"The district leaders told us that the Party and the government would build us a house together. The bricks and lime would be free, and the government would provide them. We would get paid three yuan a day for helping to build the house."

"They built us our own houses and even gave us wages. I've never heard of such a good thing before... In the past, when we built reservoirs and engaged in farmland water conservancy projects, we had to bring our own food and bedding. We didn't get paid, only work points were recorded..."

"The county and district are really good to us farmers..."

"So, did you get your share of the land?"

This is the second issue that Tai Zhengyang is concerned about.

At this stage, agricultural production is still the foundation of most farmers. Without the land, they cannot survive.

"It's been distributed... The district officials said that the wasteland that was reclaimed by each family belongs to them. Each person has two mu of paddy fields and five mu of dry land. The government subsidizes 50 yuan per mu of paddy fields and 20 yuan per mu of dry land. There's no subsidy for anything beyond that, but each family still has the right to cultivate the land themselves."

The new immigrants live near the Seven-Layer Mountain, where there are few paddy fields and many dry lands, which is very reasonable.

Tai Zhengyang turned to Liu Hongyi: "Hongyi, is that so?"

Liu Hongyi said, "Secretary Tai, this is what's going on. Our main concern is that we shouldn't take up more arable land from other brigades, so we encourage new immigrants to reclaim wasteland on their own. This not only increases the arable land area, but also avoids conflicts with older members."

"The average subsidy is 200 yuan per person. With a total of 1,200 new immigrants, it only costs 240,000 yuan to create more than 8,000 acres of arable land. It's very cost-effective."

"The county's 12,000 new immigrants, at a total cost of just over two million yuan, will solve the arable land problem. And this extra arable land is permanent."

"Furthermore, after these members move out of the mountains, the county will be able to save even more money on infrastructure investment, far more than two million."

Not to mention anything else, the cost of building roads in mountainous areas alone is enormous.

Not to mention, there will be more administrative and management costs.

Overall, relocating 12,000 mountain people from the mountains will bring far more benefits than disadvantages.

"This account is easy to calculate."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Tai Zhengyang nodded with satisfaction.

“By the way, is your budget enough?”

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Secretary Tai, I'm a little nervous, but we can find a way to overcome it ourselves."

The county's original plan was to allocate approximately three million yuan for immigration and over three million yuan for education development. However, the current situation is that the three million yuan allocated for immigration is insufficient, leaving a shortfall of approximately one and a half million yuan.

But this does not matter. Immigration does not happen overnight. Some people living in mountainous areas will not move out of the mountains until next year. By next year, Zhuang'an's financial situation will definitely be greatly improved.

You should know that most of the large-scale factories built in Zhuangan are state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises.

Of the profits generated by these enterprises, a portion must be reserved for expanded reproduction, and the rest must be turned over to the county treasury.

If the current situation continues to develop, the available financial resources of Zhuang'an County next year will conservatively be estimated to exceed 10 million.

Since Liu Hongyi personally took charge of and approved the construction of these factories, there will be no situation where products are unsold or operations are at a loss.

In this day and age, many markets are basically blank. As long as you produce the product, you don’t have to worry about sales. Once it is put on the market, it will be in short supply.

For example, the laundry detergent factory and soap factory built with the assistance of Chuzhou Daily Chemical Products Corporation produced extremely popular laundry detergent, soap and perfumed soap. The products were in short supply and almost sold out.

The next step Liu Hongyi plans to make is shampoo.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

As the quality of life improves, the demand for these consumables becomes very strong.

For example, with the strong support of feed from Chuzhou Feed Factory, the state-owned breeding farm established by Zhuang'an has seen a steady increase in the number of live pigs, beef cattle and broiler chickens.
