As soon as Yao Yuan returned to Xinfeng County, he heard two pieces of news.
The first news is that the Public Security Bureau has summoned Lao Wen and has applied for an arrest warrant from the Procuratorate. The county supports it, and Yao Yuan has already verified some of the facts, so it will not be difficult to deal with him.
The second news is bad news. Xinfeng County's family planning work seriously lags behind other counties and has been criticized by the city.
Directors of the Family Planning Bureau Li Qing and Yao Yuan were called to the county magistrate's office. Zhong Guangda talked seriously for half an hour. Like last time, he left Yao Yuan behind and said earnestly, "Xiao Yao, you need to check with Laowen and the person who was in charge of birth control at that time."
I support the deputy director at work. Some of their actions are indeed excessive. No matter what they do, they can’t tear down people’s houses, nor can they give away an eight-month-old fetus alive..."
He couldn't say the next words, and sighed deeply. Zhong Guangda said sincerely, "I can understand your thoughts, but family planning is a national policy. If this work is not completed well, no matter how good other work is, it will be rejected by one vote.
of."
Yao Yuan said, "Almost everyone feels ashamed to be criticized in the city's notice, but I feel proud. Family planning is a national policy, yes, but I have different views on how to implement this policy. Do we have to be fined? Do we have to punish people?
Has the child in your belly been beaten?"
"I don't think so. The root cause of why people want to have more children and raise more children is that life is too hard. One more person means one more labor force. It is not the fact that many people think that having more children will not change the face of backwardness and poverty." Zhong
County Magistrate, as long as we improve the economy and make more people rich, the family planning work will be better."
Zhong Guangda smiled bitterly and said, "I don't agree with your theory. One more person will open more mouths, the population will increase sharply, and social resources will not be able to keep up. If they are born easily, how will they be raised? How will they be educated? What will happen if they get sick?"
"So we need to make money and do everything we can to make money. When the government has money, it can provide more social resources, and when people have money, they can feed more children. As living standards improve, their expectations for life
The quality requirements will also become higher and higher, and the requirements for raising children will also increase. When the time comes, if you encourage people to have more children, they will not be willing to do so," Yao Yuan retorted.
Zhong Guangda was stunned for a moment and became discouraged. He waved his hands and said, "I can't defeat you. Secretary Wu and I both respect your opinion very much. Just tell me what you are going to do next?"
Yao Yuan said, "Family planning work only promotes publicity and does not punish people."
"What?" Zhong Guangda was shocked.
Yao Yuan said, "The fines for having more children are what the county is responsible for. Now the county is not without money. The Family Planning Bureau has put more energy into publicity, so that people can voluntarily have fewer and better children. The government only guides but does not punish."
He signaled Zhong Guangda to listen to him and continued, "I went to Hong Kong this time to discuss several projects. After these projects come in, it will be no problem for Xinfeng County's finances to quadruple in two years. Since funds are no longer tight, why bother?"
Doing these things that poke people's spines will be infamy for thousands of years."
"As for how to report to the superiors, I have also considered this. On the one hand, I was under pressure, and on the other hand, I did some work on demographics. This is what some places do. Two years later, the economy of Xinfeng County has reached a new level.
When people have money in their pockets, if they still have four or five children, it is not too late to impose some financial penalties. People are already poor, so what’s the point of finesing them more money, and what’s the point of robbing their houses?
, will only cause social conflicts."
Yao Yuan finished his opinion in one breath.
Zhong Guangda stared at Yao Yuan blankly for a long time, unable to speak.
After a while, Zhong Guangda asked, "Xiao Yao, you must have been thinking about this issue for more than a day or two. To be honest, when you took the initiative to work in the Family Planning Bureau, were you already prepared?"
"Yeah." Yao Yuan admitted and said, "I have two reasons. First, in the long run, our country will enter an aging society sooner or later. In less than twenty years, the government will encourage and even subsidize, and the people will not be willing to have more children.
Son, because we all underestimated the speed and future size of our country's economic development."
"Not everyone can keep up with the development of social economy. There must be a considerable number of people who will fall behind. When they find that the cost of raising children is getting higher and higher, they are not even willing to get married. At this time, our society has entered an aging stage.
change."
"Second, because family planning work has caused too many conflicts and contradictions. To put it bluntly, it is a work that makes people die of children and grandchildren. I did research when I was in Huilong Town. As long as the family planning office is mentioned, people hate it.
I have to grit my teeth and wish I could tear the family planning officer into pieces."
Yao Yuan shook his head, "I have studied the family planning policy document issued by the State Council, and it has never mentioned the need to take such drastic measures to carry out family planning work. The most talked about is propaganda and guidance. It is just that when it comes to implementation, more layers of measures are added.
, in the form of task indicators, forcing the grassroots to use one or another method to complete it. County Magistrate Zhong, you have several brothers and sisters in your family. Think about it, is it okay to do family planning work like this?"
After saying this, Zhong Guangda fell into deep thought.
Zhong Guangda would not be interested in hearing such words from other people, and even if he heard them, he would not take them seriously.
But this is what Yao Yuan said, and Zhong Guangda must pay attention to it.
If this is a transaction, then Yao Yuan's condition is more projects, and what he wants in exchange is Zhong Guangda's support for him in family planning work and the way he supports him.
Of course Zhong Guangda had thought of this. Yao Yuan didn't believe that he could convince him with just a few words, and he didn't believe it either. In the final analysis, he wanted something real.
If he does not support Yao Yuan, he will definitely be passive in attracting investment, and he will definitely find other ways to continue to carry out family planning work in accordance with his ideas under pressure.
Zhong Guangda was very embarrassed.
He said, "Xiao Yao, I have to report to Secretary Wu. This matter is too big. You go with me. I'll ask first."
He called Secretary Wu's office, and Secretary Wu happened to be there, so he went there with Yao Yuan immediately.
Yao Yuan repeated what he said to Zhong Guangda. As a woman, Secretary Wu was deeply touched. As Yao Yuan expected, she considered it very seriously.
"Secretary Wu, you must know Yongan Group, a well-known large group in Hong Kong and the largest clothing trader in Asia. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Yu Yongan, chairman of Yongan Group during my trip to Hong Kong this time. He will take time to come over for inspection in the near future and plan to invest.
The total investment in building a garment production park that can accommodate 10,000 workers may be as high as HK$500 million." Yao Yuan dropped a bombshell.
He said in a deep voice, "Economy comes first, Secretary Wu, even if there are some flaws in the family planning work, it cannot cover up the achievements of our Xinfeng County in economic construction."
Wu Yi was still deep in thought, and Zhong Guangda couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yao, are you sure? Are you sure?"
A factory with ten thousand people and an investment of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, Zhong Guangda has no idea about it. He only knows that once this project is completed, the impact it will have is huge.
It can be said that such a project can remove the label of a national-level poverty-stricken county.
Yao Yuan nodded with certainty, "It is basically certain that the advantage of our Xinfeng County is that it has sufficient labor force. After the new road is built, it will be closer to the provincial capital and the geographical location is very good. Mr. Yu Yongan has no reason not to invest.
."
Zhong Guangda is already inclined to support Yao Yuan. With such a large investment, what does it mean to be criticized and scolded for family planning work?
