Farmers who grow crops on concrete: it's a joke to grow well in this way.

"if crops can be planted well in this way, it's a joke." A villager who is weeding weeds in Zhengyang Development Zone, Qianjiang District, Chongqing, told the 21st Century Economic report on September 25.

Near him, there is a flat land of about 1500 square meters, and Turnip Sprouts, who is 1 centimeter high, is exposed to the ground. But the color of the soil on the surface is different from that of the hills next to it. The soil on this flat land is transported from a different place, and its purpose is to cover up the poured concrete ground beneath it. The concrete floor is roughly 40 cm to 50 cm thick and the soil layer is 20 cm to 30 cm thick.

The old man said that the land had been inspected by the land department last year. At that time, they planted rape. In fact, these rapeseed died quickly. The purpose of growing rape and radish is to let the people who come to inspect them to see that the land has been "reclaimed".

In Zhengyang Development Zone, Qianjiang District, it is not only the plots where "crops grow on concrete" are famous, and some similar "reclaimed" plots are much larger than this. Because the mulch is unnutritious and the soil layer is too thin, it is difficult for trees and crops to survive.

According to the relevant reclamation standards of Chongqing and the state, the reclaimed land and soil cover must be 50 cm thick in order to restore the land planting function.

Several villagers interviewed in Zhengyang Development Zone, Qianjiang District, said that the above-mentioned "reclamation" was one of the centralized rectification actions aimed at the large-scale land nature and use discovered by the Chengdu Bureau of Land Supervision (hereinafter referred to as "Chengdu Supervision Bureau").

From September 22 to 23, 2014, Chen Ning, deputy director of the Chengdu Supervision Bureau, led a routine land inspection team to Qianjiang District of Chongqing City to conduct a medium-term supervision and inspection on the implementation of land rectification and reform in Qianjiang District.

For the time being, it is difficult for economic reporters in the 21st century to further confirm whether the above-mentioned two "reclamation" points are among the qualified statistical areas for rectification in the area. Officials in charge of press affairs of the Qianjiang district government and the head of the office of the Land Bureau did not comment on the matter.

The disputed land involves 20,000 mu

On April 7, 2014, the Chengdu Bureau of State Land Supervision conducted a 20-day routine land inspection in Qianjiang District. On July 30, the bureau officially delivered the "opinion of the Supervision Bureau" to the Chongqing Municipal Government.

From September 22 to 23, 2014, Chen Ning, deputy director of the Chengdu Bureau of State Land Supervision, led a routine land inspection team to Qianjiang District of Chongqing City to conduct a medium-term supervision on the implementation of land rectification and reform in Qianjiang District.

According to the relevant text obtained by the reporter of the 21st Century Economic report, on August 8, Qianjiang District held a mobilization meeting for routine land supervision and inspection work in Qianjiang District. Gan Qifei, director of the Qianjiang District Land Bureau, at this meeting, with the theme of "concentrating manpower, time, and energy, and carrying out routine land inspection, investigation and rectification work with the courage to take responsibility," disclosed the problems of the land being investigated and dealt with in the area and suggestions on rectification measures.

Gan Qifei said at the mobilization meeting that the Chengdu Inspection Bureau identified 11 major categories of land use problems in Qianjiang District, the first of which was to "artificially change 16000 mu of current agricultural land into construction land" in Qianjiang District in 2009. Listed in the second item, Qianjiang District is recognized as "widespread pre-requisition of land" by Chengdu Supervision Bureau, and "illegal expropriation of land infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers".

The so-called pre-requisition of land means that under the premise of useless land formalities and legal procedures, the land is used first, and then the land use procedures are completed and completed. The popular understanding is "get on the bus first, then buy the ticket." For example, the "Yixin Mining" project in the district started in early 2012 and was completed and put into production at the time of site verification, but the land requisition approval was only obtained in May 2013; the "Lijiaxi Resettlement area" project started in September 2011, the examination and approval procedures for agricultural land conversion and land expropriation have not yet been obtained at the time of on-the-spot verification.

In 2013 alone, Qianjiang District Government implemented six batches of agricultural land conversion process "less batch and more requisition" of 783.85 mu of arable land. Chengdu Inspection Bureau identified it as "illegal land expropriation". Under the item of infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers, it also includes the problem of inadequate social security and housing resettlement.

Since 2011, land expropriation in Qianjiang District has involved 9947 people who have been transferred to non-agricultural areas, but by the time they were investigated in April 2014, 1356 people had not implemented social security.

In addition, since 2012, the 37 projects expropriated in Qianjiang District should return more than 2100 people to 702 households, and nearly 2000 people are still in transition, that is to say, 94.24% of the land-expropriated farmers in the area in the past two years have yet to settle the housing problem.

The other seven major categories involving the area of land are illegal land grant of 523.9 mu, illegal and illegal land transfer of 501.07 mu, illegal registration and mortgage of 1261.05 mu, falsely increased cultivated land of 16.87 mu, idle land disposal of less than 306.75 mu, illegal and illegal land of 95 cases of 2447.3 mu, and 6 cases of land granted by the "Historical approval documents" which have been invalidated for an extended period of time, totaling 210.4 mu.

The other two major categories investigated and dealt with by the Chengdu Supervision Bureau in Qianjiang District are that the land management policies in attracting investment do not comply with the relevant regulations, and the administrative penalties for illegal land use are not in place.

According to the implementation Plan of routine Supervision and rectification work in Qianjiang District in 2014, the total amount of land investigated and dealt with by Chengdu Supervision Bureau in Qianjiang District is more than 20,000 mu.

Land violation of government financing platform

It is worth noting that under the major category of Qianjiang "Land illegal Registration and Mortgage financing" investigated and dealt with by the Chengdu Inspection Bureau, the three sub-issues are directly related to the Qianjiang District Land Bureau, such as suspected of illegal segmentation registration and issuance of certificates, false land supply, registration for mortgage financing, illegal approval of mortgage financing for public welfare facilities, repeated registration of mortgage financing, and so on.

The above operations mainly involve the investment and financing platform companies under the Qianjiang district government.

For example, in December 2010, Chongqing Hongye Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Qianjiang District State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission, used four cases of 808.65 mu reserve land for mortgage financing with the consent of the district government. After paying the land transfer fee, the District Land and Housing Administration registered his rights and interests for mortgage loans. Since 2011, the Qianjiang District Government has incorporated 288.3 mu of infrastructure and public facilities, such as the teaching building and student apartments of Chongqing Tourism Vocational College, New Town Gymnasium and Stadium, Yangtoushan Cemetery and Road maintenance Section, into the mortgage financing of the government investment and financing platform by means of asset transfer and additional transfer procedures.

In May 2013, Qianjiang District also registered three cases of 95.1 mu of state-owned construction land use rights that have been registered with mortgages and have not yet been released, together with the above-ground buildings, for the counter-guarantee of bonds issued by Chongqing Hongye Industrial (Group) Company.

In addition, Chongqing Hongye Industrial (Group) Company also raised 86.9 million yuan with the mortgage of the property certificate of the premises of the Bamao Island Hotel in 2012. after it expired in 2020, Hongye Company built a house on the land and reapplied for the property certificate of the land. and use the property certificate mortgage financing of more than 100 million yuan. The local land and housing administration department has issued two certificates of land use rights and housing property rights for the same plot (reporter's note: the city handles such warrants in the way that two certificates are jointly issued as one certificate).

Hongye's three pieces of land are related to the Bamao Island Hotel, the second phase of the standardized factory building and the Gong family compound. In 2009, the real estate property certificate of Gong's compound was used by Qianjiang City Construction Investment Group, another government investment and financing platform company under the Qianjiang district government, to raise 200 million yuan with the real estate property certificate together with other real estate mortgages, which expired in March 2017.

Local people in Qianjiang District believe that the conflict between land demand and shortage of indicators exists all over the country, such a large area of violations, violations, lack of legal support, and not sustainable.

According to the official website of Qianjiang District Government, Qianjiang District covers an area of 2402 square kilometers. At the end of 2012, the total registered population of Qianjiang District was 545100, and the urbanization rate was 42.53%. In 2011, the region achieved a GDP of 12.919 billion yuan.

Land violations have also led to contradictions and conflicts between land-lost farmers and government departments, which are still unfinished.

According to the implementation Plan of routine Supervision and rectification work in Qianjiang District in 2014, 16100 mu of agricultural land was illegally changed into construction land in Qianjiang District in 2009, but as of April 2014, the area has passed the examination and approval of farmland conversion and land expropriation. 11500 mu have been covered.

A reporter from the 21st Century Economic report learned that in early September, the discipline Inspection Commission of the region dealt with 17 people for large-scale land violations and violations of the law, but it was basically a warning, one of which was a serious warning. It is not clear whether further action will be taken.

On September 25, the 21st Century Economic report reporter learned from relevant news sources that the replacement of the land use procedures for most of the illegal and illegal land in Qianjiang District is also a measure that may be taken locally to deal with follow-up matters.
