Chapter 441: Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people
"Hey... In fact, we can't unilaterally say that it's all the government's fault. After all, our place is too remote and the economy is really backward. What's the saying? Poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people.
Ah..." The village secretary sighed, took a sip of old wine and said again: "Then
The former head of the township came from our village, so he treated us villagers very well and had a very gentle temper. However, it is precisely for this reason that the villagers in some villages relied on this relationship to not pay any taxes at all.
In addition to paying taxes, during the busy farming season, we still have to go to the countryside to ask for subsidies."
"You also know, how much money can there be in our place? Not to mention the countryside, even the counties and cities are very poor. The national special poverty subsidy has been exploited layer by layer in the countryside. There is not much in the past.
The township head was too embarrassed to use it at all.
Strong measures were taken to collect the taxes receivable, and the subsidy had to be distributed to the villagers every penny. As a result, the township's finances had a big problem. But the township chief couldn't tell him his troubles.
As long as he mentioned the matter of tax arrears, he would immediately
Villagers from various villages would go to his village where his parents lived to complain. His parents were also honest farmers, so they always felt that if their son forgot his roots after he became an official in the fish and meat village, he would be scolded.
.He is still a filial son, so much so that
Things have been delayed like this... Finally this year, it can no longer be delayed. The county's financial inspector found a problem, the tax revenue was short of the boss's, and the township chief was dismissed by the county officials because of his poor performance.
With such a new township head..."
The village secretary shook his head as he spoke: "It's your own fault. I don't know much about the specific situation. I can only speculate based on common sense. Since the county believes that the previous township head did not do a good job, then he will definitely send a
He is a capable person, and this township head is also very capable. When he first took office, he may have been afraid of being insecure in his position, so he never mentioned the tax owed by the villagers.
However, as time went by, the township head gradually gained a firm foothold and began to collect taxes arbitrarily. Not only the taxes that should be paid now, but also what was owed in the past must be made up, and even the taxes given by the state must be paid.
The subsidy is directly deducted from the tax deduction...Those slightly wealthier villages are doing better, but the extremely poor like us in Datun Village are completely on the road to death..."
"According to what you said, these taxes should actually be paid? Are they not illegal taxes that were temporarily thought up by the countryside?" Le Pingfan blinked, but he didn't expect that things turned out to be like this. This was different from him.
The drama of simple peasants fighting evil officials that I thought of at the beginning is too far away...[
"Yes, although some taxes are temporarily increased, it is not a coincidence. It is entirely to make up for the debts owed in the previous two years. But you know, we really can't afford it, and this year happens to be
In the year of disaster, life is almost unbearable. Life was relatively easy in the first two years and everyone had some spare money, but now it is hard to find even a cent."
The village secretary had a helpless look on his face, which looked very depressing: "So we plan to go to the countryside tomorrow to have a talk with the mayor. If it doesn't work, we can pay it off over several years. We really have no money this year...
