Excellent little farmer

Zeng Lingchun also sighed, nodded, and said: "I also have this hunch, I am afraid that Canghua County will have a big problem this time. Secretary Huang has a strong style since he came, and many secretaries and county magistrates have been scolded , now they are all focusing on how to attract investment to develop the economy, and they don’t pay much attention to this aspect of work. Last time I held a regular meeting on flood control and drought relief work with Canghua County Magistrate Cao Yuan, and I just listened to him talking about it. How can we attract business development? I have no intention of focusing on it."

"Well! You can't blame them. If you want to avoid being scolded as the secretary or magistrate of a poor county, you have to work hard to improve the economy. But everyone's situation is the same. The economy can be improved even if you just say it. of?"

I'm also a little bitter. A person's energy is limited. If you focus on one side, you will inevitably ignore the other side. This is inevitable. Cao Yuan has some skills and means. If he encounters this problem this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

"Yes! Haste makes waste, and sometimes it can lead to bad things."

Zeng Lingchun looked up along the river bank and said: "There must be no problem with the Yuexiu River. Once there is a problem, it will be our Xijiang River that will suffer."

"Old Zeng, I see it this way. You will stay on duty in the district tonight. I will go to Ping'an, Liuqiao, and Liuzhuang towns to have a look. I will be on duty in Ping'an Town tonight. All militia and reserve personnel in the district have been mobilized. When I get up, I plan to take half of it over and leave the remaining half for you to maneuver."

I took a deep breath and said slowly: "I hope our hunch is wrong."

Ping'an, Liuqiao and Liuzhuang are the southwestmost towns, all on the north bank of the Yuexiu River. They are also the towns most threatened by floods. Zeng Chun was surprised and asked: "Secretary Ye, you won't come back tonight. ?”

"Well! I'm afraid I don't dare to come back. I've asked the low-lying village groups in those towns and villages to move the elderly, women and children to safe areas first, leaving only some young adults to stay and look after the houses. I'm worried that if something happens upstream, There was no time to divert the incident, so the water conservancy department originally asked them to build some second-stage flood control embankments along the river bank, hoping it would have some effect."

I nodded and said: "I took the lead in living in Ping An Town, which can be regarded as giving the local people a little confidence, although I also hope that it will not be useful."

"Secretary Ye, is it really this serious?" When the matter came to a close, Zeng Lingchun hesitated.

"It's hard to say. You should be prepared for any trouble. Lao Zeng, you must not take it lightly in the district. You are required to keep the telephone numbers of each group open and ready for deployment at any time." I have made up my mind. It is not practical to stay in the district. It is better to go directly to the district. The most dangerous area, please have peace of mind.

When Dong Shengli, Director Xie of the District Armed Forces Department, and I arrived at Pingan Town with more than 100 reserve militiamen and 30 police officers from the District Public Security Bureau, all the cadres from Pingan Town had already gone down to Luoxikou.

The Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor of Ping'an Town also live in Luoxikou. When the Yuexiu River rises, the water in Luoxi cannot be drained. Instead, it looks like it is pouring back. Ping'an Town and the neighboring Liuqiao are panicking. The township capital led a large group of people to camp along the Luo River. Fortunately, the District Water and Electricity Bureau also followed my request and specifically reminded me to prepare for the second dam. Ping'an and Liuqiao townships also did some preliminary work. The dams along Luo River have been strengthened a lot.

I asked the militiamen and policemen to rest first. I arrived at Luoxikou with Water Conservancy Director Liu Yonggui, Armed Forces Minister Xie Youzhi and Public Security Director Yunhuang. I happened to meet Ping An Town Party Committee Secretary You Zhifu and Town Mayor Qin Qin who were checking the situation along the Xikou. The two of them tied up their trousers, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked in the mud.

"Secretary Ye, why are you here in person?" You Zhifu and Qin Hua were both a little surprised when they saw me with my feet and pants rolled up, looking like I was going to have a big fight, and then they saw each other coming directly to Luoxi. The mouth is even more moving.

"Come in person? Lao You, I think you are making fun of me? Do you know what level of leadership can use the word in person? It must be at least the provincial party committee secretary or provincial governor. You can only use honorifics such as "in person" and "in person". I am just a district committee secretary walking around on my own territory, and I still need to use the word "in person"? Lao You and Lao Qin, are you implying that I am not here enough? "

"Hey! Secretary Ye, what are you talking about? How dare we two?" You Zhifu and Qin Hua said quickly, grinning and laughing sheepishly.

"Okay, no more nonsense, how is the situation?" I immediately got to the point.

"It's not good. The water level of the Yuexiu River has risen too fast. The rain has not stopped. The water in Luo Xi can't be drained anymore. There are several breaches on the river banks. Fortunately, they are not big. I have never encountered such a situation in Luo Xi. With such a high water level, if Director Liu hadn’t asked us to prepare and compact the water some time ago, problems would have arisen today.”

You Zhifu's face darkened and he said, "Just like that, several courtyards in two villages have been flooded. The losses are considerable. This year's rice crop is considered finished."

"Lao You, let's not talk about crops right now. First of all, ensure the safety of the people. Have all the old, weak, women and children been sent away? The yards that are expected to have problems should be evacuated first. I don't think we should leave anyone to guard them anymore. We really can't put the valuables away. Pack up your things and start evacuating tonight."

I felt a little frightened when I heard that the water from Luoxi River was pouring in. If it rains again one night, or the water level of the Yuexiu River upstream increases again, or even breaks the embankment, wouldn't something big happen?

"Secretary Ye, if we really want to evacuate, the workload will be huge. The four villages on both sides of Luoxi River, plus the two villages on the north bank of Yuexiu River, there are at least hundreds of courtyards. If we evacuate at any time, the people will also You can't agree! There are so many things at home, how can they be willing to leave?"

You Zhifu became anxious when he heard this, and said: "Besides, the situation is not that bad now. Even if Luoxi breaks out, that is, if the courtyard is soaked in water, there will be no big problem. We have already removed those mud houses and The thatched houses were cleared, and no one was allowed to live in these houses, and the old, weak, women and children were also moved to higher places in the town, and those who were left were almost all strong and capable, so nothing could happen to them."

"I'm afraid not. The situation in Luoxi is so bad. Once something happens to the Yuexiu River, there will be a vast ocean here. By then, it will be too late for you to move even if you want to move."

I glanced at Liu Yonggui, who was hesitant to speak, and asked, "Old Liu, what's your opinion?"

"Secretary Ye, if it's just Luo Xi, there won't be any big problem, but if something happens on the Yuexiu River, it's hard to say."

Liu Yonggui said carefully: "It's just that now we have to mobilize the people to move all the valuables. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, because we can't see anything now. This kind of situation has happened before, and the people can't think of it that far."

"Then what do you think is the possibility of something happening on the Yuexiu River?" I asked closely, my eyes fixed on Liu Yonggui.

Liu Yonggui was forced into a blind corner by me, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Canghua's preparation work is insufficient, and the foundation of the Yuexiu River embankment is not good. Even if it is repaired and reinforced later, it will be very difficult. We can only hope that the incoming water will not be too strong. The Mishan Reservoir is an old problem. Because of the huge cost of maintenance, the county has long felt that it is a burden. It has even leased the water surface to fish pond owners to raise fish. It has not been desilted for many years, and the capacity is probably even smaller.

To be honest, Secretary Ye, I have been restless these past two days, but that is also a matter of Canghua County, and I shouldn't talk too much. "

"Old Liu, this is not a matter of other counties. This is a major matter that affects the lives of thousands of people. Why are you so confused?" I said angrily.

"Secretary Ye, Canghua has done some remediation some time ago, including cleaning up the warehouse and strengthening it. I don't know the situation. I am just worried about their situation in the past two years. Without investigation, I have no right to speak. How can I Dare you draw random conclusions?" Liu Yonggui said, sighing.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Lao You and Lao Qin will start tonight. I will move the people in the nearest courtyards on the north bank of Yuexiu River and both sides of Luoxi River. Only bring valuables. We must start tonight! I brought them More than a hundred militiamen and thirty policemen will come and be divided into several groups. You can also organize the cadres in your town and take action immediately to choose a transfer location. If that doesn't work, contact neighboring towns and villages and move all places like schools and warehouses. Use it!"

I stopped talking nonsense at this time and directly issued the order. Once the Yuexiu River breached its embankment, it would really be a catastrophic disaster. He would rather be conservative and take the first step.

"Secretary Ye, for such a big thing, I'm afraid I have to report it to the city." Dong Shengli remained silent until he interrupted at this time.

"Yes! I know, I will report to Secretary Huang." I also know that I can't make the decision for such a large-scale transfer, unless it is an emergency, but the current situation has obviously not reached that situation. .

Dong Shengli stopped talking. He didn’t know how I could predict the flood so early, and it seemed that I had started to prepare for a rainy day early, from planning the construction of flood control embankments to preparing various materials and formulating various emergency plans. All of this has been prepared at least several months in advance.

Moreover, Dong Shengli also noticed that I seemed to be consciously instilling this idea in the whole city, that is, there may be another flood this year, which is a bit amazing.
