Chapter 26 Chapter 6: Looking for a way out - 5 Blossoms inside the walls and fragrance outside the walls

He Kaiyin's idea of ​​reforming rural taxes and fees was defeated at two enlarged county party committee meetings in Yingshang and Guoyang, but he did not stop there. After returning to the provincial capital of Hefei, he kept looking for other supporters.At that time, the mayor of Tongling City, the famous copper capital of China, which is close to the Yangtze River, set off a massive discussion in the city to emancipate the mind by finding gaps and exposing family ugliness. little repercussions.He Kaiyin had a whim: why not send his reform plan to Wang Yang for a look?He thought so, and immediately took action. He wrote a letter to the young mayor who was determined to reform, and attached the relevant materials at the same time.

Wang Yang read He Kaiyin's letter and materials and thought it was very good, so he approved it to Tongling County and asked the county to study the feasibility of implementation.At that time, although Chen Songlin, secretary of the Tongling County Party Committee, was studying at the Provincial Party School, he immediately expressed his support when he heard about the incident; Tang Shiding, deputy secretary of the county Party committee and county magistrate who presided over the work at home, was even more enthusiastic. After receiving instructions from Mayor Wang Yang , Immediately wrote to He Kaiyin, inviting him to Tongling.

He Kaiyin hurried southward full of joy. He did not expect that one of his letters would have an effect so quickly. However, what he also did not expect was that at the meeting of several major groups in Tongling County, after he introduced the detailed idea of ​​tax and fee coordination, at the meeting The scene that appeared was the same as what was seen in Yingshang and Guoyang. The supporters were confident and confident, while the opponents were also unequivocally passionate, and each side refused to give in. This made Tang Shiding, the county magistrate who presided over the meeting, very embarrassed.

When Tang Shiding saw off He Kaiyin at the end, he repeatedly stated: He very much hoped to carry out an experiment of rural tax and fee coordination in Tongling County, but the reform of tax and fee is of great importance. Without the explicit support of the provincial leaders, the following opinions are very difficult to unify.Besides, the change of government is imminent. If there is a clear attitude from the provincial party committee and the provincial government, it is better to maintain the continuity of the pilot. He Kaiyin returned to Hefei disappointed again, and it was difficult for him to calm down.Because, at this time, he suddenly received a letter from the Hebei Provincial Party Committee Research Office, and almost at the same time, he also received a letter from Xing Luzhen, secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee Secretary, very unexpectedly.He told them separately that his plans for deepening rural reforms had drawn great attention from the main leaders of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, and believed that "the ideas and methods he proposed are not only suitable for the development of Hebei's rural commodity economy, but also for the development of the national rural economy." Development also makes sense.”

Reading these messages from the land of Yanzhao, He Kaiyin was filled with emotion.While he was deeply inspired, he was also deeply saddened and helpless. "Could it be that this matter also verifies the old adage of 'flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall'?" He never forgot the expectations of Yu Guoyao, the Rural Team of the State Council Research Office: The agricultural contract was first established in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, and he hoped that Anhui could take another good lead in deepening rural reforms! Although his idea has become a luxury in Anhui, and has hit a wall in three counties in Huaibei and Jiangnan, he still wrote a letter to the leader of the provincial government where he worked. In the letter, he sincerely hoped that "Provincial leaders clearly expressed their support in order to facilitate a unified understanding."

Soon, Chen Zhexiang, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, Wang Sheyun, the deputy governor in charge of agriculture, and Shao Ming, the executive deputy governor, successively made very affirmative instructions in He Kaiyin's letter.Especially Shao Ming's instructions, He Kaiyin was very moved after seeing it: "Comrade He Kaiyin's suggestion has been proposed for many years, and I have read it and thought about it many times. Now the central government advocates a bold trial, whether to choose a county or a township. If you agree to conduct a pilot project, we will talk to the provincial leaders and find relevant departments to study together, how about it?"

Because Shao Ming's attitude was so firm, He Kaiyin waited confidently for him to "talk to the provincial leaders again."However, day by day, until the end of the year, his report fell into the sea like mud, and there was no news about it.Seeing that another year has passed, and the New Year's Day is being sent away, the Spring Festival is approaching again. Seeing that everyone is busily buying new year's goods happily, He Kaiyin feels a kind of tiredness and melancholy in his heart, and there is no feeling of Chinese New Year Feeling. He is a very serious person. It has been five years since he came up with some ideas for deepening agricultural reform, but his ideas can only be ideas, and they are still just ideas on paper.How he longed to have a pilot so that his dream could come true!

Listening to the festive firecrackers lit by the children on the street from time to time, he thought, "The world is so big, it would be great if it can be adopted by other provinces!" He Kaiyin finally lost patience with the possibility of doing this in Anhui, and he began to set his sights on other provinces.Although it made him somewhat frustrated. He thought that since the provincial capital of Hebei is so attached and ready to take action, he has reason to believe that most of China's provinces and autonomous regions will be interested in his reform measures. He immediately thought of Li Changchun, governor of the neighboring province.

This is firstly because Henan Province, like Anhui Province, is a large agricultural province, and the biggest problem facing a large agricultural province is also the burden of farmers.Of course, the reason why he thinks of Li Changchun is also because Li Changchun's name has long been known to him and to many Chinese.When Li Changchun was the mayor of Shenyang and the governor of Liaoning, the story of his daring to carry out reforms has been known to the world; Shenyang Explosion-proof Equipment Factory was the first to declare bankruptcy in the country, which is the most exciting story of him. a sum.

He Kaiyin wrote a letter to Li Changchun as if reporting to a leader he was very familiar with and trusted.He made an account of the ins and outs of his rural reform ideas; the specific reform plan; and the special issue of "Decision-making Reference" compiled by the Research Office of the State Council for this purpose, which was sent to the leaders of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the State Council and attracted the attention of Premier Li Peng. illustrate.At the same time, he also attached to the letter his recently written article "Fundamental Measures for Developing Rural Commodity Economy".

After the letter was sent, He Kaiyin did not have much hope.He knew that the governor of a province had a lot of work to do, and there were too many things to worry about. Besides, he had never lived with him, so he wrote a letter. It was unknown whether Governor Li would see the letter.It's just that after making this confession, He Kaiyin seemed to have settled down a concern, and as soon as the letter was sent, he immediately felt a lot lighter all over. Li Changchun attached great importance to his letter, and the Economic System Reform Committee of Henan Province soon sent him an enthusiastic official letter. After reading the official letter, He Kaiyin knew that his letter had just been sent out, and Li Changchun was no longer the governor of the province, but the Secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee.The letter reads: "Your letter and materials to Secretary Li Changchun have been received. Secretary Li Changchun and Vice Governor Li Chengyu respectively issued instructions, instructing us to study your opinions and contact you. We believe that you are in the "Fundamental Measures for Developing Rural Commodity Economy" In this article, many good suggestions and opinions have been put forward, which are of certain significance and effect on further deepening rural reform. I hope that you will continue to send us your new research results and new insights in the future, so that we can communicate and discuss with each other." With the letter, they also sent a copy of Li Changchun and Li Chengyu's instructions.It can be known from the approval documents that the Henan Provincial Party Committee has decided to "implement the collection of agricultural tax" and decided to pilot it in Shangqiu area first. On March 20, I received a letter from the Economic System Reform Committee of Henan Province; on April 14, I received a letter from Vice Governor Li Chengyu expressing my heartfelt thanks to He Kaiyin on behalf of the Henan Provincial People's Government. Seeing that her hard work finally paid off, He Kaiyin felt very relieved. However, compared with this, what disappointed He Kaiyin was that after a long period of one year, he reported to the Anhui provincial government, but he never received any news. Of course, during this period, Anhui also had news that made him happy.That is, his long-awaited reform of the land system has shown gratifying clues: the National Rural Work Conference conveyed a decision made by the central government to extend the use rights of farmers' contracted land for 30 years without changing, and to allow paid transfers, Mortgage as a price, or participate in collective management as shares. Solve the permanent contract of land and give farmers a long-term use right. This is what He Kaiyin strongly called for five years ago.As soon as the new decision was communicated, the Fuyang Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Office, under the specific guidance of Du Ying, Director of the Office of the National Rural Reform Experimental Area, and others, took the lead in bold exploration.They re-measured cultivated land throughout the region, taking administrative villages as units, and according to the actual rural population, in line with the principles of "strengthening ownership, clarifying the right to contract, stabilizing the right to contract, and loosening the right to use", they carried out a new project in full swing. A round of farmland contracting and distribution, the contracted land does not increase in life and does not decrease in death. It can be inherited, or transferred, leased, mortgaged, or purchased by farmers for a fee.This change allowed the farmers who transferred the land to go out to work and do business with peace of mind, and it also helped the experts in farming to expand their business scale. As a result, many agricultural science and technology personnel and township enterprises leased land to engage in professional production.This move not only increased the output rate of the land, but also greatly promoted the division of labor and industry in China's rural areas in the future. Although this is not exactly the same as He Kaiyin’s proposal to the Central Committee of the “Proposal to implement permanent contracting of cultivated land and give farmers long-term use rights”, the commodity attribute of land has only been partially restored, and the transfer of land resource elements has only been moderately carried out, but He Kaiyin has already made great progress. Take heart, because freeing land use rights is no longer a fantasy. He is convinced of Mao Zedong's words: "Don't worry about China's affairs, take your time." "After the initial settlement of the land contract system problem that plagued 900 million farmers, the most prominent problem among the many contradictions in the countryside is the reform of the tax and fee system." He thought, "Although this matter cannot be urgent, my hair is waiting It's clear!"
