Chapter 22: Secretary Meng announced the good news
Secretary Meng strode into the office building. The principal and school leaders, as well as a large group of people who followed the secretary, followed.
"I'm here today to come and see, and now Nanping County's economy is taking off. In the future, Nanping County will get better and better, and as the most senior school in Nanping County, it is necessary to keep up with the situation in this regard. Keep up with the pace of reform and opening up. However, there is a lot of difference between the education level here and the education level in developed areas, in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu, every town has a high school, and the high school at the town level is better than our best school in the county, both in hardware and software. We need to truly recognize our own shortcomings before we can improve them. Catch up. I took a look at the environment and hardware of the campus, which is very insufficient, the teaching building was built in the 80s of the last century. It has been 28 years now, not to mention the old, and it has long been unable to keep up with the use of the school. I didn't see the 9 classes in the junior high school, and the repeat class (that is, the class that failed the college entrance examination and took the next college entrance examination for one year), and the two classes are still in the tiled house built in the 60s of the last century. There were also two students from the liberal arts class in the third year of high school who were taking classes in that laboratory building. You say, this is our predicament, and we have to face it, and we can't just deal with it year after year. Tell me if I'm right. What Secretary Meng said was deafening and heart-wrenching, although he did not scold the leaders of the Education Bureau, school leaders, and leaders of relevant departments sitting underground in person. But Secretary Meng told the truth, it made the people present blush, and it was not that they didn't know the situation of Nanping High School, they just pretended not to know. What's the solution, the finances are all in deficit, and even the wages in the past few years were in vain, where is the money to build the county high school. It's good to be able to tinker with it. Nanping High School has indeed reached the point where it has to be renovated. In addition to the two newly built basketball courts, there is also a three-story laboratory building that was completed the year before last, which is considered a new thing. Everything else looks shabby and old-fashioned. The whole school staff live in those tiled houses. The girls in the school's dormitory still live in a wooden building during the Republic of China. The county didn't allocate funds to repair anything. It seems that the county education bureau and the county finance can squeeze toothpaste, what role can it play. Didn't you see the bare stones coming out of the main road of Nanping High School, and there were potholes? It's not that you here are unaware of this.
"Of course, the party committee and the government also bear a great responsibility, and they don't care enough about Nanping high schools, and they don't care enough about all Nanping senior high schools. So I'll do a review first. Secretary Meng lowered his head and bowed to everyone present.
The principal was stunned, the relevant leaders of the Education Bureau were stunned, and even the black iron head was confused. Even if the county party committee doesn't care enough about education, it's not his fault, the finances are not strong, what can be used to care about education. Although Xiang came to invest in the past two years, the economy and finances have become a little more comfortable. However, the economy of Nanping as a whole is backward, and the foundation of Nanping County as a whole is too thin. There are too many places that need to spend money, people Xiang has come to invest, don't you need to do a good job in the infrastructure of the industrial park, only by doing a good job can you attract more investors to invest, without a good hardware facilities, where can you retain investors. Therefore, in the past two years, most of the finance has been smashed into the infrastructure construction of the economic and industrial parks. It takes money to build a large waterworks, it takes money to build a large substation that has already erected circuits, and roads in economic and industrial parks need to be built. Every good transportation, even the construction materials needed for the construction sites of those industrial parks can't be pulled in.
"Secretary, it's not your fault. The black iron head reacted first.
"The secretary can't. The principal reacted. Suddenly came out of the west today. Like these officials, they don't love face, they are very arrogant. Even if you are wrong, you will hold on, and you will not admit that you are wrong. Secretary Meng's admitting mistakes, and admitting mistakes in public, is a rare and high-spirited work style. Dare to admit mistakes, which is also an attitude.
Secretary Meng waved his hand, and everyone below fell silent.
"As the secretary of the county party committee, I have an unshirkable responsibility, this responsibility will be borne by me, the past is over, I communicated with the leaders and Xiang's senior management last night, hehe, here I announce a good news: in the next two years, Xiang's (Longguo) donated 3 billion yuan for the construction of 15 high schools, and Xiang's charity fund donated 3 billion yuan for the construction of 5 Xiang's hope high schools, 20 junior high schools, and 50 hope primary schools. Secretary Meng said excitedly. This was said by Leader Xiang Ming himself. This is also a political achievement for Secretary Meng. This money falls on Secretary Meng's head, and he is responsible for the control of this money, that is, it must be supervised in place. Definitely put it in place. It is also a strong support for Secretary Meng to gain a firm foothold. It is also an economic support for Secretary Meng. As long as he has money in his hands, a large number of departments and officials lean towards his side. changed the helplessness of the local faction that was dominant in the past, and the secretary's rights were hollowed out. Many times administrative orders do not yet have the money to come to reality. If you use administrative power, people will come to a perfunctory procrastination, dereliction of duty, kicking leather balls and playing table tennis, and it will be over. It's a big deal, catch a dead ghost and come out on an errand.
Now 6 billion education sponsorship, this is a big cake. In addition to the benefit of the education department, the local government of the school which was built benefited. There are also a lot of jobs. Urban Construction, Land, Planning Bureau, Finance Bureau, Land and Resources Bureau, these are also beneficiaries. 6 billion implicates most of the government departments. Is the transportation bureau benefited, that is for sure, the construction of several construction sites in the past two years has not given rise to a lot of car owners who buy engineering vehicles to engage in earthwork transportation, hehe, that is to apply for a certificate. Do the traffic police benefit, but also benefit, new car licenses, and these new car violations, can't you be fined, there were not many cars before, who to fine. Even water conservancy also benefits, don't those sand farms just come with money, and the more sand farms are opened, the more management fees the water conservancy bureau will charge. Don't talk about the Bureau of Land and Resources, to carry out large-scale construction, you need earth and stone, these are the resources of the state, and that is to levy fees.
The economy driven by 6 billion is more than 10 billion. At least a few hundred construction vehicles should be added. Every car is put into use, that is the tax rolling, whether to get a license on the road, whether to deal with the traffic bureau, whether to burn oil. If you want to repair it, then can the tax of the shop that specializes in maintenance be increased?
"Papapa" applause rang out, the news was too shocking, everyone was glad that they didn't go to County Magistrate Zheng today, and they didn't perfunctory Secretary Meng to find a reason not to follow, of course, the people who came with Secretary Meng were not reused in County Magistrate Zheng, or neutral, or duplicitous. Everyone applauded vigorously, cheered for Secretary Meng, and was happy for themselves, not to mention it, they also knew that the reason why Secretary Meng was able to announce it here, not on other occasions, meant that Secretary Meng had regarded these people as trustworthy people. I can participate in the distribution of this super big cake in the future. Although most of the bureau leaders present here are not the first leaders. Except for a limited number of Secretary Meng's cronies, most of Secretary Meng's faction are not harmed, or even third-in-command.
"Hehe, I was also surprised when I heard the leader say this news last night, it is really a big deal, 60 billion to build a school, so much to improve the backward situation of education in our county. Of the 30 high schools, we only have 8 high schools here, and there is only one high school in three or even five townships. There are four high schools in the county. Eight high schools are responsible for all the tasks of high school education in the whole county. Just because there are few high schools, each high school has reached the limit of maximum enrollment. Most of the American classes are large classes of more than 80 people, which cannot meet the burden of enrollment. There are not so many classrooms and teachers, which has led to the use of scores to suppress enrollment places. Shut out a lot of students who want to study. Let them lose the hope of continuing to learn, and lose the hope of changing their destiny through knowledge. It's heartbreaking. I hope that everyone here will cherish this opportunity, seize the opportunity, and strive to raise the education level of our county to a higher level within two years, so that more students can go to high school. Hehe, if all the schools are done this time, there will be a new school in every township. There was already one, and it was also going to build a new school building. It means that one aspect, the other aspect is to vigorously improve the housing problem of the teaching staff, this time it was solved together, and the leaders did not want to see our hard-working teachers still living in tiled houses. ”
