Chapter 161 Water Supply
Although Mining and Ningxia have cooperated, the problem of the pumping station has not been resolved.Although the water pumping station in Qingtongxia can also provide water from the Yellow River to Jintan Village, but because of the establishment of Minning Village, Minning Village has been separated from the jurisdiction of Qingtongxia, and the staff of the water pumping station are unwilling to continue to supply water.

Although Jintan Village has its own motorized well, several wells have been drilled in succession over the years, but it is simply a drop in the bucket.Under the sunlight, the water on the Gobi Desert evaporates quickly, and the water from the motor-driven well cannot be directly used to irrigate the ground. It can only be used to irrigate a bowl of water for one seedling. However, this kind of work efficiency is too low to help alleviate the drought at all.

The people in the village felt very painful when they saw the dry land and the wheat seedlings that were about to dry up.

Although Li Dayou had his son Shuiwang who opened a shop in the city, the money earned from the crops in the field was nothing, but as a farmer, he couldn't see that these wheat seedlings would be dried to death like this.

"If it doesn't rain this day, the wheat seedlings in the field will die. Yongfu, have you watered your wheat seedlings yet?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Li Dayou pulling the water cart, shook his head, and said, "No, there is plenty of water in the well, and everyone takes turns, so there is no way to irrigate it completely."

Ma Defu also came to the field on a bicycle at this time, and asked curiously: "Uncle Da You, whose house did the water go to?"

"No one came. It was agreed to release the water today, but now I haven't seen a drop of water."

"Water didn't come?"

"Why didn't you come? If you come, you won't be in a hurry."

Uncle Wu Quao also said: "It's true that he didn't come. Last night, it was agreed that the water would come from the Chengguan pumping station. Many people were waiting in the middle of the night, but they didn't see a drop of water."

"Yang San couldn't wait any longer, so he took a few people to the pumping station to have a look. They will know the situation when they come back."

Li Dayou held up the dead wheat seedlings in his hands with a pale face and said, "I'm in a hurry, look at the wheat, if you water it again, it will all die, or there will be no harvest."

"Defu, you have to find a way for us, otherwise how can you, a cadre, explain to the folks?"

A few people were talking, when they heard a person running over shouting from a distance: "It's not good, it's not good, Yang San... Yang San got into a fight with someone at the water pumping station, and now he was detained by the water pumping station and didn't say anything." They don’t control our land if they don’t give us water.”

After hearing this, Ma Defu knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly rode to see what was going on.

Li Dayou felt that things might turn around, so he also went to the pumping station to see the situation.

Zhao Shucheng didn't follow to watch the fun, but took Li Shuihua home directly.

Li Shuihua asked curiously: "Why don't you go to the water pumping station, but go home with your forehead?"

"There shouldn't be any major problems if you have a good horse. The most important thing for our village and even Yuquanying now is the problem of the water pumping station. If we don't have our own water pumping station, we can't solve anything."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Li Shuihua with a serious face, and said: "Our water pumping station is said to be under construction, but the construction has been stopped for more than six years, and there is no progress at all. In the past, our population was small, and we only needed to use motorized wells to solve the irrigation problem. And drinking water. Now the population is four to five thousand people, and the land alone requires tens of thousands of acres. We certainly can’t rely on the water in the well to irrigate the farmland, we must have our own water pumping station.”

"But now there is not much money in the yamen, not to mention that most of them are used for poverty alleviation and various constructions. When the superior builds a water pumping station, it may not be until sometime."

When Li Shuihua heard what Zhao Shucheng said, he knew that he must have his own thoughts, so he asked, "Yongfu, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Shuihua, I think so. Our water pumping station will be built sooner or later, and it will cost less money to build it earlier. Although it is said that the water pumping station belongs to the work of the yamen, they have no money to build it now. I wonder if our family has a fortune." Money, that is, the money we earned from stock trading in Shanghai, can we use this money for the construction of water pumping stations?"

"Then our family will spend this money for nothing?" Li Shuihua suddenly felt distressed. This is not a few thousand yuan from the machine well, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars spent on the pumping station.

"Of course we didn't pay for the construction ourselves. What it means is that our family will contract out the construction of the pumping station, and our family will give the yamen money to build it. When the yamen has money, they will return it to us."

Although Zhao Shucheng didn't care that he paid for the construction of the pumping station, he didn't want to make people feel that he could just grab the wool at will. He would definitely sign a bidding contract with the Yamen, and he would still get the money back in the future.If the funds directly say that they have invested in the construction, they may pull themselves to invest when there are any projects in the Yamen in the future. At that time, they will not be able to keep as much wealth as possible. If they refuse, it may make people think that they look down on him. Finally, make things difficult for your own business.

After Li Shuihua heard Zhao Shucheng's words, she thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this. Besides, she also felt that doing this was a matter of doing good deeds, so she agreed.

In the afternoon, the problem with the water pumping station finally came to a conclusion. They promised to release the water the next day, but Jintan Village had to pay to buy water according to the standard outside Qingtongxia.

Fortunately, people in the village have earned a lot of money by working with Zhao Shucheng over the years. Although the water money of 80 yuan per mu of land makes them a little embarrassed, they can still take out the money.

The next day, many people were waiting for the water from the Yellow River. When they first saw the water, the name of the village was so excited, but in the end they only saw the Yellow River water that looked like a child peeing, and there was no way to irrigate the land.

The people in the village became even more angry when they knew this situation, and went directly to the water pumping station, and they must let the water pumping station release the water.

Ma Defu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, because after it really froze, the pumping station would definitely stop supplying water to Jintan Village.However, knowing that the lack of water supply today is because the leaders of Chengguan held an on-site meeting today. In order to let the leaders see the work results of the water pumping station, most of the water was directly distributed to Chengguan District.

Seeing how angry the villagers were, he had no choice but to go to the on-site meeting in Chengguan District, and to the mayor and secretary on the opposite side to file a complaint, hoping to solve the water supply problem.

After understanding the situation in Chengguan District, they asked the pumping station to supply water today in order to avoid bigger problems.

The secretary said: "I solved the irrigation problem for you this time, but I can't guarantee it next time. If you want to completely solve the problem, you still need to find your superiors to find a fundamental solution."

Ma Defu was talked about just now, so he could only apologize and say: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry to disturb your meeting!"

After seeing Ma Defu and others come back, Ernst & Young Fu learned about the specific situation, and said: "What the secretary said makes sense, and we really need to solve the problem fundamentally."

"Let's not talk about other things, just the problem of buying water. It's not that we don't buy water, but the price of buying water from Qingtongxia is too high, twice as expensive as their Chengguan District, so it won't work in the long run."

"If we want to solve the irrigation problem, the first problem we need to solve is the problem of the water pumping station. Our water pumping station at Yuquanying is said to be under construction. It has been many years and there has been no progress at all."

"Defu, you can ask your leaders if this water pumping station can be contracted to an individual. If yes, you can pay for the construction by yourself. If not, you can also bid for the construction of the water pumping station. You must build the water pumping station this year It is built so that we cannot have no water to use. Not only do we need water for our crops, but our earthworms also need water.”

When Ma Defu heard that Zhao Shucheng wanted to pay for the construction of the pumping station, he was a little excited and said, "You said you paid for the construction of the pumping station?"

Other village names also became excited and asked, "Is it true?"

"If Yongfu builds a pumping station, we don't have to look at others."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhao Shucheng hurriedly said: "Everyone, be quiet. This is not built with the money of the people themselves, but with the advance funds of the yamen. It will definitely be managed by the yamen at that time. Let's talk about it first. After the water pumping station is built, If people want to provide us with water to irrigate the land, they also need to pump water from the Yellow River, which also requires electricity bills. What's more, they also need to arrange people to manage it, which costs money."

"At that time, the water pumping station will supply water. I will definitely like people who need to pay for it. You can't just think about using the Yellow River water and not paying for it. When the water pumping station shuts down, we will have to wait."

Li Dayou said excitedly: "Yongfu, don't worry, if it is our own pumping station in Yuquanying, we will definitely pay for it, anyway, it won't be much higher."

"That's right, we can afford this amount of money."

"Yes, we still have the money for watering the land, and we won't let Yongfu pay for it."

"Yongfu, when will you build the pumping station?"

"At this stage, we still need to discuss with the leaders of Yuquanying. After they agree, we will start to build the pumping station. At that time, I will need the help of the villagers. After all, I can't build the pumping station by myself. But don't worry, everyone. When building a water pumping station, paying wages and taking care of meals will definitely not let everyone suffer."

"Yong Fu, don't worry, everyone will go back even if they don't pay wages. The pumping station is not only your personal matter, but also a matter closely related to everyone."

Ma Huashui spoke directly, feeling that he could contribute.

"No, wages still have to be paid. Uh, the construction of the pumping station is considered to be work for the yamen. You must calculate all the expenses and reimburse the yamen at that time. If you don't want wages, just in case the yamen will hand over such a project next time Give it to me, I can't give money to work in the yamen, can I?"

Zhao Shucheng certainly could not agree to such an approach, because if wages were really not required, it would have been okay at the time, but after a while, there must be different opinions in the village.

I would rather say everything in advance than let them gossip.But as long as the water supply problem is solved, Zhao Shucheng will stop growing food by himself and start growing cash crops, so that he can earn more money and give the villagers another way out.
