"Mayor Zhang, how much do you know about Bing City's agriculture industry?" Feng Yu smiled and asked.
"Although I am not in charge of agriculture before, I am not ignorant. There are over a million farmers in Bing City, and their incomes are not bad. Many families' incomes are even higher than the workers' families. Our Bing City's agriculture industry is also doing well. "
Zhang Ruiqiang was the Executive Deputy Mayor, and he knew about Bing City's agriculture industry. The farmers' income was higher than the national average, and it meant that the agriculture industry was doing well.
Feng Yu shook his head: "Not right. Bing City has over a million or even a few million rural residents. But this does not mean that they are farmers. To put it simply, farmers made a living out of farming. Among them, there are only a few hundred thousand farmers who know how to farm. You might think that those farmers' income is not bad, but there are still a lot of low-income households! "
Zhang Ruiqiang frowned: "What do you mean?"
Why does Feng Yu sound like he was scolding him? Bing City was an industrial city, and the industry accounted for more than 80% of Bing City's total income. What about agriculture? Bing City only has a few fields. The farming industry was also not as good as other provinces. As long as the industry could feed everyone, it would be fine. Of course, they should specialize in the industry. Where would they find the time to develop agriculture?
In terms of agriculture, there were many places better than Bing City. There were many places in the province, not to mention the whole of China. But in terms of industry, Bing City was one of the best in China!
"In Bing City, there are a lot of farmers. They are skilled and experienced. But there are not many fields, and they are unable to grow crops on a large scale. In rural areas, most of the families with a good income are engaged in breeding or opening up wastelands. They really rely on the land allocated by the village or the farms to barely make a living. "
"Farming? That means they are not paying taxes? You are saying that your district also has this situation? "Zhang Ruiqiang's focus made Feng Yu speechless.
"Mayor Zhang, this is not the main point. The main point is that I have found an opportunity to let our farmers have land to farm. It is a large piece of land! "
"What? You want the government to issue a document to legalize farming? This is impossible! That is destroying the ecological environment. I was just about to catch this kind of thing. The higher-ups also attach great importance to this and will soon introduce some policies. "Zhang Ruiqiang was a little unhappy. What kind of rotten idea did Feng Yu come up with?
Now, there are voices from above saying that the unauthorized development of uncultivated land is getting more and more intense. Not only do they not pay taxes, but they also destroy the ecology. They should be stopped in time. To develop animal husbandry, it was necessary to set aside grassland and forest land. Although it seemed impossible to implement in the short term, he couldn't go against the wind.
"Of course, we're not going to legalize the reclamation. We're just going to take back these wastelands. Return farmland to forests, return farmland to grass! "He grabbed with one hand, as if he was grabbing all the land back.
Zhang Ruiqiang raised his eyebrows. Returning farmland to forests, returning farmland to grassland, Feng Yu also knew about this policy? But this policy had not been implemented yet. What was Feng Yu thinking?
He had thought of banning it, but he wouldn't do it so forcefully. The farmers who reclaimed wastelands would definitely not allow it. The higher-ups were still debating whether to return farmland to forests or return farmland to grassland. Shouldn't they give some compensation to the farmers who reclaimed the land? After all, the documents did not state that it was illegal for them to do so.
Also, how were the farmers going to make a living after returning farmland? Without compensation, those farmers would have to face serious problems of survival. If this matter blew up, the local governments would not be able to handle it.
Now, Feng Yu was asking him to implement this policy first. Was he crazy?
"How are you going to return farmland to forests? How are you going to return farmland to grassland? How are you going to compensate the farmers? The City does not have this amount! "
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu. What's wrong? You still want to say you are going to pay? This was not a small amount of money. It was comparable to donating to a few school buildings, and it was not bad at all!
"If the farmers know that there is more land for them to farm and they can earn more money, will they be willing to return those lands?" Feng Yu asked mysteriously.
"More land for them to farm? How is this possible? Not to mention our Bing City, even the whole Longjiang province does not have enough fertile land. If you still want to return farmland to grassland, then there will be even less land! "
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu puzzledly. What was this kid trying to say? He had ways to get more land? Was it in the South? Wasn't there more people in the South and less land?
"Mayor Zhang, why don't we make a bet?"
"No! I am a government official. How can I bet? "Zhang Ruiqiang immediately rejected.
He had lost the last bet, and he had never won a bet with Feng Yu! Every time, it was Feng Yu who took advantage of him. It was impossible for Zhang Ruiqiang to take advantage of the City!
Feng Yu rubbed his nose. You had bet with me many times.
"Alright, then I'll be straightforward. I had just returned from Russia. There are large tracts of uncultivated land there. There are also large tracts of grassland that can be used for cultivation. But, they lack farmers! "
"Russia? Large tracts of land but lack farmers?" Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes opened wide. There was such a thing?
Zhang Ruiqiang thought about it. It seemed that Feng Yu knew more about Russia than him. Feng Yu wanted Bing City's farmers to go to Russia to farm? This … … Will this work?
"That's right. I had contacted them through my friend, and they do not object to us going to Russia to rent the land. But there are a lot of land there, and ordinary farmers will not be able to go there. That's why I intend to register a company and rent the land there. We will rent the land to our Bing City's farmers so that they can farm. They lack farming machines, and we can provide them with the machines and let them repay the loans in installments. What do you think, Mayor Zhang? Isn't this good news? "
Feng Yu was proud of himself. Zhang Ruiqiang, you had gotten another political credit. It was a big one! In the future, if I ask you to do something for me, how can you reject me?
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu from head to toe. He did not say a word and just looked at him suspiciously.
"Why? You still don't believe me? When have I ever lied to you? "Feng Yu said angrily.
"How many times have you tricked me? Maybe in your dictionary, these are not called lying! "Zhang Ruiqiang sneered.
Feng Yu was speechless. His character was being questioned!
"At least I have never lied to you on such important matters."
Zhang Ruiqiang thought for a while and nodded. This was true. But Feng Yu was so kind to give him such a big political credit for the farmers. What benefits does Feng Yu get from this? If there were no benefits, how could a smart businessman like Feng Yu do something like this?
"What benefits do you get from this? Don't tell me you are going to rent the land from Russia at a low price and then rent it to our Bing City's farmers at a high price? "
"Am I that kind of person?!" Feng Yu seemed to be insulted. "I will definitely earn some money from this. I cannot invest so much in this, and it is still my duty. If you don't trust me, then I will not get involved in this. I will give you the contact details of the Russian officials, and you all can contact them yourselves. As if I need to earn this little bit of money! I am an outstanding citizen of Bing City! "
Why did he give out his contact details so easily? Could it be that Feng Yu was really doing this for Bing City?
"Then give me your contact details. After this matter is settled, the City will give you an outstanding citizen medal!" Zhang Ruiqiang proudly said.
Kid, aren't you being too full of yourself? This time, you are shocked.
