Chapter 136: Don't Be Good and Small (Thanks to "The Loveliest Doudou Her Master" Ten Thousand Rewards)
Of course, there's no need to be a charitable foundation or anything like that, and that would be a lot of trouble.
What Wang Ye wants to do is very simple, that is, if he has spare energy, improve the educational conditions in his hometown, and spend some money to build some teaching buildings and the like.
You can't rush to do good deeds, start from your side first, start small. Didn't the sage just say that you don't take the good as the small?
In this way, it doesn't cost much, and it is really doing good deeds, a century-old plan, and education first.
……
Central Plains Province is a central region, a large agricultural province, not close to the sea or river, and there are no mineral resources. Therefore, most areas are relatively poor, especially in Wang Ye's hometown of Chen County.
Chen County Middle School, where Wang Ye studied in high school, is still a provincial key, but it doesn't even have a library, and it was donated by Wang Ye when he returned for the New Year. The library is still under construction, and Wang Ye has given a budget of up to five million.
Of course, not all of the five million were used for construction, and the library was more important for books. It may only cost two or three million to build a building, and the rest of the money will be used to buy books.
This library, once completed, will be the landmark building of Chen County Middle School.
Even the only high school in the county is poor like this, and the following primary and junior high schools can be imagined, and many villages have no schools. In fact, many years ago, there was a primary school in every village, but now that the economy has developed, there are fewer and fewer primary schools.
There is usually an elementary school in the town, and all the children in the town have to walk several miles to the town if they want to study. Of course, some villages are close to each other and have a large number of people, so they may also raise funds to build a primary school.
It doesn't cost too much money to build a school, and even if Chen County is poor, it can afford to build some humble schools. The problem is that the teacher can't afford it......
In the past, there were private teachers, and the salary was very low, and it was not difficult to raise them in the county. But now the young people who have some ideas, who are willing to take the salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan, there are basically no private teachers left, and all of them have run away.
The salaries of public teachers are higher because the state has a rigid salary scale. Some senior teachers in Chen County High School have a higher monthly basic salary than Mayor Chen!
And ordinary primary and junior high school public teachers, the salary is not low, Chen County's financial income is like that, and it can't be supported at all!
Now that the end of the year is approaching, Director Liu of the Education Bureau has begun to pester Mayor Chen every day, asking for next year's education budget. There is so much money in the county every year, and if the budget of this bureau is a little more, then the budget of other bureaus will be a little less.
So at the end of the year, the directors of each bureau have to squat at the city government every day, just to grind a little more budget. If the budget approved by the city government is less, the work of the bureau will not be able to be carried out next year, and the director will be pointed at behind his back and scolded as a waste.
However, the Education Bureau is really difficult, and Director Liu has no choice, and now the salaries of teachers in the county are only half paid, and the rest can only be IOUs, and the bureau's budget will be reissued when the budget is sufficient.
Teachers can't get paid anymore, do you want to be in the mood to teach well?
So, in three days and two ends, teachers from a certain town came to the county again, and Director Liu's office came to ask for wages.
Sometimes I think about it, Director Liu wants to get rid of it, what is there to do about this broken director, and he still has oil and water, not even water!
Of course, this is just angry talk.
On this day, Director Liu came to grind Mayor Chen again.
"Mayor Chen, you really want to allocate a little more money to our Education Bureau next year, many teachers can't solve the pot at home. Director Liu cried with a sad face.
"Lao Liu, do you think I don't know, I also want to give you more funds, but you don't know the situation in the county! Just a little money, everything needs money, we don't even have a serious enterprise in the county, the county finance depends on the little retention money paid by the peasants, so how much money can we have!" Mayor Chen is also helpless, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
"Didn't Wang Ye build two factories, I went to see them two days ago, and they have already started normal operation, and there are quite a lot of workers, all of them are thousands! Such a large factory has paid a lot of taxes this year. Director Liu looked at Mayor Chen expectantly.
"Hehe, those two factories are really good, and many young people in the county have come back from big cities to work in the factories. Don't you feel that during this period of time, the streets of the county are a lot more lively, there are more people!"
Speaking of the two cotton processing factories and cotton cloth factories of Huashang International, Mayor Chen's face finally showed a smile. It can be regarded as his proudest job this year, and he cheekily went to Wang Ye during the Chinese New Year and deducted a piece of fat from the rich man.
If the county wants to get rich, what to rely on, agriculture will definitely not work, because Chen County is traditional agriculture, not growing cash crops, and there is no processing plant, how can it be possible to get rich by relying on agricultural products alone.
Therefore, it has to rely on industry, but it is located inland, and there is no complete industrial chain. Not to mention the industrial chain, there is not even a decent factory, and there is no industrial environment at all.
Wang Ye agreed to build a factory this time, also because cotton is abundant here, which is related to his company.
These two factories have just begun to be put into use, although the scale is not small, but if you want to get taxes, you have to wait, at least this year, don't expect it.
After listening to Mayor Chen's words, Director Liu was also mixed, happy that the future may be better, and worried that this year will still be difficult.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, Director Liu saw no hope, but he was unwilling to return in vain, so he sat there with a bitter face and drank tea in a sullen voice.
At this moment, Mayor Chen's mobile phone rang. Mayor Chen saw that it was a call from Wang Ye, so he quickly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Haha, Wang Dong, hello, hello. ”
"Hello Mayor Chen, is it convenient to speak now?" Wang Ye's voice came from the phone.
"Convenient! Of course. Mayor Chen said busily, now Wang Ye is the god of wealth in Chen County, even if he is busy with something now, he must stop first, and it is more important to talk to Wang Ye on the phone.
"That's right, I also grew up in Chen County, and now, with a little achievement, I wonder if I want to give back to my hometown. Wang Ye said slowly.
When Mayor Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, this is a great thing, a rich man like Wang Ye said that he wanted to give back to his hometown, which meant that he wanted to donate money and materials, and the number would definitely not be less.
He hurriedly answered: "Wang Dong is really a high wind and bright festival! If you succeed and don't forget your hometown, I will first thank Wang Dong for the millions of fathers and villagers in the county! If there is anything that needs the cooperation of the government, I promise to fully cooperate!"
"Hehe, Mayor Chen's words are serious. That's what I think, I want to change everyone's life, and I can't rush it. The most basic thing is to do education, if children can study more and be admitted to university, then they will have a chance in the future. Therefore, I want to discuss with Mayor Chen to see if there is anything I need help with in basic education, whether it is necessary to build a school or something. ”
Mayor Chen's heart moved, didn't Director Liu just cry that the teacher's salary could not be paid, and now the God of Wealth has sent it to the door.
He beckoned to Director Liu, motioned for him to come over, and then turned his head to the phone and said, "Wang Dong talked about this, it just so happened that Director Liu of the Education Bureau was also there, and the education in Chen County is really difficult, there are many difficulties, why don't I let Director Liu tell you in detail?"
"Okay, you can ask Director Liu to answer the phone. Wang Ye said happily.
Director Liu stood next to him and understood what was going on, Mayor Chen asked him to answer the phone, didn't he just let him cry to Wang Ye about poverty, if Wang Ye agreed to help, would the difficulties in the bureau still matter? What problems could not be solved?
He hurriedly took the phone and said enthusiastically: "Hello Wang Dong, I'm Teacher Liu." ”
Calling himself Teacher Liu, this is to appear closer, but in fact, he is not Wang Ye's teacher.
Therefore, Director Liu described the difficulties of grassroots education in the county to Wang Ye in detail, which is worthy of being engaged in education, and his eloquence is very good.
Wang Ye has been away from his hometown for many years, and when he was studying, there were quite a lot of rural primary schools. After listening to Director Liu's description, Wang Ye couldn't help but be moved, he really didn't expect that the current grassroots education is so difficult, it seems that he made the right call this time.
After a deep sigh, Wang Ye asked: "Then Director Liu means that it is more important to stabilize teachers than to build schools?"
"That's right, no matter how beautifully the school is built, it's useless to teach without a teacher. ”
Education, of course, teachers are the core, no matter how beautiful a school is, if there are no good teachers, then the quality of teaching will not be high. That's really a golden jade, and it's ruined in it.
This is a problem, but Wang Ye can't pay teachers directly, this is the responsibility of the government, and he can't overstep his authority.
No matter how much money he has, it is taboo to pay teachers directly, which is not suitable.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ye said: "Director Liu, I have an idea, you see if it will work." The teacher's salary must be paid by the county, but the county's finances are relatively difficult, and it cannot be paid. I donated a sum of money to the county, which was specially used to subsidize teachers and solve the difficulties of teachers' lives. ”
Director Liu slapped his thigh and said repeatedly: "Of course it's good! No matter what name you use, as long as you can solve the difficulties of the teachers, it will be a good thing, absolutely no problem!"
Of course, since Wang Ye plans to pay the money, he will not be stingy.
He discussed with Director Liu and Mayor Chen on the phone, and decided to provide a comprehensive living allowance to the teachers of primary and junior high schools in various townships and towns in the county, and the schools in the county would be exempted, because the conditions were relatively much better, and there was no need for Wang Ye subsidy.
