Seeing that Liu Chenglong's face was becoming increasingly ugly, Hong Sanjin's heart began to sink, especially as he could feel a strong murderous aura from Liu Chenglong's body. This murderous aura was like cold frost, making him shiver all over. Hong Sanjin was a very agile person, and he knew that he could never offend Liu Chenglong, who had reached this position at a young age. Therefore, his eyes rolled and he gritted his teeth and said, "Mayor Liu, why not do this? Use my private car. Although the car is a bit broken, it can still make do."
Although Liu Chenglong's anger was strong, he did not plan to erupt immediately. He was very clear that he had just arrived at Guanshan Town, and everything had to start from scratch. In order to stand firm, he had to step by step, from point to surface. Especially with Hong Sanjin's words, Liu Chenglong eased his anger a bit. He nodded lightly and said, "Okay, that's all for Director Hong's hard work. You go prepare the car and also prepare a big horn, and gather downstairs in 15 minutes." After that, Liu Chenglong once again focused his gaze on the map on the table, thinking. Hong Sanjin wisely left immediately.
However, although Liu Chenglong temporarily calmed his anger, he had already recorded this matter in his heart. If given the opportunity, he would definitely bring this round back, because Liu Chenglong had never given in to anyone before.
After 15 minutes, Liu Chenglong and Hong Sanjin met and got into Hong Sanjin's private car. Hong Sanjin asked, "Mayor Liu, where are we going?"
Without hesitation, Liu Chenglong said, "Go to Malan Village, which is relatively close to Guanshan Reservoir."
The car sped in the rain, flashing with lightning and thunder, heading towards Malan Village and stopping in front of the village chief Tian Laoshuan's house.
After getting off the car, the two of them pushed open the door of the village head's house and walked in.
At this moment, the village chief Tian Laoshuan, who is in his fifties and has a wrinkled face, is sitting in the main hall playing mahjong with a few people.
I was taken aback when I saw Liu Chenglong and the others walking in. Immediately, Tian Laoshuan saw Hong Sanjin, the director of the government office, and stood up with a smile on his face, saying, "Oh my, isn't this Director Hong? Why did he come to my house on a rainy day? What instructions do you have?"
During his speech, although Tian Laoshuan had a smile on his face, his tone showed no respect for Hong Sanjin.
The other few people playing mahjong and the onlookers also burst into laughter.
Hong Sanjin knew that he didn't have much prestige in the eyes of village chiefs such as Tian Laoshuan, so he could only look at Tian Laoshuan with a serious expression and said, "Old Tian, this is the newly appointed mayor of Liuzhen in Guanshan Town. Previously, I informed all your villages to do the evacuation and resettlement work, as well as the reinforcement and protection of the Guanshan Reservoir dam, which Liuzhen mayor personally instructed me to do. How are you preparing for your work now?" Hong Sanjin and Tian Laoshuan spoke in a completely businesslike tone.
After listening to Liu Chenglong, Tian Laoshuan only gave him a faint glance and found that Liu Chenglong was just a young boy in his early twenties. When he looked at Liu Chenglong, a faint smile appeared on his face, but there was a strong disdain hidden deep in his eyes. Old Tian Tou had been a village chief for many years and had seen many things. In his opinion, officials like Liu Chenglong were mostly gilded by the second generation of officials or the second generation of wealthy people who were quickly transferred and had no ability to speak of. However, Old Tian Tou was very clear that such people must not be offended, so he smiled and extended his hand to Liu Chenglong. He said, "Oh, it's Mayor Liu. I didn't expect you to be so young. It's been raining heavily. I wonder if you have any instructions for coming in the rain yourself?"
Liu Chenglong can only smile bitterly when he sees that Tian Laoshuan is still acting confused in front of himself until now. He is very clear that farmers have the wisdom of farmers. Tian Laoshuan has lived for so many years and is definitely an old fox. He holds Tian Laoshuan's hand, shakes his voice vigorously, and says anxiously: "Village head, to be honest, I'm here to advise you to organize villagers to evacuate at any time to raise people to strengthen Guanshan Reservoir Dam. I've got a message that Guanshan Town is likely to have successive rainstorm weather in recent days, and the situation is very critical. I hope you can cooperate with my work."
Liu Chenglong didn't beat around the bush with Tian Laoshuan and went straight to the topic.
It's time to see Zhenzhang!
After hearing Liu Chenglong finish speaking, Tian Laoshuan's face immediately darkened, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Tian Laoshuan.
After a moment of silence, Tian Laoshuan suddenly looked up and said to Liu Chenglong, "Mayor Liu, it's not that I don't support your work, but that I dare not support your work."
Liu Chenglong was taken aback and said, "Why?"
Tian Laoshuan said in a deep voice, "Mayor Liu, you may not know that the villagers of Malan Village were pitted by the leaders of the town a few years ago. A few years ago, the town organized our villagers to plant greenhouse mushrooms, saying that as long as we plant them, we can earn a lot of money, and the town said that there was a special trading company coming to us to purchase. The town can provide guarantee. We thought the words of the town leaders were credible at that time, so each family raised money to build a few mushroom greenhouses. A year later, the mushroom Dafengshou (Salad of assorted fresh vegetables) was coming, but the mushroom harvesting company mentioned by the town never came. The so-called guarantees in the town were also abandoned, and we suffered heavy losses. Later, the town organized us to plant apple trees, and even said that the town was responsible for sales, ensuring that there were no problems. This time, many people in our village were unwilling to plant them. As a result, the town said that if fruit trees were not planted, various agricultural subsidies would not be issued in the future. Helpless, we could only plant fruit trees. As a result, during the apple harvest season in recent years, the mountains and fields were covered with red and sweet apples, which were crispy and sweet. However, due to transportation difficulties, they could not be transported out and could only rot on the trees. In the fields, Mayor Liu, you said that such incidents have occurred one after another. To the town leaders, Can we still believe it? And you said you want me to organize villagers to prepare for evacuation, do you think it's possible to organize evacuation? And the weather forecast says tomorrow is just y ī N days. At most, there are heavy rain or rainstorm in some areas today, so there is no danger in the reservoir. So Mayor Liu, please forgive me for being blunt, I cannot accept your instructions
After listening to Tian Laoshuan's words, Liu Chenglong's heart was filled with confusion. He never expected that such a thing would happen again in the town. His gaze, with a hint of questioning, looked at Hong Sanjin next to him. Hong Sanjin smiled awkwardly and nodded, proving that what Tian Laoshuan said was true.
After a moment of silence, Liu Chenglong nodded and said, "Alright, Village Chief Tian, since you have so many difficulties, I understand them and don't force them. But I hope you can borrow the big horn from my village to use it. I hope to remind the villagers in advance and prepare them psychologically. Do you think it's okay?"

Liu Chenglong's words were very sincere, and Tian Laoshuan naturally couldn't argue against Liu Chenglong's face anymore. He nodded and took Liu Chenglong inside the house. He turned on the small radio and asked Liu Chenglong to sit next to him, indicating that Liu Chenglong could speak now.
Liu Chenglong took the microphone, pondered a little, and then began to talk. He talked about the meteorological information about Guanshan Town that he had received, about the pressure Guanshan Reservoir might bear once the heavy rainstorm continued, about the flood situation and crisis that the village might suffer if the dam of Guanshan Reservoir broke. Finally, Liu Chenglong also told the villagers that now the deputy secretary of the town party committee, Qin Ruijie, has taken people to set up tents near Tianwang Ridge in the east of the town, and suggested that the villagers who want to transfer can go to join relatives and friends, or go to Tianwang Ridge to settle down. After speaking, Liu Chenglong stood up to look at Tian Laoshuan and said, "Tian Village Chief, I know that my new mayor doesn't have much prestige in the eyes of your village branches and chiefs when he takes office, but I want to tell you that every word I say is true. I sincerely hope that the villagers won't be harmed in the face of such a big disaster as floods. I will go to other villages for publicity later, and after the publicity is over, I will continue to be stationed on the dam. I hope that you, Tian Village Chief, can carefully consider my opinions. Goodbye." After that, Liu Chenglong stood up and walked out.
Dou sized raindrops pattered on Liu Chenglong's head and body, but he didn't dodge at all and walked straight towards the car. Hong Sanjin followed closely behind Liu Chenglong, holding an umbrella.
Watching Liu Chenglong's departure, Tian Laoshuan fell into contemplation and said, "Does this new mayor really want to do something for us common people?"
At this moment, Liu Chenglong, who was getting on the car, was not very angry. Although Tian Laoshuan's tone was not very friendly, Liu Chenglong understood him very well because he understood that although Tian Laoshuan was a bit disrespectful to him, his attitude was also responsible to the villagers. As a leader, he must have this kind of tolerance.
After getting on the car, Hong Sanjin immediately said to Liu Chenglong, "Mayor Liu, don't be angry. These village chiefs and village branch secretaries are all thieves, and it's not beneficial to persuade them. Why don't we go back first?"
Liu Chenglong shook his head and said, "It's normal for us to encounter some difficulties in our work. Let's continue to move on to the next village and go to the neighboring Menger Village. We will continue to work as village leaders and villagers, at least letting the villagers know that there are tents set up on the Tianwang Ridge side. In case of a crisis, the villagers will not be at a loss and have a psychological preparation and expectation."
Hong Sanjin felt very depressed in his heart, and the feeling of being caught as a strong soldier was very unpleasant. However, he could only grit his teeth and go to battle. Who would make him Zhenzh è ng F ǔ The director of the office.
Next, Hong Sanjin led Liu Chenglong to tour all 25 administrative villages one by one. After the tour, it was already past 4 pm and they didn't even have lunch. Liu Chenglong's voice was already hoarse. After the last village was completed, Hong Sanjin looked at Liu Chenglong and said, "Mayor Liu, should we go back?"
Liu Chenglong waved his hand and said, "I can't go back. Since no village is willing to respond to my call now, I'll go barebacked. If they don't come, I'll be responsible for reinforcing the dam alone. I'll do my best to make the most of it."
Subsequently, Liu Chenglong took Hong Sanjin and himself to the town to buy shovels, pickaxes, burlap bags, raincoats and other supplies, and had Hong Sanjin drive straight to the Guanshan Reservoir Dam.
After arriving at the dam, Liu Chenglong and Hong Sanjin inspected it for a while. Liu Chenglong found a section of the river where the dam appeared to be relatively fragile, and began to drive piles and move sand and soil.
The heavy rain kept pouring down, and the raincoat couldn't stop the pouring rain. Both Liu Chenglong and Hong Sanjin's bodies were soaked. Later, Hong Sanjin's body couldn't bear it. Liu Chenglong asked him to return to the car to rest, while he continued to struggle on the dam.
The night gradually darkened, and Liu Chenglong's body gradually became hazy. Sweat and rain mixed on Liu Chenglong's face, making it indistinguishable. Liu Chenglong's hands and feet had already turned slightly white from the rain, but he still persisted.
The river water on the dam has been continuously rising.
At this moment, in Malan Village, the nearest to the dam, the village head Tian Laoshuan found that the heavy rainstorm had been raining all day, and there was no sign of stopping. He could not sit still. He immediately said hello to his family, and called his son Tian Xiaoshuan and several young people in the village to go to the dam together.
Tian Laoshuan was very familiar with the situation of the dam, and without any effort, he found the fragile section of the dam that Liu Chenglong was reinforcing. When he saw that many tree stumps and burlap bags had been piled up on this section of the dam, he was stunned.
At this moment, Tian Xiaoshuan suddenly shouted, "Dad, the water level has been rising all the time. It's a distance of j." ǐ The water level of NG ring is already less than 1 meter away. The water level of Guanshan River has grown more than one meter before the rain. The situation is a bit dangerous. "
Tian Laoshuan had already noticed this situation, and at this moment, he began to recall what Liu Chenglong had said, frowning tightly. So far, he has not seen the shadow of Liu Chenglong. In his opinion, Liu Chenglong's statement that he would personally station on the dam was probably just empty talk.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps mixed with the clattering sound of soles walking in the muddy water from afar, and thick gasps gradually became audible. Tian Xiaoshuan's flashlight shone towards the direction of the sound.
Under the light, Liu Chenglong struggled over with a large sack of broken sand and stones on his shoulder.
Tian Laoshuan's gaze also followed the light, and everyone suddenly froze. They never expected that Liu Chenglong would actually keep his promise. Looking at the wooden stakes and dozens of burlap bags piled up under the dam to reinforce the embankment, everyone was shocked.
Tian Laoshuan's gaze showed a hint of disbelief. He didn't expect that the newly appointed mayor would have no airs and be working in obscurity.
At this moment, Liu Chenglong also saw Tian Laoshuan and others, but he did not speak. Instead, he silently placed the burlap bag and picked up another empty burlap bag, walking towards the direction of filling sand and stones on the other side of the dam.
At this moment, the rain is falling even more urgently, and Liu Chenglong's body will slip after taking a few steps. Under the dam, the river water is also rising wildly, and a crisis could happen at any time. However, for this situation, Liu Chenglong seemed to have not seen it at all, still busy silently。
