Coincidentally, in the days when the Qin family went to the provincial capital to visit Qinyin, Nanyue held an important meeting in the provincial capital. High-ranking officials from all counties in mountainous areas were notified and rushed to the provincial capital to attend the meeting. Zhong Gui, a high-ranking official, and Xin Xian, a high-ranking official of Linjiang County, also attended the meeting. On the rostrum of the meeting, a banner was hung high, on which was written a row of large characters: "Reform and opening up is a powerful driving force for economic development and social progress in traditional mountainous areas."

Through investigation and study based on facts, senior officials in southern Guangdong believe that the industrial and agricultural production in the coastal areas of southern Guangdong has shown a gratifying momentum, and although the vast mountainous areas have laid some good foundations, there is still a big gap compared with the coastal areas. In his speech, a senior official from southern Guangdong said: "The adoption by the CPC Central Committee and the provincial party committee of a series of principles and policies for developing the economy in mountainous areas is a prerequisite for economic development and social progress in mountainous areas. He cited an example, saying that a few days ago, state leaders inspected the land of southern Guangdong, affirmed the achievements of the mountainous counties since the beginning of reform and opening up, and encouraged the mountainous areas to continue to lay a good foundation and speed up the development of industrial and agricultural production.

"The encouragement of the state leaders to the land of southern Guangdong should be transmitted to the cadres and masses in the mountainous areas in a timely manner. The senior official of Nanyue said, "Therefore, the leaders of the senior officials in the mountainous areas have come to attend the meeting today." Starting this year, we will convene a provincial work conference on mountainous areas every year to study the development and development of mountainous areas and make arrangements for mountainous areas to get rid of poverty and become rich. ”

Before the end of the meeting, senior officials in some mountainous areas made statements. Zhong Gui, a high-ranking local official, said: "As a party organization in mountainous areas, we should base ourselves on the actual conditions in mountainous areas and take the initiative to explore new ways for the development of mountainous areas and for poverty alleviation and prosperity. This is the key to economic development and social progress in mountain areas. Xin Xian also made a speech, saying: "In the past, Linjiang County has done a lot of work in rural reform and agricultural development, and has carried out many explorations. But we must not lie under the halo of yesterday and be arrogant and sleeping rabbits in the tortoise-hare race. At present, in order to shorten the development gap with the coastal plain areas, we still need to explore new ways of industrial and agricultural development and implement a series of policies and measures to promote the development of productive forces. ”

In the following month, senior officials from southern Guangdong frequently visited the mountainous areas to conduct investigations and encourage the mountainous areas to come up with more methods and concrete measures to further promote the development and construction of the mountainous areas. The high-ranking officials in the coastal plain area finally could not sit still, and took advantage of the opportunity of the meeting in the land of southern Guangdong to put forward their opinions to the senior officials of southern Guangdong from time to time, saying that your footprints have traveled all over the mountainous counties and often go to the mountainous areas for investigation and guidance.

Zhong Gui also followed the pace of high-ranking officials in southern Guangdong, and frequently visited Linjiang County and various communes. When he met Xin Xian, he demanded that Xin Xian must come up with practical and effective measures to creatively implement the policy of reform and opening up in the mountainous areas. He said: "It is precisely the reform and opening up policy of the central and provincial party committees that has enabled the traditional mountainous counties to overcome obstacles on the road of reform and opening up, get rid of difficulties and tide over difficulties. In the past, we have taken measures such as developing agricultural product bases in rural areas, effectively raising peasants' incomes and living standards, and solving the problem of food and clothing. Nowadays, we are facing another realm of development in the mountains, which is to develop industry. The challenges you face in developing industry in mountainous areas where there is no industrial base are equally severe. ”

The news that the small mountain village relied on a variety of operations to achieve food and clothing is still published in the newspapers and periodicals of the provincial capital. The eye-catching theme of achieving food and clothing in the land of southern Guangdong makes people's hearts surge.

However, at this time, Xin Xian, a high-ranking county official, was not happy because of the temporary fame of the small mountain village, but became more uneasy. Xin Xian thought that due to the influence of historical traditions and geographical conditions, the mountainous areas have been closed for a long time, and small farmers have a strong sense of responsibility, believing that it is their duty to cultivate the fields, and that working and doing business is not a proper business, and so on. In the past, there was still a foundation and it was possible to develop agriculture, but now if you want to develop industry in mountainous areas, this is an unprecedented event, and it is also a matter that needs to cross the river by feeling the stones!

It was already deep in the night, and Xin Xian still didn't feel sleepy, he meditated hard......

At this moment, the phone in the office rang. For many years, Xin Xian knows very well that in the dead of night, the person who can call the office is the old superior Zhong Gui, and only Zhong Gui knows him best, and can conclude that Xin Xian must fight overnight whenever there is a major event.

The phone was connected, and Zhong Gui said straight to the point: "I know that you haven't slept yet, what's the matter, don't you have any specific measures?"

Xin Xian said: "If we want to develop industry in mountainous areas where there is no industrial base, I have to think about it thoroughly. ”

"That's right, that's right!" Zhong Gui said, "What you say is very traditional, what is the meaning of no industrial base, you yourself are not reasonable enough, how can you lead the people in the mountainous areas to get rich?"

Then, Zhong Gui told a story on the phone:

A shoe factory sent two salesmen to fly together to an island to open up a market. As soon as they got off the plane, they learned that all the islanders had never been in the habit of wearing shoes. A salesman was half cold, and immediately sent a telegram to the factory: "There is no market here, there is no demand!" Another salesman was pleasantly surprised, and immediately sent a telegram to the factory: "The people here have no shoes yet, and the market prospects are broad." As a result, the first salesman went back and continued his hard life, running for life all day long. Another salesman stationed on the island patiently instilled in the islanders that it was more comfortable to wear shoes than barefoot, and eventually the islanders accepted and opened up a large market.

After telling the story, Zhong Gui asked Xin Xian: "Our mountainous area is an island, industry is a shoe, and farmers are islanders who don't wear shoes." Do you still think that there is no foundation and no market for the development of industry in mountainous areas?"

Xin Xian was silent for a while, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he replied happily: "I understand, there was no industry in the mountainous area, but there must be huge industrial potential, we just need to seriously tap the potential." ”

The next day, a document drafted by Xin Xian himself was distributed to the communes through the county party committee office. Communes organized brigades and villages to convey and learn.

The document drafted by Xin Xian personally tells the story of the salesman selling on the island where no one wears shoes, and requires the communes and villages in the mountainous areas to learn the policy of reform and opening up, and change from treating the mountains as a burden, resenting the mountains, hating the mountains, and fearing the mountains to treating the mountains as a "cornucopia", loving the mountains, loving the mountains, cherishing the mountains, and establishing the concept of developing, building, and developing the mountains.

The measures laid out by Xin Xian are as follows: First, organizations at all levels should be oriented to the realistic state of mind, liberate themselves from the shackles of traditional concepts through studying theories, develop the commodity economy with confidence, and develop industry and service industries on the basis of developing agriculture. Second, by organizing cadres at all levels to visit and study in economically developed coastal and plain areas, we should broaden our horizons, find out the gaps, and find solutions. Third, through the establishment of an advanced model of Benkang getting rich, we should conduct realistic education for the vast number of peasants, so that people's ideological concepts and mental state will further undergo profound changes.

The spirit of the county party committee was conveyed from level to level. When he arrived in the small mountain village, Qin's father, as the people's representative, gathered the villagers to study the spirit of the superior documents. Father Qin's opening remarks said: "In recent years, all the villagers of our small mountain villages, in accordance with the arrangements of the higher-level party organizations, have held high the banner of reform and opening up, and in view of the reality of economic construction and social development in mountainous areas, we have explored the specific work of accelerating economic construction and social development in mountainous rural areas, such as building a variety of agricultural product bases and exploring diversified operations, thus effectively ensuring the development of the rural economy and solving the problem of food and clothing that has been difficult to solve for thousands of years. ”

The villagers burst into laughter. Father Qin didn't understand why the villagers were laughing, so he looked left and right for a while, and asked, "Did I say something wrong?

Most of the villagers stopped laughing, and only Shiya replied: "Everyone laughed at the way you said that your son couldn't marry a daughter-in-law when you held a symposium before, and there is too much difference between it and the current serious appearance!"

Father Qin said with a smile: "Our village has solved the problem of food and clothing, of course I have also improved!"

The village burst into applause.

Father Qin took out the document and read it word by word in an unfamiliar and even awkward tone: "We must win the battle of poverty alleviation and prosperity, take the market as the guide, carry out reforms in the economic structure and economic operation mechanism, improve the investment environment, open the mountain door, attract investment, turn resource advantages into economic advantages, and promote the further development of the mountainous economy." ”

After reading the manuscript, Father Qin muttered to himself: "Why do you say that there are so many obscure words? What is the market, investment environment, and resource advantages?"

Qin Gui, Ah Quan and others also followed: "Yes, what is the economic operation mechanism?"

Qin's father looked at Qin Gui and Ah Quan, and Qin Gui and Ah Quan also looked at Qin Father. The villagers all looked at Qinfu, Qingui, Ah Quan and other 10,000 households, and some of them whispered: "If you don't understand, we don't understand it even more." ”

Father Qin swept his gaze at the villagers again, and stayed for dozens of seconds. Then, he said in a firm tone: "We are exploring a new way of mountain development, and since it is a new way, of course there will be a lot of things that we don't understand." At the beginning, when we were engaged in vegetable bases, pig and fish farming, didn't we also have a lot of things that we didn't understand?"

He specially motioned to the mother to give him a cup of tea, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said loudly: "What we don't understand, someone can understand! As long as we believe in the party and the higher-level organization, follow along, and achieve the goal of getting rich on the basis of the current food and clothing! Do you say yes?"

"Yes, yes!" the villagers shouted.

Ah Quan pulled Qin Gui's clothes and asked, "We are all 10,000 yuan households, if we get rich again, what will we become?"

"Of course, it's 100,000 yuan, 10 million yuan, 10 million yuan!" Qin Gui spoke in such a loud voice that everyone present could hear it. When he finished speaking, he found that everyone present was looking at him, so he simply raised his head neatly, "Everyone will get rich if you follow me to raise chickens." ”

The villagers were amused by Qin Gui's appearance, and everyone was shouting: "Get rich, get rich!"
