At noon on July 14, the sun was scorching the earth like a fire. In Xiangchang Village, Gongguan Town, at the foot of Wulian Mountain, a neat asphalt road leads directly to the village, and the roadside green grass, babbling streams, and the "Liyuan Riverside" homestay under the shade of green trees are integrated with the surrounding landscape.
In the field, Jiang Wen, captain of the rural revitalization service team of Wulian County, wu yunhai, Ma Guangchuan, and Li Jilong, secretary of the party branch of Xiangchang Village, braved the scorching sun and accompanied the merchants from Qingdao and Jiangsu on the field path.
"Xiangchang Village is a pure land!" Not only are there mountains and water, but also the air is fresh and the transportation is convenient, so I have taken a fancy to the ecological environment here. Mr. Qin, a merchant in Qingdao, said bluntly that this is the third time he has come to the village, and after the first two negotiations, he and the service team have initially reached an intention to invest in the construction of health care projects here, and the main purpose of this time is to study the site selection.
Why does such a remote small mountain village attract foreign merchants to come one after another?
"Thanks to the service team, the village of our poor and white has undergone earth-shaking changes." Li Jilong said frankly. Since the service team came to the village in July 2019, with the help of Jiang Wen and others, the village has built a new asphalt road, ending the history of no road in the village; established a cooperative and developed large-scale planting of tea and fruit trees; built a new homestay, and the rural picking leisure tour is in full swing; through toilet renovation, rain and sewage diversion and garbage classification, the scene of flying flies and mosquitoes in the village no longer exists.
"I have relatives in this village, and every time I used to come, I was worried, I was covered in dirt on sunny days, and mud on rainy days. Now it is different, I took the initiative to ask to come here to contract the operation of the homestay project, the restaurant is often full, before the villagers' red and white feasts had to run to the town to do, and now even the surrounding villages are here to do the banquets. From being worried, to now taking the initiative to invest in the industry, Zheng Bin, general manager of "Liyuan Riverside" Homestay, witnessed the "butterfly change" of Xiangchang Village.
"Since the service team came to the village, they have taken the matter of helping the village as their own business." Ding Lijin, liaison officer of the service team and director of the Convenience Service Center of Gongguan Town, said.
This month is the last month before the service of the service team expires, but their enthusiasm for serving the development of the countryside has not diminished. "Work has a time limit, and service has no time limit. Only by letting the environment in the village continue to be beautiful, the villagers' pockets bulging, and the village collective economy continue to grow, can the goal of rural revitalization be realized as soon as possible. Jiang Wen said that to put the countryside on the road to rejuvenation, we must insert two pairs of "wings" for the countryside. Among them, the tangible wings are a strong industrial foundation and a beautiful village living environment, and the invisible wings are the united village "two committees" team, a strong contingent of rural talents, and a rich cultural life of villagers.
On July 20, 2019, the service team came to Pingguan Town to help five villages, including Xiangchang, Gusitou, Yatou, Jiaogezhuang and Changqingzhuang, for a two-year period. "To revitalize the countryside, industry is the foundation. After two days of thorough visits, the first problem we found was that the village cadres and villagers generally did not have enough understanding of the cooperatives led by the village party branch, so on the fourth day, they organized the secretary of the village party branch to go to the villages in the surrounding cities to study on the spot, and after returning to the village, they led the party members and cadres in the village to carry out propaganda, so that they could first taste the sweetness brought by the cooperative. Ma Guangchuan introduced.
With the village party branch leading the cooperative as a breakthrough in industrial revitalization, the service team combined with the resource endowments of each village, in accordance with the concept of "one village, one product" to set up cooperatives in each village, to create advantageous characteristic industries, the business format covers tea, kiwifruit, sweet potato, chestnut and other characteristic agricultural products planting and e-commerce logistics, homestay farms, etc., the annual income of the village collective from the previous zero income or less than 30,000 yuan, all jumped to more than 100,000 yuan. In this year's change of the village "two committees" team, the service team took the initiative to lean on the top and follow up the whole process, and the members of the "two committees" team of the 5 villages were elected by people with high consciousness, strong ability, and vigor, and the party branch secretaries of two villages were "post-85s".
On the afternoon of July 14, the service team came to Gusitou Village to check the online sales of agricultural products and the construction of the cold chain logistics project base of the e-commerce center. "Poor storage conditions and poor sales of agricultural products are problems that plague villagers and village collectives to increase income. Last year, we registered and established Rizhao Lianjiao Rural Service E-commerce Co., Ltd. in The Village of Helping to Standardize and Create a Characteristic E-commerce Brand to Promote Production and Improve the Income of The Village Collective and Villagers. This year, more than 7 million yuan of special assistance funds were used to build a cold chain storage center with a capacity of 3,000 tons, which will be harvested in one season and sold throughout the year after completion, and at the same time provide services for the sales and storage of agricultural products in the town. Jiang Wen introduced that the construction of the e-commerce platform attracted 20 young men and women from the help village to join it, providing a talent reserve for the revitalization of the rural industry, and shandong commercial vocational and technical college built a social practice base for college students here, injecting new strength into the e-commerce platform to become bigger and stronger.
In addition, for two consecutive years, the service team held a celebration of the farmers' harvest festival in the village, enriching the cultural life of the villagers while broadening the sales channels of agricultural products through the exhibition and sale of agricultural products and wonderful intangible cultural heritage performances.
