Put the negative impact of the pursuit of capital for profit into a "cage"

Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions on the protection of cultivated land. He stressed that cultivated land is the most precious resource in our country. The basic national conditions of our country, which has a large population and little land, determine that we must protect the cultivated land that has a bearing on the food of more than a billion people, and there must be no mistakes. It is necessary to do a good job in the pilot reform of the rural land system, and some people should not be allowed to occupy cultivated land in the name of reform. In particular, it is necessary to prevent some industrial and commercial capital from engaging in non-agricultural construction and affecting cultivated land protection and grain production after intervening in land transfer in rural areas.

"targeted" and "enlightening the deaf" is one of the language styles and features of General Secretary Xi's speech. This important instruction from General Secretary Xi also demonstrates the characteristics of this language style. Standing at the height of the overall situation and history, he not only emphasized that there must be no mistakes in the protection of cultivated land, but also specifically pointed out the risk points that should be paid special attention to in the current farmland reform, which undoubtedly has a strong realistic pertinence.

With regard to the reform of the rural land system, although the central government has clearly defined the "three bottom lines", insisting that the nature of public ownership of land will not be changed, the red line of cultivated land will not be broken, and the interests of farmers will not be damaged, it has been proposed to promote it in an orderly manner on the basis of pilot projects. However, there is no denying the fact that there are voices opposing the "three bottom lines" explicitly or implicitly from time to time, and the behavior of "snatching away" in the pilot project of agricultural land reform also occurs from time to time.

At present, what is particularly vigilant is that under the negative influence of the land "privatization" argument, capital to the rural "horse-racing enclosure" has shown a surging trend in some places. The reason why some capital dares to break through the prohibition of laws and regulations, colluding with a small number of grass-roots cadres to wantonly race the land in rural areas and secretly gamble on the revision of relevant laws and regulations, there are two main driving forces behind it: one is the pursuit of immediate and long-term "profits"; the other is the desire for illegal agriculture to turn into non-"profiteering".

The immediate "profit" of "horse racing enclosure" comes from various subsidies of modern agriculture. In many places, capital goes to the countryside to concentrate land, and modern agricultural machinery and equipment and drip irrigation facilities hardly need to be invested by themselves. in addition, there are various agriculture-related low-interest (discounted interest) loans; long-term "profits" can escape the pressure of currency depreciation. The ratio of M2 to GDP in China has repeatedly reached record highs. At present, the return of farmers' farming land is low, and the cost of enclosing rural land is very low. Some experts have repeatedly suggested that currency tigers are getting bigger and bigger and can be fed with the flesh of rural land.

The conversion from agriculture to non-"profiteering" of "horse racing enclosure" comes from the successful conversion of illegal agriculture from capital to rural land enclosure. Due to the land use control and the strict control of the conversion of agricultural land to construction land, the supply and demand of construction land is much more tense than that of agricultural land. Once the land is transformed from agricultural land to construction land, its value can be greatly improved. If this kind of illegal agriculture is converted to "exorbitant profits", its profit is not only "300%"?

Therefore, the capital of "horse racing enclosure" in rural areas is rarely satisfied with the pursuit of immediate and long-term "profits", and there is more desire for illegal agriculture to turn into non-"exorbitant profits". If capital is allowed to act recklessly on rural land, on the one hand, the tragedy of the displacement of landless farmers is very likely to occur, on the other hand, the destruction of valuable cultivated land resources is also an inevitable result.

"if you have food in your hand, don't panic in your heart. Ensuring food security is an eternal issue for China, and it should not be relaxed at any time. Historical experience tells us that once there is a great famine, it is useless to have money. " Cultivated land is the basis of food production, if the agricultural land reform is not conducive to the protection of cultivated land, but will lead to the non-agricultural use of cultivated land, threatening national food security, then it is difficult to say that this reform is successful.

The reform of rural land system is an important part of comprehensively deepening the reform. In order to be conducive to the final realization of the overall interests, fundamental interests and long-term interests of the country, we must guard against the negative impact of capital for profit in the farmland reform and put it into the "cage" of the law and system.
