Resource Tycoon Reborn

On May 17, it rained heavily all over Tongyi, including part of the Fengyuan area. Zhao Xuan went to Tongchuan for inspection with Fang Mingyuan in a simple car without notifying the officials of Tongchuan District.

Tongchuan has been a district of Tongyi for several years. In these years, Tongchuan has also undergone a lot of changes. Since it has been merged into Tongyi, everything here will naturally change according to Tongyi's rules.

The hospitals have added equipment, increased the income of medical staff, and the rural health service system has been continuously improved; there are more than a dozen schools here, and the level of teachers has also been significantly improved; the roads here have become wider, and a highway runs through the entire territory

Whether Tongchuan people go to Tongyi City or Fengyuan, it is much more convenient and faster than before; the district gymnasium and district library have been completed one after another, a number of township comprehensive cultural stations, village-level demonstration cultural rooms, farmhouses

Cultural infrastructure service facilities such as bookstores have been completed and put into use, meeting the spiritual and cultural needs of Tongchuan people; the forest coverage rate here has increased from 23.6% to 31.7%, and it has also

It is constantly improving; the water here is clear, and after the rivers are cleaned, there is no longer the scene where garbage is everywhere and sewage flows across the river.

In the years since it was merged into Tongyi, the Tongyi Municipal Government has not invested in the construction of heavy industry or chemical industry in Tongchuan District. Some of the original heavy-polluting enterprises in Tongchuan District have been shut down, and only two remain.

, it is also equipped with complete environmental protection facilities to ensure that no production sewage will be directly discharged. Now it is positioned as Tongyi City’s granary, vegetable garden, meat, egg, milk and fruit production base, and it is developing the economy while ensuring the restoration of the environment.

.

In 2005, Tongchuan focused on the production of wheat, corn, and rapeseed to further optimize the crop layout. It increased the promotion of new agricultural technologies, promoted land cooperation in rural areas, and established a large-scale agricultural production base. Last year, in the return of farmland,

After planting nearly 30,000 acres of land, Tongchuan's total output of grain crops has reached 250,000 tons, and its total output of oil crops has reached 12,000 tons, both hitting record highs. This has strongly supported the economy of Tongyi City.

develop.

The Tongchuan District Government also vigorously promotes the development of animal husbandry in the district, actively cultivates and supports the development of private technology promotion organizations and various professional associations, reduces and exempts various taxes and fees for farmers, and supports the development of private dairy and breeding farms. Last year

, Tongchuan has nearly 200,000 beef cattle and nearly 240,000 mutton sheep. The number of dairy cows has reached more than 13,000, and the number of pigs and chickens sold has exceeded one million! The output value of animal husbandry has increased year by year, and now

It has become an important pillar of economic development in Tongchuan District and an important channel for farmers to increase their income.

Tongchuan District also vigorously develops the planting of apples and walnuts, and has established processing enterprises, which can not only meet the needs of Tongyi citizens, but also sell large quantities to various cities in Qinxi Province.

The coal mines in Tongchuan District have also been reorganized. The district invited senior coal mine managers from Jinning. They made the decision to close some small coal mines that could not meet production safety, invested in updating mining equipment, and improved production and safety standards.

, to increase output through a series of technical reforms. Due to the recent good domestic coal market conditions, the company is booming in both production and sales. In 2005, the annual coal output reached more than 17 million tons!

Tongchuan also vigorously develops the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials and the ceramic industry, and a large number of people go to Tongyi City to work. Last year, the per capita annual income in Tongchuan District exceeded 9,000 yuan, of which the net income of farmers reached 4,900 yuan.

More than 100 yuan. Both reached the best level in history.

Zhao Xu'an and Fang Mingyuan did not take the expressway, but followed the original national highway from Tongyi into Tongchuan District. The highway was built on both sides of the Wuting River, with cliffs tens of meters high on one side.

, on the other side is a river more than ten meters deep, and the roads in many places can only allow two cars to travel parallel. A few years ago, this road was the only way to go from Fengyuan to Shengdi City and Jinning City. Every year

, it is inevitable that there will be several tragedies involving car crashes and fatalities on this road.

"I never thought that I could see the day when the Wuting River becomes clear again." Zhao Xu'an sighed softly, looking at the river water that only occupies a part of the middle of the river. The Wuting River had basically turned into a

The Stinky River has turbid yellow water during the rainy season. But looking at it now, at least the river water has returned to its normal color, and there is no smell. However, there is no obvious increase in the amount of water.

"Uncle Zhao, these words should not come out of your mouth." Fang Mingyuan said with a dumb smile, "Since Tongchuan was merged into Tongyi, how much investment has the city invested in environmental protection alone? I think you

You know the best, right?" Tongchuan now has two sewage treatment plants in operation. After Tongchuan was merged into Tongyi, the city built a sewage treatment plant in Tongchuan District to ensure that Tongchuan's domestic and production sewage

can be processed instead of being put directly into the river. This is also an important reason why Tongchuan vigorously develops livestock breeding and can also ensure the clarity of the river water. Livestock breeding, due to centralized feeding, can easily cause environmental damage

Pollution, in order to solve this problem, Tongyi City has contacted well-known experts for Tongchuan District to solve this problem.

Zhao Xu'an nodded and said: "It is precisely because I know that I feel that the clarity of Wuting River is hard-won!" Over the years, the city's financial subsidies to Tongchuan District can be said to have far exceeded those of Tongchuan District.

The taxes and fees paid. If Tongchuan had not been merged into Tongyi, Tongyi's current financial situation would be better. But he believes that this place will definitely become Tongyi's back garden and logistics base in the future. Today's efforts are all

Worth it.

"Yes, the clarity of the Wuting River is hard-won, so we have to work more carefully to maintain it." Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but remember that in the beginning, in order to manage the Wuting River, it took a lot of effort. In order to achieve the goal,

Even reporters from China Channel used it. But seeing Wu Tinghe today, he felt that his efforts were finally in vain.

"By the way, I saw a report yesterday that the water-saving project renovation in Tongchuan District is already halfway through. It is expected to be completed by the middle of next year. However, the promotion of farmland drip irrigation is not so smooth." Zhao Xuan looked at Fang Mingyuan.

Liangyandao. When Tongyi established a special zone and started the construction of a new city, Fang Mingyuan imposed a requirement that all new projects must use water-saving equipment, including residential buildings, must use water-saving faucets. And many large and medium-sized buildings have been built.

The reclaimed water plant, after pretreatment and filter material filtration treatment system, can meet the water requirements including house flushing, green space watering, road washing and general industrial cooling water. Moreover, large-scale enterprises established in Tongyi can

They are also required to establish their own recycled water systems. Those enterprises that cannot reach the scale can purchase recycled water from recycled water plants for production. Under normal circumstances, they are not allowed to use tap water directly for production. Fang Mingyuan is also promoting drip irrigation technology in rural areas of Tongyi to reduce agricultural water use.

These measures have greatly alleviated Tongyi's water shortage problem caused by the surge in population.

Due to the huge initial investment, I and many others believed that although these measures were good, they should be slowed down until Tongyi developed to a certain level and had sufficient economic strength. If Fang Mingyuan had not been involved in this issue,

The attitude was extremely tough. There was no intention of giving in, so this policy could not be implemented. However, looking back now, although it caused huge financial pressure on the city at that time, it was far more time- and money-saving than reforming it now.

.

"Here in Tongchuan, the income of the agricultural population is too low. Although drip irrigation technology saves water, the initial investment is relatively high... Therefore, the district government needs to increase its promotion efforts, and it is best to provide some substantial subsidies to farmers." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment.

Tao. Although Tongchuan was originally a city and Tongyi was just a county within its jurisdiction, when it comes to agriculture, most of Tongyi is in plain areas, while Tongchuan District has large areas of mountains and terraces.

Sichuan's economy is actually supported by coal and a few original factories. However, in recent years, coal resources have gradually been exhausted, and output has been declining. Many of those factories have been shut down due to environmental problems, and there are no

Those that are shut down are unable to expand production capacity.

"The city has also considered this. It plans to allocate a special fund to support farmers in the city and strive to use drip irrigation in the city's agricultural planting within ten years." Zhao Xuan said. Originally, the cost of using drip irrigation technology in agriculture was quite high.

This makes it possible that although everyone knows that it saves water and fertilizers, it has not been popularized at all and is only used for the cultivation of high value-added economic crops. But now, with the widespread application of drip irrigation belts, the cost of using this technology has been reduced a lot.

"If we can continue to increase rural agricultural cooperation and carry out large-scale planting of farmland, I think this time can be advanced." Fang Mingyuan said, "There are now thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of farmland in both the north and the south.

The Fang family now has farms in Brazil and Argentina. Although they mainly grow soybeans, they have no idea about the production of food crops.

I still have some understanding.

As the United States and Brazil and other countries continue to expand the planting area of ​​food crops, and the United States has high agricultural subsidies, the prices of food crops in the international market are actually falling. Fang Mingyuan feels that if we follow the current trend

If the development continues, there will definitely be a situation where domestic food prices are higher than those in the international market in the future, just like soybeans today. By then, domestic farmers will face competition from international large farmers!

Zhao Xu'an sighed softly and said: "Mingyuan, this matter cannot be rushed." Of course, he also knew that the agricultural farming method of Huaxia, which is based on farmers' families, has reached an unsustainable point, but the current domestic shocking situation

The high unemployment rate makes the government cautious in releasing the agricultural population. Once a large number of agricultural people are liberated from the fields, they will no longer have the ability to make a living except farming, or society cannot provide them.

If there are enough jobs, social unrest will be inevitable.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh. He understood that the current situation in the country is complicated and affects the whole body, so it is extremely difficult to solve. Just like the population, a population of more than one billion, for the country and society

Is the pressure great? How many people across the country are in hidden unemployment! But population control must be relaxed, because the serious consequences will be seen in less than fifteen years. The severely aging Japanese society is a lesson for China.

!

"This matter cannot be rushed, but it is only in the small area of ​​​​Tongyi. I don't think it is a problem!" Fang Mingyuan insisted, "We will not liberate the local farmers in Tongyi from the land, but liberate the local farmers from the land.

To fill the demand for labor, although from the current point of view, the city government's contribution may be smaller, but in the long run, if we do not solve it at this time, I am afraid that by the time we can solve it, Tongyi will have already

There are not enough jobs for them!”

Zhao Xu'an was shocked. He understood what Fang Mingyuan meant. Tongyi could not always maintain a high-speed growth trend. After reaching a certain height, unless there were some big opportunities, the economic growth rate would become faster and faster.

Relatively speaking, the growth rate of jobs will also slow down. Moreover, Tongyi is now actively absorbing migrant workers from other places. Every year, a large number of migrant workers from other places obtain Tongyi’s household registration, and

In Tongyi, the impact of household registration on employment is not obvious...

"Uncle Zhao, I want to say hello to you in advance. Before Grandpa Su leaves office, I plan to transfer part of Tongyi's national taxes to the national treasury in another form." Fang Mingyuan said, "By then, the city will have less available finances.

It’s better to be prepared in advance.” Since Tongyi became a special zone, Fang Mingyuan has not taken a penny from Tongyi’s tax revenue, all of it has been reserved for Tongyi City’s financial use.

"Ah?" Zhao Xu'an was surprised, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that after Tongyi's rapid economic development, there were complaints in the capital about Tongyi's taxes not being paid to the national treasury.

The agreement signed by many leaders at that time is still there, and secondly, it was because Su Huandong blocked the pressure exerted by those people.

Although from a legal point of view, the truth is on the side of the Fang family. The Fang family paid 1.5 billion US dollars back then, and Tongyi's total tax revenue was only 10 million yuan. The development of Tongyi over the years has not let the country

For a penny of investment, the Fang family invested a huge amount of money in it, but it has not been recovered yet.

But in China, sometimes there is no reason to explain. It is not uncommon to want the horse to run but not let the horse eat grass. In the eyes of many officials, there is only interest and no credibility! (To be continued.)
