life in the sky

According to the materials prepared by Zheng Wei in advance, Mu Guoxing knew that most of the dozen or so deputies to the National People's Congress were relatively well-known people in the scientific and technological circles in China, and one of them was Hou Jixiang, the most famous breeding expert in China.

For this interview, Mu Guoxing is still very sure. Although he is not very familiar with the situation in the scientific and technological circles, he also believes that most people in the scientific and technological circles are patriotic. They asked to see Mu Guoxing this time. It is nothing more than two purposes. One is to explore the central government's bottom line on the implementation of the [-] project with Mu Guoxing, and the other purpose is to discuss with Mu Guoxing. All and the advantages and disadvantages of the four major grain merchants.You must know that some elites claim to be representatives of intellectuals, but these people absolutely cannot represent these patriotic people in the scientific and technological circles.The National People's Congress has put a lot of effort into organizing this interview, and they will definitely not allow some diehards to participate in today's interview.

Hou Jixiang is almost 70 years old, perhaps because he has been working at the grassroots level all year round. He has a dark complexion and a very strong body. He does not have the fragile appearance of ordinary high-level intellectuals. It can be considered that this ugly little old man is a farmer.

"Thanks to the chief for meeting us in his busy schedule."

Judging from the arrangement of the seats, Hou Jixiang is the main representative of these people's congresses. It is no wonder that Hou Jixiang is not only the most famous breeding expert in China, but also a member of the Academy of Engineering. Received and commended by Chief No. [-], he was hailed as one of the most contributing scientists in China.

Intellectuals do not, like government officials, put a lot of politeness before speaking. They always go straight and say what they have.

"Boss, I also participated in the last national rural work conference. I think the [-] project currently launched by the central government is a good policy that benefits the country and the people. But at the same time, there are still some issues that are not clear. I am here to ask the chief for instructions." .”

"Mr. Hou, you are the most famous breeding expert in our country, and you have made indelible contributions to our country's agricultural development and food production. Even if you didn't take the initiative to come to see me this time, I'm still planning to spend time with you Let's talk."

Mu Guoxing's words are very humble and to the point. He knows that if the central government's [-] project is to be carried out smoothly, especially to increase our country's grain production and squeeze out Tieshandu Company, it is absolutely inseparable from the old Hou Such a patriotic specialist.If you want to govern the country well, you must listen to different opinions from all sides. As long as they are sincerely patriotic, even if they speak harshly, they can be forgiven.

"Chief, I think there are mainly the following factors that affect our country's grain production. First, some grassroots cadres and even some senior cadres have insufficient understanding of the importance of grain production, and the work has been carried out very unevenly. In recent years The national grain production has achieved restorative growth, the grain output is relatively stable, and the overall market supply is relatively sufficient, so some local officials are not so tight on the work of grain production. To a certain extent, there is a phenomenon that the top is hot and the bottom is not hot , If you want to solve this problem, the thinking of cadres is a big problem.”

Mu Guoxing nodded, and Hou Jixiang said again: "Second, the cost of food production has generally risen, and the incentive effect of policies has declined. Since last year, the prices of land rent, agricultural materials, labor, and machine farming have risen sharply, far exceeding In addition to the benefits brought by the central grain support policy to large grain growers, the incentive effect of the policy has been weakened, resulting in farmers' low enthusiasm for growing grain."

"Third, it is difficult to cultivate the main body of grain production, and the long-term mechanism has not yet been established. Based on what I have learned at the grassroots level, I suggest that the central government take the cultivation of large grain growers, grain production cooperatives, and the development of large-scale grain operations as the main direction of attack. Establish a long-term mechanism for the stable development of grain production."

"Fourth, the farmland infrastructure is weak, which affects the ability of food production. At present, our country is seriously inadequate in terms of farmland water conservancy facilities. Farmers are unwilling to invest, and some are unable to invest. Some farmland infrastructure is aging and in disrepair. In the final analysis, this is because the cadres do not pay enough attention to food production.”

While Mr. Hou was speaking, Mu Guoxing not only listened very carefully, but also picked up a pen from time to time to write down the key points of Hou Jixiang's words. This action deeply moved the deputies to the National People's Congress who participated in today's interview.Some cadres nowadays, not to mention the heads of the central government like Mu Guoxing, even some provincial and ministerial officials will never record what their subordinates say. Officials pay attention to pragmatism, and they will take things that are beneficial to them out of context Record a few words, they won't bother with things that are not good for them.

"Hou Lao's speech is very good, and it is also the first-hand material he often gets at the grassroots level. We should encourage our deputies to the National People's Congress, especially experts in the field of science and technology, to go to the countryside to take a look and help the central government find To find a road that is more suitable for rural development, if you listen to it, you will be clear and you will be obedient, and we also ask the majority of cadres to do this."

Mu Guoxing's words resonated with these deputies to the National People's Congress. A member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo can be so approachable and humbly listen to different opinions from all sides. What a broad mind must be.

Sun Hongpei, the president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: "We are very encouraged by the chief's speech. Recently, I have also been walking down there and learned something. If the chief allows, I will take this opportunity to report. "

Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "You know everything, and you can talk endlessly. Please tell Dean Sun what you have, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. As long as it is beneficial to the country and work, speak boldly."

"The situation I see below mainly includes the following aspects. The most important thing is that the area of ​​cultivated land has dropped sharply year after year, which has affected the stable improvement of grain production capacity. In recent years, with the accelerated pace of urbanization, the urban area has rapidly increased. Expansion, extension and widening of highways, rapid construction of development zones, and the emergence of various types of fashionable places such as tourism, leisure, vacation, entertainment, etc., coupled with the implementation of the national forest protection policy of "one return and three returns", has reduced the area of ​​cultivated land in recent years. The rate of decline is accelerating. Extensive management of cultivated land exists in different regions, which affects the land output rate to varying degrees."

"Because our country has a large population and little land, it is not only difficult to form economies of scale on the limited arable land, but also restricts the wide application of modern agricultural production technologies, resulting in certain restrictions on the land output rate. The weak agricultural infrastructure also It cannot effectively guarantee the steady improvement of grain production capacity.”

When Sun Hongpei said this, he looked at Mu Guoxing cautiously, and found that the young head of the central government had a peaceful face and did not express any displeasure. The infrastructure is weak, the ability of agricultural production to resist natural disasters is not strong, and the production capacity is unstable. Take the construction of farmland water conservancy as an example. Some new questions."

"Another problem is that the comparative efficiency of grain production is low, and there is still room for farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. In recent years, due to the rapid rise in the price of agricultural production materials and the low grain price, the comparative efficiency of growing grain is relatively low. According to the statistics of relevant departments: In the past five years, the average net income per mu of the production of six major grains is 5 yuan, which is 123.99% of cotton, 48.4% of flue-cured tobacco, and 31.2% of vegetables in the same period. Compared with the breeding industry, the gap is even bigger. Although since the second half of the previous year Grain prices have generally risen sharply. In addition, the country has implemented the "grain direct subsidy" policy in the past few years, and the income from growing grain has increased significantly. However, the prices of agricultural production materials mainly including chemical fertilizers, agricultural films, pesticides, and agricultural diesel oil have also followed up rapidly. As a result, most of the benefits given to farmers by the state are divided up by industry and commerce, and there is still room for farmers’ enthusiasm for grain production.”

Sun Hongpei paused, wanting to give Mu Guoxing time to think, but he didn't know that Mu Guoxing understood what he meant just after he finished speaking, and said with a smile: "Dean Sun spoke very well. OK, please continue."

Sun Hongpei, who was encouraged, was very happy, and his language became smoother: "In addition, the white pollution of cultivated land refers to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural film, and the black pollution refers to water and the environment, which leads to the decrease of organic matter content in the land and the decline of soil fertility. ; Coupled with the slow growth of farmers' income; the further widening of the gap between urban and rural areas, etc., have affected the improvement of grain production capacity to varying degrees."

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences wrote a report to the central government, suggesting that first, local governments should resolutely implement the Land Management Law and the State Council's "Basic Farmland Protection Regulations", strictly prohibit all forms of illegal land occupation, and strictly prohibit small land occupation in land approval. More, more batches are occupied, and even unapproved pre-occupation, more occupations and less reporting and other fraudulent behaviors, earnestly fulfill the balance of occupation and compensation, and protect basic farmland from encroachment. Second, the authority to grant land is strictly prohibited, and land approval beyond the authority is strictly prohibited. Third, prohibit Occupy cultivated land for performance projects, image projects, landscape avenues, etc., and rationally plan the construction of small towns. Fourth, conscientiously implement the "Rural Land Contract Law", actively explore and promote the rational transfer of farmland, prevent land from being abandoned, and strengthen agricultural infrastructure and ecology Environmental construction, improve the ability of agricultural sustainable development."

"First of all, we must continue to increase investment in major grain producing areas, establish an investment and financing mechanism with farmers as the main body, and combine the state, localities, collectives, society, and foreign capital to expand the source of agricultural investment. Seriously implement the state's agricultural investment. Various supporting policies ensure that the growth rate of agricultural investment is higher than the growth rate of fiscal revenue. We must make full use of financial discounts, introduction of funds, policy guidance and other means to guide domestic funds to invest in major grain, cotton and oil production areas. Secondly, we must strengthen the use of water conservancy Focus on farmland infrastructure construction. Focusing on solving the three major problems of flood prevention and waterlogging, drought and water shortage, and water environment deterioration, scientific planning, overall planning, comprehensive treatment of both symptoms and root causes, and comprehensive management will enhance the ability of agricultural production to resist natural disasters and achieve sustainable development. Third, strengthen the construction of six small projects in rural areas such as drinking water safety for people and livestock in rural areas, rural roads, and rural biogas, so as to improve the production and living quality of farmers.”

"From now on, we must start from the field production of agricultural products, improve the impact of water, soil, and the environment on product quality, resolutely follow standardized production, and solve problems such as pesticides, toxic ingredients, radioactive substances, and heavy metals in agricultural products such as grain. We must speed up The national identification of pollution-free agricultural product production bases and the certification of national pollution-free products, increase government investment, and guide farmers to take the road of standardized agricultural production. Vigorously develop the agricultural product processing industry and increase the processing and conversion rate of agricultural products. It is necessary to vigorously introduce Advanced production and processing technology and equipment, advanced production and operation methods, and management concepts have shifted a large number of primary processing to intensive processing such as biology, medicine, environmental protection, and energy. Further increase support for key agricultural product processing enterprises and form a large number of industrial associations Various types of leading enterprises with high degree, high level of technical equipment, and strong radiation driving ability."

Sun Hongpei's speech took 15 minutes to end. While he was speaking, he observed Mu Guoxing calmly, and found that the young head of the central government was listening very carefully. From time to time, Sun Hongpei knew that what he said had moved Mu Guoxing.

Different voices finally appeared. Just after Sun Hongpei finished speaking, another academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences named Zheng Jieyun continued: "Chief, from the investigations of Mr. Hou and Dean Sun, we can see that our country's agricultural production is still very backward. , food production is also at a very low level of development, which requires us to adopt advanced production technology in addition to increasing investment in agriculture. Science knows no borders, as long as it can make our country's agricultural production If we get it right, we can also implement take-it-yourself doctrine.”

Mu Guoxing asked calmly: "Academician Zheng, please explain clearly."

Zheng Jieyun smiled, and said pretendingly: "Due to the different research work I am engaged in, I have also met many people in the scientific community during this period. Some people still have different views on the [-] project formulated by the central government. I don't know. Will the chief allow me to speak out on this occasion?"

VIP Chapter 480 Eight Consequences Are Serious

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "As long as it is beneficial to our country and nation, and it can be done out of public interest, everyone should be allowed to speak out if they have something to say."

Zheng Jieyun felt that Mu Guoxing's words had another meaning, but now that the arrow was on the line, he couldn't help but stop saying it.After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "Chief, the three rural policies formulated by the central government, and the increase in investment in rural areas within three years, and strive to raise my country's grain production to a higher level, I think these two The principles and policies are very correct. However, is it debatable to use three years to gradually squeeze foreign-funded enterprises out of my country's agricultural production field? Of course, I am only a scientific researcher, and I cannot criticize the central government's policies. The policy is self-criticizing. But considering the interests of our country, I have no choice but to speak out boldly here."

In fact, without Zheng Jieyun talking, Mu Guoxing could guess what he was going to say next.According to what we learned in advance, Zheng Jieyun was very active in this Internet debate. It can also be said that Zheng Jieyun is a royal literati bought by the four major grain merchants in the United States and the Tieshandu Group.But Mu Guoxing has to let him speak now, because he knows very well that these people are playing the banner of pleading for the people, and they can also confuse a group of kind-hearted scientists. Only by letting them fully expose can everyone Increased alertness is very good for the next step of work.

"I've already said it just now. I know everything without saying anything. Academician Zheng, please tell me!"

"Chief, I think the first two of the three-three-three projects formulated by the central government are very good, but to be honest, there are a lot of different opinions on the second three. Just now, Mr. Hou and Dean Sun have talked about it. There are still many problems in agricultural production in our country, and advanced scientific production technology is the most fundamental way to improve agricultural production. If we squeeze foreign-funded enterprises out of the field of agricultural production now, it will actually make our agricultural production lack Without the driving force, without the advanced science and technology brought by foreign capital, if we want to raise the grain production to a higher level in three years, how easy is it?"

Zheng Jieyun paused for a moment, looked at Mu Guoxing, then at several other deputies to the National People's Congress, and continued: "Although our country's grain production has grown rapidly in the past few years, judging from the situation in the past few years There is still a big gap, we still need the grain in the hands of the four major grain merchants in the United States. Iron Mountain has invested tens of billions of dollars in our country in recent years, and its purpose is to help our country increase grain production, of course , businessmen are all profit-seeking, and they have also obtained relatively large profits during this period. If you pay, you will get something. This is also in line with the law of economic development. If we don’t let others make money, who will come to invest in our country in the future? ah?"

Zheng Jieyun's words were meant to criticize the central government's policies, and Hou Jixiang hurriedly said: "Old Zheng, I think you may have misunderstood the central government's policies. The central government does not oppose the entry of the four major grain merchants or Tieshandu into our grain production." field, but to protect our country’s food security. Under this major premise, I think it is correct for the central government to use economic means to gradually squeeze them out of our country’s grain production field. Vice Premier Mu said that food is not If you hold it in your own hands, you will not be able to sleep well, this sentence is deafening!"

Zheng Jieyun said: "Old Hou, what we are paying attention to now is global economic integration. Food is produced in our country, isn't it in our hands? As long as the output increases, why should we care who produced it? Or how was it produced?"

Hou Jixiang has made great achievements in breeding, but he is far from Zheng Jieyun's opponent in these theoretical aspects. Hearing Zheng Jieyun's words, Hou Jixiang didn't speak anymore, frowning and thinking, he always felt that Zheng Jieyun's words were wrong Something is wrong, but I can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong.

Sun Hongpei said: "Academician Zheng, I disagree with your point of view. Recently, I have also seen some debates on the Internet. A team of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is also researching these issues. We believe that food security cannot rely on foreign countries. Production must also not rely on the so-called production technologies provided by Iron Mountain. There is a misunderstanding in what you just said. Food produced in our country is ours, but what if there is a disaster year? Besides, if Let the four major grain merchants control the grain prices in our country, what should we do then?"

Sun Hongpei thought for a while and then said: "Now that we have said this, we have to have doubts about the four major grain merchants and Tieshandu Company's vigorous promotion of genetically modified crops in our country. Tieshandu Company provides farmers in our country with Seeds, but we must use the pesticides and fertilizers they produce, otherwise, we will not be able to produce food. If this continues, if one day they don’t provide us with seeds, or they get stuck in our necks in this regard, How do we rely on to develop our country’s agriculture? Whether genetically modified food is safe or not is a big debate in the scientific community. If one day it is scientifically proven that genetically modified food is very harmful, what will our people eat?”

Hou Jixiang followed up and said: "Dean Sun is right. I just didn't want to understand this matter just now. No one knows whether genetically modified food is safe. If Tieshandu Company is allowed to go on like this, no one will come out." In ten years, all the crops in our country will become genetically modified crops. Once the genetically modified food is declared unsafe, how can we feed more than one billion people? Do we rely on the four major grain merchants? Will they have such kindness? Even if they sell us a little For food, the price will be determined by them at that time, aren't we putting a shackle around our own necks?"

The three of you said nothing to each other. This is what these scientists can do. If they were some government officials, they would never dare to argue like this in front of Mu Guoxing.

"The speeches of the three are very good!" Mu Guoxing coughed slightly and began to speak: "Now the focus is on whether genetically modified foods are safe. Before the problem is clarified, we must not give up all hope." It depends on this. On the surface, it seems that what Iron Mountain is doing is market behavior. In fact, whether they have other purposes, we don’t know yet. I think this issue must arouse our great attention, even if they There is no other purpose, and we must not hand over our food security to foreign companies. With a population of more than one billion, if it is difficult to eat at one point, the consequences will be very serious. This is one of the reasons why the central government implements the [-] project the most important reason."

Mu Guoxing looked at Mr. Hou, then at Dean Sun, and said, "I hope the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will come up with a plan as soon as possible to provide farmers with high-quality seeds and advanced agricultural production technology. Our Scientists in the country are very smart, not at all stupid than Americans. What they can do, we can do the same, and do better. The central government is going to allocate a batch of funds to fully support the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in this regard research work."

After a short pause, Mu Guoxing continued: "The central government is going to hold a national food security work conference next month. Reward these people heavily!"

Mu Guoxing took a sip of tea, and looked at Zheng Jieyun intentionally or unintentionally: "Now there are a group of so-called experts running behind the ass of foreigners, advocating the safety of genetically modified foods, and opposing the central government's efforts in food production and processing. And the sales policy, thinking that we will starve to death without the four major grain merchants and Iron Mountain Corporation in the United States. This kind of thinking is very wrong. The central government hopes that these people can change as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be It is very serious. The only criterion for judging right and wrong is to see which side a person's butt is sitting on and whose interests are represented. This is a principled issue that cannot be questioned by anyone."

Zheng Wei looked at his watch, walked over, and said softly to Mu Guoxing: "Chief, the time for the interview has arrived!"

Mu Guoxing stood up: "Let's stop here today. Please write up what you want to say in a report. In addition, please bring a sentence to some people with bad ideas. It cannot represent the interests of the broadest masses of the people. The party The people and the people will never tolerate it. Sooner or later, these people will make big mistakes."

VIP Two thousand four hundred and eighty nine chapters come with us

Mu Guoxing originally wanted to use Zheng Jieyun's message to warn some so-called experts who were bought by the four major grain merchants in the United States and Tieshandu Company. Mu Guoxing didn't want to embarrass these people too much.Pao-Book_Ba () Anyway, it is really not easy for the country to train a useful scientific researcher, especially at a time when science is strongly advocated as the primary productive force, it is very important to give full play to the subjective initiative of these scientists.

It is necessary to encourage scientists to tell the truth and create a good research environment for them, but there is a bottom line that must never be broken, that is, some unscrupulous experts must not be tolerated to advocate for foreign multinational companies and oppose the policies formulated by the central government and policies.Mu Guoxing believes that the [-] project formulated by the central government is completely in line with the interests of the country and the people. If some people are stubborn and continue to oppose it, it means that these people have completely sat on the opposite side. These people, Mu Guoxing, would no longer be polite to them.

Looking at Mu Guoxing's car gradually going away, Sun Hongpei said to Zheng Jieyun who was standing next to him: "Old Zheng, we two are old buddies, today I have something to say to you."

Zheng Jieyun looked at Sun Hongpei: "I don't know what advice Dean Sun has?"

"Old Zheng, you really shouldn't have said something today. You have been very active on the Internet for a while, trying your best to advocate for the four major grain merchants in the United States and Iron Mountain Corporation, and to oppose the three-three-three project proposed by the central government. You have said a lot of exaggerated things. You heard it just now. Vice Premier Mu has already said that the central government will absolutely not allow this kind of phenomenon to exist. If some people's thinking cannot be changed in time, the consequences will be very serious. "

"President Sun, I don't think there is any principled error in what I said. I am also cheering for the people. I believe that Vice Premier Mu is not such a small-hearted person. He And he will never do anything to me just because what I said is not in his mind. It is no longer the era of political struggle in the past, and the people should still be allowed to tell the truth. As a representative of the National People’s Congress, I have power to report problems to governments at all levels.”
