Longquan is not poor. On the contrary, Longquan is a relatively good place in Lishui, and people are relatively rich. Residents' income and farmers' income rank second except Lishui City. Gdp is not very high, because the population is small. But Longquan has many specialties, such as sword celadon, dried mushrooms, fungus and bamboo shoots, and a large forest. Farmers rely on edible fungi, bamboo shoots and wood. Many people go out to do business. In the early years, Longquan was the largest county in Zhejiang. Later, Xin 'anjiang Hydropower Station was built. Chun 'an and Sui 'an counties merged into Chun 'an County (the largest county in Zhejiang), and Longquan became the second largest county in Zhejiang. Compared with many places in other provinces, Longquan is still very good. Even in Zhejiang Province, the per capita income is still lower. In the 197s and 198s, Longquan was a very good place in Zhejiang, because there was a lot of wood. In the 198s, farmers in many towns earned more than 1, yuan. When I was a child, I saw many farmers from Xiaoshan and Wenzhou in Hangzhou coming to work in Longquan. Wenzhou people are even more proud to work in Longquan (under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou in the early years). In the 199s, the timber economy failed, and so did the celadon sword. Roads in mountainous areas have become the biggest problem. Longquan was really overtaken by many counties in Zhejiang in the 199s, and now it is connected with high speed, and immediately it is resurrected with blood (the high-speed railway is almost completed, and the general airport is about to start). Generally speaking, although it is a mountainous county, there are Longquan swords and Longquan celadon, and the small places are quite famous. Celebrity visits are endless. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan has been a very special place in Zhejiang. Looking at the whole country, it is quite good for real mountain counties to reach the level of Longquan. Otherwise, the county seat is not big and the population is small, so it is not reasonable to judge a county-level city, but it can be judged as a county-level city in 199. There has long been a good reputation as a good Longquan in ten counties of Chuzhou. Now many talents from the north also work in Longquan. When I came to Longquan as a doctor in my early years, I was given a duplex house. Now I don't know what preferential treatment I have. Being a teacher is also good, and there are more than 1 thousand a year.
Look at the data, and compare the average per capita income of Longquan and Zhejiang, which is still a good job.
