Duan Kefan knew that it would be difficult to discuss the reason for such a discussion, so he thought for a while and said: "In this case, the old branch secretary, you are most familiar with the situation, tomorrow the two of us will go to the scene together to have a look, compare the plans proposed by those water conservancy experts before, see which plan is the most feasible and save the most money, and then I will go to the superior leaders to apply for the allocation of money......

The next day, Duan Kefan and Wang Caihou went to the place where the villagers usually take water to go to the site to investigate, because of the special geological conditions of Rongshu Village, there are too many small karst caves underground, and they can't hold water, so the villagers usually need to go over a mountain col to get water, and then there is a spring on the other side of the hillside, and there are four or five miles to and from Rongshu Village.

In fact, Duan Kefan often comes here to fetch water, and the reason why he asked Wang Caihou to accompany him is because he is familiar with the situation and sees what plan was proposed by the water conservancy experts in the county before, and why it was not implemented in the end.

To say that the scenery of this place where the villagers usually take water is quite good, the clear spring is bubbling, full of greenery, and the road is also a bluestone road, which is very poetic and picturesque, but at this time, Duan Kefan is not in the mood to chant poetry and paint, and eagerly asks Wang Caihou what the solution proposed by the water conservancy experts in the county is?

Wang Caihou pointed to the col when he came and introduced: " At that time, the most feasible and cost-saving solution proposed by the water conservancy experts in the county was to build a pump house and water tower in the mountain pass, pump water up from here, and then bury the water pipe to our village, the budget required about 500,000 yuan, this money was later promised by the county, but the follow-up pumping electricity and daily maintenance fees have to be shared by the people of our village, you also know the situation in our village, many people have no money left at home, so they are not willing to pay this money, and would rather work hard to carry water to drink, so this matter has been delayed……”

Duan Kefan frowned, Wang Caihou said that this problem is not a big problem, as long as the food factory is built, then the follow-up electricity cost and daily maintenance fee for pumping water can be borne by the food factory, and there is no need for the villagers to share it, but the new problem is coming, the water volume of this spring in front of him is not large, the daily water supply to the villagers of Rongshu Village is barely OK, if the food factory is built, the water consumption will increase greatly, and the water flowing out of this spring alone is not enough, and the problem may not be big in the rainy season, but it is estimated that it will be enough to choke in the dry season。

As soon as Duan Kefan said the doubts in his heart, Wang Caihou nodded again and again: "But if you mentioned this question, if you want to build a food factory, the water here alone is definitely not enough, you have to find another water source......

"Then is there a larger water source near here?......" Duan Kefan hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there is a ......" Wang Caihou pointed to the bottom of the mountain and shook his head and said: "Then there is a Xidong River below, the water is sufficient, but that is the territory of Xiaping Village, you want to take water from other people's land, people may not agree, even if Xiaping Village agrees, this pumping distance is too long, the difficulty and cost of the project will increase, and it will not be able to double, at least it will exceed one million, I estimate that the county will definitely not agree to allocate this money......"

Duan Kefan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Don't care about these for now, let's go down and see if it's feasible to get water from the river before making plans......"

Wang Caihou was naturally indispensable, and took Duan Kefan all the way down the mountain path to the bottom of the mountain. Under the mountain is Xiaping Village, the economic situation of Xiaping Village is obviously much better than Rongshu Village, a piece of three-storey small buildings, the cement road leads directly to the village, most people have motorcycles at home, there are several families with cars parked on the Heping, this is the villagers of Rongshu Village dare not think of it, except for Wang Dakui's family has a car, there are very few people with motorcycles in the village.

The reason why the economic situation of Xiaping Village is so much better than that of Rongshu Village is undoubtedly due to the convenient traffic conditions and the Xidong River that passes by the mountain in front of him, Duan Kefan originally thought that the Xidong River was a small river, and when he went to the scene, he found that the river was really not small, and the width of the water surface was six or seven meters. At this time, there are still several villagers of Xiaping Village on the river who are driving small boats to fish, sparkling, light boats and fishing songs, but it is not a good and peaceful atmosphere.

Wang Caihou couldn't help but sigh with some jealousy: "His mother's ancestor in Xiaping Village is good at choosing feng shui, and our Banyan Village is separated by a mountain, but it is stronger than us, if we have such a river in Banyan Village, why are we so poor......

Duan Kefan said with a smile: "Old branch secretary, you can't say that, I think the feng shui of our Banyan Village is not bad at all, and in the future, the villagers will definitely live a better life than Xiaping Village, and their income will be higher......"

Wang Caihou obviously didn't believe Duan Kefan's words, but Duan Kefan was so active in thinking about the development of Rongshu Village, it was not good to hit him, glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I hope so......"

Duan Kefan surveyed along the Xidong River under the leadership of Wang Caihou, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a mountain depression in front of him, turned his head and asked Wang Caihou: "Old branch secretary, is our Banyan Village on the other side of the mountain? If you talk about the horizontal straight line distance, it should not exceed two kilometers?......

Wang Caihou glanced at Duan Kefan with some doubts, nodded and said, "It's almost the same, but it's just separated by such a mountain, just one in the sky and one underground......

Duan Kefan's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but excitedly say: "Old branch secretary, I suddenly have an idea, since there is only one mountain between our Rongshu Village and Xiaping Village, can we choose the thinnest position of the mountain here to build a tunnel, so that we can lead the water of the Xidong River to our Rongshu Village, which means that we also have a river in Rongshu Village...... Do you think this option is feasible?......"

Wang Caihou was stunned by Duan Kefan's whim, and looked at him fixedly for a while, before shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "You really dare to think about it! Let's not talk about whether your plan is feasible or not, have you thought about it, how much will it cost to follow your plan......?
