Chapter 184 Land Issues
In addition to the gifts, Li Lizhen also brought a lot of manuscripts to Liu Hongmin.
"Justice Bao 10" written by Ma Weidu, the comic manuscripts and animation films of "Transformers" produced by Sanyuan Film Company, and the comic manuscripts of "Detective Conan" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
These things were packed into a suitcase, which Li Lizhen could not carry alone, so Liu Hongmin sent two female bodyguards to escort Li Lizhen back to Hong Kong.
After sending Li Lizhen on the plane, Liu Hongmin became busy again.
Professor Tao still has to finish his studies, and the representatives also have meetings to attend. The meetings in recent years have all been reform-oriented. Recently, the country has focused on poverty alleviation and land, and has formulated a poverty alleviation plan and the Land Management Law.
Liu Hongmin did not speak much at the meeting, as he was not very proficient in some areas. However, he would listen carefully to any representative's speech and vote on which policy he thought was better.
However, Ms. Deng was a little unhappy that he was so low-key.
After the meeting, she called Liu Hongmin.
"Comrade Hongmin, I know you are very busy, but since we are having a meeting to discuss this, you should also participate. I am waiting for your constructive opinions!"
“I don’t really understand what was discussed at the meeting.”
"You are being too modest. You are a child from the countryside. Don't you know much about rural land?"
Liu Hongmin was speechless. “I have been away from the countryside for almost ten years.”
The original body knew the countryside very well. After all, he had lived there for twenty years and knew some problems. But after he crossed over, he started preparing for the college entrance examination. He had not really worked and knew nothing about the countryside now!
Ms. Deng also knew about this situation, but she still wanted to hear Liu Hongmin's opinion.
Liu Hongmin is the most knowledgeable person in the country, and the suggestions he puts forward are very forward-looking, which is something other representatives do not have.
"Ms. Deng, rural areas have always been the most difficult to manage. They are at the lowest level of administration, and village cadres and villagers live together all year round, which makes many villagers lose their sense of awe. Therefore, village cadres are often powerful people in the village, and these people can easily develop into village tyrants. Under our current circumstances, it is difficult to solve this problem."
Ms. Deng's eyes lit up. "Any other questions?"
Liu Hongmin nodded. "The biggest problem in rural areas is still the financial problem. Now the finances of each village are managed by itself, which can easily lead to corruption. Therefore, we must strengthen financial management and procedural management."
"The finances will be sent to the township, and the village's expenditures must be approved by the township. If a single project exceeds a certain amount, it must be brought to a meeting. Considering that many people in the village have a low level of education, cadres can be sent down to serve as guidance..."
Ms. Deng watched Liu Hongmin talk for a long time, and then asked helplessly: "You can write these down and submit them. I want to know more about the rural land issues now."
Liu Hongmin said: "There are also big problems with rural land. A lot of land exists in gray areas. One is wasteland. Now there is a land contract system, and every household can contract a certain amount of land. These lands are generally distributed according to the number of family members. Those with more people will get more, and those with fewer people will get less." "That's true. This is fair."
Liu Hongmin shook his head. "It is fair that more land is allocated to more people, but what is unfair is the length of the contract. For a family of five, one with elderly people and one without, after the land is allocated, if the elderly person passes away, then the family of three or four will get the same land as the family of five."
"This is indeed a problem."
"Not only that!" Liu Hongmin continued, "There are also different degrees of fertility in the land. There are a lot of saline-alkali lands in my hometown. Some places can be planted, but in other places nothing will grow, so these saline-alkali lands must be deducted. This goes back to the problem of rural village cadres. They are often the powerful people in the village. If they force villagers to distribute poor land, they will occupy the rich land themselves."
Ms. Deng seemed to be thinking thoughtfully, everyone is selfish, and with so many villages across the country, the situation Liu Hongmin described would definitely happen.
"There are also cases where people use their land to make friends with others. For example, this is a piece of barren land, and no one wants it in order to avoid paying agricultural taxes. After the land is divided, it is found that this family is missing a piece of land, just a few mu. Then the village cadres point to a piece of uncultivated land and divide it among the villagers. This is called finger land. As long as the villagers open up this piece of land, they will have a lot more land than others. At the beginning, because it is reclaimed land, no one cares. But as the contract period gets longer, the villagers will feel more and more unbalanced."
"The second is the homestead. The national regulations stipulate that the homestead area is 330 square meters. But many rural areas don't care about this. In their understanding, as long as the house area does not exceed 330 square meters, it doesn't matter how big the yard is. The situation is better now. Once tractors become common, homesteads will expand like bubbles. If the geographical environment is suitable, the area of the yard can be expanded indefinitely. Villagers on the edge of the village can even open up several hectares of land."
Ms. Deng nodded and wrote down these questions.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Hongmin got to the point.
"The land problem in rural areas is actually not that bad. Farmers occupy land just to grow crops. The problem in cities is the most serious. The ownership of our urban land is not very clear, and there is a lot of room for manipulation."
"Land demolition is an even bigger problem. When Jinpeng Shopping Center was built, compensation was paid to up to six owners for one building. If it were another developer, would they pay in the same way?"
"If there is a disagreement on compensation, which side will the local government stand on? If the owner does not want to be relocated, and the developer does something, which side will the local government stand on?"
Ms. Deng raised her head, her expression becoming serious. "Are you telling the truth?"
Liu Hongmin: "This is my guess. Collusion between officials and businessmen has been common since ancient times. We cannot be naive and think that everyone is a good person. We must take precautions. Once this happens, others will soon follow suit. If a chain reaction is triggered, the real estate industry will collapse. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important things for the people."
Ms. Deng's expression was serious. "I understand. I will report it to Xiyuan."
Immediately, she smiled and said, "I told you that you have a lot of forward-looking opinions! If you have any opinions in the future, just raise them directly, don't hide them."
Liu Hongmin pretended to be stupid and said, "These are just some immature opinions of mine. We still need Xiyuan's unified planning."
"You!" Ms. Deng sighed, "It's better to be a little older, otherwise you will become a thorn in the eyes of many people."
