Excellent little farmer

The purpose of attracting Dahua and Sanye companies is to form an industrial chain and lay a solid foundation for the development of Lingtai animal husbandry. My next goal is to develop downstream leather processing, shoemaking, and furniture manufacturing. industry, which will become a leg of Lingtai's industrial economy.

The other leg is the ecological forest fruit industry and tea making industry, which I am also very optimistic about. Chen's Group's juice processing plant has taken the first step. Relying on the rich wild fruits and tea gardens in Hekou District, the fruit processing and dark tea industries will also be Another solid thigh that I carefully constructed.

Introduce large foreign leading enterprises and use the agricultural science and technology demonstration park of Jiangzhou University College of Agriculture in Lingtai to further transform the fruit trees and tea gardens in the southern hilly area of ​​Lingtai to increase production and quality. Rely on the introduced enterprises and encourage local enterprises to further develop fruit processing. and build the dark tea industry to become another growth point for Lingtai’s economic development.

In addition to walking on two legs, I also hope to use the trump card of tourism to enhance the image of Lingtai, fully tap the tourism resources of Lingtai, and bring the beautiful landscapes and rich cultural and historical landscapes of the Lingtai area that are unknown to the outside world. They are all displayed in front of the world, turning Penglai Temple and Huanmen Mountain Scenic Area into another Zhangjiajie and Jiuzhaigou.

This was the two-legged, one-card strategy I initially designed for Lingtai. It wasn’t until I was studying at the Party School that I had enough time to consider the blueprint for the next economic development of Lingtai County. After repeated comparisons and analyses, in my mind Only then did we have such a rough idea.

I came today just to discuss my thoughts with Dong Shengli, and to ask Dong Shengli to come up with a detailed and specific plan for him according to his general ideas. In the future, Lingtai economy will be carried out in a targeted manner according to this intention and goal. to make adjustments.

"Sheng Li, your thinking is very clear, but we have to look further. We are a first-level government with more than 1,000 square kilometers of land under our jurisdiction. More than 600,000 people are looking at us. In addition to the need to consider the county How to develop the local economy, but also how to bulge the pockets of the people."

I pondered for a long time and said: "Tang Taizong all knew that wealth lies in the people. As leaders of the first-level government, we should not only focus on developing the economy, but also consider how to continuously and steadily increase the income of the people. In Lingtai, that It is to increase the income of farmers and improve their living standards. Only by taking both into consideration can it be regarded as a harmonious and perfect development mechanism. To be precise, I pay more attention to the latter."

Dong Shengli was a little surprised when he tasted it carefully, but he could hear the meaning in my words. It is easy to say it, just one sentence, but it may take several years or even ten years to actually do it. Years may not be truly achievable. Compared with attracting investment and developing the economy, this goal seems somewhat idealistic.

"Mr. Ye, the income gap between urban and rural areas is obvious and growing day by day. This is also an irreversible trend. It is easy to say increase income, but how to increase it?"

Dong Shengli shook his head repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "And as the income of urban residents increases, the income growth of rural people obviously cannot keep up, which means that the gap between urban and rural areas will only get wider and wider.

Our Lingtai County is a typical poor and agricultural county. You said you want to increase farmers' income and improve farmers' living standards. If it is just in terms of absolute numbers, then there is no problem. With the improvement of living standards, this is easy to do. But when it comes to the relative level, I'm afraid it's too possible. "

“The harder it is to achieve, the more we must work in this direction.”

Of course I know that this is not easy to do. The difference between urban and rural areas in my memory will become bigger and bigger with the development of society. If we want to further improve the living standards of rural residents, we must first speed up the adjustment of rural industrial structure and shift from traditional and extensive planting and breeding. The second is to speed up the digestion of rural surplus labor, and objectively speaking, I am afraid that the second factor is the main factor.

"County Magistrate Ye, do you have any good ideas?" Dong Shengli knew that I, the county magistrate, was wild and smart, and could always find some original ideas.

“Our county has a fairly abundant surplus labor force, but there are not many migrant workers. Firstly, there is a reluctance to go out, and secondly, there is a lack of necessary labor skills. Even if you go out, it is difficult to find a suitable job, or the income and The effort is not proportional and there is a sense of gap.”

I lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and thought: "Accelerating the transfer of labor is one way. I remember that it is very difficult to run the No. 2 Middle School. My idea is that the No. 2 Middle School can be turned into a vocational training school. , encourage rural students to enter vocational training schools after graduation and learn one or two livelihood skills, so that they can start their own business or go out or find a way to make a living nearby, which is far better than their parents digging in the soil at home."

Dong Shengli frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Nowadays in rural areas, people generally graduate from junior high school. As long as their grades are not particularly good and they have the hope of being admitted to university, many people leave school to help before they reach high school. If you want farmers to give up one and a half of their labor to go to this so-called vocational school and wait for three years while they are working at home, I am afraid that farmers will not accept it. This is one of the reasons;

Vocational education requires professional teachers, which is very different from ordinary middle schools. It is not a simple matter to develop vocational education. This is the second one;

There is also the issue of tuition fees. Even if farmers want their children to have a future, just the tuition fees for these three years can force them to give up this plan. "

"It is for this reason that we should pay more attention to the development of vocational education. Economic reasons and conceptual reasons have caused farmers' children to give up the opportunity to learn skills, which can only make them return to the countryside and become the same traditional people as their parents. Farmers.”

I sighed: "I also know that this road is not easy to follow, but such a vicious cycle makes our farmers increasingly poorer, so we must break the links of this vicious cycle so that they can get rid of the fate of ignorance and poverty."

"In fact, vocational education in developed countries abroad is quite developed, especially in industrialized countries such as Germany. It is the developed vocational education that has created batches of skilled technicians and supported Germany's developed industrial base. I plan to let Ling Taichung No. 2 Middle School will give it a try. Two days ago, I talked with Mayor Fu and Director Nan of the Municipal Education Bureau. They also support us in launching a pilot project in Lingtai, and we can also get some policies. and financial support.”

Dong Shengli also came from a peasant family. Although he was not from Huai'an, the situation in Huaiqing was not much better.

The psychological and economic conditions of farmers make them more realistic and short-sighted, and this also makes a considerable number of farmers' children retreat step by step to the lifestyle of their parents. In addition, he has also worked in school and is aware of the current education situation. He still supports vocational education as a way to learn practical skills and find a way to make a living, but there are many specific difficulties that he had to remind me first.

The series of personnel changes I led caused quite a shock in Lingtai. If the dismissal of Yuan Weiguo and Liang Kecheng was considered logical, then the dismissal of Zhou Benshan and Meng Guanghe seemed a bit shocking. The reason for dismissal was that he was not in good working condition and could not shoulder the important responsibilities assigned by the county party committee and county government.

With just two simple sentences, two cadres with high positions in the county were directly raped. This simply created a historical record.

The shock of Zhou Benshan and Meng Guanghe's dismissal far exceeded the impact of the arrest of Wang Mingxi and Xiang Yuanshan.

After all, the latter constitutes a crime, and Zhou Benshan and Meng Guanghe are not only veterans of the department-level cadres in Lingtai County, but Zhou Benshan is quite bullish and has won the favor of the leaders of the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau. There are even rumors that he may He was going to be promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, but at this juncture, the Lingtai County Government actually said he would be exempted from the job without leaving any steps for him.

And Meng Guanghe was a loyal supporter of Deputy Secretary Wan Chaoyang, and he was captured silently. It is said that after Meng Guanghe was captured, he even went to Wan Chaoyang's office to make a fuss, calling Wan Chaoyang a coward who couldn't even protect his own people and being a shitty deputy secretary of the county party committee, which made Wan Chaoyang very angry. His blood pressure soared and he was admitted to the county hospital.

Of course, these are all tidbits and cannot be believed, but it is true that Wan Chaoyang was in poor health during this period and was admitted to the county hospital.

At a cadre meeting held by cadres at the deputy section level and above in the county to further deepen the rectification campaign, I vowed that this rectification campaign promoted by the Lingtai County Party Committee and County Government must completely change the work style of Lingtai cadres. , it is necessary to comprehensively create a five-star soft environment for investment and entrepreneurship in Lingtai, and encourage foreign investors to invest and build factories in Lingtai.

At the same time, local private enterprises are encouraged to expand their scale in advantageous industries, and the government will provide policy and financial support to these enterprises.

These quite trendy words were something Dong Shengli and I came up with after racking our brains. The purpose is to combine this rectification movement with the intention of creating a soft investment environment and effectively cultivate people who are pro-business, secure and love business. Atmosphere.
