Chapter 1767

Elder Yu said: "If the investigation team's findings were different from what you said, proving that you were 'alarmist,' you wouldn't have had a good ending. But later it was proven that what you said was indeed the truth, and in some places, the situation was even more serious than what you said. Therefore, the Party Central Committee paid attention to it, studied it for so long, and only then prepared to introduce this policy."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If the people in the investigation team had also concealed the truth, wouldn't he have been miserable?

But at that time, investigation teams were sent to many places across the country. If so many investigation teams had told lies, then there would be no hope for this country.

Su Xinghui said: "In fact, many places are now wealthy. The fiscal revenue from the secondary and tertiary industries far exceeds the primary industry, which is agriculture. Agricultural tax has become a very small part of state fiscal revenue, and it is indeed time to abolish the agricultural tax."

Elder Yu sighed: "Sigh, that is how it is said, but the actual introduction of the policy encountered great resistance. This is mainly because local fiscal revenue now relies heavily on agricultural tax to a large extent, and the vast majority of local governments are opposing the abolition of the agricultural tax."

Su Xinghui knows this point. After the state divided taxes into national tax and local tax, the largest tax sources were allocated to national tax, and the most important tax source for local tax is naturally agricultural tax. If this tax source is also canceled, local government fiscal revenue will truly be greatly reduced.

With less money, of course, no one is willing, and their opposition is very normal.

Su Xinghui said: "To solve this problem, the state needs to make some concessions in the redistribution of fiscal revenue."

Elder Yu glanced at Su Xinghui and nodded: "You are very right. You saw the core of the matter at a glance. The state has indeed made concessions in this regard, and some economically developed provinces have also made concessions, which finally allowed this policy to be basically passed. Now they are still discussing some details."

The redistribution of fiscal revenue means that after the state collects national taxes, it returns them to various provinces and cities. The state makes some concessions, and economically developed provinces make some more concessions, which can allow some economically underdeveloped provinces to get more return quotas. In this way, they naturally agreed to this policy.

This involves many very complex games and disputes of interest. Su Xinghui can imagine that Elder Yu must have done a lot of work in it, and only his full promotion could allow such a policy to be passed a few years in advance.

Su Xinghui suddenly bowed respectfully to Elder Yu and said: "Grandpa Yu, on behalf of the 400,000 farmers in our county, I express my gratitude to you!"

Elder Yu laughed: "You don't have to thank me. I actually need to thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I know the real situation below? I would still be complacent, thinking that we have governed this country very well and let the poor people of the world live a good life."

Su Xinghui said: "It is finally a little better now. After the agricultural tax is completely abolished, at least farmers will not be unable to afford to eat. What remains is for us grassroots cadres to think about how to increase rural income. If we can't do this, then we are not competent cadres and are sorry for your efforts."

Elder Yu said: "I have also heard from them about what you did below. You did very well. You are a competent cadre, so you can rest assured about this!"

Elder Yu said this in a joking tone, but this sentence contained his infinite expectations for Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui nodded solemnly: "I will definitely do better in the future."

Elder Yu nodded with gratification.
