Chapter forty-ninth, improve the organizational system
Yang Peng let the Eighth Prince, Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo and Mrs. She enter his official hall. The Eighth Prince said, "Seeing your drill today, I feel more relieved. I hope Mr. Yang can save him this time."
The Song Dynasty was in crisis. I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xiao was so insidious. If it weren't for your intelligence work, the Song Dynasty would really have moved its capital, and the north of the Yangtze River would be in war again. This time, thank you Mr. Yang."
Yang Peng said, "Eighth Prince, I am also a Han, okay? Even without us, Empress Dowager Xiao's trick would be difficult to succeed. Eighth Prince, you are also a wise prince. In addition, Mr. Kou has the talents of the world and the earth to get through this time."
If it's a difficult situation, don't flatter me." Kou Zhun didn't think of Empress Dowager Xiao's conspiracy this time. Hearing Yang Peng talk about him like this, he blushed. Kou Zhun came here with a completely distrustful attitude.
You see... and Kou Zhun was completely loyal to the Song Dynasty and was 100% loyal to the Song Dynasty official family.
The Eighth Prince asked, "Mr. Yang, I want to buy your salt." Yang Peng said, "Our products here are completely open to the Song Dynasty, and the price is very reasonable. A pound of fine salt is fifty cents. This price
It’s twice as much as your price in the market. You can ask for any amount. It’s best for your government to set up a yellow merchant’s firm. In this way, the government doesn’t have to look at the face of the Ministry of Accounts. If you want to use some money, you have to go to the Ministry of Accounts to ask for it.
, I wouldn’t be able to lose this face if it were me. Soap, soap, and food are all fine, but we don’t do credit here, we only buy in cash.”
The Eighth Prince then asked, "Can you sell us your flintlock guns?" Yang Peng said, "It's not impossible. Firstly, the price is too high. Secondly, many people in the court have contacts with the Khitan people. Eighth Prince, you
Look, the machine crossbow was originally the most powerful weapon of the Song Dynasty. Now it seems that even the Khitan Hundreds have machine crossbows. This kind of machine crossbow cannot be developed by the Khitan people. Do you think so, Eighth Prince? Not now.
Do you know how many machine crossbows were sold to the Khitans? The machine crossbows you call are strong crossbows, which are modified by Zhuge Liannu. They are the larger ones. Look, they would rather sell them to the Khitan people than use them to the Yang Jiajun.
I sold the gun to you, and you sold it to the Khitans. Then the threat we face from the Khitans will be greater. In this way, I will sell it to you except for the palace guards to protect the officials. You must be sure to use it when you use it.
Register every soldier, and only those who have families in Bianjing. This will make it easier to control. We can also help you train and send a few instructors there, that's fine too."
The Eighth Prince, look at it, let’s wait until this crisis is over, let’s talk about it. The Eighth Prince thinks about it, and the Eighth Prince also knows that a large number of crossbows have been sold to the Liao Kingdom. The officials of the Song Dynasty were unable to do anything to face this phenomenon.
, everyone’s conversation basically had a good result. The Eighth Prince was also very happy. He didn’t expect that the conversation would go so smoothly. Even Mrs. She didn’t expect that everything they talked about was for the Yang family. This
The Yang family was extremely happy. At the very least, the exile of Pan Renmei's family was settled, and the rest had to take its time. The most unexpected thing for Mrs. She was to exchange two cities for the Yang family's Martyrs' Shrine.
It is the greatest contribution to the Yang family. The dead are dead, but the living are the most important. This old lady She thought very clearly.
In addition, Mrs. She has dug out nearly a hundred lead pipes at home, which also proves what Liu Zhiliang said. The Yang family hates the official family of the Song Dynasty, but thousands of years of education have always held that if the king tells the minister to die, the minister must die.
Sticking to people's thoughts, Mrs. She finally let it go, but she didn't expect that Yang Peng would still refuse. Yang Peng must give an explanation to the court and give Yang Qilang an explanation, because Lin Qing'er really put Yang Peng
Yang Peng still understands the family motto of Zhu Xi, saying that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring as his own child. Moreover, Yang Peng is not willing to face the Liao cavalry directly. He is not willing to die from time to time.
seen.
The next day, Duan Zhixian of the Huben Regiment sent someone to deliver corn and a large amount of gold, silver and jewels. When the Eight Sage Kings came out and took a look, they knew that Yang Peng and the others had won the battle again. The corn was nearly one hundred and two carts away.
, and dozens of taels of silver and gold and silver jewelry. Kou Zhun's eyes were red with this. It seemed that Yang Peng was right. As long as there was a war, there would be money to be made. This group of people really was not a loser.
Fighting in the court means spending money. Sometimes the court's inventory is exhausted in a single battle. It's not like Yang Peng and the others who can make so much money from just one battle. This time, they won't spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
There is so much food.
Yang Peng asked about the general situation and said to Guan Shan, "Place one battalion in Daqingshan, and return all the others to their original garrison. As for the men of this battalion, I asked Duan Zhixian to recruit them for me. Don't affect our situation."
Deployment." Guan Shan left immediately after receiving Yang Peng's instructions. Yang Peng looked at the corn. He was also very happy. He immediately thought that corn was not available in the Song Dynasty at this time, and he could plant 10,000 acres first.
Yang Peng ignored the Eighth Prince and they walked into the official hall alone. Yang Peng knew that the main problem in the Song Dynasty was the lack of food. One acre of corn represented the output of five acres of land in the Song Dynasty. Yang Peng returned to the study room of the official hall and immediately
Then she began to record the methods of growing corn. Lin Qing'er said to Mrs. She, "This little monkey, I don't know what he has discovered. It must be a good thing. Otherwise, he will leave without caring about etiquette, this little monkey." Mrs. She.
Jun said, "Sister, can you just smile secretly? It won't be long before the whole Song Dynasty knows that you have accepted a good apprentice and show filial piety. Even at that time, Qi Lang was not as filial as your apprentice, which makes me, a sister, envious.
"
Yang Peng is thinking about the cultivation of corn. Corn has been cultivated in my history for more than 470 years. It seems to be only found in Southeast Asia and Western countries. This bandit suppression should be preserved because the bandits did not know how to eat corn. But because of corn
The yield is high, the quality is good, the adaptability is strong, and the cultivation area is developing rapidly. At present, Yang Peng wants to plant an area of about 10,000 acres, ranking third among food crops after rice and wheat.
In Yang Peng's mind, it is second only to the Nanyang period. Yang Peng also has rich experience in corn cultivation technology. Sowing: The natural conditions of the corn production areas in the Song Dynasty vary greatly, and it should be based on the local frost period length and soil texture.
, soil fertility, planting month, choose suitable varieties, feed corn and dent hybrids have high yields. Also pay attention to the breeding of improved varieties, and appropriately arrange the seed field area. The sowing period of corn is affected by temperature and humidity. Spring sowing
The optimal sowing period is when corn stabilizes at 15c in the upper layer of 7.6cm.
In Youzhou area, summer corn is sown in time after the wheat or peas are harvested. The sowing depth is 2.5--10cm depending on the soil moisture, with 5-6cm being the most suitable. The seeding rate per mu is 3-4kg, and the seeding rate is 4000-6000 plants per mu.
Use the planting method of corn. Single sowing makes it easy to operate mechanically from planting to harvesting. Intercropping with soybeans, sock beans, peas, and wild rice can increase the protein yield per unit area. Management: Corn plants are tall, with high yields of grains, stems, and leaves.
, requires meticulous management. Fertilization, irrigation, chemical weeding and pest control are key technical measures in high-yield cultivation and management of corn. To obtain high-yield and high-quality corn, apply 2000-3000kg of high-quality manure per acre as base fertilizer before sowing. Corn likes half
It has an arid climate, but is very sensitive to water. During the flowering period, one corn plant consumes about 2kg of water per day, 3-4m3 per mu per day, and 250-350m3 during the entire growth period. Different growth corns have different water needs. Before tasseling
From 10 days to 10 days after tasseling, corn requires the most water and is most sensitive to water in its life, which is called the "critical water demand period".
Irrigation is required during this period. Corn generally needs to be watered 3-4 times in its life, which varies according to different regions and specific conditions. Irrigation methods in our country are mostly furrow irrigation and border irrigation. Recently, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation have been developed. The latter two methods are used.
It not only saves water, but also irrigates evenly. Corn is not resistant to waterlogging. In areas with high groundwater levels and heavy rainfall in the south, attention should be paid to drainage or ridge cultivation and combined field cultivation methods should be adopted to prevent waterlogging. Leaf spot and head smut often occur in corn.
, smut, black-streaked dwarf, bacterial wilt and other diseases as well as armyworms, corn borers, mole crickets, cutworms, grubs and other pests. Care should be taken to select disease-resistant varieties, strengthen cultivation management, rational crop rotation and chemical control measures.
Prevent and control pests and diseases in a timely manner.
Yang Peng was happy that the land from here to Youzhou was basically a plain. A large amount of land was idle and no landlords occupied it. Yang Peng decided that the army would reclaim 10,000 acres and plant all the corn here.
Corn has high yield and strong adaptability. The grains of corn are rich in nutrients in the stem and are high-quality feed for various livestock. It takes 5.6kg of corn grains to produce one kilogram of pork and 10kg of one kilogram of beef. 100kg of corn grains is equivalent to 135kg of oats.
, 125kg of sorghum, 130k of barley. It is an indispensable feed for beef cattle, dairy cows, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry and fish. The entire corn plant can be fed, with a utilization rate of more than 85%. It is a famous "feed"
"King" corn has crude protein, less fiber, and good palatability; all kinds of livestock like to eat it. The content of lysine, tryptophan and methionine in corn grains is insufficient, and generally contains lysine. It is a new variety recently developed abroad.
Some are as high as 5%. Each part of corn contains different amino acid compositions, and the kernels are the most abundant. Corn is also rich in trace elements.
It has been determined that corn kernels contain vitamins and the organic matter digestibility of corn is relatively high. Corn is used as feed in 85% of developed countries, and the kernels are concentrate for pigs, chickens, dairy cows, and beef cattle. Green mowing and silage corn are essential feed for dairy cows.
.With the development of production, corn has become increasingly important as a feed crop in our country.
The nutritional content of corn is relatively comprehensive, generally containing 8.5% protein, 4.3% fat, 73.2% carbohydrates, 0.022% calcium, 21% phosphorus, 0.0016% iron, and also contains carotene, vitamins b1, b2, niacin and gluten.
Alcohol, lecithin, vitamin E, lysine, etc. The latest research points out that corn contains an anti-cancer factor-glutathione. Domestic and foreign nutritionists give corn a high evaluation and believe that: the gluten contained in corn
Thione has anti-cancer effects. It can combine with a variety of carcinogens in the human body, causing these substances to lose their carcinogenicity; the cellulose contained in corn is a carbohydrate that cannot be absorbed by the human body, which can reduce the intestinal tract function of the human body.
It can reduce the concentration of carcinogens in the intestinal tract and reduce the accumulation of toxin-secreting humus in the intestine, thereby reducing the incidence of colon and rectal cancer; the lignin contained in corn can increase the activity of "macrophages" in the human body
Increased by 2 to 3 times, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of cancer; corn also contains a large amount of mineral magnesium, and the magnesium in food has obvious anti-cancer effects.
After Yang Peng wrote it down, it was getting late at this time. Yang Peng didn't even know that he had been in the study for nearly four hours and hadn't eaten lunch. When he came out, he saw Lin Qing'er waiting for him to eat. Yang Peng's eyes turned red.
, I was also very moved in my heart. The master is the master, and he will wait for me to eat even if it is late. When I first started practicing martial arts with the master, I knew that there was very little food at that time, and the master himself could not eat enough, so he had to take care of Yang Peng's food every day.
The masters all went out to hunt some game to increase Yang Peng's nutrition.
Yang Peng walked up to the master and said, "Master, let's go eat." Lin Qing'er said, "What a good thing! You are so nervous." Yang Peng said, "The food brought back by Duan Zhixian and others this time is something we don't have in the Song Dynasty. I
A group called Zhang Xiang is going to try to plant 10,000 acres. This grain is called corn, and one acre contains more than two thousand kilograms. In the future, we will no longer have to worry about grain here. It will be planted in a large area. The common people of the Song Dynasty
We no longer have to worry about going hungry, and if we win the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, we can also promote planting in the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture."
Lin Qing'er said, "That's true, haha. You don't have to see anyone starve to death anymore. What you do is a great virtue. Just go ahead and do it?" Yang Peng said, "Currently our territory is mainly divided into
It is divided into three parts, Tianjing New City, Dagou and Yanshan County. The three sites are not affiliated with each other and it is difficult to manage effectively. We discussed it and felt that a unified government should be established." The next day Yang Peng sent Zhang
Xiang, Duan Zhixian, Lin Qing'er, Mrs. She, Hua Jieyu, Zhou Yunjing, Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei, Zhao Jinxi, Cheng Shijie, Yang Tong, and a group of scholars and craftsman Cai Huaishui served as representatives and held a meeting in the official hall.
Tianjing New City has a population of 100,000, and the population in rural areas is close to 200,000. Master, as long as we popularize new education, the probability of producing talents will be higher. What Yang Peng is afraid of is the emergence of new education and traditional Confucianism.
It would be bad if the conflict escalates. "I plan to establish a Ministry of Etiquette, with you as the Minister of Etiquette, and you will be fully responsible for the expansion of education. This is a heavy responsibility, thank you for your hard work, master."
Lin Qing'er was originally the principal of the current school, and all the talented people were her students. She also has the status of a master. If she focuses on education, she can save a lot of trouble. She can have something to do and does not need to be trapped in the house. Lin Qing'er
Her son couldn't be happier. "The city has a large population. If we build a comprehensive school, we may not have enough manpower." Yang Peng had already thought clearly about her worries.
"Put aside the middle school for the time being, and establish the primary school first. It is more important to popularize basic knowledge first, so that more people can read, read, or learn a skill. After five years, only those who excel in learning can be promoted to middle school, and most of the others
I guess I still have to go to work." In addition, Yang Peng has taken in nearly two thousand orphans, all of whom are under the age of twelve. Yang Peng does not intend to cultivate all students into talented people, which is unrealistic. In his
In our imagination, there are two main purposes of primary schools.
One is literacy, so that young children can stop being blind and at least be able to understand things and not be easily deceived. The second function is to train basic skills. Most people are still troubled by food and clothing. Making money to survive is the most important thing.
The issue they consider is to allow children to learn skills in school, and at least after graduating from elementary school, they can enter factories and other places and become qualified industrial workers.
Unexpectedly, this problem was not a problem for scholars. "This is great. Not only can children from various families go to school, but also children of ordinary people can benefit." Yang Peng asked with concern: "I'm afraid of some conservative
The old scholar is dissatisfied." Lin Qing'er chuckled and said: "It is a great benevolence to establish a school. It was like this when Bianjing Academy and other schools became popular in the world. At worst, we should also add some classics and meaning courses to our school. After all, students also need it.
Reading and literacy are just the best of both worlds.”
Zhao Jinxi clapped his hands and said yes. "That's it. As long as the Four Books and Five Classics are taught in our school, no one can say anything. As for the main courses, it is not up to us." Today is a big event, and who should come.
Everyone came. Zhang Xiang reported the situation to Yang Peng on behalf of everyone.
In the past, there was no overall planning for the administration of the New Army. They occupied one place and managed it. Tianjing New City is where Yang Peng started, but the only places that the New Army can really control are Tianjing New City and Tianjing.
Xinchengcheng is controlled by Yang Peng.
After Yanshan County was still under the previous county magistrate, some big families came to join him, but the current administrative model is still the same as before.
Needless to say, Dagou. There is no big city here, it is full of countryside, but the area is vast. Previously, only a few village-level managers were arranged, each responsible for one area, but they were all directly responsible to Yang Peng.
As a result, administrative efficiency is low. Everyone knows that if you want to develop and grow, you must establish a political power. The basis of political power is the administrative system. The New Army must have its own administrative system. Yang Peng
He has long been dissatisfied with this situation, and everyone's thoughts coincide with his.
"What is the result of your discussion?" Huang Guang said: "Our opinion is that we must establish a center to take charge of local management. This will prevent each locality from acting independently and even constraining each other."
Yang Peng went straight to the topic. "About the cabinet, what do you think?" Liu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly: "We haven't reached a consensus yet. Some people suggest following Tang Dynasty rule, and some people propose adapting measures to local conditions. No one has any idea, so I still want to ask you.
The idea." Yang Peng was silent, thinking in his heart. It is definitely not possible to rely on the system of the Song Dynasty. The system of the Song Dynasty is too chaotic, the power of the civil servants is too great, and the power of the county magistrate is also too great. If they all have the power of life and death, it will definitely not work.
As early as when he decided on his city lord, he had already conceived how to set up his administrative system in the future.
He was unwilling to inherit the Song Dynasty's political system. The political system of the Song Dynasty seemed relatively complete and stable, but after seeing his own management system, he naturally looked down upon the Song Dynasty's political system. Of course, he copied his own administrative system.
Neither does the system. Things like political systems are linked to productivity and economic levels. If you rashly adopt a political system that is too advanced, you may become Wang Mang's second best. Of course, a big factor in deciding how to establish an administrative system is
The premise is to ensure administrative efficiency.
Based on this, Yang Peng put forward his idea after repeated thoughts. "Can we establish a cabinet system to govern local governance?" Lin Qing'er didn't understand and quickly asked: "What is a cabinet system?"
Yang Peng explained. "The executive cabinet system, as the name suggests, is an administrative department. It is composed of a number of officials and coordinates all administrative affairs. Major decisions require the executive cabinet system to vote at a cabinet meeting before a resolution can be formed." Huang Guang suddenly realized. "
Isn't this an expansion of what the towns in Tianjing New City are doing now?" Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Do you think it's feasible?" After thinking about it, everyone expressed their approval.
Everyone has seen the management situation of the towns in Tianjing New City. Although it is not without its failures, it is generally benign. At least it will not be like the Song Dynasty, where everyone grabs the merit.
Yang Peng explained. Huang Guang immediately said: "Then the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet can only be held by you, Yang Peng."
Everyone agreed. Yang Peng was the leader, and the position of administrative head was expected by everyone. Unexpectedly, Yang Peng refused. "Next, my focus will be on the military, and I don't have much time to be responsible for administration. Therefore, this cabinet prime minister
, it’s better for everyone to elect.”
Fu Jianyue disagreed. "Administration is the foundation of state affairs. If Yang Peng doesn't take charge of it, who can bear its burden?" Yang Peng smiled. "Although I don't hold the position of prime minister, I will pay attention to various matters and propose my own opinions."
Opinions." Some of you here understand, some don't. Those who don't understand will understand it soon.
The existence of Yang Peng is a guarantee. Because in the final analysis, who holds political power does not rely on status, but on military power. Yang Peng never said that he does not want military power. But his approach makes everyone feel very sad.
It's joy.
If the emperor of the Song Dynasty could achieve this step, how could the state affairs be like this? With one person's stupidity, taking everything in detail, and taking over the world's major affairs and minor sentiments, could the emperor handle it?
In addition, if you encounter someone with incompetent qualifications, the state affairs will inevitably plummet. On the contrary, the emperor gives up administrative power and allows the ministers to show their talents and only control the overall situation. On the contrary, it is more conducive to gathering the wisdom of the group and having a better understanding of state affairs.
benefit.
But Lin Qing'er raised an objection. "Are there any restrictions on the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?" Everyone was immediately alert and found that Lin Qing'er's reminder was very necessary. The post of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is full of power. If there are no restrictions, given time,
, it seems that it is not difficult to have the world hanging upside down.
Zhang Jimeng immediately said: "Since I am the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, I propose to add several deputy ministers to share the affairs. Three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. Of course we must pool the wisdom of the group to be foolproof." His proposal,
It has been unanimously recognized by everyone. In the end, the establishment of the Prime Minister's Cabinet was approved, consisting of the highest seven people.
Any administrative decision needs to be voted on and implemented based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority. Everyone discussed for a long time and fully recognized this mechanism. Therefore, the decision was made and implemented immediately. For a while, everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Peng, who was as ordinary as usual. This young man
The leader of the Communist Party of China has shown himself to be a novice in politics in many places in the past. How come he is so sharp when it comes to such core power structure issues? How do they know that Yang Peng is just absorbing the essence of his own mind.
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
