After eating, Shen Zilie burped and stood under the jujube tree in the courtyard of the Shiqiao Township Government. He crossed his arms and discussed with Song Chenghua, the secretary of the Shigu District Party Committee, Yu Lianshan, the secretary of the Shiqiao Township Party Committee, and Shi Chengtai, the mayor of Shiqiao Township. This year we are facing huge difficulties in collecting agricultural taxes and unified withdrawals.

The township government saw that it was renovated from the courtyard left before liberation. However, one side of the wing was demolished, and a dozen small green-tiled houses were built along the demolished area. The red sandstone was weathered by wind and rain. The colors are of different shades, the Sanhe soil in the yard looks rough, and a few department signs are simply leaning against the wall. It always looks a bit more shabby and shabby.

"Old Song, I don't care what you think of. There are hundreds of people relying on fiscal wages in the five towns in Shigu District. If you can't collect agricultural taxes and unified withdrawals, it only means that you The Shigu District Party Committee Secretary is unqualified, and your Shigu District Party Committee has no fighting capacity. When the time comes, all the cadres will look at the secretary and the township chiefs. Don’t you, as the District Party Committee Secretary, have no pressure at all?"

"Secretary Shen, it's not that we didn't think of a way, but the IOUs issued last year have not been cashed this year, and the situation is like this again this year. What do you want us to do? To implement it, we must first let the County Grain Bureau solve the IOU problem. I, Song Chenghua, dare to guarantee this. If his Grain Bureau can solve the problem of IOUs, I dare to say that there is absolutely no problem with the agricultural tax, and I can make do with more than half of the unified withdrawals!"

Song Chenghua, secretary of the Shigu District Party Committee, was a soldier. He had a scar from the lower end of his right cheek to his neck. He was scratched by shrapnel while fighting on the Laoshan front line. This also caused his facial expression to change when he spoke. His expression looked particularly fierce.

"The problem of IOUs exists everywhere, and the situation may be more serious this year." Shen Zilie walked around the jujube tree in the yard, put his hands behind his hands and said slowly: "Now everyone is complaining about why the country does not collect grain. The protective price is too low, and the country is in a difficult situation now. The grain warehouses are already full of grain, but you have to harvest the grain from farmers every year. It’s not that there is too much grain, but that the grain conversion rate is low. High value-added by-products are too low, which has led to farmers now having to plant them even if they don’t want to, and the state having to harvest them even if they don’t want to. The state’s annual subsidy on grains reaches tens of billions of yuan, which is detrimental to our country’s insufficient finances. It’s also a huge burden and it’s difficult.”

"Isn't that what it is? Secretary Shen, our Shigu District is a large population area, with a population of 160,000, and a surplus labor force of at least 70,000 or 80,000. Every year, except for a few thousand people who go out to work, everyone else can only stay at home. , there are only so many farm jobs at home, busy during the busy farming season, and idle during the off-farming period, gambling, sexual relations between men and women, everything happens. Didn’t the ancients say that when you are full and warm, you will think about sex, but when you are hungry and cold, you will breed thieves? "Xin, now in our rural areas, it is basically no problem to fill our bellies, but once our bellies are full, we just want to have a few in our pockets, or we want our families to be more comfortable, but there is no way."

Although Song Chenghua has a fierce face, he is a chatterbox. Once he opens the topic, he cannot hold it back.

"Working part-time, you have no money to pay for travel and living expenses, and you don't have much education. Who dares to go out easily? What if you don't make any money and have to spend a lot of money when you go out? Isn't it in vain? This is especially true for girls and young wives. There are so many kidnappers these days, and they even specialize in abducting acquaintances. If you fail, you will have to be sent to Inner Mongolia, Shanxi. You will not be able to come back in ten or eight years. Statistics from our district police station every year Three or five women have to be abducted, either sold to a few brothers and a family as wives, or sold to those old bachelors in their forties or fifties, families with nothing but a kang or even a quilt at home. Every year our district police station goes out to crack down on abductees. Our district and all the towns have to help subsidize thousands of dollars in anti-trafficking funds."

"Okay, Lao Song, we were talking about white notes and agricultural tax system withdrawals and collections, and you sidetracked me again." Shen Zilie frowned and interrupted the other party.

"Secretary Shen, how can you say it's been pushed aside?" Song Chenghua shook his head like a rattle, "It's very important. Now the stomach problem in our rural areas has been solved, but the pocket problem cannot be solved. For ordinary people, in the fields The income is enough to feed the family for free, and the price of grain cannot be raised, so the money sold can only be paid in agricultural taxes and unified withdrawals, plus fertilizer and seed money, and labor is not included. This also requires pockets. If there are only a few people living in the house, they can only go out to work. If the family conditions are poor, or if you encounter someone with sores or diseases, then you will have to owe agricultural taxes and government withdrawals. Over time, the number of households will increase, and the number of households will increase. Secretary, we have a lot of households in Shigu District with historical debts, which have been accumulated over many years. If you don’t pay, other people will inevitably have a negative effect when they see it, and they will have to default on their debts. How can others refuse to pay? , why do I have to hand it in? Now let’s talk about this white note, so how do I do this job?”

"Well, this is because our industrial base in Nantan is too poor, and township and village enterprises have not been able to develop. Lao Song, didn't you also set up some enterprises in Shigu District? This should also be able to solve the employment of part of the labor force and increase the cash flow of farmers. Income." Shen Zilie said something insincerely.

Song Chenghua scratched his head in embarrassment: "Secretary Shen, you are criticizing our district for not doing a good job. Do you still know about our companies? The more you invest, the more you lose, but it's solved. There are some problems, but..., well, it’s not easy to fix anything these days.”

Shen Zilie also knew what Song Chenghua had not said. There were many districts and counties like Shigu. It could be said that most of them were similar to those in Shigu District. They had no resources, no technology, and no talents. , except for the surplus labor force, if you want to create a company out of thin air, it is simply a matter of rushing ducks to the shelves. You can only rely on the government to take the lead and the township alloys will invest.

If the market situation happens to be good and the company can still operate, but if the market changes, it will be a loss, a big loss, a big loss, what should I do if I lose? Alloy will continue to support it.

But this alloy association is actually guaranteed by the government's credibility. It is all people's money. Enterprises have borrowed money and they have to pay it back. However, every party committee and government in this term only cares about the present. After their own term, they themselves As soon as he slaps his butt and walks away, the hole he made is no longer his business. Whoever has this powder keg explodes in his hands will be unlucky. They all have this thought, and with the funds obtained, they will inevitably have to pay for it. If you get some fishy fish on your hands, if you are brave enough, you can still make a big profit from it.

Everyone understands the secret of this. Especially in the past two years, the whole country has vigorously advocated that no work can lead to wealth. Township enterprises have become the largest source of fiscal revenue for township party committees and governments. Moreover, township enterprises are managed by township industrial companies. In fact, this is not the case. Even under the jurisdiction of the township party committee and government, where the party committee and government need support, they can also arrange for these enterprises to contribute money and efforts to solve problems in a clear way, which can be said to be very handy.
