Chapter 40: Accidents

A forest fire is no small matter.

What is the forest area of the Little Khing'an Mountains like?

The forest is more than ten meters high, covering the sky and the sun, all kinds of trees and plants in the forest are staggered and horizontal, and the ground is knee-deep dead leaves and weeds, and a forest stretches for more than a dozen hills.

In such terrain, a little fire rises, and that's a big deal.

Li Xian didn't know anything else, but the fire in Mohe in 87 was clear to him as a person from the forest area. Fire points appeared at the same time in five forest farms, and it took only five hours for the fire to advance more than 100 kilometers. In one night, hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest from Mohe to Tahe turned into a sea of fire.

At that time, nearly 40,000 soldiers were mobilized in Longjiang Province, and countless forestry workers and professional firefighters were involved. More than 100 planes of the United Air Force carried out 18 artificial rains, and it took a month to extinguish the fire.

A fire wiped out four of the seven forest farms and four timber storage farms, and 40 million cubic meters of timber were wiped out. In the 87 years, a full 2.5 billion yuan was burned, which made Fei Xiang, who had just sung "A Fire in Winter" at the Spring Festival Gala, carry the blame.

People in the forest area rely on the forest for food, and Dongfeng and Bajiu Forest Farm are only seven kilometers apart.

Seeing that the few construction teams left behind under his hands were in a state of despair, Li Xian reluctantly stopped work and asked them to hurry back to the forest farm to fight the firebreak.

Worried about his family, he also rode a motorcycle back to the Bajiu Forest Farm. As soon as I entered the gate of the forest farm, I saw Li Daoyun standing on the hillside on the side, looking at the lonely smoke in the distance.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

Li Xian hurriedly stopped the motorcycle and beckoned.

"Your father heard that the east wind is on fire, and he has to prepare to move. I'll do the math and see if the fire can get here. ”

Hearing this answer, Li Xian was deeply speechless.

"So, can you burn it here?" he asked.

"Burn a handful. This year, let's walk in the water and overcome the fire elephant. I made a hexagram just now, and there will be rain tonight. This fire, I can't get up!"

When he said this, Li Daoyun was arrogant and dry, and he had the momentum of breaking the country.

As he said this, Li Xian felt a little coolness on his face.

It's raining!

The old man took it with his hand, and when he saw that it was rain, he was deeply surprised: "His grandmother is a bear, the time is wrong?"

In Li Xian's impression, he doesn't remember what kind of fire there was in his hometown in 92. Now that I see that my old lady is all right, and it is raining in the sky, I am even more determined in my heart.

After telling Li Daoyun that he was not going home, he turned around and ran directly to the Forestry Bureau.

On the way to the Forestry Bureau, he finally saw the government's flood power: liberation trucks full of workers carrying wind-powered fire extinguishers like big hair dryers, looking panicked and driving towards the east wind. The firefighting crawler vehicles of the fire brigade of the Forestry Bureau also rumbled in a row to kill the lonely smoke.

The entire Forestry Bureau has been turned upside down.

When he returned to the retreat center, Li Xian saw a group of old men who did not play cards and chess, but guarded the radio and paid attention to the fire.

The veteran cadres have experienced the fire of 87, although they are not in their position now, but everyone knows that the forest fire is the consequence of tens of thousands of people without a home. Most of these people's relatives and friends are in the forest farm below, and they are very worried.

Because of the fire in the east wind, Zheng Weishi was in no mood to deal with Li Xian. just said that today's business came over, and asked him to take the time to go to the industrial and commercial bureau and complete the formalities.

Li Xian didn't plan to do the renovation work for too long, but now it seems that the Forestry Bureau still has a certain future for development. Thinking that there was an organization that would be easier to do in the future, he set off to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Things went smoothly, Zheng Weishi had already greeted the Industrial and Commercial Bureau before, and in less than an hour, Li Xian had already completed the application process and got a reply to get the license next week.

And this success seems to have carried over to other places as well.

After returning from the industrial and commercial bureau for dinner, the announcer's cheerful tone was heard on the radio: The fire in the Dongfeng Forest Farm was extinguished thanks to the joint efforts of the vast number of officers and men and the staff of the Forestry Bureau.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, which had already formed a line, Li Xian also smiled and did not speak.

A group of old men really breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only at this time that Zheng Weishi returned to normal from the state of losing his soul. Seeing Li Xian lying crookedly on the rocking chair with weak breath, he said, "You kid let the frost beat?"

Li Xian pouted, and said the bleak things in the past two days that were affected by the firefighting.

The old man was very strange: "This job is yours sooner or later, what are you in a hurry?"

In front of his general manager, Li Xian did not lie, and poured out the fact that he had set up aluminum ingots for a variety of business bureaus and owed 55,000 huge debts.

Hearing that Li Xian spent more than 60,000 yuan to buy more than 20 tons of aluminum ingots, the old man was stunned.

"Did you kid let the crack in the door? What are you doing when you buy that toy!"

Li Xian was not convinced, and told the old man about the various subtle changes in China's policy after Deng Gong's southern tour, and drew a conclusion from these various signs -- China's economy is about to change.

"Therefore, as long as the economy rises, raw materials such as aluminum ingots and iron ingots will definitely soar. I've bought it for 60,000 now, and it's probably worth 100,200,000 yuan. ”

Looking at his analysis of the Dao, Zheng Weishi waved his hand, "You can pull it." Speaking of reform and opening up, reform and opening up, since 78 years, one has often recovered, and it has been opened and harvested year by year. Is the policy still reliable? Xiao Lizi, I can see that you will lose this deal!"

Wu Shengli, who didn't know when he came over, also agreed, "I think it's the same, the batch of aluminum ingots from the Diversified Business Bureau has been there for more than two years." If there are signs of appreciation, will it still be your turn? Little plum, you think too simply. ”

Li Xian didn't care about the blow of this second general.

In fact, all the policies that Deng Gong had made since his southern tour had been announced internally, and the people in the principle political center did not know it at this time.

Many of the people who have benefited from this spring breeze in the future are basically some bold adventurists. In this era, it is estimated that no normal person would have thought that the dignified China would make an earth-shattering change of "taking the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics".

Therefore, Li Xian has no way to explain to them except for analyzing some signs that have happened so far.

Seeing Zheng Weishi and Wu Shengli's disbelief on their faces, Wang Linhe frowned thoughtfully. Li Xian got up from the rocking chair and came to the three of them.

"Although the forest fire has been extinguished, the forest farms will definitely have to be busy with the aftermath in the next few days, and it seems that my renovation business will be affected. In this case, it is difficult to say whether I will be able to scrape together 55,000 by the end of the month. A few masters, can you move your relationship and let the units repair and repair the office building?"

Regarding Li Xian's request, the reply of the three was to twist themselves collectively.

Seeing this, Li Xian was anxious: "Then lend me some money?"

The three of them turned their backs to Li Xian completely and watched the mahjong over there.

"Your coffin hasn't been delivered yet, and you owe it to us. Do you still want to borrow money now?" old Wu Tou hummed.

"Nine out of thirteen returns!

Li Xian was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted.
