The day after the rainstorm, as predicted by the weather, it was a sunny day.

After a short period of severe convective rainstorms, the huge Yicheng city area was in shambles.

The situation in the newly constructed area of the development zone is better, Chen Youwei carried out a very rigorous layout of all the plans at the beginning of the construction of the development zone, and spent a lot of effort on bulldozing a large number of hilly areas.

The area of more than 10,000 acres in the development zone is completely a flat plain, and the perfect underground pipeline construction makes the development zone under the test of heavy rain not have too much water accumulation at all.

Yicheng City, an old city that is undergoing a lot of infrastructure construction, is much less satisfactory in the face of such a sudden rainstorm. There are already a lot of historical debts, coupled with the menacing rainstorm and fierce precipitation, some urban roads are seriously waterlogged.

In particular, the railway bridge culvert leading from Yicheng City to Yicheng County, as an old building designed and built in the seventies, not to mention the heavy rainfall in the face of such a momentum, even after the general heavy rain, it is also seriously waterlogged. Yicheng City used a pumping machine to be busy until midnight to drain all the water in the culvert.

The Yicheng district in the upper reaches of the Ming River is already so embarrassed by the heavy rains, so the flooding in those counties in the lower reaches of the Yicheng area is even more conceivable. In particular, there is a huge gap between Dongshan County, which is the east of the Yicheng area, and Yicheng City upstream, and when the rainstorm from Yicheng City arrives in Dongshan County, it is completely like a monstrous flood. The entire county seat of Dongshan County was flooded.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the warning in the Yicheng area, even if it was only an hour at night, I am afraid that the losses in Dongshan County would have been great. After sufficient preparations, Dongshan County, which has to go through flooding almost every year, has obviously coped in an orderly manner, except for some large items that cannot be moved out in a short time, Dongshan County has not suffered much property damage.

Of course, after all, it was a sudden disaster that no one expected, and this overwhelming rainstorm still cost several lives in the Uiseong area.

As secretary of the Yicheng Municipal Party Committee, Chen Youwei called some leaders and staff members of the Listing Committee and Municipal Government early in the morning to take an official bus and personally go down to the grassroots level to inspect the city's disaster after the heavy rain disaster.

After Chen Youwei took office, he generally did not sit in that dazzling Audi car whenever he went to the grassroots level to inspect the work, on the one hand, he was habitually low-key, and at the same time, he deliberately wanted to set a behavioral benchmark for himself and his subordinates.

Normally, the kind of car that can only accommodate a few people, as long as it appears on the road, it must be a huge and spectacular convoy. Coupled with the police car motorcycle leading the way in front of him, such a scene may not have a good impression in the eyes of every passing citizen.

Chen Youwei couldn't control the things in the past, but since he took office, these things that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of ordinary people have gradually changed.

Especially when Chen Youwei really holds power in Yicheng, he timely promotes a series of specific norms such as the code of conduct for civil servants. Not only have the official car use of leading cadres been specifically stipulated, but even very detailed requirements such as a ban on alcohol during lunch time for civil servants have been introduced.

It can be said that after Chen Youwei became the secretary of the Yicheng City Party Committee, the officialdom atmosphere of Yicheng City has undergone all kinds of subtle and fundamental changes.

Even an ordinary citizen who doesn't know much about officialdom can clearly feel the inexplicable changes that have taken place in Yicheng.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who are accustomed to cheating and cheating, this resolute and resolute secretary of the municipal party committee is a bit too impersonal. But in the hearts of more ordinary people, the changes that are happening around them are obvious to all, even if this kind of top-down rules and regulations make people a little restrictive, but they can make their work and life more comfortable, and this little discomfort is not worth mentioning at all.

The newly purchased official bus was spacious and comfortable, and Chen Youwei sat in the front row with a lively discussion with Jiang Wenjun, the deputy commissioner of the Administration in charge of transportation construction.

"Although the rainstorm this time is sudden, it is undoubtedly a severe test for us in Yicheng." Chen Youwei opened the side window, looked out the window at the street after the sanitation workers had cleaned it, and said in a deep voice: "From the actual situation, the roads that have been built and renovated have been redesigned and renovated due to the redesign and transformation of sewers and other facilities, and the problem of water accumulation almost does not exist. ”

"The problem is still in the downtown area with the railway station square as the core, the roads under construction and other supporting infrastructure have not been formed, and these places are almost flooded under the heavy rain." Jiang Wenjun nodded and said.

"This rainstorm has brought great inspiration to our Yicheng, no matter how well a city develops, if there is no good urban drainage system, it means that the city is far from being called a civilized city anyway!"

Chen Youwei looked at the street with faint traces of heavy rain on the side of the road, and sighed faintly: "The sewer really represents the conscience of a city!" ”

Jiang Wenjun glanced at the young leader next to him with complicated eyes, in his eyes, such a rainstorm would definitely not occur often, and it was a bit of a fuss to be so laborious about such an occasional thing?

What else does it say that the sewer represents the conscience of the city, this is also too mysterious!

"Lao Jiang, the population of our Yicheng City is less than 300,000, and if you add the development zone and the county seat of Yicheng, the total population of such a large area is almost four or five hundred thousand. Judging from the current development momentum of Yicheng, I am afraid that it will not be a problem for the population of Yicheng to reach one million in ten or eight years. ”

Perhaps sensing Jiang Wenjun's thoughts, Chen Youwei turned around and took out a cigarette and handed it over, and said with a solemn expression: "The current Yicheng City is a densely populated commercial area, just such a rainstorm will make the whole city panic, it is conceivable that if Yicheng really develops into such a large commercial city with a population of one million or more, if our sewer system has a problem at a critical time, Lao Jiang, do you think that means anything to our Yicheng?" ”

Jiang Wenjun silently lit the fire, took a small sip, and his relaxed expression gradually became heavy.

"A modern large-scale commercial city must be a densely populated society with a very fast pace of life and work, and once there is a rainstorm like yesterday's in such a high-speed city, the consequence can only be traffic paralysis, and the normal operation of society will be greatly impacted." Chen Youwei sighed secretly when he thought of the urban waterlogging problem that occurred and will continue to occur in the future in those increasingly bloated megacities in later generations.

"Secretary Chen is far-sighted, I really didn't think so deeply about such an issue!"

Jiang Wenjun's forehead was slightly oozing sweat drops, and he was recently transferred from the Organization Department of the Prefectural Party Committee to Yicheng City, and then he realized that in front of such a sharp-eyed and long-term leader, he really needed to learn a lot.

Chen Youwei looked at the new deputy commissioner with a smile and said with a smile: "The development momentum of our Yicheng is good, but the framework of a county-level city is far from satisfying the rapid development of the current rapid development. In particular, we are now carrying out a large number of municipal infrastructure projects, which must have a long-term vision and layout, and cannot just meet the current status quo. ”

"Secretary Chen is right, the original design of a city's main road like Zhongshan Road is only two-way four-lane, which is outrageous. I heard that Secretary Chen, you personally revised the plan? Jiang Wenjun, who came out of the office of the agency, patted Chen Youwei a little and said on the back.

Chen Youwei shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not it, Zhongshan Road is too narrow because of some congenital deficiencies, and the original design is also decent." I'm just suggesting that the middle flower bed be removed to leave more room for the driveway. ”

The official bus passed by Yicheng No. 3 Elementary School, Chen Youwei asked the driver to stop, turned his head and said to the officials who were traveling with him: "Everyone knows the basic situation of the city, but I suggest that everyone get off the bus and go to the school to take a look for yourself." Principal Ma of the third elementary school has complained to me that some of the school buildings are a bit old, and we really need to take care of these places. ”

Jiang Wenjun smiled slightly embarrassedly: "The city's financial budget really doesn't have this this year, and the proportion of infrastructure investment this year is relatively large, I told Lao Ma that I will make up for it next year." ”

"That's what I mean, but we still have to check out the situation of the school in person." Chen Youwei snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, put it in the garbage basket next to the car door, and said in a deep voice: "Yicheng Third Primary School is still a key primary school with timely financial allocation in Yicheng, and Lao Ma is calling, so the situation of other schools can be imagined!" ”

Chen Youwei's words made Jiang Wenjun and others depressed for a while, as the leaders in charge of the specific situation, they really felt a lot of pressure in front of the secretary of the municipal party committee.

Yicheng No. 3 Primary School is located in the bustling area of the center of Yicheng City, as the primary school with the most abundant teachers in Yicheng City, it is basically a compulsory school for all school-age children when they enter school.

Almost every September, the three elementary schools in Yicheng have to deal with parents from all over the world, and the leaders of the three elementary schools who have expanded the scale of the school several times have to spend a lot of effort on increasing the number of unplanned students in the floating population in Yicheng every year.

Even with the high borrowing fees imposed on students outside these school districts, the situation of small porridge and large numbers of people still causes headaches for school leaders.

This situation of the three elementary schools in Yicheng is also a common phenomenon in Yicheng, and many migrant workers who have entered the development zone to work have also brought their families with them. The problem of a considerable number of school-age children attending school has become a major problem that needs to be solved urgently in Euicheng.

Fortunately, Chen Youwei has made sufficient preparations for this, and a number of primary and secondary schools and technical schools planned for construction are all within next year's work plan. It's just that there are some things that Chen Youwei still needs to wait for the province to officially approve the withdrawal of land and change the city in the Yicheng area, and only when a new urban area of Yicheng with a larger population is established, perhaps some related ideas can be better built and realized.
