"Hello, Minister, it's me, Mayor Su has just left." Luo Jiandong said cautiously and respectfully.

"What did he do when he went there?" Chen Yilun asked casually.

"Mayor Su only did one thing when he came to the Party School, that was, he had exchanges and conversations with the college student village officials, but the words in the conversation were a bit sensational, which seemed to make these young people feel a dependence and admiration for Mayor Su in their hearts." Luo Jiandong organized the language carefully.

"Haha, the trick of the devil is to win people's hearts." Chen Yilun sneered despicablely, Luo Jiandong on the other end of the phone did not dare to agree with anything.

"Okay, let's just do this, don't pay much attention to it. It's normal for Mayor Su to talk to the village official. This matter was originally under his charge. You should do whatever you want, nothing happened." Chen Yilun lightly weakened the matter.

"Yes." Luo Jiandong said respectfully.

Is it a ridiculous act to recruit village officials for your use? It's a ridiculous act. Who doesn't know that village officials are not civil servants, what can they do if they are civil servants? Can you still expect to wait for them to grow up for your use? Then wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?

Besides, even if you really have this idea, you have to see if I agree or not. Who am I? I am the director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Do you know what this means? It means that if you want to promote Su Mu, they must pass my level.

Will I make your intentions easy to achieve? Just kidding.

Chen Yilun was too lazy to pay attention to this matter anymore, and he didn't take the village official team seriously at all.

Half a day passed quietly like this.

Working hours in the afternoon.

Su Mu sat in the office, thinking about the matter of Huyang Village's funding for the establishment of the school. If this matter is implemented, he has to start with Song Qingsong. Who told him to be in charge of education?

Thinking of Xu Bingqing's miserable days there and the backward education problem in Huyang Village, Su Mu believed that this matter must be urgently grasped. Su Mu never spared any effort in the issue of education. He would do anything that could improve the level of local education and allow students to study with peace of mind.

Didn’t Shangchan City develop in Su Mu’s strategy of developing the city?

"Old Song, if you have time now, come to my office."

"Okay, mayor."

Song Qingsong came over quickly. When he sat down, Su Mu went straight to the point and said, "Old Song. You are the deputy mayor of our Lanfeng City who is in charge of education. I think you must be very clear about education. I want to ask you, what is the current education situation in Yangguan County? If you raise funds to build several modern schools, how many do you think can radiate to the whole county? What position should these schools be built in?"

Song Qingsong was a little stunned. I wonder why Su Mu suddenly asked about this, what's going on?

I haven't heard that the city has to make such a big policy tilt on education recently. Besides, even if the city government really wants to do this, it will have to spend a lot of money to study it at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. According to Sun Ruhai's personality, this may not be possible. After all, this is the current situation of education in Lanfeng City, and he has never thought of making any changes.

With money invested in education, Sun Ruhai would rather invest in economic development.

"Mayor Su. Can I ask what you mean?" Song Qingsong asked carefully.

"What does it mean?" Su Mu asked back.

Anyway, I have already stood on Su Mu's side, so some of the words Song Qingsong would not hide. He said directly: "I think Mayor Su, you will not ask these questions for no reason. Since it is a purposeful inquiry, I want to know why you have to ask this. You must know the questions you just asked, if you don't have enough funds to support it, it will be useless to say it. Therefore, I want to know the true thoughts in your heart. Just ask casually. I will speak freely. If you really have other ideas and want to use the finance side, I will give you another suggestion. My suggestion is to dispel this idea as soon as possible."

"Is that so? Let's hear, why should I give up this idea?" Su Mu curiously picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, and his eyes signaled that Song Qingsong should not be polite and chatted while drinking.

Song Qingsong was really a little thirsty. He picked up the tea and drank a few sips. After clearing his throat, he began to say: "Because our city is not well-off, Secretary Sun had a government order before and passed it at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He said that no matter any project, as long as the investment amount exceeds 10 million, it must be discussed at the meeting. As for the education issue you just mentioned, it is very weak in Lanfeng City and will not be passed. Because all the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee believe that instead of spending money on education, it is more reliable to use it for other economic construction projects."

"Our Lanfeng City not only has the last economic indicators in the province, but even the level of education is still very bad. This is inseparable from the lack of attention in the city. So I said, it is best to talk about what you just said slowly for the time being. But since Mayor Su, you are asking, I will naturally know everything. Do you really want to hear the current education situation in Yangguan County now?"

Projects with more than 10 million will be discussed at the meeting?

Is this necessary?

Su Mu really despised him. Sun Ruhai, you don’t fundamentally find a way to solve the financial tight problem, but instead just want to start with how to save money, thinking that controlling this means controlling everything. This idea is ridiculous.

If Lanfeng City says it cannot develop, it will never be able to develop by relying on reducing expenditure but not thinking about opening up sources. It seems that Lanfeng City's ruling philosophy is in great conflict with its own.

"Well, you'll do it if you say yours." Su Mu asked without comment.

"good."

Song Qingsong could see that Su Mu really wanted to understand this problem, so he explained his ideas and talked: "As one of the ten counties in Lanfeng City, Yangguan County is actually not large in area, and the number of towns under it is not too many, with a total of twelve. If you follow your previous idea and want to build schools that can radiate across the county, then I will start from the most basic one. Each township must have at least one primary school. If there are twelve towns, at least four junior high schools and four high schools are needed. Of course, junior high schools and high schools can be merged and separated."

"If there are more classes in high schools, then two high schools can meet the needs. Because Yangguan County is different from other counties and districts, there are not many children who can go to high schools. Many of them will drop out of school when they go to junior high schools, and then go out to work and earn money to supplement their family income. Therefore, my conclusion is that if you really want the education in the county to radiate, you have to build at least twelve primary schools, four junior high schools and two high schools."

Speaking of this, Song Qingsong glanced at him and found that Su Mu was listening seriously, so he continued to explain.

"Of course, this is said to start from the beginning, and there is actually no need to do so. After all, there are still many schools in Yangguan County. Not to mention anything else, there are two high schools in the county, namely Yangguan No. 1 Middle School and Yangguan No. 2 Middle School. These two middle schools are one of junior high schools, and then there are two junior high schools in the two subordinate towns. The locations of the four junior high schools are distributed in triangles, which almost radiates all the townships and villages in Yangguan County."

"What Yangguan County really lacks is primary schools, especially those villages in the mountains. Several villages use one primary school, one or two teachers in one school, and several grades are combined to attend classes. If the primary school problem can be solved and the remaining schools are invested and improved, I think it can change the current education situation in Yangguan County. But even so, the required educational investment is not a small amount. For example, if the primary school is built, I think it is best to rebuild or renovate the original school as a whole, supplement the corresponding teaching facilities, and completely improve the educational environment and atmosphere there."

"So, according to what you said, how many new primary schools are needed? How much start-up capital is needed?" Su Mu asked with narrowed eyes.

"In terms of the actual location of the villages of the twelve townships in Yangguan County, I think it is necessary to build on the existing basis, and if there are ten, it is not necessary. No matter how much it is, it is purely a waste of money. It is better to put some effort into the canteen food and accommodation on the basis of the existing school. If the canteen can provide free meals for students and free accommodation for dormitories, it is better than building any number of schools, and it can also save a lot of costs, such as teacher costs and capital costs." Song Qingsong said all of these words, and just by judging these accurate numbers, you can see that he is worthy of the title of deputy mayor.

Su Mu also gave a thumbs up in his heart.

"But if you ask how much money each school costs, I don't know how to define it. After all, this is judged based on the actual situation. The level of construction of the school is different, and these cannot be determined by generalization. But I am sure that if you really realize everything you said just now, 10 million will definitely not be possible. This number is far from enough. In addition, it is necessary to discuss it at the meeting, so there is little hope of passing it."

Song Qingsong finally fell to this point. What he cared about was where Su Mu got the money from, and he could only come from finance, but this is the problem. Even if the Finance Bureau is replaced by Xu Qiang as the top leader now, it does not mean that Su Mu can control it at will. Will the Finance Bureau dare not implement the matters decided at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee?

"Is it really impossible to pass at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee?" Su Mu smiled.

"Absolute." Song Qingsong frowned and shook his head.

"Don't worry, even if this matter is not passed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, I will think of a solution to the funds. Let me ask you, if this matter can be operated, would you be willing to keep an eye on it yourself? Get it done from beginning to end?" Su Mu said seriously.
Chapter completed!
