Calculate the 'clear account' and keep the 'money bag' safe

2026-04-02

With the grand picture of the "15th Five Year Plan" unfolding slowly, China's agricultural and rural development has reached a new historical starting point of carrying forward the past, opening up the future, and making comprehensive efforts. The Outline of the 15th Five Year Plan includes a special section on "Accelerating the Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Areas and Solidly Promoting the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas". Rural collective economic contracts are important carriers for regulating collective asset transactions and safeguarding farmers' rights and interests. They are the "key link" for the implementation of rural revitalization strategies at the grassroots level, and also the collective "money bag" that must be well managed. In recent years, discipline inspection commissions and supervisory committees in various regions have focused on the responsibility of "re supervision of supervision", and have promoted the standardized management of rural collective economic contracts through consolidating responsibilities, precise supervision, and systematic governance, effectively preventing the loss of collective assets and grassroots "micro corruption". Digging deep into the root cause - clarifying rights and responsibilities, identifying the crux of the problem, and gathering efforts to overcome the "middle obstruction". We have integrated disciplinary inspection and supervision, agriculture and rural areas, finance, auditing and other supervisory forces, covering 186 administrative villages in 17 towns (streets), consolidating rectification efforts, and have recovered over a thousand acres of land and more than one million yuan in funds. ”At the special meeting on rural collective "three capital" management held in Liaozhong District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province in early 2026, relevant officials from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Liaozhong District shared a set of data. Behind the data lies the persistent efforts of Liaozhong District to uphold the "problem contract" of rural collective economy and fully protect the "family foundation" of rural revitalization. The rural collective economic contract covers multiple fields such as land leasing, asset leasing, project construction, and fund lending, and is closely related to the safety of rural collective assets and the vital interests of villagers. However, due to the involvement of multiple parties, strong professionalism, and insufficient supervision penetration in the process of contract signing and performance, it is prone to problems such as procedural violations, content irregularities, and regulatory deficiencies, becoming a hidden corner for rent-seeking and benefit transmission. According to relevant officials from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Liaozhong District, in practice, rural collective economic contracts are prone to several problems: some contracts have a period far exceeding the legal limit, collective resources are locked in for a long time, and it is impossible to revitalize and increase income according to market conditions; Some are clearly unfair, with rental prices significantly lower than market fair prices, and collective benefits severely undervalued; Some programs are missing, and village officials ignore democratic decision-making procedures, alienating collective asset disposal rights into individual rights. Like a 'chronic disease' that erodes the collective 'money bag' of the village. ”The relevant officials of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Zhangye City, Gansu Province described this type of ultra long term and ultra-low price contract as follows. He stated that this type of 'problematic contract' carries a series of risks and hidden dangers. If left unchecked, it will inevitably erode collective wealth and harm the interests of farmers. In recent years, many disciplinary committees and supervisory commissions have focused on rectifying prominent issues in the management of rural collective "three capital", directly pointing out the deep-rooted problems in the field of rural collective economic contracts. With effective supervision and systematic governance, they have shown their sword to non-standard and unfair "problem contracts". The 'problematic contract' involves a wide range of aspects, strong policy implications, and complex historical causes, requiring the construction of a collaborative, efficient, and responsible work system at all levels. In the past, contract issues were also discovered during inspections, but after transferring the problem to the agricultural and rural departments, the relevant townships only focused on the matter at hand during rectification, making it difficult to address deep-seated issues, "said the responsible comrade of the Party and Government Conduct Supervision Office of Zhangye Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. To break this dilemma, starting from 2024, Zhangye City will comprehensively consolidate its responsibilities, establish a four level linkage mechanism of disciplinary inspection and supervision commission supervision, department leadership, county and district responsibility, and township implementation, clarify the rights and responsibilities of each level, and form a work pattern with clear responsibilities and efficient collaboration. The city focuses on two types of contracts: those that violate procedures and those that are clearly unfair. For contracts that violate procedures, the focus is on investigating situations such as non-standard implementation of democratic decision-making procedures and "yin-yang contracts"; For contracts that are clearly unfair, the focus is on examining whether the lease term exceeds 30 years and whether the transaction price is 30% lower than the assessed price. On this basis, 65 inspection teams were established throughout the city, with townships as grid units, to conduct a "carpet style" investigation of collective economic contracts in 836 villages. A total of 5745 rural collective economic contracts were reviewed, and a detailed "problem contract" ledger was simultaneously established. "List style" management and cancellation style rectification were implemented, and differentiated disposal was carried out in accordance with the principles of seeking truth from facts, democratic consultation, and compliance with laws and regulations. The Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Commission of Liaozhong District, Shenyang City, are closely monitoring key issues such as low price asset contracting, and adopting a "self inspection and self correction+cross inspection+key verification" model to comprehensively investigate and identify prominent problems such as long-term and ultra-low prices. At the same time, strict investigations were carried out on behaviors such as embezzlement and misappropriation of collective "three funds", 67 clues were investigated and dealt with, 36 people were filed, 3 people were transferred to judicial organs, 25 people were punished for party discipline and government affairs, and 28 typical cases were reported, forming a strong deterrent. Classification and implementation of policies - putting in a lot of "embroidery skills" to clarify the "problem contracts" with a large volume, wide coverage, and complex causes of "historical legacy accounts". Discipline inspection and supervision agencies in various regions innovate mechanisms and implement classified policies to solve problems with "embroidery skills". In the view of Sun Huaihai, Director of the Eighth Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, one of the most important aspects in the rectification work is to sort out the "historical legacy accounts". Some long-standing 'problematic contracts' have long time spans, complex situations, and involve multiple stakeholders. Some contracts are signed with incomplete laws and regulations, some involve previous or even former village cadres, and some contractors have already invested a large amount of funds to form a fait accompli. Clearing regulations faces multiple considerations such as legal application and balance of interests, requiring a high level of policy proficiency and mass work ability, "Sun Huaihai told reporters. Faced with these difficulties, various regions adhere to the principle of "one contract, one policy" and prudently rectify them. The Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Commission of Beiliu City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region shall classify and dispose of various "problematic contracts" identified during the investigation. If the terms are obviously unfair and harm the collective interests, they shall organize renegotiation or introduce third-party evaluation and revision; If the negotiation fails or involves major legal disputes, guide the resolution through judicial channels. Weishan County, Shandong Province, has been promoting the resolution of non-standard contracts identified through rectification of clauses, recovery of outstanding debts, and re contracting. For clues of village cadres signing contracts in violation of regulations and encroaching on collective interests, the county discipline inspection commission and supervisory commission will intervene and handle them promptly. Meiyuan Village, Yinjiang Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, has signed two 22 year Yangmei Mountain contracting contracts with the lessee. Due to incomplete terms and conditions at that time, the disposal of attachments after the expiration of the contract was not clear enough, resulting in two contracts approaching expiration. Yinjiang Town and Meiyuan Village negotiated with the lessee multiple times, but the lessee refused to cooperate in renewing the contract or transferring assets, leading to a deadlock between the two parties. Taking the clean-up and rectification action of rural collective economic contracts carried out in Haishu District as an opportunity, in accordance with the disposal requirements of "clear subject, legal procedures, complete elements, standardized content, orderly execution, and strict supervision", the Discipline Inspection Commission of Yinjiang Town, together with functional departments such as the Town Agricultural Office, organized multiple discussions and negotiations, ultimately promoting the consensus between village collectives and contractors, and properly resolving issues such as contract expiration and non renewal, as well as ownership of attachments. In practice, the difficulty in supervising the "acquaintance society" is another common problem. On the one hand, village officials and contractors may have "family ties" and "face cannot be erased" during contract negotiations. On the other hand, in some areas, a large number of young and middle-aged rural laborers go out, and the left behind villagers are mostly elderly and children. Their democratic supervision awareness is relatively weak, and they cannot effectively play their supervisory role. To this end, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province innovatively carried out cross inspection of township (street) discipline inspection commissions, breaking down the original administrative barriers. The 24 townships (streets) in the whole district were divided into 6 supervision areas, and 3-4 discipline (work) commission cadres were selected from each area to form a cross inspection team, led by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Fuyang District. At the same time, focusing on the high incidence and frequent occurrence of "problematic contracts", a "List of Cross checking Tasks for Rural Collective" Three Capitals "has been formed, focusing on the compliance of contract signing procedures, fair rental pricing, and the authenticity of performance. The key is to investigate whether there are any violations such as lack of democratic decision-making and public disclosure in asset leasing, land transfer and other types of contracts. For the problem clues found during cross inspection, they will be uniformly summarized to the Party and Government Conduct Supervision Office of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, and managed through "classification numbering, hanging supervision, and deadline rectification". Benefitting the People - Source Prevention and Control Revitalizing Family Assets, Drawing a New Picture of Rural Revitalization and Rectifying the "Problem Contract" of Rural Collective Economy. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the "family assets" can be maintained and the benefits can be improved, so that the development achievements of rural collective economy can truly benefit the vast number of villagers. In Wuning County, Jiangxi Province, after the clearance of "problematic contracts", the increased income has been prioritized for people's livelihood security and public services. Taking the contract rectification of Laohutou Bay in Dutou Village, Xinning Town, Wuning County as an example, the original contract price of the bay was only 5000 yuan per year. The Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Commission of Wuning County took the initiative to supervise and urge functional departments to strictly follow the legal procedures to re regulate the contracting process and promote thorough rectification of the problem. Through open bidding, the contracted price for the Kuwan project has been raised to 105000 yuan per year, and the village collective's annual income has increased by 100000 yuan. Ling Zixi, a member of the Dutou Village Committee, told reporters that the village collective has earmarked this income increase fund for two livelihood projects. One is to pay medical insurance fees on behalf of the elderly aged 60 and above in the whole village, effectively reducing the medical burden of the elderly group and consolidating the foundation of 'providing for the elderly' in people's livelihood. The other is to establish a special fund for scholarship and assistance, and provide subsidies and rewards to students in the village who are both morally and academically excellent, "said Ling Zixi. Rectification is not the end point. We must establish a long-term mechanism for source prevention and control, process control, and full process supervision to prevent the recurrence of "problematic contracts". In response to the institutional loopholes and regulatory shortcomings exposed during the rectification process, various regions promptly promote the improvement of relevant mechanisms. Establish a solid system and tighten the collective "three capital" management fence. The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stationed in the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shall effectively fulfill its supervisory responsibilities, and promote the targeted efforts of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in key areas such as asset management, contract management, and digital platform construction. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the province has formulated and issued a platform data docking standard, and officially issued the "Notice on Further Standardizing the Management of Rural Collective Economic Contracts" in March. It has also launched standardized contract templates such as rural land management right leasing contracts and rural collective economic organization shareholding contracts. With the improvement of systems, standardized processes, and unified templates as the starting point, it comprehensively strengthens the regulatory defense line of rural collective "three capital" and effectively regulates the entire process of rural collective economic contract management. The Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Commission of Jianli City, Hubei Province, have promoted the development of six management systems, including the "Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Rural Collective Asset Resource Contracting (Leasing) Contracts in Jianli City". They have sorted out a list of 27 small and micro powers in five aspects, including the management of village collective "three assets", and formulated an operational flowchart to standardize the exercise of power from the source. Digital empowerment, weaving a dense and intelligent regulatory "Skynet". The Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervisory Commission of Zhangye City urge relevant functional departments to fully utilize information technology to guide all counties, districts, and townships to input all 5234 economic contracts that are still valid into the "Gansu Province Rural Collective Asset Supervision and Management Platform", achieving full process online management and dynamic tracking of contract signing, performance, modification, termination, and other links. At the same time, relying on the "Supervision One Point" platform of small and micro power, key information, performance, and income distribution of collective economic contracts are made public, making it convenient for the public to query and supervise at any time. The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Songxi County, Fujian Province, is promoting the establishment of an "electronic contract+performance tracking" mechanism. During the online listing and trading of village collective assets, the contract terms will be simultaneously made public to eliminate black box operations through information transparency
