Chapter 130 New Hope in 2001

Zhang Yan thought about it and decided to ask Zheng Nong to hire someone at the Northeast Normal School. In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhang Yan went there with the idea of ​​a thousand gold city horse bones. The 21st century is the century of talent. The Qiufeng County Party Committee and County Government have not had a few college students in total. What they lack most is talent. If they catch any of them, then their disciples will not come in batches. They will not even be able to make up for the teacher.

However, it seemed that the woman had seen her there, and Zhang Yan couldn't remember where she had seen her for a while. He just vaguely felt that this person was very familiar. After thinking about it, Zhang Yan no longer bothered, and the chubby child looked like he was very cute. He didn't know what the child's mother looked like. Damn, what did he think?

On New Year's Day in 2001, the veil was unveiled in Zhang Yan's chaos. Zheng Nong lived up to expectations and successfully invited Huang Zhiqiu, deputy director of the Department of Humanities at Northeast Normal University, to Qiufeng County. Zhang Yan talked with him for a long time and felt that this person was of good quality and had a clear understanding of education. In addition, he was not very old and was only in his early forties, so he made a decision on the spot and appointed Huang Zhiqiu as the deputy director of the county education committee. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was a matter of time for Huang Zhiqiu to be the director.

Huang Zhiqiu also agreed very readily. Although Northeast Normal University is a department-level school, the department level below is a department level, and his level is a deputy department. The deputy director of the county education committee he serves is a regular subject, which can be said to be a lower-level use. However, Huang Zhiqiu didn't care about these. What he cared more was that the education system of a county was handed over to him, and many ideas could be implemented in this barren educational desert. And seeing his ideas blossomed and bear fruit, this is what he cared about the most.

On this day, Huang Zhiqiu summarized the investigation clearly into a piece of information. After repeated consideration, he found Zhang Yan's office with confidence. At this time, Zhang Yan was calling. Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu was coming, he whispered a few words on the phone, and then hung up the phone... He greeted enthusiastically: "Director Huang, you are here. I heard that you have been investigating below recently. Have you gained anything?"

Huang Zhiqiu took out the documents and handed them to Zhang Yan's desk and said, "My investigation results are all in this manuscript. Please take some time to take a closer look. The problem is very serious and shocking!"

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had been the county party secretary here for a long time. He heard this tone and was a little uncomfortable for a while. But then he realized that Huang Zhiqiu must have been in the ivory tower for a long time, so he didn't know many things. In Zhang Yan's opinion, this was a good thing. Taking advantage of this sharpness, it would be difficult to deal with it if it was really smooth.

"Director Huang, I don't read these manuscripts, I want to hear your opinions." Zhang Yan pushed the manuscript and said directly.

"Oh?" It was obvious that Zhang Yan's style of doing things also surprised Huang Zhiqiu. Huang Zhiqiu thought for a while and said, "The problem is very serious. The first one I went to was Lijiawozhuang Central Primary School in Qingshi Township. The school building was broken and air leaked everywhere. In the winter, the primary school students were trembling with coldness. The school only had the principal as a substitute teacher. The principal was still a private teacher. His lover was in another place and his health was not good. The principal ran all year round and he was almost exhausted. It was more than 300 yuan a month, and the extra money was just four students living there. They all added fifty yuan a month, so they couldn't make much money. Who would like to be a teacher like this? To be honest, I knew it would be like this, I would definitely not have come."

Zhang Yan smiled: "Director Huang, have you given up? I really don't know about this situation. When I first took office, the teacher representative surrounded me and asked for money. At that time, I begged my grandfather to make up for the loss. I thought everything would be fine after the money was reached. Who would have thought it would be like this? But now, Director Huang, how are you going to solve this problem?"

Huang Zhiqiu was a little surprised and asked, "Secretary Zhang, how do you know I want to continue doing it?"

Zhang Yan patted a thick manuscript and said, "Just this I know you will continue to do it. Moreover, although the problem in Qiufeng County is serious and not so easy to solve, it is definitely not the most serious county. On the contrary, it can be said that it is done well in terms of teacher salary payment. The problems you see are just common problems in China, but these problems have been covered up intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone thinks it is good, but in fact the situation is very bad."

Huang Zhiqiuqi said: "Do you think I can jump into this fire pit? I'm not stupid. I'm still looking for it to jump inside when I see such a bad thing?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "Director Huang, there may be a fire pit below, but if you put out the fire in the fire pit and plant flowers and plants, won't you become famous all of a sudden? The local finances here must focus on ensuring the expenditure of education. I am not a person who speaks empty talk. You may know the salary payment of teachers two years ago. My teachers are all very excellent teachers. They teach me the principles of being a human and doing things. I have always believed that nothing is more important than education."

"Well, I've heard of it. Otherwise, I would have left long ago and would not have written these things again. This is the first time I have heard that the leader has been squeezing out money to pay the teacher's salary for the sake of the teacher's salary. I feel at ease if you have this style, but it takes a lot of money to run education. It's useless to shout slogans with nothing but money. After all, it comes down to the word "money". How much money do you have to let me use it?"

Zhang Yanxin thought about it and said, "Five million a year."

Huang Zhiqiu's eyes flashed and nodded: "Well, we can start the construction of primary schools, including the renovation and reinforcement of old school buildings, and the salary of teachers and staff is increased by 200 yuan per month. Excellent teachers can get paid leave for one week, which would be even better if they had more money."

When Zhang Yan heard Huang Zhiqiu's words, he felt happy and asked, "What if I could provide ten million for a year?"

"Add 500 yuan per person's monthly salary can attract some students from normal schools to teach in our county, and can also introduce some high-tech education equipment to create a primary teaching resource sharing center."

"What if it's 20 million?"

"It can increase teachers' salaries and divert them to train or retire without qualified private teachers. It provides free nine-year compulsory education, free food, free school uniforms, and free accommodation fees. It also attracts the attention of graduates from famous normal universities such as Northeast Normal University."

"What if it's 50 million?"

"Then we can't do anything, because before that, the Director of the Finance Bureau must have collapsed first."

Zhang Yan laughed happily: "Okay, the county's economy is pretty good now. You can take out the five million, but you have to accept supervision when implementing it. Don't be too careful. Our county's current administrative law enforcement is transparent, and it is introduced on the government website. Even I have to publicize everything I do. I hope you can understand."

Huang Zhiqiu seemed to be in a good mood and smiled and said, "What's the matter with Secretary Zhang? It's already very rare to invest so much money in education. I can't ask for more."

Knowing his position, knowing what he can and cannot do. Such a person is closest to success, and Zhang Yan is also very happy to find such a strong man to help. What troubles Zhang Yan the most now is that he does not have his own team. Although Erhu and Ergou are strong enough, his ability is there and he cannot help him. Others are old officials, so he naturally has no idea when he is in a good mood. If he is not in a good mood, he might not only not help, but also step on it. People like Huang Zhiqiu are still very promising if they are well trained.

On January 31, 2001, Qiufeng County introduced a new education system. Within the entire Qiufeng County, nine-year compulsory education is free, and the free range includes tuition and miscellaneous fees and meals between classes. In addition, a scholarship system is set up. Students with academic performance in the top ten schools can receive a scholarship of 1,000 yuan, and the scholarship of the top 50 students is 200 yuan. For teachers, the system stipulates that private teachers are strictly prohibited from teaching. Existing normal teachers are sent to full-time training and their wages are paid during the training period. As for teachers who are really unwilling to train, they are allowed to return internally or sickly and enjoy the same treatment as public teachers.

For school buildings, the system stipulates that school buildings that have been demolished for more than 15 years are forced to be demolished and rebuilt for school buildings that have been more than 10 years and less than 15 years, and the principle is to demolish and rebuild if there are poor quality and retain good quality. No matter whether the teaching building is built that year, any quality problem will be demolished.

After the system came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion community. What is surprising is that the focus of public opinion is not on the benefits of implementing this set of education in Qiufeng County, but on who paid the money and whether it could be successfully completed. Because according to relevant people, the money would cost at least more than 15 million, which is not something that a poor county like Qiufeng County can afford.
