After leaving Cangshan City, Liu Qingyu went directly to Liaoyuan City, the capital of Baiyun Province.
Considering that there were still two days left before the date of reporting to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department mentioned in the notice, Liu Qingyu was not in a hurry to report, but decided to take advantage of these two days to go to Dongjiang City for a tour. Have some understanding of the situation in Dongjiang City.
Liu Qingyu first opened a room in the Xinyuan Hotel, and after putting all his belongings in the room, Liu Qingyu went out and took a taxi to the long-distance bus station, and got on the bus from Liaoyuan City to Dongjiang City. , after the car started, Liu Qingyu began to close his eyes and rest.
Liaoyuan City is almost 100 kilometers away from Dongjiang City. Under normal circumstances, it can be reached in about 2 hours by car and on the highway. Liu Qingyu has long understood these situations.
However, 2 hours later, Liu Qingyu was woken up by the violent jolts of the car body. He looked at his watch and found that it had been more than 2 hours since he set off. However, he looked out the window and found that there was no sign yet. Seeing a little shadow of Dongjiang City's urban area, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frown. Although Dongjiang City is a county-level city, it stands to reason that it has been more than two hours. No matter what, you can still see Dongjiang City. Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frown. Qingyu carefully observed some shop signs and wall advertisements on the roadside, and found that he had indeed entered Dongjiang City, but still had not arrived. Liu Qingyu carefully observed that the car was now Walking through villages, there is a highway not far from the villages.
Liu Qingyu couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart, and said to a fellow villager next to him: "fellow fellow, didn't this car always take the highway from Liaoyuan City to Dongjiang City? Why did it take the small road in the village when it got here?"
When the fellow heard Liu Qingyu's question, he smiled and said: "Little brother, this must be your first time riding this train. Let me tell you, this driver is not willing to walk on these trails, but he is also There is no way. After entering Dongjiang City, this expressway is no more than 20 kilometers away, and you have to take the off-road, otherwise you will not be able to pass at all."
Liu Qingyu was stunned: "Isn't there a highway ahead? Why can't I pass it?"
When the fellow heard Liu Qingyu's question, he immediately said with a trace of anger on his face: "Yes, it is true that there is a highway, but if it cannot support the highway, it is a shoddy project. This highway has not been able to operate since it was opened to traffic in September last year." Within three months, many road sections began to appear damaged and full of potholes. The road administration was almost busy, with minor repairs every three days and one major repair every five days. From then on, there was not a week without work, basically from Since February this year, the ten-kilometer section of the expressway built by Liaoyuan Tianhong Construction has become very difficult to pass, especially small cars, which often have problems, but larger cars are better off.
However, one month ago, the Dongjiang Reservoir upstream, which was constructed and renovated by Tianhong Construction Engineering, suddenly burst its banks. Farmland in many towns and villages downstream was flooded. The section of highway built by other companies that was directly affected by the floods was flooded a little later. There are no problems, but the one built by Tianhong Construction did not face the flood. It was only slightly washed away by the diverted flood. 6 kilometers of the ten-kilometer highway collapsed, and the other 4 kilometers were damaged from the previous 6-kilometer section due to floods. We went up there, so there is no problem when we arrive.”
After Liu Qingyu heard this, his face darkened and he asked: "Is there no one at Tianhong Construction to take care of such a serious road accident?"
"Who dares to take care of it? Tianhong Construction has people in the city and connections in the county. No ordinary people dare to ask about this matter. Some media reporters once heard the news and came to interview, but then a reporter died suddenly. Since then, no reporter has been willing to come here, and there are always people patrolling along the six-kilometer section no matter it is day or night. Anyone who dares to bring a mobile phone, camera or other things close will be beaten, even if It’s the local people who don’t dare to go near that section of Highway 6.” The fellow said this with a very helpless look on his face.
Liu Qingyu said with some shock: "Fellow, why are Tianhong Construction so arrogant? Didn't anyone from the Dongjiang City County Party Committee and County Government come forward to investigate this matter? Is this section of the highway in such bad condition?"
The fellow sighed and said: "How is that possible? I heard that the county had already announced a bidding process to rebuild a 10-kilometer highway half a month ago. According to rumors, Tianhong Construction has signed up to participate in this bidding. If it does not come out, If something unexpected happens, Tianhong Construction will still be responsible for this reconstruction section."
"What, Tianhong Construction is still responsible. Could it be that the washed-out road had such a serious problem? Couldn't the leaders of Dongjiang City see that? Don't they know that the problem on the section of road built by Tianhong Construction was very serious? Why are they still allowed to participate in this bidding?" At this time, Liu Qingyu was really shocked.
The fellow sighed and said: "Even an ordinary citizen like me can see such things clearly, but the problem is that the leaders of Dongjiang City cannot see clearly. After a so-called thorough investigation, they announced on the city news broadcast that This section of the road was washed away because the impact of the flood was too strong. It has nothing to do with Tianhong Construction. These days, officials are protecting each other and officials and businessmen are colluding. The most miserable thing is us people. Each person in our village has been taxed this year. The fee is 50 yuan per person. If you don’t pay, we won’t give out various subsidies, hey.”
When he said this, the fellow villager let out a long sigh and seemed very helpless.
This fellow looks to be in his thirties and is very talkative. Although his clothes are not as elegant as those in the city, he looks like a rural person. However, Liu Qingyu analyzed the other person's clothes and concluded that this fellow should be a businessman. , otherwise I wouldn’t know so much about things in the city.
Hearing the helpless sigh from the fellow villager, Liu Qingyu felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by an awl, stinging deeply. Although he has not yet officially taken up the post of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Dongjiang City, he has already After having some preliminary understanding of the problems in Dongjiang City, he finally understood why even the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zeng Hongtao paid so much attention to Dongjiang City. It seemed that the problems in Dongjiang City were not at all. Liu Qingyu couldn't figure it out. Such a serious construction quality incident may even be suspected of malfeasance by some officials. However, no media reported the matter, no one responsible was dealt with, and the final investigation result was only caused by flooding. So another deeply Questions arose in Liu Qingyu's mind again, why did the Dongjiang Reservoir burst its banks since it had just been renovated a year ago.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu looked at the fellow and said, "fellow, it rained for a few days when the Dongjiang Reservoir burst its banks."
The fellow recalled briefly and said: "It rained for half a day that time. Although the rain was heavy, under normal circumstances, the reservoir should not burst because before the reservoir was renovated, heavy rains of similar magnitude would occur almost every year. There have been a few games, but there have never been any problems, but since it was renovated, it only broke once after being lowered once."
After hearing this, Liu Qingyu's face became even more gloomy. He never expected that such a thing would happen. At this time, the fellow seemed to be a little uninterested and looked out the window.
The car continued to move forward, but Liu Qingyu's heart gradually sank as the car bumped.
The floods that burst the embankments, the submerged villages and farmland along the coast, and the washed-out highways are all related to the company named Tianhong Construction. Even ordinary people can see clearly. Why can't the city leaders of Dongjiang City see clearly? Why doesn't anyone stand up and say something? It's understandable that the media in Dongjiang City are silent about this matter, but why are the media in Liaoyuan City also silent? Baiyun As for the provincial media, how come such a serious liability accident was not reported at all.
A ten-kilometer expressway costs at least 50 to 60 million per kilometer. These ten kilometers are 50 to 60 million. Is this money just wasted like that? What Liu Qingyu can’t figure out the most is , Dongjiang City is actually preparing to re-invite bids to rebuild this section of road, and Tianhong Construction Engineering actually wants to participate in this bidding again. If Tianhong Construction Engineering really wins the bid again this time, then the problems here are too big. Seriously, the money coming in and going out is billions of dollars. Doesn’t anyone in Dongjiang City’s municipal party committee have any objections to this?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu felt even heavier.
At this moment, the fellow suddenly patted Liu Qingyu on the shoulder and said: "Little brother, if you don't see it over there, it is the combination of the six-kilometer section of highway that was destroyed by the flood and the remaining four-kilometer section. Look, there are several people patrolling almost every three to four hundred meters along the line. They are nominally conducting construction inspections, but in fact they are just to prevent anyone from approaching for investigation."
Liu Qingyu looked in the direction of the fellow's finger and found that the actual situation was exactly as the fellow said. There was a prefabricated house built at the junction of the sections and three or four hundred meters apart. Under the umbrella, four people were sitting playing cards.
Liu Qingyu's heart moved. Although Liu Qingyu was not a major in infrastructure construction, he still understood the highway construction process. He immediately said hello to the driver, and then the driver stopped, and he walked towards the section. .
At this time, the fellow took a taxi and shouted to Liu Qingyu from the car window: "Little brother, you must not get close to them, they are very cruel."
