The township has designated 5 star-upgrading villages, including 2 upgrading from one star to two stars (Xiliangwan, Qijiayuan) and 3 upgrading from two stars to three stars (Baishi, Weijiapu, Diqu). For the 2 one-star villages of Xiliangwan and Qijiayuan as key advancement villages, gaps are identified against actual conditions, score-increasing plans are formulated, and score-increasing measures are implemented to ensure the score-increasing goals are achieved by the end of the year and to strive with full effort to become two-star villages. At the same time, infrastructure construction has been intensified, and professional designers were invited to revise and improve the new socialist countryside construction plans for Dongpo and Miaopo villages. The Dongpo Village street area construction project with an investment of 2.33 million yuan is currently laying sewage pipes and hardening street surfaces. The Gaojiahe 38-household relocation project with an investment of 2.7 million yuan and the Dongpo and Miaopo 65-household post-disaster reconstruction with an investment of 4.6 million yuan are about to be completed, and 63 spots of "three piles" have been cleared.
Taking household-level measures as the starting point to make every effort to promote farmer income growth. With Dongpo, Miaopo, and Baishi three villages as demonstrations, on the basis of in-depth investigation and comparative accounting, the population, cultivated land, labor force, income status, and income growth potential of each household have been ascertained household by household, farmer household types have been classified, and the actual situation of farmer income growth has been grasped. Based on different types, income growth paths have been scientifically selected, adhering to the principle of "tailoring measures to households, classified guidance, household-level measures, supporting services," helping farmer households formulate this year's income growth projects, income goals, and income growth measures, establishing detailed farmer household income growth cards, and posting them in prominent positions in homes, so that farmer households understand the goals, projects, measures, and direction of income growth, achieving "one household, one card, one policy." The township's 2,680 households are divided into five major categories, including 184 entrepreneurial type, 654 labor-service type, 930 planting and breeding type, 308 part-time type, and 604 poverty-stricken type.
