The senior official Lu of Yu Province still attaches great importance to Qi Zheng's visit, which can be seen from the fact that he spared thirty minutes to give Qi Zheng.

After all, as a feudal official in charge of a province, he is a real daily manager, and he doesn't know how many important things to see every day. It is already a luxury to be able to devote thirty minutes to communicate with Qi Zheng alone.

The last entrepreneur who could get the same treatment was Foxconn's chairman Terry Gou, and the reward was to attract Foxconn to invest in building factories in Henan Province and solve the problem of direct employment for 300,000 people.

In the eyes of senior officials Lu, the importance of Qi Zheng is even more than that.

This is because in the positioning of Henan Province's economic development, a hurdle that cannot be avoided is food security. As one of the main grain producing areas in the country, Henan Province accounts for one-tenth of the country's total grain output and one-quarter of the country's total wheat output.

What is even worse is that, according to the current pattern of grain supply, a large part of the new increase in grain production in the whole country still has to be pinned on Yu Province. For example, during the two sessions this year, the minister of agriculture told Senior Officer Lu that if the grain output of Henan Province can increase by 10 billion catties this year and next, he will make a special trip to Henan Province to express his gratitude.

From the perspective of the decision-making level, in terms of natural resources, Henan Province is not a family with mines in the whole country, and the few mineral resources are still concentrated in the central and western regions and mountainous areas. As a hinterland, the industrial conditions are not outstanding. Only the land is still fertile, and the water system is relatively developed in the north, which is suitable for agriculture.

But from a local perspective, even if you grow cash crops, your profit margin is often higher than that of growing food. When the rate of return on capital for growing grain is lower than the average rate of profit of the society, Henan Province is equivalent to sacrificing local economic growth to provide food for the people of the whole country.

Of course, standing on the high plane of senior officials Lu, the national strategy still has to be obeyed. But putting Henan Province on the fast track of development is also an important task entrusted to him by the central government.

However, industry and services do not develop overnight, and they need to be built up over time.

As for agriculture, with the current level of agricultural technology and scale in Henan Province, the cost of growing grain is very high, and the income is lower than the world's advanced level. The minimum purchase price of grain given every year is only to make the peasants earn a little more money on the basis of trying not to lose money, and the profit is very thin - unless they grow grain like Jiagu.

“...... I've heard that Jiagu is aggressively promoting new varieties of wheat. Following 'Jiadou No. 13', has Jiagu made another breakthrough in wheat?"

People are also people who often listen to reports, and the importance of wheat production in the agricultural system of Henan Province is self-evident, and the dynamics in this regard are more or less understood.

Qi Zheng briefly introduced: "I dare not compare with 'Jiadou No. 13', 'Jiadou No. 13' has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in soybean production. Most of the new wheat varieties that Jiagu is now promoting and planting have improved in quality, but there has not been much improvement in yield. ”

"In this way, it will still help to increase the output of wheat. ”

Qi Zheng nodded lightly: "That's true." Many people say that agriculture is a natural weak industry, but I think that agriculture has a major proportion, which is both a shortcoming and a feature. ”

"You're right. Senior official Lu said with a gentle smile: "As a grain producing area, there is still a contradiction between ensuring grain production and economic development. But how to take care of both is worth considering. I hope that Qi Dong can bring some good news. ”

Qi Zheng was a little modest: "Actually, it's not a new idea, the main thing is to expand the agricultural industrial cluster in Henan Province, so that farmers can never leave their hometowns, have work at their doorsteps, and make money." At present, Henan Province has also initially formed two large-scale agricultural industrial clusters, one is a grain industry cluster based on wheat, flour and flour products, and the other is a livestock industry group based on livestock and poultry, slaughtering and processing, and meat products. Jiagu is a bit ambitious, wanting to promote the upgrading of the two major industrial clusters and give birth to a more complete industrial chain ......"

Senior Officer Lu smiled in surprise and said, "Then you don't have to be modest. If the industrial cluster is compared to a forest, then Jiagu, as a leading enterprise, is a key tree species, and it is also an excellent forest ranger, and this competitiveness is recognized by the industry. ”

Qi Zheng also smiled, and continued: "I think so, in the grain industry cluster, Jiagu through the guidance of new varieties and the detour of the industrial chain, drive the professional division of labor of related processing enterprises, and fully tap the role of value-added processing of agricultural products. You must know that the ratio of grain processing output value to grain output value in developed countries has reached 5:1, and Henan Province is now only 1:1......"

"In the livestock and poultry industry cluster, Jiagu can provide excellent cattle breeds and excellent pig breeds, and secondly, it plans to establish a livestock and poultry waste energy and fertilizer production base......

In addition, Jiagu wants to build the first domestic agricultural production industry cluster in Henan Province. ”

Senior official Lu knocked on the fingers on the table and paused: "Agricultural production *** industry?"

Qi Zheng explained: "From the perspective of sustainable development, agriculture should take the road of intensive and large-scale ecological agriculture in the future, but the existing agricultural supporting service system is relatively backward. Jiagu has strong accumulation in variety research and development, seed cultivation, organic fertilizer, soil testing and improvement, health and epidemic prevention, field management, rough and fine processing, etc., hoping to build a professional agricultural service industry cluster. Based on the past experience of developed countries and Jiagu, the agricultural service industry can attract a large number of farmers to become professional farmers and achieve wage income......"

Senior Officer Lu was very happy and said, "This is a very good idea. ”

Population pressure is also a major shackle to the agricultural development of Henan Province, on the area of cultivated land in the provincial-level administrative region, Henan Province is second only to Black Province and Mongolian Province, but the population density of the first two is not as large as Henan Province - the agricultural population alone, Henan Province has more than 60 million, without solving the problem of "where do people go", any modernization can not be realized.

Qi Zheng paused, and his voice became a little heavy: "But no matter how good the plan is, it is easy to be recited by the monks below as a crooked mouth scripture." Farmers' cooperatives are an important driving force for the development of agricultural industrialization clusters in Jiagu, and now some grassroots cadres and personnel in the state-owned grain purchase and marketing system in Henan Province still hold a simple and crude concept, believing that everything will be fine when growing grain and putting it into the warehouse, and they are very resistant to Jiagu to promote the implementation of cooperatives. For example, some time ago, someone in the national grain reserve told me that it was better to maintain the status quo in Jiagu, otherwise it would be too ignorant...... Honestly, I think it's kind of funny. ”

Senior Officer Lu's expression became more serious when he heard this, and he said, "Is there such a thing?"

Qi Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded: "I'm not saying that grain storage is not important, but judging from the current situation, the national granary has been crowded." In my opinion, it is better to put grain into the market than to put grain into the market. I don't believe that those people don't understand this, they are afraid of it, they are out of interest, pretending not to see this......"

Speaking of which, Qi Zheng's intention to sue has been undoubtedly revealed.

Senior official Lu pondered for a while, and quickly said: "This is indeed a serious problem, backward concepts are on the one hand, and staring at one's own one-third of an acre of land, engaging in localism and individualism, is another thing...... In this way, Xiao Yang, you will go to the relevant departments in a while to find out about this matter. ”

"Okay. Senior Officer Lu's secretary nodded slightly.

Turning his head, Senior Officer Lu comforted Qi Zheng with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, Dong Qi, we will try our best to eliminate this kind of phenomenon." Jiagu's agricultural industry cluster plan is the hope of agricultural upgrading in Henan Province, and if you invest boldly, the provincial party committee is the backing of Jiagu......"

Qi Zheng felt the sincerity of Senior Officer Lu, and his heart was stable, and then he thought about Mr. Li and others from the National Grain Reserve Branch, and silently gave them a wax in his heart: Hehe, do you think we will entangle with you?
