Since the governor himself has spoken, others will naturally have no opinions, and they have expressed their support for this way of handling. The heads of several relevant departments also expressed their stance to Zhang Guoquan on the spot, affirming that they would strictly investigate the matter and not let go of any criminal.

Although Xiao Ping didn't know how the relevant departments of Ludao would investigate this incident, since it was the governor who personally inquired, he believed that someone would be unlucky.

While severely punishing those responsible, Zhang Guoquan did not forget the pollution control, and soon continued: "I suggest that the provincial, municipal and county governments set up a coordination group to jointly formulate a plan to control the pollution of the Xiaozhou River." Don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of spending money, try to minimize the impact of pollution! The environment is to be left to future generations, no matter how careless!"

As the governor of the province, Zhang Guoquan is busy with official business, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily manager. He had already wasted most of his day on the pollution of the Xiaozhou River, and after expressing his opinions on how to deal with the matter, he hurried back to the provincial capital. Only a group of officials from the province, city and county were left to discuss how to deal with the pollution of the Xiaozhou River.

Although Xiao Ping did not have any title, because he had shown his relationship with Zhang Guoquan before, no matter what level of official he was, he was very polite to Xiao Ping. From time to time, someone came over to get close to him, and some people even suggested that Xiao Ping also join the coordination team, which annoyed him.

In order to avoid these troubles, Xiao Ping found an excuse to leave the scene, leaving the group of officials who wanted to behave well in front of the governor in place.

Although everyone wants to behave well in front of Governor Zhang, it is not easy to control pollution. The members of the Coordination Group discussed for several days without being able to reach a consensus. Come up with a comprehensive governance plan.

On the contrary, the public security and discipline inspection departments have become very nervous about the investigation of the pollution incident. It has been confirmed that the mastermind of the sewage incident is Zhang Jigang and his son, and this time the Xiaozhou River pollution incident. It is a serious criminal case of intentional damage to the environment. And the fact that the Zhang family's father and son bribed the deputy county magistrate Yin Guowei and obtained his special care gradually surfaced. I believe that neither Zhang's father nor son nor Yin Guowei can escape the punishment of the law.

But for Xiao Ping. The culprit of the pollution incident is only one aspect of the matter. At present, he is more concerned about how to completely control the pollution and restore the Xiaozhou River to its original clear and green water.

Since the pollution of the Xiaozhou River, Xiao Ping, who is worried, has become very poor in sleep quality. He used to like to sleep lazily, but now he often wakes up before dawn and can't sleep.

This is the fifth day that Zhang Guoquan has personally intervened in the pollution incident, and Xiao Ping woke up early. Unable to sleep, he strolled to the river, and looked sadly at the Xiaozhou River, which was completely different from before, in the faint light of the morning light.

Although it has been several days since the Dongxin chemical plant stopped discharging pollutants, the situation in Xiaozhou River has not changed much. The water is still a faint red color, and the pungent smell is much lighter than the previous days. But you can still smell this strange smell by the river. After all, there are too many pollutants that have penetrated into the silt at the bottom of the river and the soil on both banks, and these pollutants cannot be removed in a short period of time.

Now these pollutants are slowly released into the river, continuing to turn the Xiaozhou River into a river of death. No one knows how long this effect will last, and if it is not thoroughly treated, I am afraid that in ten or twenty years, the Xiaozhou River will still be the same as it is now.

In addition to the chemical odor, the river water has also been filled with the stench of rotting animals in the past two days. After all, all the fish, crabs, aquatic plants and other creatures in the river died, and after a few days, the animals and plants began to decay, further polluting the river.

Seeing that the main water source of the farm was ruined like this, Xiao Ping was really sad and anxious. Now all the water used in the farm's vegetable plots, orchards and fish ponds. All of them have switched to tap water, which will undoubtedly increase costs. What's more, while farmsteads can be temporarily protected from pollution, it is only a matter of time in the long run.

Toxic substances in the river water slowly seep into the groundwater and then pollute large swathes of land. The farm has always been selling high-end agricultural products. If the soil is really contaminated, moving is the only option.

"Bastard!" Xiao Ping was furious at the thought of this, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

It was at this time. A gentle breeze blew off the leaves of a willow tree by the river. The willows have also been affected by the pollution, although it is still late spring. But the leaves have fallen badly in recent days.

The wind carried the yellowish leaves in front of Xiao Ping's eyes, marking an irregular trajectory. At the same time as the leaves drifted in front of Xiao Ping's eyes. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he thought of a way to control pollution.

"Can this be done?" Looking at the turbid river, Xiao Ping couldn't help but hesitate. After all, his approach is costly. If it works, it's fine, and if it fails, the loss will be great.

However, Xiao Ping's tragic situation deeply stimulated Xiao Ping, so he quickly made up his mind, and said to himself: "Try it, even if there are some losses, it is better than doing nothing." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping's mind moved, and he took out a green and flawless leaf from the demon refining pot. This leaf originally grew on a small tree next to the spring, and Xiao Ping had already experienced its effect, which could be called the most precious treasure in the demon refining pot.

Xiao Ping wants to use this magical leaf to control the pollution problem of Xiaozhou River. This is enough to show how much attention he attaches to this pollution and his determination to completely control it.

"Success or failure is here!" Xiao Ping cheered himself up in his heart, and then threw the leaves in his hand into the river with a sigh of concentration.

The green leaves glide smoothly through the air like a paper airplane, almost floating to the middle of the river before falling flat to the water. As soon as the turquoise leaves touched the surface of the water, they instantly disintegrated into countless green points of light and disappeared into the murky river water at a very fast speed.

Xiao Ping held his breath and paid attention to the river, not letting go of even the smallest changes. This time the truth finally did not disappoint him, and at the very place where those green light spots fell into the water, the river quickly became clear, forming a transparent circular pattern.

The circular patterns grew larger and larger, soon joining together and continuing to spread in all directions. It didn't take long for the entire stretch of the river to become clear and return to its pre-polluted state.

To Xiao Ping's delight, the banks of this section of the river have apparently also been purified. The original yellowed plants regained their vitality at a rate visible to the naked eye, and became verdant again. This upheaval also convinced him that the silt and groundwater at the bottom of the river had also been purified, and that the toxic and harmful components contained in the pollution had completely disappeared!

Over time, the "active ingredients" in the leaves also spread downstream with the current, purifying the longer rivers and banks. From the point where Xiao Ping threw out the leaves, the long stretch of Xiaozhou River downstream had become as clear as ever. Although there are no aquatic life such as fish in the river at the moment, it is believed that Xiaozhou will soon return to its original appearance as long as the pollution is gone.

"This ...... It's amazing!" Seeing such a great change in Xiaozhouhe in front of his eyes, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and the smile he hadn't seen for a long time finally returned to his face.

In fact, Xiao Ping just gave it a try with the idea of "a dead horse as a live horse doctor", but he didn't expect the effect to be better than he hoped for, how could he not be ecstatic?

However, Xiao Ping was only happy for a short time, and then he realized that it was not time to be happy. The upstream and downstream of the Xiaozhou River are still badly polluted, and since Xiao Ping knows how to control pollution, it is difficult to manage the section in front of his house and let the pollution rage in other river sections.

After all, the environment is a whole, and if the pollution in the upper and lower reaches of the Xiaozhou River is left unchecked, these pollutants will sooner or later affect the farms.

With this in mind, Xiao Ping immediately took action. He first drove upstream to the Dongxin Fine Chemicals Plant, which is the source of pollution and the first place to be treated.

More than a dozen kilometers of road will arrive in no time. A few dozen meters upstream of the chemical plant, Xiao Ping threw another leaf into the river. This is where the pollution begins, and further upstream it is not affected, so it is best to start the treatment.

Just like what Xiao Ping had seen before, the magical leaves quickly took effect. The area around the chemical plant was the most polluted stretch of the river, but it is now returning to its original clear appearance at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Ping simply got into the car and drove all the way down the road along the river bank to the lower reaches of the river, advancing at the same speed as the river becoming clear, just in time to witness the return of the Xiaozhou River to its original state.

The pickup truck drove downstream of the Xiaozhou River and soon came within reach of the farmstead. The meeting of two rivers that have become clear again means that the pollution from the chemical plant to the farm has been completely cleaned.

Greatly encouraged, Xiao Ping immediately drove downstream, and after driving more than ten kilometers, he found that the river had become muddy again. Seeing that there was no one around, he threw another leaf into the river, and then continued downstream as the river became clearer.

What Xiao Ping saw next was very satisfying. The Xiaozhou River, which has become clear again, flows all the way into the Yangtze River, and there is no longer muddy water and pungent smell.

Seeing Xiaozhou River regain its original appearance, and thinking that it was all his own credit, Xiao Ping was also both relieved and proud. Although he used up three leaves at once this time, Xiao Ping did not regret it in the slightest. Especially when he saw the surprised expressions of the residents on both sides of the Xiaozhou River when they found the river clearer on the way back to the farm, Xiao Ping felt that these three leaves were very worthwhile.
