Chapter 153: Preparing for a Rainy Day (3)

"Military spending in disguise was originally the plan for the training of one million non-commissioned officers that Director Wang said." Han Lang.

"Raising 800,000 standing troops is about 270 million Chinese dollars, including weapons procurement, training, and facility maintenance, and this non-commissioned officer training plan will cost 160 million ......yuan a year," Zhang Zhigao still felt awkward.

Wang Zhiyi clapped his hands: "Comrade, how many officers and non-commissioned officers are there in the 800,000 standing army?" This is to train one or two million elite non-commissioned officers who are ready for future wars. ”

"Students don't have to be paid, they just need to be fed. The treatment of imperial soldiers is so superior, not to mention the high military salary of officers, ordinary soldiers can greatly subsidize their families in addition to eating......"

"Comrade, the army's food expenses are all deducted from the military salary, and the military school I am talking about is really all-inclusive, and it is a 12-year system."

Zhang Zhigao still shook his head: "In the final analysis, I am against the 12-year compulsory education for military families, which is not only unfair to other citizens, but artificially narrows the scope of talent selection." If we really want to train reserve non-commissioned officers, we can set up a national defense middle school that is completely free of charge, open to all primary school graduates to apply for examinations, and the existing junior military schools can also be merged. Do the children of soldiers have to join the army? And the children of other civilians are to be excluded from the army? ”

"The military academy is a ...... for all high school graduates to apply for the examination," Wang said.

"But that doesn't explain the question I just asked." Zhang Zhigao appeared aggressive.

Luo Sulan also came to help: "I think this empire is moving towards modernization, it is better not to engage in the Eight Banners in reverse." ”

The three generals looked at each other, and Yang Zhengjin finally spoke: "I think it will be done according to what Zhigao said, implement the national defense middle school system, select and admit students according to examination results, and recruit male and female students according to a certain proportion, and all enjoy free treatment and subsidies for national defense students." In general, we will aim to achieve 2.4 million students in national defense middle schools within 12 years and 350,000 graduates in 12 years. Among them, the male students are trained in the direction of reserve non-commissioned officers, military technicians, and reserve pilots of the army and navy, and after graduation, they will take the selection examination, and the first class will take the examination of the military academy together with ordinary high school graduates, and those who are eliminated will automatically transfer to the second class; The second class is selected for the army, navy, military factories and research institutes, and is awarded to alternate non-commissioned officers and alternate professional technicians; The third class is introduced or assigned to work in the local area by specialized agencies, and retains the status of reserve non-commissioned officers and military reserve professional technicians, and is regularly recruited by the Ministry of Defense for relevant training. ”

"Female students are developing in the direction of medical care, secretarial, and teaching staff, and they are also selected for the examination after graduation, and the best ones are selected for the army, and the second can participate in the entrance examination for a higher school in a related major, and the second one is introduced or assigned a job by the government, and retains the status of a reserve military clerk."

"How should the existing school for military children be positioned?" Zhang Zhigao asked.

"It is run according to ordinary national schools, all primary schools are free, and military secondary schools are not engaged for the time being, and ordinary middle schools use fair examinations to select students, so it's okay."

Zhang Zhigao has no objections.

As the leader of the largest party in the National Assembly and a former premier who served two terms, Zhang Zhigao's words have never seemed weightless because he is not currently in the position of prime minister.

If you are not in your position, you can't do it? Zhang Zhigao is indeed a little unwilling to lose the prime minister's throne - and was taken away by the traitor Mo Ning - but he knows that his voice and influence in the group will not be completely shaken because of this, and the group still needs the resources in his hands, his network, and his mobilization......

Besides, who knows if there will be a chance to turn around in the future? Zhang Zhigao thinks so, others will think so, at least, the leader Liu Yun has not shown obvious neglect of Zhang Zhigao so far, on the contrary, in recent years, the royal family has treated Zhang Zhigao's family favorably and has close personal relations.

And this time, Zhang Zhigao and his wife also grasped the crux of the problem, the members of the group who are deeply influenced by modern civilization in different time and space, the consensus on some ideal bottom lines is still not easy to annihilate, as long as it is put forward in a shocking image, it is not a problem to force the other party to change their words.

"In this way, the National Defense Middle School will provide the vast majority of non-commissioned officers, and the existing non-commissioned officer schools will also be reduced." Luo Sulan kindly reminded the generals.

"This is a problem for our military, and we will plan it ourselves." Wang Zhi, in turn, emphasized to the other party the difference between officers and civilians, and between soldiers and civilians.

Luo Sulan spread her hands and had nothing to say.

Wang Zhi glanced at Han Lang, who was lying on the stone table and started to calculate frantically: "I think the standard for the construction of primary schools proposed by His Excellency the Minister of Culture and Education is too extravagant. We still have schools in adobe houses until 2025, is it necessary to have such a high standard in the early days of our start-up? ”

This time, it was Zhang Zhigao's turn to cover for his wife: "This issue has just been discussed, the school building site is the responsibility of the local government, let them do it according to the actual situation, according to the site conditions to distribute materials, teachers, funds, if the economic conditions do not allow, the grass shed adobe is also a local matter." However, the central government should be responsible for that part of the funds should be allocated sufficiently, and the surplus should be used to supplement the construction of school buildings. By the way, Lao Han, the data just now, do you confirm that you have excluded the local responsible school building site fees? ”

"This, has been ruled out...... Hey, have you decided that you still want to complete 6 years of compulsory education in 12 years? Han Lang didn't raise his head.

Luo Sulan nodded: "Yes, last year's primary school students had a constant of 30 million in school, and the population increased to 600 million in 12 years, and the goal was to increase the number to 90 million. ”

"Understood, wait, it's almost ready."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Sulan suddenly had a new idea, "With a slight change, the plan for national defense middle schools will remain unchanged, and compulsory education will be changed to 9 years for junior high school, and the time will be extended to 18 years, and in addition, the subsidies for night schools and technical schools affiliated to industrial enterprises will be increased by 10% per year based on 07 years." ”

"18 years?" Han Lang consulted the opinions of others with his eyes, and everyone's expressions seemed to be unanimous: "Let's try according to the words of that female devil." ”

"Based on the population increasing to 700 million in 18 years, the goal is to have 110 million primary school students and 50 million junior high school students." Russell Lan added.

Han Lang took the task with a wry smile.

So this time the tea and chatting time was extended to five minutes, and Zhang Zhigao and his wife also took the time to go to the toilet.

"Done!"

The expectant eyes of everyone suddenly fired at Han Lang, and with a high rate of fire that could not be matched by the seven-barreled Gatling machine gun, it almost knocked him into the air......

The God of Wealth, who is still in the materialization, shook the folding fan and made a comfortable appearance.

"Old Han, tell me quickly, how much?" Wang Zhi said anxiously.

Han Lang exercised his thin shoulders and stuffed a grape into his mouth, and then announced in a matter-of-fact manner: "Within 18 years, the nine-year compulsory education will be universalized and the agricultural science institute will be popularized, the national defense middle school plan will be completed within 12 years, and the subsidies for night schools and technical schools affiliated to industrial enterprises will be increased by 10% per year, as well as the funds for the reform of rural government affairs. ”

"It still looks like a lot ......," Mo Ning said, hugging his arms.

"My plan is that the combination of national debt and normal income transfers will account for half of the planned expenditure. In pound sterling terms, an additional £25 million is needed in the first year, and then it will be progressively increased from year to year, with an average annual increase of £3.75 million on the original basis, and £70 million in the twelfth year. In the seventh year, the education debt peaks at £117 million, but in the tenth year it will fall back to £70 million, and then remain in the 18th year. After the completion of the 12-year total, the additional appropriations for the 13th, 14th, and 15th years should be maintained at a high level of 70 million pounds, and the 16th, 17th, and 18th years should be maintained at the level of 50 million pounds, so that the national debt can be paid off by the 18th year, and then the additional appropriations of 24 million to 28 million per year will be enough to maintain the results. In terms of fiscal proportions, the total expenditure on education should only account for about 25 percent of the total expenditure in the 18-year plan......"

"Only 25 percent? With so much spending on education, what about military spending? Liu Bailiang said dissatisfied.

"There is no way, only hope for economic growth and the increase of fiscal revenue, a century-old plan, education-oriented, this is for the benefit of the empire for generations to come, according to this plan, within 20 years can complete the overall substantial upgrade ......of the national quality, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first in the world."

"But the time span of this total is too long, what if it is interrupted by a war in the middle......" Wang Zhi also questioned.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, there is nothing that cannot be dealt with." Luo Sulan said that she seemed to have been fascinated by Han Lang's plan.

"It's easy to say......" Wang Zhi's eagle eyes flashed, and he was about to say something cruel, but was blocked by Yang Zhengjin with his eyes.

Here Mo Ning is already making a concluding speech: "I think this plan is very good, although the time span is a little larger, and we can still find a way to meet unexpected situations, I am still very confident in the economic development of the empire......"

“…… If you don't have any opinions, I'll put together the minutes of today's meeting and show them to the leaders for review. Still have questions? ”

"It's a pity that I can't see any reason why I have to fight, so I fully support Su Lan and Lao Han's final plan." Zhang Zhigao was the first to speak.

"No problem for now." Yang Zhengjin said.

Liu Bailiang and Wang Zhi looked at each other, silent, and shook their heads.

"That's the end of today's meeting." Mourning announced in a cheerful mood.

It's a good feeling to be prime minister, what's the matter, Zhang Zhigao, what do you think?

At this time, Mo Ning's heart seemed to be sprinkled with sunshine...... Weird, distorted, scattered diffraction sunlight......
