Chapter 41: The Gong

Not long after Qi Tianxiang and Liu Tangzi entered the office, Luan Shi arrived, although they received a call from him yesterday, it was still a little surprising to come so early. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"Did you just come back from the battlefield, or did you go to the construction site to inspect, so embarrassed?" Liu Tangzi looked at Luan Shi covered in dirt and oil in one hand, and quickly took a towel to dust off the soil for him, joking mischievously.

"Don't say it, I just got on the highway and didn't drive far, so I let a car overtake and say goodbye, Xiao Wang's handling was quite appropriate, but the car hit the fence and broke on the highway, so it was easy to find a car and drag it down." Luan Shi walked to the washbasin to wash the oil stains on his hands, shook his head and smiled helplessly: "The current driver, who is bold and not afraid of anything, can't surpass it at a glance, but also surpasses it, but the result is that he has passed, and we have suffered." ”

Hearing Luan Shi say this, looking at the dust on his body, Qi Tianxiang asked nervously, "Is it really okay?" No kidding? ”

"It's really okay", Luan Shi saw Qi Tianxiang's nervous expression, so he slowed down his tone and said clearly: "The soil on my body and the oil on my hands were made when I repaired the car, thinking that there was no big problem, and the repair could still deal with it, but it was really not good, my level of repairing tanks really couldn't fiddle with this car." No, Xiao Wang followed the trailer to the repair shop, and I took a taxi over. ”

"Your bankruptcy should have been changed a long time ago, now you look at who still sits in a car like yours, it's not that there is no condition to change, don't you change it after making a report, don't talk about the brand, displacement or anything, at least change a new car that doesn't break down much, how many times did you say this broken car broke down?" Liu Tangzi disdainfully persuaded Luan Shi, but after changing his tone, he continued to joke: "What, do you want to go one step further and take the Audi in one step?" ”

"Shit Audi, any car is a tool, I'm not that shallow." Luan Shi's eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly, a look of anger gradually appeared on his face. But then he laughed and said: "Actually, no matter how good a car is, it's just a sitting, just like a movie says, a good car must be driven by a good person?" Whoever drives a good car must be a good person. Come to think of it, it's only been a few years, and cars have entered life and homes in large numbers. A large number of cars enter the family, which is a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that it is much easier to get things done with a car, and the bad thing is that more and more people are tired by the car. In the past, when I went to work and did the bus, I could squint for a while when I got on the bus, but I couldn't drive, and when I got on the steering wheel, all my nerves were mobilized, and there was no moment to relax until I stopped. The car still has a fault or something, but the person who drives it is King Kong's incorruptible body. Whether it is a journey of dozens of kilometers or a long distance of hundreds of kilometers, you have to pay full attention and dare not be careless for a moment, because at a speed of tens or hundreds of kilometers per hour, no one dares to imagine what the result will be if you are not careful. Whether it's a day's meeting today, or a major surgery, or a cold and discomfort today, or going out in the morning to talk to my wife, or the boss deliberately finding fault. You can't take care of it when you get in the car, you have to look ahead calmly, and you have to pay attention to the left and right, isn't this the best way to test your cultivation? ”

"But what's the solution? Who told you to buy a car? And who told you that you can't afford to hire a driver to drive, you deserve to be unlucky. Liu Tangzi pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "That's why life is getting more and more comfortable, but there are more and more low-tech drivers. ”

"The entry of the car is not a matter of course, but a break-in, and it is a break-in when the people are not mentally prepared at all." Qi Tianxiang also joined the topic, thinking and saying: "With the development of the economy, life is better, and the pockets are bulging, but how can people know that they have money, the mobile phone is too small for people to see; Brand-name clothing is glamorous and beautiful, but counterfeit and shoddy clothes are all over the street, and they are unreliable. At this time, the car came into being, the four wheels of the car is not fake, the powerful can only consume things, of course, it is superior, but after all, the rich are still limited, can afford Mercedes-Benz, BMW after all the main is a minority, so all kinds of Japanese cars are popular, cheap and fuel-efficient to meet the dreams of many people with cars, you can show off or travel, but the role of the initial travel is not big, after all, buying a car and driving are still two things. I don't know when it began, the madness of buying a car was associated with the madness of driving, because the initial show off was to have a car, and someone drove me for me, which was enough. In recent years, young people have entered the car market, and they not only want to own a car, but also enjoy the fun of driving. After all, the car has become practical from showing off, the city is big, and there are more rushes on the way to work, and it is indeed much more convenient to have a car, and on weekends or holidays, with family or a few friends, it is also very convenient and face-saving to travel in the suburbs. Comparing with each other boosts the pace of cars entering the home. But at the same time, there is a lot of trouble, the car is jammed, and even not walking fast, and parking has become a problem, some people ridiculed: now it is more difficult to find a parking space than to find an object. ”

"The number of vehicles is increasing, and people are not prepared because of the rush to break in, especially since the car culture is not keeping up with it in advance or in sync." Luan Shi nodded and praised Qi Tianxiang's views, and then said: "This is very similar to our reform, there is no problem with the overall design, developing the economy, making the country's economy bigger and stronger, improving people's lives, and taking the road of making the country strong and the people rich, this is not wrong, and it is wise and great, but how to adjust the national structure, how to control the income gap, how to coordinate the development of emerging industries and traditional industries, how to coordinate the central and local governments, as well as development and security, prosperity and stability, environment and progress, laws and constraints, and so on. There is no design in advance, and there is not even effective research and prevention, and it is all found that some solutions are retained that cannot be solved temporarily. Therefore, the more problems are solved, the more departments are solved, the more difficult it is to solve, and eventually it becomes a mess, just like the problem of urban traffic and the three chaos of highways, is the problem very big? Isn't there a departmental regulation? It's not, but the interests of the department are not controlled, and the psychology of competing for profits in various departments is not controlled, so there is the disadvantage of 'nine big caps can't control one broken straw hat'. So is the reform wrong? Over the years, have not the economy, society, ideology, and system undergone tremendous changes in both qualitative and quantitative terms? Without the big engine of reform, can these results be achieved? Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the reform, there is nothing wrong with the overall design of the reform, but the complexity and difficulty of the reform process are underestimated, and the solutions to the difficulties and problems are insufficient. It is the fundamental contradiction between complete marketization and legalization and administrativeness, the market belongs to the market, and the mayor's belongs to the mayor. ”

"The car culture has not been effectively established, which comes from the connivance of management, but also from the mentality of car owners." Liu Tangzi took over the topic and said: "Not to mention that it is too complicated, it is that the vehicles change lines and park indiscriminately, it is not that there are no regulations, it is not that no one manages it, but the management evolves into fines that are connivance at violations." A penalty can only make the fine more and more, because the fine is not tired, and the person who is fined is happy to accept it. After all, it is better to touch the body than to touch the soul, and if you are caught once out of ten violations, the cost of this violation is still worth it. Moreover, this is still a fluke of some people, and even more people think that they are powerful or rich, and they can talk loudly when they drive a luxury car, so everyone has to make way for themselves, and they don't pay attention to the rules at all, or there are no rules in their eyes. It is very difficult for you to punish such a person, and the self-righteous inflated will cause a lot of trouble. As a result, unfair enforcement of the law has led to more people following suit, making it more difficult to manage. After all, the traffic police is only a department, the brain is not so hard, or there are not many people with a hard brain, and the fear of law enforcement is not only the sorrow of the law, but also the sorrow of society. This does not take into account the interest factor, the traffic police have the task of fines, a large part of the administrative office expenses and bonuses and benefits, to rely on the excess return of the fines to fill, so the three chaos of the highway is more and more chaotic, and the more the urban traffic is managed, the more congested. The reason is not the car, let alone the law, but the system and rules, the game has rules, at the big is the social order, and the small is the code of conduct. ”

"Alright, alright, let's not be judges here." Qi Tianxiang intercepted the topic, looked at Luan Shi with a smile and said teasingly: "Your car is broken, you have been tossing for so long, and it will be there before nine o'clock, if you don't toss, it must be Lao Liu who has to invite you to breakfast?" As he spoke, he asked with concern, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten it", Luan Shi replied succinctly, and then said: "For his breakfast, the nest cakes, minced meat are dressed in sand, and the traditional snacks of the plains are slammed." Luan Shi pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Presumably you were fooled by him like this on the first day." ”

"You don't understand this, this is called cultural reception, don't eat hotel snacks, the first is to deepen the impression of the local environment, humanity, and customs; secondly, quickly shorten the distance with the guests, which is convenient for work and emotional communication; Third, it's really money-saving, and you can eat comfortably. Liu Tangzi crossed his fingers and said matter-of-factly, his eyebrows fluttering, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

"Then you can just invite you to your house to eat, and let your wife make a few pancakes and roll them with green onions, isn't it more able to connect with feelings, and it doesn't cost money." Luan Shiseen smiled and taunted Liu Tangzi, but he still took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and lit the fire affectionately. After all, it's an old friend, and I'm used to speaking openly.

"Don't say it, this is really a way, why don't you go home at noon and ask your sister-in-law to make you hand-rolled noodles to eat?" Liu Tangzi followed Luan Shi's words and said with interest: "Eating is actually just a formality, and cooking is the real chapter." Cooking is not actually a skill, at best it can only be regarded as labor. Frying, frying, stewing, boiling, and stewing, to put it bluntly, are just some basic means, except for the Manchu and Han full seats, who knows all the cooking techniques between a meal, and a lot of home-cooked practices are worth a hundred times when they arrive at a hotel, why? The atmosphere of the environment has changed, and the little green cabbage has turned into a green parrot, not that the vegetables are changing, but that the mood has changed. Of course, the hotel's rush to fry also effectively retains the flavor of the ingredients, and with the seasoning of the broth, it is no wonder that it is not delicious.

But the difference between a chef and a housewife is not about knife work and cooking, but about work and workmanship. The master chef starts as an apprentice, whether it is cutting piers or turning spoons, all in order to make a living and have something to eat. In the final analysis, the restaurant is praised for the dishes and taste, which has nothing to do with the chef, of course, there are also chef signs, but they are also rare, and it is rare to see the restaurant with dishes as the signboard, among thousands of chefs. Moreover, the chef is very regional, Sichuan, Shandong, Hui, Guangdong, Hunan, Henan, Chao, Yang, very regional, it is difficult to break through the regional characteristics of the national fame, and the chef who is famous in one region may not be bought in another place. At the same time, some ingredients in a region are accustomed to a cooking method, such as the fried sea cucumber with green onion in Shandong cuisine, there is no market in Guangdong, the taste is heavy and the oil is thick, which is not in line with the taste of Cantonese people, and they prefer light sea cucumber soup. And the oysters of Cantonese cuisine are roasted with garlic when they arrive in Beijing. In fact, the mystery is not the deliciousness of Sichuan cuisine, but the integration of the strengths of each family, taking into account the characteristics of various ingredients, spicy and fragrant is followed by the fine processing of food, but the real signature dishes mapo tofu and back to the pot meat have not gone to the whole country, but hot pot, bacon stir-fry, dried tofu and other dishes have won the eyeballs, why? Sichuan cuisine caters to the consumption needs of the people, that is, the dinner is in full swing, and it is not fanfare, after all, the income of the people is still only at a higher stage than the tooth sacrifice, that is, the corresponding party dinner, exchange feelings in the process of eating, a meal of fresh seafood half a month's salary is gone, who can afford to eat.

In addition, the chef's job is to cook, and it is basic to cook the rice well, and no one treats the dishes as works of art, except for carvings, which are turnips, and they are not eaten for you. Therefore, the chef loves and hates the kitchen, and if he does not enter, there is no rut, and if he enters, it is also a torture of patience. It's smoky every day, and you never know what the next guest will order, you like to make mapo tofu, and he orders a vinegared shredded potato, don't you do it? And you still have enthusiasm for making twenty shredded potatoes in a row. So hobbies and livelihoods are never the same thing.

Relatively, housewives have more autonomy, what ingredients to do what dishes, want to eat braised pork, sorry I didn't prepare today, only braised fish, this is freedom, you can judge freely according to the ingredients, and you can choose the ingredients purposefully according to your preferences, if you want to eat small green vegetables, go to the vegetable market to buy them, as for whether it is stir-fried or slippery fried, it all depends on the mood. Of course, the monotonous repetition every day is also a kind of torture, no matter what the mood is, you have to prepare a three meat and four vegetables, no matter what the physical mood is, after all, you are not cooking for your own food, so the responsibility is not only to bear, but also to consider, is a test of your own quality and ability. ”

"Forget it, isn't it enough to make a mess?" Luan Shi waved his hand, decisively refused, turned his face to look at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a serious expression: "Come here to touch the situation, presumably Secretary Bai came back to the situation, and the two of you are also angry, so come and listen to your next arrangement." ”

"Judging from the investigation and understanding of the situation in recent days, the basic pieces of the situation grasped in the early stage can be implemented, and a lot of new materials and evidence have been added, involving a very wide range of levels, not only some individuals in provinces, cities, and counties, but also some departments and individuals in Beijing. Secretary Zheng Ming of our province has clearly instructed that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will take the lead and the city and county Commission for Discipline Inspection will cooperate to carry out a comprehensive clean-up in the near future. Secretary Luan came just in time, and was about to inform you of these things, so you came. Qi Tianxiang deployed with a serious expression, frowning from time to time, it seemed to be very painful and difficult, it was indeed for such a large-scale clean-up and anti-corruption, for him to be able to quickly obtain a good image and bonus points, which was undoubtedly very helpful to his prestige and influence after taking office, but this was not what he wanted, and he did not want to have a hot and iron-faced impression in the officialdom of Hehai, which not only directly affected his relationship in the officialdom, but also had a negative impact on his father-in-law's image, but now he has no choice, In addition to the integrity and jealousy in his own character, the morals, beliefs, and values he has cultivated over the years cannot allow this ugliness to exist, and more importantly, this is also the expectation of all honest people, and there is the task assigned by his superiors, which he must and should do, for his faith, for his career, and for his work. Seeing Luan Shi and Liu Tangzi looking directly at him, Qi Tianxiang felt a little distracted, smiled apologetically, slowed down his tone and said: "Thinking about coming to the plains to investigate and implement the situation of a certain cadre in some provinces, who knew that pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud and pulling out so many nest cases and string cases was unexpected!" ”

"This is also forced by the current situation, and it is only incumbent on us to do it." Liu Tangzi seemed to understand why Qi Tianxiang's emotion came, so he said resolutely.

"Such a phenomenon can only show that what we are doing now is only what we should have done in the past but did not do well, it is to make up for the merits, make up for the mistakes of others, and also make up for the mistakes of the future, and only in this way can we be worthy of our duties and our conscience." Luan Shi's words did not hesitate, and Fangzheng's face was full of firmness and determination.

"Okay, that's it, let's start here in the plain, considering the jujube fragrance festival in two days, in order to reduce the negative impact and unnecessary side effects, the net will be closed after the festival. Then the Qinghe Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection began to close the net in due course, and Secretary Zheng Ming and Secretary Bai in the province will make unified arrangements. Qi Tianxiang said briefly, there was no hesitation and hesitation in his tone, and there was more courage and firmness.

This is also Qi Tianxiang's biggest worry about himself, as well as the biggest contradiction between his temporary post and work in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. As a scholar, he thinks that he is still qualified, whether in terms of knowledge, understanding, teaching level, and even the standard of life, he is in place, and it is not too much to say that he is excellent, but as an official, especially as a cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is still worried that he is too kind, and he is soft and soft on the choice of the life and death of others. Maybe these can be solved by time and experience, which is what his father-in-law called 'experience', but what worries him more is that after the numbness and knowledge after the experience, his soft heart will become hard, even cold, which is an even more terrible thing, numb and sharp It seems that it is not terrible, and it hardens the kindness, sympathy, humanity and enthusiasm in the heart, and becomes a law enforcement machine with no feelings, no cognition, and even no tears and regrets, what a terrible thing it will be, and I have the ability to refuse to come one day, Or even refuse to change? Qi Tianxiang didn't know, although he couldn't believe all this, but he clearly felt that Fang Cai's own words had already decided the careers and fates of at least a dozen people, although they violated party discipline and state law, although they themselves caused this tragedy, after all, they decided the direction of the plot, after all, they participated in and implemented all this, this is their sorrow, how can it not be their own sorrow? When they took a curtain call under his Qi Tianxiang's arrangement, how could it not be his own curtain call and farewell as a scholar?

It may seem like a joke, but it is true, the chairman of the CPPCC in a county in a neighboring province is about to retire, but the evidence of his own purchase of official positions a few years ago was exposed with the fall of a deputy secretary in the city. There is a resume in a box full of money that I sent, and after I gave it to the leader, it was put in the storage room, because I received too much money and things, and I didn't have time to sort it out, and the leader never opened the box at all. Liu Tangzi wanted to adjust the atmosphere, "I really don't know what our corrupt officials think, and how they think about it, a huge corruption that was knocked out not long ago, hundreds of millions of yuan in cash were piled up in a house at home, and it took a few money counting machines to count it for a whole day, and a few money counting machines were broken in the middle." I really don't understand, what is this kind of money used for, what can it do, in addition to occupying space in the house, what is the meaning, can bring physical satisfaction, or psychological satisfaction, just like some corrupt officials said when they fell off the horse, they don't know how much money they have, and they don't know who sent it, and even some money has not been opened in a box, anyway, someone will send it, and it is completely a manifestation of a disease, no one will send it, ask for bribes for various reasons, it seems that don't want to suffer a loss, but you don't know how to deal with it. It's a terrible phenomenon. In fact, as an official, especially when he reaches a certain level, he basically has no concept of money, because food, housing, transportation, and smoking and drinking are all paid by public funds or alcohol, and basically there are very few places to spend money, or there is no place at all, the car is allocated by the government, the housing is provided by the public for free, the medical treatment is special and free, and there are certain special services. ”

"The so-called life greed, you have to have life flowers, no matter how much well-being, enjoying is the real blessing, greedy so much, but the end is to spend the rest of your life in prison, isn't it stupid and sad?" Luan Shi gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"It seems that Secretary Qi is not in a good mood today, or let's go out for a walk and relax." Liu Tangzi keenly felt the change in Qi Tianxiang's expression and mood, so he proposed, "Secretary Luan can't stay in my ruined temple for long, don't stare at me, I'm not scolding you, your appearance will make some people suspicious and uncomfortable." ”

"Also, why don't we go out for a walk?" Luan Shi was suddenly awakened by Liu Tangzi's words, appearing at such a time will cause suspicion and prevention, and may also bring unnecessary trouble, so he looked at Qi Tianxiang and suggested, "Go to the countryside and breathe fresh air." ”

"Okay, go out for a walk, go to Lao Liu's house at noon, and you have to eat my sister-in-law's hand-rolled noodles." Qi Tianxiang smiled impressively, and seemed to be relieved a lot under the understanding persuasion of Luan Shi and Liu Tangzi, and he didn't want to show anything too much, so he pretended to be happy.

"That's not easy, isn't it just hand-rolled noodles, my wife is very good at it." Liu Tangzi said briskly, got up and went out to arrange the driver.

"Don't use the unit's car, let's see if it's convenient for your nephew, if not, take a taxi to the countryside." Qi Tianxiang stopped Liu Tangzi, which also made Luan Shi suddenly realize that going to the countryside with a car would be speculated no matter what, not to mention that the secretaries of the provincial, municipal, and county discipline inspection commissions appeared at the same time, and it would soon become a major news for the organ and even the county.

Liu Tangzi immediately walked to the desk and picked up the phone, and soon Liu Tangzi's nephew Chaobo arrived, sent a message, and waited outside the back door of the compound, and the three of them walked out of the office, walked to the back door and got into the car.

"Why is it so fast, are you okay today?" Liu Tangzi asked Chaobo after getting into the car.

"Isn't this a security job for the Jujube Festival, it's okay if you draw a warning area, I've been idle for the past two days." Because of the experience of the last time, Chaobo looked at Qi Tianxiang and smiled innocently, which can be regarded as a greeting. Then he nodded at Luan Shi.

"Have they all been drawn, and how many people are there?" Qi Tianxiang asked thoughtlessly.

"I don't know anything else, except for one person who is on duty at home, we have drawn it all." Chaobo replied truthfully, "The other estimates are similar. ”

"Once there is something in the township, no one cares." Luan Shi asked angrily, obviously trying his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"It's about the same, after all, it's a major event in the county!" Liu Tangzi echoed casually, turned his face to look at Qi Tianxiang, "Don't talk about this, where are we going?" ”

"Where?" Qi Tianxiang also had no idea, looked at Luan Shi with a smile, and then looked at Liu Tangzi, as if waiting for their idea.

"As long as you get out of here, you can go anywhere!" Luan Shi seemed to be getting angry.

"Why don't you go to our hometown and see our new countryside?" Liu Tangzi said tentatively, seeing that Qi Tianxiang and Luan Shi did not have a clear objection, he said to Chaobo: "Let's go, go back to your hometown." ”

Chaobo's van slowly drove towards the outside of the city. Because it is familiar with the road, and it is not far away, it seems that after a while, it seems that he left the county seat and arrived at the boundary of Pingcang Township.

"We are a plain, relatively mountainous township, our conditions here are still good, and it is also the main production area of cotton and grain, and the county's agriculture in the past also relied on our agricultural townships to contribute." Liu Tangzi proudly introduced: "However, since the leaders took a fancy to the characteristic industry of jujube a few years ago, they not only promoted the cultivation of jujube in the alluvial tidal flats, but even our townships and towns with relatively contiguous land also asked to abandon grain and grow jujubes, but the jujube trees did not bear fruit, and the grain harvest was gone, and the peasants had great opinions. ”

The van drove slowly along the country road, and as far as the eye could see, the large area of land was flat and pleasing to the eye, but the things grown in the cultivated land were very different, different, and there was nothing planted in the yellow earth, which was very eye-catching, like patches on a flat green canvas.

"This is the current situation in the rural areas, the contract responsibility system of joint production, the autonomy lies with the individual, there are those who plant anything, there are those who plant nothing, those who plant trees, those who grow grain, those who grow cotton, and so on." Liu Tangzi lost no time in saying.

"There is nothing wrong with the contract responsibility system of joint production, and the distribution of land to individuals so that everyone can own land was a necessary move to solve the contradiction of food and clothing and low labor force at that time, and now it seems that it also has great political and economic significance. It seems that not interfering, not guiding, and letting the peasants fully make decisions is the respect for the peasants' autonomy and the full release of the peasants' wisdom and talents. Qi Tianxiang looked at the land outside, thinking and said: "In the past, a large area of land needs to be cultivated and managed, and the production team will arrange manure, weeding or watering according to the agricultural time. Now each household is not much land, the investment in drilling wells and repairing reservoirs is too large, field management and fertilization and weeding are time-consuming and laborious, basically ignore it, and return to the time when relying on the sky to eat, the seeds are sown and there is no one to manage, the growth is slow to apply chemical fertilizer, the land is not maintained and basic maintenance, there is no way to do drought, there is no way to waterlog, the result is that the land is becoming more and more barren, more and more compact, is this agricultural progress, or degradation? ”

"That's right! I didn't expect Secretary Qi, a white-faced scholar, to have such a good experience in agriculture, and when I heard it, he was really an expert, just like a young cadre who grew up in the countryside. Liu Tangzi teased in admiration, he praised Qi Tianxiang's meticulousness and diversity in thinking, and felt that this white-faced scholar was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and was good at learning and observing thinking, and seemed to have his own thinking and understanding of everything, such ** thinking is really rare. So Qi Tianxiang said: "No matter how good the policy is, it should be adjusted and revised in a timely manner, and the land contract has been implemented for more than 30 years, and the practice of more than 30 years also needs to be summarized and evaluated, and this second round of land contracting should be fine-tuned?" With the development of the economy and social progress, especially after the diversification of production and lifestyle, the drawbacks of decentralized land management have gradually been revealed, or it is not suitable for the specific reality of rural agriculture, and the phenomenon of land abandonment or extensive management formed by the flow of personnel and labor has appeared, or the meager output of the land is not planted, or the farmers are busy planting and harvesting in a hurry, not to mention the money and money spent on the back and forth of migrant workers, and it is also sad to the mind, and there is nothing to harvest after planting, and not planting is fundamental after all. Some of the land is only left to the elderly and infirm at home, and the land has become a chicken rib in the eyes of some farmers. It is a kind of wisdom to let the peasants who have left the land go out and keep them, and let the living standards of the peasants who remain on the land gradually improve, and this will test our ruling wisdom all the more. ”

"This is true, some people do not want to plant, some people do not have land to plant, and the result of equal distribution is that all the peasants are tied to the pillar of the land." Luan Shi praised Liu Tangzi's words and also expressed his opinions, "The rural industrialization leader implemented in the past, as well as the land circulation implemented now, are both a good way to solve some practical and urgent problems, but there are also many problems in detail. Although the industrial model of the company and farmers has solved the problem of farmers' difficulty in selling, after all, there is an extra layer of exploitation in the price of agricultural products, either the purchase at a lower price hurts the farmers, or the sale at a higher price raises the price and increases the burden on the final consumer, and with the fluctuation of the price market, the breach of contract occurs from time to time. Therefore, this model can only have some significance in concentrated contiguous areas or relatively single areas of cultivation. Land intensification may be a way to concentrate scattered land and produce contiguous economic benefits, and it can also give birth to more professional growers and large households, so that limited land can create greater benefits, which is indeed a good way, but just like coins have both sides of the positive and negative, any one thing has different manifestations and reflections. First of all, after the land is concentrated in the hands of large households, will the large households return the land or pay rent according to the lease period and the agreement, will the annual rent change after the land premium, and will the large households change the use of the land at will, after all, the rent of a few hundred yuan per mu is really nothing to the rich man, he does not grow grain, digs fish ponds to raise fish, builds farms or leisure villas, is this not without precedent, so that the land returned to the peasants in the future is still cultivated land? Moreover, will the land that has been planned or built be returned to the farmers? How to return? In this way, there will inevitably be disputes over land, bargaining or buying and selling, or may there be a mild situation, and the forcible robbery will be carried out? Such things have not happened in remote rural areas, because disputes over contracted land and deaths have occurred frequently. Isn't this a disguised loss of land for the peasants? What is the substantive significance of the rural land contract system? Of course, the state prohibits the public sale and reuse of land, especially cultivated land, but who can prohibit private transactions, and who can supervise and manage private changes? Do you rely on the village council? On the peasants themselves? Fifty years is too long, who knows what changes will occur during the period, Chengguan Town was still an agricultural township before, it has only been more than ten years, what about arable land? What about the peasants? Perhaps the most terrible thing is not the changes brought about by the development of the country and cities, but the intangible changes brought about by the changes in the nature of the land. Isn't that a plain fact? Now that there are peasants in the rural areas who have contracted out their own land and then worked for large households, has the nature of society changed in the long run? Therefore, the problems of the countryside are not simply economic problems, but involve political and sensitive class problems. And at the same time, there is also the phenomenon of cultivated land not renting, no matter how much money I don't rent, let you concentrate on the contiguous can not be done, large machinery and land centralized consolidation, water conservancy and infrastructure can not be fully integrated, which also loses the meaning of contiguous intensification, to put it simply, this is autonomy, arable land rent or not is completely the will of the individual, but at the deep level, is there also a concern about the ownership of land, as well as the motive of blackmail and scoundrels? ”

Patiently listening to Luan Shi's words, Liu Tangzi signaled Chaobo to stop, beckoned Qi Tianxiang and Luan Shi to get out of the car, pointed to several high-rise buildings not far away and said: "Look at our new countryside, there is still a problem of housing after the land problem, the construction of the new countryside has become a pretext for the reintegration of interests here, and the village looks very beautiful, so that farmers can live in high-rise buildings and enjoy the same quality of life as urban people. The living distance from the contracted field is getting farther and farther away, what should I do if I go to the field? These were not carefully considered and studied, and they swarmed and swarmed, but the result was thankless, and they still went back to the old road and returned the homestead to the peasants. In fact, the purpose of this is not complicated, that is, to use the rural homesteads to carry out continuous development and obtain more commercial benefits. As he spoke, he said in an aggravated tone: "These high-rise buildings, less than one-third of which the peasants live in, have become commercial houses and transitional houses for the demolition of the county seat, and many peasants have moved back to the old villages to live, so that it is also convenient to work in the fields, but the result is that there are no farmers in the new countryside, the old villages cannot be demolished, and returning to farming has become an empty word." ”

"In fact, there is no way to solve the problems of peasants and rural areas, and to eliminate the exploiters on the peasants' heads and let the peasants decide for themselves the fate and ownership of the land may lack consciousness, but it is the way out that can solve the fundamental problems in the rural areas, that is, rural cooperatives. In fact, this is a very simple and very practical method, what to plant on the land, how to plant, relying on a single struggle is either to hurt the peasants, or to plant blindly, and only by using the concentrated strength of the rural cooperatives can we solve the problem of difficulty in planting and selling the peasants in a very small area. Rural cooperatives are service organizations, they are organized by the peasants on their own initiative, they are not profitable, they are not exploited, they are completely free and fair, and they take the peasants' own interests as the starting point. Chaobo got out of the car and lost no time in interjecting.

"Don't tell me, it's a really novel idea." Qi Tianxiang looked at Chaobo with satisfaction and praised him, turned back to Liu Tangzi and said, "This idea is bold enough, maybe it is really the future direction of the countryside?" ”

"They work in the township police station, and they are exposed to these things every day, and they talk about it a lot, but in fact, some towns and towns have begun to try the model of rural cooperatives, but they are not mature and dare not say it to the outside world." Liu Tangzi looked at his nephew appreciatively, and there was no element of praise in his words, "Let's go into the village and go around, or go home to eat hand-rolled noodles." ”

"Don't look at it, go home for dinner, and go back to your hometown after eating." Luan Shi turned his head and walked towards the car, causing Qi Tianxiang and Liu Tangzi to laugh knowingly.

The van turned back, and on the way Liu Tangzi opened the conversation box again, "It's strange to say, every leader has to show that he is higher than his predecessor, in addition to the problem of our organizational department's employment inspection mechanism, is there also the problem of the official's own political performance impulse, as well as a little personal self-interest in it, a few high-rise buildings every year, build a few streets, it looks really obvious, very eye-catching, but the city's sewer pipe network is in disrepair, serious siltation, and even decades ago the pipe network is still in use, It is far from being able to adapt to the needs of urban development and expansion, as soon as the rainy season becomes a water city, these face-saving, buttocks are not a common case, how to solve, in fact, the people do not need these face projects, and do not need the rapid change of the city, and do not need the city to be like a big construction site, the whole life is in the construction waste and smoke, they need a simple life, they need a safe life, they need clear water and blue sky, these are what the government should provide, and must provide. ”

"For the management of local governments at all levels, in the past, the management was too strict, but it was too loose, it seems that no one cares about anyone, this is irresponsible, in the past, there was a small family, the dialectical relationship between the big river and the small river, but now we only look at the economic growth figures, only look at the superficial achievements, as long as there is development, anything can be done, nothing is cared, such as the problem of local government bonds, how to control, how to prevent investment impulses, especially how to prevent speculation and competing with the people, This is not an issue that the higher-level government should consider and control, and shouldn't urban infrastructure and public welfare undertakings be effectively defined as which ones need to be built with debt and which ones need to be built with financial funds? What kind of things need the government to borrow money to invest, and whether the benefits generated can repay the high principal and interest, does this not need to consider the government's borrowing behavior and motives? The government's reliance on debt for development and construction itself has the misconception of development. This does not include the local government's blind impulse to build in disregard of reality, as well as the impulse to speculate, once such a precedent is universalized, the higher level does not supervise, and the same level cannot control or dare not manage, who will bear the responsibility for the government's breach of contract? Who will compensate for the harm caused. No matter what the consequences are, in addition to the future, you can't manage it. Luan Shi couldn't help but interject again, not to say that he was angry, but even more angry, "Some officials now are more and more like capable officials in ancient times, and there are more and more means and methods to make money and exploit them in disguise, and it seems that it is nothing new to compete with the people for profits and hurt the people for profit." The reform of the education system has made many children unable to go to school, the reform of the medical system has made people look down on the sick, the reform of the housing system has made the people unable to afford to live in housing, and the construction and improvement of the social security system have made the old-age pension a disease of the people. What's more, the government has made money by borrowing land and various projects to benefit the people, coal, electricity, heating, gas, and water, which are closely related to the lives of the people, and the price increase has become an eternal theme, and the price of coal has risen, the price of electricity is rising, the price of coal has fallen, and the price price is still rising. Don't the common people have doubts? The government has become a money-making institution, and in addition to taxes, it also needs various forms of investment speculation to make money, so where does all this money go, shouldn't it be asked? What does the financially supported government want so much money for, to engage in face-saving projects? Fill your pockets? So will the people say, what do you want the government to do, and do you have one more layer of profiteering? ”

"Suppress the impulse of government investment speculation at the same time, but also to clarify the positioning of the government, the main function of the government is management, is to serve, so the financial support personnel will be greatly reduced, to solve these problems in the near future can be taken to merge, integration of functions to solve, in the long term can be a large range of institutions and personnel, clean and efficient government, first of all, should be functional norms, clear division of labor institutions, in fact, to put it bluntly, is simply to expand the province, withdraw the city and upgrade the county, the original central province, prefecture, city, county structure, just between communications, transportation, management means are relatively backward in the case of helpless moves. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, district-level institutions were set up above the townships and towns, but later they were gradually abolished, for the simple reason that the management methods had improved. However, the structure of provinces, prefectures, cities, and counties has been retained, and now the administrative offices of the provincial agencies basically no longer exist, and all cities have set up people's congress working committees to carry out the supervision and management functions of local governments; it can be said that in a certain sense, the provincial-level government's management authority over the county-level government has been emptied, and it has also virtually made it difficult for government decrees to be directly issued to grass-roots organizations; this is a very frightening phenomenon; the central government cannot control prefectures and cities, and the provincial party committee cannot manage counties and districts. Of course, there are hidden dangers, but there is no possibility of division and subversion, because the armed forces are firmly in the hands of the central authorities, but with the development and differentiation of the economy, the weight of discourse power in the eastern part of the economically developed areas and the central and western parts of the underdeveloped areas is not the same, and economic penetration and control are not impossible. Therefore, it is urgent to abolish the prefectural and city-level institutions, which can not only reduce the problem of large and excessive redundant institutions, reduce the pressure on financial support, but also ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees at the upper and lower levels, and there will be no obstruction in management. In fact, with the current changes in communication, transportation and management methods, there is really no need for the existence of prefecture-level institutions. Some county-level cities and important counties have gradually been directly managed by the province, and haven't they also set up the prefectural and municipal governments? The decision-making of some county-level and city-level people's congresses and the decision-making of prefecture-level and city-level people's congresses are in conflict, isn't it a fight between the interests of the people? Moreover, now telephone, mobile phone, video conference, online office, transportation has highways, high-speed rail, airplanes, and the distance between several provinces is a day back and forth, and it is not a problem to solve easily from province to county. On the basis of the abolition of institutions, strengthening the management of various departments is also a strategy that must be pursued and implemented. Take banks as an example, why are the current banks so good and do not give face to local governments, one is that the index assessment is responsible for the superior bank, and the local government has no right to speak, and the other is that the bank needs its own development, and only by being free from the control of the government can it develop according to its own characteristics and laws. Another example is the local government, why honestly obey the orders of the higher-level government, in addition to the assessment mechanism, the distribution of hats is also in the hands of others, can be issued to you, can also be taken off at any time, can the people's congress control it? No. Many law enforcement and management functions of functional departments, many are contrary to the interests of local governments, and there are contradictions, but in the face of management and local interests, many functional departments have succumbed, despite the laws and regulations given by the state, but the funds and hats are in the hands of local governments, this is the problem that the people often say that the law is powerful, this is the root of local protection, law enforcement departments not only can not enforce the law fairly and transparently, but instead help the abuse, for the tiger, what is the reason, supervision and management in the final analysis is still a hat problem. Take away the right to appoint and dismiss the decision-making power, management is not in place, law enforcement is not reasonable and moderate, not the local government judgment, but the fact judgment, legal judgment, this can not only avoid the milk river is not polluted, mine development does not affect the environment and other ridiculous incidents, but also can really correct the name and loosen the name of the chengguan, otherwise the benefit of the government functional departments will be difficult to manage and difficult things to do the chengguan office, so that the chengguan will be infamous. In this way, other benefits will be left aside for the time being, and the problems of overstaffing, the proliferation of temporary workers, the three chaos that are difficult to eliminate, and the problem of eight big caps not being able to control a broken straw hat can be solved, and all fines and confiscated funds will be handed over, and the higher departments of funds and establishment will decide, and if there is no proportional or over-proportional return, who will still do thankless work. Personnel funds are decoupled from local governments, cadres are rotated regularly, who still sells your government's face, superiors only take care of money, power, and affairs, those who do their duty are praised and promoted, those who do not fulfill their duties are punished and their hats are removed, and those who violate laws and disciplines are handed over to the discipline inspection and supervision and judicial departments for handling. Luan Shi said it in one breath, very clear and fluent, and it seemed to be a well-thought-out idea.

"This idea is a bit out of line, be careful to beat you as a separatist government." Liu Tangzi said jokingly, causing a burst of laughter from the people in the car.

"Nonsense, chaotic politics, and chaos are not considered divisions, but my heartfelt words can be regarded as divisions." Luan Shi said unconvinced.

"Can't afford to see a doctor, can't afford to go to school, can't afford to live in a house, can't afford to support the elderly, such a social reality is definitely not the ultimate goal of our reform, nor is it the well-being that we want to give people." Qi Tianxiang sighed deeply, and said worriedly, this morning's mood was very chaotic, very complicated, and very contradictory, and he couldn't say why.

Liu Tangzi's wife's hand-rolled noodles are indeed very good, and there are not only hand-rolled noodles, but also very rich dishes and wine, but thinking about what may happen in the afternoon, they didn't let go, as if they were gambling with a breath, but no one broke it.

During the meal, Xiao Wang drove over, and the problem was not big, and it was quickly repaired. After the meal, Luan Shi went back, and when he got into the car, he waved his fist vigorously, as if he was encouraging, and as if he had made up his mind, at that moment Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and he was a little inexplicably moved
