After being away for a year, Donghai Territory has not changed much, except that there is a new department, the Ministry of Health.
As early as August, Zhang Zhongjing brought a group of his apprentices and several friends to the East China Sea Territory.
After seeing Donghai Territory, everyone was convinced that Donghai Territory is simply a holy land in their minds, where the elderly can be supported and the young can be raised.
Especially after seeing the tall barns filled with grain, Zhang Zhongjing no longer had any doubts.
He personally participated in the autumn harvest and knew that what Su Fan told him before was not a trace of fraud.
The Ministry of Health was established and he became the minister. These departments were not within the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
They are just subordinates of the internal affairs of the East China Sea Territory. However, everyone knows that once the lord takes over the world in the future, these departments under the internal affairs will all be departments of the imperial court, and their officers and men are comparable to the three nobles and nine ministers.
A medical school was also established.
Zhang Zhongjing, his more than ten disciples, and several Taoist friends also became the first batch of teachers in the medical school.
When Su Fan came back, the medical school had already started for two months.
There are more than 800 people enrolled there, half of whom are children under the age of fifteen, and the rest are literate adults.
Under Su Fan's rule in the East China Sea Territory, the number of literate people continued to increase, and the literacy rate under his rule was the highest in the world.
Of course, it’s just literacy. There are still a few people who are really scholars. Literacy and reading are different.
But even so, it is surprising enough. At least many times, literacy is still very useful.
"Lord!"
"Wen Ruo, sit down!"
As Su Fan's chief steward and the de facto interior minister of the East China Sea Territory, Su Fan still respected him quite a bit.
Xun Yu came here naturally to report to Su Fan on all the big and small things in the East China Sea Territory.
This report lasted for more than an hour, and this was only about major matters.
"Haha! Yes, I have Wen Ruo, just like a fish has water."
Su Fan also said Liu Bei's famous saying.
The East China Sea Territory was handed over to Xun Yu, who indeed took care of it in an orderly manner, both in terms of personnel and internal affairs departments.
The key is that the efficiency has been greatly improved.
It was as if he had maxed out his internal affairs attributes. When he handled internal affairs personally, he wasted even more time and his efficiency was not as good as it is now.
Although he has experienced several lives, most of them have been hands-off shopkeepers. Of course, Su Fan is not incapable of internal affairs. Although his abilities are not as good as those of Xun Yu, he is definitely much better than those mediocre people.
It's just that he couldn't do it right in terms of details.
Xun Yu is different. He has achieved the ultimate in all aspects of the East China Sea Territory, and his methods are extraordinary. Now the entire East China Sea Territory, even the rough guys in the army, do not have any disrespect for Xun Yu.
Completely conquered everything with his ability.
Wang Zuozhi is just different.
"My lord praised me"
Xun Yu smiled calmly and was very humble. Of course, he was full of motivation. Everything in the East China Sea Territory was different from what he had been exposed to before.
But he found that the East China Sea Territory was more dynamic.
It also confirms the words of the Lord: "Without farming, there is no stability, without industry, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life." In the East China Sea Territory, commerce, agriculture, and industry are developed, which has also created the prosperity of the East China Sea Territory today.
"This year's grain production has broken through again, with an increase of more than 20 million dan compared to last year, and Captain Zao is indispensable."
"Yes, the Agricultural Research Institute led by him has made another breakthrough, and the wheat yield per acre has increased again. It is really gratifying."
Su Fan nodded, so if he used it with the right person and in the right direction, the burst of power would be quite terrifying.
If jujube is only placed in the territory of other princes, even the territory of a prince like Cao Cao who is good at using people, the most he can do is become a diannongxiaowei, helping Cao Cao to farm and increase a little grain.
But compared to Su Fan's East China Sea Territory, it is incomparable under any circumstances.
Now Donghai Territory's production is not increasing a little bit, but several times or dozens of times.
Even if the yield per mu increases by ten kilograms, it is equivalent to an increase of millions of kilograms in these tens of millions of acres of fields.
This is enough to feed millions of people for a year.
Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished.
Su Fan had already rewarded Zao Zhi for his contribution before he came back, and his official position had been promoted to the extreme. If he were the Minister of Agriculture, if he unified the world, he would be equivalent to half a great minister of agriculture.
That is one of the Nine Qings.
In addition, there are material rewards, which Su Fan has never been stingy with.
Not long after, several military generals came to Su Fan's government office again.
These are all reported to him.
"Let's do it all! Now that we're here, let's report together."
Zang Ba, Tai Shi Ci and Chen Dao were among the first group of generals to follow him, and they also participated in the challenge against Dong. Their status in the army was also the highest.
Chen Dao was good at training troops, so Su Fan always put him in charge of training new recruits in the East China Sea Territory.
In terms of status, he is synonymous with Su Fan in the military. After all, most of the troops in the East China Sea Territory were trained by him.
"Uncle and nephew, how are the recruits doing now?"
With the advent of troubled times, Su Fan's Donghai Territory has been increasing its troops, from tens of thousands at the beginning, to hundreds of thousands when he became the governor of Donghai County, to 700,000 when he left last year.
After the autumn harvest, the East China Sea Territory once again recruited a group of new soldiers.
There is more and more food.
Because of the development of fisheries and animal husbandry, people have access to oil and water and consume less and less food.
It is said that ancient people were big-bellied people. If they ate freely, they could eat several kilograms of grain a day.
Modern people in later generations will only eat as much as they want in a day.
The reason for this situation is that in ancient times, oil and water were very low. Whether ordinary people could eat one meal of meat a year was a problem.
Even many small landowners do not have as good food as the poor families of later generations.
When Su Fan was traveling through Xiaoao, some of the landowners in Huayin County and their landlord masters were not just eating meat, but they were overthinking.
Later generations have always believed that all the landowners were fat and big-eared. In fact, this was just a conjecture.
Those landlords actually didn't do very well.
Eating a big bowl of meat and a big bowl of wine is just a dream. At most, it can only make you hungry and full.
There isn't much oil or water either.
So everyone can eat rice.
However, in the East China Sea Territory, fish and livestock in the sea are prosperous, and more and more meat is eaten. Even ordinary families can afford to eat meat.
Especially for families who are soldiers, the treatment of sergeants and soldiers in the army is excellent.
The more food there is, Su Fan naturally needs to consume it. Otherwise, saving more and more will be a waste.
The best way is to increase troops, which will not only increase the strength, but also consume a batch of excess food.
If this were known to other princes, they would definitely be in an uproar.
These are troubled times, and many princes are very short of food.
