The peasants wanted to farm the land but were forced to pay money by the village chief with 200 people, and they were not allowed to plant if they did not give it.
The strange thing is that the farmers' contracted land still has ten years to expire, which has to make people wonder what happened to make everyone go out of their way to prevent the farmers from spring ploughing?
Farmers are prevented from farming
The incident occurred in Shuangsheng Village, Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, where a local farmer had contracted about 5,000 mu of land for a lease period of 30 years.
Originally, the soil in this area was not suitable for farming, so farmers used the land to raise cattle and planted pasture grass for the cattle to eat every year.
Gradually, the farmers thought of planting crops on it, but the land requirements were not enough, so they put their minds to transforming the land, and did not hesitate to spend high prices during the period, but fortunately, after more than ten years of hard work, they finally transformed the barren land in front of them into fertile watered land.
Farmers are also ecstatic to see this result, they no longer herd cattle to plant crops, since 2020 they began their farming journey, with 5,000 acres of land, they planted corn harvest of nearly 1,700 catties per year.
I thought that such a good life would last until the end of the contract, but the person in charge of the village issued a notice to them, which stated that in addition to the contract rent, the tenants must pay the village an extra 200 yuan per mu every year, and if they do not implement it, the lease contract will be automatically terminated.
I have to say that this is somewhat unreasonable, obviously the contract still has ten years to expire, and the 5,000 acres of land will be more than 10,000 yuan.
Who knows that the village chief doesn't care whether he occupies it or not, anyway, he will not let the seeds be planted if he does not hand over the decision, and he also sends people to supervise around the land 24 hours a day, but if the farmers dare to move, they will swarm to stop them.
Seeing that the spring ploughing season is coming, the land does not wait for anyone, if the planting is late, I am afraid that it will be in vain for a year, not to mention that the mechanical farm tools they find are charged on time, which makes the farmers panic.
Ignoring the village chief's obstruction, they insisted on bringing mechanical farming tools into the ground to turn over the ground, but at this time, the village chief stepped forward directly to stop them, and pointed at the farmers and shouted, "I will come with 200 people tomorrow, and you have no work to do."
After hearing this, the farmer said that he would call the police if he did not allow the planting, but the village chief then said, "What can I do if 110 comes!"
As the matter became bigger, the town cadres also heard the news and hurried over, but they did not stand in line with the farmers, but shouted at the farmers without asking the reason, "The land does not belong to you, and forced planting belongs to the occupation of collective resources".
But this makes the farmers not understand, the contract is real, it is clearly recorded that the validity period is 30 years, and there is still a period of 10 years, why it becomes the occupation of collective resources, and they finally do not accept the choice to call the police.
Originally, I thought that the police would have to say something fair, but who knew that the local police who called not only did not hear the fair words, but were forced into the car by the police and forcibly taken away.
As the matter became bigger, the incident was also stabbed on the Internet, and for a while, major media rushed to visit in order to explore the facts.
The truth emerges
This series of operations is unknown to the farmers, so far they do not know what the 200 yuan per mu to pay is, there is no reason that there is no document, but the village chief explained the above requirements.
But there are many above the village chief, in order to understand, the reporter came to the village to interview the village secretary, but the result was "I don't understand the law", he said that the land belongs to the village, they have the right to terminate the contract, as for not agreeing is their business, this is all according to the meaning handed down by the town.
The reporter learned that it was the town's intention and went to interview the mayor non-stop, but the mayor's reply was "This matter was done by the village, and the town did not let the village do this."
This kind of kicking of the ball was really infuriating, but after a series of inquiries from reporters, the mayor of the town told the real reason for preventing farmers from farming.
It turned out that the farmer rented the land in 04 years, and the 5,000 mu of land at that time was still salt marsh land, and the efficiency was not as good as now, but now the land has become irrigated land that can be planted, so the rent has to be recalculated, and the contract fee should be paid, otherwise the government will be considered a "loss", and even moved out of the "change of circumstances" in the Civil Code, indicating that if they do not make up the payment, the contract has the right to be invalidated.
It turned out that the farmers had successfully transformed their land and their income had risen, and they felt that the previous rent was too little and wanted to increase, but how could there be such a beautiful thing in the world, and it was not surprising that this point of view was also refuted by expert lawyers.
The reporter then exposed the matter on the Internet, but it was okay not to expose it, and the comment area exploded as soon as it was exposed.
Netizens are hotly discussed
After this incident was known by netizens, they couldn't bear the grievances in their hearts, and they all started a heated discussion about it, one of them was the town mayor and the other was the village head, but they all said that they didn't understand the law and forced the farmers to have no way to live.
Seeing this situation, netizens were also angry, they thought that whether it was the village mayor or the police, they had to be dismissed and investigated, after all, how could a person who did not understand the law be worthy of a big responsibility.
Some netizens said what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say, he ridiculed that their actions were not national cadres, not farmers' parents and officials, but more like the underworld.
Some netizens even said that they finally found an important reason why the village could not develop, and the lives of the people were sad when there were such big people on the stall.
It is also as public opinion becomes more and more noisy, and the local government has taken it seriously, and it has decided to set up an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter to the end.
However, it is worth mentioning that the only wish of the farmers is not to solve the problem immediately, but to think about whether they can plant the grain first, otherwise the yield will be reduced or it will become wasteland again, and the price will be too great.
The author thinks
Before the results come, I hope that the local area can resume farming as soon as possible, after all, it is the time of spring ploughing, and the farmer's land cannot wait, and at the same time, I also hope that this matter can usher in a fair result.
