Chapter 55 Comprehensive subsidy plan is underway! Urgent message from the Northwest, good news!
Time flies by.

Sunday is the Navy Open Day.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, two warships are docked at a port not far away.

There were huge crowds of people around, like a dense mass of microorganisms gathered beside the two warships, preparing to land on these two huge ships one by one.

"There are so many people here." Lu Ze, wearing the same hat as Lucy, frowned as he looked at the surroundings.

Who the hell said that the Eagle Sauce here doesn't promote patriotism? That's bullshit.

Looking at the surging crowds, everyone was holding the American flag in their hands, and some were teaching them to say the slogan "I love Eagle Sauce". Whether it was an 80-year-old man or a child who had just learned to speak, they all followed the same standard.

Perhaps Lucy and Lu Ze are the only unique ones here.

"Lu Ze, this ice cream is delicious." Lucy held two ice creams in her hands and reluctantly handed him one.

"You eat it, I'll buy two more later." Lu Ze shook his head.

Ice cream is Lucy's favorite sweet food, but he himself doesn't feel much about it.

Following the crowd to board the missile destroyer named Milius was also his main purpose of this trip.

Looking down at this warship that is more than 150 meters long, a person in front of it is like an ant and an elephant. The shock of this behemoth cannot be described by simple data.

'Who would have thought that in a few years these Arleigh Burke-class destroyers would be directly eliminated.'

Lu Ze couldn't help but feel a little amused.

The Burke-class destroyer, which seemed to be "invincible" in 09, quickly fell behind the products that were a whole dimension behind after Daxia developed the 055 destroyer.

Even the Zumwalt-class destroyer developed after the Eagle Sauce looks full of technology, but its actual combat power is still defeated by the 055.

In terms of destroyers alone, in just ten years, Daxia and Yingjiang have achieved a double reversal.

"Come on, Lucy, let's go for a 'visit' too." Lu Ze said.

Now that we are here, we must go up and take a good look at the "Milius" and prepare for the next replication.

It's a pity that his number of copies has not been refreshed yet, so even if he touches it for a longer time, he can't copy it or recognize how many achievement points it has.

"Wait, I've never eaten this snack. It looks delicious." Lucy's feet stopped involuntarily.

Unfortunately, this time she was forcibly dragged onto the ship by Lu Ze.

He was very suspicious. Was Lucy here not to participate in the Navy Open Day, but to attend the Food Street Food Day?
How come you haven't stopped talking in the half hour since you came here?

What's more, the snacks here are three times more expensive than those in other places. Why do you have to buy them here?
the other side.

Two days ago.

After being approved by the highest-level meeting, a joint announcement issued by a bunch of national prefixes such as Daxia Government Affairs, Daxia Education Department, Daxia Politics and Law, etc., also attracted the attention of many people.

Titled [Regarding the establishment of the Northwest Province's 'Enthusiastic Citizens and Caring Students Subsidy' and other matters. ]

Although the title of this announcement may be a little short, the content is densely packed with dozens of pages.

It specifies in detail a series of student subsidy measures, such as a food allowance of three yuan per day for each student from primary school to high school. It is strictly required to establish student files, and payments must be made on time every month. Food safety must be guarded against, and the three meals must be sufficient.

Moreover, even missing one dollar is absolutely not allowed according to the regulations in the announcement, and any bad behavior such as misappropriation, theft or impersonation, improper food quality, etc. at the next level must be eliminated, and any violation of the regulations will be punished severely and promptly with the highest level of severity.

of course.

Anyone with a brain would look at the endless list of national departments, including the fact that even the Daxia Education Department in charge of this matter was ranked outside the fifth place. It is estimated that no one would be so blind as to be tired of living and think of touching this matter.

There was only one saying circulating throughout the Northwest Province: "Whoever touches this money will have no work tomorrow, so I will let you go first today."

All relevant personnel in the entire Northwest Province must memorize every regulation and content here and have it engraved in their bones.

After all, this is not asking for trouble. You are simply offending the Jade Emperor. Even if you want to die, you don't have to drag everyone to death with you, right?

In addition, there is an official document that was previously sent to the eight bureaus of Daxia Construction, which has also been officially launched today.

at the same time.

Northwest Province, a remote mountainous area located on the Loess Plateau.

This place called Xiaoqu Village does not have the pleasant mountain scenery that many people imagine, with green trees everywhere and small rivers surrounding the village.

Instead, all you see is a bare expanse of yellow earth, with a few green trees every few dozen meters, and occasionally some green grass dotted among the mountains. It is hard to imagine why anyone would choose to settle down here.

Xiaoqu Village was not fully electrified until 06, and until now in 09, it still has not had a real cement road. The two-meter-diameter dirt road is the only main road in the entire village.

Even in Daxia's poorest northwestern province, Xiaoqu Village is one of the counties with the worst economic development level, and it is an ordinary poor village.

Suddenly, this usually peaceful village welcomed an unusual day this weekend.

A construction team of over a hundred people, dragging equipment and various construction materials, began construction two kilometers outside Xiaoqu Village.

This place is located at the center of several nearby villages. On weekdays, people from the surrounding villages would gather here every now and then to sell various food, drinks and other daily necessities. After all, this place is quite far from the town, and it would probably take until the next day to get back from the early morning market.

So this place can be regarded as a 'mini' morning market.

The roar of the machines at work had already spread to the gossip of the aunties at the entrances of several surrounding villages.

For several villages around Xiaoqu Village, such a large project is seldom seen in ten years, so the number of people watching the construction site reached hundreds, making these workers feel like "big stars" which is rare.

"Brother, what are you doing?" asked an elderly lady who was watching, finally unable to suppress her curiosity.

"It looks like they are building a house?" An experienced old farmer was smoking a pipe. He had worked on a construction site in the past few years and was familiar with these things. "A construction team of hundreds of people, on such a large site, how could they be building a house? They can't be building a factory, right?"

Before the man next to him finished speaking, an old lady was shocked: "Oh my god, someone wants to build a factory here?"

Who the hell is so desperate to build a factory in this crappy place?

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the people around became even more curious. If there was a factory here, many local people would not have to travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to work elsewhere, and could have jobs right at their doorstep.

Before they could finish their guessing, a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet who looked like a supervisor came over and said, "Fellow villagers, please stop looking. The flying sand and rocks at the construction site are very dangerous. Go home quickly."

"And we are not going to build a factory here, we are going to build a primary school."

Building a school? Isn't that even more unreasonable?

"If there could be a primary school here, my child wouldn't have to go to school in the countryside." An old lady's eyes revealed surprise.

"Yeah, it's time to build a primary school here. Which village nearby doesn't have a population of over a thousand?"

"I feel so bad when I see my child walking for more than two hours every day, getting up before dawn and coming back from school after dark."

"My family does have a motorcycle, but this road is not easy to drive on. When it's windy and rainy, I'll fall into the ravine."

The onlookers unanimously applauded the decision.

Before, because there was no school near Xiaoqu Village, hundreds of school-age children from several villages within a radius of several kilometers had to go to school in towns, where they would stay in boarding schools for a week and could only come back once a week, or they could only get up at four o'clock in the morning and rush to school.

At this time.

Suddenly, a villager from Xiaoqu Village ran over in a hurry: "Why are you guys still staying here? Go back to the village quickly."

"What's wrong? What happened in the village?" These men, all covered in dirt, were dragged back to the village with confused faces.

I only saw it next to the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The entire village gathered around a few young men wearing plaid shirts and glasses.

"Is this... someone coming to the village to cause trouble?" Before they could even think of this question.

"Okay, all the eligible people in our village are here." The village chief smiled and gestured to a staff member in a shirt.

"Well, please listen carefully to what I'm going to say next." The young man, who was in his early twenties, was not afraid and cleared his throat: "If anyone in your village has children who are in elementary school, junior high school, or high school and are studying in Northwest Province, they can come here to fill in the information and create a file."

"Wait for the file to be established and confirmed, and we will issue a card to you."

"Leader, what is the use of this card given after the file is created? Is it just to collect information about our own children?" An old lady nearby interrupted and expressed the doubts in her heart.

"What's your business? Goudan, take care of your wife. Why is she interrupting others when they are talking? You have such a long tongue?" The village chief immediately glared at him. Can't even wait for a few minutes? How will outsiders view their Xiaoqu Village?

For a moment, those who were originally planning to ask questions at this time swallowed their words.

Even though the village chief is already in his sixties or seventies, he can really knock your head off.

"I know you have questions, so let me explain them to you now."

The young staff member smiled and said, "As long as it is confirmed on file and the subsidy card is issued, each student will receive a three-yuan food subsidy every day."

"However, this money will be deducted from each school, and the card is used in that it will be deducted every time you make a purchase. It cannot be withdrawn, used for other purposes, or saved for use next month. You can only check whether there are any abnormalities in the deduction."

You can never underestimate how smart ordinary people are in this regard. Without this regulation, if they were allowed to receive the three yuan daily food subsidy, I'm afraid many people would just receive the money and would not use it to subsidize food for their children.

This goes against the original purpose of "subsidizing students with caring citizens".

“Then my child is in primary school, so that should count too, right?” The eyes of a farmer who had just returned from the fields lit up.

“Of course this is counted.”

"Then my child, who is in high school, can also get this three-dollar food allowance every day?"

The staff nodded and said: "As long as they are in primary school, junior high school, or high school, they will receive a subsidy of three yuan a day after their files are filed."

“What about kindergarten?”

Before the man had finished speaking, the village chief started to scold him: "Get lost! Didn't you hear others say that these are students in these three stages? Why don't you let your newborns get subsidies as well?"

"If you have children who meet the requirements, please come to me to get the forms and fill in your identity information. It's best to bring your birth certificate as well." The staff member held a pile of forms in his hand and distributed them one by one.

The enthusiasm of each villager is extremely strong.

You know, the food allowance of three dollars a day is almost a hundred dollars a month.

In this era when the average monthly salary is just over 1,000 yuan, many farmers in the northwestern province only earn a few thousand yuan a year from farming.

With this money, even if it is just enough to keep their children well fed and well-dressed, it will be enough for them.

Xiaoqu Village is just a microcosm.

now.

The entire Northwestern Province's "Subsidy for Caring Citizens and Students" program, along with the construction of one thousand schools, is causing a stir throughout Daxia.

Urgent telegrams came in from all over the province, and every letter from home contained good news.

(PS: The update time will be fixed at 12 noon and 6 pm!)
