Is there anyone who asks a 70-year-old man to pay a poll tax?

This sentence, word for word, is like a hammer, smashing into Liu Jun's heart.

This is not the first time that Liu Jun has heard this sentence. Strictly speaking, not the first time I saw it.

Remember to be reborn before being in that world. In the mid-90s, a secretary of a township party committee in a neighboring province was angry with the general manager for the three rural issues. Later, the secretary of the township party committee wrote a special story to talk about the three rural issues. That's what it says. It was also an old man under his rule who questioned him, the secretary of the township party committee. Why do seventy-year-olds still have to pay a poll tax!

The problem of agriculture and agriculture is expressed in this way: the countryside is really poor, the farmers are really bitter, and agriculture is really dangerous!

Yoo Jun remembers reading that book. Tears flowed. But at that time, he was just a factory worker, and after a while, he was resentful. I gradually forgot about it. But I never thought of it. Will be here, being questioned by an old man in the same way.

Now, he is not a working boy, he is the magistrate of Ningbei County, and the parent official of one million people in Ningbei County!

This question cannot be avoided.

The burden on the peasants is heavy, and Liu Jun understands it well. And this situation is getting worse across the country. Every township and town has to support a large number of people who are not part of the establishment, and there are many people who eat imperial grain, and the treasury does not allocate the full amount, so the only idea is to fight the peasants under the rule.

In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the weak industrial base and poor foundation, in order to support industrial development, the state has long adopted the policy of "poor industrial and agricultural scissors", subsidizing industrial production and transfusing blood with agricultural production. This policy, to a certain extent, supported the development of domestic industry, but also left many sequelae. After all, China is a big agricultural country and is in the process of development.

Excessive sacrifice of the interests of agriculture" is bound to create many hidden dangers.

And now, the problem is very serious.

After listening to Mei Lao's words, Liu Jun had not yet spoken. Mei Wenhua was anxious, hurriedly stepped forward, and said to the old man: "Old man, the problems in your village can be reflected to the village chief and branch secretary, and if the village does not solve them, you can reflect them to the town, I am Mei Wenhua, secretary of the town party committee, what problems do you have, come to the town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to find me, and I will solve it for you, okay?" ”

Mei Wenhua is so angry in her heart!

This old man really doesn't know the severity!

questioned in front of County Magistrate Liu, isn't this a slap in the face of their town? A "violent anti-French incident. "The county didn't pursue it, it already valued him Mei Wenhua very much, and now it's making such a fuss!

But with Liu Jun here, Mei Wenhua didn't dare to get angry.

The other accompanying cadres all looked strange.

"Ah, you are Secretary Mei in the town"

Mei Lao was startled.

Mei Wenhua is in Wuliqiao Town, and his prestige is still very high.

"That's, you're that"

Mei Lao looked at Liu Jun again and asked suspiciously.

The secretary of the town party committee is all followers, what is the origin of this young man?

"Mei Lao, my name is Liu Jun, and I am the county magistrate."

Yoo Jun said bluntly.

"County, county?"

Mei Lao fainted all of a sudden.

"Oh, you dead old man, what nonsense"

Mei Lao's wife was also frightened, so she complained about Lao Juan one after another.

Mei Lao really didn't expect it. How could he have thought that he would meet the head of a county on the mountain? Besides, Yoo Jun is so young. Mei Lao thought that he was an ordinary cadre from the county organ who came to the township to inspect the orchard. This time. There are also people from the city who come to see these fruit trees.

Now that he has sued the county magistrate in person about the cadres in the town and village, it is no wonder that Mei Lao's wife wants to complain about him fiercely.

"Mei Lao, you asked this question well! Asking a seventy-year-old man to pay a poll tax is really not right! ”

Liu Jun waved his hand, stopped Mei Lao's wife and the angry Mei Wenhua, and said to Mei Lao very sincerely, his tone was heavy.

"I didn't know about this situation before, it's me a bureaucrat. I assure you that from now on, all the people over the age of 60 in the county will no longer have to pay the poll tax! ”

This matter was not originally a policy of the county, but was determined by the village cadres themselves.

Liu Jun abolished it, and there was no need to discuss it with Peng Shaoxiong in advance, just ventilate afterwards.

Liu Jun originally wanted to say that he would give certain benefits to the elderly over 70 years old, considering the economy of Ningbei County. If you can't reach that level at all, you won't dare to make indiscriminate promises.

"Really?"

Mei Lao was taken aback again.

"Seriously!"

Yoo Jun nodded.

"If any more cadres in the town and village collect a poll tax from you, you can come directly to the county to find me. I'll punish them."

Liu Jun is very sure!

Mei Lao was immediately very excited and said a lot of words of thanks.

Liu Jun smiled and had some homely work with Mei Lao. After Mei Lao knew that he was indeed the county magistrate. has a lot of scruples, he doesn't dare to speak casually, he answers whatever Liu Jun asks, and most of the questions are vague.

Yoo Joon can't help it. People are not afraid of him, the county magistrate, but of the town cadres behind him. There's you, the county magistrate Liu. The cadres in the town naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, but as soon as the county magistrate Liu left, it would be difficult for the old man and his family to be in their seventies, and they were not afraid of anything"'' Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 599 Liang Ce An is in the rebirth of the ya-read again, the key is that his children and grandchildren are all in Wujiaqiao Town, and the cadres who govern Bu do not care about the old lady who is small, but it is okay to worry about your children and grandchildren.

These township cadres are large in size, and there are not many who are gentle and elegant!

"County Know, I, I reviewed with you Not long after leaving the mountain, Mei Wenhua couldn't help it. Hanging his head, he said to Liu Jun.

The other town cadres, including Pan Zhiren, all wisely distanced themselves from them. Seeing Secretary Mei suffering, his face must not look good!

Liu Jun waved his hand and said softly, "I don't blame you!" It's not your business alone, and it's not a matter of a town in Wuliqiao Town. This is a global issue. If the economy in the county and township does not develop and develop, there will always be a shortage of money to spend, and it is inevitable that the peasants' ideas will be attacked! ”

Mei Wenhua nodded again and again.

County Magistrate Liu is reasonable and does not mess around. Sure enough, he is a good leader.

Liu Jun took out a cigarette, handed one to Mei Wenhua, and put one in his mouth. Mei Wenhua hurriedly took out the lighter and lit it for Liu Jun. Yoo Jun took two puffs of his cigarette and stood on the mountain road. Looking into the distance, there was no sound for a long time.

"Wenhua, let me ask you a question"

Liu Jun said suddenly, his eyes still looking into the distance.

"County magistrate, excuse me!"

"The expansion of the establishment, the expansion of personnel. Is it really irrepressible? ”

Liu Jun said slowly.

Mei Wenhua was secretly surprised.

The heavy burden on the peasants and the underdevelopment of the economy are one of the reasons, and the fact that the number of personnel employed in various types of townships and towns is greatly exceeded is also an important reason. Mei Wenhua is at the grassroots level, serving as the secretary of the party committee, and only has a deeper and more thorough understanding of these situations than Liu Jun.

It's just that Liu Jun's question is really difficult to answer.

The number of people in various townships and towns is constantly expanding, and on the one hand, there is indeed a shortage of manpower. The work of the township seems simple, but in fact it is very trivial, although the sparrow is small, all aspects must be taken into account. The tasks assigned above must be completed. It is very difficult to rely on some cadres and staff members in the regular establishment alone. As a result, many temporary workers were hired.

On the other hand, there are a lot of relationships. took the opportunity to rush in, scrambling for an iron rice bowl, eating imperial grain, and slandering the harvest early.

This part of the people has a backstage and a backer. I can't afford to offend easily.

"County magistrate, there is still a solution"

Mei Wenhua carefully replied after considering the wording.

Liu Jun is not the kind of old official who loves to listen to flattery, a few high hats are sent over, and he is gently fallen, and then hello, hello, hello, everyone! He really wanted to make some achievements.

People are not short of money, they just want to do something practical.

Because of this, Mei Wenhua didn't dare to say that there was no way. As soon as these words came out, they were all smashed. Why should the magistrate of Liu County look at you. But Mei Wenhua didn't dare to pat his chest indiscriminately.

Big bag.

This is for the real thing!

“！”

Liu Jun still looked into the distance and asked casually.

"This withdrawal of the district and the merger of the township is an opportunity. Lean soldiers and streamlined administration. It's time too! Originally, three or four townships were merged into one, and many overlapping agencies and personnel could take the opportunity to merge and reduce swelling. It should be possible to remove a large number of idle people. Institutions have been streamlined and staff have been reduced. The burden is naturally lighter. ”

Mei Wenhua said.

"And what about after this streamlining? In the future, various towns and towns have successively replenished personnel, increased institutions, and expanded the ranks, and has not become a vicious circle? ”

Yoo Joon withdrew his gaze from a distance. looked at Mei Wenhua and said calmly.

Mei Wenhua is a stagnant.

Liu Jun not only got to the point, but also revealed a catty. Deeper issues. This time, the withdrawal of districts and townships will give a certain subsidy to the temporary workers who have been discharged. The subsidy is in hand, and it won't be long before those related households will still be arranged by the disciples to continue to eat the imperial grain. And part of this subsidy will naturally fall into the pockets of the responsible cadres of townships and towns.

In other words, streamlining is just a starting point. The government spends an extra subsidy in vain, and people will only get more and more bloated.

"County magistrate, please forgive me for being straightforward."

Mei Wenhua gritted his teeth and said.

Yoo Jun looked at him and waited very calmly.

"During the time you stay in Ningbei County, this problem will not be serious. The documents of the county party committee and county government will be effectively implemented. However, you will leave Ningbei County one day, and at that time, Eel Peng will spread his wings and travel thousands of miles, and it is difficult to say whether the successor will still adhere to the same principles as you. ”

Mei Wenhua said this clearly.

You Liu Jun is a yanei, and you can do it without being greedy or hugging. You can also not care about what the surrounding cadres think of you. But the successor county magistrate or secretary. Can you still have the confidence you have? Even if he is not greedy, can he not be scrupulous in all aspects of his network?

Yoo Jun nodded and let out a sigh of relief. said: "You have a point. No matter how comprehensive the system is, no matter how strict the rules are, there is a lack of supervision. It's always useless. It seems that we must seize the time to boost the economy of Ningbei County as soon as possible. We should reduce the burden on the peasants as much as possible."
