Su Cheng listened to Yang Lin's analysis and nodded slightly."Chief Yang, you're right. The two questions you raised hit the nail on the head.”
"That is the problem of money. With money, we can build a school, hire teachers, and maintain the daily operations of the school!”
The compulsory education required the county government to pay for the education of children of the right age. Otherwise, how could the poor peasants have the money to go to school?
This was not a small expenditure.
Yang Lin nodded." County Head, there's no problem with what you said. It's indeed a problem of money. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."”
"You don't have to worry about money. I'll solve it!"”
"In other words, I'll invest in the construction of the school!”
Now that Sucheng had invested a huge sum of money to build schools, these schools belonged to Sucheng's personal property and not to the Jiading County government.
To put it in a more fashionable way, these newly built schools were all private schools. The owners of these private schools were all from Sucheng!
Su Cheng wasn't a fool. Spending money must be rewarded.
At the very least, he had to get his own business!
"Chief Yang, you're mainly supervising two things right now!" Su Cheng looked at Yang Lin and said.”
"First, build schools. I need to build 10 primary schools and 10 middle schools in Jiading County in the shortest time possible. I want to ensure that there are three primary schools and two middle schools in each town.”
"The second is to recruit teachers. We've built so many new schools, so there must be a huge shortage of teachers. So what you have to do is to go to the nearby county or Shanghai to recruit teachers!”
"As for money, that's not a problem!”
Yang Lin couldn't believe Su Cheng's words. He asked for confirmation again and said,"Is there really no problem with the county head?"
He knew the financial situation of the county government.
Su Zheng patted his chest." No problem. Money is definitely not a problem. I'll settle it!"”
After receiving Su Cheng's affirmative answer, Yang Lin said excitedly,"Good county head, your words are enough!”
"I'll immediately arrange for the staff in the bureau to start supervising these two major matters!”
Su Cheng: " Alright, we have to be quick. We have to build schools and hire good teachers as soon as possible so that the children of the common people in Jiading County can go to school!”
"Yes!"
After that, Su Cheng, Yang Lin, and the other members of the Education Bureau discussed compulsory education and school construction.
The meeting lasted for another three to four hours.
The entire time, they were discussing Jiading County's hundred-year plan.
After the relevant projects and matters were finalized, it was handed over to the Education Bureau.
Su Cheng was in charge of investing.
This was the power of money!
Yang Lin, the newly appointed Director of the Education Bureau, also needed a chance to showcase his abilities. This was a good opportunity, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.
After that, Yang Lin started to set up a special team to supervise the establishment of the school and the recruitment of teachers.
The cement, steel, and gravel needed to build the school could be provided by the company in Sucheng.
For example, sand and gravel could be provided by Dongming Mining Development Co., Ltd. These were all mineral resources.
Of course, the construction of the school was not done overnight.
This required planning, design, and verification.
All of this required time.
At the same time, Dongming Mining Development Co., Ltd. and Donghai Power Company were also busy recruiting.
However, due to the limited population of Jiading County, it would be a little difficult to recruit a full number of people.
After all, the Dunshi cement plant, Baosteel iron and steel plant, etc. had recruited a lot of people. In addition, Jiading County's infrastructure construction needed workers, and the dock construction needed workers.
Therefore, Dongming Mining Development Co., Ltd. and Donghai Electric Power Company could only hire a limited number of suitable personnel.
It was 1927, and the entire Shanghai had a population of about 3.2 million people. Among them, the population of Jiading County was only about 300,000.
Among these thirty people, other than the old, weak, sick, women, and children, the real labor force was very limited.
In addition to the land reform in Jiading County, a part of the labor force was needed to divide the land to each household.
Under such circumstances, Dongming Mining Development Co., Ltd. and Donghai Electric Power Company only recruited a few people and immediately started production…
