Cause of the incident
The matter in Kailu County was in an uproar, and the peasants in Shuangsheng Village, Tongliao City, who were originally relieved to plow the land, suddenly jumped out of the village director, stood in front of the cultivator and shouted for the stop work to pay. When netizens heard this, they were angry: What money do you pay for planting?
The village chief's logic is this: the land used to be saline, and the villagers spent more than a decade turning it into fertile watered land. Now he wants the peasants to pay again at the price of watering the land. The farmers naturally don't do it, the contract is clearly written, the contract will be contracted until 2034, and the money will be paid, how can there be a reason to do it again halfway?
What's even more popular is that Ji Yunhao, the party secretary of Jianhua Town, also got involved, but his attitude was not to ease, but to be tougher: if he was disobedient, he would detain the car, and he said that he "didn't understand the law", why does this sound so awkward?
There was an uproar on the Internet, criticizing this blatant violation of the spirit of the contract. In the face of this anger, Kailu County had to respond and gave Ji Yunhao a dismissal gift, and several other cadres involved did not escape a harsh education.
Spicy comments from netizens
This matter in Kailu County is really uproaring. The contradictions between the village cadres and the peasants, coupled with those manipulative and disorderly remarks, directly ignited public anger. Netizens are discussing hotly, mainly around these focuses:
- Why do you have to pay for it?
The peasants had already paid the rent, and as a result, the land had been turned from grassland to fertile land, and now they had to pay extra money. Netizens didn't buy it, feeling that this was a money-grabbing thing! The land was improved bit by bit by the peasants themselves, so why should they pay more money if they say that it will change now? Isn't this a blatant exploitation?
- What should I do if I delay farming?
If the planting season is delayed, the loss is not only a little bit. The problem now is that if the golden period of farming is delayed, who will pay for the losses? Fortunately, after the matter became a big problem, the relevant departments said that they would resolve the matter through legal means to ensure that no one would stop the peasants from farming. At least the mess seems to have a clue now.
- Is it enough for cadres to be dismissed only?
For those officials with a rough style, netizens feel that simple dismissal is not enough, and they should be punished more severely. Everyone is saying that this kind of person should be dismissed, and only in this way can he be relieved. There are also people on the Internet who have turned the history of those cadres upside down, what kind of academic qualifications, promotion background, all of them have been picked up.
Reversal of events? Public opinion is oriented to a change
But at this moment, things seem to have ushered in a reversal! In the turbulent land of Kailu County, Mr. Zhang's deeds have taught everyone a lesson -- land, this thing, is really not something that anyone can play casually. Mr. Zhang's purchase of land has changed from a story of a farmer's suffering to a drama of land speculation in a blink of an eye.
To be reasonable, Mr. Zhang's trick is really good, 4 yuan per acre of land, it sounds exciting, who knows that he is the beginning of a small fight. As soon as it changed hands, Mr. Zhang subleased the land at a price of 700 yuan per mu, and this profit was simply a dream come true of making a small fortune. This kind of operation obviously dug up the corners of the village collective, and also made the brothers who later rented the land pay a lot of unjust money.
First of all, the "owners" of this land are actually two brothers, Zhang Wenzhu and Zhang Wenlin. One of these two people is in Horqin District, Tongliao City, and the other is in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and they are not local farmers at all. They contracted 5,600 acres of land, but instead of cultivating it themselves, they rented it to others who wanted to farm it. This operation does not sound simple, and it is obvious that the land is used as a tool to make money.
According to the official account, the Zhang brothers can make a lot of money from this land. They originally leased the land at a cost of 204 yuan per mu (including the original contract fee of 4 yuan and the subsequent payment of 200 yuan), and then subleased it at 700 yuan per mu. After calculation, they can earn 496 yuan per mu of land, which adds up to about 2.7776 million yuan a year, and 27.776 million yuan in ten years. This money is enough for anyone to wake up with a smile.
Most of the growers in those videos are people who have rented the Zhang brothers' land. That is to say, most of the rent they paid ended up in the pockets of the Zhang brothers.
The complication of this matter is that although the Zhang brothers' behavior seems quite shrewd, this way of making money through land does feel a bit out of bounds. Farmers were supposed to make money by producing food from the land, but now it seems that they have become rent-based on the land. Behind this are some loopholes in current land management and agricultural policies.
In this play, the original villain village cadres suddenly became less annoying. The reason is that they may also be trying to rectify this unfair lease situation by asking Mr. Zhang to pay some reasonable contract fees. After all, Mr. Zhang is making a lot of money, while the village collectives and ordinary tenant farmers may have to suffer.
The problem now is that Mr. Zhang's approach is obviously destroying the harmony of the countryside. Although he earned a vote, he also messed up the land rental market in the village. As soon as this incident came out, the atmosphere in the village would certainly not be peaceful, and what did the other peasants think when they found out?
Write at the end
The Zhang brothers have played a capital game on this fertile land by buying low and renting high, and it is expected that they will easily earn 28 million yuan in the next ten years. This incident not only draws the shadow of capital into rural land management, but also shows everyone the loopholes in the policy and the less authentic methods of officials in dealing with problems.
A few key points left us with food for thought:
- Has land policy kept pace with the changes? Can the current policy effectively prevent this kind of manipulation by capital? After all, land is used for growing food, not for speculation.
- The issue of the style of officials: How can people feel comfortable handing over the land to them in charge of the rudeness and "ignorance of the law" of the officials in the incident?
- The relationship between capital and public opinion: How did the Zhang brothers use the media to "justify themselves"? In today's era of information explosion, is capital manipulating our perceptions through public opinion?
We are not just discussing a small incident in Kailu County, but in fact it is a problem concerning everyone's job! What do you think, is this kind of land capitalization operation an opportunity or a challenge? Is it time for the government to take action to regulate and control it? Is there a similar situation in your hometown?
Everyone spoke enthusiastically, and let me know what you think! The affairs of this land are far more complicated than you and I imagined!
