Chapter 239: Suspension and Reflection

readx; Although the 25% he proposed is still far from the 5% demanded by the central government. However www.biquge.info compared with the overstretched village, township, and county finances, it is a fund that can barely maintain the operation of the three-level departments.

If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster, and the satellite released by the county magistrate Tashiro made Cao Weixin realize the seriousness of the problem. He immediately asked for an adjournment of the meeting, and while asking the secretary to report the situation to Liu Dongchuan, secretary of the municipal party committee, he summoned the members of the Standing Committee of the Hulin County Party Committee to the cinema office to hold a temporary standing committee.

Regarding Tian Wenjian's statement, Zhao Runze still agrees with it from the bottom of his heart. No one dared to agree with him. He knew that he would toss some movement to divert the attention of the Longjiang Branch of Southern Biotechnology Group, but he never expected that Tian Wenjian would not open any pot and pick farmers to bear this big hornet's nest.

The drop in the peasants' burden to 25 percent of last year's average peasant income means that nearly 800 million yuan less taxes and fees will be levied this year than last year. Not only will it be impossible to give an account to the municipal party committee and municipal axe that has been apportioned at all levels, but it will also lead to the complete paralysis of the departments at the two levels in the villages.

The mayor presided over the meeting, and Ge Bohua, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and Wu Shucheng, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, did not dare to put on the old shelf anymore, their waists were straight, they were holding paper and pens in their hands, and they looked respectful and respectful, ready to record at any time. Tian Wenjian sat beside Zhao Runze expressionlessly, looking at the documents sent by Ye Kefan, while smoking a cigarette.

Cao Weixin observed him for nearly ten minutes, then knocked on the table and said lightly: "Comrade Tian Wenjian spoke very thoroughly at the meeting just now, which can be said to be thought-provoking!" The peasants and the rural areas are the foundation of our governance, and if the foundation is not firm, the earth will be shaken. The countryside is unstable, and the world is difficult to determine.

It is our unshirkable responsibility to serve as an official for one term, to benefit one party, and to let the people get rid of poverty and become rich. The eyes of the common people are looking at us, and their mouths are waiting for us. Therefore, I can't always think about getting promoted, and I always envy others for getting rich. We should have in our hearts how much grain the people have in their warehouses and how much money they have in their pockets. Strive to practice 'there are blessings for the people to enjoy, and there are difficulties for officials to block'...... All in all, it is to let the people live a good life step by step, and not let the people point at our backbones behind our backs and scold [***]......"

After a burst of applause, Cao Weixin's face turned straight, stared at Tian Wenjian's eyes, and then said: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, the municipal party committee and municipal government will definitely support you on the issue of burden reduction, but I still ask you to come up with a set of practical and feasible plans for reducing the burden, and implement it step by step and step by step without affecting social stability. ”

What does it mean to live within your means? To put it bluntly, it is how much money you have, how many people you use, and how many things you do. This means that the county magistrate Tashiro has pushed himself to the opposite side of the vast majority of Hulin cadres because of the burden reduction.

How could Tian Wenjian not know this? It is precisely because he clearly understands that in the face of this powerful vested interest group, what conscience, sense of justice, kneeling, begging, and crying are...... All of this is just bullshit, and it simply cannot form the power of a sustained and effective game.

In his view, the choice of the path to solve the "three rural" problems is very important. It is not enough to tell the truth, it is not enough to have compassion, a sense of justice, and a conscience, even if you add self-deprecating kneeling and masochistic pleading, it is still far from enough! Moreover, peasants do not need and cannot live on handouts.

Only then did he take advantage of the central government's policy of reducing the burden and taking advantage of the opportunity of the secret investigation of the Southern Science and Technology Group to "remove the head and pinch the tail" of Hulin, where the ratio of government to the people was as high as 1:17, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of excessive burdens on peasants.

The slogans can be shouted one by one, and the high-profile ones can be sung. Tian Wenjian did not think that Cao Weixin would really care about the peasants, in fact, in this period of economic construction as the center, looking at the entire Longjiang River, Li Zhiqiang was the only one who really cared about the peasants.

Seeing everyone staring at him in unison, Tian Wenjian coughed dryly twice, and said with unusual solemnity: "Mayor Cao, the per capita net income of our farmers in 997 was 1,910 yuan, and the total amount of taxes and fees paid by farmers in 98 accounted for 183~261% of the per capita income of the previous year, which was 36 times that of no more than 5% stipulated by the central government, which greatly exceeded the economic bearing capacity of farmers.

Those who have enough to hand over to the country will keep enough for the collective, and the rest will be their own...... The contract responsibility system for joint production has made hundreds of millions of peasants rejoice. But now that you have enough to pay to the country and keep enough for the collective, you must also paste the blood and tears money earned by going out to work. The burden has increased, and the price of food has fallen year by year, so that the food system is not levied according to the national protective price.

To put it mildly, the land, which is regarded as the life of the peasants, has become the heaviest burden on the peasants, and the contract responsibility system for joint production, which was once joyful, has become a shackle around the peasants' necks. ”

The scissors are poor and binary, making the peasants second-class citizens. If you are born in a market town or city, you don't want to be burdened by people. How unfair it is to be born in the countryside and pay a capitation fee of a few hundred yuan every year!

Freezing three feet, not a cold. The central government is helpless about these problems, what can I, a little mayor, do? Cao Weixin sighed secretly, Okita Wenjian pressed his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said.

"I went down for a walk a few days ago, and what I saw and heard can be said to be shocking."

Tian Wenjian lit a cigarette and said meaningfully while looking around at everyone: "I met a big grain grower in Tangming Township, and he told me that he planted 30 acres of land last year, not only did he not make money, but he posted more than 2,000 yuan.

After learning about the protective prices of grain purchases in the township in recent years, we learned that the protective prices of early, medium, and late rice in 95 were 60 yuan, 80 yuan, and 82 yuan per 100 catties, respectively, and in 97 years, they were 55 yuan, 65 yuan, and 65 yuan, respectively, while last year's protective prices were 47 yuan, 54 yuan, and 54 yuan respectively.

Comrades, this is just a protective price! In fact, the purchase price in our county has never exceeded 40 yuan. Bumper yields are not harvested, the more you plant, the more you lose, who will farm in the long run? ”

The reason for this situation is nothing more than the heavy burden and low food prices. Hulin County can't control the price of grain, and at most it can only buy it at the national protective price. There is no doubt that Tashiro County Governor has his eyes on this part of the burden.

Cao Weixin put down the pen and paper, glanced at Zhao Runze, and then said lightly: "Go on, go on." ”

Ding Muxi, a farmer in Sanmen Township, told me that last year, his family did not plant fruit trees, nor did he open a fish pond, and raised two pigs that had not yet been sold, but he paid 96 yuan in special agricultural products tax and 35 yuan in pig slaughtering tax. At first, I didn't believe it, but after visiting a few households, I found out that there was a rule in the township that every family had to pay a special product tax and a slaughter tax.

As for this slaughter tax, those who don't raise one head will pay it at one end, those who raise one head will pay it at two ends, and those who raise two heads will pay it at three ends, and you have to pay it anyway. During the Chinese New Year, the common people don't have a few pieces of meat in their bowls, and they have to pay slaughter tax, what is this called? ”

The more Tian Wenjian spoke, the more excited he became, he simply stood up, gathered around the conference table and continued: "Everyone, less than 20% of the students in Sanmen Township can go to high school!" Many girls didn't graduate from junior high school, so they went south to work. Where is the job? Go sell meat! I met two girls, one 18 years old and the other 16 years old, who had been 'working' outside the home for two years, and the family relied on the income of these two girls to pay taxes and fees, support the whole family, and pay for their mother's medicine.

What else do the peasants have? There is a home, but the home cannot be returned, and more than half of the adults in our county have been working outside for a living for many years; If there is land, the land does not dare to plant, and the land is at a loss. There are old people, and they can't fulfill their filial piety; If you have children, you can't become a talent. A lifetime of hard work has provided for us cadres!

On the contrary, some of our cadres do not regard the peasants as human beings. You have not experienced how hard the peasants are now, you don't know what they are thinking now, you don't have a sincere relationship with them, you don't know. You can't believe it, but yesterday a peasant told me that if someone led a rebellion, he would respond positively, even if it was to go to jail or kill his head. Because what he has lost is poverty, chains, and humility, and what he desires is well-off, freedom, and dignity! ”

"It's not that serious, is it?" As soon as Tian Wenjian finished speaking, Duan Cheng coughed dryly twice, with a nonchalant expression.

It's such a thing that can't be held up and can't stick to the wall! Cao Weixin glared at him fiercely, and said expressionlessly: "County Magistrate Tian, please continue." ”

Tian Wenjian nodded heavily, and while looking through the folder, he said solemnly: "We still take Sanmen Township as an example, in 90 years, there were only 120 cadres who ate taxes and fees, and now there are more than 340 people, and this growth momentum cannot be controlled, the new leaders can not withstand internal and external pressure, and have to abuse their power to arrange a group of people to eat 'imperial money'. The government takes it from the people, and the people take it from the soil, and it falls on the water and hits the mud, how can the peasants stand it?

Zhao Runze interjected and said thoughtfully: "Many township cadres are very serious in kinship, just in such a big place, Lao Tzu is the leader, and sons, girls, sons-in-law, and nephews are all cadres together. The masses called it 'one person is an official, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'. ”

Tian Wenjian turned around, stared at Cao Weixin's eyes, and said solemnly: "There are more than 13,800 people in the county who eat 'imperial grain', how many of them can run a good business?" How many people know a little bit about technology? How many people will manage? And how many people can sit down and have a mass meeting?

In my opinion, more than 60% of cadres resting at home is a contribution, and going to work is a burden to the people! The common people say that they are useless and are cadres! Why do we enjoy the offerings and milk of the Hulin villagers, because we are [***] cadres, because the people still have deep feelings for [***]. However, we must not trample on the party's image in the eyes of the masses in this way.

Mayor Cao, we, who are known as the servants of the people, have become the masters of the people. And the people of Hulin became slaves to be ruled. The villagers of Hulin are already destitute, and our cadres have dragged them down and collapsed, and it is our turn to do our filial piety to them! ”

More than 60 percent of the cadres went home to rest, and this figure stunned Cao Weixin, and he was stunned for a while before he said thoughtfully: "It is easy to reduce the burden and clear the retreat, but we also have to consider the aftermath." ”

"County Magistrate Tian, we can understand your feelings, but this matter is too extensive and too risky, and if you are not careful, there will be big problems."

"I agree with Deputy Secretary Duan's opinion, the stable and prosperous situation in Hulin is not easy to come by, and it must not be extraneous at this time."

"Freezing three feet is not cold. County Magistrate Tian, you should think about it again. ”

………… Tian Wenjian was not surprised by the reaction of the Standing Committee members, and even made preparations for a long time. Seeing that everyone, including Han Shishan, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, opposed his drastic burden reduction, Tian Wenjian pulled over the chair, sat down with a big grin, and said casually: "I have already let the TV station broadcast this year's tax collection standard. In order to prevent some people from collecting fees in violation of regulations, I also asked the Legislative Affairs Office to print and distribute tens of thousands of copies of the "Guide to Reducing the Burden on Peasants" to the masses of the people free of charge. ”

"A Guide to Reducing the Burden on Farmers?"

"It's a guide to reducing the burden."

Tian Wenjian nodded, and while looking around at everyone, he smiled proudly: "The "Guide" includes all the documents of the central government on reducing the burden, and also includes the contact information of the petition departments at all levels and the major domestic media. ”

Looking at the incredible appearance of everyone, the county magistrate Tashiro flipped through for a long time before he took out a booklet from his briefcase, and said with a smile: "That's it, the policies and regulations are very comprehensive, and at the same time, it also points out the methods and ways for farmers to solve the problem of burden: one boycotts, two reports, three applications for administrative reconsideration, four filing administrative lawsuits, and five letters and visits ......."

Cao Weixin's face turned blue with anger, pointed to the booklet in his hand, and asked angrily: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"Yes." The county magistrate Tashiro had a very innocent expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Is there any problem with implementing the spirit of the central rural work?" Mayor Cao. ”

There has never been a savior in the world, and he can't be the acting county magistrate for a few days. As far as the peasants are concerned, it is useless and will not yield results if they wait for others to show mercy, but they can only consciously unite, strengthen their study, enhance their consciousness, make full use of the existing laws and the grassroots election system, and constantly strive to fight for the rights and interests that originally belonged to them but have not been fulfilled for a long time!

The consciousness of the people in the old areas is very high, and Tian Wenjian believes that the "Guide to Reducing the Burden on Peasants," which is stamped with the big seal of the people's political axe of Hulin County, can fundamentally solve some problems.

Of course, Cao Weixin also understands this truth, and he is not allowed to reduce the burden. Instead, they are worried that the rural departments at the two levels will be paralyzed after the burden is reduced, and they are worried that other counties and cities will rely on the gourd to draw scoops, which will directly affect the revenue of the city finance. At the same time, he is also worried that those who have been dismissed due to financial pressure will make trouble, after all, stability is paramount, and if something really goes wrong in Longjiang, he, the mayor, will not be able to escape.

If you say it and splash it out, the impact has already been created, and denying everything Tian Wenjian has done now will only backfire. After Cao Weixin weighed it, he stood up suddenly, stared at Zhao Runze's eyes, pointed to the county magistrate Tian Dai beside him, and said in a stern voice: "Comrade Zhao Runze, in view of Comrade Tian Wenjian's unorganized and undisciplined behavior, which will bring about a series of immeasurable serious consequences, I, in my capacity as deputy secretary of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee and mayor of the People's Political Axe, suggest that the Hulin County Party Committee suspend Comrade Tian Wenjian for review. ”

Zhao Runze was stunned for a moment, then reacted, hurriedly leaned into his ear, and cautiously reminded: "Mayor Cao, it's not appropriate to suspend and reflect at this time, right?" ”

Looking at the harmless expression of the county magistrate Tashiro, Cao Weixin was angry, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "How to deal with it, Secretary Liu will make the decision." But he is no longer suitable for the position of acting county magistrate, as for how to arrange, you can see what to do. ”

Mayor Cao is gone, the working group is also gone, there is such a big problem, who can take care of the matter of Southern Science and Technology Group? In desperation, Zhao Runze had to bite the bullet, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and said slowly: "It is said that Comrade Tian Wenjian has recently relapsed his stomach disease and has to stay in the hospital for a few days. ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhao Runze said to Secretary General Qian of the county party committee: "Secretary-General, you immediately call the county party committee office, go to the hospital to contact the senior cadre ward, the location and facilities should be the best, and you must have absolute confidence in the rest and rehabilitation of the county magistrate." If the county magistrate Tian does not live well in the hospital, I will ask you. ”

Before Zhao Runze's words fell, everyone's eyes flashed towards Tian Wenjian like a searchlight. Tian Wenjian seemed to be completely unaware of Secretary Zhao's words and everyone's strange gazes, as if nothing happened.

Of course, Tian Wenjian didn't have any illness. He was only in his twenties, he could eat, pull, sleep, and be as strong as an ox. Hospitalization, of course, is a pretext and a more subtle statement, and to put it bluntly, it is suspension for reflection. But when it comes to the leaders at the level of the county party committee, the art of speaking is already very exquisite, saying that you are sick and letting you be hospitalized, which not only takes care of your face, but if the matter is not too serious, time has passed, and you can be accommodating as much as possible, and then you will be discharged from the hospital when you are sick.

If you are hospitalized, you will be hospitalized, and things will be done more or less anyway. When Tian Wenjian was pondering how Liu Dongchuan would solve this situation, everyone had already left the movie theater conference room one after another. He also stood up, grabbed his bag, and walked to the door of the conference room.

Seeing Tian Wenjian walking down, Zhao Runze pushed the car door and said angrily: "Take my car, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

"Okay." Tian Wenjian looked back, and then sat down.

As soon as Tian Wenjian closed the car door, Zhao Runze had an angry expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "It's good for you, kill or bury, leave this mess, how do you let me clean it up?" ”

There are a lot of things to do in the work of reducing the burden, and since he boasted about this Haikou and gave the people a "dog-beating stick", then the county party committee and county government axe have to wipe his buttocks. Looking at Zhao Runze's angry appearance, Tian Wenjian pinched his nose, and said lightly: "The road to the bridge is naturally straight, and the living can still suffocate urine?" Come to think of it, there's always a way. ”

"Eight hundred million! You think it's 8 million. Zhao Runze let out a long sigh with a dejected expression.

What made him laugh was that the county magistrate Tashiro actually patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "My Secretary Zhao, there are priorities, and the first thing we have to deal with now is that wolf." I tossed like this, the cadres of the county were panicked, who still had the heart to do anything to promote him? Besides, reducing the burden is not your business alone, these problems are left to Boss Liu and Boss Cao, and they have a headache. ”
