Chapter 203: Environmental Issues
Lu Zhengdong didn't think about including Liangmei in his system now, in his opinion, now is not the best time, when it comes to the level of deputy ministers like her and Liangmei, there is basically no secret about what kind of background everyone is, but Liangmei is different in this regard, others only know her original relationship, and they don't know her relationship with the cloud system, which is a big advantage.
For leading cadres who have reached the level of deputy ministers, the higher they go, the more scarce their positions become, and the positions with real power are particularly scarce, and the fierce competition can be imagined.
Lu Zhengdong wants to have a greater say in the economic aspect, no matter from which angle he considers, he has to face the Zeng family, which already occupies many important positions in this area and hopes to be further strengthened, so he has to grab food.
And this kind of wrestling first depends on its own strength, as well as the support of allies, as well as the exchange of interests in order to maximize their own interests, even so, sometimes there will be a stalemate between the two sides or even many parties, once such a situation occurs, it is likely to launch a more neutral candidate who can be accepted by everyone, and then Liangmei can appear as a surprise soldier.
Liangmei's current background is actually relatively weak, not to mention that there is also a zĂ i competition within it, and it is not easy for Liangmei to break through from it, and this time letting Liangmei go to the group system is actually a clear proof.
This should be the balance made in this round of adjustment to let Liangmei not compete with others, which is also the best for Liangmei, and Liangmei should also know the key to this......
It's just that Lu Zhengdong doesn't understand the woman's mind at this time. Liang Mei's main mind at this time was not on this matter at all. She was still thinking about what happened between her and Lu Zhengdong. I couldn't help sighing in my heart, she was degenerate, she was completely degenerate, in front of Lu Zhengdong, she didn't have a trace of the maturity and stability that a vice governor should have, but like a girl who fell in love and couldn't extricate herself, she couldn't swing her sword to cut the love thread......
After a while, Liang Mei came out of the love of her children and said:
"The mess that I took over from Beihu is that all kinds of problems are concentrated together. If you want to solve all these problems, you can't help them unless you have the ability to go through the sky. But I believe in a sentence, things are man-made, and I am actually quite stubborn, leading and regressing. The more impossible this kind of impossible thing I have to do in a hurry, anyway, I went to Beihu alone, and there is no intersection of interests with the local area, there is a saying that the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, Zhengdong, I know you care about me. But even if I wanted to leave Baylake, I took the initiative to go, not forced to leave. â
Lu Zhengdong nodded. He understood what Liang Mei was thinking, and Liang Mei would puff up her chest even if she wanted to leave......

In summer, the sky is bright very early, and the air in Xihe is much more humid than in the capital, especially in this hot summer, only in the morning this freshness is the most comfortable.
Lu Zhengdong came out of the Xihe Hotel, walked to the riverside, and was very comfortable with the cool breeze in the morning.
In fact, the geographical location of Xiyuan, the provincial capital of Xihe, is unique, where the Tsing Yi River and the Yunjiang River meet, coupled with the injection of the West Wind Canal in the eastern suburbs, the confluence of the three rivers washes out this fertile plain, making it an important granary since ancient times, and giving birth to this historical city.
Higher education is very developed, the cultural atmosphere is strong, the long history and profound cultural heritage, there are many tourist attractions around, there are good scenery for amusement, there are beautiful women coming and going, and the wind is familiar, drinking tea in the shade of the riverside trees, watching the egrets circling on the river, you can spend an afternoon, this rhythm is what many urbanites yearn for the most, but it is such a famous metropolis that can list so many advantages, livable cities, but housing prices have never gone up, this should be the opportunity for many people to receive a good education, There are many opportunities to work and start a business.
This is not Lu Zhengdong out of thin air, but the consensus of the Chinese people, but also the propaganda slogan of Xiyuan, it stands to reason that such a city should be selected as a livable city should have no problem at all, but the result is that it is such a unique city, but it is not a livable city selection, and the housing prices are basically similar to the prefecture-level cities in the east.
Lu Zhengdong is not a proponent of high housing prices, but an opponent of excessively fast housing prices, but in China, the housing prices of a place should reflect the local economic development status from a certain extent, which still makes some sense.
Xiyuan such an embarrassing situation, mainly in the development of ideas out of the deviation, the original very basic urban greening, these years also owed a lot of debts, compared with other similar cities seem to be outdated, rail transit backward, slow construction, urban roads dilapidated, traffic order chaos, but also lack of a variety of stadiums and cultural venues.
Lu Zhengdong has already seen this at the Western Expo, except for the most central area, other slightly remote places are really a problem with transportation.
What's more important is the original blue sky and blue clouds, green mountains and green waters, which are already difficult to see.
Xihe Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Xiyuanli, and now it is a system of one hall and two systems, in addition to ensuring that the provincial party committee and the provincial government have the task of directive reception, the free time is open to the outside world or semi-open, and the profits are obtained according to the business model for the construction of the hotel, which not only reduces the burden on the state, but also expands the development of the cause. Although the brand of Xihe Hotel is not as loud as the five-star Yunjiang Hotel, but in the system, the Xihe Hotel is definitely better than the Yunjiang Hotel, the Xihe Hotel was founded in the fifties, evolved from the Provincial Party Committee Sanatorium, and then there was no name only the mailbox address, and in that era, the mailbox address also means a considerable level of confidentiality units, here are the first to three generations of the core have stayed here, the first generation of the leadership core has lived here for nearly a month, the second generation of the leadership core has stayed here nine times, There are also a number of foreign heads of state and dignitaries have stayed here, and the Xihe Hotel is even more awesome is that the name of the hotel is inscribed by the chief designer of the reform, which is not only unique in Xihe, even if you look at the whole country, it is also rare, in a sense. This is the State Guesthouse of Xihe.
Such a place is naturally scenic. The environment is comfortable. Managers must be doing their best to maintain it, but the impact of the general environment still makes them unable to do anything.
Lu Zhengdong stood on the bank of the river and looked at the turbid river water under the river embankment, it is good, it is summer, the glacier snow peaks in the upper reaches of the Yunjiang River are melting, coupled with the rainfall, it is the wet season, even if some domestic sewage and industrial sewage are discharged, it can be quickly diluted. On the whole, it seems that the pollution of the river water is not strict, and further down is the confluence of the two rivers, the color of the Tsing Yi River is obviously distinct from this side, black, yellow, black and yellow, the Tsing Yi Jiangfu River enters the urban area and flows around the north of the city and the east, if there is no injection of the Yunjiang River, the water situation of the Yunjiang River is much worse.
In fact, Yunjiang carried out a large-scale governance in the 90s, because before that, the Huaxin News Agency published an internal reference article, which directly called the Tsing Yi River the largest urban stinky ditch, which attracted the attention of the party committees and governments at the two levels in Xihe and Xiyuan. But even so, for how to remediate. It was not until Secretary Yang and Governor Chen took office that the mayor who was not well governed was adjusted, and Xiyuan was required to come up with a timetable for rectification, and the project really began.
The new mayor of Xiyuan announced that the Tsing Yi River project is the "No. 1 project" of the current government, and the comprehensive improvement project of the Tsing Yi River has been fully launched. In view of the current situation of the two rivers and the problem that the individual treatment of some river sections in the past has not had a large effect, the Xiyuan Municipal Government is determined to launch a comprehensive renovation project with water control as the core and comprehensively promote the improvement of the urban living environment and the construction of urban infrastructure.
The comprehensive renovation project is a comprehensive urban construction project that takes the river control as the leader and drives the construction of the entire urban infrastructure, the construction of urban communities, the construction of the urban environment, and the construction of the urban ecology. It also has a far-reaching impact on avoiding the deterioration of the urban environment and promoting the sustainable development of urban human settlements.
In the following years, the water of the Tsing Yi River became very clear, and the extinct fish and shrimp swam happily in the river again, and Lu Zhengdong also went to play when he was working in the provincial government.
However, no matter how good things are, they must also persevere, only a few years, the Tsing Yi River has become such a shape again, no wonder some people say that the current Tsing Yi River is not only the world's largest stinky ditch, but now it has become the world's most luxurious and largest stinky ditch.
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but be a little strange, it stands to reason that even if the leader of Xiyuan who governs the Tsing Yi River project changes, the main leader in Xiyuan City who took over is the predecessor who planted trees, and the later one who took advantage of the shade, must also maintain such achievements, thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask some uncles who were exercising in the morning on the side:
Isn't this Tsing Yi River well governed, why has this river become buttery yellow again, it looks wrong. What's going on, no one cares about this? â
"You are rare and strange, in the past two years, a lot of enterprises have been built along the Tsing Yi River, and now the situation is quite good, the amount of water is large, sometimes it passes in one flush, and in winter, you look at the taste, sometimes it can't be eliminated in a month*......"
"These companies with a bad conscience are taking advantage of the current flood to frantically discharge wastewater, mixed with the flood to go down, they are like this every year, I heard my son say, these chemical plants are not good to treat the wastewater are specially packed with pools, when you go to check, he pretends to use special equipment to treat, as long as you go, he will stop the equipment, store, only wait until the summer to rise the water, as long as the amount of water is large, they can take advantage of the night to discharge the water, the Tsing Yi River is big, you really want to discharge a few pools of water out, No one can find out what ......."
An old man who played tai chi said.
"Then why don't they use ...... if they have sewage treatment equipment?"
An old woman next to her didn't know why.
"I heard that the cost of treating those wastewater is very high, these people are only profit-seeking, as long as you can't catch him, he doesn't want to make more black money......
The Tai Chi old man had a disdainful expression on his face:
"And these guys are all in collusion with those people in the local environmental protection department, pretending to be quite similar, you usually can't find out at all, and as for the above, they don't have so much energy to take care of it."
Livability is not about setting up a table to play mahjong, nor is it about lying on a chair and drinking gaiwan tea, and environmental protection is not going to go up. The infrastructure can't keep up. There is no way to talk about livability. The problem is that if the current municipal government of Xiyuan is still like this, it is an ostrich. Nishihara will have a hard time going further.
The old man and the old lady shook their heads and sighed as they walked past Lu Zhengdong.
Lu Zhengdong shook his head slightly, this is still GDP to blame, after the governance of the Tsing Yi River on both sides of the river undoubtedly increased a lot of business opportunities, the government level is not unaware that the opening of enterprises on both sides of the strait will cause pollution to the river, but for the sake of GDP, for the assessment indicators hanging on the head, it will turn a blind eye, in the development of the economy and environmental protection of the contradiction complex. There will always be countless conflicts, and these conflicts constitute the history of environmental advances and retreats.
In such a situation, Xihe is also preparing to apply for an oil refining project to settle in the Xiyuan Economic Development Zone, although the Xiyuan Economic Development Zone is located downwind and downstream of the city, and has little impact on the main urban areas, then this notorious stinky ditch will be extended at least dozens of kilometers downward, including the downstream areas of the Xiyuan and the neighboring counties and cities of the Xiyuan......
Although Xihe has given up the project and settled in the Xiyuan Economic Development Zone, several major economic towns, including Xiyuan Long Beach Lanjing, are actively striving for the project.
Although Lu Zhengdong had already met with the secretary and governor of Nishihara, it was only a routine procedure, and he was sure that the two would definitely have private contact with him about the refining project after his inspection. He's got to really think about it.
In particular, Long Beach and Orchid View sent many people to lobby him, hoping that he could exert influence on the relevant parties, especially the province. So it was included in the declared city, but Lu Zhengdong felt that this was not the best choice.
The leaders of each municipal party committee and municipal government want to surpass Xiyuan, if this project can be settled in Long Beach, it will undoubtedly increase their bargaining chips, and Long Beach does have a certain foundation, whether in terms of economic scale or development speed, environmental awareness is good, the pollution in the city is smaller than that of other cities, and Long Beach is a relatively downstream river basin in the West River, the flow of river water is much larger than that of Xiyuan, and the huge flow of pollutants is also much stronger than the self-purification ability of pollutants, for such a large-scale oil refining project, From an environmental point of view, it is more suitable than Xiyuan, but the industrial base of Long Beach is placed there, and the larger the base, even if you pay attention to it, the impact on the environment will definitely be greater, which is objective.
As for Lanling, Lu Zhengdong felt that it was even more inappropriate, not because the former secretary of the municipal party committee of Lanjing was Jiang Bingming, but because he knew what the great development of Lanjing was when he was the mayor of Mianxi, Lanjing is a typical city in Xihe Province that sacrifices the environment for development, and vigorously introduces a large number of extensive chemical, building materials and mineral enterprises, which also makes Lanjing achieve rapid development, especially when Jiang Bingming was the secretary of the municipal party committee. Jiang Bingming, who is not very good at economic development, does not want others to think that he does not understand the economy, and he has taken this aspect of action to the extreme, under such madness, Lanjing has developed faster, which is the most important reason why Jiang Bingming can be promoted to vice governor.
But in Lu Zhengdong's view, Lanjing is sacrificing the living environment of several generations in exchange for poor GDP, which is a crime against future generations, or it won't be long before the consequences of Lanjing sacrificing the environment in exchange for GDP will begin to appear, and the truth will be revealed at that time, but the damage that has been caused is irreparable, if this project is put in Lanjing, then he is also an accomplice, which is absolutely impossible. In fact, Mianxi may be a good choice, the economic base of Mianxi is relatively low compared with several other cities, and the ventilation conditions are good, the downwind outlet is a wasteland, and the impact on the environment is small.
Of course, the disadvantage is that the location is relatively remote, and for the arrogant oil predators, they may not be willing to build a large project to a relatively remote place.
However, in a few years, with the increase of environmental awareness among the masses, some sensitive large-scale projects, such as the PX project of oil refining, will become street rats, and it will take a lot of effort to choose an address.
Moreover, many local governments are enthusiastic about the introduction of projects, and they also claim to have passed the environmental impact assessment, but they will attract strong resistance from the people.
The same PX, why can't we go abroad?
Internationally, Singapore's Jurong Chemical Island is only 10 kilometers away from the city; The BASF petrochemical site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, is separated from the city of Mannheim by the Rhine River, and they have been in operation and development for many years without major environmental risks. ă
Just as foreign countries can build waste incineration plants in residential areas, China's waste incineration projects often have nowhere to stay.
Such a contrast cannot be explained clearly by a sentence of different national conditions.
But as long as there is a risk of pollution, we can't afford the economic consequences?
It's like PX. PX is an important chemical raw material, the domestic production capacity is far from meeting the production demand, most of the products need to be imported, from the perspective of the national economy and industrial economic security, the development of PX industry, is a strategic consideration. Just as the introduction of large aircraft projects will drive a series of downstream industries, marking a new level of manufacturing in a region, the output of ethylene and PX also represents the overall level of a region's petrochemical industry.
However, there is no objection to the establishment of people on the edge of the urban area, and the country will still encounter strong opposition from the urban area, which is really worthy of the government's consideration...... (To be continued......)
