Since the launch of the special action of "Sanxiang Protecting Agriculture", discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels in Hunan have recovered funds related to violations of discipline and law in agriculture4200 million yuan, to supervise the rectification of the law enforcement of health films, "non-agricultural" and "non-grain" map 1640,000.
In the past, there were many cases involving village cadres in the agriculture-related field, but this special action focused on the key minority, supervised the discipline inspection commissions and supervision commissions at all levels to "raise the probe by one inch", and focused on examining whether the agriculture-related functional departments and their public officials performed their duties and used their powers impartially.
For some agriculture-related companies that have received multiple subsidies in the same year, "multiple subsidies" that have received the same subsidy for several consecutive years, "exclusive subsidies" that no one has, and "stepping on the line supplements" that meet the standards, they are automatically captured and given real-time warnings through the big data analysis system.
Since the launch of the special action, Hunan has dynamically promoted the functional departments to investigate the loopholes in the supervision and supervision system in the field of agriculture, has formulated and issued 604 disciplinary inspection and supervision proposals, and urged relevant departments to improve 1,317 various systems, and firmly tighten the "cage" of the system

Cadres of the Chenxi County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Huaihua City supervised the rural revitalization construction project on the spot, and explored the clues of the "Sanxiang Agricultural Protection" problem (taken on August 23, 2023) Photo by Yin Yufang.
Under the warm winter sun, in Fengshou Village, Meiqiao Town, Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, the construction of more than 700 acres of high-standard farmland projects is hot. Workers operate excavators to level the land, promote "small fields into large fields", and improve the scale efficiency of land.
Taking advantage of the good weather, we must speed up the progress and prepare for the spring grain planting. Chen Cunxin, a large grain grower, said.
What makes Chen Cunxin full of confidence is that "the project approval is more efficient and transparent, and the implementation of funds is more guaranteed." This stems from a special campaign called "Sanxiang Protecting Farmers".
Rural revitalization is related to the livelihood and happiness of the peasant masses and is an important focus of work style construction. In February 2023, the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection issued the "Opinions on Carrying out Special Rectification of Unhealthy Trends and Corruption in the Field of Rural Revitalization", requiring discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels to adhere to a strict tone and take strict measures to vigorously rectify unhealthy trends and corruption in the field of rural revitalization.
In the same month, Hunan, a major agricultural province, deployed and carried out the special action of "Sanxiang Protecting Agriculture" (hereinafter referred to as the "Special Action"), focusing on outstanding problems in the subsidy funds for benefiting farmers, the management of rural collectives "three capitals", the "non-agricultural" of cultivated land and the "non-grain" of basic farmland, and the approval and allocation of funds for agriculture-related projects.
Since the launch of the special operation, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels in Hunan have recovered funds related to violations of discipline and law in agriculture4200 million yuan, to supervise the rectification of the law enforcement of health films, "non-agricultural" and "non-grain" map 1640,000. The rural political ecology has improved, the sense of gain of the peasant masses has been enhanced, and the vitality of rural revitalization has surged.
The probe is raised by an inch.
The Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs once managed chaotic funds for agriculture-related projects, and there were those who favored relatives and friends, and those who 'plucked the feathers of geese'. Huang Lifeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, said. In March 2023, Yuan Yanwen, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, was dismissed. After investigation, Yuan Yanwen "relied on agriculture to eat agriculture", used his position to facilitate the allocation of agriculture-related awards and subsidies, the declaration of agricultural pilot projects, etc., and used his authority to obtain a total of more than 23.56 million yuan of national agriculture-related subsidies for relatives, friends and close bosses. This is one of the typical cases investigated and dealt with during the special operation, eradicating a "tumor" in the field of "agriculture, agriculture and agriculture" in Hunan.
Since the launch of the special operation, Hunan has strengthened the guidance of opening the way for case handling and establishing authority through cases, and continued to release strict signals and create a strict situation.
On the one hand, the special operation not only investigates major and important cases, but also investigates "small and micro corruption"; Investigate both corruption and dereliction of duty; However, check the key minority, but also check the key areas.
The problems of work style, responsibility, and corruption in some fields related to agriculture are manifested at the grassroots level and have their roots at the top. Yin Chao, director of the third supervision and inspection office of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, said that the cases in the field of agriculture originally involved more village cadres, and this special action focused on the key minority, and supervised the discipline inspection commissions and supervision commissions at all levels to "raise the probe by one inch", focusing on whether the agriculture-related functional departments and their public officials performed their duties and used their powers impartially.
engaged in power rent-seeking, personal corruption, Qin Fangjin, former director of the Hengyang Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau, Hu Hui, former director of the Yueyang Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources, and other key positions were investigated one after another; The ineffective performance of supervision responsibilities has led to frequent chaos such as "running and leaking" of agriculture-related funds and "loose and soft deficiency" of cultivated land protection, and a number of public officials of agriculture-related functional departments have been seriously dealt with for dereliction of duty; Fraudulently embezzling collective funds, withholding subsidies for benefiting farmers, and contracting construction projects in violation of regulations, many cases of "corruption around the masses" have been investigated and dealt with, and a number of village cadres and discipline violators in township and town station offices have been held accountable.
Yin Chao introduced that since the launch of the special operation, 3,462 cases have been filed by Hunan discipline inspection and supervision organs, 3,891 people have been given party discipline and government sanctions, and 269 people have been transferred to justice.
On the other hand, in the process of investigating the case, the Hunan system thoroughly investigated the corruption problems in the field of rural revitalization, which were not only prohibited and variants were escalated, but also "uprooted" from point to point.
For example, in terms of subsidy funds for benefiting farmers, there are still loopholes in "one **" benefiting the people and farmers. Some localities are still issuing subsidy funds through township accounts and even township and village cadres, and the risks of integrity are prominent; In some places, subsidies were fraudulently obtained by inflating the planting area, and the situation of interception and misappropriation still existed; Individual functional departments review the basic data of subsidy issuance, and the control is a mere formality; There are also public officials who are guarding and stealing, and colluding with internal and external officials.
Individual cadres take advantage of the rule-making power to favor relatives and friends, engage in 'tailor-made' when formulating policy implementation plans, and direct the award and subsidy funds into their own 'pockets';Relying on the convenience of knowing the policy information in advance, arrange relatives and friends to preemptively register the company to compete for awards and subsidies, and compete with the people for benefits. The relevant person in charge of the Zhuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said.
Supervision goes one layer deeper.
Common problems in the field of subsidy funds benefiting farmers: the problem of arbitrage and misappropriation, the problem of not enjoying the subsidy policy, and ......
The main supervision and inspection methods: check the policy, check the procedure, check the contract, check the insider...... in the subsidy declaration process
This is what the reporter saw in the "Operation Manual for Centralized Supervision and Random Inspection of the "Sanxiang Agricultural Protection" Special Action.
The work in the field of agriculture is highly professional, with many content points, wide coverage, and long lines, how to promote the special action to continue to be in-depth and practical, and avoid "a gust of wind" in supervision? Hunan optimizes ways and means, innovates the use of technical means, urges agriculture-related functional departments to improve the "management economy", guards the "responsibility field", and gradually fills the loopholes in the agriculture-related supervision and supervision system.
Sink with a "problem set" and supervise with a "toolbox" in hand. Clues to problems are the source and basis for discipline inspection and supervision organs to carry out supervision, inspection, and investigation work. According to reports, the 40-page "Sanxiang Agricultural Protection Special Action Centralized Supervision and Spot Check Operation Manual" brings together the opinions of cadres and experts from discipline inspection, finance, natural resources, agriculture and rural areas and other departments, classifies and lists common problems of violations of laws and regulations in various fields and supervision and inspection methods in different forms, and helps inspection cadres to "grasp accurately" when they sink to the grassroots level, and handle clues "without panic".
The premise of the accurate and scientific formulation of the guidebook is to systematically sort out the unhealthy trends and corruption in the field of rural revitalization. After the deployment of the special action, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision is mainly responsible for leading the research project of "Outstanding Performance of Unhealthy Trends and Corruption in the Field of Rural Revitalization and Governance Countermeasures".
At the same time, the discipline inspection and supervision organs supervised the counties and municipalities to organize special teams to conduct a 10-day 'on-site dissection of sparrow-style' self-examination and self-correction in 365 villages. Yin Chao said that through the "microscope" on-site inspection and supervision, the province found 5,335 problems, and vigorously promoted the in-depth development of special actions.
Explore a new model of digital supervision of "people are doing, cloud is computing". Digital empowerment helps to upgrade the "toolbox" of supervision and extend the scope of supervision. In the special action, Hunan strengthened the use of "big data" to assist in case handling, and established relevant data models by aggregating regulatory data of functional departments to accurately improve supervision efficiency.
At the provincial level, we will continue to promote the promotion and application of the "Sanxiang e-supervision" Internet supervision information platform at the rural grassroots level, so that the masses can participate in the supervision of various agriculture-related work with "fingers and screens".
At the prefectural and municipal levels, we will intensify our efforts to address the problems of large amounts of subsidy funds for farmers, many risks of clean government, and difficult supervision. For example, Zhuzhou City has established a "six supplements" big data monitoring model, which automatically captures and gives real-time early warning through the big data analysis system for some agriculture-related companies that have received multiple subsidies in the same year, "consecutive years of compensation" that have received the same subsidy for several consecutive years, "exclusive subsidies" that no one has, and "stepping on the line to make up" that meets the standards.
Traditional supervision and restraint measures often have 'tool failures' in the face of diversified and gang-based new corruption-related methods. The relevant person in charge of the Zhuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that it will continue to improve the efficiency of big data supervision, accurately control the flow of funds and project tables, and establish an early warning, prevention and control mechanism for corruption risks in the field of agriculture.
The Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has made great efforts to integrate inspection supervision, audit supervision, and mass supervision, and gather the joint force of supervision. In the two rounds of routine inspections of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, it focused on the key supervision of "Sanxiang Agricultural Protection", and put forward inspection suggestions to the relevant provincial departments and bureaus to strengthen departmental supervision and deepen system governance; The Hunan Provincial Audit Office has included special actions in the annual key work of audit supervision, and has transferred 20 clues; Guide the masses to report corruption at the "doorstep", and continue to improve the quality and efficiency of the handling of petitions and reports by the masses in the field of agriculture.
Take a look down".
In early January 2024, at the construction site of a group of irrigation channels in Baima Village, Huangyan Management Office, Hecheng District, Huaihua City, the reporter saw that workers were busy pouring concrete, and Ma Lianggui, the quality supervisor of the District Water Conservancy Bureau, and the project supervision personnel were squatting at the site to supervise the quality of the project.
This is a local rural revitalization infrastructure project, with more than 3,000 meters of irrigation canals built, which will benefit more than 400 acres of paddy fields. "Drawing lessons from the previous chaos in the construction of small farmland water conservancy projects, we have explored the implementation of project management and project quality supervision personnel, so as to eliminate the problem of 'being both athletes and referees', and protect our own 'safety' while ensuring the quality of the project. Ma Lianggui said.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has raised the supervision probe from the field by one inch, and promoted the administrative supervision of functional departments to 'look down more'", Li Rui, deputy director of the Third Supervision and Inspection Office of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, said that since the launch of the special action, Hunan has dynamically promoted the functional departments to investigate the loopholes in the supervision and supervision system in the field of agriculture, and has formulated and issued 604 proposals for discipline inspection and supervision, and urged the relevant departments to improve 1,317 various systems and firmly tighten the "cage" of the system.
Compacting the regulatory responsibilities of functional departments is the focus of the 2024 'Sanxiang Agricultural Protection' special action. Huang Lifeng said that for the recurring and common problems of relevant units and departments, we should urge to make up for shortcomings, plug loopholes, strengths and weaknesses, and promote the establishment of rules and regulations.
Under the supervision of the special action working group, the Hunan Provincial Department of Finance, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Department of Natural Resources took the lead, and 42 cadres from the corresponding departments of provinces, cities and counties were dispatched to form three working groups, which went to Linxiang City, Yuanjiang City, and Youxian County to carry out on-site "first-class consultations" on the supervision and rectification of the "Sanxiang Agricultural Protection" action.
Looking back this time, the working group inspected 71 villages in 23 townships and towns on the spot, and consulted more than 200 ledgers. In addition to verifying the rectification of problems in various places, this time also focused on how to strengthen the administrative supervision of functional departments, carried out research seminars, interviewed more than 100 grassroots cadres, and collected more than 80 opinions and suggestions.
At present, based on the research results, the Hunan Provincial Department of Finance and the Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs have formulated the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Administrative Supervision of the Management of Subsidy Funds for Benefiting Farmers", which clarifies the responsibilities of provincial, municipal, and county financial, agricultural and rural areas, and financial supervision and management in the links of policy formulation and interpretation, fund allocation, basic data collection, public announcement, fund distribution, and supervision and management, and builds a whole-process supervision mechanism that combines daily supervision and special supervision to ensure that financial subsidy funds are issued to the masses in a timely, full and safe manner.
For example, in the process of fund distribution, the opinions require that the provincial financial department clarify the requirements for the payment of subsidy funds and convenient withdrawals, and the county-level financial department shall establish a time-limited handling system for the payment of subsidy funds in combination with the actual situation; The agricultural and rural departments shall keep abreast of the progress of the issuance in a timely manner, and the county-level agricultural and rural departments shall be responsible for completing the data review and publicity in the sunshine approval system; The financial regulatory authorities will provide more and more convenient channels for inquiry and withdrawal to the subsidy recipients, and improve the transparency and supervision of approvals.
It is understood that Hunan has studied and formulated guiding opinions on strengthening the management of rural collectives "three capitals", the "non-agricultural" of cultivated land, and the "non-grain" of basic farmland, and formulated "construction drawings" and "task books" for the administrative supervision of functional departments.
All localities have also drawn a "hard bar" to regulate the operation of power. Loudi City has strengthened the illegal intervention of leading cadres in the rectification of rural revitalization projects, and strengthened the supervision of water conservancy and high-standard farmland construction projects as key projects. Xiangxiang City has promoted the "three capitals" of rural collectives, the distribution of subsidy funds for farmers, the "small and micro powers" and the "three disclosures" of service guidelines, so as to facilitate the participation of the masses in the supervision of village affairs.
Escort rural revitalization for a long time.
A number of interviewed cadres and experts believe that it is necessary to work for a long time to rectify unhealthy trends and corruption in the field of rural revitalization, build a long-term regulatory system in the field of agriculture, and promote the deep integration of supervision and grassroots governance.
The sense of gain and happiness of the masses is an important criterion for judging the effectiveness of the special operation. Yuan Baishun, executive director of the Center for Clean Government Research of Hunan University, said that it is necessary to strike hard at the "small and micro corruption" and chaos problems that occur around the masses, such as illegal debt borrowing at the village level, "idling" of agriculture-related funds, irregular distribution and use of funds for agriculture-related projects, balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation, and fraud in the field of high-standard farmland construction.
Li Xianjin, secretary of the Xiangxiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, suggested that efforts should be made to strengthen supervision, improve the ease of use and convenience of the Internet reporting platform, and unblock the diversified channels for the masses to participate in the supervision of agriculture-related work.
Deng Lianrong, vice president of the China Association for the Study of Integrity and Legal System, believes that it is necessary to further unite the joint force of supervision, promote the normalization of discipline and patrol linkage, gradually realize the full coverage of patrol and village, improve the mechanism of discipline and financial linkage, discipline and examination linkage, and promote the extension of supervision to the "last mile" at the grassroots level, promote the expansion of supervision to the fields of rectification of grassroots formalism, and weave a dense supervision network for agriculture-related work.
The Sanxiang Protecting Farmers Action is an important carrier for Hunan Province to carry out special rectification of unhealthy trends and corruption in the field of rural revitalization. In the next step, Hunan will continue to pay close attention to the 'money bags' of farmers, the 'family foundation' of the rural collective economy, the 'lifeline' of cultivated land protection, and the 'seal' of the approval and allocation of funds for agriculture-related projects, and strive to let farmers live a 'good life' and escort rural revitalization in the long run. Zhang Jianping, deputy secretary of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the Provincial Supervision Commission, said.
