After the founding of New China, in the spring of 1955, the provincial reform-through-labour detachment reclaimed land in Shuangtaizi area. 1956 evacuation after flood. In the winter of 1962, jinan military area command troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army reclaimed 39,000 mu of land in Chengxi Lake, and were forced to withdraw in the winter of 1963 and 1964 due to floods. In the mid-1960s, the guiding ideology of the national agricultural work was "grain as the key link", and the slogans of "high mountains need grain" and "lakes need grain" were put forward. "Reclaiming farmland around lakes" is listed as one of the ways to solve the food shortage. 1966 65438+ 10, the Nanjing Military Region planned to build a large farm with 65438+ 10,000 mu of cultivated land in Chengxi Lake in order to implement Chairman Mao's instruction of "preparing for the famine and serving the people". From October to April in 65438/KLOC-0, Nanjing Military Region, provinces, prefectures and counties, after many consultations and on-the-spot investigations, agreed on the plan of "radically treating the West Lake, making unified planning, benefiting the people of the army and the people, combining peacetime and wartime, and running the site diligently" and reported it to the Central Military Commission. On May 15, the Central Committee officially announced Chairman Mao's "May 7th" instruction. According to the spirit of the May 7th Directive, the Party Committee of Nanjing Military Region decided to reclaim the West Lake and build the West Lake Farm. In June, the West Lake Reclamation Headquarters was established, and the Nanjing Military Region sent two divisions. The county mobilized 654.38+10,000 migrant workers, and completed civil-military cooperation 1 1972 from September to June, and reclaimed land178,000 mu, including 65,438 mu in Wei Jun. Junken Farm is adjacent to Shaogang and Wuta Township across the Hegang River, connected to Gaotang, Chen Ying and Chen Zui in the west and north, and connected to Chenbu Township, Paifang Township and Chengguan Town across the Hegang River in the east. The reclamation area is the perennial water storage area of Chengxi Lake, and it was also the official reclamation area and price collection area of Anhui University in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936).
1966 to 1986, the total investment in reclamation of Chengxi Lake is more than 43 million yuan, including more than 24 million yuan for local area and 0/90,000 yuan for troops. The existing cultivated land of Chengxihu Military Reclamation Farm is 1.25 million mu, which was originally an uncultivated water storage area below 1.9 m (including 1.9 m). After reclamation, 1.967 harvested more than 27 million kilograms of wheat and beans. 1968 was flooded in autumn, and more than 36.6 million Jin of wheat was still harvested that afternoon. Before 1979, 33% of the farmland planted rice and 67% planted dry grain. After 1980, all crops were planted on dry land. Average grain output over the years: 400 kg of rice, 225 kg of wheat (including barley), 93 kg of beans and 220 kg of sorghum; The average annual output is 35 million Jin, the average annual output value (including sideline production)150,000 yuan, the net income is about 4 million yuan, and the maximum net income of 198 1 year is 4.69 million yuan. 1969 and 197 1 lost10.4 million yuan and10.37 million yuan, respectively, and they all had surpluses in other years.
198 1, Chengxi Lake Army Reclamation Farm harvested 637 million Jin of grain (1982 to 1986 were not counted), of which 487 million Jin was handed over to the state (actually Anhui Province), accounting for 76.45% of the total harvest; Sold to local 49 million Jin, accounting for 7.7% of the total harvest; The army increased by 46 million Jin, accounting for 7.22%; The troops subsidized 28 million Jin by themselves, accounting for 4.40% of the total harvest; Others (feed, disaster relief, etc. ) reached 27 million Jin, accounting for 4.23% of the total harvest.
The annual grain output of Chengxihu Military Reclamation Farm varies greatly, with the highest reaching 68.36 million Jin (1974), the lowest only11260,000 Jin (1969), and the highest year is 6.07 times that of the lowest year (Tables 6-3 and 6-4).
After the completion of the farm, social benefits have been brought into play, and the cultivated land in Chen Zui, Chen Ying, Wangjiekou, Modian and Linhuai 1 1 residential areas in the reclamation area has improved the yield guarantee coefficient. In Chen Ying Township in the north, the average annual precipitation in 1963 and 1964 was 1204 mm, which was reduced due to waterlogging in these two years, and the average annual grain harvest was only1450,000 Jin. 1982, when the precipitation 1208 mm, the grain harvest12.7 million Jin. Several other towns and villages have similar situations. Secondly, the locust plague was eradicated, and no locust plague occurred in 20 years of reclamation, saving 654.38+million yuan in locust control funds every year. The traffic has been improved, and the Linhuaigang lock was built during reclamation, so that ships from the inner lake and the outer river can go directly, saving 288,000 yuan in dam turning fees every year. Due to the deep excavation of the drainage ditch, the elevation of the river bottom is 15m, which is 3m lower than the lowest point in the lake. So the route was extended by 40km, and roads were built under the lake. Chengguan leads to Shidian, Zhou Ji and other towns 10, without bypassing Changji and Hekou, and the distance is shortened by 30 km to 40 km. Over the years, the farm has sent 693 medical teams, treated 9 1460 people and trained 262 local medical staff. In addition, the army provided 63.57 million working days to 465,438+0,432 families around; Provide 1940 vehicle transportation 1 12226 tons of materials; 350 machines; Machine repair 12963 pieces; 64,535 tons of chemical fertilizer; Training 1 1085 militia; Training 4435 students; Training 128 agricultural technicians; The plane killed 25 sorties, 123680 mu; Rescue 7 1 time, and rescue 650 people in distress; The reduction or exemption of electricity charges, drainage fees and loans amounted to 654,890 yuan.
