Green pepper in Guangming Village

In Ludian, Zhaotong, there is a Guangming village with barren land and ten years of drought in the Mid-levels. In order to get the villagers out of poverty and become rich, Tan Dejun, the village branch secretary, is really heartbroken. "for a period of time, I couldn't sleep all night, and finally figured out a way. The most suitable crop for barren land is Zanthoxylum bungeanum, and the cost is low and the effect is quick."

The reporter learned that Tan Dejun did what he said and began to mobilize door to door, but unexpectedly he was shut out.

"does it work or not? Can such a few prickly ash trees make money? "

The villagers looked at him suspiciously. They feel that pepper cannot be eaten as a meal, and they are unwilling to plant it.

So Tan Dejun asked the members of the party branch of Guangming Village to organize the masses to inspect and study in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places, and to do their work one by one. "the main reason is that I took the lead in planting it, and there is a demonstration effect of making money. By 2016, the planting area of Zanthoxylum bungeanum in Guangming Village has reached 15000 mu, and the villagers' income from planting Zanthoxylum bungeanum alone has reached more than 6300 yuan per capita. " Tan Dejun said.

According to reports, in 2014, Ludian Zanthoxylum bungeanum, represented by Guangming Village Zanthoxylum bungeanum, was authorized by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce as the Geographical Certification Trademark.

In August 2015, an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale struck Ludian. Tan Dejun led the masses in emergency rescue, recovery and reconstruction, and greatly improved infrastructure such as housing, transportation, water conservancy and education. "in the industrial reconstruction, the village invested 2 million yuan to improve the quality and efficiency of Zanthoxylum bungeanum 10000 mu. Established Ludian County University Village official agricultural products e-commerce direct sales store, and through a variety of agricultural products promotion meetings, expositions to increase publicity and promotion efforts to expand the influence of "Ludian Green Pepper". " Tan Dejun said.

At the same time, he led the masses to develop "raising native chickens under prickly ash trees". At present, there are 51 farmers raising more than 1000 pepper forest chickens in Guangming Village, with an annual output of more than 80000 birds in the village. Pepper farmers only raise pepper forest chicken, which can increase their income by more than 5000 yuan per mu.

The person in charge of the poverty alleviation office in Ludian County said that General Secretary Xi also praised "small prickly ash trees and big industries to get rich" when he visited the earthquake-stricken area in Ludian in 2015.
