Seeing everyone's expressions, Xie Wan quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for spoiling the fun. Come on, everyone, eat..."
Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks again in embarrassment.
After taking two bites, Xie Wan picked up a boiled sweet potato, broke it open, peeled it, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and swallowed it, then said, "Sweet potatoes are quite sweet, but it's okay to eat them occasionally. If you eat them every meal, you'll get heartburn.
The farmers in An County are honest people. As long as they can eat sweet potatoes, they feel that their lives are good. "
Director Ye also took a sweet potato and broke it off to eat, saying, "Life is indeed better now than before.
However, this trip to the countryside still left me with a lot of feelings. We have been ensuring urban supplies, but have not given enough consideration to rural construction.
When we go back, Lao Qiao and I will mention this to the provincial government. Our future work focus should still be to take care of the rural areas.
After all, Sichuan is a major agricultural province, and the countryside is our foundation.”
Xie Wanshun took the initiative and immediately proposed that since many places in other provinces were already implementing the household contract responsibility system, we should select a few key agricultural counties in Sichuan Province to carry out the pilot program.
She said: "I took the initiative to apply for An County to be the pilot county first.
The main reason is that more than 90% of our An County population is agricultural.
Let's ask Mr. Tian to come over and ask him, and we'll know that this household contract responsibility system will definitely increase farmers' enthusiasm for production."
As expected, she called Old Man Tian over again and asked, "If in the future your family can contract the land, pay a certain amount of public grain according to the quality and output of the land, and the rest belongs to your family, would you be willing?"
Old Man Tian was excited when he heard this and asked, "Can we still have our own land?"
Xie Wan shook his head, "The land still belongs to the country, but it's contracted to you to farm."
Old Man Tian said: "That's fine, isn't paying public grain the same as paying land rent?
As long as we can have half of it, we are willing.
If our family contracts the land ourselves, I can definitely increase the yield of grain by 20 to 30 kilograms.
County magistrate, when can we contract it?"
Xie Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it hasn't started yet. The leaders are discussing it. Once they have the news, they will definitely let you take over."
Xie Wan waved his hand, and Old Man Tian left, rubbing his hands.
Director Ye and Director Qiao looked at Xie Wan and laughed, "Little brat, have you already decided to implement the household contract responsibility system in An County?
Did you deliberately trick us into coming here to support you today?"
Xie Wan grinned, "Fengyang started doing this seven or eight years ago, and the results are very good.
I also want to try it. A pilot project has already been started in a brigade, and the enthusiasm of the masses is very high.
I was thinking, if it can be promoted throughout the county before the beginning of next spring, it is very likely that the people of our An County will be able to have enough food to eat next year?
For those of us who work in offices, it doesn’t matter if we wait one more year.
But for our peasant brothers, if they wait one more year, they will be one more year poorer.
Leaders, can you bear to let millions of people in An County eat sweet potatoes for another year? "
The issue of contracting production quotas to households was discussed by the Standing Committee of An County, but was rejected by Zhong Liqin and Pang Ming.
They only allowed Xie Wan to conduct pilot projects in a maximum of three brigades.
Because Xie Wan came from the future, she knew that the household contract responsibility system would definitely succeed.
So she hopes to promote it throughout the county.
Especially if it can get support from the province and make An County a pilot county, it may also be able to get care in terms of grain varieties and fertilizers.
That's why she brought it up in front of Director Ye and Director Qiao.
Both of them are qualified to participate in the provincial standing committee discussion meeting.
In particular, Director Qiao is responsible for planning and allocation. In today's planned economy era, he is the person who completely controls the economic lifeline.
With his support, many subsequent tasks can be carried out more easily.
Moreover, this is bound to be a successful project. If the two of you support Xie Wan and see the results next year, it will actually be Xie Wan giving them credit.
In the future, our relationship will definitely become closer and closer.
Director Qiao asked Xie Wan very seriously: "Xiao Xie, how confident are you that this household contract responsibility system can succeed?"
Xie Wan patted his chest and said, "I'll use my career as a guarantee, I'm 90% sure of success.
The remaining 10 percent is simply due to concerns about natural disasters.
But if there is a natural disaster, the household contract responsibility system will be better than the current situation.”
Director Qiao and Director Ye did not give Xie Wan any guarantees, and Xie Wan also knew that he could not expect such a big leader to make guarantees under such circumstances.
However, she could see that the two directors had taken the matter to heart.
More importantly, after dinner, Secretary Jiang asked Xie Wan for the reform plan for the pilot program of household contract responsibility system in Renjia Village.
Xie Wan guessed that Secretary Jiang would definitely hand this plan over to the top leader.
After discussing the serious matters, Xie Wan stopped acting weird and happily invited everyone to have dinner.
When it was almost over, Xie Wan stood up, walked behind Chen Baoluo and poked him on the back.
While Xie Wan was being sentimental with the leaders, Chen Baoluo was eating voraciously. While eating, he praised the wild game from the mountains to Xu Bing, saying that it was better than the sea cucumbers and shark fins in the five-star hotels in Hong Kong.
Only then did he realize that it was his turn to perform.
He took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth and hands carefully, stood up very elegantly, clapped his hands, and said after attracting everyone's attention:
“On behalf of Zhenhua Group, I would like to thank the leaders of Sichuan Province and An County for their hospitality over the past few days.
Due to some personal reasons, I will not travel with the delegation tomorrow and will return to Hong Kong City the day after tomorrow.
To express my gratitude, in addition to the projects that are already under discussion, we at Zhenhua have decided to increase cooperation with Sichuan Province in the future.
