"Mr. Gu, have you ever heard of a saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?"

The middle-aged policeman drove the car and explained: "Let me tell you a few things! Seven or eight years ago, before I was transferred to Leshan, I worked as a policeman at the police station here.

When the county poverty alleviation office visited the countryside and distributed poverty alleviation materials, we accompanied them throughout the process.

Poverty alleviation pigs have been distributed since then, but in the first few years, some poor households did not raise them at all. After the piglets were distributed, they were killed and eaten directly.

There are also poverty alleviation funds distributed to them. After they receive it, they turn around and go buy wine and meat.

After eating and drinking for days, spending all their money, and using up all their supplies, they are still the same as before, without any change."

"Why?"

Gu Tianle didn’t understand: “If you raise piglets and turn them into big pigs, wouldn’t they be able to eat more meat?”

"In fact, we can't blame them."

Murong Fu spoke. He looked out the window and said calmly: "Poor people cannot see tomorrow. One extra day of living is all they make. They rarely think about what will happen in a year and a half. They can only think about the few days in front of them."

It is no longer easy to survive.

When there is no fat or water in a person's stomach, the desire for meat is very strong. People who have never been hungry will never experience the feeling of being so greedy that their bones are itching.

In a precarious situation, and there is a piece of meat that is ready to be eaten right in front of you, it is a good choice to satisfy your craving first.

Being able to eat and drink enough, but being a dead ghost, this result is not unacceptable to the poor."

The middle-aged policeman glanced at Murong Fu with some surprise, feeling surprised in his heart.

I didn't expect that this young man who seemed to have never experienced hardship would actually understand the thoughts of the poor so well.

"That's right."

The middle-aged policeman nodded and said: "There is no way. It is not easy for poor people to just live. Very few people have the foresight to plan for the future."

"That's a little too biased."

Gu Tianle frowned dissatisfied: "They can't even afford food, how can they plan for the future?"

"It's not a prejudice. The problem of food is easy to solve, but poverty alleviation is about people and ideas."

The middle-aged policeman explained: "If you continue to maintain this kind of short-sighted thinking that only looks at the present, then even if you care about their livelihood for a lifetime, you will not be able to change their destiny."

Murong Fu whispered: "The rich will always be rich, and the poor will remain poor."

Du Qifeng added: "So we still have to rely on education."

"That's right."

The middle-aged policeman nodded solemnly: "The hardest thing for poor people to change is their thinking. To fundamentally solve the problem of poverty, education is the only way.

Only by allowing the next generation to learn cultural knowledge, go out of the mountains and see the world, instead of being like their parents who can only see the mountains and ravines in front of them, can the poverty problem be completely solved."

Du Qifeng nodded and sighed: "Children are the hope!"

Gu Tianle pinched his fingers and looked fixedly in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the passenger seat, Murong Fu looked at the night outside the window, feeling filled with emotion.

As an ancient person, he knew the importance of cultural knowledge.

Even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, less than 1% of the people could read and write, but it was already a powerful country praised by later generations.

But in the Greater China of this world, literacy began decades ago, and by the turn of the millennium, the national illiteracy rate was only about 11%.

This was absolutely an unbelievable fantasy during the Song Dynasty.

What is even more incredible is that Greater China is actually promoting poverty alleviation from top to bottom to achieve the goal of equal wealth.

Equalizing wealth is not a new concept. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism had proposed the concept of equalizing wealth.

Confucianism has a saying: Don’t worry about poverty but worry about inequality; don’t worry about being widowed but worry about insecurity.

There is a saying in Taoism: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the excess.

The Mohist saying goes: Those with talent and wealth should be divided among people.

There is a saying in Legalism: Therefore, when the Lord governs the country, he should adjust the wealth to the current affairs and arrange the taxes to equalize the wealth and the poor.

…

Although the idea of ​​equal wealth has existed since ancient times, no dynasty or country has ever realized it.

Murong Fu did not know whether Greater China could achieve this ultimate goal, but he did see greater possibilities than in any previous era.

The middle-aged policeman looked back at Gu Tianle and said with a smile: "So! Mr. Gu, if you really want to show your love and help them, why not use the money you spent on pork to buy textbooks and stationery for the people in the village?"

Use it for children to study, or help them get a few desks, which will have a greater impact."

"No."

Gu Tianle's eyes gradually became brighter and his expression was serious: "When I buy desks, I have to have a place to put them. I want to help them build a school!"

Du Qifeng was a little surprised when he heard what he said.

The cost of building a school is not comparable to the cost of buying a few books or buying some pork.

"real?"

The middle-aged policeman was a little surprised: "Then I want to thank you on behalf of the children of Mabian County. You are a good person!"

"Gu Zai, have you thought clearly?"

Du Qifeng reminded: "Building a school costs a lot of money."

"How much can we ask for? Several hundred thousand should be about the same, right?"

After Gu Tianle said the words, he felt a little guilty.

He just left TVB last year.

Although he had good resources in TVB before, he really didn't make much money.

Hearing their conversation, the middle-aged policeman was happy: "It's not as exaggerated as you think, the country has a Hope Project.

As long as you donate RMB 250,000 to build a Hope Primary School, or donate RMB 100,000 to renovate a dilapidated school building, you can select a school building site through the Hope Project, and the name of the donor will be on the school after it is built.

The rest of the shortfall will be made up by the Youth Development Foundation.

Even if the school costs 10 million to build, as long as you donate 250,000, your name can still be on it."

"That's it! That's okay."

After hearing this, Gu Tianle breathed a sigh of relief: "Then if I donate 500,000 yuan, wouldn't it be possible to build two Hope Primary Schools?"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged policeman smiled and said: "If you donate one million, you can build four schools. By then, half of the students in Mabian County can go to your school."

On the side, Gu Tianle's assistant was somewhat moved after hearing this: "This is a good thing! It can also be used for publicity..."

"Don't want it anymore?"

Gu Tianle twitched his lips: "Didn't that become a hype stunt?"

"Eh? You can't think like that."

The middle-aged policeman said: "If this is considered a hype gimmick, then why not bring in more people to hype it up and create more gimmicks?

It is a good thing to donate money to help poor children go to school!

What's wrong with the hype? As long as the money can actually benefit poor children, it would be better if more people speculate!"

"You're right."

Du Qifeng nodded in agreement and suggested to Gu Tianle: "Gu Zai, why don't you follow Fang Long's example and find some friends to set up a charity foundation and find professionals to run it. This is more formal, and the foundation's money can also avoid taxes.

Isn’t it great to achieve multiple things with one stone?”

Gu Tianle shook his head: "How can I set up a charity foundation with the little money I have!"

"Take your time! Find more friends. If the ants hug the elephant to death, count me first."

Du Qifeng thought more profoundly than Gu Tianle.

His future development focus will also be attempted to shift to the mainland.

A philanthropist is a very useful umbrella that can avoid a lot of troubles.

"Okay! It's agreed, you can't go back on it!"

Gu Tian said with a smile, and suddenly saw Murong Fu in the co-pilot, he reached out and patted him, and asked: "Ah Rong, can I count you among them?"

Murong Fu shook his head: "I am very poor myself."

"How is that possible? You can't be so poor that you can't earn more than nine hundred yuan a year, right?"

Gu Tianle persuaded with a smile: "Donating a mosquito is also my intention, just think of it as doing good deeds and accumulating merit!"

Do good and accumulate virtue...

Murong Fu smiled and asked, "Do you want to become a Buddha immediately?"

"Haha! That's not true."
