Volume 9 Prosperity Volume Chapter 36 Three-Day Reservoir Talk
.
Shortly afterwards, Zhao Gang had a detailed discussion with the Minister of Water Resources in his personal capacity to discuss the issue of reservoir construction in the next fifteen years. In Zhao Gang's memory, New China had successful reservoir construction and failed reservoir construction. No matter how wonderful the prospects seemed, if we could not master the key points of reservoir construction, we would only build one and destroy one. Throw the people's money into the water.
The Minister of Water Resources’ surname is Huang and his name is Wanli. He is a middle-aged man in his forties. He himself is good at everything else, but he is not good at anything. He is too straightforward. Once his temper rises, he will take it back no matter who you are. For some reason, Zhao Gang must promote this stubborn person to such a high position as the minister.
Huang Wanli sat opposite Zhao Gang and began to explain the construction of the reservoir to Zhao Gang. He has been studying the reservoir for many years, so he naturally has his own idea, which is "harmony between man and nature"
Zhao Gang knew very well about the unity of man and nature, but he didn't understand how to unity of man and nature in the reservoir. This stupid qualification was immediately despised by Teacher Huang. This contempt was not out of words, but in words and deeds.
"The relationship between man and nature is the most important relationship in reservoir construction. Studying the relationship between dams and ecology, and understanding the relationship between man and nature is the prerequisite. In the process of human history development, the development of the relationship between man and nature has gone through three periods - dependence, development, and plunder. What we need to do now is to live in harmony with nature, which is the fourth stage - Harmony
In the case of extremely low productivity in primitive society, humans passively adapt to nature, and man and nature are a dependence relationship. So at that time, respecting heaven and earth, fearing ghosts and gods; after the productivity level was improved, humans began to develop and utilize nature. At that time, immortals appeared; with the progress of science and technology and the further improvement of productivity level, humans demanded and plundered from nature without restraint. This caused revenge and punishment from nature, which was the current situation; Deng After we realized the serious harm of this plundering development, we began to seek a new realm of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. This realm is called the unity of man and nature.
Damn, Zhao Gang could hear it and profusely. If this theory is put a hundred years later, it will be a standard theory of harmonious society. Unexpectedly, Huang Wanli will be able to break it in one sentence.
"From the "harmony of man and nature" in primitive society to the stage of plundering, "man is determined to conquer nature". Then to the "harmony of man and nature" we are currently pursuing, the four periods of the development of the relationship between man and nature, in a philosophical sense, a process of negation and spiral ascending. "harmony of man and nature" is also a "harmony of man and nature". It is a product of economic and social development to a certain extent, and is also an inevitable requirement for the high development of the economy and society."
Looking at Zhao Gang's humble appearance, Teacher Huang nodded with satisfaction:
"The historical process of hydropower development has these stages, and most of them are still in the third stage. In fact, in terms of the relationship between dams and ecology, hydropower is more representative. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the development history of hydropower.
my country's hydropower was originally blank. It has installed capacity of 56.3 kilowatts. Although it has encountered several difficulties and setbacks in the development process, it still develops tenaciously, from weak to strong, from small to large. It is not easy to develop hydropower. We must break the four stages of development: technological constraints, investment constraints, market constraints and ecological constraints.
First, technological constraints are the easiest to solve. In the early days of the founding of New China, my country's hydropower industry was restricted by factors such as building materials and technology. The development speed was slow. At that time, due to the lack of scientific dam construction technology and modern building materials, construction machinery, the construction of dams was mainly carried by people, and the level of mechanization was extremely low, which restricted the development of the hydropower industry. However, this method has passed now, and the mechanization level of our army is even higher than that of European countries, and this problem has been solved.
The second investment constraint has also been solved. The level of dam construction technology has gradually improved. The following is the constraint of funds. In the case of power shortage, the country urgently needs to develop thermal power and hydropower. We have solved this with long-term water conservancy construction bonds, but this problem has not actually occurred at all.
The third is ecological constraints. Our economy is much better now, and we are paying more and more attention to ecological and environmental issues. After the hydropower industry has been troubled by technology, capital, market and other factors, it faces new problems, namely how to view the impact of hydropower development on the ecology.
Now the contradiction of power shortage is becoming increasingly intensifying, and the development of hydropower is an important measure to solve the energy shortage. However, how to understand and properly resolve the ecological problems brought about by building dams has become a major challenge facing the development of hydropower. It can be said that the ecological problems brought about by building dams will become a new local constraint on the development of hydropower. Only by solving the ecological problems can my country's hydropower industry be further developed.
We cannot destroy the environment on which our descendants rely for their survival. We can use this price to develop the economy. This standby is too expensive and cannot be afforded!
“Ecological and environmental problems caused by dams?
Zhao Gang didn't understand. In his opinion, repairing hydropower stations is different from Su Thermal Power Station.
It is polluted and can also prevent floods. How can such a good thing happen?
"Minister Huang, are you a bit alarmist? How harmful can the restoration repair cause to the environment? Even if there is some small pollution, compared with the benefits of flood control irrigation and power generation, it is just a drop in the bucket. You cannot deny it completely because of a little problem!"
Huang Wanli's face turned red, and Zhao Gang's words were distrust of him, which made him difficult to accept.
“I think that in a general sense, the ecological problems that may be brought about by building a dam can be summarized into eight aspects.
"(I) Immigration issue. Reservoir immigration involves many fields and is a huge and complex systematic project. It is related to the adjustment of people's right to survive and residence. It is a global problem today. In China, immigration issue is the most worthy of attention in the ecological impact brought by dam construction:
First, the immigration issue deserves great attention. When building a large reservoir, the number of immigrants can reach more than 100,000, which is not available in any country in the world. Nowadays, the overall work of reservoir immigration is good, but we should also see that there are still some problems that cannot be ignored. Many immigrants have not yet escaped poverty, and the problems of production development and life have not been well solved.
Second, regarding the handling of land acquisition and resettlement work in the construction of dams in the warehouse. Generally speaking, there are three main ways to resettle in my country or divided into three stages: one is the early simple resettlement stage. The other is the development resettlement stage, that is, let immigrants have production means and means of production, and change passive compensation to active entrepreneurship, and change life relief to assist in the development of production.
I think neither of these two is desirable. Now the third method should be adopted, taking the path of investment-oriented immigration. Investment-oriented immigration is the capital investment of the immigrants in the warehouse area to enjoy certain equity in the operation of power stations.
In other words, the state enjoys resource assets, and immigrants have corresponding equity assets. At present, some power stations extract a certain proportion of their operating income for immigration compensation, which is also a way of conversion for asset management. In this way, the immigration can be made more reasonable.
If immigrants bring them the opportunity to get rid of poverty and become a way to get rid of poverty, the immigration work will be supported by the people in the reservoir area. Now, when we are building reservoirs, how many people in the reservoir area oppose it, this is the voice of people, and it is definitely not a small problem."
As the Minister of Water Resources, Huang Wanli naturally has a deeper view of the problem. These things were unexpected by Zhao Gang as the emperor. After listening to Minister Huang's explanation, Zhao Gang felt a little uncomfortable. He has always described himself as a myth, believing that with a hundred years of experience, there is nothing that cannot be done. Now after listening to the experts' explanation, he realizes that he knows very little.
At this time, it was already late. Huang Wanli saw that Zhao Gang's face was not good-looking, and knew that he had said too much and too deep. These things were all things at the operation level, and they could explain clearly in a while, so he planned to go back and write a detailed explanation for Zhao Gang. Thinking of this, Huang Wanli stood up:
"Your Majesty, I was just offending me. Regarding the construction of water conservancy, I will go back and write an outline for you. These things are very trivial and cannot be finished in three or five days."
After saying these words, Huang Wanliman thought he would get the emperor's consent, but soon he realized that the emperor had an extraordinary hobby for academics. In fact, Zhao Gang did not like academics, but the integrity of an intellectual was what he valued. A person dared to express his own opinions in front of the emperor and was not afraid of exposing the dragon scales. There were fewer and fewer such people, so he should be encouraged.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I am friends with you. Don't always call His Majesty. I feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Don't worry. I have sent someone to talk to my sister-in-law. I won't let you go back within three or five days. If you don't dislike me, live with me. By the way, do you have any allusions in your hand?"
Huang Wanli didn't expect Zhao Gang to keep him. He was a little surprised. When he heard Zhao Gang ask about the origin of his calligraphy, he answered casually.
"When I was a child, I liked to hear the story of Dayu controlling the flood, so I gave myself such a strange word. In fact, Dayu used the method of diversion to control the flood, and he succeeded. On the other hand, his father Gun."
Huang Wanli didn't say anything after saying this, and Zhao Gang didn't say anything either. In fact, he knew very well.
"The way to control water is to block the water from the ground, that is, to use soil to build a dike to plug loopholes. He built a small dirt city like a wall in the area where people were active, and surrounded it. When the flood came, it continued to increase the soil layer. However, due to the fierce flood, it continued to impact the earth wall, and the dike destroyed the wall, and the flood became even more fierce. Gun had been in control of the flood for nine years, and was exhausted and did not accomplish anything, and did not subdue the flood. Finally, when Shun saw that Gun was helpless in the flood and delayed major events, he punished and executed him in Yushan (a place name in mythology).
