Chapter 52: The fundamental education of the country is the most important (2)

When Liu An heard Wu Hao’s question, he immediately continued, "County Magistrate Wu! Listen to me and finish my words. When I was talking to the two teachers, Teacher Geng said, "Although we are treated unfairly, we cannot transfer our resentment towards the superior department to the children. The children are innocent and they should not pay for the selfish behavior of adults. Therefore, even if the county leaders do not come here, we will persist in overcoming all difficulties so that these children can read books and master some skills, so that they can contribute to their hometown in the future."

"Later, after Teacher Geng finished speaking, Teacher Han continued to say that the reason why they chose the profession of teachers was because teachers were a sacred and noble profession. The reason why our Zhoudun was so poor was that our education level was lower than other cities, the people's consciousness was old, and they favored boys over girls. In our school, there were only a few students, except for some girls, and we didn't care much at the beginning, but it was not until one day when we found that during class, there were always a few girls in the village who were listening to the class outside the window of the classroom, so we asked the classmates. We learned that because many of the people here had feudal ideas, they believed that girls were all money-lossing goods and helped others raise them. In addition, family difficulties, they didn't care about their daughter's reading at all. There were many natural villages under our Huangyan Village.

The girl helped do housework at home because of this concept. When I learned about this situation, I discussed with Teacher Geng. We spent more than a month to travel to various nearby villages, and did ideological work for farmers from door to door. After promising to exempt them from education fees, the school had the number of people today. However, there were still many girls in nearby villages without books. The two of us teachers did not need any compensation from the county. If the county really wanted to compensate us, then let the students here have an environment where to study and have books to study. In addition, the county can arrange township cadres to do ideological work for farmers from door to door to door, and let them send their children to school. The country's education is the most important thing!" Liu An said, "I looked admiring in my face, looking at Wu Hao who was in deep thought beside me.

Liu An is right. The behavior of these two teachers is indeed worthy of their admiration. They are both humans, but what he saw from these two teachers was a true selfless spirit. At this time, Wu Hao was also very ashamed. He felt ashamed of his previous suspicion of the actions of the two teachers. After considering it for a long time, he said: "Lao Liu! Since it is the requirement put forward by Teacher Han and others, we must do it no matter what. Whether this place meets the requirements for building a hydropower station needs to be implemented immediately. If possible, we must immediately consider the relocation of villagers here and the site selection of the new Huangyan Primary School site. However, the students here must first arrange to study in the central primary school in the village. As for those parents who arranged township cadres to do their ideological work from house to house and tell them what nine years of compulsory education is, it is important to let those parents understand that it is a criminal act for them not to allow their children to study."

Wu Hao paused at this point and continued: "I was afraid that this matter would expand its impact and would cause trouble to Zhoudun's future work, but now it seems that my county magistrate's concept is not as good as the two teachers. This matter must be taken as the top priority in the second half of this year. In the afternoon, I would like to use this elementary school example to establish a sense for all the cadres in Zhoudun County to carry out a census in the county, so that all our cadres can go deep into the grassroots level, increase publicity efforts, and convey the concept of compulsory education to every household, and ensure that there will be no out-of-school children in our county at this time next year."

When Liu An heard Wu Hao's words, he looked admirable on his face and asked: "Mr. Wu! I definitely support you in your work plan, but once this work is launched, our county's finance will face very serious challenges at that time, so we must first consider this issue. Our finances of a primary school can definitely support it. However, there are so many townships in the county, and the money spent by the finance will not be so much. So before you execute this plan, you must first consider this matter and then plan the details, otherwise we may be wasted all our efforts on the way."

Wu Hao heard this and said, "Old Liu! Of course, I have to consider this issue first. Although there are currently 400 million yuan in the financial books of our county, this money is simply a small amount of money for Zhoudun County, which we use for every place. The finances in the first year will definitely be tense. However, once our tourism projects come, the hydropower station projects can generate electricity and generate benefits. I think the situation will be much better in the future. So in order to squeeze out this financial burden, I plan to introduce some projects in the scenic area to the outside world.

The bank bids, which not only can we reduce the investment costs of scenic spots and staff costs, but also get a contract fund, and also bring us a small amount of tax benefits, killing multiple goals. Tomorrow morning, we will also ask Deputy County Mayor Wang to discuss and see what projects can be used to bid for external bids, and at the same time calculate how much money can be squeezed out. In short, I still say the same thing: Although our county is poor, it cannot be poor for education. Although life is hard now, it cannot be miserable for our children!"

When Liu An heard Wu Hao's words, he nodded firmly and replied: "County Magistrate Wu! Don't worry! I will definitely do my best to give you a satisfactory answer."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xidong took the top leaders of various departments of Zhoudun County to Huangyan Village with nearly 10,000 dumplings. When Wu Hao saw the group of cadres on the mountain road in the distance, he took his entourage to the entrance of the village to wait for the cadres. When these people arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Hao simply greeted Li Xidong for a while, looking at the tired and panting and confused cadres in front of him, and said, "I know you are very confused now. This is just a barren mountain village. Why did I recruit you here to hold an on-site office meeting? Now I don't want to say anything. I will take you to visit two places first, and then we will start today's meeting."

As he said that, Wu Hao led the cadres and groups of Zhoudun County to walk towards the school. When they were still hundreds of meters away from the school, Wu Hao stopped, pointed at the school in the distance, and asked the officials behind him: "Do you know where the dirt house in front is?"

Dozens of cadres looked at the dirt house in the distance with confusion when they heard Wu Hao's words. No one who knew dared to stand up. Those who didn't know asked Wu Hao about the dirt house in the distance for no reason were discussed with each other, but no one dared to stand up and answer Wu Hao's question.

Seeing that no one answered, Wu Hao did not directly take the officials to the primary school, but led them to the ancestral hall and asked again: "You don't know where the earthen house just now is, so who do you know what the house is in front of you? Don't tell me that no one knows."

Dozens of cadres looked at the ancestral hall in front of them, and Minister Lin of the Organization Department first replied: "Mr. Wu! This is a ancestral hall."

Wu Hao nodded with satisfaction when he heard this and replied, "Yes! This is a ancestral hall, but now it is not a ancestral hall, okay! I will take you in and see what the scene is inside. As Wu Hao led everyone into the ancestral hall, when the cadres saw the pigeon nests made of wooden boards and the clothes of children scrambled everywhere, they talked about it again below, but no one dared to raise their doubts at this time, because those cadres who already know Wu Hao's personality know that they may become the first to speak out at this time.

After Wu Hao took these cadres to visit the ancestral hall, he walked towards the school. At the same time, he repeatedly told him to only take a look when he got there later, but he was not allowed to make a sound. Then a group of people walked to the primary school with doubts. When he came back, he was full of shock because when Wu Hao asked the first question, except for some insiders, almost no one would have thought that the dirt house that looked like it was about to collapse would be a school.

Back in front of the ancestral hall, in the meeting venue that Chen Xin temporarily set up, Wu Hao looked at the cadres below with incredible expressions and said with a serious face: "I believe everyone knows where the small earthen house was just now. Before I came here, even I couldn't believe that there was such a so-called school in our Zhoudun. The scenery here is very beautiful, just like Tao Yuanming, a writer from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recorded in "The Peach Blossom Land" that a fisherman left a boat to enter a cave and found a peach land. The residents here were farming, women weaving, and adults and children participated in labor. There was no tax or corvee. The relationship between people was very simple and friendly, and there was a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere everywhere.

It is not an exaggeration to call the world completely isolated, or it is a paradise here, but it is because of such a paradise that has become a forgotten place. The paradise described by the writer is a place where peach blossoms bloom, which almost entrusted all the dreams of Chinese people, without the hustle and bustle of the city and no troubles of the world. But what about this place? If I had not come here in person today, I really could not imagine that in such a beautiful place, there would be a primary school that shamed me and even all the officials in Zhoudun County. At this time, I was very ashamed, really ashamed. Although I had not been to Zhoudun for a long time, I could not tolerate such a school in Zhoudun under my rule."

Wu Hao's words made no one of the officials at the scene dared to breathe. Although they had not really appreciated Wu Hao's anger, they understood that Wu Hao's anger was terrible. At the meeting, Wu Hao announced the removal of the two directors of the Education Bureau and let Lu Chunhua temporarily serve as acting director. She also asked her to conduct a major inspection of all the civilian-transformed teachers in the county, and correct the mistakes immediately. If the teachers who used evil ways to occupy other teachers' quotas, if they were willing to teach in mountainous poor areas, they would be fined. If they were unwilling to clear them all.

In addition to leaving the classroom team, according to Wu Hao, there are many normal graduates facing difficulties in finding a job. There are many people who are willing to do it. In addition, at the meeting, Wu Hao also announced a warning to Qian Hangyu and transferred him to the Party History Office to serve as director. He also reiterated his original intention of appointing Liu An as deputy county magistrate at that time, and warned those officials not to think that Zhang Lixian's case was not investigated, and that the wound would be healed and forgot to hurt. As long as it is under his control, if you want to be an official, show me real skills, otherwise you will be ready to give me the virtuous at any time.

After the relevant personnel appointments were completed, Wu Hao specifically criticized the inaction of several removed officials, and asked cadres across the county to take this as a warning to order townships that have taken away education funds from the county finance but diverted them for other purposes. No matter how this method is used, even if they sell their money, they must correct their mistakes in the near future. Otherwise, after the prescribed time, they will directly remove the relevant personnel from their posts once discovered.

Then Wu Hao commended the selfless spirit of the two teachers, and asked the Bureau to correct the teacher qualifications of the two teachers, and instructed the county finance bureau on the spot to temporarily advance the funds to reimburse the wages owed by the two teachers, and also gave the two teachers a reward of 30,000 yuan each. This time, the reporter from Zhoudun County TV station visited the deeds of the two teachers, and called on all county cadres to learn the selfless dedication of the two teachers, proposed to carry out a large-scale compulsory education census in the county, and ordered all townships and streets to go deep into every household to understand whether there are still school-age children who are already at the age but have not yet gone to school. If there is any, patiently interpret the compulsory education law formulated by the state to those people, so that they can understand that it is illegal to not allow their children to study, and ensure that there is no out of school in the county.

When the meeting ended, the primary school was over. At the same time, a temporary banquet hall was set up in front of the ancestral hall. The chefs who followed the team not only cooked the dumplings they made and put them on the table, but also prepared several other things that the children liked to eat side dishes and large bottles of coke. After everything was ready, Wu Hao took all the cadres to accompany these innocent and lively students to eat dumplings.

The officials present looked at the students who were eating with relish, looked at their contented appearance, and looked at the innocent smile on their faces. Perhaps it was because under the influence of those students, an atmosphere that had never been seen before spreading unknowingly in the simple banquet venue, making many officials present unconsciously let go of their past disguise and truly integrate into this atmosphere that they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Until many years later, some officials recalled the scene at that time when they retired, and unconsciously showed a smile on their faces.

When all the officials of Zhoudun left this small mountain village with flashlights in their hands, reporters from Zhoudun County TV edited the news reports they accompanied today overnight, deleted some sensitive topics, and sent them to Minning City TV overnight at 12 o'clock in the evening. Although they knew that Minning City TV had watched this news again, they sent the news to the provincial TV station while typing it. As a result, this behavior shocked the Southeast Province on the next night. At the same time, the new figures in Fujian-Ningxia politics instantly became household names in Southeast Province. Everyone knew that there was a county town called Zhoudun in Southeast Province, and knew that there was a young county magistrate in Zhoudun County, and the scene of the young county magistrate shed tears before elementary school was deeply rooted in the hearts of these people.
