In the afternoon, veteran naval cadres were going to visit the expanded hydropower station, and Chen Huai also accompanied him.

For the renovation and expansion project of the Yushan Lake Dam and hydropower station, Huaineng Group invested hundreds of millions of construction funds, plus the total amount of mergers and acquisition funds handed over to Yushan County in the early stage, the overall investment will exceed the first phase of the Meixi Power Plant, but the annual power generation is less than half of the first phase of the Meixi Power Plant.

Since the climate in Yushan is also warm and rainy in autumn and winter, the hydropower stations generate relatively balanced power throughout the year. Even if the initial investment is huge, the operating costs in the later stage are far lower than those in the thermal power plants, and the profit level is not necessarily slightly worse than that in the thermal power plants.

For local sources, the benefits are more obvious.

Not to mention the hidden dangers of the Yushan Lake Dam, the cash out of 60 million yuan solved the construction funding problem of roads such as Yupu; after the hydropower station was renovated, the power generation increased significantly, and the newly added taxes and fees in the local area also made up for the loss of direct income.

Yushan County is currently still a small regional power grid and has not been connected with other counties and cities. There were no thermal power plants in the country before, and it mainly relies on hydropower stations to supply power.

Now the power supply capacity of hydropower stations has also increased by the highest proportion. In addition to temporarily breaking away from the power gap restrictions in Yushan County, it has also made the investment attraction and construction of several stone processing factories and food processing plants downstream of Dongyuxi a reality.

In the evening, Xiao Haomin and Hu Zhijun rushed over.

The county should specifically introduce the economic work of Yushan to veteran naval cadres. Liang Zhenbao cannot participate if he has something to do, so this kind of work that will naturally fall on Xiao Haomin.

After Gao Yang was officially transferred to the municipal party committee, Zhang Youcai, the former secretary of the Party Committee of Dongyu Town, exposed a serious problem. He arranged to withdraw from the second line in advance. No one in the city was transferred to Yushan. The vacant positions were mainly adjusted by seniority within Yushan.

Xiao Haomin was promoted to serve as deputy county magistrate and secretary of the Party Committee of Dongyu Town, becoming the most core figure in the Meigang Group in Yushan.

Hu Zhijun was promoted from a deputy township position as secretary of the Party Committee and director of the Water Resources Bureau for less than a year, and it is impossible to make the difference again. However, the focus of Yushan County's resource development resources in the future will be water and electricity. After these tasks are done, he will be indispensable to a deputy county magistrate.

Feng Yumei no longer serves as deputy director of the government office. The Tourism Bureau was established based on the county government tourism office under her charge. She naturally became the first party secretary and director of the Yushan County Tourism Bureau.

Luo Qingze is still in charge of the development and construction of Yushan hydropower resources within Huaineng Group.

Yushan County was once the poorest county in Donghua. Last year, the per capita annual income of the whole county was less than 2,000 yuan. It is impossible for the poor people in the county to get rid of poverty and become rich in just one year, but the changes are still huge.

The total number of migrant workers in construction industry exported from construction stations in all townships in the county has increased to 20,000 this year. With the labor exports from other industries, the total number may exceed 60,000 to 70,000.

Although the results are not completely improved, there have been significant improvements compared to the past.

In terms of county finance, in addition to the 60 million yuan transferred by Huaineng Group at the beginning of the year, the new fiscal and taxation in the county and the fiscal funds transferred and allocated by the city have doubled the fiscal expenditure of Yushan County this year on last year.

Since the growth rate of other districts and counties is not small, Yushan County has not been able to get out of the second-last position in the district and county finance rankings, but life is much better than last year.

"The county sets a financial investment target for next year to exceed 100 million. Some work has just begun and has achieved remarkable results, but in the future, the results will be limited. Setting this goal is still a bit stressful," Xiao Haomin introduced the good development of Yushan County this year, but there are also some hidden worries. "Taking labor input as an example, next year we will work hard to exceed 90,000 people, and the publicity and organization work will be heavier and more tiring than this year; in the future, this aspect will be more difficult to do. After all, the upper limit of labor output in Yushan is only 170,000 to 180,000, which is unlikely to exceed 200,000. On the other hand, the income from labor output has limited increase to the county government, and the county has invested heavily in this area, so there are some different voices in the county..."

I listened to Xiao Haomin's report on the economic work of Yushan County with Cui Xiangdong and other veteran naval cadres. When I heard this, Chen Huai also smiled.

We cannot blame some officials in the county for being short-sighted. In addition to the growth of investment in public utilities, it is also directly related to the income level of ordinary public officials. Even foresighted officials cannot completely ignore the pressure in this regard.

At present, the assessment indicators within and outside the system are mainly the growth of local GDP, but this number is easily injected by the statistical level, and the real hard indicator is still the local fiscal and taxation level.

"The Yupu Highway has been straightened and widened. Whether it is going to Xiapu or going to the city, the time has been shortened by nearly half. I believe that Mr. Cui and other old comrades who have always cared about Yushan have direct feelings in this regard," Xiao Haomin continued to introduce, "In the past, they said that Yushan was beautiful and Yuhu was beautiful, but the poor roads in the mountain have bumped away the good mood of most people to travel around the mountains and rivers. Now that the road has been repaired, the tourism market of Yushan can be explored in the future. Although Secretary Chen no longer works in Yushan, everyone is thinking about Secretary Chen's good road construction for Yushan; of course, this is also the result of Mr. Cui's concern for Yushan. However, if you can open Sui Road in the middle of Longji Mountain and connect directly with the city, the distance can be shortened to within half an hour, and the role of promoting Yushan economy will be more significant..."

"That's a dream," Chen Huai said with a smile. "The east extension plan for Xudong Expressway is to consider turning a branch line from the northwest corner of the city and going directly to Xinjin from Yushan. However, after preliminary surveys, the cost of this branch line highway may exceed 15.6 billion, and the construction of Longjishan Sui Road alone will cost at least 200 million. This money will not be available in three to five years, so you should not have this dream."

"Does that mean the city is already considering it?"

Although Chen Huai said that there was no possibility of building the Yushan Expressway in three to five years, Hu Zhijun and the others were also very excited when they heard it. At least it was already considering this issue. Even if it took ten or eight years, it was still worth their expectations.

Cui Xiangdong and other old comrades were also very concerned about this issue and looked at Chen Huai.

If Longji Mountain really can build a highway, Yushan County will truly clear up geographical restrictions, and it will be no problem to get rid of poverty and become rich in the whole county.

Many old comrades such as Cui Xiangdong have revolutionized and worked in Yushan, and have expressed deep feelings for the development here.

"The editing of the municipal vision plan should be finalized by the end of the year, and everyone will see it at that time," said Chen Huai. "But the planning is very important, but it is only one aspect. It is more critical to make it step by step. If it goes well at the beginning of next year, the construction of the eastern extension branch of the Xudong Railway will start; within three to five years, one is the construction of the eastern extension section of the Xudong Expressway, and the other is the electrification transformation and duplex construction of the Xudong Railway. The issue of building a highway in Yushan has not been considered for the time being..."

Speaking of this, Chen Huai walked sideways and introduced to Cui Xiangdong and other old comrades: "In addition to port construction, in addition to port construction, inland railways and highway networks must also be connected through to truly play the status and role of the comprehensive hub port. The East China Railway Bureau is unwilling to use funds to consider the input and utilization of Zhuxi coal resources. Huaineng and Xinpu Steel Group have to bite the bullet and can also raise 300 million yuan of construction funds. At that time, consider applying to the Ministry of Railways to build this branch line by ourselves. This will not only allow Xinpu Port to be connected to the railway network after it is completed. If the railway agrees to raise funds for this branch line by ourselves, we will naturally in the future. It is also the local government responsible for the operation. We are optimistic about the future operational situation and are not worried about anything. The main problem is the electrification transformation and duplex construction of Xudong Railway. In theory, the electrification transformation and duplex engineering can increase the capacity of Xudong Railway by eight to ten times, which is urgently needed for the great development of Huaihai. However, where at least 50 billion yuan of construction funds comes from is a question, there is also the question of how to share the assets and operating rights after the existing branch lines and duplexes of Xudong Railway are completed. Which financing plan does the East China Railway Bureau prefer and is willing to transfer the focus of railway development in East China to Huaihai. These are difficulties that cannot be broken through at the moment..."

Cui Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and stared at Chen Huai: "You guy is digging a hole here and waiting for us to jump down, right?"

"No, what pit did I dig?" Chen Huai denied, "If Xiao Haomin introduces the work achievements and future prospects of Yushan County, I will just go to the Xudong Railway; if you are bothering me, I will shut up..."

"You are talking nonsense," Cui Xiangdong pointed to an old man beside him and said, "Lao Liang's son-in-law is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the East China Railway Bureau. You said you didn't ask clearly beforehand and just got involved in the Xudong Railway duplex project. Who believes that?"

Several old comrades also looked at Chen Huai with a smile, not believing that he really didn't know.

"Old man, you must say that. I really can't argue," Chen Huai didn't admit it, nor was he afraid that Cui Xiangdong and the others could bite him. He is now only responsible for raising the interests of Cui Xiangdong and other veteran naval cadres. As for whether he can achieve the effect he wants, then I will say later, "At the moment of reform and development, there have been many problems, and the gap between the rich and the poor in society may also intensify, and more and more complex problems will arise in the future - I would like to ask you to come here to see this trip. On the one hand, it means showing off your achievements, and on the other hand, it also wants to tell more people that development is the fundamental means to solve many problems and contradictions in the current society. More than ten years of reform and opening up, now we are about to enter the deep waters, and the noise is getting more and more noises, and some new contradictions have emerged in society. As for the firm reformists, I naturally want to waving the flag of reform. As for other intentions, it is really gone..."

"..." Cui Xiangdong shook his head and expressed his disbelief.
