Chapter 237 Taxation and Education
For bandits and private armies, Wang Hengyue rectified with an iron fist and was unrelenting!
But internally, this is the overseer of Sichuan, but it shows great enthusiasm.
The reduction and exemption of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes gave the people and businessmen who had just survived the war a long sigh of relief.
There were too many inexplicable taxes before, and since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, one tax item after another has popped up. Later, the former Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and the Republic of China was overthrown, so I always thought that I didn't have to pay so many taxes, right? Who would have thought that it was not like that at all.
Zhao Erfeng died, and Yin Changheng came; dismissed Yin Changheng and came to Hu Jingyi; transferred Hu Jingyi, and entered a Chen eunuch again. The taxes formulated by the predecessor are indispensable, and the successor has made new taxes on a large scale, and the new taxes and old taxes are pressed together!
You have to pay the boat tax for supporting the boat, you have to pay the city tax when you enter the city, you have to pay the tax for adding to the ding when you have a child, you have to pay the land tax when you go to the city to sell vegetables, you have to pay the entrance tax for eating, and you have to pay the cleaning tax for going to the thatched house
God knows when, you have to pay fart tax if you fart!
Sure enough, it's "10,000 taxes, 10,000 taxes"!
However, a few years ago, the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army entered Sichuan, and later the Yunnan army of the protectorate entered Sichuan, but wherever they passed, they had to pay "marching tax," "bullet tax," and "revolutionary tax"
Do you still have to pay taxes for this revolution?
Finally, a king overseer has arrived!
When this man was in southern Sichuan in the past, everyone knew that he was a good official. At the beginning, in the southern Sichuan region, I had never heard of so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes!
To put it psychologically, everyone is looking forward to Wang Dujun ruling Sichuan earlier, and now they are finally looking forward to it!
After Wang Hengyue was officially appointed as the governor of Sichuan Province, all kinds of unreasonable taxes left by the former Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary political axe, and the Republic of China were cut off by Wang Hengyue!
All the people are jubilant, it is really all the people are jubilant!
Thousands of taxes, not as good as tax cuts!
The market, which had withered due to the war, began to recover. Reducing unreasonable taxes is extremely important for the improvement of business confidence.
Once the market is booming, the "losses" that seemed to be caused by the abolition of exorbitant taxes can soon be recouped through normal tax channels.
Winning the hearts of the people, the gentry, and the hearts of the merchants is the key to sitting firmly in the king of Sichuan!
As for education, Wang Hengyue began to vigorously rectify it.
Wang Hengyue increased his investment in Sichuan Provincial City Higher Education Hall and Sichuan Provincial Normal School, and also began to open primary and secondary schools in various places.
"Education is the foundation of the people", this is what Wang Hengyue has always said.
A special education fund was launched to reward students who are particularly good or have special strengths in a certain area, and to support those who are from disadvantaged families.
A large number of Chinese and foreign teachers have been invited by Wang Hengyue one after another, and they can't just stare at the things in front of them, they must know what has happened in the world and what is happening. What is stronger than China, and what China does not have.
There is not only one China in the world! Learn from the advanced experience of others, and only then can we surpass others in the future!
And Wang Dujun seems to be particularly interested in students who have a special talent in one area. Even some students who are deviant in the eyes of teachers, like to think cranky, and think about "unrealistic" things all day long often get special attention from Wang Hengyue, who often comes to the school to inspect.
In the "Chengdu Flight School" where Feng Ru is also the principal, there is a student who is also surnamed Wang, who once put forward his own views in front of Wang Hengyue and Principal Feng Ru:
"Now that the plane can go into the air, if the cannonballs used in the cannon are loaded onto the plane and then thrown down from the air, will it cause more damage? And what if you can fly to the surface of the sea and drop bombs on battleships? ”
"Good, good!"
When he heard this idea, Wang Hengyue, who was actually already being developed by Feng Ru, said a few good words one after another: "You, what's your name?" ”
Feng Ru pulled Wang Hengyue aside:
"This man's name is Wang Xi, fifteen years old, he likes flying very much, and he is very talented in this area, no, he is simply a genius, but"
"But what?" Wang Hengyue was a little curious.
Feng Ru smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If he can study hard, his achievements will definitely surpass mine in the future, but he has many bad habits." His hands and feet are not very clean, and he always likes to steal things from his fellow dormitories, and on a few occasions he even stole some valuable things from the teacher."
"Well, what else?" Wang Hengyue listened and asked.
"And" Feng Ru hesitated: "Once he slipped out of the school, guess what he did?" Flipping into someone else's yard and peeking at a woman taking a bath, he was caught and beaten and sent back to our school, and the face of the whole school was lost by him, so we decided to expel him."
"What? Expel? Wang Hengyue's eyes widened: "It's just fooling around!" Stealing something, peeking at it, peeking at a woman taking a shower and going to be fired? Who hasn't come from their teenage years? Feng Ru, let me ask you, did you ever have the idea of peeking at a woman taking a bath when you were a child? ”
"Nope." Feng Ru replied honestly, but this man had a nerdy temper: "Did the Overseers have it?" ”
"Ah, this nonsense, I'm an Overseer, how could I have? I'm giving you an analogy. Wang Hengyue "set himself on fire" and quickly changed the topic:
"Fortunately, I know today, otherwise I will really lose a genius, the habit of stealing things is not good, I have to help him get rid of it, peeking at women taking a bath, this, this is the normal physiological reaction of teenagers, I think so, in the future, he will steal again, lock him up, lock him up and let him read a book, he has to put forward his own unique views on the plane, in order to release him This peeking woman to take a bath, in the future, it will also be a general treatment"
Feng Ru responded, to be honest, if he really fired Wang Xi, he was reluctant to do so. But those teachers in the school had too big opinions about Wang Xi, and they simply regarded him as a black sheep.
Those teachers with their families, when they saw Wang Xi, they were like seeing hooligans, and they were busy taking their wives and children to the dormitory.
Now, now that the Overseer has spoken, he has an explanation for the teachers.
"You, that Wang Xi, come here!" Wang Hengyue made a straight face and let Wang Xi stand in front of him: "At a young age, don't you learn well, en?" I've already told you Principal Feng, if something like this happens again, it's confined, understand? ”
"Yes, Overseer." Wang Xi whispered.
Wang Hengyue showed some smiles: "Study hard, don't keep thinking about women, wait for you to be older, ah, that"
"Yes, thank you, Overseer!"
How many other schools in Sichuan have students like Wang Xi? Something that stands out in one aspect, but has a lot of shortcomings?
If this Wang Xi hadn't happened to be discovered by himself and was about to be expelled, maybe he would have one less talent, and Sichuan would have one more ordinary person
Not only these normal students, but also special groups of schools have begun to recruit students for free.
Sichuan "Mingguang Deaf and Dumb School"!
In the past, most of the deaf and dumb schools in China were run by foreigners, such as the famous Mrs. Merris. Foreigners are still like this, let alone the governor and overseer of a province who is dignified?
Deaf students also have the right to education!
At this point, Yang Fangyun is the happiest.
Yang Fangyun is also a deaf person, but he is lucky, so he has been educated since he was a child, and he can still speak and distinguish what others are saying by lip shapes, but other deaf and mute children do not have such good luck as themselves!
Those who are deaf and dumb also aspire to acquire knowledge and become self-reliant and useful people, but in the past they did not have this opportunity. And now, Wang Hengyue has given them this opportunity.
Deaf-mute students entering the "Mingguang Deaf-mute School" are exempt from all fees, and the school will bear all their expenses!
Wang Hengyue's original meaning was not to expect many talents among them, but to give them the same rights as normal people.
"Thank you, Hengshuai!" Yang Fangyun, who knew the news, said to Wang Hengyue sincerely: "I know the pain of the deaf and mute, and when they watch normal children go to school, the envy and longing in their eyes can only be understood by me. Sometimes I also want to help them, but my strength is too small to do anything, and now Hengshuai has done a great thing for them! ”
As he spoke, he shook out a cloth bag: "Heng Shuai, this is all my savings, I am willing to take it all out to help Heng Shuai!" ”
"You take it, keep it, marry a daughter-in-law, and have a healthy child." Wang Hengyue pushed the cloth bag back: "I'm stingy, I won't take out a penny if I shouldn't use it, but if I should use it, I'll go bankrupt." Fang Yun, you have to go to see those children often, and tell them that there is nothing inferior and flawed, and you can become a big person, such as you, Director Yang of the Intelligence Bureau, can't you do it too? ”
Yang Fangyun nodded vigorously, his eyes full of gratitude
The military school, of which Wang Hengyue was personally the senior, was also officially moved to Chengdu and renamed the "Sichuan Military School", and at the same time, a new military academy was established in Yucheng: "Yucheng Military Academy".
This is the famous "Sichuan Military Academy" and "Yucheng Military Academy".
Not only the army, but also artillery, armored troops, navy, air force, and engineering troops, all military-related talents, will be produced in a steady stream in these two military academies.
Wang Hengyue was also full of expectations for these two military schools, invested a lot of money, and taught them in person many times. Allocate funds, hire teachers, and nurture talents.
This is the cradle of future officers!
