Create an upgraded version of farm house improvement in Yancheng, Jiangsu: Let the people live in "stable happiness"

On April 8, after getting the key to the new house, Yao Zhengyun, who is in his 70s, felt that he had a "steady happiness". On the same day, the second phase of xuwang village in Gangxi Town, Jianhu County, divided the new rural community, and 104 farmers realized the dream of living in peace.

"Live well" is the meaning of the comprehensive well-off. As the largest districted city in northern Jiangsu and the second most populous city, Improving living conditions is one of the most concerned demands of the peasant masses. According to a preliminary survey, 450,000 of the 1.5 million rural households in Yancheng are willing to improve their housing, accounting for nearly 30% of the total.

"The responsibility is on the shoulders, and the responsibility is unshirkable. Yancheng must exert efforts from the most prominent problems, and must not achieve a comprehensive well-off on the side of the book, while allowing peasants to live in low and dilapidated houses to be 'well-off'. Dai Yuan, secretary of the Yancheng City Party Committee, said. The more difficult the task, the higher the quality of the task. In recent years, Yancheng has taken the improvement of farmhouses as the starting point for the high-level comprehensive construction of a well-off society, and governments at all levels have carefully created an upgraded version of farmhouse improvement with sincerity and wisdom.

Ask for needs throughout the process, so that farmers are more satisfied

"Most of the farmhouses in Jianhu were built in the 1970s and 1980s, the houses are old, the layout of the villages is relatively scattered, and the rural form is poor. In September 2018, we visited the village and 80% of the villagers were willing to relocate and improve their housing. Yao Wanchun, deputy mayor of Gangxi Town, Jianhu County, has a deep memory. A total of 668 households in the village, the last 613 households were relocated, in addition to the city into the town and monetization resettlement, 214 families chose to live in the new rural community.

Resolutely do not build houses that farmers do not need. Whether to demolish or not to move, the masses have the final say; how to make up for it, how much to make up, all of them are publicized on the wall; where and how to build houses, it is handed over to the masses for election... House site selection, apartment design, construction construction, post-management, "respect for farmers' wishes" runs through all aspects of farm house improvement work.

"With care and affection, the house is built with quality and temperature." Shao Junwei, chief architect of Jiangsu Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., has participated in the design of new rural communities in Jianhu, Yandu, Binhai and other places, "Many programs have been run-in N times, and after four or five rounds of 'overhaul' before they were approved." ”

"According to the specification, the minimum width of the stairs in the house is 220 mm, and the height is up to 200 mm, but the farmer wants to be more comfortable, and the final plan is changed to no less than 250 mm wide and no more than 170 mm high." In the slightest, it is evident that the intention is intentional. ”

Respecting the living habits of farmers, the new rural communities in Yancheng are mainly two to three floors, do not build multi-storey high-rises, advocate the main unit type of 80 to 120 square meters, and build auxiliary houses with stacked agricultural tools, with transparent courtyards. Standing in the courtyard, the leisurely villagers can still "hold the bowl" and chat with the neighbors.

How the people in need live is the deepest concern of the government. Last year, Yancheng completed the task of renovating the dangerous houses of poor households in Lika, and this year, the city plans to complete the improvement of 40,000 households, build and expand about 100 new rural communities, and fully complete the housing improvement tasks of the four types of key objects.

In the new rural community of Xuwang Village, Zhou Longhu, an elderly man with five guarantees, lives in a 32-square-meter "single apartment" next door, and next door, there is a neighbor of 90 square meters. The small apartments of 32 square meters and 56 square meters that were originally built for the concentration of difficult groups are "scattered" and integrated with other apartment types, which not only makes the appearance of the houses more staggered, but also makes the difficult households live more dignified. Strengthen the villages and enrich the people, so that the rural areas can benefit more

"The Yancheng River network is dense, and the new rural communities combine the terrain in the overall layout to avoid 'platoon camps.'" Shao Junwei said. In the construction, Yandu draws on ancient villages and ancient houses, highlighting the architectural characteristics of "white-walled Dewa, red gate courtyard, hedge flowers"; Dongtai creates elegant ancient rhyme and salt fisherman style; Dafeng combines the integration of new and old villages and industrial layout to form "one village and one product".

The improvement of farmhouses in Yancheng also embeds a unique sense of nostalgia into bricks and tiles, and many villages have moved "memory symbols" into new communities, local trees such as camphor and black oak, and traditional old objects such as horse stakes and stone mills, restoring the local style of the countryside.

Thousands of years of customs and customs also need to be inherited. The functions of Xintu Village, Chenliang Town, Funing County, such as the hall, the cultural activity center, and the banquet hall where residents hold folk customs, are superimposed, and a multi-functional hall is built next to the village department, which has become the "largest space" to meet the needs of the masses' production and life.

The improvement of farmhouses has changed the living environment, opened the door to land circulation, opened the "multiple locks" for increasing peasants' incomes and strengthening the collective economy, and become the "golden key" for strengthening the villages and enriching the people.

Xuwang Village set up a land share cooperative, took over the relocation of farmers' land, 3200 mu of land into the shares, most of which was transferred to large contracted households, and the remaining 1,000 mu of village cultivation. Farmers free up their hands to work in the park or help large households to obtain a stable income. The village filled in the waste ditch and pond, adding 600 acres of arable land. In 2018, the collective income of Xuwang Village was less than 180,000 yuan, and at the end of 2019, the figure rose to 1 million yuan.

"Yesterday, Xuwang Village completed the second phase of new houses, and today I am going to Guding Village to start the improvement of farmhouses there." At the end of 2018, Yao Wanchun had one more identity: to Xuwang's new rural community as the first secretary of the village party general branch!

Farm house improvement is a systematic work involving multiple departments such as land, planning, and housing construction, which requires the selection of a "first secretary" with strong overall planning ability and good communication. As a result, the leader or team member in charge of the improvement of farm houses in the town became the best candidate.

After handing over the house, we must also do a good job in the "second half of the article" of community governance. Yancheng construction and management attach equal importance to, do a good job in governance (social governance) management (property management) coordination, improve the follow-up management system, promote the "financial allocation, collective take a little, villagers raise a little" three "one-third" property management methods, guide farmers to participate in management, self-service, do not let the new community become a "dirty and messy" gathering point.

Ways to change agriculture more efficiently

"After 40 days, the silkworm baby will be sent to the silkworm house." On April 9, Chen Fengqun, a villager in the fifth group of Wangcun Village in Teyong Town, Sheyang County, fertilized in the Mulberry Garden. In 2019, Chen Fengqun moved into a new rural community. The village has vacated 40 acres of land, 50 sericulture farmers have concentrated on building silkworm houses there, and Lao Chen has built 600 square meters. Last year, sericulture brought him 90,000 yuan in income.

"Sericulture is the main source of income for villagers." Jin Wenkui, general secretary of the party branch of Wangcun Village, said that among the 1,240 households in the village, 1,100 were sericulture farmers, and in the past, farmers built sericulture houses in front of and behind the houses, and the new rural communities have made the sericulture industry aggregated.

Farmers who live well must also be able to get rich. Seven projects, including Taiyuan Power, which is planned and built on the east side of Provincial Highway 231 in Xintu Village, have been put into operation, while the village's 1,000 mu of efficient agriculture has provided jobs for residents of the new community. The employment at the "doorstep" has left young people, injecting vitality into the sustainability of maintaining the momentum of the industry, and gradually avoiding the "secondary air barrier" of the countryside that is constantly aging and hollowing out.

The improvement of farmhouses has led to a fundamental change in the mode of agricultural production and operation, and the rich people in strong villages have a more accurate direction and path.

——Spatially, "close to the field, close to the factory". Conform to the law of village development, and achieve "multi-planning" such as town and village layout planning, industrial development planning, and overall land use planning. At the same time, we will coordinate industrial support, combine the "three parks" of modern agricultural parks, industrial parks and tourist attractions, and lay out new rural communities.

- In terms of employment, "can take care of the family and earn money." Develop agriculture with special advantages and efficient facilities, guide farmers to collect rent, earn salaries from migrant workers, cooperate to earn cash, share dividends and share capital, increase the opportunity for employment at the doorstep of their homes, and achieve "moving out, staying, and getting rich".

-- In terms of development, "increase scale and increase efficiency." Tap the potential of land resources in economically weak villages, improve farmhouses and return farmland to farmland, and comprehensively sort out and utilize abandoned ditches and ponds on roads and fields. The land "woke up", the houses lived, and more than 100 economically weak villages in the city excavated the advantages of land resources in the improvement of farmhouses, and removed the poverty cap in one fell swoop.

"Some villages have laid out new rural communities near characteristic agricultural demonstration parks, and have planned and guided tourism to pave the way for future rural tourism in advance." Shao Junwei said that the long-term vision is no longer limited to the issue of life and livelihood. After all, the improvement of farmhouses in Yancheng is to seek far-sightedness, plan and then move.
