"I hope that I can come up with my opinions on what I want to talk about today!" Li Yuanxing's opening remarks were completely different from yesterday. He mentioned three things, but all three things needed to be discussed in detail. This made Li Yuanxing somewhat helpless.
But it can be considered a good start.
"Let's talk about measuring the fields first. To measure or not to measure?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
As the head of Tianying Pavilion, Wang Jishan understands that important matters can be put aside first, and some things must be more or less efficient, otherwise there will be a reputation for sabotage and dereliction of duty. After all, the people are also waiting for the results. This is already
On the third day, something must be truly announced in front of the people.
Therefore, after Wang Jishan discussed with several deputy cabinet masters, Wang Jishan answered Li Yuanxing's question.
"Your Highness, Tianying Pavilion proposes to add 3,666 officials. The main responsibility of these officials is to deal with agriculture. It is planned to be deployed within three years. They must be officials who have passed the Royal Academy assessment and truly understand agriculture."
The ministry has calculated that the prefecture level is from the fifth to the sixth grade, and the county level is from the sixth to the seventh grade. According to His Highness's agricultural promotion order, adding these officials will effectively increase the grain harvest, then
It is far ten times or even a hundred times higher than their salary."
Li Yuanxing understood.
To put it bluntly, these officials are the agricultural technicians of later generations.
Wang Jishan added: "There is always someone responsible for surveying the fields. The chief officials of the prefectures and counties are responsible, but they also need to be responsible for the specific tasks. Food is a major matter of the country."
"I want the results!" Li Yuanxing immediately bypassed this process.
Wang Jishan originally wanted to say how many people should be allocated to Shangzhou and how many people should be allocated to Xiazhou. The Tang Dynasty now has more than 300 states and 1,560 counties. Shangzhou must be allocated three people.
It is very likely that two counties, or even three counties, will be allocated to one person.
Since His Highness the King of Qin wants the result, let's vote.
"On the issue of adding agricultural officials, the participants voted, and those who agreed raised their hands."
Li Yuanxing watched with interest as the clerks counted the number of people raising their hands, but he was thinking in his mind, when did the Tang Dynasty become democratic? When did this voting system begin to be implemented?
Is it due to my own influence, or is it a natural occurrence because there are too many people to unify their opinions.
While Li Yuanxing was thinking, the results of the counting of votes had come out.
"Your Highness, we agree 90% of the time. One of the five pavilion masters is absent. None of the four have objections. If His Majesty and Your Highness do not use a single vote to object, then the case of adding new agricultural officials will be passed."
Li Yuanxing nodded: "I have no objection."
"Then next, should we select personnel, study at the Agricultural College for two months, and then take up their posts in the winter. These will be put to good use in the spring of next year." Wang Jishan asked again.
Li Yuanxing asked, "Do we need to set a target?"
"Indicator?" Wang Jishan didn't quite understand the word.
Indicator is a modern word. After Li Yuanxing explained it, he added: "Each county should have a task, how much land, and how many people. Those who meet the standards will naturally be rewarded, and those who fail will naturally be punished. It's just in the officialdom. After a long time,
Someone will cheat, and what was originally a good thing will become a whitewash!"
Quantitative management?
Wu Zhao was familiar with this term, but officials of the Tang Dynasty were not necessarily familiar with it.
Rule by man, rule the world by virtue, this is Confucianism. Rule by law. This is the thought of Legalism, use rules to rule the world.
"Old minister objects!"
Li Yuanxing didn't even need to look, he already knew in his heart that this was Yao Silian. He was definitely opposed to putting people under terms and conditions to manage them. As a Confucian thinker, the first thing that comes to mind is the morality of officials, and he insists on setting a higher standard.
He couldn't accept it.
After getting up, Yao Silian said: "Your Highness doubts the ability of officials when they are not on duty. This will chill the hearts of all officials."
"Nonsense, the army ordered how many miles to march in one day and how many days to capture the target. This is the plan, it's not that I don't believe it. When giving the military order, do you have to say that it will be up to the general who leads the troops?
"
"The army is the army, and government affairs are government affairs!"
"Old guy, don't think that just because you have read a lot of books, you have a sharp tongue..." The general was about to give a long speech. A fifth-rank official from the Admonition Court also stood up: "General, don't be anxious.
A gentleman talks but does not use his hands. Let me argue with Mr. Yao!"
Why should we debate something?
Li Yuanxing was a little helpless and put all his plans to Wang Jishan: "Your Majesty, I still have some official affairs to deal with. If these things are feasible or not, please give me your opinion. If they are not feasible, please give me the reasons.
Even if it is possible, some details will have to be discussed.”
"More!" Li Er also spoke.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty!" Wang Jishan stood up and replied.
"All the superior governors are also busy with government affairs. After asking everyone for their opinions, ideas and requests, don't waste too much time." Li Er also said that these superior governors cannot all be trapped in Chang'an City.
Yes, each province still has countless government affairs to deal with.
Wu Zhao doesn't want to stay here anymore.
What Li Er and Li Yuanxing didn't expect was that these superior governors were following their previous ideas and would spend more than ten days on the road alone. In addition, they would have to go back and wait to be summoned, so they would have at least three days to arrange for themselves.
months, and most of the time arranged by the governor is to go back after the New Year.
Now that they are here, there must be many things to resolve.
With only the five items of taxation, education, government troops, technology distribution and workshop investment, they must compete for a higher or lower level.
Li Er, Li Yuanxing, and Wu Zhao had just left the venue. The two governors of Longxi Road and Hedong Road left their seats and stood face to face, looking at each other without any avoidance.
Almost at the same time, the two of them spoke: "Fengzhou belongs to Longxi (Hedong Road)"
After looking at each other, the two of them turned their attention back to Xiao Yu. He could be said to be the most special person among the twelve Taoists plus Jing Zhao, with extremely high prestige.
But before they could ask Xiao Yu for comment, the governor of Hebei Province came to Xiao Yu: "Jian'an was originally transferred to our Hebei Province, and now it is returned to your Liaodong Road. But the new city of Shenyang is the financial, material and manpower of our Hebei Province.
If they are piled up, there must be an explanation for this matter."
"His Royal Highness King Qin has actually made a decision in his mind. The location of the first dam is at the junction of Henan Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road. Your Hebei Road occupies the least..."
OK! Several senior governors actually sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up the map and started arguing.
Of course, there are also friendly ones.
Li Shentong sat on the chair next to Feng Ang and whispered: "Hello, Mr. Feng!" "Hello, Mr. Li!"
After the two of them bowed to each other, Li Shentong called the governor of Jiangnan Road over and said: "A certain person in Huainan Road has ordered all pearls to be graded and priced. We all have pearls in the three provinces. If the merchants lower the prices of each other,
The business will be disrupted. The taxes of our three provinces will be affected. The pearls of Jeju Island and the peninsula will not be available until at least a year later. I have already discussed it with the King of Han, King Jing, and the old Cheng family. As long as it is not
No matter what, they follow the standards negotiated by us. So there must always be a suitable standard!"
"This is a great thing!" Feng An expressed his support.
"Jiangnan Province also supports it. It is estimated that the first batch of Quanzhou pearls will be available in the spring of next year. It is indeed a good thing to set a standard first. Of course, my opinion from Jiangnan Province is that the renovation of the canal is also for Lingnan.
Huainan will benefit, so we cannot let Jiangnan Road support it."
Feng An was born as a general, and he was the most direct and happy in everything he did.
"I am not good at doing these things, but I have brought a few officials. Regarding the pearl grading matter, one of my officials has prepared a document. It was originally intended to be reported to the Prince of Qin's Palace. Since the two of them are interested, they should plan in detail.
Let’s talk about it. Regarding the canal, I support it, but I don’t understand the details! I just know that the one from Yuezhou, Hengzhou, Tanzhou, Chenzhou, Zhaozhou to Guangzhou City is needed!
"
As soon as the two governors heard this line, they realized that Feng An had misrepresented the two states.
But it doesn't matter, this waterway is indeed very important, and then going up. From Yuezhou to Jiangzhou, along the Yangtze River to Hangzhou, the transportation capacity of the inner canal will increase hundreds of times, which is far better than using people to lift cars.
"Let me talk first!" The governor of Jiangnan Road also found a map and began to discuss.
Li Yuanxing and Li Er were sitting in the study, ready to breathe a sigh of relief and wait for lunch. Eunuch Gao brought someone in, but instead of bringing lunch, they brought a box of paper.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, these are the minutes of the morning meeting. They are all important parts."
"That's all in one morning?" Li Er was a little surprised. Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "I know that the officials of the Tang Dynasty are very economical on paper. After writing so much, they wasted a lot.
"
Li Yuanxing was wrong.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty were really very economical on paper. Half of these contents required careful thinking before they could be understood. The other half simply did not need to be understood and required someone to translate them.
Regarding the pearl grading suggestions made by Feng An, Li Shentong and others, such complicated content only had eighteen characters. Li Er understood it, and these people wrote all the important parts in these eighteen characters.
Li Yuanxing didn't understand. He only knew about the grading of pearls, and all three of them thought it was good.
In addition to the part that Li Yuanxing understood, Li Er also knew that the classification is divided into two categories: sea and lake, and then divided into subcategories based on color, size, and shape, and then subdivided according to each species. This is shiny.
Yuanrun and others have considered it.
For example, among the eighteen characters, "smooth and bright" is just one word in Li Yuanxing's opinion.
In Li Er's view, this is the three meanings of gloss, roundness and beauty.
After Wu Zhao gave Li Yuanxing a look of contempt, he urged Eunuch Gao to prepare lunch because she was hungry.
PS: The river crab appears. I have been under a lot of pressure these days. I started checking from the beginning, just for fear of finding any words that would attract the mythical beast river crab.
In short, there will be no shortage of updates, no matter how tired and hard it is, writers are the ones who make the most of it. There will be no shortage of updates, and there will be no shortage of updates, not to mention the possibility of breaking updates.
