Cadre: The land belongs to the village, and I can take it back whenever I want.
Reporter: People signed a 30-year contract, and now during the contract period, isn't it illegal for you to do so?
Cadre: Then I don't care, I don't understand the law.
The secretary of the village branch of Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, faced the reporter's camera and said such jaw-dropping words. Another deputy secretary of the village branch was even more arrogant: he said that there was nothing else, and if he had an opinion, he would go to the town, and I would collect money if I was asked to collect it.
The helpless growers could only turn to the police for help, and the local police station was really resolute, but it was not the village cadres who were arrested, but the people who called the police.
Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law? Is there really no place for reasoning? What the hell is going on?
Event recap
In general, Mr. Zhang contracted 4,650 acres of wasteland in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, for a period of 30 years, from 2004 to 2034.
After 20 years of renovation and a lot of money and manpower, the former wasteland has become fertile land.
At the beginning of 2024, the village committee issued a notice to Mr. Zhang, informing him that if he wanted to continue farming, he must not pay 200 yuan per mu.
Mr. Zhang was puzzled by this, how could he say that the contract he had signed had been changed and changed? Besides, Mr. Zhang had already invested all his family property in improving these lands, and he would pay nearly 1 million yuan in addition, but Mr. Zhang really couldn't get it.
The attitude of the village is very tough, if Mr. Zhang can't make up the expenses, don't think about farming. Mr. Zhang had no choice but to ask the reporter for help, and in the face of the reporter's camera, the village cadres had a very tough attitude, and the deputy secretary of the village shouted loudly: If you dare to farm again, I will find 200 people to block you, if there is no such strength, I will not be able to elect the village secretary.
After communication, the reporter learned that the expropriation of Mr. Zhang's land compensation was the intention of the town, and the village was just carrying out the order, so the reporter went to Jianhua Town to understand the situation.
A town leader replied that the price of the land contracted by Mr. Zhang in 2004 was indeed too low at that time, and now the land has been turned from wasteland to irrigated land, and the town feels that it has suffered a loss, so it asked Mr. Zhang to pay 200 yuan per mu of land.
In the face of the reporter's questioning, the town leader actually raised a sentence: I don't understand the law, don't talk to me about the law.
Another cadre in the town was even more arrogant, facing the reporter's camera, the deputy secretary of the Jianhua Town Party Committee directly said: I am not afraid of your exposure, I am a cadre in the town, my name is Ji Yunhao, this land does not belong to him now, he wants to prepare the land, Ji Yunhao also asked the village to directly detain Mr. Zhang's agricultural machinery.
Seeing that the other party was going to do it, Mr. Zhang could only ask for help from the police, and after a while, the police arrived at the scene, and after understanding the situation, the police actually arrested Mr. Zhang's family and took it away.
If the town leader does not understand the law, the deputy secretary of the party committee is still a member of the political and legal committee, he should know the law, and the police at the police station know the law.
The notice has been issued, and netizens are hotly discussed
As this incident continued to ferment on the Internet, the leaders of Kailu County couldn't sit still, and on April 22, Kailu Financial Media issued a briefing:
The county attaches great importance to the information released by the media on the compensation for the three adjustments of cultivated land in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, and has set up a working group to start the investigation, and the results of the investigation will be announced to the public as soon as possible.
This notice of Kailu County has attracted ridicule from netizens, and the comment area of Kailu Rong Media has completely fallen, and the general views of netizens are as follows:
With such a business environment, which entrepreneur would dare to come?
In the town, the cadres at both levels in the village claim that they don't understand the law, and the police station even arrests people illegally.
The investigation should be carried out as soon as possible, and it should be delayed for half a year, so that the peasants' land does not need to be planted.
If the official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes, such village cadres have completely forgotten their original intentions.
Juris Doctor speaks
Regarding this incident, a reporter consulted He Wenjie, a doctor of law and director of the China Legal Sociology Research Association, and He Wenjie gave the following views:
The town's approach is simply unreasonable, these lands were originally wasteland, and the wasteland was not improved by itself, but only improved by the contractor's hard work, and the contract signed by the two parties clearly stated the number of years, and the town was definitely not eligible to collect money during the contract period.
epilogue
As a netizen said, this matter is like a developer selling a rough house, and after the residents renovate it, the developer proposes that the house has increased in value, and the residents do not add money, so I will take back the house and sell it to others, how can there be such a reason?
At the same time, this incident also reflects the current situation of many grassroots affairs, and the situation of power exceeding the law is very serious, and the town leader has become an accomplice in a word, and the law enforcement personnel have openly violated the law to arrest people.
Facing the camera's camera can be so arrogant, the corner where the sun can't be found, it's unimaginable.
