Chapter 2143

Jiang Zhiqing said, "Okay, County Magistrate, I will definitely pay attention to this matter. There have been many investors coming to the Economic Development Zone to inspect during this period, and I will take them to see those enterprises. Maybe there will be someone who likes these enterprises."

Su Xinghui nodded. Next, he asked about other work in the Economic Development Zone, and then got up and went around the Economic Development Zone with Jiang Zhiqing and the others to see the current situation of the Economic Development Zone.

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late March. A drizzle began to fall in the sky. This light rain made the farmers in Chongjin County very happy. Spring rain is as expensive as oil! It is the spring plowing season now. If there is no rain, it is difficult for the seeds to germinate, and it is difficult for the seedlings to grow well after germination.

This rain came in time, and the farmers worked hard in the fields. How could they not work hard? This year, the agricultural tax and the overall planning were cancelled, so their harvest was all their own. Thinking of this, they were extremely happy.

On this day, the farmers of Jingbao Village, Jinxi Township, were in full swing with spring plowing production. They chatted happily while working. In their smiles, they were full of hope for the future.

Suddenly, a group of people walked from the head of Jingbao Village. A young farmer had sharp eyes. He saw at a glance that the high-spirited young man beside the village director was Su Xinghui. He said happily, "Everyone, look, isn't that County Magistrate Su? County Magistrate Su is here!"

As soon as they heard that County Magistrate Su was here, the farmers at the scene put down their farm tools one by one and walked to the ridge of the field to welcome County Magistrate Su.

Su Xinghui often went to the countryside below to inspect the situation, and he had been to Jingbao Village twice, so many farmers here knew him.

As soon as Su Xinghui walked over, the farmers shouted one after another, "County Magistrate Su, County Magistrate Su!"

Su Xinghui walked to the ridge of the field and said to everyone, "Hello, fellow villagers!"

An elderly farmer said, "Thanks to County Magistrate Su, we are very good! Thank you, County Magistrate Su, for helping me cure my illness!"

This old farmer used to suffer from schistosomiasis. In the free schistosomiasis treatment activity implemented by Chongjin County last year, he also cured his illness at the County Schistosomiasis Prevention Hospital. His gratitude to Su Xinghui was overflowing.

There were several others at the scene who were former schistosomiasis patients or had family members with advanced schistosomiasis, and they also expressed their gratitude to Su Xinghui one after another.

Su Xinghui asked how their condition was. Among them, those whose condition was not too serious had recovered, and those whose condition was serious had also improved significantly. They are now taking medicine at home, waiting for the day of recovery.

Su Xinghui was very gratified after hearing this.

In Chongjin County, the prevalence of schistosomiasis has greatly affected the production and life of farmers. If this demon cannot be contained, the trouble caused to Chongjin County in the future will become greater and greater. Fortunately, the momentum of this demon's rampage has been contained. As long as it is well targeted in the future, schistosomiasis will no longer be a major harm in Chongjin County.

Su Xinghui also looked at the situation of spring plowing production here. Jingbao Village did not have so much land decades ago. Most of its area was a lake surface at that time. This is a small lake connected to Yanglan Lake. Later, they engaged in reclaiming land from the lake, and this place became farmland.

The land here is of course very fertile, and because the water conservancy facilities are also very developed, irrigation is convenient. It can be said that planting crops casually can have a good harvest.

And the farmers in Chongjin County have been planting rice for generations, and their technology in planting rice is also very good, which makes the rice yield here always good, basically reaching more than 500 jin. In the past, this was considered high yield.

Of course, now in economically developed areas, due to the widespread use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, coupled with the progress of breeding technology, their average yield per mu has reached about 1,000 jin, so the rice yield in Chongjin County seems a bit low.

However, the potential of rice yield in Chongjin County is very huge. As long as chemical fertilizers and pesticides are promoted, it is very easy for the rice yield per mu here to reach more than 1,000 jin. After all, the soil here is good, and the water conservancy conditions are also quite good.

However, Su Xinghui does not intend to promote chemical fertilizers and pesticides on a large scale this year, because he knows that the super flood will occur this year. If chemical fertilizers and pesticides are promoted on a large scale now, it is equivalent to throwing money into the water. Knowing that this will happen and still doing so is a crime!

So this year, Su Xinghui intends to conduct experiments in some places with slightly higher terrain, using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. His rhetoric is that as long as the rice yield per mu in these places has a significant increase, chemical fertilizers and pesticides will be promoted for agricultural production in the entire county next year.

In these places with slightly higher terrain, even if a super flood occurs, it will not be soaked in water for a long time, and rice also has a certain resistance to waterlogging. As long as it is not soaked in water for a long time, it will not die, and it will not lead to a total crop failure, so the loss will be smaller, and the impact of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on the yield per mu can also be seen.

However, Su Xinghui saw more of the farmland that came from reclaiming land from the lake today. In his view, these farmlands will have to be returned to the lake after the flood this year, and he has to prepare in advance now.

Almost all the land in Jingbao Village came from reclaiming land from the lake. After the return of farmland to the lake begins this year, the entire village of Jingbao Village will have to be relocated as a whole. At that time, this will be a major project.

The land in Jingbao Village is fertile, so the population is also very large. The land area here is as high as tens of thousands of mu, and the population has reached more than 3,000 people. Where to relocate so many people at that time is also a problem.

Su Xinghui has seen the map of Chongjin County before reclaiming land from the lake. In the entire area of Chongjin County close to Yanglan Lake, the area to be returned to the lake will reach nearly 100 square kilometers. The population living on this land has reached about 50,000, accounting for one-tenth of the county's population. This is also the essence area of Chongjin County in the past.

It is conceivable that when the farmland is returned to the lake at that time, it will be such a huge project. Not only is the resettlement of 50,000 people a big problem, but what will be submerged in the future is the home of these 50,000 people. Whether they are willing to relocate is also a big problem.

Su Xinghui has been thinking about how to do the work of these common people during this period. Of course, any words are pale and powerless now. Perhaps only the super flood that strikes violently can have the best persuasiveness.

Su Xinghui focuses on how to solve the livelihood of 50,000 people and where to move them.

If relocating to other townships in the county, this is a difficult thing. It is equivalent to reducing the per capita land of the common people in the places where they are to be relocated. This work is even more difficult to do. Land is life for farmers. Letting them take out their lives, the difficulty of persuasion is self-evident.

Of course, there is also a relatively good news now, that is, the enterprises that have moved into the Economic Development Zone have exceeded 100. At that time, the labor force they can absorb can reach 10,000 to 20,000. Su Xinghui intends to let them give priority to absorbing the common people in the lake area who are to be relocated, so that a part of the labor force can be digested, so that the common people here have a stable livelihood.

As for their residence, this is easy to handle. For their return of farmland to the lake, the government must have a compensation. With this compensation, they can buy commercial housing or affordable housing in the county town to live in, which can be regarded as Chongjin County realizing a part of the urbanization of the rural population in advance.

The money they are compensated, in addition to buying a house, will have a balance. With this balance, they can be used to rent a storefront to do some small business as a livelihood.

With a place to live, a job, and the ability to do business, these 50,000 people can be properly resettled, which makes the big stone in Su Xinghui's heart slightly put down.

So during this period, Su Xinghui runs to various townships in the lake area every day, calculating which areas need to be returned to the lake and how many people need to be resettled. Now these things cannot be planned, but Su Xinghui must keep them in mind and do some preparatory work to avoid being caught off guard at that time.

There is one good thing in Chongjin County, that is, Su Xinghui knew in advance that there would be a big flood this year, and after the big flood, the central government would return farmland to the lake in the Yanglan Lake area. Therefore, Su Xinghui can use his convenience as the County Magistrate of Chongjin County to prepare in advance under other names.

Another convenience is that Chongjin County has great investment efforts and introduces many enterprises. Therefore, these enterprises can solve most of the employment problems of relocation immigrants, which is incomparable to other lake area counties.
