Before the founding of New China, the production level was low due to the long-term constraints of feudal production relations. Farmers were mainly engaged in single grain production. By 1949, the county's total grain output was only 32,200 tons, with an output of 135 kilograms per mu. , 297 kilograms per capita. In addition to paying rent, the actual food ration per person is only about 150 kilograms. In addition, some cash crops such as peanuts and vegetables are grown, and livestock and poultry such as pigs, cattle, rabbits, chickens, and ducks are raised. The per capita output value is 117.72 yuan, but due to the purchase of grain and the payment of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, most of the people are poor.
After the founding of New China, through land reform, mutual aid and cooperation and other movements, the enthusiasm of farmers for production was mobilized, and agricultural production developed rapidly. By 1956, when the county became cooperative, the total grain output reached 45,200 tons, the yield per mu reached 166 kilograms, and the per capita share was 320 kilograms. Compared with 1949, the total output increased by 13,400 tons, the yield per mu increased by 31 kilograms, and the per capita share increased by 23 kilograms.
From 1959 to 1961, due to the serious proliferation of "Left" errors such as high targets, blind command, and exaggeration, the enthusiasm of the peasant masses was dampened. Coupled with natural disasters, the grain harvest failed for three consecutive years. Compared with 1956, the total output in 1961 decreased by 11,000 tons, the yield per mu decreased by 33 kilograms, and the per capita grain possession decreased by 111 kilograms. In September 1961, the "Draft Amendment to the Regulations on the Work of Rural People's Communes" passed by the 10th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was implemented to correct "leftist" mistakes. After three years of national economic adjustment, the total grain output returned to 47,600 tons by 1965. , the yield per mu rose to 178 kilograms, both exceeding the 1956 level.
In the early days of the "Cultural Revolution", party organizations and government departments at all levels were generally attacked, cadres were criticized, institutions were paralyzed, normal production and work order was destroyed, and agricultural production declined again. In 1968, the total grain output dropped to 38,800 tons, back to the 1951 level. After 1972, agricultural institutions were gradually restored, the policy of "taking grain as the key link" was implemented, farmland capital construction was carried out, the farming system was reformed, short-stem varieties were promoted, cultivation techniques were improved, and the supply of pesticides and fertilizers was increased. The output increased year by year. By 1977, the total grain output reached 79,900 tons, with an output of 296 kilograms per mu, an increase of 130 kilograms per mu compared with 1956.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the household contract responsibility system was implemented to increase farmers' production enthusiasm. Grain production and diversified operations were fully developed. In 1983, the total grain output reached 11.09 million tons, exceeding the highest level in history. In the following years, due to constraints from many factors, the total grain output hovered around 100,000 tons. In 1987, the total grain output was 107,000 tons, ranking fifth in the region; the yield per mu was 266 kilograms, ranking fourth in the region; the per capita share was 384 kilograms, ranking fourth in the region; the per capita agricultural output value was 165.79 yuan; per capita grain supply to the country ( The total of four items (grain requisition, grain purchase, price increase, and over-purchase) is 80 kilograms. Compared with 1949, the total grain output increased by 2.32 times, the yield per mu increased by 2.19 times, the per capita grain increased by 30.30%, and the per capita agricultural output value increased by 48.40%. Flue-cured tobacco, tea, fruits, live pigs, and aquatic products also increased significantly.
Modern agriculture in Liancheng County has developed steadily. The development of specialty agriculture such as sweet potatoes, white ducks, flowers, and flue-cured tobacco has been accelerated. From January to October 2013, a total of 44 million yuan was guaranteed for agricultural professional cooperatives and large growers, supported the development of 547 farmers' professional cooperatives and family farms, promoted 44,000 farmers, and promoted the transfer of 108,000 acres of rural land, accounting for 108,000 acres of farmland in the county. Area 45.3%. Achieve full coverage of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” comprehensive insurance in 17 towns and towns. With the implementation of the "Flowers and Seedlings Ruralization (Village) Promotion" project, the county's flower and seedling planting area has reached 28,000 acres, making it a major flower and seedling production county in the province. Liancheng Orchid Co., Ltd. was selected as one of the "Top Ten Flower and Tree Planting Enterprises in the Country". The output value of dried sweet potato processing reached 800 million yuan; 3.243 million Liancheng white ducks were slaughtered, and the Liancheng white duck quality and safety traceability system was completed and put into operation. Fujian Liancheng Farmers' Pioneer Park Liancheng white duck standard breeding and egg processing and characteristic national orchid germplasm resource bank projects have been basically completed. The 10,000-mu modern agricultural demonstration park saw an additional investment of 84 million yuan in 2013. Liancheng County won the Gold Medal for Pavilion Layout and the Best Organization Award at the Fifth Cross-Strait Flower Expo. Liancheng Orchid and Moso Bamboo won the titles of "King of Flowers" and "King of Bamboo" in the city respectively; Liancheng was rated as "National Safe Agricultural Machinery Demonstration County"; Hexiang was recognized as a "provincial leisure agriculture demonstration town". Before the Qing Dynasty, all domestic industries belonged to the handicraft industry, including ceramics, papermaking, mining, smelting, engraving and printing, etc. By the time of the Republic of China, except for a semi-mechanized printing factory and a small power plant with a power generation capacity of 8 kilowatts in the county, the rest were still handicraft industries serving agricultural production and daily life. All modern industrial products are imported from outside. Therefore, the total industrial output value of the county in 1950 was only 761,000 yuan.
Since 1952, the scattered individual handicraft industries have been reorganized to establish handicraft production cooperatives. At the same time, industrial enterprises such as county rosin factory, thermal power plant, printing factory and rice milling factory have been established. By 1957, the entire county The total industrial output value rose to 7.04 million yuan, 9.25 times that of 1950.
During the "Great Leap Forward" in 1958, a number of industrial enterprises were established under the promotion of "Building Steel". However, due to violation of economic laws, when the eight-character policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement" was implemented in 1962, Most industrial and mining enterprises were forced to close down. The total industrial output value of the county that year was 3.1331 million yuan, less than half of that in 1957. In 1963, after the implementation of the general policy of national economic construction based on agriculture and dominated by industry, industrial production rebounded. In 1965, the total industrial output value reached 6.7989 million yuan, 2.1 times that of 1962.
After the start of the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966, production management was in chaos. Most factories were suspended or semi-suspended, and industrial production stagnated. By 1969, the county's total industrial output value was only 8.342 million yuan. , accounting for 25.22% of the total industrial and agricultural output value of 40.41 million yuan. In 1975, industrial enterprises were rectified, management systems were improved, and production gradually recovered. Industrial and mining enterprises such as iron plants, paper mills, ammonia plants, hydropower stations, bentonite mines, cement plants, and Beituan Coal Mines were established.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in December 1978, industry entered a new stage of development. In 1979, the total industrial output value reached 37.38 million yuan, accounting for 38.68% of the total industrial and agricultural output value of 96.66 million yuan, an increase of nearly 4.5 times compared with 1969. In 1984, after implementing the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on economic structural reform, automobile repair and maintenance plants, breweries, plastic color printing plants, etc. were successively opened. During the reform, various enterprises introduced new technologies and equipment to expand production capacity, increase varieties, and improve product quality. By 1987, the county's total industrial output value was 123.03 million yuan, accounting for 61.32% of the total industrial and agricultural output value of 200.64 million yuan, which was higher than that in 1979. The annual growth rate is 3.29 times. There are 7,260 employees in industrial enterprises in the county (including provincial and local industrial enterprises and collective industries within the county), including 880 cadres, 284 engineering and technical personnel, and 6,096 workers (including apprentices, service personnel, and temporary workers). *** There are 28 industrial enterprises owned by the whole people, 127 industrial enterprises owned by collectives, and 111 industrial enterprises in townships (including villages).
