Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

After all, it was the first time they heard about the inexplicable decrease in water flow, which was a precursor to drought.

Liu Dong, then executive vice mayor, was the first to speak up and express his views.

"Secretary Lu, is the matter you just mentioned exaggerated? I haven't heard of a severe drought in An Dong in all these years. I think it's a bit hasty to infer it based solely on the reduction in water flow."

After hearing Liu Dong's remarks, Lu Liangping's face looked unhappy. He glanced at Mayor Hao Jinlong, meaning that it was his turn to speak.

Hao Jinlong understood what he meant and immediately explained.

"Manager Liu, your idea is wrong. There are exceptions to everything. Since someone has discovered this problem, I think our municipal party committee needs to pay attention to it.

If a severe drought really occurs next year, it will inevitably cause a locust plague, which will reduce food production and affect the people. How should we respond?"

Executive Vice Mayor Liu Dong did not seem to buy Hao Jinlong's account and immediately retorted: "Mayor Hao, I think this matter is really a bit of a fuss. There is no need to take it to heart. The most important thing at the moment is to run the people's commune well, make a great leap forward with all our strength, and complete the targets given to our city by the higher-ups."

When the members of the Municipal Party Committee present heard Liu Dong's words, they all nodded in agreement.

The municipal party secretary Lu Liangping was originally skeptical about the drought. The purpose of convening this municipal party committee meeting was to gauge everyone's attitude and reaction. Now that he saw that everyone seemed to be skeptical and opposed, he was also shaken.

Then he changed the topic,

"In that case, let's take a vote. Those who are in favor of taking measures to prevent drought, please raise your hands!"

As a result, no one raised their hand except the mayor Hao Jinlong. They all felt that this seemed too unbelievable, and the primary task was to produce steel in large quantities and establish people's communes.

Seeing this, Lu Liangping could only announce on the spot that the proposal would not be passed and would be invalidated.

Hao Jinlong seemed to have anticipated this result, and he could do nothing about it.

...................

After the meeting, everyone left, and Hao Jin prepared to return to the mayor's office with a depressed look on his face.

Suddenly, Lu Liangping called him.

"Mayor Hao, wait a moment,"

Hao Jinlong turned around and looked at Lv Liangping in front of him with a puzzled look. He felt that this guy was doing it on purpose. He had said privately that he would support him before, but in the meeting, he stood on the opposite side. It seemed that this guy didn't believe in this matter at all and was just making a fool of him. "

Lu Liangping was not a fool, so he could understand what Hao Jinlong was thinking at the moment. He immediately explained,

"Mayor Hao, I'm sorry that I didn't speak up to support you at the meeting just now. This doesn't mean that I don't trust you, but we have to respect everyone's opinions, don't you think?"

After hearing Lu Liangping's impeccable words, Hao Jinlong could only remain silent.

It's obvious that this guy is just taking advantage of the situation.

After Hao Jinlong returned to the mayor's office, he fell into deep thought, because the Municipal Party Committee rejected the proposal, which meant that the Municipal Party Committee's approach was no longer feasible.

The only way now is to see what Director Yang says.

For this reason, Hao Jinlong had no choice but to bite the bullet and call the office phone number of Yang Kun, director of the Security Bureau.

After 15 seconds, the call was connected and Yang Kun's voice came from the other end.

"Hello, who is it?"

Hao Jinlong immediately revealed his identity.

"Director Yang, it's me, Hao Jinlong."

The person on the other end of the phone: "It's Jin Long, what's wrong? Is there anything?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jinlong immediately explained his purpose.

"Director Yang, did you receive the information I sent you earlier?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "I got it. I've read it, too. What you're reporting is the abnormality of the water source in Andong City. You even came to the conclusion that it will cause drought."

Hao Jinlong: "Yes, that's right, Director Yang, that's the matter, what do you think?"

Yang Kun on the other end of the phone: "Jinlong, I also asked intelligence personnel from all prefecture-level cities and counties in Xiliao Province to investigate the situation you reported as soon as possible. The result is that this phenomenon is not only in Andong City, but also in most areas of our Xiliao Province.

I have also consulted experts in the province, and they concluded that it may be the movement of the earth's crust that has changed the landform, leading to a significant reduction in water flow in various regions of Xiliao Province."

When Hao Jinlong heard the first half of Yang Kun's sentence, he was a little happy. But when he heard the second half, his whole mood was like a roller coaster, and it suddenly fell to the bottom.

Unwilling to give up, he asked again, "Director Yang, have you ever considered the possibility of a drought?"

Yang Kun on the other end of the phone said: "Jinlong, since those experts have said so, we should respect their opinions. After all, they are authorities in this area and we are just laymen, so let's leave it at that."

After getting this answer, Hao Jinlong could only respond helplessly,

"Okay, Director Yang, I get it."

Then Hao Jinlong ordered someone to notify He Yuzhu.

Two hours later, He Yuzhu rushed to the mayor's office. When he walked into the office and saw the expressionless Hao Jinlong, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the drought issue was probably not taken seriously by the higher-ups.

However, he still took the initiative to ask about his father-in-law.

"Dad, looking at your expression, is this matter over?"

Hao Jinlong nodded without comment.

"Well, it's a failure. Both the municipal party committee and the branch office rejected it."

Although He Yuzhu had guessed this would be the result, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his father-in-law say it.

He looked at Hao Jinlong with a blank face, not knowing what to say.

Hao Jinlong sighed and spoke slowly.

"Zhu Zi, I know you care about the people, but let's just leave it at that. You don't have to spend your energy and thoughts on it. Time will prove everything."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded and had no choice but to accept the result.

"Okay, Dad, I get it."

After saying that, He Yuzhu stood up and said goodbye.

On the way back, He Yuzhu was quite emotional. He didn't expect that as a time traveler, even with foresight, he still couldn't change the course of history. Why was this so? It was because his power was not great enough and his voice was not strong enough. This made him more determined to strive for the best and speak for the people.

After returning to Andong County, He Yuzhu decided that since the Municipal Party Committee and the Branch Bureau did not support him, he would first develop Andong County.
