rebirth of cataclysm

After listening to Hu Mingchen's detailed account, Zhang Meng was confused for a year. He didn't quite understand these big issues, but Zhang Weidong fell into deep thinking.

Everyone used to say that it was good to encourage migrant workers. Whether it was the government or the media, they talked about the good side, but no one mentioned the harmful effects it would bring.

Now that Hu Mingchen has said so much in front of Zhang Weidong, he has pierced the window. As an aspiring mid-level and senior cadre, Zhang Weidong has to think about this issue, and his knowledge and understanding are far behind.

In many ways, Zhang Meng could not compare. When he thought about it, he knew that what Hu Mingchen said was true. Some situations had not been revealed yet, but they existed and would eventually appear.

What Hu Mingchen said was actually his own experience and the atmosphere he felt personally.

Before he was reborn, Duge Township looked like this. It was lively and bustling during the New Year, but deserted after the New Year. Even on market day, the streets were deserted, and there were almost no young people.

That's because left-behind children have become a big problem, and left-behind elderly people are also a major concern. There was even a family that left four children at home, and the couple went out to work. However, the four children accidentally ate poisonous bacteria, and all four children died.

No. There was also an elderly couple whose children and grandchildren had gone out to work, but they died in bed for more than half a month before their neighbors discovered them. When they opened the door and went in, maggots were already gathering. It was so miserable and pitiful.

"What you said makes sense, I admit it, but it is impossible not to let them out. There is a surplus of labor, and they also have the right to pursue a happy life. We can only encourage it, but cannot stop it." After a while, Zhang Weidong said quietly.

He said, "Moreover, I also believe that after they went out for a few years, they learned skills and accumulated funds. I believe that some aspiring young people will return to their hometowns to start businesses. It is hard to leave their hometown."

Although Zhang Weidong said that he believed it, his words did not seem to be very confident. Because Hu Mingchen said an example, that is, the local college students who passed the exam came back with only two out of ten. This is happening now. Zhang Weidong's data in this regard

He has a more detailed grasp than Hu Mingchen.

Tens of thousands of people go from Liangcheng to universities across the country every year, but very few are willing to come back to work every year. Moreover, most of these people come back to take the exams for civil servants or public institutions, and have really invested in private enterprises or entrepreneurship.

They are even rarer. These people either went to first-tier cities or to the coast. Even if they returned to the province, they basically chose to stay in the south of the town.

"Uncle Zhang, there may be one thing that no one has considered, not just you, but also the scholars who have studied this issue." Hu Mingchen said solemnly.

"Oh? A problem that no one has considered? Have you thought of it?" Zhang Weidong was very curious.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Meng's mother also came out of the room at this time.

"Don't talk and just sit and listen." Zhang Weidong said.

"Auntie, let's talk about working again. Uncle Zhang, do you know what kind of jobs these rural youths who are currently going out to work, including some urban youths, do?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"They should all go to the factory." Zhang Weidong roughly confirmed.

"Indeed, most of them enter the factory, but most of them are small and medium-sized private factories with backward technology and imperfect environmental protection. They rely on manpower. Those large factories still have requirements for employees to enter, such as high school graduation.

For example, after graduating from a technical secondary school, some also need a technical college. In addition to factories, there are also construction sites, and there are also low-level service industries. In short, one thing is similar, that is, they are engaged in low-level jobs, and what they have learned is just

low level skills

These technologies are currently popular, but in more than ten years, it is unknown. Has our industry never been upgraded? Have we always relied on low-level processing to survive? Impossible, the demographic dividend will disappear, and with the economic development

To develop, we have to upgrade the industry step by step, and by then, these things will be eliminated. Even if they are willing to come back and invest in a small paper mill, a small textile factory, or a small hardware factory, we may not accept it," Hu Mingchen said.

"Why not collect it? Isn't that good? We in Liangcheng lack small factories and only have large state-owned enterprises." Zhang Meng's mother asked in confusion.

"First, cost, and second, environmental protection. The cost I am talking about is not just transportation cost. Our transportation will be greatly improved by then. Of course, compared with coastal cities that can be transported and exported by shipping, there is still some improvement.

Not as good, but the conditions will improve a lot. The cost I am talking about is the industrial chain. For example, a separate clothing factory or a separate electronics factory is a dead end here. Without the upstream and downstream supply chains, the cost will be very high. Chapter 1

Second, the water in many coastal towns is now black and the air is gray.

, the soil is also contaminated by radioactivity. Can this phenomenon continue forever? Impossible. For the sake of rapid accumulation, we can let it go. However, this way of sacrificing environmental protection for economic benefits cannot last long, and the people will not always support it.

.When they are eliminated in the industrial upgrading, can we destroy the green mountains and clear waters to accept these industries? Frankly speaking, I think it is unlikely. And they are actually not very good at engaging in high value-added industries with technology.

I will feel useless when I come back."

What Hu Mingchen said is a bit vague. After all, it has not happened yet, and there is a lot of uncertainty. In addition, Hu Mingchen only thought about this issue and did not conduct in-depth research.

However, the trend that Hu Mingchen mentioned existed. At that time, not to mention the elimination of backward industries along the coast, even the inland was also eliminating backward production capacity, just for the sake of environmental protection. If there was no clean water to drink, no fresh air to breathe, and no pollution

Contaminated food, various occupational diseases and new diseases caused by environmental damage have spread. What's the use of more money?

The direction proposed by Hu Mingchen made Zhang Weidong even more thoughtful.

"Hu Mingchen, I don't quite understand what you are saying, but if what you say is right, then won't we never get rich here?" Zhang Meng said.

"In fact, our economy is growing rapidly every year, at 8% or 9% every year, and it is also developing." Zhang Meng's mother said.

"Auntie, this is because we have a weak foundation and a low base. To put it bluntly, if the coal mines produce a few million more tons of coal or build two more roads, the number will rise. This does not mean that the economic figures are good, and the people's wallets will be

Drum, the key depends on the economy

What drives the numbers up? If it is driven by industrial investment and consumption, then people's income will indeed increase rapidly. Otherwise, people's gains will be low. For example, one billion yuan to build a road and one billion yuan to build a

factory, its effect

The difference is very different. Building a factory worth one billion will provide the government with a large amount of tax revenue every year. It will support thousands of workers every year, and it will purchase from the top and sell from the bottom, which will stimulate a larger number of cyclical demands. And these people have a fixed income.

There will be fixed consumption, which will drive sales of catering, clothing, shoes, and socks. Of course, I am not saying that building roads is not important. It is very important to us at the moment. It can even be said to be our top priority. If we want to get rich, we must build roads first."

Hu Mingchen explained to Zhang Meng’s mother.

In fact, Hu Mingchen's words were meant for Zhang Weidong.

"Then logically speaking, what should we do? Why do I feel that the road is blocked by you?" Zhang Weidong raised his head and looked directly at Hu Mingchen and asked.

"Haha, Uncle Zhang, why are you blocked by me? How can I be so virtuous and capable? The question you asked me shouldn't be asked by us people, right?" Hu Mingchen relaxed the atmosphere and smiled.

road.

"Yes, but I just want to ask you now to see what you, a thinking young man, have to say." Zhang Weidong still faced him frankly, insisting that Hu Mingchen tell him something.

Now Zhang Weidong did not regard Hu Mingchen as a junior high school student at all. How could a real junior high school student say these things? Zhang Weidong lowered his attitude and had an equal dialogue with Hu Mingchen, and even wanted to ask for advice.

"I don't have high opinions, but I have some ideas, and it's the industry you mentioned. We must cultivate industries suitable for our local area. And we must break the transportation bottleneck while accelerating work in this area. Only in this way can we

You can stand out instead of following other cities." Hu Mingchen said.

"What industry is that? According to what you just said, those industries cannot survive here." Zhang Weidong did not intend to let Hu Mingchen go easily, and asked more deeply.

"It is indeed difficult for large-scale manufacturing to survive here at present. This is a real problem. You can see it if you look around. But we can adapt to local conditions. Because of the congested traffic and backward industry, we can still have beautiful scenery here.

, blue sky and white clouds, clear air. And this is an excellent environment for the development of tourism and agriculture." Hu Mingchen answered.

"Without industry, there is no wealth, and without business, how can we develop by relying on tourism and agriculture? Besides, there are no well-known attractions here. There are no famous mountains like Taishan and Huashan, and there are no classical ruins like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Confucius Temple, etc.

There is no lake light like the West Lake, Three Gorges and Lijiang River

Mountain scenery, where does tourism come from? Furthermore, agriculture, haha, don’t you know that agriculture is the most unsuitable for development in our mountainous areas? You really have never farmed.” Zhang Weidong suddenly found his confidence and felt that Hu Mingchen also

He didn't really understand everything, so he actually made fun of him.

"Uncle Zhang, you are right, but you are also wrong. We do not have those historical places of interest, nor do we have the mountains and rivers that literati have visited, but all of this is due to transportation. Who will come to the barren land before?

No, we can build it. Do we lack mountains? Do we lack canyons? Do we lack rivers? Do we lack lakes? Do we lack mountains and forests? Do we lack national customs? There is no shortage. If there is no shortage, why can't we build it?

In addition to tourist attractions, we may even have hot springs that have not been excavated. There is a mountaintop lake in Renchuan Town, you know? Now a mountaintop lake scenic spot is being built there, with companies paying for it and the village releasing land for joint development.

Once this place is built, we Liangcheng people will have a good place to go. As for agriculture, I’m not talking about the kind of growing cereals, but a new type of mountain agriculture..."
