Jiuyuan County originally did not exist, it was Sun Xiangfu who opened up nearly one million acres of fields along the plains of the Changjiang Lake District, and settled 30,000 households before the newly established county-level administrative district, so in addition to the fields, and 30,000 households, there is not even a county seat, let alone the county government, everything is starting from scratch, of course, the construction of the county seat and the county government began a few months ago, and now it has begun to take shape.

"I thought you would show your face when you went to Dingxiang, why did you get to the point of dismissal and dismissal?" The plain land, after it was finished, it was as neat as a knife cut, and the perspective was very good, and Lawyer Pei found Sun Xiangfu's carriage from afar, and greeted him on horseback.

Sun Xiangfu opened the curtain of the door, sat side by side with Liu San, who was driving the car, and said, "Killing Wang Hao, even if it is at the expense of the officials, it is worth it in my opinion." ”

Hearing this, Lawyer Pei nodded and said, "That's the case, as long as you don't lose Your Majesty's trust, it will be a matter of time before you recover." ”

"I can't say anything about the issue of trust, now I want to do something in Jiuyuan County to prove to Your Majesty that my proposition is correct and strengthen Your Majesty's trust in me."

"Really? If there is anything I can help with, you can say it bluntly, although my subordinates do not belong to the Jiuyuan County Governance, but they are in charge of the construction of the embankment, and in this regard, they will definitely be able to ensure that the construction will continue according to the way you planned before. ”

"The matter of building the wall, after Zhao Gong takes office, he should increase his efforts and continue to implement it, and there are many people who will settle here in the future, and it is estimated that by the end of the year, you don't know where to be transferred.

However, building a good field, is only the foundation for the development of here, our Jiuyuan County has all been built, has begun the next step of development and construction, the best, before Zhao Gong takes office, we will implement it first, let him see the results, and build it into a model county in the Shannan Province area, and all the fields in the future. ”

"Model County?" Lawyer Pei has never heard of this word.

Sun Xiangfu explained, "It is to let them manage according to the policies, management systems, and management methods implemented in our county." ”

Lawyer Pei suddenly said, "I understand, you are here to guide Brother Dali to engage in construction and development." ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and asked, "What about others?" ”

"At the county government construction site!"

Soon, under the leadership of lawyer Pei, Sun Xiangfu came to the Jiuyuan County Ya under construction.

Sun Dali, this guy, you call him to work OK, call him an official, he doesn't have that consciousness at all, the emperor gave him an appointment, he came as a last resort, after coming, he began to build the county government as his home, he doesn't go far away, he doesn't have a nest, he feels like he is wandering outside, he now has three concubines, seven children, the house is not big.

"Wearing a new official robe to do muddy work, you are really not afraid of losing the dignity of the court!"

"I don't know what is decent or undecent, I only know that since I started working a few days ago, the workers here have worked harder, and in less than a month, people will be able to live here, just in time for the winter, and our family will be able to live in a new house."

Sun Dali's characteristic is simplicity, with him in Happy Village, the labor productivity of the entire village will be driven by him, if it weren't for Sun Xiangfu's matter, Li Shimin gave him a strong order, he is willing to stay in Happy Village for a lifetime.

"You, the county magistrate, are working in person, and those workers dare to be lazy, by the way, didn't your mother come with you?"

"No! She threw herself on the chicken farm in the village, and she didn't want to go there, and the village also had to keep some of the older generation in order to suppress the small ones. By the way, when I came, I handed over the keys to the village treasury to Zhao Da, and let him temporarily take charge of the public property in the village. ”

"Those things, in fact, are not worth a few dollars, give it to him, just give it to him! What will come out in the future will definitely be more high-end. ”

"By the way, isn't your field about to be harvested? Why do you have time to come to me? ”

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Then I'll let your sister-in-law fry a few dishes, let's drink some at noon, and Brother Pei, you can come too."

"Okay." Lawyer Pei smiled and nodded.

Jiuyuan County, which should be the county with the largest population and the highest land utilization rate in the entire Tang Dynasty except for Jing County, can be put into agricultural and animal husbandry production almost except for roads, ditches for irrigation, and places of residence.

At present, 30,000 households are divided into nine large fields, planting a total area of about 1 million mu, each household has 25 mu of paddy fields and 5 mu of dry land, which is almost 900,000 mu.

Then there are the public land distributed to each village, fish ponds, lotus root ponds, forest farms, about 50,000 or 60,000 mu, and about 20,000 or 30,000 mu of official land, which are mainly reserved for distribution to the new households produced by the aborigines.

At present, these official fields are cultivated by the army led by lawyer Pei, and when the construction work is transferred to farther places, it will be returned to the county magistrate.

In addition, the wide embankments and the berm forest on both sides are considered to be the livestock areas of the county, and they are basically mainly used to raise buffalo for arable land.

Of course, the largest area, but also belongs to the Yangtze River beach, as well as the big river between the embankments, this is an excellent breeding place, now, No. 123 this kind of early construction of the big wall, have developed a considerable scale of duck farming.

In this area of dozens of kilometers, there are nearly 100,000 people living, and during the day, no matter where you are in Jiuyuan County, you can basically see houses, fields, and a certain number of people.

As soon as Sun Xiangfu and lawyer Pei sat down in the tent where Sun Dali lived temporarily, they went straight to the lecture.

"Brother Dali, I have a few suggestions on how to govern Jiuyuan County, you can listen to it."

"You don't know me yet? Tell me to be obedient, this is successful, let me be the master of so many people, lead them to develop, I will definitely not succeed, anyway, what you say, I will do it, listen to you, you can't be wrong. ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just say it." First, you have to make a new rule. ”

"What rules?"

"Publicity, the rules of publicity."

"Public, public?" Sun Dali asked in surprise, he has seen a lot of the world over the years, and he is no longer the small farmer he was a few years ago, but he is still very unfamiliar with these two words.

"Yes, the meaning of openness is that any political or industrial projects led by your Jiuyuan County Government will be openly explained to the people of the county.

The meaning of publicity is that any finance, resource use, and balance are made into a table that the people can read and understand, and publicize it to the people, so that they know what is in the county government, where the usual expenditures and expenses are used, and how much the balance is.

The entire Jiuyuan County is actually not big, the radius is less than one hundred and fifty miles, go to the southeast, northwest, any direction, dozens of miles, and it will come to the end.

Moreover, all the boundaries have built cement roads and canals for boats to travel, as well as embankments that can pass through cars and horses, so to speak, the traffic is very developed, and it is a few points stronger than that of Guanzhong, and the No. 5 Dayuan where you are located is located in the middle, so that any news of your government decree can be conveyed to the whole county, and even all the villages within one day, which is the advantage of your governance. ”

"So exactly, what are we going to do?"

"The first is to set up a subordinate administrative unit to convey and publicize your decree, most of which used to be called li, but it is better to call the township, if it is divided into li, you can want more than a dozen, it is not easy to unify, and it is directly divided into nine townships and towns according to the wall, and the county seat is located in the wall, which is directly managed by yourself.

Then, according to the current pattern of about two or three hundred households in one village, 30,000 households, about the same, can have more than 100 villages, in the village, there is a village head, who is directly managed by the township head.

Whether it is a township or a village, the two tasks of openness and publicity should be done in place, so that the people can see at a glance all the things that they should bear and enjoy. ”

"I can see what you mean by this system, which is a means to put an end to corruption!" Sun Dali said suddenly!

Sun Xiangfu was very surprised that Sun Dali had such an understanding, and said with a smile, "Putting an end to corruption is just a function of this policy, and the government decree is unimpeded, so that all the people can quickly know what they should do, then, their cohesion will be improved, and the production efficiency will be improved.

Moreover, the people who grew up in this environment are prone to the emergence of management talents to further promote the progress of production, because they are usually familiar with the policies of the county, and on these basis, there will definitely be people according to the actual situation, produce some reflections, put forward better opinions, so that everyone can make more progress in actual production, and the county will also reward all the people who put forward useful suggestions. ”

"Well, then I'll do as you say!" Sun Dali nodded again and again when he listened.

After so many years in Happy Village, he has long been accustomed to this mode of giving opinions, but this model can only be carried out within Happy Village before, and officials in other places are generally not willing to let the people point fingers at the government.

In this way, under the advantages of one or the other, a very large contrast will be formed, one is discounted on the basis of the original, and the other is further on the basis of the original.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu came today, definitely not just to talk about this problem, after Guo and Sun Dali's concubines brought a table of dishes, Sun Xiangfu said, "This open, publicized system is only a basis for the implementation of all systems, we must do a good job in several other internal management and Huimin projects on this basis, in order to truly make Jiuyuan County a model county in Shannan Province." ”

"What are the projects?" Sun Dali asked again.

Sun Xiangfu said the things he had thought about one by one, "First of all, it is the medical security and pension system, and our Jiuyuan County should imitate the factories in Weinan and take the lead in implementing these two systems." ”

"Medical security and pension system? It takes a lot of money to get this down, and now the county is poor and white, and there is only a little money left that you allocated to build the county seat and the county government, how can you afford it? ”

"Hehe, who said that it would cost a lot of money to implement this system? According to the tax standard of one million acres of land and two seasons per year, how much agricultural tax does Jiuyuan County need to pay to the imperial court in a year? However, about 300,000 stone grains, the value is less than 30,000 yuan, and what is our output, just 750,000 mu of rice fields, according to the output of more than nine stone rice last season, that is more than 7 million stone grain, with so much output, we can't just pile up at home to eat! You have to sell it, get money, do industry, and let all the people buy shares, invest, and get profits. ”

Speaking of doing business, not to mention Sun Dali, who is familiar with various industries in Xingfu Village, even Lawyer Pei probably knows the intention of Sun Xiangfu to make it public and public.
