Economic overview of Youxi County

Before the establishment of the county, Youxi County was known as the Shandong Zone, and it was gradually developed after the establishment of the county. In the Song Dynasty, the economy and culture gradually developed, and it was listed as a Shang County; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was known as "Minzhong Ni" Mountains"; in the early Ming Dynasty, mining, metallurgy, and landowners were heavily taxed, and peasant uprisings led by Jiang Fucheng and Zheng Yongzu broke out. Afterwards, Yinye was stopped and the land was allocated to establish Datian County. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, handicrafts, commerce, culture and education developed. However, officials from the feudal dynasties of this county have not made any significant contributions to the development of local economic resources. In the early years of the Republic of China, bandits were rioting, warlords were fighting, society was restless, and all industries were in decline. During the Anti-Japanese War, the mouth of the Minjiang River was blocked by the Japanese army. The export of agricultural and forestry products such as wood, soil paper and other agricultural and forestry products in the county and the import of food from outside were blocked, making people's lives difficult. During the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang strengthened its reactionary rule, and the revolutionary activities of the Communist Party of China in this county were destroyed and suppressed. At that time, the government imposed excessive taxes, currency depreciation, financial chaos, agriculture, forestry, industry and commerce were stagnant and shrinking, and people's livelihood was in decline.

After liberation, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, socialist construction developed rapidly, but there were also mistakes and setbacks. During the recovery period of the national economy from 1950 to 1952, after the suppression of banditry and the reform of land ownership, productivity was liberated, and the total industrial and agricultural output value (calculated at constant prices in 1980) increased by an average of 3.8944 million yuan per year; in the first five years from 1953 to 1957 During the planning period, the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce was completed, with the average annual increase rising to 4.696 million yuan; during the second five-year plan period from 1958 to 1962, the "Great Leap Forward" and "Communist Revolution" "Hindered the development of productivity, with an average annual increase of only 2.4702 million yuan; from 1963 to 1965, when the national economy's policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment, and improvement" was implemented, the average annual increase rose to 8.2311 million yuan; the "Cultural Revolution" In the ten years (the third and fourth five-year plan periods), the average annual increase in the first five years was only 1.6029 million yuan, and the average annual increase in the next five years was 6.3712 million yuan; in 1976, the "Cultural Revolution" movement ended, and in 1978, the * The Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was convened to correct the chaos, so that the total industrial and agricultural output value during the Fifth Five-Year Plan period increased by an average of 8.2194 million yuan per year; during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period from 1981 to 1985, the policy of reform and opening up was implemented. The average increase jumped to 15.379 million yuan. In 1985, the county's total industrial and agricultural output value was 224.8868 million yuan, an increase of 8.6 times compared with 1950.

Youxi County has a humid mid-subtropical monsoon climate, with abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall, abundant land and sufficient labor. These provide good conditions for developing agricultural production and carrying out diversified operations.

Before liberation, due to the long-term constraints of feudal land ownership, the county had inconvenient transportation, backward farming technology, single management, and slow production development. The main crops have always been rice, followed by sweet potatoes and a small amount of wheat, hemp, and tea fruits. Livestock and poultry are mainly raised with pigs, as well as chickens, ducks, rabbits, cattle, and sheep. Agricultural productivity is low, and when natural disasters occur, crops will fail or fail. During the Republic of China, food was scarce, farmers lived in poverty, and many people moved to other places to make a living.

After the founding of New China, Youxi County liberated productive forces through land reform and mutual aid and cooperation movements. At the same time, guidance on farming techniques has been gradually strengthened, and agricultural production efficiency has been rapidly improved. In 1953, the county's total grain output increased by 43.63% compared with 1949, and it began to provide commercial grain to the country, ending the county's history of food shortage. In 1956, the county's total grain output increased by 47.3% compared with 1950, an annual increase of 6.67%, providing 5.255 million kilograms of commercial grain; the total agricultural output value (constant prices in 1980, the same below) increased by 76.6% compared with 1950, an annual increase of 10%.

After the rural people's communes were established in the county in October 1958, the "industry wind" blew, which dampened the enthusiasm of farmers. Coupled with natural disasters, the grain harvest failed for three consecutive years, and farmers' incomes decreased and their lives became difficult. difficulty. In 1962, the "Regulations on the Work of Rural People's Communes (Sixty Articles)" was fully implemented, corrected some "left" mistakes in rural work, mobilized farmers' enthusiasm, and at the same time promoted improved varieties, raised sows on a large scale, carried out diversified operations, and produced There has been some development.

After the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", the so-called restoration of capitalism was criticized, farmers were restricted from diversified operations, and agricultural production was once again damaged. After 1970, farmland infrastructure was built and the "three reforms and three expansions" of rice were implemented. Although grain production increased significantly, the investment in infrastructure was too large, diversified operations were ignored, the economic benefits were low, and farmers' lives were not improved much.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, we began to comprehensively and conscientiously correct the "Left" errors made during the "Cultural Revolution" and before, carry out agricultural economic system reform, and implement joint production contract responsibilities system; implement the policy of "never relaxing food production and actively carry out diversified operations"; promote scientific and technological achievements such as hybrid rice, citrus climbing, pig artificial insemination, and increase power machinery and chemical fertilizers, and agricultural production has achieved a more comprehensive development. In 1985, the county's total grain output was 172.786 million kilograms, an increase of 28.45% compared with 1978 and an increase of 3.2 times compared with 1950. The county sold 30.39 million kilograms of national commercial grain, becoming the province's commercial grain base county. The output of fruits, tea, freshwater fish, soybeans, pigs, etc. has also increased rapidly. In 1985, the county's total agricultural output value was 131.3507 million yuan, accounting for 58.41% of the total industrial and agricultural output value. The agricultural production structure has been initially improved, with diversified operations accounting for 60.7% of the total agricultural output value in 1985. This proportion is 5% higher than in 1976 and 15% higher than in 1950. Various specialized households, key households and economic complexes continued to appear in rural areas, which increased the commodity rate of agricultural products (44.4% in 1985). The countryside is prosperous.

In 2012, the agricultural output value was 3.663 billion yuan. Before the Republic of China, the industries in Youxi County only included papermaking, shipbuilding, silver smelting, iron smelting, lime burning, ceramics making, pot casting, wine making, soy sauce making, sugar pressing, oil pressing, woodware, bambooware, ironware and other workshops, as well as Family sideline businesses such as weaving cloth, weaving mats, elastic cotton, and weaving brown clothes are all self-employed, with small scale, manual operation, simple tools, and scattered locations. During the Republic of China, three modern industrial enterprises, namely power generation, printing, and military industry, appeared, and they were also small in scale. On the eve of the peaceful liberation of Youxi, there were only 15 handicraft industries, 150 workshops and 2 factories in the county.

After the peaceful liberation of Youxi, the Youxi County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the County People's Government actively supported industry. Local industry developed rapidly, not only transforming private industry, but also actively establishing local state-owned industry and collectively owned industry. enterprise. But there are also lessons in how to develop industrial production. For example: the "big steel smelting" in 1958 was not worth the gain, the "early transition" of the handicraft industry was half the result, and the industry suffered setbacks during the "Cultural Revolution", so we should all take warning. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, industries such as forest products, chemicals, bamboo and wood processing, papermaking, building materials, and canned food, which are based on local advantageous resources, have developed vigorously. The expansion and construction of enterprises, technological transformation and the introduction and development of new products continue to increase the vitality of the industry. For the management of industrial enterprises, most of the enterprises owned by the whole people and collectively owned have established and improved a democratic management system with the workers' congress as the main form, and implemented the rules and regulations for the management of various industrial enterprises formulated by the state. At the same time, the autonomy of enterprises has been expanded, the operation contract responsibility system has been implemented, rural industrial enterprises have been established, and economic benefits have been significantly improved. The variety and output of industrial products have increased, and their quality has improved. Products entering the international market include: rosin, turpentine, water wheel pumps, high and low voltage electric porcelain, daily porcelain, cans, tungsten concentrate, white stone rice, bamboo, bamboo weaving and jewelry box crafts.

The traditional products that are praised as excellent in the province include: "Manshanhong" rice wine, "Shanhua" wine, and Xinqiao dried powder. In 1985, the county had 20 categories including forestry industry, food, chemical industry, papermaking, building materials, electricity, machinery, ceramics, electronics, printing, arts and crafts, mining and metallurgy, and sewing, with 4,456 enterprises and 22,622 employees. The total industrial output value It reached 93.5361 million yuan (an increase of 100.24 times compared with 1950 and an increase of 1.02 times compared with 1978), accounting for 41.59% of the county's total industrial and agricultural output value that year. Among them, there are 25 local state-owned enterprises with 3,770 employees, a total output value of 42.1946 million yuan, accounting for 45.11% of the total industrial output value, and a total labor productivity of 10,812 yuan, an increase of 540 yuan over 1981 and an increase of 1,177 yuan over 1978; county-run collectives There are 31 enterprises with 1,577 employees, a total output value of 9.3702 million yuan, accounting for 10.02% of the total industrial output value, and a labor productivity of 4,457 yuan, an increase of 338 yuan over 1981; township (town) offices, village offices, consortiums, individual enterprises and other enterprises There are 4,400 companies with 17,275 employees and a total output value of 41.9713 million yuan, an increase of 1.78 times compared with 1978, accounting for 44.87% of the total industrial output value.

In 2012, there were 192 industrial enterprises above designated size in the county, with a total industrial output value of 17.208 billion yuan and an industrial added value of 5.039 billion yuan, an increase of 21.1% and 22.0% respectively over the previous year. The county's three leading industries achieved an industrial output value of 15.09 billion yuan, accounting for 87.7% of the total industrial output value above designated size, of which the output value of the textile and clothing industry was 8.73 billion yuan, the output value of the forestry industry was 3.16 billion yuan, and the output value of the minerals and mineral products industry was 3.20 billion yuan. Yuan.

Youxi Economic Development Zone was established in 2003. In 2006, it was approved by the provincial government and confirmed by the National Development and Reform Commission to be upgraded to a provincial development zone. It has a total planned area of ??72 square kilometers, forming a city center with 13,500 square kilometers. The "one area, multiple gardens" pattern of the main gardens includes the Chengxi Garden of 4,800 acres, the Chengnan Garden of 82,000 acres, the Linkeng Garden of 5,000 acres, and the Xianshan Garden of 2,700 acres. It has developed an area of ??nearly 20,000 acres, with more than 150 companies and more than 20,000 employees. The industrial cluster with forest products, textiles and food processing as the leading industries has begun to take shape. Many economic indicators of the development zone are at the forefront of development zones in mountainous counties in the province, and it has won honorary titles such as "Fujian Provincial Advanced Unit for Industrial Park Construction", "Fujian Provincial Harmonious Labor Relations Industrial Park", and "Haixi Top Ten Brand Industrial Parks" , designated by the People's Bank of China as a sample collection point for the national small and medium-sized enterprise development status information survey. According to the "Youxi County Chronicle" of the Republic of China, there were shops in the towns and fairs in the countryside in the Song Dynasty; commerce developed rapidly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the county's main export commodities were tea, native paper, charcoal, firewood chips, dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wood, and moso bamboo; its main input commodities were salt, cotton cloth, daily groceries, fruits, seafood, and Chinese medicinal materials. Commodity transportation mainly relies on shipping, rafting and shoulder-carrying. Villages located on transportation thoroughfares gradually formed market and trading places. Some large villages on both sides of the Youxi River gradually formed wharfs or small market towns for the distribution and transfer of commodities. Various shops were opened one after another. Merchants with relatively large capital set up shops and warehouses in the county towns to carry out both wholesale and retail buying and selling activities. Some small traders and hawkers also emerged. The county gradually formed a commercial center.

During the Republic of China, war and banditry continued in this county, and the society was extremely unstable. Although some businessmen from Jiangxi, Fuzhou, Yongchun and other places have opened businesses in Youxi County, the market is still not prosperous due to traffic congestion in mountainous areas, difficulty in transporting goods, and low production levels and people's purchasing power. Especially during the reign of warlord Lu Xingbang, local currency was issued, disrupting the market. "Guangyu" tickets were stopped and invalidated, and "Huatong" tickets were withdrawn at a discount, causing some businessmen and farmers to suffer losses. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the bureaucrats and wealthy gentry squeezed into business, used their power to monopolize the market, raised and lowered prices at will, and squeezed out small merchants and hawkers, causing the market to wither. By the 35th year of the Republic of China (1946), there were only 693 large and small shops in the county, which dropped to 570 in the 37th year of the Republic of China, and to 280 in the beginning of the 38th year of the Republic of China.

On July 5, 1949, Youxi was peacefully liberated. The county people's government first protected the original businesses. At the same time, under the guidance of the policy of "developing the economy and ensuring supply", we gradually established state-owned commerce and cooperative supply and marketing commerce, implemented unified purchasing and marketing of grain, oil, timber, etc., and implemented monopoly on agricultural production materials. This will help prevent illegal businessmen from hoarding and stabilize the market. Market prices and ensuring material supply played a big role. Starting in August 1954, the socialist transformation of private commerce was basically completed by the end of 1956. State-owned commerce and supply and marketing cooperative commerce have gradually grown to become the mainstay of the market economy. However, during the "Great Leap Forward" and "Cultural Revolution", commodity production was mistakenly regarded as the "tail of capitalism" and was cut off, which restricted the market for many agricultural and sideline products. During these two periods, almost only state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives operated market supplies. The shortage of supplies caused inconvenience to people's production and life.

After 1978, commercial work implemented the policy of "opening up to the outside world and invigorating the inside", and restored the coexistence of state-owned, collective, and individual economic sectors. Implement multiple operating methods and an operating contract responsibility system. In 1985, there were 2,835 retail commercial outlets in the county, 2.4 times more than in 1956. All 24 polders were opened. The urban and rural markets were unprecedentedly prosperous, and both domestic and foreign trade were booming.

Comparing 1956 with 1985, the total purchase of agricultural and sideline products in the county increased from 1.49 million yuan to 46.8686 million yuan; the total amount of social retail goods increased from 8.355 million yuan to 92.8503 million yuan. The total value of foreign trade exports increased from 196,000 yuan in 1958 to 6.326 million yuan in 1985. State-owned commerce suffered a loss of 41,400 yuan in 1956 and a profit of 708,000 yuan in 1985. The profit realized by the supply and marketing cooperative business increased from 51,000 yuan in 1953 to 1.0002 million yuan in 1985.
