Seeing Liu Qingyu's face getting more and more ugly, Hong Sanjin's heart began to sink, especially since he could feel a strong murderous aura from Liu Qingyu's body. This murderous aura was like cold frost, making his whole body
Chilling, Hong Sanjin is a very flexible person. He knows that he must not offend Liu Qingyu who has achieved this position at a young age, so he rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Zhen
Chief, how about this? You can use my private car. Although the car is a bit broken, it can still be used."
Although Liu Qingyu was angry, he did not intend to explode immediately. He knew very well that now that he had just arrived in Guanshan Town, everything had to start from scratch. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to proceed step by step, from point to point, especially Hong San
Jin's words made Liu Qingyu relax a little. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then it's all Director Hong's fault. You go prepare the car and a big speaker. We'll meet downstairs in 15 minutes."
"After saying that, Liu Qingyu looked at the map on the table again and started thinking. Hong Sanjin wisely left immediately.
However, although Liu Qingyu temporarily calmed down his anger, he had already recorded this matter in his heart. If he had the chance, he would definitely get back this round, because Liu Qingyu had never surrendered to anyone.
Pass.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin met and got into Hong Sanjin's private car. Hong Sanjin asked: "Mayor Liu, where are we going?"
Liu Qingyu said without hesitation: "Go to Malan Village, which is relatively close to Guanshan Reservoir."
The car sped through the rain, drove toward Malan Village amidst lightning and thunder, and stopped in front of the village head Tian Laoshuan's house.
After the two got off the car, they directly opened the door of the village chief's house and walked in.
At this moment, the village chief Tian Laoshuan, who is in his 50s and has a wrinkled face, is sitting in the main room playing mahjong with a few people.
When he saw Liu Qingyu and the others walking in, he was stunned. Then Tian Laoshuan saw Hong Sanjin, director of the Government Office, and immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, isn't this Director Hong? Why is it raining so hard?
You came to my house? What are your instructions?"
Although Tian Laoshuan was smiling as he spoke, his tone did not show any respect for Hong Sanjin.
Several other people playing mahjong and those watching also burst into laughter.
Hong Sanjin knew that he had no prestige in the eyes of Tian Laoshuan and other village chiefs, so he could only look at Tian Laoshuan with a serious face and said: "Old Tian, this person next to me is the newly appointed Mayor Liu of Guanshan Town. I informed him before
Mayor Liu personally instructed me to carry out the evacuation and resettlement work in each of your villages and the reinforcement and protection work of the Guanshan Reservoir Dam. How are you preparing for your work now?" Hong Sanjin and Tian Laoshuan spoke in a completely business-like manner.
tone.
After Tian Laoshuan heard this, he just glanced at Liu Qingyu and found that Liu Qingyu was just a kid in his early twenties. When he looked at Liu Qingyu, there was a faint smile on his face, but deep in his eyes there was
Hidden with a strong sense of disdain, Lao Tiantou has been the village chief for many years and has seen a lot of things. In his opinion, most officials like Liu Qingyu are the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people who have come down to gild.
, was quickly transferred away, and had no ability at all, but Lao Tiantou knew very well that such a person must not be offended, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to Liu Qingyu and said: "Oh, it's Mayor Liu,
I really didn’t expect you to be so young. It’s a rainy day. I wonder what instructions you have for coming here in person in the rain?”
Liu Qingyu could only smile bitterly when he saw that Tian Laoshuan was still pretending to be confused in front of him until now. He knew very well that farmers have the wisdom of farmers. Tian Laoshuan has lived for such a long time and is definitely an old fox. He held Old Tian in his hand
Shuan shook his hand vigorously and said with a somewhat anxious voice: "Village Chief Tian, to be honest, I'm here to advise you to immediately organize the villagers to prepare for evacuation at any time to raise manpower to prepare to reinforce the Guanshan Reservoir Dam. I have already obtained a
Information, our Guanshan Town is likely to have continuous heavy rains in the past few days, and the situation is very critical. I hope you can cooperate with my work."
Liu Qingyu did not beat around the bush like Tian Laoshuan, and went straight to the point.
It’s time to meet Zhenzhang!
After listening to Liu Qingyu's words, Tian Laoshuan's face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Everyone's eyes were all fixed on Tian Laoshuan.
Tian Laoshuan was silent for a while, then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Qingyu and said, "Mayor Liu, it's not that I don't support your work, it's that I don't dare to support your work."
Liu Qingyu was stunned: "Why?"
Tian Laoshuan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, you may not know when you first come here, but our villagers in Malan Village have suffered a lot from the leaders of the town in the past few years. A few years ago, the town organized our villagers to grow mushrooms in greenhouses.
, it was said that as long as we planted it, we would be able to make a lot of money, and the town said that there would be a special trading company coming to our place to purchase. The town could provide a guarantee. At that time, we thought that the words of the town leaders were credible, so we
Each family pooled their money to build several mushroom greenhouses. A year later, there was a bumper harvest of mushrooms, but the mushroom harvesting company the town said never came. The town’s so-called guarantee also fell through, and we suffered heavy losses. Later,
The town organized us to plant apple trees again, and said that the town would be responsible for marketing and ensure that there would be no problems. This time, many people in our village were unwilling to plant apple trees. As a result, the town said that if we did not plant fruit trees, various agricultural subsidies would not be issued in the future.
, in desperation, we could only plant fruit trees. As a result, in the past few years, the apple harvest season has come, and the big red apples are all over the mountains and plains. They are crisp and sweet, but they cannot be transported out because of the inconvenient transportation, so they all rot in the trees.
Go up, Dili, Mayor Liu, you said that such things have happened one after another. Can we still believe the words of the town leaders? And you said that you want me to organize the villagers to prepare for evacuation. Do you think it is possible to organize an evacuation?
Moreover, the weather forecast says that tomorrow will only be cloudy, and today there will be heavy to heavy rain in some areas at most, so there is no danger to the reservoir at all. So Mayor Liu, please forgive me, I cannot accept your instructions."
After listening to Tian Laoshuan's words, Liu Qingyu felt tangled in his heart. He never thought that such a thing had been done in the town. He looked at Hong Sanjin next to him with a bit of questioning.
Hong Sanjin nodded with an embarrassed smile, proving that what Tian Laoshuan said was true.
Liu Qingyu was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, Village Chief Tian, since you have so many difficulties, I understand, and I won't force you, but I hope you can borrow the loudspeaker in my village. I hope you can use it in advance."
Do you think it’s okay to give the villagers a warning so that everyone can be mentally prepared?”
Liu Qingyu said it very sincerely. Naturally, Tian Laoshuan couldn't help but refute Liu Qingyu's face. He nodded, took Liu Qingyu to the house, turned on the small radio, asked Liu Qingyu to sit next to him, and motioned to Liu Qing
Yu can speak now.
Liu Qingyu took the microphone, pondered for a moment, and then began to speak. He talked about the meteorological information he had obtained about Guanshan Town, and talked about the pressure that the Guanshan Reservoir may bear once there is a continuous heavy rain.
After talking about the floods and crises that the village may suffer once the Guanshan Reservoir dam breaks, Liu Qingyu also told the villagers that Qin Ruijie, deputy secretary of the town committee, has led people to set up tents near Tianwangling in the east of the town.
It was suggested that the villagers who wanted to be transferred could go to relatives and friends, or go to Tianwangling for resettlement. After finishing speaking, Liu Qingyu stood up and looked at Tian Laoshuan and said: "Village Chief Tian, I know that I, the new mayor, took office before
You village party secretaries and village chiefs don’t have much authority in your eyes, but I want to tell you that everything I say is true. I sincerely hope that the villagers will no longer be harmed by a big disaster like a flood. I will
I still have to go to other villages for publicity. After the publicity is over, I will always be stationed at the dam. I hope that Village Chief Tian will carefully consider my opinion. I'm leaving." After saying that, Liu Qingyu walked out with his head held high and his chest high.
Big raindrops pitter-pattered on Liu Qingyu's head and body. Liu Qingyu didn't dodge at all and walked directly towards the car. Hong Sanjin followed closely behind Liu Qingyu, holding an umbrella.
Watching Liu Qingyu's leaving figure, Tian Laoshuan fell into deep thought: "Does this new mayor really want to do something for us people?"
At this moment, Liu Qingyu, who got into the car, was not very angry. Although Tian Laoshuan's tone was not very friendly, Liu Qingyu understood him very well, because he understood in his heart that although Tian Laoshuan was a little disrespectful to him, he was
This attitude is responsible for the people in the village. As a leader, you must have this kind of tolerance.
After Hong Sanjin got in the car, he immediately said to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, don't be angry. These village chiefs and party secretaries are all thieves. It's hard to control them without any benefit. How about we go back first?
?”
Liu Qingyu shook his head, "It's normal to encounter some difficulties in doing things. Let's continue walking to the next village and go to Meng'er Village next door. We will continue to do the work of the village chief and the villagers. At least let the villagers know that in Tianwangling
There are tents there so that if a crisis occurs, the villagers will not be at a loss and will have psychological preparation and expectations."
Hong Sanjin was very depressed and felt very unhappy about being caught as a young man, but he had no choice but to go into battle because he was the director of the town government office.
Next, Hong Sanjin and Liu Qingyu visited all 25 administrative villages one by one. By the time they finished, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They didn't even have lunch, and Liu Qingyu's voice was already gone.
Hoarse. After completing the last village tour, Hong Sanjin looked at Liu Qingyu and said, "Mayor Liu, should we go back?"
Liu Qingyu waved his hand, "I can't go back. Since no village is willing to respond to my call now, then I will go into battle naked. If they don't come, I will be responsible for strengthening the dam alone. I will try my best and use as much strength as I can."
.”
Later, Liu Qingyu took Hong Sanjin to the town to buy shovels, pickaxes, sacks, raincoats and other supplies, and asked Hong Sanjin to drive straight to the Guanshan Reservoir Dam.
After arriving at the dam, Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin inspected the area. Liu Qingyu found a section of the river where the dam seemed to be relatively fragile, and started driving piles and getting busy moving sand and soil.
The heavy rain kept falling, and the raincoats could not block the pouring rain. Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin's bodies were all wet. Later, Hong Sanjin's body couldn't bear it anymore, and Liu Qingyu asked him to go back to the car to rest.
And he himself continues to struggle on the dam.
The night was getting dark, and Liu Qingyu's body gradually became hazy. Sweat and rain were mixed on Liu Qingyu's face, and they were no longer distinguishable. Liu Qingyu's hands and feet had already been soaked in the rain and turned a little white.
But he still persisted.
The river water on the dam continues to rise.
At this moment, in Malan Village, which is closest to the dam, the village chief Tian Laoshuan found that the heavy rain had been falling all day and there was no sign of stopping. He couldn't sit still and immediately said hello to his family.
Tian Xiaoshuan, the superior's son, and several young people in the village climbed onto the dam together.
Tian Laoshuan knew the situation of the dam well, and he wasted no time in finding the fragile section of the embankment that Liu Qingyu was reinforcing. When he saw that many tree stumps had been dug down and many sacks were piled up in this section of the embankment, it was...
Startled.
At this time, Tian Xiaoshuan suddenly shouted: "Dad, the water level has been rising, and it is less than 1 meter away from the warning level. The water level in Guanshan River is more than one meter higher than before the rain. The situation is a bit dangerous.
.”
Tian Laoshuan had discovered this situation a long time ago. At this moment, he began to think of what Liu Qingyu said and frowned tightly. Until now, he had not seen Liu Qingyu's shadow.
In his opinion, Liu Qingyu's statement that he would personally station himself at the dam was probably just empty talk.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, mixed with the patter of feet walking in the mud, and the sound of heavy breathing gradually became clearly audible. Tian Xiaoshuan's flashlight shined in the direction of the sound.
Under the light, Liu Qingyu walked over with difficulty carrying a large bag of gravel on his shoulders.
Tian Laoshuan also looked at the light, and everyone was stunned. They never thought that Liu Qingyu actually kept his promise, looking at the wooden piles and dozens of wooden piles under the dam.
Everyone was shocked by the reinforced embankment section where sacks were piled up.
There was a trace of disbelief in Tian Laoshuan's eyes. He did not expect that the newly appointed mayor had no airs at all and was actually working in obscurity.
Liu Qingyu also saw Tian Laoshuan and others at this time, but he did not speak, but silently put the sacks away, picked up another empty sack, and walked towards the other side of the dam to fill with sand and gravel.
Go.
At this moment, the rain is falling harder. Liu Qingyu will slip after taking a few steps. Below the dam, the river water is also rising crazily. Crisis may happen at any time. However, for this situation, Liu Qingyu
But it seemed as if he didn't see it at all and was still busy silently.
