Chapter 231 Drought begins, the municipal party committee begins discussing drought relief

He Yuzhu was quite helpless when he saw this scene. He could only pull He Yushui outside to chat. Sometimes he felt that he was really unlucky as to have such a father.

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

Time flies, and soon it is 1959, and a new chapter begins.

After more than half a year, the Great Leap Forward, the Great Steel Production Campaign and the establishment of people's communes had achieved certain results.

However, the negative news is still the majority. In order to achieve political achievements, many cadres deliberately falsified and concealed information, and even confiscated the pots, pans, and door handles of local farmers in order to increase the so-called steel production. However, the steel produced by this crude method is completely scrap steel and cannot be put into use at all.

The wind of exaggeration, boasting and bureaucracy began to rise gradually...

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Just last November, the problem raised by He Yuzhu regarding the reduction of flow of major water flows has become more serious.

Take the creek near Yangjiagou in Andong County, on which the people depend for survival, for example. The water flow was still very large last year.

However, from the end of last year to now, the stream that starts from its source on the top of the mountain and flows through eight villages has changed from a turbulent flow at the beginning to a trickle now. This abnormal phenomenon has caused great distress to local residents.

Because now the water in the creek can only meet basic living water needs, especially the Yangjiagou Reservoir downstream and various reservoirs in Andong County have suddenly experienced an inexplicable decrease in water storage.

This abnormal phenomenon is not only happening in Andong County and Andong City, but even in the plains of China, including Heilongjiang Province and Heilongjiang Province, there has been a large-scale inexplicable reduction in water storage in water sources. This also indicates that the drought has begun, and this problem will become more and more serious as time goes by.

The Xiliao Provincial Party Committee held a special meeting on this issue and dispatched a geological investigation team to various places to investigate the problem of the gradual reduction of water resources.

Yang Kun, deputy director of the Security Bureau, who had not taken the issue seriously, also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately took the initiative to call Hao Jinlong.

Hao Jinlong, who was working at the time, suddenly heard the phone on his desk ringing and immediately picked it up.

"Hello, who is it?"

The person on the other end of the phone: "Jinlong, it's me, Yang Kun!"

Hao Jinlong was quite surprised to see that it was Yang Kun who called, and he replied immediately.

"Director Yang, what's the matter?"

The other end of the phone: "Jinlong, regarding the issue of water shortage and drought that you reported earlier, it has now been confirmed to be the same as you originally suspected.

At present, this phenomenon has appeared in our Xiliao Province, in nearby black markets, and throughout China.

The higher-ups are now taking this issue very seriously and have begun mobilizing various departments to carry out emergency rescue and disaster relief operations."

After hearing what Yang Kun said on the other end of the phone, Hao Jinlong felt very unhappy. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart,

"Why didn't you do that? You didn't listen to me when I told you last year, and now you're arguing with me about this. Is it too late to fix the problem?"

Of course, he just thought about it in his mind and didn't dare to express it. Instead, he changed his tone.

"Okay, Director Yang, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

Yang Kun on the other end of the phone said something apologetically.

"Jinlong, you won't blame me for not accepting your advice at the beginning, right?"

Hao Jinlong smiled awkwardly when he heard what Yang Kun said.

"Director Yang, you must be joking. How could that be possible?"

The person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I got it, I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Hao Jinlong was also full of worry, thinking: "If these people had listened to me earlier, they probably wouldn't be as passive as they are now."

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

"Dong...dong..."

"Please come in..."

The office door was opened, and the person who came in was his personal secretary Hao Gui.

Seeing that it was him, Hao Jinlong immediately took the initiative to ask,

"Hao Gui, what's the matter?"

Hao Gui immediately explained his purpose.

"Mayor Hao, Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee is preparing to hold an emergency meeting of the Municipal Standing Committee and asked me to notify you to attend."

Hao Jinlong nodded when he heard the news.

"Okay, please reply to Secretary Lu for me. I'll be there soon."

Ten minutes later, in the meeting room of the Andong Municipal Party Committee, all the leading members of the Municipal Party Committee were in place.

The meeting was chaired by Lu Liangping, the top leader of the municipal party committee.

"Comrades, we have gathered here today to discuss the water reduction problem that has occurred in various areas of Andong City. After detailed surveys by relevant departments in the province, it has been determined that the water reduction will cause large-scale drought, and the water sources in some areas have even been cut off.

The higher authorities have attached great importance to this and the provincial party committee has also issued documents and made important instructions, instructing us to mobilize local people at all costs to start drought prevention and relief operations in advance and to ensure the people's daily water supply.

So, do you have any good ideas and suggestions on how to fight drought and provide disaster relief now? "

At this moment, everyone looked at each other, and no one knew how to start the conversation.

The top leader of the municipal party committee, Lu Liangping, was also completely at a loss at this point, and he certainly didn't have any good solutions or plans.

For this reason, he could only call out the names one by one.

"Manager Liu, do you have any good suggestions or opinions?"

Liu Dong, the executive vice mayor whose name was called, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Secretary Lu, colleagues, I have no opinion or strong views on the issue of drought relief.

But I am more worried about one thing now. It is already February and March is coming soon. This is a good time for spring ploughing. Will this drought affect the spring ploughing plan of the people in our Andong City?

If so, what should we do with our harvest this year? You know, our Andong City cannot fully meet its own grain needs. There are at least three gaps that rely on state allocations, and the other part is also dependent on the local people and other grains.

If the drought is particularly severe this time, it will affect the spring ploughing season, causing this year's harvest to be worse than in previous years. How can we solve the food crisis that will be caused?"

Liu Dong's remarks pointed out the adverse consequences and problems caused by large-scale drought, which also caused deep thought among the municipal party committee secretary Lu Liangping and other members of the municipal party committee standing committee.

Because they all know that each of the problems raised by Executive Vice Mayor Liu Dong is urgent, and if they happen to be as he described, it will be really difficult to deal with.
