Yanei of Rebirth

Is there anyone who asks a 70-year-old to pay poll tax?

These words, every word is as heavy as a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Jun's heart fiercely.

It was not the first time Liu Jun heard this sentence.Strictly speaking, not the first time I saw it.

Remember before rebirth, in that world. In the mid-90s, a secretary of the township party committee in a neighboring province complained angrily to the general secretary about the issue of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.Later, the secretary of the township party committee wrote a special article to talk about the three rural issues.This sentence was written in it.An old man under his rule questioned him as the secretary of the township party committee.Why do 70-year-olds have to pay poll tax!

Those who express the three rural issues in this way: the countryside is really poor, the farmers are really miserable, and agriculture is really dangerous! [

Liu Jun remembered after he read that book.I shed tears.But at that time, he was just a wage earner in a factory, and after a while of resentment.And gradually forgot about it.But never thought of it.Will be here, being asked the same question by an old man.

Now, he is not a wage earner, but the magistrate of Ningbei County, the official of the parents of 100 million people in Ningbei County!

This question cannot be avoided.

Farmers have a heavy burden, and Liu Jun understands it very well.And this situation is getting worse all over the country.Every township has to support many people outside the establishment, eat too much imperial food, and the finances do not fully allocate funds, so they only have the idea of ​​​​ruling the peasants.

In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the weak industrial foundation, in order to support the development of industry, the country has adopted the policy of "scissors between industry and agriculture" for a long time, using agricultural production to subsidize and transfuse industry.This policy supported the development of domestic industry to a certain extent, but also left many sequelae.After all, our country is a big agricultural country and is in the process of development.

Excessively sacrificing the interests of agriculture" will inevitably cause many hidden dangers.

But now, the problem has become very serious.

After hearing Mei Lao's words, Liu Jun has not yet opened his mouth.Mei Wenhua became anxious, stepped forward quickly, and said to the old man: "Old man, you can report the problems in your village to the village chief and party secretary. If the village does not solve them, you can report them to the town. I am Mei Wen, secretary of the town committee. Hua, what's your problem, come to the town to find me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll solve it for you, okay?"

Mei Wenhua was so angry in his heart!

This old man is really ignorant!

Asking in front of County Mayor Liu, isn't this a slap in the face of their town?A "violent anti-law incident." The county did not pursue it, and it already valued Mei Wenhua very much, and now there is another incident like this!

But with Liu Jun around, Mei Wenhua didn't dare to get angry.

The other accompanying cadres all looked strange.

"Ah, you are Secretary Mei in the town"

Old Mei was startled.

Mei Wenhua still has a high prestige in Wuliqiao Town.

"Then, you are"

Old Mei looked at Liu Jun again, and asked suspiciously.

The secretaries of the town committee are all followers, so what kind of background is this young man? [

"Mr. Mei, my name is Liu Jun, and I am the county magistrate."

Liu Jun said bluntly.

"County, the county magistrate?"

Old Mei fainted all of a sudden.

"Oh, you old man, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mei Lao's wife was also frightened, and complained loudly to Lao Wan.

Mrs. Mei was really unexpected.How could he expect to meet the head of a county on the mountain?Besides, Liu Jun is so young.Elder Mei thought it was an ordinary cadre from the county government who came to the village to inspect the orchard.this time.People from the city often come to see these fruit trees.

Now it was tantamount to suing the town and village cadres to the county magistrate. No wonder Mr. Mei's wife wanted to complain about him.

"Mr. Mei, you asked a good question! It really shouldn't be required for a 70-year-old to pay poll tax!"

Liu Jun waved his hand, stopped Mr. Mei's wife and the furious Mei Wenhua, and said to Mr. Mei sincerely, with a heavy tone.

"I didn't understand this situation before. I am a bureaucrat. I assure you that from now on, all the elderly in the county over the age of 60 will no longer have to pay poll tax!"

This matter was not originally a policy of the county, but was determined by the village cadres themselves.

Liu Jun abolished it, and there was no need to discuss it with Peng Shaoxiong in advance, just let it go after the event.

Liu Jun originally wanted to say that certain benefits should be given to the elderly over 70 years old, considering the economy of Ningbei County.If you can't reach that level at all, you don't dare to make random promises.

"really?"

Elder Mei was taken aback again.

"really!"

Liu Jun nodded.

"If any cadres in the town or village collect poll tax from you, you can come to the county to find me directly. I will punish them"

Liu Jun said it very firmly!

Elder Mei was immediately excited and said a lot of words of thanks.

Liu Jun smiled, and chatted with Mr. Mei again.Old Mei knew that he was indeed the queen of the county magistrate.There were a lot of scruples, and he didn't dare to speak casually. He would answer whatever Liu Jun asked, and most of the questions were vague. [

Liu Jun has no choice.People are not afraid of him, the county magistrate, but the town officials behind him.With you, County Magistrate Liu, here.The cadres in the town naturally dare not make mistakes, but once the county magistrate Liu leaves, it will be hard for Mei and the old couple to be in their seventies, and they are not afraid of anything." The key is that his children and grandchildren are all in Wujiaqiao Town.

These township cadres are grand and gentle, not many!

"County magistrate, I, I'm going to review with you. Not long after I left the mountain, Mei Wenhua couldn't help it anymore. He lowered his head and said to Liu Jun.

The cadres in other towns, including Pan Zhiren, wisely distanced themselves from them.Watching Secretary Mei suffer, his face must be ugly!

Liu Jun waved his hand and said softly, "I don't blame you! This is not about you alone, nor is it about a town in Wuliqiao Town. If it goes up, there will always be a shortage of money to spend, and it is inevitable that farmers will be tricked!"

Mei Wenhua nodded again and again.

County magistrate Liu is reasonable and doesn't throw hairs indiscriminately.Really a good leader.

Liu Jun took out a cigarette, handed one to Mei Wenhua, and put one in his mouth.Mei Wenhua quickly took out the lighter and lit it for Liu Jun.Liu Jun took two puffs of his cigarette and stood on the mountain road.Looking into the distance, he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Wenhua, I have a question for you"

Liu Jun said suddenly, his eyes were still looking into the distance.

"Excuse me, the county magistrate!"

"The expansion of the establishment, the expansion of personnel. Is it really unstoppable?"

Liu Jun said slowly.

Mei Wenhua was secretly surprised.

The burden on farmers is heavy and the economy is underdeveloped. This is also an important reason.Mei Wenhua is at the grassroots level and serves as the secretary of the party committee. He only has a deeper and more thorough understanding of these situations than Liu Jun.

It's just that Liu Jun's question is really difficult to answer.

The number of people in various villages and towns continues to expand. On the one hand, there is indeed a shortage of manpower.Township work may seem simple, but in fact it is very trivial. Although the sparrow is small and complete, all aspects must be taken into account.The tasks assigned above must be completed.It is very difficult to rely on some cadres and staff in the formal establishment.Therefore, many temporary workers were recruited.

On the other hand, it is a lot of relationship products.They took the opportunity to rush in, scrambling for the iron rice bowl, to eat the imperial food, and to slander and guarantee their income.

This group of people has backers and backers.Can't afford to offend easily.

"Major, there is still a solution"

Mei Wenhua answered carefully, considering his words.

Liu Jun is not the kind of old official who likes to listen to flattery. He gave away a few top hats and accepted them lightly, and then hello, hello, hello everyone!He really wants to make some achievements.

People are not short of money, just want to do something practical.

Because of this, Mei Wenhua did not dare to say that there was no way.As soon as the words came out, it was all smashed.Why does County Magistrate Liu still want to see you?But Mei Wenhua didn't dare to smack her chest indiscriminately.

Big bag.

This is to see the real chapter!

"!"

Liu Jun still looked into the distance and asked casually.

"The withdrawal of districts and townships this time is an opportunity. The army is streamlined and the administration is streamlined. This is the right time! Originally, three to four townships were merged into one, and many overlapping institutions and personnel can take advantage of the opportunity to merge and reduce the swelling. It should be possible to clear a large number of idle things. Personnel. The organization has been streamlined and the number of personnel has been reduced. The burden will naturally be lightened.”

Mei Wenhua said.

"Then what happens after this streamlining? In the future, each township will continue to recruit staff one after another, the organization will increase, and the team will expand. Isn't this a vicious circle?"

Liu Jun looked away from a distance.Looking at Mei Wenhua, he said peacefully.

Mei Wenhua was stuck.

Liu Jun not only hit the point, but also exposed a catty.Deeper question.This time, with the withdrawal of districts and townships, certain subsidies will be given to the temporary workers who are cleared.Once the subsidy is in hand, it won't be long before those related households will still ask the door to arrange in and continue to eat the imperial food.And part of this subsidy will naturally fall into the pockets of the responsible cadres in the township.

In other words, streamlining is just a pretext.The government spent an extra sum of subsidies in vain, and people will only become more and more bloated.

"Magistrate, please forgive me for knowing."

Mei Wenhua gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Jun looked at him, waiting calmly.

"During the time you stay in Ningbei County, this problem will not be serious. The documents of the county party committee and county government will be effectively implemented. However, you will leave Ningbei County one day. At that time, Eel Peng If you spread your wings and have a long journey, it is hard to say whether your successor will stick to the principles like you."

Mei Wenhua made it clear.

You, Liu Jun, are in the yamen, so you can be neither greedy nor cuddly.You don't have to care about what the cadres around you think of you.But the succeeding magistrate or secretary.Can I still have confidence like you?Even if he is not greedy or cuddly, how can he not be scruples about his network of relationships?

Liu Jun nodded and let out a sigh of relief.Said: "You are very reasonable. No matter how comprehensive the system is, no matter how strict the rules are, lack of supervision will always be useless. It seems that we must hurry up and improve the economy of Ningbei County as soon as possible. burden on farmers".
