Chapter 3 third chapter

A new day just came, and when the sun slanted in through the windows of the newly built experimental building in the east, Deng Chaolu lifted his face buried in the pile of materials.Her face is fair and bright, with the delicate features of a traditional girl, her nose is straight, and her whole face looks far less pessimistic than when she was twenty-eight years old, almost the same as when she was just in graduate school.The only change, I am afraid, is that there is more calmness in the eyes, and more calmness towards life and world affairs. She seems to have gotten over the pain of a broken relationship and looks rejuvenated.It is also said, how can you lose to Broken Love, it shouldn't be.

"Xiao Yang." After a long time, Deng Chaolu called out to Yang Xiaohui who was sitting at the door.Yang Xiaohui raised her head and looked at Deng Chaolu: "What's the matter?" She smiled lightly, her voice very soft. "Please check the data again. I really confuse the data. I always feel that there is something wrong with them." Deng Chaolu showed sleepiness on his face, and handed the information in his hand to Yang Xiaohui.Yang Xiaohui smiled at her understandingly, and said, "Let me come, senior sister, you are too tired." Deng Chaolu smiled noncommittally, stood up, and looked out the window.

It's time for her to relax. It's not a good thing if her nerves are too tense.But there were a lot of things at hand, and news about the river came from all directions, which made her very uncomfortable.Yesterday she heard from comrades from the county that the desert reservoir was about to dry up.This is definitely not good news for them.Perhaps they would have to go down again soon, down the river. But what's the use of going there, Deng Chaolu looked very confused.The entire research institute is actually very confused.A river is about to disappear, a thousand-year river, it is about to disappear.Deng Chaolu's heart darkened, and he stared at the old tree in a daze.

The campus in early summer is different. The heat wave has already begun to brew on the ground, but in a city like Yinlu, the heat is not so urgent.The sky was dark, and although the rare sun pierced through the clouds, it was still far from the sun in memory.She stared at the ancient locust tree for a long time, then her eyes moved to the dense sandy date forest in front of the building.A couple of young men and women were playing there. They were passionately in love. Their flirting was so straightforward and comfortable, which was really enviable.A few students were sitting under a tree, the girls were eating ice cream, and the boys were smoking hard...

Deng Chaolu thought of Qi Lian again. Many stories in her memory are related to Qi Lian, first love, love, the test of life and death.Even the sun in his mind is from the Qilian Mountains.Big and fiery, like a fireball, it can warm the earth as soon as it jumps out.The sky should also be so blue, high, transparent, and vast enough to make people intoxicated, and suddenly it can lift people's hearts.And the grassland, cattle and sheep, and the wild and unruly river... Of course, there is her mother there, as well as the layers of past events buried under the snow-capped mountains, and the people in the past events one after another.

They are all about the river.The mentor Qin Jizhou said that she belongs to that river, which is absolutely true.In fact, who does not belong to the river? Deng Chaolu was daydreaming when the door was gently pushed open and a face came in.This face first smiled at Yang Xiaohui who was sitting at the door, then looked up and looked in Deng Chaolu's direction. "What's the matter, Researcher Lin?" Deng Chaolu saw who it was and asked proactively. Researcher Lin is also from the Institute. He graduated from Hohai University and received his Ph.D. at Tsinghua University. He came to the Institute two years earlier than Deng Chaolu and is currently the deputy director of the First Research Office.

"It's nothing urgent, the director asked me to ask, how is your work at hand going?" Researcher Lin raised his hand to stroke his thinning hair as he spoke.His expression was a bit grotesque, unnatural, and slightly nervous. The mole on the left cheek trembled when nervous, and this time it trembled restlessly. "Mr. Qin or Mr. Zhang?" Deng Chaolu asked again.This is her work habit. She always asks whether it is Qin Jizhou or the deputy director Zhang who explained everything. It is not that she treats the two people differently. The key is that the two people have different academic methods. The direction and professional attitude requirements are also different.One likes to seek the truth, to get to the bottom of it, and does not tolerate any falsehood.One, he also likes to associate academics with the preferences of the school leaders, and always wants to do things to satisfy the school leaders.There is a big difference between the two, and because of this difference, Deng Chaolu and others are often caught in an embarrassing situation where both ends are in a dilemma.

"Naturally, it's Deputy Director Zhang. It's not my turn to run errands for Mr. Qin." Researcher Lin said sourly, probably thinking that he was flattering Deng Chaolu, and then smiled obsequiously at Deng Chaolu. This smile is a bit off-putting, and this man is also a bit off-putting.There are many things in the world that are unappetizing. For example, Deputy Director Zhang always wants to be an old man under the moon, and always wants to create opportunities for Deng Chaolu to get in touch with Researcher Lin more.Deng Chaolu later found out that this was what her teacher's mother Chu Ya meant. Chu Ya pretended to be very concerned about Deng Chaolu, and instead of talking to Deputy Director Zhang about why her husband Qin Jizhou lived in the small building and did not go home, she wanted to talk about Deng Chaolu. For Chaolu's marriage, she repeatedly entrusted Deputy Director Zhang to find a wife for Deng Chaolu in the institute.The only unmarried man in the institute was Lin Haiyang, who was half bald. Deputy director Zhang pushed this rare leftover who was said to have loved five or six times and was ruthlessly eliminated five or six times to Deng Chaolu like a treasure.Deng Chaolu felt that the teacher's wife's actions were a bit vicious, and maybe there was a sense of revenge.

The teacher's mother, Chu Ya, suspects that her mentor Qin Jizhou has an unclear relationship with her mother, Deng Jiaying, and publicly scolds this in a quarrel.Deng Chaolu happened to be there that day, and she was on the side of the teacher's wife at first, helping the teacher persuade the mentor.The instructor, Qin Jizhou, had a particularly bad temper that day and was very irritable. He could not listen to any persuasion. He scolded his wife Chu Ya for being mean and shameless, opportunistic, and insulting the teacher. Qin Yu, the son who had achieved success at the beginning of the year, got a nondescript unit.These words seriously hurt the teacher's wife. In the rage, the teacher's wife said a lot of violent words, and finally put her eyes on Deng Chaolu's face. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but in short, she uttered that extremely ugly sentence.

"Bitch, bastard, it's disgusting to see you!" How could she scold like that, Deng Chaolu was very sad.Bitch and bastard, these two words passed through her chest mercilessly like two evil bullets, bringing her humiliation and at the same time making her question her own life experience. In fact, a long time ago, Deng Chaolu had such a thought in his mind, where did she come from?A person without a father always has a lot of thoughts on his mind, and he will think of something bad all of a sudden, and Deng Chaolu is no exception.I remember that when she was in middle school, she had a quarrel with Wu Ruohan, who was also very strong, over a trivial matter. As a result, the word "wild species" came out of Wu Ruohan's mouth, which made the boys and girls in the class who were dissatisfied with her burst into laughter.Deng Chaolu ran home and asked her mother very seriously, who is her father? Is she a bastard?

She received a slap from Deng Jiaying that day, which was the only slap her mother gave her in memory.After the slap, the mother was startled, frightened by her own slap.His face deformed rapidly due to fear, and his chest heaved violently.The mother has a pair of proud breasts, she is by no means inferior to Wu Ruohan's mother, Miao Yulan, and compared to her teacher's mother, Chu Ya's Pingyuan, she is extremely proud.Deng Chaolu's growth obviously couldn't keep up with her mother's, which was one of the reasons why she became more suspicious of her own life experience later on.But on that day, she only doubted her father.She stroked her hot face, completely ignoring her mother's pain and repentance, and asked hoarsely: "Where is he, who is he, and why should I follow your surname?!" That was a mistake, Deng Chaolu only now understands that people are prone to make mistakes, an occasional thought, a sudden impulse, will lead to a lifelong big mistake.Now she regrets that she shouldn't hurt her mother like that. Researcher Lin is still waiting, like a loyal servant who insists on conveying the instructions of the deputy director Zhang Yan and bringing Deng Chaolu to Zhang Yan.Deng Chaolu sighed helplessly, this institute is full of weird people, either closed-mindedness, mania, or typical self-appreciationists.In short, no one is mentally sound, including herself.She said to Yang Xiaohui, I will come whenever I go, and then she said to Lin Haiyang, who was piously flattering her, as if venting, "Let's go, what are you doing?" Lin Haiyang was like a cheerful frog, and immediately smiled Lead the way ahead. Zhang Yan, the deputy director, asked Deng Chaolu to join a project team and leave tomorrow for Shahu County, the lower reaches of the river. "This project is related to our status among peers, and it is also related to whether this year's scientific research funds can be implemented." Zhang Yan, the deputy director, is also in charge of finance in the institute. Qin Jizhou, the director of this job, thinks this job is boring. It is really worthless to deal with officials and school leaders, so I politely handed it over to Zhang Yan, the deputy director.Zhang Yan is just the opposite. Every time you talk about your work, you must emphasize the importance of funding to show that you can’t do anything without funding, even if you are an academic leader.Deng Chaolu has long been accustomed to the tone of the deputy director, and understands her painstaking efforts.She said, "Do you want to tell Mr. Qin?" Zhang Yan's face turned pale, and then he smiled again: "No need for this, it's all scientific research projects, the division of labor does not separate families, and this project is also very helpful to you." Seeing that Deng Chaolu was not too active, he added: " Of course, I had exchanged opinions with Mr. Qin beforehand, and it was Mr. Qin's intention to let you participate." Deng Chaolu let out a long sigh, seeming to doubt the words of Deputy Director Zhang.But after thinking about it, how could it be possible? How could it be impossible for Deputy Director Zhang to falsely preach the imperial decree. Zhang Yan admired Deng Chaolu like a flower. Seeing Deng Chaolu finally nodded, another smile immediately appeared on his face: "Then it's settled. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. You all need to make preparations today." Deng Chaolu hummed, came back from Zhang Yan's place, sat there for a while, still worried, and stubbornly went to Qin Jizhou's place once.Qin Jizhou was immersed in a large pile of materials, and after listening to her words, he looked up and gave her an answer like this: "Go, read more, but you must go with a scientific spirit, and you must not be a philistine." These words obviously meant something, but Deng Chaolu still thought that the mentor was too mean to Deputy Director Zhang. No matter what, Deng Chaolu was very happy to be able to go to Qilian.There are a lot of scientific research projects related to Qilian recently, all of which are caused by Shiyang River.In March last year, Qin Jizhou risked the world's displeasure by pointing out that the water in the Shiyang River was getting less and less, the surface runoff continued to decline, and the ecological damage of the river basin was seriously damaged. The Central Committee of the Letter, which opened a war on the ecological protection of the Shiyang River Basin.Academic leader Qin Jizhou also became a popular figure in the political and academic circles because of his theory of the water resource crisis of the Shiyang River.However, in the following year, Qin Jizhou was surrounded by all kinds of doubts. Some people said that he was grandstanding and alarmist.Someone unceremoniously took out many of his past articles and views, and described him as an expert with the least academic views.The war of words has been going on for a year, and it hasn't stopped yet.Just last week, Deng Chaolu read an article in an authoritative magazine, the words were very sharp, almost condemning her mentor. The instructor's recent series of strange behaviors may be related to this. The author of that article is also an authority, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently the director of the Water Resources Research Center of the Qilian Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Wu Ruohan is working there now. Leaving the provincial capital, crossing the Yellow River, heading west, you will first come to the land of roses. Before you can smell the aroma of roses enough, the smell of grassland will come to your nostrils. As soon as she smelled this breath, Deng Chaolu's heart couldn't help but flutter, as if there was something in her life that was connected and closely related to this snow-covered plateau and this vast grassland.Every time she stepped on this road, as long as she saw the clouds, a strange feeling surged in her body.This emotion excited her, encouraged her, and couldn't hold back.Before the car actually drove onto the prairie, she looked out impatiently.Oh, Grassland, oh, Qi Lian, she yelled once, then yelled again, and then began to breathe in that breath with her mouth wide open.Contrary to her, Zhang Yan, the deputy director sitting in the front row, turned a blind eye to the grassland, and when the car arrived in this area, without exception, he fell asleep.For a while now, his head has been leaning heavily on the back of the chair, and he has fallen asleep amidst the bumps of the car.Lin Haiyang, who was sitting in the back row with Deng Chaolu, kept watchful eyes all the way, and was always ready to talk to Deng Chaolu.If it wasn't for the fact that there was another person in the middle, I'm afraid that he would have offered the man's attention without hesitation.Deng Chaolu obviously has no feelings for Lin Haiyang. Whether Lin Haiyang expresses his love tactfully or directly, Deng Chaolu always responds with indifference, making people mistakenly think that she is a woman who has no interest in men, and maybe she is a celibate.Because her mother, Deng Jiaying, is a celibate, she is still single and has never given herself to any man in her life.When Lin Haiyang passed his eyes across the man in the middle, Deng Chaolu's eyes were obsessed with the grassland. The snow line is no longer visible, and time will destroy many things. For example, in the eyes of Deng Chaolu, the grassland in summer is not as beautiful as spring, at least not as peaceful as spring.In spring she can see the snow line, although it has moved to a very misty sky, but the snow line is there.The dreamlike touch of whiteness will shock her and give her a kind of strength in her heart.As a result, her devotion to Qi Lian will increase, and the mystery will also spread in her heart.But Xia Tian obviously used its rough palms to uncover this mystery, making the grassland present a scribbled appearance in reality.The cattle and sheep are still there, but obviously not as many as before.In particular, the white yak, which can be called the best in the grassland, is almost invisible now. I could vaguely see someone moving, it must be the herdsmen, in order to feed the animals, they had to move the pasture farther away, the cattle and sheep almost gnawed their mouths to the snow line.Deng Chaolu waited for a long time, and suddenly found a familiar figure.Loba.She cried out in her heart, wishing she could stick her head out and shout at the vast grassland and the person deep in the grassland. Naropa is a Tibetan, a stubborn guy who runs on the grassland all year round.Deng Chaolu believed that the young Naropa was a mystic. He was thirty-two years old, with deep black eyes, a high nose bridge, and a face that had been blackened and reddened by ultraviolet radiation for many years.His robustness made the whole prairie envious, and he felt that he was the toughest cow on the prairie. His long hair was draped all year round, covering his broad shoulders.When Deng Chaolu met Luoba, Luoba was still young and had just shouldered the important task of running for the grassland and the snowy area.In the past, this important task was carried by his father. Both father and son are "Bawo", servants of God, but they are completely different from other "Bawo".They are pure, holy, and as clean as snow-capped mountains.But strong and sharp, he is an eagle on the grassland. The young Naropa must be running for the river, because the direction he is going is the direction of the river, and he is walking towards the upper reaches of the river, the source. After the car turned over a mountain ridge, Naropa disappeared and hid behind the mountain.A few iron towers appeared in front of him, and then Deng Chaolu saw the looming white house in the depths of the white clouds.Her heart hurt a few times, those white tile houses stimulated her, she hurriedly looked away and hid in the car. "Is it motion sickness?" Lin Haiyang asked promptly. Deng Chaolu didn't answer, and she couldn't help but want to fly to Qin Yu again.Every time I pass by the grassland and see the looming white house hidden under the clouds, my heart will be lifted, and I can't help but fly up and into the white house.It was the beginning of her relationship with Qin Yu, no, to be precise, it should be the beginning of her secret love. But now everything is over, Qin Yu no longer belongs to her, but already belongs to another woman, Wu Ruohan!Deng Chaolu bit the name bitterly, and closed his eyes in pain.Seeing her in pain, Lin Haiyang didn't dare to say anything, and looked at her bewilderedly, also with a melancholy look. The car arrived at Shahu County at five o'clock in the afternoon. The county magistrate, Kong Xiangyun, had been waiting at the hotel for a long time. When he saw them, he greeted them like a gust of wind, shook hands with Zhang Yan, and said hello to Deng Chaolu and the others one by one. He politely invited them into the hotel.Deng Chaolu and the others came down this time to give Shahu County a consultation as experts, and brought the situation of Shahu County up, and presented it to relevant departments in the form of expert opinions.So the county leaders attached great importance to it. When the car was still in Longshan County, Kong Xiangyun called and said that he was waiting at the hotel.Zhang Yan was very happy when he heard that, and said that the county magistrate Kong was unusual, and he had to trouble him every time he came down.Lin Haiyang immediately echoed, "Yes, it's all because of your face, the director." Deng Zhaolu glanced at Lin Haiyang in disgust at that time, she hated this kind of people who follow others. Stay, take a bath and eat.The dinner was arranged by the county, the standard was not low, and there were two tables with people.While eating, Niu Dewang, the party secretary of Nanhu Village, suddenly broke in and said that there was a group fight, and the villagers beat up the county cadres for digging wells. "Two people were lying down, and just after they were sent to the hospital, several people in the village were injured. These people who have no memory, say that they are not allowed to be beaten, but instead beat them. The county officials were also beaten by them?" Niu Dewang was still talking to the county magistrate Kong Xiangyun reported that Kong Xiangyun had already turned his face and scolded: "Old Niu, you have no eyes, didn't you see that I am entertaining distinguished guests from the province? You can put anything on the table." Niu Dewang wiped off his sweat and rushed The guests at the table looked around, and the first one recognized Deng Chaolu. "Is old man Qin okay, why didn't he come?" He asked Deng Chaolu.Deng Chaolu hurriedly got up, wanting to talk to Niu Dewang, but Niu Dewang grabbed a teacup, and poured it into his stomach regardless of whose cup it belonged to.Kong Xiangyun, the county magistrate, was in a hurry, grabbed the water glass and cursed: "You dare to drink my glass, you are lawless, ask the waiter to pour you a glass." If you want to have a meal, tell me, sit down and eat together." Someone stood up and wanted to greet Niu Dewang.Niu Dewang gave Kong Xiangyun a chuckle, saying he hadn't eaten at noon, but instead of sitting down, he grabbed a large piece of lamb chops, picked up two steamed buns, and left. "This shit." The county magistrate Kong Xiangyun cursed, pulled the stool over, and said as if nothing happened: "Come on, keep eating, I almost let him off the hook." But Deng Chaolu and the others No matter how hard Kong Xiangyun tried, the atmosphere would never return to the way it was before.Kong Xiangyun knew what they were thinking, and said, "It's okay, just hit it." Seeing Zhang Yan's doubts, he said, "It's all for water, and you will know when you arrive at the scene tomorrow." The scene to see is in Nanhu.Nanhu was not called Nanhu before, but Qingtu Lake.In fact, it was not called Qingtu Lake at first, and there is a better name: Zhunoze. There are eleven great lakes recorded in "Shangshu·Yugong", among them Zunozawa.It is also said that Dayu's water control can only be considered complete in Zhunoze.According to history books, Zumano Ze is so huge that it stretches as far as the eye can see, submerging half of the desert. The area is at least tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the water is surprisingly deep, tens of feet.Later, Zhuye Ze was divided into two parts, and the one on the west was called Xihai, also called Xiu Tu Ze. During the Republic of China, it was renamed Qingtu Lake.When it was renamed Qingtu Lake, it was still rippling with blue waves, with a water area of ​​no less than 4,000 square kilometers, second only to Qinghai Lake.In the early days of liberation, it still had more than 100 square kilometers of water area, which was clearly recorded, and Deng Chaolu had seen it.Children in the desert can recite it. There used to be clear water, overgrown water and grass, lake light and shadows, and water birds contending.It's just a pity that it dried up completely later, and the two deserts of Tengger and Badain Jaran shook hands here, and quicksand quickly covered it. Later, there were two more names here: Nanhu and Beihu. Niu Dewang, Party Secretary of Nanhu Village greeted him at the entrance of the village. When he saw the convoy, he beckoned, and the villagers surrounded him.County magistrate Kong Xiangyun got out of the car and looked around. "Why are people idle?" he asked. "What should I do if I'm not idle, the water will be taken away by the people below, if I'm not idle, I have to be idle." Niu Dewang said angrily. "How do you talk, Lao Niu?" The town leader beside him was anxious and rushed to say something.Niu Dewang didn't care at all, and just said to Kong Xiangyun: "It's not allowed to move, shift, it's good now, give the land and grab the water, you will destroy the North Lake. I don't think it's possible to live in this lake. County magistrate, get us away." "Take it away, where do you want to go?" The county magistrate Kong Xiangyun was not annoyed, and said with a smile, but his eyes turned to Beihu.The North Lake, which was once densely covered with red willow branches, sand thorns and Haloxylon, has indeed been developed into a disastrous state.People have lived and houses have been built, but most of the vegetation has disappeared.A gust of wind blew up, and the sky and the earth immediately became dark. "County towns, cities are better, live in high-rise buildings, work as cadres, drink tap water." Niu Dewang pouted while saying, the wind blew sand into his mouth, and there was a smell of dust in his words. "Aren't you afraid to make you feel so comfortable?" The county magistrate, Kong Xiangyun, was also blinded by the wind and sand, rubbed his eyes, and said "Niu Dewang" and said, "I said why the hair turns gray so fast. It turns out that it's white in dreams. Lead the way, Check it out!" Niu Dewang grinned, the wind was gone, it was a wind blowing from the ground, and it came and went quickly.It was sunny again, and the air was annoyingly dry.Niu Dewang shook his clothes and walked forward.Kong Xiangyun also left, and asked Zhang Yan and the others to go together, saying that the place where the well was drilled was not far away, and it would be within a few steps.The villagers took advantage of the situation to gather around and complained.Kong Xiangyun was not annoyed, he let the villagers complain, the mayor wanted to stop him, but he stared at him and shrank back in fright.The villagers hugged each other and went to the desert while arguing.The sound startled the camels on the side of the road, staring at these strangers strangely with their big eyes.Camels are also skinless and hairless from the sun, and they have no sense of beauty at all.A few sand dolls slipped and slipped under people's feet, gliding like fish, their movements were very unskilled.Zhang Yan, the deputy director, stepped on one, so frightened that he yelled, which made Kong Xiangyun laugh. "It won't drill into your trouser legs, don't worry." One sentence made both Zhang Yan and Deng Chaolu blush. It took a long time to understand that the villagers were suing Beihu.Villagers from Shahu County also lived in Beihu, and they were all managed by Qingtuhu Town.In the 1960s, after the lake completely dried up, the sand waves bullied people so badly that the county moved people from Beihu to other places, and the whole of Beihu was given over to Sha.Nanhu Lake has become the forefront of sand, and also the first barrier built by people.A few years ago, the city engaged in new strategic development, large-scale immigration from the upper reaches of Longshan County, that is, Deng Chaolu's hometown, and Beihu was redeveloped, and many people were moved from Longshan County intermittently.It is said that other things can't stop the sand, but people can't stop it?When people came, they had to open up wasteland and farm, and they had to dig wells to get water. The conflict between the South Lake and the North Lake was caused by well drilling. Sure enough, he didn't go very far, and he was blocked by people before he got out of the South Lake.Standing in front were immigrants from Beihu Village. A lean man who claimed to be surnamed Wang was at the front, with his hands on his hips, looking majestic.Seeing the county magistrate Kong Xiangyun from a distance, he said loudly: "Why are there so many people? If you still want to fight, then come and tell you, you are not afraid." Kong Xiangyun smiled, turned around and asked Niu Dewang, "Is he from Wang Ci?" Niu Dewang nodded yes.Kong Xiangyun said: "He doesn't look like a beating man, did you do it first?" Niu Dewang shook his head and said no, the mayor looked at him maliciously, and Niu Dewang emphasized , Isn't it true, the cadres in their county scolded people first, or how could they fight? "If it's really a cadre who swears at others first, this beating will not be wronged." Kong Xiangyun greeted Zhang Yan while talking, and when Zhang Yan came to him, he changed the subject and said: "There is a fight for water everywhere, and I, the county magistrate, will soon be able to divert water. Members." Zhang Yan said, but didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, he was silent for a long time, and asked: "Isn't it necessary to strictly limit drilling wells, why?" "I also want to limit it, but people have to eat, and the crops have to be irrigated. If you look at the road along the way, they are all on fire. If you don't water it, I'm afraid it will all be over." A group of people looked all over the field.In the vast desert outside the village, withered yellow has become the clearest color.Bai Yang bent his head, the green skin was almost dead.The crops don’t look like crops, the wheat is all drooping, listless, the leaves of the corn are yellowed by the sun, and the watermelon seedlings are all lying on the ground as if they have been squeezed out of water.Even those camel thorns and water canopies that grew very lushly in previous years can't see any vitality this year.It can be seen without research that water is more precious than anything else. This day's work revolved around drilling wells. Deng Chaolu and the others divided into two teams, Zhang Yan and a researcher, and she and Lin Haiyang.Experts and technicians from the city and county also accompanied them in two groups.Zhang Yan stayed in Nanhu, and Deng Chaolu and the others went to Beihu. The person named Wang Ci filed a complaint as soon as they met, and first scolded Longshan County upstream, saying that they had been tricked here.They didn't want to move at first, but the county forced them to relocate, but no one cares about them when they moved here, and they don't know where their household registration will be until now.Shahu County did not recognize them, and Longshan said they had moved out.Then he scolded Niu Dewang, saying that he was King Sha, the Lord of Hell, and he had to listen to everything.How many wells to drill and where to drill, the surname Niu has the final say, and the slightest violation of the will will make trouble.As soon as Deng Chaolu said something for Niu Dewang, Wang Ci immediately jumped up: "Why not so powerful, the cadres of our county just said something fair yesterday, and he refused to follow him, calling us robbers and bandits, you Do you think we look like bandits? The county cadres talk to him about policies, but he is fine and beats us when he says so." It was only then that Deng Chaolu knew that it was the cadres of Longshan County who were beaten. No wonder Kong Xiangyun was not nervous at the dinner table last night, and it had nothing to do with him. Deng Chaolu and his team's task is to find out the situation of groundwater exploitation in Shahu County downstream. In fact, this situation will never be clear.When Deng Chaolu first arrived at the institute, his supervisor, Qin Jizhou, proposed to appropriately limit the excessive exploitation of groundwater in the downstream Shahu County, and to rationally develop and effectively utilize the water resources of the entire river basin.It was the first time Qin Jizhou proposed the concept of water restraint, and he was a little frightened when he mentioned it.And ideally come up with a plan to resettle the downstream sand lakes in five to ten years.As the desert advances to the south, the villagers at the frontier of the desert will be gradually removed, human activities will be reduced, water demand will be reduced, and the contradiction between supply and demand of water in the entire Shiyang River Basin will be alleviated.This plan was ridiculed at the time. Some people said he was a fool, and some said he was academic for the sake of academics, regardless of the reality of the development of the watershed.Some people even said that he was obstructing the economic and social development of the river basin and advocating the advancement of sand and the retreat of others. Qin Jizhou's suggestion did not attract the attention of relevant departments. On the contrary, Gushui City, the largest city in the river basin, quickly made a strategic decision to immigrate from Longshan County in the upper reaches of Longshan, and make trouble for those people who had lived in the deep mountains and ditches in Longshan for several lifetimes. Come out and spread out along the desert line. "Even if we build a human wall, we must block the wind and sand." This was a sentence that appeared very frequently in newspapers back then.However, Deng Chaolu discovered that the purpose of immigrating downward is not to block the wind and sand, but the key is that the upper reaches of Longshan really can't survive.Deng Chaolu has been to Longshan Mountain in the past two years, and he has also seen the valleys and ridges. The scenery he saw was not much better than the desert, or even worse.Some well water can still be drilled in this desert, and the Longshan mountain area is completely dependent on the sky. The sky is stingy, and it doesn’t rain with the buttocks between them. Let alone crops, people have no water to eat, so how can they live?As far as Gushui City is concerned, in comparison, several counties in Shahu are considered a wealthy place, known for large-scale planting of cash crops, and their per capita income and GNP are higher than other counties. Such a decision also makes sense. People are afraid of not comparing, once they compare, good places and bad places will be divided out.
