agricultural development

The agriculture of Shenao village is mainly grain production, but the mountain forest production is very little. Most of the farmland is located near the village. Building weirs and digging ponds were the main water conservancy works in the old days. Because of the simple and crude projects, the weather was less than ten days, and the drought was becoming more and more severe. In 1934, there was a severe drought, resulting in the withering of rice fields and a great shortage of grain.

After 1949, relying on the collective, after more than 30 years of irrigation and water conservancy construction, Miaotang was expanded, xialunwu reservoir and zhefengtang reservoir were built, five reservoir diversion channels were built, and huangnizhoufan was leveled. All irrigation reached self fluidization, drought basically eliminated, and agricultural production gradually developed.

In the old days, rice and wheat were planted twice a year, yielding more than 600 Jin per mu. In 1956, double cropping rice was successfully transformed into three cropping rice. Tractors were first used in 1974. By 1992, about 70% of the area was cultivated by machines. Hybrid rice was popularized in 1976. In 1979, the total grain output was 2.7 million jin, 1600 Jin per mu, the highest in history.

Forestry development

The mountain forest is mainly firewood forest. In 1962, a forestry group was set up to carry out afforestation. In 1963, 50 mu of Phyllostachys pubescens was planted in huliwan. Now the bamboo forest is flourishing and there is more than enough for self use. In 1979 and 1980, 300 mu of Cunninghamia lanceolata were planted in kewuli, growing well, and a large area of Pinus flyingii has also been planted, with a timber stock of about 5000 cubic meters. In 1982, more than 40 mu of tea garden was built in Huangshan. In 1987, it was picked, with an annual output of more than 4000 Jin of green tea.

industrial development

Shenao village has a long history of making woolen paper by hand. At the beginning of the Republic of China, there were more than 30 paper slots in the village, which were interrupted during the Anti Japanese war. After 1949, in order to solve the problem of labor force, woolen paper production recovered and developed. In the 1970s, the number of paper troughs increased to more than 100. After the rise of rural industry, this industry gradually stopped. In October 1962, three brigades set up grain processing factories to serve the villagers. So far, the village's seven water pestles were eliminated. In the near future, six production brigades jointly set up lime factories and brick and tile factories, which not only arranged redundant labor, increased collective accumulation, but also trained a number of management talents. In the 1970s, small-scale processing enterprises such as knitted toys, plastic products, hardware and electrical appliances were set up one after another, and some products were exported to European and American markets. In the 1980s, the rise of household run individual industry, there are leather, knitting, paper and plastic, toys and other factories.

business affairs

In the past, there were more than 20 shops in the old street, which was a rural business center. However, most businessmen are from Huizhou, Shaoxing and other places. During the Anti Japanese War, water and land transportation was destroyed. Daily necessities such as salt, cloth and kerosene in the occupied areas of Hangzhou and Shaoxing, and local products such as white wax, tung oil and porcelain in Western Zhejiang and Eastern Jiangxi were transported by groups of porters to the market of Shenzhen and Macao. At that time, the villagers went into business one after another, opening more than 10 cloth shops, salt shops, rice shops and oil shops, and increasing all kinds of shops to more than 40. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, traffic resumed, and more than 10 shops moved to other places. In 1951, the township supply and marketing cooperatives opened in the village. In 1956, there were five stores which were jointly operated by the public and the private, and seven stores participated in the cooperation. After 1958, the public-private joint venture stores were merged into the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the cooperative stores were also led by the supply and marketing cooperatives. Some of them extended to other villages for business, while the number of village stores was reduced to seven, and the main business was undertaken by the supply and marketing cooperatives. Since 1983, the number of individual businesses has gradually increased. By 1992, in addition to the supply and marketing cooperatives with a complete range of businesses, there were 24 non-staple food shops, 4 cloth shops, 7 miscellaneous shops, 10 clothing shops, 6 repair shops, 4 hotels and 6 snack bars.
