Chapter 923: Funding Gap (Ask for Subscription!) ）

After the car stopped at the school gate, Xu Yinglong took the lead and walked down, and then Nangong Pengfei and others got out of the car behind Xu Yinglong.

After seeing Xu Yinglong, Han Fengyi smiled, and then strode up to meet him.

"I thought you would have to come at least in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to come so early!" Han Fengyi said with a smile.

Xu Yinglong smiled faintly, and then said: "I arrived in Qingcheng last night, and Director Nangong set off from Kyoto at five o'clock in the morning this morning and arrived in Qingcheng at eight o'clock. ”

Han Fengyi also knew Nangong Pengfei, nodded lightly and said, "Director Nangong has worked hard all the way!" ”

"Fortunately, it's a highway all the way, and it's not too hard!" Nangong Pengfei said with a smile.

"Everyone, please take a look at the hardware facilities of the school first, otherwise it will be difficult for the children to visit after school in a while!" Han Fengyi said loudly.

Under the leadership of Han Fengyi and others, the group entered the school.

Walking into the school, the most eye-catching thing is the school's duty room, only to see a security guard standing straight at the gate of the duty room, and there are three security guards on duty at the same time in the duty room.

Seeing Xu Yinglong staring at the duty room, Han Fengyi immediately said: "Since our school has concentrated all the primary school students in the county, and it is also a pilot unit for Huaxia education reform, we have put a lot of effort into security. There are now 38 security guards at the school, all of whom are hired veterans. ”

Xu Yinglong naturally knew that the so-called veterans were just a disguise, how could a veteran be so strict with himself after becoming a security guard, let alone stand guard like he was in the army when he was a security guard. Clear-eyed people knew at a glance that these security guards were all composed of active soldiers, and Xu Yinglong even saw the Huaxia Army's standard rifle from the duty room.

However, Xu Yinglong did not debunk it, he knew that this must be a requirement from above. Otherwise, Han Fengyi would not have done this.

Walking through the school's security room, Xu Yinglong and his party came to an independent three-story building.

Looking from a distance, I saw four huge characters hanging on the small building - the student cafeteria.

Xu Yinglong pointed to the small building and asked, "Are all the three floors a student cafeteria?" ”

"No, the first and second floors are for students. The third floor is the faculty cafeteria, and students are generally not allowed to go up! Han Fengyi explained.

"Does it make a difference?" Xu Yinglong continued to ask.

"Of course, the difference is that the meals in the student cafeteria are free, and the children don't need money to go in and eat, and they can eat whatever they want. However, due to the limited funds allocated above, the children's daily dishes are limited, basically two meats and two vegetables plus one soup. ”

"Do teachers need to pay extra for food when they eat?" Xu Yinglong asked rhetorically.

"Well, according to the rules of the county, no unit is allowed to open a small canteen inside. Therefore, faculty and staff need to pay for meals. Because of this, we specially opened up the third floor to build a staff restaurant! Han Fengyi explained.

"Do teachers and students eat the same?" Xu Yinglong asked in a deep voice.

"The meals of the employees are bought at their own expense, so the dishes are relatively rich!"

Hearing this, Xu Yinglong's brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, but continued to ask: "What is the quality of the children's meals, and can they meet the needs of daily exercise?" ”

Xu Yinglong knew that cultivation was very energy-consuming, and if the quality of the food was not up to par, it would have a great impact on the effect of the children's cultivation.

Han Fengyi replied in a deep voice: "As the principal of the school. I am responsible to say that the meals in the school cafeteria are at best enough to feed the children. But it is still far from eating well, and it cannot meet the needs of children's daily activities! ”

"Didn't you react to the above?" Xu Yinglong asked in a deep voice.

"I responded, but the county replied that the funds were insufficient, and it could only allocate so much for the time being!" Han Fengyi said.

Xu Yinglong looked at Nangong Pengfei and said: "Nangong, I think you know better than anyone else the importance of education reform, and the above promised to fully support it at that time." What do you think about this? ”

Nangong Pengfei said in a deep voice: "I'll deal with this matter immediately, and I'll deal with it on the spot!" ”

After speaking, Nangong Pengfei said to the people behind him: "May I ask that person in charge of the education system in Qinghe County, please come out and speak!" ”

Soon, two middle-aged people hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Good leader, I am Wang Lin, the deputy county magistrate in charge of education in Qinghe County, and this is Xue Zilong, director of the county education bureau!" If you have anything to say, just ask us directly! ”

Nangong Pengfei said: "You also heard Principal Han's words just now. How do you explain that? ”

Director Xue immediately said: "Leader, we have explained this matter to Principal Han many times, it's not that we don't allocate money to the school, but the Education Bureau really has no money. If there is still money in the bureau, how can we not allocate money to them, we have no choice! ”

At this time, the deputy county magistrate Wang, who was the first to speak, said: "Leader, Principal Han doesn't know much about this matter, as the deputy county magistrate in charge of education, I will tell you the details!" ”

Nangong Pengfei nodded and said, "Well, you say!" ”

Deputy county magistrate Wang said loudly: "Regarding the investment in education, each county has a fixed fund, this part of the money is distributed from the provincial education department to the municipal education bureau and then to the county level by level, and every year at the end of the year, when the hungry time has to review where the money is spent, so there is a set of strict procedures for education allocation, and it is impossible for anyone or department in the county to embezzle this part of the money." ”

"This year, the county's education allocation has been allocated at the beginning of the year, and it is enough according to the budget. However, two months ago, Qinghe County was suddenly listed as a pilot county for education reform, merging the county's original dozen primary and secondary schools into two. This merger of schools is a big burden for the county, because it takes money to lay off workers, it takes money to renovate schools, and even the county needs money to receive the leaders above, so the money allocated from above is long gone. ”

Nangong Pengfei asked in a deep voice: "If the Education Bureau runs out of money, can't you squeeze some out of your county, haven't you heard that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about children?" ”

Deputy County Magistrate Wang smiled bitterly: "We have heard this, but there is no money in the county." Qinghe County is neither a large grain-producing county nor a strong industrial county, but a poverty-stricken county in the whole country. In the first half of this year, the county could not even pay the salaries of civil servants, and Secretary Zhang had to borrow money from the bank, so how could he have money to allocate money to the school. ”

"How is it possible that the county can't pay civil servants' salaries?" Xu Yinglong asked with a frown.

Deputy County Magistrate Wang smiled bitterly again: "Maybe you don't believe it, but this is the truth." The pillar industry of Qinghe County is minerals, but due to the impact of falling iron ore prices, the mining industry is generally under-employed. According to the county's statistics this year, only one-third of the county's mining enterprises are operating normally, and the remaining two-thirds have all stopped. As a result, the county's fiscal revenue has fallen sharply, resulting in civil servants not being able to pay their salaries. ”

"Then you didn't apply for funding from above?" Nangong Pengfei asked again.

"I applied, how could I not have applied, but the situation above is basically the same."

Speaking of this, Deputy County Magistrate Wang seemed to have mustered up courage, and suddenly said in a changed voice: "In fact, we have allocated a lot of funds to Principal Han, and we also know that the above attaches great importance to education reform, after all, during this time, there are leaders who come up to inspect every day, and we are all in the eyes, no matter how stupid we are, we will not withhold the funds of the comprehensive primary school, but the funding gap that Principal Han needs is too big, and we really can't afford to supply it!" ”

Seeing Deputy County Magistrate Wang's helpless look, Xu Yinglong could see that they didn't seem to be lying, and immediately asked, "Is there a big funding gap?" ”

"Well, according to the budget reported by Principal Han and them, the annual funding of the comprehensive primary school needs at least 200 million, but the annual education fund in our county is only more than 20 million, and although the city allocated 30 million to us before this, it still can't meet the needs of Principal Han and them!" Deputy County Magistrate Wang sighed and said.

Hearing this, Xu Yinglong was also stunned, he didn't expect that the school's funding gap would be so big, and he immediately turned his attention to Han Fengyi! (To be continued.) )
