Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 352 The Lord’s Decision

"Oh? They decided to increase the number of classes in the night school?" Purficott met with the representative of the Lord's Mansion of the Duplex Federation. After listening to what he relayed about the meeting, he asked curiously: "Then where will they get enough Where’s the teacher?”

This is an issue that even Purficott is concerned about, because this era is not the world before she traveled. In a large eastern country, a brick could hit someone who received nine years of compulsory education and three years of full-time high school education. , and four years of full-time college education.

Even in Langton, which has the largest number of universities in the Empire, the term "college student" is very valuable. Any qualified university graduate in the Empire is an elite talent that society urgently needs.

In fact, in this era, being able to graduate from primary school is considered a high degree of education, but a considerable number of workers are just out of prenatal education.

As for the engineers, the entire group has a sufficient level of education, otherwise they would not be qualified to take the engineer qualification certification exam.

You must know that one of them is to obtain a college diploma, which means you must graduate, not drop out of school.

Under such premise constraints, most of the engineers have a college degree, although this degree is usually not so valuable.

After all, even the top prestigious school in Langton can issue an unworthy diploma for a pricey donation.

Of course, even so, engineers are still capable of teaching a group of illiterate people how to read.

But this money is not the salary for night school teachers, and night school itself does not charge tuition.

"According to Representative Erwin's explanation, he will recruit an additional group of full-time teachers in the city, and at the same time, the night school will be held in three shifts, so that all workers will have the time and opportunity to study in the night school." A representative from the Lord's Palace told Purficott explained.

As for the night school teachers, they are drawn from the engineering community on a voluntary basis. They will receive a subsidy but no salary.

It was precisely because of knowing this that Purficott was curious about where Erwin was going to get enough teachers.

Purficott was not worried about whether this method could solve the problem, but she also asked: "Hire another group of people? Where does the money come from? Does he pay it himself?"

If you are a child, you may not cherish it, but for adults who have experienced social beatings, reading is their dream.

So for engineers, going to night school to be a teacher is a hard job, and people are actually not very willing to do this job.

So if there is an opportunity, no one will give up an opportunity to make progress.

There is a difference between just being willing to do it and having the ability to do it.

The night school was indeed established with the approval of the Lord's Palace, and Purficott also allocated a fund to the Duplex Union for the expenses of the night school.

In fact, this is the key reason why night schools are so full. Who doesn’t want free education?

This question is very important. If Erwin is paying the money himself, then Purficott needs to take a closer look at his purpose.

"No, it's the suppliers and contractors related to the project who took the initiative to donate. The funds, which are not too generous, will be donated to the account of the Duplex Union." The representative of the Lord's Palace answered Purficott. , but did not express any of his subjective opinions.

He clearly knew that when he went to Duplex United to serve as a representative, he was serving as Perfectcott’s eyes to see and ears to listen. He didn't need to express his opinion because Purficott would communicate it to the Duplex through him.

He doesn't need to have his own ideas, because his positioning doesn't require him to have his own ideas.

So he played the role of a mouthpiece and recorder very directly.

Purficott is satisfied with the performance of this representative. She really does not need people in this position to think too much, which will affect her control of the duplex union.

After all, what Purficott wants is for his representative to act impartially in the duplex alliance and maintain the balance of power between the two parties, rather than a thorn in the side whose opinions are too clear, leading to one company becoming dominant or being targeted by both companies. .

As for the vendors and contractors associated with the energy tower project who are willing to pay for night schools and duplexes, that's not good news for Purficott, but it's not bad news either.

At least for Duplex Union, the problem of night school has been successfully solved, and after Duplex Union has money, it can also do other things more conveniently.

But Purficott didn't like this, because the businessmen's donations meant that they noticed the duplex and tried to get their hands on it.

After thinking about it, Purficott said to the representative: "Donations can be accepted, but after accepting the donation, let them list the amount, source, and specific application matters in a table and publish it, including all expenses and consumption, and ask them to do There must be absolute openness and transparency, and there must be no concealment or corruption.

At the same time, it was announced that Duplex United accepts donations from all walks of life. Donors will be awarded a commemorative medal in the name of the Chernobog City Hall... no, in the name of the Lord's Palace as a commendation. "

Purficott did this to minimize the influence of businessmen's donations and prevent them from gradually reaching out to the duplex alliance through donations.

The duplex union was established by itself to balance the relationship between workers and engineers, and it cannot be controlled by businessmen.

With this thought in mind, Purficott naturally had to respond accordingly.

Allowing social donations to be accepted will naturally bring more people into the game, so that the impact of a certain donation can be diluted.

The issuance of commemorative medals can further downplay their so-called "favor" for the Duplex Union. After all, they have already been commended in the name of the Lord's Palace, and it would be rude to make demands on the Duplex Union.

Although this cannot completely cut off the influence of merchants on the Duplex Union, it can at least minimize their influence. In this way, Purficott does not have to worry when extending the Duplex Union to the entire northern border. This institution is controlled by others.

Of course, Purficott could also reject all donations and then use the money from the financial expenditures of the Northern Territory to completely cut off external influence.

But doing so will also be a big expenditure for the Northern Territory's finances, especially now that the Northern Territory's finances are still in deficit.

Why pay for it yourself when you can use other people’s money?

On the other hand, this can be regarded as a disguised way to ease the relationship with the merchants and prevent the relationship between the lord's mansion and the merchants from becoming too tense.
