Cao Lin had already anticipated the reaction of this group of unscrupulous people. If it were so easy for them to agree to move, wouldn't the construction of the funeral parlor in Shanchuan County have already been completed? Why wait until now.
Cao Lin was not in a hurry, knowing that he had to take it step by step, and then said loudly again: "Quiet, everyone, quiet, everyone. I know that everyone has opinions about the funeral parlor being built in our Guanzhuang Village, but there is no way. It is really not possible in other places. suitable.
The construction of county-level funeral homes is a mandatory task assigned by the province to the lower levels. Of the 121 county-level administrative units in the province, the remaining 120 counties have all completed it, except for us in Shanchuan County, so this matter is imperative.
Then why doesn’t the province allow everyone to be buried?
The state's ban on burials was originally enacted to strengthen funeral management, promote funeral reform, and promote the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. Reform burial by stipulating cremation, save land for funerals, get rid of bad funeral customs, and promote civilized and frugal funerals.
Secondly, it is to protect the use of cultivated land and avoid occupying agricultural land due to burials, thereby preventing the country's continuous reduction of agricultural land.
You can think about it, you are buried here today, and he is buried there tomorrow. After several generations of burials, there are fewer and fewer apprentices. What do you use to farm the land? How do some farmers who depend on the land live? "
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Cao Lin's words quickly attracted refutation from the common people.
"What do you mean there is no way? Others are not willing to let you build, so you come to us instead. When we say we won't let you build, you tell us that it is stipulated by the province? The province stipulates that in our Huanglin Town, Is there a funeral parlor built in Guanzhuang Village? If it is really stipulated like this, you only need to show a certificate, and these people in our village will guarantee that there will be no complaints, don’t you think so?"
"Yeah! Don't keep talking about the regulations in the province. It's prohibited by the state. I just want to ask, has the state and the government said anything about whether to build a funeral parlor in our Guanzhuang Village?"
"Haha, don't scare us with the province. The province has regulations. Why should we, Guanzhuang Village, be chosen in the end? Are we easy to bully or something?"
"It's also nonsense to say that the country doesn't allow burials. Why don't we still bury people in the ground after they die? The country doesn't step in to take care of it?"
"Is it okay if he doesn't allow burial? Burying the dead in peace has been a rule that we in China have adhered to for many years. If you don't let the dead be buried in the ground and they have to be burned to ashes, aren't you afraid that they will come back to you with their eyes still open?"
"The question is still being asked. We farmers have not spoken. Why do you make the decision for us? How much space can a person bury? Hasn't everyone buried it in the ground for thousands of years? Neither have I. See how little land we have."
The villagers in Guanzhuang Village were all talking about anything. Cao Lin didn't stop him when he saw it. It was good if everyone could talk, so as not to hold back their anger until the time came for violent construction.
Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Cao Lin continued: "In the national funeral reform, changing burial to cremation is the general trend. This will not change. Now it is mainly because there is land in the countryside and everyone's ideas are more traditional. The state takes care of everyone's emotions, so there is no mandatory requirement. However, this has already begun to be implemented in big cities, and the next step is for our rural areas.
Therefore, it is still necessary to build a county-level funeral parlor. Otherwise, after people die in the future, they will be cremated. Do we have to go to other counties for cremation?
Just like the previous construction of a slaughterhouse, everyone blocked it and refused to let it be built, saying that it would affect this and that. But what was the result? Now if we want to build a house, we will not be granted approval. If we want to kill a pig, we have to go to another county to kill it. As a result, the price of pork in our county is one or two dollars higher on average than in other counties. Everyone Do the math, how much more will you spend on buying pork this year than others? "
Cao Lin's words had some effect. Some villagers thought carefully and felt that this was true. What if the country issued a mandatory requirement not to allow burial but to change it to cremation? There isn't even a crematorium in their county, and when the time comes to hold funerals, they have to go to other counties. The back and forth is so time-consuming.
Of course, there were also many villagers who didn't buy it and spoke out confidently.
"You just said that now the country doesn't care about the countryside, it only takes care of the cities. When the country takes charge of the countryside, it will be decades later. We are all buried in the ground, so what is there to be afraid of?"
"That's right, the next generation is willing to do whatever they want, but the older generation above us said they would not cremate him. They clamored at home to ask me to come, saying that if I don't bury him in the ground after a hundred years, it would be unfilial. , if I dare to cremate him, he will come back to me..."
"Yes, that's what my family said, but we don't have to worry. The official just said that we won't be able to control our rural areas for a while, and cremation will be a matter for the future."
"The official is right. It is certain that our county will build a funeral parlor, but why does it have to be built in our village? You can change the place."
"Yes, let's change the location. We agree to build a funeral parlor in the county, but if it is built in our Guanzhuang, then we can't agree to anything."
Seeing that some villagers relented, Cao Lin continued: "Everyone can understand that it is best to build a funeral parlor in the county. I would like to thank you in advance for your support to the government.
But this location says it can’t be changed anymore. You pushed me and blocked it. No matter where it is changed, there will be villagers who are not happy. When we decided to place the place here for the first time, we also considered it from many aspects. I hope Everyone believes in the government and provides support. "
As soon as Cao Lin said this, many villagers couldn't sit still. You started to refute one by one, basically just one sentence, why can others change places if they cause trouble, but we can't change if we cause trouble?
At this time, the bad nature of human beings, which is not worried about scarcity but inequality, becomes apparent.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. I know everyone has emotions. In order to take care of the emotions of the people, our government has also decided to come up with a solution.
As everyone knows, this county-level funeral parlor was jointly built by an investment company established by our county government and Yongyi Group. After discussions with Yongyi Group, it was decided to use 3% of the funeral parlor's total revenue as a subsidy every year. Guanzhuang Village Committee, and then the Guanzhuang Village Committee personally distributes it to everyone. "
Cao Lin has calculated that this 3% is already a lot. Once the country implements cremation, as the only funeral parlor in the county, it will definitely be busy. The annual income is at the level of 100 million. If 3% is distributed, Every villager has thousands of dollars in his hands.
Hearing that they would get money every year, the villagers looked at me and I looked at you, and they were obviously a little shaken. Seeing this, Cao Lin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "This is not over yet. After discussion, Yongyi The group decided to invest 7000W to build a cast pipe factory in our Guanzhuang Village. In addition to the fixed amount of money given to the village committee every year, an additional 3% of total sales will be added as a subsidy. The Guanzhuang Village Committee will also personally distribute it to everyone, and We will also give limited consideration to our villagers in Guanzhuang Village when recruiting workers. I took a general look and found that the employee benefits are pretty good. Now we don’t have to go out to work and can earn enough to support our families at home.”
As soon as Cao Lin's words came out, it caused an uproar in an instant, and the mood was even hotter than before. These are real benefits. Guanzhuang Village already has resources, and every household can have some spare money. Now that the country has imposed restrictions, resources have also There is not much left. The villagers suddenly became poor and had to go out to work. As hard as they used to be, they are now very miserable. Now it would be great to have more companies in the village.
"It's true. You can't lie to us, can you? Don't look back. We just agreed to it now, and you built the funeral parlor and then immediately disowned it."
"That's right, if you don't fulfill your promise after the funeral home is built, we can't demolish it."
Some villagers began to question, and Cao Lin smiled slightly. He was not afraid of your questioning, but afraid that you would disagree.
"Everyone can rest assured about this. The person in charge of Yongyi Group is here. Anyone who is interested in joining the company can sign the agreement now. Manager Wei of Yongyi Group will explain the rest to everyone."
Uncle Wei, who had followed Cao Lin, stood up immediately, and taking this opportunity, Cao Lin walked out of the simple conference room to smoke. Listening to the fiery voice behind him, Cao Lin sighed slightly.
Qian Chen stood in the conference room and listened for a few words, then walked out.
As soon as Qian Chen came out, he saw He Bing spreading cigarettes for Cao Lin. As the mayor of the town, He Bing had to accompany him throughout the whole process since his superiors were here.
As for Huang Youqiang, secretary of the Huanglin Town Party Committee who wears the same pants as the Cao family, he is still engaged in ideological education in the township.
When He Bing saw Qian Chen coming, he immediately handed one to Qian Chen. Qian Chen did not refuse and took it generously, then took out a lighter and lit it for the three of them.
"County Magistrate Cao, this is Qian Chen, our deputy mayor of Huanglin Town."
"Are you Qian Chen?"
As he said that, Cao Lin stared at Qian Chen and looked at him carefully.
Qian Chen stepped forward with a smile and said hello, not showing any disgust at Cao Lin's scrutiny: "Hello, County Magistrate Cao, have you heard of me?"
Cao Lin stared at Qian Chen and said with a smile on his face, "Oh, I've heard of it, it's like thunder."
Not as good as Lei Guan'er. They asked people from the Hua family, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to repay the favor. Which one of them could the Cao family afford to offend?
Qian Chen frowned slightly and said briefly, "What are you talking about, County Magistrate Cao? I'm just a little person."
Little guy? We found a group of gods to warn our Cao family. You told me that you are a nobody? What a joke.
"Heroes come from young, Mayor Qian is really humble."
Then the three of them chatted a bit about the current situation of Huanglin Town.
Seeing what Uncle Wei had said inside, Cao Lin planned to go in, but before going in, Cao Lin actually hugged Qian Chen's overtime, patted him with great relief, and said in a gentle tone: "Remember Please help me ask Director Li of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee."
After saying that, Cao Lin let go of Qian Chen and went in first, leaving Qian Chen there with a confused look on his face.
Did you, old boy, take the wrong medicine? What is Director Li of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee? I want to get to know the director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and why am I being bullied like this by your Cao family?
