Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 234: Visiting the Old Hydropower Station

“But after a long period of river erosion, the two foothills will become smaller, and the bridge must be reinforced in time, otherwise it will lose its foundation within 50 years.

But the location near the island and on both sides is good, it is alluvial layer, and the river surface in the middle will no longer change drastically.

There are too many sand-dredging ships in the river, which can easily damage the ecology and the riverbed structure. You need to communicate well with the shipping department and increase law enforcement efforts on this point. "

Experts are experts. When talking about water conservancy, they started to talk nonstop. Qi Tongwei quickly took out his notebook to write down the key points.

"The environment of your river should be similar to that of the Yangtze River. Are there any returning knife fish in this season?"

Qi Tongwei was stunned by the question. He was from Lincheng, Handong. There was no river in Lincheng at all. The only lake was the subsidence area created by Li Dakang later. Now the subsidence area is still rotting there. Li Dakang was still raising funds to build roads in Jinshan. How could he have heard of this? He was not very interested in it, so he was stunned.

Fortunately, Lu Qiang was following him. He is a local and immediately joined in the conversation.

“Yes, Academician Huang, the fishing boats over there and on both sides are all catching knife fish. This season happens to be the season when knife fish return from the sea to fresh water to spawn.

The meat is very tender. The knife fish will eat enough food in this season and swim upstream to spawn nearby. I have arranged a knife fish feast for noon. "

Academician Huang's face immediately lit up with joy. It turned out that he was born in a city near the Yangtze River estuary and he loved this fish. In Jiangzhou, the Magic City, a bite of seasonal knife fish can cost several hundred yuan per catty, and twenty years later it can be sold for thousands of yuan per catty.

However, in Dong'ou, there is no custom of eating knife fish, and the price is relatively normal, only a dozen to several dozen yuan per catty. When transportation started to become more convenient and highways were built, the knife fish in Dongjiang River began to collectively pretend to be Yangtze River knife fish, take a bath in the Yangtze River to increase their value, and then sell them to big hotels in Jiangzhou.

"That won't be too expensive, will it?"

Academician Huang still looked embarrassed, but his behavior had already revealed that he was not just a pure scholar, and he also enjoyed the convenience brought by this identity.

"Academician Huang is worrying too much. In Dongjiang, this kind of fish is not expensive at all. Local people don't have the habit of eating knife fish in season like those along the Yangtze River. It is not popular, so the price is naturally within the normal range.

If you buy it directly from the fishing boat, it’s only about ten yuan per piece. It’s a little more expensive at the vegetable market, about twenty or thirty yuan per piece.”

Knife fish will not grow too big. If they are too big, they will not be so fresh and tender. Therefore, the sizes of those caught in this season are about the same. Although they are sold by kilogram in the market, they are basically sold by the piece on the fishing boats, so their sizes are all about the same.

Qi Tongwei and Lu Qiang looked at each other. They thought the old professor would be difficult to please and still liked to satisfy his appetite.

After Coaster arrived at Qinshan Town, a car came from the town to lead the way. Because the small hydropower station was built in a natural village on the mountainside, vehicles could only reach the administrative village and then walk up.

"Academician Huang, the hydropower station is at the top, and this is the infrastructure site below. Look over there, it's still more than 100 meters up, and the mountain road is a bit roundabout, so you have to walk more than 500 meters to get up.

Why don't you just rest here and let them pass."

Qi Tongwei suggested with a smile that in fact the hydropower station can be seen clearly from here, but the details still need to be seen at the top of the reservoir.

"No, no, no, I have to go and see it myself. Do you think this place was built before the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

Qi Tongwei had done his homework and answered immediately.

"The reservoir was built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The stations below were built before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The station where we are standing was built in the 1960s.

It officially started generating electricity in the 1960s, and to this day there are still positions such as stationmaster here.

This is the stationmaster."

The stationmaster is a cadre of Qinshan Town and also a village cadre of the local administrative village. He is also a veteran water conservancy cadre. When he saw the experts who appeared on TV coming here, he hurried forward to shake hands with them.

"Are you Academician Huang? You are the designer of the super dam. It is a great honor for you to visit our small hydropower station today."

He actually saw Academician Huang at first sight without greeting Qi Tongwei and the town secretary first. He seemed to be a professional cadre.

"Xiao Qi, he really looks like someone who works in water conservancy or geology.

You are always wearing rain boots, which are still covered with mud. Did you just come down from the mountain? "

After the director of the hydropower station came, Qi Tongwei fell out of favor. This was normal as he didn't understand water conservancy and didn't have much in common with the experts. Academician Huang, on the other hand, liked this township director of the hydropower station very much.

Qi Tongwei pulled Qinshan Town's current secretary and former mayor, Jin Dahai, and asked.

"Old Jin, has this stationmaster always been at the hydroelectric power station?"

Qi Tongwei had learned in advance that this hydropower station was initially directly managed by the municipal water conservancy department. Later, because its power generation could not keep up with the times, it gradually became outdated. In the past ten years, it has been directly managed by Qinshan Town.

The gap has changed from a department of the municipal functional bureau to a station in the township. Qi Tongwei must have thought that the previous batch of people must have all left, and those who remain now must have been appointed by Qinshan Town itself.

"General Manager, the station chief was an employee who worked at the hydropower station in the 1970s and later settled down here.

When the ownership was changed before, the city asked him if he wanted to go back, but he refused and transferred his relationship to Qinshan Town, where he has remained until now. "

After listening to this, Qi Tongwei nodded. As an old cadre who truly loves the water conservancy cause, he could not chat with Academician Huang for so long.

As they were talking, Academician Huang and two students had already put on their rain boots and various equipment, ready to climb the mountain. Qi Tongwei hurried forward.

"Academician Huang, it's almost noon. Why don't you go up the mountain now? Why don't you have lunch first?"

"We can go up very quickly. The mountain road over there will only take a few dozen minutes at most. The basic survey will not take long either. We can come down by twelve o'clock.

My fish is ready. You guys, all dressed in suits, just don't join in the fun.

The full stationmaster just needs to take us up there.

But our investigation will take at least three days, you have to find us a place to stay, and you can go back to your work, you don't have to follow us."

Qi Tongwei couldn't persuade Academician Huang, so he could only stay at the foot of the mountain and wait. He didn't dare to leave. The mayor personally instructed him to accompany him.

Qi Tongwei asked Lu Qiang to let the people from the district government office go directly to the Qinshan Town Government to work, as he did have a lot of things on hand.

The conference room of Qinshan Town was directly occupied by a large group of people called by Qi Tongwei, and several telephone lines were also pulled in.

"District Chief, the first group of people from Jinyang will be coming tomorrow. We have already communicated with Dongou Airlines and will temporarily add a flight route from Beijing.

It is said that the direct flight from Jinyang was not approved by them."
