Chapter 762 The Long Dragon Immortal River ascends to Baoyu!
Baoyu County·Longji River.
In the middle of the entire New World, there is a surging river that spans the north and south. This river is shaped like a giant dragon, winding and flowing, passing through tens of thousands of large and small territories, providing sufficient water supply for the creatures along the way, and is loved by humans. It was named 'Changlong Xianjiang'.
The section passing through Baoyu County in Tianyuan Territory is located at the Dragon's Back when viewed from a high altitude, so it is naturally named Longji River.
The Longji River is majestic and wide, running unceasingly. The wide part of the river is 60 meters wide, and the narrow part is as much as 40 meters. There are countless fish swimming in it and it is rich in aquatic products, which is a natural source of fish and rice. granary.
As for Baoyu County and even the surrounding villages and towns, they rely on mountains and water, so they happen to be built near both sides of the river.
“Magistrate Su, from here on, we enter our Baoyu County area!”
At this time, the train was crossing the bridge on the Longji River at a low speed of ten kilometers per hour. above.
Looking out the window, the river under the bridge is flowing very fast, like water from a hanging river flowing straight to the end of the field of vision.
On the river, there are more than ten wooden boats swaying with the current, struggling to find balance in the waves.
Sumo stood close to the window and looked around at the situation on both sides of the river. As expected, there were indeed many more residential areas and paddy fields than before.
"Minister Hu, the Longji River seems to be more dangerous than the outside rumors say?" He asked in a deep voice.
"County Magistrate Su is indeed very discerning." Hu Yuanyong, who was in charge of the introduction next to him, nodded slightly, with a strange look on his face.
He is the director of the Materials Department of Baoyu County.
Last night, almost all department heads in Baoyu County received news that a new manager was coming, as well as the new manager’s previous identity information.
After learning that this "airborne county magistrate" was previously a free-market electronics worker who only made a small fortune during the summer harvest, most people, although not scornful, still had a somewhat salty attitude.
One night passed, people who were supposed to go to work, people who were supposed to go on business trips, no one thought of coming to greet the Su County Magistrate in advance.
Only he is different.
As one of the many sons-in-law of the Chen family, he knew very well how terrifying the background of County Magistrate Su before him was.
Even before dawn, he took a ride to Tianyuan Railway Station early, inquired about the train schedule in advance, and waited patiently in the car.
The reason is to leave a good impression on County Magistrate Su.
“The weather was hot. There were three days of hail in the New World a few days ago. The hail in the interior melted and entered the earth to provide moisture. However, the hail on both sides melted into the Changlong Xianjiang River, making the water flow faster and faster. The faster it goes, the higher the water level becomes."
"Coupled with the frequent disasters over the years, serious soil erosion on both sides of the strait, and we do not have enough infrastructure to consolidate a dam, we can only rely on the source. Baoyu Reservoir to control the flow rate. In addition, we were holding a meeting yesterday to discuss whether to temporarily evacuate the villagers on both sides of the river. Otherwise, if there is another flood coming from the upstream, the consequences may be disastrous.”
“So that’s it” Su Mo nodded slightly, and his understanding of Baoyu County suddenly deepened.
Flooding.
Not to mention in this wasteland with frequent disasters, even in the civilized era with full infrastructure, we can encounter them almost every year.
Looking back in ancient times, a flood would often take away the efforts of a generation along the line.
The reason why Baoyu County is declining is absolutely inseparable from the Longji River becoming more and more raging!
“How did the county respond to this situation in the past?”
“In the past?” Hu Yuanyong pondered for a while: “In the past, the storage capacity of Baoyu Reservoir reached about 70%. At that time, in order to prevent accidental collapse of the reservoir, we will begin to discharge the water downstream and introduce the water from the Longji River into the adjacent Qingshui River and Lianhua River. At the same time, we will notify residents on both sides of the river in advance and help them transfer their belongings. After the water level recedes to a certain level, normal life will return to normal"
"How much is the storage capacity now?" Sumo asked again, grasping the key point.
"Yesterday it was 49.5%. According to the reported flow rate, it should be about 55% today. It is expected to hit 70% of the reservoir line within seven days, but this time it is just the hail melting, not a big problem." Hu Yuan Yong smiled and then pointed to the fishing boats on the river: "These fishermen's perception of water potential is much more accurate than data. They can predict future changes in water flow just by looking at the behavior of fish schools under the water surface."< br>
“As long as they are still fishing on the river, it means that the current situation is far from reaching the limit of the Longji River!”
“Indeed, the duck prophet of Spring River Plumbing, lives in the water These people around here are really good." Wang Qian, who was sitting next to him, also added: "The Changlong Fairy River crisscrosses the wasteland, and the upstream discharges floods. There will definitely be a lot of big fish washed down."
"If you miss this opportunity, , when the water enters tributaries such as Qingshui River and Lianhua River, then it will be time for other surrounding small and medium-sized territories! ”
"Well, it makes sense." Sumo nodded slightly, neither denying nor continuing the topic.
Things that cannot be seen in the information and cannot be clearly understood can suddenly become clear after only half a day of on-site inspection.
Why has Baoyu County’s fishery never developed?
It has nothing to do with the fact that the fish species in the data are not good, there are very few fishermen, there is no policy support, and there are no good managers.
With this kind of water flow environment and this kind of infrastructure facilities, we can't ask fishermen to spend several years building dams and reservoirs by themselves, right?
It is very likely that at the beginning, some people wanted to turn this place into a continuous cornucopia with a stable fish catch.
But as time goes by, when it is discovered that the investment and the harvest are completely out of proportion, more and more people will naturally hold the idea of buying and selling.
“Build a dam? Or build a reservoir?”
“But whether it’s the territory or me, there are still three to five years to wait for these infrastructures to be in place.”
Su Mo understood clearly in his heart, and instantly understood why the territory had been reluctant to develop Baoyu County as a focus over the years.
It's not a financial problem or a technical problem.
Time is the knife that looks dull but is actually the sharpest.
Disasters are so frequent that no one dares to build a building with a long construction period.
Once you encounter a disaster like a major earthquake that can affect the entire New World, it means that all the upfront investment will be sunk.
This is definitely a fact that no lord dares to face directly.
"County Magistrate Su, our Baoyu Station is ahead."
After crossing the bridge, we walked for about half an hour, and buildings made of concrete appeared in our field of vision.
Compared with Tianyuan Station, Baoyu Station is obviously much poorer. There are only bungalows and two-story buildings beside the tracks.
Even the platforms on both sides of the track were completely open-air, scorched by the harsh sunlight, and not a single person was seen.
However, as the train slowly entered the station, more than twenty figures in light green short-sleeved shorts and more than a dozen middle-aged men in formal clothes quickly appeared in the bungalow.
There are both men and women in the light green group, and they are not restricted. They all wear a straw hat to block the sun, and their exposed skin is also covered with a layer of light black ice gauze to protect them from the sun.
The group of people wearing formal attire next to them were obviously much more serious.
On a hot day, they were still dressed in black sportswear, standing neatly together, moving their eyes as the train moved forward.
The person taking the lead was a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure and a slightly protruding belly.
This man has a clear beard and is about 1.8 meters tall. On his waist, you can clearly see a black pistol emitting bursts of cold light.
And being able to bring guns here so obviously.
"The Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Baoyu County, Zhang Zhongyuan, together with a group of officers from the Armed Forces Department, welcomed the arrival of County Magistrate Su and the arrival of Captain Wang." As soon as the train stopped, Su Mo took a step forward, and the middle-aged man Get closer now.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to put down their luggage and quickly return the favor.
"Hey, Minister Zhang also came to pick up our new county magistrate today. It seems that our county magistrate's itinerary has not been kept secret!" Hu Yuanyong from behind also walked out and saw Zhang Zhongyuan was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
In the Tianyuan territory, the government is well-organized, and members of the Chen family are distributed all over the place to "monitor" at all times. There are no cliques or corruption at all.
But looking at the past, there are managers who can use their connections to hold the material department and the armed forces department of a county in their hands before they officially take office. Sumo is really the first one.
"It's been three years since we were separated. Zhongyuan seems to be doing well." Wang Qian came out, and the two held hands together excitedly: "How is it? Are you getting used to life after retirement? "
"Getting used to it? No, no, no, I always think about returning to our Northern Military Region and conquering the world with the commander, this damn Baoyu County, I'm going to get rusty here." Seeing an acquaintance, the two started chatting decisively.
Sumo was next to him and met the green short-sleeved group who had been waiting aside.
"Brother Su, if you don't come again, I really have to go to Sangtian Town to see what attracts you!" Walking quickly, the leader, Green T-shirt, took off his straw hat, revealing a familiar face.
It is Sun Quan who has been away for more than ten days!
As soon as he came up, he first put his fist on Somo's shoulder affectionately, and then took the initiative to give him a hug.
"How about it, are you used to living in Baoyu County these days?"
"Get used to it, why aren't you used to it? It's much more interesting here than Sangtian Town." Standing separately, Sun Quan said with a dark smile A flash of excitement flashed across his face.
Only half a month has passed, and now he is obviously darker, but correspondingly, his originally thin body has become slightly stronger.
And, compared with these physical changes, the psychological changes made Sun Quan's whole body seem to radiate with confidence.
"Su Su Youzong, you're here!" Zhang Min on the side also took off his straw hat and walked up, greeting with a slight stutter.
After spending some time in the sun, Zhang Min's originally white complexion gradually turned into a healthy wheat color.
Coupled with her exquisite facial features and the protein supplement she had not lacked for a long time, she is now even more beautiful than before.
Everyone will be more tolerant of such people.
Even though Sumo was not from the Appearance Association, the last remaining grudge in her heart couldn't help but dissipate after she finished speaking.
“I have already finished handling the Liangfang side, and I have asked Mayor Chen to help us look after the remaining shops. In the days to come, this will be our new base camp!”
"Let's go, I read the letters you sent back every day saying how well prepared they are, now I have to go and see with my own eyes."
Seeing Wang Qian waving in front, Sumo joked with a smile After a few words, the group began to exit the station following the signs above their heads.
only.
Baoyu Station, which is supposed to be a major transportation thoroughfare, is very sparsely populated. It is obviously noon, but there is not a single passenger at all.
There were only three station employees. When they saw everyone walking out, they stood up from a distance and paid attention respectfully.
"Is it because I came here today to enforce martial law, or is there not many people here in the past?" After walking outside the station without seeing anyone, Sumo finally couldn't help but turned his head and asked.
The surrounding area of Baoyu County is desolate, and he can still understand it somewhat.
But when we arrived near the station, it still looked desolate, which was completely different from the information.
According to what Sun Quan collected before, even if Baoyu County does not have many foreign tourists, there are still a lot of goods coming in and out here.
Nowadays, let alone goods, it is people
“How do you say this?” Sun Quan was slightly stuck: “Brother Su, there is indeed nothing wrong with the things recorded in the data, but we have ignored one thing. The key thing"
"Time!" Sun Quan spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "The information that can be collected is from a year ago. This year has passed, and Baoyu County has been under the leadership of the predecessor. The development is getting worse and worse under the influence of the policies formulated by the administrators. I can’t really tell what has changed and what has not changed in a few words. Anyway, you will know when you go to the county town!”
"Can't you explain?" Su Mo was stunned. What is going on?
He wanted to ask again.
But suddenly three large buses drove up ahead.
I had no choice but to keep these questions in my mind, get on the car, and stagger towards Baoyu County.
I hope that the asphalt roads near the city can be repaired within three days even if there are big holes in them due to hail.
But Baoyu County is not so fast. Even after nearly half a month, there are still many potholes on the road.
Like a small boat bumping on the water.
After shaking for more than an hour, a sparsely spaced city cluster slowly appeared on the land.
"Baoyu County is ahead" Sun Quan lowered his voice.
Sumo raised his head and looked forward.
The bus has now arrived at the outermost edge of Baoyu County, and it will approach the ten-meter stone brick wall in another two to three minutes.
Because it is located at the outermost edge of Tianyuan territory, the predecessor of Baoyu County was a bunker used to defend against the outside.
On its wall, there are dense black iron thorns mixed in the stone cracks, emitting a cold light.
In the middle of the wall, there is an arched gate gap, and many people are rushing in and out at this time.
Following this straight road, under the curious eyes of the people around, the bus slowly drove into the door.
Behind the door, it suddenly becomes clear.
Most of the buildings surrounded by walls are mainly two and three stories, and it is rare to see buildings higher than four stories.
Compared to the tall Hope City, this place is more down-to-earth.
Vellers with street stalls can be seen everywhere along the road, as well as shops with their doors open and shouting for business.
Through the gap in the car window, Sumo even smelled a lot of familiar food smells from the civilized era.
"This is the old city of Baoyu County. It is a city that was renovated from a former bunker. Most of the people living in it are aborigines and some people who came from other places in Baoyu County." Seeing Sumo's curiosity, Hu Yuan used to He came forward and took over the responsibility of the tour guide.
“The old city mainly focuses on life, trade, and entertainment”
“Going inside is the new city we will build later, focusing on...urban development!”
Along This road goes straight in, and as expected, the car will drive out from another city gate after a while.
Now, Sumo really saw clearly the true face of "Baoyu County" recorded in the previous information!
There are no tall walls or old buildings.
The new town in Baoyu County is like a patch on the ground, with various fish ponds dug out everywhere.
Triangles, circles, rhombuses, quadrilaterals, hexagons.
All kinds of strange fish ponds just occupy each plot of land, surrounded by dense dark green plants. of woodland.
A large number of gray-brown birds are flying above the fish pond.
Right in front of each fish pond are the colorful residences built by the fishermen themselves.
“Well, this is the policy issued by the previous manager to revive our fishery in Baoyu County!”
Summed by Su Mo’s strange eyes, Hu Yuan suddenly felt Awkward.
There are many factors that prevent Baoyu County from developing, among which the manager cannot be ignored.
After several rounds of attempts failed to attract investment in the factory, the previous manager simply broke the pot and came up with a policy where everyone can fish.
As for this policy, let’s not mention its effectiveness.
Just dealing with the mess left behind is enough to make everyone who tries to buy the identity of a manager shy away!
