In the vast fields, arable land is the sacred land in the hearts of farmers and the source of their livelihood. For Mr. Zhang, that saline-alkali land is not only land, but also the place of his youth and hope for 20 years. The spring breeze blows, everything recovers, and it is the season to sow hope. Mr. Zhang's mood is walking on thin ice, because he is facing an incredible dilemma.
Mr. Zhang, from Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, has contracted 5,000 acres of barren saline-alkali land in the village since 2004. He signed a thirty-year pledge to turn this barren land into fertile farmland. As the years passed, Mr. Zhang poured his heart and sweat into the millions of family fortunes, and finally let the saline-alkali land bloom with new life.
However, the triumphant moment did not last long. A notice in the village was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shattering Mr. Zhang's hopes. He was required to pay a huge contract fee, otherwise he would lose the right to farm. This sudden change plunged Mr. Zhang into deep despair.
He remembers the promise made by the village committee when it signed the contract, and he remembers the hardships of his desperate attempt to transform the land. Now, all these efforts seem to have come to naught. Faced with unreasonable demands, Mr. Zhang's heart was full of anger and unwillingness.
The spring ploughing season was the beginning of hope, but Mr. Zhang encountered strong resistance from the village cadres. His agricultural machinery and vehicles were forced to stop, and his dreams were ruthlessly trampled on. The surveillance of the village committee made him feel like a thorn in his back, and his heart was cold. Under the tough attitude of the village and town cadres, Mr. Zhang felt helpless like never before.
Mr. Zhang, in 2004, contracted 5,000 acres of wasteland in the village, signed a 30-year contract, which expires in 2034. In order to be able to grow good crops on this land, Mr. Zhang spent nearly 20 years to upgrade the ground, spent a lot of manpower, financial and material resources, and invested millions of yuan.
However, just when Mr. Zhang was looking forward to the future, he was suddenly asked by the village: 4,650 mu of 5,000 mu of land, and pay a fee of 200 yuan per mu. Pay 200 yuan per mu of land, and pay another 930,000 yuan for 4,650 acres!
The contract is clearly written, isn't this an open robbery? Isn't this bullying? Mr. Zhang chose to ignore it, but when it came time for him to plough in the spring, he encountered a dilemma -- the village cadres kept an eye on Mr. Zhang 24 hours a day, and as long as he cultivated, someone would come and intercept him. Isn't this what banditry is?
"You have to hand over this money, there are requirements from above, even if the police come, it is useless! If I am asked to collect money, I will collect money!" "Mr. Zhang, now this land does not belong to you! It belongs to collective land." Your act of cultivating without permission is a robbery of collective land, and unless you pay the contract fee, you should not plant this land again!"
The deputy director's indifferent words and the deputy secretary's ruthless sentence seemed to tell him that this land no longer belonged to him. In desperation, Mr. Zhang chose to call the police, but he did not expect that even the police had become accomplices in this injustice.
Unexpectedly, when the police came, they put him directly in the car and took him away! They thought that Mr. Zhang was making trouble without reason, so they wanted to take him back. His heart was like a knife, and he was hit by reality.
After the incident was exposed, although it attracted widespread attention from the society, the results of the investigation and the way it was handled were disappointing. Mr. Zhang's heart, along with those understated punishments, sank to the bottom together.
First of all, on the issue of supplementing the contract fee, the circular acknowledged that it was a policy issued by Kailu County, which means that the initiator of this matter is actually the Kailu County Government. And there are obvious irregularities in such administrative acts. Mr. Zhang has already signed the contract, but what reason is there for the local government to overturn it? If it does, what is the credibility of the government? In this regard, is there anyone in the Kailu County Government who should be held accountable for this? However, there is no word in the circular.
Second, the village and town leaders prevented the contractors from farming, and in the report, it turned out to be the result of the farmers' comparison. Isn't it ridiculous that you don't take into account your own indiscriminate administration and put all the blame on others?
The handling of the three leaders was also an itch in the boots, and it only had a symbolic significance, and none of the people who actually introduced the policy were held responsible: the deputy secretary of the town party committee was dismissed from his post and given an intra-party warning; the village party secretary and deputy director of the village committee were given serious warnings.
Netizens have expressed their opinions on this-
"The decision-making power is the county party committee, and the victim is the town party committee. ”
"The village party secretary, the director, the deputy secretary of the town, and the police station who arrested people must all be fired, and they will never be hired. ”
"What is this deputy secretary's parents doing, can get him who doesn't understand the law into the public security system, check the system, and now he is still a deputy secretary, and then say that he doesn't know the law! Let's wait for the results! Let's see if there will be results before the spring ploughing passes, and whether the spring ploughing will be delayed. ”
"Is it just dismissal? He's already broken the law, shouldn't he be sentenced?"
"The number of years of contracting is how many years, and you can't overcharge just because the land is leveled now, not counting how much people have invested before, is this still called the government?"
Through the handling process of this cultivated land dispute, we can not only see the attitudes and measures of relevant departments in dealing with similar incidents, but also see the attention and participation of the majority of netizens in public affairs, and put forward many valuable suggestions and opinions.
It is also hoped that the relevant departments can take seriously the opinions and suggestions of the majority of netizens, incorporate them into the process of decision-making and management, form a joint force, and jointly promote the modernization of social governance, so that the society can develop in a more just and equitable environment and achieve long-term sustainable development goals.
The hard work of the farmers should not be let down, and Mr. Zhang's efforts should be respected. We look forward to the dawn of justice and hope that the relevant departments can return Mr. Zhang to justice and protect that hard-won hope for farmers.
Dear readers, what do you want to say about the fact that the cadres stopped the spring ploughing, three cadres were dealt with, and netizens questioned the fact that the handling was too light?
