The thirty-ninth chapter is big
The main reason for the trouble was the cadres of Wunan Town. These people were in the system and were still afraid of them. As long as they met their requirements, they would not be very stubborn. But vegetable farmers had nothing to be afraid of. They had their own little plan. As long as they thought growing vegetables was more cost-effective than expropriating land, it would be very difficult to let them hand over the land with pleasure.
However, Zeng Yi did not intend to find out these troublemakers, because finding out that the vegetable merchants would not solve the problems existing in the land acquisition.
Many people say that farmers are the most simple. This sentence is correct, but simple is not "stupid" simplicity. The same kind of vegetables grown in the fields were sold at a cheap price before, but now they are going to acquire land, but some people are rushing to buy them at a high price. How could farmers not understand the truth about this? If you want to use farmers as cannon fodder, you have to pay the price. In just a few days, the farmer-like cleverness will have to make these secretly messy vegetable merchants frustrated.
"Director Li, what are your plans for the funds handed over from Wunan Town?" Zeng Yi did not explain Li Weicai's doubts, but suddenly asked about the huge sum of money.
According to Li Weicai's plan, the money was to be used as the early start-up capital for Xiaowushan New District. However, when Zeng Yi asked this, he immediately said: "The purpose of this money must be decided by Director Zeng!"
Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Last time you have conducted a survey on the long-lived elderly people in Wu Nan and Wubei towns. I want to know how many elderly people over 100 years old are in these two towns."
Li Weicai has a good memory. After a little recollection, he said, "There are 13 people!"
Having said that, Li Weicai was even more puzzled. Director Xiao Zeng's topic has changed too quickly today! He was talking about land acquisition just now, but in an instant he reached the fund. Now he started talking about the elderly Changshou. Even Li Weicai, who is well-versed, felt that he could not handle it at this time, and he could not grasp a key point or topic at all.
"What about those over ninety years old?" Zeng Yi asked again.
Li Wei's answer this time seemed less certain, and he said, "It seems to be more than 190 people. I can't remember whether it is 197 or 198."
Zeng Yi smiled and signaled that Li Weicai would not be so nervous. Even if he couldn't remember the specific numbers, it didn't matter. He handed Li Weicai a glass of water and said, "Director Li, you are the specific executor of the preparations for Xiaowushan New District. Then tell me, what are the biggest advantages and resources of Xiaowushan New District?"
"Of course, it's green mountains, green waters, and a wonderful scenery..." Li Wei opened his mouth and said halfway. He suddenly thought of the question Zeng Yi asked just now, and he realized something in his mind. He immediately changed his words: "But if we want to talk about the greatest advantageous resources, we still have to be the long-lived elderly people. They are the most powerful proof of our Xiaowushan New District's suitable living area, otherwise the superior departments would not be able to build a sanatorium in our Xiaowushan Mountain."
Li Weicai's words are not nonsense. The two numbers he just said can already explain the longevity situation in Xiaowushan New District. According to medical and statistical standards, if there are seven centenarians in an area of 100,000 people and ten over ninety-year-olds in 10,000 people, then this area can be considered a longevity area.
The population of Wunan and Wubei towns is less than 50,000. According to this standard, as long as the number of centenarians reaches 4 and the number of over 90 reaches 50, Xiao Wushan is already a veritable place for longevity. However, whether it is a hundred or ninety years old, the actual situation of Xiao Wushan far exceeds the standard.
Of course, these statistical standards are always very different from reality. Zeng Yi, as a professional medical expert, is very clear about this.
Now many places in China have successfully applied for the title of "Longevity Land". On the one hand, it is because of the progress of medicine and living standards that people's life expectancy has indeed increased; but on the other hand, it is because we are now in a relatively special social process, and more and more young people have chosen to live in big cities. The new generation of young people are only children, and only the 386,199 troops left in the countryside, namely women, children, and the elderly.
In this way, a strange phenomenon has emerged, on the one hand there is a "vibrant city" and on the other hand there are more and more "longevity towns". It is not that the number of longevity elderly people has increased greatly, but that the proportion of elderly people in the population of some specific areas has been artificially increased. This may also be a "city" and "country" gap with national conditions.
If we only count the permanent population living in the countryside, we believe that the country can meet the "Longevity Hometown" standard may be too many towns.
However, the longevity of Xiao Wushan is real. As early as the statistics, Zeng Yi took this factor of population mobility into consideration. In addition to the statistics of Li Weicai, Zeng Yi also conducted a more detailed survey through the military region.
"The elderly in Changshou can be said to be a golden signboard for our Xiaowushan New District, and it is an extremely valuable resource. If you want to do a good job in Xiaowushan New District, I think the first thing to do is to do is to do a good job in Changshou's old people!" Zeng Yi looked at Li Weicai and asked, "What do you think of Director Li?"
Li Weicai nodded repeatedly and said, "I fully agree with Director Zeng's opinion!" When Li Weicai said this, his palms were a little sweaty, and he thought to himself that such a simple and clear relationship had not been realized before! If these longevity elderly people were missing, the biggest selling point of Xiaowushan New District would be gone. Not to mention the distance, just talk about Xingxing Lake. After removing the highlight of Changshou Old Man, there would be almost no difference between the selling points of the two projects.
Zeng Yi said: "What are the good ideas about how to do a good job in a long-lived elderly person?"
In this moment, Li Weicai could not come up with any good solution. He could only stammer: "What these elderly people are most concerned about is the issue of elderly care. I think... I feel..."
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "It's not just a matter of pension. The elderly with agricultural household registration do not have medical insurance, no pension, no pension, no guarantee of pension, and at the same time they lose their ability to work, have no income, and rely entirely on the filial piety of their children. From this point of view, the elderly are still the financial burden of the same family; and because they live in remote countryside and are widowed, the living environment and quality of the elderly are also very poor."
Li Weicai's forehead was also beginning to sweat. The problems mentioned by Director Xiao Zeng were indeed common in the vast rural areas. As the pillar of the family, the middle-aged generation has old age and young ones. He worked hard to earn some money to support a family. In addition to improving living conditions and saving money for the next generation, there was almost nothing left, so the ones used on the previous generation were very thin.
But Director Zeng said it too directly! Li Weicai has been working for so many years and has never heard any leader dare to say bluntly that "the elderly are the financial burden of the family". Other leaders are singing high-profile: "The elderly are a precious wealth, they must be protected and cherished." But after saying this, he ignored the actual difficulties of the elderly, and would not care about the quality of life of the elderly.
You are a precious treasure yourself, so there will be no difficulties in life! This is the logic of other leaders.
"Director Zeng, the old man's problem is a bit complicated..." Li Weicai said.
Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "Comrade Weicai, don't have any ideas. We are discussing behind closed doors now and may not be accurate. But since we want to solve the problem, we must first face the problem. This is an attitude problem. Escape and ignorance are impossible to truly solve the problem."
"You have to face it, you must face it!" Li Weicai agreed.
"I have an immature idea, and I want to discuss it with Director Li!" Zeng Yi looked at Li Weicai and smiled and said, "Why is the unexpected wealth obtained by the preparatory team? I plan to distribute it to the longevity elderly people in Xiaowushan New District in the form of a longevity reward. As long as the standard of longevity is met, they can receive a longevity reward. The higher the standard, the heavier the reward. What does Director Li think?"
Li Weicai thought about it and his eyes lit up, saying, "This method is good, which not only highlights the theme of nursing and respecting the elderly in our Xiaowushan New District, but also solves the actual difficulties of the elderly. I personally agree with it!"
"Since you think it's good, then try to come up with a charter as soon as possible. I think the preliminary standards will be awarded 100,000 yuan for over 100,000 yuan for over 90 years old!" Zeng Yi said.
Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do this in person!" He thought to himself Director Zeng's big money, what does such a large sum of money mean? Not only can the elderly be raised before their lives, but they can also be buried in a grand manner after their death, and even have some surplus. In this way, the elderly are not financially burdened by their families, but a real wealth. Who can't be filial to their elderly so that they can live longer and get more rewards.
No matter how loud the slogans are shouted, it is not as realistic as this. With such a longevity reward, the social atmosphere in Xiaowushan New District can be improved immediately. Director Xiao Zeng's method also has some of the "laws of the State of Lu"!
Zeng Yi picked up the water cup and drank a sip of water, and said, "After taking out the regulations, I think I will pilot the implementation in Xiawucun first!"
Li Weicai wanted to give a thumbs up to express his admiration. How could the vegetable farmers not understand such a clear account? At this moment, there was no need to talk about any major principles, nor did he have to rush to urge him. As soon as the vegetable farmers had to take the initiative to demolish the greenhouse.
After going around in circles, I finally returned to the starting point. It seems that Director Zeng’s words today have no theme, but the magic is that when you return to the starting point, you find that the original difficulties have disappeared. Director Zeng’s theme has never deviated!
There must be conditions for the issuance of longevity rewards. For those who are hindering the construction of Xiaowushan New District, they will definitely not be listed as the distribution! If you don’t demolish the greenhouse, then see who will suffer greater losses! Who doesn’t have one or two elderly people in the family, not today, and tomorrow will also have them. Now Xiaowushan New District solves the elderly care problem for you. Which one is more cost-effective? Just consider it yourself!
And if you do this, if someone secretly makes trouble in the future, it will be useless, unless you can show more courage than Director Xiao Zeng to collect the cabbage and potatoes in the vegetable farmland at the price of gold.
Li Weicai finally understood what Zeng Yi said at this time. The farmers are not confused. Who is good to him, what is good to him, and who is using them. Their hearts are bright. But they have a problem that they cannot get rid of. They like to calculate the little bit in front of them and the little profits they can't bear to see. This is the cunning of farmers. Therefore, it is useless to deal with farmers, and it is useless to just talk about big principles. You have to calculate the accounts with them. Once you understand them, all the problems will be solved.
However, this account is really a bit big. The money he came from Qingchi District may not be able to leave a penny, and maybe he has to pay some more. Li Wei thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yi said again: "That's all alone, it's far from enough! In the next step, we will also include elderly people under the age of 90 and over 65 in the welfare scope. They may not be rewarded in one lump sum, but they can be paid monthly pensions!"
Li Weicai was shocked and hurriedly said, "Director Zeng, Xiaowushan New District is a hometown of longevity. If you follow this standard, the population base will be too large. It is not a small number. Our high-tech park is unable to afford it at all. Besides, in this regard, the city has unified standards, so we can't make an exception!"
"We must abide by the standards in the city!" Zeng Yi smiled and said, "But the methods are all thought out by people. The pension method is not good. We can also use dividends and commercial insurance!"
Li Weicai said: "For commercial insurance, farmers may not be willing to participate in insurance. If Xiaowushan New District pays it on its behalf, we will not be able to pay so much money!"
"The specific operation method can be discussed again. I will find a way to find a way for money!" Zeng Yi said, "Director Li only needs to make the charter!"
Li Wei knew that Zeng Yi had made up his mind. If he had been the case, he would not have the courage to do this, but from the bottom of his heart, he supported it again, which is a great thing. If it could be implemented, the people of Xiao Wushan would have to support the construction of the new district wholeheartedly!
Zeng Yi is a completely stubborn person who doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to do the kind of thing that seeks fame and sells dog meat with the title of sheep. In many places, pensions have begun to be paid to elderly people with agricultural household registration, but that amount is really impossible to buy a few packs of salt, and the age standard is still very high.
People have expectations of life expectancy. The current domestic average life expectancy is 73 years old, which means that there will be very few people over 73 years old, and if the age is not increased by one year, the number of people will decrease in the same number as a geometric multiple. But in many places, the starting age for rural elderly people to receive pensions and subsidies is set at 85 years old or even ninety years old, which is more meaningful than substance.
"Before the specific charter is decided, this matter will be limited to the two of us." Zeng Yi said.
