Chapter 242 Helping Farmers
"The most important thing is the foundation of the country!"
Wu Tong was suddenly asked about livelihood issues that were unfamiliar to her, and she paused for a moment. However, she had a wide range of knowledge, especially in agriculture, which happened to be Wu Jingzhong's main job. Wu Tong had been exposed to agriculture since she was a child, so she was not unable to answer the questions, and she had some understanding of the current agricultural environment.
As the saying goes, "If you skip a meal, you will feel hungry." Agricultural products are a basic need. Rice, flour, vegetables, fruits, etc. are essential for people's three meals a day and cannot be saved no matter how much you try.
Domestic agriculture has not changed much in the past 5,000 years, and still depends on the weather. At most, the old oxen pulling the plow have been replaced by mechanical planting and harvesting, which makes farmers less hard. However, with the cost of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and renting machinery, farmers still don't have much room for income from planting.
Nowadays, buying and selling is convenient. It is no longer like before when we had no food to eat if we didn’t farm.
Rather than farming for a meager income, people are more willing to work in cities to improve their family finances. This has resulted in large tracts of arable land being abandoned, lower grain production, and greater reliance on imports. This is not feasible either from the perspective of international issues or long-term social development.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the people can earn income from farming, that farming is profitable, and that scientific and large-scale farming is promoted.
"Help farmers, enrich farmers, and effectively increase farmers' income!" Let the farmers' "purses" swell, seek benefits for the people, plant scientifically, plant special crops...
Wu Tong simply expressed some of her views. Although these expressions were still immature, they were broad enough in their long-term perspective.
Chu Hengyuan nodded seriously. Yes, this is not a long-term solution. Agricultural development has always been valued by the top leaders, so many favorable policies have been introduced, such as rural revitalization, and various national and local subsidies...
However, in the end, he thought that, as Wu Tong said, the most practical thing is to let farmers see their income. The world is bustling with people, all for profit. People who are willing to farm will naturally work harder. Why worry about the development of agriculture?
Foreign farm operation models, domestic agricultural development, how to promote them so that farmers are willing to farm and establish a new agricultural system, these are fundamental issues that need to be considered!
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Wu. We will discuss and study in detail how organic fertilizers can better promote agricultural development!" Chu Hengyuan thanked him and hung up the phone. Then he used the landline on the table to call the Agricultural Development Department.
After Wu Tong hung up the phone, she couldn't help but think deeply about this issue. She listed the factors that would help agricultural development on a piece of draft paper.
Suitable industry selection, training of farmers to master practical technical skills, technical support, organizational promotion, and production and marketing connection.
You need good seeds and good technology, and the crops you grow must be sellable and sell at a good price.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces." The sale of agricultural products has always been the main source of income for the majority of farmers. Currently, the sales channels for agricultural products in rural areas are still relatively simple, the purchase prices are low, and farmers' incomes are not high.
With the rise of online live streaming in later generations, in order to effectively increase farmers' income, many regions seized market opportunities and used the advantages of "Internet +" to start building live streaming rooms and e-commerce platforms to help farmers.
We invite popular internet hosts with high traffic to do live broadcasts to help farmers. In many places, first secretaries or college student village officials in the villages also start live broadcasts to introduce their local specialty agricultural products to netizens from all over the country, building a bridge for consumption to help farmers.
The ultimate goal of scientific and technological development is to benefit the people, expand sales channels scientifically, increase sales channels with technology, achieve increased agricultural production and farmers' income, help farmers become rich, and drive rural revitalization in all aspects.
Wu Tong drew a circle and wrote on the production and marketing connection and scientific and technological support. Good seeds, planting technology, and the country's support for agriculture have never stopped. These have already laid a good foundation.
In order to sell products, there must be good transportation. Although transportation is very convenient now, the policy of connecting every village with roads has been implemented in practice.
However, the issues of promotion time and construction difficulty have yet to be overcome, and many remote areas have not yet been radiated.
Moreover, the cost of building a highway is quite high now. How long will it take to achieve a small goal for one kilometer? It really is a matter of piling up money.
In addition to the high construction costs, the most critical thing is that highways have considerable maintenance costs every year, and some difficult areas lead to poor project quality, and they have to be renovated every few years. China is a vast country with a variety of geological features, and is threatened by erosion from natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes, and landslides... These are the expensive costs of highways.
However, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If the roads are blocked, how can you sell your products? How can you achieve fast long-distance interaction? How can you ensure smooth production and sales?
How can we reduce this cost and adapt to different harsh environments and resist natural disasters? Especially for some serious landslides, including some mountain tunnels, can we use better materials and combine them with today's earthquake-resistant steel to build safe tunnels to ensure the safety of passing vehicles?
Ultimately, this is still a material problem. Material problems can be further transformed into mathematical models to construct. Since it is a problem, there are solutions to overcome it. They need a transcendent and good material to complete this concept.
Wu Tong still has two or three major projects that have not been completed. As for the new energy battery sector that she suddenly came up with, she only has basic knowledge accumulation and has not even started yet.
Wu Tong didn't think adding another topic was too much. However, compared to fighting alone before, she now had a team, and could ask the team to assist her with some basic preparations.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong got up and went to the team office.
"Mr. Wu!" As soon as Wu Tong arrived at the office door, he was seen by a researcher inside who accidentally looked up at the door. He couldn't help but call out immediately. Others followed suit and greeted Wu Tong with a smile.
"How are you feeling recently? Are you adapting to life in Beijing?" Since he had come to the office, Wu Tong couldn't help but ask more questions.
"It's great, I feel fulfilled. The living conditions on the Peking University campus are very convenient, especially the Peking University cafeteria. We have tried several of them, but we haven't tried them all!" Tao Ran scratched his head. When they first arrived, they devoted themselves to the experiment and conquered the reinforcement coating. They couldn't help but relax a little.
Of course, this is based on not delaying normal research work. It's just that I didn't immediately start researching the next topic.
