Chapter 1456: Wasting money and wasting money
On July 23, the Provincial Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning signal for heavy rain. The warning area: the entire province. The combined influence of cold air from Siberia and warm air from the south is expected to cause widespread heavy rainfall in most counties and cities in our province in the next three days. Waterlogging and geological disasters are more likely to occur in the warning area. Relevant units and residents are requested to take precautions.
Defense Guide:
1. The government and relevant departments shall make preparations for heavy rain in accordance with their responsibilities;
2. Drivers should pay attention to road flooding and traffic congestion to ensure safety;
3. Check the drainage systems of cities, farmland, and fish ponds and make preparations for waterlogging.
Two hours before the provincial TV station repeatedly broadcast this news, the meteorological station's report was sent to Zhao Jianhui's desk. The report was more detailed than what was broadcast on TV. According to expert estimates, this time's heavy rainfall , with a long time span and heavy rainfall, it will reach a level that is rare in a century.
After receiving the report, Zhao Jianhui convened an enlarged meeting of the Emergency Standing Committee. He asked all cadres to cancel their vacations, arrange duty preparations, and organize emergency rescue commandos and disaster relief materials from each unit so that they could be dispatched as soon as possible in case of danger. Activate emergency rescue plan.
The military, armed police, public security, and fire fighters, as fresh forces, must be on standby and ready for anything.
The most common disaster in Hedong Province is mining accidents, and the losses to life and property every year cannot be underestimated. As leaders at the provincial, municipal, county, township, and other levels, we naturally dare not take it lightly when we encounter such a huge disaster.
But this time the things arranged by Secretary Zhao are a bit whimsical. For many years, Hedong Province has only suffered from drought. Who has ever heard of people being flooded after heavy rain?
Members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, members, and even leaders of various departments were also arranged into groups. The left-behind ones, the lower urban areas, the lower urban areas, and all counties and cities were also required to set up disaster relief command groups headed by top leaders. Relocation personnel, aren't you just messing around looking for trouble?
While Zhao Jianhui was rushing to Fengcheng City, the mayor of Fengcheng City, He Zhaohong, threw down the phone and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? It's just a heavy rain. What's the big deal? There are so many mountains and rivers in Fengcheng, and I Don’t you believe that heavy rain can flood the city hall?”
At this moment, he was lying in the Mingfeng Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Fengcheng City, with a pretty little beauty riding on his body. The phone call came from his secretary, who reported to him the instructions from Wang Kun, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and asked him to make preparations for flood fighting and rescue operations in accordance with the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee.
Isn't this unfounded worry? What is there to prepare for? I wonder if you are busy right now. What should you call? When he turned over and pressed the little beauty under him, he still thought that he would notify the people below to make a show of it after finishing his own business. As a result, the woman under him was really enchanting. By the time he finished his work, he was already So tired that he was as weak as mud, he lay on the bed and fell asleep, forgetting everything Wang Kun had said.
A similar thing happened in Fengshan County. County Party Committee Secretary Liang Daoguang was dragged to play mahjong by a big boss doing business in the county after lunch. When he was enjoying his victory, his secretary hurriedly approached the club. in the box. After approaching him and reporting in a low voice, Liang Daoguang frowned slightly and said, "I know... Come on, give me the money quickly, haha, I won a big one with this one..."
In the provincial capital, Xian Mingcheng, Yue Linsheng, and the military division commander Liu Yi were left to sit in command and command from the center. Each of the other standing committee members stayed at the grassroots level. Yu Daozhong went to Dayun City, Li Shuyun went to Cuoyang, Le Jing went to Liangzhou, Li Nan supervised Yucheng, Gong Kaiquan went to Xinshui, Cheng Ting went to Shangyang, Propaganda Minister Shu Xiaoping was in Shuofang, and United Front Work Minister Zhuo Zhiqiang was in Pingyang, the day before the storm came, the air was unusually dull. Although the sun was not visible in the sky, it was stuffy and hot, a ghostly weather that made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Jianhui spent two days in Fengcheng, drove hundreds of miles, and visited almost two-thirds of the counties and districts in Fengcheng. When he saw that the cadres below were mobilized and sitting down seriously to prepare for work, he finally felt at ease. Most of it was put back into the stomach.
Even though he was out of town, the phone in Liu Ming's hand kept ringing, reporting calls one after another.
Zhao Jianhui's lunch was all about eating some fast food in the car. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jianhui's car had already entered the boundary of Fengshan County. After the dust of the wind passed, heavy raindrops began to patter. It hit the roof of the car. Looking out from the front windshield, the trees on the roadside were all bowing to the northwest like a salute. Although the wind was strong, the raindrops were heavy but not dense, which made Zhao Jianhui even more uneasy.
Based on my experience as a layman, the raindrops usually fall as big as copper coins at the beginning. After the strong wind passes, that's when the heavy rain really begins.
After checking around casually, Liang Daoguang returned to the office. He had an appointment in the evening. Now he would drink some tea and take a short rest so that he could be energetic for the fight at the dinner table in the evening.
After taking a shower, he was about to lie down on the bed in the room for a while when the phone on the desk behind him rang rapidly. Liang Daoguang frowned slightly and cursed in a low voice: "Why are there so many bad things?" Son..." Even so, he turned around and walked back to answer the phone. The caller was Zhong Xiaofei, the mayor of Fengxian Town.
"Secretary Liang, the resettlement site in Fengzhaogou may not be safe. That place is close to Fengshan. If a flash flood comes, it will be a big trouble. There is another thing, Secretary Liang, the villagers of Fengwowo Village have not been evacuated yet. Now the rain is getting heavier. We don't have enough cars. The people are like moving. They can't take their chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, bottles and jars with them. They don't want to leave..."
Zhong Xiaofei spoke hurriedly with a strong accent. Liang Daoguang was thinking about what to do after dinner in the evening. He didn't hear it very clearly. He instinctively scolded: "You can't solve this little thing. What do you need your town party committee for? I still have to inspect other places. You should find a way to solve the problem quickly. Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee is in our city. If something happens, I can't let you go."
As he spoke, Liang Daoguang hung up the phone with a bang. Zhong Xiaofei on the other end was so angry that he stomped his feet. The resettlement site in Fengzhaogou is close to Fengshan. Some temporary resettlement houses were built at the foot of the mountain for the people who moved out of the mountain valley to live temporarily. Liang Daoguang made this arrangement after playing mahjong for a day and heard that Zhao Jianhui was wandering around Fengcheng.
Fengwowo Village is located on a low depression in the south of Fengshan Mountain. It is backed by Fengshan Mountain and surrounded by rolling hills on the other three sides. A small river runs through the village from west to east. According to Fengshui, this place is a Fengshui treasure land that gathers wind and water.
The villagers of Fengwowo Village have lived here for generations and have been telling the story of the phoenix laying eggs again to hatch little phoenixes. However, the legend is only a beautiful legend. Fengwowo Village is almost isolated from the world because of the difficult roads, but it has always lived in poverty.
However, this place has never experienced severe droughts or floods for many years, and now the government has asked them to relocate, which many people can't understand. The Fengzhaogou resettlement site temporarily designated by Liang Daoguang is just behind Fengwowo Village, less than one kilometer away in a straight line. Does it mean that the flood will only flood our Fengwowo Village, and the place you are talking about will be fine?
Therefore, Zhong Xiaofei mobilized for two days, and less than one-third of the villagers were willing to move. Seeing that the rain was about to fall, and the people in the village had not yet moved, Zhong Xiaofei naturally had to report to Liang Daoguang. Unexpectedly, the leader's voice was loud, and Zhong Xiaofei was choked to death with one sentence.
"He is next door to Mary. It's raining so hard and I'm still working here stupidly. I'm soaked like a drowned chicken, and you don't care? If you don't care, I won't care either..." Zhong Xiaofei put down the phone, shouted fiercely, and called other cadres of the town government to finish work.
In fact, it is normal for him to have this mentality.
Although the TV has been reporting how many houses were flooded and how many people died in a certain province in the south, in the eyes of the local residents of Hedong Province, it is just like listening to the book of heaven. They think that the outside world is very chaotic and lively.
The geographical location of Hedong Province has destined it to be dry and rainy for many years. Just like Zhong Xiaofei, Liang Daoguang and others, they grew up on this land and have never seen much rain in this place. Zhao Jianhui said it seriously at the meeting, and Yu Daozhong also seemed to take it very seriously. However, in the eyes of some cadres in the cities, counties and districts below, Zhao Jianhui and Yu Daozhong are both people who have worked in other provinces for a long time. It is said that the hometowns of these two people are in S Province and East Zhejiang. These two provinces are in the eastern coastal areas. It is either heavy rain or hurricanes all day long. They are used to being nervous when they hear wind and rain. He doesn't know the situation in Hedong Province at all.
It is also understandable that Zhao Jianhui listened to the expert's words and tossed around as if he was facing a great enemy. This idea is also understandable, but it does not need to be so serious in execution. When Secretary Zhao understood what was going on, he would be embarrassed. There was no possibility of investigation. However, if I did everything according to his requirements, the money I spent would be real money. Who would I ask to reimburse me? Liang Daoguang had inspected the site for a day and the resettlement site had been equipped. He thought that he had done his job well and could go to the hotel with peace of mind. Some cadres from the townships below had a similar mentality. After a tiring day, who wouldn't want to go home and rest early? Therefore, when they heard Zhong Xiaofei's call, they all ran back and packed up their things to retreat.
