Chapter 64: Flooding the Ancestral Tomb and Rising Steadily
Lin Jinhong retracted his hand: "Since Minister Wang is also an outstanding comrade of our party, I believe that he will not delay the economic development of the entire village and even the entire Sanxi Town because of one family, and I believe in the ideological consciousness of our party members and comrades." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Wang Yi and said, "Comrade Wang Yi, let's go and see the other two places." As soon as the words fell, he walked forward and passed by Wang Ji, as if Wang Ji was a transparent person. You respect me, I respect you, this is Lin Jinhong's principle of doing things, Wang Ji relied on his brother to be the propaganda minister of the municipal party committee, and he was empty-eyed, and a wave of anger surged in his heart.
Wang Ji didn't expect Lin Jinhong to say these words, and it was not right to pick it up, so he had to watch Lin Jinhong and the three of them go away. "Wang Zhishu, you go and accompany him first, I'll go back and call my eldest brother."
"That's good, I'll go first, it's not good to go with me!" Wang Dafu nodded hurriedly and left.
Lin Jinhong and his entourage came to the site of the second plan, which is to dig the river from the center of the village, which has a certain feasibility, but it needs to demolish about ten houses, and after the river is dug up, a bridge will be built, which is obviously much more expensive.
Coming to the west of the village, Lin Jinhong was completely speechless, this is not only the highest place in the entire Daliao Village, but also the fertile fields in the village of Daliao Village are concentrated here. I don't know why the original experts came up with this plan, it seems obviously not feasible.
"Mayor Lin, the reason why the experts proposed such a plan at that time was to remove all the villages in Daliao and then build a hydropower station in Daliao Village to provide electricity for the residents of Sanxi Town." Wang Yi hurriedly explained after seeing Lin Jinhong's disapproving eyes.
Lin Jinhong was stunned, it turned out that he was preparing to build a hydropower station, which was a good idea, which could not only solve the flood but also bring benefits.
"If a hydropower station is built here, how big will it be, will it be enough to supply electricity for the entire town of Sanxi? What is the reason for not passing this plan? He asked two questions in a row, and then fell into deep thought, there are many factors that restrict the investment of a region, but the most basic of them are nothing more than three: electricity, transportation and communications. Whichever of these three factors is missing, it will seriously damage the basic environment for attracting investment in a region. Now the power supply in Sanxi Town is transmitted by other towns, which is not very stable, and there are not many enterprises in Sanxi Town now, and they can barely cope with it, but what about the future? A big question mark crossed his mind!
"Experts have argued that if the hydropower station is completed, it will be more than enough to supply electricity to the residents of two Xinkang counties!" Wang Yi replied. He did not exaggerate at all, and more than a dozen experts and scholars in the city and county at that time had been carefully demonstrated. As for why this plan was not passed, he did not explain, in fact, this matter is obvious, Wang Ji's family refused to move the ancestral tomb, so he naturally obstructed it in every way.
After listening to the introduction, Lin Jinhong was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this hydropower station to be so big. However, it seems that there are many obstacles to building a hydropower station now, so don't think about it yet, and when Sanxi Town develops and the electricity consumption increases greatly, some people will naturally think of the problem of building a hydropower station.
After reading the three plans and comparing them, only the one in the east is feasible. The four of them walked back, and Lin Jinhong suddenly stopped and asked, "If you choose the plan in the east and lead the river to bypass the ancestral tomb of Minister Wang's family, is it feasible?" ”
Wang Yi shook his head helplessly, "Wang Ji's meaning, no matter what the diversion river is built at that end, it is not allowed to affect their ancestral tombs after completion." Mayor Lin, you said, in this way, if a diversion river is built in a low-lying place in the east, if it is built in the spring flood, their ancestral grave will always be flooded! ”
"Eh, no, didn't the flood in Daliao Village this year also flood their ancestral graves, don't they have anything to say." Lin Jinhong was a little indignant, he always felt that this Wang Min's family was acting as a blessing, and this Wang Min was just the head of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, if he was really made the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a provincial and ministerial-level official, then the Wang family would not be able to dominate the entire Daliao Village as a back garden.
Wang Yi touched his head and smiled rarely: "Mayor Lin, this is a natural disaster, and there is no way to do it!" ”
Lin Jinhong saw from Wang Yi's eyes that he was insincere, and at the same time, he strung together all the information in Daliao Village and found a strange phenomenon. It stands to reason that in order to protect their ancestral graves, Wang Min's family should urge the village and the town to strengthen and raise the embankment in front of the village. In this spring flood, Ma Wei once said that there was no problem in other villages, only Shankou Village was the most serious. Is there anything hidden in this?
Where did the trend of gambling in Daliao Village come from? Why don't the villagers make good use of the disaster relief funds, but instead pin on their illusory gambling luck, are they so sure that there will be a flood next year, and then get the county and town funding? One question after another came to Lin Jinhong's mind. He glanced at Wang Dafu and Wang Yi, and finally sighed silently, obviously both of them can solve their own problems, but ......
"Okay, let's stop here today, and we will notify you when the results of the specific plan for building a diversion river to connect the two rivers come out. Before the river diversion plan came down, the road construction in Daliao Village could only be put on hold temporarily. Secretary Wang, let's go back to town first. Lin Jinhong and Wang Xi said goodbye to Wang Dafu and Wang Yi. Along the way, although the greetings continued, Lin Jinhong panicked, because most of the people he saw were playing cards or mahjong, regardless of men, women and children.
"Brother Hong, are you not feeling well?" Wang Xi saw that his face was pale, and his facial muscles twitched from time to time, and asked with concern.
Lin Jinhong shook his hand: "I'm panicking, hey, there are a lot of stories hidden in Daliao Village!" I'll go back to Shaoyuan Village first, and you can go back by yourself first! Wang Xi nodded when he heard this.
Lin Jinhong returned to his home in Shaoyuan Village from Daliao Village, the sky was dark, the high temperature gradually receded, and his grandfather, who had eaten dinner, was shaking a fan in the yard to cool off, and it seemed quite unexpected to see Lin Jinhong come back. "Why did you suddenly go home today?"
Lin Jinhong smiled reluctantly: "I just came from Daliao Village, grandpa has eaten it!" ”
"Yes!" Grandpa nodded, "Let's take a rest first, I don't see that your face is very good!" ”
Grandma heard the noise inside, hurriedly came out, and saw Lin Jinhong hurriedly asking if he had eaten, Lin Jinhong shook his head, so grandma ran back to the kitchen to give him down. It didn't take long for a bowl of egg noodles to be completed, and he wanted to spray Peng in front of Lin Jinhong.
Xili finished snoring, then went to wipe his face, and went back to the courtyard to sit down in front of his grandfather. Despite his addiction to smoking, he couldn't resist smoking in front of his grandfather, who had quit smoking for several years. "Grandpa, have you heard any rumors about Daliao Village?" He asked vaguely.
"Are you referring to the flood disaster in Daliao Village?" Grandpa squinted and shook his fan for a while. The old man doesn't seem to like electric fans and air conditioners very much, but he has a soft spot for paper fans that have been used in his hands for decades.
"Yes. However, it does not only refer to this one problem, but also the diversion of the river that runs through the front and back of the village, and the gambling style of Daliao Village! Lin Jinhong looked at his grandfather, "This is not far from Daliao Village, have you heard anything special?" ”
"Actually, there is only one question you said, and that is the ancestral tomb of Wang Min's family. Daliao Village has become so complicated because of Wang Min, the propaganda director of the municipal party committee. I'll tell you a story! ”
The ancestors of Wang Min's family were honest farmers for three generations, and Wang Min's ability to become a deputy hall before the age of fifty depended entirely on his ability and luck. When Wang Min was ten years old, a Taoist priest came to his family, and after seeing his face and ancestral tomb, the Taoist priest concluded that he would enter the official career after fifteen years and have a prosperous official fortune. Sure enough, when he was twenty-four years old, he married the daughter of the then secretary of the county party committee, and the next year he entered the official career, and it was smooth sailing until he was the director of the county education bureau, when he was thirty-five years old.
In that year, he met the Taoist priest again, who looked at his face and left a bag for him to open when he ascended again. Two years later, Wang Min was promoted to deputy director of the city's finance bureau, when his father-in-law had been transferred to another province to serve as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Wang Min opened the bag left by the Taoist priest, and there was only one sentence in it!
Lin Jinhong saw that his grandfather suddenly stopped, and said strangely: "Grandpa, what's wrong, what is that sentence?" ”
Grandpa suddenly sighed and said: "There are no wonders in the world, it is written in the bag: Flood the ancestral tomb every year, and make steady progress!" ”
Lin Jinhong was stunned for a moment, but a short sentence made Lin Jinhong suddenly, and all the problems were solved. All the ridiculous things in Daliao Village actually originated from the tips of a traveling Taoist priest. A bag made hundreds of villagers in Daliao Village miserable for several years, and a bag made several villages in Sanxi Town suffer floods every year.
"After hearing this story, what are you going to do now?" Grandpa put away the fan and stared at Lin Jinhong with blazing eyes.
"Grandpa, is this story true or false, and how did such a secret message spread?"
Grandpa squinted his eyes leisurely and leaned back on the recliner: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, truth and falsehood are at ease in people's hearts!" ”
"I decided to build a diversion river in the east of the village to completely solve the problem of spring floods in Daliao Village and several villages downstream, and then build roads in Daliao Village, using Daliao Village as a pilot for adjusting the rural economic structure, and ending the absurd life of the villagers in Daliao Village who wait for floods every year." Lin Jinhong said firmly.
Grandpa nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Since you already have a plan, let it go!" ”
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and Lin Jinhong got up and went back to his room. Grandpa looked at his back and sighed, it seems that you can only toss with you, you won't understand that bit of officialdom if you don't fall down once. As long as you go to Daliao Village with all your might, you will definitely fall within two years, and you will fall badly. But it's okay, now at the grassroots level, you can get up immediately if you fall, and you can buy a lesson. If you really have to wait until the county or city to wrestle again, it will be difficult to do. You have poured the hope of two families and two generations into your body, Old Man Zhou, I hope your idea is right, let this kid break in, hey......
