Chapter 731 Qiao Nan's Insights
This situation had happened once before with Zhai Sheng, and Qiao Nan was frightened at the time.
Fortunately, Zhai Sheng had always been very tolerant of Qiao Nan, and he never forced her to say anything she didn't want to say, so Qiao Nan gradually relaxed.
This time, she was exposed in front of Shi Peng, which made Qiao Nan brace herself again, because there must not be a third time.
Qiao Nan slowly slowed down his pounding heartbeat: "It's not a question of understanding or not. You are from Shanghai, but I grew up in Pingcheng, so I know more about Pingcheng's situation than you do. Three years ago, there was a clear stream in the east of Pingcheng. The clear stream water had a sweet taste. Small fish and shrimps were also very easy to catch. Especially in summer, as long as it didn't rain too much, many people would go fishing. The beauty of that stream was no less than any description of a stream in the textbook. But just two years ago, a piece of flat land in front of the stream was built into a factory, and the stream was cut off. The stream became stagnant water. It first became smelly, and then it simply dried up. If you go there now, the former stream has become a road."
"This is just one example. You came late and know little. This kind of situation is very common in Pingcheng. Some places in China have sufficient water resources, but some places are seriously short of water. How important a water source is to people in water-scarce areas is not something we, who live in areas without water shortages, can understand. The environment is damaged and polluted, but for a while, you may not feel anything particularly bad. When a problem really occurs, it will probably be a bit too late. Why is desertification so serious in the west? "People in places with heavy rainfall have been planting white poplars. Why do we have so many trees cut down in places with beautiful mountains and clear waters? The biggest problem caused by the reduction of trees and plants is soil erosion. The trees are gone, but the mountains are still there. If it is the rainy season in June, there will be heavy rain and mud will fall. You can't imagine how dangerous it is for people living near the mountains. It's like living near the gates of hell!"
After hearing Qiao Nan's long and reasonable speech, Shi Qing was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Even Shi Peng was silent for a long time, thinking about what Qiao Nan had just said.
As a government official, Shi Peng knew that the country had been discussing the water source issue many years ago, and even came up with a project called South-to-North Water Diversion.
It can be said that this huge project took decades of careful research from the initial proposal to the step-by-step in-depth discussion and implementation.
Relatively speaking, the country has spent so much effort, labor and even money to transfer water from the south to the north. For places with sufficient water resources, there is still such a problem of cutting off water sources. It is indeed a bit bad.
Water is the source of life. If he really wants to protect the environment from pollution, the construction of water sources is actually a very large project and engineering. He overlooked this point.
Thanks to Qiao Nan for mentioning it today. Otherwise, if he really realized it, as Qiao Nan said, it would be when the problem occurred. By then, it would be too late.
From the beginning, his goal was to nip all the hidden dangers of environmental pollution brought about by economic development in the bud.
What shocked Shi Peng the most was Qiao Nan's words about the rainy season.
Even though Pingcheng has not had a mudslide yet, there were accidental casualties caused by large and small rock slides during the rainy season this year.
It's just that the number of casualties was small, and most of them were injuries, with almost no deaths, and the frequency of occurrence was not that high. The final measure of the government and local departments was at most to put up warning signs in prone areas after a discussion.
If a large-scale natural disaster such as a mudslide really occurs, a small warning sign will not be of any use.
What Qiao Nan said was all very important, and there were many questions that Shi Peng needed to think about, so he fell silent and kept thinking about the questions Qiao Nan raised.
As for Shi Qing, she didn't quite understand.
Of course, she understood the literal meaning of these words, and she also understood the general deep meaning.
But is such a big problem really that easy to solve?
"Hey, what happened?" When Qiao Dongliang returned home, he saw three people at home, sitting in a circle around the table. No one spoke, and the house was as quiet as a library: "What are you doing..." Discussing a problem? There should be sound when discussing a problem.
Reading a book?
No one has a book in their hands.
So they were just sitting in a daze together?
Nan Nan complained that she didn't have enough time to read, so how could she do such a boring thing? Shi Qing was not that kind of person. As for Director Shi, he was a busy man who worked hard all day for the reform, opening up and development of Pingcheng and had no time to rest. This
kind of group was sitting in a daze together, and Qiao Dongliang felt disillusioned no matter how he thought about it.
"Dad, you're back, it's so late!!" Qiao Nan looked up and saw, damn, it's 6:30 in the afternoon! !
"I haven't cooked yet."
"No problem, let's do it together, hurry up." Seeing that Shi Peng was still thinking, Qiao Dongliang didn't dare to disturb Shi Peng. People like him, whether in the army or in the government, are backbone figures who lead the trend, and they are different from ordinary people like them.
They worry about daily necessities, but others worry about national affairs and people's livelihood.
"Okay." Qiao Nan stood up and glanced at Shi Peng.
Thanks to the more dry goods she just threw out, Director Shi's attention is no longer on her personal problems, otherwise, there will be troubles in the future.
"I'll help too!" Shi Qing couldn't help much in the first place. She only understood about 50% of what Qiao Nan said at most. Understanding doesn't mean she can participate and come up with solutions, not to mention that Shi Qing hasn't fully understood it yet.
After entering the kitchen, Shi Qing quietly asked Qiao Nan: "Do you have any way to solve the problems you just mentioned?"
"No."
Hearing this answer, Shi Qing was disappointed.
If so many problems really arise, given her father's personality, he will start to work hard again, day and night, until the problems are solved and the people of Pingcheng can live and work in peace.
Qiao Nan curled his lips: "But I know there is a way to avoid such a serious situation and let your father have less work to do."
Shi Qing's eyes suddenly lit up: "I know you have a way! Tell me quickly."
