The three of them continued north along the Lou River, which on the map showed that after about 20 kilometers further north, the Lou River would turn west, and the hydropower station was built about three kilometers west of the corner.

It was also the end of the first leg of Liang Jian's trip. It took about half an hour to drive this way. Along the way, the situation in the Loujiang River is much better than in Jingzhou before, although there is not much water, but at least there is some water, but this water is blocked by low embankments. In these more than 20 kilometers of road, there are no less than 10 such embankments, dams hold back big water, and small dikes hold back small water, so where can there be water flowing to Jingzhou.

Liang Jian watched these go all the way up, and the fire in his heart was also piling up all the way. This Lingyang City really doesn't care about the life or death of Jingzhou. However, he also understands that the dam is the problem of the Lingyang government, and these small river embankments should be the hands of local villagers. It's just that, in any case, the final problem is still on that dam, if there is no dam, how can there be a good Lou River, but half of it is dry.

At the foot of the hill is the dam that lies between the two mountains. The gray cement dam is like a giant beast entrenched there, full of coldness, immovable.

"That's the Lingyang Hydropower Station. Chen Jie reminded softly. Liang Jian narrowed his eyes and said to Xiao Wu, "Can you drive it?"

Xiao Wu looked at it and said, "It should be possible." ”

As he spoke, the car was not far ahead, turned right into a slightly smaller cement road, and drove straight towards the Lingyang Hydropower Station.

Naturally, the Lingyang Hydropower Station cannot be entered at will, but the scene behind the dam can be seen clearly. Under the scorching sun, the turquoise river is calm and waveless, reflecting a dazzling light.

Liang Jian squinted his eyes, his expression was as cold as ice and snow in winter.

"I have the contact information of the secretary general of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, do you need me to contact him?" This was their original plan, after confirming the amount of water after the Lingyang Hydropower Station, they decided whether to contact the leaders of Lingyang City directly to discuss the matter of opening the gate and waterproofing.

There is a wind blowing on the river, bringing a trace of moisture. Liang Jian took a deep breath against the wind, and the moisture entered his nose, as if this person was cooler. The anger in his breast was much less.

Liang Jian asked Chen Jie: "Have you taken all the photos you took?"

Chen Jie nodded: "It's all filmed." ”

"Okay, then call their secretary general and ask him to pick up the secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee directly, and I will talk to him directly. Liang Jian said.

"Good. Chen Jie said, holding his mobile phone and walking to the side to make a call. As soon as the phone on his side was dialed out, Liang Jian's mobile phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lou Jiangyuan's, and hurriedly picked it up.

As soon as the phone called, Lou Jiangyuan got straight to the point: "Secretary Liang, where are you?"

Liang Jian looked at the wind-wrinkled water not far away, and the sparkling waves cast into his eyes, making his eyes even smaller: "I'm at Lingyang Hydropower Station." ”

When Lou Jiangyuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Lingyang Hydropower Station?

"I'm thinking that if Jingzhou's problem is to be completely solved, the root cause is still in one word. Liang Jian said.

"Water, huh?" Lou Jiangyuan said with a wry smile: "What you thought of, I also thought of." We also tried to communicate with Lingyang City, but the management of the hydropower station is in their hands, and we do not have the final say. ”

"I know. But we can't make sense, the province should always be of some use. Liang Jian said.

Lou Jiangyuan was taken aback and asked, "The province has already agreed?"

"I haven't reported it to the province yet, but I think they'll agree. After Liang Jian finished saying this, Lou Jiangyuan made a sound, but before Liang Jian could hear it clearly, it was over.

Liang Jian thought, maybe he wanted to ask why he was so sure, and the province would agree. But since he didn't ask again, Liang Jian didn't hear it.

"Then when will you come back?" or will you go directly to the province?" Lou Jiangyuan asked.

Liang Jian looked at Chen Jie who walked back, Chen Jie moved his mouth silently, Liang Jian understood, and said to Lou Jiangyuan: "The secretary of the municipal party committee of Lingyang City invited me to sit down, do you want to come along?"

Lou Jiangyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, then I'll leave now." ”

"You bring some of the information about the affairs of Lianghe Village. Liang Jian instructed Lou Jiangyuan.

"Do you want to ......" Lou Jiangyuan didn't finish speaking, but Liang Jian already understood what he meant: "If you can convince him directly, it's best, you don't need to alarm the province." ”

It took more than two hours from the Lingyang Hydropower Station to the municipal government located in the urban area of Lingyang. After entering the urban area, the economy of Lingyang City is obviously more developed than that of Taihe City, and the development plan in the city is much better than that of Taihe City. The whole city also feels so much better. As the second largest city in Xiling Province, it is not even comparable to Lingyang City, which is ranked in the middle reaches, Liang Jian, as the secretary of the municipal party committee of Taihe City, although he has only been in office for a few days, he still has a strong sense of frustration and a strong will to struggle.

By the time I got to the city hall, it was already past the end of work. When Liang Jian and the others arrived, Comrade Yu Zhenchao, secretary general of the Lingyang City Party Committee, was already waiting at the gate of the city government.

Chen Jie got out of the car and exchanged a few words with him, then got in the car and said to Liang Jian: "Comrade Yu Zhenchao said that the secretary of their municipal party committee arranged dinner and was already waiting in the hotel. ”

Since it is dinner, there must be more than one secretary of the municipal party committee. In such a scene, even if you want to talk about the issue of opening the sluice gate and releasing water, the things prepared by Liang Jian are not easy to directly use as bargaining chips in negotiations with Lingyang City. It seems that the secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee should know why Liang Jian came this time and is prepared.

In front, Yu Zhenchao's car drove slowly, and Xiao Wu followed closely. Liang Jian took out his mobile phone and called Lou Jiangyuan: "Where have you been?"

"It's time to get off the highway. Lou Jiangyuan replied.

"I've changed the place, I'll ask Chen Jie to send you the address later. You go there directly, Lingyang City has arranged dinner. Liang Jian said.

Lou Jiangyuan heard it on the other end of the phone, laughed and said, "This old Zhang is really an old fox." ”

Zhang Heng, secretary of the Lingyang City Party Committee, is 54 years old this year, and he has been in office as secretary of the Lingyang City Party Committee for the sixth year. Since taking office, the economic development of the secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee has accelerated a lot compared with before, and the reputation in Lingyang City is good and very popular. It is said that the relationship with the province is also good.

But just like Lou Jiangyuan said, this Zhang Heng is an old fox.

The dinner is arranged in a five-star hotel in Lingyang City, a crystal hall, and magnificent. When Liang Jian got out of the car, Zhang Heng personally opened the door, followed by a large number of people, Liang Jian glanced at it, it is estimated that the people from the Standing Committee of Lingyang City are here. After greeting one by one, Liang Jian and Zhang Heng were surrounded and walked inside. As we walked, we had a conversation with each other's hearts.

"Secretary Liang came to visit suddenly, in a hurry, the hospitality was not good, and I still hope for Haihan!" Zhang Heng's politeness put Liang Jian in a very high place, as if Liang Jian was not the secretary of the municipal party committee at the same level as him, but a leader from the province.

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Zhang Heng gave Liang Jian enough face, and Liang Jian was not easy to embarrass Zhang Heng. This is Zhang Heng's strategy. Liang Jian naturally understands, although he doesn't like to be put on a high place like this, but now that there are so many people, and the hydropower station is from Lingyang City after all, even if there is a provincial voice, Lingyang City must fully cooperate. Otherwise, just make a little stumbling block for you, which is enough to greatly reduce the effect, and when the time comes, this loss will be a dumb one, and you will have to swallow it if you don't swallow it. Therefore, no matter how high the erection is, Liang Jian can only bear it first.

"Where did Secretary Zhang say, the treatment of the five-star hotel is already very good, where is the hospitality inadequate!" Liang Jian also replied politely. When approaching the private room, Liang Jian glanced at the room, then turned his head to Zhang Heng and said, as if he suddenly remembered just now: "Oh, look at me, I forgot about business." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Chen Jie behind him: "Excuse me, where is Comrade Jiang Yuan? How long will it take to get here?"

Previously, when Chen Jie communicated with the secretary general of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, he did not mention that Lou Jiangyuan would also come. In the previous communication, Liang Jian also deliberately did not mention it. As for why? Liang Jian is capricious.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Lou Jiangyuan was also coming, and when he heard his tone, it seemed that he was about to arrive. Although the problem is not there, it is really a bit sudden. Moreover, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor appeared at the same time, it seems that they are very determined!

Zhang Heng glanced at Liang Jian thinking about it, and thought: This young man looks young, but his thoughts are not shallow.

While thinking, he hurriedly instructed people to add seats, dishes, chopsticks, and adjust. After some methodical busyness, they finally sat down one by one. As soon as he sat down, Chen Jie came over and told Liang Jian: "Secretary Liang, Mayor Lou has arrived at the door." ”

"You go pick it up. After Liang Jian finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "Comrade Jiang Yuan has arrived." ”

As soon as Zhang Heng heard this, he said, "Really, then I have to go to greet him." ”

Liang Jian went to grab him and said, "No, I asked Comrade Chen Jie to greet him." Besides, this is not a formal meeting, Secretary Zhang, don't be so polite. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jie, who had just gone out, had already come in with Lou Jiangyuan again. As soon as he entered, everyone stood up and greeted him politely.

After sitting down again, Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan glanced at each other, and after each saw their own eyes, they both knew in their hearts. At the beginning of the dinner, everyone was very tacit, talking and laughing, and had ideals in life, but no one mentioned anything related to water, not even the general drought in Xiling Province this summer.

Everyone knew what Liang Jian and the two of them were suddenly attacking.

Liang Jian and Lou Jiangyuan also knew that it was not the most appropriate to mention it at this time.

Finally, after the meal was full, the atmosphere reached a similar level, and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was sitting under the mayor of Lingyang City, a fat man with a big belly, stood up, held a wine glass, and faced Liang Jian.

"Secretary Liang, I respect you for this glass of wine. You may not know it, but you're my idol. The secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection had obviously drunk a lot of wine, his cheeks were ruddy, his eyes were misty, and his face was full of spring. But whether you are drunk or not, it is not clear.
