Henan's geographical position is so good, why is its economy backward?

It should be said that economic development is inseparable from politics. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the political center (capital) of China (I don't know if I can call it that) was mostly inseparable from Shaanxi, Henan and Jiangsu provinces. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the capital of China was gradually determined to be in Beijing = Northern Song Dynasty, and China was highly developed in science, technology, politics and economy, with Kaifeng as its capital. It can be said that at this time, Henan, as the vanguard of reform and development and the position of agricultural development center, the economic development of the whole region is ahead of the whole country. During the Northern Song Dynasty, China was highly developed in science, technology, politics and economy, and its capital was Kaifeng. It can be said that at this time, Henan, as the vanguard of reform and development and the position of agricultural development center, the economic development of the whole region is ahead of the whole country. In a sense, the status of Henan has always been very high at all times. 2. The geographical location of Henan Province It is really good to say that the geographical location of Henan is good. Henan is located in the middle and east of China, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, bordering Anhui and Shandong in the east, Hebei and Shanxi in the north, Shaanxi in the west and Hubei in the south. Henan is located in the middle of China, connecting the east and the west. In ancient times, heaven and earth were regarded as the land of China and the pivot of the world. In ancient times, in fact, today, all development did not need water resources. There is a saying that the Yellow River is the birthplace of China culture and Henan is the source of the Yellow River culture. The status of Henan can be seen. This is why Henan is often regarded as the political center of China. As a major agricultural province, Henan's grain output has always been in the forefront. 13 and 14 years, Henan ranked second in the grain ranking of all provinces in China (the first place was Heilongjiang Province). But why is Henan's economy still depressed in people's eyes? Let's just say that. I think it should be the adjustment of industrial structure in China since the reform and development, which has made a great contribution to the development of Henan. There is no doubt that China has always been a big agricultural country. However, the fastest development is not the agricultural economy. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, with the upsurge of working, agriculture in China is facing a severe test. The farming area is decreasing, and the real agricultural practitioners are also decreasing. Why? Because farmers don't make money at all. And the risk is too high. Although food is the foundation of survival, the price of food has not risen much. Although the state is raising the purchase price of grain, reducing agricultural tax and increasing agricultural subsidies. Natural eggs. . . . This problem still exists.
