Chapter 1835 Chicken Farm Project

In response to this, Qin Feng specifically found Lu Yi last time and asked the county discipline inspection commission to organize personnel to carry out a concentrated secret inspection of these projects in Yian to nip corruption in the bud.

Qin Feng emphasized "in secret" because he knew very well that relationships in a small place like Yian were complicated and it would be difficult to achieve results if inspections were conducted openly.

Lu Yi looked at Gong Guofei, who sat upright and began to report to Qin Feng.

"Secretary, when we were investigating the rural revitalization project, we found that one of the projects had defrauded project funds."

"Tell me the details." Qin Feng listened carefully.

"We found that the Guangming Village chicken farm in Shanghe Town had many violations of laws and regulations during our random undercover investigations of various projects in the county."

"According to the project report of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, the total investment in this chicken farm is more than 5 million yuan, and it raises more than 50,000 chickens. According to the support standards, the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau approved 500,000 yuan of project support funds."

"In addition, this chicken farm has also established a chicken cooperative. The owner of the chicken farm, Yang Yulin, invited more than 20 villagers from nearby to invest in the cooperative. This chicken cooperative has applied for 200,000 yuan of special support funds for cooperatives in our county."

"In addition, this chicken farming project has also applied for the county's poverty alleviation project. For this purpose, the county finance has allocated 500,000 yuan of poverty alleviation project funds to this chicken farm." Gong Guofei reported one by one.

Hearing this, Qin Feng frowned. Needless to say, this chicken farm repeatedly received funds for several projects, so there must be something fishy.

"In other words, using three different names, the same chicken farm successively took 1.2 million yuan in support subsidies from the county, while the entire chicken farm only invested more than 5 million yuan, right?" Qin Feng asked as he lit a cigarette.

"The most serious problem lies precisely here. We have secretly visited this chicken farm. The so-called chicken farm is the abandoned village primary school. The number of chickens raised there is definitely not more than 50,000 as claimed. The total number is no more than 500."

"According to the information we learned from nearby villagers, Yang Yulin rented this abandoned village primary school from the village for one or two thousand yuan a year to raise chickens," Gong Guofei continued.

"That is to say, the chicken farm they declared to have an investment of 8 million yuan actually costs only 2,000 yuan a year to rent the village primary school, right?" Qin Feng frowned even tighter.

"Yes, when we went to see it, there was only an old man in his seventies who was responsible for raising the chickens in this chicken farm." Gong Guofei nodded.

"According to our further undercover investigation and visits, the so-called chicken cooperative established by more than 20 households and the chicken farm is a scam. Yang Yulin gave each of the more than 20 households 500 yuan and asked them to sign to establish the so-called cooperative. He did nothing else."

"In other words, this so-called cooperative is used to defraud county subsidies and has no practical use. Is that what you mean?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Yes."

“What about the poverty alleviation project?”

"The poverty alleviation project was reported by Shanghe Town and led by the county poverty alleviation office. We checked this year's poverty alleviation projects, and this chicken farm was included in this year's important projects." Gong Guofei continued to report.

At this point, Qin Feng, who had worked his way up from the grassroots level, had a basic understanding of what was going on.

"Since you have come to report to me, it means that you have a general understanding of the specific situation. Tell me, which units and individuals are involved in this?" Qin Feng asked.

"We are not sure who is involved. We can only know after a formal investigation. However, based on the information we have learned so far, Shanghe Town, the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, and the County Poverty Alleviation Office are definitely involved," said Gong Guofei.

Qin Feng nodded but did not express his opinion immediately.

At this time, Lu Yi said to Gong Guofei: "Comrade Guofei, you go out first. I will report the next work to the secretary."

Gong Guofei nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Qin Feng, and walked out.

"Who is involved in this case?" Qin Feng asked Lu Yi after Gong Guofei left.

Lu Yi called Gong Guofei away at this time. There must be some hidden story in this case. He could only report to Qin Feng alone and Gong Guofei could not be present.

"According to the information we have learned so far, the mayor of Shanghe Town, Wang Yi, is involved. The most crucial thing is... the three times this project received support funds and subsidies were all approved by Comrade Wu Shanquan himself." Lu Yi said.

"Wu Shanquan?" Qin Feng frowned again.

Wu Shanquan was previously the Party Secretary of Yangjiaohu Town. Because of his outstanding performance in Yangjiaohu Town and the camellia oil base, Qin Feng highly recognized his work ability. Later, in last year's personnel adjustment, Qin Feng personally recommended and promoted him to deputy county magistrate, in charge of agriculture, rural revitalization, poverty alleviation and other work. The purpose was to let his leadership be responsible for the work of agricultural industrialization.

After becoming the deputy county magistrate, Wu Shanquan did not disappoint Qin Feng. Currently, the agricultural industrialization in Yian County is booming, and Wu Shanquan has made an indispensable contribution to this.
