"Commissioner Li, how long will our investigation take?”

As soon as they left Green Camel Town, Xu Chang couldn't help but ask Li Yan. In fact, Xu Chang, who had followed Li Yan out, was a little puzzled. After all, when it was almost time for dinner this morning, Li Yan suddenly found him and asked him to pack up Bei Lu and go down with him to do research. The two of them didn't bring anything with them. If they brought Bei Lu, they might have to sleep outside at night. However, when they studied geography in the United States, they often slept in the wilderness. Therefore, there was nothing much to prepare.

"About six to seven days. In the early stages, we will walk north along the Meng River to see if there is a place suitable for the construction of a hydraulic power station. Then, we will go to the villages north of Qingtuo Town and Fei County to take a look.”

Li Yan didn't care. He didn't bring a flashlight, batteries, and steamed buns because Hu Rui would naturally come to find him later with food and whatnot. It would be a pity to waste time waiting for the steamed buns to be cooked.

"Are we going to build a water power station? Our Shandong doesn't seem to have so much money to do this.”

Xu Chang, who understood Shandong's economic situation, was very skeptical. After all, the cost of building a hydraulic power station was very high. At present, only Jinan and Shandong had two medium-sized power plants. Other places like Linyi only had a small thermal power plant. As for the electricity in Yinan County, it was all pulled from the small thermal power plant in Linyi.

His experience in the United States told him that the cost of a hydraulic power plant was greater than that of a thermal power plant. After all, a hydraulic power plant did not have fuel concerns. Moreover, because the construction of a hydraulic power plant required a reservoir, the reservoir could promote the development of agriculture to a certain extent. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, a hydraulic power plant was actually a relatively good source of electricity, except that the investment and rainfall required during construction were greater than that of a thermal power plant.

However, Li Yan was now telling him that Shandong had decided to build a hydraulic power station. If Li Yan was not the Shandong industrial commissioner, Xu Chang really wanted to go back directly because it was not realistic. After all, where would the funds come from, where would the materials come from, and where would the motor come from? These were all problems. If he couldn't solve this, what was the use of confirming the location?

"Yes, it should be to build a hydraulic power station. As for the funds, it's not for you to consider. You just need to record the data well.”

Although Li Yan came over directly, he was also a little worried. After all, Li Yan did not know the attitude of the Shandong Military and Political Committee towards this batch of American aid. If Secretary Zhu and the others really chose not to accept the aid because of this difference, Li Yan had no other choice but to return to the United States. After all, he really did not see the need for Chongqing to receive this funding.

After Li Yan finished speaking, Xu Chang did not ask any more questions. He just followed behind Li Yan silently.

Although the main stream of the Meng River was 60,000 meters long, most of the river sections were only three to four meters wide. It was more like a larger stream than a small river. Therefore, the two of them made rapid progress in eliminating the location. Most of the time, they could determine that it was not suitable with just a glance. In less than two hours, the two of them had finished investigating the river reaches of Miaojiazui Village and Xiaoyuzi Village. When the two of them rushed to the Sunjia Village River, Hu Rui also rushed over. Hu Rui was a young man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was shorter than Xu Chang, about less than 1.7 meters, and he was very thin. In fact, since he came to Shandong, Li Yan had seen many people, but there was really no one who looked normal weight.

"Commissioner Li, why didn't you tell Secretary Zhu in advance that you were coming out? Why is Secretary Zhu so anxious?”

In fact, Hu Rui was already very restrained. When Commander Zhao led him to find Li Yan but couldn't find him, Commander Zhao went straight to Secretary Zhu. Both of them were anxious at that time. Fortunately, the guard of Green Camel Temple told Secretary Zhu that Li Yan and Xu Chang had carried Bei Lu out first. Only then did the two of them calm down and let him rush over with the steamed buns, flashlight, and batteries.

"Didn't I tell him before? By the way, did you bring the food?”

"Yes, Secretary Zhu said that during the period of time that Xu Chang and I are investigating with you, our food will also be raised to the standard of A grade stoves. I only brought the amount of food today until tomorrow morning, a total of 21 steamed buns.”As he spoke, Hu Rui took down the bag on his back.

"How about this? It's already 12:30. Let's eat first. After eating, we'll continue investigating.”Looking at the time, it was already time for lunch. Moreover, he had only eaten half of the food that Secretary Zhu had left for him in the morning. His stomach was starting to protest, so Li Yan decided to have lunch first. Xu Chang naturally had no other opinions. The three of them found a tree by the river and began to prepare lunch under the tree.

"Okay, the steamed buns are still a little hot. The salted vegetables in the canteen are also hot. I have boiled water here.”He took out six steamed buns from his bag and divided them into two pieces each. Then, the three of them began to eat lunch with salted vegetables. Because they were in the wild, after all, the three of them ate very quickly, especially Xu Chang and Hu Rui. Except for the holidays, the two of them actually didn't have the chance to eat white noodles, so in less than twenty minutes, they solved the problem of their stomachs. After washing the bowls, they handed them to Hu Rui. Originally, Xu Chang planned to do it for them, but he didn't compete with Hu Rui, so he could only let Hu Rui take care of them.

"Commissioner Li, what should we do if we want to check?”Hu Rui asked. In fact, Hu Rui had never come into contact with the work that Li Yan was doing. Commander Zhao ordered him to take good care of Commissioner Li's safety. If he really encountered danger, he had to protect Commissioner Li's safety even if he had to use all five bullets on him. He had only heard Commander Zhao vaguely mention that Commissioner Li came out this time to check the Meng River. To check the Meng River, what was there to check about the Meng River? Wasn't it just a very normal river? There were many such rivers in Shandong, let alone his hometown. If he really wanted to talk about it, not to mention the Yi River, even the Fang River couldn't compare. He really didn't know what to see, but Commissioner Li had been planning on a notebook.

"This time, our main purpose is to see where it is suitable to build a small-scale hydraulic power station. The hydraulic power station has certain requirements for the width and flow rate of the river, so we are mainly looking at it this time.”In fact, what Li Yan had written down in his notebook was the general shape and width of the Meng River. After all, it would be a waste to build a hydraulic power station just to generate electricity. The water in the reservoir could form a small excellent irrigation area so that the hydraulic power station could be better used. In order to form a better irrigation canal, some rivers might have to be widened or narrowed. It was now March, and wheat planting would be at the end of March. At the end of April in a month, the wheat would enter the irrigation period. If the construction was fast enough, perhaps Green Camel Town could receive irrigation this year.

"In other words, it mainly depends on the width, right, Commissioner Li?”The reason why Hu Rui asked this was because Commander Zhao gave him an order. Commander Zhao told him to watch what Commissioner Li was doing and then report to him.

After knowing that Commissioner Li was still looking at the width of the river, he didn't ask anymore. After all, although he didn't know why Commissioner Li was looking at the river, Commander Zhao told him that it was a great opportunity for Commissioner Li to come to Shandong. He told him not to disturb Commissioner Li's normal work.

Time passed very quickly. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them had already passed by Sun Village, Yang Village, Chen Village, and Wu Village. Because these villages were far away, it took them a lot more time than the few villages they had passed in the morning. Perhaps it was not the busy farming time yet, there were not many people by the river. Even if a few children saw them from afar, they quickly ran away and did not disturb them.

Due to the geographical location of Shandong, even though it was already the beginning of spring last month, the temperature was still relatively cold. The sky was also getting dark very quickly. It was only past five o'clock, so the few of them began to prepare a place to sleep at night. The three of them had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the matter of staying in the Wu Family Residence. They all planned to spend the night in the wild.

Xu Chang went to look for firewood or something because he had experience in surviving in the wild before. Hu Rui was looking for a place where he could block the wind when he slept at night. Li Yan used the last bit of sunlight to record the results of the day's inspection in his notebook. After a day of observation, at least the places that Li Yan had walked through did not need to modify the river course. The river course in Miaojiazui Village was the most seriously damaged, but to be honest, because of the distance and the turn after passing Miaojiazui Village, There was not much significance in rebuilding it.

The main reason was that the river channels near Sun Jia Village and Xiaoyuzi Village had some meaning of reconstruction due to some damage in the river channels. According to Li Yan's observation, there were some pools outside the river channels. They were probably dug up by the villagers of the two villages when they fought for the river water. As long as the boundary of the river was tidied up, the workload was not very large and did not require much materials.

After tidying up the day's work, Xu Chang also found a lot of firewood. Hu Rui not only found a good place, but also prepared dinner. They imitated the two of them and placed the steamed buns next to the bonfire to roast. Then, they ate the cold hot water and began to prepare to sleep. Because they were in a hurry to write the report last night, Li Yan only slept for a while last night. It might not even be an hour, so Li Yan slept very soundly. After a while, he fell asleep. However, Xu Chang and Hu Rui were not very sleepy, so they began to talk about today's matter.

"Brother Xu, what do you think of Commissioner Li?”Hu Rui raised the fire and asked Xu Chang. Although Hu Rui looked older than Xu Chang, after the two of them told each other their birth date at dinner, they discovered that Hu Rui's real age was much younger than Xu Chang. He was three years younger than Xu Chang.
