The town's gross national product reached 68.362 million yuan in 2009; The total industrial output value of the town is 1, 6 1.2 million yuan; Total retail sales of social consumer goods 1, 2 1.5 million yuan; The per capita net income is 3027 yuan; Investment in fixed assets is 53.46 million yuan; The balance of fiscal savings is 48 million yuan.
First, the economic foundation is fragile. In the 1990s, the development of Wulian New Bridge made full use of the advantages of the junction of three counties and the intersection of national highway 108 and Xiaokaidao to develop the tertiary industry, which promoted the rapid development of the catering and entertainment service industry in Xinqiao. For a time, Xinqiao became a "red light district" that attracted the attention of the whole county, the whole city and even the whole province, and was nicknamed "Little Hong Kong" by the people. Its prosperity can be seen from this. The business tax of Xinqiao alone is more than 2 million yuan a year, which has made the first batch of households with 10,000 yuan in Wulian, but it has also laid the foundation for the negative economic growth in the future. In 2002, the original 108 national highway was diverted, and the popularity of Xinqiao plummeted. There are fewer and fewer cars and horses in front of her house, all restaurants are closed at the same time, and the roadside economy that promotes local economic development disappears. Despite the long-term efforts of the party Committee and government, the main agricultural industry based on flue-cured tobacco and high-quality grain and oil has been formed; It has also introduced several industrial enterprises with an investment of more than 5 million yuan, such as Xinmao Technology Company and Xingfu Brick Factory, but there is still a certain gap compared with the requirements of sustained and rapid development.
Second, business opportunities are not popular. Wulian, as a central market town, traffic gathering place and scattered population area, has not played a very good role in promoting radiation and cannot form the growth point of rural regional economic development. Wulian is located at the intersection of the original 108 national highway and the small road, and the market town is built according to the small road. Although Shilichang Street has a glorious history, the special terrain makes the population of the market town relatively scattered. However, the demand for social investment and consumption is small, and it is difficult to promote the development of business services, agricultural and sideline products processing, township enterprises and other related industries. The outflow of a large number of labor and production factors has seriously restricted the improvement of rural labor productivity and the formation of agricultural industrialization. Although the resident population of the market town is more than 3,000, its purchasing power is poor, and the habit of going to the market once every three days formed in history has also weakened the radiation function of the central market town.
Third, reconstruction has a long way to go. Wulian is located in the triangle of Jiangyou, Qingchuan and Zitong, and the linear distance from Beichuan is less than 100 km. The "5. 12" Wenchuan earthquake made Wulian a very serious disaster area in the county. Rural houses, infrastructure, industries and projects involved in post-disaster reconstruction. The town 1454 farmhouses collapsed and needed to be rebuilt, and 2,522 ordinary houses needed to be repaired and strengthened. The transformation of market towns is large and concentrated, and the construction task is very arduous. Town government, primary and secondary schools, hospitals, family planning stations, police stations, judicial offices, courts and other units need to be rebuilt; The oil roads of Wuwu Village, Zhaiqiao Village 14km village roads need to be restored, and the oil roads of 65km village roads in 9 villages need to be rectified. The reservoirs in five villages should be strengthened, and the flue-cured tobacco industry should be doubled on this basis. The smooth progress of post-disaster reconstruction needs the support of industrial development, and the people have higher and more realistic services and requirements for the government.
Fourth, the development environment is not excellent. Under the condition of socialist market economy, in the form of rapid social development and increasingly fierce competition, only development can lead to a way out. This requires ordinary people to have the intention of development, think about the way of development, seek development strategies, do development things and break the road of development. At present, there is a great contrast between the overall requirements of social development and the quality of backward citizens.
First, at present, most young, educated, knowledgeable and enterprising young people go out to work in rural areas, and rural areas are mainly composed of "empty nest" elderly people, left-behind children and women. They just want food and clothing, not earth-shattering, lacking competition consciousness, leading a life of muddling along and not focusing on development.
The second is the psychological imbalance of some people. Individual farmers do not develop themselves, nor do they want others to live beyond themselves. If others develop ahead of time, they will be dissatisfied and even jealous.
Third, the ability to use practical technology to get rich is poor. Due to the lack of systematic learning, some people have the desire to develop, but they suffer from the lack of technology, information and courage, which restricts their development. Others are indifferent to production and life, not eager for practical technology, and planting and breeding are based on old experience, which leads to low efficiency.
Fourth, poor legal awareness and lack of faith. Through the implementation of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" and the "Fifth Five-Year Plan", farmers' legal awareness has been improved, and a few people can protect their legitimate rights and interests according to law, but most farmers' legal awareness is still weak. In particular, citizens' awareness of public morality is lacking, and many people only talk about rights but not obligations, and only talk about taking and not paying. We only ask for the rights and preferential policies granted by the state, but we don't think about what we should do and what obligations we should undertake, and we don't pay attention to morality and integrity. This often leads to the grounding of rural collective public welfare undertakings. Ignorance of science, superstition, belief in geomantic omen, belief in cults, and entrusting one's destiny to the gods are still very common.
Fifth, resource integration is weak. Wulian is the first batch of small market towns in our county, but the construction of market towns basically stayed in the 1980s. The sewers are seriously blocked due to disrepair, and some people have not built septic tanks, resulting in the direct discharge of stolen goods and dirt without harmless treatment. Jue Yuan Temple is located in Wulianchang Town. Although the state has invested a lot, it only stays in the protection of cultural relics. The appearance of the market town flooded the national treasure, making people feel that "you will regret it for a lifetime, but you will regret it for a lifetime." Some experts, although full of praise, are reluctant to leave, saying that it is lucky to have such a national treasure in such a place, but they all show regrets that they don't know how to cherish and use it. How to develop tourism resources, how to plan scientifically, so that tourists can eat, see, play, live and bring what they want to eat organically, and attract and retain tourists. It is worthy of discussion and research by governments at all levels, so that it can play its role and value matching the national treasure.
development planning
The construction and development of Wulian is imperative, which cannot be separated from the attention of leaders, the concern of the masses and the participation of society. We should constantly explore ways to accelerate development in our work practice, adopt necessary policies and measures, closely combine post-disaster reconstruction with market town construction, and promote the sustained and rapid development of local economy through the construction of small towns. To this end, the author puts forward the following suggestions:
First, plan from a high starting point and draw a new blueprint for Wulian. The county party committee and government attach great importance to the construction of market towns and the tourism development of Juewan Temple. As early as the spring of 2007, the blueprint of "one city and eight towns" was put forward to promote the economic development of surrounding rural areas with the construction of central market towns. As one of the market towns, Wulian also has successful experience, so it is more important to establish the concept of managing market towns. In accordance with the principle of "unified planning, highlighting characteristics, optimizing environment and supporting functions", scientifically formulate plans and rationally regulate resources. On the basis of following the revision of the market town, three roads (one is Jue Yuan Temple Tourist Road, the other is Binhe Road, and the third is the road from the old 108 National Road to Wulianchang Town via Wuhoupo) are planned. Start the third bridge (five hundred bridge, river bridge and government bridge); Implement three zones (Xinqiao Industrial Park, Wuhoupo Agricultural Park and Jue Yuan Temple Tourism Development Zone); Construction of one station and two games (bus station, leisure and entertainment square, market town farmer's market).
The second is high-standard construction, highlighting the characteristics of style trees. What attracts people's attention in a place is its characteristics. Construction without characteristics lacks vitality and vigor. The construction of Wulian should be combined with tourism development, and the market town should be built into an ancient town that matches the unique Buddhist murals of Jue Yuan Temple. At the same time, improve the urban sewer network, and the middle and back streets are hardened with bluestone slabs as the main tone. Create a ten-mile-long green corridor on Orfila Road. Combined with post-disaster reconstruction in rural areas, we will tie up and make good use of related projects, such as work for relief, poverty alleviation in new villages, comprehensive agricultural development, post-disaster aid construction, and include rural housing reconstruction and infrastructure construction together. Five houses, Xinglong and other villages will be built into rural tourist villages, highlighting the characteristics of the new countryside. Other villages are characterized by their own industries, highlighting "one village, one product" and building them into professional industrial villages. Such as tobacco leaves in Miaoling Village, ginger in Sihe Village, sea pepper in Shuiquan Village, animal husbandry in Zhaiqiao Village, rice field mushrooms in Yuejin Village and walnuts in Zaoya Village.
Third, high-standard training will bring up new farmers of the times. My town's fragile industrial development is going to a higher level, and the conditions are not yet available, so it is generally seen that the road lies in the countryside and the key lies in farmers. And people's own quality plays a decisive role. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen farmers' training. First, it is necessary to improve farmers' scientific planting and breeding skills, strengthen practical technical training, enhance their ability to get rich, and enable farmers to establish a sense of development. Second, we should strengthen citizens' moral education and enhance citizens' moral and legal awareness. Prevent legal deficiency and moral decline. Change the concept of small farmers who are mainly self-sufficient. The third is to strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs and carry out the education of the party's basic knowledge and national conditions. Enhance citizens' awareness of honesty and cultivate citizens with "self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement".
Fourth, efficient management, revitalize the land. Revitalize land assets and do a good job in land to make money. First, it is an effective means to promote urban development by operating state-owned land in market towns, revitalizing existing land and accelerating the construction of public welfare undertakings in market towns. The development of "Hecheng Real Estate" is a successful example. It not only collected a certain land transfer fee, but also increased local taxes and fees, which changed Wulian's living environment and public consumption consciousness. The second is to explore and establish a more scientific and complete method of rural land and barren slope circulation. Concentrate the limited land in rural areas in the hands of large households and owners to maximize their interests. Lay a foundation for realizing agricultural industrialization. The development of "Yang Rong Orchard", "Dengjiashan" and "Zhaiziliang" barren hills is a model for the owners to develop. Its experience in deepening the reform of land use system was affirmed by the county party Committee and government as "Five Lotus Model"
Five, high demand management, innovative management mechanism. Completing the planning and construction of market towns requires management to keep up. Timely introduction of planning, greening, advertising, night lighting, environmental cleaning and other management regulations, increase law enforcement and investigation, and strengthen management in all directions, so that the management level of market towns has been significantly improved, and illegal construction and behavior have been effectively curbed. For rural areas, we should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of villagers' autonomy and democratic management of villages, carry out democratic management activities, establish democratic financial management teams and villagers' mediation committees, do a good job in rural public welfare undertakings through "one thing, one discussion", solve disputes and contradictions in rural areas through villagers' mediation committees, and restrain and guide the masses to do and how to do it through village rules and regulations. Lay a solid foundation for the sound and rapid development of Wulian. (Text/Pu Yongjun)
