CHAPTER XXV. 1
As the car slowed down, Qi Tianxiang's thoughts were pulled back from his memories, knowing that his destination had arrived. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi had already gotten out of the car, standing on the side of the road and waiting, Xiao Wang skillfully drove the special car, slowly parked behind the guide car, and slowly stopped before turning off the engine.
"Secretary Qi, we've arrived." Feng Juncai pulled the car door with a smile on his face and said seriously, "Let's take a look at the growth of the crops here first, and then go into the village to see the life of the peasant families." ”
Qi Tianxiang stretched out his legs and stepped out of the car door, stood up straight, and glanced at Feng Juncai with a calm expression, before slowly casting his gaze on the crops on the side of the road, compared to the reilly-like plot he saw just now, the green here was more neat and complete.
In the large cultivated land that can not be seen at a glance, all the corn is planted, it has passed the season of heading and flowering, the flower ears on the top of the tall corn stalk have slowly withered, the wide corn leaves stretch arbitrarily, as if to hide something, the breeze blows through the dark green leaves, revealing the ears of corn that are gradually full, proudly facing the eyes of attention.
"The corn here is planted in a row, thousands of acres of land, I am afraid that you will say that we have arranged it in advance, so I just found a place to stop." Feng Juncai saw Qi Tianxiang's eyes full of joy and satisfaction, so he had the courage to say cautiously: "This is the cultivated land of Qinghe Village, why don't we take a walk and have a look?" ”
Qi Tianxiang glanced at Feng Juncai, and knew very well what he meant to speak, both the component of showing merit and the deep sense of temptation, so he didn't follow the meaning of his words, but looked at the endless cornfield and said slowly: "How many acres is there in this cornfield?" ”
"Initially, there should be about 3,000 acres, and there are nearly 5,000 acres of plots along the river, which are all planted in a contiguous and centralized manner, unified management, unified planning, if you count other plots, Qinghe Village's corn planting this autumn will be more than 10,000 acres." Feng Juncai roughly calculated and clearly reported the number of acres, it seems that he should have an accurate number of these, "This is only one village in Qinghe, and the situation in other villages is not very consistent, but the general situation is similar." ”
Qi Tianxiang didn't speak, walked a few steps slowly, entered the cornfield, and went forward in the ridges between the corn trees that were taller than his height, carefully inspected the length and number of ears of corn, and thought for a while before slowly walking out of the cornfield, walking back to Feng Juncai, and asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "What do you mean by the continuous concentrated planting you just mentioned?" ”
"The main thing is that the village will take back the arable land, assign professionals to manage it centrally, and the cultivation and field management are all unified operations, and the income will be distributed according to the amount of cultivated land after deducting costs and management expenses. The ownership of land also belongs to individual peasant households, and the right to use it belongs to the village collective, and the peasants have a more appropriate name, called 'land bank'. Feng Juncai seemed to have been waiting for Qi Tianxiang's question for a long time, answered easily but seriously, and then beckoned to Xiang Youzhi, but said modestly: "This is the way that the peasants choose spontaneously, and they should be specifically arrested by the county magistrate, or let him report to you in detail, which can be clearer than what I said." ”
Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Feng Juncai's approach, and also admired his way of doing things, there is concentration between the top leaders of the party and government, and there must also be a division of labor, and not taking power and merit is the basic requirement of the top leaders of the party committee, and it is also the basis for whether the team is united. Obviously, Feng Juncai is very clear about this and has done it very well. Therefore, he glanced at him deeply with gentle eyes, turned to Xiang Youzhi, who came closer, and said with a slight smile: "Then please ask Xiao Xiang County Magistrate to tell us about it, and we can understand it if we look at it carefully, right?" ”
"In field agriculture, efficiency is the biggest problem that plagues input, and the situation in Heyang County is less than two acres of land per capita, and a family is only five or six acres of land at best, and the population is only a dozen acres, and the benefits are minimal. It is said that it is a state of income with more than enough food and clothing, and it is more than enough to solve the problem of eating, but it is difficult to meet the requirements of a higher level. Xiang Youzhi said slowly and methodically, as if he wanted to make his words as clear as possible, "At the beginning of reform and opening up, the purpose of dividing the land into households was to solve the problem of food and clothing for the peasants and to solve the practical problem of having enough to eat, and it seemed that the problem of increasing income and efficiency was not given too much thought. With the development of economy and society, social life is becoming more and more diversified, and it is increasingly difficult for land to meet the needs of farmers and the requirements for improving the quality of life. Don't invest it, after all, it's cultivated land, it's distressed to abandon it, try your best to farm, and the output is pitiful. A few acres or a dozen acres of land, the income of two crops a year is only a few thousand or more than 10,000 yuan, but a middle-aged laborer can't do it, and the whole family needs to help when the farm is busy. A few thousand or more than 10,000 yuan was an income in the past, but now you can easily get it by going out and doing a short-term job. Therefore, the land has become a drag, and has become a tight spell that binds the peasants' body and mind, and in desperation, they can only adopt extensive cultivation methods, and when the farm is busy, the strong laborers work nervously for a few days, and then go out to work and leave, and the crops are left to the old people at home to take care of, or no one to take care of them at all, and when it comes to the harvest season, they hurriedly hire a machine to harvest things. There is no deep ploughing and intensive field management at all, and even the links of fertilization and watering are omitted, just like what you saw outside Hexi Village just now, all kinds of land, planting everything, no one cares about other people's affairs, the result of relying on the sky to eat is that the land is compacted, the fertility is reduced, and finally there is basically no output. ”
Xiang Youzhi said very carefully, very seriously, and also had a rap, but Qi Tianxiang listened very patiently and attentively, perhaps Qi Tianxiang's expression encouraged Xiang Youzhi's emotions, and continued to say seriously: "Our Heyang County is a traditional agricultural county, except for a few towns near the mountainous area, most of them are in the alluvial plain of the Lingshui Basin, the land is flat and contiguous, the fertility is good, and it is very suitable for crop production and mechanized operations. However, due to the fact that the ownership of the land has been virtually cut off after the contract, the overall farmland water conservancy facilities can not be invested, the previously built ones cannot be used and maintained, and they are basically in a state of abandonment, and large-scale agricultural machinery cannot be carried out, and it is difficult to popularize and apply new agricultural science and technology and excellent seeds, and there is a phenomenon of regression in a sense. ”
"We have also tried many ways to deal with this situation, including the introduction of intensive planting and contract farming, as well as land circulation with better results, but due to the 'cabbage incident' that occurred a few years ago, the side effects have not been completely eliminated, and farmers no longer believe in any form of joint or large-scale operation, and are also suspicious of land circulation, preferring extensive land cultivation rather than handing it over." In such a passive situation, Qinghe Village carried out the management method of land collection and collective management, which we thought was very good, but we still cautiously followed it for nearly a year before we began to summarize their practices and promote them in the townships along the river in the county. ”
Perhaps worried that Qi Tianxiang would be impatient, Xiang Youzhi sped up the speed of his narration, Qi Tianxiang quickly realized the change in Xiang Youzhi, and said gently with a slight smile: "You don't have to worry, speak slowly, carefully and thoroughly, so that I can understand." As he spoke, he turned his face to Feng Juncai and instructed, "Let your cadres go first, and what they look like when they all stand on the side of the road." ”
"It's okay, let them wait!" Feng Juncai glanced at the entourage standing far away, because there was no permission, no one dared to come to him, so he tentatively said to Qi Tianxiang: "I don't think it will work, let them accompany Deputy Secretary-General Yao to the village first, and make arrangements for it, without notifying the village in advance, the rural conditions are limited, and I am afraid that they will be in a hurry when the time comes." ”
Qi Tianxiang nodded, agreed to Feng Juncai's suggestion, looked at Feng Juncai's figure that turned away, thought for a while, turned his face, smiled and said to Xiang Youzhi: "You go on!" ”
After Xiang Youzhi got Qi Tianxiang's encouragement and approval, he grinned, helped his glasses that had slipped a little, and said seriously: "Compared with renting land to large households, farmers trust the village-level organization more. In addition, the villagers believe that they have the right to vote for village cadres, which can restrict the behavior and part of the decision-making of village cadres, and more importantly, with the disclosure of village-level accounts, they can supervise the management and use of collective funds in the village. In fact, the villagers' worries are still the ownership of the land, once the land is transferred, whether it can still come back as scheduled, the land after returning is still not the original state, and the benefits of a family are difficult to effectively guarantee, in the event of natural disasters or **, the biggest victim is the honest farmers. ”
Seeing Qi Tianxiang's focused expression, Xiang Youzhi continued: "The land handed over to the village is equivalent to the existence of the village, which is not only safe, but also profitable, which is why the villagers aptly call it the 'land bank'." In the selection of seeds, the selection of varieties, cultivation, fertilization, watering, and field management, the village has relied on its own rich experience, and also accepted the guidance of professional and technical personnel, deep ploughing, and mechanized operations, which not only brought into play the characteristics of large-scale agriculture of collective planting, but also improved the yield per mu and unit efficiency. ”
In order to strengthen his point of view, Xiang Youzhi pointed to the corn in front of him and said: "Like this piece of corn, if each family grows it, it is difficult to form such a uniform growth, this summer the temperature is high, the drought is more serious, but such a plot has not been seriously affected, not only to ensure the seedling condition, but also to ensure the yield and income." It is no exaggeration to say that without considering the income of corn, the income of straw alone can increase the income of 100 yuan per mu! ”
"Oh, that's amazing." Qi Tianxiang looked at Youzhi with a smile, and said in a comfortable mood: "Then according to you, an agricultural expert, how much income can be gained per mu here!" ”
"The yield per mu is 15,600 catties, and the single-season income of 2,000 yuan can still be guaranteed." Xiang Youzhi carefully calculated, full of confidence said: "They sown this year is the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences Seed Institute of the 'Xianyou 002', with strong stability, high seedling rate, drought tolerance and resistance to pests and diseases, the test stage of the yield per mu can reach 1,000 kilograms, this year is the second year of the large-scale promotion of this seed, the seed institute attaches great importance to it, not only sent people to carry out detailed technical guidance, but also many times to the field management of one-to-one free service, so that our farmers have received great benefits. ”
"This is very good, any form of exploitation of the interests of the peasants, no matter what kind of beautiful banner it is waving, should attract the attention of our governments at all levels. Nothing is as real as the connection of agricultural science, nothing is as reliable as the real income of farmers, and no flower is as warm as the bright smile on the face of farmers. Qi Tianxiang said lyrically, showing a happy smile to Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi, and couldn't help but praise, "Your guidance is very meaningful and necessary, don't just think about political achievements and prosperity, really swoop down, develop the local economy according to local conditions, not greedy for perfection, nor grandstanding, and do things for the people seriously, so that the reputation is taller and more solid than any monument." ”
Seeing that Qi Tianxiang was in a good mood, Feng Juncai said softly: "Secretary Qi, do you think we should go to the next stop?" ”
"What are you going to show me at the next stop?" Qi Tianxiang looked at Feng Juncai with great interest, as if he had an answer on his face, "It won't be another 10,000 mu or something!" I get nervous now when I hear the word 10,000 acres. ”
"Don't say it, it's really 10,000 acres, but this 10,000 acres is full of flowers, pleasant scenery, and beautiful scenery." Feng Juncai pretended to have the courage to tease Qi Tianxiang, and also put on a lyrical look and said: "Please take a look at the sea of flowers in the 10,000 acres of lotus ponds, and ensure that you will not be nervous." ”
"Then go check it out." Qi Tianxiang looked at Feng Juncai kindly, and said jokingly to Xiang Youzhi: "Don't move it, it's 10,000 mu, 10,000 mu, do you have a soft spot for 10,000 mu?" Is 9,999 acres good, and 10,000 acres bad? Everything sticks to 10,000 words, be careful of full of damage! ”
"In fact, it's just nonsense, screaming and screaming, such a big reservoir, who knows how big the water surface area is, how big the lotus planting area is!" Xiang Youzhi's face flushed slightly, and he said proudly: "Anyway, it's true that you can't see the edge at a glance." ”
As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang walked with Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi to the car parked on the side of the road, because Feng Juncai had just made arrangements, the entourage left a few first, Yao Ling also left with them, Qi Tianxiang got into his car, or followed Feng Juncai's car and slowly left the corn planting area, and continued to drive along the county and township roads.
It didn't seem to have gone far before the car stopped. Qi Tianxiang's eyes were greeted by a huge water surface rippling with blue waves, and green lotus leaves on the water surface, the huge leaves covered the water surface, forming a huge green satin-like painting screen.
Qi Tianxiang didn't wait for Feng Juncai and the others to get out of the car, he hurriedly got out of the car, walked quickly to the edge of the reservoir, and watched the scenery in front of him with great interest, and his mood seemed to suddenly brighten up with the beautiful scenery in front of him.
"This is a reservoir built in Qinghe Village, which is renovated and expanded by using the original reservoir, which not only effectively ensures the irrigation water for most of the cultivated land, but also improves the surrounding ecological environment to a certain extent." Feng Juncai walked quickly to Qi Tianxiang's side and introduced in detail: "This reservoir is the result of the vigorous construction of water conservancy projects in the process of communization, and it is also to solve the drinking water and irrigation problems in dozens of villages far away from the Lingshui River, such as Qinghe Village, through the participation of the whole people. The hoarding of the Lingshui River not only solved the problem of drinking water and cultivated irrigation for farmers in several nearby towns and towns, but also played a huge role in flood control during the flood season and ensured the safety of the lower reaches of the Lingshui River. ”
Feng Juncai saw Qi Tianxiang's calm and serene expression, and knew that he was willing to listen to him continue to tell, so he said slowly: "After decades of use, the reservoir has always been jointly managed by the county and Qinghe Village, until a few years ago, the county stripped off the bloated institutions and personnel, and completely dumped the reservoir management to Qinghe Village, but due to the weakening of the irrigation function, especially the implementation of the project of tap water entering the village, the reservoir has been increasingly neglected, coupled with disrepair, it has become a hanging river full of hidden dangers. The county has no energy to intervene, and the village has no money to renovate, so it has been dragged out like this, and there is no good solution to it. ”
"This is thanks to Secretary Feng, if he hadn't made up his mind to transform and expand, there would really be no such scene in front of him." Xiang Youzhi took Feng Juncai's words, and said to Qi Tianxiang with feelings: "After Secretary Feng took office, the first thing he paid attention to was the hidden danger investigation work, after seeing the problems and hidden dangers of this reservoir, he kept going to the water conservancy bureau to reflect the situation, and went deep into Qinghe Village to do patient and meticulous ideological work, and finally explained all aspects many times, not only won the matching funds for the maintenance and reinforcement of the reservoir in the provinces and cities, but also mobilized the people of Qinghe Village to contribute, and completely renovated the reservoir once, and also increased the storage capacity by more than three times. It has become a famous water park. ”
Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Xiang Youzhi's praise of Feng Juncai, and he heard it from the heart, and he had a number of the unity and coordination of this team in his heart, looking at Feng Juncai's slightly shy expression, and teasingly: "Ao, that's the case, tell me how you talked about the work of Tongqinghe Village, and how you made a wish." ”
"Actually, I didn't do anything, don't listen to the county magistrate." Feng Juncai's square face was covered with a layer of red, and he looked at Qi Tianxiang embarrassedly, seeing that Qi Tianxiang's eyes were full of kindness, he said slowly: "Knowing with affection and moving with reason, it is all blind, in fact, it is aimed at the weakness of Qinghe Village." ”
Looking at Qi Tianxiang's puzzled expression, Feng Juncai said honestly: "This is my understanding of rural and agricultural work, which is not necessarily very upright, but it is really effective in a sense. It is indispensable to treat the peasants, as well as some peasants who are not very far away, not only to fight with them, but also to fight with them. ”
