It turns out that the country has issued a timetable for the implementation of the North-South Artery.
Preparations will begin in March next year. First, the state will convene relevant personnel from the provinces along the route to hold a meeting to plan the route, and then the provinces along the route will go back to work.
It was not clear how the road was to be built before, but now it is.
The basic principle is: if existing roads can be renovated and upgraded, use existing roads to save costs as much as possible. Each province raises its own funds to build the project, and the country sets prices based on the number of kilometers. Each province collects road and bridge tolls to recover the funds invested. People from all walks of life are welcome to participate in a flexible manner in this major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
After Tao Guangming heard Tao Luyao talk about this, he suddenly felt that this was tailor-made for the express highway built by Li Wenjun from the provincial capital to Cha County.
Tao Guangming remembers what the experts said during the acceptance inspection very clearly: "This road greatly exceeds the requirements of municipal highways and has reached the standards of national highways."
At that time, Tao Guangming once muttered that Li Wenjun's construction of this road beyond the standard was a blind man's wasted effort to fight mosquitoes. Now he understands the reason.
So when he told Li Wenjun about this matter, he kept staring at Li Wenjun and observing his expression, wondering if he had expected it.
It's a pity that Li Wenjun kept listening calmly and lowered his eyes, so that he couldn't see any clues.
Tao Guangming said: "You must have planned it long ago. Once the arterial project starts, this road will be directly integrated into the arterial project."
Li Wenjun said: "It would be best if that could be done."
Tao Guangming sneered: "I have to admire your foresight, but you forgot to consider an important issue."
Li Wenjun looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows: "Oh, let's talk about it."
Tao Guangming said: "This only provides implementation principles, and the specific route has not yet been determined. Gan Province and even Zhejiang Province are striving for this section of the artery to pass through their province."
Anyone with some common sense can see that this is a golden line. With this road, tolls can be collected. In the future, material transportation and tourism industries will be driven by this road to flourish.
Especially after Li Wenjun built the road from the provincial capital to Cha County, he simply set an example for everyone and made everyone realize this more deeply.
Seven counties and one prefecture-level city in Hunan Province along the route, as well as nine counties and three cities in two radiating provinces, all benefit from this road.
Nowadays, the number of patients in the hospitals in the provincial capitals of Hunan Province is twice that of the neighboring provincial capitals because of convenient transportation. It's more convenient than the railway. You don't have to wait for the train. You can take the expressway at any time and get to the capital of Hunan Province in three hours.
Therefore, everyone will definitely rush to grab this opportunity.
Li Wenjun nodded: "Indeed, you are right."
Tao Guangming narrowed his eyes: "It's rare that you are willing to admit that you are taking risks."
Li Wenjun said: "Everything you do has to take a certain risk. If you want to be 100% sure before doing something, you will never do it. So it doesn't matter, even if the north-south artery does not cut off my The road has been merged in, and I have opened up the transportation from Cha County to the provincial capital, which is a good thing for myself and everyone along the way."
Tao Guangming raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you understand what I mean? If it cannot be merged into the North-South Artery, you will have to rely on the 100 yuan a day in bridge tolls. How long will it take to recover the 3 million cost?" Ah, yes, I can calculate it, thirty thousand days, one hundred years. In other words, if you die, your next generation will not be able to take it back."
Li Wenjun touched his chin and said, "So, it seems so."
Tao Guangming sneered: "Forget it? And this is still an optimistic situation. Once the north-south artery is opened, who will take a detour to take your expressway? They will all take the expressway. By then, your traffic volume will be reduced It will be greatly reduced, and you will still receive less than a hundred yuan a day.”
Li Wenjun: "So."
Tao Guangming hated the fact that iron cannot become steel: "So think of a way quickly. Let the people in charge of negotiations in the province help you plan this road."
Li Wenjun shook his head: "It's useless. You also said it. Now I haven't even decided which province I will go to. All these things you want me to do are useless."
Tao Guangming sighed: "Sometimes, I don't know if you are really so calm, or if you are pretending, or if you are already planning to break the pot. You don't think that the money is out anyway, so let's leave it like that."
Li Wenjun replied with a smile: "You really understand me. Anyway, I have already given out my money, so I can only let it go."
Tao Guangming choked up for a moment and sighed: "I really admire you..."
------
Various construction companies, road and bridge companies are gearing up, looking for relevant contacts everywhere, and strive to participate in the North-South Artery Project.
But Li Wenjun, who had just implemented the construction of a municipal road, was extremely quiet and calm.
Tao Guangming sometimes suspected that he was pretending, and would hide secretly to observe Li Wenjun when passing by the door.
It turned out that Li Wenjun was immersed in making a small box like a walkie-talkie. He had no intention of preparing information or calling anyone to get it.
He really gave up...
Tao Guangming was very discouraged.
-----
The New Year is celebrated earlier this year, and the 24th of January is the New Year’s Eve. Liu Cuihong loves liveliness and invites Lao Wangtou, Tao Guangming, Tao Guanghui, Ji Rushi and Ji Qingyan to have New Year's Eve dinner. This year, there are two more babies and two aunts, so Li Wenjun's house is more lively than last year. .
Liu Dongsheng finally came back from the city steel factory. But instead of going home, he planned to celebrate the New Year with Sun Ximei in the factory.
Li Wenjun couldn't stand it and wanted to invite them to his home for New Year's Eve dinner, but Liu Dongsheng was stubborn and refused.
Sun Ximei also said that it was not good to bother Li Wenjun's family every year, and she refused to come.
In the end, Liu Dongmei came forward with Tiao Tiao in her arms and called them over.
Li Wenyong asked Liu Jiefang to come over again.
Come to think of it, this was the first time the couple met after Sun Ximei left home that night.
Liu Jiefang saw some sarcasm on Liu Dongmei's and others' faces.
Li Wenyong poked Liu Dongmei in the back, and Liu Dongmei reluctantly called "Dad".
Liu Dongsheng saw that Liu Dongmei was shouting, so he could only whisper: "Dad."
Liu Jiefang didn't know whether it was because he drank some wine or Sun Ximei and the others didn't talk to him, but his eyes were red all night.
After dinner, everyone watched TV and ate snacks, while two aunties were washing dishes in the back.
Sun Ximei gave each child a two-dollar red envelope, including the one in Ji Rushi's belly.
Ji Qingyan also gave everyone ten yuan, which was forty for four children, which was equivalent to someone else's month's salary.
