"How much does it cost to build a dormitory?" The old captain asked.

"If you don't say anything, it's eight or nine million." The principal blurted out, but he felt that he said less, eight or nine million can be built, but as we all know, there are a lot of tricks in the process of building a building, in fact, the real cost of this building is eight million, but with the cost of cats, this building will need fourteen or five million, or even more, if it is not enough, the principal can also ask the higher departments for instructions, approve some money, and add up to about the same, and as long as the building is built, the contractor can still be in arrears, anyway, it is the school's arrears. It's not that the principal personally owes money, and the education department will always have a way, not to mention, "This is not a small amount." The old captain looked at Xia Dahai and said.

Xia Dahai smoked a cigarette and squinted his eyes, he has now learned to squint and think about things, his eyes are too wide, others can read what you think in your heart from your eyes, squint his eyes, you can hide it.

It stands to reason that this educational matter, now Lao Niu Village should be vigorously supported, the children are the pillars of the motherland, no matter how poor they can not be poor education, without education, how to talk about social progress, he Xia Dahai is relying on courage to dare to do, and like a dream to meet such a kind and powerful investor, otherwise what else can he do, isn't it in Lao Niu Village to dig that one acre and three points of land.

The principal in front of him, why is he a principal, isn't it because he is more educated than himself and more educated than himself.

Therefore, this education must be fully supported, don't end up in the development of the old cow village, the education collapses, get a bunch of losers, and then the old cow village that has been built so hard is lost.

There is indeed a lot of money in the account of the village committee, in addition to the construction of the people's livelihood project, there is a large amount of balance, this balance is a big cake, the leaders of Thirty Mile Town have knocked on the side more than once, and asked Xia Dahai to take out this money and put it into the town, the town is now also short of money, and the street renovation project has been in a state of stopping, but Xia Dahai has shirked it on the grounds that the villagers need to make a collective decision, which offended the leaders a lot, and the leaders also openly discussed this matter at the town meeting.

The money of the village committee, if you don't spend it for a day, you can't be quiet for a day, not only the school comes to donate, but several units have come many times, all of which have been rejected by Xia Dahai one by one, and now, Xia Dahai is about to become a thorn in everyone's side, but they can't help it, the mysterious investor may be next to the Son of Heaven, angering the investor, and the town leaders don't want to do it.

Rumors of this kind of thing are sometimes a double-edged sword, and sometimes there are certain benefits. If it weren't for the rumors, Xia Dahai would have been finished.

Xia Dahai understands very well, if the money from the village committee is handed over to Thirty Mile Town, it will be over, and there will definitely be things to enrich one's own pockets, didn't you say that human nature can't stand the test. He has been trying to find a way to spend the money as much as possible on the livelihood project, including some villages near Laoniu Village have been stained with light, according to the declaration, funded by the Laoniu Village Committee, respectively, to other village committees, establish and improve the village committee institutions, learn from the development experience of Laoniu Village, and start to develop small-scale projects in each small village, such as planting some medicinal herbs, wild vegetables, etc., Laoniu Village through external recruitment, recruit technicians in many aspects, and assign them to each village to guide the work.

But this aspect of the work Xia Dahai did not dare to all open, the construction of Lao Niu Village has not yet been completed, once all opened, it will be difficult to manage, if the investment in other villages is not in place, it will be wasted, and finally make the whole loss, he is still waiting for the opportunity, as long as the construction of Lao Niu Village is on the highway and formed, and then carry out other work in an all-round way.

It is better to sponsor and sponsor education, the so-called from the people, for the people.

Xia Dahai extinguished the cigarette butt and said: "I'll think about this matter, after all, this is the public funds of the village committee, and it must be voted on by all the villagers, and second, it must be approved by the superiors." ”

The principal stood up and shook Xia Dahai's hand and said, "Okay, this matter still needs to trouble Dahai to decide as soon as possible, there is still a lot of work in the later stage, and the time is pressing." ”

"Well, I'll hold a village committee meeting as soon as possible to discuss this matter."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave, I'll wait for your news." The principal picked up his briefcase and said.

Xia Dahai tried his best to keep the principal to stay for a peasant meal, but the principal said that he had something urgent to leave, got into his car, and a puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, he rolled down the window and said, "I'm leaving, you go to the town and call me, I invite you." ”

After sending off the principal, Xia Dahai stood at the door of the village committee, looking at the continuous mountains that were about to wake up, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The principal didn't stay for dinner, because he had some holidays with Xia Dahai, and it was okay to talk about things, because everyone is now a person who does things, and talking about work is talking about work, without a trace of personal emotions, but staying for dinner is different, and it is inevitable to find some digressions when eating, for example, do you remember the labor reform here? At this time, mentioning the past will inevitably make people feel embarrassed.

So after the principal finished talking about work, he hurriedly left Laoniu Village.

"How about the sea? Ready to donate? The old captain asked.

Xia Dahai turned around and said: "This money is donated, if you don't donate, you have to donate, otherwise, a group of wolves will not let us go, this money is spent on education, reasonable!" ”

The old captain patted Xia Dahai and said: "That's right, the money must be spent in the right place, and you can't give it to those grandchildren to build today and tear it down tomorrow......"

"Yes, this money is the blessing left by our ancestors, and we want to benefit our children and grandchildren."

The meeting was held the next day, and of course, I was also involved in the meeting, and everyone in the village who was at least 18 years old was able to vote for it.

Xia Dahai spoke first, to the effect that we are now helped by outsiders to carry out large-scale construction in Laoniu Village, and every household has received land compensation. The village committee still has some money, and the accounts have always been open to the villagers, and now they have come to vote on whether to donate a dormitory building to the town's school.

The result was unexpected, Xia Dahai thought that some villagers would have selfish intentions, but he didn't expect the unanimous vote to pass, and everyone's mood was very high, because most of the children of the family are studying in Thirty Mile Town, and these children have explained the disadvantages of the school without a dormitory to varying degrees after returning home, and the school's off-campus dormitory students have also had several major safety accidents, so parents are very concerned about this matter.

After the meeting passed, Xia Dahai went to the town of thirty miles to run the formalities, the town leader in charge of education, than the fat leader in charge of agriculture can be much wiser, when he heard Xia Dahai said that the village committee of Laoniu Village funded the construction of a dormitory building in the school, he almost cried excitedly, he said: "This is a great thing, the town has been lacking this fund, but the construction of the dormitory building is imminent, you might as well suddenly fall from the sky a big pie smashed on the head of education, all the people in the education circles, thank you to the village committee." ”

The words of the leader in charge of education made Xia Dahai embarrassed, which made Xia Dahai feel guilty, it seems that the matter of donating the dormitory building has been delayed a little. The leader immediately promised Xia Dahai that there was any problem with the procedure, but even if he came to him, he would give his full support, and the leader would come forward to help him handle some procedures that Xia Dahai did not need to do in person.

It seems that the leader in charge of education is afraid that the cooked duck will fly away.

The approval was soon issued, and the town agreed to the village committee's contribution to the construction of the dormitory building, which means that the village committee could use the funds, which was legal.

But another question came, that is, the method of donation, whether to inject the money into the education department at one time or the village committee to find a contractor to carry out the construction, on this issue, Xia Dahai held another group meeting in the village committee, which was also attended by a civil engineer in charge of the infrastructure work of Laoniu Village.

I was there at the meeting, and of course, I would like to express my opinion. Xia Dahai said with a smile: "Every villager has the right to participate in the meeting, and you are no exception, you are also a legal villager." ”

I cleared my throat and said, "This matter is very simple, if you want to eliminate waste and corruption, this building must be supervised by the village committee as Party A, that is, from the architectural design to the bidding, to the construction and acceptance, all the decisions are made by the village committee, and the school can participate as a functional party, for example, we can adopt some reasonable suggestions put forward by the school." ”

As soon as the words fell, the civil engineer immediately stood up, "I agree with Xiao Xia's opinion, there are too many cats in civil engineering, so we have to supervise ourselves." ”

I thought of myself as a member of the village committee: "We set up a village committee infrastructure office to be responsible for the construction of this dormitory building. ”

Such a decision completely cut off the principal's way of making money and abolished the school's right to pay, which stopped the phenomenon of bribery.

Xia Dahai smoked a cigarette, he looked at me, and then at the civil engineer, very satisfied, he secretly thought: this kid can't study, he is a good hand to be a Qing official, okay, just do it, there is still a period of time before the Spring Festival, if not, let this kid help in the village committee, responsible for the Spring Festival activities and the pre-bidding of the school dormitory.
