Chapter 71 Twenty-two, stormy sea

Ding Nengtong was worried about Yixue, and after hastily dealt with Jin Ranran's matter, he accompanied Jia Chaoxuan back to Dongzhou. Due to the continuous heavy rain in Dongzhou, he couldn't get on the plane, so he had to take the train. Jia Chaoxuan stayed in Beijing for more than a week this time, during which he, Su Hongxiu and Gu Huaiyuan disappeared for three days. Only Ding Nengtong knew of his whereabouts during these three days, because Jia Chaoxuan only told Ding Nengtong before he left. It turned out that Jia Chaoxuan had a gambling disease, and was invited by Shui Jinghong to fly directly to Hong Kong and board the gambling boat in Hong Kong again.Of course, Jia Chaoxuan had to avoid people's eyes on this kind of thing, and he also wanted to create the illusion that he was running "department" and "money" in Beijing, so there was no specialization when flying from the Capital Airport to Hong Kong. The only person who sent the plane off was Ding Nengtong. Ding Nengtong drove alone to pick him up.

On the train, Jia Chaoxuan received a phone call from the duty office of the municipal government that due to the upstream flood discharge and heavy rain, the Dalius River flooded in Huangxian County and the situation was critical.Jia Chaoxuan was in charge of the city's flood control work. At this time, it would be his own dereliction of duty if he didn't rush to Huang County. He asked the driver to pick him up at the train station in Desert Storm.After Ding Nengtong learned about the situation, he decided to go to Huang County with Jia Chaoxuan. Jia Chaoxuan agreed that Ding Nengtong had a lot of ideas.

Ding Nengtong knew best that as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, it was his duty to go to the front line of flood fighting together with Jia Chaoxuan, the executive deputy mayor in charge of flood fighting. Su Hongxiu also wanted to follow, but Jia Chaoxuan stopped him on the spot: "This is not sightseeing, why are you following?" In one sentence, Su Hongxiu choked on tears. The driver drove the car to the platform, and Jia Chaoxuan, Ding Nengtong, and Gu Huaiyuan got into Desert Storm. At night, the wind stirred the rain, and the rain intensified with the help of the wind. The desert storm was very difficult to move forward in the wind and rain. The front and rear headlights were on, but the light was not very far, and the windshield of the front window kept pouring rain.The wiper blades kept sweeping, but it was still impossible to see ahead.

In the car, the three of them called home respectively.When Ding Nengtong was working as Xiao Honglin's secretary, he would go to Huang County several times in the rainy season almost every year.At that time, Yixue's heart was raised in her throat. This time, she heard Ding Nengtong say that as soon as she arrived at Dongzhou Railway Station, she would go to Huangxian County with Mayor Jia to fight the flood, and her heart was raised again. Throwing it out of the blue, he kept telling him to pay attention to safety. With Yi Xue's instructions, Ding Nengtong's heart was warm.

"Little Jiang, can you hurry up?" Jia Chaoxuan urged. "Mayor Jia, hurry up and something will happen." The driver Xiao Jiang said. On the way, Gu Huaiyuan kept in touch with He Zhendong, secretary of the Huangxian County Party Committee, and Zhang Tienan, the acting county magistrate, by mobile phone. After finally getting in touch, he learned that Li Weimin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was also in charge of Huangxian County's flood fighting and rescue work. "When did he go?" Jia Chaoxuan asked. "Secretary Li has been in Huang County for more than a week. He is doing research to reduce the burden on farmers." Gu Huaiyuan explained.

Jia Chaoxuan was obviously displeased with Li Weimin's preemption of his own. He always believed that the great flood was also a great opportunity. If it was done well, it would have the reputation of the masses and the chance of promotion, and it would be the best chance to gain political capital. When it comes to danger, it turns danger into a bargain. The Communist Party lacks this kind of model. Once the media publicizes it and the leaders give instructions, it will be promoted if it is not promoted.Li Weimin doesn't understand this truth. He has just been assessed by the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. If he seizes this opportunity to perform well, maybe... Jia Chaoxuan becomes more and more angry when he thinks about it.

As soon as the desert storm arrived at the boundary of Huang County, a Santana was waiting at the intersection with its headlights on. Gu Huaiyuan opened the car window and stuck out his head in the rain, "Is this Director Wang of the County Government Office?" A man's head protruded from Santana's car and replied, "Secretary Gu, I'm Lao Wang, come with me." Hearing this familiar voice, Ding Nengtong didn't say anything, and thought, "It's Director Wang who colluded with Qian Xueli to write a report letter to himself, reporting that he had an improper relationship with Luo Xiaomei. You bastard, find a chance to deal with it later." You!" Ding Nengtong cursed secretly, and the two cars drove towards the county government compound under the rain.

When director Wang of the county government led the crowd into the county government building, they could hear Li Weimin speaking in the conference room on the third floor from the first floor. Director Wang felt a little unnatural when he saw Ding Nengtong, like a mouse meeting a cat. the way things are. "Director Wang, who did you pimp recently?" Ding Nengtong teased. "Secretary-General Ding made fun of him!" Director Wang said with a smile on his face. "What? Director Wang is still a pimp?" Jia Chaoxuan asked jokingly. As soon as Gu Huaiyuan heard it, he knew that Ding Nengtong was deeply concerned about the last report. It seemed that he was so disrespectful to Director Wang, maybe Director Wang was indeed the one who reported Ding Nengtong.

"Brother Ding, Director Wang and the Cyclops of the Beijing Office are a big challenge." Gu Huaiyuan echoed Ding Nengtong. "No wonder, Director Wang, our Deputy Director Qian started out as a pimp." What Ding Nengtong said meant something, because Qian Xueli was single-handedly promoted by Yuan Xifan. Everyone in Dongzhou official circles knew that Yuan Xifan's nickname was "Ximen Daguanren".Director Wang was outraged by what Ding Nengtong said, so he simply stopped arguing. On the wall of the county government office is a topographic map of Huang County, and Li Weimin is standing in front of the map and is assigning tasks.

"Comrades, after a day of hard work by the soldiers and civilians, three dangerous sections have been brought under control, and there are still two most dangerous sections that the military and civilians are rushing to repair, especially the section of the Niujiatun Grain Depot, where the Daliu River is taking a sharp turn. , the river is wide and fast, once it overflows, the Niujiatun Grain Depot will not be protected, and it will threaten the safety of the three downstream towns, 11,000 mu of arable land and 37,000 people, emergency rescue is imminent!" At this time, Jia Chaoxuan, Ding Nengtong and Gu Huaiyuan rushed in.

"Chaoxuan, it's great that you're here!" "For the people, what's the situation?" Jia Chaoxuan asked anxiously. "The situation is very critical. There are two dangers in the east and the west. How about it, Chaoxuan, let's split up. Comrade Tienan, you and Mayor Jia go to the levee of Qiancha Town. Comrade Zhendong, follow me to the Niu's house in Houcha Town. We must go up the dike immediately, Mayor Jia, what do you think?" Li Weimin finished speaking in one breath and looked at Jia Chaoxuan. "For the sake of the people, I will do as you say, He Zhendong, you must pay attention to Secretary Li's safety!" "Now that we know about Mayor Jia, we will definitely protect Secretary Li." He Zhendong vowed. "Chaoxuan, you should also pay attention to safety! Comrades, let's go!" Li Weimin put on his raincoat and strode out of the conference room after speaking. The water of the Daliu River surged forward, uprooting the whole big trees on the river bank. The arrogant and unruly water, like countless groups of runaway horses, shook their black spines and galloped forward. Hong Feng let out a roar like thunder, and the flood water rushed towards his face with the smell of mud and rotten branches and leaves, penetrating his soul.Li Weimin was wearing a raincoat and carrying a woven bag to fight with the army and the people. In the torrential rain, in the strong wind, the anti-flood army faced the thunder and lightning, rushing and shouting like a layer of black ants.Loading soil, transporting soil and building straw bags, compacting, reloading soil, transporting soil again, and adding another layer... One woven bag is full, and the second woven bag is quickly stretched under the shovel, and a straw bag has just been placed The cofferdam, the second straw bag was put up again, one person was exhausted, and someone came out of nowhere and pushed it up again... Among the crowd, He Zhendong ran to Li Weimin wearing a raincoat, and said out of breath, "Secretary Li, many embankments have broken down on the south bank, and several towns are covered with ocean, and there are two more dangerous sections on the north bank." "Comrade Zhendong, how is the evacuation of the flooded people?" Li Weimin asked with concern. "Secretary Li, all have been evacuated." "The north bank must not break the embankment, and the Niujiatun Grain Depot must be kept." After Li Weimin finished speaking, he picked up a woven bag and rushed to the most dangerous place. He Zhendong looked at Li Weimin's shaky back, wiped away his tears, and rushed into the crowd with a woven bag himself. On the embankment of Qiancha Town, Ding Nengtong and Jia Chaoxuan were carefully looking at the terrain map in the military tent. Most of the cigarette in his hand had been burned, and long ash was about to fall. Outside the military tent, soldiers and civilians were carrying woven bags, stones, and barbed wire. Suddenly there was shouting outside the tent, and a group of reform-through-labor prisoners ran in line. Jia Chaoxuan walked to the door of the military tent and asked in bewilderment, "Nengtong, why are there so many reform-through-labour prisoners?" "I heard from Zhang Tienan that there is a detention center nearby, which is supported by the Justice Bureau," Ding Nengtong explained. "Huaiyuan, call Zhang Tienan over here, play the piano indiscriminately, and think that there is no chaos on the embankment. If the reform-through-labour prisoners take the opportunity to make trouble or escape, it will add chaos to the flood fighting and emergency rescue!" Gu Huaiyuan responded and ran out.After a while, Gu Huaiyuan and Zhang Tienan ran over. "Mayor Jia, what instructions do you have?" Zhang Tienan asked out of breath. "Playing the piano indiscriminately, quickly replace the prisoner." "Mayor Jia, these reform-through-labour prisoners take part in fighting floods every year, and they are good piling drivers." "That doesn't work either. It won't be good to report it, and it's not good to explain to their families when something goes wrong." "Okay, I'll tell them to go back right away." "Tie Nan, don't look at the rain now, but the flow of the flood is very large, the water level is high, the wind is strong, the wave height is about one meter, and the wind direction is straight to the embankment. A wooden pile should be placed every one meter, and the straw and wicker should be tied on it. Bags, as a wave-proof isolation belt, at the embankment slope that has been scoured, lay carpentry cloth as a layer, and use pebble bags to protect the embankment slope. Only in this way can the erosion of the embankment slope by wind and waves be effectively controlled.” Zhang Tienan complied and made a clear statement, then turned around and ran into the rushing crowd.Ding Nengtong secretly admired Jia Chaoxuan as an expert, as expected of the leader in charge of flood fighting and emergency rescue. Zhang Tienan had never dealt with floods when he was the mayor of Jinqiao District, so he was obviously inexperienced.
