Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was also called Ning'an County. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Ningchuan County.
Today, the population of Ningchuan County has grown to more than 500,000, and its economic development is considered to be in the middle of the country among counties.
The entire county is built on a large river. The name of the river is Longdong River. One of the reasons why it was named is because the water in the river used to flow out of a cave. The cave was connected to the underground Yin River, and the water flow continued all year round. Even today, a few people
Part of the water also flows out of the cave, so the word "Dong" was chosen, and the word "Dragon" was chosen because it was said that a dragon appeared in the cave during the Republic of China.
In the morning, a team of more than 30 people appeared on a hilltop in the upper reaches of the Longdong River outside the county town. They looked at the top of the cave at the outlet of the Longdong River. Each of them wore engineering hats.
However, the Chinese government has planned to build a Beijing-Hunan high-speed railway, which is under the responsibility of the 10th Bureau of China Railway. The route happens to pass through Ningchuan County, so this team is in front of us. It is the 10th Bureau of China Railway who came to inspect it on the spot.
The team and county leaders from Ningxiang County.
"It is said that Ningchuan County has beautiful mountains and clear waters. When I saw it today, it turned out to be a good place."
Wu Jianye looked at the direction of the entrance of the Longdong River outlet and saw the beautiful mountains and clear waters all around and the quiet water in the cave. He couldn't help but admired that he was the person in charge of the railway construction here in Ningchuan County from the 10th Bureau of China Railway, and he was responsible for the specific route here.
Screening and construction command and supervision work.
Ningchuan County senior officials and the county magistrate, the first and second-in-commands in the county, are also closely following Wu Jianye. Faced with such a national transportation plan that directly affects the future transportation development plan of the county through the county seat, they, the county leaders, naturally
Don't dare to neglect, after all, if this is done well, it will not only affect the future development of the entire place, but also be a good political achievement for themselves.
"We in Ningchuan County have always implemented green and environmentally friendly development. While developing, we have also been protecting the surrounding environment..."
Hearing Wu Jianye's words, Li Ye, a senior county official next to him, immediately laughed. County Magistrate Zheng Hua also said a few words, and the remaining county leaders accompanying him laughed in agreement.
"Green development is good, but now with the development of society, the environment is getting worse and worse, and the country has been promoting green and environmentally friendly development."
Wu Jianye also nodded, and the two sides exchanged official chatter for a while before getting down to the main topic.
"Our route plan is to come from the top of the mountain in the east, and then it will meet the outlet of the cave, and use this as an entry point to enter through the belly of the mountain and reach the other end. I wonder what Secretary Li, County Magistrate Zheng, and everyone else think about it. Are there any problems?
"
Wu Jianye pointed to the hilltop opposite the entrance of the cave in front and pointed to the location of the water outlet of the cave.
This is the best route planning arrangement selected by their railway bureau after inspecting the entire mountain topography around Ningchuan County. This route has the smallest construction and the lowest cost.
Moreover, after many national water conservancy projects, although the water flowing out of the cave is still part of the Longdong River, it is no longer the mainstream. Even if the railway enters and affects the water flow in the cave, it will not have any impact on the entire Ningchuan County.
What is the impact of water resources problems?
"There is absolutely no problem. We in Ningchuan County will fully cooperate with Director Wu and all the comrades of the Tenth Bureau of China Railway."
Li Ye, a senior county official, immediately patted his chest and confirmed that once the high-speed railway is completed and opened to pass through their Ningchuan County, it will not only be a great transportation benefit for their Ningchuan County, but also a good job for them, government officials.
In terms of political performance, Li Ye will naturally not have any problems. He is even thinking of planning a high-speed rail station for Ningchuan County, which would be better.
Only Zheng Hua and two other county and town government officials who were present changed their expressions slightly. They seemed to have thought of something, their eyes changed slightly, and they did not speak immediately.
"Do Magistrate Zheng and the two comrades have any opinions?"
Wu Jianye's sharp eyes noticed the expressions on Zheng Hua and the other two county government officials and couldn't help but speak.
"Well, actually it's nothing. I just thought of some sayings passed down by the elders. It's nothing, nothing..."
Hearing Wu Jianye's words and feeling that other people were looking at him, Zheng Hua's face froze slightly, and then he said something sarcastic.
Zheng Hua is a native of Ningchuan County. Because he is from Ningchuan County, he knows more about some things in the county. However, Zheng Hua does not know whether these things are true or false, and he is afraid to say it now.
, after all, it is something of a ghostly nature, and it is a trivial matter whether everyone present believes it or not. It would be the most terrible thing to label him as a deceitful person because of this.
In today's society under the background of scientism, if you, a political official, are labeled as having sex, that would be a fatal ideological mistake.
Zheng Hua didn't want to end his official career because of this.
"Oh, County Magistrate Zheng might as well listen to the sayings passed down by the elders."
Wu Jianye was a little curious and asked.
"County Magistrate Zheng is talking about the cave ahead."
At this time, behind Wu Jianye, a tall, pretty, and strong-looking woman in her thirties with gold-rimmed eyes answered the question with a smile.
"Dr. Li also knows?"
Zheng Hua looked at the woman in surprise when he heard this.
But it was the woman who was the design engineer sent to Ningchuan County by the 10th China Railway Bureau. Her real name was Li Qin, a doctor returned from overseas, and she was also related to Wu Jianye.
"Originally known as Hidden Dragon Cave, it was later renamed Fenglong Cave. It was rumored that a dragon emerged from the cave during the Republic of China, causing a great flood. All houses in Ningchuan County were flooded and dressed up. Finally, they were defeated and sealed into the cave by a pair of Taoist masters and disciples. Therefore,
Hidden Dragon Cave was renamed Fenglong Cave..."
Li Qin said with a smile, as for what happened here in Ningchuan County, after receiving the mission and knowing that she was coming here, she had investigated the news here in detail, so she also knew the legend about Fenglong Cave in Ningchuan County, but for
Li Qin didn't really believe this. He had received higher scientific education since childhood, studied abroad for many years, and became a doctorate at a young age.
Li Qin has never believed much in things like gods and ghosts.
When she thought about it, even if something similar happened in Fenglong Cave in Ningchuan County back then, it was probably just that there happened to be a big flood, and then a big python came out of the cave, and then it was misunderstood by people in Ningchuan County.
I thought it was a dragon, and then added it to the flood, and then spread it to this day through false rumors.
"It turns out Dr. Li also knows this."
Hearing the calm disbelief in Li Qin's tone, Zheng Hua couldn't help but smile.
In fact, Zheng Hua is not sure whether the incident of Fenglong Cave is true or false. After all, it has happened for so many years, and he has not lived in that era to see it with his own eyes. This kind of passed down statement is still this kind of ghosts and ghosts.
How many people dare to be really sure about this matter?
"So that's it."
Wu Jianye couldn't help but understand after hearing this, and then smiled.
"Legends of this thing are mostly based on rumors, too much exaggeration and embellishment, and cannot be taken as true. Besides, if there is really a dragon in it, for us, wouldn't it be the great discovery of the century, haha...
.”
At the end of the sentence, Wu Jianye laughed directly, with a joking tone that clearly showed he was not at ease with what he said.
Everyone nearby also laughed along with him.
Even Zheng Hua and the other two officials, who were a little hesitant at first, couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard Wu Jianye's words, with relaxed smiles on their faces. They thought that in today's society, let alone whether there is a dragon or not.
, even if there really is a dragon, how can it still be solved with the technological power of today’s country?
Of course, the more important reason is that the number of people makes us bolder.
Just like if someone tells you that there is a ghost or something else, if you are alone or there are only one or two people, you will be a little scared, but if there are more people, most people will not feel scared, but more of them will
I feel curious and even want to see for myself if it is true.
Because there are more people, everyone will have a sense of security in their subconscious mind. They feel that there are more people and they are safer, thereby dispelling the fear and fear in their hearts.
Afterwards, the group went to the cave entrance to have a look in person.
Just outside the entrance of the cave, there is a huge stone tablet with the three characters "Fenglong Cave" engraved on it.
Clear water flows out of the cave, and the water is about as deep as the calf. Along with the breeze, it blows on people's faces, making them moist.
"I heard that in the past, the water flowing out of the cave was very strong, and there was a bottomless pool inside. In the past, you had to take a boat to enter from the entrance of the cave. I don't know if this is true or not."
The county magistrate Zheng Hua spoke again, looking deep inside Fenglong Cave. He only heard from the old man in the county that the water flow in Fenglong Cave used to be so huge that one had to take a boat to enter from the entrance of the cave. However, since the dragon was sealed, the water flow has slowly changed.
It was so small that the water at the entrance of the cave is now no more than knee-deep.
However, Zheng Hua is not sure whether it is true or false.
Everyone also looked into the cave.
"What's the specific situation inside this cave? Has anyone gone in to take a look?"
Li Qin asked.
"No."
Li Ye, Zheng Hua and other people from the county and town governments all shook their heads.
"Then let's find a team of people to go in tomorrow and find out the specific conditions inside, and then start the design and construction according to the situation."
Li Qin said.
"Okay, then I'll arrange the manpower when I get back later."
Li Ye immediately responded.
Afterwards, the group of people conducted an on-the-spot investigation around the area and returned to the county seat.
