Three days later, all the governors and county commanders under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou and Yingzhou, as well as Tao Gu and Shi Yue, rushed to the old palace camp where Zhou Nan was now stationed.

  Due to the small size of Yanjing and Pingzhou, there was no multi-level management organization, but only prefecture, county and central government offices. The states and counties are at the same level and are not subordinate to each other. The state is only a city, but there are more people in the city, and all kinds of shops are prosperous; The county contains more cities, but it is much smaller than the state city, and the people in the county are mainly engaged in agriculture and grazing.

  Pingzhou and Yingzhou are two prefectures and five counties, a total of two Zhizhou and five county orders, along with Taogu and Shiyue, enter the palace to meet Zhou Nan.

  As the commander of the Wansheng Army of Weichi Yanjing, the princess of Shu and the concubine, the name of Zhou Nan has long been known to people in Yanjing, not to mention these scribes who care about the world's major affairs and gain fame.

  Zhou Nan, who had already received the news, had already ordered people to arrange seats in the main hall of the old dynasty's palace, and Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi led their respective generals to the main hall. When leaving from Zunhua City and chasing Zhang Jun, Agu Zhe and Wang Sanmad followed Gao Yuan, Li Pei and Di Zhuang followed Yang Keshi, and fought all the way to Yuguan, which can be regarded as gradually integrating into the Wansheng army.

  In addition, there is also Wang Shunzhou, who wants to join the navy. Although there was no water battle this time, it can be regarded as going to the battlefield, and using the ship as a platform at sea to fly a flying car can be regarded as an experience. Compared with Agu Zhe, Wang Sanmad and others, Wang Shunzhou still lacks qualifications and the bearing of a leading general, and sits at the end in a formal manner, but to be able to attend this meeting, Wang Shunzhou doesn't know how many times he has laughed in secret.

  As the three heads of the guards of Zhou Nan's pro-army, Li Feixing, Han Gui, and Ma Daqiu can naturally be among them. Although each of the three only led a hundred people, they always followed Zhou Nan and experienced large and small battle formations.

  If Li Feixing's three soldiers are few enough, there is still one person, and there are only a few dozen soldiers under his command. Zuo Xiaosi, as the captain of the Eagle Guards, has gradually stopped being Zhou Nan's personal guard, and many times transmitting intelligence, finding out the enemy's situation, and cooperating with the Wansheng Army to capture the enemy city are all places where the Eagle Guards contribute.

  Tao Gu and Shi Yue led seven civil officials to walk in, and saluted Zhou Nan first, Tao Gu and Shi Yue didn't need to say anything, these seven officials stepped forward one by one to introduce their names and where they served to Zhou Nan.

  I have to say that these officials elected this time are basically young, and the oldest ones are less than 40 years old. The youngest is in his twenties. The vast majority of them were selected from the Jinshi in the upper two subjects, and only a few people were selected by Yu Liyan for the temporary examination this time.

  At such an age, Zhou Nan is quite satisfied. Young adults are the time to work hard and work hard, if you get some old-fashioned and slippery officials, you may not be able to do things, but you will definitely be able to do bad things.

  Zhou Nan asked about the recent allocation of land to each household in various prefectures and counties, and to Zhou Nan's surprise, there were too few people in Pingzhou and Yingzhou. If the fields were divided among households, there would be too much land to be cultivated by each household. Therefore, these prefectures and counties had to be flexible, according to the standard of ten acres of land per person, and the remaining uncultivated fields were uniformly given to the soldiers of the Wansheng Army stationed in the garrison.

  Seeing that he talked about the Wansheng army stationed in various places, Tao Gu also told Zhou Nan about the cultivation of soldiers, and there were about 500 soldiers in each city and about 1,000 in Dazhou County. It is calculated that 500 to 1,000 acres of land can be cultivated, so that the fields will not be barren, and second, the soldiers stationed there will not need to allocate grain and grass from the imperial court. They had already reported the matter to General Xiao, and General Xiao and the princess were very happy.

  As for Zhang Bang's selection of craftsmen from all walks of life, the parents and officials of these states and counties are quite complaining, feeling that all the good craftsmen under their rule have been withdrawn, and there is a shortage of craftsmen below, and now there is a shortage of them.

  Zhou Nan said with a smile: "The selection of craftsmen from all walks of life is by no means a matter of making good craftsmen only available for the use of the capital. Why was the Southern Dynasty able to earn tens or even millions of taels of tax silver from the Liao State in the border market? ”

  A young official below said excitedly: "Naturally, because of the high quality and high price of the goods in the Southern Dynasties, our Liao people love them more. ”

  Zhou Nan continued: "Since the price is high, why don't the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom compete to imitate it? ”

  "The craftsmen of the Southern Dynasty are highly skilled, of course, they are not made by the crude craftsmanship of our Liao Kingdom." It was the young official who said to move.

  "If it is said that the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom are stupid, it is not necessarily true. I also heard that the light Luo wax silk produced in Yanjing City in the past arrived in Bianjing City, but it was very sought-after, and two groups of high-quality tea could be exchanged for a wax silk. It can be seen that the weavers in Yanjing City are highly skilled, and the silk woven has surpassed the silk of the Southern Dynasty. How can it be said that the craftsmen of the Liao State are inferior to the Southern Dynasties? When Zhou Nan was in Bianjing before, he heard Han Cunyi, the shopkeeper of Han Ji Leather Shop, talk about Yanjing's wax silk, and at this time, he said it and asked the young official.

  The young official immediately blushed, and just said: "I only have flax and silk in Da Liao, which can be compared with the Southern Dynasty. ”

  Zhou Nan shook his head again and said, "Don't be arrogant in doing things, but you can't be arrogant. The Southern Dynasties can have today's level of craftsmanship because of thousands of years of continuous inheritance, mutual reference, and innovation, so that today's results can be achieved. The Liao State is only a few hundred years old, and a few hundred years ago, it was even more ignorant of agriculture and mulberry affairs, only knowing how to bend bows and shoot birds, walk horses and graze, and live with water and grass tents, and even build houses with bricks and tiles. was ridiculed by the southerners for "the Khitan family lives in the clouds", and what "the Khitan child is half-bald, born to drink and eat meat". Later, the continuous inflow of southerner craftsmen led to the emergence of craftsmen from all walks of life in Liao. Now the Liao craftsmen are all available, but they are not refined. ”

  Zhou Nan's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "Now the imperial court has convened and selected skilled craftsmen from all walks of life, so that these craftsmen can communicate with each other, learn from each other, and improve their respective skill levels. Everyone has gained fame and embarked on a career, and you must know Taixue. The imperial court wanted to borrow these craftsmen and build a Taixue that would serve as a prison to teach more and better craftsmen. Naturally, I will give you no shortage of shares at that time. ”

  Zhou Nan's first pass will be used as a metaphor for the eunuch, so that everyone present nodded again and again. Every time the imperial examination is opened, many students from Taixue pass the exam, naturally because Taixue brings together the most learned people in the country, and the natural level of the students taught will not be much worse. If these selected skilled craftsmen are allowed to teach their disciples, they will naturally be able to teach the best apprentices. And the most important thing is that craftsmen eat craft food, and many people will not teach their craft to others casually, which of course hinders the development and improvement of technology. Now let these craftsmen teach apprentices in batches, and the situation is different. The imperial court selects you as a general as a prisoner, and gives you a fixed amount of silver every month, and you are not afraid that you will steal your own job if you teach others. If you don't teach, someone else will teach you. In this case, it is natural to be able to teach more excellent craftsmen.
