After Cheng Yuan left, Zhang Yue locked himself in the bedroom in the backyard of the county government office, and wrote and painted on cloth all day long, and didn't know what he was busy with.

He handed over all the affairs of the county government to Hu Jian and Sang Jun to handle.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Xinfeng County now.

Now is July, the last month before the autumn harvest, and the month with the least official affairs in the year.

Because, at this time, the government will not assign any tasks to the people, nor will the people come to the government to find anything.

All people, all their energy, are concentrated in the fields and on the harvest that is about to begin.

It is just Zhao Guo who is busy. He takes Nongji officials all day long to appear in various township pavilions to guide the people and do their final work before the autumn harvest.

After staying in the bedroom for a day, Zhang Yue finally opened the door.

He put away the cloth in his hand with great satisfaction. After spending a day and a night, he finally drew out the three-dimensional diagram of the curved plow and the chariot from later generations.

In fact, the drawings of these two devices are not complicated, but Zhang Yue's painting skills are worrying, and he has never learned to draw.

I can't even help with space, so I can only copy it bit by bit according to the patterns in my mind.

I had burned countless brain cells to death, and I spent countless efforts, but I finally recovered these two killing weapons.

"Next, it depends on whether the craftsmen in the Shaofu can make plowshares..." Zhang Yue thought to himself that the Quyuan Plow had seen the real thing in later generations. It was when he was very young, and his grandfather took him to cultivate the land. In his memory, the ploughshares of the Quyuan Plow were made of steel.

In this era, although there are so-called steelmaking and steel filling technology.

However, this kind of steel produced by purely manual and personal technology has a small output and high price, which is not affordable to ordinary people.

Although the current iron smelting industry of the Han Dynasty is developed, it produces at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron every year (as early as 40 years ago, the pig iron production of Cheng Zheng and Zhuo families in Linqiong reached an annual output of more than 200,000 kilograms. At the same time, the Kongnun family in Nanyang also had similar outputs. The iron production of Han Shaofu is now stronger than that of the private iron smelting workshops forty years ago!)

In the Han Dynasty, iron smelting was charcoal smelting, so the quality of pig iron was pretty good.

Although China's iron ore itself has a high sulfur content, it is still OK to use it as a civilian plowshare.

The only question is whether the craftsmen in Shaofu can make suitable plowshares and reduce their costs.

In Zhang Yue's vision, the cost of the curved plow has been controlled below 4,000 qian.

It's best not to exceed three thousand yuan!

Because if it is high, ordinary people can't afford it.

Just like in history, the second-big quarrel technology promoted by Zhao Guo in fact promoted the formation of aristocratic politics and the formation of a clan!

Because, an ordinary family of five self-cultivated farmers cannot afford to raise two cows, and even small landlords cannot afford to support them.

Therefore, even if the landlords and powerful people did not use any means, their wealth accumulation speed quickly surpassed their neighbors.

This directly led to the polarization and class solidification of social classes in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.

One side is getting richer and the other side is getting poorer.

Finally, the class has completely solidified and poor families can no longer have noble children.

Fortunately, this is China.

It is China that is illuminated and influenced by the ideas of various schools of thought in the Warring States Period.

In history, Wang Mang even made a reform of equal landscaping. Although the reform failed in the end, when it was not hurt by the interests of the landlords and nobles at the beginning, many people praised it.

Just like some time ago, the Gongyang School developed the "abolitionist" trend.

It also influenced many noble landlords and released their slaves one after another.

It's also considered a good thing.

In the Western Continental period of the same period, Zhang Yue remembered that the reform of the famous Gragu brothers had been cut into parts before it even began.

This is still Rome.

If it were in the Middle Ages, the Gragu brothers would probably have been on the stake!

But in China, if you just shout "equal land and abolish slaves" on your lips, you may even become a vicious person in the wild.

Even if it is put into practice, as long as it does not arouse public anger and makes the landlords and powerful people feel deeply painful, there is probably no problem. Maybe it can still be regarded as a sage of the world.

Just like when Dong Zhongshu was alive, in addition to promoting the "resonance of heaven and man", the most fierce one was "limiting people's famous fields". Then he had the famous saying "The poor have no place to stand, and the rich have a wilderness", so Confucianism has suffered from "the infatuation in the well field".

From Wang Mang to the Southern Song Dynasty, I don’t know how many great scholars and officials have all attacked the real world.

For Confucian scholars, no matter which faction they belong to, the Wellfield system is always their greatest common divisor.

The only difference is that some people think that to save the world, they must immediately go to the well-field system, while others think that they should proceed step by step and take it slowly, while others just shout.

In ancient China (outside the Mongolian Yuan and Qing dynasties), the issue of equalizing the fields has always been the g-point of literati and doctors.

If a famous scholar has not talked about this topic, he may not become a famous scholar.

Even if someone does not support equalizing the land, then he will be considered to be without conscience.

How can you be so bad?

Haven't you seen the people in the world be exploited so miserably by those corrupt officials and powerful people?

Doesn’t your conscience hurt?

But Zhang Yue didn't want to touch the restricted land at all... let alone equal land!

Because, he knew that even if he could really equalize the fields, it would be useless!

To be honest, under the rule of the Legalists of the Qin Dynasty, individual land limits were strictly controlled. Under the system of 21-level military meritorious lords with names, land and houses, no one can be an exception.

However, have the social problems been solved?

Are farmers full?

Not!

In fact, limiting or equalizing the land can only treat symptoms.

If productivity cannot be increased, even if one hundred acres of land is forced to be allocated for each household, there is no way.

After two or three generations, the suppressed contradictions will still break out.

The only feasible way is to increase productivity.

If one acre of land can produce ten stones of grain, then there is no need to limit the fields and equalize the fields. Now most of the social contradictions in the Han Dynasty can be solved at once.

The world can immediately run into the rule of the Three Dynasties.

Even if the yield per mu is doubled to four stones, the middle class and self-cultivated farmers can live much better.

As a local official, and a bureaucrat who can influence national policies in the future.

Zhang Yue knew that what he should do was to reconcile the contradictions.

If you can't kill and kill like the Legalists, if you kill all the people, the problem will still exist.

We cannot just like the Guliang School, shrink our heads and surrender to the big clan landlords, and join forces with them.

And the curved plow and carriage carry such expectations.

The curved plows born thousands of years ahead of time and the cradles that appeared several years ahead of time (the final version that has been improved by countless years) are enough to greatly improve productivity.

With the seeds of space optimization, Zhang Yue feels that he should set a small goal for himself. Next year, the average wheat yield per mu in Xinfeng Public Field and Promotion Field will reach five stones!

Such a goal should be no problem.

Just as he was thinking about these things, he saw Sang Jun come over and report: "Shizhong, a few days ago, the Shizhong ordered his junior officer to return to Beijing to discuss matters with my father, but now there is a result..."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was overjoyed!

A few days ago, Zhang Yue asked Sang Jun to go back and discuss with Sang Hongyang to combine the salt, iron officials, market officials and other industrial and commercial affairs in Xinfeng, and set up a new institution.

Zhang Yue adopted the establishment of this institution by later generations of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Development and Reform Commission and the Public Security Bureau.

It is still led by the Grand Secretary, but it is directly under the jurisdiction of Xinfeng.

The appointment and use of officials is also determined by Xinfeng, but the benefits are 55% open.

Half of it was left to Xinfeng, and half was handed over to the Dashi Agricultural Inner Trust.

Zhang Yue felt that Sang Hongyang could not refuse.

Then Sang Jun said, "My father replied: The things proposed by the Shizhong are very good, but... they are good at setting up an official office, I am afraid that your Majesty will be there..."

Zhang Yue scratched his head as he heard this, and said, "It's enough for the emperor to go petition... As long as the Grand Secretary's farmer doesn't object and is willing to cooperate..."

If the Grand Minister Nong disagrees with this matter, Zhang Yue will have no choice.

After all, the resources and the entire system are in the hands of the Grandma Nong.

"If this is the case..." Sang Jun couldn't suppress his joy: "There will be no objection to the Grand Secretary!"

His father said a lot of things in his letter.

There is no doubt that the method proposed by Zhang Yue also gave the Grand Secretary’s farmers, especially Sang Hongyang, a brand new idea.

Nowadays, everyone knows that eating alone is hated.

But the Grandma Governor had to eat alone, probably because today's appetite is too big!

And the brains are too big!

Today, spending money has never been planned, warned, or warning.

Just like when this Majesty went from Chang'an to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat, he saw many nobles of the marquis and nobles at the foot of Ganquan Mountain and built a summer resort at the foot of this royal garden.

He suddenly ordered the area of ​​Ganquan Palace to be expanded three times, and all the noble manors were demolished, and the entire Ganquan Mountain turned into a royal territory.

What can the ministers do?

I could only try my best to find a way to raise money for him.

Also, when His Majesty went out to hunt, he accidentally stepped on the farmer's crops and was chased and scolded by the people.

After returning, he was depressed and finally ordered the area of ​​Shanglinyuan to double the size so that he could hunt happily.

This is another astronomical expense.

But no one dares to object or stop it!

In the past few decades, only one minister has been able to stop His Majesty from spending money at will.

That is the former Shangshu Ling and Huaiyin prefect Ji An.

Unfortunately, this old man has passed away for twenty or thirty years.

Therefore, the Grand Secretary became the target of the entire civil servant system.

I don’t know how many people gritted their teeth and wanted to kill the Dashinong and the salt and iron system.

If Zhang Yue's plan is feasible, it will not affect the income of the Grand Master's own, and may even increase the income.

Then you will make a lot of money!

Even if it doesn’t work, you can still express your kindness to the people of the world: I, Sang Hongyang, don’t really want to eat alone!

The biggest beneficiary of this plan, besides Zhang Yue, the pioneer, is of course his supervisor.

If you achieve success, Sang Jun will even have the chance to become the Nine Minister in the future!

Maybe even take over the old father’s work!

This stimulus alone makes Sang Jun unable to control himself, acts extremely well, and works motivated max.

Zhang Yue was relieved when he heard this, and took Sang Jun's hand and said, "This matter is thanks to Sang Ling's handling and turning around. In the future, we will ask Sang Ling's official to worry about the affairs of this new yamen..."

"Don't dare..." Sang Jun immediately bowed: "The subordinates just abide by their duties and serve the Shizhong and His Highness!"

"Since this new institution is mainly in charge of industrial and commercial affairs, it is called the Industrial and Commercial Bureau..." Zhang Yue said: "Its specific functions and department settings are set up. After I return from Chang'an, I will discuss with Sang Lingjie..."

"No!" Sang Jun nodded.

"As for the officials..." Zhang Yue smiled and said, "But I have to work hard to bring a hundred new people to teach and supervise them..."

The problem of redundant officials in the Xinfeng Public Examination was solved with the reply from the Grand Secretary.

As long as the new Industrial and Commercial Bureau is put on a stand, not to mention a few times more, it can be easily digested.

After all, even the experience of the Han Dynasty proved that the one that can best digest and accommodate bureaucrats has always been institutions related to industry, commerce and handicrafts.

You are like the Han Shao Mansion, with hundreds of thousands of employees, so huge that you can handle almost everything, and even have your own arms. It's simply a bug!

Besides, Zhang Yue now has countless ways to make money in his mind and is eager to try it out.

"Let me take Xinfeng as the basis and try to see if I can make industrial and commercial tax the government's largest tax before B.C.!" Zhang Yue thought to himself.

This seems a bit difficult?

But it's not too difficult.

Relying on salt and iron income, the farmers can surpass the land tax and become the second largest tax source after tax calculation.

In the years when Yang Ke was telling the bank, the income of the Grand Secretary’s farmers was even twice as high as the land tax, and the tax was calculated.

Of course, Yang Ke is killing the chicken to get eggs...

As a time traveler, Zhang Yue naturally understood and knew what a terrible bureaucracy state-owned enterprises were!

In particular, when Sang Hongyang took the lead in playing the official business of salt and iron and alcohol sales, he only needed to develop several products that consumed huge amounts and had good profits.

Several powerful cash cows can be raised in Xinfeng in minutes, and can continuously provide profits.

And in this world, as long as you have money, nothing can be solved.

If so, it must be that the money is not enough!

Thinking of these things, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He couldn't wait to go back to Nanling and take a look at the bamboos he had soaked in the puddle more than two months ago.

Calculate the time, the soaked bamboo is almost ready to come out of water.

Then you can try to start making white paper before the BC, and it is a very high-quality book paper!

Even light toilet paper!

Even... luxury grade rice paper!

These are all profitable transactions!

And it can temporarily monopolize business and exclusively sell products!

The profits of the paper industry are so large, so Zhang Yue plans to operate it as his own industry.

After all, he also has to spend money, and it costs a lot!

But it can be a win-win situation!

For example, put paper products in the official product catalog and sell them by Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Bureau...

Or leave it to the Grand Secretary to sell...
Chapter completed!
