Chapter 3944

And helping the disaster victims build prefabricated houses is even more important. The dead are gone, and the living must go on. No matter how sad the living people are, life must go on. They cannot live in tents for a long time; they need to rebuild their homes.

Rebuilding homes is not a matter of one day or one night, so building prefabricated houses with short construction periods for them now, so that they have a temporary place to stay, is the most important part of the rescue work now.

Fang Zhonglin nodded again and said, "Yes, the post-disaster reconstruction work is still very arduous. Xinghui, do you know why I asked you to come this time?"

Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and said, "Is it for the matter of helping the disaster area with post-disaster reconstruction?"

Fang Zhonglin nodded and said, "You guessed right. It is for the matter of helping the disaster area with post-disaster reconstruction. A few days ago, I went to Beijing to attend a meeting. The central government clearly stated that the disaster situation in Sichuan Province in this Wenchuan Earthquake is very serious. Relying solely on the strength of Sichuan Province, it is impossible to complete the post-disaster reconstruction work, so it clearly requires more than twenty provinces and cities across the country to provide counterpart support to the disaster area."

Su Xinghui basically understood. Fang Zhonglin asked him to come this time to discuss with him which county Yanbei Province should support.

Su Xinghui also knew that in his previous life, except for a few provinces and ethnic autonomous regions with particularly underdeveloped economies, all provinces and cities had to support a disaster-stricken county one by one. Yanbei Province would naturally be no exception, and this was also a big event for every province and city.

Because the disaster area in Sichuan Province is large and severely damaged, if they want to rebuild their homes, they need at least several hundred billion to a trillion yuan in funds. If it is allocated to each province, at least several tens of billions of funds need to be taken out. How huge a figure is several tens of billions of funds? If this money were used as fixed asset investment for the province, several expressways could be built.

To tell the truth, some provincial and municipal leaders may not be willing, but this time the central government has issued a clear order, so they have to do this even if they are unwilling.

Su Xinghui then asked, "Secretary Fang, has our Yanbei Province decided which county to support?"

Fang Zhonglin shook his head and said, "Not yet. The central government gave us ten days to register and choose the county we want to support ourselves, and finally, our registration results will be combined with the specific situation of each province and city to determine the specific support plan."

Su Xinghui understood the central government's intention. This time, there are dozens of disaster-stricken counties and cities in Sichuan Province. If these twenty-plus provinces and cities each support one county, they must all be supporting the most severely affected counties. However, the disaster situation of these twenty-plus counties also has light and heavy, and supporting the severely affected areas naturally puts a heavier burden than supporting the lighter disaster areas.

So now the central government lets everyone register voluntarily, and then comprehensively determines it based on the specific situation of each province and city, and this specific situation is naturally the financial situation of each province and city.

After several years of rapid development, Yanbei Province's economy has ranked in the middle of the country, which is about the top ten or so. It is not the best, but it is not the worst. However, how to register is a science.

If you register for the least affected county, it certainly saves a lot of funds for the province, but the impression left on the central leaders is certainly not good. However, if you register for the most severely affected county, it is also a huge burden for the province, and it will certainly attract a lot of opinions.

Su Xinghui asked, "Secretary Fang, what is your opinion?"

Fang Zhonglin looked at Su Xinghui with burning eyes and said, "I just want to hear your opinion, that's why I called you over today."

Fang Zhonglin indeed valued Su Xinghui's opinion very much. Otherwise, how could the opinion of a mayor like Su Xinghui influence the province's decision?

Of course, this mayor Su Xinghui is different from ordinary mayors. It can be said that the rapid economic development of Yanbei Province in recent years is inseparable from Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui also has a father-in-law who is a central leader. In addition, Su Xinghui has also personally gone to the disaster area to carry out rescue work. Regarding matters in the disaster area, he naturally has a great right to speak.

Su Xinghui pondered. He also knew that this decision was not easy to make, and this suggestion of his was not easy to propose. Choosing a severely affected area compared to choosing a lighter disaster area, the money to be paid would probably differ by tens of billions, which is enough to build an expressway.
