After Xin Xian went to Xiaoshan Village, Dakang Village and other places to investigate, he shook goodbye to Qin's father and Qinyin. Wearing that straw hat, alone, while thinking about the construction of the aqueduct, walking, thinking, walking, before you know it, you will return to the county seat.

Originally, there was a car in the county, but the use of a car would attract attention and mobilize people, and it would also incur costs. Xin Xian thought of a way to come to the research alone with a "micro-service private visit", which not only saved costs, but also heard the real thoughts and opinions of the bottom.

Xin Xian's research, Qin Yin, the old farmer, and the Qin father were deeply engraved in his heart. The so-called "threesome, there must be my teacher", aren't these three people his own teachers? Xin Xian felt that his hard work had been well rewarded.

Xin Xian returned to the county seat and reported the situation and his plans to Zhong Gui, a high-ranking official, by telephone.

Xin Xian briefly introduced the history of the shortage of irrigation water sources for farmland in several communes in the county: "Although these places are located between several large mountains, there are basins with an area of hundreds of square kilometers, and there are more than a dozen rivers of various sizes that originate or flow through the surrounding areas, due to the uneven distribution of natural water sources and the few and simple water conservancy facilities before liberation, they were typical areas of bitter drought in history, with frequent droughts and floods. ”

"Didn't some water conservancy projects be built in the local area after the liberation?" Zhong Gui asked.

"After the liberation, the local water conservancy project was built successively, and a number of mountain pond reservoirs were built, but with the development of agriculture, these small water diversion projects and reservoirs can no longer meet the local irrigation needs. In order to solve the problem of drought in the local area, it is necessary to build a water conservancy facility that can meet the needs of agricultural irrigation. Xin Xian said.

"After careful research and research, I believe that the possibility of rebuilding the reservoir, as well as the role and effect of the reservoir, are extremely limited. I plan to build an aqueduct of more than 10 kilometers like the Hongqi Canal to divert water uphill. Xin Xian added.

"Diverting water up the mountain?" Zhong Gui was stunned, and said in a firm tone from the other end of the phone: "As long as it is feasible to serve the people, you should do it firmly." ”

After a pause, Zhong Gui added, "As for the cost, it ...... at the moment."

Before Zhong Gui finished speaking, Xin Xian hurriedly said: "No one has any money at the moment, we will figure it out ourselves." ”

After listening to Xin Xian's investigation report, Zhong Gui instructed all departments of the prefectural party committee to closely support and cooperate with the construction of water conservancy and aqueducts in Linjiang County, and try to meet the requirements in terms of manpower and material resources. Then he smiled bitterly and said to himself, brother, I can help, I can help, and the next thing is up to you.

Xin Xian immediately convened a meeting of the heads of relevant departments and immediately cooperated with the relevant public society to strive to formulate a plan as soon as possible. When the rainfall collection area and the local annual rainfall are insufficient, far from meeting the water storage requirements, let alone meeting the irrigation needs, a large aqueduct was built to divert the water of the river up the mountain. It's a bold idea that requires brainstorming and gathering opinions.

A few days later, the relevant departments completed the meeting and conducted a survey and research. Xin Xian asked the secretary to inform everyone to hold a centralized meeting. Soon, in Xin Xian's office, the heads of all units arrived, and everyone gathered in front of a large tea plate to listen carefully to the reports of various units and communes.

It's still a cliché, drought is a reality, but the real construction of the aqueduct is unsure of everyone's heart.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Xin Xian firmly stated his plan: "Expand the original small reservoirs in the local area into a medium-sized reservoir, and then build an aqueduct about 18 kilometers long to divert the surging water of the river to the arid high-pitched mountainous area." ”

After listening to Xin Xian's plan, the responsible persons of each unit also looked at each other.

Xin Xian broke the silence: "What's the matter?

Someone spoke first: "How much does this cost? With the financial resources of our county, we don't know where to start for such a big project." ”

Some people also spoke: "The idea is good, if this project can be realized, it will fundamentally and completely solve the bitter drought in the arid areas of the county." But after all, the amount of work is huge, and manpower and material resources have become difficult to solve. ”

The water conservancy expert very much agreed with Xin Xian's idea, and said: "If we want to start construction of this big project, our water conservancy department has just assigned a college student, who has a lot of ideas, and can be sent to the construction site to carry out construction." ”

The participants in the meeting had a heated discussion about such a large project, and there was no result for a while. Everyone turned their attention to Xin Xian. Xin Xian is used to it, as the lord of a county, every difficult and dangerous matter, he will make the final decision in the end. He raised his glass and took a sip of tea, looked around at every face around him, and said:

"Our country is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. This reform began in our poorest rural areas, and it is necessary to liberate the rural productive forces as soon as possible, so that the peasants can shake off poverty as soon as possible, solve the problem of food and clothing, and achieve prosperity. And we, every cadre of us here, are the heroes who opened this era of change!"

Xin Xian paused when he said this, he deliberately looked at everyone around him, and found that everyone's gaze was firm. Then, slowly, he stood up and continued in a very firm tone:

"As party members and cadres who have opened an era of change, we must not cower when encountering problems, and we should not avoid anything that is beneficial to the people. For such a major event as the construction of the aqueduct, which is related to thousands of generations, we must set up a foolish ambition to move mountains and dare to teach Linjiang to change its clothes!"

This is equivalent to overriding public opinion, making decisions and making decisions on the construction of the aqueduct on the spot.

The heads of the finance, agriculture and other departments looked at Xin Xian suspiciously. Xin Xian's firm gaze was moving towards them: "For this project, which is related to the problem of food and clothing for the people, we must carry it out if there are conditions, and we must also go to it if we do not have the conditions to create conditions!"

As a result, the construction of large reservoirs and large aqueducts was put on the important agenda of rural and agricultural development in Linjiang County.

After the meeting, Xin Xian immediately informed the communes that they would issue an initiative to build a large aqueduct in each production team and village to solve the local irrigation problem. In particular, it was mentioned that the commune's radio station should quickly mobilize the masses through broadcasting.

Soon the commune's radio station received a notification. From the perspective of the county and the commune, and in combination with the general ideas of the masses, she carefully designed a radio message to respond to the concerns of the masses.

People heard the slightly immature, yet familiar and intimate voice of the piano:

For whom the aqueduct was built? For the sake of the millions of people in our mountainous areas who are waiting for the solution of the problem of food and clothing, in a word, for ourselves.

Who did we rely on for the construction of the aqueduct? It depended on the conscious and voluntary participation of the fathers and villagers in all our villages and villages.

What should we do if we don't have money? We are poor, but we can't be poor and short-lived, and we can't be poor from generation to generation. Not for yourself, even for our sons and grandchildren, we should consciously volunteer to participate and solve the food problem on our own.

Through the radio, Qin Yin explained to the people of the commune the feasibility, difficulties, significance and impact of the construction of the large aqueduct.

Qinyin Broadcasting said: The successful construction of the Hongqi Canal shows that the people in the mountainous areas will certainly be able to rely on their own strength to overcome drought and difficulties, win a better tomorrow for farmland and water conservancy construction, and win a tomorrow when the people's lives will cross the subsistence and clothing line.

The broadcast of the piano sound, causing a sensation. Linjiang County should be like the Hongqi Canal, the feat of building a large aqueduct to lead the water of the river up the high mountains, so that the people in the mountainous areas will be so happy that they can't sleep all night.
