The matter of institutional reform has been vigorously launched, and Lu Zhengdong rarely stays in the office, firstly, once this matter is unfolded, all kinds of people will come to the door to intercede, dissatisfied, etc., and he is also very annoyed, and there is another point, institutional reform, which is bound to have some impact on the work of the county, and he will run a little more time below. 1――

Mochizuki Township is the most remote township in Yilan, Lu Zhengdong has not been to it since he took office, this time the funds from the ministry are in place, the road to Mochizuki will also be built into an asphalt road, and there are two machine farming roads to be repaired in the township, Lu Zhengdong feels that this idea is really right, because the road is extremely bumpy, Lu Zhengdong set off at half past six in the morning, and it was almost noon to Mochizuki Township, and the road of more than 100 kilometers ran for five or six hours.

Lu Zhengdong had just arrived at the township government, and Yao Qingsan, secretary of the township party committee, and others, who had greeted him, said while escorting him out of the car:

"Secretary Lu, Minister Qiu of the Organization Department called to say that Minister Qiu of the Municipal Organization Department has arrived in Yilan and is inspecting the pilot work in the town, please give him a call after you arrive......"

Mochizuki Township is too remote, not only does the mobile phone have no signal, but there is no signal even for paging. Lu Zhengdong hurriedly called Qiu Zhizhi on his mobile phone:

"There was no notice from the city, why did Minister Qiu suddenly arrive in Yilan?"

Qiu Zhizhi said:

"Minister Qiu decided to come over temporarily after the reform of the inspection agency in Lido County, Secretary Lu, Minister Qiu's feelings are not very good?"

When Lu Zhengdong heard this, he asked:

"What's wrong with the pilot?"

Lu Zhengdong lowered his voice when he heard it: "Minister Qiu is quite satisfied with the pilot matter, but Minister Qiu went to a village to understand the situation when he inspected the town, but he was surrounded by villagers, and the villagers reported a lot of ......."

Lu Zhengdong was also thrilled when he heard this, and asked:

"We have done sufficient work on road construction and land acquisition, and there should be no major problems. What else is reflected? ”

Qiu Zhizhi said:

"It mainly reflects the burden of peasants."

Lu Zhengdong was also silent when he heard this, the problem of peasants' burdens is a nationwide long-standing and difficult problem, Lu Zhengdong has worked in the township for two years, and he knows this too well; in Changtan City, in addition to the taxes and fees required of peasants, in addition to agricultural tax, tax on special agricultural and forestry products, slaughter tax, and overall planning for retention. There are also accumulation workers, volunteer workers, and so on. These are all regular taxes and fees, and there are many other inexplicable rides.

The purchase price of grain is a few cents a catty, and after deducting the basic costs of purchasing pesticides and fertilizers, the income per mu of farmland can be flat or even negative. The vast majority of the peasants had enough food to keep for a year.

Although the central authorities have repeatedly ordered that they are not allowed to increase the peasants' burdens, their financial resources are limited, and in order to maintain the normal operation of a local government, it is a matter of common practice to increase the peasants' burdens.

Lu Zhengdong, as the secretary of the county party committee, also understands the situation of Yilan, and Yilan has been more prominent in this regard before, so Lu Zhengdong has also taken a lot of measures. However, the reality is that as the secretary of the county party committee, he is the highest leader in the county, but in the entire system of the republic, he is the most basic official in the party and government. Without the power to formulate and modify policies, this problem cannot be completely solved. All he could do was try to curb the indiscriminate charges. But. Even if there are no indiscriminate fees, the villagers who farm their fields do not have much profit due to the regular taxes and fees.

In fact, this fact is well known in the county, city, and even the province, but because it is necessary to maintain the normal operation of the government, everyone is tacit.

Lu Zhengdong thought for a moment before saying:

"Minister Qiu's main purpose is not to understand the burden of farmers. You find a way to distract him. Try to return to the theme of pilot construction. ”…,

After Lu Zhengdong finished speaking, he said:

"It's a bumpy road, something is wrong with the car, I'll rush back as soon as I get it done, but it's late when I come back, no matter what method you use, you have to leave Minister Qiu ...... Yilan."

After Lu Zhengdong put down the phone, he said to the leader of Mochizuki Township:

"Originally, I came today to talk to you and go to the village below to have a look, but there is an urgent matter in the county, I have to rush back as much as possible, so let's give you an hour to report......"

Lu Zhengdong said as he spoke:

"People are iron and rice is steel, we are here to eat and talk......"

Yao Qingsan rubbed his hands and said:

"How can this be done? Our Mochizuki Township is remote, and Secretary Lu rarely comes back, what is this like......"

Several other township cadres also echoed, Lu Zhengdong waved his hand, and said warmly:

"I know the feelings of the comrades, and I also understand everyone's intentions, I also know that the comrades work in such a remote place, it is a real sense of hard work, not easy, I feel that I, the secretary of the county party committee, have a rare opportunity, and I hope to talk to me about the difficulties in the township. I understand very well, but there is something wrong today, and I will definitely come back when I have the opportunity in the future......"

Lu Zhengdong's eyes swept over everyone's bodies and continued:

"Mochizuki Township as the most remote and poorest township in the county, this is the reality, we must face up to this reality, this from one point of view, is a disadvantage, but from another point of view, this is also a favorable condition, the more difficult the place is to exercise people, the more backward the place, the greater the potential for development, the county also attaches great importance to remote and poor townships like you, you see this time to build a road, you are all a priority, this is a condition for the development of a township like Mochizuki, the road is repaired, There will be more opportunities for development, and everyone's work will be more effective, I hope you will grasp such an opportunity to develop Mochizuki, which is more important than what you eat, and it makes me happy than what you eat, your hard work, the county party committee and county government will definitely see it, and I also believe that comrades are gold everywhere will always shine......"

Lu Zhengdong's words made all the cadres in the township a little excited, Mochizuki Township is too remote, these cadres in the township can't remember when the last time the county party secretary came, the cadres in the township sometimes joke that Mochizuki Township is a forgotten ditch in the county, and they are left to fend for themselves, Lu Zhengdong not only wants to build roads, but also comes in person, which has moved them inexplicably.

Lu Zhengdong came this time mainly to understand the preparations for road construction in remote and impoverished townships like Mochizuki and to inspect the living conditions of the production province in Mochizuki Township.

Mochizuki Township has been trapped in the road for many years, this time not only to the city to repair the asphalt road, the township has two machine farming roads, the main natural villages in the township have also been greatly improved, so the township from top to bottom enthusiasm is very high, but Mochizuki is too poor, there is almost no year to completely collect the overall planning, the salary of the government staff and teachers in the township has always been a big problem, Lu Zhengdong listened to the report and pondered for a long time before saying:

"The main task of your township is to lead the farmers how to increase their income, I think there are so many points, one is to lead the farmers to develop sideline industries according to local conditions, such as raising some cattle and sheep appropriately, and also subsidizing the family; Second, it is necessary to make full use of the opportunity of road repairs to develop some agricultural industries suitable for the locality, and third, your mobilization work must be further strengthened on the issue of organizing wealthy peasants to go out to work, and you must attach great importance to this point, publicize and mobilize ...... well"...,

In Lu Zhengdong's view, going out to work is the most important shortcut to improve peasants' incomes, Lu Zhengdong has long instructed the county to vigorously carry out this work, but Mochizuki Township is too remote, the people's consciousness is very backward, many people have never walked out of the mountains in their lives, and there is an instinctive fear of the outside world, although they are very poor, they always feel that their homeland is difficult to leave, and their enthusiasm for going out to work is not high.

Lu Zhengdong did not criticize the township cadres for not doing their work properly, but encouraged the township cadres, and put forward specific requirements, as a place where they have worked under such difficult conditions for a long time and their wages are not guaranteed at any time, encouragement must make them more motivated than criticism.

The car was bumping and running on the bumpy road, and after six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zhengdong returned to the small guest house in Yilan County, Qiu Zhizhi was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and did not say hello, and said when he saw him:

"Minister Qiu and I have just returned, and Minister Qiu has learned a lot about the burden of farmers along the way."

Lu Zhengdong waved his hand and said:

"It's good that you can keep Minister Qiu, that's good, that's good."

As long as Qiu Chengyun stays, he will have a chance to convince Qiu Chengyun.

Qiu Zhizhi said with some worry:

"Minister Qiu's face is not very good-looking, most of the reason why he can stay is to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, you have to pay attention."

Lu Zhengdong had already been mentally prepared and said:

"The burden on farmers is a big problem, before this year, Yilan's indiscriminate collection and apportionment should be relatively strict in the city, but this year, we should be the lightest. If we really want to conscientiously lighten the peasants' burdens, at least starting from the provincial level, this has a bearing on the major policies of the entire country, and our county-level cities cannot make decisions at all, but can only implement them. ”

Lu Zhengdong said as he walked into the guest house.

"Minister Qiu, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were coming, I went to the most remote part of the county, hurry up, and only now rush back. ”

Although Qiu Chengyun's expression was stern, it was not gloomy, and he pointed to the sofa next to him and said:

"I came down to work. It's not to increase your burden, you can go deep into the grassroots to understand the situation, which is a good thing, there is no need to rush back in such a hurry. ”

Lu Zhengdong:

"Qiu Bu came to Yilan, it is because of the importance of our Yilan, I also want to listen to Qiu Bu's guidance on our work in person, how can I not come back? I wasn't a soldier, though. I still understand it when I take a break. ”

Qiu Chengyun was silent for a moment before he said: "I used to know that the burden of farmers was heavy, but I didn't know that it was so heavy. ”

He looked directly at the landing Zhengdong:

"Do you know the situation of the burden on farmers in Yilan County?"

Lu Zhengdong nodded honestly and said:

"Yes."

Qiu Chengyun sighed before he spoke:

"I asked a lot of farmers. Almost every family is busy all year round, except seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, etc., and finally there is only one family's rations left, there are three families, one family is sick, it cost more than 500, and now they are still in arrears, and there are two families with children in school, and they can't make ends meet......"

After speaking, he stared at Lu Zhengdong with blazing eyes:

"Do you think this is universal?"

Lu Zhengdong nodded and said:

"Yes, in fact, there are many places in Yilan that are worse than Luoshan, the farmers in Luoshan Town are mainly concentrated in the valley, drought and flood to ensure harvest, the natural conditions are good, the income is good, like the Mochizuki Township I went to today, the farmers' lives are even more difficult, and the children of many families can finish a primary school is considered good......"

"What else does the farmer plant? Getting rich and running to a well-off life, is it such a way to run? You who are leaders. Have you thought of a way? ”

Qiu Chengyun raised his voice, his face unusually stern. Apparently furious. …,

Lu Zhengdong didn't expect Qiu Chengyun to be so angry, but seeing that Qiu Chengyun's anger was not like a show, Lu Zhengdong had a good impression of Qiu Chengyun.

The low-level officialdom stresses means, and the high-level politicians talk about power and strategy, but whether it is high-level or grass-roots, the politicians themselves should also talk about character, and any immoral political skills will bury the official's political life from a small aspect, and from a large aspect, it will bury a great career.

And having feelings for the people is the most basic character that a cadre should have, but in the real political life, it is not the people but the superior leaders who decide the cadres' hats, so this point has long been left behind by many cadres, and it is commendable that Qiu Chengyun can do this.

Lu Zhengdong then also said:

"Yilan County attaches great importance to the burden on rural areas. This year, only the agricultural tax and the overall planning of retention and other serious taxes and fees will be collected, and it is strictly forbidden to collect fees and charges arbitrarily, but even if the arbitrary collection of fees is eliminated, the calculation of the purchase price of grain and the harvest of the peasants will be clear. In fact, for many people, hard work does not necessarily lead to prosperity......"

Qiu Chengyun saw that Lu Zhengdong did not collect it, but told it calmly, and was silent, he knew that what Lu Zhengdong said was true, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said to himself:

"You can't get rich by hard work. There is definitely something wrong with the policy. ”

Lu Zhengdong also said: "Yes, this time the main purpose of the institutional reform is to change the functions of the government, and the other reason is also to reduce expenditures and reduce the burden, but such measures still cannot solve the fundamental problem, in order to reverse this situation, one is to adjust the national policy level, but the taxes and fees stipulated by these countries are all major policies, and the county cannot be the master."

What we can do is to increase the revenue of the county and township finances from other channels, and create conditions for strictly prohibiting unreasonable burdens on farmers, which is one of the main reasons why I have grasped the coal mine after I arrived in Yilan, and secondly, to actively create conditions for farmers to increase their income. While reducing the peasants' burdens, it is more important to increase the peasants' incomes, and only in this way can the situation be fundamentally changed......

"We Yilan is a typical mountainous area, the land is barren, scattered, completely dependent on planting food to get rich this is unrealistic, or only according to local conditions, the development of cash crops, such as Luoshan Town and Linshan Town, Luoshan is close to the county, you can develop vegetable planting, supply the county, Linshan development vegetable planting supply, and in the mountainous area, you can develop aquaculture, fruit tree industry, beekeeping, etc., these are certainly higher than the income of growing food, can increase a certain income of farmers, but this can only improve the economic situation of a small number of families, There is only one shortcut to improve the income of most rural families in the county in a short period of time, and that is to lead farmers with industry. ”

"Yilan was originally barren, there are many people and little land, so many people are trapped in the land and it is difficult to make great achievements, and to realize the substitution of industry for agriculture, one is to vigorously develop the county's industry, vigorously develop township enterprises and the tertiary industry, and transfer a part of the labor force, but this is a gradual process, and certain conditions are required. The main thing is to let the wealthy labor force go to the coastal areas to work......"

When Qiu Chengyun heard this, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and he asked with interest:

"Can a part-time job turn this around?"

Lu Zhengdong nodded: "It should be the fastest and most effective way, after the speech of the southern tour, overseas investors have also taken a reassurance, the domestic labor cost is very low, a large number of labor-intensive enterprises have entered, these enterprises do not have high requirements for ordinary employees at the grassroots level, as long as they can bear hardships and stand hard work, obey management, the vast majority of young farmers can be competent." ”…,

Lu Zhengdong said:

"Our county is to mobilize 100,000 people to go out to work, and it will not have a big impact on agricultural production, even if each of these 100,000 people can save 100 yuan a month and send it home, they can have more than 100 million yuan a year, more than 100 million, that is, 200 million catties of grain, this more than 100 million yuan is averaged to each of the 600,000 people in the county, that is, the per capita income will increase by 200, and we Yilan will increase the production of 200 or 300 catties of grain, and we will dig out the land to increase the per capita income by 200 yuan, which is almost impossible."

When Qiu Chengyun heard Lu Zhengdong say this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Zhengdong, if what you said can really be realized, it will really be a great thing for the people. However, this is easier said than done. If there is such a good thing, I am afraid that other counties will be scrambling to send out rich labor......"

Lu Zhengdong smiled:

"The key to this is to be able to get in touch with some of the companies along the coast, and we are leading the way in this regard. We have made contact with some governments and enterprises along the coast where such enterprises are concentrated, and enterprises that employ more workers, and after we go out, the peasants have a basic guarantee for their jobs......

Lu Zhengdong said again:

"In order to drive the county's labor export, the way we take in the county is to lead the area, first organize and mobilize a part of the people in each township and each village to go out, as long as these people make money, the back will not worry, it must be to call friends, call their relatives and friends to hurry over, and some of the people who go after have acquaintances to introduce, there is a temporary place to stay, and the heart is also steady. The county has already mobilized several groups of people to go out after the Spring Festival, and the earliest work is also a month, and I believe that more people will go out soon......"

After hearing this, Qiu Chengyun couldn't help but smile and said:

"Zhengdong, the spark can start a prairie fire, this is a good way, it seems that Yilan County has done a solid job in this regard, labor export, road construction provides opportunities, vigorously develop the three industries, institutional reform, this series of measures down, I believe it will greatly promote the increase of farmers' income, coupled with not increasing the burden of farmers, so down, farmers' lives must be better than before......"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said:

"I came out of the countryside and have feelings for the countryside. When I saw this situation, I couldn't hold back my heart, and I didn't fully understand the situation, so I ......"

Lu Zhengdong saw that Qiu Chengyun's expression had completely eased, and hurriedly said:

"Minister Qiu, we will definitely uphold the attitude of encouragement if there is a change, and if there is none, we will do a good job in this matter...... It's not too early, so let's talk about other work after dinner, right? ”

Qiu Chengyun nodded and stood up, and said:

"In the evening, I will listen to the report on the situation of your institutional reform, and the total amount of wine will be controlled by a bottle, I will blow you a blow first, there are many problems in Lido County, and they have all been punished by Secretary Liu, I don't know what the situation in your county is......"
