Hejiayao Township Mayor's Office.

On the sofa sat Chu Tianqi and Qiao Jinbao, and they were the only ones in the room.

The two have been chatting for more than half an hour, and during this time, Qiao Jinbao has talked about the positive changes brought to the county and township after the agricultural tax exemption. The whole thing is a hymn of praise, with no actual content.

After the other party stopped Haikan, Chu Tianqi said: "The exemption of agricultural taxes and the issuance of farming subsidies are indeed good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and have been appreciated and supported by the people of the whole country. So are there any loopholes or inconsiderate areas in the implementation process?"

"How can there be inadequacies and loopholes in the central government's policies?" Qiao Jinbao looked very serious. After a pause, he added, "Of course, the same policy will have different effects when implemented in different regions." In this respect, there are great differences between the north and the south, between the developed and backward areas, and between the peasant groups and the government. Anping County is located in the north, the economy is very underdeveloped, so this policy of benefiting the country and the people has brought great positive changes to farmers, rural areas and agriculture, but also brought certain troubles to the county's economy.

Due to the mountainous and mountainous nature of Anping County, the strategic location is important, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. The many wars from ancient times to the present day have also made the people here miserable, and the agricultural economy has not been effectively developed at all, and the poor people have always been hungry. After liberation, under the care of the party and the government, the people's living standards have been greatly improved, and agriculture has also developed appropriately. However, this development is limited, after all, geographical location, soil, climate and other conditions limit the development of agricultural economy.

Anping County is located in the old area, with mountains and hills, and agricultural land is very scarce, but the traffic here is blocked, resources are scarce, and the development of industry and tertiary industry is also very slow. This has created a phenomenon that compared with the weakness of other regions - agriculture, but it still needs to play the leading role in Anping County, which is purely a general. In the external publicity, Anping County appeared as an agricultural county.

Since agriculture is a slight strength among the weak points, the income from agricultural taxes and fees has become the main source of the county's fiscal revenue. Five years ago, agricultural taxes accounted for 65 percent of the county's revenue. Since I came here, some tertiary industries have been developed, and the proportion of agricultural taxes has dropped to more than 40 percent, but it is still the absolute main source of county fiscal revenue. Of course, the contribution rate of agricultural tax revenue to the fiscal affairs of the townships and towns in the county is also different, and more than half of the fiscal revenue of most townships and towns comes from agricultural taxes, and in some places it even reaches more than 70 percent, and only a few localities account for about 30 percent.

Although the proportion of agricultural tax in the township finance is different, it is definitely the backbone of the county's finance and the township's finance. However, with the reduction or exemption of agricultural taxes, these revenues were instantly reduced to zero, and the county and township fiscal revenues were immediately cut by more than half. There is no money in the finances, and many things cannot be done, which forms a vicious circle, and it is difficult to work in the county. ”

The content of what the other party said was indeed a portrayal of a considerable part of the region's fiscal revenue, but there seemed to be something wrong, so Chu Tianqi said: "County Magistrate Qiao, is the ratio you just said a recent situation?"

Qiao Jinbao nodded: "Yes, that's the situation last year." Correspondingly, in this year's fiscal revenue, this part of the income is already less than 5 percent, which is still the result of the support of individual concentrated agricultural projects in the county, otherwise this part of the income will have to be zero. ”

"That is to say, the county's fiscal revenue will have to be reduced by at least more than 30% this year. Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi changed the topic, "I remember that before the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes, the state had gradually reduced or reduced taxes for five consecutive years, in order to give the county and township economies a buffer period for adjustment. In the process, many localities have changed the form of economic structure, the tax structure has also changed, and the impact of agricultural tax reduction and exemption on fiscal revenue has been very small. ”

"Mayor Chu, I also know about the situation you said. To be honest, I'm skeptical of the reports in some places. For so many years, let's just say that after liberation, agricultural taxation has always been the pillar tax source of agricultural counties, which has lasted for more than half a century, so how can there be such a big change in five years? Speaking of this, Qiao Jinbao patted his chest, "I, Qiao Jinbao, disdain to do this, doing some practical work for the people is fundamental." ”

Regarding Qiao Jinbao's statement, Chu Tianqi agreed with some parts and some did not dare to agree, but the other party's last sentence, Chu Tianqi felt that what he said was very untrue. When the other party stopped talking, Chu Tianqi took the opportunity to say: "County Magistrate Qiao, you are right, it is very important to do practical things for the people. If we want to serve the people well, we need to vigorously develop the economy and adjust the economic structure. What did the county do in this regard? During the five-year buffer period, how did the county lay out the industrial layout after the agricultural tax reduction, and what results did it achieve?"

Qiao Jin BMW said: "Since the news of the tax reduction was released by the superiors, Anping County has attached great importance to it, and I have just been adjusted to the magistrate of Anping County at that time. So I led a group of government personnel to hold various special meetings and scheduling meetings, the purpose of which was to find more ways to make money for the county. The hard work paid off, and everyone still came up with a lot of methods, and a considerable number of them are still feasible. So after the approval of the county party committee, many plans began to be implemented, and people were full of enthusiasm.

Hey, but the sky is unpredictable. Just when these plans were in full swing, there was a case in the county, and the secretary of the county party committee was dismissed because of economic problems. Two operators of the programme were implicated in the case, and the programme had to be temporarily suspended. As soon as this happened, various chain reactions followed. First of all, other investors are panicked, their investment actions have been blocked, and some have even ceased production; second, there have been many discussions among the people, singing about the decline of the county's economy, and some people have even put up big-character posters to amplify and criticize them. As a result, half of the programs were aborted, and industries that had been in operation for two or three years had to stop production, leaving behind a lot of messes. The emergence of these messes has diluted the profit value generated by other projects. This is the result of the hard work of the government, otherwise it would have been even worse. ”

The other party said for a long time, which means that he didn't say anything, which is equivalent to returning to the original point, and also threw out a culprit - the former former secretary of the county party committee. Chu Tianqi pondered slightly, and changed the topic: "County Magistrate Qiao, in the process of distributing agricultural subsidies, have there been any problems, such as land disputes, land abandonment, others fraudulently claiming, and so on. ”

Qiao Jinbao nodded: "Yes, there are a small number of problems. Since the subsidy was to be issued, the county's villages have set off a geothermal problem, because of the inaccurate land area, the ambiguity of boundary pillars, unclear ownership and other matters, some problems and disputes have arisen. However, for this phenomenon, the county has long predicted and has relevant plans, and has carried out special training for some functional departments and personnel in advance. As a result, some contradictions were eliminated in advance, and most of the new contradictions were resolved in the embryonic stage, and a small number of contradictions took a little more pains. On the whole, the issue of land dispute has been resolved and transitioned in a balanced manner.

As for the phenomenon of land abandonment, there is basically non-existent, and occasionally there are individual plots, which are also 'small plots' that the villagers used to mine privately. These 'small plots' are all sloping grain land, the soil conditions are extremely poor, the yield is very low, there are many inconveniences in harvesting, and they are not within the scope of cultivated land subsidies. The distribution of cultivated land subsidies strictly implements the principle of 'who has the right to land, who benefits, and who signs', and does not allow substitution of receipt, and resolutely puts an end to the phenomenon of fraudulent claims. In order to investigate and deal with the problems that may arise in the process of land abandonment and subsidy distribution, the county town has set up a special supervision team. The supervision team is mainly composed of land, finance, supervision, auditing and other departments, and more than 10 departments have sent personnel to cooperate in carrying out county-wide inspections, and will never give these phenomena a chance to take advantage of. ”

Hearing the other party say this, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sneer secretly, and couldn't help but rejoice, glad that he didn't pass through the county first. Otherwise, when the county magistrate says this, he will form a preconceived impression, and then convey it to the relevant townships and towns, and have a special person to "accompany him", and he will not see the real situation at all. It has taken a lot of twists and turns to deal with a Hou Xifa, if there is a "professor of fire prevention and theft prevention" in the county, then it will be even more difficult for him to deal with it, I am afraid that he should go back before he understands a little fur.

Seeing that Chu Tianqi didn't speak, but was in a daze, Qiao Jinbao hurriedly asked: "Mayor Chu, is there anything wrong? If there is something unclear or inappropriate for me to say, just bring it up, I am the best at accepting other people's opinions." What's more, Mayor Chu is lofty, experienced, and knowledgeable, and your views are more valuable, and I will take them more seriously. ”

Originally, he was a little distracted just now, but after being questioned by the other party, he pulled it back, but Chu Tianqi couldn't tell the other party the truth, so he had an idea and said, "I was wondering who told the secret and reported my whereabouts to the county magistrate." ”

Qiao Jinbao let out an "oh" and laughed "haha": "This matter is kept secret." Then the topic changed, "Mayor Chu is now working in the 'Little State Council', please also support more projects in Anping County, and the elders of the county will remember your great kindness." ”

Chu Tianqi also smiled: "I am just a researcher with no duties and no powers, and I can't help if I want to." ”

……

After chatting with Qiao Jinbao for nearly an hour, people were sent to "report" one after another, but without exception, it was all empty talk. When asked about the exemption of agricultural taxes and the issuance of subsidies, these people always report good news and not bad news, and even if they clearly point out the problem, they always talk about other things and are vague.

Now the person sitting on the opposite side seems to be unsightly, but he talks endlessly, of course, all nonsense.

Looking at this person's face and thinking about the many reports just now, Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: A group of crooked-mouthed monks, the good scriptures have been recited crookedly.
