Tong Yuan also told Zhang Ji about the township education in Xiangling Jia Xi on the east side of the river and the training in boating, fiber pulling and hunting in Beiqu County.

However, he specifically said that each place has different industries and characteristics, for example, Jia Xi is the education of children within the Shi clan, while Beiqu County is the inheritance and training of hunting and fiber pulling. Here, according to your own characteristics, you can start with the spread of the experience of planting wheat, and try it too.

Zhang Ji said: "What the general means is that we don't have to do the same thing as that over there, and try a kind of grassroots education and training by ourselves completely from the situation on our side."

"That's right, everyone is engaged in hunting, fiber pulling, and sailing, which is obviously impossible. I don't even have any plans to get wheat cultivation everywhere. After all, some places are drier or more mountainous, and it is more suitable to raise sheep. In the near future, I plan to let the Xiongnu sheep and horse breeders also train the Han people. ”

Zhang Ji thought for a moment and said: "General, don't worry, I plan to encourage the inheritance of the previous spontaneous experience of planting and lodging, and implement it in each team according to the situation." In the tun area, on the premise of not interfering with production, the teaching of literacy and agricultural books was carried out. ”

When Tong Yuan heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Oh, this literacy is a big deal, but because paper and bamboo slips are expensive, and there are few scribes to teach, I have never had an idea." How do you plan to do it in Tunli? ”

Zhang Ji replied: "Of course, it is not through scribes, but through the tun households who are looking for literacy in each tun, they may only know a few dozen or a hundred words, and they will teach dozens of words as much as possible." In every hundred households, there are always a few people who can read some words. ”

"Have you tried any of them?"

"Well, there were spontaneous situations in the team of twenty households before. I did research for a while, and I felt that at the tun level, it could be carried out for children and people who didn't have much to live for the time being. Although Zhang Ji has both military and civilian positions, he is still solid and meticulous.

Tong Yuan had expectations for this, but he was not in a hurry, so he let Zhang Ji and the various tuns and teams carry out according to their own conditions.

He also told Zhang Ji about Dong Bai and his plan to promote him to the imperial court to be the commander of the state, and the fact that he was going to serve as the assassin of the state.

Zhang Ji said: "The lord of the state assassin will definitely bring hope for recovery to many areas that have been under siege for a long time." But don't drive with caution. ”

"Don't drive the history is a very respected official in a state, and the status in the state is second only to the history of assassins, and he is not yet competent."

Tong Yuan explained: "De Jong's appointment as a farewell driver is not to let you leave the current land, but to use it as a foundation to prepare for the restoration of more land in the state. From the point of view of character and ability, De Jong is the best choice, don't be humble anymore. ”

Zhang Ji replied: "I think that I have a respected status, and I am also an important person to inspect the state and county, and it is best to be a respected and stable follower." If you want to take on this responsibility, it is more appropriate to serve as a governor than to drive otherwise. ”

Although Tong Yuan has been in this era for more than half a year, he already has a little understanding of county officials and neighboring states, but his research efforts are far from enough. For example, the role and candidates in the field of don't drive and rule have not been considered very carefully.

After Zhang Ji said this, he found that it was indeed more suitable to govern China than to drive it separately.

So, according to what Zhang Ji said, it was planned to let him serve as the second highest position after the other driver. Responsible for people's livelihood, administration, clerical and other affairs. However, don't drive this position, just leave it vacant and talk about it later.

After discussing many things, the two took their attachments and went to Haoyang while inspecting the townships. At this time, the imperial court was declining, and the central government could no longer supervise the fiefdoms as before.

As Tong Yuan, the Marquis of Haoyang, his Heyang County belongs to his independent administrative region to a considerable extent, and of course Heyang also has his office.

Tong Yuan and his entourage focused on inspecting several teams in one township and three tuns, and in addition to completing their own production according to the plan, each tun spontaneously produced a lot of vital activities. There are those who engage in side jobs, those who teach literacy, and those who organize activities.

Although, more than half of them are to pass the time and entertainment, but Tong Yuan does not intend to suppress it.

He won't do thankless things, if he wants to promote some side jobs or teaching, he can achieve results through food, clothing, and rising rewards, so why bother mainly through suppression?

He and Zhang both discussed, for the teaching of skills is good, for children who are good at teaching literacy, can be rewarded with chicken eggs, clothes and other practical rewards in the tun, especially the excellent, but also in the tunli to hold the corresponding position.

Of course, this is just a guide, and there are specific military tuns and civilian tuns, which operate according to the situation, and with Zhang Ji's pragmatic style, I believe there will be no problems.

When it was just dark, the group arrived at Haoyang City.

Tong Yuan looked at this fiefdom of himself, from being destroyed and the people's livelihood withering, to now showing fresh vitality, and he was determined to do better in his heart.

"Now, how long will it take to eat a meal of chicken?"

"On the side of the Juntun family, it's almost once a month, and Mintun will be even longer. However, not long after the end of the New Year, after another two or three months, the wheat in the field will be ripe, and then the stone mills will be set up in each tun, and everyone will be able to eat noodles. ”

It seems that there is still a far, far difference between him and that person. Zhang Ji just talked about stone grinding, and he is really meticulous in production. Tong Yuan vaguely remembered that during that time in Chang'an, he also ate a few times that was considered to be relatively expensive wheat rice, which was a waste of wheat.

Historically, the development of stone mills has promoted the further promotion of wheat, making it gradually rise to the staple food.

However, the operation of stone mills requires the support of livestock and water conservancy, and it is difficult for the general small-scale peasant economy to operate well, but the landlord estates such as the scholars and the powerful have used a lot.

The tuntian system just promoted the development of wheat planting and stone grinding, and the speed of promotion even exceeded that of the Shi clan and Haoqiang, which played an important role in the development of Tongyuan's career in the future.

When Tong Yuan came back this time, there was one more thing, that is, he was preparing to carry out military exercises in Xiayang, Haoyang, and Yaxian.

In previous wars, most of the dreadnoughts, this professional armed force, participated in relatively little of the elite military cantonments as veterans. This time he planned to conduct an emergency combat exercise assuming harassment by the nomads of the north.

He discussed with Zhang Ji, and the plan was discussed by the previous generals of the Dreadnought Army. The specific operation was carried out by Zhang Ji, who had been in charge of the military camp for a long time, and served as the commander-in-chief.

The invading side is to be served by the unseeded Qiang who has cooperated for more than half a year. Of course, in the spring, their tribe had to go to the place where the water and grass were abundant to graze, so they used thousands of catties of bean feed to supplement the horses, and invited 500 cavalry.

Zhang is quite concerned about this matter, he knows that it is still just a drill, and when he takes up the position of governor of the state, what awaits him may be to go deep into Shangjun and restore his homeland.

There was still half a month to prepare for the exercise, and he went to Shenlong, the commander of the Xinju Prefecture Army

Shen Long said: "In the past six months, their army of soldiers and horses, who are good at unloading mountains, has absorbed many men who are good at crossing mountains and mountains, building roads and preparing land. During this time, the stone of Liangshan in the north of Haoyang was used to re-pave the main road of the three counties. ”

"In addition, several trails to the northern mountains have been explored, and dozens of stone and wooden bridges have been built in and around the river-filled plain to facilitate access."

Tong Yuan asked: "It's very good, the positioning of the unloading department is to build roads and bridges and explore mountain roads, and there is a chance to excavate the tomb." It's spring now, I don't know what the plan is for the inverted bucket? ”

Shen Long's honest face flashed with a hint of cunning, and said: "There are more than ten small tombs that have been targeted, so I won't talk about them one by one. There are also two large tombs, which require special instructions from the general. ”

"Which two?"

"The first one is the tomb of the Zhijia of the Jin Kingdom in Xie County and Puban in Hedong. The second is the tomb related to the Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the area of Linfen and Jiangyi. ”

This is related to the Jin Kingdom, but it is really more convenient from a geographical point of view.

Before he came to Shenlong, he thought about it from a historical and cultural perspective, such as precious pearls, agate, and precious stones that could be partially rewarded to soldiers, and jade and silk engraved on silk should be preserved.

He even thought about building a museum, but at this stage he would include himself before making a decision.

So he said, "Well, I really didn't expect it." The two places are not very far apart, so you can explore them if you are sure. I do have a property requirement, and each person can only take one item that can be carried with me and give it to me for inspection. The rest will be confiscated, and I will reward them according to the circumstances. Wouldn't this arrangement be bad for experienced soldiers? ”

"No problem. Please rest assured that although our unit relies on a large army to open mountains and unload mountains, it generally dispatches less than 100 people at a time. The rest of the newcomers will also go to some small tombs for training. Therefore, there will be no situation where veterans do not deserve. ”

Shen Long knew that the Jieling Department was no longer the tomb robbers of the past, and as a soldier of the Xinjuzhou Army, he had to obey the arrangement and abide by military discipline. It is already very generous for the general to be able to give such a good treatment of food and drink, and to allow him to take an item.

Tong Yuan's expectation for the ability of the unloading department to open mountains and unload mountains is actually not only in terms of inverted buckets. Now he wants to discuss with Shenlong the plan that he thinks of after entering Hedong.

"Captain Shen, there is a thing, which is quite common in Hedong and even Bingzhou, I believe that it will be encountered when the unloading of the ridge is reversed, the value of this thing is not under the salt and iron, I don't know if the soldiers and horses of the unloading ridge can specially excavate this thing?"

Shen Long was puzzled: "The value is comparable to salt and iron?" I know that the state is mountainous, and there are indeed a lot of high-quality stones, but they should not be very ...... Ah, is it ......?"

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Tong Yuan's eyes, "This thing is Shi Tan." Now it is mostly used as a winter heating for the wealthy, and I plan to use it to expand the iron industry, support the army in the winter away from fighting, and finally put it into the market and make some money. ”
