Dusty came out of his grandfather's reception room and "went upstairs to see the milk......

The situation in Mu Lao's house is much more lively than Xiao Lao's, except for Ye Yuling, the uncle's family is seven, the aunt's family is four and a half, and the second aunt's family is three. The three of the three aunts and the family are all here!

Xiao Zhen didn't get this news before, and when he suddenly saw that his grandmother's room was full of people, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This year's reunion, it's all here?" Then he smiled and said hello one by one.

The uncle's family now has the largest number of people, Xiao Ning's husband Zhang Xujiang and Xiao Wan's boyfriend Li Yundong are both here this time. Obviously, this year is going to be a reunion on the Xiao family's side. Among the three aunts, the eldest cousin Zhang Yicheng. The second cousin Yu Zhiyuan and cousin Chen Yarong were all there, the eldest cousin Wang Ting was also smiling with a big belly, Xiao Zhen also greeted them with a smile, and finally sat down next to Ye Yuling.

On the grandmother's side, everyone doesn't talk much about work, but the "division of labor" of the two elders of the Xiao family is very clear, and only Xiao Lao cares about everything at work, and Mu Lao basically doesn't ask; Things in life. Generally, Mu Lao cares, and Xiao Lao basically ignores it. So now the people on Mu Lao's side are naturally talking about some things in life. 1. Li Yundong and Ye Yuling should be the least talkative, after all, they are not the Xiao family, and they will always be a little restrained.

Xiao Zhen's situation is as concerned as ever, and he works in the field, on the administrative side. The things he encountered were also more interesting, and Xiao Zhen said something with a smile, which caused everyone to laugh.

Li Yundong has been smiling slightly, but the more determined he is, sure enough, Xiao Ding's status in the Xiao family is very special.

Time passed quickly, and when it was time to eat the reunion dinner in the evening, the staff such as Yiying special care at home also got red envelopes, and they opened another table in the hall of Xiao's house to eat the reunion dinner.

In the evening, it was time for the annual "work report", but this year's situation was slightly different, everyone said it briefly, everyone just simply reviewed this year's work, and even Xiao Ning said more directly: "This year, I have nothing to say." And it passed.

Only Xiao Zhen has been talking for a long time, and he has only talked about the change of office in Xiaonan and the reform of the state-owned enterprise system for more than ten minutes.

Xiao Lao just listened quietly this time, nodding from time to time. But he did not express any opinion. After everyone finished speaking, Xiao Lao only made two tones, without a single comment.

Li Yundong and Ye Yuling didn't know the Xiao family's habits. It's okay, but Zhang Xujiang has had an experience. I felt a little strange in my heart, could it be in front of two would-be members who had not officially entered the Xiao family, so Old Man Xiao didn't say much?

The suspicion on his side has not been solved, and Xiao Zheng has already coughed lightly. glanced at Xiao Lao, and said with a slight smile: "The central government has a big plan to open up the small west, and this matter is probably a major event for a long time to come." ”

Xiao Wan is not clear about this matter, she is at home, and she is the farthest away from the core politics. In Huaxia Telecom, she had only vaguely heard some of the words, but she couldn't figure out the specifics, and couldn't help asking: "The west is wide open?" Is the central government going to divert its attention from the great west? How is it divided? ”

Xiao Zheng nodded and said with a slight smile: "The western region specifically refers to Guanzhong and East Chongqing. Guizhou, Lingxi, Inner Mongolia and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. On the geographical map of China, if the three northeastern provinces are regarded as "the head of the rooster, the eastern and western regions are just like the two wings of the rooster, and the long-term strength in the east and weakness in the west have made the rooster uneven and unable to spread its wings high, which has long plagued the overall situation of China's economic and social health. The west is wide open. It is to open up these places to a large extent. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Wan was slightly taken aback, but didn't ask too many questions about these big policies. She doesn't really care much.

Xiao Zong thought for a moment. Asked: "What has the central government decided to do?" ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Xiao Lao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, looked at Xiao Zhen, and said with a smile: "How do you think the central government can do it?" ”

"That's what I'm doing." Xiao Zhen laughed: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak." My understanding of the actual situation in the western region is too poor, and I can't talk nonsense about this issue. ”

Xiao Zheng smiled happily and nodded: "That's right." He pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Judging from what I have learned so far. At that time, the central and local governments will invest trillions of dollars in "blood transfusion" for the western region. Including West-to-East Power Transmission, West-to-East Gas Transmission, South-to-North Water Diversion, and Qingyu Railway, one by one heavyweight projects will be settled in the west; Enterprises in the east will implement gradient transfer, which will increase the internal vitality of the west; From east to west, the east takes the lead, the central part rises, and the west opens widely. Coupled with the revitalization of the Northeast, this is the complete skeleton of the regional economic exhibition" You say, under this situation and strategy, where will the central government start first? ”

Xiao Zhen nodded slightly: "Speaking of which, I think it's still infrastructure construction." I think that under the central government's current strategic plan of "promoting transformation, adjusting structure, and increasing domestic demand, there is no one who will benefit more than the central and western regions." Because of the focus of infrastructure investment. It's the Midwest, especially the West. For the central and western regions, the weakness of infrastructure construction has always been a bottleneck restricting the development of the local economy. One is transportation, two is weak, then the exchange is weak, the flow of personnel and small materials needs and this can be stunned, the central so, the west is even worse. ”

Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded slightly: "This is one point, and another point, that is, the resource transformation channel, if the rich hydropower resources and mineral resources in the west are small, they can be converted into electricity and high value-added products on the spot." Undoubtedly, it will give greater impetus to the exhibition in the western region. The advantages of heavy chemicals, manufacturing and agricultural products in the central region also depend on the optimization of infrastructure construction. ”

Xiao Zhen slapped his forehead: "Oh" In this context, the opportunities in the central and western regions will inevitably be highlighted, and construction, especially infrastructure construction. A large labor force is needed, and the improvement of infrastructure conditions, coupled with the comparative advantage of industrial costs in the Midwest. It has also attracted the impulse of capital from coastal areas and overseas to invest in the central and western regions. A substantial increase in investment will inevitably bring about a huge demand for labor, which will also bring opportunities for the labor force in the central and western provinces to choose themselves. I estimate that once the campaign of opening up the western region is officially launched, it will not be long before the growth rate of the central and western regions will be far ahead of that of the eastern coast. ”

At this time, the aunt interjected a sentence: "But I think there is one thing to pay attention to, the exhibition in the central and western regions must have a good concept and awareness of ecological protection." That is, to have a higher level, a more long-term plan, a broader vision, and a stronger sense of the market. Ecology is particularly important in the Midwest. Ecological fragility in the West. The population carrying capacity of the central region determines that the central and western regions must take the road of green exhibition. Harmonious coexistence between man and the natural environment. It should always run through the process of revitalization of the central and western regions, and the development of the eastern part of the country has left us with too many references and warnings at the expense of the environment. ”

The aunt is from the National Academy of Administration, and when she speaks, she brings a lot of theoretical atmosphere, even in the eyes of Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zhen. It's becoming a bit idealistic. Green Exhibition. Good is naturally good, but now the exhibition is the last word, and if the green exhibition is fundamental, it will definitely be put aside, no matter how much the central government emphasizes it. How can the officials below ignore the fact that this is a major manifestation of today's political achievements?

Xiao Zheng and Xiao Ding both smiled, but they didn't say much, just nodded slightly. The aunt asked again: "Such a big plan" according to the habit of the central government. Or do you want to go step by step? What is the current idea? ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Xiao Lao, but Xiao Lao still closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't mean to speak. Even looked like he was asleep, so he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Naturally, there are plans, in general." There are three phases. The first stage is the stage of laying the foundation: From the year of Jin to the year of Sun O, the focus will be on restructuring, doing a good job in infrastructure, ecological environment, science, technology, education, and other basic construction, establishing and perfecting the market system, and cultivating growth points for industries with special characteristics, so that the investment environment in the western region will be initially improved, and the deterioration of the ecology and environment will be initially curbed. The economic operation has entered a virtuous circle, and the growth rate has reached the national average growth level; The second stage is the expansion stage: from the 2nd year to the second year, on the basis of the achievements of infrastructure improvement, strategic structural adjustment and system construction in the previous stage. Entering the sprint stage of opening up the western region, we should consolidate and improve the foundation, cultivate characteristic industries, implement economic industrialization, marketization, ecology, and comprehensive upgrading of the layout of specialized regions, and realize a leap forward in economic growth; The third stage is the stage of comprehensively promoting modernization: from yards, years to fields, and strengthening strength in some of the areas that take the lead in development. On the basis of self-development of the modern economic system at home and abroad, efforts should be made to speed up the development of remote mountainous areas and backward agricultural and pastoral areas, generally improve the production and living standards of the people in the western region, and narrow the gap in an all-round way. ”

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough." "Huh?" Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zhen were both a little strange.

The aunt laughed: "This rule" was submitted by the School of Administration, and what the eldest brother just said was basically based on the plan submitted by the School of Administration. ”

"Oh, that's right." Xiao Zheng and Xiao Ding nodded at the same time.

"I think education should come first in the development of the western region." Sangu suddenly smiled and said: "Some people only think of building bridges and roads when they mention the development of the west and infrastructure construction, which is an old concept. The most important thing in the development of the western region is people, and it is necessary to improve the quality of personnel first, and investment in education is an important part of infrastructure investment. I have thought about it for a while these days, and the fundamental reason for the backwardness of the western region is its cultural backwardness. Studies have shown that the rate of material investment is increasing every year. The per capita growth rate of concave reached a fierce rate; However, the increase in the enrolment rate of children is increased, and the per capita growth is increased. It can be seen that the return on intellectual investment is the largest, and it is time to change the old concept. In other words, in the strategy of opening up the western region to a large extent, if the infrastructure construction of highways, water conservancy, and other hardware facilities is improved, and there is no major change in people's cultural quality and ideological concepts, it will be impossible for the western region to truly achieve great development. A century-old plan, education-oriented. ”

Xiao Zheng muttered about the situation, Xiao Zhen nodded: "I have always been in favor of investing in education, even if the whole country is in charge of education, I agree with it, of course, this money must be spent in place." ”

The third aunt smiled at Xiao Ding. She is the director of the Youth Cadres Bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, so she naturally has her own set of views on the requirements for personnel quality.

This time. Chen Yarong, who had never expressed her opinion on the opinions of "adults" before, actually said, "I think technology should be ahead of the curve." glanced back at my grandfather. He said: "Through scientific and technological progress, we should accelerate the development of infrastructure facilities such as local communications, telecommunications, and energy in the western region at a higher technological level, and promote the rational development, effective utilization, and value-added processing of resources."

My mom said to start with education, and I admit that education is a big problem. But education is not something that can be done in a day or two, and it will take at least a few decades to produce results. However, there are still opportunities for science and technology first, such as the introduction of talents, which can lay the foundation in the short term. Then we don't let go of education, and after a decade or two, our own talents will be able to take over the hired foreign talents, and that's okay. ”

Xiao Yin laughed: "Yarong is also very reasonable. Anything else? "The family doesn't seem to be there, and Xiao's tone of speech now seems to have changed a little. In the past, everyone supported Xiao Zhen to talk more, but now he has begun to encourage Yarong to talk more, which is obviously a change in mentality. It shows that he already has the right to speak in the family, and even began to guide his cousin to speak.

Chen Yarong was afraid that she would be laughed at as soon as she opened her mouth, but after listening to Xiao Zhen's encouragement, she let go of her courage. Said: "Well, I don't think the western Dakai can take the traditional exhibition path. Science and technology, especially the use of information infrastructure, to effectively integrate the rich natural resources, historical and cultural resources of the western region with the limited productive forces, can create miracles against the special background that the world economy has entered the era of knowledge economy and that the western region of China is still in the initial stage of industrialization. I saw some time ago that there are tens of thousands of netizens in China, and it will be Dawang after the year. Ten thousand. However, judging from the current situation, Chinese netizens are still mainly concentrated in Dongfang, Beijing, Suixian and other places, and the proportion in the west is very good. The "network consumer group" in the western region is still very large, and the information network is facing an unprecedentedly good opportunity in the western region

Xiao Zheng and the others laughed, not quite impressed. However, in order to let the younger generations start to have their own opinions, they did not say much. Xiao Zhen was slightly surprised, Yarong's eyes were north, yes, and he praised at the time: "This is a very good word." It's like the story of selling shoes. None of them wore shoes. Don't we sell shoes? No, we do

"I agree with that." Yu Zhiyuan, who has not spoken much before, also said today: "The emerging industry of the network industry will explode." This is beyond doubt, and the key is to see who can seize the opportunity in this

The Xiao family has a good one, it is very democratic when discussing this kind of issue, and the elders generally do not suppress the enthusiasm of the juniors, but the eldest uncle Xiao Zheng still insisted: "I still think that we should take the route of infrastructure construction first." Infrastructure construction is not only an important component part of the opening up of the western region, but also has a bearing on the overall situation of the opening up of the western region: First, the focus is on highway construction. transportation construction including railways, airports, and natural gas pipelines; The second is to strengthen the construction of small communications, radio and television, roads, water supply and drainage, heating and other facilities in large and medium-sized cities; The third is to strengthen water conservancy construction. Speeding up infrastructure construction is an urgent requirement for the development of the western region. This is because the backwardness and inadequacy of infrastructure such as transportation, electric power, telecommunications, and water conservancy have become a bottleneck restricting the economic and social development of the western region. According to statistics, in the western region, which accounts for the country's land area, the highway mileage only accounts for the country's total, and the nephew is below the second-level standard; The density of the rail network is also well below the national average; The national penetration rate of telephones is old. The average in the northwest is about 4 percentage points lower than the national level. Therefore. Speeding up the development of highways, railways, water supply, power supply, telecommunications networks, and other infrastructure facilities will not only help expand domestic demand and stimulate national economic growth at present, but will also be conducive to mutual communication between the eastern, central, and western regions in terms of business flows, logistics, information flows, talent flows, and capital flows, and will improve the investment environment for the large-scale development that will be carried out in an all-round way in the future

The aunt laughed: "I insist on ecology first." There are many advantages and favorable conditions in the western region, but the ecological environment in this region is extremely fragile. Forest cover is low in most areas. The CPC Central Committee and the Government Affairs Yuan are particularly concerned about the poor ecological environment in the western region and have placed ecological protection and construction in an important position in the implementation of the large-scale opening up of the western region. The general secretary pointed out some time ago: improve the ecological environment. Premier Hong Dingbang also pointed out: "Ecological environmental protection and construction are the fundamental and entry point for the opening up of the western region," and the State Forestry Administration has done so on the basis of in-depth and meticulous investigation and study. It put forward a new idea for the forestry exhibition in the new century, and planned to implement four major strategic forestry construction projects across the country. Thereinto. There are two major projects directly related to the western region. First, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we should organize and implement afforestation and greening projects with the protection of natural forests, the afforestation of barren mountains and wastelands, and the return of sloping farmland to forests and grasslands as the main contents. Second, in the northwest, north China, and northeast areas of wind-blown sand and arid areas, sand prevention and control projects will be carried out. It can be seen that the ecology must be maintained, which is a big problem
