Chapter 23: Reinforcing the Embankment or Dredging the River?
After implementing his inner thoughts, Yan Yanlin changed his original plan and did not allow Chen Buyun to participate in the afternoon meeting. Instead, he asked him to go back to Huanshui Township to wait for transfer.
This time when he returned to his hometown, Chen Buyun was naturally different from usual. He no longer said he was full of thoughts, but went into battle lightly. In the past, the future was unknown and unpredictable, but this time it was different. Secretary to the county magistrate.
, he is a close confidant of the government’s top leader, and he will be respected no matter what the circumstances.
However, after returning to his hometown, Chen Buyun did not have the slightest pride or show off. He still faced everything with his usual enthusiasm and seriousness. After declining Ruan Guanghe's request, he replaced the Mahe flood control village cadre.
After that, Chen Buyun came to Xiama Village immediately.
As soon as he arrived at Xiama Village, Chen Buyun immediately went to inspect the safety of the river and found that Li Jinlin had conscientiously and meticulously completed what Chen Buyun had discussed with him last time. He not only dug three ditches to deal with the outbreak of flash floods, but also dredged them.
By removing the channel of Xiama River, the instantaneous peak volume of Xiama River has been greatly improved.
When it comes to preventing blockages and dredging, Chen Buyun has always chosen diversion, but Li Jinlin was able to mobilize the entire village to complete such a feat in two days, which really made Chen Buyun surprised and admired. However, now
There was really no time to wait. Chen Buyun knew that his transfer order would come soon, and before he left, Chen Buyun very much hoped that Xiama Village could successfully prevent floods. Therefore, although Li Jinlin had done more than Chen Buyun
Imagine, but Chen Buyun still wants more.
Quickly arriving at Li Jinlin's house, Li Meier happened to see Chen Buyun. She happily stepped forward to look at Chen Buyun and said with a smile: "How is it, Brother Chen, have you been appreciated by the county magistrate?"
Chen Buyun couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mei'er's face, and said with a smile: "Young official fan, you care so much about this."
"That's not it. I'm just happy for Brother Buyun!" Li Mei'er pouted, but she had a different charm.
Naturally, Chen Buyun would not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he changed the subject with a smile and asked, "Uncle Li? I have something urgent to do with him."
"What's the urgent matter?" Li Mei'er asked curiously.
"Children, why do you ask so many questions? Well, I said, it is for the flood control of our village." Chen Buyun saw that Li Meier's face gradually became colder, so he immediately made up for it and said, you know, Li Meier
He hates others treating him like a child, especially Chen Buyun who thinks the same way.
Seeing that this matter involved flood control, Li Meier was naturally very concerned: "By the way, Brother Buyun, my dad has organized the people in the village to make preparations according to your wishes in the past two days."
Chen Buyun nodded and said: "I have visited those places just now. They are very good. However, we need better ones, because today's flood season should be very long and the rainfall is also very heavy. We must
It’s better to work harder to nip problems in the bud.”
"Yes, yes, dad is at the village committee. I will go find him with you." Li Meier said.
Chen Buyun waved his hand: "Every second counts now. My eldest lady, please stop following me. I will run over. We can race against time."
Li Mei'er puffed up her chest unconvinced and said, "Brother Buyun, don't look down on others. I'm not much worse than you in running. I'll run with you."
Seeing Li Meier's determination, Chen Buyun stopped insisting, nodded, and walked quickly to the village committee. Although Chen Buyun wanted to run there directly, he considered that he could not cause too much instability to outsiders.
After thinking about it, Chen Buyun chose to walk quickly. Otherwise, if everyone saw him in such a panic, it would undoubtedly put some unnecessary pressure on the people's psychology.
And Li Meier quickly followed up with a smile, but she was very happy in her heart. Brother Buyun is really considerate. She said she wanted to run over, but in order to wait for herself and take care of herself, she still chose to walk quickly. In fact,
He is a considerate person.
The two walked side by side for five minutes before arriving at the door of the village committee. The village committee's offices were two small tile-roofed houses with poor conditions and poor sound insulation. When Chen Buyun walked to the door, he heard
An extremely excited voice inside: "Brother Li, it's not what I said. The money given to us by the county is so scarce. Of course we have to invest these funds in strengthening the river embankments, and you always organize everyone to dredge the rivers."
, not to mention the heavy workload, and the value is not guaranteed.”
"Yes, yes, the river bank has been strengthened and we can use it for several years, but what is the big role of dredging the river channel? In less than three months, the sediment will gather in the river again. Instead of limiting the limited
Instead of investing all the money in endless dredging, it would be better to strengthen the river embankment." Another person said supportively.
"Yes, yes, the river embankments will always exist. It is better to strengthen the river embankments."
"It is, it is dredging the river, who can see it?"
There was a lot of chattering inside. Chen Buyun knew that this was a village committee meeting. What he heard seemed to be talking about where to put the priority flood control funds. Li Jinlin followed his advice and wanted to put these funds.
Invested in dredging the river, but the representatives of the other village committees felt that the dredging of the river was too unintuitive. Instead of spending the money and not seeing it, it would be better to strengthen the river embankment and let people
You can see it at a glance.
However, Chen Buyun knew that it was almost impossible to achieve flood control and disaster reduction in Xiahe Village by strengthening the river embankments, because first of all, the funds were not enough to strengthen the entire section. However, as long as 90% of the money was needed,
You can hire people to dredge the river. Considering these two considerations, you should dredge the river first instead of focusing on the so-called reinforcement of the river embankment.
No matter how hard the river embankment is reinforced, it is just like that. At most, it can only be strengthened by one or two decimeters. This is nothing to deal with the upcoming flood peak. It is completely useless, and dredging the river channel is not enough.
What it can provide is far more significant than one or two decimeters, but it is not easy to show the results.
Chen Buyun stopped and did not go in directly, but wanted to hear if anyone else supported his point of view...
