"The national early rice planting area has decreased by 4 million mu compared with last year. Even if there is no flood disaster this year, it is inevitable to reduce yields, but the flood disaster has aggravated the reduction in yields."

Guo Yeshan sighed, "So what happened to the increase in production last year? Grain prices have fallen, and there is no increase in income. How can farmers still be interested in growing grain?"

"Yes, farmers are no longer interested in staying at home and working, so they would rather go out to work." Kong Lingdong also shook his head.

"According to statistics from each village, the labor force that went out to work this year has increased by 27% compared to last year. The two children who drowned in Tuqiao Village last week were both working outside and were left unattended. Although working outside can earn money and increase income, the side effects are also quite a lot."

Guo Yeshan's face was also gloomy. He had two young lives. The child's grandparents were crying and fainted. Another wanted to hang himself. If he had not discovered it in time, a human tragedy would really happen.

The situation reported by Murakami also said that the parents of these two children are working in Guangdong, and they have not been back for two years. The children are all carried by the elderly. The elderly are not energetic and are easily incurable.

"The progress of the collection of agricultural taxes, water conservancy fees and coordinated withdrawals in the villages of Tuqiao Village, Sanlian Village, Jinguo Village and Dongfang Village is very slow. I am afraid that the task will not be completed before September. They all say that they have to wait until the autumn grain is collected. I think it is an excuse. When the autumn grain is collected, there will be various reasons to refuse. This has been the case for all these years. As long as the summer grain cannot be collected after it is collected, there will be no chance after the autumn grain is collected."

The person who was talking to Deputy Mayor Cao Huabo, who seemed to be exhausted by the tax collection and withdrawal work, and there were not many hairs on the top of his head.

"Secretary Guo, Mayor Kong, and Yang Wenyuan from Dongfang Village came to me again and said that they were not allowed to recognize Hongqi Winery. They asked the industrial company to pay the land acquisition and land rental to their village, otherwise they would not be allowed to pay agricultural taxes, water conservancy fees and unified withdrawals."

The loud and fat voice was Yu Kuansheng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and manager of the Township Industrial Company.

"He dares!" Kong Lingdong was annoyed all of a sudden. Isn't this going to rebel? "Is he Yang Wenyuan still the secretary of the Communist Party's branch? The imperial grain and national taxation have never said that anyone would not pay. If he dares to make this noise, the Commission for Discipline Inspection is not a vegetarian, so he must punish him. The town dares to remove his position as secretary!"

Guo Yeshan frowned, "Old Yu, what's going on? Yang Wenyuan's wine is drunk? Didn't the matter of Hongqi winery be agreed? The town assumed the debt, Hongqi Village and Dongfang Village received assets, and did not owe each other? Gao Changsong didn't say anything, why did he take the lead?"

"It seems that there are 10 or 20 people working in a winery in Dongfang Village. They have not received their wages for two months last year, so they do not pay taxes and withdrawals. There is also a grain dealer who delivers grain to Hongqi Winery and is also from their village. There are still 30,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 30,000 to 40,000 to 30,000 to 40,000 to 30,000 to 40,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,

Yu Kuansheng's neck was covered with sweat like Maitreya Buddha, and the ceiling fan on his head was whimpering, but it didn't work at all.

"Can industrial companies pay the money to the grain dealer first? Didn't it be that the industrial companies are responsible for the debt?" Cao Huabo was mainly responsible for collecting taxes and fees, and the pressure was very high, so he suggested: "Otherwise the Dongfang Village will delay payment and all villages will follow."

"No!" Yu Kuansheng flatly refused, "Hongqi Winery owes tens of thousands of foreign debts. Once this starts, what's the point? The industrial company will only close the door. It can only be repaid in proportion until the end of the year."

"Then I can't blame me if I can't collect the tax and fee withdrawal." Cao Huabo was also a little angry.

The conference room fell into silence.

Both of them have a reasonable opinion.

Dongfang Village had a lot of opinions about the town because of the allocation and deduction of assets of Hongqi Winery. Now there are wages and grain arrears that should have been paid by the town. I am afraid that the reasons will be more sufficient. If Dongfang Village does not pay, then other villages must follow suit and compare them with each other, which will be troublesome.

"Old Fan, go and have a talk with Yang Wenyuan." Guo Yeshan took off his glasses, pinched his nose, and thought for a while before he said.

"It's OK to talk, but I guess the effect will not be good." Fan Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee in charge of party affairs, pondered: "I met Yang Wenyuan two days ago and talked to him. He said that the two committees in the village have great opinions on the way of handling Hongqi Winery. Now the promised debts will be paid by the town and will not be paid. Now the villagers pay the wage notes they owe to deduct taxes and fees, and he has no choice."

"There is no way? Why can't I do with him as the branch secretary?" Kong Lingdong said angrily: "I went to Dongfang Village twice. Yang Wenyuan was sarcastic and sarcastic. Secretary Guo, I think the Party Committee should consider the combat effectiveness of the Dongfang Village team. Why can Hongqi Village be enforced? People bear more debts. Dongfang Village is just a slander, which has a lot to do with the butts of the branch. "

"Do you have any better opinions?" Guo Yeshan ignored Kong Lingdong and asked calmly.

"Secretary Guo, this work must be done quickly and also considered. The person who tied the bell must be untied. The county urges it tightly, so it must be time to solve it. After the autumn grain harvest is delayed in September, it will be more difficult to collect the debt." Seeing some dismay, Jian Xingguo, member of the Party Committee and director of the Party and Government Office, quickly smoothed out the situation.

Guo Yeshan's face was slightly cold. Isn't this nonsense? But the person who tied the bell must be untied. I wonder if this refers to the industrial company or Hongqi Village?

The meeting ended and no satisfactory result was achieved. Guo Yeshan did not get up for a moment, and Sha Zhengyang was also busy packing the record book and preparing to leave.

"Zhengyang, wait a moment."

"Secretary Guo?" Sha Zhengyang was stunned. He was here to make records at the meeting before, and it was not his turn to speak at the Party and Government Office.

"You have been to the village very frequently during this period. How many villages have you been to?" Guo Yeshan asked tiredly leaning against the back of a rattan chair.

"I ran all the time, Hongqi Village ran a little more, and Dongfang Village also went three times."

Two weeks and twelve afternoons, except for one afternoon, Sha Zhengyang was in Xiacun for the other eleven afternoons.

After getting familiar with the office work, he took advantage of the cold to go to Xiacun for a few mornings. After a while, Hongqi Village was very familiar with it. Because of the winery in Dongfang Village, he also went there several times and became familiar with Yang Wenyuan and other members of the two committees.
