Secretary Li Chuanyu came suddenly and left in a hurry.
After Li Jianguo arranged for Li Yushan and Sun Zongyuan to look after the construction site, he hurried to the county party committee to find Secretary Wang Peizhong to report on the inspection and instructions given by Secretary Li Chuanyu of the prefectural party committee today.
Wang Peizhong was also working overtime at the county committee. After listening to Li Jianguo's report, he pondered for a moment and said:
"It seems that you guys in Honghua Township have made quite a stir, causing Secretary Li to come and investigate. However, you must have done sufficient preparations beforehand, otherwise you would be in big trouble!"
"It's all Sun Zongyuan's fault, but after this road is built, the development of our Honghua Township will have a bright future. I've taken the risk, so if anything goes wrong, I'll be the one to handle it!"
"Isn't it all right? Tell me how you came to take over Secretary Li's mission?"
"Secretary Wang, we can finish the road surface in the next two days. The potato stones are ready. The next step is to spread the grouting sand. This step does not require the participation of ordinary people. I want to concentrate on mechanical construction, and then use mechanical vibration to sink the sand to the bottom. Then we will spread the sand, vibrate again, and then flood the area with water to allow the river sand to fully fill the gaps between the stones and stabilize the roadbed. This process will take about ten days. When the weather warms up and the temperature rises above ten degrees, we plan to lay concrete and pour the road surface according to the work area."
"Can you lay the concrete yourself?"
"Sun Zongyuan's idea is to train a road construction team by building this road. In the future, if there is such a road construction in the township, we can build it ourselves, and even go out of Honghua Township to carry out construction. I think this is also a good idea, so I agreed. For technical and other issues, we sent a technical team to stay on site for supervision and on-site guidance to ensure that the road is built well and the technology is taught and learned well." Li Jianguo reported.
"In that case, let the County Transportation Bureau provide free support to Honghua Township for transporting river sand, road compaction equipment, and flood irrigation equipment. The Transportation Bureau doesn't have many projects this Lunar New Year, but next month will be very busy, so we have a good gap. As for the issue of road construction funds, I see that your township is richer than the county, so you should find a solution yourself, how about it?"
"Thank you, Secretary Wang. This has been a great help to me. When I return, I will carefully supervise this road and strive to make it a demonstration road and model road for the entire region!"
Li Jianguo thought that this would save 200,000 yuan in project funds, so he had to ask the Transportation Bureau to provide manpower and equipment. He could not think of going back until the road was repaired.
The director of the Transportation Bureau did not think highly of the township party committee secretaries under him. Although Li Jianguo was the secretary of Honghua Township, he was also a member of the county party committee standing committee, which meant he was a county leader. When he heard that it was arranged personally by the county party secretary, he did not care about the wine and food for the New Year and promised with confidence that he would bring the deputy director in charge and the engineer to Honghua Township the next day.
The next day, Director Liu of the Transportation Bureau, along with Deputy Director Zhang Yu, Technical Section Chief Yan Jingshan and a group of seven, came to the Zhenxing Road construction site command center. The secretary, township head and Sun Zongyu received them together. Sun Zongyu reported on the design and construction of Zhenxing Road, and made detailed plans based on the requirements raised by Secretary Li of the region.
After finishing the report, Sun Zongyuan looked up at Director Liu. Like Sun Zongyuan, everyone else was looking at Director Liu, waiting for his opinion.
Yes, when it comes to road construction, Sun Zongyu’s technical level is amateur, and the migrant workers who build the road are also amateurs. When a few amateurs meet professionals, shouldn’t they listen to their comments?
"Village Chief Sun's design and planning proposal is very good. I estimate that this road will not be outdated for at least twenty years, and the construction plan is also very correct. Why don't Village Chief Sun come to the Transportation Bureau to be the director? At least our comrades in the bureau have not yet proposed such a forward-looking road design plan!" The person from the Transportation Bureau blushed.
"Director Liu, you're too kind. I'm just an amateur. How dare I compare myself to the experts at the Transportation Bureau? Wouldn't that be like showing off one's proficiency in front of an expert?"
"Director Liu, how do you think we should improve this road if we want it to be registered in the entire region?" asked Secretary Li Jianguo.
"This road is designed to be impressive. We need to make it famous throughout the region. My idea is..."
Director Liu means:
1. There are two or three sections with large slopes, with a total length of less than 600 meters. There are two sections with larger radius bends to increase vehicle speed.
2. The work after laying the sweet potato stone will be the responsibility of the Transportation Bureau, with cooperation from Honghua Township.
3. The total construction funds are approximately 1.5 million yuan, of which Honghua Township invested 1.2 million yuan, and the remaining 300,000 yuan will be sought from the county by the Transportation Bureau.
4. Honghua Township will complete the preliminary finishing work before the tenth day of the first lunar month. After the tenth day, the Transportation Bureau will squeeze out one and a half months to start construction, and strive to complete the project before the end of February!
Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo and Township Chief Zhao looked at each other and expressed their full agreement with Director Liu's opinion. They also appointed Sun Zongyuan as the full representative of Honghua Township to cooperate with the work of the Transportation Bureau!
When Sun Zongyuan heard this, he thought, there are gains and losses. What he gained was the support from the county, not only was the quality guaranteed but the road was also extended. What he lost was the opportunity for Honghua Township to train a road construction team.
After thinking for a while, he said to Director Liu:
"Director Liu, I have two ideas. Do you think they are suitable?"
"Zongyuan, you're a well-known young cadre throughout the county. If you have any good suggestions, let's communicate properly. Don't be polite!"
"Okay, my idea is to extend Zhenxing Road three kilometers west to the planned Fushan Middle School. We'll basically follow the original rural road, with a 7-meter cement hardened surface and 1.5-meter shoulders on both sides. That's the first question."
"The second issue is the construction cost. I estimate it to be 1.8 million. The Transportation Bureau will seek 600,000 from the county, and our township will contribute 1.2 million. The funds will be allocated in two installments. Upon completion, we will allocate 500,000. All the funds will be settled before the end of the year. What do you think?" Sun Zongyu continued.
"My third question is, for this road construction, in addition to the technicians and equipment, the Transportation Bureau is using mostly migrant workers from our township. Is it okay to use this opportunity to train a road construction team for Honghua Township?"
Director Liu is named Liu Xiuwei, 42 years old. He was the deputy regimental commander of the engineering corps and returned to work as a deputy director and director. He has excellent organizational skills and amateur level. Two years later, he was promoted to deputy county magistrate and five years later, he became the regional transportation director.
"Secretary Li, Sun Zongyuan of yours has a big appetite, but I like him. If his words represent you two, then I'll agree. It's a pleasure to be with someone who really gets things done!"
Secretary Li Jianguo naturally said, "His words are the opinions of our village. Let's do it! Let's go! The canteen has slaughtered a sheep. Let's have a good New Year's drink!"
Li Jianguo was very happy. He didn't expect that Sun Zongyuan extended the road by another three kilometers, leading directly to the planned new base. The township with a ten-kilometer cement road was the only one among the twenty-one townships in the county. The key was that no extra money was spent. It seemed that he was not afraid of not being able to do it but was afraid of not being able to think of it. Once the idea was opened, everything would be open!
