On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, Sun Zongta bought fireworks worth 1,000 yuan and set them off for two hours. Rich people are generous, even those who have big loan sharks!
On the 17th day of the first lunar month, Professor Guo Mingyi of the Agricultural College, along with a teacher and three students, came to the Yuanda Pig Farm in Honghua Township. After a deep discussion with Sun Zongyuan, they reached the following agreement:
Sun Zongyu hired Guo Mingyi from the College of Agriculture as the team leader, and led a technical advisory team consisting of at least two teachers and four graduate students majoring in animal husbandry as members. The advisory team used Yuanda Pig Farm as the College of Agriculture's production, teaching and research practice base. The advisory team put forward work suggestions on the modernization, management and operation of the pig farm, and built the pig farm into a large-scale demonstration farm with a capacity of 20,000 pigs.
The pig farm allocates 3,000 yuan of funds to the working group on a monthly basis.
The cooperation period is initially planned to be three years, and the agreement can be terminated early if there are policy changes, etc.
Privately, Sun Zongyuan promised teacher Guo Mingyi that Guo Mingyi would receive a monthly subsidy of 300 yuan, another teacher would receive 150 yuan, and graduate students would receive 50 yuan per month.
Teacher Guo Mingyi was very happy. After signing the agreement, he drank too much and stayed overnight in a small hotel in Honghua Township. The next day, he went back to report to the leaders of the Agricultural College.
Time flies.
On March 10, at the end of the month, with the strong support of the county party committee and government and the help of the county transportation bureau, the cadres and masses of Honghua Township worked together and worked hard. In just one month, they built Zhenxing Road, the widest road in the county at seven kilometers in length, and completed a three-kilometer extension of the road.
In the past few days, leaders from other brother towns came to visit and learn every day, and reporters from local newspapers and radio stations came to interview every day. Li Jianguo and Zhao Yuncheng were busy every day, but they always had smiles on their faces. It was a highlight moment, and of course it was happier than getting married!
On March 12, the entire region held a spring production mobilization meeting and a spring afforestation mobilization meeting at the Zhenxing Road construction site in Honghua Township, Anyang County.
The venue was decorated with fluttering red flags. Behind the rostrum was a large background platform, on which was displayed the grand plan for Honghua Township: an industrial park and commercial wholesale area would be built on both sides of Zhenxing Road.
The meeting was chaired by Commissioner Qi.
First, Anyang County Party Secretary Wang Peizhong delivered a report on winter production. When he recounted the spontaneous efforts of Honghua Township residents to build Zhenxing Road even during the Spring Festival, the county officials seated in the audience sighed in admiration. When he pointed to the Honghua Township planning map behind him and explained the significance of Zhenxing Road, the officials were even more impressed by the vision of Anyang County and the tiny Honghua Township, wondering: Is this something a township could accomplish? When they mentioned that Honghua Township's fiscal revenue exceeded 1.2 million yuan last year, that it had built a new factory this year, that the township had raised over 20,000 pigs, and that it had achieved fiscal revenue of over 2 million yuan this year, the astonishment was even greater: How did they do it? Why can't we?
Secretary Li Chuanyou of the Prefectural Party Committee made an important speech, the core message of which was:
In Anyang County and even Honghua Township, the people spontaneously built Zhenxing Road during the Spring Festival, which aroused deep thought.
The team is united and capable, able to lead everyone to prosperity, with each household receiving a Landrace pig, education surcharges reduced or exempted, and agricultural product processing fully utilized in the Third Front factories, which will enter the international market and earn foreign exchange through exports. This will provide foreign exchange for the country, tax revenue for the government, jobs for the people, and high prices for fruit...
The team has broad thinking and is motivated. They make a plan and work around it, without falsification or deception. They work hard and down-to-earth. The people can see it, and they will be motivated to come to the road construction site during the Spring Festival...
The leadership team is compassionate and cares deeply about the people. Everything they do is for the people. They've signed an industry-university-research-practice base agreement with the Provincial Agricultural College, and they've been able to provide substantial subsidies for the development of Landrace pig farming. They're leading the people, demonstrating their work to their advantage, and helping them become prosperous. Of the township's 6,300 households, over 3,000 currently work in factories, construction companies, or run small businesses. By the end of the year, every household will have two Landrace pigs. That's nearly half the households. Calculate the annual income of our people. It's probably double what we earn in some counties...
The team's decision-making is scientific and service-oriented. To help the people get rich raising pigs, they built a 10,000-ton feed mill in Liuzhuang Township, a breeding base for 2,000 sows in the middle, and a meat processing plant with an annual processing capacity of 5,000 tons. This one-stop service means there's no need to worry about buying feed or selling pigs. This kind of service awareness is generally lacking among our cadres...
All those sitting in the meeting room were leading cadres, at least at the deputy county level, and Sun Zongyuan sat around the venue as a service staff member.
Listening to Secretary Li Chuanyu's speech on the loudspeaker, Sun Zongyu's face turned red. Everyone felt the same way. They didn't expect that the road construction issue would cause such a big stir. They didn't expect that just a few things would be done, but after Secretary Li's summary, it seemed to be of great significance.
I didn’t think too much at that time. I just wanted to build the road. As the saying goes: If you want to be rich, build roads first; if you want to get rich fast, you have to run fast; it is difficult to get rich without roads in mountainous areas; build roads to wealth and build a well-off family!
As he was speaking, he saw Li Jianguo waving at him, and he hurried over. The meeting was over, and the leaders at all levels gathered in front of the Honghua Township planning map, which was the background of the meeting, pointing and commenting. Secretary Li Chuanyou and Commissioner Sun Peiqing also surrounded Li Jianguo and asked him to explain the plan. How could Li Jianguo explain clearly what would happen in the next thirty or forty years? He was sweating anxiously and pulled Sun Zongyuan over to deal with the emergency. He said to the leaders:
"This plan was created by Sun Zongyuan, our township's executive deputy head. We thought it was good, so we held a meeting to confirm it. He understands the specifics best, so let him explain it to the leaders!"
"This young man is the executive deputy township head. He's already 20, and I don't know anything at my age."
"Comparison is the thief of joy. Look at what they've come up with. Why didn't we think of it?"
Everyone was talking about it.
Secretary Li Chuanyou signaled Sun Zongyuan:
"Little Village Chief Sun, then tell us!"
"Okay, Secretary Li, Commissioner Sun, and everyone."
"Before I made this plan, I carefully studied the development of our Ganhe region, especially Ganhe City. I personally believe that Ganhe will be demarcated as a city within ten years. Therefore, the current Ganhe City will have to be divided into districts or split into two or three districts. Ganhe City currently has a population of 800,000, of which less than 300,000 are urban residents, and the urban area covers less than 30 square kilometers. I believe that China's future development is immeasurable. Industrialization and urbanization are driving the growth of cities. In 30 years, the population of Ganhe prefecture-level city will reach 3-4 million, accounting for 50% of the entire region, and the urban area will cover more than 300 square kilometers. Looking at the area around Ganhe now, there are mountains to the north and a river to the east. If the south continues to develop, it will not be far from the provincial border. The only direction of development is westward, which is where our Honghua Township and several other towns are located. Is this the case?"
