Anping County Hejiayao Township Party and Government Conference Room.

The room was not too big to accommodate fifteen or sixteen people for a meeting, but now that there was only one person sitting inside, it seemed much more empty, and the people were even more lonely.

It was a man of about forty years old, with a parted head, wearing a white half-sleeved shirt, navy blue trousers, and black lace-up leather shoes. This person is none other than Qu Yong, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and head of Hejiayao Township, Anping County.

Qu Yong has been sitting here for a long time, ever since he was "kicked out" of the office. At this time, his brows were slightly furrowed, his expression was solemn, he was so demeanor, not because he was "kicked out", but because he should be grateful for being "driven out" this time, otherwise his office would not be patronized by the ministry personnel. Although a researcher couldn't explain anything to his house, this was the first time that he had walked into his office since he became the head of the township. In the past, people above the deputy county magistrate often went to Xiao Yue'e's house, or occasionally went to the rooms of the deputy secretary and deputy township head, and never came to their own office.

Qu Yong's expression was solemn now, but he was not sure if he would be called, and he didn't know what to say or how to say if he was summoned.

In the past, this kind of meeting alone, basically nothing to do with himself, anyway, he was happy and clean, he did what he should do in the office, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and others thought it was normal. But if he hadn't been summoned this time, he would have been a little more discouraged, after all, he had sponsored the meeting place, although it was not up to him to decide whether to sponsor or not. More than two hours had passed, and it seemed that most of the personnel had already been to their own houses, but why hadn't it been their turn? Could it be a remake of the past?

Although there was no movement now, Qu Yong had a strong premonition that he would be called.

But if he is called, what should he say, what should he say? Now in front of Qu Yong, there are three ways to speak, one is to tell a lot of falsehoods, one is true and false, and the other is to tell the truth.

Often, many people do not want to listen to the truth, because most of the truth is full of thorns and even thorns, and it the ears to listen to, while the false words are full of flowers and fragrant, and they are pleasing to the ears. Therefore, many people regard telling lies as commonplace, and the speaker is relaxed and the listener is comfortable. But Qu Yong was unwilling to do this, so he became an alternative and enjoyed alternative treatment many times.

If he is called for a while, will he continue to be an alternative, or will he be gregarious once? Gregariousness is the safest way, but Qu Yong is unwilling; if he is different, he may still be treated differently, and of course it may be another result. After all, the other party is just a researcher far away in the capital, and it is very likely that there will be no intersection in the future, so is it necessary for him to take risks? After asking himself "Is it necessary?" many times, Qu Yong still could not give an accurate answer.

Suddenly, a question came to mind: Why do you think he knows him so well? This question has come up many times today, from the moment I met him. I always felt that I had seen him recently, and it should have been within twenty-four hours, that Qu Yong thought of that person again, the person who had helped. That person is very similar to him, the sound quality and tone of his speech are similar, but one speaks standard language, the other speaks dialect, and one voice is loud, and the other voice is dull, but Qu Yong feels very similar.

Is he the same person as that person, and if so, how should he deal with it? Qu Yong once again asked.

There was a sound of footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

Qu Yong nodded in the direction of the door: "Come in." ”

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man pushed open the door of the house: "Township Chief Qu, the investigator is invited." ”

"Okay. Qu Yong agreed, stood up, and walked out.

……

Township Mayor's Office.

Chu Tianqi sat behind his desk, smiling, and sometimes "hehe" Zhile, not knowing what he was laughing at.

'Boom' footsteps came, the sound was getting closer and closer, and Chu Tianqi stopped laughing, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

The footsteps stopped, and there was a knock on the door.

Looking at the direction of the door, Chu Tianqi said "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Qu Yong walked into the house.

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" and stood up: "Township Chief Qu, this is your throne, and now it will be returned to its original owner." ”

Qu Yong hurriedly said: "No, no, you are a researcher of the National Development and Reform Commission, you are not only a superior leader, but also a distinguished guest, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't give in and sat down again.

Qu Yong hesitated for a moment and sat down on the sofa.

Looking at the other party's face, Chu Tianqi did not speak again, but looked at the other party with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Qu Yong was a little uncomfortable, so he asked directly: "Researcher, what questions do you need me to answer?"

Chu Tianqi spoke: "Township Chief Qu, are you usually busy with work?"

"Not part of the time, but there are some times when it's not busy. Qu Yong said.

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" again, and said slowly: "I saw that your eye sockets were black, your expression was slightly haggard, and you didn't seem to have rested well, did you work overtime last night?"

The cheek muscles jumped twice, and Qu Yong hesitated: "No, I didn't work overtime, I didn't have a good rest." ”

Chu Tianqi asked again: "There are several people in the township, I see that their eyes are blue and tired, are they working overtime?"

"They ......" paused, Qu Yong's body straightened up a little, "The township cadres are not in a good mental state, and I, as the head of the township government, should bear the main responsibility." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Township Chief Qu, I only investigated agricultural issues, and I just asked casually. Could you please tell us about the current situation in the rural areas after the abolition of the agricultural tax, the problems they are facing, and the countermeasures that should be taken?"

"Good. After answering this word, Qu Yong muttered for another two minutes, and then raised his head: "I think the positive impact of the abolition of the agricultural tax has already been discussed by many comrades in front of me, so I will briefly talk about the main points." After the abolition of the agricultural tax, the status of the peasants has been appropriately improved, but this is not a matter that can be achieved overnight, and it is still necessary for the peasants to improve their self-confidence, and it is still more necessary for the society to have a problem of understanding and ideological change. After the abolition of the agricultural tax, the gap between urban and rural areas may be narrowed, but a process is still needed, and relevant policies need to be continued and promoted. After the abolition of the agricultural tax, the burden on peasants has been eased to some extent, and the pressure on families in difficulty, in particular, has been greatly reduced. After the abolition of the agricultural tax, the relationship between cadres and the masses has improved, but new contradictions have also emerged.

There are positive and negative aspects to everything, and the policy of abolishing agricultural taxes is undoubtedly a great and correct decision made by the central authorities, and the vast number of peasant friends, including the people of the whole country, have a positive attitude. However, in the process of implementation, the situation in different places is different, and some new problems have also arisen. Take Hejiayao Township as an example, the source of fiscal revenue has decreased by 40%, and how to make up for the deficit in time is a very realistic problem. Originally, Hejiayao had a deficit before, and now it has reduced so many tax sources, which is an inappropriate word to describe it, which is to make matters worse.

The abolition of agricultural taxes and the increase in the value of land income have set off a round of "geothermal energy", land disputes have occurred one after another, and contradictions between villagers and between village committees and villagers have occurred frequently. In the past, peasants who voluntarily gave up their contracting rights because they were afraid of high taxes and fees, who went out to work and do business, and who bought houses in cities and moved out, have come back one after another to ask for land and do not hesitate to make a big move. I have been working in the township for more than half a year, coordinating and handling many disputes due to problems such as false areas and unclear ownership. These problems have finally been initially resolved, but there are still some hidden dangers.

After the abolition of the agricultural tax, people are keen on important land, mainly to receive corresponding subsidies. Since there is no longer the pressure of taxes and fees, after receiving subsidies, these people still go out to work and do business, and do not cultivate the land under their names, and the phenomenon of abandonment is very prominent. It is not excluded that some kind of tacit understanding has been reached between individual village committees and villagers, and the specific situation remains to be investigated.

In the past, the collection of agricultural taxes and fees was an important task of township cadres, which was often closely linked to work performance, rating, promotion, and so on, so township cadres had to actively and seriously deal with it. And now that there is no work content, people's subjective initiative is greatly weakened, and they feel relieved. Originally, they should have changed their functions and contributed to the scientific prosperity of the peasants and the increase of township and town finances, but many people spent their energy on other aspects, and even did things that did not match their status. At the same time, the village cadres have been relieved of the burden of tax collection, and they have nothing to do.

There are so many problems, of course, there are policy loopholes, but the most important thing is that there is a deviation in implementation, and I, as the person in charge of the township government, have an unshirkable responsibility. I have already started to formulate corresponding measures for the above four problems, and individual measures have been implemented. Among them, the problem of land disputes has been curbed, but the phenomena of false reporting and fraudulent claims still need to be investigated, corrected, and stopped. The transformation of government functions is also a very urgent issue, but the measures have not been implemented, and an opportunity and an entry point are needed. This is a practical problem that must be solved in order to increase and generate income for the township finance, but it must not be a swarm of bees, it must be directional, and it is necessary to resolutely put an end to unfinished projects. In the short term, solving the problem of abandonment is the most urgent, and I plan to inspect the cultivated land in the whole township starting today, and instruct the village to complete the ploughing and sowing work by 15 May. ”

Hearing what the other party said above, Chu Tianqi nodded secretly: That's it, that's it, the people in contact with the township today, including the county leaders, are all counted, and this person seems to be the only one who does things. But he didn't directly praise it, but asked again: "There is still a week until the fifteenth, can it all be planted in such a short time?"

Qu Yong said with certainty: "Yes." Now that most of the farming work has been completed, each village has mobilized the whole village, and there is absolutely no problem. ”

Chu Tianqi asked: "What if the actual situation is not as you wish, the progress is slow or the yang is contrary to the yin?"

"I have arranged for someone to inspect the village, and I will go through all the villages myself. If the village fails to complete the project on time, the village cadres will be dismissed on the spot. Qu Yong was arrogant at this time, "I may encounter resistance from outside the village, but I believe that as long as my banner is clear, no one dares to directly argue with me, otherwise it will be dealt with as a state subsidy." ”

secretly shouted "Okay", Chu Tianqi said again: "Township Chief Qu, you ......"

"Knock knock", "Knock knock", the voices rang one after another, and a voice came from the door: "Mayor Chu, it's time for lunch." ”
