Chapter 629: New Rural Development
"Little Liu Lang, come, first tell Grandpa Zhao about his studies in the United States in the past six months!"
Zhao Hongyang looked at Liu Lang with a smile, this kid gave him too many surprises.
"Well, I studied mechanical engineering at Stanford University in the United States, and I have been attending classes every day for half a year, as for the content of learning, the United States is indeed much stronger than us, and we have not heard of many theories, but all the knowledge I have learned has been fully mastered, and I also wrote some materials and handed them to Professor Xiong Huaizhi of Huaxia University, I believe it will be of great help to our country's industrial system!"
Liu Lang gave a brief introduction.
"Okay, very good, your task now is to learn and learn again, our country is not as advanced technology as the developed countries in the West, but we have a genius in the world, you can learn the advanced technology of the United States and master it all, then our country's industrial progress will be greatly improved, and you are shouldering the heavy responsibility of national industrial modernization!"
"Grandpa Zhao, thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely study hard, but our country's industry does not depend on a certain person to succeed, my biggest feeling when I studied in the United States is that they have too many talents, hundreds of doctors in a university, nearly 100 professors, they master the world's most advanced science and technology, there are such strong talents, where is the reason why the United States is not strong? Our country is far behind in this respect, the older generation of scientists is now very old, but the new generation of scientists has not yet grown up, and there are many reasons for this, but one point is that the popularization of our education is still very low, the source of students is still limited to cities and towns, and the vast majority of rural teenagers cannot receive a good education!"
Liu Lang immediately raised the issue of education.
"Hehe, everyone, look at it, I haven't said it yet, you have said the theme of today's meeting, but what I appreciate most about you is this kind of love for the motherland.
Zhao Hongyang said with relief.
"Okay, everyone knows the theme of this meeting, I just want to see what the countryside of our country is like now, Director Wang, do you have a little comrade Wang Nan here?"
Zhao Hongyang went straight to the topic.
"It's coming, it's coming, Wang Nan!"
The head of the Wang platform hurriedly stood up and looked at Wang Nan, who was sitting in the corner.
Oh! Why is Comrade Wang Nan sitting in the corner? Today you are the protagonist, come on, come on, sit in front!
Zhao Hongyang waved his hand again and again.
Wang Nan hurriedly walked to the conference table and found the outermost chair to sit down.
"Comrade Wang Nanxiao, you can be those Wanwan people who have walked for a few months and entered the grassroots level, ostensibly to accompany their compatriots, but in fact, they are also a field trip for us who are high-ranking people, come, you can introduce it to us!"
Wang Nan nodded and began to talk about this experience.
Wang Nan is a Northwest man, but his language skills are very strong, and he is very emotional, and everyone present is moved when it comes to touching things.
In the end, Wang Nan opened the purse and took out a stack of photos of the local customs, all of which were taken in the countryside, but more of them were photos that reflected the situation of the local residents, some of which were dilapidated houses, some of which were almost dilapidated primary school classrooms, and at most were immature faces who were eager to read in the extremely simple classrooms.
Everyone present was silent, these pictures were so shocking, everyone knew that the living standards of the farmers were still very low, and they also knew that many children could not afford to go to school, but they never knew that these children also had a thirst for knowledge, even if they only had a long pencil in their hands without a finger, they had to write their dreams on paper, which made the photos more shocking than any tirade.
"Alas, I really feel guilty when I see these pictures! I'm sorry for those peasant brothers!"
Zhao Hongyang's voice was very low, which made people feel a kind of distress.
Although the peasants' incomes have increased somewhat in recent years, the rate is far lower than that of urban residents, and there are 700 million peasants in our country, and if we do not solve the peasant problems, there is no way to talk about other problems!
The leader of the construction committee said.
"I agree with the matter of the Youth Development Foundation, and it will be prepared in accordance with Liu Lang's proposal, and the sooner this matter is established, the better, once it is established, we will immediately start the Hope Project, and let these children go to school as soon as possible, not only primary school, but also junior high school, high school and even university, and our country will also come up with special funds to put it into the development foundation!"
Zhao Hongyang didn't discuss it with everyone at all, and said directly.
"I agree with Prime Minister Promotion!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Everyone raised their hands.
"I think that the hope project can only cure the symptoms, but not the root cause, if you want to cure the symptoms, then you must increase the income of farmers, as long as they have money, education will naturally be good, Xiao Liu Lang, I want to hear if you have any opinions to make the countryside rich!"
Zhao Hongyang suddenly looked at Liu Lang.
"Opinions?"
Liu Lang was also stunned, he didn't expect the other party to ask him.
"Well, in fact, in my opinion, one of the manifestations of a country's prosperity is the degree of urbanization, and the higher the urbanization, the richer it becomes, and the degree of urbanization in our country is only as much as 30 percent, and this proportion is far lower than that of developed countries. It is undoubtedly very difficult to let them go into the city, but now the country's reform and opening up is very strong, with more and more factories, the number of employees will inevitably increase, they are actually the most important labor force in our country, and they are also the main new force in the future urban construction!
Looking at the course of development of some industrialized countries, in the initial stage of industrialization, it is a general trend for agriculture to support industry and provide accumulation for industry; however, after industrialization has reached a considerable extent, industry will feed back agriculture and cities will support rural areas, and coordinated development between industry and agriculture and between cities and rural areas will be realized.
"A New Socialist Countryside?"
Liu Lang's words shocked everyone present, this is reasonable!
For the construction of urbanization, Liu Lang in the "Wave of the Tertiary Industry" expounded very clearly, this is an inevitable reason is that the country has too many farmers, they are the main source of labor in the future country, if there is no them, the country's urban construction will not have much development, but the so-called construction of a new socialist countryside he did not put forward, it is a new concept, this concept in the previous life was put forward in the next century of the country, and now Liu Lang suddenly advanced more than ten years.
