Perfect Feast

Chapter 19 Threats

To the south of Limin Village, Nanhe Street, there is a paddy field stretching from east to west, and the edge can't be seen in the misty water curtain, and the place farther south becomes dark.

The rice in the field was no longer visible, and the water in the field had overflowed the stalks, and it was all white. It was hard to tell where was the rice field and where was the path in the field.

Liu Yang walked forward with Chen Dekai, Zhang Lei and others. Although the road surface was more than half a meter higher than the field, the water in the roadside ditch was almost overflowing the roadbed. This shows that the water in the field has exceeded at least fifty centimeters.

Not far away is a slate bridge made of bluestone. The stone slabs are very thick and there are no guardrails on both sides of the bridge. It is the only passage leading to the opposite side of the ditch.

Standing on the bridge, Liu Yang watched the water swirling eastwards that had already submerged half of the stone slab, and felt a little more at ease in his heart.

The current is still flowing eastward, which proves that the water level of the lake in the east has not exceeded the water level here.

However, seeing that it was still raining heavily, Liu Yang couldn't help but stood on the bridge and took a deep breath, then turned his head and asked Chen Dekai who was standing not far behind him: "Director Chen, please contact the county magistrate Cao. Has anyone set off?"

After finishing the call with Sun Qingmei, Liu Yang arranged Cao Hancheng to sit in the office building, sent Wen Hongbin to Huangzhuang Town, Wu Hongfeng to Houma Town, Lin Yufen to the Flood Control Office to direct the distribution of emergency supplies, and Guo Minghua to the Power Supply Bureau. Liu Min went to the mobile company.

These people go to these units, one is to direct disaster relief, but to ensure the smooth flow of power and communication.

He himself took a group of people to walk around the corners of the new and old urban areas of the county, and checked it himself in the rain. Without knowing the real situation first-hand, it is difficult for him to make decisions on some things.

Liu Yang was wearing a raincoat, and Zhang Lei opened an umbrella to cover him. The deputy county magistrate Wang Chaojie, Zhang Yawei, and the deputy director of the office Li Chunxiang did not go up the bridge, but stood on the road, watching Liu Yang stand without saying a word. Looking east and west on the bridge, Zhang Yawei lowered his voice and said: "Worry for nothing..."

"Young people have never seen the world, and it is inevitable that they will be frightened by such a little rain." Li Chunxiang glanced at Liu Yang, thinking that Liu Yang could not hear what they were saying, so she said bluntly said a word.

"If this rain continues, how long do you think the water will overflow the bridge? There are seven or eight rivers in our county that lead directly to the East Lake. If the lake flows back, will the villages along the lake be safe? Look at Xiaonan. The ditch looks like this, which shows that our canal management work is far from being in place!" Liu Yang said while turning and walking back.

Zhang Yawei was in charge of farmland water conservancy, and it was obviously a bit unpleasant to hear. He glared at Li Chunxiang and thought to himself, what are you talking about? What if he heard it?

Looking back, he followed Liu Yang's words and said, "Major Liu, I reported the county's river and canal management plan the year before last, but you also said that our county has nothing else, except that there are surprisingly many river embankments. Even ordinary repairs The embankment, just to heighten and thicken it, requires a considerable amount of funds for the dike section within the county, this matter is difficult..."

You think I don't want to finish the job in charge? But our county has no money, how do you ask me to do this job?

Wang Chaojie interjected at the right time: "According to our financial budget at the end of last year, we originally had funds for this area. Some time ago, we carried out the basic construction of the Linhu Ecological Industrial Park, and the funds were taken away. Fortunately, this year's rainfall is higher than last year's." At least, this year’s rainy season will be over in one month, and the flood control work is coming to an end, which will give us time to renovate river embankments and ditches.”

"Major Wang, if we have money, we have plenty of time. Even if the rainy season is over, we can't do anything without money..." Zhang Yawei seemed to be singing against Wang Chaojie. Only the lion shirked Zhang Yawei's responsibility for the ineffective management of the canal, and pointed it out to Liu Yang: County magistrate Liu, don't stand up and talk without back pain. If you don't have money, what do you want me to use to repair the embankment?

At this time, all the leaders of the Nanhe Sub-district Office rushed over, headed by Wu Yingyu, secretary of the Nanhe Sub-district Office, and Wang Fengying, the director, all of them were drenched like chickens.

Liu Yang glanced at them, and said calmly: "Wu Shu. Ji, Director Wang, you Nanhe Street are well-known wealthy households in the whole county. During the meeting in the morning, weren't you Wu Shu. Ji still complacent? How many people are there in your jurisdiction?" The sewer is silted up? How many potholes are now turned into fish ponds? I came along the way just now and saw that many houses were about to flood, what measures have you taken?"

These two people basically followed in Liu Yang's footsteps. These two people also saw the places Liu Yang looked at just now, so they knew that he would ask such a question, saying that the two of them had already made up their excuses. .

Now that Liu Yang really asked this question, Wu Yingyu wiped the rain off her face and said loudly: "Major Liu, I have already made arrangements just now, and I have mobilized a group of people to dredge the sewer. Households in low-lying areas should be moved to higher places as much as possible. At the same time, I also allocated a batch of flood control sand and bagged them to block the intersection of Shengli Street and Confucian Temple Street to prevent the water from the north from flowing south... "

Liu Yang looked at Wu Yingyu and asked, "Secretary Wu, is this enough? I mean, what can you do to ensure everything is safe?"

Foolproof? Is this requirement too high? Who dares to make such a guarantee?

"Magistrate Liu, I... I... I haven't done my job well, I ask you to criticize..." Wu Yingyuxin said, are you looking for something to criticize me? You are the leader and you talk too much, and I can't help it.

Liu Yang's face darkened, and he said sharply, "Usually, you don't pay attention to your work and hold your feet temporarily, but it's better than nothing. I hope God will take care of Huling County, otherwise, it's useless for you to criticize. Let me tell you, don't take it on deaf ears. , I don’t care what measures you take, if one person drowns in Nanhe Street, or one person is washed away and disappears, even if you want to conduct a self-criticism, you will have no chance..."

Wu Yingyu's heart was shocked when he said this, and she thought that it would not really rain like this, right? Talking about the rain in summer is also urgent, and talking about sunny days is just a matter of blinking your eyes.

Don't even have a chance to review? This is quite serious. Wu Yingyu blushed and was speechless, and the others were also silent.

As if catering to Liu Yang's words, the raindrops suddenly seemed to get bigger and bigger, hitting the water on the ground with a rustling sound, stirring up waves like fish eyes.

"The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. I don't have time to listen to your self-criticism and reasoning here. God will not give us any reason. However, God is merciless and everyone is merciful. Whether we have worked hard, everyone will see Now, I'm going to go up to the embankment of the lake, as for what you want to do, feel your conscience, think about those people who have been soaked in the water, and you can figure it out for yourself." Liu Yang said, raising his legs He left, took two steps and then stopped and turned back: "By the way, Secretary Wu, let me remind you one more thing, don't violate party discipline and state laws. What our cadres should do in the face of disasters is also bound by laws and regulations. ..."

"Major Liu, County Magistrate Cao said just now that people in various townships have already started to mobilize, because the automobile and bus companies can't get so many cars at once, and some towns that are close to each other are led by town cadres, and they are already in the rain. Walk up the embankment..." Walking forward, Chen Dekai leaned over to report to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang nodded and said, "County Wang and County Magistrate Zhang, we should go too, and go to the lake embankment to have a look. I'm getting more and more worried about the rain."

Wang Chaojie and Zhang Yawei looked at each other, and said to themselves that you are so fucking worried, isn't this unfounded worry? It's a waste of time and money, and there will be nothing to do when the time comes. Let me see how you speak consciously.

At this moment, the rainwater changed from east to west with the wind, and everyone's faces were wet when it splashed. After getting into the car, after some hesitation, Liu Yang still called Sun Qingmei's cell phone.

"Sun Shu. Ji, looking at the current situation, I don't think what I said is alarmist. Now I am on the embankment and guarding. I have also arranged for several deputy county magistrates in the county. As long as the embankment is fine, I think the problem is still there. It’s not too bad. But I still ask you to report to the city, and ask the city’s central district to also send people to the embankment, and ask the local garrison to help patrol the embankment. We would rather waste people’s money than make fun of people’s lives...”

Liu Yang spoke to the secretary of the county party committee in such a tone that Chen Dekai, who was sitting beside him, heard his heart beat faster. My heart said, County Magistrate Liu, do you ever speak like that? Although everyone is a member of the Standing Committee, he is the secretary, a veritable number one in the county!

Sun Qingmei, who was standing in front of the office window watching the rain outside, couldn't help showing a dazed expression when she heard Liu Yang's words, thinking that this little comrade is so imposing, he actually talks to me like that?

You don't listen to me, and you stir up all the cadres in the county to make a fuss. I don't bother to care about it. Anyway, you are responsible for what happened. But why don't you do what you reported to the city yourself?

Oh, you want to pull me on the back? How can there be such a good thing?

Besides, do you think it's a trivial matter to suggest that the garrison be dispatched? If nothing happens by then, is the responsibility yours or mine?

However, looking at the heavy rain outside and the increasingly dark sky, Sun Qingmei said calmly: "Comrade Liu Yang, I know that you are also worried about the lives of the people, but no matter what you do, you have to worry about it." At this point, we have already mobilized the cadres and masses of every village and town to guard the dikes. Before the matter has reached a certain point, I don't think it is a wise choice to suggest sending out troops now..."

Liu Yang said in an unquestionable tone: "Sun Qingmei, I beg you not to be impulsive right now. You are the secretary of Huling County. No matter what happens to Huling County, you will not be able to run away if you want to. Please let go of our relationship now." Let’s work together to tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, you will regret it..."
