Chapter 954

Old Yu said: "Isn't the household contract responsibility system a very good system?"

Su Xinghui said: "The system is indeed a good system, even now, it is considered a good system, but the situation is different now. Now grain production has increased a lot compared to before, and in some places it has even doubled, but the prices of agricultural production materials have risen sharply, while the grain purchase prices have not risen much. In some places, you can't get cash after selling grain, only a white slip, so farmers haven't gained any real benefits, and a farmer's cash income is at most a few dozen yuan a year."

"On the contrary, the retention and overall planning tasks of towns and villages are higher day by day. Now in some places, one person has to pay more than one hundred for retention and overall planning tasks a year. A family of seven or eight people has to pay more than one thousand yuan a year. This retention and overall planning cannot be offset by the white slips for selling grain, and must be paid in cash. If there is no cash, the town and village cadres will take away the grain at home, drive away the pigs, and catch the chickens, ducks, and geese."

When Old Yu heard this, he slapped the table heavily with his palm and said: "Is there really such a thing? This is still okay? What is the difference between this and Huang Shiren whom we wanted to overthrow back then?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "Old Yu, don't be excited, it was agreed not to be excited."

Su Xinghui also said: "Yes, Old Yu, if you are excited again, I won't tell you."

Old Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm not excited, I'm not excited, Xinghui, you continue."

Su Xinghui said: "Some rural cadres in some places want to engage in some sideline businesses to increase farmers' income, but they have no ideas. They engage in some special breeding, either being cheated, or finding no sales channels after breeding, and cannot sell them, which instead causes farmers to suffer losses."

Old Yu frowned and said: "Is everything you said true?"

Su Xinghui said: "What I said is absolutely true. If there is any falsehood, I can take any responsibility."

Old Yu said: "Why are the retention and overall planning tasks of the towns and villages below so high? Don't they know that the farmers' burden is heavy?"

Su Xinghui said: "One reason is that the economy is not developed, and there is no other income in the rural areas. Basically, all fiscal expenditures have to rely on these retention and overall planning. For example, the wages and bonuses of town cadres, hired personnel, and community-run teachers, the maintenance costs of school buildings, and the construction costs of various infrastructure all have to rely on retention and overall planning. How can this not make the farmers' burden heavy?" ===== CHAPTER 956 =====
