Gu Daqiang scratched his bald head and said, "There are only two things in the countryside: people and land. I feel like I can't do anything even if I want to!"
Huo Qianli didn't comment and looked at the others, "Everyone, please speak up. Let's brainstorm together!"
Now that everyone was used to Huo Qianli's style of doing things, they did not hesitate much. A deputy mayor thought for a moment and said, "What Village Chief Gu said makes sense. After all, we are a small town in a remote area. Secretary Huo relied on the special geographical advantages of Danshen planting and led everyone to open up this path of industrial development. Today, Hushan Village has a certain reputation in the province, and Qianfu Town's GDP has also jumped from the bottom of the county to the third place. This is already a miraculous achievement. But if we want to have a big development, there really is no more resources to do anything with."
The deputy mayor spoke in a calm and steady manner, and did not forget to brag about Huo Qianli's previous achievements, but he forgot one thing: if they really couldn't come up with anything new, what were they all doing sitting here?
So, Xiao Yao said, "I think we can still think of some other ways, such as whether there are other specialties that can be used, or whether the Chinese herbal medicine industry can develop some new content?"
"What can it be?" another participant sighed. "Industrial park enterprises are already doing deep processing of medicinal materials. Just like what Village Chief Gu analyzed just now, it's nothing more than people and land. People have already come to work in the factory, and can also help out in the cooperative. The monthly salary is also good. The land has been planted with various Chinese medicinal materials headed by Salvia miltiorrhiza. It can be said that we have achieved the ultimate. I think what we can do is to spend more effort on fiscal transfer payments, strengthen grassroots governance, and improve residents' sense of happiness."
This statement was quite reasonable and successfully made everyone feel depressed.
Now, they all want to achieve some results, but when they sit down and analyze the situation, the reality is really frustrating.
In the conference room, silence spread quietly along with a feeling of loss and powerlessness.
"In fact, the capital in rural areas is not limited to these."
Huo Qianli spoke softly, breaking the silence and attracting many curious glances.
Huo Qianli took out a small stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Cao Qingfeng, asking him to pass one copy to each person. Then he looked around and said, "Regarding the development of rural areas, the government has long had a theory that in order to fundamentally solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, we must awaken the dormant capital in rural areas and allow farmers to enjoy the same property rights and development opportunities as urban residents."
"What is this dormant capital? In fact, it is the various production factors in our rural areas, collective land, collective construction land, land contracting and management rights, forest rights, etc. When these factors can flow freely between urban and rural areas, our rural areas can be more vibrant and full of vitality."
Everyone listened to Huo Qianli's words and looked down at the documents in their hands.
"This is the No. 1 document of our Jingcheng City in 2010, which emphasizes that on the basis of adhering to the principle that family contract management of land is the core of the basic rural management system, we must deepen the reform of the rural land and housing property rights system, carry out the registration of rural collective land and housing rights, and promote the circulation of land contract management rights and rural collective construction land use rights. The purpose is to establish a rural property rights system with "clear ownership, clear rights and responsibilities, strict protection, and smooth circulation", realize the capitalization of rural assets, and promote their free flow between urban and rural areas."
Huo Qianli looked at everyone and said, "This is the prelude to the reform of the rural property rights system in our Jingcheng City, and it is also the wealth code of each village in Qianfu Town, including Hushan Village. These rights and interests are more capital for the rural areas."
Gu Daqiang was delighted to hear these powerful words. He thought that Brother Huo was indeed different. He could always find the real good solutions from those documents that others didn't even bother to look at!
But when he looked around, he did not see the same joy on most people's faces, not even Gu Chengde was an exception.
Just as he was puzzled, a leader attending the meeting spoke up, "Secretary Huo, this idea is indeed very good. But there are two problems. The first is, as we said before, we are in such a remote place, where are the things that city people want? Our staff begged for us to build a factory, and these things cannot be circulated. Secondly, we all remember that when this document came down, we seriously promoted it once, but it didn't work. There are many historical problems left over, and the villagers are more dissatisfied."
Gu Chengde mustered up the courage to speak up: "Secretary Huo, the town wanted to do this before and sent people to the village to hold two meetings. There was almost a commotion both times because the distribution to each family was uneven! Everyone had their own ideas, and there was no way to do it. The town gave up and never mentioned this matter again."
"I have that impression, too." A slightly older leader nodded. "Property rights reform was indeed mentioned for a while, but later on, perhaps because of too much resistance, it was no longer mentioned."
At this time, Wang Wei, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Secretary Huo, can I have a word with you?"
Huo Qianli hummed, and Wang Wei said, "I did some research on this issue at the time. A very important basis for the reform of the rural property rights system is the identification of collective economic organization membership, but this conflicts with the original rural membership. Why? Because the policy requires that the membership of collective economic organizations cannot be changed once it is identified, but the qualifications of village community members are constantly changing with the population. It would be fine if you don't make money, but when it comes to making money, who can let themselves fall behind? So this issue became a dead end almost from the beginning. Not to mention the more troublesome problems that follow."
