Although it has entered winter, Hexi is still full of vitality. Ye An got up early in the morning and was taking a few little guys for a morning run around the city lord's mansion. The cries of people walking in the streets immediately attracted the attention of these human cubs.
Notice.
There is no way, the better the economic foundation, the richer the material life will be. This is an eternal truth.
The morning market and night market in Liangzhou City have surpassed Tokyo City in a sense. Not only are the products and services diversified, but the cultural forms have also been greatly enhanced.
Ye An was discussing with Pei Chengwen one night about the promotion of the first group of grassroots cadres, and it was not until early in the morning when it was getting light that he saw that the "Bayi" Theater not far away had just finished.
Nearly a hundred people came out of the theater, and without saying much, cars and horses came over to promote business. As for the Nanshi Restaurant and the Mutton Soup Shop in front of the theater, they were already full...
As for now, each of the four children was holding a bacon bun and making cheerful "eating" sounds. Ye Ling, Ye Mei, and Amy ate first, while Ye Lin stared longingly at the food just taken out of the pot.
Pork with bacon sauce, while trying not to look at the expressions of the sisters enjoying their meal.
Now he has the lowest status in this family, not to mention the adults above him, even among the children. As the eldest son, giving way to his sisters is the most correct etiquette standard he thinks.
As for Ye Fang, who was still young, he had to take good care of him. Sometimes when Fang Linyue was not free, he would play with his younger brother on his back. He even had no objection to Ye Fang riding on his neck several times to urinate.
Qin Mumu said that she didn't know who this child looked like, but Ye An knew that Ye Lin was the most like him.
The hawker chopped the cured meat into pieces and happily agreed to Ye Lin's instructions: "Okay, just follow the noble man's instructions and put in a few more spoons of cured meat!" So when Ye Lin took the first bite, the cured juice immediately filled up.
It flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Ye Ling glanced at his younger brother, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it hard on his face, and then said: "I gave this handkerchief to you. I don't know who I learned it from, but I don't like wearing it in my sleeve."
A piece of cloth doesn’t take up much space!”
Ye Lin chuckled: "The little girl wears the veil! I am not the father..."
As an old father, Ye An took out his sleeves in embarrassment: "That seems to be true. I said that I eat something just after I run in the morning. Since I have eaten, I won't run. Let's go and drink mutton soup!"
"good!"
The children said in unison, following Ye An like little tails towards the mutton soup shop not far away. His mutton soup was the most delicious, and paired with freshly baked sesame cakes, you wouldn't be hungry all morning.
Xuan'er touched Qin Mumu with her arm at the door: "Madam, I see that Ye Lin and Mr. Hou are poured out of the same mold. They will definitely be good and responsible men in the future!"
"Yes! Ye Lang often said that when he was a child, he also teased his husband. This traitor actually cut off most of his beard when he went to school yesterday. The husband personally carried half of his beard to visit the house. I was so angry!"
"I heard that it was that gentleman who beat his friend first. Oh, he was the prototype of the boy from Fan Zhizhou's family, and that's why he stood out."
"That's even more wrong! It's okay to stand up for your friends, but it depends on the situation. His father gave him two soles yesterday and said he wasn't beating him because he cut off his husband's beard. He asked him to think about what happened."
"What's that for?!"
Looking at Xuan'er who was also confused, Qin Mumu rolled her eyes helplessly: "You! You don't know how to educate your children!"
Xuan'er was said to be incomprehensible. Only Qin Mumu knew why Ye An hit his son's soles. Ye Lin was not standing up for his friends, but on the contrary, he was hurting them.
After taking the children to have breakfast, the little ones were sent to school, while Ye An went to the "Hexi Big Government".
The so-called "big government" is the highest management structure of the entire Hexi. Originally, Liangzhou Prefecture was used as the management agency of the entire Xihe, but now it is obviously inappropriate.
So after the expeditionary force returned triumphantly, Ye An discussed with Pei Chengwen to separate the management organization from the government office of Liangzhou Prefecture.
As the highest management agency, it is mostly responsible for formulating major policies in Hexi, so it is named "Big Government". Although the name is simple, in fact, the simpler and easier to understand things, the higher the efficiency of implementation.
In many places, Hexi is still not perfect and is far from what Ye An had dreamed of. However, the current Hexi officials are very satisfied.
At the beginning, some scholars were opposed to Hexi's system, believing that it too elevated the status of the people, which was contrary to the policy of obscuring the people in traditional Confucianism that "the people can follow it, but cannot understand it."
But now people are gradually discovering that this is not the case.
As the people of Liangzhou City become literate over the years, their people's wisdom is gradually opening up. The result of the people's wisdom opening up is that they know the law and more and more people abide by the law.
This is not a great improvement. Those urban foxes and social rats did not dare to blatantly violate the law, but began to test the edges of the law. This is much better than before.
As for the government's various policies, they can quickly gain support and even discussion from the people. Policies that are not conducive to the people will quickly be fed back to the government, because the people will also oppose it. In this way, bad government will be affected to a large extent.
Errors can be corrected promptly.
The most important thing is that the government in Hexi truly understands the sentiments of the people. In traditional Han society, compliance with the sentiments and hearts of the people has become the consensus of the people, and no one dares to act against the disapproval of the world.
Any wise king and holy master will choose to comply with the people's hearts. Over time, there will be a saying that "the people's hearts are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
In fact, Hexi is now being gradually transformed into a service-oriented government by Ye An, and many policies are serving Hexi's manufacturing and service industries.
Whenever Ye An sees the plaque of "Big Government", he always feels a little weird and inexplicably appropriate. Big Government will be used in later generations to describe the government's strong intervention in the economy and strong control over the market.
This is exactly what Hexi's "big government" is, and Ye An is constantly guiding Hexi to move in the direction of the "industrial revolution".
What he has to do today is to centralize the work and integrate the various government offices with different functions. He must do everything possible to combine the various departments of Liangzhou Prefecture and work together in a centralized manner.
The scale of Hexi is not large. Although there are more trivial matters, there is no need to open a special Yamen. Of course, the most important problem is that with the continuous development of Hexi, more and more Yamen are added.
The more government offices there are, the more land and buildings are needed. This is already an urgent problem.
For this reason, even Pei Chengwen, a traditional Confucian official, began to support centralized office work. After Ye An entered the government office, an official came forward to inform: "Marquis Ye, Magistrate Pei is waiting in the flower hall."
Ye An nodded and walked away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Pei Chengwen, he stepped forward and expressed his bitterness: "Marquis Ye, we don't have enough land in Liangzhou Prefecture!"
Ye An rolled his eyes: "Liangzhou City has been expanded several times, how come there is not enough land?"
Pei Chengwen said with a helpless smile: "Enough is enough, but there is really not enough land in the inner city, and land prices are soaring. Many businesses are setting up their head offices in the inner city. The more head offices there are, the more expensive the land will be. The more expensive the land will be, the more expensive the land will be."
It can attract more people to buy, so this land is not enough! You don’t know how high the land prices in the inner city of Liangzhou City have risen right now. Even a dilapidated small courtyard can be sold for nearly 100,000 yuan.
The price is so high that you have to break your head to grab it!”
Ye An smiled: "Why do you want to make money from land?"
Pei Chengwen rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "We are not short of money now, nor are we short of land, but no matter the Song Dynasty, Xixia or Liao Dynasty, they really want to buy land in the inner city. If we don't make money, even God will not care.
Get down!"
Ye An smiled: "Yes, but it must be controlled and transferred to a certain extent and left to the government for research and judgment!"
Pei Chengwen nodded: "That's why I'm here. Oh, and there's also the matter of factories. Many factory owners, even Hexi government-owned factories, are trying their best to move westward."
After hearing this, Ye An's eyes lit up instantly...
