Chapter 1348: Zhijian Opens the Gates

d to Mayor Dai Xuem Song's side, whispering, “Mayor Dai, there's something I need to report to you...”Dai Xuesong listened and frowned, "Is there such a situation" Tang Youwei nodded, "Indeed, this ti...At last night's meeting of the provincial Party Standing Committee, Provincial Party Secretary Xiong gave an order that the five upstream counties would temporarily store floodwater for two hours. After the Beijing Work Guidance Group arrives, a scientific assessment will be conducted before deciding whether to open the floodgates and release water or continue storing it. 。After the meeting, Miao Zhijian rushed back to Liushui City without stopping. He called on the way to ensure the implementation of the provincial party committee meeting spirit. 。For two hours of flood storage, Mu Zhijian resolutely implemented it without any discount!Mu Zhijian has a principle in doing things: before the provincial committee's decision, he will actively put forward opinions based on local realities, but once the provincial committee's decision is made, Mu Zhijian will also quickly implement and resolutely carry it out! Therefore, before Mu Zhijian returned to Heliu City, through telephone deployment, the water gates of key counties and key flood storage areas had already been lowered!Mu Zhijian called Mayor Ren Yajun and asked him to deploy flood control tasks. Villagers in places with lower terrain, located within the flood storage area prone to subsidence, and prone to landslides must be immediately evacuated. A rotating shift system for cadres should be implemented throughout the city, counties, townships, and villages, ensuring that there are people on duty 24 hours a day, ready to respond to any emergencies at any time. 。The Party Secretary of the municipal committee, Miao Zhijian himself, went back and forth between various counties' main rivers and flood detention areas with relevant municipal leaders and the head of the flood control office to grasp the situation. 。Miu Zhijian demanded that the county party secretary and county magistrate must go to the site together and see the disaster situation with their own eyes! From one county to another, as the flood storage time increased, Mu Zhijian found that the waterways he surveyed later were obviously rising faster and fuller than those he had surveyed earlier! The head of the local hydrological station reported that if they persisted, some places would be flooded soon!

Miu Zhijian was anxious. He knew it was only two hours away... 。Miu Zhijian immediately called Hong Fa Gao, the director of the provincial Water Resources Department, to ask if they could release floodwaters. Hong Fa Gao was also attending a meeting at the provincial level. When he saw that it was Miu Zhijian calling, he naturally knew his purpose – to request the release of floodwaters. 。Hong FaGao didn't answer the call, but instead sent a text message: "In a meeting, will call you back later!"

Seeing this text message, Mu Zhijian was naturally unhappy. He wore a raincoat, and because he needed to use his phone, his contact person held an umbrella for him. On the water-stained screen, Mu Zhijian typed a question: "When can we finalize it" The provincial Water Conservancy Department **Hong FaGao angrily replied with another text:** "Secretary Mu, just hold your horses, don't even think about leaking so soon!" There was a hint of mockery in his tone. 。

Mu Zhijian naturally knew that Hong Fa Gao was joking with him. 。But Mu Zhijian thought, only those who were still in the conference room and hadn't seen the surging flood with their own eyes could make such a joke! The liaison officer beside him advised: "Secretary Mu, why don't you go back to the car The wind and rain are heavy on this bridge, and your phone might get wet." 。"Mu Zhijian looked down at the churning, muddy waters below the bridge. Under the lights, the wind and rain lashed at him. In the distance, the towns and villages in the flood control area were still twinkling with light. If the flood issue wasn't resolved, tomorrow morning, those areas would likely be submerged, displacing tens of thousands of people! Mu Zhijian couldn't bear to leave this bridge, which offered a panoramic view of both the river and the flood control area. He feared that once he returned to his car, back to the comfortable air-conditioned office, he'd forget the hardships faced by the people, just like most of the attendees at the provincial meeting did. With a flick of his wrist, they could easily decide the fate of tens of thousands. "I'll make a few more calls!" Mu Zhijian picked up his phone again and called both Li Long, the Party secretary of Dao Kou Shan City, and Ren Chaode, the Party secretary of Mei Yu City." 。Miu Zhijian asked them, with two hours to go, whether they should open the floodgates together. The Communist Party secretaries of Dao Kou Shan City and Mei Yu City both said that there were no new orders from the provincial government, and they dared not release the floodwaters. 。Li Long's relationship with Mu Zhijian privately is still very good. He said more thoroughly on the phone: "Comrade Mu Zhijian, you don't blame me for not acting with you..." 。"You still can't see it clearly from yesterday evening's Standing Committee meeting The leaders' homes are all in Yuezhou and Shenzhen, aren't they Are you going to flood people's houses with your discharge Do you still want to mix around afterwards"

Miao Zhijian thought in his heart, Leaders' homes are homes, aren't ordinary people's homes homes too But he knew that it was pointless to say this to Li Long, instead he said: "Yesterday at the meeting, Xiao Zheng, the mayor from Ninggan who is now the Standing Deputy Director of the Huaxing Flood Prevention and Disaster Relief Yuezhou Working Group, didn't propose staggered flood discharge I think this idea is very feasible! Our different counties in each city stagger their flood discharge times, maybe it could alleviate the pressure on the middle and lower reaches, allowing all levels to get through this difficult time."

"Staggered flood discharge sounds easy, but it's hard to implement!" Dao Koucheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Long reminded, "What if the staggered discharge doesn't go well, causing the floodwaters to surge and flooding Yuezhou What kind of risk do you think the leadership would take" Hearing this, Miao Zhijian couldn't help but say, "We can't just talk about the leadership layer, the leadership layer. Does the leadership layer not care about the people I think there is some, at least, Secretary Xiong does, and Xiao Zheng, who dares to speak out, too." 。However, Li Long waved it off and said, "Do you know why Because Secretary Xiong just arrived in Guangdong and doesn't have a home, a house, or any other assets here! As for Xiao Zheng, he's only an executive deputy director of the guiding group. Does he have any personal interests at stake Not at all!" 。But most of the leaders in our provincial leadership team are different. They have houses, families, and relatives and friends with businesses here! Do you understand now Are you going to offend so many leaders Don't you really want to keep your position You can, but I, Li Long, can't. I have elderly parents and children, and I need face. I still need to mix things up in Guangdong! Comrade Mu Zhijian, at this time, you really need to be cautious. 。。By comparison, Meiyu Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ren Chaode's relationship with Miao Zhijian is more general. So, over the phone, Ren Chaode only said that he was also waiting for notice. 。Last night, it was the provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi who ordered them to hold back the floodwater. Without his notification, he wouldn't privately release the floodgates. 。Mu Zhijian said: "But, Secretary Xiong said that we can only store floodwater for two hours. We will notify after that." 。Ren Chaode said: “That's right, it's a matter of further notification. Since the notification hasn't arrived yet, we can't act on our own! Secretary Miao, if you want to leak it, just leak it. Our Meiyue City doesn't dare...” 。Miu Zhijian knew he couldn't persuade them. 。Mu Zhijian had just put down the phone helplessly. He wanted to make one last attempt, so he mustered his courage and called Xiong, the secretary of the provincial committee. 。Secretary Xiong didn't pick up the phone personally, but Secretary Xiong's secretary, Yang Jie, answered: "Secretary Miao, is there anything important" "Hello, Chief Yang," 。“Miu Zhijian said, “Secretary Xiong, can you take my call now I want to ask for instructions. The river gates in our Heliu City have been storing water for almost two hours now, and the rivers and reservoirs of three key counties have already exceeded the alert line. If we continue to store water, it will result in towns and villages being flooded. We are applying to open the floodgates!”

Yang Jie received the call outside the meeting room. The meeting inside was at a critical juncture, so he said to Miu Zhijian, “Secretary Miu, please wait a moment. Secretary Xiong and other leaders and experts are discussing in a meeting! Please wait a little longer, I will report to Secretary Xiong as soon as the meeting ends.” 。"That's it for now!" Yang Jie hung up the phone. 。Wei Zhijian looked at the hung-up phone and glanced again at the rushing Taotuo River. He muttered to himself, “At this time, what's the use of holding so many meetings!” At this moment, his cell phone rang again. Wei Zhijian felt a glimmer of hope, thinking it might be a notice from the provincial government. But when he saw it was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of QingShui County in HeLiu City, his heart sank, and he hurriedly answered the call. 。Only hearing the report from the other party: "Secretary Mu, the three villages in our flood storage area have been flooded, dozens of households have begun to flood, we are organizing personnel to evacuate, reporting to you!" Mu Zhijian felt a bitter feeling in his heart. Villagers had to start relocating again. He urged: "I understand the situation! You must immediately organize personnel evacuation and strive to avoid casualties and missing persons." 。The other party said, “Secretary Mu, we’ve done our best, but based on past experience, it would be too difficult to achieve zero casualties.” 。But we'll do our best!"

"Good" 。After hanging up the phone, Mu Zhijian immediately asked the director of water conservancy next to him: "How many minutes are left before the 2-hour deadline set by the provincial committee for closing the sluice gates" The director of water conservancy glanced at his watch: "There are still 2 minutes left." 。"Miu Zhijian said: 'Notify all sluice gates, when the time comes, all sluice gate openings, open to release floodwaters.'" 。The director of water conservancy was startled: “Is this allowed by the provincial government” “Secretary Xiong said at the beginning that we should store water upstream for 2 hours, and now the time has come.” 。If there are no new notifications, we will release the floodgates. 。We have made contributions to the downstream! I take all the responsibility! You can record my words, and it has nothing to do with other cadres. I will take the responsibility alone!”

Miao Zhijian asked the liaison officer to record these words! But the liaison officer dissuaded him: “Secretary Miao, this is not good” 。"The leaders who followed also said, "Secretary Miao, you are thinking of the people of Heishui City and this land. How can we let you carry such a heavy burden alone! If the province wants to investigate responsibilities, we are all willing to take them!" Miao Zhijian replied, "With your words, I feel it's worth it." 。But this time, let me take responsibility. 。"If this means I have to leave, then the city of Heishui will be relying on all of you in the future! There's no need for everyone to sacrifice themselves. We need to preserve our strength! This is strategy, and it is an order!" After finishing his words, Mu Zhijian instructed a liaison officer to record a statement taking sole responsibility for the decision, then declared: "Inform all the sluice gates to open and release the floodwaters!"As the key flood control gates in Heishui City's three counties opened wide, beginning the controlled release of water, the provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting was also underway, analyzing the situation with utmost seriousness.n had a child! This is the ultimate betrayal. 。"Now I've got another piece of news: the elderly heads of the Xiao family in Huajing and the Xiao family in Hangzhou seem to be getting married!""This.....
