A land dispute has sparked widespread concern in Kailu County. At first, the dismissal of a village cadre for inappropriate words and deeds seemed like an ordinary grassroots power dispute. However, as the incident deepens into the investigation and the official response, more questions and truths that are hidden beneath the surface begin to surface.

It is undeniable that Ji Yunhao, as a village cadre, has the problem of improper words and deeds. His tough style and rude language undoubtedly exacerbated the contradictions with the peasants and caused unnecessary conflicts. As a public official, he should have dealt with problems in a more civilized and rational way, rather than resorting to threats or violence. However, it is also an oversimplification to point the finger at him personally.

In fact, the policy of land charging in Kailu County itself is legal and compliant. This policy aims to collect the corresponding use fee for the new cultivated land generated after the change of land nature according to the national documents, so as to protect the collective interests of the village. To a large extent, this approach reflects the central government's emphasis on rural land use issues and its vision for reform. After all, in many areas, a large amount of arable land is occupied by non-agricultural construction or leasing, resulting in the loss and waste of land resources. Through the collection of fees, we can promote the rational use of land resources and promote the process of agricultural modernization.
This policy has also exposed some problems in the implementation process. Some farmers are hesitant and resistant to paying the new fees. After all, in their eyes, those original wasteland and forest land have become today's cultivated land through their own hard work and investment. The collection of fees is tantamount to a "second collection" of the fruits of one's own labor. Moreover, for some smaller farmers, the additional cost burden cannot be ignored.

It is in this context that the practices of some large players become even more remarkable. Taking Zhang Mouzhu as an example, he leased 5,600 acres of land at a low price of only 4 yuan per mu per year, which was clearly only used for dairy farming and feed planting. But in fact, he subleased most of the land to others again at a high price of more than 700 yuan per mu. According to this calculation, the rental income of only 4,000 acres is as high as more than 2.8 million yuan. However, he refused to pay the additional contract fee of more than 1 million yuan that he should pay, until the village had to take tough measures.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a naked profiteering, which seriously violates the original intention of signing the contract. Imagine how seriously the interests of the village collectives would be harmed if every contractor did this? This is obviously contrary to the original intention of the reform of the rural land system. What is even more distressing is that those farmers who leased land again from Zhang Mouzhu not only spent a lot of money, but also affected the harvest because they could not be reclaimed in time. From this point of view, the real victims are actually them.

Nor is the plight of farmers entirely attributable to individual actions. There are obvious deficiencies in the implementation of the policy, and there is a lack of sufficient publicity, guidance, and coordination and communication. Many farmers lack full awareness of the rationality and purpose of the supplementary contract fee, and naturally resist it. In the future, relevant departments need to step up policy explanations to win the understanding and support of farmers. At the same time, the benefit distribution mechanism should also be improved to ensure that farmers can receive corresponding returns after paying fees.

In addition to the problems at the policy implementation level, Ji Yunhao's personal family background has also been widely questioned and speculated. Under pressure from online public opinion, officials eventually denied the claim that his father was a cadre in Tongliao City, confirming that his father was an ordinary resident. However, regarding the suspicion of his academic fraud, the authorities said that they are still investigating and verifying.

On the one hand, this concentrated focus and speculation reflects the special public demand for public officials who must not only be honest and self-disciplined, but also have a clean family environment and personal history in order to win the trust of the public. On the other hand, the reason why Ji Yunhao's case has received so much attention is likely to be related to the negative impact caused by his inappropriate words and deeds. If he had been able to handle the problem in a more restrained and rational manner, it is likely that the conflict would not have intensified to such an extent.

In general, although the land fee incident in Kailu County has certain particularities, the issues involved in it are not isolated cases. With the advancement of the reform of the rural land system, how to balance the interests of the government, collectives and peasant households, how to promote agricultural modernization while protecting the rights and interests of peasants, and how to improve the transparency and implementation of policies are all worthy of our in-depth consideration.

It is hoped that this incident will spark more discussion about the path of rural development, rather than getting bogged down in disputes over personal rights and wrongs. At the same time, it also makes us realize that the implementation of any policy requires the understanding and cooperation of all parties. Only by strengthening communication and resolving differences can we make the road to reform steady and far-reaching.
