RNP Chapter 432: Building a Highway?
Chapter 432: Building a Highway?
Good heavens! When this news came out, the entire village was utterly shocked.
If that's really the case, then the people of Liu Family Village won't have to do anything anymore. They can just stay home and enjoy their lives.
Previously, Lao Mo told the village chief that they thought Lao Mo might be bragging.
But things are different now. If it's said in front of the leader, then it's definitely true.
Old Mo continued, "In addition, I will build them a huge school, from elementary school to junior high school, high school, and all the way to university, fully equipped."
I will cover all expenses for anyone from Liujia Village who attends this school, including room and board, as well as their school uniforms and other necessities.
Good grief, this is another piece of news that sends chills down my spine.
This made even the leaders incredibly envious. They wanted to be residents of Liu Family Village too.
"besides."
Old Mo continued, "Besides the housing and essential living facilities, such as a waterworks, even public toilets will be built for them. See if there's anything else necessary; as long as it's a basic necessity, I'll provide it. Okay, that's all!"
Wow, everyone was speechless.
In this way, the people of Liujia Village are truly blessed.
At this moment, the township head interjected, timidly saying, "Comrade Lao Mo, could you let our fellow villagers study here too? Many villages are quite close by. Hehe..."
The township head felt a little embarrassed as he said this. After all, he was taking advantage of Lao Mo. He didn't know how much extra money Lao Mo would have to spend just to get a nod from him!
Old Mo thought for a moment and said, "That's unnecessary. How about this, leaders, you take a count: how many cities and counties are there in the country? I'll donate one of these schools to each city and each county."
Every school was built to accommodate 10,000 students at the same time. All the impoverished children were sent to these schools for intensive, closed-door education until they graduated from university. I covered all the expenses.”
"What?"
As soon as Lao Mo said this, everyone's expression changed, including Hai Zi's superiors.
How much does this cost?!
In fact, Lao Mo had already calculated it in his mind. In 1971, there were only about two thousand cities and counties in the whole country.
Based on current domestic prices, a school can be built for one million yuan.
Two thousand multiplied by one million equals only two hundred million, which is nothing.
Not enough, huh? Then double it. Even if it's increased tenfold, twentyfold, or even a hundredfold, it's still a piece of cake for Lao Mo.
His system still has tens of billions of dollars that it can't spend and hasn't donated yet! It would be worthwhile to use it for education.
"My God, Comrade Mo, are you serious? You have to understand, this is the whole country, not just Liu's Village!"
Hai Zi's leader asked in shock.
Old Mo said calmly, "Ten or twenty billion US dollars is nothing to me. Boss, I can provide the money within a month, all in US dollars."
My only hope is that every penny of this money can go to these children. Our country is too poor, but no matter how poor we are, we can't neglect education!
My goodness!
The leaders were so moved that they almost wanted to stand up and kowtow to Lao Mo.
"Comrade Lao Mo, on behalf of all the children in the country, thank you!"
Leader Hai Zi was shaking as he held Lao Mo's hand.
"Comrade Lao Mo, rest assured, I will personally oversee and ensure the implementation of this matter. Every penny must be used for these children."
Leaders in this era can be trusted.
Old Mo didn't care about anything else; anyway, the money had been poured in. As long as it helped those children, it was a good thing.
"Hey, District Chief Yang, you personally oversee the matter in Liujia Village. Make sure it's handled well."
The leader spoke directly.
District Chief Yang immediately stood up at attention and said, "Yes, sir. I will definitely handle this matter properly."
After having a meal, the leaders hurriedly rushed back. They wanted to bring this good news back with them.
Then, the Minister of Education will come and talk to Lao Mo.
Yes, with just one sentence from Old Mo, the schooling problem for more than 20 million children was solved, and their pressure regarding education will be much less in the future.
This is absolutely fantastic news.
After the leaders left, District Chief Yang and the Township Chief stayed behind.
Yes, they're absolutely not leaving. They have a lot of work to do, like planning where to build houses and schools, and mapping out the land. They also need to find a professional construction team to build this number one village in the country.
That very evening, Old Mo took out ten million US dollars and handed it over to District Chief Yang.
Tell him that all the money should be used in Yangjia Village, and if it's not enough, he can ask for more later.
In addition, Old Mo also took out five million US dollars and gave it to the village chief, Third Uncle, to distribute to the villagers, as if he, Old Mo, was giving them red envelopes.
Good heavens, the village chief was almost scared to death when he saw so many US dollars.
The villagers might not know, but the village chief did: this thing was much more useful than their RMB.
You don't need any tickets to buy things at the Friendship Store. You can buy whatever you want.
The next day, the whole village started distributing money, 10,000 yuan to each person, with each person receiving their share.
Good heavens, the whole village is so lively, it can't even compare to the Spring Festival!
Only after receiving the money did they truly believe that everything Old Mo said was true.
Their Yangjia Village now has a son-in-law who is incredibly wealthy and willing to spend money on them.
The village is distributing money.
After receiving the money, District Chief Yang got busy.
In this era, as long as you have money and resources, productivity is incredibly high.
Right from the start, District Chief Yang encountered a major problem.
Yes, transportation in Yangjia Village is not very convenient. There is only one dirt road leading from here to the city, making it difficult to carry out such a large-scale project.
So, that evening, District Chief Yang approached Lao Mo again.
At that moment, Lao Mo was having dinner with Liu Laogen's family!
Tonight they'll cook for themselves and have a family reunion dinner.
As soon as District Chief Yang arrived, he was politely invited to sit at the table.
District Chief Yang was a little embarrassed, but he eventually brought up the issue.
"Hey, Comrade Mo, I've run into a problem. Such a huge project in Yangjia Village doesn't have a single decent road; it's really difficult!"
Old Mo laughed upon hearing this: "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that?"
Old Mo waved his hand and said, "Build it, build it to highway standards, and I'll pay for it. Of course, it must be built to highway standards, not a fully enclosed toll road! I donated money to build this road, so it can't be toll-free."
District Chief Yang frowned and said, "Comrade Lao Mo, building it to highway standards would cost a lot of money. How about we build it to secondary road or national highway standards?"
There were no highways back then, but if they had the money, they could manage to build one.
