Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

Chapter 299 Relocation Plan for Poor Households [Tonight at 6 o’clock...

The director of the National People's Congress admires Zhou Haiyang's clear working ideas.

He immediately said: "After I am discharged from the hospital, I will personally lead a team to conduct investigations in farmers' households.

I suggest that all agencies at the municipal level send cadres to conduct preliminary investigations.Find out the basics of each township and town and be aware of it. "

When he came out of the hospital, Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but think of the scene when Liu Yan came to Huaining City to say goodbye last week before taking office in Huzhou, and the two of them were walking on the path between the grass in the municipal party committee compound.

……

Zhou Haiyang said to Liu Yan: "Since we graduated from university and arrived in Huaining, 19 years have flown by without even realizing it."

Liu Yan sighed: "If you include going to the mountains and countryside, it has been 25 years. When I was in Huaining, I didn't feel anything. When I leave, I really feel reluctant to leave this land."

"In the past few years, we have spent most of our time in counties and towns. I originally thought that we could partner with you in Huaining City. But now that you leave, it will no longer be possible.

Huzhou is not like Huaining, where there are so many acquaintances.You, the municipal party committee secretary, have a heavy responsibility! "

Zhou Haiyang then asked: "In your poverty alleviation work in Chang'an, Yuqing County, you carried out a relocation poverty alleviation project. I would like to hear about it."

"From the sound of it, you want to do something big in Huaining City?"

"When the Huaining Municipal Party Committee took office, I wanted to do it." Zhou Haiyang nodded: "The key is how to relocate? Where will the new immigrants' settlement expenses come from? I don't know what to do."

Liu Yan smiled and said: "The question you asked is the key to the entire migration process.

It is also the first issue to consider and solve before migrating.

First, natural villages with fewer people and more land must be merged into villages of a certain scale in a planned manner.

Invest in certain infrastructure construction, such as road transportation, basic housing, schools and medical stations.

Then let the people who migrated from the mountains gradually settle in these villages. "

Zhou Haiyang then asked: "The problem is, what should we do if the farmers in the mountains are unwilling to move out?

Especially some elderly people, who have lived all their lives, are often unwilling to move. "

Liu Yan chuckled: "While doing ideological work, we can provide better living conditions in the villages where we will settle down than in the mountains, so that we can attract them.

For example, farmland, residential land, and resettlement allowances can be provided according to the relocated population, which are what farmers value most.

These are easy to handle.After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, the fiscal revenue of cities and counties is now much better than in the early 80s.

The most critical point is that from the beginning of planned relocation, poverty alleviation assistance to the planned relocation areas must be gradually reduced or stopped based on the actual situation.

Completely cut off their traditional thinking of waiting, relying, and wanting, forcing them to come out and seek a way to survive. "

Hearing this, Zhou Haiyang looked at Liu Yan with wide eyes.

Liu Yan glanced at Zhou Haiyang and continued with a smile: "There is no other way, they will only come out if they are forced to a dead end.

Otherwise, as long as they have the slightest hope, these people will not be willing to leave that ghost place even if they die.

There are some things that cannot be tolerated.

Moreover, all work including relocation beforehand, resettlement during the process, and development after the event must be planned.

If I had known better, it would not be migration for the sake of migration.

After they move out, they must immediately adjust the industrial structure in the mountainous area.

Gradually return farmland to forests, restore vegetation in mountainous areas, and restore nature's original ecological environment. "

After Zhou Haiyang heard this, he was first surprised and then suddenly realized.

He stared straight at Liu Yan: "What a Liu Yan! I see, I didn't expect you to use thunderbolt methods.

Under the banner of poverty alleviation, we use poverty alleviation funds to help them rebuild their new homes.

Then use the starvation method to force the mountain people out.

How audacious you are!You are taking risks with the law. "

Regarding the relocation of people from mountainous areas, Liu Yan was indeed under great pressure, including pressure from Chang'an Commune and Yuqing County.

Many people complained, and many leaders held objections, believing that relocating people from mountainous areas would interfere with and negate poverty alleviation work.

It is also said that relocation is a waste of people and money, is too expensive, and it is not easy to see benefits in the short term. It cannot reflect the achievements of poverty alleviation work, and may be in vain.

At the beginning, Liu Yan faced the risk of going to jail and pledged his party spirit to the county committee and the county government:

Give me up to a year and guarantee that no one will die.

If someone loses his life, I will resign and accept the full force of the law.

“Fundamentally solving the poverty problem in mountainous areas requires a process, and it cannot be as simple as poverty alleviation propaganda work.

If you give some benefits to the people, they will say hello to you immediately, and your work will be successful immediately.That’s not called poverty alleviation! Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

He paused for a while and then continued: "There is nothing I can do about it.

While attracting them with better conditions, it forces them to migrate.

Only when they are forced to this point will they try to find a way to survive.

When they migrate out, they will find that this is all for their own good.

Everything in the new environment is much better than the original conditions.

Moreover, transportation is convenient and children can enjoy compulsory education. Everyone will thank me for this and praise me for doing a practical thing.

Some people who previously called me a snake-hearted person praised me for being a bodhisattva-hearted person. "

"I have to admit that your idea is bold, knowledgeable, creative, and bold, but the risk is too great. What if people starve to death? What if people are forced to die?"

"People die for money, and birds die for food. There is nothing to eat in the mountains, but there is food at the bottom of the mountain calling them, there is also a settlement allowance, and there is land that belongs to them.

Would they rather starve to death than go down the mountain?

Absolutely impossible.When you are poor, you want to change. This is human nature. "

"Chang'an was so poor at that time, how did the resettlement expenses for these migrants come from?"

“The wool comes from the sheep. The so-called resettlement allowance is actually the poverty alleviation funds originally allocated to them by the government, but it is just given to them in another way.

If you think about it, farmland and residential land are already readily available in areas with fewer people and low altitudes.

The arrival of new immigrants will not only expand the planting area, but also promote the construction of townships, which is beneficial to the indigenous people.

The key is to mobilize the first group of people to migrate out.

As long as some people migrate out and enjoy the benefits, others will follow. "

……

Zhou Haiyang made a detailed report to Yuan Qiliang on the idea of ​​relocation to alleviate poverty.

After receiving support from Yuan Qiliang, he held a meeting in the agricultural department to conduct comprehensive research and deployment.

It was determined that the entire work would be implemented by the Huaining Municipal Poverty Alleviation and Economic Development Office, and personnel from various municipal departments would be assigned to participate in the preliminary investigation.

On the first day of the second week, more than 200 people from various units gathered in the city hall auditorium.

Zhou Haiyang gave a brief speech to the cadres who were about to go to the countryside. He said: "As far as I know, most of the people here are from the countryside. After all, they are all farmers.

But how easy your life is now!

Eating royal food and receiving salary, your families are settled in the city.

In your hometown village, you are the elite, the ones who can support your family's appearance.

Your families are all proud of you as state officials.

You are the glory of the family and the glory of the village. "
