In later generations, the common people will always hear the word "market economy" in various propaganda, but for the vast majority of people, they may not understand what the market economy is. And Jiang Tian dared to let the cabinet leave the holy decree in the middle because he knew that Zhang Tao had just not seriously thought about which method was better under inertial thinking, and he was not blindly pursuing efficiency without reckless consequences. On the one hand, Zhang Tao, who has experienced various large-scale production movements, is also a little apprehensive about it, on the other hand, although China is in ruins, it is far from the sense of urgency to catch up in his hometown, in any case, even if there are no these two traversers, China can at least rely on the total economic output to maintain the world's first throne for 200 years. In Jiang Tian's version of the castor oil procurement plan, in addition to asking the farmers in Huangzhuang to plant castor beans in the fields, in front of the house and behind the house, and to purchase castor beans at a protective price to extract oil, for the vast rural areas, he only issued a list to announce that in the future, the castor crops purchased at a high price, those who are willing to plant can be sent to the designated purchasing station, and those who are unwilling to plant are not forced to be apportioned, and indicate that castor oil is poisonous and inedible.

"It's as simple as that?" Zhang Tao looked at Jiang Tian in disbelief.

"It's that simple!" Jiang Tian nodded: "What is the market economy, what you want is to use the invisible hand of the market to promote a qiē, not only capital is profit-seeking, generally speaking, as long as it is normal, people will want to get more benefits, as long as they can see the business opportunities here, and the state also encourages it, then they will coordinate the production problem themselves." ”

"But how do you convince them that they can benefit from it? You know, even if Huangzhuang's planting is effective, it will take them a year or two to be sure that they can make money? ”

Jiang Tian laughed when he heard this: "This is going to be a little trick, in the final analysis, this is actually a national credit problem, at this stage, our policy has not yet penetrated into the hearts of the people, and it will not let the people willingly follow us to engage in industrialization, so take advantage of the gossip personality of the Chinese people for thousands of years, as long as the time comes, send people to spread around, saying that you bought castor because you got a book of heaven by chance, and there is a kind of magic weapon in the book that is invincible to be refined, so this is the castor bean to cast the divine soldier, Then do you say that the people believe? Is it to believe? Or do you believe it? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tao was speechless, because he also understood how immoral Jiang Tian's approach was, if you tried your best to explain to the people, tell them how wonderful the prospect of industrialization is, and how beautiful life will become, they may not believe it. But you have to say that the emperor buys something for immortality, for the sake of forging swords and swords, or even to improve his ability to favor ** beauties! No matter how unreliable the source of this news is, everyone will be sure that this is the truth, and they will definitely do what they like in order to leave a good impression on the emperor......

Zhang Tao, who was stunned for a long time, couldn't help but sigh: "Why do I suddenly think that this emperor deserves to be so pathetic? ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed like this back then!" Jiang Tian is also related.

After talking about work for a long time, Jiang Tian finally seized the opportunity to ask Zhang Tao for a small favor. Feeling that there are too many women in his backyard, he doesn't want to keep the Su family for a moment, but the Su family's land in his hometown has long been confiscated, and there is nowhere to go, so Jiang Tian wants to place them in Huangzhuang as a royal tenant in line with the principle of being a good person to the end, but this matter can only be decided by Zhang Tao.

"Alas...... If he hadn't taken the blame for himself, why would he have today's disaster! Zhang Tao sighed and agreed to this request.

In this way, the daughters of the Su family had a happy ending because the Jiang family disregarded their previous suspicions, and because Jiang Tian personally interceded in front of His Majesty, he was allowed to settle in Huangzhuang in the capital. I don't know how many criminal family members are envious of this time, they are all in the army or the fate of being exiled into slavery, and for a while, everyone knows about Jiang Tian's good name again, and it also makes some people who want to pull his pigtails have to stop temporarily.

But Jiang Tian, who was in it, didn't feel anything about it, he just felt that he had finally completed a task assigned by his father, and there were still a bunch of national affairs waiting for him to complete. First of all, after Qiu Tian returned to Beijing, he read this excerpt only a few days earlier than other officials, and then the various issues mentioned in it triggered a wide range of "debates" in the court. This is not half a month later, it is the first spring exam of the Chinese Dynasty, all forces are staring at this last eight-share scholar, those traditional civil and official forces are hoping to stuff a few more of their own people into the officialdom in this final madness, but even if it is a test of eight shares, today it will be mixed with a mathematics test, although the emperor has already made it clear that this time it will not be too difficult to test the waters, but everyone still has no bottom in their hearts, God knows that the pair of brothers who have always looked down on science will have something to make it difficult for the scholars.

"Don't ask!" Jiang Tian scolded a group of flattering students: "This math problem is also at the level of junior primary school, all the people who let you listen to the news put their hearts in their stomachs, unless you can't count, there is no reason why you can't do it." ”

Since even Jiang Tian said so, everyone will smile and stop entanglement, but at this time, there will always be one or two people who don't open their eyes and will stand up and ask some extra questions, and this person who doesn't open their eyes is none other than Zhang Huan.

"Sir, sir! Since the question is so simple, what is the purpose of the imperial court? ”

As soon as his question came out, the students who had gradually dispersed suddenly pricked up their ears, most of these people were side branches of the family, like Tian Xuhai, Song Yi and other eldest sons came to study science, they were a very small number of outliers, if they didn't know that this ring was the prince, they didn't take science courses too seriously. But who would have thought that the imperial court seemed to be talking about science as the top priority of future scientific expeditions, and now the eldest sons of their families who have been reciting Ziyue and poems are dumbfounded, and this is why the parents of various families let them come to inquire about the news. Now the prince has asked this kind of question again, obviously looking down on this class of scholars.

Jiang Tian looked at Zhang Huan, who looked puzzled, and thought to himself if this child could be a few years older, I don't know if he would ask this kind of question: "Although the imperial court selects scholars, although it is necessary to select the best of the best in order to obtain the talents of the pillars, but learning all kinds of knowledge is by no means overnight, so I will give them a buffer time, which can be regarded as the best of your majesty's benevolence." ”

This explanation is no different from the official explanation, but everyone is still at ease, and they are always afraid that as the deputy chief examiner, he will have nothing to do and find problems. As a result, all kinds of worship posts came one after another, and there was a great posture of taking turns to go into battle and set up a magnetic posture with him. In addition to making him tireless, it also made the alley in front of the house crowded every day, except for Boss Zhao, who had a lot of money because of this, and the tea money could be received softly, few people were happy about it. So Jiang Tian, who felt that he couldn't let things develop like this, came up with a good idea.

"Pre-exam assault training class?" Looking at the banner in front of them, the people who were a little surprised didn't know why.

Then everyone saw a little child flash out of the gate of Jiang Mansion, this child is still known to everyone, that is, Zhao Zhi who followed Jiang Tian to learn cross talk, only to see him standing under the banner with a big grin, and then took out a big horn made of iron sheet and shouted: "Everyone listen, my lord feels that you have no way to study in order to take the exam, and the first-class teachers in the special imperial education academy come to teach, one lesson a day, not a penny, but anyone who does not know how to answer mathematics can come to audit, until the exam is closed." ”

Of course, Jiang Tian's approach is nothing new in later generations, even in this era, but because of his identity, the sensational effect of this matter is not ordinary, regardless of whether those who take the exam really like him, the representative of the new school, at least as the deputy chief examiner, what does it mean to open the door to students from all over the world now? Does it mean that as long as he stands in the right position this time, he can leave a place in the court in the future, and he can even be regarded as his protégé of the crown prince? I have to say that Jiang Tian originally wanted to open a pre-exam improvement class, so that these candidates could know the shape of the math exam papers, but when the matter spread more and more, the nature became that he Jiang Tian began to recruit his own forces, and some people even interpreted that this was the emperor testing these candidates, if anyone went to Jiang Tian's school to report to school for a few days, even if they completely drew a line with traditional science, they would not be counterattacked in the future!

"Can't they just be simpler?" Jiang Tian looked at the high-spirited candidates through the window, and at this moment, a teacher from the Imperial Education Academy was explaining the format of the exam papers.

Qiu Tian, who was following Jiang Tian, pouted slightly, he thought to himself that with your identity and status, even if you really just hold a simple purpose, no one will really think that you are simple. However, he still echoed and said: "Indeed, as the adults said, this person's heart is no longer ancient. ”

Jiang Tian turned his head to look at him, but he couldn't hear the pun in his words. In the past two years, although efforts have been made to restore local agricultural production, especially many destitute southern soldiers have been placed in various places, although they cannot recover their vitality in a short period of time, they should at least show vigor. However, when Qiu Tian really went down to take a look, the development of things had completely exceeded people's expectations, not only did the local clan forces return in a big way, but also in order to compete for the ownerless fertile land, whether it was the traditional local tyrants or those resettled soldiers, they more or less formed a circle of interests to do some tricky and plundering, as for concealing the cultivated land or concealing the grain output to the central government to help the grain to fill their pockets, it has become an unspoken rule in this kind of area. It can be said that in addition to the absence of major official forces, the entire rural areas of northern China simply regressed to the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty. Faced with such a scene, Jiang Tian had already felt the blazing anger in Zhang Tao's heart, and he didn't know how many heads had fallen to the ground.
