Chapter 263 Flood Rescue (III)

When they arrived at the top of the dam, many people were scrambling to say hello to Liu Siyu. Liu Siyu smiled and agreed one by one. The township cadres and farmers all showed admiration when they saw County Mayor Liu. If it weren't for County Mayor Liu, the Yangwan Reservoir would definitely not have been reinforced and repaired. In that case, the reservoir would have collapsed long ago. I don't know how many families in Yangwan dam wanted to destroy their families.

Accompanied by Shen Wanxin and Qin Chuping, Liu Siyu carefully inspected the embankment along the embankment. The quality of this reinforcement and maintenance is pretty good, and the entire embankment looks extremely solid. The only flaw is that the flood discharge channel is designed according to the flood water once in 50 years, and the flow rate is relatively small. Now the gate has been opened to the maximum, and several gate valves at the bottom of the dam have also been opened to the maximum. Under the huge pressure, the turbid water flow is shot out, which is quite spectacular.

Unfortunately, the reservoir's flood discharge capacity is maximized and it cannot offset the mountain torrents that are pouring down from the upstream. The water level of the reservoir is still rising slowly.

After seeing the reservoir, Lin Jingye and Peng Fenglin arrived with the temporary command post. Lin Jingye saw Liu Siyu sitting in the temporary command post safely, and he felt relieved. He just saw Liu Siyu's car driving like an arrow in the rain, and he felt very nervous, afraid that something would happen.

Seeing Lin Jingye and Peng Fenglin arrive, Liu Siyu immediately asked Shen Wanxin and Qin Chuping to come over. Several people held a short meeting. At the meeting, Liu Siyu asked the technicians of the Water Conservancy Bureau to discuss technical issues of flood control and rescue. According to the notice of the meteorological department, the rain will not pass until noon tomorrow. Everyone discussed that in order to ensure the safety of the reservoir, another temporary dam must be built on the embankment, and then a new flood discharge ditch is dug in the place near the mountain on the left. In this way, when the water level reaches the top of the dam, the flood discharge capacity can be increased.

A rescue plan was formulated. According to the division of labor, the emergency team was responsible for the newly opened flood discharge channel, and the technical staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau were responsible for technical guidance. The temporary dam was built with woven bags filled with soil on the embankment, which was the Yangwan Township Government.

After arranging these, Liu Siyu was still worried and decided to make the worst plan, so he called Shen Wanxin over and asked him to send someone to notify the downstream villagers and prepare for retreat.

The rain was slightly lighter throughout the afternoon, which made Liu Siyu and several other leaders relieved. After eating the lunch box brought by the township government, Chen Liang came over hurriedly and approached Liu Siyu's ear: "County Mayor Liu, Secretary Zhang's phone number."

Liu Siyu hurried back to the temporary command post and picked up the phone. Secretary Zhang's voice was a little hoarse. He first asked about the situation of Yangwan Reservoir. He heard Liu Siyu say that Yangwan Reservoir has not had a major danger yet. He felt a little relaxed. He said in a deep tone: "County Magistrate Liu, this morning, the Baigou Reservoir collapsed, and a huge water flow swept across the village below. Nearly a hundred houses were destroyed, and twelve people were missing. The economic losses caused were not counted yet. In addition, a small reservoir in Xishui Town was also washed away by mountain torrents, causing two people to disappear. Nearly twenty houses were destroyed, and the losses in the whole county were heavy."

Hearing Zhang Xiande's sigh, Liu Siyu didn't know what to say. Liu Siyu was not sure about these two reservoirs that had happened. But he knew that if he had not strongly advocated the reinforcement and maintenance of the Yangwan Reservoir and tried every means to obtain funds, the Yangwan Reservoir would have disappeared in this once-in-a-century flood. This Yangwan Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in the county. If it collapses, the losses caused will be absolutely incalculable.

Thinking of this, while he was lucky, he also sweated a lot in his vest.

"County Mayor Liu, after the Municipal Flood Control Command learned about the situation in our county, it has decided to send troops to participate in the flood control and rescue in our county. Now you are under heavy burden. I have asked a flood control and rescue team to support you. The experts from the city have followed. You must keep the Yangwan Reservoir no matter what, and there must be no more accidents in our county." Zhang Xiande said heavy.

Liu Siyu suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders heavy. He took a breath and said loudly: "Secretary Zhang, don't worry, I will guarantee that Yangwan Reservoir will survive this flood season."

After putting down the phone, Liu Siyu asked Chen Liang to call Lin Jingye, Peng Fengping, and Chen Chengxin, and Qin Chuping called over and informed the flood control situation in the whole county. The four of them couldn't help but take a breath when they heard that two reservoirs in the county had collapsed, causing casualties and a large amount of economic losses.

"Everyone, the situation is urgent and I won't say much. Our most important task now is to ensure that the Yangwan Reservoir is safe and sound. As we all know, if the Yangwan Reservoir cannot be defended, not only the entire Yangwan dam, but also for Baishu County, it will be a catastrophe. Therefore, we must concentrate all the manpower and material resources that can be concentrated, carry forward the spirit of hard work, fight against this flood that has not been encountered in a century, and achieve the final victory."

Afterwards, all the people present were mobilized, and many old men also came to help them get the soil and put them in the woven bag. The strong men carried the woven bags and ran to the dam... and the person responsible for digging the flood discharge channel on the other side also leveled a gap of nearly twenty meters, and floods had already overflowed in some places.

Fortunately, the rain on the mountain began to decrease and the water level no longer rose. In the evening, the city's support troops came, and there were two experts who came together. These two experts checked a piece along the temporary embankment on the embankment, and listened to the technicians of the county water conservancy bureau's introduction to the upstream situation. The two experts discussed and modified some flood control plans.

I couldn't sleep all night, but fortunately, the sky had eyes and the rain began to decrease. The water level of the reservoir did not rise again due to the increase in the discharge channel on the left. By noon the next day, the water volume in the upstream began to weaken, and the water level of the reservoir began to slowly drop. At dusk, it finally dropped to its original dam position. Liu Siyu and several others were slightly relieved.

On the third day, the dark clouds dissipated and the sky cleared. The mountain torrents in the upstream had begun to turn into a delicate stream. With the full force of the flood discharge channel and all gate valves, the water level dropped to a safe position.

It was not until this time that Yangwan Reservoir was considered to have won the victory and passed the crisis. The cadres and masses who had been holding on the embankment for several days and nights suddenly relaxed. Many people didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and fell asleep. Liu Siyu was no exception. He fell on Lao Wang's bed and fell asleep.

When Liu Siyu woke up, he heard someone talking outside the door, and came out wearing clothes. Chen Chengxin Qin Chuping and Lin Jingye, who were sitting outside talking. When he saw Liu Siyu, he greeted enthusiastically: "Miss Liu wake up?"

Liu Siyu smiled happily and said, "This sleep is so delicious. Have you guys not slept?"

Lin Jingye said with a smile: "We just got up shortly after we saw that you were sleeping soundly, so we didn't call you. By the way, the city's troops and the county's emergency team have all gone back. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, Lao Peng couldn't bear to wake you up, so they asked me to tell you."

"Minister Lin, you should wake me up. No matter how you say they are, they are here to help us. My master, it's time to send it to you." Liu Siyu said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Secretary Chen and Township Mayor Qin have expressed their gratitude to them on your behalf. They also know that you are exhausted and specifically asked us not to wake you up." Lin Jingye explained.

After lunch, Liu Siyu called Chen Wanxin and Qin Chuping over, explained some of the aftermath, and returned to the county with Lin Jingye.

On the way back, Liu Siyu got into Lin Jingye's car. The two of them talked about some things in the county. Before they knew it, they arrived at the county town. Before they got off the car, Liu Siyu proposed to ask Lin Jingye to make an appointment with Peng Fengping tonight. Everyone gathered together, and Lin Jingye agreed immediately.

After washing clothes at the residence, Liu Siyu came to Zhang Xiande's office and reported to him about the flood control and rescue situation of Yangwan Reservoir. He specifically mentioned the cadres such as Chen Wanxin and Qin Chuping of the Yangwan Township Government. He performed outstandingly in this flood control and rescue and deserved praise.

In the evening, Liu Siyu invited Lin Jingye and Peng Fengping to drink at Bixi Villa. The three of them were all military and had a common language. After a meal, the relationship between the three increased a lot.

Subsequently, Baishu County held a summary meeting on flood control and rescue. The heavy rainfall caused huge losses to Baishu County. More than 20 people were missing, nearly 200 houses were destroyed, and a large number of farmland was flooded, with direct losses of over 100 million yuan. For this matter, the Baishu County Party Committee was severely criticized by the Shannan Municipal Party Committee. So at the meeting, Zhang Xiande was furious. He first praised several good-working towns, and then severely criticized the leaders of Xishui Town and Baigou Township where the accident happened.

Lei Guanghan only returned from the coast yesterday. Although he was not in the county when there was a major flood this time, he contacted Xishui Town, and he did not prepare in advance, so he also had the responsibility. So when he heard Zhang Xiande's criticism, his face became a little unnatural.

Liu Siyu listened on the side, with no expression on his face, but his heart kept churning. Looking at Zhang Xiande's appearance, he knew that the city would definitely make some articles on this matter, but he didn't know which city committee's board would hit. And the county might also have some actions, should he make some plans?

Sure enough, two days later, someone suggested that the Party Secretary of Xishui Town and the Party Secretary of Baigou Township bear unshirkable responsibilities in the collapse of the reservoir and are no longer suitable to serve as secretary.

Zhang Xiande did not make a statement, but asked the Standing Committee members present to speak. The secretary of Xishui Town was promoted by County Mayor Lei Guanghan. At the meeting, he naturally made some self-criticism first, and then said that the comrade still made contributions to the economic development of Xishui Town. Although he had an unshirkable responsibility in this accident, the principle of our party is to cure diseases and save people. It is recommended that he give him another opportunity to make up for the losses caused in his work. As for the Party Secretary of Baigou Township, if such a big thing happened in Baigou Township, it is natural to remove his post, and no one has expressed any different opinions.

However, most of the Standing Committee members agreed to remove the position of secretary of Xishui Town. Lei Guanghan was unable to hear the stern part of the party committee of Xishui Town. In less than a year, the secretary of the party committee of Xishui Town was transferred to Baigou Township to be the chairman of the People's Congress.

As for the personnel issues later, Ye Qingshan, the mayor of Xishui Town, served as the party secretary of the town. However, when he proposed to take over the mayor of the town, Liu Siyu strongly recommended Jiang Mingqiang, deputy director of the government office. Zhang Xiande had a good impression of Liu Siyu during this period and wanted to win over Liu Siyu, so he nodded in support. In the end, Jiang Mingqiang was appointed as the mayor of Xishui Town.
