Chapter 109: The Problem of the Road

Wen Ruguo is 49 years old, seven years older than the county party secretary Ren Jianjun.In Hongchuan County, he is the only cadre who enjoys being at the top level after the top leaders of the four major teams.

He has been the deputy secretary at the division level for three years. Before Ren Jianjun came to Hongchuan, he was the deputy secretary of the county party committee of Hongchuan County, but he was still at the deputy division level at that time.The original county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee of Hongchuan County was transferred away at the same time, and a secretary was airborne from the province. According to the usual practice, he should succeed the county magistrate, but the municipal party committee chose to let Ren Jianjun down and take over as the county magistrate.

Wen Ruguo had a lot of dissatisfaction with this, and there was an emotional quarrel for a while, so the organization had no choice but to give him a director-level treatment.One step was late, every step was late, because this step was not in place, Wen Ruguo is still the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and Ren Jianjun has been transferred from the county magistrate to the county party secretary.It was because of his trouble before that, after Ren Jianjun was promoted, it was not his turn to be the county magistrate.

However, Wen Ruguo has been the deputy secretary of management and cadres for five years. Almost half of the county-level cadres in the county are directly or indirectly promoted and reused by Wen Ruguo.

Lu Yan was in the same car with the head of organization Ma Yuan. The county party committee had informed the Sidaogou town government last night to pick them up by car. However, they left early in the morning and hadn't seen him until the afternoon. shadow.

It is estimated that either the car is broken down on the road, or it is stuck in a certain area.The County Party Committee Office called Sidaogou Town, but they said that Liu Da, Secretary of the Town Party Committee, and Cao Xu, Mayor of the Town, had set off early in the morning, and they couldn't be contacted now, probably because the car broke down in that ravine.

From Sidaogou Town to the county seat of Hongchuan County, there are about ten kilometers of roads that are simple roads in mountainous areas, which is the road built by the whole county as mentioned above.There is a long section of this road winding on the cliff, with a steep wall on one side and a canyon tens of meters deep on the other.

In case of any accidents, such as brake failure, direction failure and other failures, it is only a matter of life, and you will not die if you fall.

Ma Yuan, Lu Yan and Ma Yuan's secretary Xiao Chen sat in the car.Ma Yuan has a problem. He doesn't like to sit in the leadership position in the back row, but likes to grab the co-pilot's seat. This is different from other cadres. The seat next to the driver is usually occupied by a full-time secretary.

This habit did not exist from the very beginning, to be precise, it was only after Ma Yuan became the head of the organization.Someone once asked Ma Yuan after drinking, and Ma Yuan's answer was because the traffic conditions in Hongchuan were really unflattering. The rear seat was just on the rear wheels, and who could stand it for several hours?

On the contrary, the two driving seats in the front row are in the middle of the car, the degree of vibration is less, and the driver can take a nap to replenish energy if he drives slowly.Therefore, Ma Yuan always sat in the front row.

Lu Yan and secretary Xiao Chen naturally sat in the back row.

It took more than three hours to get to Sidaogou Town. Minister Ma Yuan was a chatterbox himself, but when he met Lu Yan, he was also very talkative, and he covered a wide range of astronomy, geography, current affairs, and politics. In addition, Secretary Chen occasionally interjected a few words In other words, a few people talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't seem bored.

As they chatted, they came back to the road under their feet. Ma Yuan was an old Hongchuan, a native of Hongchuan County, and had never left this place for work, so he knew the situation in Hongchuan very well.

"Speaking of Sidaogou, the biggest constraint is the traffic," Ma Yuan said. "On such a washboard road, things in the mountains can't come out, and things outside can't get in. There's no talk of development." Ma Yuan said Pointing to the road outside the car window, the road is full of uneven asphalt blocks, and the entire width of the road is only enough for two cars to pass by.

"Have the previous county governments thought about building this road?" Lu Yan asked.

"Why didn't I think about it? In the past ten years, almost every government's development plan has been inseparable from the proposal to build roads for Sidaogou, but it has never been realized every time." Ma Yuan replied without answering.

"Then why haven't you worked it out?" Lu Yan asked curiously.

"Why didn't you fix it?" Ma Yuan murmured as if talking to himself, and then said: "It's not all because of the topography, geology, mountains and deep valleys of this Daqingshan. Apart from building such a winding road, otherwise Just building viaducts and building tunnels is too much investment, so it’s better to relocate all the people in Sidaogou.”

Lu Yan fell into silence. Listening to Ma Yuan's tone, it seemed that the county party committee and county government had the idea of ​​abandoning Sidaogou Town.

"In the county, experts from the Provincial Road and Bridge Design Institute were invited to do a design. To really build a four-lane standardized secondary road leading to Hongchuan County, [-] viaducts and eight tunnels were needed. Ten kilometers, the initial budget is to invest one billion." Seeing that Lu Yan didn't speak, Ma Yuan guessed what Lu Yan was thinking.

One billion!Lu Yan also took a breath when he heard this. He still knows what one billion means, especially for a town with only 2 people, it seems really unrealistic to invest one billion to build a road. , It is indeed better to relocate these people as a whole.

"The county has never thought of repairing this winding mountain road?" Lu Yan asked again.

"This road needs to be repaired every year, but it is a winding mountain road, and there is no way to widen it. In addition, the geological conditions are unstable, and the road is often muddy, so it looks like this." Ma Yuan said.

Lu Yan didn't speak, Ma Yuan glanced at him who was thinking about something with his head down, and stopped talking.

At this time, Lu Yan was completely stunned by the situation in Sidaogou.To be honest, before he came to work, his original plan was to build a decent road for Sidaogou Town through the relationship of the province no matter what, but hearing what Ma Yuan said just now, it was like pouring cold water on him.

One billion, this is not a small amount, and it was a budget made by someone a few years ago.Just for a small town, it requires an investment of one billion yuan, Lu Yan is really not sure about it now.

Lu Yan thinks that he is really naive. If the matter is really so easy to solve, Hongchuan County has already solved this problem, and he can still let him, a young man, pick peaches.

Lu Yan smiled wryly in his heart, and suddenly raised his head to see Ma Yuan turning his head to look at him.

"Minister Ma..."

"I didn't expect the conditions in Sidaogou to be so bad. It doesn't matter. You go down and hang around. I'll second you to the Organization Department in two months." Ma Yuan said to Lu Yan with a smile.

"Thank you, Minister Ma, for your kindness, but this time I came here to exercise. In the most difficult places at the lowest level, maybe I got more exercise." Lu Yan also said with a smile.

Ma Yuan smiled and didn't speak. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt the driver slam on the brakes, and Ma Yuan's body almost hit the windshield.

"What's the matter, can't you drive more steadily?" Ma Yuan adjusted his body and said to the driver angrily.

"The secretary's car stopped suddenly and caught me by surprise." The driver said a little aggrieved.

Ma Yuan looked up and saw that Wen Ruguo's car had stopped in front, and Wen Ruguo had already got out of the car at this time.

Ma Yuan also hurriedly unfastened his seat belt and jumped out of the car, followed by Lu Yan and Secretary Chen.

"Secretary Wen, what happened?" Ma Yuan approached and asked in a low voice.

"You get in my car and let Xiaotian squeeze into your car." Wen Aiguo said, Xiaotian is Wen Aiguo's secretary, and was sitting in Wen Aiguo's car before.

Ma Yuan followed Wen Ruguo into his off-road vehicle.Lu Yan vaguely felt that something serious must have happened, so Wen Ruguo and Ma Yuan wanted to discuss it in the car.
