Chapter 515: A Hundred Years Plan (asking for monthly tickets!)
Dongting Lake, formerly known as Yunmeng, Jiujiang and Chonghu.

This place is named after the Dongting Mountain in the lake. The vast expanse of 800 miles is full of scenic spots. When passing by this place, all the literati and poets would go to the towers by the lake to compose poems and chant, leaving behind many immortal masterpieces. The most famous of these is probably the poem "Looking at Dongting Lake and Presenting it to Prime Minister Zhang" by the great Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran:
In August, the lake level is too clear.

Qi steams clouds and dreams, waves shake Yueyang City.

If you want to help you without a boat, you will be ashamed of the Holy Ming.

Sitting and watching the angler, there is only envy of fish.

It was already the last day of December 95.

Although the water level of the 800-li Dongting Lake was not as vigorous as that in August, the magnificent scene that Zhang Yunqi saw in the heavy snow when he arrived here was not necessarily worse than the one described by the great Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran a thousand years ago: vast and boundless, with water and sky blending into one, nourishing the vast Xiaoxiang land.

He arrived at nine in the morning.

The first stop is Qianliang Lake in Dongting.

The team is extremely large. In addition to provincial and local leaders, there are also many leading experts from the Xiangnan Water Conservancy Service Center, the Xiangnan Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, as well as the University of Technology and the Xiangnan Agricultural University.

Hu Xianxun walked in front with his hands behind his back, and a group of experts and scholars surrounded him.

Zhang Yunqi followed behind. Except for Liu Minsheng and Wang Minghui, president of the Agricultural Bank of China branch, no one present knew him. If Hu Xianxun had not occasionally chatted with him, he would probably have classified such a young man as a security guard.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yunqi remembered that the last time he came to Dongting Lake was many years ago. At that time, Dongting Lake still had some of its original artistic conception, with vast smoke and waves for thousands of miles, boundless in the snow, and huge waves surging from time to time, as if rolling in the sea of ​​clouds. However, compared with the poetic and picturesque scene in front of him, what Zhang Yunqi was thinking in his heart was what this scene meant, and what was the profound meaning of Hu Xianxun's visit here for research on the last day of 95.

Zhang Yun had specifically learned about it before he got up.

He knew that Dongting Lake, as the third largest freshwater lake in my country, is the true kidney of the Yangtze River, an ecological wetland, and the largest and most important grain, oil, aquatic and breeding base in southern Hunan. Dongting Lake has played a major role in southern Hunan ranking first in rice production in the country for more than 40 years.

However, for a long time, due to the failure to properly handle the relationship between man and nature in economic development, soil erosion has been serious in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the four river basins, a large amount of silt has accumulated in the lake area, the flood storage and discharge capacity has weakened, the lake bed and water level have continued to rise, and the lake area has decreased sharply. Over the past 1825 years, Dongting Lake has shrunk from 6000 square kilometers in 4350 to 1995 square kilometers before the founding of New China. As of the last day of 2625, the surface area of ​​Dongting Lake had dropped to square kilometers!

After the reform and opening up in 79, with the rapid development of social economy and the continuous concentration of social wealth, the development of water resources and land resources in Dongting area has also entered an accelerated stage, but it has also damaged the natural environment, caused serious soil erosion, and various floods. The economic losses caused by this are getting bigger and bigger. According to preliminary estimates, the direct economic losses in Dongting area have exceeded 150 billion yuan per year! This is 1995 billion yuan in 150, which is far more than the GDP of Jiangchuan, a prefecture-level city with rapid economic development in recent years. It is extremely exaggerated and has seriously affected the economic development and ecological environment in southern Hunan.

It is now urgent to eradicate floods, promote the intensive modernization of agriculture and fisheries, restore the ecological functions of wetlands, and achieve sustainable social and economic development in the Dongting Lake area.

In the middle of this year, when Hu Xianxun accompanied Vice President Zhu to inspect Dongting Lake, the vice president clearly pointed out: "The development of Dongting Lake needs a long-term plan. First, the surface of Dongting Lake should be restored to the 4350 square kilometers before the founding of New China. Secondly, several cities should be planned outside the lakeside, the infrastructure should be gradually built, and then people should be moved in year by year. Several large cities around the lake will be tourist cities in the future."

At this point, the Dongting Lake Project Planning Office was established.

Codenamed Project 4350!

That is, through industrial planning for immigration and town building, planning for immigration and new towns, ecological planning for the three major cities in the Dongting Lake area and new towns, transportation planning and flood control planning, etc., we will promote the relocation of millions of farmers in more than 1949 dikes in batches, return farmland to the lake, level the dikes to divert floodwaters, relocate and build towns, and restore Dongting Lake to the surface of more than 4350 square kilometers before , thus making it the largest freshwater lake in China again!
This must be a huge project that will require the whole province's efforts and take decades of effort!
However, where does the money come from for such a large project?

This is the question Zhang Yunqi has been thinking about all the time he is with the team inspecting Dongting Lake. He does not have the expertise of experts in water conservancy and urban planning to offer advice and suggestions, nor does he have the excitement of other accompanying personnel who are fortunate enough to participate in this century-long project to whisper in Hu Xianxun's ears.

He just knew clearly that all problems in this world are about money. Hu Xianxun called him up, most likely hoping that he could have different ideas and methods in this regard. There is a reason why Heshen could live a luxurious life with the Ten Perfect Old Man for so many years and still stand firm.

After inspecting the Qianlianghu embankment, the group went to Gongshuangcha embankment.

Go straight to the meeting in the afternoon.

The location is Fuyuan Hotel in Yueyang.

Zhang Yunqi sat at the lower seat. There was no arrangement for him to speak on the agenda, which made him feel a lot more relaxed. He had just started this project and didn't understand many specific things. He listened and took notes with a pen in hand, more seriously than when he was in his senior year of high school.

The project was so large that the meeting naturally covered a lot of content, and a large number of project planning groups were divided. The heads of the project planning groups reported to Hu Xianxun one by one, including affordable housing projects in flood-prone areas, customized comprehensive insurance, financial support and relocation compensation standards, relocation town planning, transportation planning, flood control projects and industrial assistance, employment security, financial instruments and land asset resource development and utilization, etc. After more than half of the meeting, Zhang Yunqi had learned a lot of concepts and ideas.

But at this moment Hu Xianxun suddenly looked at him, and the chief secretary Liu Minsheng next to him understood what he meant and immediately asked him to speak.

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and said, "Hello, leaders. I am Zhang Yunqi, the founder of Liansheng Group. I am very honored to attend this meeting and participate in Project 4350. However, I don't have a thorough understanding of this large-scale key project. I can only give a few immature opinions here for the reference of leaders and experts."

When he was speaking here, Zhang Yunqi spread out his notebook. He already had a preliminary idea about this project. Of course, this project was too big. He only focused on the area he was familiar with and said directly: "I just listened carefully to the speeches of the leaders and experts. I initially learned that the construction plan of the first phase of the 4350 project flood storage project is mainly for the relocation of residents in flood-prone areas such as Qianliang Lake. 44.75 people need to be resettled. In addition to the land returned to the lake at the embankment, there are about 54 mu of cultivated land and other land resources outside the flood safety zone. I think these resources are very valuable. At present, these land resources belong to the collective land of the village. They are all fragmented and decentralized family workshop-style agricultural management models. The land premium is not high and the management efficiency is low. Based on this, if our relevant units can set up a Dongting Lake asset management company to activate and efficiently utilize 54 mu of flood-prone land resources through cleaning, reclamation, circulation, operation and financial empowerment, I think we can definitely raise a huge amount of funds for the resettlement of residents and the promotion of local agricultural industry development."

Zhang Yunqi's words caught the attention of the experts and leaders present. Not only Zhang Yunqi, but anyone with a normal brain knew that the biggest problem with this project was funding. It was absolutely unrealistic to rely solely on fiscal appropriations. It was the consensus of the experts and leaders to make full use of the resources of Dongting Lake to raise part of the funds. However, how to make full use of them specifically was a long-standing problem that stood in their way. Seeing Zhang Yunqi speak so confidently, they were inevitably a little surprised.

Hu Xianxun said: "Tell me about your ideas."

Zhang Yunqi replied: "My ideas mainly have two aspects. First, for agricultural land resources, Dongting Asset Management Company will conduct centralized storage and circulation management, thereby generating high premiums. As for the specific storage model, I have come up with a new model of 'agricultural land rights are not confirmed, and farmers can leave the land but not the rights'."

"What do you mean?"

"Just now I heard the leader of the relocation planning team mention that farmers are not like city dwellers. They don't have jobs or social security, and land is the basic guarantee for farmers. Now we want to relocate 44.75 people in the flood-prone areas, which means that a large number of farmers will have to move away from their land. The journey to farm is very long and inconvenient. Agricultural management is hard work, which leads to their negative attitude towards relocation and some even become stubborn residents."

Zhang Yunqi paused and continued, "This is an objective situation. The leaders understand the difficulties faced by farmers. However, this is a major project that will benefit future generations and must be done. So how can we overcome the obstacle of farmers' reluctance to cooperate? The solution I have in mind is the model of 'land title confirmation without confirming the land, and farmers will not lose their rights to the land'."

Zhang Yunqi said: "In this model, the ownership of the land still belongs to the farmers during the 30-year contract period, but after the land is collected and stored in the hands of Dongting Asset Management Company, it is registered according to the share confirmation and certification. As a result, Dongting Lake Asset Management Company has become a large land asset operation and management company composed of tens of thousands of farmer shareholders. Logically, this is a large private equity fund group. The farmers' right to use arable land is the private equity fund inside, but the farmers no longer have specific land. Their land has become a number, a permanent right to income, so they no longer need to go to flood-safe areas to farm. Dongting Lake Asset Management Company can use these lands, introduce some large agricultural leading companies, and provide supporting policy investment and financing policies to create high-standard farmland, and then conduct centralized circulation, premium transactions, and modern large-scale mechanized operations, so as to ensure that farmers can receive high-net-worth dividends through land equity every year, and ensure that farmers have a basic guarantee for their lives."

"That's a good idea!" Liu Zhongliang, a professor at Xiangnan Agricultural University, spoke up. After listening to Zhang Yunqi, he thought about it carefully and said seriously, "'If the land is not confirmed, farmers will not lose the land but the rights'. This is the first time I've heard of such a land operation model. Mr. Zhang is really thoughtful. This model can not only solve the farmers' worries, but also eliminate the problem of land fragmentation and promote large-scale agricultural operations. It is most suitable to try it out in the Dongting area, which is a land of fertile soil and abundant fish and rice. Of course, if we want to try out this model, there are still many areas that need to be broken through at the policy level, such as the issue of land ownership, the issue of clearing assets and verifying capital, the issue of confirmation and registration, the issue of shareholding reform, etc."

"All responsible units will definitely fully cooperate with policy issues." Liu Chengwei, director of the Water Conservancy Affairs Center, turned to Hu Xianxun and said, "Secretary Hu, I think based on this land operation model, coupled with supporting migrant employment services, it should be able to effectively remove the obstacles of local farmers' lack of cooperation and enthusiasm."

Hu Xianxun nodded and said to Zhang Yunqi, "Go on."

Zhang Yunqi said: "My second idea is that in addition to the 54 mu of agricultural land, Qianlianghu and other flood-prone areas can also free up a large amount of idle homesteads and construction land after the residents are resettled. I recently saw the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Small Towns" issued by the state, which proposed to encourage the consolidation of rural construction land and to link the increase of urban construction land with the reduction of rural construction land."

Zhang Yunqi said: "At present, our country's commercial real estate and real estate have ushered in an opportunity for vigorous development. The value of urban and rural construction land will continue to highlight. Under this premise, the idle homesteads and construction land vacated in the Dongting Lake area will be vacated through remediation and reclamation measures. A large amount of construction land indicators will be vacated for the entire southern Hunan region for trading. What does it mean? For example, the amount of construction land in our Dongting Lake area has decreased, so we can increase the corresponding amount of construction land in the Lijin urban area with a good economic development momentum, but the Lijin area must purchase construction land indicators from the Dongting Lake area, so the Dongting Lake area can collect high-value indicator transaction income to subsidize the promotion of the 4350 project. In my opinion, this is the indicator transaction of the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land."

Zhang Yunqi added: "At the same time, we are promoting the transformation of agricultural land from fragmentation to large-scale management, breaking up the ridges, and with reclamation, we will inevitably be able to increase a large area of ​​arable land on the basis of 54 mu. The current national policy advocates that the amount of arable land occupied by construction should be supplemented by local governments with arable land of equivalent quantity and quality. If the occupying units do not have the conditions for reclamation, they should pay the arable land reclamation fee in accordance with the law, or achieve a balance between occupation and compensation through paid supplementation of equal areas in key ecological locations across different places. For example, we now have a lot of arable land in the Dongting Lake area, but those coastal economically developed areas have reduced the arable land area by expropriating arable land to develop industries. Then they can buy our Dongting area arable land indicators to achieve a balance between occupation and compensation of arable land. In my opinion, this is an indicator transaction for the balance of occupation and compensation of arable land."

At this point, Zhang Yunqi's mouth was already a little dry. When he picked up the teacup to drink water, he found that the leaders and experts present were all staring at him with rather strange expressions.

He coughed.

These are the land operation experiences of later generations.

The index trading of urban and rural construction land increase and decrease and the index trading of cultivated land occupation and compensation balance are new terms that came out of his mouth, but they are not too far ahead of the times. Now the country has issued relevant policy documents, but there is no professional and systematic term to describe this new land operation model. Now that he has thrown out this term and model, it is not difficult to understand why the experts are surprised.

Zhang Yunqi continued, "Leaders, my second idea is to use the vacated idle homesteads and construction land, ridges and roads to clear out a large amount of cultivated land through rectification and reclamation, and promote the trading of indicators for linking urban and rural land use and the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation. The trading price of indicators is extremely high, which will inevitably raise a large amount of funds for our project, thereby effectively solving the problem of shortage of funds for production and operation of reclaimed land in flood-prone areas."

After Zhang Yunqi finished his speech, Hu Xianxun put down his teacup. Seeing that the experts present were nodding one after another, a vague expression appeared on his dry and dark face.

Hu Xianxun lit a cigarette and said, "Although Mr. Zhang Yunqi is young, the idea he proposed is very insightful! Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, at least it breaks through the old thinking and old framework. The resources are still the same, but new paths and new methods have been found. They are not stuck in the financial support area and playing a hard role."

Hu Xianxun swept the leaders and experts present, and the conference room fell silent. He said: "The 4350 project is related to the century-long plan of economic development, social livelihood, and environmental ecology in southern Hunan. You must shoulder the historical responsibility and mission of the times, unify your thoughts, take stock of your assets, and innovate your ideas. In addition to financial support, you must also conduct in-depth research and demonstration on the feasibility of raising funds through various financial tools and land resources. The overall project planning team must strictly control policies, calculate ecological accounts, and uphold the purpose of serving the people."

At this point, Hu Xianxun looked at Zhang Yunqi and said, "As for the feasibility of this model, I think we can form a project expert group to conduct in-depth research. The obstacles at the policy level will be the responsibility of the overall project planning group. You go back and tell the project expert group and the financing group about the specific implementation path of the urban-rural land increase and decrease linkage index trading and the cultivated land occupation and compensation balance index trading. The new model of 'farmland rights are not confirmed, and farmers cannot lose their rights to the land' should also be studied carefully. It must be detailed and practical, and we must stand on the side of the people!"
