Seize the farming season, it is the time when you, the Taifu Temple Minister, need to fulfill your responsibilities the most. Whether the grain harvest in Guanzhong is good or not will directly affect your performance as the Taifu Temple Minister.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang and Shangguan Yi would go to see the farming conditions in the surrounding villages.
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, the affairs we handle in Taifu Temple actually have nothing to do with you."
At the entrance of the village, Zhang Yang looked at Li Tai, who was also riding a horse.
Li Tai held the reins with one hand and said, "There are only two people in Taifu Temple. I can also help."
Shangguan Yi nodded and said: "If His Highness, King Wei, wants to follow, you can help make some records."
Zhang Yang allowed Sanhe Ma to walk carelessly. This year's Guanzhong plowing season was a few days late. As long as it was not too late, there was still time.
I looked up at the blue sky. The clouds were thick and it looked like it was going to rain again.
Li Tai didn't seem to be here to help, but more like he was here to relax. That is to say, the casting of steam engines was too torturous, and he had been delving into the technical difficulties involved.
It's okay to go out and relax, but if you continue to indulge, I'm afraid this little fat guy will go crazy.
"Lantian County has started to rebuild the breeding farm, and Xiaguan will visit it every day."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Every breeding farm must be hygienic and carefully managed."
Shangguan Yi nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "One more thing, the county magistrate has been encouraging the diversification of crops these days. Your Majesty can invite the magistrates from various counties to come to Lishan to inspect."
Seeing that Zhang Yang did not agree immediately, Shangguan Yi explained: "In fact, in the past two years, other county magistrates came to inquire about the governance results of Lishan Mountain. They wanted to learn the methods. At that time, Xiaguan was still busy.
There were many matters in the factory that I couldn’t decide what to do in my mind, so I refused them all.”
"The lower official can first invite the county magistrates from surrounding villages and counties to visit Lishan for a day. They will not invite too many people. Once they have learned something and put it into practice effectively, they can then pass it on to other villages and counties."
Shangguan Yi's ability to do things is still very strong. He can draw inferences from one example and it is easy to think of this. This concept of cooperative learning between townships and counties is also a very advanced working method in Datang today.
What is there to refuse? Zhang Yang smiled and said: "That's good, the diversification of crops must continue to be followed up, and the concept of hygiene and the development of local industries must be followed up."
"I understand."
My brother-in-law always talks like this. There are many words that are incomprehensible. Some words sound strange, but they sound like the same thing.
The three of them rode horses along the Weishui River, looking at the cultivation of the fields along the way. Shangguanyi described his arrangements, and a grand development blueprint slowly unfolded in front of them. This is a development with Lishan as its base.
Core, a picture of spreading industrial clusters.
First of all, Lishan provides the core manufacturing technology, so that some downstream work can be handed over to other villages and counties, and the villagers of Lishan can support the work.
In this way, it can not only expand the scale of production, but also reduce the current pressure on Lishan, allowing Lishan to focus more on researching production technology.
Of course, the core technology and various secret recipes must be in your own hands.
Shangguan Yi smiled awkwardly and explained: "This is an idea I got from the county prince's method of buying and selling braised pork."
Speaking of braised pork, Li Tai certainly knew that there was now a workshop specializing in making soy sauce in Lishan. In addition to making soy sauce for the villagers, it also provided soy sauce to the braised pork sellers.
There is no need to reserve the cost in advance. The pork, cart and stove are all prepared by the braised pork cooks themselves. Lishan only provides soy sauce.
And soy sauce is an indispensable secret ingredient for braised pork.
Each person can use a can of soy sauce for a long time.
The current soy sauce workshop is run by Ding Liu’s family.
Although the profit is not high, it is not a loss.
In this way, this model of production and cooperation gave Shangguan Yi a different way of thinking. He felt that Lishan could not develop and grow without this kind of cooperation.
Lishan's capabilities are limited. In the future, not only Lishan and Lantian County, but also the entire Guanzhong will be able to improve Lishan's status.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan's method coincides with the policy of the academy below."
"Huh? The county prince wants to build an academy?"
Shangguan Yi was surprised and said, "The imperial government is establishing an official school. It may not be appropriate to build an academy at this time."
Li Tai also advised: "The bookstores built by the nobles and local powerful people determine whether local villagers can go to school. My brother-in-law must do this seriously."
My brother-in-law will not follow the old path of aristocratic families, nor will he become the same person as those aristocratic families. This is not something that my brother-in-law would say at all.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You have misunderstood. The academy I want to build is different from the official academy, and it is also different from the local academy. I want to start agriculture, craftsmanship, mathematics, and inquiry."
Seeing that the two people still didn't understand, Zhang Yang continued to explain, "The academy we run in Lishan is actually very simple. It is different from those academies and official schools. What is taught and learned is not used for imperial examinations or official positions, but for
Life development allows students to learn the skills to make a living and learn real technology."
Having said this, Zhang Yang sighed, with a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Let technology continue, let technology go to the next level, let development expand to all parts of the Central Plains, change people's livelihood, and make people's power even higher."
A step to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and strong."
Hearing this, Li Tai and Shangguan Yi were silent for a long time.
Is it wrong to study for a career?
As my brother-in-law said, people can learn how to make a living and learn technology in academies.
Zhang Yang continued: "Everyone can learn the skills to make a living, so there will be fewer bandits in the world and fewer saints who only pursue the moral high ground. Everything developed in Lishan is to improve people's livelihood and increase people's power.
increase productivity."
"So it coincides with Brother Shangguan's plan. Lishan needs cooperation and expansion. If we can reach cooperation with surrounding towns and counties, we can pool our manpower to build such an academy. With such complementation, our development can be better.
firm."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shangguan Yi nodded and said: "Aristocratic families seek official careers for the sake of their heritage, and powerful men marry into aristocratic families for their heritage, but I have never seen the method of a county prince."
Young people are all ideal. The three of them walked side by side, always discussing plans.
And the future face of Guanzhong.
As a member of Lishan, Lishan's most legitimate technical advisor and Lishan's second largest shareholder, Li Tai must certainly remember these things.
After walking around the Weishui River for a while and returning to the village, Shangguanyi began to make preparations and invited the county magistrates from surrounding counties to come to Lishan to inspect and study.
It can also enhance the relationship between Lishan and surrounding villages.
At the same time, Shangguan Yi also wants to try to solve the problem that it is difficult for men in the village to find wives. If they can be persuaded to let their children consider marrying when they are twenty, then this problem can be solved, at least give it a try.
Zhang Yang returned to the mountain and listened to his wife giving lectures to her younger brothers and sisters. Her pregnant belly could no longer allow her to stand for a long time. She often stood or sat for a while.
If Dr. Sun hadn't said that walking around more would be beneficial to childbirth, the two aunts wouldn't have let her give the lecture.
Lying on the recliner, Zhang Yang looked up at the clouds in the sky. The clouds were very thick and it looked like it was going to rain.
Predictions about the weather were based on oral experiences in ancient times, and one could infer what the weather would be like tomorrow or in the next two days through changes in wind direction, clouds and glow.
After looking through the ancient books in the palace's treasury, there are very few records of the weather.
So much so that in the eyes of the ancients, celestial phenomena were said to be mysterious and mysterious.
In fact, there is nothing mysterious about celestial phenomena, they are just what everyone else says.
Having received systematic education from later generations, Zhang Yang clearly understood that climate is a huge system.
The global climate is like a huge system involving ocean currents and the poles.
However, people’s understanding of geography and climate is shallow, and many old scholars also have their own theories, such as the Book of Changes.
"Husband, what are you looking at?" Li Yue also looked up.
I was so absorbed in thinking that I forgot that my wife had finished her lecture and was standing aside.
Zhang Yang whispered: "I was just wondering if it would be possible to write a classic book on geography and climate."
Li Yue held her waist and sat down, "A volume of Red Mansions and a volume of Diary of a Madman have already caused Lishan enough criticism. Now that the aristocratic family is still here, the literati already have their own firm stance, and the time has not yet come."
The couple has been dependent on each other until now. From the days of poverty to the present, Li Yue knows her husband's understanding of climate changes and can predict and understand a few things.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yang put his arm around her waist and said, "I'll borrow some books from Taoist Yuan another day. I think he will have a better understanding of climate change and geographical knowledge."
"After so many years, I don't know if Daochang Yuan has made any breakthrough in his research on longitude and latitude geography."
My wife is going to have a rest, so I can only teach the afternoon class by myself.
Zhang Yang wrote two words on the blackboard, "mass"
The younger brothers and sisters all sat upright, and Zhang Yang continued: "In fact, a long time ago, there was a saying that the people are like water and the king is like a boat. This was said by Confucius at that time, and was later expanded upon by Xunzi and others.
It later provided a more vague explanation of the relationship between the king and his subjects."
"What we are talking about today about the masses is similar to this sentence, but the essence of its spirit is still different..."
A class began. Zhang Yang talked about the relationship between the masses, townships and counties, and the state government. From individuals to the masses, he talked about the power that the masses can bring out in the development process. He went into the masses, understood the masses, helped the masses, and integrated
the masses.
These are all indispensable.
The class was very harmonious, even the five little bears and my daughter listened attentively.
Li Yue smiled softly. Her husband always had a strong affinity when giving lectures, making it easy for people to listen.
Shangguan Yi, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, started the next exchange work between townships and counties. On this day, he invited a dozen surrounding townships and counties to come to Lishan to inspect, and fully exchanged the management methods of Lishan, and managed the villages and counties with them.
Case.
Of course, this kind of thing should have been presided over by the central government. The Marquis of Lishan County was the minister of Taifu Temple. In this way, it was more legitimate to invite the county magistrates from surrounding counties. Of course, there were some who were too ambitious to come.
But there are still a few who didn't come.
As the minister of Taifu Temple, Zhang Yang, the county magistrate of Lishan, also showed his people-friendly side. When the county magistrates of six villages and counties were sitting together and everyone was drinking tea, Zhang Yang walked up to them.
Some of these county magistrates are young, some are old, some are middle-aged, and some are illiterate.
These conditions do not affect the next steps.
The Tang Dynasty has only been established in the Central Plains for a few years. It is normal for some places to have illiterate county magistrates. After the war, the court could not find suitable people when awarding rewards, so many of them were from local counties left over from the former Sui Dynasty.
official.
However, as the court stabilized over the years, county officials in many places changed a lot. Li Shimin began to readjust the manpower from top to bottom. After the court was fully equipped, he tried his best to make local people's governance better.
Zhang Yang bowed and said in salute: "You guys come to Lishan for a walk, I think you will gain something from it."
All the county magistrates stood together and saluted. Not to mention that the person in front of him was the county magistrate. Just one word of his status as the minister of Taifu Temple could make it impossible for the county magistrate to continue to be the magistrate unless he had a backer.
Shangguan Yi took them around Lishan and explained the current production model of Lishan.
This production model is actually very simple and easy to understand. It is nothing more than a matter of concentration and distribution.
Zhang Yang added: "I know that each county has its own difficulties. Many counties are also very busy with spring plowing this time, and there is not enough manpower. After the plowing, I still have things to cooperate with you. I hope you can get some help by then.
Send out some manpower."
"I am willing to listen to the orders of the County Marquis." One person said, and the people behind him began to nod in agreement.
Zhang Yang added: "Tian Khan worked hard to govern, and those of us who are ministers should also consider the people of the county. I have always been aiming to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and strong. I have achieved some results in governing Lishan. I also have a deep understanding of the desire to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and powerful."
Tang Fuqiang requires the efforts of all counties and counties, which cannot be achieved by me alone."
After a pause, Zhang Yang continued: "I know it would be ridiculous if I said that we would make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and powerful."
Everyone present also smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Yang continued: "So, I want to go step by step, with a small goal in three years and a big goal in five years. Lishan has completed the first five-year goal. Now we have Lishan in one year.
The entire village's operating income has reached one hundred thousand yuan, which is the result of Lishan."
The sum of 100,000 guan a year caught the ear of the county citizens present, and they all whispered that with this amount, Lishan's reputation for wealth was well-deserved.
Whenever a family in Lishan comes out, it will be a wealthy family in Chang'an City.
"However, Lishan has a small population and is limited in its development. Therefore, this time, I would like to invite all county magistrates to share the results of Lishan's governance. I also hope to reach cooperation with you, based on the people of the township and county, to have an in-depth understanding of the difficulties and difficulties of each family.
Once we understand what is wrong, we mobilize to increase crop diversity."
