Chapter 388: Ji Cao engaged in Zhang Shiping

In the blink of an eye, it took Liu Tao a month to finally adapt to the government affairs of the state. It's one thing to take over, it's another to get acquainted.

In particular, many of the data reported by various counties and counties are vague, and the statistics are not as detailed as those in Yunzhong County, which is simply infuriating. Is it because the former officials were lazy and did not do their jobs well, or is this the situation of the general environment? For example, there is a lack of sufficient numeracy talent......

Changshan Zhang has a lot of talents in this area, but he didn't need so many before, but now Liu Tao feels that it is not enough.

So he sent someone to find Zhang Shiping and asked him if he wanted to be engaged in the state plan Cao.

The latter had never heard of Ji Cao engaged in this position, and the official had heard of it, but if it could be called a state engagement, it must be a high-ranking official, and without saying a word, he left the caravan and came to report for duty.

"Brother Zhang, I won't be polite to you." After meeting Zhang Shiping, Liu Tao simply greeted each other and got to the point, "This Ji Cao is a new position I have prepared for my future work." An official who specializes in statistics and all kinds of data required under the rule of the state. ”

"Then, I don't know what data the lord needs?" Zhang Shiping already planned to join Liu Tao's command, so he was naturally called the lord.

"For example, population, I need to know how many people live in each county. It is necessary to know how many old people, how many children, how many young people, the ratio of men to women, and the birth rate of babies in the last three years. Liu Tao replied.

"This is a big project." Zhang Shiping was a little embarrassed, and there was a lot of manpower that needed to be used.

"You are engaged in the state planning Cao, which means that the counties are too guarded, and the county orders of the counties need to cooperate with your work in terms of statistics, understand?" Liu Tao immediately explained.

"In this case, the subordinate understands." Zhang Shiping also breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you just want this for?" ”

"First of all, I can understand how many conscripts and how many soldiers can be levied in a county. In the future, conscription will definitely be levied more in places where there are more young and strong, and less in places where there are fewer young and strong, or where there are fewer men, or no levy. Liu Tao replied.

"I see, in this case, it is indeed necessary to understand the proportion of young and strong people in the place." Zhang Shiping was stunned.

"At the same time, we can also know the birth rate, which indirectly reflects the livelihood of the county. If the infant birth rate is too high, it is necessary to find out the specific cause and then find ways to improve the problem. In fact, a lot of things in the so-called governance are in these statistical data. Liu Tao further explained.

"Subordinates are taught!" Zhang Shiping had never considered this issue before.

"Actually, you've thought about it, but it's in a different direction." Liu Tao said with a smile, "When it comes to doing business, you also need to understand the market of goods in various places, and then look at this year's production." In previous years, it was possible to purchase goods at a low price, but this year, due to the reduction in production, the price of goods may increase, and the purchase cost will increase, and it is not as cost-effective as buying in other places when the cost of transportation is calculated......"

"That's true......" Zhang Shiping nodded, he had indeed encountered this situation before.

"For the government, knowing this data, it can be regulated. For example, grain is bought at a low price in a bumper harvest area, deposited in a standing position, and then sold at a price slightly higher than the purchase price in a place where production is reduced, so as to ensure the stability of local grain prices without losing money to the government. Merchants can even be encouraged to transport grain to sell, and merchants can meet in other places to pay taxes......" Liu Tao thought for a moment.

After all, he also mostly hearsay about statistics and economics. But there is one thing he believes, and that is to give the people of this era a higher vision, and they will naturally gradually perfect these things.

The cost of system reform is relatively low, but it is the reform of science and technology that is the most headache. It's all about throwing money, if you're lucky, you can try it out, and if you're unlucky, it's trial and error, and if you're wrong, the rest is right.

Stacked in this way, step by step, it is the technology tree. Let's say that this steelmaking, this era to do this part, then the crucible must not be avoided, a qualified crucible needs high-temperature resistant porcelain. Then first of all, the porcelain must be fired.

Many civilian crafts are improved on the basis of military and industrial use, and there are also cases where civilian use is changed to military use. Anyway, just as steelmaking is concerned, there are many processes involved, and it can be smelted by simply building a blast furnace and burning coking coal, and it is estimated that only brainless Shuangwen can do it.

Zhang Shiping was like this, he was stunned for Liu Tao, and he only felt that he had lived in vain after so many years. The role of counting is so great, and as a result, the Zhang family is actually reduced to the extent that they are separated to do business......

Zhang Shiping wanted to cry very much, why didn't there be a king before who could see this?!

"Do a good job, your role is very important, no less than governing or driving." Liu Tao saw that he was so excited, so he came forward to encourage.

"The subordinates must do this job well and definitely live up to the expectations of the lord!" Zhang Shiping immediately responded, he is not only to repay Liu Tao's kindness, or to be promoted and make a fortune, but also to announce to the world that the Zhang family's proficient calculations are not frivolous, and even very important!

Liu Tao didn't expect Zhang Shiping to be so excited, but it doesn't matter, it's good that the enthusiasm is high.

And then the headache is Xun Yu, who is still engaged in the reform of government affairs in this governance, and as a result, there will be one more Ji Cao to do, so what about the work that Cao is engaged in?

"It's easy!" Liu Tao replied, "Ji Cao is responsible for statistics, and Ji Cao is responsible for revenue and expenditure management. ”

In the final analysis, accounting and cashiers are separated, and in the past, statistics were also bookkeepers, and cashiers were also bookkeepers, so there was too much room for operation.

"That's ...... That's fine! Xun Yu thought about it and understood the benefits of doing so, so he happily accepted the order. It's just that according to this result, then the position that Ji Cao is engaged in should be above that of Ji Cao.

"It seems that there are really a lot of whimsical ideas of the state pastor......" Chen Qun came to Xun Yu's side, and after receiving the expedition, Chen Qun immediately set off, which was the first batch to arrive.

After that, he pulled a strong man for Xun Yu and came over to help adjust the government affairs structure, and Chen Qun was more proficient than him in this regard.

The two are good at governance, and on this basis, Xun Yu is a housekeeper, and everything in the state is well organized. Chen Qun is good at government affairs, and is good at how to optimize government affairs and improve the efficiency of government affairs.

Being able to come up with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is mainly to reform the existence of Cao Wei's political structure, deducting some of the positions of the scholars themselves, in fact, the impact on later generations is just as huge.

It is said that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, while continuing the two Han Dynasty inspection system, is also a precondition for the imperial examination system. In the early days, this system can only be said to be completely tailor-made for the family. However, considering the times, Cao Wei's talent selection began to have problems at that time, and Cao Pi or Cao Rui needed to be recognized and helped by the family.

At that time, the nine-product Zhongzheng system was proposed, but in fact, it was more of a compromise with the family to make up for the impact of Cao Cao's three recruitment orders.

It's a pity that the family finally gave up on Cao Wei, Cao Pi and Cao Rui died prematurely, and Cao Wei's power began to fall into the hands of the ministers. Sima Yi may be loyal, but Sima Shi already has other ideas.

Under the leadership of Sima Shi and the foundation laid by Sima Zhao, Sima Yan successfully accepted Chan and established the Western Jin Dynasty, or the Northern Jin Dynasty. After all, since the Jin Dynasty, the Chinese dynasties have transitioned from the East and West Dynasties to the North and South Dynasties.

It is precisely because of this that we can be eclectic and appoint good talents. Even don't stick to conventional constraints, you can change it as convenient as it is. However, this kind of method, which seems to be lazy, can greatly improve the work efficiency of the government......" Xun Yu sighed.

"Wen Ruo, you and I are old friends, tell me, what does the state pastor think?" Chen Qun tried to ask, and directly modified it from the inherent system of the imperial court, and generally the only person who could do that could only be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

From this point of view, what Liu Tao did can even be said to be a bit blatant.

"The lord is a relative of the Han family, what can he think?" Xun Yu smiled, friendship is friendship, position is position, "Besides, the lord is also suffering from the problems of the previous system, so he wants to improve." He took the merger of states as a pilot, and if he could, he would naturally play the imperial court to revise it, and similar situations have been tried in many places. ”

Trying this thing is a real panacea, and it can be used in many places. However, it must also be admitted that the trial implementation of this can indeed avoid the situation that a certain policy is not suitable for the soil and water, resulting in the deterioration of people's livelihood.

As far as it is said that the agricultural reform was tried out in Yunzhong County, it was tried in all counties in Yunzhong, and then it was tried in Dingxiang, Taiyuan, and Shangdang. Wuyuan and Yanmen are not necessary, after all, Liu Tao decided to focus on grazing in that place.

Then there is the education reform, which also begins to be piloted in the cloud, and after a maximum of three years, after there are enough seowon priests and tutors, it will begin to spread to all counties. With sound data and experience, there will be less resistance to further promotion.

"Emperor Guangwu in the past, he also served the first emperor ......" Chen Qun was not fooled, and directly cited Liu Xiu as an example.

"That's because Emperor Gengshi wanted to kill Emperor Guangwu, so that Emperor Guangwu had to resist." Xun Yu smiled faintly.

"It's a good one who has to resist......" Chen Qun shook his head, he had long heard that Xun Yu had become a doorman under Liu Tao, and now it seems to be true. It seems that Yingchuan Xun may have begun to bet on Liu Tao.

So Yingchuan Chen, should also bet? Well, he's here anyway, and he'll be watching for a while......

Liu Tao sent people out to conquer, and Man Chong, Lu Qian and Chen Qun responded, but Liang Xi and Liu Fu did not respond. Of course, Liu Fu did not respond, mainly because his family said that Liu Fu went to Huainan, and his specific whereabouts were unknown, so he could not be informed.

Although Liu Tao also probably knew that Liu Fu would take refuge in Huainan for a while. But I didn't expect to go so early.

As for Guan Ning, Guo Yuan and Bing Yuan, they had already taken refuge in Liaodong, so they had to send someone to Liaodong to look for them. Liu Tao sent someone to go, after all, he also hoped to see if he could find Tai Shici over there.

Wang Xiu received it, but replied that he had served as the chief bookkeeper under Kong Rong, so he thanked Liu Tao for his kindness. Some people are like this, they are slow to start, and they may be recruited by others......

However, some people have disappeared in various ways, such as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, but they have not been found so far.

I wanted to say that I would dig Lu Su over, and then I thought about it before I realized that this guy is only 18 years old this year. He is the only son in the family, and he lost his father since he was a child, and he was raised by his grandmother. I guess I won't agree, he came here to be an official.

Anyway, this guy also hung up at the age of forty-six, and I don't know if it's a genetic disease. Fortunately, there was a widowed son, Lu Shu, who died of illness at the age of fifty-eight...... It is certain that it is biological.
