"With a population of 1.2 billion people in China, do you know how much rice and white flour you need to consume every day? "What would be the consequences of liberalizing the supply of land, as you suggested? As the urban area expands, it will inevitably erode the surrounding farmland. When the farmland is reduced, what will be used to grow food? What will the people eat?"

Zhang Chen was just about to speak, Li Wanshou waved his hand angrily: "Mr. Zhang, I know that you are a big businessman and have business in all parts of China and the United States. What you businessmen like to talk about most these days is the international division of labor. I know what you want to say, international trade, after joining the WTO, anything can be bought and sold. But you have to understand that food is not the same. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is related to people's livelihood, but also to the country. In the more than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the biggest lesson we have learned is that we must not be controlled by others on the issue of grain. You are now going to liberalize the supply of land, this kind of proposal is betraying the country!"

Li Wanshou's accusation made everyone at the scene stunned, and this big hat was buttoned down, which can be called a heart-wrenching statement.

Yang Zhuping also frowned, coughed, and just wanted to speak, but saw Zhang Chen with a relaxed smile: "Secretary Li, I don't dare to betray the country or something." ”

As soon as Yang Zhuping looked at Zhang Chen's expression, he knew that this kid must have a backhand.

Sure enough, Zhang Chen Shi Ran said: "I will first answer your two questions, the first is that according to the statistics of 1996, the annual per capita grain consumption in China is 152 kilograms. According to China's population of 1.236 billion in 1997, at least 187 million tons of grain are needed to ensure that the people have enough to eat. With about 20 percent of the food losses in grain production, transportation, and storage, and the huge demand for grain from the animal husbandry and chemical industries, we need to produce at least 370 million tons of grain to ensure that every ordinary person can have enough to eat and maintain stable social and economic development. ”

Including Yang Zhuping, everyone's eyes at the scene were wide-eyed, and no one could have thought that Zhang Chen could really answer Li Wanshou's question just now.

Li Wanshou was more surprised than the others, to put it bluntly, he asked this question completely out of whim. As a prince in charge of people's livelihood, he is very clear about the agricultural data in his jurisdiction, but when it comes to the whole country, he has to use a calculator to calculate it well to get the results.

"The second question is that last year, China's average grain yield per mu was 299 kilograms, and based on this data, 370 million tons of grain need 1.237 billion mu of arable land. With the abundance of non-staple food and agricultural products, the per capita annual consumption of grain should be decreasing year by year, and the consumption of grain such as animal husbandry will increase, and in general, the peak annual consumption of grain should be about 500 million tons. Taking into account the impact of natural disasters and other factors, the total amount of cultivated land in China should not be less than 1.8 billion mu, less than 1.8 billion mu, and in extreme cases, we will not be able to guarantee China's food security. Therefore, these 1.8 billion mu should be the red line of the total amount of cultivated land in China. ”

I'll go!

Almost everyone gasped.

What did this kid grow up eating?

Everyone knew that the food problem was a temporary issue raised by Li Wanshou, and Zhang Chen could not be prepared, but Zhang Chen's series of data came casually, and there was no jerkiness at all.

How could he possibly know everything?

When everyone was shocked and speechless, the corners of Zhang Chen's mouth curled slightly: "Secretary Li, I have finished answering your two questions just now, I have a question I want to ask you now, and I ask you to give me advice." ”

Li Wanshou chuckled in his heart, and the cold sweat came down, and just as he wanted to interrupt, he heard Zhang Chen gently knock on the table: "I want to ask, do you know how much cultivated land is in the country at present, how much was last year, what was the year before last, and what is the trend of the total amount of cultivated land?"

Li Wanshou opened his mouth, you ask him about the area of cultivated land in his jurisdiction, and he thinks about it and can answer eight or nine, but you ask the whole country。。。。。。

I'm not a Premier, the real Premier is sitting on the sidelines, and it's kind of you asking him to go.

"1,947 million mu, this is the official data of the National Bureau of Statistics. Last year, it was 1.95 billion mu, and the year before that, it was 1.952 billion mu. What about the year before last?" Zhang Chen smiled, "It's a pity that there is no data from the year before last, and the Ministry of Agriculture only began to recount the cultivated land area of the country in 96, but according to estimates, the minimum cultivated land area in 95 years will not be less than 1,955 million mu." ”

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Chen narrowed, "Even before the housing commercialization reform, the area of cultivated land has been decreasing!"

"I would like to ask if we can prevent the reduction of cultivated land if we can control the sale of residential land, why is our arable land disappearing at a rate of 3 million mu per year!?"

Li Wanshou calmed himself: "This is the inevitable result of economic development, the city is getting bigger and bigger, of course, the arable land will be less and less, but increasing the supply of land will exacerbate this contradiction, which is why we have to control the transfer of residential land." ”

Zhang Chen smiled dumbly: "In this way, I can keep the cultivated area? I have heard a word since I was a child, sit and eat the empty mountain." I am afraid that in less than ten years, this 1.95 billion mu of cultivated land will fall below the red line of 1.8 billion mu!"

Li Wanshou seized the loophole: "Of course we will open up the source, such as encouraging farmers to open up wasteland and convert more wasteland into arable land, which is also what we have been doing!"

Zhang Chen sighed, shook his head and smiled: "Encourage wasteland?" Haha, Secretary Li, you should know that in your jurisdiction, the labor force population is outflowing, and 99% of these laborers are farmers, who go out to work, and they don't even plant their own land, so you let them go to open up the wasteland? Do you have the budget?"

"I!" Li Wanshou was speechless, in front of Yang Zhuping, he didn't dare to talk nonsense and promise, and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, "Mr. Zhang, what you said is so lively, it means that the pot is broken, and it will fall below 1.8 billion mu anyway, and there will be no acre of land left, right?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "Of course not, on the contrary, what I want to say is that as long as the policy is reasonable, we can not only ensure sufficient supply of residential land, but also ensure that the area of cultivated land does not decrease, or even increases." ”

Li Wanshou was so angry that he smoked, what kind of thing? Is the policy reasonable? Do you know what it means to set a policy? Do you think it is so simple to set a feasible policy? A milky little kid dares to make a reasonable policy on the premise of so many old fritters?

Li Wanshou laughed angrily: "Okay, well, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang already has a solution, so I'll listen to Mr. Zhang and listen to what clever means Mr. Zhang wants to use to solve this contradiction!"

Zhang Chen pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Li Wanshou's words, and waved his hand: "It's not clever, it's just more attentive." ”

Li Wanshou almost didn't hold back his breath, suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and made a gesture to Zhang Chen.

"I have a name for this plan, land ticket, land ticket policy. ”

Zhang Chen still had a harmless smile on his face, full of confidence.

When I went home yesterday, I was going to wake up and write again, but I didn't expect to fall asleep at half past eight in the evening, and I woke up at ten o'clock in the morning.
