In the wheat field of Fangguan Town, Li Keqiang talked with grain farmers, harvesters from other provinces and grain merchants. Everyone reported that this year’s wheat harvest was good and the grain was full, and Li Keqiang was very happy. He said that it is now a "bumper harvest in the field", and it is necessary to pay close attention to harvesting the "bumper harvest in hand" and do a good job in storing and storing the "bumper harvest in storage". Wheat is one of the main rations in Chinese, and the place where we are standing now is basically the last harvest stop in the main wheat producing areas of Huang-Huai-Hai. Overall, the national wheat production this year is higher than last year, and the harvest is a foregone conclusion. This reassured people and laid the foundation for stable grain production throughout the year. China’s grain supply is abundant, which is very important for stabilizing prices. To keep the economy running in a reasonable range, two important indicators are stable employment and stable prices, and food and energy are the basic supports for stabilizing prices. In recent years, we have been implementing a prudent monetary policy, and there is no excess currency. At present, the main indicators of monetary policy are in the normal range. It is very important to prevent inflation and leave room for flexible implementation of monetary policy in response to new challenges. This year’s bumper wheat harvest has guaranteed China’s own demand and the stability of China’s grain market, and to a certain extent, it has also contributed to the stability of the global grain market. Seeing farmers sowing corn by machine, Li Keqiang carefully examined the soil moisture. He said that if summer is late for one day and autumn is late for ten days, it is necessary to implement the summer sowing area, so as to ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grain and add weight to the national food security.

Li Keqiang came to Dapu Village, inspected the dried wheat, sat around and talked with the villagers, and worked out the cost and income of growing grain together. Everyone reported that the price of agricultural materials has increased this year, but the state has increased subsidies many times, and the market food price has also increased. Calculated income is higher than in previous years. Li Keqiang said, food is the most important thing for the people, and food stabilizes the world. Your growing grain has increased your income and guaranteed more people three meals a day. Let’s work together to secure more than 1.4 billion jobs in Chinese.

Li Keqiang listened to the report on energy supply in Hebei Province. In Zhuozhou Jingyuan Thermal Power Company, he learned in detail about the number of generating hours, coal consumption level and the implementation of the bail-out policy, inspected the coal yard, and encouraged enterprises to make full efforts and generate more electricity. Li Keqiang said that development is the basis and key to solve all problems in China. Now is the key period to meet the peak summer. It is necessary to release the advanced coal production capacity and fully exploit it, implement the long-term coal supply, further strengthen the power supply, resolutely prevent power cuts, and ensure economic operation and basic people’s livelihood. It is necessary to increase the efficient and clean coal-fired power production capacity in an orderly manner through expansion and transformation, and accelerate the construction of pumped storage projects, which not only increases the power supply capacity, but also provides support for the development of new energy sources such as wind, light and electricity, and improves the consumption capacity. He emphasized that China is a contributor and beneficiary of world trade, and the stability of the international energy market is beneficial to all countries. Making good use of China’s coal-based energy resource endowment is not only conducive to enhancing its own energy security capacity, but also conducive to world energy prices and the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain.

Li Keqiang fully affirmed the achievements of Hebei’s economic and social development, and hoped that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, he would work hard and innovate, push economic development to a new level and continuously improve people’s livelihood and well-being.
