Chapter 57 Fighting the Battle of Highway Construction

After Long Fei returned to Fengshan Village, he wrote an investigation report on the field investigation in Tianlu Mountain, attached a line paper and a "Proposal on Opening the Tianlu Mountain Tunnel", and sent it to Gong Zhengdao, a representative of the city and a professor of Guangxin Agricultural College, and the village committee and town party committee.

After the report and suggestions were sent, in order to meet the breakthrough of the Tianlu Mountain Tunnel and lay a good foundation for the construction of the entire Hexi area outside Tianhetang, Longfei raised his own funds to set off an upsurge of fighting the Hexi Highway in the entire Hexi area, and widened the bumpy sand and mud road in the past to 8.5~12 meters in the form of a mass meeting, laying a good foundation for paving asphalt pavement and creating a good investment environment for the revitalization of the mountain economy.

At the beginning of the road expansion, the roadbed was widened from about 7 meters to 12 meters, which required the occupation of some land along the route and the demolition of more than 10 houses.

At first, the villagers along the road refused to allow the houses to be demolished. The reason couldn't be simpler, the house is their home! The world is big, but it's not as big as your own home! The fact is that no matter what cause or project you do, there is only one purpose, that is, to seek happiness for the masses!

In the beginning, some people couldn't understand. While the members of the village committee were patiently doing the ideological work of the demolition households, and when they were shouting to the demolition households along the line with loudspeakers, some of the demolition households were scolding angrily......

Under the patient persuasion of Liang Ming, a senior village official and commander-in-chief of the highway construction headquarters, those more stubborn demolition households finally understood the truth of expanding the highway and finally let it be demolished.

Some said, "We're so confused! Don't make a mess of the project! ”

Some said: "Is it easy to invest tens of millions of dollars in such a big project?" ”

Some said: "Why did Long Fei and the village committee? Isn't it for the development and construction of our Hexi? Even if we sacrifice a little, it's nothing! ”

Ye Xingwang, a farmer from Shanglong Village, Hexi Village Committee, set up an oil mill next to the road of the village committee, and the economic benefits were quite good, but it needed to be demolished due to the reconstruction of the road. The day after he received the notice, he took the lead in demolishing the house;

In the orchard of Guandong Village, Hexi Village Committee, due to the need to widen the highway, the local people took the initiative to raise their big knives and cut down the fruit trees that hindered the construction of the highway...... They said: "As long as it is necessary for road construction, we will give up the land, demolish the houses, and cut down the fruit trees, willingly!" ”

……

After more than half a year of hard work, the highway of Hexi Village Committee has been transformed from the past sandy "rib road" to a road paved according to the secondary standard roadbed, achieving a historic breakthrough.

Some people say that the transformation of sand and dirt roads is a chapter of Long Fei's "big fight against Fengshan and Hexi highways", and investing huge sums of money to lay asphalt and cement roads is undoubtedly the most exciting section of this chapter.

Before 1986, there was no l km of asphalt in the HX area outside Tianhe Town. In 1996, Ding Yiguang built the first sand road in Fengshan Village and opened it to traffic, but it was for emergency purposes at that time, and with Ding Yiguang going out in debt and the passage of time, these emergency works were difficult to deal with.

The development of things is originally a process of dynamic equilibrium, and the original balance is destroyed and causes a crisis, but if we can get rid of the crisis and rebuild a new balance at a higher level, it is development, that is, a leap.

Can Fengshan and even Hexi rebuild the balance? The key is whether we can take a leap forward in concept.

Long Fei pointed out with great foresight at a highway battle, "Fengshan and even Hexi Highway is not a question of whether to do it or not, but to do it in a big way, with high standards, and it must be done in one step." Long Fei's blazing eyes glanced at the venue, "In the past, when farmers engaged in construction, the most important thing was short-sightedness, small fights, and after a few years, they would have to start again." Most of us here are from agricultural backgrounds, and now that we are engaged in modernization, we must first make a big change in our own concepts, and we must anticipate the needs of development in the next 20 or 30 years! ”

Consensus, reached on this basis, a merit in the present, a benefit in the future of the decision, finally born.

The meeting decided: to speed up the pace of village roads and township roads in Fengshan and Hexi areas, formulate the construction highway policy of "highlighting key points, solving difficulties, and adhering to a high starting point", and establish the strategic deployment of "unified planning, step-by-step implementation, ensuring quality, and one-step implementation", and an upsurge of high-grade highway construction was vigorously launched in the land of Hexi.

The blueprint with "comprehensively upgrading the Hexi Highway" as the main tone was approved by the county planning commission, and it will strive to comprehensively widen and renovate 40 kilometers of village roads and township roads within the year, build a local highway network around several trunk roads simultaneously, and build and renovate 50 kilometers of local roads.

After half a year, Hexi has transformed the exit village road and township road leading to the foot of Tianlu Mountain into a first-class cement road. At the same time, more than 50 kilometers of local roads have also been renovated, and a traffic highway network extending in all directions with rural roads as the skeleton and local roads connecting has been initially formed, creating a geographical advantage of communicating the Pearl River Delta and connecting the southwest.

The construction of the exit road from Hexi to the foot of Tianlu Mountain lasted more than half a year and more than 180 days, and every day was a flash; Every day is a glory; Every day is wonderful!

"No matter how high and big Tianlu Mountain is, it can't stop the pace of construction of Hexi Highway to the Pearl River Delta; The scorching sun, wind, rain, thunder and lightning can't stop the spirit of the people of Hexi! It is the heartfelt voice of the people of Hexi.

……

After more than half a year of hard work, the blueprint with the main tone of "comprehensively upgrading the roads in Hexi" has become a reality!

Hexi has transformed the exit road from the village committee to Tiantian Town into a first-class cement road, and initially formed a traffic highway network extending in all directions with the township road as the skeleton and the village roads connected, creating a geographical advantage of connecting Tianhe Town and connecting the Pearl River Delta.

As Shi Dabin, vice president of Fengshan Group, said: The completion of Hexi Highway has completely changed the status quo of the road, improved the appearance of Hexi, and enhanced the external image of Hexi. This not only meets the needs of economic and social development, but also promotes the better and faster development of the economy of the whole Hexi and even the whole town, which is of great significance.

The construction of Hexi Highway has undoubtedly become the most beautiful scenery in Hexi!

A standard first-class hard-bottom road, a historical leap! It has become the richest, most exquisite and thickest "golden business card" in Hexi.

That's the leap! That's development! This is the great change in the mountain township! What Hexi Highway has changed is not the status quo of thirsty well digging, it has benefited from investing in 20 Chinese New Year's Eve at a time, or even hundreds of years! This is the real sense of infrastructure!

If there is a traffic jam in a place, and you think of rushing to build a road, it is not a decision! The road has been repaired, but with the increase in vehicles, the repaired road is still blocked, and it is a mistake to try to build another road.

Roads are repaired every year, and blocked every year. Such a project is a blind toss!

If we take a forward-looking vision and build roads according to the 50-year plan, the original one-way road will become a two-way road, or four lanes, or even eight lanes, regardless of speed, time, manpower, material resources, financial resources, etc., will be greatly reduced.

Naturally, the local people get benefits, the local taste can be improved, and the happiness index of the local people can be climbed!

This is not only a transformative mindset, but also a completely new concept.

Long Fei and the leadership of Hexi did it!

Before the completion of the Hexi Highway and the ribbon-cutting, Long Fei made a special trip to buy 15 trucks and a batch of cars to transport them back from the waterway and donate them to the Hexi Village Committee and various villages.

Driving on this flat river, wide and flat hard-bottomed road, looking at the entire Hexi Basin, showing a kind of atmosphere, a kind of intensity, a kind of nature and harmony.

There is not only a historical atmosphere, a humanistic environment, regional characteristics, but also a modern atmosphere.

Hexi Highway not only achieved such a grand historical leap (at that time, many towns and even counties did not have standard hard-bottomed secondary pavement), but also created a miracle!

The completion and use of the Hexi Village Committee Township Road into a first-class cement road is like a fine art of calligraphy and painting, highlighting the context and rhythm of the times, highlighting the elegance and holiness of humanity, and will surely become the pride of the people of Hexi and be recorded in the magnificent picture scroll of history.
