Chapter 221, Passed
"...In the past two months, the Disciplinary Committee, the Beiqinggu government, and the Demon Hunters have jointly carried out a large-scale anti-counterrevolutionary operation in the Beiqinggu Province."
"This operation investigated the integrity of more than 1,700 farms from the Beigu City Government to the entire province. The total accounted for 20% of the Beiqinggu Province, and a total of 614 farm grassroots managers and other accomplices who committed crimes were arrested. Among them, 99 people were particularly serious and sentenced to death; 515 people were sentenced to varying terms of labor and deprived of all citizenship rights. In addition, 852 people were sentenced to different levels of demotion and deprivation of their positions..."
"In this phase of the operation, the main target of the investigation is the grassroots farms that the local plantation owners of the former Beiqinggu Province converted to when the Mutual Aid Association was reorganized into a provincial government a few months ago."
"According to your policy, the corresponding death row prisoners will be placed in the death row cells and wait for the Servo Skull Workshop and the Servant Workshop to extract the corresponding death row prisoners and execute them."
"In the next phase of the operation, we will further expand the scope and targets of the investigation. It is expected that within two months, we will complete the anti-counterrevolutionary work in the entire Beiqinggu Province."
Gu Hang listened and nodded.
At this moment, there were three people sitting in front of him.
The Alliance's Supreme Judge Lambert Hodgson, the Alliance's Prime Minister Ossena Chenko, and the Governor of the Northern Qinggu Province Jason Morgan.
At the moment, it was Lambert who was making the report on the anti-counterrevolutionary work.
His department is the main responsible department and is responsible for this job. Of course, he has to do the specific reporting work.
In fact, Gu Hang was quite relieved about this.
Lambert has experience doing this.
Back then, when the new alliance was first established, he was quite adept at the cleansing work within Renaissance City. But now, he had more power at his disposal, not only the investigation team of the Disciplinary Committee directly under him, but also the demon hunters with extraordinary abilities, and the full cooperation of the local government forces in Beiqinggu Province.
There's nothing wrong with his strategy.
Since the preliminary investigation results have made it clear that the grassroots managers left over from the old era have the biggest problems, the investigation will naturally start with this group of people.
Gu Hang understood Jason Morgan's previous policies very well. In order to reduce resistance and reduce resistance, the primary goal was to restore agricultural production in Beiqinggu Province. In the early stages, it would be difficult to catch all the landlords who had actually ruled the Beiqinggu region in the past.
What he did has indeed brought great help to the production and construction of Beiqing Valley in the past few months.
Production has been quickly restored, reclamation work has been smoothly advanced, and the resistance to local transformation into grassroots governments is within an acceptable range...
Moreover, it must be said that the wealthy plantation owners in the past were indeed quite good in terms of their average ability. Just look at Ossena, a girl from the plantation owner class, who was raised in wealth and received a complete education since childhood.
It's not just about literacy, but also about calculation, accounting, grammar, management... From all aspects, these people are the elite class in the Qinggu area. In terms of ability, they are indeed stronger than the serf class with a relatively low level of education.
If Jason Morgan wants to rule effectively in the short term, facing an environment with a population of six million and three million square kilometers, he actually has no choice.
The same thing happened to Gu Hang. When he first recovered Fuxing City, he carried out a lot of cleansing operations to establish his authority, but in the end, didn't he still have to use the intellectuals, engineers, and businessmen of Fuxing City to rule?
However, it is indeed time to sweep those historical problems into the trash.
Lambert Hodgson's cleanup operation was ruthless. A total of more than 1,700 farms were checked, more than 600 were arrested, and more than 800 were dealt with.
It's not to the point where there are too many heads rolling, but the force is still strong.
During this whole campaign of anti-counterrevolutionaries, some former elites did stand the test. They were not found guilty of any crime or only had minor problems, which were not serious; they also had a good reputation among the people.
This is quite gratifying.
After all, not all of them are garbage.
If we really want to wipe out all the elites of the old era, we really can’t make up for it.
Of course, the current strength is almost enough.
…
After Lambert finished talking about the purge itself, it was the turn of the two administrators, Ossena and Jason Morgan, to talk about their stories.
The first is that so many people were dealt with in the anti-counterrevolutionary campaign, and the question is how to make up for it.
This is where the cultural and educational departments need to take action.
Ossena provided a lot of help to Jason Morgan. She had recently deployed a large number of graduates from the Comprehensive College to the Beiqinggu Province.
Now, graduates from various colleges are in great demand. Local governments in the alliance are in great need of Fuxing City to provide a large number of talents to fill the reconstruction work of governments at all levels.
The comprehensive college of the alliance has cultivated a large number of talents in various disciplines during this period of time.
The word "talent" needs to be put in quotation marks.
Because the training time is too short, the ability of these talents is still questionable.
Although the Alliance's Ministry of Culture and Education has established a relatively complete education system in Fuxing City and Weixing City, covering all aspects of vocational education, technical education, and comprehensive education, the time is still too short, and the children who receive education cannot grow up overnight.
The only thing they can do is to provide short-term, intensive knowledge training in adult education, and then release them immediately to their posts to make contributions.
But after all, there are some "talents" available, which is always better than before.
Moreover, these trained talents also need some positions to allow them to display their abilities.
The space vacated by these farms in the Beiqinggu area is just right.
Gu Hang even assigned a lot of the one hundred top students that his mother had sent to work in Beiqinggu Province.
At this time, Gu Hang felt that his mother really had some ideas.
Gu Hang couldn't help but trust this group of people.
As for the situation on Angry Owl Star, where can we find a hundred highly educated "alien college students"?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t trust them. They are all talented people. You can do whatever you want with them.
Gu Hang really couldn't resist the temptation.
We can't waste it, right?
Go to work.
If you want to be entrusted with important tasks, it is not impossible. Just start from the grassroots level.
If the person is really reliable enough, Gu Hang doesn't mind having a good chat with him and recruiting him to work under him.
In short, these methods are used to temporarily fill the gaps in the basic farms in Beiqinggu Province whose managers have been removed.
When talking about this, Ossena also told Gu Hang about the current key tasks of the Ministry of Culture and Education.
At present, the alliance's cultural and educational work is going quite well. In the most important twin cities, a series of education systems from primary school to middle school to university have been established.
Citizens of the Alliance can enjoy different levels of free education and subsidies depending on their rank.
The first six years are compulsory education, and the children of citizens above E5 level are free of charge. In order to encourage children to go to school, after admission, the children’s own rank will be E2 or E3, which means an additional benefit to reduce the pressure of raising children.
Those at higher levels can receive free secondary education.
After middle school, students can directly get a promotion for their good performance in school. Normally, people can only get a normal E5 level rank after they reach adulthood and are assigned a job; but if they have good grades and outstanding performance, they may have a relatively high rank while in school, which will obviously provide great help for them after they leave school and enter the society.
The so-called university level is the comprehensive college, technical college, and Zhongsi College. Here we will not discuss the rank, education is charged, but basically, the rank of students in the university will not be lower than E6, and their own allowance is almost enough to pay for it.
Moreover, the outstanding graduates from each middle school, especially the best ones, can receive higher subsidies.
The threshold for promotion from primary school to middle school, and from middle school to university, is all exams.
The three major colleges also pursue a policy of lenient admission and strict graduation, so graduation is not easy.
Even though the three major colleges are now responsible for a lot of adult education work, graduation certificates are also given in different levels. Adult education is a certificate for adult education - of course, if you can pass the normal exam, you can also get a normal certificate.
In short, everything is based on the three aspects of examination, performance in school and practical results, and consideration is given to the ABCD level four certificates.
Now, all schools - even students who have graduated from high school but failed to get into university, or students who are receiving adult education in high school - are being snapped up by all walks of life.
Enterprises, factories and government agencies are scrambling for it.
Even the army wanted to be robbed. Taddius's military and political department also needed a lot of civilian officers.
The three major colleges are expanding in scale. In addition, the system of primary and secondary schools is also spreading outward.
Currently, the Ministry of Education has also implemented the primary-middle school education system in some large settlements outside the Twin Cities, such as Chatan City, and in the Central Province, which has a population of two million in addition to the Twin Cities, there are many settlements with a population of around 200,000.
The long-term goal is to expand primary schools to every settlement of residents in the alliance, and to expand secondary schools to every town-level area.
Gu Hang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Perhaps because of the concepts he had before he traveled through time, education is of great importance to him. He hopes that more and more talents will emerge in the alliance, even if they are not so ambitious, as long as they can shine in their own positions.
There is no doubt that the improvement of population quality will lead to an increase in productivity.
After Ossena, it was Jason Morgan who spoke.
The provincial head is about to give his answer.
“…We will reform the assessment method for grassroots farms.”
"Production indicators will still be the most important part. We will optimize this, determine the objective conditions of the farm's population, arable area, number of agricultural machinery, and formulate three indicator lines: qualified, excellent, and challenging. The corresponding planned production indicators and the corresponding basic farms can float on these three lines, but there should be no exaggerated production plans that are divorced from objective facts.
"We will significantly increase the penalties for failure to meet the standards. The rewards for achieving excellent goals will be more significant, but the rewards for achieving goals from excellent to challenging will be reduced. We will also focus the rewards on individuals who complete production rather than managers. We hope that in this way, farms will be required to meet basic production targets and be encouraged to produce more, but we won't let everyone enter a completely involutionary environment."
"In addition to production indicators, we will include public satisfaction in the assessment scope. Grassroots managers are required to improve public satisfaction while meeting production plans, otherwise their assessment will be adversely affected."
"We are also preparing to conduct a pilot reform in the appointment of grassroots managers. Instead of having the higher-level government appoint the managers, we will provide multiple candidates and have them explain their policies, plans and future plans to the farm residents, and the local residents will make the choice."
"Overall, we hope to reduce the oppression and corruption of grassroots officials by giving them the power of reverse selection and taking into account their satisfaction. This will increase the amount of responsibility that grassroots officials have to their subordinates."
"We have also considered that the public may have unreasonable demands. It is also possible that the policy of kidnapping grassroots officials by threatening unsatisfactory votes may occur, making it impossible for farms to complete production plans. It is also possible that officials who are good at doing practical work may not be as good as those who are good at speaking and canvassing for votes..."
“There are still many problems with the plan, but overall it should be better than in the past.”
"In terms of actual assessment, the provincial civil affairs bureau, development bureau, and production bureau will formulate more complete plans to supervise the behavior of grassroots officials and set more reasonable goals. They will also pay attention to identifying the hidden dangers and problems I mentioned earlier."
…
Jason Morgan had a document spread out in front of him. He calmly described what he would do if he continued to serve as the head of Beiqinggu Province.
Gu Hang listened very carefully, and asked questions about certain details from time to time while Morgan was talking.
There were many places where Morgan was prepared, and he spoke eloquently and explained; but there were also some places where he really hadn't thought clearly, but he was not upset or nervous, but asked Gu Hang and the other two senior officials of the alliance who were present if there were any better solutions.
At the end of the conversation, Gu Hang made the final decision:
"It's true that there may still be many problems, but overall, it sounds like an improvement over before. So let's just give it a try and see if there are any problems, then we can solve them accordingly."
Hearing the Governor say this, Jason Morgan suddenly felt relieved.
It seems that I have passed the test.
