Chapter 307: Waterworks (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The development of modern cities is inseparable from two basic elements of life: water and electricity.

The power supply in Tongyuan County is becoming increasingly tight, but fortunately, the Chengzhou Power Plant has started generating electricity and has given Tongyuan Power support.

However, the tap water supply in Tongyuan County has become increasingly stretched, especially since the construction of two schools has made water more and more scarce.

The county water company therefore approached He Anjiang, we plan to build a new water plant, your company has so many reservoirs, can you provide a water source?

The county water company took a fancy to the quarry's large reservoir, but was jointly vetoed by He Anjiang and Xu Jingxiang.

If the reservoir becomes a source of domestic water, Xu Jingxiang's breeding career will be completely ruined. Those ducks, geese, there is no play, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, etc., the number must also be strictly controlled.

However, the construction of the water plant is imminent, and the Taohuaxian Company has been tied to a chariot with Tongyuan County, with both prosperity and loss. Let's not talk about the two schools, if there is no running water supply, how will thousands of teachers and students live in the future?

He Anjiang and Xu Jingxiang spread out the map and chose to sacrifice a small reservoir, and the Huling Township Reservoir, which is closer to the county seat, became the water source of the water plant.

The water supply company is one of the few companies in Tongyuan County that is not bad for money, monopolizing the industry and earning money from the residents of the county. Now that the new water plant is being built, several banks are rushing to provide loans.

The more money you have, the more they rush to give you a loan, and the less money you have, the farther away they are from you, and they don't care about your needs at all.

In the area contracted by Taohuaxian Company, the greening rate has been amazingly high, more than eighty percent, the reservoir in Huling Township, the surrounding vegetation has been greatly improved, the water source is sufficient, and the downstream has formed a stream, which is continuous all year round.

The villagers downstream basically take their daily water from this stream. Ox carts, horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, tractors, pull water, can be used for several days, and even water your own vegetable garden.

When they heard that a water plant was going to be built in the county, the villagers downstream protested en masse.

You're going to cut off our way of life, and we've just had a few days of good life, and you're going to cut off our water supply!

This kind of protest has nothing to do with the Taohuaxian Company, and it is up to the water company and Huling Township to go to the scene.

Before the Peach Blossom Fairy Company came to Tongyuan, the water here was never enough.

The use of water, first of all, is to ensure drinking water for people and animals, and as for irrigating farmland, it is too luxurious to think about it. People and animals have to rely on the sky for water, and farmland is even more fateful.

After the Peach Blossom Fairy Company came, God seemed to have opened his eyes, and suddenly it became smooth, the rain was sufficient, and the ravines that had dried up for many years now had streams.

This makes people have more dreams about the use of water. For example, bathing, such as watering the ground, such as raising more poultry and livestock......

Although the water company has repeatedly promised that we will not compete with you for water, and that there will still be this creek, the villagers simply do not believe it.

The people of the water company also went to the countryside to popularize the knowledge of water safety, saying that you take water directly from the creek, it is not safe, there are all kinds of bacteria, and in the future, there will be clean and clean tap water, and we will connect the water pipe to your doorstep, and it will be convenient to use water.

We countrymen, where can we afford running water? Unless you don't take money.

It is impossible not to collect money. If you don't collect money, it won't be enough to build another ten water plants, and the most effective way to save water is to raise the price of water.

This matter was talked about back and forth, and finally it was negotiated as a limited free result. Each nearby villager uses 2 tons of water per month free of charge, and the excess is charged according to the standard price.

Two tons of water, save a little, enough for more than half a month. If you pick up water from the creek, you can pick up to 100 catties of water each time, 2 tons of water, and you have to pick 40 round-trips, and now it is delivered to your door for free, which is also a very good welfare.

He Anjiang consulted about the investment in the water plant, and felt that it was not too big, so he was a little moved and wanted to build his own water plant, but was vetoed by Li Dongwen.

The government's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, and the utilization and development of groundwater resources are subject to taxes. Now that there are officials willing to do this, we are happy to enjoy their achievements, and we don't make any money from this little money that competes with the people.

Li Dongwen quietly opened two springs in the upper reaches of the Huling Township Reservoir, and then left Tongyuan and rushed to Liangzhou.

Tongyuan is now basically on the right track. The industry is relatively stable, and the products are already very rich, in terms of planting, peanuts, rape, sweet corn, hawthorn, wolfberry, mushrooms, hazelnuts, have formed a certain industrial scale, only peach trees have not yet blossomed and fruited.

In terms of breeding, honey, silkworm chrysalis, silk, chickens and eggs are quite stable, aquaculture is gradually taking shape, beginning to see benefits, ducks and geese have begun to lay eggs, goats have raised a lot this year, sufficient feed, corn stalks, peanut stalks, rape cakes, are good sheep feed, rape stalks are not wasted, are fed to fish.

The Peach Blossom Fairy Company has more than one million acres of land in Tongyuan, and now less than half of the area is used, and most of it is still abandoned. In abandoned places, a lot of mushrooms have been harvested this year, most of which are common straw mushrooms, which are not very valuable.

Several executives of Tongyuan Company, Sun Yahui, Sun Xiaoyan, Wang Shujun and Xu Jingxiang, are all eyeing the abandoned mountains.

Sun Yahui plans to expand wolfberry planting, Sun Xiaoyan plans to expand hazelnut groves, Wang Shujun plans to plant jujube trees, Xu Jingxiang wants to expand the farm, in addition to raising sheep, he also plans to raise a group of dairy cows to sell milk in the future.

For such a large-scale industrial planning, He Anjiang specially consulted Li Dongwen. Li Dongwen pondered, let's allocate another 50,000 mu for each family, take it easy, things are scarce and expensive, and if there are too many things, they will not be worth much.

July, Liangzhou in the middle of summer.

Wu'an Taohuaxian Company ushered in a group of college graduates.

Peach Blossom Fairy Company has tasted the sweetness of introducing college graduates, and has increased its efforts to recruit colleges and universities this year. Wang Jun and Zhang Hongxia recruited more than 500 fresh graduates in several colleges and universities in the provincial capital of Lanzhou.

The staff dormitory building has not yet been built, and these people can only live in temporary yurts. Many of these people are primary and secondary school and kindergarten teachers who have been reserved for the new school, and since the school has not yet been completed, they have been temporarily assigned to various district teams for internships.

The construction of Wu'an is in full swing, the wind farm is in the process of equipment installation and commissioning, Li Dongwen quietly arranged a whirlwind array in the wind power plant to stabilize the wind at about level 8.

The water plant is also stepping up construction. The water source is located in the depths of the desert, there is no pollution, only simple filtration and chlorine disinfection, it can be used, and the process is much simpler.

After Li Dongwen returned, he added a new project: a domestic sewage treatment plant.

In the future, the domestic sewage produced by these people's eating, drinking, and lazing will have nowhere to be discharged, and must be treated, even if it is to irrigate the farmland.

The investment in the sewage treatment plant is larger than the investment in the self-supplied water plant, and Zhang Hongxia felt distressed for a while. She thinks that in the countryside, domestic sewage is a good fertilizer, which is used to make fertilizer for farmers, and the cost of treatment outweighs the loss.
