"How can these stamps be cashed in? Who will accept them?" Fan Lili raised her head and asked.

Liu Yan paused and then said: "You still remember the old man we met on the train from Ningcheng to Yanjing after the Spring Festival in 1978, right?"

"Are you talking about the old man from Yongfeng whose wallet was stolen on the train that night?"

"Yes! That's him, his name is Zhang Yuntian. He is a famous postal dealer in China in the 21st century. His address in Liulichang, Xicheng District, Yanjing, was a very famous antique and cultural relics shop in his previous life."

"You mean, sell him the stamps?"

"Yes! Sell it to him at the current market price."

"How do you know he'll accept it?"

"During this special period, people like Zhang Yuntian have long sensed the next round of price increases and the postal market wave. They usually hoard in large quantities and cannot take out anything."

"How do you plan to arrange the money after it is cashed out?"

“After cashing out, first pay back all the money you borrowed from your family, including the principal plus the interest that was agreed upon in advance.

I calculated that in more than four years, these stamps made about a million dollars."

"Ah! So many?" Fan Lili sat up in surprise and stared at Liu Yan with her mouth open.

Seeing this, Liu Yan smiled and hugged her into his arms again: "This is not all our money. I told you before that I want to do something meaningful."

Fan Lili snuggled into Liu Yan's arms: "Well, you said you would tell me..."

"A special investment similar to a public welfare undertaking."

"Public welfare?"

"Yes! I will establish the first experimental base in Yongfeng County.

After those stamps are cashed in, I will set up a company in Yongfeng County that specializes in educational poverty alleviation. I have already thought of a name, called Yinghe Education Investment Company.

The main business direction of this enterprise is to invest, build and manage rural schools and support the development of rural schools."

"You want to start a school?"

"It's not just running a school in the simple sense. I plan to establish a group of nine-year compulsory education model schools in two to three counties in Huaining City in the eight years from our university graduation to the 1990s to solve local problems.

The issue of nine-year compulsory education for children from poor families.”

"You've been talking for so long, is this the purpose of your work at the grassroots level?"

Liu Yan nodded: "I can't say it's all, but the main purpose."

"Liu Yan, have you ever thought about how difficult this job is!"

"It is not too difficult for us to realize this plan. First we need to have money, and we have already made full preparations in this regard.

Secondly, there must be policy support. I have communicated with my father about this matter. I estimate that it will not be a big problem to move from the province to the city to the county. I just need to be free from constraints in the process of establishing the company and executing the plan.

That’s it.

It can be said that we have met these two basic conditions, and the next step is to implement them."

"When do you plan to start?"

"About this time next year, that is to say, before we graduate from university, we must establish this enterprise in Yongfeng County.

Due to the nature of this enterprise as a private enterprise, it is impossible for public officials to directly participate in management in the future. Therefore, we must find suitable and reliable people to manage this money."

"Who can do this job?"

I thought about it for a long time and felt that Jianguo and Jianming were the most suitable. I planned to let one of them quit the bamboo factory and serve as the legal representative of Yinghe Company to prepare for the establishment of the company.

In the early stage, the first nine-year compulsory education school will be established in Yuanping Village through a joint venture with Tianyuan Bamboo Factory, controlled by Yinghe Company."

"Build a joint venture school with Tianyuan Bamboo Factory?! Oh my god! It seems that the original Yuanping Bamboo Factory was the first chess piece you laid for this game after your rebirth?"

Liu Yan chuckled: "In my previous life, I dared to think and do everything, and I was ahead of others in everything. After being reborn in this life, I have such a good foresight advantage, why not make good use of it? Besides, this is beneficial to the country and the people.

good thing.

I started thinking about the idea of ​​poverty alleviation through education on the first day I was born again.

Do you still remember the day after we received the certificates? That morning, I went to the brigade headquarters and talked with your dad all morning, and he also confirmed my thoughts on rural schools." Liu Yan then sighed and continued: "

We returned to Yuanping before the National Day last year, which prompted me to speed up the pace of this matter."

"I returned to Yuanping before the National Day last year. What happened?"

“I thought this question was too simple at first! With the opening of the Yuanping Highway and the development of the bamboo factory, I thought that the Yuanping School would be established within two years.

But your dad told me that the main reason why it has not been built yet is the issue of teachers’ salaries.

The growth brigade can only pay the wages of private teachers according to the work points of the members, and cannot pay them in the form of wages.

As a result, it will be impossible to attract good teachers.”

"This is a management mechanism issue. Why the Yuanping Bamboo Factory was finally handed over to Tianyuan Commune for management was not to solve the same problem," Fan Lili said.

“Education and health are different from enterprises, especially education, which is a public welfare undertaking.

If teachers cannot enjoy the same treatment as teachers in county and town-level schools, or even higher incentives, no one will be willing to teach in rural schools.

Without capable teachers, rural schools are just empty shells in name only.”

"I understand, so you want to build this private enterprise as soon as possible."

"Yes, if this business is established, the situation will be different.

The management mechanism of private enterprises is relatively flexible, and we can learn from the running methods of private schools in advanced developed countries.

Not only can rural school teachers be given high wages, differential subsidies, and medical subsidies to improve their welfare, but it can also stimulate their enthusiasm for teaching.

As long as the nine-year compulsory education project can be successfully implemented in Huaining City, the 1,000 versions of monkey tickets in our hands can be used to great effect.

After all those stamps are cashed in, a nationwide education poverty alleviation fund can be established based on Yinghe Education Poverty Alleviation Company.

Coupled with the model schools we have built, we can attract external funds to vigorously promote rural school projects throughout Huaining City and even Jiangning Province.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. This is the philosophy that I, Liu Yan, have always adhered to in my work.

To completely change the backwardness of China's rural areas and the fate of farmers, we must provide them with education, not material things.

Giving them material things is not called helping, it is harming them. It can only encourage them to reach out for clothes and open their mouths for food, get something for nothing, not think about progress, and covet the bad habits of comfort.

Only by bringing them culture and knowledge and letting them know how to use their knowledge to create wealth can they enjoy their lives for generations to come.

Only in this way can we truly narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and achieve the goal of narrowing the gap between mental labor and physical labor."

"It's like setting up the bamboo factory back then. What you and Haiyang did was actually pass on, help, guide, teach the eldest brother, second brother and Huang Jinggang how to do it, lead them on the road, help them onto their horses, and then escort them for the rest of the journey."

"Yes! Nearly 80% of China's population is rural. The key to whether the overall quality of China's population can be improved is the improvement of the quality of these 80% of the population. Therefore, China's rural poverty alleviation work has a long way to go. And for China

Among the rural poverty alleviation work, the most far-reaching impact is education poverty alleviation.”

The mind and pattern of a generation...
