Main deeds:
Resolutely defend a place
1997 65438+February 20, the chill was chilly. Luo, who just retired from the position of deputy director of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress, quietly returned to the old house in Niuzhuang Village.
Early the next morning, Luo went to climb the mountain. From Zhao Fengyan in front of the house to Miaowanling behind the house, he goes out early and returns late every day, trying to drill into the mountains. Neighbors smiled and said, "Lao Luo has been in the city for a long time, so he will come back to his hometown to exercise and enjoy his retirement." Although there is a "big secret" hidden in my heart, I am smiling without a word.
Before 1977, people still remember: "The lights are off, the radio is off, the roads are blocked, and Niuzhuang is like a' no man's land'".
Luo, then secretary, looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He is determined to build Jinshan Hydropower Station by himself. Do it. There is no road, Luo and more than 50 villagers personally dragged half a ton of transformers and equipment materials on the mountain covered with rain and mud. "Pull a dry boat, call a song, and the board and machinery will go down together." Today, Jinshan Power Station has developed into a comprehensive power station with three-level power stations, installed capacity of10.3 million kilowatts and annual tax payment of 700,000 yuan.
Luo is back.
"In those years when we were in office, we solved the villagers' food bags and never solved the villagers' money bags. The people are full and their wallets are flat. " Over the years, Luo has always had a sense of "debt" to the villagers. As he said, "don't let the villagers have money in their pockets, and they can't close their eyes when they die."
Zhu Kun, a villager whose home is opposite him, has the most say. "Since Luo Lao returned to his hometown, he has never been idle, either planting something or raising something." It is the ten thousand households in the village and the "top talents" in the county who get rich with Luo.
Yang San, a farmer in Jiuliping village, used to live in a thatched cottage and took turns wearing a pair of broken sneakers. At the beginning of 1999, Luo Shangmen mobilized them to plant Gastrodia elata, helped to lend 3,000 yuan, and provided some strains and technical guidance for free. At that time, the three brothers' net profit 1 000 yuan, changed the thatched house into seven brick houses. Eight years later, Yang built a new house and bought a TV, freezer and solar water heater. His life is thriving.
Luo, like an inexhaustible "kindling", ignited the villagers' passion of "digging the poor roots". During the period of 19, more than 500 households planted tobacco leaves, medicinal materials and vegetables with Luo/kloc-0, increasing their income by 5 10/00000 yuan. Li Sida, the former deputy head of Niuzhuang Township, lamented: "The pockets of ordinary people can swell up, and Luo Lao has more than half of the credit."
stubborn
In Luo's home, the study is the largest and the best decorated. Nearly 2000 books and more than a dozen newspapers and periodicals. Here, it should be the highest country bookstore in Yichang.
"Dog vigil, chicken SiChen. If you don't learn, you are a person. " Silkworms spin silk and bees make honey. People who don't learn are inferior to things. "Luo Lao pursues his life.
1998 Just after the Spring Festival, the snow has not melted yet. Lao Luo and Chen Huai 15000 yuan, went to Shaanxi and Shanxi to learn the planting technology of gastrodia elata.
This old Chen is Luo's childhood friend, Chen Konghuan, an engineer who retired from Shaanxi Geological Exploration Bureau. Gastrodia elata as a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, artificial cultivation is difficult to break through sexual reproduction. "Now that you are retired, don't do it again. What's more, it is technically difficult. Maybe, you will throw this old bones in the mountains. " Chen Konghuan kindly advised him. That night, around the stove, Luo and Chen Konghuan talked until late at night.
In the face of mastering the "golden key" to get rich, Luo hit a wall on the way to learn from the classics. "Breeding elsewhere can be successful, and so can Niuzhuang." Luo and Chen Konghuan broke out in a "bull temper" and decided to conduct sexual reproduction experiments of Gastrodia elata at home.
The first year, failure. The next year, I failed again. In the third year, success. In May, 2000, the first seed of Gastrodia elata was successfully propagated on the mountain with a freezing period of 4 months. At this time, the experiment has been carried out 100 times, and the observation records have been written in three books.
With this, there are two fingers of Luo. "The two fingers that were sawn off fell into a pile of sawdust and couldn't be found for a long time." Speaking of this, Luo's wife Li Chuanchun's eyes are red. "If I lived in the county, I wouldn't have lost my fingers at this age."
Today, the planting area of Gastrodia elata in Niuzhuang Township has grown from 220 square meters before 19 to more than 16800 square meters last year, an increase of180 million yuan.
You can rely on mountains to eat mountains. Decades of political experience have made Luo feel sad. In the past few years, he was eager to get rid of poverty, cut down forests excessively, and owed a lot of "ecological debts". Green development and industrial transformation are imminent.
"In order to urge us to plant trees, the old man has a stubborn temper." As usual, at the end of each year, especially in spring, the big gastrodia elata planters in Niuzhuang will be forced by Luo to plant more trees. Over the past five years, the township has planted 654.38+10,000 trees, and completed afforestation, corridor greening and returning farmland to forests of nearly 10,000 mu.
realize one's dream
Party member cadres take the lead in setting an example, dare to take responsibility and dare to demonstrate, which is the "know-how" of industrial poverty alleviation in Romania for decades.
In 2000, Romania suffered the biggest failure on the road of industrial poverty alleviation.
One day at the end of August that year, Luo's yard suddenly turned into a vegetable market. Dozens of farmers dragged unsold radishes to his house and asked him to underwrite them.
Originally, Luo introduced an out-of-season vegetable variety-Baiyuchun Radish, and planted 1 16 mu in Niuzhuang Village. When it was purchased in September, the only way out was that leafpool District of Liao Hua Town collapsed, leaving a lot of radishes at home. He has five meetings a day and tries his best to contact his boss to deliver goods abroad. Luo never stopped. "The sales of ordinary people are reassuring, and I don't care." Finally, Luo Lao's 80,000 Jin of radishes all rotted in the ground. The 9.6 mu planted by Li Kuanquan, a villager, was not sold out. Luo pays out of his own pocket 15500 yuan to compensate seeds, plastic film and chemical fertilizer.
Although "I will lose money if I fall", Luo firmly believes that invigorating characteristic industries is a "hematopoietic machine" to get rid of poverty and become rich, and alpine vegetables must be engaged.
In the second year, he learned from experience and lessons, organized villagers to set up professional cooperatives and signed sales contracts with large wholesale markets. The planting area of Baiyuchun radish exceeds 8,000 mu, and 23 cold storages have been built successively, increasing farmers' income by more than 20 million yuan.
What Niuzhuang people have talked about so far is the "white revolution" led by Luo. The development of plastic film covering more than 5000 mu of grain in the township has increased the yield per unit area by 100 kilograms, which has greatly solved the problem of food shortage for the masses.
From 65438 to 2009, Luo led the villagers to try planting fragrant mushrooms, burley tobacco, Chinese herbal medicines, vegetables, konjac, lily and other varieties. Also tried to raise pigs, sheep, chickens and special breeding, and finally formed three pillar industries of tobacco leaves, medicinal materials and vegetables. In 20 15, the per capita net income of farmers in the township reached 7508 yuan, which was nearly 106 times higher than that of 20 years ago.
