Generally speaking, if any modern city wants to truly become a first-class city center in China or even in the world, it is simply unimaginable without perfect urban infrastructure.

Among them, the main traffic artery that can be called the main artery of the city is the top priority, and it is with reasonable and well-planned urban transportation facilities that can ensure the normal operation of the huge city.

The reason why Qi Shengli and others have a headache about the transportation facilities in Yicheng now is that they are tired of working because the logistics channel is now crowded with traffic every day.

When Cao Huanghuang was in office, several national roads, including those through Yicheng, were renovated to a considerable extent, and according to the budget at the time, these roads should not need much maintenance in the next ten years.

At the time of the initial construction of urban roads around the development zone, the quality and quantity of roads were adjusted to the greatest extent possible in consideration of possible transportation constraints.

In the past few years, countless companies like Eitseong have been developing at almost rocket speed, and the booming foreign trade has made the traffic bottlenecks around the entire urban area increasingly prominent.

In the latest fiscal budget alone, there are many more projects related to the renovation and expansion of transportation facilities than in previous years.

Qi Shengli and the others thought that they now had a deep understanding of the shortcomings of transportation facilities, but they still definitely didn't expect that Chen Youwei's advice to them was even more advanced, and even made them feel that it was not easy to accept.

"The geographical location of Yicheng determines that it will definitely play the role of a transportation center connecting all directions!"

Chen Youwei said quietly: "A very important feature of a modern hub city is that it has convenient transportation arteries in all directions, and from any point of view, the convenience that Yicheng has in this regard is the envy of many places. However, in addition to the most basic railway and highway transportation, a faster and more convenient air transportation can not only improve the efficiency of logistics and transportation, which is also a very worthy aspect for any city with lofty goals. ”

"What Mayor Chen means is that we should not only treat Yicheng as an ordinary industrial city, for example, the development of tourism-related soft economy is also an important part of improving the image of our entire city." Tang Yingfan was stunned, and nodded again and again.

It is effortless to talk to smart people, Chen Youwei secretly praised: "There are a lot of tourism resources in Yicheng, and several scenic spots, including Jitou Mountain Scenic Area, are becoming more and more far-reaching, but this is not enough. If one day the name of the country's four major summer resorts such as Jitou Mountain is truly famous throughout the country, then our tourism industry in Yicheng can be regarded as a real achievement. And having an extremely convenient airport has too many advantages over railways and kilometers of transportation, which can only be used for short and medium distances. ”

Qi Shengli didn't think too deeply, but Chen Youwei's statement was still very good at his thoughts, and he nodded: "Yicheng's GDP last year has surpassed that of the provincial capital Hezhou, and from this point of view, there is no decent aviation airport, which is indeed detrimental to the overall image of our Yicheng." ”

For some signs of great joy in Qi Shengli, although Chen Youwei does not like it, he also understands that this is human nature.

Anyway, there is a relatively rational Tang Yingfan next to him, as long as the other party is not obviously carried away, such a small flaw doesn't matter.

"I remember that there is a small dual-use airport in Hougang Town, and judging from the existing urban framework of Yicheng, the distance of a new modern aviation airport should not be too close to the city!" Chen Youwei is very familiar with the situation in Yicheng, and he will come to the relevant situation as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Hougang Town is more than 40 kilometers away from the city, and it would be a bit troublesome to go without a high-grade highway for such a long distance."

Tang Yingfan looked at Chen Youwei and said with the meaning of inquiry: "I heard that the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway has started to be established, but I just don't know when the construction of the road will really start." From a geographical point of view, if we really start the huge project of airport construction in Yicheng, the road leading to the airport in this urban area can be completely integrated with the planning of such a highway. ”

"Well said!"

Chen Youwei gently admired: "Old Tang's idea is very good! With the existing financial resources of Yicheng, there is no need to wait for the official opening of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, and the total mileage of 40 kilometers is according to the cost of 100 million per kilometer, which is more than 4 billion yuan, which you can completely digest. ”

Qi Shengli said with a smile on the side: "I'm just worried that I won't be able to connect to the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in parallel at that time......"

Chen Youwei waved his big hand and scolded Fang Xuan: "So what? If there really is such a high-level airport lane, this can only make the outside world more envious of Yicheng's generosity and atmosphere! ”

Tang Yingfan was a little excited, and various specific geographical terrains near the Yicheng City area appeared in his mind, and he was a little eager to try: "If you really say that, then the urban area with a total area of two or three hundred square kilometers that we originally planned is really a little childish. With airports and more convenient and efficient highways in the city, I am afraid that the entire urban area will be doubled. ”

"If that's the case, Secretary Qi, the burden on your body is really not light, I'm afraid that the investment in an airport can't be taken without billions, and the investment in highways throughout the city is even more astronomical."

Chen Youwei lightly lit a cigarette and sighed quietly: "What's more important is that if you want to really build the ideal scale of Yicheng, I'm afraid the bill on the large reservoir in Chushandian must also be put on the agenda!" ”

Tang Yingfan's face darkened, and he sighed faintly: "If so many projects are to be implemented together, I am afraid that this will far exceed the current capacity of Yicheng." ”

Qi Shengli's face was full of red light when Chen Youwei was agitated, and he couldn't help but calm down at this time.

Although there was some reluctance in my heart, I finally stopped my fantasy very rationally, exhaled thick green smoke deeply, shook my head and sighed: "We really can't be too eager for quick success, otherwise we will turn good things into bad things, and it will be enough for us to go around without eating!" ”

"Things are not as complicated as imagined, relatively speaking, the approval procedures for the airport special channel will be passed faster, and it is estimated that you will be able to start construction next year."

Chen Youwei smiled and comforted the two: "No matter how fast the approval speed of the airport is, it is impossible to do it in two or three years!" As for the Shandian Reservoir, hehe, the state conducted relevant demonstrations in the 50s, and there were countless rumors in the 80s, but there was still no movement. Therefore, the planning of the whole city is step-by-step, if you want to eat a bite to become fat, then it is better to be respectful and not thankful! ”

"What is the situation of the water conservancy facilities in Yicheng?" Chen Youwei suddenly thought of the upcoming flood this year and asked.

"There is no problem, except for the renovation project on both sides of the Ming River when you were in Minghe District, and now the riverside avenue in the urban area has been repaired to the Pingshan District."

Tang Yingfan still remembers the heavy rain in Yicheng that year, and the young man in front of him personally jumped into the surging river to save people, and said in a deep voice: "The five counties along the lower reaches of the Ming River have also been reinforced with relevant water conservancy facilities, and all the historical debts in the past ten years have been made up. ”

Chen Youwei's heart was relaxed, knowing that this year was the first year that the powerful El Niño phenomenon was known to the world, and he naturally didn't want Yicheng, the hometown that raised him, to be affected and hurt too much.

Raising his wrist and looking at the time, Qi Shengli got up and said with a smile: "Before you know it, we have been chatting for an afternoon, let's go, we will hold a small welcome banquet for you in the banquet hall." ”

Chen Youwei didn't shirk it, and said with a smile: "Then Secretary Qi, you have to be ready, I have rarely had a hard time drinking in the past few years, don't say that I didn't declare it in advance!" ”

Talking and laughing, Chen Youwei and several people came to the spacious and bright banquet hall, and when they first stepped into the hall, the crowd standing in front of them made Chen Youwei feel inexplicable.

The huge banquet hall was overcrowded, and countless excited faces made Chen Youwei in a trance, are these the colleagues who fought together in the past?

"Welcome Mayor Chen to his hometown!"

Someone shouted, and soon the huge banquet hall was boiling with noise.

No matter how good Chen Youwei is in control on weekdays, the excitement in front of him still makes him emotional, and his eyes are red.

"I'm sorry to delay the reunion of everyone and their families!" Chen Youwei tried to calm down some agitated feelings, and waved to many familiar and unfamiliar former colleagues and subordinates.

Qi Shengli and others let Chen Youwei to the guest of honor, and Chen Youwei was naturally humble.

After all, he is today's guest of honor, and with his current status and status, there is no objection at all, and after several pushes, Chen Youwei still sat down.

It is said that the banquet is much more relaxed and casual than the previous formal wine banquet, and after a few glasses with the members of the Yicheng Standing Committee present at Qi Shengli, Chen Youwei held a wine glass and drank with people in front of each table.

"Lao Guan, we want to have a drink, I was very cared for by you in Shuiyang back then!" Chen Youwei greeted everyone he knew enthusiastically.

"Gao Ming, now he is the executive deputy mayor, not bad! Do you want to continue to maintain the current style of not being arrogant or impatient? Chen Youwei smiled with great interest.

"Hey, Liu Wei is also there? It's inconvenient to come from Shuiyang on this snowy day, right? Seeing this secretary who was very close to him in the past, Chen Youwei's eyes lit up.

Liu Wei, who has become the magistrate of Shuiyang County, respectfully held the wine glass and said excitedly: "Secretary, no matter how many words I have, it is difficult to express my heart's gratitude to you, it is all in the wine, I will do it first as a respect!" ”

Chen Youwei didn't say a word, drank it in one gulp, patted Liu Wei's shoulder heavily, and only returned to his seat after each table of people touched a few glasses.

Picking up the full wine glass again, and scanning the many city managers who have worked hard for the beautiful city of Yicheng, Chen Youwei said proudly: "For the future of Yicheng, let's do it!" ”

The people at the scene stood up in unison, raising their glasses with excitement and shouting in unison: "For the future of Yicheng, do it!" ”

For a while, the atmosphere was warm to the extreme, the huge scene was shocking, everyone was bloody, they naturally knew that with the founder of the miracle of the rise of Yicheng in front of them, the future of Yicheng was bright and bright!
