In the next two days, Niu Tiangou visited and surveyed some of the house builders and some villagers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When everyone heard that Niu Tiangou was asking the village cadres about the indiscriminate collection of fees by peasant households for building houses, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the indiscriminate collection of fees by the village cadres, and not only reported to Niu Tiangou the situation of indiscriminate collection of fees for the construction of houses, but also reflected the situation of the village cadres in indiscriminate fund-raising, arbitrary apportionment, and abuse of power to seek benefits for themselves.

The villagers reported that four years ago, the village cadres collected road fund-raising funds from the villagers at the standard of 20 yuan per mu per year in groups, and they have received it until this year; Two years ago, village cadres collected handyman fees from villagers at the rate of 3 yuan per mu in the second round of contract extension to improve rural land; Last year, village cadres collected more than 30,000 yuan from villagers to raise funds for "one matter, one discussion" to make up for the shortfall in village expenditures.

The villagers reported that the village cadres used the money they had scavenged to eat and drink and spend money indiscriminately, went to restaurants to eat and drink when they had nothing to do, often took taxis, and often organized visits and studies on occasions. The financial management of the village is chaotic, the real accounts are never made public, and the disclosure of village affairs is just a formality, so the villagers know nothing about how much they eat and drink and how much they embezzle, and all they see is that the small western-style building of the village party secretary and the director's house is the most beautiful in the village.

The villagers also reported that a few years ago, the village party secretary occupied the village's farmland to build a brick and tile factory, entrusted his younger brother to manage it, and the village director co-excavated the farmland to build a fish pond, and they all held shares in it.

In addition, the village party secretary also worked with the village director and the village accountant to privately divide the compensation for the occupation of the village land by the provincial chemical plant and the pollution compensation from the provincial chemical plant.

The villagers have been petitioning for several years on these matters, but they have not been resolved.

With these problems reported by the villagers, Niu Tiangou went to the village party secretary's house.

The village party secretary is Niu Guizi, who often bullied Niu Tiangou when he was a child, that is, the cow "devil".

Niu Guizi's house is a three-story western-style building, with a tile iron door, a high building and a large courtyard, covering an area of more than one acre.

Niu Tiangou stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted a few times, and the cow "devil" walked out of the building.

Niu Guizi and Niu Tiangou are the same age, after Niu Tiangou was admitted to the normal school to teach, he worked in the village for a period of time as a production captain, and later the village general election, with his family members are kind enough to pull votes, and was elected as the village party secretary in one fell swoop.

Niu "devil" is naturally no stranger to Niu Tiangou, who was often bullied by himself back then, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw Niu Tiangou visiting.

In the past two days, several villagers in the village have applied for homestead land in the village, and he went to the town's land and resources office and construction management office, knowing that Niu Tiangou came back this time to fight with Director Wu of the county land bureau for his mother's leg injury and the charge for building a house at home.

He really couldn't believe it, Niu Tiangou in the past was an honest man who couldn't speak three sentences a day, and he was bullied by himself so much that he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and after going out to mix for so many years, why did he become more and more bold, and he dared to shout at the wealthy Director Wu?

It is estimated that Niu Tiangou came for the fact that his family was charged by the village for building a house, and the Niu "devil" did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went downstairs to open the courtyard door.

It's not what it used to be, this is the lord that even the director of the county land bureau dares to touch, he doesn't dare to offend.

"Oh, it's Brother Tiangou, when will you come back?" The cow "devil" opened the iron gate of the courtyard with a rare smile on his face, and hurriedly handed out a cigarette, "Come in and sit, come in and sit." ”

"No more trouble." Niu Tiangou politely took the cigarette, smashed his mouth, and stood by the courtyard gate and said, "I just came to ask about the fees charged by the village to build houses." ”

"Oh, that's it." Niu "devil" laughed dryly, and then pretended to have a helpless expression, "In fact, we don't want to do this, it's all from the villagers, asking for money and offending people, but there is a policy above, and we can't do it." ”

"What did the village do with this money?" Niu Tiangou didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Seeing that Niu Tiangou asked so politely, and went straight to the point, Niu "Devil" was very unhappy, if he had turned his face and beaten people back then, but now he didn't dare, forced out a smile, and seemed to complain: "People in the village who don't know think that we took this money to eat and drink, and embezzled it, but in fact, we used all this money for the normal expenses of the village." ”

Speaking of this, the cow "devil" seemed to have been greatly wronged, and said helplessly: "For example, the township leaders have come down to inspect the work, do you want to entertain them?" When village cadres go out for meetings and study, do they want living allowances? In the village, roads are repaired, schools are built, electricity reform is carried out, and cadres are busy running money, contact materials, and pulling equipment to the county. The village committee office is in a dilapidated state, and there is not a penny allocated on it, should it be renovated? All of this requires money. ”

"Since all this money is used for the normal expenses of the village, why are the accounts not disclosed to the villagers?" Niu Tiangou asked.

Niu "devil" smiled bitterly, and said with an embarrassed face: "Since you asked here, then I will tell you the truth, we also want to make it public, but there are some things that are not easy to make public, and it is inconvenient to make them public." For example, the cost of entertaining township leaders to eat and drink, can this be made public? Looking for a leader to run funds to give some gifts meaning, this can be made public? The leaders should give some gifts for happy events and funerals at home, saying that this can be made public? During the New Year's holidays, I want to send some red envelopes to the leaders to contact and contact feelings, can this be made public?

"It can't be made public. If these are made public, isn't that a slap in the face of the leader? Will they do things for the village in the future? ”

Nima, village-level accounts cannot be made public, and it turns out that the issue of township and town cadres is also involved.

"But many villagers have reported that village cadres also have the problem of embezzlement." After thinking about it for a while, Niu Tiangou said bluntly.

"No, no, absolutely not."

The cow "devil" shook his head like a rattle, and after a pause, he seemed to be a little aggrieved and said: "If you insist on saying that there is a little, it is also a little hard-earned money." Do you think, how can a migrant worker go out to work and earn 120,000 yuan a year? One of our big men is 'planted' in the village, one can't go out to work, and the other can't open a shop to do business, we have to deal with the leaders above, and we have to solve the problems in the village.

"Besides, compared to the leaders above, our village cadres are nothing."

"That is to say, the village cadres are more or less embezzled?" Hearing this, Niu Tiangou hurriedly asked.

"It depends on what you say." The cow "devil" is no longer half-hidden, "Now how many village cadres don't want to make some money?" There is no sweetness, no oil and water, who will do this thankless village cadre! It's better to go out and work. I heard that you quit your job and went to work outside, and you have to earn at least 230,000 yuan a year, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Niu "Devil" answered him like this, and Niu Tiangou couldn't speak anymore.

It seems that the cadres of this village must be indispensable for charging fees indiscriminately.

……

After returning home, Niu Tiangou sorted out the materials for the visit and investigation, and then stayed up for two nights and wrote two letters, taking Niugang Village as an example, focusing on the situation and specific data of indiscriminate charges for rural housing construction.

As for the problems of village cadres raising funds indiscriminately, apportioning funds indiscriminately, and using their power to seek benefits for themselves and embezzlement, Niu Tiangou did not mention it, because he believed that as long as the people from above sent people down to investigate, these problems would naturally pull out the radishes and bring out the mud.

After the letter was written, Niu Tiangou took the time to find some of the villagers who had built the house and signed the two letters.
