Liu Yuanhu came in with his head lowered and called out first: "Chief." Then he stood still and said nothing.
Yun Suji said: "Why, you are mute? I think you are quite prestigious in the village."
Liu Yuanhu's face turned red and he said: "Chief, I..."
"You don't have to say it. You do have a bit too much authority in the village. However, if you want to do a good job, you won't be able to do it if you don't have some authority." Yun Suji lit up the cigarette, "But, you have such authority.
Most of them are just for work, so I don’t blame you. Everyone is doing it for the great cause of the Senate..."
Liu Yuanhu's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing this. He raised his head and said: "Chief, I dare not say that I don't have any selfish thoughts, but I am really loyal to the Senate. I just want to take it out and show it to the chief.
also!"
Yun Suji waved his hand and said: "Don't be excited. Why should a man have red circles under his eyes? When you are a cadre, you are not afraid of what others say. If you hear a few rumors and become so afraid, how can you do big things?"
"Yes! I remember it!"
"How do you want to deal with this matter, Mrs. Cao?"
"Give her the pension!"
Yun Suji shook his head: "It is right to return the pension to her. I am talking about the fact that she hanged herself in the village office."
Liu Yuanhu scratched his scalp and said: "Well...since she is fine, let this matter be over..."
Yun Suji said: "You are the militia captain, so naturally you are also the village security committee member."
"yes."
"How did you read the "Public Security Committee Work Manual"?" Yun Suji shook his head and said, "Is there one here? Give me a copy."
Liu Yuanhu hurriedly took it out from the bookshelf, and Yun Suji took it and took a look. Except for the red official seal of "Borang Village Office" stamped on the cover, it was the same as new. This method of making hair service manuals is
In order to adapt to the low level of grassroots civil servants, "fool-style" guidance was provided - but it seems that the effect is not very good.
He opened the book and turned to one of the pages. He pointed at the text and said, "Are you literate?"
"I have attended literacy classes and can read. I am not very good at writing..."
"How do you say this?"
"Any behavior that interferes with the work and environment of the office premises within government agencies and public units will be punished as 'disrupting the government and public institutions' and will be punished accordingly depending on the severity of the case..."
"Do you understand?"
Liu Yuanhu read it several times, his eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! Chief. I understand."
“Where is the police stationed in charge of your village?”
"Our village has a small number of villagers, and we share a settlement with the nearby Boli Village." Liu Yuanhu said, "It's not far."
"Since a suicide case has occurred, it must be reported to the police as usual. Let him come over early tomorrow morning to take notes."
"Yes, Chief." Liu Yuanhu was about to go out when Yun Suji stopped him again. "I heard everyone said there is a labor reform team here. Who can run it?"
"The county can handle it," Liu Yuanhu said. "Each village arrested people and sent them to work for a few days. Each township has a squadron."
Yun Suji nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Yun Suji talked to the village cadres one by one, and gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the village. The three village cadres spoke more clearly than yesterday because of the open conversation.
He also had a general understanding of the village's finances. Han Daoguo said that in recent years, in order to "striving to be a model" and "create advanced", a lot of road and water conservancy construction had been carried out. Because the village had no real economy, there was no income, so it could only
They "raised funds" from the villagers, but the fund-raising did not go smoothly, and they had to use coercion to collect them all. Even so, the village still suffered a loss.
"...Now I still owe the Tiandihui project money. I have already levied the money once this year, and everyone has objections to the levy again. I just rely on this little money." Han Daoguo defended the matter of withholding the pension.
Yun Suji knew there was something in his words. But he was not an auditor, and he couldn't figure out the clues for a while. So he just listened to what he said, silently remembering the key points, and prepared to write it down in his notes for the Cheka annual report.
Use it as a reference during the audit.
Han Daoguo complained again, saying that the village office had no office expenses, and the county gave the village office thirty acres of "service land." These thirty acres of land were tax-free and farmed by the village cadres themselves, and the agricultural products were the expenses of the village office and provided to the village.
Subsidies for cadres "serving their duties".
"The income from these 30 acres of land, let alone subsidies for us, is not enough to cover the village's expenses." Han Daoguo rambled, saying that although labor can be collected for working in the village, labor must be taken care of, and meals must be taken care of.
Well done. There are many projects in the village, and just feeding the laborers is an expense. "When the work is completed, we also need to give a reward, white flour and pork. Where does this money come from? They are not all dug out of the soil. I am not afraid of you, Chief."
What a joke, the deficit incurred last year is still not recovered yet..."
Yun Suji smiled and said: "So you are all just obeying the public in vain."
Han Daoguo's face turned red and he said calmly: "This is not..."
He stood up and walked a few steps, and said: "Don't talk about this business land, let's talk about your own land. Which of you cultivated it yourself? Aren't they all recruited from the village to work for you white people? You think so?
I don’t know? How else could you play chess in the village hall in broad daylight!"
Han Daoguo's face turned from red to white, and he couldn't say a word.
"I can figure out what you are doing with my eyes closed. You should stop being careless." Yun Suji said, "I don't care about these things now. You can first explain the true financial situation of the village!"
Han Daoguo became more honest now. He said that it was true that the village's accounts were in deficit, and the figure was not small. The reason was the same as mentioned above: it was due to infrastructure construction. However, the village's fund-raising has actually been held three times this year.
The villagers were very dissatisfied. Fan Twelve was afraid that he would offend the villagers and some of them would go to the county to file a complaint, so he did not dare to come a fourth time.
"Why are there so many losses? Doesn't the county provide subsidies for all these construction projects?" Yun Suji said in surprise.
"Chief, the subsidy is indeed provided, but there is also a self-funded part. We are a model village. People come to visit it all year round. There is a constant flow of people to learn from it. The county, township, Tiandihui... there are also various inspections, just to entertain people.
Eating is a big expense..." Han Daoguo complained.
"Don't those who come to the village on business trips receive meals and pay directly to the farmers? Your county does not provide meal subsidies when traveling on business?"
"Chief, you are a saint like you! Can the cadres from the county and the countryside be given away a bowl of sweet potato porridge and a few pancakes? They have to bake a pancake and a bowl of noodles. Even if it is not good, they have to have rice and rice with some pickles and pickles.
." Han Dao Guo Dao, "It was sent to the villagers to cook, but the villagers found it troublesome, and the comrades who came on business trips could not eat well. So the village designated a family to specialize in cooking..."
"So the comrades who come to the countryside just pay for sweet potato porridge and pancakes and eat pancakes rolled with eggs?"
Han Daoguo said quickly: "Chief Mingjian! Our village office is too small to be in a small yamen. If we don't provide good hospitality, we won't be able to win many things. The model brand may not be preserved. There is nothing we can do about it...
…”
"Okay, don't say it anymore!" Yun Suji became more and more angry as he listened. Unexpectedly, in less than two or three years, the grassroots level already had this kind of virtue!
County Magistrate Liu, you are a model county! When Yun Suji heard this, he understood that this phenomenon was by no means an isolated phenomenon. Maybe some people were eating pancakes rolled with eggs without even paying for the sweet potato porridge.
After asking questions, Yun Suji rested in the village hall. There was a kerosene lamp in the village hall, and he wrote his experiences under the lamp. He went to the countryside many times, but he had never been so completely immersed in being with the farmers as he was today.
Eating, living and working together, I have never felt the pulse of rural life so clearly. I have really benefited a lot from this day.
This is still a model village. If you go to ordinary villages or backward villages, you still don’t know what the situation will be like. Yun Suji thought to himself that there are many problems in grassroots work, and there are also big problems with farmers’ emotions. There is a sense of comfort in living in a dawdle.
It can be clearly felt by most villagers that a small number of grain households cannot develop due to various restrictions, and their enthusiasm has been dampened.
Judging from what I have seen today, farmers have not received proper management education, and they behave like opportunists: they are speculative and lax, have no sense of time (working hours are calculated by the day, and can only be accurate to the morning and afternoon), and have no organizational discipline. Such
Peasants were useless to the cause of the Senate.
Too much labor is a problem, but it is obvious that labor does not affect normal production. The real impact on production is those grain households with large planting areas and many side jobs. How to balance the relationship between the two is an issue that needs to be discussed.
Yun Suji strongly disapproved of some people's proposal to replace the current "labor levy" with a "labor service payment" system. The Ming Dynasty in front of him is a typical negative example. The one-whip method had a good starting point and had a certain effect for the time being.
.In the end, it became a rope on the noose that strangled the peasants in the late Ming Dynasty. It perfectly explained "Huang Zongxi's Law".
"The collection of labor must be scientific, quantitative, and standardized." He wrote this line in his notebook. "We must come up with a scientific standard to see where the limit of the burden is. Provide as much as possible without affecting production.
A lot of hard work..."
He thought of the groups of women making shoes and needlework on the roadside at the entrance of the village, the men who beat their wives every now and then, the elderly and children who had nothing to do at home... These all fully demonstrated that they still have too much free time. We must fully consider people as the most important thing.
The resources are utilized and put into play.
He then thought that there were still too few side businesses in the village. Apart from raising cattle and a small number of chickens and ducks, almost no one was raising pigs. Many people responded that the homestead area was too small, and the breeding area was reserved during the original design.
It's not enough. If we build a pigsty next to the main house according to the traditional method, the county health police will not agree, saying that it is "illegal".
In addition, there is almost no business in the village. Logically speaking, a village with nearly 500 people should always have a small oil and salt shop... (To be continued.)
