Rebirth 1983

Chapter 157 Why Are You Poor
For Yuanshen, not being welcomed by his mother since childhood seemed to be the deepest obsession in his heart.

But now that he knew the reason, he couldn't be happier.

Because Chen Song is no longer that Chen Song...

However, Chen Song also felt a little unbelievable about Huangqin's experience. He had never experienced that era, so it was hard to imagine how so many people could not survive these famine years in that era, and I don't know how many families were destroyed.

But it is undeniable that at least many people in that era understood the importance of being pragmatic and laying the foundation.

Chen Song is very clear that the 60s and [-]s were very poor because the country was still developing and the whole country was not rich.

The poor in that era really had nothing to eat to be full, unlike the 90s, who had something to eat, but they were poor.

It's not that the people in the city are poor, it's just that the rural people in the inland are poor, and the poverty is scary!
For Chen Song of later generations, the 90s was a personal experience, so he is very clear about the reason for the deep-rooted poverty. The reason is that the country needs to develop, but the price is too high.

Although family planning was implemented in the 90s, many rural people in the inland areas still gave birth to many children secretly.At that time, in a family with many children, a piece of clothing was passed from the eldest to the second child, and finally passed on to the youngest. If the older brother couldn't fit, it would be given to the younger brother, and if the younger brother couldn't fit, it would be given to the cousin.

A piece of clothing is like a family heirloom, changing hands from a few people, even a dozen people, and so on. When it ends up in tatters and can't be worn, it may become a newborn's diaper.

At that time, the old people in the country did not wash their clothes very often unless they had to. Sometimes they even had to wear a piece of clothing for more than ten days.

This is the phrase we often hear later.

"Three years for the new, three years for the old, and three years for mending!"

Except for clothes, the shoes at home, quilts and so on, basically come here.

But why is this so?
Obviously, after the household contract responsibility system that emerged in 1978 was extended to the mid-80s, the rural construction after that era has achieved remarkable results. It is no exaggeration to say that even some urban economies do not have as high economic benefits as rural agricultural products (including grain).

After the 80s, the increase in grain production and income in rural areas, coupled with the Spring Breeze Policy, opened up the country, and countless novelty things poured into the country. The living standards of farmers have improved linearly, and even the mental outlook of farmers has undergone tremendous changes.

However, the countryside is still very poor, but why is it so poor?
Because the country is wide open, after embracing the world, our country has begun to actively carry out the pace of urbanization, and is preparing to make great strides to catch up with the pace of those foreign developed countries, starting from the coastal cities first.

In order to carry out a large-scale urbanization process, the above needs a very deep foundation for those projects that help speed up the urbanization process.

How do you get the confidence?
Come from the countryside, come from the farmers, come from those grains!
In the late 80s, the higher-ups saw that the countryside was doing well, and at the same time, in order to increase income and expand the number of private enterprises and township enterprises, they began to encourage everyone to raise funds to set up various agricultural product factories, grain and oil factories, and food processing factories. Driven by profit, and the policies were very good, everyone responded one after another.

It is a pity that the country focused too much on the urbanization of the coastal areas, so that the policy on the countryside was too relaxed, and the development of the countryside fell into a bottleneck.

In contrast, is the vigorous urbanization construction.

In the 90s, compared with farmers, urbanites in this era seemed to be living in paradise!

Perhaps in the impression of most people, the contribution of rural areas to my country's urbanization seems to be only due to the migration of migrant workers to cities!

In fact, farmers are stuck in the bottleneck of the rural economy, and the gap between the rich and the poor has begun to widen. A large number of farmers have gone to the developed coastal areas and made indelible contributions to the rapid development of the developed coastal cities.

In addition, at that time, the investment in rural areas continued to decline, and at the same time, the upper authorities collected a large amount of agricultural taxes and various withdrawals from rural areas every year, and poured them into the eastern coastal provinces and some special zones.

That is to say, because of the steady stream of agricultural tax revenue, the higher authorities have the confidence to promise foreign-funded enterprises, joint ventures, and some high-tech enterprises the preferential policy of "tax exemption for three years and tax for five and a half years".

This is equivalent to using inland farmers from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to support the urbanization of most parts of the country.

With the backing of our country's vast countryside and [-] million farmers exporting for the rise of urbanization, we have the bright coastal economic belt and the impressive achievements of the Spring Breeze Policy.

It was also at this time that the higher-ups realized that the rural economic market also needs to be developed at the same time, and it also needs to be pulled from above.

Chen Song knows that the higher-ups have already begun to prepare these in a planned way, which is why he urgently needs to develop in the city, add supermarket branches as soon as possible, and expand the scale of operation.

As for Huangqin in the 60s and [-]s at that time, the reality could no longer be changed, so Chen Song took it as a warning, avoided the current rural areas, and traveled to big cities.

It's not that he doesn't want to change his mind. Chen Song once considered talking to Uncle Zhou, the big boss in the province, but he couldn't provide data and evidence. He couldn't say that he came from later generations.

It's no wonder he wasn't kicked out!So he is powerless!

After thinking a lot, after Chen Song listened to Huang Qin's self-report, the original obsession dissipated.

"Okay mom, it's all over!"

Smiling lightly, Chen Song didn't care much about the things that his mother didn't like in the past.

The sister-in-law was hesitant to speak beside her, afraid that the old lady would say that she would redistribute the family property, but she also thought that Chen Song had become a big boss outside, so who would care about such things at home.

"Fourth brother, come here." Chen Song beckoned to Chen Gen.

Chen Gen immediately trotted over, Chen Song looked at Chen Gen, touched the other person's head, and said to Chen Aiguo: "Dad, the Huang family doesn't seem to be willing to let it go, I guess they will come after the fourth brother, otherwise, I'll take the fourth brother to the county to study, the director of the police station in charge of that area has dealt with me a lot, and it will be convenient at that time, what do you think?"

After Chen Aiguo listened, he subconsciously glanced at Huangqi, seeing Huangqin biting his lip, hesitating to speak, so he thought for a moment and said, "That's good too, to save those people from being pestered all the time."

After finishing speaking, Chen Aiguo looked at Huang Qin, who nodded.
