It was my first time to attend a meeting organized by a local government department.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Ke and Ye, who had been riding in a donkey cart for three hours, entered the county government compound using this special means of transportation under everyone's gaze.
After jumping out of the car and taking off his fur coat, Wang Ke said to Luo Shaohuan: "Shaohuan, we don't know how many days this will be open. If you can't go back today, you can take the whole class to the regiment headquarters tomorrow morning to hire staff." I have to report to the director's office, and I have a business trip, so be sure to keep an eye on Gu Maolin, and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes! Monitor, do you still need me to wait here?"
"No, after the meeting, I will go back on my own. Teacher Ye will go back to Jinmen directly."
Luo Shaohuan saluted Wang Ke, turned and left.
Wang Ke and Ye Xian walked into the office building, inquired about it, went to the conference room on the second floor, signed in directly, and then found two seats in the back row to sit down. Next to them there was a tall and thin middle-aged man. , holding a notebook in his hand, he was already writing and drawing there. On the chair next to him, there were a pile of portfolios.
People entered the conference room one after another.
The conference room is large and can seat fifty or sixty people. It was still a few minutes before 9 o'clock when a chubby middle-aged man walked in and walked directly in front of Wang Ke. "Is this Comrade Wang Ke from the army?"
He was the only one in the conference room wearing military uniform. Wang quickly stood up and replied: "Yes, chief."
"This little girl is..."
"I am Ye Xianqian from Jinmen University." Ye Xianqian also stood up and introduced himself.
The chubby middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Ye to be so young. "Oh, hello, Teacher Ye." He quickly held Ye Xianqian's hand.
"You two, take a seat in front."
Sitting at the conference table, Wang Ke discovered that there were nearly fifty people in the conference room. Only he and Ye were the youngest, both in their early twenties.
"Everyone, be quiet. We are in a meeting now." The chubby middle-aged man just chaired the meeting.
"First of all, let me introduce to you the main leaders and guests attending the meeting today." He cleared his throat, then pointed to a comrade with gray sideburns sitting in the middle of the conference table and said: "This is from our county. Comrade Shang Qingsong, deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate." There was a round of applause in the conference room.
He continued to introduce: "Today's meeting is attended by the mayors and secretaries of all towns and villages in our county, as well as our county's water conservancy, finance, culture, publicity and comrades, as well as the three most important guests. They are the Water Conservancy Planning Section of the Administrative Office Section Chief Comrade Chang Gaofeng."
The comrade who had just been sitting next to Wang Ke and was writing stood up. Wang Ke saw that he really lived up to his name. He stood up like a thin mountain peak, reaching 1.85 meters.
"Teacher Ye Qianpian from Jinmen University."
Ye Xianxian quickly stood up and signaled to everyone.
"Comrade Wang Ke from our garrison."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ke immediately stood up, raised his hands, saluted everyone, and circled around half a circle.
Perhaps because he was too young, he only heard the noisy discussion in the conference room.
"Quiet, quiet, I am Liao Tianguang, director of the County Water Conservancy Bureau." Wang Ke and Ye Pianchan looked at each other. This fat man is the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau.
“Comrades, today we are holding a demonstration meeting here, which is actually a mobilization meeting, a seminar, and a work deployment meeting. The main topics are two. One is the management of the Juma River that runs east-west in our county; Focusing on the Juma River, we will build tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland and build supporting ditch and water networks. Next, we will first invite Comrade Shang Qingsong, deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, to speak. Everyone is welcome."
Everyone applauded.
County Magistrate Shang’s speech was not long, only twenty minutes. He talked more about the meaning, the county’s investment, and the cooperation requirements for the towns and villages.
Next, there is a report by Chang Gaofeng, the head of the water conservancy planning section of the administrative department, on the project establishment, design and planning plan of the overall project. This plan was relatively long, and it took a whole morning to discuss it.
Wang Ke listened and heard that it almost had little to do with him, and it seemed that it had little to do with Ye Qianquan.
After lunch, we took a short break and continued the meeting. Chang Gaofeng, the head of the water conservancy planning section of the Administrative Office, gave the keynote speech again, but his painting style suddenly changed, which made Wang Ke and Ye Qianqian feel refreshed at the same time.
"Comrades, I mainly introduced the plan in the morning, and in the afternoon I want to talk about practical issues. Since our county is mainly located in plain areas, which is not conducive to the storage of surface water, our county is mainly dry land. And because The Juma River has not been cleaned up for a long time, and the river bed has become shallower and shallower. It basically becomes a flood storage area in the rainy season and a barren beach in the dry season. The ecological environment on both sides of the Juma River has been greatly damaged. There are no fish in the river. There are no birds on the shore, and sandstorms in spring and autumn pose a threat to the county. In addition, the yield of nearly 300,000 acres and thousands of hectares of dry land cannot increase due to the imperfect ditch and water network."
Having said this, Chang Gaofeng looked at Wang Ke and Ye Pianpian, and then said: "According to our planning plan, we have two relatively large actions. One is on both sides of the Juma River. On a per hundred-acre basis, In one unit, we will create 1,000 units of experimental fields, equipped with tributary water canals, and strive to transform them into flood and drought fields, turning a single crop into a diversified business. Another one is to start from the upstream and completely clean up the rejected areas in our county. With the millennium course of the Ma River, we can store a certain amount of water even in the dry season and completely improve the ecological environment on both sides of the Juma River."
When Wang Ke heard this, he realized that these were two super large projects. Based on the land area of 3,000 hectares, measuring the fields and ditches in the entire Ding County would require traveling back and forth over thousands of square kilometers. The Juma River was able to run boats thousands of years ago, but now the deepest river channel is only more than one meter. That is equivalent to digging an artificial canal. The depth of this artificial canal will not be less than ten meters downward.
The meeting has been going on for one day, but it still has no intention of ending, and I am afraid it will continue for another day.
Discussion the next day. As a soldier, Wang Ke could only listen. He didn't understand water conservancy at all. Even if someone raised technical issues such as the level and straightness of measurements at the meeting, there was no need for him to answer them.
But Chang Gaofeng's grand blueprint still makes him excited. If it can really be realized, Dingxian's grain output will definitely achieve a qualitative breakthrough, and he will no longer have to eat aged grain. As a garrison, it should be necessary to support local construction, but this cannot be decided by oneself, at least it must be discussed between the county and the regiment.
However, there is still some controversy surrounding the cleanup of the thousand-year-old Juma River. The county's financial situation is not good. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to use migrant workers. It uses mechanized operations and does not have so many large machinery.
Finally, based on Ye Qianpian's suggestion, the county adopted the method of "implementation in stages and pilot advancement", and first conducted an exploratory five-kilometer clearing and excavation near Lettuce Village. The advantage of this is that we can borrow the power of the garrison troops, and this is the middle section of Ding County. If it is cleared out, it will be equivalent to building a micro reservoir in the center of the county. The surface water storage alone will be considerable. If it works, keep pushing upstream and downstream, if not, stop here.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Qianqian still has a selfish intention. She can see Wang Ke often.
This project will be specifically responsible for Liao Tianguang and Chang Gaofeng.
After the meeting, Shang Qingsong, Liao Tianguang and Chang Gaofeng kept Wang Ke and Ye Pianqiang behind. Discuss whether Wang Ke's reconnaissance team can be seconded and what procedures are required; and whether animal and plant experts from Jinmen University can come to the scene to provide guidance, and what other experts can come?
As soon as the meeting ended, Wang Ke immediately rushed to the train station and took the five o'clock train back to the army, while Ye Xianqian was sent directly back to Jinmen by a car sent by the county.
On the way, Wang Ke realized that this task would probably take about five months. In other words, he will leave the army again and devote himself to local economic construction. But what made him feel a little sour was that Qin Hu went to school to prepare for the lifting, while he wore a straw hat and took measurements in the fields. Ye Qiangan recommended any work to him, which was still equivalent to a business trip.
He has become a "specialist in tolerance". Half a month later, Wang Ke's reconnaissance team received a notice and went to Dingxian Water Conservancy Bureau carrying a backpack, raincoat and water bottle, two steering wheels, a benchmark and a ruler rope (a 200-meter-long special rope with counting). check in.
Since Luo Shaohuan and Hu Yanlou have been transferred, only Song Ruimin, Niu Suozhu, Gu Maolin and the two recruits who accompanied the report are left.
Three people know business and three are laymen.
Company Commander Bearded Tian asked Wang Ke: "Giving up the station training, when you are helping with the measurement process, can you bring out all three people to bring out the effect of the station training?"
"Company Commander, this is not the same thing at all? The station training is based on the needs of actual combat. The training is how to measure quickly, calculate accurately, and shoot accurately. And this measurement is to run far and measure squarely (acres are square) ), Calculate well (how to spend less money).”
"Okay, you can open a small stove for them, and don't turn yourself into peasants. And when you go out, you will eat and live in the homes of fellow villagers. Pay attention to safety and observe mass discipline."
"yes!"
When we arrived at the County Water Conservancy Bureau, Director Liao Tianguang and Section Chief Chang Gaofeng were both there. According to the division of labor, Director Liao Tianguang was responsible for cleaning up the thousand-year-old Juma River. Section Chief Chang Gaofeng and Wang Ke's team first completed the survey of 10,000 acres of fertile land and water network ditches.
The treatment was really good. The County Water Conservancy Bureau provided a light tool truck with wooden piles on it, and the piles were driven immediately after the measurement. In addition, each person was given a straw hat, a pair of rain boots and a lantern.
After a delicious meal, we got in the car and headed straight to Xishan.
We stayed in Nanshao Village that night. Nanshao Village is the westernmost village in Ding County. In fact, more than half of the village is not on the map of Ding County, but the village still belongs to Ding County.
Everyone was excited except Wang Ke. Running around the village, Wang Ke, just as everyone thought, said hello to Section Chief Chang and went to Uncle Dong Pianfang's house. Before going out, he took the wordless heavenly book with him. He wanted to ask Uncle Dong to read it, maybe he could decipher the mysterious things in it!
