As the season enters autumn, some large-scale construction projects in Shannan Road are gradually suspended, and most of the private manpower is reserved for farming to ensure that sufficient manpower is available for the following autumn harvest.
The pacification of Jiangling not only meant that the Western Wei Dynasty controlled the two major cities of Jiangling and Xiangyang, but also meant that the most important Jianghan Plain in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was completely in the hands of the Tai government.
Before the Hou Jing Rebellion, the development of Yongzhou and Jingzhou in Nanliang in various aspects such as farming and weaving and people's livelihood were not inferior to those in Guanzhong. As the entire Jianghan area was connected, the territorial area and regional potential controlled by Daxingtai of Shannan Road
It is no longer inferior to the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office.
Although Hou Jing's disaster and the subsequent internal fighting in the Nanliang clan and other wars that lasted for several years also brought huge shocks to this place, Li Tai immediately redistributed various resources after taking over the place, especially the key points.
The implementation of people's livelihood policies such as household equalization and land reclamation to ensure life and production will inevitably lead to a huge improvement in people's livelihood conditions in the region.
This year's autumn harvest is the moment to initially test the results. Therefore, both the Taiwanese officials and the state and county officials are paying close attention to this, hoping to achieve satisfactory results this autumn.
Before the official start of the autumn harvest, various states and counties have sorted out a rough result of the household registration situation within the territory. The population of newly added states and counties such as Jingxiang and Xiangzhou, as well as Xiangzhou and Yingzhou alone has reached more than 30
With a huge number of 10,000 households, plus the old number of registered residents controlled by the original Jingzhou Military Government, the number of households under the current rule of Daxingtai, Shannan Road has reached nearly 600,000.
This data is based on the fact that places such as Ningzhou in the south and Hefei and Jinxi in Huainan have not yet carried out detailed household registration, and the prefectures and counties that have completed household registration are still lacking in administrative power or other reasons.
Because of this, there is still a considerable amount of supernumerary population. If these potential populations are integrated, it is estimated that the population can be increased by at least 200,000 households.
Of course, for the current Taifu, having such a large registered population is already considered good. It should be noted that the Taifu has only been established for less than a year, and most of its territories have been newly expanded, and its own organizational structure has not yet been perfected.
Even the Bafu in Guanzhong only had 700,000 registered households in the 13th year of Tatong.
As for whether there has been an increase in recent years, Li Tai is not sure. After his accident in Jingzhou, it has been difficult to access the core data of Bafu. Even if there is an increase, it is estimated that it will not be too much. After all, in recent years, Bafu
There has been no large-scale implementation of government decrees on population registration. If the number of registered residents only increases naturally, there will not be much growth in a short period of time.
This also means that as Li Tai advances his power to include the entire Jianghan and southern Dongting Lake areas, even if Yuwentai has a long life, judging from the hard population indicators and the power that both sides have control over, today's
The Taiwan Government and the Chinese and Foreign Governments have also become qualified to compete with each other. Even if there is still a slight gap, they can gradually be evened out or even surpassed in the process of confrontation.
As time enters August, autumn harvests have begun in various places, and all relevant data are collected from the Xiangyang government in order from south to north. Once the data is collected in Xiangyang, this year's official harvest can be roughly estimated.
Adding up the villages, villages, and tenant surveys, the income from rice alone has reached a total of nine million dan!
When this number was calculated, all the officials in the Taiwan government who knew about this couldn't help but smile and let out a long sigh of relief.
The rice income of more than 9 million shi is not considered net income, because since the beginning of the year, since the beginning of the year, the rice cost invested by the Chinese and Foreign Governments has reached more than 7 million shi.
So much.
Although the value of the loot collected from Jiangling's treasury is higher than this, the problem is that in many cases, money may not necessarily buy food, especially in such large quantities, which need to meet the needs of tens of millions of people.
.
Whether the order of the Taiwanese government can be stabilized still depends on its own hematopoietic ability. Sometimes, even if it is only a shortfall of hundreds of thousands of stones of food on paper, among the people, it is very likely that the people will starve to death. Yi Zi
The human tragedy of cannibalism!
The Taiwan government has achieved such fruitful results in the first year of its administration, without having to use up its original savings, and there is still quite a surplus, which is naturally very exciting.
It can also be seen that the subjugation of Nanliang was purely his own fault. At least in Jianghan, the productivity has been in a very unreasonable state of being controlled, suppressed and abandoned by private parties. As long as orderly operation can be restored, there is no need to proceed.
With the improvement of productivity with high technological content, the vitality of society can be stimulated and released very quickly!
Of course, the income of more than 9 million shi of grain is not collected and stored directly in the government treasury. It still needs to maintain the administration of the Taiwan government, the rations of the villagers and the maintenance of huge army consumption, etc. But as long as there are not consecutive wars that seriously disrupt the production order
, basically stable.
Such gratifying results have been achieved in people's livelihood and politics, and naturally other aspects have to follow suit. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taiwanese Electoral College began to prepare for the examination.
According to the imperial examination selection process in the Tang Dynasty, the examination held by the selection institute should be called Quanxuan. There are usually four criteria: personal words, written judgment, and judgment. After passing the Quanxuan, the official position will be officially awarded.
However, nowadays there is a huge talent gap in all levels of government agencies in Taiwan, and it is difficult to be so generous that you have to be picky about people's appearance. As long as they pass the test in terms of talent, they can be hired.
The selection test is divided into several subjects, calligraphy, mathematics, economics test and regulations and laws. The test is to select the basic qualities of the people. If you can reach the top in these items, you will meet the conditions for being awarded an officer. You can join the army from the lowest level.
Be awarded and supplemented to government units at all levels.
Of course, if you think you have outstanding talents and are qualified for more important positions, you should take higher-level exams, such as horse-drawing and horse-drawing tests.
In the past period of time, Li Tai and his subordinates in the Taiwanese government have formulated dozens of policy test questions, most of which are related to current affairs. Some of them are government orders that are being implemented by the Taiwanese government, and some are undecided by even the Taiwanese government and have not yet been dealt with.
solved problem.
These questions, together with some military strategies and profound scriptures and etiquette questions, form a hundred strategic examination questions. All candidates who have obtained average or above scores in the previous examinations can participate in the strategic examination questions. You can choose any of the questions, as long as you plan the examination.
If you can get ten questions right, you can get a higher-level appointment.
After these test questions were announced in the selection committee, they immediately aroused great repercussions among the candidates.
After several months of recommendation and selection, the Selection House has more than 1,700 candidates. However, due to the previous selection criteria being too strict, only those who can truly pass all the examinations are qualified to be awarded officers.
There are only about a hundred people.
It should be noted that education and knowledge are not popular enough nowadays. These more than 1,700 candidates can basically be said to include the best of the younger generation in Jianghan. Those who can enter the selection academy for further study can be said to be the cream of the crop.
. As a result, the final selection and elimination ratio was still so high, which naturally made the people who chose it unwilling to accept it.
Therefore, when the scope of this assessment became more comprehensive and the additional examination content, which seemed to have broader selection criteria, was announced, both those who had been selected and those who had failed were eager to join in.
There are hundreds of policy test questions, and it is relatively easy to pick out the ones you care about and are good at. Moreover, the time to answer this policy test is three full days, and candidates are not prohibited from internal discussion and book summarization. As long as they do not
If you leave the selection hall and submit your answer sheet within three days, it will be considered a valid answer sheet.
Three days passed quickly, and a large number of examination papers were collected. The Taiwan government had also prepared a marking team of hundreds of people, and began to screen and select these examination papers of varying quality. Even Li Tai personally joined in the marking process.
The test mainly assesses people's experience and knowledge reserves, as well as the most important logical thinking ability. Especially the latter. After all, knowledge and experience will always increase with age, but whether the brain is good or not is still a bit of a talent.
Yes, some people are passionate idealists, and some people can still live in a humanitarian ideal state.
As the review progressed, some relatively outstanding candidates gradually emerged. For example, Liu Xingben, Zong Quexi, He Tuo, etc. who were born in the Southern Dynasty, Cui Kuang, Liu Ang, Wei Guan, and the Li family were born in the Northern Dynasty.
Li Yuxiang, Li Chongjie, son of Li Gang, etc.
Most of these people come from aristocratic families and enjoy a relatively complete education, and they also have the words and deeds of their elders to teach them. For example, Liu Ang was fostered in Li Tai's home with Shuifeng and Li Ya since he was a child, and his studies still need to be continued.
He is better than the two descendants of the soldiers, and it is natural for him to stand out in this test.
However, there are not without outstanding students from humble backgrounds. Because Li Tai emphasized a process of logical thinking in grading, some papers with relatively mediocre views but clever explanations were also selected and marked.
However, such situations are often just a flash of inspiration, not a stable and sustained level of intelligence, and do not meet the qualifications for official appointment, but they still have potential worth continuing to cultivate.
Regarding this situation, Li Tai also urged Li Shiyuan, who presided over the selection committee, to strengthen the academic education of these candidates and pay attention to solving their life difficulties, hoping that in the coming year they can grow into talents who can truly be used by the country.
Among the collected examination papers, there were quite a few questions about whether to move to Xiangyang, each of whom put forward their own opinions and discussed them. What surprised Li Tai was that there were more examination papers supporting the relocation to Xiangyang than those opposing it.
need more!
This situation was unexpected for Li Tai, because he was planning to use this election to veto the plan to move to the city, but he did not expect that everyone would not give him this opportunity at all, even if it was just out of fear for King Taiyuan.
Convinced and admired, most of them actually thought that after living in Xiangyang for so long, they should move!
This can't help but make Li Tai scratch his head, wondering whether he should warn everyone to think independently and not engage in personality worship, or whether he should continue to call on everyone to follow him.
But soon he no longer had to feel embarrassed and troubled by this, because the downstream side started to work as expected. Chen Ba first stole the house and killed Wang Sengbian, and the entire Jianghuai area was in chaos again.
As soon as possible, Li Tai had anticipated and prepared for this, but it could not be said that he could completely control the direction of the situation. In order to prevent the area under the jurisdiction of the Taiwanese government from being too seriously affected, he quickly led three thousand elite cavalry after learning the news.
Go to Jiangxia and sit there personally to observe the development of the situation.
