The director of Shilipu Commune brought a group of people to inspect the disaster situation. In fact, he secretly had another mission.
That is: secretly observe and verify without revealing anything, does Luo Xuan, the educated youth who jumped in line in the Shilipu production team, have the ability to predict?
However, Luo Xuan is now missing and his life or death is uncertain.
We can only put this matter aside for now and talk about it later.
Leaders at all levels want to know the answer so much.
That's because the last time Professor Yan and others came to Zhimi County to inspect water conservancy projects, the Guanzhuang production team's plan to block the river to draw water was rejected by authoritative water conservancy experts!
But they affirmed the water conservancy construction method presided over by Luo Xuan in Shilipu.
This left a mystery in the minds of leaders at all levels in Shilipu Commune, Zhimi County, and even the entire Tuocheng area.
If you don't understand the reason, you will always feel sick in your heart, with thorns on your back, and it is very uncomfortable!
The water conservancy project of the Guanzhuang production team was rejected.
However, there has never been any precedent and there is no theoretical support for Luoxuan's construction method of using cofferdams to build fields and store irrigation water, but unexpectedly it has been recognized by Professor Yan and Professor Wen.
Therefore, this incident has left a big doubt in the minds of the leaders of relevant departments in Zhimi County and the leaders of Tuocheng area: Who can be born to know this?
Luo Xuan did not major in water conservancy.
Even apart from building a small canal in his hometown, Hongxing Commune, Luo Xuan had never really been exposed to water conservancy matters.
How could he imagine out of thin air that the construction method of "collecting water through cofferdams and using silt to create fields" was labor-intensive and he didn't know how effective it would be in the future?
If,
Luo Xuan is just a sudden idea, it must have certain theoretical support, and it must have similar engineering facilities built by predecessors as a reference.
Leaders of Tuocheng District and Zhimi County who are never superstitious.
They would not believe that a person could come up with a construction plan of this scale without any reference.
And there is another point that the leaders at both levels still can't figure out: Why did Luo Xuan leave the Guanzhuang production team next to him and not work on the ready-made construction ideas?
But he did not hesitate to take the risk of offending his superiors, wasting people and money, and risking nothing in the end.
Do you have to organize all the members to build "cofferdams" in the mountains and valleys?!
If we say this is a fight between two young educated youths, Luo Xuan and Xu Daliang, trying to compete for the limelight.
Then this bet is too big.
not to mention,
The county leaders were instructed by the regional leaders and had been secretly watching Luo Xuan's every move in the Shilipu production team.
To this end, the county also specially arranged for staff to fly high to observe Luo Xuan's every move at close range.
Gao Fei was ordered to come to the Shilipu production team to help Luo Xuan solve some practical difficulties.
But at the same time, Gao Fei is actually responsible for secretly reporting Luo Xuan's actions to the county leaders.
This year, since the beginning of spring for the Shilipu production team, Luo Xuan immediately organized a large amount of manpower and material resources to build an inexplicable "war preparation trench."
The leaders of the county were even more surprised by this: War preparation trenches?
Who agrees that the Shilipu production team did not hesitate to use two tractors, an unlicensed second-hand truck, and organized all members to build the "war preparation trench" in Laoshizi?
In the northern part of Saibei, where the loess slopes are endless, building a "village-level combat readiness trench"??
It's funny to think about village-level combat readiness facilities.
So, what does Luo Xuan want to do?
Who is he preparing to fight?
After a little analysis, everyone has always believed that Luo Xuan's construction of combat trenches was fake, but that building a flood dam was real!
therefore,
When Gao Fei returned to the county government and reported the matter to the relevant leaders, the county leaders pondered for a moment.
Then he asked Gao Fei: "Comrade Xiao Gao, what do you think is the real intention of the Shilipu production team in building this combat trench?"
Because Gao Fei has dealt with Luo Xuan a lot these days, he actually still respects Luo Xuan who "just gives without expecting anything in return".
And because of Zhang Xiaoli, Gao Fei, who loves Wu Ji Wu, doesn't want to say anything detrimental to Luo Xuan.
Therefore, Gao Fei could only pretend to be stupid: "Hey, leader, Luo Xuan is from the south, and his thoughts are not on the same wavelength as mine. I really can't guess what he is thinking. Maybe, probably.
Luo Xuan's move was really in response to the country's call to prepare for a rainy day. He prepared for war and famine in advance, so he built such a "war preparation trench," right?"
The county leader gave Gao Fei a meaningful look and slowly uttered a sentence: "Comrade Xiao Gao, pay attention to sticking to your principled position."
Gao Fei blushed and hurried away: "Boss, I don't have a very good understanding. I, I have to go to the County Animal Husbandry Bureau to help with Comrade Zhang Xiaoli's transfer procedures. Leader, you are busy first, I'm leaving!"
Said,
Gao Fei, who is used to messing around with county leaders, ran away!
"Little slippery man!"
The county leader laughed and cursed, then shook the "handle" phone on his desk, "Hello, are you an operator at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau? Please answer the call from Director Zhao's office in Tuocheng."
The operator's sweet voice came from the phone: "Okay, please wait a moment, comrade."
In this period,
There is not much difference in job titles among leaders at all levels. They are basically all called "Director xx".
Therefore, the former leader Zhao in the Tuocheng area is now also called Director Zhao.
After a while, the call was connected.
The county leaders reported to Leader Zhao that the Shilipu production team had built an inexplicable "war preparation trench."
There was a silence on the other end of the phone.
Later, leader Zhao Da asked: "What do you think is the real intention of Luo Xuan's trench and dam project?"
The county leader smiled slightly: "Perhaps the so-called war preparation is to conceal the real purpose of this guy Luo Xuan."
On the other end of the phone, leader Zhao also smiled: "Tell me, besides being beneficial to combat, what other role can this trench and dam play?"
"The trenches can drain water, and the dams can prevent floods from harming the fertile fields in the river."
The county leader replied: "As for fighting another Shilipu production team, who are they fighting with? Even in the old days, two villages were fighting each other.
What use can that dike do? People can go around it easily, why do they need to climb the dike with great difficulty?"
"Hahaha--"
Leader Zhao's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Yes! Luo Xuan, this cunning guy, is preventing floods in the spring and is worried about destroying the farmland of their production team!"
“Will there really be major floods this year?”
Just joking is joking.
Leader Zhao also began to pay attention to the potential flood risks caused by the melting of snow on the plateau in the spring of this year. "I have instructed the meteorological department to strengthen contact with the National Meteorological Administration.
At the same time, we also specially organized a part of the manpower to go to Inner Mongolia to observe the intensity of snow inspection this year.
At the same time, flood control personnel were also dispatched to keep an eye on the flood situation in the upper reaches of the Wuding River."
"It's just that this work is very difficult and the workload is huge. The snow-covered area is hundreds of kilometers wide, making it difficult to accurately predict flood conditions."
Leader Zhao sighed worriedly: "I hope the flood control embankment built by Luoxuan is just a preventive temporary measure, rather than taking such an unbelievable measure with accurate prediction."
When the leaders of Zhimi County heard this, they were also silent.
The northern part of the Great Wall, including the Inner Mongolia Plateau, is sparsely populated and extremely vast.
There may not be any snow on some leeward and sunny slopes.
But over the hillside, in the shade, the snow may be as thick as one meter.
However, those "flood observers" sent out by Tuocheng just rely on their legs to walk. It is impossible to see clearly the snow conditions in countless ravines!
The slopes of the Loess Plateau may not be as steep or precipitous as the karst landforms.
The mountains in Bashu and QXN are not as prone to landslides and are not as dangerous.
However, the "plateau" of the Loess Plateau is very large. Looking at an inconspicuous dirt bag, it would actually take at least 2 or 3 hours to climb to the top of the plateau.
If you include the time spent going downhill, it would take several hours just to look at one hillside.
In this way,
Those dedicated "flood control observers", no matter how dedicated they are, can't climb two hills in one day.
But since they couldn't reach the top of the deserted slope, they couldn't clearly see the snow accumulation behind the slope.
Without even knowing the amount of snow, how can the relevant departments accurately predict the extent of this year's flood situation?
Let’s make an estimate based on the amount of snowfall.
Sometimes, the cold wind from Siberia blows snow and dust, which is not included in the statistics of the meteorological department.
Therefore, now the leaders of Zhao Da in Tuocheng and the leaders of Zhimi County want to know: Luo Xuan built the dam in advance. Is he planning for a rainy day?
Or is it targeted?
If it's the latter, then you have to "invite" Luo Xuan over and find experts to study and study Luo Xuan's brain structure.
It's not that leaders can't tolerate people with special skills.
It's because people here in Saibei have always been more reverent to gods.
People in remote areas are poorly educated and attribute many unexplained natural phenomena to gods. This is understandable and does not affect the overall situation.
But Saibei is an old district, and it is a particularly famous old district.
If he is someone like Luo Xuan who can foresee the future and sense dangers in advance, then if he has ulterior motives and spreads things that should not be said everywhere.
In order to "prevent" such uncertain factors in the cradle and nip them in the bud, this is the true plan deep in the heart of leader Zhao Da.
As a result, the answer has not been revealed yet.
Luo Xuan is missing!
Leader Zhao put down the phone and turned to look out the window at the promotional banner on the wall of the street that said "Lanhuahua Cosmetics Factory is working hand in hand with people affected by the disaster from all walks of life to overcome the difficulties together!"
For a moment, Leader Zhao couldn't help but have mixed feelings: The cosmetics factory run by Luo Xuan was now becoming famous in Tuocheng.
Orchid Flower Cosmetics is quite popular now. It is selling so well that it is catching up from behind and crowding out the old and well-known cosmetics.
Why did its leading figure Luo Xuan encounter misfortune?
Leader Zhao couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart: Luo Xuan is actually a pretty good educated youth who jumped in line.
The big boss knew that Luo Xuan had been busy running around for a while, focusing on running entities and seeking benefits for the members of the Shilipu production team.
Seeing that the Shilipu production team, together with the withdrawals from all levels of Shilipu Commune, are pouring into the Zhimi County financial treasury.
Why did this happen?
Just when Leader Zhao was feeling unhappy in every possible way.
And underground in a mountain col, 30 miles away from the Shilipu production team, Luo Xuan and Li Xue were experiencing the test of life and death.
"Rumble--"
This wave of floods came with such force that Luo Xuan and Li Xue, who were standing at the bottom of the ditch, were swept away in an instant.
Due to the high peak waves and fast flow speed, when the first wave of flood peaks rushed into the trench, it immediately hit the high embankment.
In this way, just like the spring tide of the Qiantang River, a "turning tide" is formed.
The crest of the tide adds to the crest of the tide, so the water level at the peak of the flood becomes higher.
What's even more terrible is that the two tides overlapped and the violent flood backfired, so that a huge whirlpool was immediately formed at the bottom of the torrent.
In this rapidly rotating whirlpool with astonishing sucking power, no matter how good his water skills were, he would not be able to break away from the incomparable power.
Standing at the bottom of the trench, I listened to the sound of the flood that seemed to be coming to destroy the world.
Luo Xuan had no choice but to quickly place the end of the half-tied rope around Li Xue's waist and quickly wrap it around his own waist.
After Kankan finished tying the knot, he didn't even have time to shout to the person standing at the top of the embankment to pull him up!
At this moment!
Luo Xuan only felt waves of earth shaking and mountains shaking, and the sky that was originally filled with mist suddenly became dim in an instant.
It turned out to be the first flood peak, which had already rolled down from the top of the trench, blocking all the light at once.
actually,
In this deafening flood, even if he shouted with all his strength, how could those people standing on the top of the dam hear Luo Xuan's cry for help?
"puff--"
Luo Xuan, who had tied ropes around his and Li Xue's waists, originally thought that he could still be saved.
At least he and Li Xue have tied the ropes.
As long as Accountant Li, Chen Xiaobai and the others on the dam pull the rope, they should be able to pull themselves and Li Xue up in time.
Who would have expected!
A huge dead tree caught in the sweeping flood has now turned into an indestructible javelin.
With a "poof", the rope was treated like a fragile loach, using the dam as a chopping board and the dead tree as a kitchen knife.
In an instant, the thick rope was cut in two!
This led to Chen Xiaobai on the embankment. When he pulled up the rope, he only saw the broken rope.
It was extremely turbid, and the sky was dark, making it impossible to open your eyes, let alone breathe.
Luo Xuan and Li Xue were like two dead branches sucked into the bottom of the water by a huge vortex, and were swept away by the flood for dozens of meters in an instant.
Then they were submerged in countless dead branches, fallen leaves, ruins and broken walls, and flowed down the river with the torrential floods.
