readx; 240“…… In addition to the usual collection of agricultural taxes, he stipulated through television and the "Guidelines for Reducing the Burden on Peasants" that he distributed privately without the permission of the organization that it was strictly forbidden for the townships and towns to share the tax on special agricultural products and the slaughter tax. The overall planning of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info shall not exceed 12 percent of the per capita income of farmers in Hulin County last year, that is, 151.4 yuan. If the cumulative overall planning exceeds 152 yuan, the expropriated farmer may refuse to pay in accordance with the law. ”

During the Spring Festival, most of the Standing Committee members are on vacation. After listening to Cao Weixin's report, Liu Dongchuan, who realized that the problem was serious, immediately held the first secretary's office meeting after the Lunar New Year.

Liu Dongchuan's face was pale, and he sat there silently. Deputy Secretary Wang, who is in charge of the party and ideology, smoked cigarettes one after another. Deputy Secretary Du kept recording in the small notebook, for fear of a slight omission. Ren Ran's reaction was rather weird, he actually used his mobile phone as a computer, and he kept calculating something.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Cao Weixin coughed twice, looked at the report in his hand, and then introduced: "According to his calculations, the average tax and fee for farmers in Hulin this year will be controlled at the level of 225 yuan. This means that in addition to agricultural taxes, blood prevention fund-raising, Luoshan pumping station fund-raising, capital instead of labor fees, water and electricity fees, joint production fees, livestock and poultry epidemic prevention fees, and comprehensive agricultural development supporting fees will not be collected.

In addition, he also explicitly abolished 19 fees for education: technical installation fees, extracurricular homework of the Education Commission, summer vacation homework, winter vacation homework, primary school nature education, middle school students' world, primary school students' world, education coordination fees, donations, teacher training fees, office expenses, newspaper and periodical materials, teaching awards, personal insurance fees, physical examination fees, epidemic prevention fees, and greening fees.

as well as the household registration rectification fees, house number fees, and public security fees collected by the police station from rural areas beyond the standard; The legal service fees collected by the judicial departments in excess of the standard and the fees for popularizing the law in the Third Five-Year Plan, the women's examination fees charged by the family planning departments in excess of the standards, and the water surface value-added fees collected by the fishery administration departments in an equal and excessive manner, etc. At the same time, there are also clear provisions on fines for unplanned births, gynecological examination fees, and certification fees. ”

Deputy Secretary Wang, who was parachuted from the provincial party committee at the grassroots level, had heard of it, but he never imagined that there were so many kinds of taxes and fees in the name of the name, Cao Weixin just finished speaking, while snuffing out his cigarettes, while looking around at the people, he couldn't help but say: "There are so many taxes and fees, it seems that the county and township political axes are busy collecting taxes." ”

Liu Dongchuan sighed, nodded slightly, and said helplessly: "Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's almost inseparable." In good conscience, they are now in charge of the three things of levy and tax collection, family planning, and social stability. But they can't manage these three things well. ”

Secretary Du put down the pen and paper, with a worried expression, and said solemnly: "In the 80s, there were less than 15 administrative cadres in a township, and there were only three or four people in finance and taxation, and there were no industrial and commercial offices, judicial offices, and only two or three people in the police station. At that time, there were few people who ate imperial grain, and the burden on the peasants was also light, and the burden of planting one mu of land for the common people was only more than ten yuan.

Until 92, the burden of one acre of land did not exceed 30 yuan. But what now? The burden of one acre of land has exceeded more than 200. That's not enough, and I'm still in debt. At present, there are more than 2,000 large and small cadres, teachers, and cadres working outside the township in total. They themselves want to eat the peasants, their children want to eat the peasants, and the ranks of the peasants are growing stronger year by year, and the county and township organs are bloated...... How can farmers increase their income if they want to support so many people? How can a farmer not be heavy? ”

"Has the Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report on this?" Liu Dongchuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

"There are at least two truckloads of report letters, both of which have become a common phenomenon, and some of them are problems left over from history, how can the Commission for Discipline Inspection check those few people?"

On this major issue of right and wrong, Cao Weixin was still very cautious, and seeing that Liu Dongchuan and others attached great importance to it, he immediately opened his notebook and continued: "Tian Wenjian has indeed done some work, and he has a very accurate grasp of various data.

In the county's work conference on reducing burdens, he took Sanmen Township as an example, saying that there are 361 people in this township who eat financial meals at the same level, including 165 teachers, 64 township administrative personnel, 44 agriculture, forestry and water institutions, 33 cultural, sports, and broadcasting institutions, 30 people in the health system, 21 people in the financial office, and 4 people in the civil affairs system.

Before I came back, I sent someone to verify it, and it was basically true. Judging from this set of data, the bloated institutions and the large number of eaters are an important reason why the township-level finances cannot make ends meet.

Ren Ran, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and interjected coldly: "The financial revenue is not enough, so I force the cadres below to try all kinds of ways to find money, and it is nothing more than to take a few points: add a little, borrow a little, ask for a little, sell a little, and owe a little!" To add a little is to increase the burden on the peasants; To borrow a little is to borrow money from everywhere, even from usury; If you want a little, you are looking for a name to ask for money from above; To sell a little is to sell collective assets; If you owe a little, you will not pay the debt. ”

Seeing that Ren Ran opened his mouth, Cao Weixin suddenly changed his tone and said very sternly: "Comrade Ren Ran, but you should also understand that all rural problems, including the excessive burden on the peasants, are the result of years of accumulation and a comprehensive reflection of many contradictions in national economic and social development. The country is in the transition period of reform and opening up, and there are too many and complicated problems of all kinds.

Taking the overburdening of peasants as an example, the reasons for the overburdening of peasants are extremely complex, enough to make ordinary people feel like a blind man touching an elephant: there are reasons for the huge organization and the superfluity of people; There are reasons for chaotic management and corruption; There are reasons for the financial system to be unsatisfactory; There are reasons for the poor circulation system; There are reasons for law enforcement violations and indiscriminate collection of fines; There are reasons for insufficient agricultural input and weak foundation; There are reasons why the agricultural protection policy is not implemented; There are deep-seated reasons inherent in the economic and social system; There are reasons for excessive concentration of power and poor supervision; There are farmers' own reasons...... It is true that the bloated organization is the main reason, but since I joined the work, the central government has been emphasizing the streamlining of institutions and personnel. But it has never jumped out of the cycle of 'streamlining → expanding→ streamlining and then streamlining → expanding again'. To put it mildly, the problem of the expansion of institutions and personnel seems to have become an incurable disease. ”

Cao Weixin's attitude is very clear, that is, stability is paramount, and once the big sword of elite soldiers and government is raised, it will cause endless trouble.

It is impossible for the iron-clad officials of the Yamen to always stay in their current position. Why doesn't Liu Dongchuan want to stabilize the situation in front of him and leave these messy things to the next term? But the problem is that the county magistrate Tashiro will not give him this opportunity, but holds the cup of punishment wine of Southern Science and Technology in his left hand, and the cup of toast of the farmer's burden reduction in his right hand, forcing you to drink and drink, and you have to drink if you don't drink.

Thinking of the investment delegation sent by Chen Hongjun, chairman of Jiangtian Group, in the morning, and then thinking about the people standing behind him, Liu Dongchuan realized that "I usually don't burn incense, and I have something to do with Lao Zhang" It will definitely not work, and if he wants to let Deputy Director Qiao of the Central Office, the son of General Qiao, help him, then he has to do something real.

"Comrades, now we are shouting for reducing the burden every year, but the burden is increasing every year; In the first half of the year, it decreased, and in the second half of the year, it really increased; Although the political axes at all levels have repeatedly issued orders on this issue, when it comes to lightening the peasants' burdens, the cadres at the county and township levels always have a fluke mentality, believing that after a gust of wind of reform, it is not how to do it in the past and how it will be done in the future. ”

After Liu Dongchuan paused, he continued: "The people are also skeptical of us, thinking that when will the words of the officials count? It would be good if the burden on the masses was not increased, and how dare we expect the burden of officials to be really reduced.

It is precisely because of this kind of policy and countermeasures; There are orders that do not work, and there is an irresponsible attitude that prohibits non-stop. Many policies are now difficult to implement, and have even led to the loss of the prestige of the party committees and political axes. The common people said: 'The scriptures are good, but the key is that the crooked monks have recited the scriptures crookedly!' ’

I don't think I'm wrong, some time ago, it was just found out that there were two cadres in Panshan, who were sentenced according to law for embezzlement and other issues, but they still retain their party and government status, pay their salaries as usual, and enjoy the treatment of cadres as usual, and the impact is very bad! Why is this happening?

The fundamental reason is that the supervision is not enough and the punishment is not strict! In my opinion, the problem is below, but the responsibility is above. In a sense, the violations of discipline by rural cadres are all 'forced' from above, pretending to be clean officials at the top, and corrupt officials at the bottom, which is the fundamental reason for 'officials protecting each other and lawlessness'! ”

The more Liu Dongchuan spoke, the more excited he became, and he knocked down the cup in front of him without realizing it, with a fierce expression on his face.

"What is Tiger Forest? Hulin is an old area that has shed blood and made great contributions to New China. Comrade Weixin and Comrade Ren Ran came later, and they did not catch up with the last return of General Qiao of the Central Advisory Committee. He stayed in Hulin for six days, traveled to 12 towns and villages, and before leaving, he bowed to Runze and other county party leaders, saying that our power is given by the people, just like this land, life is born and multiplied from it, once life leaves the land, it will be impossible to protect day and night, no matter how much sweat and blood you have thrown for this land......"

After Liu Dongchuan paused, he continued: "He also said that in 33 years, Mr. Chen ordered him to expand his popularity here. At that time, he was the director of the political department of the Reading Power Group, responsible for the expansion of popularity. At that time, the people of Hulin County had just made tremendous sacrifices to oppose the "encirclement and suppression" campaign, and the bloodstains had not yet been wiped off, and the leading comrades of the county party committee took the lead in sending their relatives to the troops.

Under the leadership of the leaders of the county party committee, in only three months, the people of Hulin sent 1,000 of their outstanding children to join the army. And how many of these 1,000 people have returned? How many people are alive? How many people became senior cadres? After nearly 20 years of hard waiting, Hulin County's mother and wife only received a martyr's certificate, but they did not complain, because they saw that the leaders of the county party committee had made the same sacrifice as them......"

Secretary Du flashed his surprised expression, pondered for a while, and suddenly said lightly: "Liang Shuming paid the price for the peasants' speeches, Peng Dehuai also paid the price for the peasants' speeches, and now he also has to pay a certain price for the peasants' speeches." ”

Cao Weixin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, with a worried expression, and said impatiently: "Secretary Zhao, freezing three feet is not a cold, rural problems are piling up, and the burden on farmers is difficult to return. ”

Just when Ren Ran was surprised by Liu Dongchuan's reaction, Liu Dongchuan suddenly turned straight and said with great seriousness: "Some issues can be put aside temporarily, but some problems cannot be delayed. It is not easy for the people of Hulin, they live at the bottom of society, and many cultural products devalue them to worthlessness, but they endure humiliation and bear the burden of supporting the whole country and the nation, and use the net income of 100 acres of land to feed a national cadre, but they go out to work to make a living. Even many grassroots cadres have suffered all kinds of humiliations and completed all kinds of taxes and fees, but their salaries have not been settled, and they go home with white slips for the New Year.

If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Isn't it ironic that even the emperors of feudal societies knew that they would be exempt from taxes for a few years after a disaster to recuperate, but we levy all kinds of taxes and fees on them after a once-in-a-century flood? Could this be representing the interests of the broad masses of the people? ”

Seeing that Liu Dongchuan had made up his mind, Cao Weixin was not good at directly objecting, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Then which aspect are you going to start with?" You know, this is not a trivial matter, if you really mess up, it will be a big mess. ”

Liu Dongchuan weighed it and gritted his teeth and said: "The problem is in Hulin County, so let Hulin take a step." Isn't there a poverty alleviation fund in the province, let's fight for it, and use that fund to offset Hulin's provincial and municipal co-ordination this year. At the same time, the tiger forest will be set as the pilot of the city's tax reform in 99 years, and we will promote the experience and achievements, and we will summarize the problems. ”

I have to admit that this is really the best of both worlds. After all, the county magistrate Tashiro is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and since he has made this move, he must be ready to do it. Otherwise, he would never dare to fan the flames everywhere and say anything to the common people" "The central government has given you weapons, you don't use them, who do you blame?" If you don't save yourself, who will save you? ”

What's more, things have come to this point, rather than backtracking and causing all kinds of tax resistance incidents, it is better to push the boat down the river and give an explanation to the upper and lower levels.

Thinking of this, Secretary Du nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Thousands of cadres are not joking, they have come in through various ways, and they all think that they are people who are born and ghosts who die, and they are determined to follow the party revolution to the end." Now there is no May Seven cadre school, and if the arrangement is not good, there will be big problems. ”

At this time, Ren Ran suddenly raised his mobile phone, pointed to a string of numbers on it, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, I have roughly estimated that if it is levied according to 25% of the average income of Hulin farmers last year, there will be a gap of at least 1.6 billion yuan in the finances of Hulin County, township, and village. You must know that although the village cadres do not eat the financial meal, they also eat the burden of the peasants, and this number is very huge. ”

How could Liu Dongchuan not know this, seeing everyone staring at him in unison, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "In fact, the problem is more serious than this, if it is a good accident, it will not take three days for many towns in Hulin to be paralyzed because of this." ”

"Why?" Deputy Secretary Wang was taken aback, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Without waiting for Liu Dongchuan to speak, Cao Weixin explained with a wry smile: "On the issue of tax collection, the city forces the county, the county forces the township, and the township forces the village. Unable to collect money from the common people, and the task could not be left unfulfilled, many townships, towns, and administrative villages borrowed usury to hand it over first, and then slowly collected it.

The common people abandoned their fields and abandoned the wasteland, and many of the co-ordination could not be harvested at all. Year after year, year after year. The debts were not repaid, and new debts were borrowed, and the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall. Once the creditors realize the problem, it is strange that they do not block the door of the township political axe. ”

If the townships are paralyzed, it means that the foundation of governance is gone. Deputy Secretary Wang realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly asked: "How much money does the county's rural finance owe at the two levels?" ”

"I don't know, but I want to say that there are two or three hundred million at least."

Twenty or thirty million can be squeezed into the city, but for Deputy Secretary Wang, two or three hundred million is an astronomical amount. Seeing that Liu Dongchuan was determined to poke this hornet's nest, Deputy Secretary Wang couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Liu, why don't we report to the provincial party committee first?" ”

"It's okay to report back." Liu Dongchuan let out a long sigh with a helpless expression.

At this time, Secretary Du leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, I dare to bet with you that the opinions of the province are similar to those of Secretary Liu." ”

Ren Ran lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, spit out the pale green smoke, and said in shock: "I will also add some bets, betting that the provincial party committee will not only ask us not to deal with Tian Wenjian for the time being, but also suggest that the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee retain his position as deputy secretary of the Hulin County Party Committee." ”

Liu Dongchuan rubbed his temples and said expressionlessly: "It's forgivable to do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself." Everyone is responsible for what they do, and it's all his own doing. ”

Not dealing with it for the time being does not mean that it will not be dealt with in the future. Retaining the party post of deputy secretary of the county party committee does not mean that this matter is over. Sooner or later, we will settle accounts for this kind of bad behavior of being organized and undisciplined, and putting the party committee and the political axe in a difficult situation.

Cao Weixin understood, and immediately regretted it: "Stability is overriding everything, it seems that I didn't think about it this morning." ”

"Comrade Restoration, don't say that, if it were me, I would have made the same decision." Liu Dongchuan turned his head, stared at Ren Ran's eyes, and then said: "Comrade Ren Ran, the situation in Hulin is very dangerous, and it is not possible without an old comrade who is familiar with rural work. I want to swap Zhao Runze and Li Zhiqiang, what do you think? ”

Ren Ran is now in charge of industry, and the affairs of the development zone are basically handed over to Li Zhiqiang. This means that the gold content of the director of the management committee of the development zone is not comparable to that of the secretary of the Hulin County Party Committee who has two bombs sitting under his buttocks.

In the face of Liu Dongchuan's conspiracy, he still had no power to fight back. After all, the trouble is caused by your own people, and it is necessary to wipe this ass. At the same time, Li Zhiqiang is indeed a leading cadre who is familiar with rural work, and he has to support him both in public and private affairs.

"I'm okay with that."

Ren Ran finally expressed his attitude after thinking about it, Liu Dongchuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned around, and continued: "Comrade Weixin, Tian Wenjian, the acting county magistrate, is obviously unable to continue, how about letting Duan Cheng, deputy secretary of the county party committee, serve as a candidate for county magistrate?" ”

Tian Wenjian is an unconscious master, and Li Zhiqiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Let him be appointed as the secretary of the Hulin County Party Committee in the face of danger, and the municipal party committee will definitely give him great power. Since we want to reduce the burden, we must take drastic measures to remove personnel. Cao Weixin doesn't think Duan Cheng is reliable, if he is really overthrown by Li Zhiqiang for one reason or another, it will undoubtedly be a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Cao Weixin weighed it and said thoughtfully: "The work of reducing the burden is very difficult, and the more difficult it is, the more it cannot be interfered with by the outside world. I believe that in this critical period, both the municipal party committee and the municipal government must spare no effort to support Comrade Li Zhiqiang's work. The secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate must establish sufficient authority, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out the intention of the municipal party committee and municipal government to reduce the burden. ”

"I'm okay with that." Deputy Secretary Wang, a good gentleman, was afraid that something would go wrong, and when he saw Cao Weixin say it so seriously, he nodded heavily and expressed his support.

"If the provincial party committee has no other instructions, then the matter of Hulin will be decided." Liu Dongchuan stood up, and while walking outside, he said expressionlessly: "As for Tian Wenjian...... Let him stay in the hospital and continue to recuperate, and wait for the effects to be eliminated before dealing with it. ”
