The four of them had been arrested, leaving only Fang Xianmin, the head of the Education Department. He was one of the few high-ranking officials in the county government who was not corrupt.
The purpose of calling him here was not to arrest him, but to discuss education with him.
Fang Xianmin saw that they had been taken away and said to Han Bin with a happy expression,""Congratulations, county head. Without these corrupt officials, I believe that the county head will be able to achieve great things again!”
He had always been uncomfortable with these people. However, he was only the Education Section Chief and did not have much say in the county government. In addition, he had been depressed after coming to Lu 'an.
Han Bin shook his head slightly." Great ambitions are all empty talk. Only the truth is real." There are still many things waiting for me to do in the county government.”
After saying that, he looked at Fang Xianmin up and down for a while before asking with a smile,"I heard that Section Chief Fang returned from studying in America?”
Speaking of this, the light in Fang Xianmin's eyes gradually dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said,"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, county head. Although I've returned from studying in America, I can only laze around in Lu 'an.”
Han Bin wasn't surprised. Although there weren't that many people studying abroad in this era, there were actually quite a few. The children of rich families, if their parents were slightly more open-minded, would send their children abroad to study.
However, not everyone who returned from studying abroad would be valued by the government. Because of the rigid system and complicated human affairs, people like Fang Xianmin who had no background could only muddle through the days.
They also wanted to rise up, but unfortunately, they had no backing and no one in the court. Most of them who had returned from studying abroad were not good at the ways of the world, and they could not put down their face to flatter.
Therefore, they could only get a job, and their ambitions from back then were also obliterated in the ups and downs of the official world.
"Section Chief Fang, you didn't have a chance before, but now the opportunity to make a grand plan is in front of you. Now, the county suppressed the landlord, restored the grain price, and took in corrupt officials.
On the industrial side, machines and equipment were also being shipped in endlessly, and all kinds of talents were gathering. Do you think the county will let go of education?”
These words made Fang Xianmin's eyes light up. Thinking about it carefully, the new county head didn't look like someone who only knew how to make money.
He had done so many things in just a few days after taking office in Lu 'an. It was obvious that he was an ambitious person.
After Fang Xianmin returned to the country, he thought that the reason why the country was so weak was because of the lack of education. Only by flourishing education and cultivating talents could the country revitalize, so he immediately said,"I'm not talented. I wasted my time in the past. I'm not ashamed of being reborn. If the county magistrate thinks highly of me, I'm willing to work hard!”
"Haha! Section Chief Fang, come sit down and talk! I'll tell you the truth! The county was preparing to promote education in the entire county, opening a large number of primary schools, middle schools, and even universities.
Moreover, a literacy class would be set up in every village and town. Anyone under the age of 50 in the entire county could enthusiastically sign up for the literacy class. In the entire county, those who were above five and below twenty-two years old had to enter school to study. Even young people who were twenty-two years old had to enter school. They did not have to learn much knowledge, but they had to be literate!”
Han Bin walked back to his seat and took out a document from the drawer and threw it to Fang Xianmin.
Han Bin had already planned for education before he came to Lu 'an. In his plan, if all walks of life wanted to develop, they could not do without the support of talents.
Moreover, if the common people could read and write, it would be very beneficial to the development of society.
Fang Xianmin took Han Bin's document and looked at it with some doubt. However, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
Fang Xianmin looked at Han Bin in disbelief and asked,"County Head, are you really going to do this?”
Han Bin could not help but laugh when he saw his expression."Fang Xianmin, you're a turtle after all. Such an expression doesn't fit your character. If you don't do these things, do you think this county is free to write for fun?”
Fang Xianmin calmed himself down and looked at Han Bin,""County Head, as the Education Section Chief, I would naturally be happy if I really did this, but I would need a lot of money. The county government's finances might not be able to support it. After all, other than education, there were other expenses!”
"Who told you that the money would be paid from the county's treasury?" Han Bin shook his head slightly. I will establish the Red Star Culture and Education Company. All the schools will be under the name of the Red Star Group. The teachers 'salaries, school desks, and books will all be paid by the Red Star Group.
As for the students having lunch at school, it was simple. They could bring some rice and noodles from home to school to pay, or they could use money. If the students were from poor families, they could also work part-time.
Moreover, not all schools were free. Only primary, middle, and high schools were free. After entering university, you also need to pay tuition fees. However, most of the people in our country are in poverty.
More than 95% of the families could not afford it, so the county was preparing to set up student loans and tuition exemption policies for outstanding students. Students who were admitted to university and had poor families could apply for student loans. They would work after graduation to earn money and slowly repay them.
If the student's results were excellent, they could attend university for free, but they needed to sign an employment agreement with the Red Star Group. After graduation, they could work at the Red Star Group.”
Fang Xianmin was even more shocked when he heard Han Bin's words. He looked at Han Bin in disbelief and asked,"County Head, is what you said true? Free universal education? Student loans? Is this true?"
As a sea turtle, he was used to seeing the county magistrate who only knew how to make money after returning to China. This was the first time he saw Han Bin do this, and the shock in his heart could not be greater!
"Otherwise, do you think I'm joking with you? In addition to these, the literacy classes set up in the villages and towns were also free. The literacy classes were divided into day classes and night classes. The people who signed up did not need to pay any money.
They only needed to spend two hours a day in the literacy class to learn how to read. In order to motivate the people to learn, I'm also preparing to make a rule in the Red Star Group.
Any citizen who participated in the literacy class would be given priority when applying for a job at the Red Star Group!”
The content that Han Bin threw out shocked Fang Xianmin completely. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, Fang Xianmin stood up and bowed to Han Bin,""County Head, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in this county, on behalf of the thousands of children and youths in this county, I thank you! The people of Lu 'an County will forever remember you!”
Fang Xianmin had never been so hopeful about the future. Once education was popularized, Lu 'an County would not only be a major grain producing county, but also a major education county. When Red Star Group's industry developed, it would also become a major industrial county. He knew that the people of Lu' an were blessed!
He didn't know how many generations of merit the people of Lu 'an had accumulated in exchange for such a good county magistrate who profited for the people.
"Alright! I'm the county head of Lu 'an County. I have to do my job. This is what I should do. I called you here today to let you carry out this matter.
You will be responsible for recruiting teachers from the public, setting up literacy classes, building schools, and hiring Mandarin teachers. As for the other math teachers, physics teachers, chemistry teachers, biology teachers, etc., the county has a way!”
He had set up Red Star Culture and Education Company, and the system would provide cloned teachers, but Han Bin also wanted to give the people a way out. They also wanted to provide some jobs for some people, so they recruited Mandarin teachers from the public.
Only math teachers would use clones. This way, it could also drive employment and economic development! Of course, he still had a big economic development plan behind him.
"County Head, don't worry. I'm thirty-six years old and have been living in the chaos for the past few years. Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, I, Fang Xianmin, will definitely complete the task you have given me. If I, Fang Xianmin, can't complete the task, not only will I be ashamed of the county magistrate's trust, but I will also be ashamed of the hopes of the people.
How can our virtuous people still have the face to live in this world? At that time, I can only die to apologize and repay the county magistrate's kindness!”
Fang Xianmin walked away after he finished speaking. His heart was filled with ambition. He swore that even if he died of exhaustion at his post, he would do the task that Han Bin had given him. This was Han Bin's trust in him and the expectations of the people!
