Chapter thirty-fifth good opportunity (three consecutive updates)
"Okay, Lao Song, your Shigu District is not the worst. You are just yelling here. What should we do in the Donggu and Baita districts?" Shen Zilie laughed, "There must be many difficulties. , but work has to start and finish, what do you want us cadres to do?"
"By the way, Secretary Shen, I heard that the sheep peaches in several southern districts will bear fruit this year. I wonder how the yield will be? I heard that this thing is a new thing. Two townships in our district tried to produce it on a few fields last year. I have planted about five or six hundred acres on the barren hills, and I just want to see the effect." Song Chenghua suddenly remembered something, "I wonder if this thing can be sold at a high price? The people at the regional agricultural bureau made wild claims the year before last. They say that stuff is rich in nutrients, especially rich in vitamins ABC and so on, and is very popular. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Yang Tao is a local name here in Liyang, and its book name is Kiwi Tao.
"It should be good, but this kiwi fruit seems to be a new trendy fruit. It seems that the people in our city are not very familiar with this fruit, right?" Shen Zilie also roughly knew that there are several counties in the entire Liyang area that have it. The fruit kiwi is grown.
It turns out that there are also wild kiwis in the mountainous areas here, but both the quality and yield of the fruit are not good, and commercial cultivation has not been formed at all. However, in the past two years, a temporary cadre from the Ministry of Agriculture served as the deputy commissioner of the Liyang District Administrative Office. In Liyang District Efforts have been made to promote the planting of fine kiwi fruit varieties, which has also received strong support from the Liyang Prefectural Committee Administration. Therefore, in addition to Nantan in Liyang area, Huoshan and Futou counties have also used barren hills and slopes to transform, and introduced different scales of kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit cultivation covers 2,000 acres in Huoshan County, 1,500 acres in Nantan, and 800 acres in Futou.
"Isn't it? Secretary Shen, I heard someone from the regional agricultural bureau say that this thing is very popular abroad and is also very popular in big cities. It can be sold for a good price. I thought about the barren hills and slopes of our Shigu District. Quite a few. This year our district has renovated 400 acres and planted peach trees, and plans to renovate another 1,000 to 1,200 acres next spring. If the yield of this thing is good and it can be sold at an affordable price, then we will expand the renovation plan. It's not impossible to increase the area from 1,500 to 2,000 acres, we just have to see how effective it is." Song Chenghua was very interested, "I heard that Wubao District is also undergoing reconstruction of wasteland slopes, and I probably want to build a land here in Yangtao. Let’s make a fuss about it.”
"Oh? Everyone thinks this kiwi fruit will have such a big profit? How many kiwi fruits are planted in the county?" Shen Zilie was slightly surprised. He only served as the executive deputy county magistrate at the beginning of this year. He had no specific contact with him as deputy secretary before. Government work, and when kiwi fruit planting began in Liyang area, he was still in the province and had not come down, and the county also had a deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture, so he was not clear about the kiwi fruit planting situation in the county.
"It's about 1,500 to 600 acres, mainly concentrated in Donggu and Baita districts. They started it early and will produce fruit this year. We and Wubao only started it this year, and the scale is also small. , but according to expert opinions from the regional agricultural bureau and the Institute of Agricultural Science, this kiwi fruit has entered its peak production period and the yield is very good. If it can be sold at a good price, it can be regarded as a way for farmers to get rich and increase their income." Song Chenghua glanced at the stone bridge next to him. The township secretary and mayor said, "Lao Yu, Cheng Tai, how many do you plan to do next spring?"
"Hey, Secretary Song, our Shiqiao plan is 300 acres, but there are a lot of barren hills here, 400 acres is no problem. It mainly depends on the situation in their southern districts this year." Yu Lianshan has also been a hometown for many years.
The party committee secretary just laughed and listened to the conversation between Song Chenghua and Shen Zilie, but did not interrupt. He only answered a few words until Song Chenghua asked.
Lu Weimin had been silently listening to the chat between Shen Zilie and several leaders in Shigu District, but he was carefully recalling the causes and consequences of the Kiwi incident that he had encountered when he was just working in his previous life, which was said to have a huge impact at the time.
The Liyang area is a typical hilly area, especially the southern counties, which are shallow hilly areas with low terrain and rich soil. The area of barren hills and slopes is very large, and the development potential is great. Although it is not suitable for growing food crops, it is suitable for some economic activities.
It is a natural treasure land, especially suitable for kiwi fruit cultivation.
It should be said that the deputy commissioner of the Ministry of Agriculture who was assigned to the Liyang area at the beginning was quite far-sighted. By promoting improved kiwi varieties in several counties in the southern part of the Liyang area, he should have found a way for local farmers to get rich.
But there is a classic saying from later generations: one step ahead is an advance, two steps ahead is a martyr.
When the market was not fully activated, the government called on people to plant kiwi fruits on a large scale, which directly led to a large number of kiwi fruits in Liyang area that could not be sold and became rotten. The growers suffered heavy losses, which led to a large number of farmers petitioning and blocking roads, leading to a major political incident.
It not only greatly damaged the prestige of the local party committee and government, but also seriously affected the relationship between local cadres and the masses, affecting the development of local rural work for a long time, and it took many years to slowly reverse it.
The Kiwi incident also directly caused a considerable number of officials in the Liyang area to become "martyrs", and their originally brilliant official careers have since been eclipsed. The Shen Zilie in front of him should undoubtedly be one of them, although he is exempted from this because of his deep background.
Yu was directly dismissed from office, but his originally bright political future was severely stumbled at this point, and its far-reaching impact is indescribable.
Thinking of this, Lu Weimin couldn't help but jump in his heart. If he could help Shen Zilie in this matter, then maybe Shen Zilie's fate would change. As the secretary who followed him, his fate would be different.
Is it possible to step into a wider world?
As soon as this idea came up, it was out of control. Lu Weimin was thinking nervously about the causes and consequences of the kiwi fruit incident in his past life. How to solve this problem is obviously not as simple as just coming up with an idea and talking about it. Thousands of acres of kiwi fruit are concentrated on the market.
It is a severe challenge for any local government that has not truly adapted to the market economy, but precisely because of this, it is its own opportunity.
Shen Zilie obviously did not realize how much the kiwi planting issue he and Song Chenghua and others discussed would bring about a big change in his political future. After talking for a while, he changed the topic and returned to the issue of Bai Tiaozi.
