Recently, the incident of "blocking spring ploughing" in Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, has set off a round of craze on the Internet.
Several village and town cadres in the video had a very tough attitude, not only blocking the spring plowing vehicles, but also detaining the cars and people, and even calling 110 to help.
A village director even made a bold statement: If you dare to turn over the ground, 200 people will come immediately (to block spring ploughing).
Why not let farmers spring plow?
According to common sense, as cadres in rural areas, the most important task is to do a good job in agricultural and grain production, but why don't they let the peasants turn over the land and take the initiative to take the lead in stopping it? This is unreasonable!
The crux of the problem lies in "money".
More than 20 years ago, several farmers jointly invested and contracted this piece of nearly 5,000 acres of land, which has only a small amount of arable land, most of which is meadow land, and the purpose of the contract was to plant pasture grass and provide fodder for cattle and sheep when the two sides signed the contract at the beginning.
Therefore, when signing the contract, the cost is very low, to borrow the words of the grower, "even if it is 5 yuan per mu, no one is willing to contract at that time".
It's just 20 years later that the land has changed dramatically.
After nearly 20 years of remediation and transformation by growers (cow dung and forage grass are buried in a circular manner), this is no longer the previous meadow land, but a fertile field where corn and other crops can be planted, and the yield per mu can reach more than 1,500 catties.
The local government began to increase fees last year, which was ambiguous at first, and then set at 200 yuan/mu, which caused a contradiction.
Contractor's attitude:
We have already paid the contract fee for 30 years, so why don't we follow the contract and still collect more money? If you collect money, you should also come out with a French rule, and you can't just come with your village cadres open their mouths.
The meaning of the village cadres:
If you say that I will collect money, I will collect money, and this is the rule above, and besides, this land is not yours, so you can pay it!
Subsequently, the reporter came to the village office, and the reason they gave was that it was originally a meadow land, but now they are used as cultivated land, and the nature of the land is different, so the contract must also be adjusted!
At present, some farmers have paid the money, and they just refuse to pay, which is why we have seen the farce of "many workers forcibly blocking spring ploughing".
After the incident fermented, the local government immediately made an explanation of the situation and a decision on punishment, the specific content of which is as follows:
Many villagers recounted: the ins and outs of the incident
Villager Yi:
He introduced from three aspects:
(1) At that time, the land they contracted was indeed not suitable for farming, and it was also true that it took "more than 10 years to improve the land", but there was one thing they did not explain, it was not the kind of saline-alkali land that did not grow any grass, but meadow land.
(2) The change began in 2020, when after the aerial photography of the third national land survey, a large piece of land in their house was collected into watered land, so there was a saying that there was a fee.
(3) When they signed the contract, because many farmers looked down on the land, the cost per mu was only four or five yuan, which was very low. This fee is not for their family, it is uniformly stipulated by the county, and many contractors like them have also paid.
Villager Hua:
I was even worse than him, because I was detained for two days last year for illegally occupying farmland because of the planting problem, and I didn't come out until my family paid bail.
Hua told reporters that his situation is similar to that in the report, he also contracted more than 100 acres of meadow land, and has been planting corn on this land for many years.
Villager Zhao:
In February this year, he received a notice saying that the contracted forest land was now classified as cultivated land and that he would be charged 200 yuan per mu.
Because village cadres intervened in the spring ploughing on the spot, many farmers had already paid this so-called "supplementary contract fee" in order to plant crops earlier.
The reported company contracted more than 5,000 acres, and the cost was nearly one million, because they prepared a large number of seeds and fertilizers in advance, and they must not have been able to come up with so much money......
Only then did we turn to the media for help, and then exposed our charging problem here.
After the incident fermented, the Red Star News reporter also interviewed the local village cadres on the question of "whether the fee will continue to be collected", and he said that this fee was issued by the county, and as long as the county did not issue another notice, the fee would still be collected.
Another local village cadre said that the nature of the land is not based on the contract, but on the data of the "three land adjustments".
Netizens also have different opinions
(1) Some netizens said that the planting nature of the land has changed, and the output of planting pasture and corn is not the same, in other words, the rent is different.
For example, if a house is rented out as a "residential" and a "store", the rent is definitely different.
(2) But some netizens said that since the contract has been signed, it should be done in accordance with the provisions of the contract, what do you care what I will use the land for 30 years?
(3) Some netizens also said that now the country's cultivated land itself is tight, since the contractor has cultivated the grassland into arable land, it should be encouraged, why is it overcharged?
(4) Some netizens retorted: If there is no permission from the state, the use of the land is changed casually, such as returning grass to the field, which will lead to greater tension in local water resources, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be punished and held accountable.
(5) Another netizen said that he didn't know why the rent of these lands was so cheap, but now it is clear.
Its use began to grow pasture grass and grazing, and Inner Mongolia knew that there were many cattle and sheep, and since the nature of the land had changed, it was not unreasonable to charge more money appropriately!
The only mistake should be the attitude of the officials, so this netizen supported the local briefing.
The above netizens are public and reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and there is no conclusion yet!
In the face of such an incident and such a result, what is everyone's attitude?
