The next morning, the court was full of discussions about the powers of the old and new departments, and personnel, and Sun Xiangfu, who stayed up late last night, listened to drowsy, and finally waited until the dynasty was dispersed, Sun Xiangfu made an appointment with Li Gongyan and Wei Ting, and came to the Taifu Temple.

The plaque here has been removed, I believe that soon the plaque of the Ministry of Agriculture will be hung up, and the yatang that originally belonged to the Taifu Siqing will also belong to Sun Xiangfu in the future, on the left is Li Gongyan, on the right is Wei Ting, but the officials at the level of Langzhong and below have not yet come to report, Sun Xiangfu has to look at the roster in his hand to roughly understand the situation, almost all of them are urging Zheng Wang Lu Li Wu surnamed seven.

"Two colleagues, we have to make a work plan for the headquarters first."

Although Sun Xiangfu is the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, at present, the position of the governor of Anbei is still concurrent, and he is also responsible for the recruitment and transfer of the Eastern Expedition, but I am afraid that in a year or two, most of the daily work needs to be handed over to Li Gongyan and Wei Ting.

"Sun Shangshu asks for instructions, I'll do my best to implement it."

For this unprecedented department, Li Gongyan and Wei Ting are both blindsided, and they are scholars who don't understand agricultural affairs, so they don't have any good advice to put forward at all.

"First of all, it is the construction of the local yamen, Your Majesty will have a will to go to the various provinces later, bother Li Shilang to run away, and build the yamen of each province, the chief official, let you concurrently serve as the lang, and the adjutant is served by the outsider, I also have a set of methods for selecting officials from the local area, how to operate, you can take a look later.

In addition, the liquidation of the acres of land in Guanzhong, it will be handed over to Wei Shilang to deal with, you can first borrow the tax account books from the household department, according to the records of the tax account books, all the fields are measured on the spot, and when the spring ploughing next year, we will return all the fields in Guanzhong, if there is a surplus in the fields, then part of the fields will also be returned to farmland. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he handed the two of them the procedures for electing officials he had written, as well as the booklet of the standards set by the officials of each yamen.

"The subordinate obeys." After Li Gongyan and Wei Ting answered in unison, they took the booklet and flipped through it.

After reading these things written by Sun Xiangfu, they basically understand the overall structure and management system of the farm.

However, just the two major tasks that Sun Xiangfu gave them were enough for the two of them to be busy for a few months, and it was at least more than a year before the Ministry of Agriculture spread out across the country and play a role.

After saying this, Sun Xiangfu thought for a while before he said, "This official also holds several positions, I'm afraid that the time spent on duty in Chang'an will not be too much, and in the future, two more people will take turns to sit on duty to perform affairs, in addition, leave two more Lang Zhong and Wai Lang, responsible for handling some daily work, the rest of the officials, do not need to sit in the Yatang, after that, I will replace the middle of those fields from a few people, nearby, a piece of good land of more than 300,000 acres, as a base for breeding and seedling breeding of the Ministry of Agriculture, They work in the village where the base is located. ”

Agronomy, the biggest role is to continue to study and improve planting varieties, since Datang now has the Ministry of Agriculture, then, in the future, to provide some crop seeds to the people of the country, to improve everyone's yield, is one of their duties, but don't look at crops like watermelon, cantaloupe seeds are simple to keep, but the people don't know!

This era is not like the later generations, as soon as the TV broadcast is broadcast, everyone will know, even if you use the newspaper to record the method in detail and distribute it to the people, but most of the people do not know how to read, so, in the first few years, they can only rely on the government to leave them good seeds, and even after raising seedlings, let them plant in the same way.

Therefore, it is more important to establish a more professional breeding and seedling base, but it is not as in the past, let the happy village fund to help everyone, and the place of the happy village is always too small, before there are Huangzhuang, or Qin Qiong and other families of the field to help supply, but also to most of the Guanzhong to transport seedlings, if it is facing the whole country, it is a little insufficient.

Therefore, the Xingfu Village side, at most, will be responsible for the breeding and seedling breeding of most of the Guanzhong area in the future, and the breeding base of the Ministry of Agriculture is to cultivate more kinds of crop seedlings and send them to the whole country.

"It takes a lot of money to build such a large base, as well as the government office!"

Li Gongyan admires Sun Xiangfu's ability very much, and knows that he is going to do a big game, but the cost of 300,000 acres of breeding and seedling base is huge.

"Find the Ministry of Finance, and it will be implemented immediately, at least 500,000 yuan, if there is no money, we will take out a loan, we have an output of 300,000 mu of land, even if it is a loan of 500,000 yuan, we can repay it almost in a year, and we don't have to burden it from the court."

If a functional department can help the imperial court make a profit, then, no one in this department will not dislike, the Ministry of Agriculture, as long as it is in the hands of Sun Xiangfu, it is destined to make a lot of profits for the imperial court, because, in the future, it will be a large seller of high-yield seeds, Sun Xiangfu has even thought about finding a ceramic factory to customize a batch of clay pots, the 300,000 acres of high-yield seeds in the experimental field, into a fixed package, for market sales, just like some shops in Chang'an East City that sell seeds of flower species.

In later generations, the business of selling seeds is very common, but in this era, it is rare, and the common people do not like to have requirements in this regard, generally, they take the grain harvested by themselves in the previous year, and make the seeds of the next year, and the yield per mu can be imagined.

"Then what is our Ministry of Agriculture doing in the court?"

Wei Ting was born in a family after all, he is better at politics, and he is more concerned about the status of the Ministry of Agriculture in the court, it just so happens that Sun Xiangfu is a technical talent, and he doesn't want to be entangled in politics all the time, just wait for the Tang Dynasty to survive the current war period and settle down, he can plant a few experimental fields, and in terms of politics, all of them will be handed over to Wei Ting to deal with, which is not bad.

Haosheng thought about it, Sun Xiangfu said, "According to His Majesty's concept, the Ministry of Agriculture should not only manage the planting of the people's fields across the country, but also manage the grain storage, let's first use a year or so to grasp the situation of cultivated land in the country, in the future, what to plant in the fields of the people, our guidance is very important, reasonable regulation and control arrangements, in order to prevent the people from planting in a pile, resulting in overproduction, perhaps insufficient demand." ”

Hearing that the Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of grain, Wei Ting suddenly became happy, he is in charge of the granary of the world, which is a heavy power and fat difference, but he has already thought too much, the storage that Sun Xiangfu said is not the storage of all grain, but the storage of emergency food.

Last night, Sun Xiangfu mentioned to Li Shimin what the country of Datang is most likely to be defeated, and the answer is 'natural disasters'.

In order to ensure that the country is not knocked down by natural disasters, Sun Xiangfu suggested setting up a standing position, this system first originated in the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty called it the 'leveling law' is that there is a court to come forward, cheap and expensive to sell grain, mulberry hemp and other things, to stabilize prices, Li Shimin in last year after the Guanzhong disaster, ordered the state and county across the country to set up a righteous warehouse, that is, the people per mu of land to receive two liters of grain reserves in the righteous warehouse, and so on in the future disaster year, free loans to the people.

However, Sun Xiangfu felt that it was a bit ridiculous to lend the people's grain to the people, and he suggested that Li Shimin combine the Yicang system with the equalization method, and when the market grain price was too low, purchase and reserve a certain amount of emergency support grain, and then play some role in smoothing the grain price after the emergency guarantee grain was sufficient.

It can be seen from the past market conditions that there is a big difference between the price of grain before the autumn harvest and the price of grain after the autumn harvest, and this price difference is often caused by the common people to suffer losses, and when there is a shortage of grain, they have to buy it at a high price.

First of all, there is a certain amount of grain in the warehouse to ensure that everyone will eat even if they are affected by disasters.

Its effect is that when the people are short of food, they don't need to go to the market to buy it at a high price, they only need to go to the regular closing position to borrow, and after the autumn harvest, they can pay it back with new grain, which makes all the merchants who like to hoard Juqi unable to make a fuss about the food that the people need.

It's just a way to change the way to solve the problem of grain consumption for the people at the bottom, and it can also ensure that there are always new grain reserves in the regular closing position, this suggestion was regarded as a magic policy by Li Shimin, and even if it was adopted, since the suggestion was put forward by Sun Xiangfu, then it was implemented by Sun Xiangfu.

Therefore, in addition to reporting to the higher level of the county's agricultural work, the officials of the agricultural gate in each county also have to manage the permanent liquidation here, but the fact that the original Yicang and the management of Yicang can all be collected under the banner of the Ministry of Agriculture ensures that the Ministry of Agriculture also has a certain amount of manpower available in the county-level administrative department.

The three of them chatted in the yamen for a while, and the officials who were transferred to the farm gate by Li Shimin were late.

There's no way, put Sun Xiangfu himself, and when he encounters this situation, he wants to be late, because this top boss is the person he has impeached and scolded before, and now, he has to go to someone else's hands on an errand, and the scene will be embarrassing.

Since all the officials who were dispatched were in Beijing, Li Shimin's will had requirements above, and he had to take up his post today, so when the government was about to be released, Sun Xiangfu's office was full of several rows of officials, including 16 middle-level officials in Guanglang, 24 officials at the level of non-staff, and more than 40 officials with grades.

Sending so many people shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to the Ministry of Agriculture, and it can also be seen that Li Shimin doesn't want these family officials to be mixed in the court, and all of them are packed and sent to Sun Xiangfu, which can be regarded as a small punishment for the family planning students!

"Your colleagues are very embarrassed to see the expression of this official, this official understands, but there is no need, above the court, different political views, mutual impeachment, it is a common thing, this official will not take it to heart, since you have been assigned to the Ministry of Agriculture, it will be one with the honor and disgrace of this official, I hope you will do your best in the future, do not be found by this official to have any traitors, otherwise, this official will settle the old accounts together."

Sun Xiangfu's opening remarks are very shocking, mixed into the hall to be a five- or six-grade official and not small, if you are picked up by others, it will not be cost-effective, although the monthly income of hundreds of times is not high, but the face is very important!
