September is approaching in a blink of an eye, and Liu Tao spent a month to adapt to the government affairs of Bingzhou. Taking over is one thing, but familiarity is another.

Especially many of the data reported by counties and counties are unclear, and the statistics are not as detailed as Yunzhong County, which is really popular. Is it because the officials in the past who were negligent in their work and did not do their job well, or is it like this in the overall environment? For example, there is a lack of sufficient numbers and talents...

Changshan Zhang family has many talents in this area, but they didn’t use so much before, but now Liu Tao feels it’s not enough.

So he sent someone to find Zhang Shiping and asked him if he wanted to be a Bingzhou Jian Cao.

The latter had never heard of Ji Cao in this position. Ji Li had heard of him, but he could be called a state employed person, so he must be a high-ranking official. Without saying a word, he left the caravan and came over to report.

"Brother Zhang, I'm not polite to you." After seeing Zhang Shiping, Liu Tao exchanged a few simple greetings and got to the point, "This strategy is a new position I have prepared for my future work. I am responsible for counting various data and an official needed under the Bingzhou government."

"Then, I don't know what data my lord needs?" Zhang Shiping had already planned to join Liu Tao's command, so he naturally called him the lord.

"For example, the population, I need to know how many permanent populations are in each county. How many elderly people, how many children, how many young people, and the ratio of men and women, and the birth rate of babies in the past three years, all need to know." Liu Tao replied.

"This is a big project." Zhang Shiping was a little embarrassed, and there was a lot of manpower needed to be used.

"You are a provincial cautionary in charge, which means that the prefects of each county and the magistrate of each county need to cooperate with your work in terms of statistics. Do you understand?" Liu Tao explained immediately.

"If this happens, then I understand." Zhang Shiping also breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you just doing?"

"First of all, I can understand how many corvee labor and soldiers can be collected in a county. In the future, the number of military recruitment will definitely be more concentrated in places with more young and strong, or the number of young and strong men will be collected in places with less males, or they will not be collected in places with less males." Liu Tao replied.

"So that's the case. In this way, it is indeed necessary to understand the proportion of young and strong local areas." Zhang Shiping suddenly realized.

"At the same time, we can also know the population birth rate, which indirectly reflects the livelihood situation of the county. Comparison of the baby birth rate and the premature death rate. If the premature death rate is too high, we must find out the specific reasons and then find ways to improve this problem. In fact, many things in the so-called governance are in these statistical data." Liu Tao further explained.

"I am educated!" Zhang Shiping had never considered this issue before.

"Actually, you have considered it, but the direction is different." Liu Tao smiled. "Just talking about doing business, you also need to understand the goods market in various places, and then look at the production situation this year. In previous years, where goods could be purchased at low prices, this year, the price of goods may increase and the acquisition cost will increase due to production cuts. Including the cost of transportation, it is not as cost-effective as purchasing in other places..."

"It's true..." Zhang Shiping nodded. He had indeed encountered this situation before.

"For the government, knowing these data can be regulated. For example, buying grain at a low price in a place with bumper harvest, deposit it into a regular liquidation position, and then selling it at a slightly higher price than the purchase price in places where production is reduced, ensuring that the government does not lose money and ensure the stability of local grain prices. It can even encourage merchants to transport grain to sell, and they can meet the merchants' taxes in other places..." Liu Taoluo thought for a while.

After all, he mostly hearsay about statistics and economics. However, one thing he believes is to give people of this era a higher vision, and they will naturally gradually improve these things.

The cost of institutional reform is relatively low, but the reform of technology is the most troublesome. It is entirely about spending money. You can test it out if you are lucky. Bad luck means trial and error. If you make mistakes, the rest is right.

This is stacked step by step, which is a technology tree. For steelmaking, if we want to achieve this part in this era, then the crucible will definitely not be spared. A qualified crucible requires high-temperature resistant porcelain. First of all, we must burn the porcelain.

Many civilian processes are improved on the basis of military and industrial use, and there are also cases when civilians are converted to military use. Anyway, as far as steelmaking is concerned, there are many processes involved. They can be refined by simply building a blast furnace and burning coke coal. It is estimated that only brainless and refreshing can be done.

Zhang Shiping was so stupid that Liu Tao was stunned, feeling that he had lived for so many years. The effect of counting was so great, but the Zhang family was about to fall to the point where they split up their families and go to business...

Zhang Shiping really wanted to cry, why did there not a king before that could see these?!

"Do your role well, it's very important, no less than the treatment or the other way around." Liu Tao saw his excited appearance, so he came forward to encourage him.

"I must do this job well and will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!" Zhang Shiping immediately responded. He is not only to repay Liu Tao's kindness for his goodwill or to get promoted and make money, but also to announce to the world that the Zhang family's proficiency in numbers is not useless, and is even very important!

Liu Tao didn't expect that Zhang Shiping would be so excited, but that didn't matter. It would be good that he was very enthusiastic.

Then the headache is Xun Yu. The government reform during this period is still underway, but as a result, another plan is needed to be used to do it. What should I do if the work I am doing?

"It's simple!" Liu Tao replied, "Ji Cao is responsible for statistics, and Zhu Cao is responsible for revenue and expenditure management."

After all, the accountant and cashier are separated. In the past, statistics were also books, and cashiers were also books, so there was too much room for operation.

"This... is OK!" Xun Yu thought about it and understood the benefits of doing so, so he was happy to be ordered. If this result is just based on this, then the position of Jing Cao should be above the position of Zhu Cao.

"It seems that the Zhou Mu has a lot of wonderful ideas..." Chen Qun came to Xun Yu. After receiving the enthronement, Chen Qun immediately set out, which was the first group to arrive.

After that, he brought a strong man to Xun Yu and came to help adjust the government structure. Chen Qun was more proficient than him in this regard.

The two are good at politics. On this basis, Xun Yu is a housekeeper, and everything in Bingzhou is managed in an orderly manner. Chen Qun is good at government affairs and is good at optimizing government affairs work and improving government affairs efficiency.

The reason why the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system was mainly to reform the existence of the Cao Wei political structure. Excluding some of the positions of the gentry themselves, the impact on later generations was actually as huge.

Just talking about the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which continued the Han Dynasty’s system of investigation and examination, and also served as a prerequisite for the imperial examination system. In the early days, this system could only be said to be completely tailor-made for the aristocratic families. However, considering the times, there were problems in the selection of talents in Cao Wei at that time, and Cao Pi or Cao Rui needed to obtain recognition and help from the aristocratic families.

At that time, the proposed Nine-rank Zhongzheng system was actually more of a compromise with the aristocratic families to make up for the impact of Cao Cao's three recruitment orders.

Unfortunately, the aristocratic family finally gave up on Cao Wei. Cao Pi and Cao Rui died too early, and Cao Wei's power began to fall into the hands of powerful officials. Sima Yi might be loyal, but Sima Shi already had other ideas.

With the leadership of Sima Shi and the foundation of Sima Zhao, Sima Yan successfully accepted the abdication and established the Western Jin Dynasty, or the Northern Jin Dynasty. After all, since the Jin Dynasty, all Chinese dynasties began to transition from the East and West dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"It is precisely because of this that we can be free from being single and appoint good talents. We don't even stick to routine constraints and make changes as they are convenient. But this kind of method that seems lazy can greatly improve the work efficiency of the government..." Xun Yu sighed.

"Wenruo, you and I are also old friends. Tell me, what is the idea of ​​the governor?" Chen Qun tried to ask, and directly modifying the inherent system of the court. Generally, the only thing that can be done is the Emperor of Han.

From this perspective, Liu Tao’s actions can even be said to be somewhat blatant.

"The lord is a relative of the Han Dynasty. What ideas can he have?" Xun Yu smiled. Friendship is friendship, and position is position. "Besides, the lord is also suffering from the problems of the previous system, so he wants to improve it. He uses Bingzhou as a pilot. If possible, he will naturally submit a report to the court to make modifications. Similar situations have been tried in many places."

Trialing this thing is really a panacea, and it can be used in many places. However, it must be admitted that trialing this can indeed avoid a certain policy that is not adapted to the local environment and lead to deterioration of people's livelihood.

Let’s talk about agricultural reform. After the trial was carried out in Yunzhong County, it began to be carried out in various Yunzhong counties, and then it started to be carried out in Dingxiang, Taiyuan and Shangdang. There was no need for Wuyuan and Yanmen, after all, Liu Tao decided to focus on grazing in that place.

Then there is the education reform, which has also begun to be piloted in the cloud. At most, after having enough academy sacrifices and mentors, it will begin to popularize to various counties. With perfect data and experience, and further promotion, there will be less resistance.

"In the past, Emperor Guangwu also participated in Emperor Gengshi..." Chen Qun was not deceived and directly cited Liu Xiu's example.

"That's why Emperor Gengshi wanted to kill Emperor Guangwu, so that Emperor Guangwu had to resist." Xun Yu smiled faintly.

"What a person has to resist..." Chen Qun shook his head. He had heard that Xun Yu had become a disciple under Liu Tao's command, but now it seems that it is true. It seems that the Xun family in Yingchuan may have started betting on Liu Tao.

So should the Chen family in Yingchuan bets too? Well, he has come here anyway, so let's observe for a while...

Liu Tao sent someone out to fight for Pi. Man Chong, Lu Qian and Chen Qun responded, but Liang Xi and Liu Fu did not respond. Of course, Liu Fu did not respond, mainly because his family said that Liu Fu went to Huainan, and he did not know where he went and could not tell him.

Although Liu Tao probably knew that Liu Fu would go to Huainan for a while, but he didn't expect that he would go so early.

As for Guan Ning, Guoyuan and Bing Yuan, they had already taken refuge in Liaodong, so they had to send people to Liaodong to find them. Liu Tao sent someone, after all, he also hoped to see if he could find Taishi Ci there.

Wang Xiu received it, but replied that he had already served as the chief clerk under Kong Rong's command, so he thanked Liu Tao for his kindness. Some people just did this and were slow to start, and maybe they would recruit others...

But some people have disappeared in various ways, such as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who have not been found yet.

I thought I might as well dig Lu Su over, and then I realized that this guy is only 18 years old this year. He is the only son in the family, and he lost his father since childhood, and his grandmother raised him. I guess he would not agree, so he came to Bingzhou to become an official.

By the way, this guy died at the age of 46, and I don’t know if it was a genetic disease. Fortunately, he had a posthumous son, Lu Shu, who died at the age of 58... It is certain that he was his biological child.
