Hundreds of years had passed, and what used to be a small relay station had now developed into a village. The village was called Shieripu Village, and with the reconstruction and expansion of Qingyang City, the village had been upgraded to a community. From then on, it had a grand name — Shieripu Community.
As Song Chaoyang walked, he asked Li Ming about the demolition and renovation of Shieripu Community.
Li Ming had done his homework in advance, so he could answer smoothly now. "… The original plan was to demolish 330 households, but now, 100 households have been demolished. The 100 households have all been relocated. During the transition period, each household will be given a resettlement fee of 5 yuan per square meter per year … There are a few main problems encountered during the demolition and transformation process. First, it is very difficult to demolish. For example, a large number of households who want to be demolished build privately in their own houses and courtyards in order to get more compensation. The phenomenon of adding two-story or even three-story buildings is very serious. Another example is that the resettlement fee subsidy is too low. Each household only gets one or two thousand yuan per year, but the rent in the neighborhood has risen to about one thousand yuan per month. The households can't afford to rent a house at all, so they are unwilling to demolish. Second, the relocation buildings are seriously overdue. This is caused by the slow approval process. The households are worried that they can't move into the new house on time, so they are unwilling to demolish. Third … "
Song Chaoyang nodded, frowned, and hesitated to speak. However, he didn't make any comments.
Li Rui followed behind the two and listened carefully to Li Ming's introduction. He had a deeper understanding of the details of the demolition and renovation project in the urban village. This was also an old saying: "It's better to walk a thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. The more you practice, the more you learn."
The three of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of Shieripu Community, which was the entrance to the village. From here, one could see that many houses near the roadside had been demolished and cleared out. There were also some places that were in the process of being demolished. All kinds of large-scale machinery and equipment were rumbling and accelerating the construction. There were also some places that had been demolished earlier that had started to build the foundations for new houses. It was a typical scene of a demolition site in an urban village. Looking deeper into the community, one could see rows of alleys and typical farmhouses that extended for several miles. Those were all places that had not been demolished yet.
Li Ming stopped and asked for Song Chaoyang's opinion, "Secretary, shall we take a look inside?" Song Chaoyang said, "Of course." Then he led the way inside.
The three of them walked a hundred meters along the main road into the community and arrived at the area that had not been demolished. From here to the south, there were all intact farmyards. The atmosphere of demolition had not spread to this area yet. The residents who lived here either walked through the streets, chatted in the alleys, or busied themselves with life in their own small courtyards. It was an ordinary and natural pace of life.
Li Ming raised his hand and pointed as he walked and said, "Secretary, look, these farmhouses here basically have two-story buildings on top of their roofs. Some of them really built two-story buildings using bricks and cement. Some of them just used plastic steel plates to build a two-story structure. They can't live in it at all. But even so, they still want to ask for a few more square meters of compensation or an additional building. Of course, we won't agree."
Song Chaoyang and Li Rui did not need to point to see that there were indeed two-story buildings in the farmhouses on both sides of the road. However, the so-called second floors were mostly like what Li Minggang had said. They were made of plastic steel and could not be considered second floors at all. What was even more frightening was that this kind of scene was not rare. Looking to the south, it was basically like this. There were very few houses that did not have a "two-story house", and there were even some that had a three-story house.
Song Chaoyang shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. China's farmers were the most honest, honest, and the easiest to bully. But at the same time, they also had the cunning and greed of small farmers. When they encountered something that could benefit them, they would definitely be more enthusiastic than the corrupt officials. Take the villagers in front of them for example. Their behavior could be described as "unruly people". Weren't they treating the local government and developers as fools? But they only had petty tricks and did not have great wisdom. They only cared about swindling money and neglected the possible serious consequences of doing so. Just wait and see, they would definitely not have a good ending. They were just deceiving themselves and others. Not only would they not get any benefits, but they would also suffer losses.
As they walked, they saw a few women chatting at the entrance of an alley in front of them. A few children were running around them, having a lot of fun.
Song Chaoyang walked up and smiled at the women. "Ladies, I came to Qingyang from the provincial capital to do business. When I came here, I found that your village has built two-story buildings. Tsk, tsk. Not bad. Is this a unified plan from the higher-ups?"
When the women heard this, they all looked at him. Some of them were shy and didn't say anything. Some of them were open and frank and continued, "What do you mean by unified planning? We built it ourselves. Is it beautiful? Why don't I think so? But it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not. It's only built to deal with the demolition. It's useless after the demolition. "
Song Chaoyang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Used to deal with the demolition? What does that mean? "
The woman who spoke was in her forties. She smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask? Who doesn't know? It's to get more compensation."
Song Chaoyang asked, "How can you get more compensation?"
The woman said, "Of course it can be done. The compensation for the demolition is calculated according to the number of rooms. All the rooms and courtyards are added together. I built a two-story building. When you sign the demolition compensation agreement with me, you have to include the area of my two-story building. I won't agree to anything less than one square meter."
Song Chaoyang smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the government will not recognize you for doing this?"
The woman curled her lips and said, "Tsk, the law can't punish the majority. If everyone does this, will the government dare to not recognize you? If they don't, we'll go and petition them together. "
Song Chaoyang laughed dryly and didn't ask any more questions. He continued to walk deeper into the community. After walking for a few dozen meters, he asked Li Ming, "Do you have a good solution for this problem in your district?"
Li Ming nodded and said, "There is a solution. Let the people from the Demolition Office take the community planning plan from two years ago, which was confirmed by the District Planning Bureau. Together with the community leaders, they will go door to door to check and evaluate. If the structure of the house is different from the previous one and has not been approved, it will be judged as illegal construction and will be demolished. If the case is serious, administrative or even judicial punishment will be considered."
Song Chaoyang asked, "Then has the problem been fully solved?"
This problem didn't need to be asked. It was definitely not fully solved. If it was, the fancy two-story plastic buildings on the surrounding roofs would have disappeared long ago.
Li Ming's face turned red and said, "It's not fully solved. Only a small part of it has been solved. This has a lot to do with the poor execution of our grassroots leaders, the lack of supervision and punishment methods, and the resistance of the local villagers. I have to admit that the quality of the farmers is lower than that of the citizens. The other slums are located in the city, and the residents are all citizens. This problem didn't happen, and the demolition went smoothly. "
Song Chaoyang nodded and sighed bitterly. He said, "The reason why I came here was because I was afraid that the district government and the lower departments would work together with the developers to reduce the investment and speed up the demolition process. My original intention was to listen to the opinions of the citizens and find out where the problem lies. In turn, I would improve the work style and execution methods of our government. Who knew … Heh, what I saw was a scene like this. It's just like the poem, 'I have my heart towards the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch'. Haha, haha. " Speaking of this, he stopped and turned around with waning interest. He sighed and said, "Let's go back. Let's go to the two slums in front."
The villagers of Er Li Pu had left a very bad impression on him, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. This caused him to turn around and leave before he could do any in-depth investigation. However, he was a serious and responsible Secretary. On the way back, he instructed Li Ming, "You must find a targeted solution to the various problems you just mentioned. You must use your brain more and use more gentle methods. You must not arbitrarily use violence. This point must be emphasized to the grassroots leaders. You must always pay attention to maintaining harmony. If there is any big trouble during the demolition process, such as the death of Sun Xiaobao last year and the subsequent events, even I can't save you."
Li Ming nodded repeatedly and made several promises.
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and said, "The resettlement fee during the transition period is indeed a little low. An ordinary family, with at least three or four people, can only get about two thousand yuan a year in resettlement fee. According to what you said, they can only rent for two months. This will greatly affect their normal life, and it will even cause resentment among the people. So you must also think of a way to solve this problem. You can either raise the resettlement fee standard or provide resettlement houses. Even if it's a bit shabby, you must let the demolition households have a place to live. "
Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary. I will consider this problem when I go back. I will definitely find a good solution. I promise that there won't be any problems because of this."
Song Chaoyang smiled and looked at him. He said, "You don't have to always give me promises. What I want is not a promise. I will come back after a while. At that time, I want to see that the demolition of Er Li Pu has been completed and that there are no problems during the demolition process. All the demolition households have houses to live in and basic living expenses. If you can't do this well, haha, it's because you are incompetent as the Mayor. "
Li Ming was so scared that his face changed and he hurriedly made another promise.
