Sitting on a sandbag, Liu Yang was too tired to speak. Around them, some extremely tired people were snoring in such an environment.
Zhao Jingjing snuggled tightly beside Liu Yang and said with a soft smile: "This levee has been built for so many years, but it can still successfully withstand this once-in-a-century rain. This makes me more confident." Yes, I want to add this to our advertising slogan..."
"What?" Liu Yang asked lazily, not understanding what she said.
Zhao Jingjing nudged him with her head and said softly: "What are you talking about? My real estate development plan? After the villa area is built, it will definitely sell very well."
Liu Yang smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "You are a little money addict, and you are still thinking about how to make money?"
At this time, Wu Yuandong appeared from nowhere and said to Liu Yang with a solemn expression: "County Magistrate Liu, although the rain has lightened, the lake level is still rising. This cannot continue. We must contact East Lake Management. Over there, open the gate and release the water now..."
Liu Yang looked at Wu Yuandong silently. This middle-aged man looked like a laid-back scholar. He once served as secretary of the township party committee and director of the county government office. Later, he was placed in the position of director of the Flood Control Office and remained idle for two years. He originally thought that He will become depressed, lose all his energy, and become sluggish.
But after an afternoon and half a night of contact, Liu Yang felt a lot.
A great leader once said that people have a little spirit. This person may usually be inconspicuous and unknown, but once he is needed to stand up, he can stand up, which is very valuable.
Standing up, he reached out and patted Wu Yuandong on the shoulder. Liu Yang nodded and said, "Director Wu, thank you for your hard work. County Magistrate Wang has already sent people to pick up Secretary Sun. When she comes, you can give it to Secretary Sun in person." .Please report the situation here..."
Wu Yuandong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said a little excitedly: "I know the county magistrate, but you still have to..."
"Well, I know what you mean. Don't worry. I will talk about this when Secretary Sun comes." As Liu Yang spoke, he looked up at the sky. Although it was still gloomy and gray, the rain was still there. But much smaller.
Now that the rain has stopped, it shouldn't be difficult for Sun Qingmei to show off and go to the East Lake Management Office to ask for the gate to be opened and the water released, right
However, Liu Yang's plan did not come true. Just before Sun Qingmei arrived, a reserve force stationed in Renzhou City finally arrived.
We can't blame them for arriving late. The officers and soldiers of these troops walked up the embankment carrying relief supplies. All the roads to the north of Huling County have been flooded, making it impossible for cars to drive through. A team of more than 1,500 people carried firewood, rice, oil and salt on their backs, and three people in groups carried steel pipes, steel bars, and wooden sticks as thick as bowls. They walked all the way through waist-deep water, but they didn't know what kind of effort it took.
Then, the party and government leaders of Renzhou City came over in boats along the lake. Along with them, there were also urgently transported boatloads of sand, stones, steel pipes, and tens of thousands of sacks and chemical fibers. The woven bags were also transported to the lake near the breach just now in a dark mass.
The leaders of the municipal party committee are headed by Wang Yifeng. Zhang Jing seems to be sitting at home and not accompanying them. While shaking hands with these big guys from the city, Liu Yang felt relieved for some reason. He just felt that it was his luck that Zhang Jing did not come on this occasion.
I really don't know if she would kick herself into the lake if she saw Zhao Jingjing standing next to her.
But now that Wang Yifeng has arrived, the original procedure for Wu Yuandong to report to Sun Qingmei has been disrupted. Liu Yang went to the battle in person and reported to the city leaders about Huling County's flood control.
Of course, Liu Yang was quite kind during this process. Not to mention he had many kind words for Sun Qingmei. Even Zhang Yawei, who had always wanted to be a deserter, Liu Yang mostly praised him. He said that he was united as one and united in harmony...
When Liu Yang was reporting to Wang Yifeng, Wang Chaojie had already picked up Sun Qingmei and others. Sun Qingmei listened to Liu Yang's report in the back and felt a lot in her heart.
After Liu Yang finished his report, Wang Yifeng also gave a speech, praising Huling County for its heroic performance in fighting floods and disaster relief. Then, he asked the water conservancy experts who came with him to inspect the condition of the embankment and made the decision to continue strengthening it. He also arranged for Zhao Yaoming, secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee who followed him, to drive to the East Lake Management Office in person to contact the East Lake Management Office and open the gates to release water as much as possible without affecting the lives and property of people downstream.
War flags were raised up and down the embankment, and people were shouting. 1,000 officers and soldiers and more than 2,000 people formed a conveyor chain and threw water-blocking stones and sandbags into the rapids, causing waves to splash everywhere. The commando team jumped into the lake, drove wooden piles, piled sand and gravel bags, and built a solid cofferdam at the breach.
It's not over yet...
On the afternoon of the next day, when Wang Yifeng was sitting in the conference room of the county party committee office building, listening to groups of data being reported, the expression on his face was both sadness and joy.
This time's heavy rain caused Huling County to empty out the flood-fighting supplies it had accumulated over the years, using more than a million sacks and woven bags, 1.4 million cubic meters of sand and gravel, and more than 2,000 tons of rice and paddy.
The reality is really cruel. Because the reserve of sand and gravel was not enough, Lin Yufen used all the rice and paddy stored in the grain depot when she could not contact Liu Yang, and then built a cofferdam in the north of the city. , preventing the entire county from being flooded.
But who can say anything at this time
The entire county has withstood the test of heavy rains and floods, resulting in hundreds of millions of yuan in property losses, but no casualties. This alone left everyone speechless.
Even in Zhangjiazhuang, which was the most severely affected, only the walls of almost every house were destroyed. None of the houses collapsed, and there were no casualties.
In this severe rainstorm that had not been seen in nearly a century, the most outstanding performance was County Magistrate Liu Yang. It was his decisive response that bought the most precious time for rescue and disaster relief.
Secretary Sun Qingmei personally led people to organize the relocation of villagers in Zhangjiazhuang and Dayie Villages at great risk, thus ensuring the great achievement of no casualties...
Listening to Wang Yifeng's praise and looking at the young man sitting next to her who was smiling all the time, Sun Qingmei was really sitting on pins and needles at the moment, as if there was a thorn in her buttocks.
It can be said that all of this is thanks to this young county magistrate. He deserved to be praised, but when he was praised, his face was burning!
But Sun Qingmei knew better that this was really not the time for her to stand up and admit her mistakes. In that case, it would not only be embarrassing for me alone, but also for the cadres and the masses who had been tired all night yesterday.
The city is quite satisfied with the current results and situation. Such a sudden heavy rainstorm destroyed the lake embankment, but there were no casualties. This in itself is a miracle, gratifying, and a major event worthy of a book.
At this time, both Huling County and Renzhou City need a positive and glorious image, and they cannot allow themselves to plaster it.
Sure enough, at the end, Wang Yifeng announced on the spot that Huling County would summarize the examples and report them to the municipal party committee, which would then report them to the provincial party committee for rewards. At the same time, the municipal finance allocated RMB 6 million for post-disaster self-rescue and restoration of production.
From Wang Yifeng's words, Sun Qingmei felt that she was right not to stand up just now. The provincial party committee and the provincial government must also be paying attention to the situation in Huling County. Now that the situation created by Liu Yang has been recognized by the municipal party committee, if she If you come out and ask for punishment, you are not mature and honest, but you are giving the municipal party committee leaders a slap in the face.
After sending away the leaders of the municipal party committee, Huling County held another summary meeting. At this meeting, Sun Qingmei first made self-criticism, and then gave the right to speak to Liu Yang.
But Liu Yang did not follow Sun Qingmei's topic. Instead, he commented on some of the problems discovered during the flood fighting and disaster relief this time, and asked all departments to pay attention to improvements to ensure that they would not be thrown into disarray when encountering similar problems in the future.
Then, he mentioned the Rising Sun Group's intention to invest in Huling County, and combined the construction of lake embankments and road construction into one, and analyzed the benefits one by one.
After what happened yesterday, no one thinks that building the lake embankment is unnecessary. Most of them support Liu Yang's statement, but some people have doubts about where the money will come from.
After all, no matter how well you say it, you can't do anything without money.
Liu Yang gave his own explanation for this. After this heavy rain, the city and the province should now have a consensus on this point. At this time, it is natural for us to report and ask for money to repair the lake embankment. It is estimated that the number of approvals will be large.
Finally, Liu Yangcai said: "This is a people's livelihood project. If the provincial and municipal levels really cannot approve the full amount of the money, even if we ask for a bank loan, we must get this thing done."
After saying this, some people couldn't help but puff up their cheeks, saying that there is no precedent for using loans to build roads, but in those cases, the loans were paid back in the form of fees. We are building such a road by the lake, and there are not many cars on it. If we build a toll station, there will be even fewer cars willing to use it, right? How long does it take to repay the loan in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse
No matter how nice we say it, people in banks are not necessarily stupid, right? Will they agree to such a business
Who knows, Liu Yang brought the topic back to the cooperation with Xuri Group with a smile: "It is understandable that businessmen pursue profits, but Xuri Group wants to invest in the development of real estate and tourism in our Huling County, and it does not cost nothing. For this matter, I propose that Secretary Sun personally serve as the team leader, and Deputy County Magistrate Cao Hancheng and I will help you. I don’t believe that we can’t dig out a piece of flesh from the Rising Sun Group? "
As he said that, he smiled and said to Cao Hancheng: "Of course, Secretary Sun and I just picked a name to show that Huling County attaches great importance to it. The specific responsibility for negotiating with Rising Sun Group lies with Comrade Cao Hancheng, Wang Chaojie and Liu Deputy County Magistrate Min assists. We still need to pay attention to propriety. We can neither take advantage of them nor open our mouth like a lion and scare people away... "
