After talking about the division of the land into provinces and cities in the Americas, Huo Shan said again: "By the way, teacher, I have something to tell you here!"

"Oh, what else can make you so serious?" Huang Sheng smiled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hehe, in fact, it can't be regarded as a big deal! Now the land in the Americas that is about to be included in the rule of our Huo Jiajun has reached 5.3 million square kilometers, which is almost twice the amount of the land directly under the direct jurisdiction of Nanyang! If such a large piece of land wants to develop and make it a prosperous industrial and commercial taxing land, it can't help but need a large population, and it also needs a lot of capital investment! Therefore, what I want is to leave all kinds of industrial equipment and other materials that we have obtained from the United States without having to transport them back to Nanyang and directly leave them in our territory in the Americas! In this way, we can not only save a lot of costs and time in transporting them back and forth, but also enable these industrial materials to serve our Huo Jiajun as soon as possible! As for Nanyang, we can put the machinery and equipment we bought from Europe here!"

"Well! What you say is reasonable! In this way, it can also promote the harmonious and unified development of our two major territories, and it is very important for maintaining the internal stability of our Huo Jiajun! However, the educational resources of our ten provinces and two cities in Nanyang are too scarce! Therefore, some of the teachers recruited from the United States should be appropriately allocated to come to Nanyang! Although Huo Jiajun was able to recruit a large number of workers and qualified teachers from Europe by taking advantage of the economic crisis, after all, he did not directly grab as many from the United States!

"Okay. I agreed to the teacher's conditions! Hehe, Mr. Rong should be very happy now! This time, there are quite a few teachers from the United States!" Huo Shan, who came from later generations, understands very well the importance that the United States attaches to education. It can be said that a large part of the reason why the Americans were able to surpass Britain at the end of the 19 th century and become the world's largest economic power was because of their high investment in education! Even in the western part of the United States, where the economy is not developed and has not even joined the US Federation, there are universities and several technical colleges, and as for the Great Lakes, which have been developing for hundreds of years and have flourishing populations. In economically developed places, there are quite a few universities in each state! Therefore, Huo Jiajun has gained a lot in these places!

"Hehe, yes! Da Meng (Minister of Education Rong Hong) has already led the people of their Ministry of Education. They shouted the slogan 'After the completion of the first five-year plan, there will be more than 50 multidisciplinary universities under the Ministry of Education, with an enrollment of more than 10,000 students!'" Huang Sheng said with joy and relief.

"But that's it. I'm afraid the Ministry of Education's funding will be more than doubled!" Huo Jiaguang said. According to Huo Jiajun's three-level 12-year education system of primary school, middle school, and university. If we want to complete 50 universities, then the number of corresponding primary and secondary schools will also be multiplied several times on the current basis, and the number will be multiplied more than ten times, which is not a few hundred thousands, but a huge number in units of 100,000! In addition, Huo Jiajun is now practicing an eight-year compulsory education, and the school will also provide breakfast and lunch, which means that there is no need to worry about tuition fees and living expenses before going to university. This is another expenditure! It is conceivable that the funds needed for the development of Huo Jiajun's education in the future can be completely comparable to infrastructure construction. Huge expenditures on military spending!

"No matter how much money is spent, the development of education cannot be left behind, in the past, there was no way for us to have qualified teachers, but now we have obtained a large number of teachers from the United States and Europe, and with the large-scale retirement of soldiers in the army, we don't have to worry about primary school teachers and some middle school teachers at all! Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to make every effort to develop our education!" Huo Shan said with a solemn expression.

As a later generation, he understands better than anyone else the role of education in promoting a country! Whether it is the United States, Germany, or even the Japanese, whom Huo Shan hates so much, their strength is inseparable from their high investment in education! You must know that the Germans have already achieved the level of one primary school for 1,024 people at the end of the 19 th century, and an average of 200,000 people have a university! Although the current Huo Jiajun is still too far behind, Huo Shan does not want his country to be backward forever!

Standing at the top of Huo Jiajun, especially Huang Sheng and Huo Wolf, who had been abroad for several years and had seen the role of developed education in Western countries in promoting national development, they attached great importance to the development of Huo Jiajun's education industry!

"In addition, teachers! If you want to develop education, you can't just rely on the strength of Huo Jiajun's collective! You must know that many powerful universities in the West are private universities! Moreover, there are quite a few hidden rich people under Huo Jiajun's rule!" Huo Shan said.

Since ancient times, Nanyang has been a land rich in products and abundant resources! Under the dedicated management of hundreds of thousands of years, a large number of wealthy Chinese businessmen have been born on this large island surrounded by sea water! However, because Chinese pay attention to 'not revealing their wealth,' most of the wealthy businessmen are not famous! However, all this is no secret to Huo Jiajun, who controls the entire Nanyang and holds in his hands such elite intelligence agencies as the Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau!

"There are indeed quite a few wealthy people in Nanyang, 25 of whom have a fortune of more than 100 million silver dollars, and even more than 50 million silver dollars, and even more than 10 million! However, after the arrival of our Huo Jiajun, more than 98 percent of their land was confiscated! As the saying goes, 'cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents'! It is too difficult to expect them to support our policies and help us fund education!" Huang Sheng shook his head and smiled.

"Hehe, teachers don't have to worry! There is a saying that 'the people don't fight with the officials,' and now they have been cut off from their financial routes, and they have resentment in their hearts, so it doesn't matter if they don't support us! But they always have to dress and eat when they are a big family, right? Although they have hundreds of millions of dollars, if there are no new channels to make money, then after a few decades, no matter how big the family business is, it will fail! However, it is no longer realistic to want to invest in agriculture! Therefore, the only alternative channel that can be provided to them is industry and commerce! And this is when our opportunity comes!

"So you've already thought of a way?" Huang Sheng couldn't help but ask eagerly. Now Huo Jiajun's rapidly rising investment in education is almost making him feel troubled! If it weren't for the one-time loan of 2 billion silver dollars given to him by Huo Shan this time, it is impossible to say that in order to ensure the rapid development of the education industry, he would have to use the gold of the central bank to meet the emergency!

"Actually, this method is not specifically aimed at those big landowners in Nanyang, and in the future, all businessmen who do business in our Huo Jiajun will have the same requirements, even those foreign merchants!" Huo Shan said.

"Young Master, let's talk about it quickly!" Huo Di said with some expectation on his face.

In the future, all the logistics materials ordered by our army, the new civilian science and technology and products released by the Academy of Sciences, the construction of government public facilities, and the development of coal, iron, copper, and other resources must be selected from enterprises with a certain degree of charity value!"

"Charity?"

Looking at Huo Wolf's puzzled expression, Huo Shan smiled faintly and continued: "Yes, it is charity! Aiding the construction of schools is charity; building bridges and paving roads is charity; rescuing orphans and widows is charity; corresponding to Huo Jiajun's environmental protection policy, planting trees and grass, and greening the environment are also charity; of course, there are other aspects that I will not list one by one! In the future, we will choose cooperative enterprises according to this charity value!" Huo Shan said.

"Xiaoshan's method is not bad!" Huang Sheng said with a smile!

Not to mention anything else, the current Huojiajun army has grown to a scale of one million, and if we add the second-line garrison, this scale is even closer to 1.5 million! With so many troops, the amount of money spent every year on military uniforms, shoes, socks, water bottles, and ordinary canned food, vegetables, and other daily necessities is tens of millions! These things are not produced by the public enterprises to which the Huo Jiajun belongs, but are recruited from within the territory to make OEM works! And this has also given birth to a large number of new billionaires with a net worth of more than one million in the territory of the Huo Jiajun!

In addition, the Academy of Sciences every year to release new civilian science and technology and products is also a business to compete for things, you must know that some time ago when the Academy of Sciences released the bicycle parts production, the huge order volume has caused many businesses to scramble! As for coal mines, iron ore and other mineral deposits, it is a person who knows that it can make a fortune! So naturally it can also trigger the scramble of everyone! The only thing to worry about is the construction of public facilities such as railways by the government, Huo Jiajun's development time is too short, and there are no special private railway contractors and construction companies, but these will definitely not be less in the future, so it can be regarded as a rainy day!

Therefore, Huang Sheng knew very well that as long as Huo Jiajun did what Huo Shan said just now, then I am afraid that he would immediately achieve immediate results! After all, no one would have trouble with money!

"Young master, but how to define this charity value? If it is a large enterprise with strong capital, I am afraid that if it leaks a little bit from its hands, it will be several times more than those small and medium-sized enterprises! In this way, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the development of industry and commerce!" Huo Wolf asked with a hesitant expression.

"If that's the case, then it can be determined by the ratio of the money they invest in charity to their business, and the greater the ratio, the smaller the natural chance!" Huo Shan said.

"Young master, but all the businessmen have been counted!" Huo Jiaguang said with a smile.

"It's not that exaggerated, but in the world, there is a give-and-take! This is also to let them accumulate virtue and do good!" )
