"I don't tell you about the law! I'll collect money when told to do so! What kind of legal provisions? Destroy the car, get down! Hurry!"
It is hard to imagine that such words will come from the mouth of the deputy director of the village committee of Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Inner Mongolia in 2024.
The above passage was said by the deputy director to the peasants who were cultivating in the village, and he led people to forcibly prevent the peasants from spring ploughing, requiring them to pay money before they could plant the land, and they could not plant without paying the money.
In addition to the deputy director, other village cadres also rushed to the scene to stop it, threatening to consume it with the farmers who were farming.
Obviously, the farmers can't afford it, and they are about to cry when they are wronged, and one farmer said that the rain is almost over, and if it is delayed, they will not be able to farm. But the village cadres didn't care about the stubble at all.
What is even more infuriating is the town cadre Ji Yunhao, who commanded at the scene and called the police to forcibly arrest people.
Ji Yunhao is the deputy secretary of the Jianhua Town Party Committee and a member of the political and legal committee, but when he was questioned by the peasants, he said that he did not understand the law, and that the land that had been signed by the peasants for 30 years did not belong to them, and they could not farm the land, only after paying the money.
Growers say they don't understand what they are asked to pay.
Because long ago, they had paid the contract fee for 30 years, which had been fully settled and should be protected by law.
The contract was signed in 2004, and there were still several years to go before it expired, and the growers did not understand why they were suddenly asked to pay 200 yuan per acre.
When the farmers questioned the village cadres, the village cadres could not produce any strong evidence that the villagers had to pay the money to continue farming.
Village officials said that these growers currently have only two choices, either stop farming or pay nearly one million yuan!
However, for the villagers, neither option is likely to materialize. If they stop farming, then all the seeds, fertilizers, etc., they have already bought will be lost.
Not only that, but the investment in this land for nearly 20 years in the previous ten years has all been in vain.
Because this land was saline-alkali land when it was first contracted, it could not grow food at all. After more than 10 years of hard work and economic investment, they transformed the grassland into irrigated land. They have only started growing corn since 2022.
If you give up at this time, it will undoubtedly be a waste of time, and all the efforts of more than ten years will be in vain.
And if they continue to pay money, it will be difficult for them to achieve it. Because they have invested all their wealth in this land, and before they have received a return, they are required to forcibly stop farming.
A farmer said angrily:
"Our family has invested 1 or 2 million! Now that we are talking about change, we can't stop planting for a few years and make a return? Is it reasonable to enforce a fee of 200 yuan per mu now that all the contractors have not been present?"
After the incident sparked heated discussions, netizens were greatly dissatisfied. Soon, the Propaganda Department of the local county party committee issued a notice, claiming that the Kailu county party committee and government attached great importance to the matter and had set up a working group to investigate.
At the same time, the village party secretary once again came forward to reveal the situation, saying that the order to collect fees was issued by the county, and there was no specific amount to be charged at that time, and finally decided to charge 200 yuan per mu.
The village party secretary also said that they are all farmers, they have no culture to speak, and there are many loopholes.
In this regard, some netizens questioned that the local county party committee was self-examining and self-correcting, and they were not optimistic about the later results.
Some netizens questioned how these people became cadres since they knew that they were uneducated?
Nowadays, most of the village officials are college students with higher education, so why do the deputy directors of the village committees and the village party secretaries here say that they are not educated? Are there any other stories in this?
