Volume 9, From the beginning, the fifty-third chapter

Kang Mingde walked to Lu Weimin happily, without interrupting, but just looked at Lu Weimin and Ding Guijiang with a smile on his face and looked at the planning map.

Lu Weimin ignored him, but Ding Guijiang and Kang Mingde greeted him.

"Lao Ding, the county town has been built, so how do you draw this picture now? The second bridge of Fuhe is estimated to be completed at least one year, but we must consider the changes in our entire urban area once the second bridge is completed." Lu Weimin pointed at the planning map, "Once the Ring Road is completed, our old city and the new city will be reasonably separated, and we can be closely linked. The distance between the industrial park is not close or far, leaving room for space. At the same time, Meiwu can also be connected with the second bridge through the Fuhe Bridge. If the entire Futou County has come alive, I dare not say too much. Within ten years, the overall layout of our Futou County will be decided, and there will be no need to demolish and repair the east and west again."

"Secretary Lu, it's just that the plates in this new urban area and industrial park are quite large, how much stuff can it take to fill it up? Our urban population is too small. Even if the urbanization process is inevitable, I always feel that it is in our Futou..." Ding Guijiang shook his head. He didn't know whether it was because his eyes were too shallow or Lu Weimin's structure was too big. He guessed that in this whole region, except for Fengzhou City, the planning pattern was stronger than Futou, the planning pattern of any other county was less than Futou.

Lu Weimin naturally knew what Ding Guijiang meant while sighing. Futou's urban planning seemed a bit too advanced, a bit big and inappropriate, and could even be said to be quite wasteful. A lot of land might have to be abandoned for many years before it can be developed. However, Lu Weimin knew that this step must be taken out, and the development of the city must be forward-looking enough, and the necessity of a step ahead will not be seen until then.

"Lao Ding, urbanization and industrialization must complement each other. If it is just urbanization and no industrial support, the current urban planning of our Futou will be a bit unrealistic. But if we have industrial support, then this is nothing. Lao Ding, let's calculate the situation where our enterprises settled in the industrial park this year. There are as many as 19 enterprises that have been built and put into production. Well, according to Lao Yin, almost no one has been put into production in this week. Now the number of workers in the industrial park has exceeded 800, and the employee dormitories we promised to be basically sold out. Lao Mi told me that the subsequent enterprises settled in the future have very firm requirements for this. I hope the county can continue this policy and calculate it according to the number of enterprises that have signed contracts with us and are under construction. Perhaps the number of workers in the industrial park will exceed 3,000 or even 4,000 next year."

Lu Weimin's tone was full of pride and confidence, but Ding Guijiang couldn't help but frown, "Secretary Lu, most of these workers come from rural areas in our county, and some of them come from rural areas in other counties. They cannot work in these enterprises for a long time, and it is only temporary to live in the staff dormitory. They may have to get married and start a family in the future. When they get older, they will go back to the countryside, and only a small number will stay in the county. These people are unlikely to become urban populations."

"Old Ding, let me ask you, who are the urban populations in your mind? I refer to the new urban population in the future. Where is their source?" Lu Weimin asked with a smile.

Ding Guijiang was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He recognized Lu Weimin's judgment that urbanization was a general trend, but he always felt that workers like this who worked in private enterprises were unlikely to become county people and would return to the village. But as Lu Weimin asked, who should the city people be composed of?

"Old Ding, don't you think that the people in our Futou will be those college graduates or cadres in the future, right?" Lu Weimin couldn't help but tease him when he saw Ding Guijiang unable to return.

"Secretary Lu, the workers who work in the city all have rural household registrations. Although the food supply is not restricted now, what should they do when they are old? They are not employees of state-owned enterprises. They have no retirement wages when they are old. After they are old, they can only go back to the countryside to raise their children to prevent them. They still have to rely on their children to support their elderly care. How can they live in the city? So they cannot become urban population!" Ding Guijiang finally began to refute.

"This is a problem, and it seems that there is no solution at the moment. However, as the progress of domestic industrialization and urbanization has further accelerated, I think the central government will soon put this problem on the agenda. Whether it is private enterprises, joint-stock enterprises, or even individual industrial and commercial households, they will gradually solve the pension problem through legal means, which requires a coordinated social security mechanism." Lu Weimin quickly replied: "As for household registration, it should not be a problem. After the problem of grain supply is not a problem, the meaning of household registration is the issue of social resources. There are great differences between rural areas and cities, but urbanization will gradually smooth out this difference. Of course, this may require the government to invest more in social resources. This is also a contradiction, but society itself develops in contradictions."

"Secretary Lu, what do you mean is that these workers who work in foreign-funded enterprises or private enterprises will enjoy retirement wages like employees of state-owned enterprises in the future?" Ding Guijiang was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Lao Ding, the central government has realized this. The most important part of the social security mechanism is pension security. To promote urbanization, this problem must be solved. Such medical security and minimum living security mechanisms will be gradually established and improved. So it is not correct for you to think that these farmers who work in enterprises cannot become urban residents. The transformation of traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society requires the transformation of a large number of rural population into urban populations. This is an inevitable process." Lu Weimin said quite affirmatively.

Seeing that Ding Guijiang was still a little skeptical, Lu Weimin also knew that his view may not be many people believed that urban household registration was a very attractive thing in the mid-1990s. In addition to taking the college entrance examination, transferring cadres, recruiting workers, and having few limited means, there are almost no other channels to change from rural population to urban population. Urban household registration means that there are natural advantages in recruiting and employment in state-owned enterprises, and they can also enjoy the protection of urban social resources. Therefore, the term "farmers who go to the city to work can also become urban household registration, and even have to enjoy pension security" mentioned by Lu Weimin. It is not that no one has mentioned that it has been, but it seems a bit unrealistic to put it into practice.

"Lao Ding, this is a big trend. For the economy to develop, industrialization is inevitable. Then the transformation of agricultural labor to industrial labor is a big trend. How to solve the worries of this part of the labor force is something that the central government must consider. As a government, your responsibility is to guide development and solve problems, rather than just relying on the development of the economy and not solve problems." Lu Weimin said lightly: "Although many of our local governments do not have this awareness yet, the development of society will force us to seriously consider and solve this problem."

In this case, Ding Guijiang could only nod his head silently. Lu Weimin said so affirmatively. Even if he was a little suspicious, he would not object in person.

Lu Weimin did not stop there, but continued: "So as urbanization accelerates, more and more rural household registrations are available, but it is unlikely that rural residents who are engaged in agricultural production will enter towns, such as ordinary businessmen, vendors, service workers, and those workers who have certain skills who can earn a share of their lives in towns through their hands. They and their wives and children will build a huge quasi-urban population community. As long as the conditions are right, they will gradually evolve into urban populations. This is the mainstream population for our future urbanization. As a first-level government, our responsibility is to help these people integrate into towns more smoothly and successfully."

"The enterprises that continue to settle in the Futou Industrial Park provide hope for the industrialization of Futou, and a large number of enterprises entering the company will transform more rural surplus labor into industrial labor. This mutually promoting driving effect will make our Futou urban development enter a fast lane. Entrepreneurs with a keen sense of smell and good at seizing opportunities will not give up on this opportunity. Lao Kang, don't you?"

Lu Weimin suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Kang Mingde, who was standing aside and smiling and listening to Lu Weimin and Ding Guijiang's conversation.

"Ah? Yes, yes, Futou does contain huge opportunities, otherwise the Minde Group would not have come to Futou to develop." Kang Mingde subconsciously catered to Lu Weimin's topic, and suddenly realized that Lu Weimin seemed to have something in his words. He raised his eyes suspiciously and said, "Secretary Lu, why do I think you have something in your words? Uh, is there something else that needs Minde's support?"

"Lao Kang, do you think I am the kind of person? It's time to pay you Minde Group. The Futou County Government will not lose a penny or delay a day. You are not unclear about my style. Maybe the conditions are not so satisfactory, but the promised things will never go back on their promises. Otherwise, Minde Group will not be so generous to advance funds for the Futou County Government." Lu Weimin glanced at Kang Mingde in a faint way. This guy really felt that he was really sensitive. He just had some meaning, and this guy smelled the smell. Well, Jiang Taigong fishing and the willing to take the bait. It depends on whether this guy has the courage.

"No, Secretary Lu, I'm not talking about this. I know that the money the Futou County Government should pay me will not be problematic. I mean, you just said that in your words, well, opportunity, Secretary Lu, are you implying that the Minde Group is facing some opportunities in Futou?" Kang Mingde stared at Lu Weimin and said, "Can you speak out?"
