Chapter 1316 Qingshui River Ferry

Wang Jun parked his car near the ferry. In fact, the so-called ferry is where people get on and off boats by themselves, and there is no construction at all.

From time to time, people climbed onto the road from the river near the ferry. Some were carrying baskets, some were carrying backpacks, and some were carrying things and pulling children. Seeing this Qin Feng was even more worried.

Qin Feng came to the place where the people came up. It was a steep hillside. Someone used a hoe to dig a simple ladder for people to climb from the river bed below to the road. The drop was seven or eight meters. It was very steep. Let’s not talk about it for now. Is it dangerous to cross the river? If you don't climb this slope properly, you could fall to death or cripple you.

Qin Feng stood by the road and looked into the river. There was a small wooden boat rowing with difficulty in the middle of the river. There were five or six people in the small wooden boat, and there were dozens of people waiting there on the other side of the river.

The river surface at this section of the ferry was wider than what Qin Feng had seen upstream before, and the water flow was relatively much slower. But even so, the small wooden boat still trembled slightly as it rowed in the river, as if it was about to capsize at any time.

Qin Feng glanced and said to Wang Jun and Zhou Liang who were following him: "Let's go down and have a look."

"County Magistrate, this is too dangerous, let's just take a look here," Zhou Liang reminded quickly.

"Others can climb up with things and children in their arms, so why can't I go down? Let's go, it's not that expensive." Qin Feng said and prepared to go down.

"County Magistrate, I'll go ahead." Zhou Liang quickly walked in front of Qin Feng and walked down.

Qin Feng said it was easy, but when he really wanted to go down, he was very frightened.

As soon as he got off the boat, Qin Feng saw several people standing by the ferry to help pull the boat to the shore. There was also a person holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Don't move yet. Stand up when the boat docks. Get off one by one. Don't be anxious. Take your time. Be sure to pay attention to safety..."

Qin Feng had seen this man with the trumpet before. It was Lu Zian, the deputy mayor of Qingping Town who shamelessly ran to Qin Feng's office last time to ask Qin Feng to find a way to build a bridge for the people on the other side of the Qingshui River.

Zhou Liang also saw Lu Zian and said to Qin Feng, "I'll call him over."

"No, let's take a look here." Qin Feng stopped Zhou Liang.

"Aunt, wait a minute." Lu Zian shouted to a woman, quickly walked over and took the child from the boat, who was holding the old woman's hand, and then went over to help the old woman get off the boat.

"Mayor Lu, you are on duty again today."

"Come and take a look if you have nothing to do. Why are you running out every day? Where are you going today? Don't run around all day if you have nothing to do. This boat is not safe. If you can't sit on it, try not to sit on it." Lu Zian shouted to a young man. .

"Mayor Lu, when will our bridge be repaired? A few days ago, someone proposed marriage to my second son, but as soon as the woman saw that there are no roads in our area, she refused..."

"It's almost time. The county magistrate has promised me that the bridge will be repaired and soon, don't worry, everyone." Lu Zian said loudly, and then said: "Be careful when going uphill. Don't rush. What I'm saying is You come one by one, after the previous one has gone up, you go up again..." Lu Zian turned around and shouted to the people who got off the boat and were about to go up the stairs.

As soon as he finished shouting, Lu Zian saw Qin Feng and three other people standing nearby. He was so surprised that his eyes almost fell off, and he ran over quickly: "County Magistrate, why are you here?"

"Don't shout, don't call me county magistrate, I don't have the face to face the people." Qin Feng sighed.

"County Magistrate...you...don't say that. The bridge repair has nothing to do with you. You have just taken office. These are all bloody things done by the previous term."

"How many boats are there in total?" Qin Feng asked.

"Two boats. These two boats belong to the families of villagers who used to fish. In order to solve the traffic problem, I called the village cadres of several villages and discussed that the two fishermen should stop fishing and These two boats are used to ferry people, and each person receives one yuan each time, which is used as their salary. This can be regarded as a temporary solution to the travel problem." Lu Zian said.

"Approximately how many people take the boat every day?"

"Normally, there are less people. There are about 1,500 or 60 people every day. During the market, there are more people. There are as many as 500 or 600 people."

"Five to six hundred people? Just rely on these two small boats? How long will it take to transport them?"

"There is nothing we can do about it. People have to buy vegetables and supplies to live, and some villagers have to pick vegetables to sell in the town. Basically, they all focus on the market day. And our market opens early. Basically, the market starts at five or six in the morning, so on the day of the market, many villagers came over at one or two in the morning to wait for the boat to cross the river in order not to delay the market. However, they still couldn't get the goods, and there was a long queue on the day of the market. Three or four hours.”

"In order to solve this difficulty, I am also trying to communicate with the leaders to see if the town can allocate funds to buy two larger air-cushion rafts. This does not cost much and can also alleviate the villagers' travel difficulty to a certain extent. ." Lu Zian continued to introduce.
