The three of them continued north along the Lou River. From the map, after about twenty kilometers further north, the Lou River would turn to the west, and the hydropower station was built about three kilometers west of the corner.
That was also the end point of the first leg of Liang Jian's trip. It took about half an hour to drive. Along the way, the conditions in Loujiang River were much better than those in Jingzhou. Although there was not much water, there was at least some water.
It's water, but the water is blocked by low river embankments. There are no less than ten such river embankments in these more than 20 kilometers. The dam blocks big water, and the small embankments block small water. In this way,
Come, where else can water flow to Jingzhou?
Liang Jian watched these going up, and the fire in his heart was building up all the way. Lingyang City really didn't care about Jingzhou's life or death. However, he also understood that this dam was the problem of the Lingyang government, and these small river embankments
, but it should have been made by local villagers. However, no matter what, the final problem still lies in that dam. Without that dam, how could there be a good Loujiang River, but half of it is dry?
.
Turning around the foot of the mountain, there is the dam that straddles the two mountains. The gray cement dam looks like a huge beast entrenched there, filled with coldness and unmoving.
"That's the Lingyang Hydropower Station." Chen Jie reminded softly. Liang Jian squinted his eyes and said to Xiao Wu, "Can you drive up there?"
Xiao Wu looked over and said, "It should be okay."
As he said that, the car was not far ahead, turned right onto a slightly smaller cement road, and drove straight towards Lingyang Hydropower Station.
Naturally, you cannot enter Lingyang Hydropower Station at will, but you can see the scene behind the dam clearly. The green river water is calm and waveless under the scorching sun, reflecting the dazzling light.
Liang Jian squinted his eyes, his expression as cold as ice and snow in winter.
"I have the contact information of the Secretary-General of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee. Do you need me to contact him?" Chen Jie asked tentatively on the side. This was their original plan. After confirming the water volume of the Lingyang Hydropower Station, they would decide whether to contact him directly.
Leaders of Lingyang City are discussing the issue of opening the floodgates and waterproofing.
There was a wind blowing across the river, bringing a trace of moisture. Liang Jian took a deep breath against the wind, and the moisture entered his nose. It seemed that the man felt cooler. The anger under his chest was also much smaller.
Liang Jian asked Chen Jie: "Have you taken all the photos I asked you to take?"
Chen Jie nodded: "It's all taken."
"Okay, then call their secretary-general and ask him to contact the secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee directly. I want to speak to him directly," Liang Jian said.
"Okay." Chen Jie said, holding his cell phone and walking aside to make a call. Just as he dialed out, Liang Jian's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lou Jiangyuan's, so he hurriedly picked it up.
As soon as the phone call came through, Lou Jiangyuan got straight to the point: "Secretary Liang, where are you?"
Liang Jian looked at the wind-ruffled water surface not far away, and the sparkling light shone into his eyes, making his eyes even smaller: "I am at the Lingyang Hydropower Station."
When Lou Jiangyuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Lingyang Hydropower Station? Why did you go there?"
"I'm thinking that if we want to completely solve Jingzhou's problems, the root cause still lies in one word." Liang Jian said.
"Water, right?" Lou Jiangyuan said and smiled bitterly: "I have thought of what you have thought of. I have also tried to communicate with Lingyang City, but the management of the hydropower station is in their hands, not ours.
"
"I know. But we can't make sense. The province's intervention should be of some use," Liang Jian said.
Lou Jiangyuan was surprised and asked: "The province has agreed?"
"I haven't reported it to the province yet, but I think they will agree." After Liang Jian finished speaking, Lou Jiangyuan made a sound, but it ended before Liang Jian could hear it clearly.
Liang Jian thought, maybe he wanted to ask why he was so sure that the province would agree. But since he didn't ask again, Liang Jian pretended not to hear.
"Then when will you come back? Or will you go directly to the province?" Lou Jiangyuan asked.
Liang Jian looked at Chen Jie who was walking back. Chen Jie moved his mouth silently. Liang Jian understood and said to Lou Jiangyuan: "The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Lingyang City invited me to come and sit down. Why don't you come with me?"
Lou Jiangyuan hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll leave now."
"Bring some information about the incident in Lianghe Village." Liang Jian asked Lou Jiangyuan.
"You want to..." Lou Jiangyuan didn't finish his words, but Liang Jian already understood what he meant: "If you can convince him directly that it's best, you don't need to alarm the province."
It took more than two hours to get from Lingyang Hydropower Station to the municipal government in Lingyang City. After entering the urban area, the economy of Lingyang City is obviously more developed than Taihe City. Compared with Taihe City, the development plan in the city is
It is much better. The whole city feels much better. As the second largest city in Xiling Province, it is not as good as Lingyang City, which is ranked in the middle. As the municipal party committee secretary of Taihe City, Liang Jian has only been in office for a few years.
Days later, I still have a strong sense of frustration and a strong will to fight.
When we arrived at the city hall, it was already after get off work time. When Liang Jian and the others arrived, Comrade Yu Zhenchao, secretary-general of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, was already waiting at the door of the city hall.
After Chen Jie got out of the car and exchanged greetings with him, he got in the car and said to Liang Jian: "Comrade Yu Zhenchao said that the secretary of their municipal party committee has arranged dinner and is already waiting at the hotel."
Since it is dinner, there must be more than just the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. In such a scene, even if we want to talk about opening the floodgates and releasing water, what Liang Jian has prepared cannot be directly used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Lingyang City. It seems that Lingyang
The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee should know why Liang Jian came to the office this time and was prepared.
Ahead, Yu Zhenchao's car drove slowly, and Xiao Wu followed closely. Liang Jian took out his mobile phone and called Lou Jiangyuan: "Where are you?"
"We're about to get off the highway." Lou Jiangyuan replied.
"The place has been changed. I will ask Chen Jie to send you the address later. You can go directly there. Dinner has been arranged here in Lingyang City," Liang Jian said.
When Lou Jiangyuan heard this on the other end of the phone, he laughed and said, "This Lao Zhang is really an old fox."
Secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Heng, is 54 years old this year. He has been serving as Secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee for the sixth year. Since taking office, the economic development of Lingyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary has accelerated much faster than before. In Lingyang,
The city has a good reputation and is very popular. It is said that the relationship with the province is also good.
But as Lou Jiangyuan said, Zhang Heng is just an old fox.
The dinner was arranged at the five-star hotel in Lingyang City, the Crystal Palace, which was magnificent. When Liang Jian got off the car, Zhang Heng opened the door himself, followed by a large number of people. Liang Jian glanced at it and estimated that the Lingyang City Standing Committee
Everyone at the meeting was here. After greeting one by one, Liang Jian and Zhang Heng were surrounded and walked inside. As they walked, they had a thoughtful conversation.
"Secretary Liang suddenly came to visit today. I was in a hurry and didn't entertain you well, so I hope Haihan will do it!" Zhang Heng's politeness put Liang Jian in a very high place, as if Liang Jian was not the secretary of the municipal party committee at the same level as him, but the provincial secretary.
The leadership that comes from here.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Zhang Heng gave Liang Jian enough face, so Liang Jian couldn't embarrass Zhang Heng. This was Zhang Heng's strategy. Liang Jian naturally understood, although he didn't like being put on a high place like this.
But now there are so many people, and the hydropower station belongs to Lingyang City after all. Even if the province makes a request, Lingyang City must fully cooperate. Otherwise, just a little stumbling block for you will be enough to make a big impact.
To be fair, when the time comes, the loser will be a dumb person, and he will have to swallow it if he doesn't want to. Therefore, no matter how high the price is, Liang Jian can only bear it first.
"What did Secretary Zhang say? The treatment in a five-star hotel is already very good, so why is the hospitality so poor?" Liang Jian replied politely. When he approached the private room, Liang Jian glanced at the room.
, then turned to Zhang Heng and said, as if he suddenly remembered it just now: "Oh, look at me, I have forgotten all the important things." After saying that, he turned to ask Chen Jie behind him: "Excuse me, Comrade Jiang Yuan.
Where are you? How long does it take to get here?"
Before, when Chen Jie communicated with the Secretary-General of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, he did not mention that Lou Jiangyuan would also come. In the previous communication, Liang Jian also deliberately did not mention it. As for why? Liang Jian was willful.
Zhang Heng was surprised when he heard that Lou Jiangyuan was coming too, and from his tone, he seemed to be arriving soon. Although there was no problem, it was really a bit sudden. Moreover, the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor appeared at the same time, and it seemed that they were very determined.
Big!
Zhang Heng glanced at Liang Jian and thought: This young man looks young, but he has a lot of thoughts.
While thinking about it, he hurriedly ordered people to add seats, dishes, chopsticks, and adjust them. After a lot of work in an orderly manner, they finally sat down one by one. As soon as they sat down, Chen Jie came over and told Liang Jian: "Secretary Liang, Mayor Lou, come to the door.
Already."
"Go and pick him up." After Liang Jian finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "Comrade Jiang Yuan has arrived."
When Zhang Heng heard this, he said, "Really? Then I have to go and greet you."
Liang Jian went to grab him and said, "No, I asked Comrade Chen Jie to greet him. Besides, this is not a formal meeting. Secretary Zhang, there is no need to be so polite."
While they were talking, Chen Jie, who had just left, had already brought Lou Jiangyuan back in. As soon as he entered, everyone stood up and exchanged polite greetings.
After sitting down again, Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan looked at each other. After seeing their respective eyes, they knew something in their minds. At the beginning of the dinner, everyone was in a tacit understanding, chatting and laughing about their ideals in life, but no one mentioned anything about water.
Things, including the widespread drought problem in Xiling Province this summer, have not been ignored.
Everyone knew very well why Liang Jian and the others made the sudden attack.
Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan also knew that it was not the most appropriate time to mention it.
Finally, after dinner, the atmosphere had reached a similar level. The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, a fat man with a big belly, who was sitting under the mayor of Lingyang City, stood up, raised his wine glass, and faced Liang Jian.
"Secretary Liang, I toast you this glass of wine. You may not know that you are my idol." The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission has obviously drunk a lot of wine. His cheeks are rosy, his eyes are blurred, and his face is full of youth. But he is not drunk.
But I don’t know clearly. Officialdom within the game
