Chapter 539 Planning for Sand Control Work

There is a wind every year, from spring to winter, the wind blows the yellow sand and it is difficult to open your eyes, and the crops are not fully germinated!This is a true portrayal of the ecological environment of Yinzhou in the past.

The house had to be lit during the day, but the outside of the house could not be seen. Countless poor and helpless farmers crawled in the sand nest, forming an embarrassing situation of pain and helplessness in the sand.Controlling sand is as difficult as going to the blue sky. For thousands of years, many heroes have looked at the sand and sighed, but they have no fighting spirit but are helpless.

The development history of Yinzhou is a history of sand control and afforestation. The vast deserts of the past have become oases today, which is the fruit of life accumulated by Yinzhou people with one hand and one soil, and one plant and one tree.

Fight against the sand, generation after generation!After more than 70 years of continuous struggle, generations of Yinzhou people have controlled sand in the north, soil in the south, and water in the south, turning deserts and barren mountains into green mountains and green mountains, fundamentally reversing the situation of ecological fragility.The barren land that was once ravaged by wind and sand has become a green field with lush forests, abundant grain and supporting canals, creating a miracle of ecological construction from "sand into green retreat" to "green into sand and retreat", making Qin Province's green territory to the north An important contribution was made by advancing 400 kilometers.

When you drive into Yinzhou, you can often see that on the nearly 30-kilometer wind and sand line, there is almost no green except for the dots of camel thorns.Although the sandstorms that occur more than 20 times a year have almost ceased to occur, there are still about [-] to [-] days of dusty weather every year, which makes Yinzhou people miserable.Moreover, according to the survey, some forest areas have been degraded, and the work of sand control has a long way to go!

On April 4, Yinzhou received a good news. Director Lin Xiangyang made a special phone call and told Wang Hongtao that Yinzhou's 4 billion special funds for sand control had been approved, and documents were being drawn up and will be issued soon.

Wang Hongtao was overjoyed and thanked Director Lin for his support and help again.

Now that we have money, large-scale sand control work can start.

Wang Hongtao immediately called the mayor Lu Jianguo and the director of the Forestry Bureau Tang Baodong to discuss the sand control work.

After the two arrived, Mayor Lu smiled and said, "Secretary, seeing your happy face, is there something good for you?"

"It is indeed a good thing. Our 50 billion special fund for desertification control has been approved! The work of desertification control is urgent. I call you two to discuss how to carry out the work of desertification control in a more scientific and effective way. Director Tang, can you give us an overview of the overall situation? .”

"Secretary and mayor, after years of governance, the city's forest coverage rate has increased from 1.8% to 30%, the forest preservation area has increased from 60 mu to 1100 million mu, and 570 million mu of quicksand has been effectively controlled. Our sand control work, and has a good and close cooperation with Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University. Aerial seeding sand control began in Yinzhou, thanks to the aerial seeding sand control technology, now, Yinzhou has 600 million mu of distant sand and large sand controlled by aerial seeding, and the silver The state's desertification control has advanced 20 years, and this technology has saved a generation of efforts to control the desertification process."

Mayor Lu Jianguo said: "There are achievements, but we have to see the shortcomings. We can't just compare with the past, but also look at the whole country. We also often go to the countryside. We know the situation very well. There is no need to deceive ourselves. Now that we have money, You really need to plan well."

Wang Hongtao nodded and said: "The mayor is right. Compared with the past, the ecological environment has indeed changed a lot. The efforts of several generations have created a miracle in the sand control city. Isn't there a saying that the world can control sand? China, look at Yinzhou for sand control in China! However, people have a misunderstanding that sand control is afforestation. In fact, the core of sand control is to pay attention to wind and water. Not only must control the wind, keep water, and let the sand stop, but also Research on soil, groundwater, vegetation and ecosystems. Sand control and afforestation should be treated as an ecosystem, and sand can be used as a resource to let the desert bear "fruits". It should be linked to economic benefits, and vigorously develop economic forests. While controlling desertification, it can also increase the economic income of farmers.”

The mayor said: "Desert control is a huge project, and the whole society must participate in it. This year's Arbor Day, the municipal government mobilized 200 million person-times, and a total of 1000 million trees were planted. 41 companies invested 4.2 million yuan in greening. not bad."

"Mayor, the meaning and form of planting trees for all people is greater than the effect, which reflects our emphasis on environmental protection, but how much actual effect can it achieve? How much can it survive in the end? I think professional things must be done by professional people, not only planting, It is also necessary to ensure the survival rate. Director Tang is an expert in this area. He is an outstanding representative of sand control in the country and has been commended. Now that we have special funds, the municipal party committee and the municipal government must set a goal, and the Forestry Bureau will implement it in detail. Find some experts in tree planting and afforestation to carry out sand control full-time, so that not only can achieve the best results, but also absorb temporary employment, increase farmers' income, and achieve a win-win situation of ecological and social benefits."

"Secretary, I agree with you."

Tang Baodong said: "Secretary, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have set goals. We will use the forest farms in each township as the starting point to give them tasks and indicators, recruit local farmers full-time for afforestation, and implement quantitative assessment at the end of the year. In addition, we must increase The protection of forests here is basically based on burial, and the number of coffins used every year is countless. People in Yinzhou are used to preparing birthday materials in advance. More than 90.00% of them are local materials, hacked and felled, and a pair of good materials can be sold. Tens of thousands of dollars, so many people took the risk, but those are high-quality trees, so it makes people feel distressed!"

Everyone in Yinzhou knows this situation, and even many cadres and workers in forest farms and forestry police stations are involved in selling materials, and moths often arise from within.

Speaking of this, Mayor Lu Jianguo said: "Secretary, it's not just the coffin issue. The superiors have instructed to strictly investigate all kinds of illegal activities of villas, golf courses, luxury cemeteries illegally occupying forest land and grasslands, and mine development projects destroying forests and grasslands. Yinzhou There are still some illegal cases of photovoltaic power generation land occupation, wind power land occupation, and land consolidation.”

After thinking for a while, Wang Hongtao said: "Then launch a special forest and grassland law enforcement operation, starting from April and ending at the end of the year, to severely crack down on illegal destruction of forests and grasslands, and conduct a comprehensive investigation on the destruction of forests and grasslands in the city, and thoroughly investigate and deal with them.

The municipal government takes the lead, and the Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau implements the specific actions. A leading group for special operations will be established to mobilize elite troops, integrate law enforcement forces, and intensify investigations and punishments; Communicate and coordinate, carry out joint law enforcement and joint case handling; timely supervise and inspect the implementation of special operations in counties and urban areas, strictly assess accountability, and ensure that special operations are carried out in an orderly manner. Some people must be investigated and punished to form an effective deterrent . "

Lu Jianguo said: "Okay, the municipal government will check first, come up with a special action work plan as soon as possible, and submit it to the Standing Committee for study when it is mature. Secretary, how do we set our goals for the afforestation just mentioned?"

Wang Hongtao understands a truth that those who seek the top will get the middle, and those who seek the middle will get the bottom, and those who seek the bottom will fail; if you set a high-level goal, you will get a middle-level result, and if you set a middle-level goal, you will get a low-level result.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Implement the quality and efficiency improvement action of 'Shangshang Forest City', create a national forest city, increase the urban forest coverage rate from 30% to 38%, and increase the urban green coverage rate from 35% to 41%. In 2018, 2400 million mu of forest seas were built, making the "desert wind, dust and sun dim" a permanent memory, and the 860 million mu of Mu Us quicksand in the territory were all brought under control!"

Lu Jianguo was a little surprised: "Secretary, this goal is not low. Building a national forest city in the arid and semi-arid sandy area can be called ambitious! Director Tang, you are an expert, roughly estimate how much it will cost?"

Tang Baodong thought for a while, and said: "Secretary and Mayor, based on the cost of 2000 yuan per mu, to achieve 2800 mu of forest, another 1200 million mu needs to be built, requiring an investment of 240 billion yuan, and an annual investment of about 80 billion yuan. However, we can mobilize social forces to vigorously develop arbors such as sylvestris sylvestris, Chinese pine, Xinjiang poplar, shrubs such as clove and sand cypress, sedum, pink and other projects, and fruit bases such as apples and red dates, which can produce a lot of economic effects You can also apply for some special funds from the higher-level departments. In addition to the 50 billion yuan for the special desert control project that the secretary applied for, I roughly estimate that in order to achieve the three-year goal, the municipal finance will have to allocate 10 to 20 billion yuan in special funds every year.”

Without waiting for Lu Jianguo to make a statement, Wang Hongtao said: "If through our efforts, Yinzhou can realize the natural ecological beauty of fertile fields, rich crops, lush water and grass, flocks of sheep, and create more ecological welfare, green well-being, and ecological benefits. The environment has been significantly improved, and the city has been filled with greenery and deserts, leaving more well-being to future generations. I think this investment is worth it!"

The secretary has said so, what else can he say?

Lu Jianguo stated: "The city government will find a way to squeeze it out and do its best to guarantee the work of sand control and afforestation. Director Tang, the central and provincial funds must also be fully sought."

Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "My great mayor, don't be so sad! Now Yinzhou's economic development momentum is very strong, and all walks of life are booming. You have to be confident that this year's fiscal revenue will definitely increase explosively. If we have money, we need to know how to spend it, and we need to spend it toughly, I bet you that this year's local fiscal revenue will definitely exceed 350 billion yuan!"

Lu Jianguo smiled and said, "Secretary, if it's true as you said, I, the mayor, will have no worries. It's hard to be a shopkeeper without money, but it's easy to be a shopkeeper with money. Many jobs will be solved."

Wang Hongtao turned his head and said to Tang Baodong: "Director Tang, you have two major tasks this year, one is the special law enforcement action in forests and grasslands, and the other is the quality and efficiency improvement action of 'Shangshang Forest City'. Come up with a plan as soon as possible. Make a special report on the Internet. These two tasks are very important, and they are related to the well-being of 400 million Yinzhou people for generations to come. The Forestry Bureau must take it as the top priority and implement it well. The government will give you a strong backing, let’s do it freely, and you can come to me anytime if you have any difficulties or problems in advancing the work!”

"Secretary and mayor, don't worry. With such great support from the municipal party committee and the municipal government, no matter how bad the job is, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"
