The work of the leadership team was in full swing. Tang Qinghong found that his father was not too busy, and he was picked up from school on time every day. It seems that the key to being an official is to be able to employ people, which is much better than doing everything in person.

Before school this weekend, Tang Qinghong was invited by the teacher to the principal's office. Yuan Jun, who was in the same class as him, was quite worried, because usually students are most afraid of being "invited", especially their parents.But Tang Qinghong himself had nothing to worry about. He didn't know how good he was during the week of enrollment. The teacher had no reason to punish him, let alone alarm the principal.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked outside the principal's office, he heard several voices sighing and complaining about the long-term failure to pay teachers' salaries.

Even the old principal himself complained, "Principals, I can't help it! I didn't want to be this principal at the beginning. The teachers insisted that I was qualified and good-tempered, so they forced me to do it. Because I don't know about the salary. How many times have I run to the education team, my old leg is almost broken, and they also called the taxation office in front of me, but the taxation office said that there is no allocation, and there is no money for each one! To tell you the truth, I have repeatedly I told the leaders that I wanted to resign, but they never let me!"

Tang Qinghong felt sympathetic when he heard that, is the town primary school so poor?Aren't other rural elementary schools even worse?He couldn't help but look up at the class teacher beside him, and found embarrassment and grievance on the face of this young female teacher.

He stopped and stood in front of the office door to continue listening, but the teacher in charge didn't make a sound to urge him.

A middle-aged man’s voice was full of expectation, "You are lucky, the son of Mayor Tang is studying in your school! You can go to Mayor Tang and report this situation on behalf of everyone. Teachers at home I can't even open the pot!"

He had almost heard it, and knocked lightly on the door a few times with his small hand. The head teacher opened the door and took him in, and introduced him to the principals inside, including the township junior high school, the township primary school, and even the village primary school.He has a very sweet mouth, one by one, and everyone praises him for being smart and sensible, but the faces full of sorrow and mist are still unable to smile.

Under the eyes of everyone, the old principal had no choice but to say, "Honghong, is Mayor Tang at home tomorrow? I...I want to visit your home. You can ask him first when you go back today to see if he has time."

Tang Qinghong reckoned that the old headmaster was really forced to the point of no choice, and he didn't dare to go to the government to find his father rashly, so he wanted to use this kid as a breakthrough.

Of course he was willing to help. The old headmaster did it for the salaries of the teachers, not for any personal gain.Tang Qinghong tilted his head and thought about it, and replied solemnly: "Father is very busy, and he may not have time on rest days. Can you come with me after get off work today?"

The principals were very disappointed when they heard the first half of his sentence, but when they heard the second sentence, their faces showed joy, and their eyes were hungry, like people who have been hungry for a long time looking at a big meat bun.

When he returned to class, Yuan Jun asked him nervously, "What's the matter? Will you be invited as a parent? How about I go home with you, your father won't beat you when he sees me !"

Dad won't hit himself!This Yuan Jun is really... a lot of beatings by his father at home, right?

Tang Qinghong couldn't tell the truth to Yuan Jun either, so he just frowned and told Yuan Jun, "I'm fine, you can go home by yourself later, you don't need to be with me."

After school, he was waiting for his father at the school gate with the old principal. From a long distance away, he saw Yuan Jun stopping in front of his father, jumping up and down, like a little monkey, chattering about something.Dad listened with a smile, while pushing the bicycle to go this way, Yuan Jun was so anxious that he held his father to prevent him from going on.

It is estimated that this kid really thought that he was going to be asked to be a parent, for fear that his father would lose his temper, Tang Qinghong couldn't laugh or cry, and led the old principal to greet him.

After he briefly introduced the two adults, he pulled Yuan Jun aside, "It's really fine! You go back, the principal is talking to my dad about business, it's none of my business."

Hearing his explanation, Yuan Jun's anxious expression dissipated instantly, and he waved to him with a clever smile, "Well, then I'll go back first! Will you come to my house tomorrow?"

He nodded to indicate that he would go, Yuan Jun immediately grinned, turned around and bounced back home.

The old headmaster went home with them, and praised Tang Qinghong countless times along the way. Tang Minyi was delighted to hear that, and also chatted with the old headmaster about the specific plan for building a new school building, and asked him for a lot of opinions.The old headmaster was very moved when he heard it, and felt more and more that the new Mayor Tang was reliable, and he couldn't bear the old face to cause trouble for the practical mayor.

But he was entrusted by the principals, and it would not be good if he left without saying a word, so he had to stay in the living room and praise Tang Qinghong, and he refused to leave until he had no words.

Tang Qinghong had been doing his homework in his room for a long time, and he never thought that the old principal hadn't gotten to the point yet.Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Tang Minyi smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you want to report? Do you have any work problems that require government assistance?"

Only then did the old headmaster feel relieved, with an old face blushing, he whispered everyone's request, "Mayor Tang, the town and several township primary schools and village primary schools are unable to pay their salaries. Do you think... ...Can you withdraw some from that donation to relieve our urgent needs? We didn't want to trouble you, but there is really... there is no other way."

Tang Minyi was taken aback, this was the first time he had heard of this.It is very common for poor places to default on teachers' salaries, but it usually doesn't take long to get financial allocations to solve them.

He pondered and replied: "The money has been allocated to two special funds for the project. It cannot be moved. We will find another way to solve the salary issue. Have you reported this matter to the relevant departments? The education group and the Finance and Taxation Office are Why didn't it deal with it?"

The old principal wanted to cry when he said it, "I've asked for it, and the education team has also asked the tax office many times, but the tax office said that the county finance bureau didn't allocate funds, and they couldn't do anything about it. Come and go, the days go by."

Then the old principal talked about the poverty of many teachers' families, which had really reached the point of cutting off electricity and fuel, and they almost couldn't even drink porridge.But even under such circumstances, the teachers still stuck to their posts, trying to understand the difficulties of the town leaders, continuing to attend classes hungry, and never venting their complaints and dissatisfaction on the children.

Hearing the words, Tang Minyi fell into deep thought. Tang Qinghong ran out to go to the bathroom, and even helped the old principal, "Yes, Dad, my head teacher hasn't been paid for several months, and he is so kind and serious in teaching us!"

Tang Minyi saw that he came out to interrupt, and immediately drove him back to his room to do his homework. He also quibbled with bright eyes, "You need to listen to the opinions of the masses! Am I not a member of the masses?"

"The most important thing for you, a small group of people, is to do your homework! Come in quickly, Dad will check later!"

After driving his son back to the room, Tang Minyi said to the old principal: "I will verify the situation you reported as soon as possible, and the town party committee and government will definitely solve the problem for everyone. However, the special funds cannot be embezzled, even if I am the mayor of the town. You can't start with this, otherwise there may be a big mess in the future, and the teacher's salary will have to go to the county finance bureau..."

Before he finished speaking, the old principal became anxious, thinking that he had been kicked again, "Mayor Tang! The finance and taxation office promised to pay the three months' salary owed last year. I believed it. They also said that the county finance department promised to allocate funds but it has not been allocated! We went twice more, but the cadres of the finance and taxation office were still very impatient, calling us free food and blood-sucking worms who depended on the government! "

Speaking of this, the old headmaster's eyes were wet, and his voice choked up, "Mayor Tang! I really can't help it. I can't let the teachers go to class hungry anymore. I heard that you are a good official who does things for the people. You must save us!"

As the old principal said, he was about to kneel down to Tang Minyi, and was firmly supported by a pair of solid and powerful arms.Tang Minyi himself squatted down, looked at the old headmaster and said sincerely and apologetically: "It's because I didn't do a good job, which made our gardeners suffer. Don't worry, I'll find out the situation first. In a week, I will definitely solve the problem for everyone, okay?"

The old headmaster was dubious about getting this accurate promise.After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and decided to trust the new mayor once.

After finishing his homework, Tang Qinghong poked his head out again and put the homework in front of his father. When he heard his father repeating "I have been in arrears for three months", he couldn't help correcting: "There are more than three What about Yue! That’s the IOU issued by Wu Yue, and I haven’t paid the rest. I heard those principals yelling that they can’t solve the problem!”

Tang Minyi frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable for a while, realizing the seriousness of the problem.The old headmaster only mentioned the salary in front of him and owed him three months, that is to say, he only expected him to solve these three months, and he didn't dare to think too much about it later.The situation has reached this point, and the teachers still don't go on strike, don't petition, and only go to him to report the situation in private. What a simple and kind-hearted group of people they are.

Tang Minyi hurriedly called the second sister Ma, the director of the Finance and Taxation Office, in front of the old principal, and asked about the details of the arrears. The second sister Ma also complained to him, saying that she had already reported to the county finance department. , ran a lot of times, originally they let go and promised to solve them in the near future, but they changed their words two days ago, saying that the county's financial difficulties are extremely difficult, and the funds cannot be allocated for the time being.For this matter, she even went to the county in person, and wasted a lot of time in the Finance Bureau, but it didn't help. If they said no, they wouldn't give it, and they wouldn't give it if you asked for it.

He noticed that the time when the Finance Bureau changed its attitude was the second day after Li Hui had a fight with Mayor Ma.Second Sister Ma also talked about her younger brother's fight after complaining, and said that the county deliberately made things difficult, and that the work of the Finance and Taxation Office would be impossible in the future.

After he finished comforting Second Sister Ma, the old principal revealed aggrievedly that Second Sister Ma did not go to the county on her own initiative, but was forced by Secretary Ma to go after the principal of the town middle school asked Secretary Ma to report the situation. .

After Tang Minyi had a preliminary understanding of the situation, he already had a countermeasure in mind, and advised the principal to relax and go home first to wait for the news. He will completely solve this problem within the promised time.

The next day was Sunday, and the two father and son went to the county early in the morning. Tang Minyi made up his mind to settle this important matter immediately.

When they arrived in the county, they found that roads were being built everywhere. In just over a week, the county town had turned into a large construction site. The traffic was seriously congested, and it was difficult for ordinary people to travel. It was a messy scene.

Tang Minyi entrusted his son to Zhao Lan to take care of, and went to Secretary Li's house alone.Zhao Lan also deliberately brought some boxes of cigarettes and alcohol for him, so as not to be rejected by Mrs. Li, and told him that Mrs. Li was very concerned about face, and would not even open the door unless she mentioned some good cigarettes and alcohol.

Tang Qinghong said goodbye to his father obediently, and asked Zhao Lan about the latest interesting things in the city as soon as he went out.While cooking, Zhao Lan chatted with her, and was very concerned about the living conditions of the two father and son in the town.

Tang Minyi rushed to the family compound of the county party committee and knocked on the door of Secretary Li's house. As expected, it was Mrs. Li who opened half the door and blocked the door. She glanced at the bag in his hand and saw that there were not many things. Then look at this The young man was also dressed plainly. He thought it was a poor relative from the town who came to bother her husband again, so his tone was not very kind, "Who are you looking for?"

He replied with a gentle smile, "Hello, I'm from Yungou Town, my surname is Tang, and I want to report to Secretary Li about my work, which is the two projects of building a school and building roads in our town. Because today's week Today, I can only come to my house to trouble him, please help me to see if Secretary Li is free now."

Mrs. Li was about to say that Secretary Li was not at home, when she heard the word "project", her eyes suddenly lit up, and adding "two projects of building a school and building roads", she immediately thought about the oil and water in her heart, and it was so cold just now. A smile appeared on the scumbag Wan Niang's face, and she opened the door completely, "Oh, it's Xiao Tang? Come in, come in, he's reading a newspaper in the study."

He changed his slippers and sat in the living room, putting down the things in his hands. Mrs. Li glanced at the contents of his pocket, her smile became more cordial, and she warmly poured him tea, "I'll call him right away, Sit down first!"
