In the early years of the Republic of China, agriculture, handicrafts and commerce in the county developed greatly. Agricultural products are mainly rice, cassava, sugarcane, peanuts, red tobacco, pigs, poultry and pond fish. Besides farming, farmers are also engaged in mining and logging. There are small workshops in the county town, such as dyeing cloth, thread incense, gold and silver jewelry, cake food, car clothes and so on. There are cassava starch, sucrose, tobacco, making seats and so on. Export products include rice, rice, soil sugar, dried litchi and tobacco leaves. In 6 ~ 7 years of the Republic of China, when Li Yaohan, a native of Xinxing County, was the governor of Guangdong Province, businessmen from all over the country gathered in counties and parks and opened cigarette shops, money houses and grocery stores all over the country. The growing prosperity of commerce has promoted the development of agricultural production and foreign trade. 2 1 ~ 23 years (1932 ~ 1934), the agricultural products exported by the county every year are: 330,000 stones of rice (each stone is equal to 54 kilograms of the current output), accounting for one third of the county's output; Live pigs10.5 million; 25,000 kilograms of dried litchi, accounting for 50% of the county's annual output; 90,000 kilograms of soil sugar, accounting for 60% of the county's annual output; There are 280,000 kilograms of tobacco leaves, accounting for 70% of the county's annual output. The quality of exported rice is especially good with "Xinxing Youzhan" and "Xinxing Bai". The products are sold to Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Hong Kong, Macao and famous counties, and included in Panyu County Chronicles.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), Guangzhou fell, the navigation of the Xijiang Antelope Gorge was banned, and roads in various places were destroyed. It has become a new trade channel among Foshan, Guangzhou, Xinhui, Taishan, Kaiping and Enping, and its commercial operation has flourished for a while. However, during the eight years from 27 to 34, the territory was bombed by Japanese planes in 9 batches ***63 sorties; In September, 33, the Japanese army invaded the county from South Road and East Road, causing great losses to the county economy and people's lives and property. In 32 years of the Republic of China, the total rice output in the county decreased by 9.7% compared with 24 years of the Republic of China. After the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the 467th Regiment and 468th Regiment of the Kuomintang Army156th Division repeatedly carried out "encirclement and suppression" and "mopping up" activities against the emerging people's armed forces in the county town, which severely damaged industrial and agricultural production, resulting in "the poor can't eat, and the rich can't live". By 38 years of the Republic of China, there were only 37 small private industrial enterprises and 522 merchants in the county. Market prices skyrocket, and market circulation depends on "barter", or major firms issue valley tickets instead of currency. The population of the county is 220,339, only 89 19 more than that in the eight years of the Republic of China 30 years ago. The average natural population growth rate is only 1‰. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the county has carried out large-scale economic construction. Although it has gone through a tortuous course, it has still made great achievements. Especially after 1978, with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, the speed and efficiency of the national economy have made new breakthroughs and new developments. In terms of agriculture, it has formed an economic structure and industrial layout of "grain as the mainstay, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and sideline production in an all-round way", and has become a famous commodity production base of grain, pond fish, pigs, poultry and fruits in Zhaoqing, and agriculture has gradually developed from a natural economy to a commodity economy. In terms of industry, five industries, such as electric power, food, building materials, hardware machinery and garment processing, have initially formed, and the industry has changed from production-oriented and inward-oriented to production-oriented and export-oriented. The tertiary industry such as commerce, service industry and tourism has become an important part of the national economy. The people's economic life and cultural life have improved significantly. Handicraft production in this county began in the Tang Dynasty, but it developed slowly and its infrastructure was weak. By 1949, there were 37 private small-scale industries and 480 craftsmen in the county, accounting for only 8.6% of the county's total industrial and agricultural output value.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the county people's government attached importance to the development of industry. 1949 to 1985, the county's industrial fixed assets investment is 56.347 million yuan, accounting for 6 1.96% of the county's total fixed assets investment. 1985 There were 4 state-owned industrial enterprises, 4 collective industries and 4 individual enterprises, and 742 individual industries engaged in industry and agriculture below the village level. The original value of all fixed assets is 51623,000 yuan, and the net value is 42.34 million yuan. There are 2,875 sets of main industrial equipment, of which 65 are installed hydropower. There are 58,000 tons of cement, 6.5438+0.93 million pieces of daily-use ceramics, 2 million pieces of clothing, 52,000 tons of rice milling, 78,000 tons of sugar and 6.5438+0.4 million pieces of furniture, initially forming five major industries: electric power, food, garment processing, building materials and hardware machinery. In that year, the total industrial output value of the county was 63 107400 yuan, which was 26.89 times higher than the comparable price ratio of 1949. In the 37 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the industrial output value increased by 9.4% annually, and the total profit and tax paid to the county local finance was 59.284 million yuan, accounting for 365.438+0.09% of the county local finance total income and 65.438+005.2% of the industrial fixed assets investment in the same period. Industrial enterprises occupy an important position in the county national economy and play an increasingly important role. The annual industrial output value accounts for 7.7% of the county's total industrial and agricultural output value, 1952 accounts for 27.8%, and 1965 accounts for 42.9%. However, after 1978, the development speed of state-owned industries is lower than that of collective and individual industries and agriculture. 1985, the proportion of the county's total industrial output value to the county's total industrial and agricultural output value decreased from 42.9% in 1978 to 28.4%, a decrease of more than 14 percentage point. Some state-owned industrial enterprises have low equipment utilization rate, insufficient raw materials and low quality of employees, which has affected the economic benefits of enterprises. In that year, the profit and tax rate of state-owned industrial enterprises in the county was 12.68%, which was lower than 1980/4.31%. The cost-benefit tax rate is 13.08%, which is 2.86% lower than 1980. The export rate of output value and sales value is 4.4 1%, which is 5.49% lower than the county average. There is still great potential to fully develop the county's industries, improve quality of enterprise, and enhance product competitiveness and economic benefits. Industrial production and management are facing many new topics, which need further exploration, research, development and development.

Rice is planted all over the county, mainly in Chegang, Dongkou, Huancheng, Dongcheng, Rencun, Shuitai, Shangsha, Integration and Paradise.
In the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), the rice planting area in the county was 382,400 mu, with an average yield of 1 14.77 kg and a total output of 43,885,400 kg. In 32 years of the Republic of China, the sown area of rice was 376,600 mu, the total output was 39.209 million Jin, and the average yield per mu was 1.004. 1 Jin.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, from 1950 to 1957, the annual and total output of rice in the county increased for eight consecutive years.
1958 later, the cadres of counties, communities and teams carried out the so-called "10,000 Jin high-yield experiment" at different levels, and implemented the "grain satellite", which moved some seedlings planted for more than a month and planted them densely, and some of them reached more than one million seedlings per mu, resulting in most of the "high-yield experimental fields" or "contiguous high-yield fields" rotting, reducing production or extinction. In that year, the paid-in area of rice in the county was 597,900 mu, a decrease of 56,500 mu compared with 1957, and the total output decreased by 8.35% compared with 1957.
During the period of 1959 ~ 1962, due to the living difficulties of farmers, rice production decreased for four consecutive years, and the annual total output decreased by 6.44%, 10.72%, 8.06% and 1.45% respectively.
1964 comprehensively changed the "high-stalk variety" of rice into "short-stalk improved variety", changed rough tillage into intensive tillage, planted green manure in winter on a large scale, and popularized the high-yield experience of cultivating strong seedlings, rational fertilization and timely open air drying in Chaoshan area. The average yield per mu of rice was 183.5 kg, and the total output exceeded 1 100 million kg for the first time.
From 1970 to 1977, under the guidance of the idea of "taking grain as the key link", the development of cash crops in various places was restricted, and the rice planting area in the whole year was over 600,000 mu, of which the rice planting area in 197 1 year was 632,800 mu, accounting for 98.5% of the total paddy field area in the county.
After 1978, with the goal of increasing rice yield per unit area and total output, the rice production area will be reduced in a planned way to realize the all-round development of rice production and various economies. Compared with the total rice planting area 1979 ~ 1985, the total rice planting area in the county decreased by 1 1.97%, but the total rice output increased by 4.24%.
