Chapter 202 The Prelude to Fighting the Flood Begins
Perhaps Huang Ping's murderous words at the end had an effect. After the meeting, Long Ziyou discovered that the town government was operating with rare efficiency.
As soon as the meeting ended, Long Ziyou and Li Chunyan immediately met the dozen excavator bosses who had been waiting for a while. To Long Ziyou's surprise, he saw Qian Qiangbao among them. And Qian Qiangbao saw him
It was also quite surprising, even a little uncomfortable, because Qian Qiangbao knew that water conservancy was not in charge of Long Ziyou, and he felt that he was a little afraid of seeing Long Ziyou, because every time he saw Long Ziyou, Long Ziyou seemed to be...
It can eat him to death.
"I won't go into details. This is a section of the river that needs to be dug deeply. One for each of you." At Long Ziyou's instruction, Li Chunyan sent the prepared schematic diagrams of more than a dozen river sections to Qian Qiangbao and others.
in human hands.
"Mayor Long, of course we are very happy to have a project, but the money...hehe," Qian Qiangbao smiled and rubbed his fingers a few times, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. He is the most powerful among this group of bosses.
and prestige, so before Long Ziyou and Li Chunyan arrived, these bosses invariably asked Qian Qiangbao to negotiate with the town government on their behalf.
"Don't worry, the money is indispensable for you. One million has just arrived in the town government's account, but don't take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the country's financial difficulties," Long Ziyou said with a serious face. This million was what he asked before the meeting.
Li Feng called.
"Haha, please don't worry, Mayor Long. We are a group of patriotic businessmen. How could we take advantage of others? 200 yuan an hour, the market price, is fair!" Qian Qiangbao heard that one million dollars had arrived, and he had a pair of small eyes.
He shined brightly and said with a smile.
"Mr. Qian, don't lie to me because I don't understand. The market price seems to be 150 yuan an hour?" Since he decided to hire an excavator, how could Long Ziyou not find out the price? He squinted and stared at Qian Qiangbao.
It made him panic.
"Haha, Long Zhen, you are talking about the price half a year ago. Now the oil price and labor have increased," Qian Qiangbao said with a rather embarrassed laugh. In fact, he felt very guilty when facing Long Ziyou, because
He wasn't sure whether Long Ziyou knew anything about the last payment collection. "Oh, but I asked the person who was doing the construction, Mr. Qian, is your price the market price in the provincial capital?" Long
Although Ziyou had a smile on his face, he was already very angry in his heart.
"Then according to Mayor Long's 150 an hour, it's okay to work for the country and earn less. However, wages must be paid every day, otherwise we will stop working the next day." Qian Qiangbao's bottom line is also 150.
, in order not to spend more time with Long Ziyou, he didn't bother to bargain anymore, and he felt uncomfortable all over for a while.
"No problem," Long Ziyou nodded, and added: "But I also want to make a request. You should immediately go to the section of the river you obtained and start work immediately. Work cannot be stopped until it gets dark!"
"Okay!" All the bosses nodded. The longer they work, the more they can earn. How could they not agree?
During lunch, Long Ziyou received a call from Lei Ming, saying that he would come over in the afternoon. He smiled bitterly and told about the flood control in the town, saying that you could come over if you wanted to, but he might not have time to accompany him. Lei Ming expressed his understanding.
, and said that it would be fine if he had Fu Guangming and Ma Wencai accompanying him.
Just as he hung up the phone, the phone rang again. When he saw it was Miss Ren Fei Ren, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: How did everything get together?
As expected by Long Ziyou, Ren Fei came here to sign the contract and wanted to ask Long Ziyou to accompany him when he arrived. What else could Long Ziyou say? He could only repeat what he had just said to Lei Ming, but what he got was
It’s a coquettish sentence: Who wants your company?
I'm not surprised you called me again? Long Ziyou shook his head and smiled bitterly, women are all duplicitous animals!
After the meal, the rain became much lighter, but the sky was still gloomy, which indicated that there would be heavier rain. Long Ziyou ignored his lunch break and immediately began to patrol the northern half of the area he was responsible for. Following him was Gao
Cong and Zhang Caixia.
Long Ziyou first went to the excavator construction section of the Dazhuang River. He saw more than a dozen excavators working non-stop on both sides of the river. He felt a little unsure. The staff of the Water Conservancy Institute who supervised the construction here kept introducing him to the situation on site.
…
At the second stop, Longzi swam to Shuidongpi Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Hezhuang, and this was also the most critical place for flood control. If the reservoir failed, all other efforts would be zero.
"How many meters is the water level away from the warning line?" Looking at the wide water surface, Long Ziyou asked Zeng Weiqiang, the director of the water conservancy institute who was on duty here.
"The heavy rain from last night to this morning caused the water level to rise very quickly. It is now about one and a half meters away from the warning line. If there is another heavy rain like last night, the water level will rise even faster." Zeng Weiqiang added: "Today we entered the water level.
It has been raining more since spring, and the water level in the reservoir is already higher than in previous years. Coupled with the rare heavy rain from last night to morning, the water level has risen very quickly."
"Since the water level is higher than in previous years, why isn't some water released?" Long Ziyou was a little surprised.
"The Reservoir Management Bureau depends on the weather. It's rare that there is a lot of rain this year. How can they be willing to let it go?" Zeng Weiqiang glanced at Zhang Youping, director of the Shuidongpi Reservoir Management Branch not far away, and whispered.
It's all the fault of money! Long Ziyou muttered depressedly, and then asked: "When will the floodgates need to be opened?"
"When we were about twenty or thirty centimeters away from the warning line." Zeng Weiqiang answered quickly.
"Can the reservoir dam hold up?" Long Ziyou finally asked the question he was most worried about.
"This... Longzhen, I'm not sure about this," Zeng Weiqiang's face became hesitant, "The dam of Shuidongpi Reservoir was built in the early 1970s, and it has been nearly thirty years now.
During this period, only minor repairs were done intermittently. The original plan was to do a major repair last winter, but..."
Long Ziyou's heart sank after hearing this, but Zeng Weiqiang didn't say anything. He also knew what was behind it. It was just that the funds had been misappropriated. At this time, scolding his mother was of no use. He asked solemnly: "Director Zeng, how about you?"
Based on your professional knowledge and experience, can this dam hold up?"
"This... I'm not sure. As long as there is no duct surge, the problem is not big. After all, the repairs we made at that time were very strong." Zeng Weiqiang's answer seemed ambiguous.
"Director Zeng, do you think it's feasible if we open a small part of the gate now to reduce the pressure on the dam?" Long Ziyou asked after pondering for a while.
Zeng Weiqiang thought carefully for a while and said: "It's okay to open a small branch, but it's definitely not possible to open too many branches. Then the water in the downstream river will surge immediately. Then there is no need to wait for the rain to flood the Jinshan Mountain downstream."
"How wide should the gate be opened?" Long Ziyou asked again.
"About one fifth." Zeng Weiqiang pondered for a while.
Thinking that the downstream river channel was still being dug deep and it was not appropriate to open the gate at this time, Long Ziyou said: "Start opening one-fifth of the gate when it gets dark."
"Mayor Long, there are many rat holes in the dam. Should we find someone to plug them quickly? Otherwise, when the water level rises, it will easily cause piping, which is very dangerous!" At this time, the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Institute, who was in his fifties, stood aside.
Director Zhao Guoqing said suddenly.
As soon as Zhao Guoqing spoke, Zeng Weiqiang's face became a little ugly, because he had just rejected Zhao Guoqing's proposal because it was unrealistic.
"Well, Director Zhao, your suggestion is very good," Long Ziyou pretended not to see Zeng Weiqiang's face, "Director Zeng, immediately summon all the people guarding the dam to look for rat holes, and block them immediately if they are found.
!”
"Yes, Longzhen." Although he was a little reluctant, Long Ziyou had already given the order, and Zeng Weiqiang could only follow it.
While Zeng Weiqiang was gathering people, Long Ziyou called Chen Haining, the deputy mayor who was responsible for the supply of logistics supplies, and asked him to send five carts of sandbags and some wooden stakes.
Then Long Ziyou also personally participated in the search for the mouse hole. Seeing that the leaders had personally taken action, the cadres and workers on the dam certainly did not dare to neglect and started searching seriously, so a spectacle appeared on the dam.
Dozens of people were looking for something back and forth on the dam with their heads lowered, like they were hunting for treasure.
In two hours, more than a hundred mouse holes were blocked. Long Ziyou was frightened when he thought about it. Before leaving, Long Ziyou carefully told Zeng Weiqiang and Zhao Guoqing to report anything at any time.
Next, Long Ziyou visited several large mountain ponds and returned to the town house when it got dark. After a quick dinner, he attended the briefing meeting held by Huang Ping.
Just as the meeting started, the rain became heavier again, which made the people in the meeting room feel a little heavier.
At the meeting, the participating leaders all reported the situation of their inspections and talked about many hidden dangers. Of course, Long Ziyou also reported the situation of his inspections, especially emphasizing the problems of the Shuidongpi Reservoir Dam and suggesting armed
The Ministry sent a team of militiamen to garrison there, and the proposal was approved by Huang Ping and Zhang Bibo. At this time, they were already on the same boat. If the dam broke, their misappropriation of water conservancy funds would be exposed.
, no one can escape.
After the meeting, Long Ziyou sent Zhang Caixia and Gao Cong, who looked tired, home, and prepared to guard the dam with the militia later. When he thought that the car might not be able to reach the dam now, he borrowed a motorcycle.
It can be seen that the militiamen were not gathered so quickly, so he was so anxious that he set off alone on his motorcycle.
About two or three kilometers away from Wei Town, on the provincial highway to the county seat, Long Ziyou found that one of the wheels of a large Mercedes-Benz with a provincial license plate was stuck in a drainage ditch on the roadside, and the body was tilted. Fortunately, the drainage ditch was not wide, otherwise it might have rolled over.
. He quickly stopped the car to check the situation, knocked on the window, and found that the person sitting inside was Ren Fei. It was a rare encounter in his life!
"Long Ziyou, it's you! Haha...that's great!" Ren Fei laughed excitedly as if she saw a savior.
One sentence for each chapter: When you are drunk, the world is big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. To paraphrase a popular advertising slogan: Although wine is a good thing, children should not be greedy for it! Finally, I would like to ask for flowers and tickets as usual. I hope everyone will support it.
