Shangdu was extremely stuffy and cloudy yesterday evening, as if it was raining rain, but the rain did not fall. By late at night, the clouds scattered and the moon appeared. Chen Li and Zheng Bingyang sat on the floor of the hotel room and looked at the stars for a long time, but no one expected that it would rain heavily yesterday, which eventually caused a vicious accident such as the dam collapse of the Jiuzhou Mining Tailings Depot.

Today, Qingquan is drizzling. Compared to yesterday's in Shangdu, the weather is much cooler than the stuffy weather in Luocheng. However, the people sitting in the tea room in the backyard of Chen's house did not feel any chill in their hearts.

Although Jiuzhou Mining has made such a big leak in Tayuan County, although it has nothing directly to do with Xinchaorui, who knows how many people this catastrophic and vicious production accident will eventually affect, and what kind of shock will the officialdom in Qingquan City and Zhongyuan Province cause?

Han Zirui, Zheng Wenyu, Han Ziwei and others rushed to Qingquan and could not go to the scene of the accident. At this time, hotels of all sizes of Qingquan were already crowded with media reporters from all over the world. They could not stay in hotels, for fear that the reporters with sensitive sense of smell would notice their identity and trigger unnecessary associations. At this time, they could only follow Zheng Suxin and Lu Chuan to learn from Chen Li to wait for new news.

Zhang Haoran couldn't get rid of his body at this time, but Chen Li could contact Zhao Shunnian at any time. In addition, Zhang Haoran seconded the engineering team from Xinchaorui to participate in the rescue site in the accident in the early morning, so Chen Li could grasp the progress of the rescue at the accident site at any time.

After a day, the working group sent by the city has registered and contacted residents of the affected villages, migrant workers and relatives. At present, five people have not been contacted and are temporarily included in the number of missing persons for statistics.

In terms of the number of victims, there will be no large-scale increase in the future, but what can this happen?

The number of victims is currently determined to be 197. This is not only the biggest disaster since the founding of the Central Plains Province, but even if it is put into the whole country, such serious and vicious mining disasters have not happened several times since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After receiving a notice from the province, the State Council directly sent the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of production safety and brought officials from the State Administration of Safety to the scene to command the rescue.

Of course, what Zheng Wenyu and Han Zirui are more concerned about is the issue of accident characterization.

Jiuzhou Steel was a bridge between Zheng Cong. It was introduced to Zhongyuan Province as a key investment attraction project. It was a big book in the national media that built the largest steel production base in the central region in Shangdu. The main additional condition for Jiuzhou Steel to use Zhongyuan Province as a key industrial layout center was to acquire Tayuan Iron Mine and Tayuan County two coal mines with an annual output of 3 million tons of coal. At that time, Qingquan City was always reluctant, but it was also caused by Zheng Cong.

Moreover, these are the main political achievements of Zheng Cong since he was in charge of the Central Plains Provincial Government. They have been very popular in the media. Today, such a vicious accident occurs. If you don’t care about the infighting in the officialdom, the media will also dig out all these.

So in this vicious mine accident, how heavy is the responsibility that Jiuzhou Mining bears, how deeply Zheng Cong will be involved, and it is even very likely that his political career will be interrupted in advance.

Currently, Zheng and Han families have two more important positions in the army. Currently, Zheng Cong is the mainstay in politics. Although Zheng Wenyuan's father was also promoted to the vice-provincial and ministerial level, it is far from comparable to Zheng Cong, who is about to serve as a senior official and has served as a member of the Central Committee for a term and a half.

"There was several hours of heavy rain in Qingquan yesterday. To be more precise, the disaster weather caused the dam to collapse..." Han Zirui said in a very uncertain tone, thinking about bringing everyone's ideas to see if there is any place to take advantage of the issue in this regard.

Chen Li sat there without saying a word. Han Zirui did not understand the situation at the scene, but Han Zirui just walked out and answered a phone call and said that after coming back. He guessed that a core figure should have arrived in Qingquan at Jiuzhou Steel Headquarters. Han Zirui should have been on the phone with Jiuzhou Steel people just now.

Chen Li glanced at Han Ziwei and Zheng Wenyu. They were a little eager to try, but Zheng Suxin and Lu Chuanxue sat there frowned and silently. Although the rain in Qingquan city last night was quite heavy, there was no heavy rain in Tayuan County. These were all meteorological records, and it was unconvincing to divert the responsibility of the accident to the disaster weather.

In addition, although the rescue continues, the causes of the mine disaster are not complicated. The tailings pond of the original Tayuan Iron Mine was built in the 1970s. The tailings residues that had been deposited for 30 to 40 years have already reached the designed capacity. They should have been closed in 2004 and 2005. However, after Jiuzhou Mining acquired Tayuan Iron Mine, in order to save costs, it not only continued to exceed the deadline, but also illegally discharged the well washing water into the tailings pond for precipitation and seeped into the ground. At present, it is more reliable speculation that it is the illegal discharge of large-scale well washing water. The dam formed by silt accumulation mainly, and the warehouse dam formed by excessive sediment accumulation, and finally the warehouse dam cannot withstand the extreme pressure and collapses. The heavy rain yesterday was only a relatively secondary factor.

In the whole thing, not only will Zhang Haoran be directly involved, but Zheng Cong completely lost power in the relationship between Xinchaorui and the Zheng family at this time, which also harmed more than good for Xinchaorui. However, thinking that nearly 200 people were killed and so many families were broken, Chen Li could not have the intention to help cut off the responsibility.

"Wang Jiang has always had some prejudice against our family, and I'm afraid it's not that easy to deal with it, right?" Zheng Wenyu looked at Zheng Suxin and Lu Chuanxue with uncertainty.

Currently, Vice Premier Wang Jiang represents the State Council to command the rescue work, and Wang Jiang is in charge of production safety work. The characterization of this mine accident will be attended by experts and officials from Central Plains Province and Qingquan City, but it will inevitably be based on the opinions of the expert group of the State Administration for Safety Supervision, so Vice Premier Wang Jiang is the most critical figure.

Although his father Zheng Cong is now with Vice Premier Wang Jiang, they are surrounded by local and State Council staff, so they have no chance to talk privately. At this time, only the second aunt Zheng Suxin and Lu Chuanxue have the opportunity to meet Wang Jiang privately, and things may still be possible.

Lu Chuanxue hesitated for a long time, but finally took out his cell phone and walked to the tea room to pull out the phone.

Chen Li and the others sat in the tea room. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, they saw Lu Chuanxue talking on the phone with them on the back. They couldn't hear what he was talking on the phone with Vice Premier Wang Jiang, nor could they see him on the phone. After a while, they saw Lu Chuanxue closing his cell phone and walking back to the tea room. Seeing him shook his head slightly at Zheng Suxin, saying that the road was not working.

"Let's go back to Shangdu. We can't help here, so don't cause trouble anymore." Zheng Suxin said dejectedly.

Lu Chuanxue and Wang Jiang still have some personal relationships. Even if Wang Jiang refuses the request for a private meeting at this time, it means that external factors have hardly affected the characterization of this vicious mine accident. In the future, Zheng Cong had to accompany Deputy Prime Minister Wang Jiang and officials of the State Administration of Safety and Safety, but also had to deploy major safety inspections in the province, and there might not be a chance to escape. It is difficult for them to help them stay here. It is better to go back to business first.

Although Shen Jianping and Chen Tong and his wife took a leave from the hospital today to stay at home to entertain everyone, and at this time, they also invited the chef of Qingquan Hotel to come and help cook a sumptuous meal, Lu Chuanxue, Zheng Suxin, Zheng Wenyu, Han Ziwei, and Han Zirui were not intent on eating anything. They just had dinner and didn't drink. They even took a bus back to Shangdu at night.

Zheng Wenyuan and Xu Yuanzhou stayed, drank tea and chatted until almost ten o'clock in the night, Zhao Shunian got out and rushed over, and showed Chen Li and the others some photos of the accident scene.

The tailings pond is located at a high terrain, one or two hundred meters higher than the downstream, and it is quite old. The place is also careless. Not only is the Kuba dam disrepaired for years, but the ditch and beach areas in the downstream were originally only for farming, but in the 1970s and 1980s, people moved one after another. When the mine accident occurred, the low silt land of the river beach and the abandoned river channels had been filled, and a large number of houses were built. After the Kuba collapsed, large tailings sand slag mixed with mud and water formed a mudslide flow, which was a drop of 1 or 200 meters. The disaster area was as long as two kilometers, and more than 300 houses were destroyed. The deepest part of the mudslide silt was more than 20 meters...

Zhao Shunian rushed over at this time and only told Chen Li and the others about some more specific situations on the scene, and Zhang Haoran was completely unable to escape at this time.

Vice Premier Wang Jiang and Governor Zheng Cong remained in Qingquan and did not leave. Zhang Weiren and Zhang Haoran, in addition to dealing with Wang Jiang, Zheng Cong and others, also had to hold a meeting overnight to summarize experiences and lessons and deploy a city-wide safety inspection, which made him even more inseparable.

Although doing some jobs at this time can only be considered as a repair to the failure, doing them is better than not doing them.

At present, thousands of coal mines in Qingquan City have been transferring mineral use rights in recent years, especially small and medium-sized coal mines. There are frequent production safety accidents, and the number of deaths in coal mine accidents has remained high for many years.

In addition, although this accident investigation is subject to the experts and officials of the State Administration of Safety Supervision, the city always has to come up with a handling opinion first. In addition to taking criminal measures by the direct person in charge of Jiuzhou Mining, the Tayuan County team will also take all the first steps. However, what kind of vibration and impact will be affected by Qingquan City and Zhongyuan Province in the future are not what they can predict now.

Zhao Shunian told Chen Li and the others about the more specific situation, and then took a bus to the reception desk of the municipal party committee. Tonight, too many people were destined to be sleepless.

After seeing these photos at the accident scene, Chen Li was speechless and called Luo Yiheng. He knew that Luo Rongmin was still waiting for further news in the study at this time, so he asked the staff to export the photos from the digital camera and pass them to Luo Rongmin's email.

"I went to Haoran on the phone and told him not to have any psychological burden. The city should first summarize the lessons of blood and tears, and eliminate more potential hazards of vicious accidents. The most important thing is to eliminate more vicious accidents..." Luo Rongmin's voice on the phone was also very heavy. He also used Zhang Haoran several times to learn about the situation all day long, but such a vicious mine accident had already happened. Even if Zhang Haoran was implicated, he had to face it.

"The disaster is quite serious. Jiuzhou Steel and Jiuzhou Mining should start the compensation process as quickly as possible - but I want to find Kong Wenzheng and the others to let the Qingquan Chamber of Commerce donate part of the money first. I wonder if it is appropriate?" Chen Li asked on the phone.

Xinchaorui and Zhang Haoran have a sensitive relationship. If Xinchaorui comes directly to donate money, it will be bad for the media to cause unnecessary associations. Chen Li wanted to find Kong Wenzheng and others to donate a sum in the name of the Qingquan Chamber of Commerce. In this way, no matter how the external media reported it or how the above deals with it, Qingquan will always be a little more stable.
