Chapter 762 Changlong Xianjiang, ascending to Baoyu!
Baoyu County Longji River.
In the middle of the entire New World, there is a surging river that spans the north and south. This river is shaped like a giant dragon, winding and flowing through tens of thousands of territories, providing sufficient water supply for the creatures along the way. It is affectionately named 'Changlongxian' by humans.
River'.
The section that passes through Baoyu County in Tianyuan Territory is located at the Dragon's Back when viewed from a high altitude, so it is naturally named Longji River.
The Longji River is magnificent and wide, and it is surging continuously. It is 60 meters wide in the wide part and as much as 40 meters in the narrow part. There are countless fish swimming in it and it is rich in aquatic products. It is a natural granary of fish and rice.
As for Baoyu County and even the surrounding villages and towns, they are built on both sides of the river because they rely on mountains and water.
"County Magistrate Su, starting from here, we enter our Baoyu County area!"
At this time, the train was crossing the bridge over the Longji River at a low speed of ten kilometers per hour.
Looking out the window, the river under the bridge flows very fast, like a hanging river pouring water straight to the end of the field of vision.
On the river, there were more than a dozen wooden boats floating precariously with the current, struggling to find balance in the waves.
Sumo stood close to the window and looked around at the situation on both sides of the river. As expected, there were many more residential houses and paddy fields than before.
"Minister Hu, the Longji River seems to be more dangerous than the outside rumors say?" he asked in a deep voice.
"County Magistrate Su really has a keen eye." Hu Yuanyong, who was in charge of the introduction next to him, nodded slightly, with a strange look on his face.
He is the director of the Materials Department of Baoyu County.
Last night, almost all department heads in Baoyu County received news that a new manager was coming, as well as the new manager's previous identity information.
After learning that this "airborne county magistrate" was previously a free-market electronics worker who only made a small fortune during the summer harvest, most people, although not scornful, still had a somewhat salty attitude.
As the night passed, people went to work and went on business trips, and no one even thought of coming to greet Magistrate Su in advance.
Only he is different.
As one of the many sons-in-law of the Chen family, he knew very well how terrifying the background of County Magistrate Su before him was.
Even before dawn, he took a train to Tianyuan Railway Station early, inquired about the train schedule in advance, and waited patiently in the car.
The reason is to leave a good impression on County Magistrate Su.
"The weather is hot. There have been three days of hail in the New World a few days ago. The hail in the interior melted and entered the earth to provide moisture. However, the hail on both sides melted into the Changlong Xianjiang River, making the water flow faster and faster, and the height of the water surface also increased.
Higher and higher”
"In addition, various disasters have been frequent over the years, and soil erosion on both sides of the strait has been serious. We do not have enough infrastructure to consolidate a dam, so we can only rely on the Baoyu Reservoir at the source to control the flow rate. In addition, we were holding a meeting yesterday to discuss whether
We need to temporarily evacuate the villagers on both sides of the strait, otherwise if there is another flood coming from the upstream, the consequences may be disastrous!"
"So that's it." Su Mo nodded slightly, and his understanding of Baoyu County suddenly deepened.
Flood.
Not to mention in this wasteland with frequent disasters, even in the civilized era with full infrastructure, we can encounter it almost every year.
Looking back at ancient times, a flood would often take away the efforts of a generation along the line.
The reason why Baoyu County is declining is absolutely inseparable from the Longji River becoming more and more raging!
“How did the county respond to situations like this in the past?”
"In the past?" Hu Yuanyong pondered for a while: "In the past, when the storage capacity of the Baoyu Reservoir reached about 70%, in order to prevent accidental collapse of the reservoir, we would start to discharge the water downstream, introducing the water from the Longji River into the Qingshui River next to it.
River, Lianhua River, and at the same time, residents on both sides of the strait will be notified in advance to help them transfer their belongings, and then return to normal life after the water level recedes to a certain level."
"How much is the storage capacity now?" Seizing the key point, Sumo asked again.
"Yesterday it was 49.5%. According to the reported flow rate, it should be about 55% today. It is expected to hit 70% of the reservoir line within seven days. But this time it is just the hail melting, not a big problem." Hu Yuanyong smiled, and then
Pointing to the fishing boats on the river: "These fishermen's perception of water potential is much more accurate than data. They can predict future changes in water flow just by looking at the behavior of fish under the water."
"As long as they are still fishing on the river, it means that the current situation is far from reaching the limit of the Longji River!"
"Indeed, Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, these people living by the water are really smart." Wang Qian, who was sitting next to him, also added: "The Longxian River crisscrosses the wasteland, and the upstream releases floods. There are definitely a lot of big fish washed down."
"If we miss this opportunity and wait until the water enters tributaries such as the Qingshui River and the Lianhua River, it will be time to build other surrounding small and medium-sized territories!"
"Well, it makes sense." Sumo nodded slightly, neither denying nor continuing the topic.
Those things that could not be seen in the data or could not be clearly understood were suddenly revealed after only half a day of on-the-spot investigation.
Why has Baoyu County’s fishery never developed?
It has nothing to do with the fact that the fish species in the data are not good, there are very few fishermen, there is no policy support, and there are no good managers.
With this kind of water flow environment and this kind of infrastructure, we can't ask fishermen to spend several years building dams and reservoirs themselves, right?
It's very likely that at the beginning, some people wanted to turn this place into a constant cornucopia with a steady supply of fish.
But as time goes by, when it is discovered that the investment and the gains are completely disproportionate, naturally more and more people will hold the idea of buying and selling in one shot.
"Build a dam? Or build a reservoir?"
"But whether it's the territory or me, there are still three to five years to wait for these infrastructures to be put in place."
Su Mo understood clearly in his heart, and instantly understood why the territory had been reluctant to develop Baoyu County as a focus over the years.
It's not a financial problem or a technical problem.
Time is the knife that looks dull but is actually the sharpest.
Disasters are so frequent that no one dares to build a building that takes a long time to complete.
Once you encounter a disaster like a major earthquake that can affect the entire New World, it means that all the upfront investment will be sunk.
This is definitely a fact that no lord dares to face directly.
"Mr. Su, our Baoyu Station is right in front of us."
After crossing the bridge and walking for about half an hour, buildings made of concrete appeared in sight.
Compared with Tianyuan Station, Baoyu Station is obviously much poorer, with only bungalows and two-story buildings beside the tracks.
Even the platforms on both sides of the track were completely open-air, scorched by the harsh sunlight, and not a single soul could be seen.
However, as the train slowly entered the station, more than twenty figures in light green short-sleeved shorts and more than a dozen middle-aged men in formal attire quickly appeared in the bungalow.
There are both men and women in the light green group, and they are not restricted. They all wear a straw hat to block the sun, and their exposed skin is also covered with a layer of light black ice gauze to protect them from the sun.
The group of people wearing formal attire next to them were obviously much more serious.
On a hot day, they were still dressed in black sportswear, standing neatly together, moving their eyes as the train moved forward.
The person taking the lead was a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure and a slightly protruding belly.
This man had a clear beard and was about 1.8 meters tall. On his waist, a black pistol could be clearly seen emitting bursts of cold light.
And to be able to bring guns here so obviously.
"The Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Baoyu County, Zhang Zhongyuan, together with a group of officers from the Armed Forces Department, welcome the arrival of County Magistrate Su, and welcome the arrival of Captain Wang." As soon as the train stopped, Su Mo took a step forward, and the middle-aged man immediately approached.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to put down their luggage and quickly return the favor.
"Hey, Minister Zhang also came to pick up our new county magistrate today. It seems that our county magistrate's itinerary has not been kept confidential!" Hu Yuanyong also walked out from behind. When he saw Zhang Zhongyuan, he was stunned at first, and then
Laughed loudly.
In the Tianyuan territory, the administration is well-organized, and members of the Chen family are distributed all over the place to "monitor" at all times. There are no cliques or corruption at all.
But looking at the past, there are managers who can use their connections to hold the material department and the armed forces department of a county in their hands before they officially take office.
Somo is really the first one.
"It's been three years since we were separated. Zhongyuan seems to be doing well." Wang Qian came out, and the two held hands together excitedly: "How about it, are you getting used to the life after retirement?"
"Habit? No, no, no, I always think about returning to our northern military region, and then follow the commander to conquer the world. This damn Baoyu County, I will be rusty here." Seeing an acquaintance, the two chatted decisively.
stand up.
Sumo was at the side, and he met the group of green short-sleeved people waiting aside.
"Brother Su, if you don't come again, I really have to go to Sangtian Town to see what attracts you!" Walking quickly, the leader, Green T-shirt, took off his straw hat, revealing a familiar face.
It was Sun Quan who had been away for more than ten days!
As soon as he came up, he first put his fist on Somo's shoulder affectionately, and then took the initiative to give him a hug.
"How about it? Are you used to living in Baoyu County these days?"
"Get used to it, why aren't you used to it? It's much more interesting here than Sangtian Town." Standing separately, a trace of excitement flashed across Sun Quan's dark face.
Only half a month has passed, and now he is obviously darker, but correspondingly, his originally thin body has become slightly stronger.
Moreover, compared with these physical changes, the psychological changes made Sun Quan's whole body seem to be radiating confidence.
"Su Su Youzong, you're here!" Zhang Min on the side also took off his straw hat and walked up, greeting with a slight stutter.
After spending some time in the sun, Zhang Min's snow-white complexion gradually turned into a healthy wheat color.
Coupled with her exquisite facial features and the protein supplement she has not lacked for a long time, she is even more beautiful now than before.
Everyone will have more tolerance for such people.
Even though Somo was not from the Appearance Association, the last remaining grudge in her heart couldn't help but dissipate after she finished speaking.
"I have already finished handling the Liangfang side, and I have asked Mayor Chen to look after the remaining shops for us. In the days to come, this will be our new base camp!"
"Let's go. I see the letters you send back every day saying how well prepared they are. Now I have to go and see with my own eyes."
Seeing Wang Qian waving in front, Sumo smiled and joked a few words, and the group began to follow the signs above their heads to exit the station.
only.
Baoyu Station, which is supposed to be a major transportation thoroughfare, was sparsely populated. It was clearly noon, but there was not a single passenger at all.
There were only three station employees who saw everyone walking out. They stood up from a distance and paid attention respectfully.
"Is it because I came here today to impose martial law, or is there not many people here in the past?" After walking outside the station without seeing anyone, Sumo finally couldn't help but turned his head and asked.
The surrounding areas of Baoyu County were desolate, but he could still understand it somewhat.
But when we arrived near the station, it still looked desolate, which was completely different from the information.
According to what Sun Quan had collected before, even if Baoyu County doesn't have many foreign tourists, there are still a lot of goods coming in and out here.
Nowadays, let alone goods, it’s people
"How should I put it?" Sun Quan was slightly confused: "Brother Su, there is indeed nothing wrong with the things recorded in the data, but we have overlooked a key thing."
"Time!" Sun Quan spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "The information that can be collected is from a year ago. This year has passed, and Baoyu County has developed under the influence of the policies formulated by the previous administrator.
It’s getting worse and worse. I really can’t explain in a few words what has changed and what has not changed. Anyway, you will know when you go to the county town!”
"Can't you explain?" Su Mo was stunned. What is going on?
He wanted to ask again.
But suddenly three buses drove up ahead.
I had no choice but to keep these questions in my mind, get on the car, and stagger towards Baoyu County.
It is hoped that the asphalt roads near Hope City can be repaired within three days even if there are big holes in them due to hail.
But Baoyu County is not so quick. Even after nearly half a month, there are still many potholes on the road.
Like a boat bumping on the water.
After shaking for more than an hour, a sparse city cluster slowly appeared on the land.
"Baoyu County is ahead." Sun Quan lowered his voice.
Sumo raised his head and looked forward.
The bus has now arrived at the outermost edge of Baoyu County, and it will approach the ten-meter stone brick wall in another two to three minutes.
Because it is located at the outermost edge of Tianyuan territory, the predecessor of Baoyu County was a bunker used to defend the outside world.
On its wall, there are densely packed black iron thorns mixed in the stone cracks, emitting a cold light.
In the middle of the wall, there was an arched city gate gap, and many people were rushing in and out at this time.
Along this straight road, under the curious eyes of the people around, the bus slowly drove into the door.
Behind the door, it suddenly becomes clear.
Most of the buildings surrounded by walls are two- and three-story buildings, and it is rare to see buildings higher than four stories.
Compared to the tall and tall Hope City, this place is actually more down-to-earth.
Vendors with street stalls can be seen everywhere along the road, as well as shops with their doors open and calling for business.
Through the gap in the car window, Sumo even smelled a lot of familiar food smells from the civilized era.
"This is the old city of Baoyu County. It is a city that was renovated from a former bunker. Most of the people living in it are aborigines and some people who came from other places in Baoyu County." Seeing Sumo's curiosity, Hu Yuan used to
He came forward and took over the responsibility of the tour guide.
“The old city mainly focuses on life, transactions, and entertainment.”
"Going inside is the new city we will build later, focusing on... urban development!"
Walk straight along this road and you will be able to drive out of another city gate after a while.
And now, Sumo really saw clearly the true face of "Baoyu County" recorded in the previous information!
There are no tall walls or old buildings.
The new town in Baoyu County is like a patch on the ground, with various fish ponds dug out everywhere.
Various strange fish ponds just occupy each plot of land, surrounded by dense dark green woodlands.
A large number of gray-brown birds flew above the fish pond.
Right in front of each fish pond are the colorful residences built by the fishermen themselves.
"Well, this is a policy issued by the previous administrator to revive our fishery in Baoyu County!"
Hu Yuanyong felt embarrassed when Su Mo glanced at him with strange eyes.
There are many factors that prevent Baoyu County from developing, among which the manager cannot be ignored.
After several rounds of attempts failed to attract investment in the factory, the previous manager simply broke the pot and came up with a policy where everyone can fish.
Let’s not mention the effectiveness of this policy.
Just dealing with the mess left behind is enough to make anyone who tries to buy a manager's identity back off!
