Lu Yiwei took the time to meet with four or five bureau chiefs. Considering that he had a meeting in the afternoon, he ended the meeting at ten o 'clock and prepared to leave for Nanzhou City.
When he went out, he saw Xu Changyuan standing at the door. He composed himself and said, "Oh, I still have a meeting in the city. I'll go back first."
Xu Changyuan was full of anticipation as he waited for the meeting. Because there were too many people in front of him, and they were all chiefs, he could only wait obediently at the back. After waiting for more than an hour and not seeing him, he was more or less disappointed. However, opportunities were always given to those who were prepared. When he saw Lu Yiwei carrying a bag in his hand, he immediately took it and planned to send it downstairs.
Lu Yiwei did not object to Xu Changyuan's initiative. He had a good impression of this person. As a newcomer to Long 'an, he needed to cultivate his own people as soon as possible. The reason why he was chosen was firstly because he was young, and secondly because he was a deputy. Both were indispensable. Youth was a capital, and he was energetic. He was not cunning or scheming. He was around the same age and was relatively flexible in commanding. Moreover, there was room for improvement in a deputy position. Even if he was given a pie in the sky, he would still be full of energy and positive.
In addition, this person's eyes were clear without too much filth. He was quick-witted, articulate, observant, and decent. Overall, he looked relatively comfortable and gave people the feeling that he was relatively upright and righteous. It did not take too much time to judge a person. One glance was enough to determine the situation. This was the essence he had learned from following different leaders for many years.
Xu Changyuan and Lu Yiwei went downstairs. His colleagues who knew him cast strange glances at him, but he did not care. He opened the car door and sent them to the car, saying goodbye with a smile. Before leaving, Lu Yiwei rolled down the window and said, "Changyuan, my friend is coming to Long 'an today. Contact Hu Peng and be in charge of the reception."
Hearing that the first task was a private matter, he was extremely excited and nodded. "Please rest assured, Secretary Lu. I will definitely take good care of him."
Lu Yiwei gave him a look and drove out of the County party committee's compound.
Perhaps it was because of the good weather these two days, or because the ecological environment of Chang'an was well protected, but despite it being the middle of winter, the mountains on both sides of the road were filled with verdant greenery. The scenery was pleasant and refreshing. He couldn't help but roll down the window and greedily breathe in the cold and fresh air. This was something he definitely couldn't enjoy in the big city.
The scenery was enchanting, but the road leading to the outside world was indeed a little shabby. The county town was relatively flat, but once they left the county town, it was full of bumps and potholes.
Lu Yiwei gestured for Nan Chao to stop the car. He got off the car and stood by the side of the road, looking around with rapt attention. "Why is this road so shabby?"
Nan Chao said, "There are too many coal trucks that travel every day, and they're all overloaded. It's dusty in the spring, and it's fine in the summer, but in the winter, in order to prevent the brakes from wearing out, the drivers pour water on the tires. When the water hits the road, it freezes very quickly, and it's very easy to cause the road to crack. This road had been repaired countless times. The first year it was repaired, the second year it was damaged. Especially at the corners, there are huge pits everywhere. "
Lu Yiwei squatted on the ground as he listened. He picked up a piece of asphalt that was separated from the road and looked at it. Then he used a stone to poke at the damaged road. Although he didn't know much about engineering, he at least knew some common sense. This road was obviously shoddy. The water stabilizing layer was not up to standard, and the asphalt surface was too thin. It was simply a rubbish project, and it would be strange if it didn't get damaged.
Lu Yiwei got up and clapped his hands. "Is this the only road leading to the outside world?"
"There are two other roads. One leads to Tiger County in the neighboring province, and the other leads to Xi City. They're both county roads, and they're also badly damaged and have not been repaired for years. Only this road is a provincial road, and it's connected to National Highway 508, which leads to all parts of the country. Actually, if it's just the coal trucks in our county, it shouldn't be this bad. The key is that there are many vehicles passing through the road in other areas, accounting for more than 80% of the road. We can't just stop them from passing through. After all, it's a provincial road.
"In addition, the quality of these drivers is low. Not only do they overload and damage the road, they also drive very fast. I know that there have been more than a hundred traffic accidents this year, and many people have died. If we don't fix it, the traffic accidents will only increase, not decrease. "
Nan Chao was thinking from the perspective of ordinary people, but things were far from as simple as he thought. He asked again, "Is this road the only way to the other provinces?"
"No, there are several of them. There's also a provincial road in the neighboring county, and they've set up roadblocks at the entrance of the county boundary to prevent coal trucks from passing through. That's why they've all rushed here. In addition, there's also a highway out of the province, and they've all taken the provincial road to save money. "
"Oh."
This matter was related to the vital interests of the people, and this matter had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. If one wanted to be rich, one had to build roads first. Even if one didn't consider traffic safety, one had to open up a connection with the outside world. However, building roads was not that simple. It involved many departments of development and reform, planning, and transportation. Not a single link could be missed. In addition, manpower, material, and financial resources were needed to keep up, and it was not an easy task. There was no need to consider anything else. Building the road was his greatest political achievement.
Lu Yiwei got into the car with a heavy heart. He saw a school at the corner in front. The school gate was close to the road, and it was less than five meters away. Moreover, there were students walking along the road in groups of twos and threes. A coal truck was speeding over, and it had no intention of slowing down at all. It swept past and raised dust all over the sky, causing his car to shake left and right. When he saw a student hiding in a ditch in fear, he broke out in cold sweat.
"What school is this?"
Nan Chao said, "This is Jinmen Town Primary School."
"Turn in!"
The school gate was wide open, and the car easily drove in. At that moment, the second class had just ended, and the students were playing in the yard. When they saw the car coming in, they all stopped in their tracks to watch.
Lu Yiwei got out of the car and looked around. At that moment, a man wearing glasses walked over in confusion and said fiercely, "Which unit are you from? Didn't you see that vehicles from other units are prohibited from entering?"
Nan Chao wanted to argue with him, but Lu Yiwei stopped him and said with a smile, "Are you in charge of the school?"
The man sized him up and said, "Who are you?"
Lu Yiwei deliberately concealed his identity and said, "I'm just passing by and came in to take a look. Is your principal not around?"
"He's here. Do you think you can see the principal as you please? Tell me if you have anything to say."
Lu Yiwei was not angry at the other party's rude words. He looked at him and said, "What's your position?"
"I'm the dean."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei pointed and said, "The school gate is next to the road, and there are many safety hazards. At the very least, there should be warning signs to signal passing vehicles to slow down. In addition, the school's safety education and supervision should be strengthened. At the very least, the gate should not be opened during classes, and students should not be allowed to enter and leave at will. If an accident happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
