Chapter 127 Poverty alleviation has a long way to go
As for the task of poverty alleviation, it is a strong bunker, since the goal of a well-off life was proposed, this bunker has not been breached for a long time, and whoever touches it will break his head. It turns out that there are many reasons. The biggest reason is the poverty caused by the natural environment, mountainous areas, stone mountains, and few lands, and those lands are all tofu corners, a small piece in the east and a small piece in the west. Because there is little earth, it can only be pulled out of the cracks in the stones. Like Hechi Baise in Xiguang Province, these old revolutionary areas have continuous stone mountains and few land. The large saline-alkali desert in the west lacks water resources, not to mention those next door, let's say Shaanxi, Shanxi, these Loess Plateau areas, lack of water resources, can only grow corn, sorghum, red dates, walnuts and other cold-tolerant crops. To the west, there are contiguous sand dunes, and what can be planted? These are the poverty caused by the natural environment.
There is also poverty caused by irrational policies. In the 60s of the last century, there were only a few people in a natural village, with a population of about 100 in dozens of households, and in the 80s, when the production was divided into households, there were less than 200 people. At that time, it was contracted to households, and each household was divided according to the head of the adult. A natural village has 300 acres of paddy fields and 300 acres of mountainous land. According to the adult 120 people, there are more than 2 acres of paddy fields and more than 2 acres of mountainous land. At that time, the fields of the collective production team were divided, and each household had a lot of fields, and the production team still had collective fields left.
Decades have passed, and the population of the small mountain village has skyrocketed, reaching more than 600 people. The main thing is that the land will not change for 30 years and 50 years. This has led to a lot of problems, and there is a serious imbalance in the distribution of land in the village. It is still in accordance with the distribution policy when the production was distributed to households in the 80s of the last century. In other words, there were many fields in that household, but there are still many fields now. More than 30 years have passed, the population of each household has changed greatly, those big girls have been married when they were distributed, many old people have passed away long ago, and many middle-aged people have also passed away one after another. At that time, there were two old people, plus two husbands and wives, a total of 4 points of land, but more than 30 years of development, this family has branched out, developed to more than 20 people, so many people, just 4 pieces of land, 8 acres of paddy fields, 8 acres of mountainous land, how to live, even food and clothing has not been solved. If in the future, when those children grow up and marry daughters-in-law, it will be even more difficult when they give birth to children and grow to 40 people. There is little land and many people, and it is difficult to eat. These families have no other way but to go out to work and earn money and have another way out, so they stay at home and wait for death. However, there are also households with a lot of land, and when the fields were divided, the family was very prosperous. Thirty years in the west of the river and thirty years in the east of the river, feng shui takes turns. The family is in decline, and there are only a few people left. Then they became landlords and rented their land to other landless families.
There are also many people who are poor due to natural and man-made disasters due to accidents, natural disasters, car accidents that are fiercer than tigers, etc., and how many people are disabled every year because of car accidents. And how many tragedies have caused people and money to be empty because of serious illness.
Not to mention those achievements made by local government leaders for the sake of political achievements. For the goal of poverty alleviation, every leader has come up with a plan to get rid of poverty and become rich in agriculture. Today's ordinary people are frightened by these people, and they don't believe in the officials' deception for a long time. In the 90s of the last century, the "turtle worm" was that the officials mobilized the masses to buy the seeds of the "turtle worm", each pair of 50 yuan. As a result, the seed seller ran away after millions of dollars. So many farmers have lost their money, and these expensive turtle insects can only be fed to chickens.
There is also the "Ha White Rabbit" nature is the same as the turtle insect, the people worked hard to raise the rabbit, but the people ran away, and no one came to recycle it at a high price. But when looking for government officials, people are also bitter, and they can't imagine that they are also victims. In fact, these officials have eaten what they should eat and taken what they should take. People run away, and these risks are definitely not for them to bear. It's all the people who bear it. At that time, no one asked for 5 yuan for a rabbit. It is always the common people who are hurt.
In the future, moso bamboo was planted, and potatoes were planted in a large area, and so on. The common people have suffered. In this way, the government called on everyone to plant anything, but they didn't believe it, because the government is all about money, not recycling. That's why it's so difficult to carry out these poverty alleviation programs in rural areas. The main reason is that the credibility of the government is gone. No one cares about the stuff organized by the government. Even if it's true, don't want to take risks. After working hard for more than half a year, the money and efforts were in vain.
Not to mention that many of those projects were made by the government itself to fool the above and extract the support funds from above. Take those land subsidies, this is the national policy to benefit the people, and it is also where these local officials at all levels can make a big difference. There is also a breeding subsidy, which is 250 yuan per sow and 200 yuan for pigs. It's also a great place to get cheating around. Look at how expensive pork is now, and the price remains high. The big lever of the market economy has not played a role, unlike other things, if the price is expensive this year, the common people will swarm the seeds, and next year it will definitely plummet like cabbage. The price of pork has not come down, which makes people think deeply. Because of the low number of pigs, there is a great risk in raising pigs, and a few years ago, a swine fever led to the death of pigs in many farmers. The people's enthusiasm for pig raising has been hit hard. In the past, every household in the countryside raised sows and pigs, which was one of the main sources of income for the rural people. The other is raising chickens.
Several swine fever cases have led to the reluctance of farmers to breed sows and pigs. Take a well-known town with a large number of piglets. There used to be 3 pig trading markets, with 150 piglets and 1 million piglets sold every year. But now, these three markets are no longer in the scenery, and they are no longer concentrated in the town. Now it is a place for foreign piglets to be sold, and the local piglets are gone, and the pigs needed by the large pig farms that continue to raise pigs have to be brought in from outside. When it was booming, it brought a great source of revenue to the local government.
Now retail investors no longer raise, even if the cost of raising is very high, piglets need money, epidemic prevention stations cost money, feed costs money, and the cost of throwing out is basically not much money, and it is very hard. Even if there is a subsidy above, but this money, if it has no good relationship with the village officials, captains, village heads, and branch secretaries in the village, there is basically no need to think about it. It's all in their pockets.
The high cost and high risk of raising pigs excludes many retail investors, leaving only those large pig farms. Why is the current pork not as good as before, that is, it is basically impossible to buy pigs raised by retail households, and they are all instant pigs from those pig farms. These pig farms basically rely on the subsidies above to make money, which has to have a good relationship with those governments, to tie the knot, to please them, but also to share the subsidies with them.
Officials want political achievements, poverty alleviation, poverty alleviation and prosperity achievements, so mobilize the masses to engage in planting and breeding, and when there is no drama, what should they do, and they will engage in false work together with those big growers. Farmers are also in order to get a little more money they should have taken, a pig is subsidized 200 yuan, but the real hand is not 200 yuan, can have 150 yuan is good. The 50 yuan was taken by those officials. Pig farmers also have to work closely with officials. There were 100 heads in stock, and 120 heads were slaughtered every year. Officials asked themselves to report 1,000 heads. 2,000 heads were slaughtered, and the number was over, which was the cost of eating, drinking, and taking for these officials, large and small. Falsely reported it. There are actually 800 pigs in a village, but the result is 5,000 heads, and the extra 4,200 heads are subsidized with 200 yuan each, so hundreds of thousands of dollars come out. Is everyone doing it for political achievements? Just like the big satellites in those years, the yield per mu can reach 40,000 catties. I want to save face and make political achievements, but now I still have more money in my pocket. As for how to divide the money, it is not known whether it will be shared with the people in the town and county.
Every time you face an inspection, then there is a busy job. Have you ever heard that the mountains and fields are full of grass and cows and sheep? From a distance, the big leaders see that the mountains are all white, all sheep, and there are thousands of them. In fact, there were dozens of them, and the rest were dressed in white cloth.
Before they came to the top to inspect, they gathered the pigs of the whole village, and even the pigs of the whole town, and put them in several pig farms to deal with the inspection. Such a big leader saw that this pig farm was very large and there were a lot of pigs, but in fact, this was the underground people who fooled this leader as a "pig". How do you get those subsidies? What do you eat and drink, and where can your pockets bulge?
It is really difficult to lift rural people out of poverty. There is nothing to think about except to go out to work, but it is not so easy to work, and now there is a surplus of workers, and it is difficult to find work. If you are engaged in breeding, it is either swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, or avian flu. Let's just say that raising soil*, now the chicken seedlings, it costs money, and the most cheating daddy, the epidemic prevention station also needs 5 cents of the epidemic prevention fee. Each chick wears a brass ring around its foot and neck. One size smaller than the ring, this ring is still there until it is raised and sold. This is a very strange thing, and it is the only place in the country that is in Nanping. This ring is very pitiful, who is called Nanping people here like to eat white cut chicken, are the whole chicken under the pot to cook, if you want to remove this ring, then you must cut off the chicken feet, that is not good. When worshipping ancestors and praying to heaven and earth, the chicken leg is broken, which is a bad sign. So this ring, that's going to go up to the table.
It is difficult for farmers, and poverty alleviation is not so easy to support, and every year after the support is done here, many new poor households are being added. With so many disabled people added every year, most of them will basically be included in the ranks of the subsistence allowance. You go and take a look. There are still so many rural people who have lost their ability to work in aging, and the pension given above is less than 100 yuan.
