Qi Tianxiang's worries were obviously superfluous, and the participants, especially Xu Fang, Lu Shanzun and other senior leaders, fully understood the meaning of his speech, and also understood his good intentions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After Qi Tianxiang's speech, Zhao Jianzhong continued to preside over the meeting, still announcing loudly with full emotion: "Comrade Xu Fang, vice governor of the provincial government, deputy head of the leading group for deepening rural reform, and head of the leading group for the construction of small towns, is invited to speak. ā
Xu Fang seemed to have been prepared, after Zhao Jianzhong's announcement, he stood up with a smile on his face and waved to the audience in the face of warm applause, and then sat down after the applause subsided, exchanged glances with Qi Tianxiang, and slowly spoke: "I am very happy to be able to sit with the responsible persons from the province's agricultural and rural departments at all levels, especially the comrades of rural grassroots organizations, to study and deploy rural construction work, and to summarize and promote the typical experience of advanced collectives and individuals in the construction of small towns in the province. I also feel that the responsibility is heavy and the task is arduous. ā
Xu Fang knew that his awkward dialect would bring obstacles to speech, so his speech speed was very slow, and his words were as accurate and clear as possible. After a few brief opening remarks, he deliberately paused, waited for the applause of the audience to sound and subsided, and then slowly continued: "Governor Qi's speech has made the significance and requirements of this on-site meeting in small towns in the province very clear, and it has also put forward specific requirements in both theory and practice for the focus of the province's agricultural and rural work at the present stage and for a period in the future, which requires every comrade attending the meeting, especially the provincial, municipal, and county governments. and the responsible comrades in charge of agricultural and rural work, conscientiously comprehend the spirit of the meeting and implement it in practical work. ā
"As a major economic province, our province is also the main producing area of wheat, corn and other grain crops in the north, and agricultural production occupies a pivotal position in the country, and grain production has a prominent and important position in the stability of the country and society. It is precisely because of the existence of these important factors that the agriculture and agricultural production of our province are particularly important. Speaking of agricultural issues, Xu Fang gradually entered the state, his tone and tone were much more natural, and he continued with a serious expression: "The so-called agriculture is stable, the society is stable, the countryside is safe, and the society is safe. In recent years, while agriculture in our province has developed rapidly, gratifying changes have also taken place in the social stability and public order situation in the rural areas, but it goes without saying that there are many existing problems, contradictions, and hidden dangers. I will not mention the mode of agricultural development, the role of rural grassroots organizations, and especially the hollowing out of rural areas and the lack of stamina for survival and development. ā
Xu Fang spoke, paused, looked at Qi Tianxiang's expression, and then continued: "Our province is located between the river and the sea, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, hilly and mountainous, and the coastal area is large, the plains are few, the arable land is less, there are many difficulties and deficiencies in the form of agricultural development, the development of agriculture and rural economy is uneven, and the state of wealth, food and clothing, and poverty exists at the same time, which are all practical problems, which need to be taken seriously and classified and guided, and gradually solved." ā
"With the development of economy and society, especially the improvement of the level of urbanization, the modern lifestyle and prosperity of the city have produced a huge attraction, making the contradiction of low output and low income of agricultural production increasingly prominent, and the current situation of low standard of rural living is increasingly abandoned by young people, and more and more people choose to leave the countryside and pursue a higher standard of life. In a certain sense, this has weakened the driving force for the development of agricultural production, and has directly affected the efficient development of agricultural production and the improvement of rural areas and peasants' livelihoods. "On the other hand, the decline in rural income levels has directly brought about the poverty of spiritual and cultural life in rural areas, which is in sharp contrast to the prosperity and noisy cities." In addition to the gap between urban and rural areas, the weakening of vitality and cohesion is to a large extent also closely related to the weakening of rural grassroots organizations, especially collective strength. ā
Xu Fang paused again, pointed to the Qinghe Reservoir with interest, raised his voice and said: "Compared with some villages without a leader, this is also a rural area, with beautiful scenery and fragrant birds, this is a place that urban people envy and yearn for, and there are many of them in our province. Although the forms of the rich and civilized new countryside are different, the essence is the same, that is, the peasants live and work in peace and contentment, live a prosperous and stable life, and have a rich and colorful spiritual and cultural life, and the consistent characteristic of these villages is that while the income of the villagers increases, the collective economy is also steadily improving, and it occupies an important role in the economic composition, so as to ensure the overall stability and improvement of development, and to protect the vital interests of every villager. ā
"We should not ignore the reality that agriculture, rural areas and farmers are closely linked, and at the same time they are relatively fragile, requiring special care from governments at all levels and special care from all aspects, which is not an appeal, but a requirement." Xu Fang became stern, and then said: "Whether it is agricultural production, the application of agricultural science and technology, or the improvement of rural living facilities, or the improvement of daily life, it is the construction of this small town, relying on the efforts of one household alone, relying on the strength of the peasants themselves, it is simply impossible to do, and this must give full play to the collective strength of governments at all levels, all agriculture-related units, and all grassroots organizations to jointly do a good job in the guarantee of rural areas and farmers, which is also what we should do and must do conscientiously." ā
Xu Fang's speech aroused warm and protracted applause, so he had to pause again, and only after the applause subsided did he continue: "This year, through the efforts of all levels and departments, the agricultural production of our province has overcome the adverse effects of spring drought, summer floods, and autumn insect pests. On this basis, our government departments at all levels, especially those related to agriculture, should seize the favorable situation of this year's bumper harvest in grain production, take advantage of the opportunity of this on-site meeting on the construction of small towns in the province, conscientiously explore effective ways for rural development and stability, learn from successful experiences, solve practical problems in rural development, and let the rural areas rejuvenate themselves and become a beautiful home in the minds of peasants and urban people. ā
Xu Fang ended his speech, and also won the long-lasting applause of the audience, so that Zhao Jianzhong could only wait for a long time before announcing loudly again: "Comrade Lu Shanzun, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee, is invited to deliver an important speech." ā
After Zhao Jianzhong's introduction, Lu Shanzun stood up with a slight smile, once the tall and burly body stood, like an iron tower, after standing in front of everyone for a while, he slowly sat down, exchanged glances with Qi Tianxiang, and then said slowly: "The province's small town construction site meeting was held in Heyang County, which is not only the provincial government's affirmation of our city's agricultural and rural work, but also a spur to us, on behalf of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government, to the provincial government and Governor Qi, Vice Governor Xu, As well as the friends of the brother cities participating in the meeting, I would like to express my deepest gratitude! ā
After the applause, Lu Shanzun continued: "Heyang County is the main agricultural county in our city, and it is also an economically underdeveloped area, but it is such a relatively poor area, but it presents us with such a quiet and serene, beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers like a paradise, which has to make people feel surprised, but what should be more surprising is the people who have created these miracles in the world. I think this is the significance of the on-site meeting at the Qinghe Reservoir. ā
In their speeches, Governor Qi and Vice Governor Xu repeatedly emphasized the fundamental significance of agriculture and rural work, the importance of rural stability to the stability of the whole society, and the important role played by rural party organizations, especially peasant autonomous organizations, and collective economic development in rural stability and the improvement of peasants' living standards. These speeches are very timely and of practical guiding significance. Lu Shanzun looked at the audience with a serene expression, and said slowly but in a deep tone: "The role of the on-site meeting is that not only can be heard, but also seen, facts always speak louder than words, what we all see in front of us is Qinghe Village in Shanqian Township, Heyang County, the changes here are a significant example, that is, the village party branch and village committee, mobilize and lead the people of the whole village, relying on hard work and sweat, to renovate the reservoir, plant trees and lotuses, and develop rural tourism and farm entertainment, The former poor ravine has undergone earth-shaking changes. ā
Lu Shanzun looked around the rostrum, exchanged glances with Qi Tianxiang, Xu Fang and Liang Bingyu, turned to face the audience and continued: "These changes are real, and they are obvious to everyone. Just imagine, such a huge project and huge capital investment, can a family do it? The answer is clearly no. If it is invested by a certain capital group or individual, will it benefit all the villagers? Because there is no ready-made answer, I will not make arbitrary comments, but the reality is that no matter what form of input, the current state is the best, and it is also the most praised and most satisfactory for all the villagers and the people, and the most benefited, this is the new socialist countryside, and this is the common prosperity that our people yearn for and look forward to. ā
As he spoke, Lu Shanzun stretched out his hand more provocatively, pointed to the distance and said: "Then we all have to see that the scenery is more beautiful and spectacular than the green mountains and green waters, that is our new countryside, that is the happy life of the villagers of Qinghe, I hope everyone will find the answer in the comparison, and find motivation in the comparison, which is more realistic than any meeting requirements and theoretical preaching." ā
