Chapter 2012

In December, the survey for this road from Chongjin County to Hongzhou City began. Jiangyou Province is preparing to rebuild this road, straighten the original road, and build bridges when encountering small rivers and lakes on the road. In this way, the mileage of this road can be shortened a lot, and with the road conditions being much better, it will take at most two or three hours to get from Chongjin County to Hongzhou City in the future.

After the survey of this road, it will be divided into sections for bidding, and it is expected to start construction after the New Year. This road will be built in several sections, and it will probably be open to traffic throughout the whole line within next year.

Of course, these are the most optimistic estimates. Su Xinghui still has some worries in his heart, because there will be a big flood next year, and it will rain for several months. When it rains heavily, this road will definitely have to stop construction, which will delay the construction period by several months.

However, even if he knows there will be a big flood next year, some things cannot be stopped, such as this road, such as next year's spring plowing.

Next year there will be a big flood, and next year's crops will definitely be greatly reduced. Crops like rice and cotton might even fail completely. But because of this, should Su Xinghui let farmers stop spring plowing next year and do nothing? That would be impossible.

What reason does he have to let farmers not carry out spring plowing? He says there will definitely be a big flood next year? If others ask him how he knows there will definitely be a big flood next year, how does he answer? Say he has foresight?

Things like spring plowing must definitely be carried out because this relates to the farmers' livelihood for the year. No matter what reason he has, if he wants to let farmers stop spring plowing, the common people will oppose him, and the superiors might even remove him from his post immediately. If he does this, not only can he not prevent this from happening, but he himself will be implicated.

Therefore, even though he knows there will be a big flood next year, he has to continue with things like road construction and spring plowing. Of course, road construction is not afraid; at most, it will delay the construction period. Starting now is better than not starting. Regarding spring plowing, he plans to fully abolish agricultural taxes and levies and surcharges in the whole county next year, first reducing some of the farmers' burden.

And after such a big disaster, the state will also issue some relief. At that time, the charitable foundation of Yu Ruizhi and his sister can also play a significant role. Su Xinghui will mobilize his other friends to donate some money, and they should be able to get through next year's difficulties. After next year's difficulties are passed, the days ahead will get better and better.

The road from Chongjin County to Hongzhou City is preparing to start construction, and the Changjiangdaqiao from Chongjin County to Xiangjia County is also in preparation. The Jiangyou Provincial Government has approved the project application of the Chongjin County Government, and under the coordination of Wan Yangbo, the opposite Xiangjia County also submitted a project application to the Hudong Provincial Government, and the Hudong Provincial Government also approved their project application.
