Weaving gold in summer is verdant and verdant. The beautiful scenery of green water and green mountains, like calligraphy and painting, adds a thick happy background to the picture of the people's good life, and seems that craftsmen have opened a "green channel" for the people to increase their income and become rich and go to a well-off society.

Small tea makes great industry

Clouds curl around and tea smells. Enter the Wumeng Limin Ecological Tea Farm in the "Zhijin County Osmanthus Water and Soil Conservation Science and Technology Demonstration Park" in Shuangyan Street, Zhijin County, and thousands of acres of tea trees stretch across the mountains. In the tea farm, hundreds of villagers are carrying bamboo baskets in groups, picking the shoots skillfully, and the originally quiet mountain is bustling.

"Ten years ago, a fire destroyed ten thousand mu of green forest, and the entire mountain ecological environment was severely hit, turning into a barren mountain." Cai Jing, the general manager and head of the base of Guizhou Wumeng Limin Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., said that in 2012, the company began to try to plant tea on the scarred "volcano", and explore the process of "greening", Achieve the simultaneous improvement of ecological and economic benefits.

Over the past 12 years, the planting area of Wumeng Limin Ecological Tea Farm has increased from the initial 1500 mu to 10000 mu, radiating and driving the development of tea planting in surrounding villages and towns to more than 40000 mu. It provides 84000 person times of labor for surrounding villages and towns every year, and pays 16.8 million yuan of labor wages annually.

Zhu Tianxiu is a resident of Shuangyan Street. Now she has been working in the tea farm for more than three years. "The tea farm is full of food and shelter. On average, five jin of tea can be picked in a day during tea picking. He usually works as a caretaker in the tea farm. His family also raises more than ten chickens and three cows, which can earn more than 100000 yuan a year." Zhu Tianxiu was satisfied with the benefits brought by the tea industry.

"This delicate fragrance in the mountains can capture your taste buds with the most authentic flavor after going through many processes such as withering, green removing, cutting and drying." Song Yong, the park's principal, said that the company has also set up a tea processing plant on the tea mountain, which processes 20000 tons of tea green per day, and sells more than 50 tons of famous and high-quality tea for 21 tea enterprises in the province every year, realizing an output value of more than 60 million yuan.

As a model for social capital to participate in the comprehensive management of water and soil loss, in 2022, the park won the first carbon ticket for tea garden forestry in Guizhou Province. So far, Zhijin, Guizhou, has also become the second birthplace of the carbon ticket for tea garden forestry in China after Sanming, Fujian. This carbon ticket covers an area of 5773 mu, radiating and driving the development of tea planting in 10 towns and 21 villages, with an approved carbon emission reduction of 6774.46 tons.

"You can exchange air for money, which has never been thought of before." With carbon tickets as credit collateral, since 2022, Cai Jing has accumulated a loan of 3 million yuan in Huimin Village Bank in Zhijin County for enterprise capital turnover.

Cai Jing said that in January last year, Wumeng Limin Ecological Tea Farm was awarded the Water and Soil Conservation Science and Technology Demonstration Park named by the Water Resources Department of Guizhou Province, which is also the first provincial water and soil conservation science and technology demonstration park in Bijie City. Now it has attracted nearly 200 people from 15 tea industry related research institutes, including the Tea Research Institute of Guizhou University, to exchange and study.

In recent years, Zhijin County has adhered to the big ecological concept of "green water and green mountains are Jinshan and Yinshan", and built an ecological industry of "tea mountains and flowers, fruits and vegetables all the year round, and rural tourism and homestay" led by the golden bud of "the king of tea amino acids". It has cultivated the tea industry into a pillar industry of ecological agriculture, built a mountain health landscape with ecological industry, and strengthened ecological agriculture, leisure and sightseeing, rural life experience New functions such as the display of ethnic culture and customs will fully promote ecological industrialization with the development model of "integration of agriculture, culture and tourism", comprehensively expand the channels for people to increase income, and further promote rural revitalization.

"Golden Fruit" Grows on the Slopes of Wasteland

At present, the five-star loquat in Shankou Village, Ziqiang Township, Zhijin County enters the picking season. In the loquat forest, loquat fruits hanging on the branches are more golden in the sunshine, emitting an intoxicating aroma. Under the forest, groups of loquat picking farmers and tourists who call friends to experience the fun of picking loquats make the originally silent mountains lively.

"Our 'five-star loquat' has grown to more than 1500 mu, and can create an annual output value of more than 4 million yuan for the local people every year." Chen Qiao, secretary of the Party Committee of Ziqiang Township, told the author that the golden harvest period of loquat is from mid May to early June every year. With the arrival of a large number of tourists, it has not only solved the problem of loquat sales, but also ignited rural tourism.

Shankou Village of Ziqiang Township is located on the bank of the Najie River at the upstream of the Baili Gallery at the source of the Wujiang River. The inverted pot style landform cannot cover the water and soil, and the land is becoming more and more barren. In recent years, Ziqiang Township has developed loquat planting industry that can not only conserve water but also produce economic benefits according to local conditions, and has embarked on a "ecological enrichment" road of mountain featured planting.

"Under the guidance of the government, scientific management and protection methods enable all loquats in Shankou Village to grow to the size of an egg." Local farmer Liu Qinghong's family has planted 20 mu loquats, and currently 14 mu loquats bear fruit. "There are an average of 32 trees per mu of land, and each tree can produce about 80 jin on average. According to the wholesale price of 6 yuan per jin, the output value of 14 mu of loquat can reach 220000 yuan. My family also raises 15 boxes of bees, which can sell about 15000 yuan per year, and about 20 jin of loquat scented tea can sell 600 yuan." Liu Qinghong accurately calculates the economic account.

Wujiangyuan Baili Gallery stands proudly by Dongfeng Lake like a cliff cut by a giant axe. In the demonstration planting base of bee sugar plums in Daping Township, Zhijin County, green bee sugar plums hang all over the branches.

"Last year, the price of our honey bee plum reached 40 to 50 yuan per kilogram because of its great taste and sweetness, and we were able to grow vegetables under the forest. We could get 120 yuan a day as a worker in the cooperative," said Wang Xiangfei, a villager in Yanjiao Village, Daping Township.

In order to make full use of the newly formed tens of thousands of mu of bee sugar plum forest land, Daping Township has formulated the "1+3" planting plan of "bee sugar plum+cabbage+pumpkin+pepper" according to local conditions, effectively improving the land utilization rate through the composite planting mode, and realizing the independent income of "four harvests for one piece of land".

In order to further optimize the agricultural industrial structure, promote agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' income, since 2017, Daping Township has adhered to the concept of becoming rich by industry, returning farmland to forests and planting 4041 mu of bee sugar plum, comprehensive control of rocky desertification in karst areas and planting 2500 mu of bee sugar plum, and comprehensive control of rocky desertification in karst areas and planting 1500 mu of bee sugar plum in 2018.

At the same time, in order to achieve large-scale development and achieve the goal of becoming rich in industry, Daping Township provides free seedlings for local people and drives farmers to plant more than 4000 mu of honey plum. At present, the planting area of honey plum in this township is more than 12000 mu.

Edible Mushrooms Open the "Getting Rich Umbrella"

On May 14, Hanpoling Forest Farm in Banqiao Town, Zhijin County, with the continuous undulation of the mountains, covered with clouds after the rain, seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, indistinctly like a fairyland. When you enter the forest land, pine needles are like cotton under your feet, birds are chirping in the branches, and the fresh air is refreshing. As far as I can see, the black bamboo fungus planting sheds meander among the woodlands.

"This forest farm is connected with Youhua Forest Farm, 3356 Project, returning farmland to forests and surrounding public welfare forests, and more than 15000 mu of forest forms a natural green barrier." Xiong Enlu, the head of Banqiao Town Forestry Station, pointed to the forest and said with interest. Today, the forest coverage in Banqiao Town has jumped from less than 30% in the past to 68.7%. Ecological deterioration has been effectively curbed and beautiful scenery is everywhere.

Keeping the ten thousand mu forest, the traditional industrial structure alone cannot benefit the masses. It is imperative to turn green waters and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains, steadily promote the "green revolution", and develop targeted industries to enrich the people.

Aimed at developing "green" industry, Santang Town, Zhijin County has made full use of forest resources to promote the under forest edible fungus industry in a powerful and orderly way among green waters and green mountains.

"Santang Town has a wide forest land and fertile land. The soil under the forest is humus. In addition, there is no heat in summer and cold in winter. So the town seized this unique natural advantage, vigorously developed the under forest economy, committed to expanding the planting space under the mountain forest, tapping the potential of forest land resources, taking mushroom, agaric and other edible fungi as the leading industries of under forest edible fungi, and making forestry and edible fungi The industry realizes complementary advantages, circular growth and coordinated development. Realize the ecological effect of "supporting bacteria with forests and promoting forests with bacteria", and turn the idle forest land into a land for people to become rich. " Long Hongyin, deputy mayor of Santang Town, said.

At present, the mushroom fragrance is overflowing in the greenhouse of the thousand mu edible fungus demonstration base under the forest in Santang Town. Row after row of mushroom sticks are placed neatly, and clusters of mushroom come out from the broken bags at both ends of the stick, fresh, plump, and growing happily.

"There are 2000 mu of demonstration forest land, 1 production workshop, and 14 million strains annually in the base of edible fungi under the forest. There are 600 greenhouses under the forest, 1100 mu of pleurotus ostreatus, 500 mu of red pine and 200 mu of agaric under the forest. When the temperature is good, about 8000 kg to 10000 kg of mushrooms can be harvested, and there are about 60 workers every day." Zhou Shuqing, a manager of Guizhou Zhiyuan Lianchuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., said, The development of edible fungus industry can not only give full play to the maximum value of forest land, but also solve the local surplus labor force, effectively solve the problem of villagers' employment nearby, and let migrant workers learn a skill.

Adapt measures to local conditions and make special use of local conditions. In recent years, Zhijin County has earnestly practiced the development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", relying on the rich ecological resources and unique climate conditions in the area, vigorously developing the characteristic industry of edible fungi. It has successively realized the "triple jump" of scale expansion, industrial upgrading and extension of the industrial chain, and has continuously made great efforts in building, supplementing, extending and strengthening the chain to promote the quality and efficiency improvement of the edible fungus industry and explore a new path for the development of the edible fungus industry.
