Ye Zhiquan, chief engineer of Wangjiang County Water Conservancy Bureau, was a little confused today. So many leaders went to the county committee for a meeting, but all the other leaders dispersed, leaving him alone.

Director Lei Tangjun of the County Party Committee Office personally arranged the reception, with Maotai wine on the table, and the host was the newly appointed Secretary Cao Ruicao of the County Party Committee who had just taken office.

This scene made Ye Zhiquan feel flattered and a little confused at the same time. Although Ye Zhiquan had the title of chief engineer, he actually enjoyed the treatment of deputy director and was involved in the division of labor in the Water Conservancy Bureau.

He can't make the final decision on the affairs of the Water Conservancy Bureau. Director Chen Qian must make the final decision before it can be implemented! What does it mean when Cao Rui invites him to dinner?

"Mr. Ye, I know your situation. You have been working in the Water Conservancy Bureau since you graduated from college. It has been more than 20 years this year. From the most front-line reservoir manager, you have now become the chief engineer of our Water Conservancy Bureau!

You are an expert in water conservancy, but our Wangjiang County happens to be a place prone to floods. I have nothing else to do with treating you to a drink today! I just want to hear your opinion on our water conservancy project in Wangjiang County and what we should do to prevent our people from suffering disasters.

There is no one else today, just you and me plus Director Lei, just the three of us drinking. If you have any ideas, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you say it wrong. If it comes out of your mouth or comes into my ears, there will be no third party. Personal knowledge. "Cao Rui said.

Ye Zhiquan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Cao Rui carefully. This young county party secretary was very ambitious. He wanted to work hard on the water conservancy project in Wangjiang County?

Ye Zhiquan thinks it is impossible. It is true that Wangjiang County spends a lot of money on water conservancy construction every year, but these funds are very troublesome to use. The key is that no one dares to take responsibility.

There is no way to eradicate the floods in Wangjiang County. To eradicate the floods in Wangjiang County, comprehensive management of water resources in the entire river basin must be carried out. The relevant plans have been reviewed by experts before the Provincial Department of Water Resources and the National Ministry of Water Resources.

In this case, who can guarantee that there will be no floods after spending money? Therefore, after so many years of evolution, apart from the routine maintenance and reinforcement of river embankments every year, the remaining funds for water conservancy construction are allocated to ten towns and villages.

After the towns and villages received the special funds for water conservancy, they decided how to use them. Once the floods broke out, each township and village mobilized private forces to fight floods and rescue when necessary. In this way, responsibilities were transferred from leaders to functional departments.

The enthusiasm of the townships is also high, because Wangjiang County's fiscal revenue is tight and the townships are very poor. They can get a sum of funds every year and they are willing to take risks. If the weather goes well in any year, the towns and villages will make money in vain.

Ye Zhiquan introduced this situation to Cao Rui, and Cao Rui said:

"Mr. Ye, I think this kind of operation before is definitely unscientific! There is no way to eliminate the flood problem in Wangjiang County, but we can still effectively control and manage it!

Now that you are talking about it, I find that the special funds for flood control are subdivided to each township, which forms an interest group! If we rashly ban the previous practices now, will there be an emotional backlash? "

Ye Zhiquan had a strange expression on his face, thinking that if Secretary Cao is going to do something, it will cause others to oppose me. How can Ye Zhiquan know?

Also, regarding the issue of water conservancy projects, everyone who has touched them for so many years has been covered in fish. Is it different for you, Cao Rui?

Ye Zhiquan thought so in his heart, but he still said:

"Secretary Cao, water conservancy construction is definitely beneficial. Now we have three towns prone to floods. Relatively speaking, we can implement multiple plans. For example, we have a basin in Anxi Town with a large area. If we plant rice, we can almost An area of ​​two to thirty thousand acres! Currently, there are only thirty or forty households living in that area, with a total of more than one hundred people!

If we can adopt a certain plan to relocate local residents, we can actually use Anxi as a temporary flood storage place when the flood peak passes through, which will alleviate other places..."

Ye Zhiquan has worked in water conservancy in Wangjiang County for more than 20 years. He can be said to be an expert who knows the local situation very well. Although he is an expert who usually cannot speak well, in the county where the official system is under the official system, Ye Zhiquan works on the front line most of the time. He's just a technician, so it's not his turn to make decisions.

However, the water conservancy issues in Wangjiang County have always been discussed. From the county, city, provincial, and national levels, there are experts who have reviewed the water conservancy construction in Wangjiang County. Ye Zhiquan understands this process relatively well, and he also has a considerable say. of.

After Cao Rui chatted with Ye Zhiquan, he said:

"Mr. Ye, this is my thinking! This year we will decide how to do water conservancy construction first! I think this decision is not decided by us as leading cadres. Water conservancy is a professional job, so we will find experts to come up with plans and make plans. "

Ye Zhiquan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Secretary, please don't say that. I, Ye Zhiquan, am just a bastard, definitely not an expert! I can't be called an expert either..."

Cao Rui laughed loudly. Dining with Ye Zhiquan was just an idea he came up with.

It is absolutely impossible for Cao Rui to achieve anything by relying on Ye Zhiquan. He just took the opportunity of eating to understand some situations! As for how to carry out flood control projects, Cao Rui will definitely not be unconventional and change the rules rudely.

He knows better than anyone that touching interests is like touching souls. However, since Cao Rui is now responsible for this piece of work, he cannot do nothing and just follow the previous path.

From Wude to Wangjiang County, Cao Rui did not come here just to hang out. He still wanted to do something down-to-earth. Since he wanted to do something, he must have the attitude and determination to do it.

The most important resource Su Bo gave Cao Rui was Chen Jiaqiang, the current director of the Provincial Department of Water Resources. How could Cao Rui not use this relationship?

After getting off work after dinner, the driver Huang Jian took Cao Rui back to his residence. Cao Rui did not have a house in Wangjiang County, so the county party committee temporarily arranged a residential area for Cao Rui's family.

The house is an old one and looks unprepossessing from the outside, but it is well decorated inside and has three bedrooms and one living room.

Lei Tangjun had talked to Cao Rui about choosing a driver before, and Huang Jian, a young man, was very good at it. He probably wanted to drive for Cao Rui for a long time. Cao Rui had not finalized it yet, and he wanted to wait.

"Xiao Huang, find a place on He Street and let's take a walk!"

Huang Jian immediately drove the car to the road along the river, parked the car quickly, and then helped Cao Rui open the door.

Although it was National Day, the weather was still hot. Cao Rui stood by the river, thinking about Yongping and home. It had been a month since he arrived in Wangjiang County, and he felt a little homesick.
