Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

After Hu Dabao came back, Chen Yuan had not yet returned to Chenjia Village from Sijiu City.

Hu Dabao could only find a way to pass the message to Li Shanghai.

"Several companies in Yangcheng have received offers to try to open their own markets. This is good news for us. Yangcheng is famous for its clothing, and all the fashionable clothing shipped to other places is in Yangcheng."

It was clothing that Chen Yuan had previously drawn Hu Dabao's attention to.

"Then what do you think?"

"Why don't we go to Yangcheng first, bring back some goods, and try them out in our village?"

"The goods still need to be delivered to Hu Dabao, who will then find a way to get them on the black market. If we just try it openly, we'll probably get busted."

Crossing the river by feeling the stones is not that easy.

Cities and regions are watching the attitude of the higher authorities.

It's impossible to let go all at once.

Chen Yuan felt that the most important thing at the moment was to proceed steadily.

They went to Pengcheng to look for opportunities and also to see if Pengcheng had any connections to Hong Kong.

Li Shanghai frowned slightly.

Of course he knew why Chen Yuan was cautious.

"Brother Yuan, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Li Shanghai was a little reluctant.

Chen Yuan advised.

"The current opportunities are still a little unclear, and the situation is also unclear. The more cautious we are, the bigger the steps we can take."

Li Shanghai nodded and said.

"Brother Yuan, I know what you mean."

The last time they went to Haizhou, they almost lost their lives over a trivial matter.

This trip to Pengcheng is full of dangers.

Li Shanghai didn't want to lose all his capital just to make some money.

I don't know how long the train has been traveling.

Li Shanghai and Chen Yuan felt their waists were sore and their legs were numb.

I don’t even want to lie down when I see the sleeper berth.

The two people took turns walking around in the carriage.

During the train stop, Chen Yuan went to the platform to wash his face with cold water.

Sobered up a lot.

Back in the car.

He looked at the exhausted people in the carriage and thought that it would take them two days to reach their destination.

Chen Yuan only regretted that current transportation technology was too inconvenient.

Twenty years later, it would only take two hours to travel to Pengcheng.

I've been eating the dry food in the bag in rotation and I'm already tired of it.

Finally, when Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai could no longer bear it, they arrived in Ganzhou.

This is where they changed trains.

Ganzhou is surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on two sides. It is very close to the border, so border defense work is done with extreme caution.

As soon as Chen Yuan and his friends got off the bus, someone came to check their letters of introduction and certificates and verify each other's identities.

Here Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai finally had a bowl of fresh rice.

The two of them enjoyed two bowls of two taels of rice noodles very much.

Li Shanghai looked at the vendors trying to set up stalls on the street.

He was a little surprised that the streets there were no different from a few years ago.

Even though there is new news, the era of eating from the same pot has come to an end.

But they still hold on to the afterglow of the previous policy.

But here, even though it is equally underdeveloped, it is developing, and the situation is more open.

Li Shanghai also truly realized what Chen Yuan said: the further south you go, the smaller the regional impact will be and the higher the degree of openness will be.

After eating rice noodles, Chen Yuan bought some fruit.

The local villagers picked and grew their own fruits. After ending the era of eating from the same pot, they immediately divided the land into pieces.

Every household in each village has its own land.

Whatever grows on these lands is the result of the villagers' efforts.

Chen Yuan knocked off a watermelon and left half for Li Shanghai.

The two of them were eating watermelon on the street, devouring it voraciously.

"The watermelons here are all different! Brother Yuan's watermelons are juicy and much better than ours!"

Chen Yuan smiled.

"The food here is completely different from what we have there, but there's definitely a lot more fruit than we have back then."

The two went all the way to the provincial capital of Ganzhou.

Here a river connects the border and the outside world. The river water rises sharply due to the arrival of summer flood.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but worry.

"Brother Yuan, what are you looking at?"

"If it rains heavily here, it could easily cause flooding. This city is located in the middle and lower reaches. If water is released from the upper reaches, the lower reaches will inevitably be flooded."

"This will cause homelessness again. So many people will have to relocate!"

Li Shanghai followed Chen Yuan's gaze and saw that there was indeed a river outside the city, and the water in the river was turbid.

It seems to have been affected by the summer flood.

A lot of mud and sand settled inside.

“If the officials here are willing, they should find a way to prevent floods.”

Chen Yuan shrugged.

They are just a speck of dust in the era and cannot influence too many people.

But he thought, if he were a local and could make decisions, he would definitely build more dams to surround the entire city.

This is the provincial capital, and its economic value will be even higher in the future.

If we cannot control the water now, when the city is built in the future, if there is a flood, the entire city will be destroyed and many years of hard work will be wasted.

"Brother, what did you just say?"

Just as Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai were discussing disaster relief and flood prevention, a middle-aged man about their age walked over.

The other person was wearing a Zhongshan suit and his hair was combed meticulously.

You can tell at first glance that he is a leading cadre of high status.

Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai quickly recalled whether they had said something wrong just now.

"Nothing, we just saw that the river was rising too fast and we were worried that it would flood over. The levees here aren't that high."

Chen Yuan told the truth.

No normal person would label him for what he said.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

"How do you think we can prevent flooding here?"

"Building more dams to surround the entire city is the only solution. The source of the river isn't here, and we can't resort to diplomacy with other countries just for flood control."

"Furthermore, if they can grasp our weaknesses, they will certainly make a big fuss about flood prevention, which will put us in a very passive position."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he became very interested in Chen Yuan's words.

"Brother, if you're not busy, let's chat next door. My house is right next door."

Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai looked at each other and did not refuse.

They had just arrived in Ganzhou and had nowhere to rest, so they went with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man introduced on the way.

His name is Lin Shuye, and he is the Minister of the Armed Forces of Ganzhou Provincial Capital.

He came out today to inspect the flood situation.

The other party's position is not low.

Li Shanghai was a little worried.

After all, he and Chen Yuan were just chatting. If the other party made a big deal out of it and played word games, he and Chen Yuan would definitely suffer.

Fortunately, Lin Shuye was quite polite to Chen Yuan and the others, and brought up the latest tea leaves to make tea.

"We are rich in tea here. This tea is very fragrant. You should try it."

"Chen Yuan, you just said you wanted to surround the entire city. What did you mean?"

Chen Yuan paused.

"Encircle it, literally. Build more dikes to keep the dangers of the river out. Build gates and walls on all sides. Although it's a huge expense, it's the work of millions of years."
