Chapter 1314: Year-End Assembly (Part 11)

However, there were only a few teachers present at the scene; they belonged to the representative group of the teaching profession, and for them, these policies were a bit too high-level and distant, so they could not yet understand the impact of these policies on them.

Baifeng tapped the tabletop, drawing everyone's attention back: "Apart from the Advanced School, next year, the construction of Intermediate Schools must be fully rolled out in all towns. For those without an Intermediate School, select sites for construction. Once they are built, the Ministry of Education must handle the deployment of teaching resources."

For places that already have an Intermediate School, check the number of teachers at the school to see if they can be adjusted to other towns, and further clarify the transfer system for students between different schools.

The last item is the construction of Primary Schools in every village in Lema City, which must also be fully rolled out next year.

Huaxia City currently does not have village-level units, but they will certainly develop; this is a future trend of development, which will later lead to some policy arrangements for the Ministry of Revenue and Public Security. After the Public Security report is finished later, I will make arrangements."

Baifeng pointed a finger: "Cheng, next year in Lema City, you must build a branch of the Ministry of Education. It will be your subordinate unit, specifically responsible for matters such as school construction in Lema City. Now, the planning of Lema City is already better than that of Huaxia City, so next year you must focus on Lema City. Do you understand?"

Cheng immediately expressed his stance solemnly: "No problem, King, I will definitely work hard to build and coordinate."

Afterward, he began to record important items in his notebook. In Winter, students are on winter break and teachers should be resting, but they cannot rest because there are too many things to do. Just the annual printing of textbooks, student statistics, and so on, are all major matters.

Yu had not yet given his report. His main requests had long been told to Baifeng, and now Baifeng had basically resolved most of them at these stages. When it was time for his report, he only needed to talk about the current development situation of Lema City and the overall plan for next year.

The time for the Ministry of Public Security's report had arrived. They were mainly reporting on the household registration statistics and crime handling data for Huaxia this year.

Because a large number of immigrants enter Huaxia every year, they know almost nothing about the laws of Huaxia and still retain some previous barbaric behaviors. In their view, these are reasonable and have no problems, but under the laws of Huaxia, they are illegal.

However, because the numbers are too large and the behaviors are too common, it is difficult to handle them, especially regarding issues between men and women. The Household Policy needs to be pushed, but they did not have such ideas before, and now that the children are grown, making them reorganize their families is truly a very difficult task.

Today, they had already asked Baifeng for instructions: regarding these special problems, should they be strictly cracked down upon and punished, using violence to intimidate and suppress them?

They themselves did not want to, because if they did, the workload would be too great, the prisons and detention centers would be completely insufficient, and it would seriously affect normal production and life, and the Court would not be able to process all the cases.

Therefore, the opinion Baifeng gave was: for those who have lived in Huaxia for more than five years, after committing a crime, there will be no leniency, and they will be dealt with strictly according to the law.

For those who have lived in Huaxia for more than three years but less than five, they will be punished lightly.

For those who have lived in Huaxia for less than three years, for minor crimes, education will be the priority, especially regarding issues of relationships between men and women; they must conduct advocacy and guidance, and carry out work to rectify the social atmosphere nationwide.

Those who have just joined Huaxia, even after forming a family, still do not care much about the behavior between men and women; if their own woman goes to sleep at another man's house, the man has no thoughts about it, because he himself also finds other women to sleep with.

Some people from tribes who came over would even engage in acts in public without any concealment or avoidance; when the weather was hot in the Summer, walking around completely naked was also common.

These behaviors violate the law, but those people do not know at all that such a thing as law exists, and even think that managing the mating behavior of humans is not reasonable—it is complete nonsense.

If they are left to continue like this, it will be a serious blow to the implementation of Baifeng's Household Policy and will corrupt the atmosphere of the entire country. Therefore, the people from the Ministry of Public Security must frequently conduct patrols, contract work by zones, and frequently go deep among the masses to promote policies and explain the law, mainly to tell them why they cannot do this.

If they are willing to listen, that is best. If they stubbornly refuse to listen, the equipped sticks are not carried for nothing; the branded police batons represent the law to a certain extent.

When it is not yet a situation that requires strict punishment according to the law, it is necessary to use the sticks to carry out physical punishment to let them learn their lesson.

The work done this year has been very effective; at least there is no longer the behavior of visiting others at will or exchanging wives. Sneaky behavior is difficult to discover at any time.

Similarly, the Ministry of Health was advocating for paying attention to personal hygiene. Sending doctors to advocate is a huge waste. Fortunately, their Ministry of Health also recruits Clerks, and after training them, they will go down to various places to advocate.

There are also various jingles to spread the word, letting them keep it in mind at all times. Of course, the most useful thing is to put water with various small bugs in Glass bottles, as well as the Ascaris that have been passed, to show those Residents.

Tell them what the consequences of drinking dirty water are, what the consequences of not washing hands or faces are, and that if they don't brush their teeth, their teeth will all fall out. Such intimidation is the most effective.

Everything must start with children, so starting from Kindergarten, they will be told how to maintain excellent hygiene habits, and then they will be used to drive their parents to pay attention to hygiene in reverse.

For families that are clean and pay attention to hygiene, they will be rewarded; for those who do not pay attention to hygiene and are slovenly at home, they will be reprimanded. If they still don't listen, they will be force-fed medicine. Even though Melia Bark is precious and rare, there is still a portion of the local budget left for health advocacy.

Force-feeding medicine to those who do not pay attention to hygiene and then calling nearby Residents to watch them pass Ascaris together—such a clear and obvious scene is enough to make them honestly wash their hands and drink boiled water.

However, many newcomers come to Huaxia every year, so this kind of work will never end; at least for the next ten years, there will be such tasks.

Now it is contracting by zones, with the Public Security and the Ministry of Health working together. Later, it may be contracting by Village, and performance targets must be arranged, giving fixed tasks. Baifeng has experience in all of this.

Back then, he was also someone who worked at the grassroots level. The annual free physical examinations could be considered a nightmare: various indicators, blood draw rates, infectious disease reporting, basic disease rates, mortality indicators, etc... sometimes he felt speechless.
