Miao Dawei is the cadre who was assigned to take charge of this matter, he is an old cadre in Liuxi Town, he has worked in the town all his life, he is still an ordinary clerk, he is about to retire, he occupies a position in the town's industrial office, and he is waiting for his retirement, and he will go home to retire.

Like Miao Dawei, there is no one above, there is no hope for promotion, and he basically belongs to a cadre who is a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day, and the town leaders rarely think of him, and it is this kind of unlucky errand that has no oil and water but has to top the tank will be his turn.

There is a more justifiable reason for this matter to be spread to Miao Dawei's head, he happens to be a person from the village not far from the tailings pond, familiar with the situation, the mayor said, he is stationed in the village during this time, and he is afraid that the superiors will make a surprise attack to check it, Miao Dawei is a retired person anyway, so it doesn't matter, he is a little radish head in the town, and he is the town leader when he arrives in the village。

So Miao Dawei rode a motorcycle to the village, and it happened to be a public and private business, to visit a few relatives in the village, and sure enough, the village cadres in the village heard that he came to the village very enthusiastically, and there were revolutionary small wines and meals, and he was drunk by the village cadres almost every night these days.

Of course, the things explained by the superiors still have to be conveyed, at the wine table, Miao Dawei also told the village chief about the tailings dam, the village chief was already drunk, and said nonchalantly: "After so many years, what can happen?......?"

When it comes to money, Miao Dawei is not easy to answer, how can there be money in the town? The secretary and the mayor are still worried about the misappropriation of the town's teachers' salaries, and the town is also selfish in this matter, with this tailings dam, the town can still find an excuse to make a report to the county every year to ask for money, although it is not much, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, if you meet any leader who pays attention to it, the money can be allocated more, for example, like this time, if the tailings dam is really filled in, what reason does the town find to ask for money? The mayor of the town said well, it is necessary to flow for a long time!

"Drink, drink!" Miao Dawei quickly diverted the topic, and after a while, the wine table was crooked, Miao Dawei barely kept his senses, and suddenly heard the sound of dripping rain outside, and his heart chuckled, and he woke up more than half of the wine, and hurriedly patted the village chief on the shoulder, "It's raining! I'm afraid something will happen......."

The village chief opened his eyes drunken and looked outside, waved his hand, and said, "It's raining a little harder, what can happen?!" Don't scare yourself......

After all, Miao Dawei is more knowledgeable than the village chief, although he does not have too professional knowledge, and he does not know much about pollution, drinking water safety or anything, but he is also an old comrade who has experienced antimony mining, and knows the harm of antimony mine tailings slag. Now in the town, he also belongs to the kind of person who reads the newspaper and goes to work, so he can also say a few words and know some things about the current environmental protection.

With past experience, he knows that he is now afraid that he is about to go up, the tailings pond is absolutely not a problem, not to mention the responsibility of the superiors, below the tailings is the village where he lives, once there is a problem, then their village, I am afraid it will fall into a catastrophe.

He didn't care to call the village chief, and he didn't even bother to use an umbrella, so he rushed into the rain, went to the village radio room, turned on the loudspeaker, and directly informed all the laborers in the village, regardless of men and women, to bring hoes, shovels and other tools to the village headquarters to gather.

As the only person in the village who eats public meals, Miao Dawei still has some prestige in the village, as soon as the loudspeaker shouted, the villagers who were ready to sleep came with hoes and shovels, and there was no need for Miao Dawei to do anything arrogant to mobilize, with a big wave of his hand, he said simply, "It's raining, the tailings dam is only afraid that something will happen, the tailings dam collapses, and our village will be finished! Follow me!", the team went straight to the tailings dam!

Miao Dawei does not understand engineering, but many years of grassroots work experience at this time played a role, he went to the scene to see, he knew that his worries were not to scare himself, the town government was looking for the engineering team is completely coping, with cement to the tailings dam cracks simply pasted, now rain, cracked again, can already see a stream of black slag water seepage out.

Don't look at the rain now, but the continuous drizzle does not stop, with the expansion of the crack at any time there is a danger of dam failure, now it is too late to strengthen the tailings dam, the only way is to strengthen the villagers spontaneously erected the earthen dam, if the landslide down the tailings slag block, and then dig a water interception ditch downstream, the flow of toxic slag water to divert away, do not pollute the drinking water source, so of course can not solve the fundamental problem, but in this way you can have a buffer time, waiting for reinforcements from above, at that time, it will be easy to do。

Miao Dawei called a few experienced old farmers in the village to discuss, or not to say that the wisdom of the masses can not be underestimated, this discussion and came up with a lot of good methods, tailings dam is not like a reservoir dam, the reservoir dam is not a leak, a leak is over, the tailings dam is to seep, the risk of seepage out of the dam is much smaller, so the old farmers proposed to cut some bamboo, open the bamboo joints, and then into the dam body, the slag water seepage out and lead to a safe place. When reinforcing the earth dam, you can also add some bamboo tendons or something to it, and in addition, you can drive some wooden piles between the tailings dam and the interception dam to place a wooden pile array, so that even in case of dam failure, it can be buffered.

Just do it, under the command of Miao Dawei, the villagers quickly got up in full swing, reinforcing the earth dam, digging ditches, cutting bamboo, cutting stakes, Miao Dawei temporarily requisitioned the bricks, lime, cement, and other bricks, lime, cement, etc. Sand and other materials, the interception dam built in this way is much stronger than the original earth-rock dam spontaneously built by the villagers, and the villagers are also simple, knowing that this is a major event related to the safety of the village, they did not talk about the price at all, so they used the only few tractors in the village to pull all the materials.

There is also a problem is the lighting problem, it is not safe to pull electricity in the rain, those old farmers played a role again, with ancient skills, tied enough torches, dipped in vegetable oil, even if the rain is heavy, it will not be extinguished.
