Excellent little farmer

Hao Liqun said no more and said, "The main city seems to be over there in Xijiang District, right? Why do you dare to boast about the main city?"

"In Xijiang District, in the early stage, both urban and municipal levels allocated special funds to the main urban area to heighten and reinforce embankment facilities, so I am sure of this, but Secretary Hao also knows that Huaian's finances are limited, so..."

Before Shu Zhigao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hao Liqun, saying: "Okay, I'm not here to listen to you crying about poverty at this time. I just need a definite guarantee from you. Since the problem in Xijiang District is not big, then Lao Wang , the Zhouqiao Regiment will focus its main energy on Canghua County and Dongjiang District."

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Hao Liqun and his party were at the Canghua meeting with Wu Guoqun and Huang Ling.

The situation in Canghua was extremely severe. Three thousand people were trapped in the four affected towns. The rescue work was carried out extremely slowly before the arrival of the Zhouqiao troops. Fortunately, Xijiang provided two rubber boats, and Huang Ling was barely rescued in Wu Guoqun. The embarrassment in front of me.

The number of dead and missing people in Canghua has not yet been counted. Although the flood level has not risen again, according to the weather forecast in the Wuling Mountain area, there is still the possibility of another heavy rain. This makes everyone present feel depressed. boulders.

At 5 p.m., Wen Guoji, Vice Premier of the State Council and Commander-in-Chief of National Flood Control and Drought Relief, led Yang Tianming, Minister of Water Resources, and his party from Taiping Airport to Huai'an. At 8:30 p.m., Vice Premier Wen and his party arrived in Huai'an City for on-site inspection and rescue operations. Disaster relief situation.

That night, heavy rain fell again in the Wuling Mountain area. The water levels of the Wujiang River and Yuexiu River once again rose to the highest level on record. The Cuihe River embankment was in danger, with three embankments breaching. Fortunately, they were discovered and blocked in time, but one embankment breach still caused serious damage. A town in Dongjiang District was affected.

In the afternoon of the next day, Vice Premier Wen and his delegation arrived at the Canghua site to direct emergency rescue and disaster relief, and met with Hao Liqun and Wu Guoqun.

A Zhouqiao brigade reinforced by the Yangcheng Military Region through air and rail transportation, and two other regiments of field troops stationed in Jiangzhou Province, also arrived in Huai'an to launch large-scale rescue and disaster relief operations, while the rainfall in the Wuling Mountains gradually turned from heavy to heavy. weaken.

My face looked a little gloomy. After several days of emergency rescue and disaster relief, I could only sleep for an hour every night. Fortunately, my physical fitness was already good, and I meditated for an hour every day to adjust my breath.

Zeng Lingchun, Wei Xiaolan, Dong Shengli, Huo Yunda and other district leaders were all out of shape by this time and could no longer hold on. After the situation in Xijiang gradually stabilized, I asked them to take turns to rest, while I still He took Luo Yucheng and deputy district chief Shi Gang together to inspect the Yuexiu River embankment.

Although the rain has stopped, the water level is still running at a high level. The embankment plugging in the Canghua section of the upper reaches is still in full swing. However, due to the large amount of water, the progress is not smooth. Fortunately, with the participation of the troops, the This allowed Cang Hua to take a breath.

"Secretary Ye, Secretary Luo, after this incident, it will be difficult for us in Huai'an to recover for at least two or three years."

Rongsheng is a fat black man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He has been the deputy director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, the mayor of a township, and the secretary of the party committee. Finally, he returned to the head of the Bureau of Land and Resources, and then became the deputy district chief.

"This season's crops are finished, but fortunately the damage in our Xijiang District is still in several rural villages in the south. If the central and provincial disaster relief funds can be received in time, I think at least our Xijiang will not be so bad."

Luo Yucheng nodded and said: "Didn't Premier Wen say that the central government pays close attention to it, and people across the country are very concerned about the flood control work in Jiangzhou and even the entire Yangtze River Basin."

"The flood has indeed brought us a lot of losses, but for Xijiang, this may be an opportunity. After the flood, the country and the province will definitely favor our Huai'an and our Xijiang in terms of funds and policies. If we If we can seize this opportunity, it may be a good opportunity for development.”

I took a deep breath, stared forward, and said: "We can only recover the losses caused by disasters through development. This is my idea. I also made this opinion clear when reporting to Premier Wen. "

Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng were both pondering the meaning of my words.

In fact, both of them were extremely shocked by my almost miraculous prediction. Regarding the district government's subsidy and funding to strengthen and raise the Wujiang embankment, and the district's finance fully funding the reconstruction of the Yuexiu River embankment, there was considerable disagreement within the district committee and the district government. Ling Xiao, Wang Yi, and He Tong, Shi Gang, and Rong Sheng from the district government are all opposed to this approach, which is almost a waste.

It's just that I don't know how I persuaded Zeng Lingchun, so that the voices that originally wanted to boycott this approach and objected were forcibly suppressed. But now all this seems to only prove my foresight and foresight.

Xijiang District has performed extremely well in terms of disaster prevention and relief, which makes Dongjiang District and Canghua County, both severely affected areas, particularly miserable.

Although official data on the number of dead and missing people in Dongjiang District and Canghua County has not yet been released, it can be expected that in both Dongjiang District and Canghua County, the number of dead and missing people should not be less than thirty or fifty, while in Xijiang District However, the perfect performance without a single death or disappearance highlighted the leadership and organizational capabilities of the Xijiang District Party Committee and District Government.

Yan Rantian, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee who came with Vice Premier Wen, spoke highly of the disaster prevention and relief performance of Xijiang District, and made unprecedented severe criticism of the disaster prevention and relief situation of Dongjiang District, and clearly stated that relevant The department carefully searched for the cause and held those responsible accountable. These words made the Dongjiang District Party Committee Secretary Yu Deshou and the district chief Ou Xiubin tremble with fear.

Both Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng knew that I had successfully won the recognition of officials at all levels, including the deputy prime minister, with my performance in this flood battle. Although it was not clear yet what the attitudes of Hao Liqun and Wu Guoqun were, they were facing The hard facts are enough for anyone to admit that the cadres and masses of Xijiang District performed outstandingly in this flood. The source of the outstanding performance of the cadres and the masses is of course the effective leadership of the district committee and the district government headed by me.

Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the guy in front of him would be promoted and reused. All the leaders of the district committee and district government, including Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng, had no objection to this understanding. Rongsheng even suspected this guy. Will it directly replace Shu Zhigao, or at least Bao Qingjiang's position?

While everyone is still thinking about how to fight floods and provide disaster relief, the district party committee secretary is already thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunities that this flood may bring to develop Xijiang's economy.

Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng couldn't adapt to such drastic leaps in thinking and working methods. This guy's mind was so smart that it was difficult for others to catch up with his way of thinking, and they could only follow him step by step. Work ideas, strive to catch up.

There are still many people standing on the embankment, especially inside and outside the embankment near Canghua area. There are also quite a few militia reservists keeping an eye on the changes in water conditions. The flood water overflowing from the south outside the embankment has reached a depth of more than one meter. But as the rain stopped, the water level of the violent Yuexiu River finally stabilized and stopped rising, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The sky that has been hazy for many days seems to have finally become brighter. Although the clear blue sky has not yet been seen, this is already a good sign.

Just when I noticed a station wagon driving up along the embankment, there was a sudden noise on the embankment in front of the upstream, which suddenly attracted the attention of me, Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng.

"What's going on?"

Several people and a dozen reserve militiamen stationed nearby stood up and looked forward. Soon everyone's eyes were focused on a dark shadow that sank and floated on the wide undulating water.

Some people in front were running down, but the black shadow in the river made everyone feel terrified!

About a hundred meters away from the river bank, two human heads clinging to a log were flowing down the water. The flow was very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, the black shadow had floated to the point where it was almost with me and the others. There were several people sitting parallel to each other. Looking from a distance, one could barely tell that two women were clinging to a wooden beam. Maybe it was because they had been floating for too long, or maybe they had no strength left and were calling for help. The undulating figure looked so isolated and helpless.

One hundred meters seems very light, but in such a raging flood situation, no matter how good your water skills are, you would not dare to take such a risk.

A few kilometers down from here is the intersection of Yuexiu River and Wujiang River. In other words, in maybe ten minutes, you may be swept into the mighty Wujiang River. At this time, it is almost evening and you will be swept into the mighty Wujiang River. Entering the Wujiang River basically declares that you will never climb ashore again.

Most of the dozen or so people who followed him were reserve militiamen. Although they were chasing, no one easily jumped into the water to save others. In such extremely harsh and dangerous water conditions, everyone knows that if you go down, you may never come back up again. Acting bravely is often based on ensuring your own life. Whether it is to sacrifice one's life for righteousness or to risk one's own life, in the specific case In practice, it still burns people's moral bottom line.
