The 5,000-mu contract fee was exposed, and the cadres were wronged?
Recently, an incident of "cadres blocking peasants from farming" in Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, has aroused the attention and heated discussions of the whole country. At the beginning, everyone expressed anger and incomprehension at the village cadres' demand that the peasants pay "supplementary contract fees." However, the situation was reversed subsequently - the official report said that the suspected cadres had been wronged? Let's walk into this magnificent incident and see what happened?
Waves rise from flat ground
It stands to reason that the 30-year land contract signed between the peasants and the village committee is unequivocal. After paying off the land contract fees twice, who would have expected that there would be such a "supplementary fee"? Xiao Youyou learned in the interview:
Lao Zhang, a farmer, said: "We contracted the 5,600 acres of land in 2004 and signed a contract for 30 years. At that time, according to the price of saline-alkali land, 96,000 yuan was paid for the first time. A few years later, we relied on our own hard work to finally renovate the land into watered land. In 2022, the village will ask us to pay another 62,000 yuan. "
Lao Zhang spread out an invoice: "According to this calculation, we only pay less than 1 yuan a year for an acre of land! Now the village says that we want to pay another 200 yuan per mu a year, which is too black-hearted, right?"
The village cadres used strong words
"It's not a black heart at all. A cadre in the village immediately defended himself: "Although the land is still 5,600 acres, the nature is different. From saline-alkali land to fertile soil, the value will naturally rise. Since the farmers have benefited, it is normal for them to contribute a little more and pay more land fees, right?"
The remark drew a burst of laughter. One villager said, "But the land has changed for the better, and it's all up to our own hands!
Another villager then said: "If we really think about the peasants, shouldn't we also take the initiative to reduce our fees when we are poor? Now that you have been lifted out of poverty by your own hard work, you will kill us?" The rhetorical question pierced the heart, and the village cadres were speechless.
Turmoil continues, and contradictions intensify
The situation soon escalated into a confrontation between the peasants and the cadres. More than 10 people were dispatched to the village to block all the exits of the village, and the peasants were not allowed to enter their contracted land.
The peasants were indignant and vowed to fight for their rights. The cadres were justified in believing that their decision was reasonable. The two sides came and went, and the scene was very sinister for a while.
Just when everyone thought that the situation would further escalate, the Kailu County Government suddenly issued a second circular, explaining the ins and outs of the "supplementary contract fee" and removing Ji Yunhao, deputy secretary of the town party committee, from his post. It seems that the official has finally woken up, but is it tacitly accepted about the supplementary contracting fee?
The official explanation adds to the confusion
However, just when people were hoping that the situation would be eased, the official explanation became the fuse that pushed the situation to a new climax! The wording of the circular was ambiguous, giving people the impression that the officials were quibbling and shirking responsibility. Some people even questioned that the deputy secretary of the town party committee was just a scapegoat who obeyed the arrangement, and the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet been discovered.
Netizens are hotly discussed
And the official approach has also caused widespread controversy and criticism on the Internet:
Some netizens questioned: "Is it legal for the official to unilaterally ask for an increase in fees after the contract has been signed?"
Some people also denounced the official unreasonableness: "If the price of your house has increased, can the developer force you to pay more?"
