Liu Fei's slap seemed to be on the table, but it was actually a slap in the hearts of Zhang Zhenjie and Guo Dongbao. Because they never mentioned these issues from beginning to end, in fact, they were very clear about these issues, but they had been avoiding them.
These problems, after all, are not formed in a day or two. They involve many people and many departments, and are extremely complex. Although they are in their current position and seem to have high authority, they are also responsible for some problems.
Helpless.
At this moment, Shen Zhongfeng only frowned. He naturally understood that Liu Fei must have discovered a lot of things that made him very angry when he went to the grassroots for investigation this time, but there were some things that even he, the provincial governor, was beyond the reach of.
Because even if he is powerful and diligent, he cannot always go to the front line to supervise these tasks in person. He mainly relies on his subordinates below. However, everything Liu Fei said just now makes sense.
He said it openly and honestly, and he couldn't refute it, but he rolled his eyes and said: "Secretary Liu, how do you think we should solve these five problems?"
Shen Zhongfeng is very cunning. He knows that if he proposes a solution and fails to complete it, it will be a slap in his face. It is better to let Liu Fei come up with a solution first and then decide according to the situation.
Certainly.
Liu Fei was naturally aware of Shen Zhongfeng's little thoughts, but he called Shen Zhongfeng over today mainly to solve problems, so he did not refuse and said in a deep voice: "I just said, these five
The causes of the problem are complicated, but now that we have discovered the problem, we must find a way to solve it. Therefore, I think that our first and most critical step is to solve the safety problem of rural primary school buildings.
The problem of equipping teachers and teaching equipment, the salary of teachers, and the lunch problem of primary school students are all problems that we can find ways to solve at this stage."
After Liu Fei finished speaking, Shen Zhongfeng frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Liu, I understand what you mean. You think these problems are all about money. As long as we raise the money, then these problems will
That’s solved, but I think these problems are the most troublesome. I believe you, Secretary Liu, are also aware of Canglan Province’s financial situation. Our Canglan Province’s fiscal revenue ranks relatively low in the country.
, especially this year, in order to vigorously develop the economy, we must upgrade the hardware and software facilities in many places. There are too many places that need to spend money, and now there is not much money in the finance. I am now
Where can we get money to meet our needs for software and hardware renovation and upgrade in Canglan Province? Therefore, although the problems you mentioned can be solved as long as we have money, it is precisely the word money that has become the key to restricting us from solving these problems.
factors, otherwise, I have known about these problems for a long time, but there has been no way to solve them. The fundamental reason is that we have no money. So my point of view is that we in Canglan Province should focus on developing the economy first. As long as our
Once the economy develops and the finances are rich, we can invest in education."
After Shen Zhongfeng finished speaking, Zhang Zhenjie also said: "Secretary Liu, I also agree with Governor Shen's point of view. To be honest, I also understand the education problems that exist in rural areas, but because of the financial allocation of money to our education every year, is limited, even if the money is spent on urban education, it is still very tight. We certainly cannot scruple about investing in rural education, although our Canglan Province does have some problems in rural education. problems, but these problems are ultimately caused by the economic development problems of our Canglan Province. As far as I know, these problems in our Canglan Province basically do not exist in some developed provinces. Therefore, the only way for our Canglan Province to solve these problems is The best way is to develop the economy first, otherwise, everything will be illusory."
At this time, Director of the Department of Education Guo Dongbao also said with a bitter look on his face: "Secretary Liu, Governor Zhang is right, our Department of Education only allocates so much money every year. After arriving at our Department of Education, most of it is directly It is allocated to various prefectures and cities. As for the use of each prefecture and city, our Education Department can only supervise it. Our hands are also limited, especially when funds are limited, we cannot take care of too much."
After hearing the complaints of the three people, Liu Fei's face became even more gloomy. His eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of the three people. After a long time, Liu Fei said in a deep voice: "Governor Shen, according to your statement , is the problem of rural education in our Canglan Province really unsolvable?"
Shen Zhongfeng nodded with a bitter look on his face and said: "Secretary Liu, to be honest, whether it is education in the city or education in the countryside, for me, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, but currently we in Canglan Province Under such circumstances, we can only worry about the cities first, but cannot take into account the rural areas. I think that according to the current development speed of our Canglan Province, in three or four years, our Canglan Province will be able to devote energy to increasing investment in rural education. "
Liu Fei's face sank and he said coldly: "Governor Shen, since the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, why can't normal education funds be distributed equally or proportionally? Why should rural children sacrifice first? You This logic is very problematic, shouldn’t it be based on your identity?”
Shen Zhongfeng's face also darkened, and he said coldly: "Secretary Liu, if you can solve the funding problem, I will definitely solve these problems immediately."
Liu Fei said coldly: "The way I see it, from now on our Canglan Province will increase its financial funding for education by 30% every year. In addition to the previous normal payment channels, this additional 30% will be used as a target for the entire province." Special funds for rural education.”
Shen Zhongfeng immediately frowned and said: "Secretary Liu, there is no problem with the fund transfer, but the problem is where to find the additional 30% of the funds?"
Liu Fei said: "These 30% are all funded by the province's three public budgets. The province's annual three public budgets are very huge. This is simply a waste of taxpayers' money, and most of the three public budgets only require a little help from the leaders of our relevant departments." If you tighten up a little, you can save money. I believe that the cadres in the province should have this awareness. As long as they use less public funds and eat less meals, they can provide an extra month of food for all the students in a rural primary school. As long as they buy one less car, they can purchase a lot of teaching facilities for several rural primary schools in a township. I remember that when I first arrived, I asked Comrade He Jianping to make a consumption survey report on the three public budgets. From here on It can be seen from this survey report that a considerable part of our three public budgets is used for food and drink with public funds, traveling abroad with public funds, buying cars with public funds and even using public cars for private use. Therefore, judging from this situation, there is a lot of money All can be saved. Therefore, the 30% of the annual increase in the education budget for rural primary schools will come from the three public budgets. Starting next year, within the next three years, the province's three public budgets will always remain at a fixed amount. , cannot grow. Of course, since the base of education funding is growing every year, in addition to spending a fixed proportion from the three public budgets, the other balance will be solved by the finance department as the economy develops. Governor Shen, Do you have any objections to my proposal? Do you want to go to the Standing Committee for discussion?"
Shen Zhongfeng strongly disagreed with Liu Fei's proposal. However, considering that this year's budget for the three public affairs had already been allocated, Liu Fei had no choice but to think about it. As for whether he agreed to it now or not, it didn't make any sense.
Big, because no one knows what the situation will be like next year, he nodded and said: "Well, Secretary Liu wants to allocate part of the funds from the three public budgets to support education funds. I have no objection, but if it does not increase within three years,
The amount of the three government budgets, I’m afraid there will be very loud opposition from below, right?”
Liu Fei waved his hand and said: "In this way, if anyone has an opinion, please ask him to come to me. I am responsible for doing ideological work. I want to see who has such a low ideological consciousness. There are so many rural primary school students in the province.
Even the schools they go to are in shaky condition. They are still thinking about using public funds to eat, drink and have fun. As a secretary who focuses on ideological work and personnel work, I don’t mind giving them an ideological education class in person. If education doesn’t work,
If so, adjustments must be made, and we must not let our children in Canglan Province lose hope."
Liu Fei said it for such a reason, and Shen Zhongfeng also knew that even his objections were useless, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it according to Secretary Liu's wishes, but I don't care about this matter.
I think we still have to discuss it at the meeting, and after forming a unified opinion at the provincial party committee, we can start implementing it next year."
Liu Fei nodded: "Okay, then we will decide on this issue at the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow."
Shen Zhongfeng added: "Secretary Liu, even increasing the allocation for rural education will be a matter of next year. So what should we do this year? If you want to solve part of the problem this year, you can't do it without funds?"
Liu Fei said solemnly: "Governor Shen, I think this is how we should handle this problem. In the second half of this year, we will focus on solving the problem of renovating dilapidated buildings in some rural schools, the allocation of teaching equipment, and the salary compensation of rural substitute teachers.
Last time, when I went to Xishan County, Tangmeng City for research, I found that many primary school students actually had to bring their own desks to class, while substitute teachers only received 200 yuan per month and had to eat lunch.
The food was porridge, steamed buns and pickles. I was very sad when I saw this scene, so I made a special trip to the ministry two days ago. Minister Dong has promised to allocate a part of the special school security funds from Canglan Province to us.
We support the construction of rural primary schools in Canglan Province, but the specific amount depends on the statistics of our Canglan Province’s survey report, and Minister Dong also raised serious concerns about the review report submitted by our Canglan Province a few years ago.
criticism, so I think this year's approval report must arouse our great attention, which is related to how much money we can approve from the ministry." After saying this, Liu Fei's face became serious and cold.
He glanced at Guo Dongbao, Director of the Department of Education.
