Chapter 182: Huge Spending 3/3
Why, what did those people do, after the defeat of Japan, there was nothing left, and there were still a lot of war reparations to be paid every year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then they introduced a series of measures to strengthen the people, rather than forcing the government to enrich the government personnel. That is the nutrition and education of children, the rise and fall of a nation, it depends on these two. Of course, there is also a normal and relatively equal legal system, and with the United States, he can't mess around and engage in hierarchical relations.
First of all, the problem of nutrition, after the end of World War II, in order to improve the level of national health, Japan put forward the slogan of "a glass of milk to revitalize a nation", first from primary and secondary schools, the implementation of the school milk project, from an early age to cultivate the habit of drinking milk.
At that time, the supply of school milk in Japan came from the support of the United States and other Western countries, mainly skimmed milk powder. Later, with the development of the domestic dairy industry, it gradually transitioned to the use of all domestic fresh milk, and at the same time directly led to the development of the domestic dairy industry.
In 1954, the Japanese government promulgated the "School Lunch (Feeding) Law" and the "Decree on the Promotion of Dairy and Cattle Breeding", which clarified the legal guarantee for the implementation of the "School Drinking Milk Program", which was implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
By 2003, there were 37,500 schools in Japan that received school milk, with 12.8 million students, and 92.9 per cent of schools (97.2 per cent of primary schools and 85.3 per cent of junior high schools) provided school milk. 92% of the students drank school milk (99.3% of primary school students and 79.5% of secondary school students); School milk is provided an average of five times a week.
The annual supply target is 195 days.
The daily supply is 200 ml for primary school and kindergarten students, and 300 ml for students in other schools. School milk accounts for 9% of the total liquid milk market share.
From this alone, there is no doubt about Japan's subsequent rise. Think about what kind of species are the officials in those countries that let children drink poison, so that all the children of the whole country can drink poison milk, and they alone are enough to exterminate the nation.
The enemies cheered and wanted to award the Nobel Prize to these "species!!
Then there is education, which benefits from the emphasis on education and the cultivation of human resources. Former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture Mano Araki once pointed out: "Since the Meiji era, the social and economic development of our country, especially the post-war economic development, has been very astonishing and has attracted the attention of the world. ”
Schultz, a well-known American development economist, said: "After the war, Japan's stock of physical capital was almost wiped out, but a large number of people with intellectual level still existed in an important part of its national wealth. "The history of Japan's emphasis on education dates back to the Meiji Restoration.
As early as 1872, when the Meiji government promulgated the "School Ordinance", it put forward a very clear slogan in the "School System Notice", and then in 1886, the Meiji government announced the implementation of compulsory education throughout the country, and after about 30 years of efforts, it finally spread elementary education throughout the country, and its speed is second to none in the history of education in the world.
In addition, Japan is also the first country in the world to universalize compulsory education nationwide, four years earlier than the United States and 10 years earlier than France. Just as former Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda said in a policy speech: "People are the wealth of our country, and education is the foundation of national politics." "This should be the root of the miracle of Japan's rise.
The success of Japan's modernization is related to the government's emphasis on science and talent, and more importantly, Japan's quality education runs through children's daily life.
As early as 1947, Japan achieved a nine-year compulsory education system, and the national higher education penetration rate is among the highest in the world. The success of Japanese education lies in the fact that it attaches great importance to quality education and all-round development, which has laid a solid foundation for improving the quality of the people, and this kind of quality education is precisely the weakness of a certain country's education at present.
It wasn't until later that compulsory education went to university, what a terrifying talent training, with these high-quality people, are you still afraid that a country will not rise?
It is precisely because of this that Hu Lin is not eager to improve the strength of the army, but to use the earliest time to ensure that the children of the current Qing Dynasty can get a good supply of food, and even basic education.
In order to lay a talent foundation for Hu Lin to dominate the country in the future, one day late, too many people were delayed. Now that there is no strong army coming in, it can be appropriately used militarily as a second development goal.
Hu Lin took a tough attitude in the face of the officials who had just approached, which made these people feel not so comfortable. It's just that since Li Hongzhang has leaned over, this is a faction, at least after it is completely clarified, then he has the right to express it.
"General Hu, since you are going to open a school, which region do you plan to start with? I know that there are already schools in most parts of Guangxi Province, and it seems that there is something special about the books that are taught. ”
Liu Kunyi had already made up his mind when Hu Lin hit the capital, and he also sent people to investigate the general situation of Guangxi Province to understand it in this way.
"Lord Liu has a heart for me Pingshan, yes, Guangxi Province has been promoted based on Pingshan, covering most areas of Guangxi Province, and is also trying to let all school-age children in Guangxi Province enjoy the same treatment."
Hu Lin was proud, and then continued. "I plan to start with the whole country this time, but the funds are definitely not enough at the beginning.
I plan to open a university hall in the county seat and above, that is, a large classroom where one gentleman can teach 200 students at the same time, and the students take turns to attend classes. In this way, the amount of money spent is much less, and it will not empty the army's military spending. ”
It is impossible for all children in the country to go to school, the total population of the Qing Dynasty reached 450 million, and Hu Lin did not have the money to do it, which was simply a black hole of silver.
However, if you open a school from the county level, then this matter is much less, the Qing Dynasty is only at this time, 1549 counties, plus the capital city, at most need to set up about 1600 large schools.
According to the consumption of 1,000 taels of silver per month in a school, then the 1,600 schools in the country are only 1,600,000 taels of silver a month, and only 20,000,000 taels a year.
Hu Lin alone captured 30 million taels in this war, and 15 million taels were also robbed of the capital's nobles, which was not distressed at all when used in the school.
1,000 taels of silver is already a lot, and at this time, one tael of silver can buy 100 catties of rice, and these silver can support how many children's free accommodation and education.
Even if they are open to eat, they won't consume much, and if they can eat again, what if they add 100 taels more.
That is, the venue and Mr. asked for money, and the venue tried to use local ready-made houses to temporarily rent the mansions of wealthy families, believing that this was easy to raise.
If we try to find some ways to make money, such as finding foreigners to take out loans, robbing the rich people across the country, and modern direct procurement of industrial silver, we can also provide better food and accommodation for these children.
Of course, the imperial court also has to pick out some of it, and then go to the foreigners to buy grain and come back, so that it will not affect the price.
"Whew...."
The people present were all stunned by Hu Lin's thoughts, thinking about how much money they only had in their army, and they only used 2 million taels for a few major wars, although this is not all places in the country, only at the county level, and the silver is also in the sea.
Li Hongzhang was obviously "Hu Lin, I support the old man, but I'm afraid this silver will be used too much, have you calculated it?" ”
"Lord Li doesn't have to worry, the cost naturally knows, the country runs 1,600 schools, the funding is 1,000 taels per month, the house and accommodation of the school hope that you will find a way to solve it, first use the local mansion to run it first, and the court will also give some blood."
Hu Lin said, looked at Li Hongzhang and Li Kunyi, and nodded with a wry smile, regardless of what they continued.
"I will pay for the monthly expenditure of 1.6 million taels of silver, so that every schoolchild can be fed and fed, and meat and everything will be openly supplied. Give another 1.4 million taels of silver for petty use, not enough to add more, the cost of these silver I Pingshan will send someone to supervise, you adults look good. ”
Hu Lin directly took out the money, and everyone also knew that Hu Lin seized a lot of silver this time, according to what Hu Lin said, 30 million taels, this cost is really nothing.
With so much silver, how can Hu Lin be willing to give it up, it will cost 20 million taels a year, this is only on the books, and overspending is inevitable.
"Hey, Lord Han, you said that this Hu Lin spends so much money every year, can he get it, and the army that lives to save his life, that's the most important thing." A middle-aged man in a green court dress pushed the person sitting next to him with his arm.
"Master Sun, don't worry, didn't you listen to Liu Kunyi Lord Liu, most of Guangxi Province has opened schools, and I heard that the food of the Pingshan Army is eaten casually, it's just sad and crazy, there is not enough silver, does Lord Hu dare to do this."
This adult surnamed Han obviously believes in Hu Lin's heritage, at least he doesn't seem to be unable to take out the silver taels, and he looks confident.
"It's really good, in Mo's opinion, General Hu must have really dug up the silver mountain, so Lord Sun is worried that it will be redundant, I wonder how General Hu will allocate funds to the army." The surname Mo is even more straightforward, and he guesses.
“.......”
After everyone heard this, the hall buzzed again, and it really cost so much money to do it. And since you can spend so much money in this unprofitable place, what about the army? Wouldn't it be more!
As for the cost of supervision, to be honest, there are many places to make money, and there is no need to touch Hu Lin's mold. This was the first to be proposed by Hulin, which shows its importance.
Everyone was looking forward to how Hu Lin planned the army later, Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang were also surprised, but they didn't expect Hu Lin to be completely prepared.
Since the money is paid, it is natural to do things, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. It's just that at the moment, what they are most concerned about is the issue of strength, the army.
"Yes, Master Hu is righteous and Bo Yuntian, my Liu is a little inferior, I will support you."
"Indeed, General Hu Lin should be called Lord Hu Lin, since you can afford to pay for this silver, if the old man is not satisfied, I am sorry for the old man who has lived for decades."
Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang took the lead in nodding, and a group of officials also praised Hu Lin's righteousness, which was completely different from the questioning just now.
One by one, the eyes reminded Hu Lin, it seems that there is another important thing to spend under your silver, and you are all waiting. (To be continued.) )
