I don't know if you have seen the recent events in Inner Mongolia, according to the "China Sannong Release" report, a very angry thing happened recently in Kailu County, Tongliao, Inner Mongolia. When the spring ploughing was approaching, the local government sent people to block and forcibly ask for the "supplementary contract fee", and this incident quickly rushed to the hot search. According to the data, this part of the land was a very barren grassland, and in order to solve the problem of land abandonment, the local government will contract the land at a low price. Some farmers have contracted 5,600 mu of land in partnership with others, with a total contract period of 30 years, and the fees have been fully settled as early as 2022. After years of hard work by several farmers, this large area of land was finally developed, and a lot of financial resources were spent to improve the land structure, so this land was also designated as irrigated land by the state.
Some people may ask, what is irrigated land? Let me first give you a brief science popularization: irrigated land belongs to agricultural land, which means that it is land used for agricultural production. Watered land is a type of land that is highly productive and efficient. Through diversion irrigation, the irrigated land can obtain sufficient water, thereby improving the yield and quality, increasing farmers' income, and promoting rural economic development. Watered land belongs to the wetland type. Its irrigation water sources come from rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies, so its ecological environment is closely related to the ecological environment of water bodies. In order to protect the water ecological environment and avoid land degradation, it is necessary to keep the water quality clean and protect the ecological environment of the irrigated land. That is to say, once this grassland is improved into irrigated land, it can not only greatly promote the growth of crops, achieve high yield and increase income, but also because it belongs to agricultural production land, and can also obtain national grain subsidies for growing grain.
Although I don't know why the local government forcibly stopped farmers from farming and forcibly demanded "supplementary contract fees", I suspect that the reason may be related to this. Don't listen to the local reply that the grassland is converted into cultivated land and needs to pay a "supplementary contract fee", this argument is untenable at all, because if the actor takes the initiative to request the change, he can apply to the relevant state departments, and this time the relevant state departments took the initiative to transfer, so there is no problem of "supplementary contract fees". In my opinion, perhaps the most plausible explanation is that the local government found out that the land could be profitable, and they were just angry.
Otherwise, why didn't the farmers do it before they spent a lot of money to improve their land? In the face of this situation, local farmers also said from the bottom of their hearts that the conditions have finally improved a little, at least let us plant quietly for a few years, which can be regarded as a return for our years of investment. But despite this, it is clear that the local government can't wait, and it doesn't want to wait, which is really infuriating.
In fact, in addition to this phenomenon, there have been some other similar cases exposed on the Internet before. Some peasants returned to their hometowns to invest tens of millions of dollars to set up breeding farms, and just when the breeding farms were thriving and began to make money, all kinds of strange phenomena also appeared. Although all the evidence shows that the contractor is reasonable and legal, they will always find various reasons to make things difficult for the contractor, and detain the parties on some "trumped-up" charges. I talked about this before, if you are interested, you can look ahead, in addition, there are also incidents of farms being forcibly sanitized, resulting in huge losses for contractors. From this, we can also see that under the huge temptation of interests, some people are really mad, and their appearance cannot but be said to be extremely ugly.
From this, we can't help but wonder: Should the poverty of the poor be a kind of duty? If the poor become rich, will it become a sin? From the above things, we can see many abnormal problems. If we say that such a phenomenon occurs between people, we can still understand it, after all, everyone has a tendency to make profits. For example, in the current urbanization construction, in some places, before development, housing prices are very low. There was once a man who sold his house at a normal price because of the illness of a loved one in his family. But a few years later, he found that the local housing prices had skyrocketed, so he repaid the debt for various reasons and wanted to get his house back. But for the country, the prosperity of the people is exactly what we want to see. However, for some individual localities, once the common people under their rule become rich, not only do they not feel rejoicing, but on the contrary, they become jealous, begin to blush, and want to use various methods, use administrative power, and in the name of some so-called policies and regulations, to take the wealth created by the common people as their own.
Chapter 129 of Sima Qian's "Historical Records" records: "The bustle of the world is all for profit, and the bustle of the world is for profit." The Chinese sage Confucius said: "The rich and the noble are what people want, and the poor and the lowly are also evil." This also illustrates a truth, that is, what is said in "Zengguang Xianwen": "The poor are in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." "So, until a group of farmers improves the land, the land is a poor person, and no one will be welcome. Once the land has been improved, it can bring great economic benefits to people, and they will become wealthy, so that many people will start to worry about it, and will try to take it for themselves through various reasons and methods, in fact, this is the reason.
Sometimes we can't help but think that the people of the countryside are themselves guilty compared to the people in the city, the poor are also guilty compared to the rich, and the common people are guilty in comparison with the officials. It is precisely because of this that many rural people will be looked down upon even if they go to the cities; some poor people will be called "nouveau riche" when they have money; and once some ordinary people become officials, once their status changes, they will also look down on ordinary people, which is really very strange!
