Recently, the leaders of Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, did not allow farmers to farm, which attracted the attention of the majority of netizens. It's not just us ordinary people who are very concerned about this matter, but even China's Sannong also released a video when the matter was first exposed, expressing the hope that the leaders of Jianhua Town, Kailu County, can attach great importance to this matter and investigate and deal with it in a timely manner.
The beginning of the turmoil: the plight of the Zhang brothers and the anger of netizens
In the Kailu County Farming Incident, the protagonists are divided into two parties, one is the Zhang family brothers who have signed a 30-year contract for the contracted land, and now the contract has not expired and is required to pay again, and the other is the leader of Jianhua Town, Kailu County.
In the earliest video, we can see that the leaders of Jianhua Town, Kailu County, charged the Zhang brothers during spring ploughing, and threatened to "If I am asked to collect money, I will collect money, and if you don't pay today, you won't be allowed to farm."
Not to mention that no matter who is right or wrong, it is wrong to prevent farmers from spring ploughing and affect the interests of farmers, not to mention that the leaders of Jianhua Town in the video have a bad attitude and rough language, and even bring the local police together.
That's why it caused a lot of anger among netizens. Now, under the investigation of many parties, the matter has gradually become clear.
Unraveling the Truth: The Story Behind Contracted Land
Some people say that the Zhang brothers who contracted the land were not farmers, so there was no such thing as "not allowing farmers to farm". From the reporter's interview, it can be concluded that the Zhang brothers came from the township to attract investment.
The Zhang brothers believe that the contract that was originally contracted to them was clearly written on it, and the 5,600 mu of land they contracted was obviously grassland.
In the last 20 years, they have used their own efforts, invested their own money, applied fertilizer and sprinkler irrigation, and finally turned this grassland into watered land.
"It was a meadow that didn't grow anything, the field was full of potholes, and it couldn't get off the bulldozer at all, so we padd it out step by step," and the Zhang brothers said that the crops they planted on this land were all allowed by the village.
Alfalfa was planted in the field before, and the leaders rewarded them, and they also planted silage corn and gave them silage subsidies on the slippery land, why didn't the leaders at that time say that the Zhang brothers' land was grassland and could not be planted?
I didn't doubt how the Zhang brothers' grassland became irrigated land, nor did they say that they would charge additional fees for making a profit after the grassland became irrigated land?
There is another place that netizens question, that is, it is rumored on the Internet that the Zhang brothers resold the land to earn the difference.
The Zhang brothers themselves admitted that they had rented 5,600 acres of land, and 3,000 acres were currently contracted out, mainly because their families could no longer afford to plant them.
In order to turn the grassland into irrigated land, the cost of investing nearly 10,000 yuan per mu of land is nearly 10,000 yuan, and they themselves do not have that much money. We can only "keep repaying bank loans and borrowing bank loans."
Later, 3,000 acres of land were contracted out, also because they had to repay their debts, and they really had no money, so they had to contract out 3,000 acres of land.
Moreover, the Zhang brothers admitted that the subleased land was 700 yuan per mu, and they did not think that they were earning the difference in the middle, because they invested money per mu of land in the early stage.
According to the calculation, there is a cost of 10,000 yuan per mu of land, which they paid out of their own pockets, and the contract is from March 20, 2004 to March 20, 2034, and there are 10 years to expire.
Therefore, no one can control how much he rents to others per acre, he doesn't rent out the land, and others can't care about it, even if he rents 7,000 yuan per acre, others can't care.
Villagers' Perspective: Disputes and Doubts about Paid Royalties
In fact, in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, not only the Zhang family and his son were charged paid royalties.
The small contractors in the village have already paid for the use of the seedlings in order to sow the seedlings early, but they believe that the money should be collected after the contract expires.
The reporter interviewed Liang, a villager in Shuangsheng Village. Liang himself said, "At the beginning, I contracted barren grassland, and after the three adjustments of the land, it became cultivated land, and if we want to plant, we have to continue to pay money, and we need to pay 200 yuan per mu." ”
At first, the village committee said that the villagers thought it was too expensive to afford, and only after consultation did they decide to charge only 100 yuan per mu of land as a paid user fee.
The remaining 100 yuan has to be given to the village IOU, and as for the time of the IOU, neither the village committee nor the villagers have disclosed. Liang thinks that the Zhang brothers should pay the money.
Because when the land was contracted, the Zhang brothers also participated in the villagers' consultation meeting at that time, and he admitted that when the Zhang brothers turned the grassland into watered land.
The initial investment must be large, but it is not as big as the cost of 10,000 yuan per mu of land as mentioned by the Zhang brothers. And now the Zhang brothers have subleased 3,000 acres of land for 700 yuan per mu.
At that time, it was leased to the Zhang brothers at 4 yuan per mu of land, so the Zhang brothers' move to sublease the land can be said to be profiteering. And Liang said.
Even if the Zhang brothers collect this fee, they should be distributed to the villagers, after all, the contract price was too cheap at the beginning.
According to the reporter's visit, it can be known that in the early years, in order to control the "three wildernesses" (barren sand, barren beach, and barren water), Kailu County once launched and signed a three-three system land contract, that is, part of the land was contracted to the villagers.
Among them, 1/3 is divided into grassland, 1/3 is divided into forest land, and 1/3 is divided into cultivated land, but some villagers reported that their families contracted more than 120 acres of land that year, 24 acres of forest land, nearly 100 acres of grassland, and only 0.95 acres of irrigated land can be planted. (Obviously it is a three-three system, why didn't the principle of three-three system be followed when dividing?)
But now 46 acres of land have been zoned for irrigation. The land that was zoned for irrigation was originally planted with corn, but last year there was no money at all, because of the three adjustments of the country.
Paid fees have only started this year. The situation of the other villagers is the same as that of this villager.
Escalation: The Zhang brothers are also mired in public opinion
Why was it that at the beginning of the incident, the Zhang brothers were obviously victims, but now some netizens think that they are a new type of landlord?
In 2004, the Zhang brothers contracted 5,600 acres of land at 4 yuan per mu. Converted, 672,000 yuan is needed in 30 years, and the people who can come up with nearly 700,000 yuan in 2004 must not be ordinary farmers.
Even if you put it now, if you take out 700,000 yuan in one go, you shouldn't be a farmer. Moreover, the Zhang brothers subcontracted 3,000 acres of land to others.
The price is 700 yuan per mu, 4 to 700, and the windfall profit reaches more than 2 million yuan a year. To put it bluntly, in fact, seeing that the Zhang brothers make money so easily, their eyes are red, even if they don't do anything for a year, they can earn more than 2 million yuan by lying on the kang.
Others say that the land was leased in the name of a dairy farm by the Zhang brothers, but later it was changed to irrigated land and crops such as alfalfa and corn were planted.
Although the Zhang brothers paid a certain amount of money and effort to improve the soil, their purpose was not to respond to the call of the state, but to be able to obtain more profits, rent to other farmers, and turn around and become the second landlord.
There are also rumors that Zhang Wenzhu of the Zhang family is a staff member of a higher-level department, mainly responsible for land management and rural work, and Zhang Wenzhu is also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Zhang Wenzhu is in this position, whether it is contracting land or subcontracting land, he has superior conditions that others do not have. Therefore, after Zhang Wenzhu contracted the land.
They don't raise cattle, they don't farm the land, they just change the properties of the land and then contract them to real farmers who need to farm the land. If Zhang Wenzhu's rumors are true.
So, is there a collusion between officials and businessmen to jointly encroach on collective resources and make huge profits?
I have to admit the facts
The truth of the matter has not yet been investigated, and what is said above is just speculation by netizens about this matter, but we have to admit that the truth is.
The Zhang brothers did pay out of their own pockets and paid for their labor and financial resources. Turned decades of grassland into irrigated land, and while the Zhang brothers were planting other crops.
The leaders did not hinder them, and even rewarded them when they planted alfalfa, and only began to collect fees after the third adjustment of the country.
When the staff of the higher-level department collects fees, there are indeed bad attitudes, rude language, and failure to enforce the law in accordance with regulations.
Moreover, according to the relevant regulations, some forest land and grassland are classified as cultivated land when the contracted land is transferred to the third national territory, resulting in the occurrence of new cultivated land before the paid fee is charged.
Regardless of whether or how the nature of the land has changed, in the case of the signing of the contract, the matter should be done in accordance with the contract in accordance with the law. Even if the village committee wants to collect paid fees, it should wait until the contract expires and the contractor wants to renew the lease before the village committee has the right to propose additional paid royalties.
