Xie Wan also suggested going to see how the farmers live.
Yulong Township is considered to be a township with good conditions in An County, but everyone feels bad when they see the children in the village wearing tattered clothes.
Ask those villagers if they can have enough food to eat?
Most of them said that life is much better now and they no longer go hungry, and they had satisfied expressions on their faces.
Chen Baoluo was somewhat moved when he saw this.
In his opinion, the people here are really too poor. Each household has no household appliances, but a radio can be regarded as a family heirloom.
Their clothes were all patched up, and most of them were barefoot.
But as long as they have a full meal, they are satisfied.
In their view, having enough food to eat is the greatest happiness.
He whispered to Xie Wan, "The people here are very lovely. I can understand why you insisted that I come and see them.
In order to keep these people fed and clothed for a long time, I am willing to be as generous as you."
Xie Wan smiled at him and said, "I used to be similar to them. I'm originally from An County, and I used to live even poorer than them.
I have no idea where to get my next meal.”
Chen Baoluo didn't quite believe what she said. He felt that it was impossible for a country girl to grow up to be what Xie Wan is today.
Xie Wan grinned and said that if he was free tomorrow, he would take him to visit Renjia Village, his hometown.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xie Wan suggested going into the mountains.
Everyone returned to the commune dam and got back in the car.
After entering the mountain, the car couldn't go far and had to get off and walk.
The younger people were fine, but the older people couldn't walk anymore after following Xie Wan and Xu Bing up the mountain for half an hour.
In the end, the only people who were able to climb Yulong Mountain with Xie Wan were Xu Bing, Chen Baoluo, Xu Huairen, and Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing looked at Xie Wanle and said, "Xiao Xie, you are not inspecting the planting base, you are clearly doing a military training.
Are you trying to get rid of us on purpose?"
Xie Wan didn't expect that Zhou Jing, a deputy mayor who looked gentle and refined, actually had such good physical strength.
She didn't intend to get rid of anyone, mainly because she was in a hurry, so she walked faster.
Xu Bing, the operations captain of a special forces team, has no problem at all.
She and Xu Bing, each helping one, almost half dragged and half supported Chen Baoluo and Xu Huairen to the top of the mountain.
Xie Wan felt it was unimportant whether other people watched it or not.
Just let them walk slowly behind.
Xie Wan pointed at the surrounding mountains and mist and said to Zhou Jing: "Mayor Zhou, you really wronged me. Look at the fog around us. If we walk slower, we will have to go down the mountain in thick fog."
Anyway, with Pang Ming and others accompanying the provincial and municipal leaders, Xie Wan was not worried at all.
Zhou Jing looked at the surrounding environment and exclaimed: "I never thought that An County has such a beautiful place."
Xie Wan came here once a few years ago in order to dig medicinal herbs and plant them in the space.
She easily dug out a plant of Angelica dahurica from a crevice in the rock and handed it to Xu Huairen for identification.
Xu Huairen has been in the team today, but because of the sports activities in the past few years, he has learned to keep a low profile outside and has been like an invisible man, blending in with the team.
At this time, Fang came into contact with his professional matters.
He picked up the Angelica dahurica and looked at it carefully, praising it: "Although it is not very old, it has good medicinal properties as it has been collected from the wind and dew."
Xie Wan pointed to the mountain and said, "I have found Angelica dahurica, Polygonatum sibiricum, Chuanxiong, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Artemisia annua, Artemisia argyi, and Epimedium in this mountain.
This shows that this mountain is very suitable for the growth of these medicinal herbs.
What do you think if we can turn this mountain into a medicinal herb planting base?"
Xu Huairen said: "The medicinal properties of wild herbs are better than those of artificially cultivated herbs.
Many of the medicinal herbs you mentioned can actually be cultivated artificially.
But the difficulty lies in simulating wild soil and climate conditions.
The efficacy of medicines produced from medicine fields is always a little lacking.
It would be great if we could take over the entire mountain as a planting base.”
Xie Wan shook his head and said, "This mountain is so big, it's not realistic to enclose it for planting.
My idea is to cooperate with several nearby townships.
Once they know the value of these medicinal herbs, someone will definitely destroy and steal them without any profit. Instead of doing this, it is better to contract them out to the villagers.
Your Chunfu Hall sent people down to provide training, and the supervision, purchasing, planting and daily care were all handed over to several nearby townships.
This not only allows farmers to earn more income, but also reduces your management difficulties.”
Everyone felt that what Xie Wan said made sense.
Then Xu Huairen and Xie Wan began to discuss the possible problems that might be encountered in the specific operational details.
Chen Baoluo didn't understand the local customs and habits here, so he hardly said a word.
Instead, it was Zhou Jing who helped come up with a lot of ideas.
They walked along the mountain road, visited many places, and gained a general understanding of the geography of the mountain.
The few of them discussed as they walked, and by the time they were almost down the mountain, they already had a concrete idea.
Xie Wan joked to Zhou Jing: "Mayor Zhou, I really didn't expect you to know so much about the countryside."
Zhou Jing smiled and said, “Don’t forget, I’m the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture.
When I first took office, I went to the countryside all day long."
Xie Wan felt that Zhou Jing was a good and pragmatic person.
On the way, Zhou Jing also asked Xie Wan about the pilot program of contracting production quotas to households.
Xie Wan reported the reform plan of Renjia Village to Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing reminded her: "Don't make this public yet. Wait until next year to see the effect before promoting it."
