxious upon hearing this.

"Isn't this nonsense? It's been so many years. Since the establishment of Qianchuan Forestry Farm, there has never been any opening ceremony.

I’ve been here for so many years, isn’t it great?How can it be so particular?

Secretary Feng, let me tell you, this is no joke, we will be punished. "

Zheng Xianyong almost jumped up. Isn't this nonsense?A few years ago, this was a big mistake.

Even now, it's not possible. If people find out, Maekawa Forest Farm will probably be masturbated from top to bottom.

"It's just that I didn't pay attention to these things before. Over the years, I only knew how to ask from the mountains and didn't know how to be grateful in return. That's why there are so many things happening now."

Feng Baosheng was also anxious. The idea of ​​building a mountain to worship the mountain god had already taken root in his heart.

Nowadays, his mind is full of this, and no one can do anything about it.

"Anyway, I have decided. When Guo Chunsheng comes back later, we will find out what to do, and we will seize the time to prepare things. We will hold an opening ceremony on the mountain tomorrow.

I don’t believe it. We worship the mountain god, how can we not accept it? "Feng Baosheng slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"If anything happens, I'll take the responsibility. No matter what happens, as long as we can successfully complete this year's production tasks."

"Okay, this is what you said. I can't control it. If your superiors really hold you accountable in the future, you can take it upon yourself."

Zheng Xianyong was also anxious, angrily tossed his sleeves and left.

Zheng Xianyong left, leaving the others looking at each other, no one knew what to say.

This Secretary Feng is obviously messed up. He seeks medical treatment indiscriminately for emergencies and talks about the opening ceremony. Isn't that just nonsense?

But Director Zheng couldn't be persuaded. They talked softly and their words were in vain.

Okay, let's pull him down. Do whatever you want. Anyway, the superiors will investigate and you will be held accountable by officials, so what are you afraid of?

Just like that, everyone else also said goodbye and left, going back to the dormitory to rest.

Before noon, Guo Chunsheng returned to the mountain and murmured with Feng Baosheng and several others for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Baosheng arranged for people to go down the mountain again to prepare things.

The next day, December 15th, while we were having dinner in the morning, Feng Baosheng asked someone to go to the cafeteria to inform him that the six work teams would gather later and go up the mountain together to prepare for this year's founding ceremony.

"What the hell? Founding celebration? What is this?
We've been working in the mountains for a month and a half, why do we have a grand opening ceremony? "Everyone in the cafeteria was confused, not knowing which song this song was from.

There is a tiger in the mountain causing trouble every day, which is enough for people, so why should they go crazy?
And the opening ceremony?This year we didn’t even hold a swearing-in meeting or mobilization meeting for the Winter Games. Now we are holding a celebration. Isn’t this nonsense?

"Damn it, what is Secretary Feng doing?

Xiping, it couldn’t be the opening ceremony of worshiping the mountain god that you mentioned that night, right?

My God, how many years of old almanacs are there?Get it done now?Which god came up with this idea? "
