Chapter 45 volcano vent

A peasant city rises from the horizon like a dream. "Own a city of your own", Chinese farmers have been waiting for this day for too long. In fact, in the long and arduous history of human development, with the division of labor in human society, the conquest of nature, and the waves of industrial revolutions, batches of new cities were born. , while the initial urban dwellers.Many are former farmers. In China, however, from the early 1950s, everything was brought into a highly centralized planned economy model.People are divided into two distinct parts of resident household registration and rural household registration.People in the city can eat commercial grain for generations, while people in rural areas can eat the grain they grow themselves for their children and grandchildren.If anyone wants to jump over this gap, the only way is to "convert agriculture to non-agriculture", and this was such a tempting word.

Finally, in an unprecedented rural reform, the peasants who had completed primitive accumulation began to "find their own way out".Huge energy and endless desire have been accumulated for too long, and the appearance of Longgang at this moment immediately became the eruption port of the volcano. Chen Bianchu drove a rattling tractor into Longgang on a bright morning.Sitting in the car was his wife, three-year-old son, and a black leatherette bag, which contained all his savings, a neat 250,000 yuan in cash. The son bit the candied haws and asked his father childishly, "Where are we going now?"

Chen Xingchu said loudly, we are going to be urbanites this time. The loud voice spread far and far in the morning mist. Chen Xingchu's hometown is in front of the lake more than 40 miles away from Longgang, where there is a plastic woven bag market, which was also one of the ten famous professional markets in Wenzhou at that time.Chen Xingchu was one of the first batch of farmers in the village to break into the market. He did homemade cloth business and traveled all over China.When he learned that domestic cement plants and chemical fertilizer plants were in short supply of woven bags, he quickly returned to Huqian and joined forces with some partners to transform the homespun loom into a woven bag loom, specializing in the production and sale of woven bags. By 1983, the lake There are more than 1,800 woven bag machines before, and Chen Xingchu has become a big household in Murakami.

Gradually, Chen Xingchu felt that the lake was too small. Firstly, the transportation was inconvenient. From Wenzhou to Huqian, he had to transfer two cars and one boat. Business transactions and woven bag transportation were extremely troublesome. Second, the communication conditions were too poor. The post office in the village opens boxes once every three days, and long-distance calls have to be made through the county seat; moreover, there are only a hundred or so households in the whole village, which is very closed.He is a person who has seen the big world, so he is not willing to live like this. He had no choice but to endure it. In recent years, other people have money to build a house, but he does not.His mind has been flying far away, he is thinking about how to jump out of this small lake.

No, now Longgang is going to build a city.Chen Xingchu has carefully studied the decision and planning map of Longgang's opening to the outside world.He thinks there is a play. Although the current Longgang is still a tidal flat, its geographical location is the best in Cangnan. It faces the Aojiang River on the left, the waterway leads directly to the sea, and the 104 National Highway on the right. The transportation is very convenient.Moreover, it is surrounded by very famous Yishan, Jinxiang, Qianku, etc., with a strong business atmosphere.More importantly, he took a fancy to Chen Dingmo's plan. In the not-too-distant future, there will be hospitals, kindergartens and schools there. Those who are rich can build their own buildings and open factories. Isn't this kind of life what Chen Xingchu dreams of? ?

Without much hesitation, Chen Xingchu made the biggest decision of his life. Among the 5,000 farmers who first came to Longgang, Chen Xingchu was an inconspicuous one. Most of the experiences of the farmers who first moved to the city were similar to those of Chen Xingchu, who were capable rural people who had worked in the market for many years.Most of them come from towns such as Yishan, Jinxiang, Huqian and Qianku around Longgang, and those places are the locations of Wenzhou's top ten professional markets that became famous a few years ago. That is to say, among the builders of the peasant city, we have found the same group of farmers who kicked off the Wenzhou market back then, and their figures are still vigorous.

Around 1984, in the Wentai area where the professional market started the first, many households with 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, and even one million yuan have appeared.Due to historical reasons, the villages where they were originally located are often relatively remote, which can no longer meet the needs of expanding reproduction and pursuing quality of life.As a result, they naturally became the most active supporters and participants in the construction of peasant cities. It can even be said that peasant cities became a reality under their call. We have seen that the rise of small towns is closely related to the maturity of the professional market.Wenzhou's market development was nearly five years ahead of other regions in Zhejiang, and the peasant city there was also born five years earlier than other regions.
