Chang'an, the former Provincial Assembly Building of Córdoba, is now the location of the Central Government Office of the Han Kingdom.

In front of the wide central square, a group of young men dressed in dark black cadet uniforms sat in danger.

"Your Highness, the students and the officials participating in the ceremony have all arrived." On the marble steps opposite the central square, Liu Pu reported in a low voice.

"We can get started, first send the appointment certificate of the new officer, and finally I will say a few words to the trainees."

Li Mingyuan sat in the center of the stage opposite the students and said with a smile. ……

"Chen Zhaonan, Zhao Xueduan, Li Guotao......"

"To ......"

When the students heard their names, they stood up one by one with solemn expressions, and received the certificate of appointment from the official who presided over the ceremony, with a look of excitement that could not be concealed on their faces.

More than half of the trainees who attended the ceremony were graduates of higher education institutions, while the remaining trainees won the opportunity to work in various branches of the central government through open elections.

After the establishment and improvement of the local education system at all levels, the system of appointing and selecting officials tends to be formalized and professionalized, and the appointment of officials in various administrative departments directly under the central government needs to go through two procedures: primary screening and professional skill assessment of officials, and then be handed over to the head of the department in charge of the selection and appointment of officials for examination and approval, and then he can become a central government official with a bright future.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 361 grassroots officials in this batch of departments directly under the central government, including 197 students who graduated from the National University of South China (Xinjing University before the reorganization), Imperial College of Commerce, and National Medical University, and more than 10 of them have excellent performance and good training potential."

Towards the end of the process of issuing the certificate of appointment, Sun Bin brought a list of outstanding graduates of colleges and universities from the Ministry of Education and handed it to Li Mingyuan.

"Yes, there are some good seedlings."

Li Mingyuan looked at the list and said with a smile, "The country's strength has expanded, and the territory under the government's rule has expanded to 3.4 million square kilometers. Now it is different, the government invests money in the development of education, and students of intermediate technical colleges and universities who graduate every year can serve as grassroots officials, and the requirements for selecting officials must also be stricter. ”

"In accordance with His Royal Highness's instructions, the qualifications for the selection of officials at the county and prefecture levels have been raised to those with a degree of intermediate professional college or above, and the appointment of grass-roots officials at the township, town, and village levels is mainly composed of retired officers, and it is necessary to have basic writing skills and experience in troop management."

"The township and county administrative regions are the foundation of the state's administrative strength, and the selection of grassroots officials cannot lower the requirements."

After the integration of Chang'an University (formerly the University of Córdoba), the Central University of Science and Technology, the National University of South China (formerly Xinjing University), Songjiang University (formerly the University of Buenos Aires), and the National Medical University, each school should add relevant professional disciplines according to the actual situation, and cultivate various types of talents urgently needed by the country. ”

"Your Highness, Dr. Manist, Dr. Jedrik and Mr. Estrom have been complaining about the lack of manpower, and there have been three graduating students from the five local colleges and universities this year, and except for about a quarter of the first two students, the remaining half have gone to the Royal Academy and various military production plants, and the remaining few graduates have also entered the government department."

Sun Bin observed Li Mingyuan's expression from the side, and continued, "Before the merger and reorganization of colleges and universities, there were only 60 graduates of the first class of Xinjing University, 52 graduates of the Central University of Science and Technology, and many students in the National Medical University who were originally Chinese medicine practitioners, and the situation was a little better, with 107 people, but the graduates of the three colleges and universities combined were only more than 200 people, and there were more than 20 important factories such as the Royal Research Institute, Xinjing Shipyard, Iron and Steel Group, and Military Production Plant, and their core technical personnel were mainly foreigners. The first batch of students from Shinkyo University and Central University of Science and Technology have not yet graduated, and the heads of more than 20 factories there have allocated suitable technical engineering students through the Ministry of Education.

Your Highness, there is a lack of high-tech teachers in several local colleges and universities, and the Ministry of Education also has a lot of difficulties in the face of many state-owned factories and departments directly under the government that apply for the allocation of graduates. ”

"The government's annual financial expenditure is so much, which subordinate department has no difficulty."

Li Mingyuan took his eyes away from the group of young students, and said directly, "Okay, don't use it to go around the bend, how much is the funding gap in your Ministry of Finance?" How much money did the presidents of the five colleges and universities ask you for? Say it all together. ”

"Chang'an University was reorganized on the basis of the University of Córdoba, and there were 87 Argentine teachers in the school who were not able to teach at the new college, and there were 21 white Argentine teachers who were willing to stay and could take on teaching tasks, less than one-fifth of the original number of teachers at the University of Córdoba.

Teachers of various disciplines in Chang'an University need to be transferred from other institutions, and more than two-thirds of the teaching equipment needs to be repurchased, and their colleges have applied for the largest amount of financial funds, with 1.1 million Han Yuan, equivalent to 600,000 taels of silver. ”

"National University of South China, Central University of Science and Technology, Songjiang University, National Medical University, how much money do they need?"

"The situation at Songjiang University and Chang'an University is similar, the president of the college applied for 1 million Han won, and the other three institutions applied for a total of 2.4 million Han won."

"Five institutions of higher learning applied for funding of 4.5 million Han Yuan, and they lost what they said."

Li Mingyuan has been disturbed by the financial gap recently, and when he heard Sun Bin's education subsidy, a wave of anger ignited in his heart on the spot.

"Tell them that the presidents of several colleges don't have 4.5 million won, at most 2 million won, if they don't get the money and haven't done things well, don't lick their faces and ask for funds, and just take the initiative to resign."

"But Your Highness, the Royal Academy and several heavy industry production enterprises need excellent technical talents, and if they don't increase their investment in education, they can't meet their talent needs!"

Sun Bin looked up at Li Mingyuan and said cautiously.

"The priority is given to training technical personnel for research institutes and heavy industry production plants."

Li Mingyuan rubbed his forehead, thought quietly for a while, and said, "The number of students enrolled in the mechanical department, physics department, and chemistry department of the Central University of Science and Technology and the National University of South China remains unchanged, and the graduates of the three disciplines will be given priority to the Royal Research Institute, Xinjing Shipyard, military production plant, and iron and steel smelting group, and increase the enrollment quota of economics, agriculture, water conservancy, management, and textiles. Other disciplines expand the number of students, and at this stage, the training of middle-level applied technicians is the mainstay, and the admission standards can be appropriately lowered when recruiting students. ”

"What about education funding?" Sun Bin asked.

"The first batch of education funds of 500,000 Han Yuan will be allocated by the Ministry of Finance, and the remaining 1.5 million Han Yuan will be allocated in three installments, and the specific allocation time will be coordinated and discussed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance." …………
