Chapter two hundred and fifty-one
Holding the large radish bone soup sprinkled with coriander and chopped green onion, my father said: "This radish from Xinwuji should really be promoted. It is crispy, sweet and has a high yield."
"I guess Xuan." Zhou Zhi poured cold water on it: "It's okay to promote it around and eat it yourself, but it's hard to sell it."
"Why?"
"Because they don't look good, they have thin skin, a lot of water, and tend to crack. Cracked radishes are easy to spoil, so it's not easy to sell them."
"Indeed." The third sister said, "My mother will pick out the radishes that are not cracked and sell them. The rest will be eaten by herself or fed to the pigs."
"It's a pity." Dad said: "Eh? Can Xiaojuan'er and your aunt use it?"
"That's far away. As the old saying goes, moving tofu is the price of meat." Zhou Zhi also drank sweet radish soup every day: "But moving from Baimi Village like Monk and the others can be considered."
"That's not bad." Dad said: "Baimi Township is a township supported by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but how to support it also needs to be considered."
"Actually, it's very simple. Dad, do you know about the water shortage in Baimi Township?"
"Baimi Township, is there a shortage of water?" Dad wondered: "A place surrounded by the Yangtze River will be short of water?"
"Normally not." Zhou Zhi said: "But as far as I know, almost all the small reservoirs in Baimi Township and Wanglong Township are abandoned."
"There is no such thing in Fengming Township." Dad said: "When I was the party secretary, the people complained that the reservoir in Fengming Township 'held the sun during the day and the moon at night.' However, it took a lot of effort to remove those small reservoirs.
The water conservancy was restored."
"That's the problem." Zhou Zhi said: "Baimi Township is across the river, but it turned out to be dark under the lamp."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country spent huge efforts to first address the management of large rivers that pose a serious threat to the safety of people's lives and property. Later, in order to quickly restore the national economy, it also attached great importance to farmland water conservancy construction.
After a series of planned and step-by-step restoration and development of flood control, irrigation, drainage, desilting, water power, river dredging, canal construction and other water conservancy projects, in 1953 alone, Hub Province alone completed various projects
More than 70,000 small water conservancy facilities have been constructed.
With the development and advancement of the cooperative movement, farmland water conservancy construction has gradually been integrated with it. In the note written by the great man for the book "The Socialist Upsurge in China's Rural Areas", the great man pointed out: "Each county should implement its own comprehensive plan
, make an appropriate water conservancy plan.
The construction of water conservancy is a major event to ensure the increase of agricultural production. Small-scale water conservancy can be carried out by counties, districts, townships and cooperatives. It is very necessary to set a plan and implement it in stages within a few years. Except when encountering irresistible floods, droughts and famines,
It is absolutely possible to plan to ensure that there is water in the event of drought and drainage in the event of floods."
Since then, my country's farmland water conservancy construction has entered a period of rapid development, finally reaching its climax in the 1960s.
Although rapid development has brought about many problems such as too large stalls, too many construction projects, project quality that cannot meet the requirements, management levels that cannot keep up, and the completed water conservancy projects cannot play their due role, in the "mainly water storage, small-scale
Under the guidance of the "three main" water conservancy policy of "mainly by the people and mainly by social organizations", the New China's farmland water conservancy construction movement, which is characterized by "people's efforts" more than any other historical period in China, will also continue to develop in the next few decades.
plays a huge role.
Until Zhou Zhi crossed over, these farmland and water conservancy projects across the country were still playing their role, and the entire nation was still enjoying the "dividends" created in those twenty years.
But this also refers to large projects and important projects, such as those small reservoirs, small canals, and small dams in Baimi Township and Wanglong Township that benefit one or two townships at most. Because the townships cannot organize the same force as they did back then, it will inevitably lead to
Disrepair, failure.
This is the reason why droughts have begun to appear in Baimi Township, a land of plenty.
Because there was not so much cultivated land in Baimiwanglong Township in the past, after the rise of small water conservancy, the cultivated land area has correspondingly increased significantly.
When those small water conservancy projects begin to fall into disrepair and fail, the increased fields relying on these water conservancy projects will face floods and droughts.
Only when Zhou Zhi analyzed all this with everyone at the dinner table did his father realize that the situation in Baimi Township had become like this.
It was Liu Dachuan's first time to come to Zhou's house. Although he had heard from Zi Yuan about the various miracles of his little cousin, and even that he was the protagonist of Zhou Zhi's divination, he had not personally listened to Zhou Zhi's local water conservancy history in conjunction with the country's history.
, the evolution over the years, analysis of importance and advantages and disadvantages, analysis of the causes of disrepair, what are the difficulties in renovation, and a comprehensive analysis of various factors in the county's economy, politics, and township organization.
The thoughtful father nodded slightly while drinking soup and eating radish.
In fact, Zhou Zhi's style today is the style of many officials' children in ancient times, commonly known as "yamen".
Because of "Water Margin" and other reasons, the word yameni has never been a good word, but there must be a small number of yameni who cheat like Gao Yanei.
More children have been studying hard under the guidance of their fathers and brothers since they were young. They began to "observe politics" at a young age. When they grew up, they worked in front of the government office as book clerks and experienced practical work as staff before they were elected.
Zhou Zhi believes that the narrower the employment opportunities, the more severe the involution will be.
This is a superstructure determined by economic laws and cannot be changed by the nonsense of future generations.
Zhou Zhi does not consider himself to be a yameni. His father is the director of a county bureau. There are rumors that he will be promoted to deputy director of the municipal bureau. However, in ancient times, although he could be classified as a "bureaucrat" in terms of administrative level, in terms of position,
It is said that they still belong to "officials".
It's just that the Zhou family's family tradition is like this. Everyone has a chance to speak. If what they say makes sense, it doesn't matter their status. It's more of an equal treatment.
Such discussions have indeed exercised many of Zhou Zhi's abilities - logic, thinking, speech, debate, lobbying...
Everyone else is actually used to this talkative king at the dinner table, but Liu Dachuan, who saw it for the first time, thought...
A person's name and the shadow of a tree are truly unlucky.
"You can actually write these into an article." Dad said: "It's called "Inspection Report on the Current Situation of Jiachuan Water Conservancy Facilities". Now that you and Uncle Hua are familiar with each other, show it to him then and tell him whether it is useful or not.
It's much better for him to make the decision than for you to talk nonsense here, right?"
"That can't be done." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Now the county's finances are already in difficulty. There are some things that should be done. But when it comes to money, there is really no money."
"So if the report is handed in, let's say it makes sense, it really makes sense; but if we say let's do it, then there are really no conditions. Wouldn't it only embarrass Uncle Hua?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Using the counterpart support program of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, we will first do our best to develop a small project that can be promoted and let the county see the results. Then we will submit the report and let the county apply the model and provide guidance. Only in this way can we almost get things done.
Gotta get up."
