508 Plan
Since last year, when I started to think about the household, I have had a whole big plan: first, to promote the new plough to promote farming; second, to set up more civilian enterprises outside the Fengtian Bureau to prevent monopoly; third, to set up a wide range of schools and libraries in the township, although it is not possible to do compulsory education, at least a few more people in the township can understand the proclamations of the imperial court; in addition, to promote Arabic numerals, now called longevity, and basic arithmetic skills among the people; and fourth, to promote hygiene, as I remember a teacher once said, The teacher's original intention was to emphasize to us the importance of the surgical environment and hygienic care, but the origin of the "confinement" custom of the ancients that she listed, and the fifth was to promote commerce in Jiangnan.
In the middle of last year, the plough that had been developed since more than ten years ago finally made progress, and the Fengtian Bureau improved the original Jiangdong plough in my own manor into a small plough that could be dragged by Ding Zhuang, and at the same time designed a double plough, if there was really no Ding Zhuang, then two weak men and weak women could barely move - it was better to have a ploughing ox, or at least a donkey or mule, but considering that the cost of this plough was only half of the original, then the ploughing speed was slower, which was acceptable. My idea is that it would be better to spread the plough to the whole country, and at a cheaper price, so that every household can afford it.
I don't plan to hand this matter over to the Mukden Bureau. One is because the Fengtian Bureau is a carefully selected craftsman, and has always used good things, never know what the cost savings are, not to mention the cost of various trade channels, personnel and other costs, once handed over to the Fengtian Bureau to do, the price will not be cheap. Second, the Fengtian Bureau is already a monopoly, and I don't want it to get involved in basic livelihood activities again. Third, because the Fengtian Bureau is already bloated, and it is a big move, if you take care of farm tools again, I am afraid that it will be even more criticized. Thinking about it, Cui Mingde proposed, follow the meaning of my Chengtian Bureau, set up a first agricultural bureau, and hand over the production to the people, the imperial court is only responsible for the quality and store franchise, not responsible for production, and at the same time, because of the special agricultural tools, the first agricultural bureau must also assume the responsibility of coordinating prices and balancing the market - the Chengtian Bureau is what I have long thought about to do, mainly to check and balance the Fengtian Bureau, and secondly, it is determined to provide practical clothes for the common people. The main purpose of the idea is to reduce the cost of goods and promote the local textile business, and I never thought that it would be borrowed by Cui Mingde and used in plows.
Many people around me have put forward the idea of improvement, Ah Huan thinks that the person in charge of bidding should be separated from the person who operates in the local area, and all the stewards are limited to three years, Cui Mingde and Cui Xiu think that all merchants must bid every year, and in a state, all the counties of the bidding location are in one place, Liu Houde thinks that this location should also change every year, Xu Zhenruhai proposed that this plough should be limited to sales in the mainland, not outside the customs, He Lou thought that as long as we can control the cost, we are not afraid of being learned to go - the big deal is to send troops out to grab it back. Dugu Shao also proposed to me to set up a special division to study tools because of the matter of ploughing tools, including not only agricultural tools, but also weapons, because this fact is a little sensitive, and there is a suspicion of competing with Shang Fang, so press it for the time being. There are also various methods to prevent fraud, which cannot be exhaustive. I was most surprised by the fact that the length of the deviation and the number of times it was used, and that it was a random spot check that surprised me the most, because what the others said was something I could roughly think of, but what I was talking about was really something I was not familiar with.
Because of the name of education, it is not as difficult as the Chengtian Bureau and the Xiannong Bureau to implement it, but there are also two biggest difficulties: the first is personnel, and the second is finance. The number of households and households in the world, as well as the acres of tax in each state and county, made it easy to estimate the amount of money needed for the matter—a figure that my mother would have given me anyway. What is more difficult than property is the distribution of personnel. Nowadays, most of the people who can read and write are doing their business in the name of merit, and in their fame, they think that they are court officials, state officials, county officials, and army officials, and in remote areas, no one is even willing to do the assassination of history and county orders, let alone stay among the townships and villages, and do some work of copying and managing books? In the end, this matter was discussed in the end, and the counties of Tianxia were divided into three batches and planned to be implemented in batches, and before the first batch was officially launched, it would be tested in Yizhou first, so that Cui Xiu's talent would be able to discover the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of this matter, and when the time came, it would be more secure.
The promotion of hygiene is the simplest of all things, and it can be implemented at the moment, and it is always up to the states to carry it out. As for the business in Jiangnan, we can only ask Liu Houde to see if there is anything to be done in the local area. Liu Houde was full of promises, but the aftereffect was far from known.
This project started last year, and in January this year, the household and other preparatory matters were completed, but when my mother was away, it was delayed slightly. Since there is no ceremony, it is not justifiable, and he is "left behind" rather than "supervising the country" - even if it is a "prison country", no prince or grandson dares not to report to the monarch's father, so he makes such a decision without taking his own initiative - not to mention that there are Wu Sansi in the capital, and the sparse performance is not as good as meeting in person, and it is easy to persuade to explain the pros and cons of this matter, so I have to press most of the steps down, first promote health and the Chengtian Bureau - because this matter can directly increase the country's income, and there is the Fengtian Bureau in front, my mother and the prime minister are happy to see it come to fruition - I was afraid that my mother would not be willing, so I specially wrote a letter to Ah Huan, asking her to ask Wan'er to turn around, but my mother was very happy to allow it, and directly ordered Shouli and me to be fully responsible.
Shulu and plough were sent to Ruzhou on February 10, and the approval arrived in the capital on the day of the Wanshou Festival.
What didn't go well, but I didn't have time to take care of one end - the women's club. 166 Reading Network
