Chapter 2890

However, the Premier must also be very difficult, right? If a large portion of these millions of minban teachers were converted to public teachers, the annual fiscal expenditure would increase by tens of billions. What a terrible number this was!

And this was something that almost all provinces and cities in the country had done by coincidence. If the lid were completely lifted, what should be done? Wouldn't that shock the whole country?

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was he causing trouble for the Premier? The Premier was already so tired every day, yet he was still causing trouble for him?

However, Su Xinghui immediately remembered the helplessness in the eyes of those minban teachers, and he made up his mind again. He couldn't manage other places, but for those minban teachers in Baozhou City, he must help them.

Premier Nan said, "This matter is indeed very unfair to these minban teachers!"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, they have dedicated their whole lives to the educational cause. What they received is completely disproportionate to their dedication, but now they have been dismissed in one fell swoop like this. This is really too unfair to them."

Premier Nan said, "Actually, when the country formulated this policy, the original intention was good. It was hoped that those excellent minban teachers would be converted to public teachers. In order to fear that the people below would delay, a time limit was set. Who knew that such a situation would occur? No, actually we should have thought that such a situation would occur long ago."

A self-reproachful expression appeared on Premier Nan's face. Su Xinghui quickly said, "Premier, your policy is indeed good, but the people below did not execute it well. This cannot be blamed on you."

Premier Nan said, "We did not consider the fiscal pressure below. In such a short period of time, adding so many public teachers at once, the fiscal pressure is indeed too great. The people below also have their own difficulties!"

Premier Nan usually showed his iron-fisted side in front of the public, but now he rarely showed another side, expressing understanding for the people below.

Su Xinghui did not answer, he just listened quietly.

Premier Nan asked, "Then what do you plan to do about this matter?"

Su Xinghui said, "We intend to correct the minban teachers who were dismissed without meeting the dismissal standards, and give them another chance to take the exam. If they pass the exam, they can be converted to public status."

Premier Nan said, "Then you don't have fiscal pressure?"

Su Xinghui said, "Now the economy of our Baozhou is quite promising, especially the shareholding reform of those state-owned enterprises in Baozhou City is relatively successful. The municipal finance department has less burden but has increased a lot of financial resources, so the fiscal situation this year will be much better. In addition, I also got a subsidy fund from the province."

Premier Nan asked with some surprise, "Who gave you the subsidy fund?"

Su Xinghui said, "It is Governor Wang Guoxiong, the governor in charge of culture, education, and health in our province. He promised to help us subsidize 30% to 40% of the first-year wage expenditure for those teachers converted to public status."

Premier Nan pondered, "Comrade Guoxiong promised it, huh? This is not a small amount. Why was he willing to promise it so readily? Is he not afraid that other cities will also come to him for subsidies?"

Premier Nan knew that for such things, generally speaking, the province would be too late to cover the lid, so how could it agree to help Baozhou with subsidies? And the province must treat everyone equally. It would be unreasonable to give subsidies to Baozhou but not to other cities.

Su Xinghui then told Premier Nan the idea he gave to Wang Guoxiong. Premier Nan said, "You really have some ghost ideas!"

Premier Nan's tone seemed very gratified. Su Xinghui had never disappointed him. Su Xinghui was equivalent to using his own efforts to solve this problem of minban teachers in Baozhou, which would not cause big turmoil, allowing Premier Nan to free up his hands to slowly solve this problem.

It couldn't be said that it was completely solved, but at least he could re-issue some policies to tilt toward those excellent minban teachers who had already been dismissed, allowing them to regain the opportunity to be converted to public status.

As long as they were helped to be converted to public status in stages and batches, with the improvement of the economy, the fiscal pressure would not be too great.

For example, setting a threshold, letting the first batch of dismissed minban teachers who have taught for a certain number of years or have won certain honors participate in the exam for conversion to public status, and then setting a threshold for the second batch. In this way, in several batches, those excellent minban teachers could be gradually converted to public status.

After hearing the actual situation below, Premier Nan immediately thought of many ways to solve this problem, which could solve the problem without causing too much turmoil.

If the lid were lifted all at once, the turmoil caused by this was something Premier Nan himself was unwilling to see.

It is not so easy to be an upright official in a play. To poke everything out without regard for anything is not the way of a mature politician; that is a fool. If such a person is in a high position like Premier Nan, sooner or later, he will make a country a mess.

Premier Nan must have trade-offs in doing things.

Su Xinghui said, "I was also forced to have no other way, so I came up with this method."

Premier Nan said, "You did very well. Then you came to see me today, what do you want me to help you do?"

Su Xinghui said, "First, I want the Premier to support me. Now I want to engage in a national fitness system in Baozhou, and I also want to engage in a village-level reading room project in all the villages in the city. These all require a large amount of funds. Originally, the funds were enough, but once the matter of minban teachers came out, it was not enough."

Premier Nan laughed and scolded, "You have set your sights on me."

Su Xinghui smiled.

Premier Nan said, "Alright, you can let your province report a pilot project for national fitness and village-level reading rooms. We can allocate a project fund to your pilot city. This fund is earmarked and can only be used for the pilot project. You must watch it well."

Su Xinghui was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Premier!"

Premier Nan allocated such a project fund, which made the fiscal pressure on Baozhou City even smaller, and this matter could also be satisfactorily resolved.

Premier Nan asked, "Then what else do you have?"

Su Xinghui said, "Our Governor Wang feels that he also has to bear leadership responsibility for the problem of minban teachers, so he entrusted me to come and admit a mistake to the leader."

Premier Nan snorted, "He didn't dare to see me himself, so he let you see me. He is quite cunning. However, I also understand his difficulties. You just tell him to try his best to solve the work of minban teachers in Yanbei Province well in these few years. If it is solved well, there is merit; if it is not solved well, I will still have to beat him."

Premier Nan actually had no intention of pursuing anyone's responsibility from the beginning. The whole country was doing it this way, so whose responsibility could be pursued? Since Wang Guoxiong entrusted Su Xinghui to say it, he just went with the flow, letting Su Xinghui do Wang Guoxiong a favor. In the future, Wang Guoxiong would definitely support Su Xinghui's work even more.

Su Xinghui said, "Premier, thank you!"

Su Xinghui certainly understood Premier Nan's thoughts. This was actually a kind of support for himself, so he must thank Premier Nan.

Premier Nan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! Just do your work well."

Su Xinghui then got up and said, "Premier, then I won't disturb you. Take care of your health!"
