Historical evolution

Shihu is an ancient place name. It is also known as Dianhu because it is near hudangtian and most of its residents are tenants. It was also an important coastal port for the Yellow River in the Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1743), there was a Dusi yamen stationed here for many years. There was a Dianhu camp, also known as Huying, which was under the jurisdiction of Chengang on the east coast. In addition, the Qianlong court of Qing Dynasty also established "four big Ao" in Shihu, namely "Rulai Temple" in the East, "Qitian Temple" in the west, "Longwang Temple" in the south, and "Daxing Temple" in the north, which made Shihu a busy city with a radius of 100 li. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a Dianhu town. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early days of the people's Republic of China, Dianhu town was full of tile roofed houses. The streets were paved with neat bluestone slabs. There were tall buildings in front of the house, decorated by "Jiangsu Shihu rural normal school" founded by Gu Zhutong, an important person of the Kuomintang, and set off by the "four big problems" around. Shihu town was in its heyday in history, with a population of 20000, commonly known as "little Shanghai" in Northern Jiangsu . In the 23rd year of the people's Republic of China, Shihu township was built, under the jurisdiction of the Sixth District. After the Japanese army occupied Liancheng in the 28th year of the people's Republic of China, the national government of Lianshui County retreated to Shihu. After the liberation of Shihu by the Eighth Route Army in October 29, the people's Republic of China, it was the seat of the Anti Japanese democratic government of Lianshui County. At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, it belonged to Huangying district. In 1957, it was removed and merged into Tangji township. In September 1958, it belonged to Tangji people's commune. The Shihu farm was established in the spring of 1959 and changed to Shihu orchard in July 1965. As Shihu is located at the junction of two cities and four counties with convenient transportation, it is the largest market and trade center within tens of miles. Industrial and agricultural production is developed, and it has been the third largest tax source of Lianshui County for many years. Therefore, in May 1988, the provincial government approved to build a new Shihu town under the jurisdiction of the former Shihu orchard and implement the system of town leading village, making Shihu town the only one in the province including state farms Town. By the end of 1988, the town had a total area of 8.33 square kilometers, with 6 villagers' committees, 29 villagers' groups, 1625 households and 6343 people.

Real estate development

Since March 2008, we have received continuous reports from the local people that the government and businessmen in Shihu town of Lianshui County have jointly occupied a large area of farmland for illegal real estate development, and the phenomenon of private purchase of collective land and farmland for real estate development is relatively common. in the rush of illegal development, buildings have sprung up in the dismembered farmland the reporter saw in the investigation that the whole Shihu town is like a big construction site. There are construction sites in the East, West, North and middle of the town, with large and small scale. Some projects are more than half, and some foundations have just come out of the ground. Most of them have been basically completed, and the people's response is the strongest It is the first scale development project of Wuhu farmer concentrated residential area in the town. according to the relevant personage of Shihu town government, the project is based on the principle of saving and intensive land use, in the name of building a new socialist countryside and improving the living environment of farmers, the town government occupies 30 mu of land originally belonging to the town's collective enterprises and 5 mu of farmland nearby, and contracts it to social personnel for real estate development, with a total construction area of 44000 square meters. These illegal buildings stand in the middle of the farmland, which is really shocking. the reporter saw at the scene on December 28, 2008 that the civil engineering of the project has been basically completed, and the sales work has started in the first half of the year, but the current sales situation is not satisfactory. According to the residents of the town, the main reason for this situation is that many people understand that the so-called developers of the project are just a few social idle people who have no qualification for construction and development at all. Not only that, they also subcontract the project wantonly. The team of thatched terrace construction from all over the country fight against each other, and even let them build and develop the project on their own Sales, simply did not consider spending money to ask a special construction supervision company or supervision personnel for unified construction quality control. in such an extremely chaotic construction scene, the sub contract foremen, in order to obtain greater profits, have tried their best to reduce costs and even cut corners. According to people familiar with the matter, on the construction site of the so-called Wuhu farmers' concentrated residential area project, there are many phenomena, such as steel changing to non-standard small size, concrete randomly reducing the cement ratio, and the construction quality can be imagined. disordered management, a mess of construction sites in addition, most of the buyers also worry that the project has not been approved by the local county land and planning departments, and even the most basic reporting procedures have never been done, so it will be difficult for them in the future
