Approaching the Shanping Group of Democratic Village, Zhongjian Township, Qianxi County, the lush trees are still luxuriant, and the ferns cover the ground like a green carpet. Among the verdant green hills, there is a hidden planting base of Gastrodia elata. These forests and mountains have become the Jinshan and Silver Mountains of the local people.

Speed up "ecological construction" and attract funds to "accurately help the poor" to grow Gastrodia elata

Democratic Village has always taken "ecological construction" as the theme of development, adhering to the development concept of "not only green water and green mountains, but also Jinshan and Yinshan". It has successively carried out afforestation and planted more than 4000 mu of walnut economic fruit forest, making the forest coverage rate of more than 58%.

In order to let the masses reap ecological dividends and get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, the village held many village meetings to discuss strategies for development. Many people thought that planting corn after returning farmland to forests was not the way out, but there was nothing they could do for a while. Some people proposed a kind of medicinal herbs, but many people did not agree, but in the mind of Chen Guanghai, a branch secretary of the village, planting Chinese herbal medicines was a way to get rich, so he organized the two committees of the village to go deep into the mountains and forests to investigate. It was found that wild Gastrodia elata grew in the forest of Shanping group, which strengthened his confidence in playing the ecological card of planting Gastrodia elata, so he decided to lead the masses to develop and grow Gastrodia elata.

However, the following problems lie ahead: first of all, there is no ready capital in the village, and secondly, the road is not wide and hardened, and no one in the village knows how to grow the technology. After thinking hard, the secretary of the village branch decided to mobilize talented people in the village to return to their hometown to start a business. after door-to-door visits, he learned that Wu Yonggui and Wu Shixin of the Shaping group in the village had contracted out projects in Guiyang and earned millions, so they contacted them many times to mobilize them to plant Gastrodia elata in their hometown and promised to coordinate the transfer of woodland for them. The Wu brothers readily promised to return home to invest.

It is a real benefit to build a base to seek experts to teach the technical masses.

In early summer, the two brothers surnamed Wu came home and registered funds to set up the "Qianxi County Zhongjian Township Stone traditional Chinese Medicine planting Base" company. They have reported to our township leaders many times that, with the help of the two village committees, they have successfully transferred 500 mu of woodland as a planting base for Gastrodia elata, which is planted in three stages, with 150 mu in the first phase and 350 mu in the second and third stages. at present, the first phase has been completed. Chen Guanghai, secretary of the village branch, introduced it.

"our original intention is to drive more villagers to get rich. In order to succeed in one fell swoop, the company introduced Gastrodia elata seeds from Xiaocaoba Township, Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, thousands of miles away, and paid experts there to conduct soil analysis to make the villagers believe that this is a suitable place to grow Gastrodia elata. They also invited technicians to guide and train the masses, and taught the villagers to plant Gastrodia elata by hand, so that everyone could not only make money but also learn the technology. They are all very happy! " Wu Yonggui said so.

These two young bosses only hire local villagers to work nearby to earn money to take care of the young and old. the small wage is calculated at 100 yuan a day, which is quite cost-effective. 30 to 40 people work for them in the mountains every day. Many villagers in this village told me. "from turning the soil to the completion of planting, plus various transportation costs such as sterilization and sprouting bacteria, a total of 170000 yuan was paid to the workers, as well as seed funds. A total of more than 700,000 yuan has been invested. Wu Shixin calculated every account for the author.

The demonstration of building a highway leads the masses to become rich and well-off

"if you want to get rich, build the road." In order to make it convenient for the masses to travel and dispel the concern that the Wu family and the two brothers will not be able to plant Gastrodia elata, our village has first hardened the Shaping group highway, which has now hardened through 2 kilometers, and the remaining 3 kilometers have been built with a roadbed and a large slag cushion, which can be completed and opened to traffic in early November. Zhang Yizhi, deputy director of the village, said.

"We are all locals, and we are relatively young, and some villagers are not very convinced that they will not be able to make money. Now only a few families cooperate with us. Each family has planted a few mu of Gastrodia elata, and they produce land, the company produces seeds, finds a market, teaches them skills, and takes them to grow hemp to make money." Wu Shixin said so. "Gastrodia elata has a good market, and we are the first one in western Guizhou. We can sell at least 50 yuan per jin, and the 150 mu of Gastrodia elata can earn at least 60,000 jin, and the gross income will be more than 3 million yuan. Apart from capital and workers' wages, we can also earn more than 1 million yuan. When we make money, there must be more people who will grow, and then everyone will become rich." Wu Yonggui spoke confidently.

"because some people do not believe that they are afraid of seed failure, we carry out the project of" bringing noodles by point ". After the success of some ethnic groups, we will demonstrate and drive other farmers to plant and achieve full coverage. now the masses have begun to get real benefits." there is no problem for the whole village to shake off poverty and become well-off by 2020. Chen Guanghai, secretary of the village branch, said happily.
