Chapter 244: A thunderclap on the ground

Li Yunlong's execution did not say anything, and he went to the Southern Bureau to report to Comrade Hu Bicheng about the Qijiang Technical College in the afternoon of the same day, and did not come back after the report, and waited until midnight, after the approval from the northern Shaanxi side, he rushed back, and when he came back and passed near the Ministry of Education, he also turned Mr. Lin Yin, who was waiting for the Ministry of Education to open the door the next day.

I really don't know how Mr. Lin Yin, a woman, dared to run to Qijiang with Li Yunlong in the middle of the night, but it's not strange to think about it, Mr. Lin didn't hesitate to run out of the queue in the middle of the night in order to ask for that almost meager fund, what else would he not dare, besides, in Mr. Lin's eyes, Li Yunlong is a general no matter what, at least he still needs face, not to mention that Li Yunlong's handsome face is now very recognizable.

Of course, Li Yunlong did not simply rely on his personal charm to kidnap Mr. Lin, but it was the bait he threw that Mr. Lin couldn't refuse - inviting him to help design and construct the school building of Qijiang Technical College, and at the same time helping Qijiang County to design 100 primary school buildings, so that Qijiang could take the lead in implementing "three-year compulsory education".

Not to mention the design of his old profession, just the "three-year compulsory education" let Mr. Lin move, compulsory education, from the beginning of the previous dynasty upper-class people of insight are calling for universal compulsory education, but later caught up with the revolution, this thing ended without a problem, and then there was such a voice during the Republic of China, who expected that the civil war did not stop for a day, until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, compulsory education has no shadow.

Now, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the country's limited financial and material resources are all in the service of the war, and even well-known scholars like Mr. Lin are hungry, let alone engage in compulsory education.

I never thought that on a cold night, when I was shivering at the door of the Ministry of Education, wondering if I would freeze to death like "The Little Match Girl", the legendary general of the Eighth Route Army, the famous military strategist, writer, and scientist General Li Yunlong actually told him that Qijiang County would implement compulsory education.

Although it is only three years of compulsory education, it is also a good start, three years is enough time for a student to get rid of illiteracy, if it is those students with better quality, they may also stand out, enter the field of vision of more people, and then change their fate.

Moreover, General Li Yunlong also claimed that this "three-year compulsory education" is only a preparatory department of Qijiang Technical School, and all students who meet the standards can enter Qijiang Technical College to continue their studies, so that the period of compulsory education will be extended.

This is already remarkable, even Japan, which claims to be the largest country in Asia, has only universalized the six-year compulsory education in this era, and the proportion of boys going from elementary school to junior high school in Japan is about 14%, and 9% of girls. This figure is even lower than the proportion of our country going to university in the 2nd and 1st centuries, so the devil junior high school students in this period are intellectuals, and the requirements for the devil to choose pilots are junior high school students.

There used to be a movie "Black Sun 731", in which there were details of training teenagers to engage in bacteriological weapons experiments, which is definitely not artistic processing, and the probability that the Japanese Army can recruit outstanding junior high school students is not very large, so it is normal to use excellent primary school students as cadets.

At the outbreak of the war, Japan claimed that more than 95% of men and more than 90% of women were educated. That can only be taken into account the "Education Decree" issued by the Japanese central government in 1879, which stipulates that children must receive a minimum of 16 months of compulsory education, and at best it can be regarded as strengthening literacy classes.

The ignorant Mr. Lin came to Qijiang County to rest for only a few hours, Li Yunlong moved a lot of design drawings, asked her to select drawings from them, and at the same time evaluate the construction difficulty and construction period, looking at the large number of various design drawings, Mr. Lin felt that the whole person was confused.

But what makes people feel even more incredible is that in just one day, the mayors and township chiefs of various townships and towns under the Qijiang River rushed to the Qijiang County Government, and Li Yunlong and the Xue county magistrate issued a notice together, asking the townships to quickly count the information on school-age contracts, and at the same time, preaching the compulsory education policy of the county government to the general public, requiring and encouraging the common people to send their children to study, in order to speed up the speed of information transmission, the provisional 68th Division sent out all the cavalry in its hands to assist those township governors.

In fact, the opinions of parents do not need to guess, except for a very small number of families, who can refuse free room and board, free education, free reloading, rather than let the children who have no ability to work at home and eat rice, it is better to let the children go to school, at least to be able to live a good life for a few years, not to mention that the government also guarantees that as long as the children can study hard, go to school, work, scholarships, as long as you can think of it.

After the number of school-age children was counted, Li Yunlong waved his pen and opened up the whole process, and 280 village and town primary schools were built at the same time, and tens of thousands of construction workers drove into the construction site and began to rush to build schools regardless of the cost, and all the preparatory schools were built within half a month.

At the same time, the construction application of Qijiang Technical College has also been approved by the Ministry of Education of the Shancheng Government, no matter how much the officials of the Ministry of Education are not optimistic about this Qijiang Technical College, judging from the current social environment, they really have no reason not to approve, not to mention, even if they do not approve, Li Yunlong himself will not dare to do anything.

With the approval of the Ministry of Education, Li Yunlong began to publicize with great fanfare, newspapers, magazines, radio, and the news of the enrollment of Qijiang Technical College was overwhelming, and for a while, the whole society focused on this matter, you can go to school without spending money, including food, housing, teaching materials, clothing, and monthly allowances, as long as you graduate, you will be arranged with a job with a lot of income.

What could be better than this, technical colleges, as a worker, what is there, these years, what can you do after graduating from junior high school? Petty civil servants at the grassroots level? Don't be funny, a good position can't take your turn at all, isn't it? As a worker? Now, during the war, the currency depreciated and prices soared, even if it was a factory with the best treatment, the workers could only guarantee that they would not starve to death, and there were really not many factories with good treatment like Qijiang, after all, people paid fiat currency in proportion to the price of rice, and there was no fixed wage at all, and the workers only determined a wage base according to their grades.

As for further studies? Don't be kidding, even if you don't fight, continue to study, even if you go to junior high school, it's something that ordinary civilians can afford, let alone go to college. Higher education is fundamentally insulated from the poor.

On the other hand, because of the slogan of "100,000 young people and 100,000 troops", many places will be semi-mandatory to go to primary and secondary school students to join the army collectively, if it is really generous to go to the country, it is estimated that it is nothing, but in this year of the national army, the treatment of soldiers is really not good, most of the time, I am afraid that if you do not wait to go to the battlefield, you will inexplicably starve to death, die of illness, and die of exhaustion, not to mention becoming a hero and a martyr. Now that they have the opportunity to have a future without being pulled, those students who have no way out are naturally responding positively.

In this place of the mountain city, because of the war, a large number of people have poured in, even if there is a large-scale conscription of the army and the large-scale construction of Qijiang County, it is impossible to consume all the surplus labor, and the temporary war of resistance has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so it is not the turn of those twelve or thirteen-year-old dolls to go to the battlefield, plus these children can't do any work, so on the streets of the mountain city, you can see those children wandering around in Sichuan, and these children are gathered together to cause huge pressure on social security. The enrollment of technical colleges is obviously to give children a way out, and at the same time to relieve the pressure of social security.

Therefore, in many places in the rear, there were spontaneous donations and materials by the local gentry to support the teenagers to go north to study in Qijiang County, just as they sent those local ruffians and second-rate sons to the battlefield before.

By early February, the number of young men and women pouring into Qijiang County had reached hundreds of thousands, forcing Mr. Lin and Mr. Liang to repeatedly revise the design of Qijiang Technical College, and eventually, after expanding Qijiang Technical College into a school large enough to accommodate 30,000 students, Li Yunlong blocked the idea of further adjustment.

30,000 students, 60,000 preparatory courses, this number scared Wang Yue, this number is too terrifying, you must know that the total number of workers in the national military industry during the Anti-Japanese War is only people, of course, this number is Wang Yue's numerical control number, in 1941, the number of workers in the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army alone exceeded 10,000.

Not only these 90,000 students, but also Li Yunlong expanded his team and recruited a large number of apprentices and soldiers, in his words, "Lao Tzu lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of food, no matter how many people you come, Lao Tzu can feed him!" The final result is that most of these hundreds of thousands of teenagers have been digested by Qijiang.

In order to feed these people, Wang Yue had to use the system space to carry out high-intensity fishing along the coast of Libis for a week, which directly led to the serious damage to fishery production along the coast of Libbi.
