Chapter 225: County Committee approves early drought prevention plan and promotes new crops
To this end, after returning to the Andong County Party Committee compound, he immediately convened an emergency meeting of the county party committee.
After receiving the notice, cadres and leaders at all levels in Andong County went to the Andong County conference room.
This time, He Yuzhu even called the presidents and secretaries of each communes under Andong County.
For a while, the entire county party committee meeting room was overcrowded with people. There was no place to sit, and those of lower ranks could only stand against the wall.
When He Yuzhu saw that everyone was present, he spoke.
"Dear Andong County cadres and comrades, the purpose of holding this meeting today is to announce several important things. First of all, on behalf of the county party committee, I would like to commend the secretaries and presidents of our various communes for their achievements during this period, and express my sincere gratitude to the cadres of each commune.
First of all, let us discuss the first problem, which is that recently some people have reported that most of the water sources in our Andong County have experienced large-scale flow reduction.
I consulted some relevant geological experts, and they concluded that this might be a precursor to a severe drought.”
When everyone heard what He Yuzhu said, they all showed expressions of horror. You know, drought is a very serious natural disaster. It will leave thousands of miles of barren land and people will starve to death.
For this reason, Lin Liangming, deputy secretary of the county party committee, was the first to raise doubts.
"Secretary He, is the news you said accurate? Will there really be a severe drought?"
Facing Lin Liangming's questioning, He Yuzhu immediately explained:
"Secretary Liang Ming, regarding the drought, we are only speculating and cannot be 100% sure that it has happened."
As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone present began to talk.
At this time, County Magistrate Lu Qi put forward his own opinion.
"Secretary He, since this is just speculation, it means that this matter may happen, or it may not happen. In this case, should we not worry too much? Anyway, the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee have not issued any relevant notices. Are we making a big fuss?"
Before He Yuzhu could speak, Lin Jian, a loyal supporter of He Yuzhu, refuted Lu Qi's words.
"County Magistrate Lu, I don't agree with what you said. We need to nip problems in the bud. Since the reduction of water flow in the water source may be a sign of a severe drought, we must pay attention to it. Even if nothing happens in the future, at most we can take precautions and take some countermeasures in advance. There will not be any major losses, and it will not cost people money or time.
But if we just leave it alone, if it really happens, wouldn't Andong County be blind and suffer directly? I think we need to make relevant preparations and pay more attention to the seriousness of this matter. Secretary He has always warned us not to miss any details in life. I feel that his words have always taught me deeply. "
County Magistrate Lu Qi was quite unhappy to see that Lin Jian came out to oppose him again, and was about to open his mouth to continue arguing.
However, he was interrupted by He Yuzhu, the county party secretary.
"Okay, everyone, there's no need to argue. Everyone has their own reasons for this. Let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to make drought preparations in advance, please raise your hands."
As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Executive Vice County Mayor Lin Jian was the first to raise his hand, followed by a few scattered cadres.
Seeing that not many people recommended it, Lu Qi was quite proud and thought that this plan would probably fail.
Just when he was feeling proud, the county party secretary He Yuzhu also raised his hand, and mentioned,
"It's always better to be prepared, and it's never wrong to be careful."
He Yuzhu's words, coupled with his leading role.
The county party committee standing committee members also raised their hands, and the commune secretaries and presidents standing nearby responded one after another.
He Yuzhu was quite satisfied with this and announced immediately:
"I declare that with the approval of this proposal, our county will officially begin the work of preparing for drought relief. The entire county and even every commune must implement it. Do you have any questions?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "No problem..."
Seeing that this issue had been resolved, He Yuzhu finally felt relieved.
Then he changed the topic,
"Okay, everyone, let's discuss the second thing, which is the planting plan for next year.
Originally, our county committee was planning to launch a plan to plant upland rice on a large scale throughout the county, but here I have a new crop that I want to promote to everyone.”
Everyone was quite excited when they heard the news. Wang Dang, the secretary of Hengshan Commune, was the first to ask a question.
"Secretary He, I wonder what new crops the county committee has introduced this time? Can our communes grow them?"
He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.
"Secretary Wang, your question is a good one. This time we plan to launch a soybean with strong drought resistance. As we all know, soybeans not only have a lot of protein, but can also be used to extract oil and are easy to store. They are a very excellent crop..."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone was eager to try it out and expressed their desire to introduce this type of soybean to their own commune for cultivation.
At this time, Li Zhong, the deputy county chief in charge of agriculture, spoke up.
"Secretary He, what is the per-acre yield of the soybean you just mentioned, and what are the corresponding planting techniques?"
He Yuzhu heard this and immediately said,
"County Magistrate Li, and everyone else, don't worry. The yield of this soybean is expected to be around 1000 kilograms per mu. As for the corresponding planting technology, I will send professional technicians to each commune to provide guidance and support. We have already planted a small area in the Meishan area, and the effect is very good."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They were even imagining the scene of a bumper harvest next year. After all, the scene of the Meishan area with mountains and fields full of rice harvest was still vivid in their minds, and they also wanted to experience that feeling.
In fact, He Yuzhu has a big killer that he hasn't mentioned yet, and that is the Sherlock pigs and egret chickens he raises in Yangjiagou. These are good things that can change people's living standards.
After two years of development, the number of pigs and chickens has been steadily increasing. Of course, these things currently belong to him personally, but he has a high level of ideological awareness and is ready to present them to the country at the appropriate time and then promote them nationwide.
For him, these are all achievements. His primary goal now is to complete next year's harvest plan. In this way, even if a drought occurs, at least their entire Andong County will have the ability to protect itself, and it is very likely that they will be able to provide assistance to the entire Andong City and even the entire Western Liao Province.
