Chapter Seventy-Five: There is no other way for scholars to serve the country

Li Yi said: "It's not strange that there are many people, you still want the scene that should be." Now I'm going to talk about a report that I've brought with me. Research Report on the Sustainable Development of Water Conservancy in Southern Province for Scientific Development and Construction of Modern Water Conservancy. ”

The title of this report is the final draft of Li Yi after repeated deliberations.

According to his original idea, the title was "Investigation Report on Hidden Water Conservancy Hazards in Southern Province", and the purpose was to make alarmist statements, truthfully describe the current situation of water conservancy, and arouse the attention of the state's high-level officials. However, in this way, it is bound to offend many people, and the ultimate goal of political struggle is to achieve the goal of development and construction, not to blindly offend people and rectify people. Of course, the necessary means are indispensable, but it is also not necessary to kill a group of people with a stick.

Li Yi believes that as long as the cities and counties in the southern province see the benefits of building water conservancy, they will not be tempted by it, and they will not be tempted to build it!

Gu Heng was slightly surprised when he heard Li Yi say this topic, and at the same time nodded with satisfaction. He sighed in his heart, unconsciously, this young man was already gradually maturing!

Sometimes, the necessary compromises and concessions can lead to greater success.

Li Yi's magnetic male voice echoed in the first conference room of the State Council: "In the new historical period, how can water conservancy adhere to the scientific concept of development and play a supporting and guaranteeing role in economic and social development?" Recently, with this problem in mind, our Southern Provincial Water Supervision Office has investigated the grassroots level, and has successively gone to more than 10 counties (cities, districts) to hold discussions with grassroots cadres, grassroots water conservancy workers, and the peasant masses, and listened to their suggestions on water conservancy development. Through the research, I was very educated and inspired, and I had a deeper understanding and thinking about solving the problems of water conservancy development and accelerating the development of water conservancy. ”

"However, according to the survey, there is still a considerable gap between the current situation of water conservancy development and these expectations and requirements. First, the problem of flood prevention and disaster reduction is prominent, which cannot meet the needs of the people's survival and development; Second, the problem of water resources is prominent, which cannot meet the needs of sustainable economic and social development; Third, the problem of people's livelihood and water conservancy is prominent, which cannot meet the needs of the people's water security and food security; Fourth, the system and mechanism of water conservancy investment are not in order, and cannot meet the needs of accelerating the development of water conservancy. ”

"According to the current situation in our province, the basic idea of solving the current outstanding problems is: we must adhere to the scientific concept of development as the guide, to serve the construction of the "two-type society", to achieve the prosperity of the people and the province, the establishment of a modern water conservancy system of human and water coordination as the goal, innovative system and mechanism, change the growth mode, innovative development model, to realize the transformation of engineering water conservancy to resource water conservancy, traditional water conservancy to modern water conservancy, sustainable development of water conservancy. ”

"To effectively solve the water conservancy problems that the people are most concerned about, realize the sustainable development of water conservancy, and ensure the economy, people's livelihood and growth, I feel that we must grasp six key points."

Next, Li Yi closely focused on the six key points, analyzed and explained them one by one, and put forward solutions accordingly.

The focus of water conservancy work is, first, the comprehensive management of the lake area, second, the construction of the flood control system in the river basin, third, the construction of water conservancy for people's livelihood, fourth, the overall management of water resources in urban and rural areas, fifth, the emergency management of water conservancy public events, and the sixth is the protection of the water ecology.

Li Yi put forward six key problems, and then put forward corresponding solutions to these six problems.

"The purpose of our investigation is not to find the ballast, let alone to find the trouble of the grassroots cadres, we have found problems, the purpose is to improve these problems, and solving problems is the focus and purpose of our work!"

Li Yi pointed out in the report that water conservancy work should be based on the present, focus on the long-term, and strive to build "six systems": First, the flood control and security system in the lake area and river basin. The second is the rural safe drinking water guarantee system. The third is the irrigation system for farmland for food security, and the fourth is the water resources and water environment guarantee system for the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. Fifth, the integrity and health of the water conservancy construction market management system. Sixth, a clean and efficient social management and public service system for water-related affairs. Build a water conservancy construction and management team that administers according to law, has a strong work style, has excellent jishu, and overcomes difficulties.

Li Yi's report is well-reasoned and well-founded, well-written, well-organized, and well-layered, so that when people listen to it, they feel that this is a good article that has been investigated and investigated, and it is not an official document that is conjured up out of thin air, and it does not have the morbid groans and empty boasting of popular organ articles.

Li Yi was familiar with all the data, and talked eloquently, and a long report lasted for nearly an hour, without even the slightest pause in between. When he was in a trance, his lips were chapped and he stuck out his tongue and licked it, forgetting to drink the water on the table. When it comes to emotion, sometimes sad and angry, sometimes passionate, stunned to say a boring research report, fascinating.

Outside the conference room, the staff of the General Office of the State Council were looking at their watches and discussing in a whisper.

The prime minister has every opportunity to preside over an important national agricultural work conference later, but the time is almost up, and the prime minister has not yet come out. total

Li has always been punctual, and the time of each meeting is well controlled, and there is no difference of five minutes between left and right. But today, half an hour has passed!

This is the first time in the world!

In the huge conference room of the State Council, Li Yi's subdued male voice echoed, and everyone was attracted by Li Yi's report, listening attentively and thinking with their hearts.

The girl in the corner, while recording quickly, kept glancing at Li Yi with her eyes.

This man named Li Yi is destined to leave special memories in her colorful life from the moment.

"Through the above measures, I believe that we can truly provide the people with a beautiful production environment and living environment, and provide sustainable water conservancy project support for the country's economic construction!"

"There is no other way for scholars to serve the country, only the pen in their hands is like a knife! That's it for me, xiexie guys. ”

Li Yi bowed again.

There was a brief silence.

Li Yi was a little apprehensive in his heart, how well his report was done, he had no bottom in his heart, after all, the formulation of national policies should be combined with various factors, comprehensive consideration, and accusations from a macro perspective. This is the first time he has proposed such a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and he is facing one of the country's top leaders! How did it end? Can you get his approval? Li Yi didn't have any bottom in his heart.

The prime minister lowered his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head slightly, and seemed to be deep in thought.

The counselors did not speak, thinking about Li Yi's report.

After a long time, the premier said: "Comrade Li Yi, do you personally think that on a national scale, the situation like the one in your report is an ordinary situation or an isolated situation? ”

Li Yi said: "The Yangtze River basin is indiscriminately deforested, the middle and lower reaches of the lake to make land, indiscriminately occupy the river, causing serious soil erosion, there are 400 million people living on both sides of the Yangtze River, in the mid-50s, the forest coverage rate in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was 22%, these years, due to the continuous agricultural land reclamation, construction and urbanization, so that 80% of the forest on both sides of the river has been cut down. According to reliable data, only 12 of the 193 counties in western Sichuan Province have a forest cover area of more than 30%, and some counties have less than 3% of the forest area. ”

While everyone is still digesting these data, Li Yi continued: "Soil erosion occurs in 20% of the 1.8 million square kilometers of land in the Yangtze River basin, 2.4 billion tons of topsoil are lost every year, and more than 500 million tons of soil and sand carried from the upstream flow down the Yangtze River into the East China Sea every year. Due to the accumulation of soil and sand year after year, the riverbed of the Yangtze River has been raised above the ground since many years ago, becoming another 'hanging river' after the Yellow River. The 'clear water' of the Yangtze River has long been gone, and its turbid yellow degree is comparable to that of the Yellow River. On the other hand, the lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River with flood storage functions are shrinking rapidly, and all these signs show that China's water conservancy safety prevention work has burned the eyebrows, and it must be done! If there is a flood that is not seen in a century, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Li Yi said: "I'm not alarmist, in the ninth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, there was a catastrophic flood in the Yangtze River basin, and another catastrophic flood occurred in 1931!" In 1954, there was also a catastrophic flood! As you can see from the time, the time interval between the occurrence of floods is getting shorter and shorter! Who can predict when the next Dahong summit will come? Maybe next year, maybe the year after! How much time do we have left to prepare? ”

The Prime Minister was once again lost in thought, his brows tightly knit together, his eyes shining with wisdom.

Perhaps, this historic moment will be changed because of Li Yi's report and the premier's wise decision!

"Comrade Li Yi's report is like Huang Zhong Dalu, deafening!" The prime minister said in a deep voice: "This is a good report, which is in line with the current development direction of economic construction and is to escort socialist economic construction!" If we want to develop the economy, infrastructure construction must not be neglected! This is the foundation of the founding of the people! China is a big agricultural country, and this cannot be denied for a long time to come! We cannot do without this basic point in developing the economy. I will forward Comrade Li Yi's report to all members of the State Council and to the provincial party committees, so that everyone can earnestly study, discuss together, and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible! ”

The venue burst into applause!

Li Yi's nervous mood relaxed, and his report was approved by the prime minister, which means that his efforts have not been in vain, and it has also strengthened his determination to go down the road of officialdom.

Perhaps, the future is unpredictable, perhaps, the road is crooked, but Li Yi's pure heart will never change!

Once you live again, you must have the excitement of living again! You have to take on the responsibility of reliving!
