After reading Zongze's notes, Zhao Ning was not shocked or even surprised, but had become accustomed to it.

According to the calculation of time, the ups and downs in Tokyo city should have spread to Beijing.

As for what you want to do in Beijing?

Just a few points:

One, don’t fight, adjust yourself first, and wait for a big fight at the end of the year.

Second, fight, fight immediately, but you will definitely not be able to fight the big ones, let's fight a situational war.

Three, don’t fight, negotiate for peace.

For Zhao Ning, fighting or not has no impact on the current situation.

Because he arranged the front lines based on the possibility of war breaking out at any time.

Li Gang, Zongze, and Zhang Jun were all given sufficient authority to recruit and train troops locally.

Talking about military expenses, Gyeonggi Road just collected 4 million dan of grain from rich people, which is enough to feed the front line for a year.

Not to mention that Shaanxi has a lot of cultivated land, nearly 50 million acres!

We need to focus on Hedong and Hebei.

Tax reduction policies for Hedong and Hebei have also been promulgated.

A new round of military pay is also being allocated.

We have made all the preparations we can, but whether we can win the fight or not is another matter.

However, he still replied to Zongze, Li Gang and Zhang Jun each with a letter, telling them not to take it lightly.

Time flies by so fast, and in a blink of an eye it is already July 23rd.

Zhao Ding handed over the latest news. The Ministry of Household Affairs' first batch of field purchases were going smoothly, and the private transaction price was even as low as 400 Wen.

In fact, this is just like the stock market. Most investors buy up but not down, and they want to sell when the price falls.

Those who have not experienced the stock market will make grand claims that people in the stock market are fools, how can they chase the highs?

When he entered, he was instantly stunned.

This is a group effect, and the group is unconscious.

If groups were conscious, there would be no economic crisis in the world of capital.

The purchase of the land is progressing fairly smoothly, and the staff expansion of the Agricultural Affairs Department is accelerating, with Agricultural Affairs Offices being set up in various prefectures and counties along the Gyeonggi Road.

These yamen are all responsible for leasing fields. They must record, organize, and file all the fields currently entered into the court, and then lease them out.

Now that Tian's sale has been confirmed to be executable, on July 24, Zhao Guan's family made another small-scale restructuring.

This time the restructuring is about grassroots officials.

Baozheng's role is equivalent to the village chief, but he is just an official.

The so-called civil servants cannot be counted as the official establishment of the imperial court. They are just temporary workers hired by local yamen and their status is very low.

And on weekdays, there are not many county magistrates and guardians.

But the role of Baozheng is too important.

In an agricultural society, how important is the role of the village chief?

Tax collection, war mobilization, road construction, water canal construction, etc. all require the role of the village chief to organize.

But this role is not officially established by the imperial court.

This phenomenon is commonly known as the imperial power not going to the countryside.

Since the role of Baozheng is so important, why didn’t the ancients directly incorporate it into the imperial official system?

Are the ancients stupid?

Of course the ancients were not stupid.

In particular, the ancient Chinese established the most advanced and complete empire management system in the world. Looking around the world, no other empire can do this.

Then why not include Baozheng?

The fundamental reason is actually very simple: limited productivity.

Many imperfect policies in ancient times were the result of limited productivity.

Productivity is limited, transportation roads are imperfect, and the central government's ability to manage local areas is really limited. If village chiefs are included in the imperial official system, they will not be able to manage it at all.

In ancient times, there were no computers, no telephones, and no railways.

Even the amount of paper for backing up official documents is limited.

These are all important reasons that limit the central government’s large-scale and forceful control of grassroots organizations.

Therefore, after the Song Dynasty after the end of the aristocratic family, squires and landlords became particularly important. They were the products of the compromise of imperial power at the grassroots level.

The imperial power was afraid of them and adopted various policies to inhibit land annexation to restrict them, but it also had to rely on them.

This time, the ups and downs caused by the New Agricultural Policy dealt a huge blow to the landlords and gentry, severely weakening the power of the big local landowners.

With local power being shattered again, it was the best time for imperial power to take root.

Therefore, Zhao Ning issued a decree.

The content is also very clear:

1. Improve the number of town supervisors in Gyeonggi Road, and set up town supervisors' offices in rural areas. Each town supervisor will manage five guarantors, and the actual positions will be matched according to the number of guarantors in each county.

Second, set up an official school in every county. Supervisors of the town and Baozheng will be admitted to the official school on a regular basis. Assessments will be made every six months. If they fail the assessment three times in a row, the officials of the supervisory town and Baozheng will be dismissed.

Due to the development of the commodity economy, there was a grass market between counties and villages in the Song Dynasty, which formed the prototype of a town. The town supervisors were responsible for managing these.

But the role of the town supervisor has not really been played.

This time the restructuring of Gyeonggi Road’s grassroots management is the court’s strengthening of Gyeonggi Road’s grassroots management and control.

But it is limited to Gyeonggi Road. After all, the transportation facilities are limited, and now there are only Gyeonggi Road squires. The landlords have been hit, and the supervisory town official system cannot be pushed to other places at once.

The purpose of this restructuring of grassroots officials is to strengthen the court's control over the grassroots. Only in this way can policies such as tax collection, mobilization, food requisition, and universal currency payment be effective.

If the problem of administrative smoothness is not solved, no matter how good the policy is, it will be nonsense.

Early in the morning on July 25th, Wang Zonglio ran to Wende Hall again.

"Officials, please take a look."

"This is?"

"This is the latest money guide."

"Jiaozi?"

"Yes, Jiaozi."

Zhao Ning did not expect Wang Zongli to bring the latest version so quickly, and he was once again impressed by Wang Zongli.

As long as this guy is dealing with money, he is a hundred times more energetic than usual!

Zhao Ning rubbed her latest sex with her hands.

Sure enough, this kind of workmanship is very fine.

The handicrafts of the ancients were so impressive. It’s no wonder that during the two Song dynasties, even though a large number of banknotes were issued, there were no reports of them being ruined by counterfeit currency.

The denominations are all printed, one cent, five cents, ten cents, five hundred thousand cents, one hundred cents, the same.

This kind of multi-denomination Jiaozi can also increase the cost of counterfeiting to a greater extent.

"Where's the bank?"

"It has been freed up. As long as you give the official order, the bank can open at any time, but the new banknotes are just these samples."

"No rush, prepare the amount of banknotes and print out 5 million banknotes first."

"so much?"

"Just print it, the imperial court has copper coins and iron coins as a reserve for you, don't be afraid, they are only for use on Gyeonggi Road."

"yes."

"By the way, has the rectification of the trading companies in the capital begun?"

"Then the officials can still worry about it!" Wang Zonglio looked very proud, "The officials have spoken, and I went back to make preparations overnight. It's just that some people in the Taifu Temple Yamen are not very obedient."

"Disobedient?"

"If you don't work, you will be fair in front of your ministers, but you will fish in troubled waters in private."

Zhao Ning said to Wang Huaiji: "Go and call Mo Chou."

"yes!"

Mo Chou, the Minister of Civil Affairs, arrived soon.

"Official family."

"Mo Qing, there is a situation now. Wang Taiwei was transferred to Taifu Temple to be the minister of Taifu Temple. He wants to help me rectify Taifu Temple, but some officials in Taifu Temple are not cooperative. Please help Wang Taifu.

Lieutenant, try your best to cooperate with his personnel arrangement requirements."

"Yes! Don't worry, officials, I'll leave this matter to you, no problem!"

"Okay, Lieutenant Wang, do you have any more questions?"

"Gone."

Wang Zonglio immediately ran to the Taifu Temple Yamen to support the trading bureau first. The first order he issued was to have people count the merchants in Tokyo.

Don’t businessmen like to play in trading companies?
