Yan Yong entered Tan Pingshan's office, and the two looked at each other and smiled. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] It seems that a lot of politeness and greetings are in this knowing smile.

"It's still early, let's go out for a walk first!" Tan Pingshan proposed.

Yan Yong understood and walked out of the office first.

"Landscape Boulevard?" When it was sent to the car, Yan Yong turned his face sideways to ask Tan Pingshan's opinion, and Tan Pingshan snorted and made a statement.

Yan Yong didn't say anything more, he concentrated on driving the car, skillfully moving through sophistication, and when he left the compound of the municipal party committee, he turned onto the landscape avenue.

The landscape avenue they call is a 20-kilometer-long east-west street, and it is also one of the main streets in Qinghe City.

"I really don't know where there are so many cars, the road is getting wider and wider, but it is getting harder and harder." Stop-and-go, it was inevitable to be lonely, and Yan Yong's words box opened again.

"Yes, the car grabs the road with the person, and the person grabs the car with the car, it's strange if it's not chaotic." Tan Pingshan shook his head, and said with a helpless smile: "It's really not good to go to work, get off work, and leave the car, and if you buy a car, you have to give people a license plate, you have to allow people to go on the road, you have to allow people to park, but the road is so wide, so much, there will always be a day when you can't get on the road and can't stop the car." ”

"Also, Hezhou City is like this, as long as there are cars on the road, there are cars parked on the side of the road, which seems to have become a common problem in the city", Yan Yong echoed, "No matter how messy it is, you have to give people a place to park, and you have to study the solution." ”

"How to solve it, you look at the high-rise buildings in the streets and alleys, you look at the vehicles passing through the city, which one is not running on the way to and from work every day, and the highway is jammed on holidays, it is just a statement to tell you how many cars there are in the city." Tan Pingshan sighed and said slowly: "Who doesn't want to go to work and get off work easily, but the industry is transferred, the previous enterprises have moved to the outside of the city or the suburbs, but the employees and families of the company are still in the city, and it is the central location." The center of gravity of the city has shifted, and shopping malls, office buildings, financial centers, and government offices have been built with consumption orientation, but the newly built commercial housing is outside the city, but medical care and schools are in the city. Tan Pingshan said thoughtfully: "In the past, there were plans and plans for urban construction, how many people built how big the city, as well as the corresponding supporting and ancillary facilities. The city wall is enclosed, and the four gates or eight gates around each have their own regulations, and the city is also divided into offices, markets, and education, and they are well organized, and the production workshops are also front shops and back yards, with both production and life, and the streets are criss-crossed, the warp and weft are orderly, and the order is orderly. ”

"That's what I said", Yan Yong seemed to Tan Pingshan, and seemed to say to himself: "It is said that it is people-oriented, but what can be done is two different things, there is a horizontal partition in the middle of the road, people walk by overpass car, and the bus stop is opposite, but if you want to walk over, you have to go a long way, young people are okay to say, sometimes looking at the elderly and women holding children, panting and running up and down, really sweating for them." There are also cars parked on the side of the road, electric vehicles whirring on the sidewalks, and pedestrian walkways are facing danger everywhere. It's easy for adults, but what about children? They grew up in this crowded environment, can they not produce changes in their psychology? Then he said: "The city is originally a complex, is where people live and live, self-improvement, self-maintenance is the basic function, but with the intensification of socialization function, especially the development and progress of the capital age and the information age, governments at all levels are anxious about environmental protection and industrial development, the usual practice is to relocate the original industry as a whole to the suburbs, or rebuild in other places, or concentrate in industrial parks, and some use the opportunity of enterprise restructuring and industrial upgrading, let enterprises fend for themselves, By freeing up land in the city for commercial development, the local government not only has a lot of income from land sales, but also establishes the city's financial and commercial system. Farmland in the countryside has been occupied by the transfer of urban industries or requisitioned by commercial development, houses have been built on the flat, good land on the outskirts of the city, and the supply of food and vegetables can only be provided by the barren land in the farther suburbs. In the past, the second ring road was a suburb, but now it has become a satellite city outside the second ring road. The self-sufficiency function of the city is getting weaker and weaker, and even some cities have evolved into pure consumption cities, and the self-hematopoietic function of the city has almost disappeared, plus the floating population and migrant workers entering the city, there are more and more central cities of millions and tens of millions, and twenty or thirty million megacities are also emerging, and the urban supply is completely dependent on the transfer of foreign places, so any wind and grass will bring about price fluctuations. Isn't it the weakening of the city's own functions? Let's take another extreme example, the earthquake a few years ago, in a county town with a population of more than 100,000 people, two packs of instant noodles, two ham sausages, three bottles of mineral water, and a bread per person every day, it seemed that it was not very difficult to do, but it was difficult to continue at that time. Local stocks are seriously insufficient, and all of them have to be transported from outside to cope with them. If it is Hezhou, Beijing, or Shanghai, how can we ensure the livelihood of the masses, how can we ensure the transportation of large quantities of materials, and how can we ensure that we do not bring about greater social chaos because of the problem of eating? It's scary to think about. But do our current city managers have considered and given warnings? Qinghe City's material reserves are enough for a few days, and how many days can it last in the extreme case of water and electricity and food cuts? Watching the news in the morning, it is strange to talk about the promotion of vegetable prices to CPI. If you look closely, you will understand that the original vegetables were transported to Beijing from other places, not for the life of the people of Beijing, but for the sake of pulling them to important production areas. This explains why prices remain high and logistics has become a price driver. The vegetables in Hedong are planted in large quantities and are good in vegetables, which have been supplied to the Beijing and Tianjin areas for a long time, meeting the living needs of the people in these areas. But now it has to be shipped from Beijing, and the news does not say where it will go, but in private, there are only two ways, one is to digest it on the spot, and the other is to transport it back to Beijing. It is unlikely to be digested on the spot, several counties and cities around Hedong are the main producing areas of vegetables, and no matter how tight the supply is, there is no need to transfer it from other places, so it can only return to the Beijing-Tianjin area and return to the people's table there. But after such a toss, the reputation went up, and the price naturally went up. This is why the vegetable growers are not as good as the vegetable sellers, and the vegetable sellers are not as good as the reasons for selling vegetables, there are too many links and layers of price increases, which promote the price to rise, but the producers do not get any actual benefits, and the cost of the production link can only be digested by the producers to reduce profits, and there are cases where the price of vegetables is so cheap that farmers are unwilling to collect rot in the ground, lettuce in the Tianfu Basin, fresh leaf vegetables in southern Jiangsu, garlic sprouts in the river and sea, and cabbage, have exposed a large number of incidents that rot in the ground, and even extreme events such as suicide of vegetable farmers in Jiangbei, The reason is nothing more than the strange fact that the buyers control the prices and links, the farmers do not increase their income after a bumper harvest, and the vegetable prices are not enough for wages. And this kind of harvest is not a bumper harvest, the extreme case of grain cheapness hurting farmers has now been widespread, "garlic you ruthless", "ginger you army" behind the capital, there are capital in operation, operation, and logistics plays an important role. Basic common sense tells us that reducing logistics links, reducing logistics costs is a necessary link to stabilize prices and stabilize the cost of living, in the past planned economy period, the government increased the supply and suppressed prices through the adjustment of materials, which has also become a major work of government management and services. In today's market economy, the inaction or indulgence of government departments has contributed to the manipulation of the market. The price control has been relaxed, especially the management of the transfer and transportation of materials, and the market has been allowed to operate freely, and there has been a disconnect between production, transportation, and sales, and there has been a 'strange thing' of vegetables turning around. Society is a society under the control of the government, the market economy should also be an orderly economy, encouragement, guidance should be equal to the crackdown, according to the management of market behavior, management of disorderly flow, for the 'hoarding', 'price gouging', 'market manipulation' behavior should be cracked down on by government and legal means, but also the market in order and standardization, and only in this way, logistics will not become the driving force of prices, but the helper of regulating prices. ”

"Yes, you kid, you've made a lot of progress." Tan Pingshan looked at Yan Yong and couldn't help but praise: "There is some depth in thinking." ”

"That is, you think that my brother will only arrest and interrogate people, his limbs are developed and his mind is simple, and I am also improving." Yan Yong's tone was full, and he quickly softened again: "Most of them are from what Tianxiang usually says. ”

Tan Pingshan fell into deep thought, Yan Yong's words, or Qi Tianxiang's worries, made him unable to extricate himself, as one of the decision-makers of the city, although these were not for him to decide, but they were the problems he might face in the future. He understands what kind of response mechanism Qinghe City has, and he also knows very well what kind of state it can be in the face of sudden disasters. In the flood season every year, as long as there is more than the general amount of heavy rain or short-term heavy rain, there will be urban waterlogging, and the culvert crossing the street is flooded, and the situation of the river in the city swelling occurs, the residents are very dissatisfied, and every time they are determined to transform, but everything is back to the same after the rain.

When Tan Pingshan was the deputy mayor, he was determined to carry out the transformation of the underground pipe network in the main sections of the city, and organized the relevant provincial and municipal departments and experts to conduct detailed investigation and demonstration, because most of the underground pipe network in Qinghe City was built in the planned economy period, the pipeline caliber and capacity were planned according to the scale and population of the city at that time, and now the population has expanded nearly ten times, and the area has expanded more than five times. Over the years, the urban sewer network has not been renovated on a large scale, only a small range of repairs, and now it is necessary to carry out transformation, not to mention comprehensive renovation, that is, the focus of renovation, but also need more than one billion yuan of investment. Therefore, it was strongly opposed by Huang Qing, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Qian Xiangzhong, mayor of the city, and was finally stillborn.

He knew that Secretary Huang Qing's focus was not here at all, and for Qinghe City, whose annual fiscal revenue was only 10 billion, one-tenth of the financial revenue was invested in the invisible and untouchable underground pipe network transformation, and the feasibility was worth scrutinizing.

At that time, it was the opportunity of the city to take advantage of the host city of the Provincial Games to vigorously carry out urban environmental improvement, not only to ensure the construction of the Provincial Games venues, but also to improve the early stage of the Sun Valley.

"If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." This is Huang Qing's ridicule of Tan Pingshan's words, not to him in person, but through other people's mouths to Tan Pingshan's ears, and it seems that the person who passed the word did not dare to say it, it is roughly nothing more than not grasping the overall situation and not knowing the priorities and so on.

Huang Qing's so-called top priority, is the 6th Provincial Games to be held in Qinghe City, in addition to the construction of venues, is to take advantage of the Provincial Games to carry out the construction and renovation of the urban environment, the specific plan is to connect the venue of Qinghe Road to widen and renovate, along the street below seven floors of buildings are all demolished, and all buildings along the street are required to implement lighting projects, and the implementation of sectional contracting. The main section of Qinghe Road, which is more than 20 kilometers long, is divided into more than a dozen responsibility areas according to the region, the district party committee and the district government are the first responsible persons, the street and neighborhood committees are the specific implementers, and the municipal party committee and the municipal government coordinate and cooperate with more than a dozen functional bureaus and committees such as urban construction, environment, health, and sports, and all personnel work in the responsibility area. Huang Qing's slogan is: "Work hard for 180 days, fight a war of urban renovation and transformation with the participation of the whole people", and the requirement is "one to grasp the implementation, two to grasp the implementation, and the third is to grasp the implementation", in short, it is to grasp the implementation, and the implementation progress is reported every day, and the results are directly linked to the leadership position and staff salaries and bonuses. During that period, there were construction sites and piles of ruins everywhere along Qinghe Road, and the leaders and staff of relevant units were all in danger, trembling and going into their homes to do work, reasoning, for fear that some mistakes would affect their careers or income.

Because Qinghe Street is the main road of Qinghe City, built in the sixties and seventies of the last century, although there was a large widening and renovation in the late nineties, there are many units and residents along the street, and many of them are old enterprises, most of the residential buildings are the more popular seven-story brick and concrete structure buildings in those years, although some old houses have been renovated and real estate development in recent years, but there are still not many high-rise buildings after all, especially in the central area. This move has aroused great dissatisfaction among residents, especially the opposition of some old workers of difficult enterprises, and the progress of the transformation has been slow, and even caused a group visit incident. No one expected that pulling up the radish and bringing out the mud would bring out the problem of compensation and resettlement in the restructuring of enterprises by housing, and dozens or hundreds of people would continue to gather at the door of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and the group visits would also make trouble at the door of the provincial party committee, making the main leaders of the provincial party committee very dissatisfied.

"You don't have to hold two sessions, because you can't represent the interests and demands of the people in Qinghe City, and there is no point in coming to the meeting." Wang Hao, secretary of the provincial party committee, said seriously and meanly, and did not leave any mercy, "Go back and deal with your own affairs." ”

Huang Qing and Qian Xiangzhong were driven back from the provincial two sessions, they were very faceless, and they also felt that the matter was serious, and the resistance came from the people was the most difficult to do. In desperation, a compromise was made, except for the buildings along the street that have been demolished and must be demolished, the rest of the houses can be retained, but they must be renovated, that is, the spire renovation, and the lighting project must be completed.

To solve the demands and dissatisfaction of the people, lighting and roof renovation is the business of the local government and the construction department, which is relatively easy to implement. All the buildings along the street, except for the tall buildings, have red roofs, and God knows what the practical effect of putting a big spire on top of the flat top out of thin air will be, and how the repair and maintenance will be carried out in a few years, but no one will think about this, but the uniform red roof looks pleasing to the eye.

The lighting project is carried out to the letter, during the Provincial Games, all the lights along the street are required, and the wide Qinghe Avenue is beautiful and colorful for a while, and the neon along the street changes various shapes and colors, making both sides of the street bright and colorful, beautiful, and won the unanimous praise of the participating athletes.

Now more than two years have passed, although there are still requirements from time to time, but some neon signs are broken, some units are not implemented, and some affect the residents to rest and demolish, only some high-rise buildings are still flickering at night, maintaining a little face for this landscape avenue.

Tan Pingshan was pondering, Yan Yong drove the car intently, and he didn't bother him, he knew what the eldest brother was thinking, and he knew why the eldest brother was bothered, but he didn't know how to explain it. Tan Pingshan is carrying too much heaviness and too much responsibility, it seems that everything has something to do with him, and he has the responsibility to take care of it, but the reality often ruthlessly crushes his hope and enthusiasm again and again, and sometimes he himself feels like a persistent fool, falling down again and again and getting up again and again, much like Gaia who pushed a stone up the mountain in ancient Greek mythology, knowing that the result of pushing up was a fall, but he still repeated it without hesitation, and worked hard. But sometimes I feel that I am not, although the giant fails, he can still start again, because the giant has infinite power, but he only has ideals and hopes, but has no power to implement and change.

"Don't think so much, try to make your life easier", in the gap between shifting gears, Yan Yong gently patted Tan Pingshan's hand on his thigh, pretending to tease easily, "It's over so soon, what's the matter, go to the landscape trail again?" ”

"Forget the ball, worry." Tan Pingshan let out a long breath, scolded in a low voice, and motioned for Yan Yong to pull over.

Got out of the car, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Yong, leaned over to the lighter that Yan Yong stretched out, lit it, took a long puff, and grinned knowingly for the tacit cooperation of the two brothers. He didn't speak, but he looked like he was looking from afar, but his eyes were hollow.

Yan Yong said that the landscape trail is just a joking name for the locals in Qinghe, which is an extension of the landscape avenue, and there is a saying that "Huang walks the avenue to the east, and money walks to the west of the trail".

In the second year after the Provincial Games, the National Garden Expo was held in Hezhou City, the provincial capital, and Qinghe City won the opportunity to branch the Garden Expo.

Xiaoqing River is the flow of the Yellow River, passing through the city in Qinghe City, for many years of negligent management, garbage and sewage, as well as urban domestic wastewater are discharged into the river, become a sludge ditch, the masses have great opinions, but as the main drainage and drainage channel of the city, diversion is unrealistic and not feasible.

Qian Xiangzhong advocated the transformation of the Xiaoqing River to restore the glory of this river in the city. In addition to the dredging and decontamination of the river, the biggest change is the greening and beautification along both sides of the river, and it is called "ten miles of long river and ten miles of scenery, and the scenery of the long river is different". A landscape belt has been established along the river, and a number of civic leisure squares have been built. The river not only built several rubber dams, along the banks of the river to build a tree-lined path, and each section is planted with different tree species, willows, sycamores, acacia, ginkgo biloba, etc., the tree-lined path every short distance to build benches for visitors to rest, but also imitate the European town style to build European-style iron street lamps, the lights in the pavilion-like towering glass cover faintly shining warm yellow light. The whole project from the project to the completion of the construction in less than half a year, costing more than 700 million, can be described as a double harvest of time and efficiency, not only completed in advance before the garden fair, but also became a highlight of the garden fair.

But then it also sparked discussions among the public, and it was accused of being a tofu scum of the face project, and was even jokingly called the "lover project." Because the project was contracted by the Qinghe Group in the city, and Yao Hong, the female boss of the Qinghe Group, is said to be Qian Xiangzhong's lover for more than ten years. Therefore, some people questioned how a company without water conservancy construction qualifications could get such a large project, and the project did not carry out the bidding procedure, explaining that although the time was tight, the task was heavy, and the project investment was too large, the city had no financial funds, and the contractor needed to advance funds, so it could only designate enterprises to undertake the construction. But then a large number of problems appeared, all kinds of landscape trees are directly transplanted from large trees, many have not survived, the quality of the benches is very poor, and many have been damaged, most of them have become parking lots after the Citizen Square Garden Expo, and the building land that was forcibly demolished along the river in the past is not green, but has become a commercial real estate land in development, and the transformation of Xiaoqing River has directly raised the housing prices of several buildings under construction along the river, which is also jokingly called for real estate momentum, so as to raise the surrounding housing prices. Some experts pointed out that the Xiaoqing River is the main river channel for urban dredging and flood discharge, and the construction of rubber dams in the river to raise the water level will inevitably bring hidden dangers, and if it encounters heavy rainfall or flooding, the consequences are unimaginable.

But it is in the midst of such criticism that the transformation of Xiaoqinghe has been completed, and more than 700 million yuan of government financial investment has been spent. Nowadays, the boulevard is called the ghost road, the reason is to create a dim and warm lighting effect, the street lamps are all incandescent lamps, and they are all large wattage bulbs, too much electricity, not holidays are basically not open, the lighting is just a string of colorful bead lamps on both sides of the river along the river, a bright and dark rhythmic flickering, reflected on both sides of the river bank weird and mysterious, except for the bold couples, the average person is reluctant to come to the river.

"Two paths, in the end, are dead ends." Tan Pingshan retracted his thoughts, put out the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe and held it in his hand, "Let's go, it's almost time, Tianxiang and they should probably arrive."

Yan Yong listened to Tan Pingshan's pun, and couldn't help but look at the end of Qinghe Avenue, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was in the middle, and the avenue could only pass through the tunnel from underground, but he couldn't see the road in the distance, and Xiaoqinghe was finally blocked by the big river, and it was indeed a dead end.

Yan Yong couldn't help but smile secretly when he thought about it, walked a few steps to catch up with Tan Pingshan, and walked to the car together
