Excellent little farmer

At this time, both Zeng Lingchun and Wei Xiaolan felt that I might have some psychological shadow. They purchased so many sacks, straw bags, and woven bags at once, and twice the normal reserves of stone, sand and gravel. , as well as a large amount of wood, hemp rope, iron wire, generator sets, colored strips of cloth, etc., it was like preparing for a flood-fighting battle. No matter from any angle, it was too abnormal, which made Zeng Lingchunhe Wei Xiaolan really couldn't understand.

However, out of respect for the authority of me, the secretary of the district party committee, although both of them disagreed, after all, these are real things here, and the procurement will be handed over to the Water Conservancy Bureau and the district flood control and drought relief headquarters. After buying them together, the two of them couldn't say much. Anyway, even if these things are not used up in three to five years, they will not expire after the shelf life.

I have to inspect the river embankments and embankments almost every few days. At the same time, I also supervise various preparations on the Cuihe River embankment in the development zone. However, the development zone is located on the south bank of Cuihe River and the terrain is higher. , the problem is not that big. On the contrary, there are quite a few problems in Dongjiang District on the north bank of the river.

I even made a special call to Dongjiang District Party Committee Secretary Yu Deshou to remind him that the embankment on the north bank of Cuihe River needs to be heightened and reinforced. Although Yu Deshou was quite polite on the phone, I felt that the other party was just politely agreeing. As the lowest ranking member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee, I am not enough to make a district committee secretary nod and obey orders.

A few days later, when I inspected the bank of Cuihe River again, the situation on the north bank of the river was still the same. I was speechless. Before this kind of thing didn't attract enough attention, no one would think it was a big deal. Everything was going as normal. Counting, when will it be your turn to call the shots on someone else's territory?

Liu Yonggui, director of the District Water Conservancy Bureau, is a real water conservancy veteran who has worked in the water conservancy industry all his life. After serving as municipal party secretary and district party secretary so many times, he has never seen a district party secretary who pays so much attention to flood prevention work. I go to the embankment almost once a week, and every time I go up to the embankment, I have to wait for an hour or two before getting off. This time, even the district chief Wei Xiaolan didn't want to come, and only Liu Yonggui and another deputy director Sha Yicheng accompanied me. Follow me through this journey.

"Old Liu, do you think the weather is a little weird this year?"

I stood on the embankment of the Yuexiu River and looked upstream. The Yuexiu River originates from the Wuling Mountains at the junction of Pennsylvania and Huai'an. After flowing through Canghua, the water volume suddenly increased. When it reached the Xijiang River, the water surface was already three hundred meters wide. I The most worrying thing is this river. I am worried that insufficient attention has been paid to the upstream Canghua, which will eventually affect the flood control and flood control on the Xijiang River.

"Weird? Secretary Ye, the weather in Huai'an is like this. It gets hot early and cools down later. It's no different from Pennsylvania in the south. But the climate in Tongcheng in the north is much cooler than ours. They say it's Wuling Mountain. I'm covering up, saying that there is ground air below Wuling Mountain and it's hot, so the climate in Huai'an is much warmer than that of places at the same latitude." Liu Yonggui said with a smile.

"Old Liu, I'm not talking about the fact that it gets hot early. I'm talking about, have you ever felt that the weather has always been so hot and humid? It's so humid that it makes you breathless."

I twisted up the shirt on my body and fanned, only to feel the sticky feeling on my body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Secretary Ye, we are in Huai'an where the three rivers are converging. The terrain is relatively low. Water vapor evaporates under the sun and cannot escape in the valleys in this area. How can we not have hot flashes?"

Liu Yonggui shook his head and said: "It doesn't count now. In July and August, the smell will be enough. It will be much hotter than the mausoleum."

"Well! It's much cooler at the mausoleum, especially if you go to the southeastern mountains, it's even cooler and more pleasant. When you get to the top of Chuan'an Mountain, you have to wear a thicker coat, otherwise you'll catch a cold. .”

I really miss the days at Lingtai. The hot springs, secluded forests, mountain streams, canyons, and primeval forests all make people feel like they are in a paradise, forgetting all the troubles of the world.

"That's right, the side of the mausoleum has more mountains than plains, good forest vegetation, and little industry. The natural air is fresh and the climate is cool."

Liu Yonggui said nonchalantly: "Secretary Ye, you have been in Lingtai for three years, right?"

"Yeah! After three years, I have some feelings for the mausoleum."

I shook my head, brought the topic back, and asked, "Yonggui, you said the Yuexiu River is not long, so why is the water volume so large?"

"Secretary Ye, you don't know something. Although the Yuexiu River is short, it gathers several streams in the Wuling Mountain area. Later, it emerged from the southern end of Canghua. There is a dense forest built in the 1950s until the lower end of the mountain pass. If the Shan Reservoir blocks it, as long as it rains in the Wuling Mountains, the water in the Yuexiu River is guaranteed to surge, and the Mishan Reservoir can only block the water speed."

"Is the Mishan Reservoir managed by Canghua County or the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau?"

"It used to be under the management of the city, but later it was delegated to the county. The Mishan Reservoir is a small reservoir, old and of little value." Liu Yonggui didn't realize why I suddenly cared about the Mishan Reservoir.

“How much role can the Mishan Reservoir play in blocking floods due to its small storage capacity?” I asked rhetorically.

"It was originally developed during the development of small hydropower. However, after it was built, it was difficult to achieve the expected purpose, and it became purely an irrigation reservoir. However, due to the abundant water flow in the Wuling Mountains, the Mishan Reservoir rarely stores water, and the design is not very scientific. , many people have suggested that building a reservoir upstream is more in line with the current flood control and irrigation needs." Liu Yonggui said with a smile.

I am wondering whether there will be any problems with the Mishan Reservoir that will affect the Xijiang River. After all, the Mishan Reservoir is just at the bottom of Canghua County, and further down is the boundary of Xijiang, and the terrain on the Xijiang side is flat. There is nothing to stop the ups and downs. If the flood really comes down, there will be nothing to stop it.

At this time, Kong Lingguang jogged all the way up the river embankment, handed me his cell phone, and said, "Secretary Ye, Secretary Tang's phone number."

I answered the phone, and Tang Yanlin informed me that a joint meeting of the party and government would be held at four o'clock in the afternoon. It was really strange to suddenly notify me of a joint meeting of the party and government at this time. However, Tang Yanlin said that it was to arrange the flood prevention work that was urgently announced by the province, and I couldn't help but feel in my heart. Once it rings, isn’t there really a problem?

The atmosphere in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting room was somewhat solemn. The meeting was held immediately after Huang Ling, Shu Zhigao and Meng Yuan went to the province to hold an emergency meeting. There was only one topic on the agenda. The latest news from the National Defense Headquarters and the National Meteorological Administration stated The Yangtze River Basin will experience a large-scale heavy rainfall process in the near future, and the heavy rainfall process is expected to last for a long time and may exceed expectations. Please make full preparations for flood prevention and control.

“According to the notification from the National Defense and Provincial Defense Headquarters, our Huai’an City and the southern Pennsylvania City will experience a large-scale heavy rainfall, which is estimated to last for two to three days. This will have a great impact on all counties in Huai’an City. All will have a greater impact, especially in the Wuling Mountain area, which may receive the first heavy rainfall since the flood season, which may affect Wujiang, Yuexiu River, Cuihe, Jinma River, Guixi, Yunxi, Baitou River, etc. in our city Many rivers.

According to the unified deployment of the province, the city will enter the flood prevention and rescue period from today. The city has established a flood prevention and rescue headquarters. The commander is Comrade Huang Ling, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Shu Zhigao, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, serves as the deputy commander. Others The municipal leaders serve as members, and there is an office under it. The director of the office is concurrently served by Comrade Ye Qingquan, and the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Comrade Wang Daolu, serves as the deputy director. "

Meng Yuan is a handsome, middle-aged man with glasses in his early 40s. I have always felt that this deputy mayor is more suitable to be a teacher or researcher. He is also polite and kind when I meet him, but he does not give me the impression that he lacks a little courage and courage. , everything is said with a hint of discussion.

Especially when I came to discuss the Wujiang embankment reinforcement and heightening plan last time, Wang Daolu said that he wanted to ask Mayor Meng to make a decision, so I took Wang Daolu to find Meng Yuan, and blocked Meng Yuan in Meng Yuan's office. After a few words, although Meng Yuan also knew that this was unreasonable, he couldn't shirk it. He could only pass the burden to Wang Daolu. In the end, I forced Wang Daolu to nod, and Meng Yuan nodded along with relief, as if Wang Daolu was the deputy in charge. The mayor, and he is the director of water conservancy.

After Meng Yuan briefly introduced the situation, it immediately aroused a discussion. The Standing Committee members and the deputy mayors were all whispering to each other. Obviously, they felt that there were not many warnings before, so how could they suddenly make the matter so serious? Although it was said that this year's flood season was somewhat In advance, but this flood prevention work is carried out every year, and emergency rescue is also carried out every year.

But holding a party and government joint meeting of this scale seems to be a bit of a fuss. Huaian City has many rivers, reservoirs and dams. The annual flood control and rescue work is very familiar and has encountered some dangerous situations. , but this is the first time that a meeting has been held at such a standard.

"Secretary Huang, Mayor Shu, Lao Meng, is the problem so serious?"

Guo Qihu frowned and said, although he spoke in a consultative tone, he still showed a hint of disapproval, saying: "This flood prevention and rescue operation is carried out every year, and there are various plans. All kinds of flood prevention materials are also stored in advance. Okay, it seems that Xijiang District has deliberately increased its reserves this year, Qingquan, right? But suddenly raising the alert level to such a high level almost disrupts the normal work of the entire city. Isn’t this a bit too... ...Is the wind roaring?"
