The next morning when it was almost six o'clock, Yue Haohan got up, took a cold shower, played Tai Chi in the small courtyard, and then took the iron gate of the yard and walked towards the street, the street of Guihuaping Township is a standard cross street, 316 National Highway and the provincial highway from Jianghan to Yanshan cross through the market town, although the sky has been bright, but there are no pedestrians on the street, as far as the eye can see, there are only two snack bars on the street, there are a few people who are in and out of the door to do breakfast.

Yue Haohan strolled to the vicinity of the police station, stood at the door of a snack bar and looked, a middle-aged woman in her forties who was busy beckoning, "Young man, what do you want to eat?" Our xiaolongbao is very authentic, how about a cage? ”

Yue Haohan smiled and walked to the door of the store, sat down in front of a square table on the side of the street, and asked, "Boss, how is your snack bar business?" ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at Yue Haohan and replied, "Eat with a mouthful of food, let's run it bleakly." As he spoke, he put the shredded ginger in front of Yue Haohan, and then said, "I'll give you a bowl of 100-meter porridge first, and the xiaolongbao will be ready immediately." ”

When the porridge was served, the middle-aged woman looked at Yue Haohan again and asked, "Young man, you are not from Guihuaping Township, why haven't I seen you, I look like you are from the city, or you are from the Hongqi Factory of the General Headquarters." ”

Yue Haohan was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, I am from Guihuaping Township, where do you see me as a native of the village?" ”

The middle-aged woman said: "I haven't seen you, and I don't look like a businessman, but like a scholar." ”

During the chat, a basket of xiaolongbao came up, Yue Haohan just picked up a xiaolongbao with chopsticks, and before he could eat it, he saw Yang Yong, the director of the police station, and several young policemen, jogging over from the direction of the middle school in sportswear, and when they arrived at Yue Haohan, Yang Yong greeted Yue Haohan and said, "Secretary Yue, you are so early in the morning; Sun Ximei's xiaolongbao is good, and I have a treat this morning. ”

The middle-aged woman who was busy paused, looked at Yang Yong, and asked, "Director Yang, is this Secretary Yue, who was newly transferred to our township?" So young? Look, I'm an old dizzy person, I don't know nobles, even a few of you at the police station this morning, count me as a treat! ”

Sun Ximei quickly made a few pickles, added a bowl of porridge to each of the police stations, and brought a few steamed buns; Everyone sat around eating steamed buns and drinking porridge; Sun Ximei was busy for a while, pulled over a chair, sat down in front of Yue Haohan and the others, and said, "Secretary Yue, you are a great nobleman!" I've heard of you a long time ago, you were transferred to our township as a secretary, and the people of Guihuaping Township have hope! ”

Yue Haohan raised his head, looked at Sun Ximei with questioning eyes, and asked, "Oh, Boss Sun, do you know me?" ”

Sun Ximei smiled and said: "Secretary Yue, I haven't seen you, but I've heard a lot about you, my mother's family is from the third group of Longwanghe Village, Wulong Township, my father's name is Sun Qingfeng, my nephew's name is Sun Yonglei, he is studying at Jianghan University." “

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "No wonder, I am familiar with your father and your nephew, and your father's health is okay." “

Sun Ximei said: "Fortunately, every time I go back to my parents' house, my father will talk to you, saying that your secretary Yue is a good person, and my mother's side of this year's three mentions and five unifications are much less than in previous years, and everyone says that it is your credit; Secretary Yue, you are here to be the secretary, will our Guihuaping Township also reduce the retention money! “

Yue Haohan smiled and didn't answer, diverted the topic, asked Sun Ximei, and said, "Your family lives in a market town?" ”

Sun Ximei said: "My mother-in-law's family is from Wangshan Village, my man fell his leg on the construction site the year before last and was disabled, and he couldn't do farm work. ”

After eating, Yue Haohan checked out, Sun Ximei never accepted the money handed over by Yue Haohan, or Yang Yong from the police station said: "Boss Sun, if you don't collect the money, Secretary Yue won't come to eat again another day, so Sun Ximei accepted the money." ”

Walking on the road, Yue Haohan asked Yang Yong and said, "Director Yang, is there anything else to do today?" ”

Yang Yong replied, "Nothing special. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay, you go back to the office to prepare, accompany me to the village today, don't wear a police uniform, just wear civilian clothes." ”

After going to work, Yue Haohan discussed with the head of the township, Li Qinggui, and then took Yang Yong, the head of the police station, and Sun Jie from the party and government office, to get into the jeep in the township and drive towards the Wangshan Management Area.

Although there is only a dozen kilometers from the township government to the Wangshan management area, it is purely a mountain road winding along a small river, the jeep is bumpy and drives very slowly, when the car turns a foot of a mountain, a village in front of him appears in front of him, Yang Yong introduced Yue Haohan and said: "Secretary Yue, the village in front is Zhaojiazhuang Village." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Let's go to the village and have a look." ”

The jeep stopped in front of a farmhouse at the head of the village, and as soon as everyone got out of the car, they heard a loud noise coming from a house not far away, Yue Haohan turned his head to look at Yang Yong, and said, "What's the matter?" Director Yang, let's go over and take a look. ”

When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw several people who looked like village cadres, pulling two pigs in the pigsty of that family, the male owner and the village cadre were tearing and making noise, and the hostess was sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

Seeing Yue Haohan and his party coming, a village cadre standing next to him recognized Yang Yong, the head of the police station, and said loudly: "Director Yang, you came just in time, the Zhao family is all anti-tax and scolding, your police station has to be the master of our village cadres!" ”

Yang Yong didn't answer the person's words, introduced Yue Haohan, and said, "Secretary Yue, that's Zhao Guihua, the village director of Zhaojiazhuang Village. Then Yang Yong shouted loudly at Zhao Guihua, who was pulling pigs, and shouted: "Zhao Guihua, are you blind?" Secretary Yue, don't you see it here? ”

Zhao Guihua hurriedly dropped the piglet he was holding in his hand, took out a cigarette from his body, came to Yue Haohan, took out a cigarette, handed it to Yue Haohan, and said: "Secretary Yue, you smoke, it's really sorry not to go, I didn't attend the meeting of the township government yesterday, so I don't know you, don't blame you!" ”

Yue Haohan had a cold face, did not take the cigarette, and asked coldly: "Who asked you to pull the pig?" ”

Zhao Guihua replied: "He owes taxes and doesn't call it, and the township is urging him tightly, so he has to take such tough measures against these people!" ”

The Zhao family came to Yue Haohan in a huff, and defended loudly: "He lied, my two taxes on agriculture were paid off last month, and I don't owe a penny, I don't owe a penny, farm the land to save grain, and lead the children to be on errands, I understand this truth, but you Zhao Guihua Hu asks for calculations, and my Zhao family will not pay a cent for the money that Hu asks for more." ”

Zhao Guihua saw Zhao Jiaquan stalking his neck to defend himself, so he scolded: "Mom Zhao Jiaquan, who said that you paid special agricultural tax last month?" You paid the retention money last month, and the special agricultural tax is still owed in the account, so you ask the village accountant Zhao Guishan to open the account book for you to calculate. ”

Zhao Jiaquan replied loudly: "I don't look at your bad accounts, who doesn't know that you and Zhao Guishan have one nostril to breathe, who knows how your accounts are fabricated?" To check the accounts, we will elect the villagers' representatives today through Secretary Yue in the township and Director Yang of the police station, and check your bad debts to see how much money you Zhao Guihua has embezzled us in the past few years? Do you dare to let our representatives of the masses check the accounts? “

Seeing that the two were arguing again, Yue Haohan said to several village cadres with an angry face: "From today onwards, within the scope of Guihuaping Township, it is absolutely forbidden to pull pigs, lead sheep, or pick up grain from the masses!" With that, he turned around and walked towards where the jeep was parked.

The car started again, Yue Haohan was silent on the road, and when he arrived at the management area, the anger in his heart had not disappeared; Yuan Zhidong, secretary of the management area, and Zhao Sanqiang, director of the management area, received a phone call in advance and waited for Yue Haohan and his party in the management area.

Everyone stood in the courtyard of the management area for a meeting, and when they arrived at Yuan Zhidong's office, after taking a seat, Yuan Zhidong took a serious posture to report to Yue Haohan, Yue Haohan waved his hand and said: "Secretary Yuan, I won't listen to your other reports, you can introduce the situation in Zhaojiazhuang Village to me."

Yuan Zhidong paused, coughed twice, and said: "Zhaojiazhuang Village, this Zhaojiazhuang Village is a well-known difficult village in our Wangshan Management Area, there are a few Diao people in the village who have complained all year round, making the village restless, and the annual tax collection in the past few years, the township has to live in the village for ten days and a half months. “

Yue Haohan frowned, looked at Yuan Zhidong with a serious face, and asked, "Secretary Yuan, tell me what Diao Min is?" Is it the common people who make the village restless, or is it our expropriation team that makes the village restless? ”

Yuan Zhidong is about fifty years old, and he has been the secretary of the general party branch of the management area for many years. In Yuan Zhidong's mind, the young Yue Haohan didn't know about rural work at all, and although he was respectful to Yue Haohan on the surface, he actually didn't take Yue Haohan seriously in his heart.

Seeing that Yuan Zhidong opened his mouth in embarrassment and didn't know what to say, Zhao Sanqiang, the director of the management area sitting next to him, took over and said: "Secretary Yue, you just came here and didn't understand the situation, Zhao Jiahe, secretary of the village branch of Zhaojiazhuang, is a little weak at work, and Zhao Guihua, the village director, is okay, has a strong style, and can pull down his face to carry out his work." “

Yue Haohan interrupted Zhao Sanqiang's words and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, I want to know first, how many people are in Zhaojiazhuang Village, how much is the cultivated area, how many special agricultural tax tasks are in the village, how many are the three mentions and five unifications, and what is the per capita burden?" ”

Yuan Zhidong took over and replied: "There are more than 1,800 people in Zhaojiazhuang Village, 1,200 mu of paddy fields, and more than 1,300 mu of dry land. ”

Yue Haohan silently calculated in his heart and said, "In this way, the per capita burden of Zhaojiazhuang Village this year has reached more than two hundred per person? ”

Sun Jie next to him interjected: "Secretary Yue, that's not all, Zhaojiazhuang Village also applied to the township to raise 200,000 yuan this year, saying that it was for the construction of a village primary school, and the township has approved it, plus the 200,000, the average person is more than 300." ”

Yue Haohan asked: "Didn't the office of the county's leading group for reducing the burden on peasants issue a document this year?" Aren't all towns and towns in the county allowed to collect funds from farmers this year? We Guihuaping Township did not receive this document? ”

Yue Haohan said: "Secretary Yuan, Director Zhao, let me emphasize here first, all the villages in your Wangshan Management Area have fund-raising assessments, and they will stop collecting them first, and after I go back from investigation and discuss with Township Chief Li, the party committee will make a formal decision." ”

On the first day of going to the village to understand the situation, Yue Haohan's mood was very heavy, and he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, how to grasp the situation of the whole township as soon as possible, and how to carry out the work became an urgent matter in front of Yue Haohan. “

Wangshan management area is located in Wangshan Village, is a low-lying small basin, the east of the basin is the Black Stone Mountain, over the Black Stone Mountain is the Black Stone Mountain Village of Wulong Township, in the afternoon Yue Haohan visited several households in Wangshan Village, everyone's biggest opinion is that Wangshan Village and Wulong Township of the Black Stone Mountain Village is only a mountain apart, but the burden of the people of the Black Stone Mountain Village is only more than 100 far, and the burden of the people of Wangshan Village is nearly 300 yuan.

In the evening, at the village department of Wangshan Village, Yue Haohan convened some party members and representatives of the masses and held a forum, at which the representatives talked about the burden the most, and some of the deputies raised the problem of opaque village finances. When everyone learned that the pilot project of reducing the burden in Heishi Mountain Village on the other side of the mountain was carried out by Yue Haohan there, they asked to implement it in this village, Yue Haohan just patiently listened to everyone's opinions and did not express his position to everyone easily.
