Chapter 226 "Night School" and "Spiritual Civilization"

Liu Fusheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will form this construction team. I don't believe it. Building a building can be more difficult than our guerrilla warfare in the western part of Beijing."

Liu Zhiye was delighted when he heard this. His brother-in-law Liu Fusheng was a serious person. If he devoted himself to the construction business, with the help of the "Yangshi Lei" clan, he would surely succeed.

He looked at the third uncle Liu Yuanhai, who also smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "This is a good idea. I fully agree that Fusheng should be the construction team leader.

The militia in our village is of high quality, and always performs the best in the district's competitions. This is all thanks to Fusheng. The commune wanted to transfer him to the armed forces department as deputy director, but he refused. "

"What I am worried about now is that there are too many projects to manage. Over the past year or so, we have done a lot of things, including raising livestock and crabs, planting Chinese herbs, rice, and fruit trees, building primary schools and roads, and also launching building material factories, construction teams, tap water, and Chinese medicine education.

The task is heavy and it may be difficult to manage. "The third uncle expressed his doubts.

Liu Zhiye nodded to show his agreement with the third uncle's statement. Liujiazhuang does have a small population and limited talent, most of whom are illiterate old farmers. It is indeed difficult to assign them specific tasks because of their limited abilities.

There are only a few capable people, but with so many things to do, they are often overwhelmed and unable to keep up with management.

Liu Zhiye was also scratching his head. This was not the same as the past, when college students were worse off than dogs and masters were everywhere. It could be said that this was an era when talented people were plentiful.

In those days, a junior high school graduate was considered highly educated, and someone with only an elementary school education could work in a factory (not referring to job assignments), but the vast majority of people were illiterate.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, 80% of people born before the s and s were illiterate. In some populous counties, there was less than one high school, and the number of high school students was only a few hundred.

People with high school diplomas are absolutely in high demand in local areas, and they will surely become cadres after graduation.

People with junior high school or high school education generally have jobs assigned by the state in today's era and do not need to find jobs on their own. Generally speaking, graduating from junior high school is already a relatively high level of education and most of them will enter state-owned factories or government agencies.

Therefore, talents are scarce. People with a little education will choose to go to the city to eat public food and get a stable job. Only fools will return to the village to work.

Liu Zhiye knew the importance of cultural knowledge, so he did his best to support the academic studies of the Liu family. He understood that knowledge is the cornerstone of changing one's destiny and the key to improving one's personal qualities.

Liu Zhiye said with deep feeling: "We have to run a school."

The third uncle was a little puzzled, "What type of school?"

"Let's open a night school!" Liu Zhiye said seriously. Then he said, "Now the whole country has launched a vigorous literacy campaign, and our village cannot fall behind."

“Night schools in other places mainly teach people to read and write, so that they can understand books and newspapers.

But my idea is that our night schools should be more formal. Everyone should learn formal cultural education step by step, just like in school.

In the future, this school can not only learn basic cultural knowledge, but also professional technical knowledge, such as traditional Chinese medicine, construction engineering, agriculture and animal husbandry, water conservancy, machinery, etc.

Cultivating a large number of knowledgeable and cultured management or technical talents is the key to the development of our business. With the addition of many cultured talents, our business can move to a higher level. "

After hearing what he said, Uncle Sanye and the others finally understood his good intentions. It turned out that he attached so much importance to education in the village, and everything he did was to cultivate talents and improve the overall quality of the villagers.

Uncle Sanda and others also understand the importance of talents. Just look at the example of Liu Zhiye. If he didn’t have knowledge and culture, how could he know so many principles and how could he lead everyone to achieve such good results?
My brother-in-law Liu Fusheng then asked, "If you want to run a night school, teachers are the key. Where do the teachers come from?" He frowned, thinking about this question.

Liu Zhiye responded with a smile: "Don't the village primary schools have ready-made teachers?"

Liu Fusheng frowned and said, "They are teachers assigned by the district, we can't control them.

Besides, they are already exhausted from teaching children during the day, so how can they be willing to teach adults at night?"

Liu Zhiye pondered for a moment and said, “Teachers are also human beings, they also have needs.

We can give some additional compensation appropriately, and if the individual really doesn't want to, we don't have to force it.

Life is not easy nowadays, and I believe that most people would be willing to have an extra income. As for the specific approach, we can handle it flexibly according to the actual situation. "

When everyone heard this, they felt that Liu Zhiye was right and nodded in unison.

Lei Laoliu has already integrated into Liujiazhuang. He offered a suggestion: "Actually, there is another way. I wonder if I should tell you."

Liu Zhiye smiled and encouraged, "You can talk about it!" With Liu Zhiye's encouragement, Lei Laoliu's confidence increased greatly. He continued, "In fact, we can also regularize them! Let them become citizens of our Liujia Village. Then, they will contribute to their own village, so isn't that what they should get?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Hi! You know what, this method is feasible! Lao Lei is right. You see, many teachers stay in a primary school for many years, and some even for their entire lives.

Their families had to come and live with them, because they were all from outside the area and did not have their own houses in the village, so they could only live in dormitories.

If we promise them naturalization and housing, and if their families can work in our village with peace of mind, I think many of them will be tempted.

Moreover, as far as the living conditions in our village are concerned, although the environment may not be as prosperous as that in the city, there are some aspects that are even better than the city.

These people are all intellectuals and high-end talents, which is very beneficial to improving the cultural literacy of our village."

After hearing this, the third uncle nodded happily: "It's easy to get naturalized! Our village has plenty of land, and we have our own construction team and brick factory. We can build as many houses as we want. It's not a big deal. As for work, it's easy to get it. What we lack now is labor."

"Another situation is that many teachers' family members actually have a certain cultural foundation. They know a little bit about math and drawing, and we just happen to need such talents."

The third uncle pondered for a moment, feeling uneasy, and he stood up and said, "I'll ask Principal Zhou to come over and talk to us."

Liu Zhiye looked into the distance and saw Principal Zhou and Liu Jingzhai chatting and laughing. He nodded and agreed to the third uncle's proposal.

After a while, Principal Zhou came over with the third uncle.

Liu Zhiye smiled and asked him to sit down and said that Principal Zhou and they were all familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite.

So Liu Zhiye told Principal Zhou the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Principal Zhou slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Hey! Isn't that a coincidence? We thought of the same thing."

"That's what happened..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye and others looked at each other, thinking it was really a coincidence that they dozed off and hit the pillow.

Since Liujiazhuang's business has flourished, some teachers who come here to teach have seen the sharp contrast between the living conditions in the village and the situation outside.

They found that the living conditions here were much better than those of some people in the city, and they were very envious.

The gap between this village and the outside world makes people sigh at the tranquility and beauty here.

Soon someone had the idea of ​​moving his entire family into this village, so he went to Principal Zhou and asked for his help.

At first, Principal Zhou agreed, but later other teachers made similar requests, and Principal Zhou felt a little embarrassed.

It would be okay if he was alone, he could barely save his face and ask for a favor to get the matter done; but with so many people asking for naturalization, he felt that he didn't have that much face.

Now, Liujiazhuang has taken the initiative to propose that the school teachers become citizens of their village. How could this not make Principal Zhou overjoyed!

So naturally, a new chapter was added to the future of Liujiazhuang.

During the day, people are busy sweating in the sun; at night, they have no time to spare and devote themselves to cultural knowledge training.

Liu Zhiye sighed: The task ahead is not easy! The village has to form a construction team, build a brick and tile factory, and create a traditional Chinese medicine research base. These are all big things.

In addition, they also have to run night schools, expand the scale of rice field breeding, plant fruit trees and Chinese herbal medicines, and connect tap water.

In the village, these tasks require a lot of time and energy from the villagers to succeed. In order to achieve these goals, all villagers, young and old, have to work twice as hard.

Liu Zhiye knows very well that success cannot be achieved overnight, but requires accumulation of time and unremitting efforts.

He chose to lay a solid foundation. Only in this way could the future "building" of "Liu" be built higher and higher and withstand the test of storms.
