Chapter 157 Solicitation of Comments
On the afternoon of May 4, Yue Haohan formally participated in the township party committee for the first time as a member of the township party committee, and at the party committee, the study and adoption of the Wulong Township Pilot Work Leading Group for Reducing the Burden on Farmers with Lin Ping as the team leader, Deng Xuanfa, Liu Huamin, Ma Yufei and Yue Haohan as the deputy team leader, the leading group has an office, and Yue Haohan is also the director of the office; Members are drawn from relevant units such as the township finance office, economic management station, forestry station, soil management office, and agricultural technology station.
At the meeting, according to Yue Haohan's suggestion, a number of specific working groups were set up under the leading group, and the office of the leading group was set up in the Heiyazi Management Area, and the pilot work of reducing the burden of the five administrative villages in the Heiyazi Management Area was carried out by the leading group office, and the office members who were transferred were all working in the Heiyazi Management Area.
After the burden reduction leading group was erected, the next day, policy training was conducted in the conference room of the township government for the personnel transferred from various units. In addition, the township party and government office has also formulated a pilot work plan for reducing the burden on peasants in the Heiyazi management area in accordance with the spirit of reducing the burden on the higher authorities and the successful experience of other places, and in light of the actual situation of Wulong Township. The pilot program mainly includes eight aspects:
First, agricultural taxation will remain unchanged in accordance with the state's tax policy. Taxes on special agricultural products and slaughter taxes must be levied on the basis of facts, and no targets must be issued to peasants, and they must not be evenly apportioned according to the number of people and acres of land. Agricultural tax and tax on special agricultural products shall not be levied twice.
Second, the village retention and township overall planning should be carried out in strict accordance with the policies of the higher levels, and should not exceed 5 percent of the peasants' per capita net income in the previous year. At the same time, in accordance with the principle of fairness and reasonableness, reform and improve the method of making provisions for village retention and township overall planning, so that those with high incomes bear more burdens and those with low incomes bear less burdens. The per capita net income of peasants calculated on the basis of townships has been changed to the per capita net income of peasants calculated on the basis of villages, and the fees for village retention and township co-ordination are to be calculated.
Third, the system of voluntary labor and labor accumulation undertaken by peasants is stable and unchanged. Voluntary labor and labor accumulation workers are mainly labor, and in principle, they must not be substituted for labor, and the village shall not issue a quota for substitution of labor.
Fourth, it is necessary to cancel all activities that require peasants to contribute money and materials to meet the standards. It is not allowed to deviate from the actual conditions in the rural areas, set unified standards and set unified indicators, and it is also forbidden to carry out disguised activities to meet standards and upgrade in the form of inspection, acceptance, and evaluation.
Fifth, it is strictly forbidden to engage in any form of fund-raising activities other than those prescribed by law in the pilot villages. Township governments and township departments shall not raise funds from farmers in pilot villages for construction projects such as roads, electricity, communications, education, radio and television.
Sixth, it is necessary to put an end to all arbitrary fees, fines, and price increases for farmers in the pilot villages. We should sort out all kinds of fees charged to farmers in pilot villages, prohibit illegal fines on farmers, cancel fines that have no basis in laws and regulations, and resolutely correct the erroneous practice of imposing fines on farmers for failing to complete their planting and breeding tasks.
Seventh, cancel all kinds of apportionment; Cancel the deposit and fine for building houses for farmers.
Eighth, it is forbidden to use the tools and means of dictatorship to collect money and goods from the peasants. All the money and goods that the peasants should pay should be determined in written form such as the peasants' burden supervision card or the contract contract, and the items and quantities should be clearly defined, and the peasants should consciously pay them, and they must not withhold and pay them to the village or the township as a whole when purchasing agricultural and sideline products.
As a matter of fact, Yue Haohan and Huang Zijian had prepared this pilot program long ago by drawing on the successful experiences of other places, but what was surprising was that when the pilot program was sent to all units directly under the township and the pilot village groups to solicit opinions, they received diametrically opposite opinions.
The villagers' representatives are very supportive of this pilot plan for reducing the burden, and most of the township units are opposed. Yue Haohan knew very well in his heart that the villagers supported it because if it was really implemented according to this plan, the burden on farmers throughout the year would be greatly reduced; The opposition of the township units is mainly due to the small group mentality, and if the plan is carried out according to the plan, they will no longer be so convenient to ask the peasants for money under the pretext of being able to arbitrarily stretch out their hands and impose fines.
In order to unify thinking, on the morning of 10 May, Yue Haohan notified the township units, the cadres of the pilot villages, and the representatives of the villagers of the pilot villages to hold a meeting to solicit opinions in the conference room of the township government.
At the beginning of the meeting, Yue Haohan first made an opening remark and said: Comrades, after the study of the county party committee and the county government, it has been decided to carry out the pilot work of lightening the peasants' burdens in the five administrative villages of the Heiyazi Management Area of our Wulong Township, and this is the trust of the county party committee and the county government in the cadres and masses of our Wulong Township, and we must do a good job in this pilot project and explore a way for the county party committee and the county government to lighten the peasants' burdens. It is convenient for us to report to the county government for approval after improvement.
After Yue Haohan's opening remarks, there was a cold scene in the conference room, everyone flipped through the draft of the plan in their hands, pretended to look, and saw that no one spoke first, Yue Haohan took a sip of tea, glanced at the people in the venue, and then fixed his eyes on Gu Peihua, the director of the Finance Institute, and said, Director Gu, you talk about your views first, how about it?
Gu Peihua, director of the finance department, is of medium stature, slightly chubby, nearly fifty years old, and is famous for his large alcohol consumption and bullish temper in Wulong Township; wine, every meal easily drinks a pound of liquor will not get drunk; temper, except for the secretary of the township party committee and the township mayor in his eyes, he does not put anyone in his eyes; Sometimes, even in front of Lin Ping, the township chief, he dares to play a bull's temper. Gu Peihua was transferred from the position of finance and trade director of the district government to the director of the finance and trade office of Wulong Township when he was withdrawn from the district to build a township in 87.
In townships and townships, the position of the finance office is very important among the seven stations and eight offices, and it has great power to manage the financial funds of the townships and towns and the collection and management of the four agricultural taxes. Although the director of finance in the township is only a cadre at the individual stock level, it can be said that he is a very small-level leader who does not enter the stream, but in most townships and towns, the invisible position of the director of the financial office, that is, the real power in his hands, is sometimes far above some deputy party and government positions in the township, that is to say, in the township, in terms of the actual power in his hands, the secretary and the township head are the director of the financial department, which is itself a strange phenomenon in the township system.
Gu Peihua relied on his age, old qualifications, and the director of the financial office who was well-known in the township, and usually didn't take Yue Haohan, the director of the party and government office, a hairy young man, in his eyes, and heard Yue Haohan call his name and let himself express his opinion, Gu Peihua threw the draft of the plan in his hand towards the conference table, and launched a prison exercise with a big grin, saying, the county party committee and the county government are really, so many townships and towns do not carry out pilot projects, why did they choose our Wulong Township to do it? The township party and government office is also Hu Qiu, I took a look at this preliminary burden reduction plan, and it is a very irresponsible plan!
When Gu Peihua said this, Yue Haohan looked at him with wide eyes, thinking to himself, is there something wrong with this Gu Peihua? As soon as he came up, he started scolding, scolded the county party committee and the county government, and openly accused the township party and government office, isn't this a slap in the face? It is said that Gu Peihua, the director of finance, and Yue Haohan can be regarded as a real insight today.
Gu Peihua paused, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and then said, First of all, I don't approve of the first article in the plan, what agricultural special product tax and slaughter tax must be collected according to the truth? Why should we not issue quotas to the peasants, and we must not divide them evenly according to the number of people and the acres of land? Hasn't this been the case for many years? If it is not evenly shared, how can the collection task issued by the county be completed? If income targets are not issued to the villages, what will so many cadres and workers in the township eat? Are the township government offices still functioning? Director Yue, tell me, do you have a party and government office that doesn't eat, drink, or support your family?
Gu Peihua seemed to be a little emotional, it seems that he is very resistant to the pilot work of burden reduction, with a black face, looking at Yue Haohan sitting across the conference table and asking questions, Yue Haohan smiled, looked at Gu Peihua calmly, and when Gu Peihua finished speaking, Yue Haohan said, Director Gu, don't be so excited, today to gather everyone together, is to listen to everyone's opinions and suggestions, burden reduction has always been a task that the central government and the local government attach great importance to, the county party committee and the county government can put the pilot project in our township, That is the great trust of our township cadres and masses, today we do not talk about whether the burden should be reduced, whether it should be piloted; To lighten the peasants' burdens, it is necessary to reduce them, and the pilot work in these five administrative villages in the Heiyazi Management Area must also be carried out.
After Yue Haohan finished speaking, Wang Haijin, director of the local management office, said, let me say a few words, I think the whole plan of the party and government office is made up behind closed doors, Director Yue, tell me, what if the peasants build houses if we don't take their deposits, and they don't occupy the land according to the plan? After the house is built, they will not be punished if they occupy more land area, isn't it all messy? I don't think there's any need to engage in this load reduction pilot!
As soon as Wang Haijin's words fell, Zhu Jinshan, the branch secretary of Longwanghe Village, loudly grabbed Wang Haijin and said, Director Wang, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, are you afraid that you won't be allowed to collect a deposit, you won't be fined, your land management office has no money to squander, when did you say that your land management office returned the deposit to the builders? Which house you haven't been fined for building a house?
Wang Haijin saw that Zhu Jinshan was ugly for him in public, exposing the ugliness of the soil management office, and he was very annoyed and patted the notebook in his hand towards the conference table, and said, Zhu Jinshan, see if you are a village party secretary, I don't care about you, I have always given you face, you don't know what to do, if you really say so, then your brother's building deposit will be handed over as a fine, and the house he built has been measured by us when we accepted it, and it occupies an area of two square meters.
Zhu Jinshan said, Wang Haijin, why do you say that my brother's house is overoccupied? I said that there is a problem with the tape measure of your soil management office, and the measurement area is not as much as you say! The leather ruler Hu Qiu pulled, saying that the over-occupation is over-occupied!
Seeing that Zhu Jinshan and Wang Haijin were arguing with each other in the venue, Yue Haohan's face was cold, and he raised his voice and said, This is a meeting! Pay attention to the discipline of the venue, everyone should not talk away, continue to express opinions around the township load reduction pilot program, and don't say anything off topic.
After Yue Haohan finished speaking, Zhu Jinshan took over and said, Director Yue, let me talk about my views, this pilot program for reducing the burden in the township, I have carefully read it several times, I think it is very good, I raise my hands to welcome, not only I think it is good, our villager representatives think it is very good, this plan is completely considered from the interests of our farmers, and it is also very in line with the spirit of burden reduction of the superiors.
Zhu Jinshan said in the end, staring at the position where Wang Haijin was sitting and scolding, Yue Haohan hurriedly stopped it in time, and said, Secretary Zhu, be civilized, this is a meeting, don't scold, what kind of system is this?
At this time, Gu Peihua, who was sitting next to Wang Haijin, put the cup in his hand on the table in front of him with an inopportune "clang", interrupted Yue Haohan's words, and said, There is also a JB meeting, seeing this Hu Qiu's plan, I am angry in my heart, and it is forbidden to use dictatorial tools and means to collect money and goods from farmers, and the people who are not ruthless will take the initiative to pay you money? What a joke! Director Yue, let your party and government office collect the taxes and fees of the whole township this year!
After Gu Peihua complained, he picked up his teacup and walked straight towards the outside of the conference room, without taking Yue Haohan, the director of the party and government office, into his eyes at all.
Huang Zijian, who was sitting next to Yue Haohan, hurriedly stood up and shouted to Gu Peihua, who had already walked to the door of the conference room: "Director Gu, Director Gu, don't leave yet, just say whatever you want!" ”
Gu Peihua didn't pay attention to Huang Zijian at all, didn't look back, walked out of the door of the meeting with a big grin, and left.
Yue Haohan glanced at the crowd in the venue, smiled, and said, it seems that today's consultation meeting will not be able to continue, so let's stop here, adjourn the meeting!
All the participants left, and only Yue Haohan and Huang Zijian were left in the conference room, Yue Haohan stood up with a cold face, and muttered to himself while cleaning up the notebook in front of him, saying, I don't know the current affairs!
Obviously, Yue Haohan was very angry today, thinking to himself, isn't it just a little township finance director, too ignorant of the rules, too undisciplined, and no water in his eyes! Although he is young, he is also a member of the township party committee appointed by the county party committee, and he will not let a financial director leave in public, even the original party secretary Wu Youde did not behave so excessively in front of him, not to mention the current He Anqing, Lin Ping and other existing team members.
In this world, sometimes the power of the individual, no matter how strong, is small compared to the whole society and the whole organization, like a leaf on the crest of the waves. Therefore, to be a person, you must be a person who knows current affairs, if you don't know current affairs, sooner or later you will fall into trouble, Gu Peihua is a person who doesn't know current affairs.
Yue Haohan held a notebook under his arm, a teacup in his hand, and when he went downstairs with Huang Zijian, he had secretly made up his mind in his heart, it seems that if you want to implement the burden reduction pilot, you must first remove the obstacles, since you Gu Peihua is happy, don't blame me Yue Haohan is not polite, then I will take you under the knife! Don't look at your relationship with He Anqing, I want to see if He Anqing can protect you, this time I let the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't protect you.
When he arrived at the office, Yue Haohan put down his notebook and teacup, thought about it, picked up the phone on the table and hung it up in He Anqing's office, and said, Secretary He, I am Haohan, I will go to Jiangyang to report our pilot plan to the county, and rush back tomorrow afternoon.
Putting down the phone, Yue Haohan said to Huang Zijian, Zijian, don't tell others what happened at today's meeting, you are on duty in the office for the past two days, and I will try to rush back tomorrow afternoon. If we don't change our brains, we'll change people!
