They left as soon as they could. That night, Liang Jian and Chen Jie finalized the route, and then early the next morning, they set off quietly without telling anyone, including Lou Jiangyuan.
Those in the Municipal Party Committee Office did not see the Municipal Party Committee Secretary on weekdays, so Liang Jianshang's absence from work was not a concern to them. But the problem was that Chen Jie did not show up either. Soon, Chen Jie's cell phone rang when he was sitting in the passenger seat.
Liang Jian got up. Before setting off, Liang Jian had told him that no one could tell anyone about this trip. So when the people from the municipal party committee contacted him, he used the excuses he had prepared long ago to excuse him. But not long after, Chen
Jay then received a call that he couldn't excuse.
It was the call from Organization Director Yu Youwei. Chen Jie turned his head, gently woke up Liang Jian who was resting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and said: "This is the call from Director Yu."
Liang Jian glanced at the mobile phone screen that Chen Jie showed him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just say that I am unwell and resting." When Chen Jie heard this, he hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this excuse won't be enough to deal with him!"
Liang Jian glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Whether he believes it or not is his business. It's enough for us to give him an answer."
After Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, he understood what Liang Jian meant and smiled: "That's right." After saying that, he picked up the phone. After a few sentences, Chen Jie imitated what Liang Jian told him and answered Yu Youwei.
The temptation: "Secretary Liang is not feeling well and is resting. I won't tell you anymore."
After saying that, Chen Jie quickly hung up the phone. Less than five minutes after he hung up, Liang Jian's cell phone rang. Liang Jian took out his cell phone and saw that it belonged to Lou Jiangyuan.
Lou Jiangyuan and Yu Youwei are different. When it comes to Lou Shan, Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan are in the same boat. And in terms of character, Liang Jian is also willing to trust Lou Jiangyuan.
The phone rang three times and Liang Jian answered it. Lou Jiangyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I heard that you are unwell?" The news spread quickly. Liang Jian hesitated and asked: "Comrade Yu Youwei
Next to it?"
Lou Jiangyuan replied: "Okay, then you have a good rest."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Chen Jie turned around from the front and asked him: "Did that call just now from Mayor Lou?" There weren't many people in the Taihe City Government who could call Liang Jian directly.
It’s not unusual to guess that it’s Lou Jiangyuan.
Liang Jian nodded and said, "It's probably because Yu Youwei didn't believe the reason you told him, so he asked Comrade Jiang Yuan to call and confirm."
Chen Jie frowned and complained: "This old guy is really lenient! But what's going on with Mayor Lou? He calls after Yu Youwei asks him to call?"
Liang Jian smiled and did not speak for Lou Jiangyuan. However, he understood Lou Jiangyuan from the bottom of his heart. Lou Jiangyuan did not know the situation of his trip. At this time, Yu Youwei ran to him and told him that he was not feeling well.
It is completely reasonable to make a phone call to inquire about the situation. Moreover, our Mayor Lou Jiangyuan completely understood the hint made by Liang Jian just now.
Liang Jian laughed when he thought of this. It seemed that his journey to Taihe this time would not be the same as his journey to Yongzhou.
As for this "incognito private interview", the reason why Liang Jian did not even make it clear to Lou Jiangyuan was because he was worried about leaking the news. If the news leaked, then he might not be able to see what he wanted to see.
In Liang Jian's view, if we want to truly solve the Jingzhou incident this time, the most fundamental problem is the water problem. If the water problem cannot be solved well, similar things will happen again.
To solve the water problem, we cannot rely on the weather. There has been no rainfall for nearly a month, and this summer is only halfway over. Who knows when the rain will fall again. A drought that lasts all summer is not a problem.
No. Instead of expecting such ridiculous things, it is better to focus on some things that can be grasped in reality, such as the water of Loujiang River.
The Loujiang River is not without water. Before setting off, Liang Jian learned through various channels that the water source in the upper reaches of the Loujiang River, that is, the reservoir behind the Lingyang Hydropower Station in Lingyang City, is very sufficient. But the specifics are not clear, so
He wanted to see it for himself. Only by understanding it personally could he have enough cards to negotiate with others in the next action.
Their route is also very simple, that is, along the Lou River, through Jingzhou, and all the way north to Lingyang City.
The driver was still Xiao Wu. Liang Jian had no doubts about Xiao Wu's driving skills. Moreover, with Xiao Wu by his side, he could handle even some unexpected situations.
Jingzhou City borders the Sixth District of the city, but it’s actually quite a long way there. Liang Jian and the other two set off at 7:30 in the morning and didn’t set foot on Jingzhou until about 10 o’clock. Of course, this has something to do with the traffic jam when leaving the city in the morning.
.
When you arrive in Jingzhou, the landform is different from that in the Sixth District of the city. The landform of Taihe City is mainly mountainous, accounting for more than 60% of the entire city area, but Jingzhou belongs to the remaining 3%.
The landforms of Jingzhou are mainly plains.
As soon as we entered Jingzhou, we saw from the window that it was flat and vast, with a very wide field of vision. The inter-provincial highway that Liang Jian and the others were driving seemed to have been repaired in the past two years, and the fences on the roadside were relatively new. On the right hand side was a wide
Loujiang River, but unfortunately there are only gray stones and pitiful pools of water. It is estimated that even a goldfish cannot survive. Along the way, you can occasionally see some ducks waddling around in it, probably because of the river.
People there raised them. On the other side of the road, there were basically pieces of dry and cracked loess. There were no crops at all, and even if there were some, they were withered or about to wither.
Liang Jian watched all the way, expressionless all the way. Suddenly, a strong wind came over. Suddenly, sand and dust were everywhere. The originally clear sky turned gray and yellow, and the sky was filled with wind and sand. The cars on the road slowed down.
Pull over and stop. The wind continued for a while and then gradually stopped.
The people in the car were silent as they looked at the thin layer of sand and dust on the car. After a long time, Chen Jie sighed and said: "This Jingzhou is the most severely desertified in Taihe City. We haven't gone deep yet.
A little further north, I'm afraid the situation will be even more serious."
Sure enough, Chen Jie was right. After driving north for about twenty minutes, the Loujiang River suddenly gradually narrowed. At this point, it was only half of its original size. The surrounding plains had begun to turn into semi-desert, and the vast ground
There are only a few desert plants standing strong and upright. As for the lush summer scenes that Liang Jian once saw in the coastal areas, there is none here. There is only heat, dryness, decadence and lifelessness.
Perhaps due to the influence of the environment, the three people in the car did not speak for a long time. According to Chen Jie, they were almost out of Jingzhou. In other words, Lingyang was in front. And gradually, the plain reached the end.
Mountains began to rise. However, the mountains were no longer in shape, and there were more cracks and potholes around them. They were all huge, and they did not look like they were made by human beings. It could be said that they were full of desolation. Liang Jian knew that this was caused by the excessive use of human beings.
consequences of development.
In the past, when coal mining was at its craziest, there were many coal mining companies in Jingzhou. Of course, at that time, there were more coal mining companies in other parts of Taihe City. However, the coal resources in Jingzhou were not the most abundant, even in Hecheng Sixth District and Qingyang County.
In comparison, it is relatively poor. However, that era was an era of coal mining. Under excessive mining, goafs were distributed over a large area, so ground fissures, subsidence, mudslides and other situations occurred frequently. Although, later,
This kind of over-exploitation has been stopped. Many coal mining companies in the Jingzhou area have been forced to close down. Only two are left today. However, the damage to nature that has been caused is difficult to make up for with manpower, at least for a period of time.
It cannot be made up for. Another serious impact caused by excessive mining is the destruction of water resources. This is one of the reasons why Jingzhou is always short of water.
Finally, we arrived at the junction of Jingzhou and Lingyang City. After passing the toll station, we officially entered Lingyang City. I looked at the time and saw that it was already a little closer. Xiaowu asked Liang Jian: "How about we find a place to eat first?"
?”
Xiao Wu didn't say it, but Liang Jian also had this intention.
After asking an employee at the toll station, the three of them and a car rushed directly to the nearest town, Dengfeng Town, which is said to be an ancient town. However, not to mention that Liang Jian and Xiao Wu had not heard of it, so had Chen Jie
Never heard of it.
When the three of them arrived in the town, they discovered that it was really an "ancient town". Everything in this town was very old, as if it was still in the 1970s, but fortunately, there were still many restaurants. The three of them found one
Looking at the relatively clean hotel, he parked his car in the open space at the door. As soon as he stopped, Liang Jian saw someone coming from a distance, waving as he walked: "Go! Go! Go! You can't stop here!"
"Why can't it stop?" Chen Jie rolled down the window and asked the middle-aged man who came over.
The middle-aged man did not explain, but shouted arrogantly and unreasonably: "If you can't stop, you can't stop. Drive away quickly!"
With Chen Jie's temper, he would definitely not leave just like that, not to mention he was not the one driving the car. Liang Jian knew Chen Jie and Xiao Wu, so he reminded him from behind: "Forget it, let's change places."
Seeing that Liang Jian had spoken, Chen Jie swallowed back the words that came to his lips, closed the car window angrily, and watched Xiao Wu turn around and leave to find a place to park again.
After being made such a fuss, the three of them no longer planned to eat at the restaurant just now, so they found another one.
There was nothing outstanding about the food. It was ordinary home-cooked food, neither delicious nor unpalatable. Fortunately, it was relatively clean. After the three of them filled their stomachs, they rested for a while and were ready to set off again. Who would have expected it?
, as soon as I came out of the hotel, I bumped into the middle-aged man from before.
However, this time, he was holding a little girl in his hand. The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a blue cloth skirt and a ponytail. Her appearance was not stunning, but her features were regular and quite revealing.
With a figure as delicate as Xiaojiajade, in such an "ancient town", she should be regarded as a beauty. Officialdom within the game
