In the afternoon, Yue Haohan returned to the township, just poured a glass of water in the office and sat down, deputy secretary Hou Ximing and deputy township head Wang Wenjie came in with a notebook, Wang Wenjie still had a stack of materials in hand, the two sat down on the sofa, Hou Ximing asked: "Secretary Yue, did Township Chief Li not come back with you?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "Township Chief Li went to the county education committee after the meeting, and ate at the education committee at noon, I estimate that he drank too much at noon." ”

Hou Ximing said: "Then don't wait for Township Chief Li, I will report to you with Township Chief Wang, these days Township Chief Wang has come up with a plan to clean up and audit the finances of all villages in the township, I think the township should also set up a leading group, who do you think is the appropriate team leader?" ”

Yue Haohan took the materials handed over by Wang Wenjie, looked through them casually, put them on the desk, and said: "I think that the leader of the financial audit leading group is still Li Wenyong and Secretary Li of the Township Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the organization committee members Yu Haitao, Wenjie Township Mayor and Yuguo Township Mayor are the deputy leaders, and the members are drawn from the township finance office and the economic management stationIt is necessary to seriously deal with violations of discipline and law by village and group cadres. “

Hou Ximing and Wang Wenjie recorded in their notebooks seriously, Yue Haohan paused, took a few sips of water from his teacup, and then said: "In the past two days, the head of Wenjie Township has to spend more effort to take out the pilot program for reducing the burden on farmers in the township, and I will personally serve as the leader of the leading group for the pilot work of reducing the burden on farmers; Township Chief Li served as the first deputy leader, other team members served as deputy leaders, and the leading group set up an office, with Fan Changhe, the head of the economic management station, as the director of the office. ”

After arranging the work, Yue Haohan picked up the materials brought by Wang Wenjie on the table, shook it in his hand, and said: "I will take a look at this village-level financial clean-up and audit plan, and the clean-up and audit of the village's finances is to prepare for the pilot work of reducing the burden. “

Two days later, the joint meeting of the party and government groups of Guihuaping Township was officially held, and Xu Mingqiang, director of the Township Finance Office, and Fan Changhe, head of the Township Economic Management Station, attended the meeting. The meeting was presided over by Deputy Secretary Hou Ximing, and Yue Haohan, Secretary of the Township Party Committee, delivered a speech.

Yue Haohan said: "Today's joint meeting of the party and government groups was proposed by me, and the main topic of the meeting was to clean up and audit the finances of the whole village, and to require all the village-level finances to be published to the public, and to accept the supervision of the masses, so that the masses can understand where the money they have handed over is being used. At the same time, it will also give the village cadres a clean slate, which will play a certain role in harmonizing the relationship between the cadres and the masses in Guihuaping Township and putting an end to the breeding of corruption, and will clear the way for our next step in the pilot work of reducing the burden on peasants. I hope that every member of the team will take the floor to share his views on the work of cleaning up and auditing village finances.

This is actually a meeting to unify thinking among the township party and government groups, and it is a pre-war mobilization meeting, which can be said to be the second fire that Yue Haohan burned after coming to Guihuaping Township and following the construction of cadres' work style; Yue Haohan's opening remarks made the inner thoughts of each team member present different, some secretly clapped their hands, some really appreciated, and some were psychologically uneasy, especially some team members colluded with certain village cadres to squander and embezzle village-level funds, and they were even more psychologically full of anxiety.

After Yue Haohan finished speaking, Li Qinggui, the head of the township, continued to speak, Li Qinggui coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said: "Let me make a statement, in fact, we are doing the clean-up and auditing of village-level finances every year, and every year the township economic management station will regularly organize professionals to clean up and audit the finances of each village, but the audit results have not been publicized to the masses, why is it not publicized?" The main reason is to take into account the stability factor, the quality of the masses is low, and some sensitive expenditures in the village-level finances are publicized, and they will take the opportunity to make trouble out of context, which will cause instability to the village; I suggest that this settlement involves sensitive expenditures, and when it comes to publicity, is there a technical treatment? Either this part of the expenditure should not be made public, and our township leaders should grasp the situation. “

What do you mean? Isn't this facing the secretary Yue Haohan? Li Qinggui's few words that were not salty or indifferent, obviously deviated from Yue Haohan's intention of cleaning up and auditing village-level finances, and considered stability one by one, could it be that stability was realized by covering the lid? Yue Haohan listened, and his face slowly became serious.

Hou Ximing, deputy secretary of the party committee who presided over the meeting, listened to the speech of the township mayor Li Qinggui, and secretly glanced at Yue Haohan, who had a serious face, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that it is time for me to appear, and Li Qinggui must not be allowed to lead the meaning of today's meeting to the side." ”

Thinking of this, when Li Qinggui finished speaking, Hou Ximing said in a loud voice: "After listening to Township Chief Li's speech just now, I have a few thoughts, one is that Township Chief Li mentioned that the economic management station audits the finances of each village every year, how is it audited? It's not that after the villages themselves have leveled out the income and expenditure of the year, a report will be handed over to the township economic management station and it will be finished, is it so? Fan Changhe, you talk about it. “

Sitting next to Xu Mingqiang, director of the financial office, Fan Changhe, the head of the economic management station, who was carefully recording, heard the deputy secretary Hou Ximing call his name, raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and saw Yue Haohan, the party secretary sitting next to Hou Ximing, looking at himself with a serious face, Fan Changhe was nervous, stood up with a red face, and replied in a small voice: "Secretary Hou, the main reason is that our economic management station is not manpowered, and there are so many villages in the township, and they are too busy. Our economic management station then randomly inspects and audits a village in each management area. ”

After Fan Changjun finished answering, Hou Ximing raised his right hand and pressed it down, motioning for Fan Changhe to sit down; Hou Ximing continued: "The second point I want to talk about is that Township Chief Li mentioned a word called "sensitive expenditure" just now, what is sensitive expenditure? Isn't it these expenses that the cadres wantonly squander, spend indiscriminately, and use indiscriminately? There are even funds embezzled and misappropriated by village cadres, and some people are definitely unwilling to publicize these expenditures and let the masses know! ”

Hou Ximing's words are full of gunpowder, the team members have not seen Hou Ximing speak like this at the team meeting, it is reasonable, every sentence is like a knife, when Hou Ximing held a meeting in the past, he was all smiling, and when it was his turn to speak, his voice was not loud, and he didn't feel pain or itching, and he looked like no one would be offended; Why are you going crazy today? Or is it the head of the township, Li Qinggui, who wants to make a stand in front of Yue Haohan? Isn't it, they're all so old, can they still climb up?

Yue Haohan was very grateful to Hou Ximing for this speech, and thought to himself that if Hou Ximing had not spoken in time and blocked Li Qinggui's thoughts, and if other team members echoed Li Qinggui's views, then today's meeting would not have achieved its goal.

After Hou Ximing finished speaking, the team members spoke in turn, no one put forward different opinions, and the meeting finally adopted the "Notice on the Audit of Guihuaping Township Village-level Financial Implementation Plan" and "Notice on the Establishment of Guihuaping Village-level Financial Audit Leading Group" two documents.

Three days later, the township meeting was held, and the meeting was held for a whole morning, first by the township discipline inspection committee secretary Li Wenyong read out the "Notice on the Audit of the Village-level Financial Implementation Plan of Guihuaping Township" at the meeting, and then the organization member Yu Haitao read out the "Notice on the Establishment of the Guihuaping Village-level Financial Audit Leading Group", and then Yue Haohan made a mobilization speech.

Yue Haohan said: "Comrades, I have been to Guihuaping Township for more than a month, in this more than a month, I have been to all 21 administrative villages in the township, although it is a sightseeing experience, but the phenomenon I have seen, still makes me sleep, 90% of the farmers I visited are still very poor; Some are even struggling under the food and clothing line, but such a group of people have to pay all kinds of taxes, fees, and assessments every year, and the average person reaches more than 200 yuan, more than 200 yuan, comrades! There is a village in our Wangshan Management Area, and the average person is as high as more than 300 yuan, and the people can't afford to pay the money, so the cadres pull pigs, lead sheep, and pick up grain; Who gave you the right to do so? At today's meeting, I once again reiterate that from now on, there can be no more such behavior in our Guihuaping Township! “

The sonorous and powerful voice attracted a round of applause from the audience, Yue Haohan paused, and after the applause, he continued: "In December last year, the higher authorities issued the "Regulations on the Management of Peasants' Bearing Costs and Labor Services", have we implemented them? Article 2 of the regulations clearly stipulates that the expenses and labor services borne by the peasants refer to the village retention and township overall planning fees, rural voluntary labor, and labor accumulation workers borne by the peasants in accordance with laws and regulations, in addition to paying taxes and fulfilling the state's agricultural product ordering tasks. In addition, those who ask farmers to provide any financial, material, and labor services free of charge are illegal acts, and farmers have the right to refuse. In addition to the regulations, how much have we increased the weight to farmers? How much was apportioned? Did you know that this was illegal? “

Yue Haohan's continuous rhetorical questions made the responsible persons of the township units sitting below, as well as the cadres and village cadres of the management area, sweat on their heads when they heard this, everyone did not expect that the young secretary of the township party committee would speak so sharply, not to mention the sharp speech, and the policy level was still very high. In particular, Fan Changhe, the head of the economic management station, muttered in his heart: "How can Secretary Yue have such a clear grasp of the policy of burdening peasants, no wonder he became the secretary of the township party committee at such a young age." ”

In fact, Fan Changhe knew that Yue Haohan had been concerned about the burden of farmers since he had an exchange with Zhang Jianshe at the training class for the selection and transfer of students at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee; After going to work in Wulong Township, combined with actual work, he also wrote a very important paper involving the burden of peasants, which was published in the magazine "Party Building in South China", not to mention that before Yue Haohan became secretary of the party committee of Guihuaping Township, he was also a member of the county's leading group for reducing the burden of peasants, and it can be said that no one knows the situation of peasants' burdens in Jiangyang County better than Yue Haohan.

When Fan Changhe, the head of the economic management station, was thinking nonsense, he heard Yue Haohan on the stage continue to speak: "The second chapter of the regulations clearly stipulates the standards and scope of use of village retention, township co-ordination fees, and labor services; From Article 6 to Article 11, the provisions are clear, and we all refer to the regulations, whether the money we have collected is reasonable or not? Is it used as required? I suggest that everyone study and study the "Regulations on the Management of Peasants' Bearing Expenses and Labor Services," and after the meeting, the economic management station will print the regulations into a booklet, distribute a copy to each cadre, and organize everyone to study them seriously. “

Yue Haohan's words made Li Qinggui, the township chief next to him, sit on pins and needles, as if every sentence was aimed at Li Qinggui, don't look at Li Qinggui's long-term work in the countryside, and have been the township chief for many years, when it comes to the level of policy, he sighs that he is too far from Yue Haohan, and Li Qinggui really hasn't read the "Regulations on the Management of Peasants' Borne Expenses and Labor Services" seriously and completely.

The effect of the meeting was surprisingly good, after the meeting, the cadres and village cadres of the management area, some of them were smiling, some were sullen, and the content of the meeting quickly spread throughout the township, and the masses knew about it, they all applauded, looking forward to the implementation of the burden reduction policy in their villages as soon as possible.

Even more anxious villagers couldn't wait to find the township government and asked to start checking the accounts from their own village; On the afternoon of the day after the meeting, more than a dozen villagers from Zhaojiazhuang Village, Wangshan Management Area, under the leadership of Zhao Jiaquan, came to the township government and found Yue Haohan, secretary of the party committee.

Yue Haohan warmly received these villagers, and Zhao Jiaquan pleaded in front of Yue Haohan: "Secretary Yue, the people of Zhaojiazhuang Village, after hearing the spirit of the morning meeting, elected several of our representatives to come and ask Secretary Yue to send someone to start checking the accounts from our village. ”

Yue Haohan said: "The township has studied and decided that Li Wenyong, secretary of the Township Commission for Discipline Inspection, will lead the accountants of the township finance office and the economic management station to start clearing the accounts in the villages where there are many problems and the masses have a great response. ”

This news made the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang rejoice!

Seeing off the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang Village, Yue Haohan looked at Fan Jiaxue, who was busy cleaning up his office, and suddenly a strange thought popped up in his heart, Yue Haohan knocked on the desk, and said to Fan Jiaxue, who turned his head to look at him: "Jiaxue, are you familiar with the situation in Zhaojiazhuang Village?" ”

Fan Jiaxue replied: "I am familiar, my brother-in-law is from Zhaojiazhuang Village." ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said: "Okay, Jiaxue, since you are familiar with the situation in Zhaojiazhuang Village, I want you to participate in the Zhaojiazhuang Village Clearing Group and participate in the account clearing of Zhaojiazhuang Village, are you willing?" ”

Fan Jiaxue scratched his head with a smile and replied: "Willing is willing, Secretary Yue, but you know that we are pig feeders in the army, and we don't understand the account, you let me participate in it, isn't it to catch ducks on the shelves?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "I let you participate, not to let you personally check the accounts, the accountants of the financial office and the economic management station will check the accounts, as well as the representatives elected by the masses, I will let you go, mainly to let you understand the thoughts of the masses and observe the movements and practices of the village cadres, understand?" ”

Fan Jiaxue's eyes rolled, and he happily agreed: "I understand Secretary Yue, I will definitely complete this task." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay, after I discuss with Secretary Hou and Secretary Li, you will go to Zhaojiazhuang Village with the settlement team." ”
