Several off-road vehicles drove onto the embankment of the river in Qihe City.

What is surprising is that there are no busy crowds of people on the embankment, nor do you see roaring machinery, only groups of patrolmen patrolling back and forth on the embankment, every 200 meters, there is a tent, from time to time people come out of the tent, come to the river to check the water situation. Suddenly, a large group of people in raincoats got out of the off-road vehicle and went up to the embankment, and everyone watched curiously.

"It's the Prime Minister......"

Suddenly, someone recognized the prime minister, and immediately exclaimed.

But no one dared to come around.

Those who remained on patrol on the embankment were "elite troops", well-trained and disciplined, and did not dare to act without orders.

The Prime Minister smiled mildly and waved to his comrades.

Fan Hongyu smiled and beckoned to everyone.

The patrol members immediately cheered and hulared around.

"Comrades have worked hard."

The Prime Minister took the initiative to extend his hand to everyone, and the patrol members immediately rushed to shake hands with the Prime Minister and greet him respectfully. Although there were many people on the embankment, not long after, dozens of people rushed over after hearing the news and surrounded the leaders in the center.

When the premier walked to the river, the river was still about 10 meters away from the top of the embankment, and it was very unruly and unruly, but under the "pinching" of the strong embankments on both banks, it could only obediently go east, and could not set off big waves.

"Xiao Fan, why are there so few people on the embankment?"

The prime minister walked on the wide embankment and asked casually.

Fan Hongyu replied with a smile: "Prime Minister, this embankment has been strengthened twice and raised once. It was built according to the standard of resisting a major flood once in a century, and the city allocates 12 percent of its fiscal revenue every year for flood prevention work. The preparation is more sufficient, and there is no need to waste manpower on the embankment. It is enough to arrange for patrols and monitors to observe the situation at all times. If there is a real danger, deal with it at any time. The preparation of flood control materials is still relatively sufficient. ”

The tone is quite relaxed.

The prime minister couldn't help but look at him deeply, and made no secret of his approval.

The Qi River was not the first stop of the prime minister's inspection, before that. The premier has already inspected the flood control work in Jiangnan and Jianghuai provinces, and after inspecting Qingshan, he plans to rush to Chunan, Jianghan, Shancheng, Bashu, and other provinces and cities to inspect them. On the embankments of Jiangnan and Jianghuai provinces, there have long been crowds of people, and the machinery is roaring, and it is a scene in full swing. Provincial and municipal leaders went up to the embankment one by one. Pat your chest to the Prime Minister and reassure. "Swear to live and die with the embankment", heroic and dry.

When I arrived at the Qi River, I saw such a "quiet" scene.

If it weren't for the young man's confidence in the embankment he had built. I categorically dare not be so "careless".

"There was a time when morale was still very important."

For a moment. The Prime Minister said this.

Perhaps the leaders of other provinces and municipalities do not rule out the suspicion of putting on a show, but when this natural disaster comes, the leading cadres deliberately create a tense atmosphere, which is quite beneficial to boosting morale and rallying people's minds. If Fan Hongyu's side is too "relaxed", the cadres and the masses will inevitably have paralyzed thoughts, and their vigilance will not be high, and once an unexpected situation occurs, it will not be easy to temporarily organize a commando team and mobilize citizens to evacuate.

Fan Hongyu thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, I think so, Qihe is a megacity, or it is better to be stable." If the cadres and the masses are too nervous, it will cause many other daily work to be suspended, and the invisible losses caused are not small. Since the embankment can be withheld, there is no need for a general mobilization for the time being. Of course, the city is also ready for a full mobilization, and in case of an accident, it can also deal with it. ”

The prime minister smiled and said, "Hehe, you are really confident. So, the flood control levee of the Qi River is impregnable? ”

Fan Hongyu was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, Secretary Fan's thinking flashed back to another world, and it was also this time period, and it was also the prime minister's inspection of Qihe, the mayor of Qihe in that world, who once patted the prime minister's chest on the embankment, calling himself "impregnable" on the embankment. As a result, a few days later, the first wave of flood peaks crossed, and the embankment of the Qi River collapsed, and the water instantly rushed into the city, taking it by surprise and causing heavy losses. Fortunately, the people's army intercepted it in time and sealed the opening with the method of "encircling it with an iron wall," so that no further losses were caused.

After the investigation, the so-called impregnable embankment did not even have steel bars placed in it, and it was directly filled with soil.

When the prime minister heard the news, he was furious and slapped the table and reprimanded.

A large number of officials have been disciplined as a result.

"What, no more confidence?"

Seeing that Fan Hongyu was stunned, the prime minister asked in surprise. This is not like Fan Hongyu in his impression. Although he only met Fan Hongyu once a few years ago, the prime minister knew a lot about Fan Hongyu's growth from Qiu Mingshan. In front of the prime minister, Qiu Mingshan did not hide his admiration for Fan Hongyu at all, and even said to the prime minister: No matter where Fan Hongyu is placed, I can be completely assured.

"No, Prime Minister, have confidence!"

Fan Hongyu couldn't help but straighten his chest and replied loudly.

"I assure the prime minister that the embankment of the Qi River is impregnable!"

"There is no joke in the army!"

The Prime Minister immediately stared at him and asked.

"May there be a military order!"

Fan Hongyu replied without hesitation.

"Good, good. Go back to the municipal party committee and drink hot tea! ”

The prime minister immediately waved his hand, said loudly, turned around and walked down the embankment.

A large group of officials looked at each other and followed closely down the embankment.

"Secretary Fan......"

Cao Cheng suddenly whispered.

Fan Hongyu slowed down a little and looked at Cao Cheng with an inquiring in his eyes.

Cao Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Secretary Fan, the preparations that should be made must be done well, and the propaganda work that should be done cannot be left behind...... Just in case. ”

The expression is very sincere.

After Rong Qigao left Qingshan, the contact between Cao Cheng and Fan Hongyu increased, and between the two, a certain kind of friend relationship was faintly established, although it was not very close, but among officials of their level, this was rare.

"Okay, thank you, Governor Cao."

Fan Hongyu also replied in a low voice.

Cao Cheng is indeed a good intention, and Fan Hongyu appreciates it very much.

Cao Cheng suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Actually, with you in Qihe, I am really more relieved, quite relaxed." ”

In the entire Qingshan Province, Qihe City is the heaviest flood prevention task, and as long as the embankment of Qihe River is impregnable, Cao Cheng, vice governor in charge of flood prevention and drought control, can really breathe a sigh of relief.

According to Cao Cheng's understanding of Fan Hongyu, if he is not more than seventy or eighty percent sure, or even more than ninety percent sure, Fan Hongyu will never slap his chest at the prime minister and the "first brother" of the provincial party committee and say such words that leave no room for the slightest.

Fan Hongyu also smiled slightly.

Don't go against your heart.

The convoy did not return to the compound of the municipal party committee and drove directly into the Qihe Hotel. Qihe Hotel is still the same, the appearance has not changed much, but the interior has been renovated, not to mention how luxurious, the layout is quite simple and atmospheric. Compared with the many high-rise buildings and high-end hotels that have risen in recent years, Qihe Hotel is indeed a bit outdated.

Qi He has money.

The total economic output is already catching up with Hongzhou, and if it continues to develop like this, in a year or two at most, Qihe will surpass Hongzhou and become the most economically developed city in Qingshan Province.

But Fan Hongyu forbade spending the money on the construction of the pavilion.

Strictly forbidden!

Lu Jiu once discussed with him, saying that it was still necessary to allocate funds to rebuild the Qihe Hotel. After all, Qihe Hotel is a government hotel, which is related to the face of the municipal party committee and municipal government, and it is not good if it is too outdated. When the leaders came up to inspect, they were a little unable to do anything.

was still vetoed by Fan Hongyu.

It does not cost much money to repair the Qihe Hotel, and the investment can be recovered soon, Fan Hongyu's main consideration is that he cannot set this precedent for the time being. As soon as the Qihe Hotel engaged in luxury, the opening was opened, and the following districts and counties took this as an example, and gradually the trend of extravagance would spread, and it could no longer be stopped.

Fan Hongyu does not exclude the construction of high-rise buildings, the city wants to develop, to prosper, high-rise buildings must not be missing. What he rejects is that the government should take the lead in building high-rise buildings and building buildings, pavilions, and pavilions on a large scale.

Fan Hongyu also knew that sooner or later he would leave Qihe, and his successor might not be able to continue his policy.

"The iron-clad official of the yamen and the flowing water".

Under the bureaucratic system, this is an unavoidable drawback.

However, as long as Fan Hongyu is in charge of Qihe for one day, this policy cannot be changed, and the idea of frugality must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the vast number of cadres. Fan Hongyu believes that this effort will not be completely in vain. The ideological concepts of the vast number of cadres are not completely unchangeable. It is also good to take 10,000 steps back and say that we can persist in frugality for a while and postpone the arrival of extravagance as much as possible.

The premier and his entourage settled down in the hotel, and after washing his face, he changed into a set of dry clothes and convened a meeting in the small conference room of the hotel.

The meeting was relatively casual, and other leaders in the city were not deliberately notified to attend, but the cadres who followed the prime minister's inspection got together and held a forum.

On the side of Qihe City, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor are there, and they can report to the prime minister on behalf of the city.

After listening to the reports of Fan Hongyu and Lu Jiu, the premier delivered a speech, affirming the work of Qihe, and at the same time warning everyone that in the face of the frontal impact of the once-in-a-century flood, we must be vigilant and not take it lightly. If something happens, everyone must be held responsible.

Fan Hongyu and Lu Jiu both made assurances to the prime minister.

After dinner, the prime minister summoned Fan Hongyu alone, accompanied by Qiu Mingshan, secretary of the provincial party committee. This time, Fan Hongyu's report is much more detailed, and the key work of Qihe in all aspects is involved, and he does not shy away from saying that some of the problems that still exist in Qihe are all explained to the prime minister.

On the whole, the prime minister was satisfied with Qihe's work.

"Fan Hongyu, you are very good, and you have lived up to everyone's expectations of you."

After staring at Fan Hongyu for a while, the prime minister said slowly, his eyes were very pleased.
