The Era of Hard Work

Every spring, people from all walks of life in Qingzhao County gather to discuss the development plan of Qingzhao, and this year is no exception.

The street where Qingzhao government units gather has been under traffic control since 6:00 a.m. Vehicles without passes are prohibited from entering, so as to ensure that the vehicles of the committee members can arrive in time.

Lu Jianren drove over in Lu Dong's car, and the pass was placed on the right side of the windshield early on. When he came to the intersection, a traffic policeman saw the vehicle and the pass, first made a pass gesture, and then stood at attention to salute.

The car turned into the compound, parked in the parking lot, Lu Dong hung up the badge and got out of the car with his bag.

The red Xiali next to him happened to come down and greeted Lu Dong: "President Lu, what a coincidence."

Lu Dong responded with a smile: "Morning, Xia Dan."

This is Xia Dan, the host of the county TV station whom I met once.

Xia Dan came over, walked towards the auditorium with Lu Dong, and said, "Are you the youngest committee member in the history of our county?"

Lu Dong shook his head and said, "No, there were younger ones before."

He took a look at the lady's suit Xia Dan was wearing, with a tag hanging on his chest, and remembered that he had never seen her in previous meetings.

Xia Dan said with a smile: "I am one of the candidates for this year's co-election, Mr. Lu can vote for me."

Lu Dong said politely: "Definitely, definitely."

Entering the auditorium, Lu Dong saw an acquaintance, took the initiative to stay away from Xia Dan, came to a seat near the middle, and sat with Wang Dong.

Wang Dong asked: "Mr. Lu, I heard that you have prepared a proposal for Qingzhaohe?"

The circle of Qingzhao county certificate holders is not big, and Lu Dong even got three old committee members to sign it together.

Lu Dong put away his bag and said, "You are very well informed."

Wang Dong smiled: "Old Yan happens to have something to do with my family." Thinking that Lu Dong had only been in the job for a year, he might have no experience, so he kindly reminded: "Our proposal is more of a formality. Regarding the situation of Qingzhaohe, I probably didn't mention it. use."

"My home is on the bank of Qingzhao River. In the summer of 1998, the flood almost burst the embankment. I have lingering fears when I come here." Lu Dong said what he felt personally: "Some things have to be done."

Wang Dong said: "Maybe I'm in the county town, and I haven't experienced it personally. I always feel that the flood is far away."

Lu Dong smiled: "I used to think so too."

Speaking of which, he had personal experience of floods three times, once in 1998 and Li Qima, and in the summer of the previous two years to stop the flood.

These three floods even changed his life.

In the first time, the old village of the Lu family disappeared, and many people in the old village disappeared. In the end, even the village of the Lu family was annexed.

At that time in Lichma, the flood was swaying at the feet. Fortunately, the society developed, the economy and technology improved, and with the assistance of large machinery, the embankment was finally successfully held.

But then, when he was going home, something happened under the high-speed bridge hole one step away from the city.

At that time, the bridge hole may have been completed since the expressway was completed, and no one had repaired it.

It's fine now, because of his relationship, it was renovated last year.

Then there was the flood fighting and disaster relief that gave Lujia Village a new life, which changed the fate of the entire Lujia Village, and the cascading effects continued to expand, even reaching the county town and university town.

Similarly, because the flood did not break the embankment, there was another consequence - once the flood receded, the immediate threat was gone, and no one paid attention to the damaged embankment of Qingzhao River.

Lv Dong visited a lot of places upstream and downstream, and got a lot of first-hand information. Based on the current situation of the river embankment, who dares to say that one side can be safe?

Personal power is indeed limited, but if you don't do it, you may not succeed at all.

A man in his fifties came to the front row at this time, and everyone around him went over to say hello, and his status was obviously unusual.

Looking at the other person's gray hair, Lu Dong easily recognized who it was. It might not be the one with the richest assets in Qingzhao County, but it must be the one with the most cash!

Li Xingguo, who opened a coal mine in the southern mountainous area.

The trajectory of this person's life can be divided into two parts.

The other part is that after the age of forty-five, they suddenly contracted mines from the county, first the stone factory, and then took advantage of the restructuring of the largest coal mine in the county, and then soared into the sky.

"Have you heard?" Wang Dong was also looking at Li Xingguo, and extended a slap: "It is said that he is in the bank and has this amount of cash deposits!"

Lu Dong understood that the unit in the back was 100 million, and said, "He has a mine at home, we can't compare."

Wang Dong couldn't help but whispered, "It's true."

He is also a sensible person, knowing that those who can afford mining are not ordinary people.

There is no one standing behind them, and they can't even touch the threshold of this industry.

Soon, the conference kicked off. After some routine ceremonies, the county government leaders came to the stage to give a work report. Just listening to the report, Qingzhao was really amazing.

Many people were drowsy, but Lu Dong listened carefully, there were many key figures and indicators, especially in the report of the big leader, one point was emphatically mentioned!

Relying on the traditional advantages of Qingzhao, we will actively develop the tertiary industry and do a good job in the reemployment of laid-off workers.

Qingzhao is a large agricultural county. At present, when a large number of county-owned enterprises are closed down or restructured and resold, it is unrealistic to develop into a large industrial county in a short period of time. There are not enough industrial enterprises. what to do?

It is obviously impossible to push it all to the society and let people fend for themselves without guidance or creating favorable re-employment conditions.

The tertiary industry is also a labor-intensive industry.

In the work report of the big leaders, there are two parts in this regard. One is to adopt effective policies to vigorously promote the development of the catering industry, and the other is to use the advantages of Qingzhao's natural and human resources to vigorously develop the tourism industry.

Of course, it will take time for the things in the report to be realized, but this is also considered as the policy agenda above.

In fact, Qingzhao has been using historical celebrities to create economic value. The most typical ones are county names and wineries in the county.

Qingzhao Liquor, the best-selling liquor in the local area, also has a certain reputation and market in Quannan, but for some reason, the county winery has gone bankrupt and reorganized.

The meeting lasted for three consecutive days, and on the second day, there were routine group discussions, among which were the key proposals submitted.

Lu Dong's proposal—a proposal to renovate the embankment of the Qingzhao River as soon as possible—was also highlighted for discussion.

This is actually a good thing, which shows that at least the higher authorities paid attention to it, otherwise it would be like most proposals, and there would be no waves.

In the conference room, more than a dozen committee members sat around a rectangular conference table. Maybe Lu Dong's proposal really attracted attention, and some big leaders from the county came here to participate in group discussions.

"Everyone, don't be restrained, speak freely." The leadership who just gave a report yesterday is not lacking in easy-going: "The more the truth is debated, the clearer it is."

The veteran committee member who was the first to help Lu Dong write the proposal and sign his name was a veteran in the county, and he was the first to speak: "I have participated in the proposal of Commissioner Lu Dong from the beginning to the end, and the proposal fully reflects the The current situation of the Qingzhao River is clear. The flood in the summer of 1998 is vivid, and the river embankment was in emergency at one time. Although we finally defeated the flood, we cannot ignore the damage of the river embankment after the flood washed away!"

Another committee member's hometown is also on the Qingzhao River, and he said: "Qingzhao River is the mother river of our Qingzhao people. The current situation of the mother river is described in detail in the proposal of Committee Member Lu Dong. Picture material, we who are sons and daughters, should we maintain the mother river?"

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

"The flood in the summer of 1998 happened once in a hundred years. Counting the records in the county annals, this was the largest flood since Qingzhao was recorded." This person made sense: "Except for 1998, the last time Qingzhao River was considered a flood Yes, before liberation, I worked in meteorology, and according to historical laws and scientific analysis, for a long time to come, the weather in Qingzhao and even the whole of Taidong will tend to be arid!"

A person from the County Finance Bureau said: "The Qingzhao River stretches for hundreds of kilometers. Once the renovation starts, it will inevitably become an extremely large project. Everyone knows about the current economic situation. If the superiors do not give full support If we do it with the strength of Qingzhao, the county's finances will be very tight!"

What each says makes sense, and discussion is a matter of expressing one's own views.

The leader sitting at the top didn't speak any more after the opening remarks, and has been listening to the people below in detail.

A representative from the resin factory of Qingzhao Chemical Park in the north said at this time: "Maintenance does not mean tearing down and rebuilding. We can repair and strengthen the existing foundation, and at the same time protect the river embankment."

The resin factory is not far from the Qingzhao River, if there is a flood, the resin factory will also be unlucky.

Everyone has their own standpoint, and that's understandable.

Having said that, if he didn't live by the Qingzhao River and had personally experienced the Qingzhao River flood, Lu Dong would not have come up with such a proposal.

"The Qingzhao River is not a top priority. Our county has many large reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Qingzhao River for regulation!"

The speaker was the gray-haired Li Xingguo, a heavyweight committee member: "After all, 1998 was a special situation, which was once in a hundred years. If you think about it carefully, Qingzhaohe has been like this for the past few decades, but there is a danger. ever appeared?"

Not to mention Lu Dong, even some people in their fifties, except for this time in 1998, have no memory of the last flood like this.

Li Xinggui took a sneak look at the leader at the top of the conference table. When he was transferred last year, he had studied it carefully. When the leader was in other places, he attached great importance to economic construction, and even relied on economic development to start his career.

"I think that the Qingzhao River can be properly maintained, such as the backfill protection of the levee gap that Committee member Lu Dong saw."

This is an old fritter, who agrees with Lu Dong's proposal to a certain extent, but suddenly turns around: "The problem of Qingzhao River is only a small problem after all. The most important thing for our county at present is to develop the economy. The absolute center of the next stage, and the rest of the work will serve it."

With a certain amount of money, Li Xingguo also wants a good reputation: "Now the development of Qingzhao is uneven between the north and the south. The development of the central and northern regions is relatively fast, while the development of the southern mountainous areas is very slow, which drags down the whole Qingzhao. If the southern mountainous areas develop and become rich, Qingzhao’s economic level will definitely take a big step forward.”

This person also has an idea: "Compared to building rivers, I think road building is more important! If you want to get rich, build roads first, and open up traffic in the southern mountainous area, which can drive the development of the entire southern mountainous area."

The road is easy to go, and it is easier to transport coal and stone from the mine, which can further reduce costs.
