Chapter 217 A bowl of sour soup noodles

Fan Heng and other leaders who rushed over from the city left in the middle of the night, and the people from Shuixi County were left behind.

Looking at the big bomb hanging over his head of the Panjiaying Mine, County Mayor Sun Wanhu said to Secretary Li Xiangyong, "What happened to Guo Shun from Shangya Township? He made such a big mistake. Fortunately, he discovered it early. Otherwise, if something happened, let alone our location was not secured, even the leaders in the city would not be able to bear it. No wonder Secretary Fan attached so much importance to it."

Secretary Li Xiangyong frowned and said, "Now, deal with the matter here quickly, and then investigate the safety hazards in the whole county. If you should be dealt with immediately, you must not be left out easily! The county party committee immediately convened an enlarged meeting and mobilized all party members and cadres to dig deep into the hidden dangers in various places and make great efforts to rectify them. The small iron ore and coal mines that should be closed will be closed immediately, blocking the hole!"

County Magistrate Sun Wanhu nodded, but said, "But in this way, there will be a lot of resistance and will be greatly affected economically."

Secretary Li Xiangyong replied, "That's nothing. This time Secretary Fan will probably hold a meeting to discuss this matter when he goes back. The economic benefits of the mines have not been good in the past two years, and the pollution to the environment has been quite large, and safety accidents have been constant. Secretary Fan has emphasized the need to shut down small iron ore and small coal mines, but there are still large projects in the city and cannot be spared. I guess he has to make great efforts to rectify this time. We cannot be arrested. Even if we are arrested, it should be a positive example of vigorously rectifying safety hazards."

"Well, I understand what Secretary Li means." County Mayor Sun Wanhu nodded and replied, "In fact, the county's finances are still a little money. The two projects of cement plant and steel plant bring a lot of taxes. In the future, we still have to start from large projects. These small projects with small incomes and heavy pollution should be banned as much as possible."

The two of them stood next to the Loess Dam and discussed for a while. Although it was summer now, the night wind was a little cold in the second half of the night. The secretary took two windbreakers and put them on them. Then he went to the villagers' home to make a large pot of hot noodle soup with the stove. Everyone drank it all in a mess, and it was almost dawn.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the water conservancy experts in the county rushed over and looked at the environment around the dam. Several people discussed it and came up with an idea.

An expert in the lead suggested to the county leaders, "Although the scale of Panjiaying Mine is not large, it is long enough, especially the amount of silt deposited in this tailings dam is not small. We just measured it. The depth of the silt is at least twenty meters, and the depth in the middle may be deeper. Calculate the total amount of silt in the dam, which is about 400,000 to 500,000 cubic meters. Now the loess dam has some cracks, and unexpected situations may occur at any time, so we recommend that you drain the flow as soon as possible, and if necessary, you can consider directional blasting."

The leaders in the county looked at the village where smoke was rising opposite, and then listened to the words of the water conservancy experts. They felt a little frightened. Only when they stood here at the dam did they feel the concept of 400,000 square meters of mud and sand. If they looked at the paper numbers in the office, they would have no impression.

County Mayor Sun Wanhu exchanged views with Secretary Li Xiangyong, and immediately began to arrange work, mobilize several engineering teams from the county to come, and then organized the county's militia backbones to participate in the drainage activities. In order to prevent the situation, people were sent to the downstream villages to do work and temporarily bring the villagers out.

Everyone was busy all morning before they prepared the drainage channel. Then they selected a deserted beach as the drainage site, drilled holes on the loess dam there and filled explosives. After everything was done, the county magistrate Sun Wanhu gave the order and detonated three times on one side of the dam, blowing out a hole about ten meters wide.

The mud and sand that had been deposited for decades found the outlet for catharsis and immediately gushed out along the drainage channel. The dark brown gray-black mud leaned down with a lot of ore and went straight to the deserted beach. Some old turf trees and other trees on the deserted beach were as if they were destroyed by the impact of this torrent, and were swallowed up in an instant.

The leaders standing next to them, as well as some villagers who rushed over to help, were unable to stand firmly as they looked at the scene. If the mud and sand rushed towards the village, it could be imagined that there were not many survivors in the village.

Different from accumulated water, sediment is more difficult to discharge, especially when the dam bottoms out, the aged silt can no longer flow out.

On the opposite side of the desert, thick dark brown mud was everywhere, looking lifeless and silent.

"How should we deal with these things?" Looking at the deserted beach, Secretary Li Xiangyong had no idea for a while.

The water conservancy experts were more capable and immediately said, "It doesn't matter. After a while, after the air drying, some slag was pulled out from the steel plant and filled it out. You can build a park here."

"Can it work?" Li Xiangyong didn't know whether the expert's suggestion was feasible, so he asked.

The water conservancy expert pointed to the deserted beach in front and said to Li Xiangyong, "Secretary Li, you see, it was originally a bumpy and messy place, but now it is filled with these ore slags, but it is flat, even the rest and reclamation of the ground is saved. At that time, pull some slag and fill it up, and then pull the loess on the opposite side to form a rockery, then reinforce it with cement, build a pavilion, plant some trees and build some landscapes. If you are happy, you can draw water from the west to build a lake, and you will have a place to fish at that time."

After listening to the experts, everyone also looked at the environment here. Then the county magistrate Sun Wanhu said to the secretary Li Xiangyong, "I think there are more and more foreigners in the rock. These people usually stay in the city in addition to work, and have long been sick. If we transform some of the place, bring the river water to the west, and then make great efforts to transform it into a resort or something, the economic benefits will be very good. Besides, we have mountains to the north, and we will develop two tourist routes, which will attract many people nearby."

Everyone squatted in front of this large muddy land, discussed happily for most of the day, but finally felt that this would create a good hope. It was really a bad thing that turned out to be a good thing.

As for the villagers in the village who opposed the closure of the iron ore, after seeing the scene of the dam blasting just now, they were still a little scared and could not say anything anymore. Everyone knew that if the mud and sand in the dam were heading towards the village, no one would come out alive.

After they heard the county leaders discussing the development of this muddy land into a tourist area, they were immediately happy. They may not understand what the tourist area is, but everyone at least knew one thing, that is, if there were tourists here, opening some restaurants along the way could make a lot of money.

However, to develop such a large project, the investment will not be small. Although there is some capital in the county, it is not so easy to invest completely in development. After all, there are many other places to use money.

Fan Heng, Fan Wubing and his son and others returned to Panshi, but did not go home. They just slept in the office suite. Fan Heng went to a meeting early in the morning, leaving Fan Wubing to sleep until after eleven o'clock.

"Mr. Fan, are you awake?" When Fan Wubing cleaned up and came out, he heard a crisp voice calling him.

When Fan Wubing looked back, he found an old girl wearing a white shirt and washed blue jeans standing outside the office looking at him.

"Are you?" Fan Wubing asked her curiously.

The girl's eyes are big, a bit like in Japanese cartoons, but she doesn't look uncomfortable. Although she is also watery, she doesn't have that kind of ambiguous color.

"I am Secretary Fan's secretary, Song Qing." The girl replied, "Secretary Fan went to a meeting. Before leaving, he told me that if President Fan wakes up and gets you something to eat. I have already prepared the food. Do you want to heat it up for you now?"

"Oh, thank you." Fan Wubing felt a little hungry at this time. He got off the plane yesterday and went straight to Shuixi County. He didn't even have time to eat. He ate two bread in the car, and he had almost digested it at this time. He slept until now and was already hungry.

After Song Qing received Fan Wubing's approval, she poured him a glass of water first and then went out to get him some food.

After a while, Fan Wubing smelled the fragrance.

"Hey, it doesn't look like a restaurant--" Fan Wubing sucked his nose twice, feeling a little strange.

It tasted sour soup noodles, but it tasted different from the ones made in the municipal government hotel that I usually eat. At this time, Song Qing came in with a tray, with four side dishes on it and a bowl of hot sour soup noodles.

Fan Wubing was also hungry. He didn't even look at the four side dishes. He drank a bowl of sour soup noodles. There were two poached eggs in it. The vinegar added was also authentic Shanxi old vinegar. Fan Wubing was sweating all over his head and couldn't help but pat his stomach and smiled, "Where did I buy it? It's so delicious. I haven't eaten such authentic sour soup noodles in recent years!"

Song Qing looked at Fan Wubing's satisfaction and covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't you think it's so good? It's just that what I made for you just now, the materials were all from the municipal government hotel, but I just processed them myself."

"First-class craftsmanship!" Fan Wubing raised his thumb and praised, "I used to worry that my dad wouldn't eat well at work, but now I'm relieved if you are here."
