Lately,

Studio host

In order to develop agriculture, our country has not only abolished the agricultural tax, but also the central and various levels of government have repeatedly regulated the phenomenon of arbitrary charges in rural areas. The aim is to lighten the burden on farmers and help farmers get rich.

Recently, however, some farmers in Ankang, Shaanxi, have told us that they have to pay a fee to them every year, and the money is unacceptable and unacceptable.

Commentary: Uncle Wu of Dongfengcun in Sha Ba Township, Ankang City, has to pay more than 200 yuan to the village every year, but he really can't get through the money.

Pang Xiaowei: This is the receipt for paying the money, isn't it?

1 villagers in Sha Ba Township, Dongfengcun: Yes.

Reporter: raising silkworms and planting money.

1 villagers in Sha Ba township: Dongfengcun.

Reporter: what's the matter with this money?

1 villagers in Sha Ba Township, Dongfengcun: This sericulture is mainly a task assigned to you (like the village), like our family's task, which is close to 7 pieces of paper each year.

Reporter: 7 kinds of paper silkworm eggs?

Dongfengcun villagers in Sha Ba Township 1: Well, each silkworm egg is 35 yuan.

Reporter: one year is to pay more than 200 yuan to buy silkworm eggs.

1 villagers in Sha Ba Township, Dongfengcun: Yes.

Commentary: sericulture is a characteristic industry in Ankang City. Because it is located in mountainous area, it is difficult to pport, and in order to ensure the quality of silkworm eggs, every year the villagers need to buy silkworm eggs by local governments.

This is a good thing, but why Uncle Wu is not willing to do it? Originally, because of their children working outside, their body is not good, his family has not sericulture for several years, but this silkworm money village still takes care of.

Reporter: do you have to pay for the silkworm eggs without raising silkworms?

1 villagers in Sha Ba Township, Dongfengcun: it is a task and must be paid if they are not raised.

Commentary: Uncle Wu said that there were only more than 100 households in the village, and the silkworm eggs were only 1/3.

Such practices not only make people who do not raise silkworms fail to understand, but also are not satisfied with silkworms.

Sha Ba Township Dongfengcun villager 2: basically can raise two pieces, he gives you four kinds of paper silkworm eggs, you cannot feed, silkworm egg still needs to come back.

Reporter: so you can't afford to buy these silkworm eggs so much. What about the superfluous silkworm eggs?

Sha Ba Township Dongfengcun Villagers 2: dumped, down, there is no way.

Commentary: originally, the village collected silkworm eggs without paying attention to raising and not raising silkworms, but two did not depend on how many silkworms were raised.

Every Mu needs to buy a silkworm egg, knowing that money is spent wrongfully, but the villagers still have to pay, because the village cadres pinched the passbook of the grain direct subsidy made by the state to everyone.

Sha Ba Township Dongfengcun villagers 1: if you do not hand in, there is no way, this money will not be able to get the compensation fee.

Grain subsidy 400 more than a point, I raise silkworms as long as 200 more points, I raise silkworm more than 200 yuan, I do not pay, I have 400 yuan.

Commentary: this kind of thing happens not only in Sha Ba Township, but also in Dongkou village, Zhongyuan Town, 100 kilometers away from Sha Ba township.

The difference is that every family here receives a total of two yuan of silkworm eggs every year, 35 yuan per season.

Zhongyuan town Dongkou village 1: do not raise silkworms, silkworm eggs will also be issued to you, money must be collected.

Zhongyuan town Dongkou village 2: you are sure to hand in it.

Reporter: did you keep silkworms in your family?

Zhongyuan town Dongkou village 3: I didn't raise this year. I couldn't keep it. I could not support my leg. I had to crutch.

Reporter: then what will you do if you get the silkworm eggs?

Zhongyuan town Dongkou village 3: dumped.

Reporter: throw it away?

Zhongyuan town Dongkou village 3: heartache, heartache no way, it has to do a lot of work.

Reporter: you have to do a lot of work to earn it.

Commentary: we visited many families in the village. Many people who didn't raise silkworms showed us that they felt very sad about the money they gave away every year.

Although dozens of dollars are not big money, Dongkou village is a hillside area. Crop harvest is often very bad. The villagers are working hard all year round, and their income per capita is only a few hundred yuan, which is very heavy in their lives.

Commentary: in the interview, a small group leader responsible for collecting silkworm eggs money told reporters about the collection of the money.

The leader of the village of Dongkou Village: the leader of the town said that he had to pay the money if he did not raise silkworms.

Reporter: if not?

The village leaders of Dongkou Village: the money that the state reclaims will be deducted without feeding silkworms.

Reporter: is this money OK?

Dongkou village villager group leader: it is not easy to accept. The villagers' opinions are very big.

Reporter: have you ever asked the above cadres why not raise silkworms and pay for silkworm eggs?

Dongkou village villager group leader: he was also asked to ask him. He said it was the policy above, and we didn't know the above policy.

Commentary: reporters learned that the practice of unified collection of silkworm eggs existed in many villages and towns in the Han Bin District of Ankang City, and the village cadres who received money said that such fees came from the above requirements.

Maxi village documents in Sha Ba township: for so many years, the annual task of silkworm eggs is hard to fulfill.

Commentary: this so-called hard task has not only been sent for many years, but also keeps rising year after year.

The village head of Maxi village, Sha Ba township: the number of feed silkworms has been fed 100 copies this year, and 150 in second years.

We sent 277 copies this year, and we actually fed more than 70.

Reporter: most of them are wasted.

Village head of Maxi Village: all of them are thrown away.

Commentary: because many villagers are unwilling to pay the money, the village has come up with a way to deduct money in order to complete the task.

Maxi village documents in Sha Ba township: do not feed, do not buy, that is, now that there is food subsidies, grain deduction.

Reporter: where is this regulation?

Maxi village documents in Sha Ba township: This is what we studied by Haruki.

Reporter: the township government is to let you have to complete the task, what way do they ignore it?

Maxi village documents in Sha Ba township: no matter what the task is, you can't finish it if you go to Haruki. If you receive the money, you will receive it. If you can't get the money, you can do it yourself.

Interviewer: what if you can't finish this task?

Maxi village documents in Sha Ba township: no task can be completed, and wages will be deducted at the end of the year.

Commentary: the fact that village cadres extort grain subsidies from the state to farmers and the behavior of returning farmland to forests are obviously in violation of state regulations and harming the interests of farmers.

However, where are the tasks that led to this behavior come from? The agricultural law stipulates that the people's governments at all levels must not interfere in the production and operation projects independently arranged by the peasants, nor force peasants to buy the designated means of production. Why are farmers here forced to raise silkworms and be charged with silkworm eggs?

Guo Huafu, deputy director of Forestry Bureau of Han Bin District, Ankang City, mainly guided farmers from the silkworm eggs industry and business, and how to increase farmers' income.

He is willing to raise, he pays money, raises the silkworm, he increases own income.

Reporter: Villagers in every village have to pay their own money to buy silkworm eggs every year, right?

Guo Huafu: it is not a unified collection of money, it is voluntary. Farmers can not force it willingly, right?

Reporter: our district is assigned to each village to buy silkworm eggs every year, is it right?

Guo Huafu: no task can be said to be voluntary and voluntary.

Commentary: according to the Secretary's statement, the work of selling silkworm eggs is not arranged uniformly in the District, and there is no problem of forced apportionment.

However, a reporter from the Han Bin district government found that this statement is not true.

Reporter: look at the Secretary, this is the document issued by our district government, the office of the people's Government of the Han Bin district.

In this area, sericulture and seed production has entered a critical period. As of 21 days, 18 thousand species of silkworm eggs have been implemented in the whole region, accounting for only 32.7% of the tasks.

Guo Huafu: this task is, what year is it?

Reporter: 2009.

Guo Huafu: in 2009, I didn't know what happened before 2009.

Reporter: do you know this document as a leader in charge of this aspect?

Guo Huafu: I told you, I just split up, I only worked for a year, only last year, until the end of the year.

Reporter: Secretary, this is the document of our district government this year, 2010.

It says, "a total of 51960 copies were issued this year, accounting for 43.3% of the total 120 thousand tasks in the whole year. The 120 thousand is a task volume for this year, right?

Guo Huafu: is this this year? Actually, it is not a task.

Reporter: there is a plot plan for this year's autumn silkworm breeding program. Every town and township has a clear amount of work.

Guo Huafu: this plan number seems to be a task given to the city.

Reporter: this document also reads, "we must organize cadres to enter villages and enter households. We must implement the task of finishing silkworm breeding in autumn by the end of July."

Guo Huafu: This is to do the work, according to the wishes of farmers, can raise more to carry out multiple maintenance.

Reporter: then the government and inspectors have also announced that farmers can withstand the pressure of the government?

Guo Huafu: as we have just said, farmers according to their wishes.

As for the notification, it is written in such a way, but the wishes of the peasants are greater than anything else.

Studio host Jing Yidan: "farmers' willingness is greater than everything" is well said, but what to do? It should be said that all levels of government at Ankang have done a lot to support the sericulture industry, but it needs to be clear that in the number of those achievements, how much is it forced by farmers to buy silkworm eggs? This is for the benefit of agriculture, but in fact it has hurt farmers. This is not the first time that such a thing has happened.

The next task, one size fits all, is to accomplish the so-called index in such a way. The peasants are not benefited, but there are surely some people who will benefit from it.

This may be the real reason why such things happen again and again.

We should see that the effect of a preferential agricultural policy should be that farmers have the final say, the facts are the final ones, and they must not be merely statistics and final reports.
