Qian Chen walked out of Mayor He Bing's office and couldn't help but secretly shook his head.
He didn't manage the division of labor himself, and was left with the job of processing materials for the mayor, but that was fine. Shen Jun had told him that if he worked more, he wouldn't suffer. After all, He Bing owed him a favor, right? You may not know when it will be used in the future.
Qian Chen quickly asked someone to bring Old Man Liu to his office.
Old man Liu has silver hair. He looks to be over seventy years old. He is tall and thin, even though he is stooped, he is taller than the average person. His skin is dark, and he looks like he was sunburned from working in the fields for a long time. He has a stern face. Apparently he was very resentful of the "inauthentic" behavior of the police at the police station.
Now that it has been confirmed that Qian Chen is in charge of petition work, it is useless for Qian Chen to think about it. It is true that he must do his job well first.
Qian Chen started recording immediately. Shen Jun taught him this to avoid any problems in the future.
"Uncle Liu, I am Qian Chen, the new deputy mayor. You can call me Xiao Qian. From now on, I will be responsible for the petition work in our town. If you encounter any problems, you are welcome to come to me at any time."
Seeing that Qian Chen had a good attitude, Uncle Liu's expression softened.
"I have a problem now. The police said that the poppies I planted were drugs. They arrested me and sentenced me to half a month. Old man, I don't understand the law and deserve to be arrested. But is it too much for you to destroy my land? ! Old man, I am alone. I have no children or daughters, only my younger brother and his family. No one cares about me. I rely on these acres of land to survive. Now that the land is destroyed, how can I survive?"
"Uncle Liu, don't worry. I'll pour you a glass of water. You can speak slowly."
"I don't drink water. They didn't destroy your land. You must not be in a hurry."
"Well, then please tell me specifically how they destroyed your land."
"How can I destroy it? Tell me, I just planted some poppies on both sides of the ridge. If you want to force them to eradicate them, just force them to be eradicated. I have no objection. But to save trouble, the guys at the police station directly hired a tractor to go in and remove the poppies together with them. All the crops were smashed on the ground. Tell me, isn’t this the loss of crops in these acres of my land in vain? You are the government, but you can’t be unreasonable. You must compensate me for this! Otherwise I will keep suing you!
Also, I asked someone about it. It’s not like ordinary crops can be planted in the ground and it can nourish the land. That thing is very harmful to the ground. It’s impossible to grow crops now, even in the next two years. It will also damage the cultivation of crops. It will not only be two years, but at least... at least five years, yes, five years. Tell me, I won't be able to grow many crops in five years. How can I survive? You have to compensate me for this. Loss, otherwise you will not care about me for five years! Didn't someone threaten me just now, saying that if I make trouble again, they will arrest me? "
Hearing Old Man Liu's words, Qian Chen couldn't help but frown. The police station did go a bit too far. It was enough to eradicate poppies, so why destroy other people's crops.
"Uncle Liu, okay, I already understand your matter. You sit here and drink some water. I'll go confirm with the police station."
Old man Liu saw that Qian Chen's sincerity was different from other cadres, so he didn't feel embarrassed and just nodded and said nothing.
Qian Chen came back soon, his expression was not very good, and he obviously got confirmation from the police station.
"Uncle Liu, how much land did you destroy in total?"
"Four acres are nine cents, so let's count it as five acres for you. After all, there are crops growing on some ridges."
Qian Chen didn't take it seriously. It's normal for people to want more compensation after their land was destroyed.
"Do you know how many poppies you have grown?"
Uncle Liu was a little wary: "Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, just tell the truth, just give a rough idea."
"Seven to eight hundred, close to a thousand."
"Is it definitely more than five hundred?"
"I'm sure, I have nothing to lie to you about. I only found out later that this thing is illegal."
"Look, the comrade at the police station just said that you have planted more than 500 opium poppies. According to our country's regulations, if you exceed 500 poppies, you will not only be subject to administrative detention, but will also be sentenced to prison."
Hearing this, Old Man Liu thought it was Qian Chen who was scaring him, and he immediately became unhappy. He acted like a dead pig that is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water: "Prison sentence? That's just right. Sentence me to 5 years and take care of my food for 5 years." !”
"Uncle Liu, I haven't finished saying this yet. You are willing to be imprisoned, but this is not only a sentence, but also a fine. Not only will you not be compensated for the land, but your home will also be sold. property."
When Old Man Liu heard that he was going to be fined, he stood up from his seat: "What? If you don't give me money, you will be fined for selling my things. You can try selling one!"
"Uncle Liu, don't get excited. This is indeed stipulated in our "Criminal Law", but we didn't do it. We just took your difficulties into consideration, so the police station gave you a public security management penalty of 500 plants. Detained for 15 days and fined 3,000 yuan. Of course, they did not do enough, so they did not fine you."
As Qian Chen spoke, he looked up the "Criminal Law" and "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" from the Internet for Old Man Liu to read.
Old man Liu didn't know many words, but he pretended to look at it a few times: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Of course not. If you don't trust me, you can find any young man from your village and you can find out all this by searching online."
"Hmph, I think you are different from other cadres, so I will trust you once. Then tell me what I should do about this matter!"
"Do you think this is okay? A fine of 3,000 yuan will definitely not be fined on you. It will be regarded as compensation for the loss of your crops. Out of humanitarianism, our government will compensate you 1,000 yuan per year for two years, a total of 2,000 After two years, your land will recover and you can just farm normally."
"2,000 yuan?"
Old Man Liu frowned, obviously not satisfied with the compensation amount: "2,000 yuan is too little, at least 5,000 yuan!"
"Uncle Liu, 2,000 yuan is really a lot. I just asked about it. It only costs 300 yuan a year to transfer one acre of land in your village. Five acres of land is 1,500 yuan, and our government has given it to you." 1,000 yuan, you still plant the land. Even if the poppies are broken and there is some damage to the land, the damage will be minimal. Aren't you satisfied?"
Old man Liu fell into silence. He was obviously quite satisfied with Qian Chen's solution, but he still wanted to get more money. After all, he was a common man. He thought he could take advantage of it, so just like Bargaining is the same. Sometimes I already agree with the price in my heart, but I just want to get more, and I haggle just for the sake of bargaining. In the end, I really can’t get it down, so I feel like it’s someone else’s bottom line, so I pay for it. Down.
Not just ordinary people, almost most people have this problem, so Old Man Liu said again: "Xiaoqian, I think you are a good cadre who serves the people, and I won't tell you randomly. In this way, you can give me I’ll add 500 yuan, give me 2,500 yuan at once, and I’ll never talk about this again, what do you think?”
"Uncle Liu, you have seen my attitude. I really want to help you solve this problem, but the 2,000 yuan is already over.
That's it, I still have to report to the leader to approve the money. Maybe I will be punished by the leader. After all, according to the regulations, you can't do this, but I am also the son of a farmer. I know the difficulties of farmers, so I give it to you. So solved. "
Hearing this, Old Man Liu fell into silence again. When Qian Chen saw this, he knew that Old Man Liu had almost accepted it, so he said, "Uncle Liu, I really tried my best to do this. If you still can't figure it out, you can go back." Think about it, when you come back after you have figured out what to do, I will always be working in this office."
Old man Liu raised his head and looked at Qian Chen for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, young man, I believe you once, and we will solve it as you said."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, let's do this. I'll contact you after I report to the leader and approve the money. Then we'll sign an agreement and the matter will be over.
Remember not to plant poppies when you go back. The police station has already taken precautions. Next time, they may have to give you a few poppies, but it won't be so easy to deal with by then. "
"Okay, I didn't know it was illegal to grow this thing before, otherwise we wouldn't be able to grow it."
Uncle Liu was about to leave, but Qian Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, and then spoke to Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, wait a minute, is what you just said about your personal situation true?"
Old man Liu thought Qian Chen was going to regret it, and his face suddenly dropped: "What do you mean? I am so old and I can still lie to you."
"Uncle Liu, your character is really impatient. You have misunderstood again. What I mean is that if what you just said is true, our government can apply for the five-guarantee household for you. Then the government will give you a five-guarantee household every month. You will receive a certain subsidy.”
"Ah, it's true, it's true. What I just said is all true. Can you really apply for a five-guarantee household for me?"
"It depends on the situation. Please leave me your address and I will go to your home to find out more about the situation."
"Okay... Xiaoqian, you are really one of the few good cadres. We in Huanglin Town are very lucky."
Old man Liu was very grateful to Qian Chen. He had applied for a five-guarantee household before, but it was taken over by the village chief or some relative of someone. There was nothing he could do about it. Now that Qian Chen said it, he was suddenly Give him hope.
Coordinating and resolving problems, putting things to rest and stopping visits, for Qian Chen, can be regarded as returning to his old profession. You must know that the county committee inspection office not only has to go to towns and units to conduct inspections, but also supervises the handling of letters and visits from county committee secretaries, so Qian Chen was quite familiar with solving problems and quickly came up with a plan that satisfied Old Man Liu.
However, when Qian Chen followed Old Man Liu downstairs, he found a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes staring at him downstairs.
