Chapter 265 Investigation of the Transportation Bureau
"So, it seems that Governor Zhao highly values County Chief Li!"
Du Qiang said that going abroad is a very difficult thing these days, let alone studying abroad.
Li Dakang was sent to Japan to study after serving as deputy county head for two years, which shows that Governor Zhao thinks highly of Li Dakang.
"Yes, that's why I said at the meeting that I wanted to ask for money from above!"
In order to help Li Dakang, Governor Zhao will definitely allocate funds to Jinshan County.
The province allocated funds, and the city will also allocate some.
This way, the funds for road construction will be available.
But County Chief Li doesn't seem to think that way.
Qi Tongwei felt somewhat helpless. Li Dakang's domineering and non-sticky nature probably started when he was first sent down to the countryside as deputy county head.
"Since the county government hasn't reached a conclusion, County Chief Li will definitely go to Secretary Yi."
Secretary Yi has always supported County Chief Li, so County Chief Li's plan is very likely to be approved!
Du Qiang said.
Because Yi Xuexi supports Li Dakang, Li Dakang's proposal is very likely to be passed at the county party committee standing committee meeting.
When Qi Tongwei first arrived, there were no people at the Standing Committee who supported him.
"Don't worry, we'll argue our case!"
Qi Tongwei didn't care; if Li Dakang insisted on raising funds to build roads, he would resolutely oppose it.
If anything goes wrong, he won't be held responsible.
Moreover, Li Dakang won't be able to dodge it so easily.
He has to bear the main responsibility if something goes wrong.
"By the way, County Chief Du, could you tell me which roads in our county urgently need repair, and roughly how much it would cost?"
You're in charge of transportation, so you should be quite familiar with these things!
Qi Tongwei said.
It's too early to discuss Li Dakang's road construction plan now; understanding the situation first is the most important thing.
"Yes, County Chief Qi!"
First, there's the road connecting the county seat to the city, which is Jinshan County's only access to the outside world.
The reason why Jinshan County has not been able to develop in recent years is largely because the road is too bad, which prevents Jinshan's products from going out and also prevents outside products from coming in.
Many drivers who have been to Jinshan County once never want to come back.
To ensure smooth traffic flow on this road, it will cost around 1000 million.
Next is the road from the county seat to the surrounding towns.
To date, more than half of the 23 townships in Jinshan County still lack road access.
Even in towns where roads have been built, the road conditions are still very poor...
Repairing existing rural roads will cost around 400 million yuan, while repairing roads leading to rural areas without roads will cost around 1300 million yuan.
Finally, there are the roads in the county town; repairing these roads will cost around 500 million yuan.
According to County Chief Li's plan, repairing all the roads would cost around 3200 million yuan.
This is still calculated using the lowest standard.
If we calculate according to the standards, all existing roads except those in the county town will need to be redesigned and replanned.
That would increase the cost several times over.
Du Qiang briefly described the road conditions in Jinshan County.
"The road that needs the most repair right now is the road connecting the county town to the city. If Jinshan County wants to develop, it must open up its connections with the outside world and ensure smooth connections with the outside world."
Du Qiang continued.
No matter how convenient the internal transportation is, it's useless if there's no smooth connection to the outside world.
With smooth connections to the outside world, Jinshan County can develop and its tax revenue can increase.
With more money, the county can naturally build roads in towns and villages, as well as roads in the county seat.
"County Chief Du has a very insightful view of the issue; he immediately got to the heart of the matter."
Qi Tongwei praised him.
Du Qiang, as the deputy county head in charge of transportation, is quite competent.
"County Chief Qi, this is all within my duties, but as the deputy county chief in charge of transportation, I am not capable enough to change the current situation!"
Du Qiang said with a look of shame.
"County Chief Du, this isn't just your fault!"
Qi Tongwei comforted.
It's clear that Du Qiang still wants to do something, but he's powerless to do so.
The two chatted for a while longer before Du Qiang took his leave.
"Secretary Qi, Secretary Yi said that a Standing Committee meeting will be held in the county party committee conference room at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Shortly after Du Qiang left, Cheng Wenchang arrived.
"Okay, Director Cheng, I will attend on time!"
Qi Tongwei nodded.
Without a doubt, this Standing Committee meeting was convened at Li Dakang's request.
After that, Qi Tongwei took Ma Ningtao, deputy director of the government office, to the county town for research.
Qi Tongwei went straight to the Transportation Bureau, even though Du Qiang had explained the specific transportation situation in Jinshan County to him.
But Qi Tongwei still wanted to know more specific details.
Soon, Qi Tongwei and Ma Ningtao arrived at the Transportation Bureau.
Ma Ningtao instructed the gatekeeper to immediately notify the leaders of the Transportation Bureau that Deputy County Head Qi had come to inspect the work.
Afterwards, Ma Ningtao led Qi Tongwei to the office of the director of the Transportation Bureau and introduced the Transportation Bureau team to Qi Tongwei.
The director is Lou Xiaofeng, and the three deputy directors are Qi Fenglin, Lin Haiyang, and Hao Jianxin.
"County Chief Qi, welcome, welcome!"
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit the Transportation Bureau and provide guidance!
Lou Xiaofeng left in a hurry, but Qi Tongwei greeted him warmly.
"Director Lou, I'm sorry to disturb your work. We came without prior notice!"
Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
He was quite polite to me since it was my first time there.
"No need to disturb them, everyone is looking forward to County Chief Qi's visit and guidance!"
Lou Xiaofeng said with a smile.
When leaders visit, it's hardly a disturbance.
In particular, Qi Tongwei's first stop was the Transportation Bureau, which shows that the Transportation Bureau holds a high place in County Chief Qi's heart.
"County Magistrate Qi, please come in!"
Lou Xiaofeng brought Qi Tongwei and Ma Ningtao to his office.
"County Chief Qi, Director Ma, please have some tea!"
Lou Xiaofeng personally poured tea for Qi Tongwei and Ma Ningtao.
"Thank you!"
Qi Tongwei thanked Ma Ningtao.
"County Chief Qi, I'd like to report to you on the work of the Transportation Bureau..."
Lou Xiaofeng gave a brief report on the work of the Transportation Bureau.
"Director Lou, I've come here today to inquire about the cost of repairing these roads in our county."
County Chief Li is planning to repair the roads in our county, and as the Executive Deputy County Chief, I also need to do my part in this endeavor.
But I've only been here a few days, and I'm not familiar with the road conditions in our county yet!
Qi Tongwei explained his purpose.
"County Chief Qi, the road conditions in our county are as follows..."
Repairing these roads would cost around 3200 million yuan at the lowest standard, around 7000 million yuan at the medium standard, and one or two hundred million yuan at the high standard.
This is still based on the cause.
If we were to redesign it to high standards, it would cost four or five hundred million yuan.
Lou Xiaofeng gave Qi Tongwei a detailed report on the road conditions in Jinshan County.
"Director Lou, how much would it cost to build the road connecting the county seat to the city according to the standards of a Class II highway?"
Qi Tongwei asked.
To completely solve Jinshan County's external transportation problems, a good highway needs to be built to connect it to the city.
Secondary highways are currently the most suitable option.
"County Chief Qi, I cannot answer this question at the moment!"
Because secondary highways are more expensive to build, they require careful planning and design!
Lou Xiaofeng dared not give a random answer.
If you answer incorrectly, you'll leave a bad impression on County Chief Qi.
"Then the Transportation Bureau should hurry up and put together a planning and design!"
Qi Tongwei directly assigned tasks, as he needed to know exactly how much it would cost to build a good road leading to the city in order to proceed with the subsequent planning.
"Yes, County Chief Qi!"
Lou Xiaofeng nodded immediately; this was an opportunity to prove himself.
If the secondary road leading to the city is really built, that would be a great achievement.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei toured the Transportation Bureau and held a meeting with its leadership team.
