"It’s so beautiful here. It’s picturesque and tree-lined, and the Gobi Pearl is even more dazzling." In midsummer, tourist Zhang Haiying stood in the landmark building of Shihezi City, the eighth division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps — — In front of the Army Reclamation Museum of Xinjiang Corps, it was deeply attracted by the beautiful city in front of it. Generations of bingtuan people took root in this hot land, created the miracle of transforming wasteland into homeland, and wrote a magnificent chapter of new China’s reclamation and frontier defense.
In the past ten years, the sons and daughters of the Corps have accelerated the reform, deepened the integration of the military and the land, created a harmonious rural-urban home, and given full play to the functions and functions of the Corps as a stabilizer for securing the border and consolidating the border, a melting pot for rallying people of all ethnic groups, and a demonstration zone for developing advanced productive forces and advanced culture, striving to form new advantages in maintaining stability and guarding the border in the new era.

1. Agricultural production polishes business cards
In the hot summer, 12.35 million mu of cotton from the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has entered the critical flowering and bolling period, and the cotton peaches have exposed sharp corners.
Xie Yong, a technician, took a closer look at the growth of cotton in the 143 rd regiment of the eighth division of the Corps. "This is a new variety Xinluzao No.84 planted this year. It is not tall. The number of seedlings per mu is 14,000, which is nearly 1,000 more than last year. The buds and bolls in cotton fields are all 10 days earlier than last year, and the yield per mu is expected to exceed 500 kg."
Since 1980s, cotton has become the dominant industry of XPCC. The Corps gave full play to the advantages of high mechanization, large-scale production and good industrial operation conditions, and pioneered the cotton "dense short early" mechanical harvesting mode, drip irrigation under plastic film, water and fertilizer integration technology and precision on-demand technology on plastic film, which promoted the continuous improvement of cotton yield.
In 2021, the lint yield of the Corps reached 160 kg, ranking first in the country; Among the six quality indexes of cotton, the average length and micronaire are the first in China. Corps has produced more than one-third of the country’s cotton with a quarter of the country’s planting area, making the cry "China cotton sees Xinjiang, Xinjiang cotton sees Corps" even louder.
Not just cotton. As the "national team" in the agricultural field and the demonstration area of advanced productive forces, the Corps has also "led" all the way in accelerating the construction of a modern agricultural system: the comprehensive mechanization rate of tillage, planting and harvesting reached 95.3%, ranking the leading level in the country; A total of 11.63 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built, which has achieved good social and economic benefits; There are 135 key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization at the national level and the Corps level, and two national industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics have been created, and the driving effect has been continuously highlighted.
"We will further give play to the organizational advantages and mobilization ability of the Corps, deepen the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, accelerate the construction of a modern agricultural system, and play a good role in safeguarding national food security ‘ Ballast stone ’ The role. " Chen Qian, deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of the Corps, said.
2. Reform makes development even more powerful.
Under the impact of the epidemic, a hotel catering enterprise rose against the trend and handed over a bright report card. What is the password behind it? Reform.
In 2017, taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform, Bosten Group became the first wholly state-owned hotel catering enterprise in the Second Division of Corps. With Bosten Hotel as the backbone, the enterprise integrates the assets of hotels in Urumqi, Korla, Tiemenguan and other cities to form a group company, keeps up with the change of consumer demand, promotes the transformation of its main business from hotel catering to social catering, and expands 12 canteens and social catering outlets of various units, schools and hospitals, with an average daily catering service of more than 10,000 people. In 2021, the operating income was 103 million yuan, an increase of 58% over the previous year.
In 2020, the Corps launched a three-year campaign to reform state-owned enterprises, which sounded the assembly number for deepening the reform of state-owned state-owned enterprises. In view of the long-standing problems of separating government from enterprises, rigid mechanism, low efficiency and insufficient vitality, we should boldly change and try. In particular, the Corps has integrated high-quality resources to promote the professional reorganization of state-owned capital. Electric Power Group, Sino-Singapore Populus euphratica Fund, Energy Group, Wenlv Group and Sino-Singapore Logistics Group have been established and put into operation, and leading enterprises have driven state-owned state-owned enterprises to "hold their fingers into fists".
Breakthrough progress has been made in the comprehensive reform of the league farm. Since 2017, the Corps has started the comprehensive reform of the league field in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. In the past five years, we have crossed the deep water area and gnawed hard bones, and the system and mechanism of the group farm have been systematically and revolutionized. Up to now, the Corps has authorized 75 township-level powers to the regimental farms, and selected 68 county-level powers to be granted to the regimental farms by divisions and cities according to actual needs, and 149 regimental farms have achieved full coverage of convenience service centers.
At the same time, the Corps issued certificates for workers’ right to contract land, canceled the "five unifications" of agriculture led by the administration, implemented the autonomy of workers’ contracted production and operation, and liberated and developed agricultural productivity. In 2021, the company’s average front-line job income increased by 41,500 yuan, an increase of 99.6%, compared with 2016 before the reform, and the enthusiasm of the workers and staff to participate in, support and support the reform was significantly improved. The number of front-line workers in agriculture and animal husbandry rose steadily, with a net increase of 96,000 after the reform.
Reform is like a tide, and the waves behind push the waves before. In the past, XPCC continued to grow and develop by relying on reform, and entered a new stage of development. XPCC will continue to enhance the systematicness, integrity and synergy of reform, and constantly enhance the dynamic vitality of XPCC’s high-quality development.
3. A new chapter of the military-civilian integration spectrum
Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced that 12 scenic spots have been designated as national 5A-level scenic spots, among which Jiangbulak Scenic Spot in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture is on the list.
This scenic spot is an innovative tourism demonstration scenic spot with the integration of military and land, which is based on Jiangbulake Scenic Spot in Changji Prefecture and Wanquan Scenic Spot in Qitai Farm of Sixth Division. Among them, the core area of Jiangbulake Scenic Area is 104 square kilometers, and the planned area of Wanquan Scenic Area is 21.5 square kilometers. Both of them were awarded the national 4A-level tourist attractions in 2012 and 2011 respectively. After the integration and development, the two sides complemented each other and greatly increased their strength, and successfully advanced to "5A".
It has become the consensus of the autonomous region and the Corps that a game of chess between soldiers and land is the overall situation and the general trend. In accordance with the requirements of "co-construction of facilities, resource sharing, deep embedding and complementary advantages", the military and the local governments have comprehensively promoted the integrated development of economic, social, cultural and ecological civilization construction, national unity and progress, and cadres and talents.
Manas County and Shihezi City are 15 kilometers apart, and the two places are interconnected in transportation, education and medical care, sharing the fruits of integrated development. In October 2020, Shima Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the two cities were connected in a straight line, which continued to promote the integration and development of industries such as health care, tourism, culture and logistics. Shima Bridge really became a convenient bridge to promote urban interconnection and boost the development of industrial connectivity.
Zhundong Corps Industrial Park, Wuchangshi National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, Tianbei New District and other military-land joint construction parks realize complementary advantages and rapid development; The military and local schools "hand in hand" paired up to help, and the Corps School recruited more than 90,000 local students nearby and sent 7,600 people to teach in kindergartens in southern Xinjiang; The joint construction of medical associations, specialist alliances and designated medical institutions by the military and the local government has recognized each other’s results, promoted the open sharing of quality education and medical resources, and enabled workers of all ethnic groups to share the dividends brought about by the integration and development, and their sense of acquisition, happiness and security has been continuously enhanced.
The wind sails all over the river and the sky is wide, and then step on the peak to start a new journey. Standing at a new historical starting point, XPCC has always served the general goal of Xinjiang’s work, unswervingly fulfilled its duty and mission of maintaining stability and guarding the border, persistently promoted the modernization of XPCC with high quality, and continued to write a new chapter in its development in the new journey.
