Chapter 996: Take a Nap

Before making the decision to make primary and upper primary education free, Doolin also did some research. At present, the total population of the Ambiluo region is about 1.3 million, of which about 300,000 are of educational age.

But less than one-eighth of those who actually have access to education, that is, only 30,000 or 40,000 people are eligible for education, and among these educated people, the number of people receiving advanced education will decline further.

Many families have children drop out of primary school after they finish school, and even fewer are in high school, even fewer can go to high school, and very few can also go to college. The lack of educational resources leads to the lack of teachers on the one hand, and the contradiction between the cost of expenditure and family income on the other.

According to the current education rules of the empire, the cost of a child to complete elementary school to high school to college together is about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, and before college, that is, about 2,700 to 3,000 yuan is needed from elementary school to high school.

The per capita income in the Ambiluo region is low, with the average family earning between 80 and 100 yuan per month based on a two-person job, which is significantly lower than the wages in the developed cities of the south.

This year, Illian's minimum monthly income has risen to 63 yuan and 70 yuan, but in Ambiluo it is only between 40 and 50.

In addition to the reasonable expenses necessary for families such as food and clothing, each family can only provide for one or two children at most to complete basic and intermediate education, and when it comes to college, most families cannot afford to pay more than 1,000 yuan a year in tuition, so there are only two universities in eleven towns in eight cities in the entire state, and neither of them is ranked in the empire!

Moreover, these numbers come from the very magic word "per capita".

In order to increase the depth of educational resources in the Ambiluo region and increase the number of school-age populations, free education is imperative. The potential of a region comes mainly from the degree of industrialization and education, and if Doolin is to come up with a perfect answer in the next eight years, then the proportion of these two must be increased!

It costs a lot of money, but he doesn't mind, he will promulgate a series of policies to encourage private capital to invest in education, for example, the funds invested in educational resources can be used as a part of the tax revenue, Duhrin himself is a big taxpayer, of course, this has nothing to do with his promotion of free education, at least he thinks so.

When Doolin shouted for free education, the cowboys in the square were stupid and confused.

Even in the most backward and remote part of the Empire, people can still understand how terrible the impact of education on the future of life is, and they themselves are constantly showing this disparity.

A person who has only attended elementary school can only do the most basic work when he becomes an adult, and he can sell his physical strength in exchange for a small salary.

However, a high-end intellectual talent who has gone to college and has a degree is very likely to squeeze into the middle class of society within five to ten years of entering society.

The income of high-end intellectual talents will be dozens or even more than 100 times that of residents who have only experienced literacy education and have only basic knowledge.

The first thing that any family wants to do if they want to make great changes is to climb up to a higher social class and upgrade in class, so that great changes can occur.

If you are not poor, if you are not backward, who wants their children to live like a dog in the farmland, in the pasture, and in the mine in the cold winter or under the scorching sun?

Even more tired than a dog, and not as good as a dog!

They used to just like Dulin as a person, but now they have a firm impulse to support him and vote for him, so to speak, even a belief!

"Mr. Dulin, I understand what you said about free education, but who will solve this money?"

This question has been raised, and it is not uncommon for any policy to be questioned to a certain extent before it is enacted, and even to hold several to dozens of hearings before it can be determined.

If there is dissent, it means that the people have thoughts, and this is a good thing...... Yes, a good thing.

Du Lin answered the question with a smile, "Part of this money goes from the finances, if the finances don't allow it, ......", he paused a little here, many people held their breath, he pointed to the sky again and said loudly in an extremely firm tone, "Then I'll pay this money!"

There was an uproar and the whole square was boiling, and many people couldn't believe their ears, what the great Mr. Durin just said, he wanted to give this money, but did he know how much it was?

Well, in fact, this is also a misunderstanding of free educational resources, the entire western region currently has less than 1,000 registered and working teachers, so even if they are 10,000, give them a total of 10,000 people, and then increase their salaries to the normal level, the salary that needs to be issued every month is 780,000 yuan.

Combined with the cost of various wear and tear and maintenance of various schools, including the necessary physical education resources, the monthly expenditure on education is about 1.2 million.

Note, however, that this figure is a tenfold increase, and in fact, in the current situation in the west, 100,000 yuan a month is already very remarkable.

Is this a lot of money?

It's not much at all, just the various taxes such as business tax that Dohrin pays in Illian every month are more than three million, and with the rapid growth of the TV Group's business, this number is very likely to exceed the five million mark next year.

Move the headquarters of the TV group to Ambiluo's side, and then offset the taxes with the money invested in education, and Durin will make money!

But these people in the square didn't know this, and their only thought at this time was that Du Lin was too great to step on a horse!

At this time, an old man on crutches walked under the podium under the escort of several young people, and there was indeed a need for such an old man to appear at this time, he was definitely not an actor or anything, he was a local, and he had a high prestige. When he was young, the old man served several terms as a local sheriff and did a lot of big things, some of which have been adapted into scripts and made into movies.

He stood under the podium and looked at Durin, the wrinkles and loose muscles on his face slid to the side as he looked up, and a thrilling luster flashed in his cloudy eyes, "Mr. Doolin, can you promise and promise us that you have not deceived us and will fulfill your promise?"

Durin raised his hand and looked into the microphone with a solemn face, as if he was the only voice in the whole world, "I swear, in the name of my surname, the kings and the gods, I guarantee that everything I just said is true, and as long as I can become the governor of Ambiluo, this will be the first regional policy I will promulgate, and it will be written into the local law!"

Suddenly, a cowboy unloaded the shotgun he was carrying, fired a shot at the sky, and shouted "Doolin", and the whole square instantly became the world, the country, and the day called "Nian" in Doolin's dream.

There was a crackling of different sounds from the firing of different firearms, and people pulled triggers, whistled or shouted Dorin's name, rejoicing in everything he had said and what the future could look forward to.

Suddenly, it dawned on Dühring that perhaps it was not that the previous governors, including the current governors, were inactive, but that they were too afraid of such a scene. It's home to the hottest cowboys, but it's also a completely uncontrolled firearm, and the bullets flying around are the real melody here.

He loved it, how much people loved him, how the bullets tore through the air, and he believed that it would be a paradise, a real paradise!

This is the West.

This is Ambiluo!

This is Doolin's world!

"That's ridiculous!", the current governor couldn't help but say when he heard the man describe Durin's speech and what happened on the scene.

There is no doubt that as a politician with normal mental energy, normal thinking ability, and normal three views, his evaluation of Duhrin is very accurate, which is ridiculous.

Is it so simple to provide free education? In fact, the empire has not failed to consider this aspect for so many years, but each time it has had to give up.

Even the Ministry of Education, which was divided into two this year, believes that it is not the most appropriate reality to implement free education at this stage, but Duhring actually wants to play this game in the most backward place in the west, does he think those voters are easy to mess with?

Once he relies on these small tricks to get a lot of votes and can't keep his promise when he takes office, the simple cowboys will make him understand that revenge is often as simple as a gun and two bullets!

As for Dulin's criticism of him, as well as those of his predecessors, it is not a problem.

For the sake of the Timamont family's face and the exchange of interests that had been reached, he didn't feel it at all, and even had a hint of joy.

His secretary looked at his "boss" from the sidelines and laughed inexplicably, and couldn't help but remind, "Do you want to say hello to Doolin and let him avoid you when he attacks the state government and the city hall below in the future?"

The governor smiled and shook his head, "There is no need, the higher he holds himself, the more painful he will fall in the future, our great leader, Your Excellency Magus, may have lost his eyes this time!"

Mags, who has always embodied the characteristic of "stability", actually recruited such a radical niece and son-in-law as Durin, which is really substandard.

Thinking that he would soon be able to leave this damn place and go to a developed city, the governor looked at his watch and said hello to his secretary, "Remember to wake me up fifteen minutes before work, and I'll sleep a little longer!"
