It's night, in the study.

Zhang Xiu is sketching with pen and ink, and on the paper, there are all kinds of farm tools, which look slightly different from the current farm tools, which Zhang Xiu is preparing to improve.

Simply, I have a little understanding of the quyuan plow and the like, and I should be able to figure it out after some research, and at least I can increase the grain output by a few points.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, Jingxiang is fertile for thousands of miles, the grain and grass are sufficient, and all kinds of agricultural tools can be regarded as improving the productivity of later generations.

When the time comes, the surplus grain and grass can be sold to Guanzhong, or all parts of the Central Plains, in exchange for strategic resources such as war horses and iron ore.

At this point, Zhang Xiu has tasted the sweetness, and exchanged grain and grass for a lot of Xiliang war horses in Wuguan and Guanzhong, otherwise his cavalry formation would not have been formed so quickly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

got the promise, Jia Xu and Xu Shu entered.

"Lord, I don't know what to do with calling me late at night?" Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Xiu and said. However, his eyebrows were attracted by the huge ice cube on one side.

I saw a thick ice cube lying quietly in the copper basin, and there were several fans made into rings next to it, which could be used to shake out the cold wind.

"My lord, this is ...... Ice? ”

Xu Shu's eyebrows furrowed, incredulous.

Not only him, but Jia Xu also squinted and frowned, this is a dog day, how can there be such a thing as ice cubes in this kind of day? It's appalling.

"Well, it's hot, so I made some ice cubes to cool off when I had nothing to do. When Wen and you leave later, I can help you pick up some and take them back to Fuzhong to cool off. ”

Zhang Xiu looked calm and said quite indifferently.

"Nothing to do?"

The two glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes, such an abnormal thing was just an idle work, if the lord of his family was more serious, wouldn't it......

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Zhang Xiu was quite proud, but he only hated himself for not being good at physics and chemistry, otherwise he would try to get a detonator or something for the two.

But this time I didn't pretend to be forced to call the two of them over.

"Wen and Yuanzhi, now that it is a scorching summer, and there is no war, I intend to clearly divide the various departments under my rule, so I specially summoned the two of you to come to the mansion to discuss with me." Zhang Xiu said with a solemn expression.

"The Ministries?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, and then said, "How is the lord going to divide it?" ”

"Since the army is streamlined, let's eliminate meaningless officials. In addition, as far as I know, officials in various localities sometimes oppress the people and forcibly occupy land. ”

"I intend to abolish the earlier reporting system and set up a new Supervision Department, which is my eyes and ears, responsible for supervising the subordinate ministers and military generals, and can control the dark department under my rule."

Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked.

Supervision is the duty of the assassin history, and he has the right to report, and Zhang Xiu listed it separately, which is understandable.

"The Department of Inspection? Shadows? Xu Shu frowned, this has existed since ancient times, but the family is entrenched, and the whole body is moved, so that the officials protect each other, and the supervision is useless over time.

"Lord, it is not difficult to set up a supervision department, but how to strictly enforce the law and deal with it impartially is a difficult thing! After all, although the surname is Liu today, it is a family that rules the world. ”

"In this way, no one dares to cut them down, so as to encourage their arrogance and make them fearless,"

Xu Shu was born in a poor family, his ancestors were also considered wealthy, and he was still clear about the family, and if he wanted to be strict with the law, it would mean that he would open the crime and rule the family, which even Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly.

"If you break the law, you must be punished severely, otherwise what is the use of the law?" Zhang Xiuyu frowned, and then said: "If no one dares to behead, then I will kill it myself, and there are a lot of souls in Chang'an City who died with my gun." ”

Zhang Xiu's voice was cold.

"But the lord ......"

"I know what Yuan Zhi thinks, but if it is solidified here, even if I dominate the world, it will only be the rise of the new family and the loneliness of the old family, so that after a hundred years, I will follow in the footsteps of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt, his expression solemn.

He has thought a lot about the solidification of the class of the times, and he can't break it, so he can only start from small things and slowly change this class solidification.

On one side, Jia Xu pondered deeply and didn't say much.

He may know what Zhang Xiu wants to do, he wants to break the cage of this era, but this idea is too long, how can it be so simple?

Wang Mang's new dynasty is a lesson from the past.

At this time, Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu again, and said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, people have eyes, and this supervision department is like me, which can help me to look at civil and military." ”

"I intend to set up the Tianmu Division, for my other purpose, to explore the world's major affairs for me, and to set up secret guards under my rule to spread to the world and collect talents for me to deliver news, how about it?"

"What the lord said is very true," Jia Xu nodded in response, there have always been detailed spies who detect intelligence, but they are not integrated into one name.

"In addition to these two divisions, I also intend to set up, a doctor's hall, a craftsman camp, an academy of agricultural sciences, and a chamber of commerce building. Doctors cure the sick and save people, and craftsmen cast soldiers to fight. The Agricultural Institute is responsible for researching grain cultivation and water conservancy.

As for the merchants, they are responsible for communicating with other states and counties to obtain money to govern the seven counties of Jingzhou. Zhang Xiu said thoughtfully.

These are not his feelings,

It's that these things are the most important things in society.

Xu Shu raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Lord, these and the family seem to be lowly positions, and the establishment is acceptable, but they can't be promoted to the government, otherwise the family will not tolerate it." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded to indicate that he knew that he would slowly reduce the influence of the family, but the most important thing was the land, and the land was the lifeblood in the agricultural era, but eighty percent of the land was in the hands of the family.

Let's take it one step at a time!

"By the way, I will arrange someone to invite Zhang Ji later, and Mi Zhu and the two will serve as the owner of the Physician Pavilion and the president of the Chamber of Commerce." Zhang Xiu explained again.

"Zhang Ji?" Xu Shu was puzzled, and then said: "Lord, the Mi family is still fine, after all, it is a merchant family, but Zhang Ji is the Zhang family in Nanyang, and there are hundreds of clansmen, how can he take on such a cheap position?" ”

"Just ask for it, just say that I am willing to teach him how to cure the plague, and I don't think he will refuse." Zhang Xiu was quite confident, if he remembered well, at this time Zhang Ji should painstakingly study the method of curing the plague.

And in a few years, he should have specialized in the medical book of typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, and he was canonized as a medical saint.

"In addition to the first time, it is also necessary to set up a martial arts hall."

"Martial arts? Why? ”

"Teach what you have as a general, such as how to camp in formation, how to ambush, how to command, and so on."

"This can be recruited externally, and the training department will even be a good general. At the same time, all generals at or above the rank of commander must take turns to study in the camp and master all elements in wartime. Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and nodded, there is a good general who can win a thousand troops, this move is feasible.

What's more, the lecture martial arts hall can also recruit talents, and it can be regarded as an exceptional promotion, and it can also arrange people for further study, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"My lord, this method is feasible."

"Well, let's arrange these texts with you, and strive to prepare them before the autumn." Zhang Xiu Shen Sheng,

At the same time, he pinched the drawn paper and handed it over, "Ah, help me pass this to the blacksmith camp and let them help build it, I will only send someone to get it." ”
