Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Engineer Team Comes
Secretary Li and Secretary Ouyang inspected the downstream waterway all the way, and finally decided to reroute the place with the big bend and reopen a new river, so as to solve the problem of flooding and overflowing embankment during the flood season. The amount of work far exceeds that of Sanjiangkou several times, and the transfer of personnel must also increase several times. The two projects were carried out separately, but the preliminary diversion project had to be carried out immediately, and efforts should be made to open up this new river channel within two months, so that the water volume of the river could be reduced and the construction of the embankment would be convenient; and second, the water volume of the river would be smaller, which would be more conducive to widening the river.
The Ministry of Water Resources, through the central organs, dispatched troops to come down, so that the army discipline is relatively strict, and the progress of the project is also large, and the progress of the project will not be affected in the early stage.
As soon as the survey and mapping map came out, the troops arrived at the construction site where the river was being excavated, and immediately set up camp on the surrounding hills, and the logistics troops also brought daily necessities.
When Secretary Li returned to the county, he immediately issued a notice to all the communes in the county, and each commune should allocate half of its labor to repair the Sanjiangkou project. For a week, all the communes were ready to rush to Sanjiangkou to repair the embankment. Zhuji City has 23 communes, and if each commune has 2,000 laborers, there will be 46,000 people, and if each commune has 2,500 laborers, it will have 57,500 laborers.
Secretary Ouyang never expected that the number of people who came in the end reached more than 60,000. At first, Secretary Ouyang thought that no more than 10,000 laborers could be mobilized, but Secretary Li got him more than 60,000, and he was happy, but there was a problem that had to make him embarrassed, these more than 60,000 laborers were all crowded into the Diankou Commune, and there was no place to live, and he looked at Secretary Li with some embarrassment, and he didn't know what to do.
Secretary Li is a clear-eyed person, and when he saw Secretary Ouyang's embarrassed appearance, he knew why he was in trouble. smiled and said: "Secretary Ouyang, these 60,000 people are not many at all, if they are crowded at the entrance of the store, it is indeed too much, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of 60,000 people is a thing, we don't have a car to pick us up, we rely entirely on walking, we can't rush to the construction site far away to work, and we have to walk home after finishing work." Moreover, it is even more inconvenient for so many people to cross the river, and how many boats are needed to send people across the river! This is unrealistic, so many people can only live on the river embankment, build simple houses, and set up tents, and the only way now is that the people who repair the embankment cannot be crowded together, but must be divided into dozens of sections, and only about 10,000 people will be left for repairing the embankment, and every 10,000 people who dig the river will be divided into 10 sections, so that they can be lined up and widened along the river and distributed all the way to the new river mouth where the bend meets. ”
When Secretary Ouyang heard Secretary Li say this, he felt that 60,000 people were not enough, but the people at the entrance of their food logistics store were the masters, and the number of ships coming and going had to increase. So he said: "Secretary Li, I asked Han Laosan to mobilize and make some bamboo rafts to help them transport food." ”
Secretary Li smiled and replied: "Secretary Ouyang, our logistics department has already cut bamboo and cut wood in the mountains near the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and has already made rafts, and you don't have to worry about food, we in Zhuji will have fresh vegetables transported to the pontoon every day, and then sent to our own work place by raft in groups! You don't need to worry about the matter of building a new river, there are troops to take over, there are their operating procedures, no one can enter or leave, and discipline is strict!"
Secretary Ouyang originally wanted to do something for everyone, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to sigh and say: "Secretary Li, I wanted to do something, but I couldn't do anything, you see this, idle and boring!"
Secretary Li smiled and said: "Are you bored? I'm bored to go to your son's place to play for a few days, let everyone see Ouyang Jian's skills, we must learn from him, learn from him or something, as long as we get rid of poverty in Zhuji County, I will feel gratified!
Secretary Ouyang looked at Secretary Li and said: "Secretary Li's mind is Zhuji County, and my Ouyang's mind is the store, as long as the store is done well, I will be satisfied with retiring with a smile! But I only have five years to go, and I will retire in five years, and I can't do anything if I want to! Alas! This life is short and short, and it is long, and it is so short that we have been doing it for more than 30 years, and we have not done anything, and someone has told you that you are going to retire······
Secretary Li smiled and asked, "It seems that Secretary Ouyang is also very sorry······!
As he was talking, Han Laosan rushed over, and when he saw Secretary Ouyang and Secretary Li, he said: "Secretary Li, Secretary Ouyang, I want to make some rafts, the trees and bamboos on the nearby mountains have been cut down, what do you tell me to do, isn't this a hurry to die?" He rubbed his hands and walked around, not knowing what to do.
Secretary Ouyang was about to tell him that there was logistics to make a raft, but at this moment, Wang Ling'er came in a hurry, and said while running: "Secretary Ouyang, it's not good, it's not good, the old stubborn, the old stubborn killed all the pigs, and said that he wanted to welcome everyone's arrival, and his pigs were not enough to fight their teeth, how to divide it?"
Secretary Ouyang looked at Secretary Li, Secretary Li looked at Secretary Ouyang, he couldn't believe this old stubborn, why didn't he tell the commune in advance, he made his own opinion, what was he going to do.
Secretary Ouyang shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what to say, so he had to ask: "The old stubborn man has killed a few pigs, tell him to stop!"
Wang Ling'er replied with a pout: "Killed, killed, a total of thirty-six pigs, killed in the middle of the night last night, it has been dealt with, just wait for how to distribute!"
Secretary Ouyang frowned and asked: "You didn't ask the old stubborn, how many people came, he killed the pig inexplicably, this pig was killed, and now I don't know how to divide it, so he came to me, this guy is too ignorant!"
Wang Ling'er didn't know what to do, so she stood there silently.
Secretary Li thought about it, since the pigs have been killed, let's kill them, then divide them according to thirty-six parts, and the rest of the ones that have not been distributed will be reissued from the food next time. So he said: "Secretary Ouyang, since the old stubborn man killed all the pigs, then hand it over to me! I have a way to distribute it, the old stubborn man has this heart, we are very grateful to him, what others have not shared, the next time the food is transported, we will reissue a copy, just say that these pigs are all from the Mujiawan brigade to comfort everyone, Secretary Ouyang, what do you think?"
Secretary Ouyang replied with a bitter face: "Secretary Li, isn't this telling me to open my eyes and talk nonsense? It's obviously not my own, but I insist on saying that it's my own, and my old face doesn't know where to go! Old stubborn, old stubborn, this time the face of the Diankou Commune has been lost by you! Doing good deeds has turned into doing stupid things, it's really infuriating!"
"Well, Secretary Ouyang, look at what you said, what is called a good thing has become a stupid thing, you don't say it, I don't say it, we don't say it, who else knows our white lie! Just do it according to my will, and don't blame yourself! The old stubborn man is also a good intention, let's not treat his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Secretary Li said with a pleasant face.
Secretary Ouyang asked puzzledly: "Secretary Li, do you really want to do this, can this work?" Secretary Ouyang was full of sadness, and some unspeakable embarrassment.
Secretary Li saw Secretary Ouyang's embarrassed appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Ouyang, I just say okay, we not only have to send pigs to condolences, but also organize people to beat gongs and drums, and condolences must look like condolences!"
