Chapter 546: Farmer representative who is not a farmer

We decided to hold the first symposium in Suxi Town.

Yue Bai organized all the farmer representatives according to our requirements, waiting for our group to go to the meeting.

Meeting with farmers, there is no need to pay attention to the seriousness of the venue, and farmers will not follow the rules. The best way is to get some melon seeds, peanuts, cigarettes, etc., which is the best choice.

Yue Bai has worked at the grassroots level for a long time and knows the habits of farmer brothers well. Therefore, when we entered the venue, the first thing we saw was melon seed shells on the ground and the sound of cracking melon seeds.

The room was filled with smoke, mixed with sweat and indescribable smells, making a large conference room smoky.

Since it is a research symposium, there is no need to make it very formal. Although the air was not good, I was still very satisfied with the atmosphere of the venue. I have experienced such familiar scenes countless times.

I scanned the room full of people. Apart from Yue Bai, other town cadres could not participate. The defensive psychology of farmer brothers is very strong. When there are many people, they will not tell the truth. Especially in front of town cadres, these masters are managing them, and they will not offend them in front of outsiders, so as not to be given hard shoes after people leave.

My eyes saw Zhao Dequan also sitting among them, and looking at the people beside him, I actually found Sun Demao and Qian Youyu.

I wanted to laugh. These few people are no longer farmers, why did they come to participate in this symposium?

I asked with a smile: "Old Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Dequan giggled and said: "Meeting."

"What meeting are you having?"

"Whatever meeting you are having, I am having." Zhao Dequan said incomparably seriously, he restrained his smile, his face was serious and sincere.

I left him and went to ask Sun Demao.

Sun Demao's answer was exactly the same as Zhao Dequan's, as if they had discussed it in advance, even the tone and expression of speaking were almost exactly the same.

I knew that asking Qian Youyu again would not have any surprises. So I turned my head to look at Yue Bai, hoping she could give me an explanation.

In my knowledge, Zhao Dequan and the others have all bought household registration and are no longer farmers in the true sense. If they are not farmers, participating in the farmer representative symposium, isn't it ridiculous?

Yue Bai smiled faintly and said to me in a low voice: "They were not invited by me, they insisted on coming."

A trace of unhappiness flashed in my heart. You Yue Bai are a dignified town party secretary, and you will be swayed by others? As long as you don't agree, can they enter the venue?

Lao Ma spoke for us first, nothing more than that research work needs everyone's cooperation, hoping everyone will speak freely, think about what to say.

As soon as Lao Ma's words fell, Zhao Dequan stood up and asked: "Leader, you are not joking, are you?"

Zhao Dequan's attitude made me angry! Everyone knows that Suxi Town was my territory in the past. In front of so many people, daring to ask such a question to the cadres who came down from the province is not giving me face!

I said with a black face: "Old Zhao, you sit down and listen first, don't talk too much."

Zhao Dequan laughed, he still had scruples about me. When we were together in the past, no matter who was present, as long as he made me unhappy, my killer move was to lift my leg and kick. For this, Zhao Dequan didn't know how many kicks he had eaten on his butt.

However, every time I kicked his butt, Zhao Dequan would appear incomparably happy. In his view, I kicked him because I had him in my eyes. It was his honor, a portrayal of his intimacy with me.

My words played a little role, and Zhao Dequan sat down with a smile.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Demao next door stood up again.

"Leader, if agricultural tax is no longer collected, will head tax still be collected?"

Sun Demao's question is not understood by ordinary people, only those who have experienced that era have a deep impression.

The so-called head tax is actually part of the agricultural tax. Most of the agricultural taxes in the countryside are determined by the amount of land and the number of people, that is to say, half of the land is the most basic way. And the so-called half of the land means that the land bears half of the agricultural tax, and the head bears half. In this way, no matter whether you have land or not, as long as you wear a farmer's hat, you have to pay tax as soon as you land.

I had no desire to answer Sun Demao's question, but asked him: "Old Sun, you are not a farmer now, are you?"

Sun Demao quickly accompanied with a smile and said: "I am, who said I am not? I am a farmer."

"This depends on the household registration book." I emphasized: "Of course, whether you are a farmer or not is not important, as long as you have been a farmer, you have the right to speak."

Seeing that the symposium was in chaos, I simply called names to speak.

The first one I asked to speak was Pan Shurong. He is a real farmer and a village party secretary, and has the most right to speak.

Pan Shurong didn't expect me to call his name first. He hummed for a long time, didn't say a word, and sat down again, smiling awkwardly: "Let others speak first, I don't know what to say."

The first shot was a dud, and I started to get angry in my heart. In the past, such a problem could not have occurred at all. When I was the town mayor and secretary, as long as they saw me, they were like eighty-year-old grandmothers, chattering and couldn't stop at all. Sometimes I didn't want to listen, and couldn't stop them. Even if you go to the toilet, he will follow you, stand outside the door and continue chattering.

I guessed that Pan Shurong had nothing to say, and next it should be Qian Youyu's turn.

Sure enough, as soon as my idea popped up, Qian Youyu stood up.

I nodded and smiled at him. Qian Youyu's son was the first batch of people who bought household registration and went out. As for him, the past household registration didn't move, otherwise he couldn't be a village chief. However, the people in his village had all the land of the whole village requisitioned when building the expressway. Farmers without land are not farmers in the true sense. It happened that I was engaged in the relocation of Suxi Town and needed urban household registration to fill the number. He and the people in Yuetang Village were all sent urban household registration by me.

In this way, Qian Youyu is not a farmer now.

Qian Youyu is the richest person in this room. He has a construction engineering company under his name, and his business is said to have reached outside the province. He also set up the most luxurious hotel in the whole town in Suxi Town. He is a well-deserved rich man.

According to his status, he is now eight poles away from farmers.

As soon as Qian Youyu's words came out, I knew this old guy had caused me trouble.

"Leader, you are not fooling us by doing this research, are you?"

I laughed: "How is it possible? This is a task assigned by the province."

Qian Youyu smiled and said: "In the past, farmers were crushed by agricultural tax and couldn't straighten their waists. One mu of land collected six hundred catties of rice, and handing over four hundred catties of grain was not enough for agricultural tax and retention funds. It was not easy not to be a farmer, and now agricultural tax is not collected, what kind of tricks are you leaders preparing to make?"

I waved my hand and said: "You are not a farmer, this has nothing to do with you."

Qian Youyu looked at me and said: "There is still a relationship. For example, our Yuetang Village is now a paired village with Laoyingzui Village. Yuetang Village has no agricultural household registration, but Laoyingzui still has it. The problem is, we people without land, this policy can't take care of us? In this way, we have suffered a big loss again."

As soon as Qian Youyu's words fell, Zhao Dequan echoed, saying repeatedly: "That's it, that's it. We Laoyingzui, each family sent an urban household registration. These household registrations took away more than half of our village's land. Changing household registration and not seeing actual things, apart from writing that we are not farmers on the household registration book, we still have to go to the soil to dig food. Leaving the land, how do you tell us these people to live?"

I smiled and said: "Didn't everyone solve the problem of doing business?"

Zhao Dequan giggled, touched his head and said: "Business is not something you can do if you want to. Some families, the whole family doesn't know enough words to fill a basket, how do you tell people to do it? Since there is a new policy now, I have a request, our village people, all change the household registration back, we want to be farmers."

Yue Bai was impatient, tapped the table and shouted: "Old Zhao, this is a meeting, not the time for you to make requests."

Zhao Dequan stiffened his neck and said: "Secretary, if you can't make requests, what meeting are you having?"

Yue Bai was so angry that her face turned white, wanting to attack, but didn't know what to say, so angry that her legs under the table trembled slightly.

I wanted to comfort her, but under the eyes of everyone, I could only give up.

At the critical moment, Gan Lu spoke.

Beautiful women speak, even ghosts have to give three points of face. Not to mention that this beautiful woman is a cadre from the province, so after Gan Lu spoke, the whole conference room became quiet.

Gan Lu said: "Representatives, our research this time is mainly to reduce the burden on farmers. Our ancestors were all farmers, and our country was an agricultural country in the past. Agriculture is the foundation of our country. There are nearly eight hundred million farmers in the country, and behind every farmer, there is a hard and sad history. The Party and the country are determined to change the living environment of farmer brothers, which is the luck of our farmer brothers. But policies are not made by patting heads, they must have convincing data. Therefore, sending us here is to investigate and understand. We cannot solve the problems raised by everyone, but we can reflect everyone's opinions, you say, is it good?"

Gan Lu's words were emotional and reasonable.

Yue Bai on the side said in a low voice: "This female cadre's level is really high."

I also said in a low voice: "People are cadres from the province, can they sit still without a level?"

Yue Bai smiled lightly, wrote a line on the notebook in front of her and pushed it to me.

I looked down and saw it wrote "Your office I still keep, do you want to go see it?"

My heart jumped a few times. The saying that people go tea cool is wrong! I sighed in my heart.

"Go!" I wrote a big word behind it and handed it to her.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and began to listen to Gan Lu's speech seriously. ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
