From the county to the east is the provincial highway leading to the direction of Maba, if you want to build Duyi Expressway in the future, then it is also to follow this direction all the way to the east, 58 kilometers away is the county seat of Maba.

But it is these 58 kilometers, if you take the provincial road, it takes one hour and forty minutes, which is still in good weather conditions, and there are often clouds and fog conditions in the mountains, so that the driving force has to be reduced to less than 30 kilometers per hour.

"Tubekou Town is 13 kilometers away from the county seat, is the second largest town in the county after Chengguan Town, and from Chengguan Town to Tubekou Town, more than 10 kilometers along the river valley, should be regarded as one of the most important industrial and agricultural areas in Baoling County, the largest Pingba River valley area, the main output is wheat and corn, part of the area near the foothills is dominated by alpine potatoes, and some areas with lower terrain are also planted with Chinese medicinal materials,......"

There were three people sitting on Sha Zhengyang's land patrol, Xiong Xiangkuijia County Magistrate Qiao Zhiming and Sha Zhengyang.

Under Sha Zhengyang's repeated persuasion, Tan Kaishan, secretary of the county party committee, did not follow the investigation, otherwise it would be too much, he was just a deputy director of the provincial development and planning commission who played the front station, and if he made such a big move, a commissioner of the administrative department would accompany him, and he would have to catch up with a large group of people from the first secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate of a county, and it would be easy to be criticized.

This section of the road from the county is not bad, the 13-kilometer road only took less than half an hour to arrive, and two or three kilometers further east along the town of Guankou, the river valley began to narrow, and the mountains on both sides can also be seen to be more majestic and steep.

The car stopped on the side of the road, accompanied by the senior party officials and mayors of Guankou Town, Xiong Xiangkui, Sha Zhengyang and others got off the road, walked directly from the road to the side of the mountain, and walked out for a kilometer or two, the terrain began to rise, and then went up, it was already a relatively low slope.

Standing still, Sha Zhengyang and Xiong Xiangkui looked at Kui from afar, the higher the mountain went, of course, there were some gentle ups and downs in between, and there were some passes for road traffic.

"Director Sha, you also saw this area in the car just now, it is one of the most important agricultural belts in our Baoling, along the river valley, wheat and corn are the main crops, and you have also seen that when you reach this line, it will mainly become a mixed area of bud valley and artichoke, and then go up to the artichoke and medicinal herbs to interplant ,......."

"County Magistrate Qiao, how many crop belts like this are there in the county, I mean this kind of crop belt that can provide stable production capacity, what is the approximate situation?" Sha Zhengyang asked thoughtfully.

"The Baoxi River originates in the Baoling Mountains, but there are many tributaries, of which the two tributaries like Fengxi and Hexi are the most important, and there are several towns along Fengxi and Hexi, which are basically built in the river valley area, well, there are probably seven or eight similar river valley areas, but the scale must not be compared with the county seat, from west to east, Meideng Town - Chengguan Town - In Guankou Town, this line of agricultural production belt is about 20 kilometers, with occasional ups and downs and narrowing areas, but in general, it is still a flat dam area, and the others are much smaller, that is, three or five kilometers, at most no more than seven or eight kilometers, and it is not so wide. ”

Qiao Zhiming is still very familiar with the county situation, and he has not yet figured out why Sha Zhengyang cares so much about agricultural production, but since he asked, he still introduced it realistically.

"County Magistrate Qiao, in my opinion, this line is mainly based on grain crops, so which areas are your tea mountains and medicinal herbs mainly concentrated?" Sha Zhengyang was not very satisfied, looking at pure crop planting, it was not his purpose, what he had to do now was to assess the potential of the county to develop the agricultural product processing industry.

After Qiao Zhiming was stunned, he hurriedly said: "Director Sha, the planting of tea mountains is mainly concentrated in Meideng Township, Baogou Township, Qihe Township, Sanlie Township, Guiqiao Town and several other townships, the terrain of these towns is much higher than here, except for Meideng Town, several other towns are not in the valley area, most of them are on the gentle slope and halfway up the mountainside, you should be clear, the cultivation and planting of tea planting soil climate and water quality have special requirements, our Baoling is a famous ecological tea planting base, alpine selenium-rich cloud tea is a famous specialty in the region, famous all over the world......"

"County Magistrate Qiao, I know all of this, Gaoshan selenium-rich cloud tea should be regarded as a specialty of the region, but I think we haven't done it yet, and we haven't done it well. Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "Commissioner Xiong, as far as I know, Baoling, Laifeng, Maba and other counties in this mountainous area of the high mountain selenium-rich cloud tea tea tea garden construction actually began more than 10 years ago, but one is a small scale, the second is that the tea cultivation is still in the low-level stage, the third is the weak sense of brand building, the fourth is the lack of marketing means, this morning I see a few tea factories can know a little bit about one or two, not to mention going abroad to make a reputation, even I, who has always been very fond of tea, began to contact the situation of Wuling when I knew that our Wuling high mountain selenium-rich cloud tea actually has more than a dozen brands, but none of the brands are really well-known in the province, which makes people embarrassed？”

Sha Zhengyang's words made Qiao Zhiming and Xiong Xiangkui a little embarrassed.

In fact, this is not a problem of Baoling County, Baoling, Laifeng, Maba, Jueshan, Wanzhang, Luodu these counties have self-advertised as the most authentic selenium-rich alpine green tea production place, self-boasting and slandering each other, several counties as many as twenty or thirty tea factories, tea gardens are more than 100, any tea factory tea garden can register a trademark, the result is that no one's reputation has started, everyone is still in the most primitive original tea stage.

Tea merchants who come in from outside enter the tea garden at will to buy and arbitrarily reduce prices, while local manufacturers are small in scale and weak in brand power, and it is difficult to digest too much tea, so in the end, the added value of the industrial chain is not fully reflected, and more are reduced to raw material suppliers.

However, Sha Zhengyang's interest in the tea industry still makes Xiong Xiangkui and Qiao Zhiming a little excited, at least there is one thing that can still make Sha Zhengyang look at it, they are not afraid of Sha Zhengyang's harsh criticism and ridicule, they are afraid that Sha Zhengyang will not say anything after reading it, that is really not interested in your place.

Mourning is greater than dying, and I have no interest in your place, which means that you have nothing to do in this place, how can you seek development?

"Director Zhengyang, you mean that we can make a difference in the tea industry, and we also know that our tea industry is not doing satisfactorily, but you also know that brand building is not such a simple thing, and it also involves the interests of several counties, I am afraid it is difficult to bridge the ,......"

Xiong Xiangkui sighed, he didn't know what Sha Zhengyang said, but how do you coordinate and deal with it?

You Baoling said that you are the first green tea in the high mountains, and I dare to say that I am the number one green tea rich in selenium, so Jueshan dares to blow that the quality of my green tea is the first in the country in the high mountains and selenium-rich level, anyway, there is no clear standard, everyone is high in the mountains, all rich in selenium, why can you and I can't use it?

"The solution is thought up by people, but everyone rushes to the top, there are seven or eight tea factories in a county, each blowing its own trumpet, each singing its own tune, then it can only stay at the lowest end of the original tea production, which can be sold for two or three hundred or even three or five hundred and one catties of tea, can only be sold cheaply at a price of twenty or thirty yuan a catty, and the difference in interest rates in the middle, I don't believe that no one is tempted. Sha Zhengyang said lightly.

Sha Zhengyang didn't say it, he left room for it, he believed that Xiong Xiangkui and Qiao Zhiming should understand what they meant, as for how to operate the integration, that is the next step, and it can be studied specifically.

This topic came to an end, Sha Zhengyang walked along the side of the mountain and disappeared for half a while, and a few words could be faintly seen from the somewhat dilapidated signs on the roadside, 10,000 acres of Coptis chinensis planting base.

"This is your medicinal herb planting base in Guankou Town?" Sha Zhengyang straightened the wooden plaque and asked in a deep voice: "Ten thousand mu, is this data reliable?"

"Director Sha, this 10,000 mu is just an imaginary number, in fact, since 88 years, the scale of medicinal material planting in Baoling has been ten years old, but the cultivation of medicinal materials is one thing, it is not simple to become a real banknote in the people's bags, and if you don't get it, you have to lose all your money and owe a lot of debt. ”

Qiao Zhiming didn't hide anything, Sha Zhengyang told him, covering up at this time is a stupid move of the group, giving you the opportunity to explain the problem clearly, and find a way to solve it from above, you still have to hide it, then it is really self-isolation from the people and from the organization.

Sha Zhengyang nodded.

This is true, there is no pharmaceutical company or a nearby medicinal herb wholesale market to backing up the medicinal herb planting base, the risk is quite large.

In Wanzhou, the main reason why the medicinal material planting and planting industry in Dongxia can flourish for a while is not that the major pharmaceutical companies of Handong Pharmaceutical Group, Wanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory and Wanzhou Pharmaceutical No. 2 Factory are the bottom line for the purchase of medicinal materials in the county, so that farmers can throw away all their burdens and be busy with planting and cultivation to improve production capacity and quality.

Compared with the pharmaceutical industry in Wanzhou, the pharmaceutical industry in Baoling and even Wuling is not worth mentioning at all, not at the same level.

But Baoling has a history of cultivating Chinese herbal medicine, and there is also a pharmaceutical factory in the county, but it is not well managed and is in trouble, how to solve this problem, Sha Zhengyang still dare not say.

"In addition, Coptis chinensis, our county's magnolia, lily, atractylodes, and cork have planting bases, and their planting areas range from hundreds of acres to thousands of acres, but they all have a considerable scale, but in recent years, the price of medicinal materials has fluctuated greatly, which has made the farmers in our county suffer heavy losses, and also seriously dampened the production enthusiasm of farmers in the county,......"

In this area, Qiao Zhiming is even more irritable than the tea industry, although the tea is scattered and cannot form a brand and scale, but there are still a few tea factories and tea gardens, at least tea farmers can still make a living by planting tea, and the price of tea is cheap but can always be sold.

However, Chinese herbal medicines are different, and their price fluctuations are too large, and the purchase price gap of several times or even more than ten times has appeared, which is easy to drive ordinary farmers into the abyss, so this piece is particularly worrying.
