Rural construction should focus on building for farmers, focusing on sustainability. We must persist in proceeding from reality, subordinating quantity to quality, and progress to effectiveness. Zhu Weidong said.
Strengthen rural reform and innovation.
To promote rural revitalization, we must make good use of the magic weapon of deepening reform.

Under the premise of strictly controlling risks, we should encourage all localities to explore diversified ways such as property leasing, intermediary services, and asset equity participation in accordance with local conditions, so as to promote the healthy development of the new rural collective economy.
Rural reform has entered the deep water area, involving the vital interests of hundreds of millions of farmers, we must adhere to the bottom line of rural reform, encourage local practice and exploration and institutional innovation, strengthen the integration and efficiency of reform measures, and stimulate the vitality of rural revitalization.

Strengthen measures to increase farmers' income.
Ensuring that there is no large-scale return to poverty is the bottom line requirement for promoting comprehensive rural revitalization. How to further strengthen the bottom line and enhance development capabilities?

The document makes it clear that for key areas such as key counties for rural revitalization and relocation and concentrated resettlement areas, it is necessary to further implement tilted support policies such as finance, finance, land, talents, and counterpart assistance, and strive to improve development conditions and enhance development capabilities.
According to the data released at the press conference, the per capita disposable income of rural residents will reach 21,691 yuan in 2023, an actual increase of 76%, and the income ratio of urban and rural residents shrank to 239∶1。
It should also be noted that consolidating the momentum of increasing peasants' incomes is facing many difficulties and challenges.
