It's about to be the rainy season in the valley, and it is the season of spring plowing and spring planting. But Lao Zhang, a farmer in Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, was anxious. Because of the more than 4,500 acres of arable land contracted by them in the local Shuangsheng village, they originally planned to grow corn, but so far there has been no progress.
Lao Zhang said anxiously and heartbrokenly: "Crops are subject to solar terms, and if they exceed the time, they will not be ripe, and the land will be in vain." If it can't be planted in a few days, the land will have to be abandoned. You have to turn over the ground, and time won't wait for anyone if you don't turn the ground!"
Recently, a video went viral about an official in Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, walking into a field, stopping farmers from spring plowing and demanding that they pay. This incident has attracted a lot of attention and discussion in the circle of netizens. Everyone is thinking, as officials in Inner Mongolia, why should we stop the peasants from spring ploughing? So let's continue to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing!
The incident occurred in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Township, Kailu County, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, and involved farmers, village officials, and people from the town.
Twenty years ago, the farmers said, the land they contracted was barren, saline land on which nothing could grow, not even grass. However, because the land rent is relatively cheap, some farmers still choose to contract it.
After years of hard work, such as going to the south to bring back the fungus fertilizer and using their own cow dung to improve the land, this former wasteland can finally grow food.
By 2022, the land could even be grown with corn, and the joy of the farmers was beyond words, and the joy of the farmers was indescribable.
Although the contract they signed has not expired, it means that they still have the right to operate the land.
However, village officials came to the fields in droves, prevented the farmers from spring ploughing, and even said some surprising things.
The relevant departments of the town forcibly stopped the operation of farmer Lao Zhang while he was plowing the land. So Lao Zhang went to the village committee, and the town leaders were also present. Lao Zhang complained that they did not follow the contract and did not abide by the law, which could cause conflicts.
However, the town leader responded: "I don't know the law" and "if you want to fight, don't go to the town government, go to the public security bureau." "And so on irresponsible words.
At this time, a certain leader said, "Don't look for me, I don't know the law." ”
Curiously, however, in the afternoon, the leader called in the town's general law enforcement officers, impounded the machinery where the peasants worked, verbally summoned the contractor, and put him in a police car. It seems that their business ability is very high!
Seeing that Mr. Zhang's farming began to have an income, some people became jealous. In early 2024, the village committee sent a notice to Mr. Zhang, saying that if he wanted to continue farming, he would have to pay 200 yuan per mu of land.
Mr. Zhang was puzzled by this request. Isn't the contract already signed, how can the rules be changed suddenly? Moreover, in order to improve these lands, Mr. Zhang has already invested all his savings, and if he is asked to take out nearly 1 million yuan, he really can't get it.
The growers had already bought seeds and fertilizer and were ready to do a big job, but they were suddenly told that they would have to pay a large extra fee, and they were completely stunned, feeling that they could not withstand this kind of surprise at all.
On the side of the village committee, there is no clear legal or contractual clause for this sudden extra fee, which makes the growers even more confused, and they do not understand where this requirement comes from.
The attitude of the village was very strong, saying that if Mr. Zhang could not pay the money, he would not want to continue farming. There was no choice but to go to the reporter for help. In front of the reporter's camera, the attitude of the village cadres was still very tough, and the village leader even threatened loudly: "If you dare to farm again, I will find 200 people to stop you, how can I become a leader without this means." ”
Lao Zhang felt that there was no way, so he went to the town government for help. However, the town government's approach is even more ruthless.
When Ji Mou, the leader of Jianhua Town, came over, he directly told Lao Zhang that this land no longer belongs to you, saying that Lao Zhang and they are forcibly occupying collective resources. He said that he had already warned in the morning, and since he did not listen, he would have to forcibly impound Lao Zhang's car in the afternoon.
But when Lao Zhang heard that the land did not belong to them, he and the other contractors were very angry. After all, the 30-year contract period has not yet arrived, and there are 10 years left, so how can it not be considered theirs?
I really want to know, who gave him such unbridled power in this town, and does he not understand the law?
But what is even more shocking is that Lao Zhang had no choice but to call the police. As a result, not only did they not get the justice they deserved, but they were forcibly taken away by the police, and they were almost strangled to the point that they were breathless!
Faced with this kind of situation of hitting walls everywhere, a man who is nearly half a hundred years old can't help but cover his face and feel heartbroken!
The reporter went to consult an expert who knew the law. After reading the contract, the expert said that the village committee should be able to anticipate the risks, so the village committee should be responsible for it. The farmers had already spent a lot of money and effort when they contracted the land. They earn back some costs, and this right is legally protected.
Lao Zhang now, what can he wish, he is looking forward to planting his land soon. He had no choice but to say that no matter who planted the land in the end, what he wanted most was to plant the crops as soon as possible. If the yield of the land is low or abandoned, how much effort will it have to lose.
The work of planting crops takes a long time and is unstable, and it will be troublesome to delay it at a critical time. In short, if nothing else, farming cannot be delayed, otherwise it will really be a disaster.
I hope that the local bigwigs will quickly think of a way to make the farm work go on normally. At the same time, this matter must be handled fairly and reasonably. Lao Zhang and his gang have been farming for 20 years, and they have to work for another ten years to finish.
The strength of this life should always be protected by the law. Whether it is the leaders of the village committee or the town government, everyone said that the good contract must be counted, and there must be this promise.
This matter is getting hotter and hotter on the Internet, and the leaders of Kailu County can't sit still. On April 22, they sent a notice through Kailu Rong Media, saying:
They saw the news on the Internet about the land compensation in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, and the county leaders said that they took this matter very seriously. At present, a team has been organized to investigate the matter, and the results of the investigation will be announced to the public immediately.
As soon as this announcement came out, netizens didn't buy it.
The comment area exploded instantly, and everyone's opinions are almost like this:
Who would dare to invest in this environment?
The leaders of the town and village all say that they don't understand the law, and the police arrest people without authorization, so why are such people still kept?
If the investigation is carried out quickly, if it is delayed for half a year, when will the farmers be able to plant the land?
If you don't think about the people, you might as well go home and farm. These cadres have completely forgotten their original intentions. Netizens are talking a lot, and some people say: "How can such a person who doesn't understand the law sit in a leadership position?"
"Power falling into the hands of such a bully is simply a disaster for us ordinary people!"
"It's really difficult for farmers to encounter this kind of village and town cadres who don't understand the law, as well as the behavior of the police station. ”
"You can become a leader without even knowing the basic laws, which is a clear indication that some departments have not fulfilled their duties. ”
What are your thoughts on this?
