After the car drove past the entrance of the village, the man wearing sunglasses who was in charge of taking pictures in the car took out his mobile phone and made a call, saying: "Report to the boss, Li Tianyi has now arrived in Dongtu County and is now conducting research in Tangjia Village, Fenghuang Town." ”

A very calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I know, continue to keep an eye on Li Tianyi for me and pay attention to his every move." ”

After the car drove through the village entrance, it stopped 300 meters away from the village entrance, and the man wearing sunglasses took out a high-powered telescope and continued to observe Li Tianyi's every move.

After listening to the old man's question, Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Old man, I am indeed a foreigner, and I came here this time to go to the countryside to collect style." ”

After the old man took two puffs of his cigarette, he suddenly laughed and said: "Mayor Li, you are joking with me, an old man, how can you, the dignified mayor, have time to come down to collect the wind? I have heard that you, Mayor Li, took a man and a car to conduct research and visit in the entire Jiangcheng City, one township after another.

However, Mayor Li, there is one thing I don't understand, since you have visited so many places, it stands to reason that you should have a relatively clear understanding of the poverty alleviation work in many towns and villages, in that case, why do you continue to visit?

Why don't we take action as soon as possible to rectify the poverty alleviation work in the entire Jiangcheng City?"

After hearing the old man's words, Li Tianyi's face showed a look of shock and dismay, he didn't expect that in such a small village, an old man he met randomly would be able to recognize his identity, and the words he said were quite weighty, and he seemed to know something about officialdom, so who was the other party?

Li Tianyi's heart was full of doubts about this old man, but in the face of the old man's doubts, Li Tianyi still made an explanation and said: "Old man, I am indeed Li Tianyi, the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City, and I came to you this time to learn about the poverty alleviation situation in your Tangjia Village."

As for why I have not taken any action, the reason is very simple, I think it is not yet time to take action, because through the previous visit and research, I have seen many problems in the poverty alleviation work, what I want to do now is to find out the specific problems of each township in our Jiangcheng City as soon as possible, so that when the targeted poverty alleviation work is carried out in the future, when formulating policies, it can be targeted, so as to ensure that the targeted poverty alleviation work will no longer take detours, and can be done in a solid step. ”

After listening to Li Tianyi's explanation, the old man nodded lightly, with a relieved look on his face, and said, "Mayor Li, it seems that I have misunderstood you." Compared with cleaning up those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how to let the people get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, and how to formulate more reasonable policies and measures for targeted poverty alleviation are the top priorities of you, the deputy mayor, and your choice is very correct. ”

Speaking of this, the old man pointed to Tangjia Village with his hand and said, "Mayor Li, have you seen it, how do you feel about this Tangjia Village?"

Li Tianyi pondered for a moment and said: "I feel that Tangjia Village is the most typical village in the land of Ludong, judging from the street appearance and hardware facilities such as houses in the village, most of the people in Tangjia Village should have embarked on the road of being well-off." I see a lot of people who have cars at home. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, the old man nodded lightly and said, "You observed very carefully. Indeed, he is worthy of being the youngest deputy mayor of Qilu Province. ”

Li Tianyi was not deceived by the old man's praise, but stared at the old man and said, "Old man, you seem to have something to say, please advise." ”

The old man stared at Li Tianyi and nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Li Tianyi, there is indeed nothing wrong with what you just said, it is true that most of the families in our Tangjia Village have embarked on the road of being well-off, but it is true that there are more than a dozen families who have not escaped from poverty, they belong to poor households, and they have been receiving the subsidy fund for poor households.

But you know what, even though these people receive the Poverty Alleviation Fund every month, do you know how much money they receive each month?"

Li Tianyi said: "It should be 800 yuan, and the poverty alleviation funds are all allocated by the city to the bank accounts of these poor households, so there should be no problems in this link." ”

The old man sneered and said, "Mayor Li, it seems that you have personally come down to conduct field research and visits, and this move is considered to be the right one, do you know that these poor households in our Tangjia Village only receive 280 yuan of money every month." ”

Li Tianyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said: "Old man, you won't be joking with me, right? No matter how bold the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office is, it is impossible for it to do anything about the issue of fund allocation, right?"

The old gentleman shook his head and said: "Li Tianyi, you guessed right, the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office did not do anything about the issue of fund allocation, and the money received on the bank cards of those poor households in our Tangjia Village was indeed 800 yuan, but in fact, this money was only 280 yuan that they could really fall." ”

Li Tianyi couldn't help frowning and said, "Old man, what's going on?"

The old gentleman smiled bitterly and said, "Li Tianyi, do you know what it means to pluck the feathers of a wild goose? The villagers of our Tangjia Village, especially those poor households, have experienced the most typical plucking of geese.

Although the state to the province and then to the city have been explicitly prohibiting the plucking of geese, there are policies and countermeasures, although the money is directly transferred to the bank accounts of these poor households, but if they want to be able to ensure that they can get the money every month in the future, then they must return the remaining money to the relevant departments and personnel through various means.

As for the specific details, don't ask me, I don't know, but there is one thing, there is no problem with the amount of money that those people in our Tangjia Village get.

Wait a minute, I'll call you a few poor households to come over, and you can just ask. ”

After speaking, the old man took out his mobile phone and made several calls one after another.

After more than ten minutes, five people came to Li Tianyi with relevant documents and materials in their hands, and handed the materials in their hands to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi took it and looked at it a few times, then handed them the materials and asked, "I just heard this old gentleman say that the poverty alleviation funds you actually got are only 280 yuan, why is this happening?"

A fat woman in her 40s heard Li Tianyi ask, and immediately said full of anger: "Aren't we still the insatiable greed of those officials, if we want to get this money, we must hand over the remaining 520 yuan to the village within three days after getting the money every month, only in this way, the village will ensure that we can continue to get the quota of poor households in the next year, otherwise, we will not be rated as poor households next year."

These officials are too greedy, 800 yuan, in the end only gave us 280 yuan, they directly took 2/3, this is a business without capital, this is the benefit of power. ”

Li Tianyi asked: "Why did you say that this money was taken away by the officials? Didn't you just say that you handed over all this money to the village?"

The woman said: "We did give this money to the village, but I have relatives who are village leaders, and I have heard that everyone in the village can only leave 100 yuan on their bodies, and the remaining 420 yuan will be handed over to the town, and it is said that the town will also give part to the county, and then the county will hand over the city part, and it is because of the layers of exploitation by these people that the money in our hands is only 280 yuan."

In today's society, there are no officials and no greed. ”

Li Tianyi listened to this woman's complaints, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, although she knew that what this woman said was too extreme, but he never expected that in the field that Li Tianyi was in charge of, there would be such a horrific thing of goose plucking.

After Li Tianyi pondered for a moment, he suddenly asked, "How many years have you been rated as a poor household?"

The woman didn't expect Li Tianyi to ask this question, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "I've been a poor household for five years. ”

Li Tianyi asked again: "May I ask if anyone has given you precise help in the past five years?"

The woman nodded and said, "It is true that someone has given me precise help. ”

Li Tianyi frowned and said, "Since someone has implemented precise assistance to you, why haven't you been lifted out of poverty after five years?"

The woman said lightly: "I feel that the current state is very good, there are poverty alleviation funds every month, why do you have to work so hard, even if you work, you may not be able to get out of poverty, anyway, now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, there are national poverty alleviation funds every month, although the money has been taken away by those corrupt officials who killed a thousand knives, but after all, there are still 280 yuan per month, and this money is okay for me to live." ”

After hearing this woman's words, Li Tianyi's heart set off waves.

Although Li Tianyi was in charge of poverty alleviation work for the first time, he had previously served as a county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee, and he knew very well that in the work of poverty alleviation at the grassroots level, there was a small setback that caused the most headache for the poverty alleviation cadres; after these poor households received the state's policy subsidies, they did nothing, did nothing all day long, and put on the appearance of "I am a poor household, who am I afraid of?" The masses have great opinions, and even think that the village is biased and that the work is very difficult to do.

Some town and village cadres said that in the past, the work of helping and supporting only focused on industrial projects and neglected the ideological education of the masses, thus forming a dead cycle in which poverty alleviation is "helping the lazy and raising the lazy," and the more you help them, the lazier they become, and the more they help, the poorer they become, and the unhealthy atmosphere of striving to become poor households has been formed.

How to make the masses who exist, wait, rely on, and think fundamentally change their thinking, and let the question of "I want to get rid of poverty" in the past become "I want to get rid of poverty" is also one of the very arduous problems that we will face in our poverty relief work in the future.

Li Tianyi thought in his heart: Poverty alleviation must first help the will, otherwise it will never be able to help, and spiritual poverty is more terrible than material poverty. Poor households should have a grateful heart, have the will to get rid of poverty, and have a trip to increase income, and to transform the blood transfusion function into a hematopoietic function, and to fundamentally reverse the ideology and enhance the endogenous motivation of poor households. Only in this way can we do a solid job in poverty alleviation.

At this time, the woman looked at Li Tianyi and asked, "You ask us so many questions, do you have a way to help us solve the problem of poverty alleviation funds being deducted?"
