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

"Brother Yuan, how much money will it cost to surround the city? If you want to block the river, the wall will have to be taller than the city itself."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Of course he knew.

Most cities now have bungalows, and few have small three-story buildings.

Only government compounds have three or four-story buildings.

But in the future, there will be tall buildings everywhere. We should not forget the great plans for the future for the sake of immediate interests.

"Of course, if you want to do something well, you have to spend a lot of money, and that money is not easy to come by. But as the country develops and society progresses, it will not be so easy to think about these things and mobilize the strength of the whole society."

The rapid economic development will make people unconsciously neglect safety.

Similarly, the city was like being soaked in water, and it had a brief respite.

But once the flood season comes, floods will occur.

The whole city will turn into a vast ocean.

"Chen Yuan, are you talking?"

"Do you have a pen?"

The idea in Chen Yuan's mind was actually based on his experience of the future market.

In order to prevent flooding, a city in the south built a 70-meter-long dam throughout the city.

The seventy-meter-high base plate surrounds the entire city like an iron wall, preventing the impact of flooding decades later.

It is precisely because of this dam that the city has preserved its economy and the safety of its people.

Chen Yuan was drawing on the paper. Lin Shuye frowned when he saw that Chen Yuan said he wanted to surround the entire city with a city wall.

He knew this was too difficult to do.

But as Chen Yuan said, this iron barrel-like protection is indeed the simplest and most obvious protection for this city.

"We can open a gate here on weekdays. The gate should be waterproof and have the best protection. Once the gate is open, the hustle and bustle of traffic will not hinder anyone else."

"It won't affect communication with the outside world. Once the gate is closed, the flood will be isolated. When the flood comes, we only need to hold the gate and there is no need to worry about anything else."

Chen Yuan pointed to a city wall and said.

“This is just my idea. Although it is simple, I think it can solve the problem properly.

Lin Shuye touched his chin and pondered for a moment.

"What you said makes sense, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

"Of course, it will cost a lot of money and require a lot of manpower and resources, but now is a good time."

"You are the local armed forces minister. Your position may change in the future, either through promotion or transfer. Flood control is currently under your control, and you still have decision-making power. But after you are promoted, I don't know whether you will still be in charge of this aspect."

Chen Yuan spoke very directly.

Many people who hold official positions just do their job for the day.

Is Lin Shuye in front of him really doing this for this city?

Or do you want political achievements?

No one can tell.

No matter what Lin Shuye thinks, he will do it.

The city can avoid potential danger.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"We were going to Guangzhou and came here to change trains. We happened to see this river. The scenery is beautiful, the city is beautiful, and there is boundless potential for future development."

"I'm just worried that one day a flood will destroy the whole city."

Li Shanghai pushed Chen Yuan and asked him to be careful with his words and actions.

Don't say that casually.

If some leaders who are too picky about things hear what Chen Yuan says, they will say that Chen Yuan is a problematic reactionary.

Lin Shuye didn't care.

He nodded and said seriously.

"I will take the initiative to pursue this matter, and thank you for your advice. However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get funding."

Chen Yuan nodded, and suddenly took out ten big unity notes from his pocket and put them on the table.

"This is my small contribution. If the money can really be used for flood prevention, it will be considered that I have done something practical for the local people."

Chen Yuan's action of taking out money shocked Lin Shuye and Li Shanghai.

Li Shanghai's mouth twitched.

What is Chen Yuan doing!

Are you here to be a Bodhisattva?

Lin Shuye looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's accent sounds like that of Northeast China, but his behavior seems to be that of a man of great vision.

He was also unsure why Chen Yuan came to Yangcheng.

Seeing that Lin Shuye was hesitant, Chen Yuan pushed the ten big unity notes towards Lin Shuye again.

"If even a small contribution can be used to build this city, it will be worthwhile."

Lin Shuye's heart was lifted.

He looked at the ten big unity notes on the table. That was a lot!

For ordinary people, it is equivalent to a huge sum of money.

He thought about it and accepted it.

"I assure you that this money will definitely be used for urban construction and flood control."

"You can stay at my house first and rest for two days before heading to Yangcheng. You just came from the north, so the train ride must be uncomfortable."

Lin Shuye was quite generous. He cleaned up the room for Chen Yuan and the others, then hurried to the state-owned restaurant to buy a few dishes and sent them to Chen Yuan and the others' room.

"This is my way of thanking you!"

Chen Yuan accepted it without hesitation.

Li Shanghai lay on the bed looking at Chen Yuan's back.

"Brother Yuan, what are you doing?"

Chen Yuan shrugged.

"What else can we do? Learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds! Accumulate virtue and do good deeds!"

"That Lin Shuye we just mentioned is the Minister of Armed Forces. He might become the governor or mayor here in the future. Regardless, if he truly cares about the people, I believe he has a bright future."

"If this money can be used for the construction of this city, it will not be wasted."

Li Shanghai straightened up and gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up.

"Brother Yuan, you are so enlightened. I really can't compare to you."

Chen Yuan looked at Li Shanghai and said.

"As we travel further and further, we'll meet more and more people and encounter more and more things. So if we can help, we'll help!"

"We came up with this idea today. Regardless of whether he adopts it or not, the fact that he doesn't think badly of us proves that he's a good person."

"It feels so good to lie in bed."

Chen Yuan stretched and fell asleep.

Rest at Lin Shuye's house for two days.

Neither Chen Yuan nor Li Shanghai saw Lin Shuye again.

I heard from Lin Shuye’s family that Lin Shuye often worked overtime and did not come home day or night.

Li Shanghai said to Chen Yuan.

"Lin Shuye is like Dayu who controlled the floods, passing by his home three times without entering."

It was early morning when the two left Lin Shuye's house, and they didn't wait for Lin Shuye to come back.

It is much more convenient to go to Guangzhou from here.

They took a truck and gave the driver ten dollars.

The driver was smiling happily and kept telling Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai interesting stories along the way.

The journey to Guangzhou was not boring either.

Chen Yuan and his team went straight to the self-operated market.

Yangcheng's self-operated market has not yet formed a scale.

It’s just a trial phase now, but there are more and more vendors.

It can be seen that the local area has already been liberalized.

Li Shanghai was a little surprised.

There are many people buying all kinds of things in the self-operated market.

Chen Yuan stared at a small stall.

The clothes sold in this stall are very fashionable and come in many styles.

The area is not large, but looking at the boss's vision, you can tell that he is the chosen one to do this business.
