The desert prince's off-road vehicle was speeding on the winding mountain road, and Liao Fanmin, who was in the passenger seat, fell into deep thought.

The words of Su Chenxi, director of the Provincial Planning Commission, are still hovering in his mind, as a state-level impoverished county and city, Linfeng City, in the construction of the Shuangpu Nine Project, belongs to one of the key counties and cities for acceptance, the so-called Shuangpu Jiu, is a high-level, high-quality universal nine-year compulsory education, this project began in the mid-nineties, divided into three steps, as a poor county and city in the central region, Linfeng City, was included in the "two basics" plan.

The central leaders know that the conditions for rural education are weak, and once a central leader, after inspecting a primary school in a certain village, said with emotion that compulsory education needs to be vigorously supported, especially in rural primary and secondary schools, and the teaching conditions need to be improved.

The conditions of rural primary and secondary schools are difficult, Liao Fanmin has an impression, not to mention the rest, just say that the primary school in his hometown Sujiabao Village, in his impression, is a few dilapidated houses, hot in summer, cold in winter, classroom windows are covered with film to keep out the cold, the desks in the classroom are miserable, missing arms and legs is a normal situation, many students do not have desks, can only bring tables, chairs and benches from home to class.

It's all because of poverty, and local governments simply can't afford to invest in education.

The total budget of Linfeng Shuangpu Jiu is 97 million yuan, of which 40 million yuan is invested in the higher-level projects, and the rest needs to be raised by the local government itself.

The deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health once reported on the situation of Shuangpujiu in Linfeng City, which did not attract Liao Fanmin's attention, and at that time he was still familiar with the situation in Linfeng City, and the financial accounts at the end of the year consumed too much of his energy.

Su Chenxi's reminder was well-intentioned, there are individual counties and cities in Fandu, because Shuangpu Jiu failed to pass the acceptance, suffered criticism from superiors, and spent a lot of energy before barely passing.

The inspection and acceptance of Shuangpu Jiu in Linfeng City is from mid-May to mid-June, that is, there are still about five months to six months.

"First go to Guanyun Township to see a primary school and a middle school, and when I come back, go to Shuangji Town and find two primary and secondary schools not far from the city. ”

"Mayor Liao, do you need to inform the others? ”

"No, I'll go check on the situation first. ”

The driver drove in the direction of Guanyun Township, the four-wheel drive desert prince, not afraid of ice and snow roads, and more stable.

Shuangji Town is the township where the urban area is located, belongs to the township with the best conditions in Linfeng City, and Guanyun Township is the township with the worst conditions.

Liao Fanmin's heart was bottomless, especially when he knew that Linfeng City needed to raise more than 50 million yuan of funds to complete the Shuangpujiu project, he sighed in his heart, the wages and benefits of the cadres and workers of Linfeng City were not guaranteed, and what kind of self-raising funds were talked about, and when the mayor's office meeting was held a year ago to study the arrears of major projects, no one talked about the project problem of Shuangpujiu.

It is impossible for Linfeng City to successfully complete the project of Shuangpu Jiu, which is Liao Fanmin's feeling and understanding.

On New Year's Day, there was a snow in Linfeng City, and the next time, the weather was not bad, and there was no heavy snow in Guanyun Township, but it had entered the wax moon, and the climate changed rapidly, and no one could say whether the climate in Guanyun Township would change suddenly, but fortunately, Liao Fanmin's off-road vehicle performed very well.

Two and a half hours, the off-road vehicle turned a corner, and the market town of Guanyun Township appeared in front of him, Liao Fanmin patted the driver's shoulder and expressed his approval, and the driver said that the performance of the car was too good.

"Huang Shouzhi, I think it's better to go to your hometown and see the situation of Huolong Village Primary School. ”

"Mayor Liao, don't go and see it, the conditions of the Huolong Village Primary School are too poor. ”

"Why, can't you go and see if the conditions are poor? ”

The driver did not stop at the market town, and the off-road vehicle headed in the direction of Huolong Village.

Forty-five minutes later, the off-road vehicle stopped in front of the village of Huolong Village.

Liao Fanmin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was less than half past ten.

After getting out of the car, looking at the situation in front of him, Liao Fanmin almost didn't take a step.

Two rows of lonely houses, the houses are still covered with thatch, with the naked eye, you can see six houses, which should be classrooms, the windows are dilapidated, and there are two houses that no longer have windows, only two holes in the wall, like two empty eyes, laughing at Liao Fanmin.

There wasn't even a film covering on the windows.

A worn porcelain basin was tied to the wire hanging from the beams, which was probably the bell for the start of class.

A cold wind blew, Liao Fanmin couldn't help but shrink his body, wearing a down jacket, he felt the cold, what was the feeling of the teachers and students in the classroom.

When he walked over slowly, Liao Fanmin turned his head to look at the desert prince's off-road vehicle, and his face was slightly red.

"Huang Shouzhi, this is the small village of Huolong Village. ”

"Yes, I went to elementary school here, but the classrooms were slightly better at that time. ”

Liao Fanmin turned his head and looked at Zhang Dongtao.

"Lao Zhang, the year before last, the implementation of the Shuangpu Nine Project, why is there still such a situation. ”

Liao Fanmin asked politely, after all, Zhang Dongtao once followed the old mayor.

"Secretary Liao, Shuangpu Jiu in Linfeng City, the funds are insufficient, mainly biased towards the primary and secondary schools in the market town, the city finance can't come up with the money, and the village primary school and some junior high schools can't take care of it. ”

This means that the city's Shuangpu Jiu excludes all the village schools. ”

"That's right. ”

"Who made this decision. ”

"At that time, the city convened a special meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and made this decision, I remember that Secretary Sun served as the mayor at that time, because Linfeng City belongs to the national poor counties and cities, and the funds are insufficient, and the Yidu Municipal Government has written a report to the Yidu Municipal Government on the funding problem of Shuangpujiu, but the Yidu Municipal Government believes that according to the regulations of the central government, the funding gap of Shuangpujiu is all raised by the local government to solve, and the Yidu Municipal Government does not have this funding. ”

"Well, let me ask you another question, have all the 40 million yuan of project funds allocated by the central government been used for the Shuangpu 9 project, you have to tell the truth. ”

"I don't know this very well, I was still working in the Agricultural Bureau at the time, but I heard the old mayor mention the problem of Shuangpu Jiu funding once, saying that such funds dare to be embezzled, and some people are too bold. ”

Liao Fanmin shook his head and pointed to the classroom of the village elementary school.

"Those leaders who embezzled the funds of Shuangpu Jiu should come here to take a look, let them hold on to the classroom for a day in the cold winter and the moon, and they will understand what they have done. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Fanmin strode towards the direction of the classroom.

Looking in from the window, the students are in class.

The light in the classroom is not very good, the white lime on the wall is almost invisible, it should be completely detached, replaced by a yellow earth color, the blackboard is fixed with two wooden sticks, leaning against the wall, the white color makes people wonder if this is a blackboard, there is no lectern.

Not to mention the desks, some of which have a few bricks underneath, others that are barely fixed with wooden sticks, and a complete desk is barely visible.

The teacher in the class found Liao Fanmin and the others, and the students all turned their heads to look in the direction of the window.

Liao Fanmin saw the classroom of first-graders.

The student's face was red, he looked chubby, and his hands were red and swollen.

Needless to say, these are all long chilblains, and when Liao Fanmin was young, he often had chilblains on his ears.

Liao Fanmin smiled at the teacher in front of him and turned his head to leave.

Back in the car, Zhang Dongtao spoke cautiously.

"Mayor Liao, let's go to which school next. ”

"Isn't it said that the primary and secondary schools in the market town have implemented the Shuangpu Nine project, then go to the middle schools and primary schools in the market town of Guanyun Township to see how these schools are doing. ”

On the way back from the off-road vehicle, I met a white jeep from Guanyun Township.

Liu Huancheng and Lu Biao got out of the jeep and shook hands with Liao Fanmin with a smile.

Liao Fanmin didn't have much expression on his face, and watched the two of them speak.

"Secretary Liu, Township Chief Lu, I'm here today to see the situation of the Shuangpu Nine Project, which of you will report. ”

Liu Huancheng looked at Lu Biao and spoke with some hesitation.

"Mayor Liao, the Shuangpu Nine Project was implemented last year, and the relevant situation is available in the township, or we will return to the township, let's collect materials. ”

"There is no need to report in such detail, just say how much money was spent on the Shuangpu 9 project and what is the source of the money. ”

Liu Huancheng found that Liao Fanmin's words were not very polite, and hurriedly made an effort to recall.

Liao Fanmin didn't urge, waiting for Liu Huancheng to speak.

"I remembered that the Shuangpu Nine Project in Guanyun Township, the municipal finance seems to have allocated one million yuan, mainly for the two schools of Guanyun Junior High School and Guanyun Primary School in the market town, and the project was implemented last summer... ”

"Got it, did all the 1 million go to two schools? ”

"This... ”

"If there is anything to say, I will not be held accountable. ”

"The township has appropriated some of it, mainly because it is too difficult. ”

"Say the specific numbers. ”

"I really can't remember this, but the finance office was able to check the accounts. ”

"I don't have to look at those accounts, but I will also do the accounts, and I will go to the two schools in the market town to see it in a while, so I can naturally know the actual situation, Secretary Liu, you were still the head of the township last year, presumably such a large sum of money, it is impossible to forget it." ”

Liu Huancheng's face was a little pale, and he wanted to speak, but he still didn't open his mouth.

"Since you are embarrassed to say, then let me ask, you nodded and said, is there 200,000 yuan for the project funds implemented in the two schools in the market town? ”

"Yes, that's the number, Mayor Liao, you really know things like a god. ”

Liao Fanmin wanted to scold people, but he couldn't help it, the state allocated 40 million yuan for the Shuangpu Nine Project, and the 12 townships and towns in Linfeng City, the most remote Guanyun Township, allocated 1 million funds, so it was inferred that the rest of the townships and towns could not have allocated more than 1 million yuan, and the city withheld more than 70 percent of the funds, and Guanyun Township was even more bold and withheld 80 percent of the funds.

Liao Fanmin had vaguely guessed that the Shuangpu Nine project in Linfeng City had not been implemented at all.
