Several off-road vehicles drove up the Qihe City River Embankment. !
Surprisingly, we saw no busy people or roaring machinery on the embankment. We only saw groups of patrol members patrolling back and forth on the embankment. There was a tent every two hundred meters. , from time to time someone came out of the tent and came to the river to check the water situation. Suddenly, they saw a large group of people in raincoats getting out of off-road vehicles and onto the embankment. Everyone watched curiously.
"It's the Prime Minister"
Suddenly someone recognized the Prime Minister and immediately exclaimed.
But no one dared to come around.
Those who stayed on patrol on the embankment were all "elite troops" who were well-trained and disciplined. They did not dare to move without orders.
The Prime Minister showed a gentle smile and waved to the comrades.
Fan Hongyu smiled and waved to everyone.
The patrol members immediately cheered and gathered around.
"Comrades, you have all worked hard."
The Prime Minister took the initiative to greet everyone, and the patrol members immediately rushed to shake hands with the Prime Minister and say hello respectfully. Although there were many people on the embankment, dozens of people came over soon after hearing the news and surrounded the leaders in the center.
The Prime Minister walked to the riverside. The river was still about ten meters away from the top of the embankment. It was rolling and impacting, very unruly. However, under the "pincer attack" of the strong embankments on both sides, he could only go eastward without making big waves. Come.
"Xiao Fan, why are there so few people on the embankment?"
The Prime Minister asked casually while walking on the wide embankment.
Fan Hongyu replied with a smile: "Prime Minister, this levee has been strengthened twice and raised once. It was built according to the standards to withstand a once-in-a-hundred-year flood. The city allocates 12% of its fiscal revenue every year to use For flood control work. If we are well prepared, there is no need to waste manpower on the embankment. We only need to arrange patrol teams and monitors to observe the situation at any time. If there is a danger, we can deal with it at any time. The preparations for flood control materials are relatively sufficient."
The tone is quite relaxed.
The Prime Minister could not help but look at him deeply and did not hide his approval.
Qihe is not the first stop for the Prime Minister¡¯s inspection. Before this, the Prime Minister has inspected the flood control work in Jiangnan and Jianghuai provinces. After inspecting Qingshan, he plans to rush to Chunan, Jianghan, Shancheng, Bashu and other provinces and cities to inspect. On the embankments in Jiangnan and Jianghuai provinces, there were already huge crowds of people, machinery roared, and it was a lively scene. Provincial and municipal leaders stepped onto the embankments one by one and promised the Prime Minister that they "swore to live and die with the embankment." They were so heroic.
When we arrived at Qihe, we saw such a "quiet" scene.
If this young man had not been so confident in the levee he built, he would never have dared to be so "careless".
¡°There is a time when morale is still very important.¡±
After a while, the Prime Minister said this.
Maybe the leaders of other provinces and cities do not rule out the suspicion of showing off, but when this natural disaster strikes, leading cadres deliberately create a tense atmosphere, which is good for boosting morale and uniting people. If Fan Hongyu is too "relaxed", cadres and the masses will inevitably have paralyzed thoughts and low vigilance. If an unexpected situation occurs, they will want to organize a temporary commando team to mobilize citizens to evacuate.
It¡¯s not an easy task.
Fan Hongyu thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, this is what I think. Qihe is a megacity, and it is better to be stable. If the cadres and the masses are too nervous, it will cause many other daily tasks to be suspended, causing a lot of hidden losses. Since If the levee can withstand it, there is no need for general mobilization for the time being. Of course, the city has also made all preparations for full mobilization in case of an accident, and it can be dealt with."
The Prime Minister laughed and said: "Haha, you are really confident. So, the flood control embankment of Qihe River is impregnable?"
Fan Hongyu was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, Secretary Fan's mind flashed back to another world. It was also during this time that the Prime Minister inspected Qihe. The mayor of Qihe in that world once patted the Prime Minister on the embankment and claimed that the embankment was "impregnable." As a result, a few days later, the first wave of flood peaks passed by, and the Qihe embankment collapsed. The water rushed into the city instantly, catching the city by surprise and causing heavy losses. Fortunately, the people's army intercepted it in time and used the "iron wall encirclement" method to seal the opening, so no greater losses were caused.
After investigation, it was found that the levee, which was said to be impregnable, did not even have steel bars placed inside, but was filled directly with soil.
After hearing the news, the Prime Minister became furious and slammed the table.
A large number of officials were punished for this.
"What, no confidence anymore?"Seeing Fan Hongyu stunned, the Prime Minister asked in surprise. This is not like the Fan Hongyu in his impression. Although he only summoned Fan Hongyu once a few years ago, the Prime Minister learned a lot about Fan Hongyu's growth from Qiu Mingshan. In front of the Prime Minister, Qiu Mingshan did not hide his admiration for Fan Hongyu at all, and even said to the Prime Minister: No matter where you put Fan Hongyu, I can feel completely at ease.
"No, Prime Minister, I have confidence!"
Fan Hongyu couldn't help but straighten his chest and answered loudly.
"I assure the Prime Minister that the Qihe embankment is impregnable!"
"There is no joke in the army!"
The Prime Minister immediately stared and asked.
"I would like to issue a military order!"
Fan Hongyu replied without hesitation.
"Okay, very good. Go back to the municipal committee and drink hot tea!"
The Prime Minister immediately waved his hand, said loudly, turned around and walked down the embankment.
A large group of officials looked at each other and followed him down the embankment.
"Secretary Fan"
Cao Cheng suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Fan Hongyu slowed down his pace slightly and looked at Cao Cheng with a look in his eyes.
Cao Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Secretary Fan, we still need to make good preparations, and we must not neglect the publicity work we need to do just in case."
The expression is very sincere.
After Rong Qigao left Qingshan, the number of contacts between Cao Cheng and Fan Hongyu increased, and a certain kind of friendship was established between the two. Although it was not very close, at their level Among officials, this is rare.
"Okay, thank you Governor Cao."
Fan Hongyu also replied in a low voice.
Cao Cheng did have good intentions, and Fan Hongyu appreciated it very much.
Cao Cheng suddenly smiled softly again and said, "Actually, with you in Qihe, I feel more at ease and relaxed."
In the entire Qingshan Province, Qihe City has the heaviest flood control task. As long as the Qihe embankment is impregnable, Cao Cheng, the deputy governor in charge of flood control and drought relief, can really breathe a sigh of relief.
Based on Cao Cheng¡¯s understanding of Fan Hongyu, he is not more than 70% to 80% sure, or even less than 90% sure. Fan Hongyu will never slap his chest to the Prime Minister and the ¡°first brother¡± of the Provincial Party Committee and say such words without leaving any room.
Fan Hongyu also smiled slightly.
Don¡¯t go against your heart.
The convoy did not return to the municipal party committee compound and drove directly into Qihe Hotel. Qihe Hotel is still the same, the appearance has not changed much, but the interior has been renovated. It is not very luxurious, and the layout is quite simple and elegant. Compared with the many high-rise buildings and high-end hotels that have gone up in recent years, Qihe Hotel is indeed a bit outdated.
Qihe is rich.
The economic aggregate has almost caught up with Hongzhou. If it continues to develop at this rate, Qihe will surpass Hongzhou in one or two years at most and become the most economically developed city in Qingshan Province.
But Fan Hongyu prohibited the money from being used for the construction of pavilions and pavilions.
Strictly prohibited!
Lu Jiu once discussed with him and said that it was still necessary to allocate funds to rebuild the Qihe Hotel. After all, Qihe Hotel is a government hotel, which affects the face of the municipal party committee and government. It is not good if it is too outdated. When the leaders came to inspect, they were a little confused.
It was still rejected by Fan Hongyu.
"Renovating the Qihe Hotel will indeed not cost much money, and the investment will be recovered quickly. Fan Hongyu's main consideration is that this precedent cannot be set for the time being. As soon as the Qihe Hotel becomes extravagant, the door will be opened. If the following districts and counties take this as an example, the trend of extravagance will gradually spread and can no longer be stopped.
Fan Hongyu does not reject the construction of high-rise buildings. If a city wants to develop and prosper, high-rise buildings are indispensable. What he rejects is for the government to take the lead in building high-rise buildings and large-scale construction of pavilions and pavilions.
Fan Hongyu also knows that sooner or later he will leave Qihe, and his successor may not be able to continue his policy.
"An official with a strong yamen and a smooth flow of work".
Under the bureaucratic system, this is an inevitable drawback.
But as long as Fan Hongyu is in charge of Qihe, this policy cannot be changed, and the idea of ??frugality must be deeply rooted in the hearts of cadres. Fan Hongyu believes that this effort will not be completely in vain. The ideological concepts of the majority of cadres are not completely unchangeable. To put it another way, it would be good to persist in living frugally for a while longer and postpone the arrival of extravagance as much as possible.
The Prime Minister and his party settled down in the hotel. The Prime Minister washed his face and put on a set of dry clothes.Just convene a meeting in the hotel's small conference room.
This meeting was relatively casual, and other city leaders were not notified to attend. It was just a gathering of cadres following the Prime Minister's inspection to hold a symposium.
In Qihe City, the municipal party committee secretary and mayor are both here, so they can basically report to the Prime Minister on behalf of the city.
After listening to the reports of Fan Hongyu and Lu Jiu, the Prime Minister gave a speech, affirming the work of Qihe, and also warned everyone that in the face of the direct impact of a once-in-a-century flood, we must be more vigilant and not take it lightly. If something goes wrong, everyone must take responsibility.
Fan Hongyu and Lu Jiu all gave guarantees to the Prime Minister.
After dinner, the Prime Minister summoned Fan Hongyu alone, accompanied by Qiu Mingshan, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. This time, Fan Hongyu's report was much more detailed, covering all aspects of Qihe's key work. He also did not shy away from mentioning some of the problems that Qihe still had, and told the Prime Minister everything.
Overall, the Prime Minister is quite satisfied with Qihe¡¯s work.
"Fan Hongyu, you are very good and you have lived up to everyone's expectations of you."
After staring at Fan Hongyu for a long time, the Prime Minister said slowly, his eyes were very pleased.
