After returning to Honghua Township, several leaders discussed their opinions and asked the secretary to formulate a plan. The next day, Li Jianguo took Sun Zongyuan to report to Secretary Shen and County Magistrate Wang.
"What? You're not going to collect the education surcharge? How can your township finances sustain it?" County Magistrate Wang asked in surprise.
"We have done some calculations and found that there is a fiscal surplus this year, and the fiscal budget will increase next year. We want to share the wealth with the people and continue to cultivate their wealth!" said Li Jianguo.
"We plan to use the three increases and five unifications as incentives to support people in raising pigs. We plan to implement the "One Pig Per Household, One Pig" project. We plan to achieve one pig per household in the first half of next year and basically achieve one pig per person in the second half. More pigs means more fat, more fat means more food, and more money for the people."
"Let most of the people, especially rural women, engage in breeding, and let male workers go to factories to work and get paid. In the future, the people will have three sources of income: factory wage income, family breeding income, and agricultural planting income. Our people's lives will get better and better!" Sun Zongyuan replied.
"Secretary, County Magistrate, I am very optimistic about this project. I plan to invest 1 million yuan to build a feed factory with an annual output of 20,000 tons. The annual output value is expected to be 15 million yuan. I will pay 500,000 yuan in taxes as a backing for my support of the pig farming project."
"In addition, I plan to invest 5 million yuan to build a pork processing and ham sausage processing project, with an annual output of 5,000 tons of ham sausage, a production value of 12 million yuan, and a tax payment of 500,000 yuan. I can purchase at a protective price to avoid the phenomenon of live pigs not being able to be transported out, as a guarantee for the follow-up pig farming. The two projects can directly provide employment for 400 people. The planned investment is to the east of our Honghua Township, and the county's approval is still needed." Sun Zongyu talked about his investment plan.
In 1985, a boss in Henan introduced foreign equipment to start producing ham sausage. This is how Chundu ham sausage was born. The market was so large that it could fully accommodate the ham sausage processing factory built by Sun Zongyuan. Zhucheng in Shandong Province also entered the ham sausage market around 1986, and later Jinluo ham sausage became even bigger.
"Zongyuan, I know you have ideas and care about the masses. You are a good party member. But such a large investment cannot be done impulsively. If the market is not good, it will be disastrous!" Secretary Shen warned.
"Secretary, don't worry. I have some money. If it's not enough, I still have you and County Magistrate Wang. I will then borrow another 3 million yuan, and the county will give some preferential policies after the project is implemented. I feel that building two or three factories like this will not be a big problem." Sun Zongyu replied.
"What policies can the county provide?" asked County Magistrate Wang in confusion.
Not only was County Magistrate Wang confused, but other leaders were also puzzled.
"For example, the land acquisition fee can be paid off within three years. The local government where the factory is located needs to provide electricity and roads, and I can dig a well myself for water. The company cannot be inspected at will without the signature of the county mayor, etc. I, a small ordinary citizen, can't afford to offend those departments!" said Sun Zongyuan.
"County Magistrate Wang, I don't think these preferential policies are a big problem. It's not like we don't want to pay for the land, right? There are still construction companies paying taxes to the government. The government can't just do nothing and only seek benefits. I think the government should level the road, build roads and install electricity!" Secretary Shen Congde said to County Magistrate Wang.
"I think it's okay. Let's just do it boldly. We have to do things that are conducive to development, even if we make some mistakes. The key is that our county doesn't have to pay for it. It's Li Jianguo from Honghua Township who pays for it!" After saying that, County Mayor Wang Peizhong and Secretary Shen Congde both laughed.
Why did Sun Zongyuan feel that this scene was very similar to the brigade commander scheming against Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword"?
The secretary and the county magistrate invited dinner again, and Sun Zongyu followed behind. This time, the cadres in the county party committee all knew these powerful people in Honghua Township. How important must they be in the hearts of the two leaders to be able to have the secretary and the county magistrate treat them to dinner?
Is it helpful to be jealous?
Entering the cafeteria's private room, the other leaders went out to wash their hands, leaving only Secretary Shen Congde and Sun Zongyuan. Secretary Shen asked, "Don't you have another factory to build? Why didn't you say it just now?"
"I want to build a food factory to produce biscuits. I originally planned to invest in my hometown, Liuzhuang Township. My father-in-law, Lao Xu, is very supportive, but the secretary's attitude is unclear, so I am a little hesitant."
Shen Congde didn't say anything after hearing this, and everyone came over and started eating.
The three conferences, namely the winter production summary conference, the three-advancement and five-unification mobilization conference, and the winter family planning concentrated activity mobilization conference, were held together.
The meeting was chaired by Township Chief Zhao. First, the deputy secretary in charge read out the "Decision on Commending Advanced Units and Individuals in Winter Production", followed by the deputy secretary in charge reading out the "Implementation Plan for Winter Family Planning Concentrated Activities". The third item was read out by the deputy secretary in charge, "Honghua Township 1985 Three Improvements and Five Unifications Implementation Plan". The fourth item was the award ceremony: the Construction Office ranked first among the advanced units, Zhang Hongzhi and Shao Shicheng were named advanced individuals... The audience applauded and congratulated!
It seems that the Construction Office led by Sun Zongyuan is doing a good job, and the evaluations from superiors and subordinates are very consistent: very good!
During this period, family planning policies began to advocate for one child per household. While it was promoted from the top, implementation became a mandatory requirement at each level. With the exception of first-born girls, who could wait four or five years before applying for a second child, third births were generally prohibited (except for excess births). This led to the story of the sketch "Excess Birth Guerrillas." At the time, family planning was a veto. Even if a place's other work was advanced, if family planning was vetoed with a yellow card, the responsible individuals would be barred from promotion, advancement, or transfer. This, however, exploited the weaknesses of cadres at all levels, leading to some of the more extreme propaganda and actions being forced upon them.
