Chapter 2367

Although the water level this year is still higher than in normal years, it no longer has the aggressive momentum of last year. After last year's big flood, this year's water level can no longer scare people.

The people of Chongjin County have always been calm and relaxed, doing whatever they should do, without any panic.

Under their hard work, the development speed of Chongjin County is simply changing with each passing day, which makes Su Xinghui feel very gratified.

After the early rice in Chongjin County was harvested, not long after, the late rice was about to be transplanted. At this time, it rained heavily again, but this heavy rain had no impact on the transplanting.

The rain this year is generally only slightly less than last year, but the water level of the flood has always been three or four meters lower than the water level in the same period last year. This is of course due to the policy of returning farmland to lakes. Therefore, the opposition to the policy of returning farmland to lakes this year has basically disappeared.

With such iron facts, if anyone still raises an opposing voice, it is not just a problem of the head, but a problem of whether the butt is correct.

Therefore, Premier Nan's pressure has been much lighter recently.

The flood control and disaster relief situation in farming this year is not urgent, so Premier Nan has gone to the grassroots level less this year, and he has put his main energy into the reform of state-owned enterprises.

In the mid-1990s, more and more state-owned enterprises fell into difficulty. This problem could not be properly solved for a long time. Countless workers were laid off or could not receive wages. These state-owned enterprises changed from the original big tax payers to a huge burden on the Republic.

Reform is imperative, but how to reform is a very big proposition. The difficulties are very great. Even if Premier Nan wants to solve this problem, he feels it is tricky.

Last year, Premier Nan began to solve the problem of state-owned enterprise reform. However, because of the sudden super flood last year, which involved most of his energy, the progress was not very fast. This year, it was not easy for the flood situation to be not so critical, so Premier Nan put his main energy into this aspect.

Su Xinghui often saw news in this regard in the newspaper, but for Chongjin County, the problem in this regard was not very big. Chongjin County does not have many state-owned enterprises, and the scale is not large. Adding up, there are less than 10,000 workers, which is very easy to solve.

Now these workers have basically found new jobs in the Economic Development Zone, and the assets of the enterprises have also been cleaned up and rectified slowly. Those that can resume production are also resuming production. The scale of enterprises in Chongjin County is not large. Relying on the current good economic situation in Chongjin County, it is very easy to transform.

So Su Xinghui didn't pay much attention to this. For Chongjin County, state-owned enterprise reform is not a problem.

The largest source of GDP in Chongjin County is of course the Economic Development Zone. In the first half of this year, the Economic Development Zone contributed about 2 billion yuan of GDP to Chongjin County, and in the second half of the year, this number will further grow, because a batch of enterprises will be completed and put into production.

And this year's early rice also had a bumper harvest, harvesting a total of more than 400,000 tons of rice, plus the fish raised in the rice fields, the output value reached about 1 billion yuan, which made the farmers smile from ear to ear.

There is another season of late rice this year, plus the aquatic product breeding in the lake. Calculating this way, the farmers in the lake area this year will have a bumper harvest in every family.

In the hilly area in the west, cooperatives were also established, planting some economic crops, such as fruits, tobacco, Chinese medicinal materials, etc. However, there are not many economic crops that can benefit in the same year. For example, fruit trees need three years to bear fruit, so the income of the people here is not as much as the farmers in the lake area for the time being, but the potential is still very great.

After time entered August, the heavy rain was still falling intermittently, but Du Changfeng reported good news to Su Xinghui, that is, the merchants on Gulou Street had all signed relocation agreements with the county government, and they all accepted the conditions proposed by the county government and agreed to move to the storefronts in the New District.

This is because the storefronts in the New District are basically ready-made now, while the commercial area in the old district is still waiting to be developed. They can't wait, so they all agreed to move to the New District.

Now the popularity in the New District is getting more and more prosperous, and the commercial atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. If they don't go now, then after a while, I'm afraid there will be no empty storefronts for them to choose from.

Before all the residents of Gulou Street signed the relocation agreement, the residents of the shantytown had already moved away. Now, several real estate developers have entered this shantytown to demolish this shantytown and re-develop commercial real estate.

Gulou Street will also be protectively repaired. After the repair, this will become a scenic spot for tourists to visit. The wooden buildings on Gulou Street are all buildings from more than a hundred years ago, with a rich Jiangnan style. Plus, Gulou Street is all paved with bluestone slabs, which is still quite worth seeing.

The repair funds here will be provided by the Chongjin County Tourism Development Company, and after the repair is completed, it will also be included in the name of the Tourism Development Company as fixed assets for tourism development.

In early August, Su Xinghui went to Gulou Street with Du Changfeng again. This trip felt completely different from the last time. Now Gulou Street, the original residents have all moved away, and the stalls on the side of the road, including those rain sheds, have all been demolished. The entire street looks much more open.

This street is paved with bluestone slabs, and at a glance, you can't see the end. It is winding and has a lot of charm. Plus, it is raining today. Su Xinghui held an umbrella and walked on the slightly uneven bluestone slabs with Du Changfeng and others. He felt that there was a lot of Jiangnan poetic feeling here.

Su Xinghui said, "Changfeng, this street is so quiet, it's quite interesting. If you develop tourism here, it should be a bit of a deal."

Du Changfeng said, "Yes, I think so too. This is very similar to the streets in those costume TV dramas, and it has a lot of charm. I see that there will definitely be no shortage of tourists coming here to play. Maybe it can also attract film crews to come here to film."
