Chapter 80: The Surprise of Going to the Countryside
County Magistrate Fang sent Zhao Yan home and told her to rest for two more days, and then said to her: "I may be very busy in the past half month and cannot come to see you. You have to take good care of yourself. I will call you as soon as I get back."
"
Zhao Yan said "Yeah" and acted coquettishly in Magistrate Fang's arms for a while before letting him go. After Magistrate Fang left, Zhao Yan called Director Long and explained the pain in her feet and asked for two days' leave.
.
When she was resting at home, Li Qingping came to see her after work. Li Qingping's complexion remained the same, and she could not see the emotion of lovelorn. Zhao Yan admired Li Qingping's restraint in her heart. Li Xianghua also came. He had been here for Zhao Yan for the past two days.
Yan cooked and served her beloved wife, which made Zhao Yan very happy. After two days of rest, Zhao Yan's feet were almost healed, so she went to work.
The work of the township social security office is not very busy. Except for market days, other days are relatively free. It has rained for several days in succession, and it has become colder. On this day, the sky that had been hazy suddenly cleared up, and everyone was happy to have a big day.
Sunbathing in the dam. Zhao Yan was chatting and playing with her colleagues, but suddenly remembered that she hadn’t seen Lei Li for a long time. She knew that Lei Li, as a village official, was busier than ordinary people and often traveled around the town and village. Zhao Yan took out her mobile phone
Call Lei Li and ask: "Lily, where are you? I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you busy with?"
Lei Li said: "Sister Yan Yan, I am in the office sorting out the information reported by the village. I will go to the village in a while. If you are okay, come with me."
Zhao Yan looked at the beautiful weather and happily agreed: "Okay, I have never been exposed to rural work. I will learn from you."
Lei Li said: "Okay, just wait for me. I'll prepare the information and give you a call."
Zhao Yan went to the dormitory to change into a pair of sneakers, then basked in the sun in the dam while waiting for Lei Li. About an hour later, Lei Li came out with a pile of information in her hand, and she waved to Zhao Yan with a smile. Zhao Yan
He followed her into the car and asked: "Which village are you going to?"
Lei Li said: "Nanwan Village is not very far, don't worry."
Zhao Yan asked again: "What are you mainly doing today? What kind of information is this? There are so many?"
Lei Li said: "This is the grain planting area reported by each household in the village, as well as the basic population files of each household. Because someone quietly reported to the village secretary Xu Dabou, saying that he withheld the direct grain planting subsidies provided by the country to farmers.
Therefore, Mayor Qu asked me to quietly verify the information submitted by Xu Da this time, lest the villagers report it to the county and be criticized by the leaders."
Zhao Yan said "Ah" and exclaimed: "There is such a thing. The secretary dares to withhold the money given to farmers by the state."
Lei Li laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? There are a lot of things like this at the grassroots level. I heard that the village secretary is very domineering. He is the leader of the village and dares to do anything."
Zhao Yan was puzzled and asked: "Since he is so domineering and oppresses the people, why not remove him and not let him be the secretary?"
Lei Li chuckled and said, "You don't understand this. You sympathize with the people, but it takes such a domineering secretary to manage the people. Therefore, the government turns a blind eye to such people."
, we won’t pursue it until something happens.”
Zhao Yan was very surprised by such grassroots work. She said "Oh" and asked, "How are you going to verify it today?"
"This is very simple. I just need to go to every farmer's house and ask them to see if the actual subsidies they receive are consistent with the subsidies reported by the secretary."
Along the way, Leili and I were talking about direct subsidies for growing grains. It wasn’t until I saw the low and dilapidated tile-roofed houses at the foot of the mountain that I understood many things in the village. In the past few years, the country has introduced direct subsidies for growing grains to benefit farmers.
However, in some places, village cadres have greatly compromised the central government’s policies to benefit farmers, and many of them kept the money in their own pockets. Nanwan Village is a poor village, with a total of more than 1,400 acres of cultivated land and a population of 763. A considerable number of villagers are still
They still live in adobe houses built decades ago, barely able to maintain food and clothing. For poor villagers, direct subsidies for growing grains are a considerable amount of income. According to the people who reported the case, since 2006, the state has provided direct subsidies for growing grains.
Since the subsidy was introduced, although most villagers in this village have received direct subsidy payments every year, the amount received has been greatly "shrunk" compared with other villages, so only this year did someone report it.
After Lei Li took Zhao Yan into the village, they went from house to house to verify that the first one was Li Hongqiang, who was in his 60s. They all already knew the village official, a college student who had just arrived. Mr. Li warmly invited them to sit in the room and meet the village officials.
When the official came to ask about his family’s grain-growing area, he said: “My family grows more than 6 acres of wheat every year, but Secretary Xu only gives me a subsidy of 3 acres of land every year. He said that the superiors only paid me this amount.
a little."
Zhao Yan couldn't help but interjected: "Then why don't you ask him, old man?"
Uncle Li coughed twice, smiled faintly, and said: "He is the village secretary, so I dare to ask, and I will take whatever he gives me. It is better than not getting a penny at all."
Lei Li asked: "So how much have you planted this year?"
Uncle Li said: "This year it's still 6 acres. As people get older, it's no longer possible to plant more acres."
Lei Li opened the documents and took notes. Zhao Yan saw that the number reported by Secretary Xu was actually 8 acres, which was more than the actual amount. This showed that Secretary Xu not only deducted the direct subsidy, but also robbed many countries.
Funds. Zhao Yan was more and more surprised in her heart. Thinking of the old village secretary in her village, Rugou Lai, she couldn't help but gnashed her teeth with hatred. It seemed that all village secretaries in the world were so domineering and hateful. However, now that Rugou's son is the secretary, so
I don’t know if the direct subsidy for growing grain in my village has been withheld.
After walking for a whole day, she finally verified all the information in the village. Leili returned to the town and handed it over to Mayor Qu, and reported the actual situation to Mayor Qu. Mayor Qu asked Leili to keep quiet, and now she still
A large amount of subsidy is needed to do things, so it is not appropriate to make it known. This year's direct subsidy will be distributed to the people in full in a way that has the best of both worlds.
Lei Li told Zhao Yan about Mayor Qu's instructions. Zhao Yan asked Lei Li in surprise: "How could this happen? Did you just let the bad guy go like this?"
Lei Li smiled and said, "I don't understand either. Maybe this is the art of being an official. You can't beat your subordinates to death with a stick. In that case, who would dare to do things for you?"
Zhao Yan took a breath and realized that she didn't understand anything in this officialdom and needed to study hard in the future.
