Chapter 47 The Imperial Court is also shameless
In the past month or so, officials from top to bottom in Fuling County have felt that a little change has taken place in their Taishou.
It's not that I work harder or anything like that - my own Guan Taishou has always worked hard. But compared with the past, the current Guan Taishou has a heartfelt enthusiasm. It's even more desperate to do things.
Maybe the lady is pregnant. The subordinates finally reached a consensus.
Because the medical conditions in Fuling County were so poor, after learning that Qian Qiang was pregnant, Guan Yi sent someone to send her back to the CD. It is conceivable that Mrs. Huang and other elders of the Guan family know the news, and they don't know how excited they will be.
The two souls in Guan Taishou's body did not have the same consciousness, so after sending his daughter-in-law away. Guan Yi also once fantasized about going to the nearby Wuxi Barbarian Village to observe the people's feelings, and by the way, he would be a barbarian girl or something. But in the end, the harsh reality told him: it was really just a fantasy.
Guan Taishou has been busy flying lately.
With the rapid development of the past year or so, the fruits of the tung trees around Fuling County have been picked out. Guan Yi had to move his tung oil production base to a mountain nest in the southeast of Hanfu County, which in the 21st century is China's largest producer of tung oil.
The large beasts around Fuling County have been almost extinct, and Zhao Yi has led a hunting party that has been restored to the size of 200 people to Hanjia County in the east.
Because the scale of pig breeding is getting larger and larger, the amount of soap, candles, and glycerin that has been developed on the basis of pig breeding is also increasing. On the one hand, more manpower is needed, and on the other hand, more land is needed. Now, the number of pigs in the pen under Sun Gang's charge has reached more than 3,000. More than 300 pigs can be slaughtered every month. As a result, the monthly output of soap in the workshops of the Fuxing Society is tens of thousands, and the monthly output of candles is stable at more than 50,000. And due to the increase in the number of live pigs, Fuling County has a growing shortage of external grain. The merchant ships of the Mijia caravan have been used dangerously frequently - and then, the shipyards below the Mijia merchant also need to increase the number of workers, and the merchant fleet needs to add more sailors.
The potato planting that Guan Yi misses the most has also ushered in a complete reversal of the situation: in September this year, the number of potato seedlings planted reached 200,000, covering an area of 350 acres. The two hills prepared by Guan Yi in advance were all occupied. When winter comes, the harvest of autumn potatoes will be as good as 20,000 stones...... Guan Yi plans to expand the mountain by one hill a year in the next two to three years until the potato output is stabilized at about 100,000 stone โ so that there is no need to buy large quantities of sorghum and other grains from outside to feed the pigs.
Everywhere there are people calling for errands, and every day people from new barbarian villages come to Fuling County to beg for a living. A lot of new situations arise every day...... The whole of Fuling County is now in chaos, and it is full of life.
Of course, the specific operation of these things does not need Guan Taishou to do it himself, and the staff led by Ma Guo has done a good job. But after all, this is a modern industrial chain established by the traverser in an agrarian society, so many things still need Guan Yi to personally take the helm, check, coordinate, and make decisions. These alone are enough to be too tired.
But Guan Taishou now has another position on his body: the head of the Revival School.
Although simple children's shoes are lustful, they are still reliable in doing things. Guan Yi asked him to buy 500 Wuxi Man's children, but it only took him two months to get them all doneโ300 boys and 200 girls. All of them are in good health and have clear eyes.
After receiving these 500 children, Guan Taishou issued an earth-shattering order in Fuling County: "Order to Establish a Compulsory School".
In this order, Guan Taishou said that now the industry in Fuling County is developing very well, and the county guard has some surplus money, so it is necessary to give some benefits to the majority of county residents: the government has opened a school - Fuxing School. All Han children whose parents are in the county government's civil register, aged 10 years old and under 15 years old. You can come to the Revival School to take the exam. Those who pass the exam are considered students of the Revival Academy. Tuition fees are free of charge during the study period, and the county government provides accommodation and three meals a day.
As soon as this order came out, Fuling County was in an uproar: education is a matter that all ethnic groups in the land of China attach great importance to. In the past, the people of Fuling County did not have enough to eat, so they did not think about the education of their children at all - even if it was free, and teenage children were already a very important labor force in the family. And now? Needless to say, there are countless Wuxi barbarian villages in the entire Fuling County that send their leaders to petition the county government: as long as the government allocates land, they are willing to be included in the Han people's register, pay taxes for the Han people, and serve in the military!
There is such a thing as land, but arable land is really limited. So this is not available to you. Besides, don't look at the Fuxing Society's steady money, but this income is not unlimited - at least for now, we don't have any ability, and it is impossible for us to popularize compulsory education in Fuling County.
So in the end, Guan Yi only recruited 700 Han teenagers, plus the 500 barbarian teenagers bought in advance, a total of 1,200 people. Ma Guo's budget for the Fuxing School is 10,000 stone of rice and flour and 1,500 stone of meat per year. The value of this little thing accounts for about one-tenth of the current annual turnover of the Renaissance Society.
Even so, this kind of treatment is far more than many ordinary people in the lower counties. After Shang Shutai received Guan Yi's report, his first reaction was, of course, disbelief. At that time, Zhuge Zhan said very out of shape in Shangshutai that Guan Zifeng had already bragged and bragged in order to become famous. What else did he say, this time he must clean him up.
As a result, the investigator sent by Shang Shutai returned to the CD with a sluggish face. In Shu Han's court, his jaw was shattered.
"It turns out that the production technology we used to spend 500,000 yuan to buy these things is indeed a serious underestimation of the value of these things."
"I can't imagine that the huge profits of these things are so ......"
Soon, there was a new voice in the court: since the profits of these things were so high, then the court should nationalize them. This income is then used to subsidize military spending.
As soon as this opinion came out, the entire Yuan Cong faction jumped up as quickly as if it had been pricked by a needle: What's the matter? Our Yuan descendants went to Fuling County to get something out, and made some money, is it wrong? If you have the ability, you can do it yourself! The children made money, and instead of making a fortune quietly, they took it out for the benefit of the people. As a result, I was targeted by you. There is no end to doing good deeds, who will dare to do things in the future? Is it really easy to bully our descendants? When Lao Tzu's ancestors accompanied the first emperor as a beggar, your father was still just a cell! Dong Gong attacked you, Wei Yanyu's party, listen to Lao Tzu, as long as Shang Shutai really dares to give such an order, Lao Tzu will dare to launch the Yulin Army to slaughter your whole family!
All of a sudden, the Imperial Palace, Shangshutai and the Yulin Army were all disturbed. At this time, the bureaucrats of Shu Han found out: Don't look at the early death of Yuan Cong, it seems that the people of Yuan Cong and his descendants are only high-ranking officials and do not hold real power. People have a background. It's really annoying, it's a big deal to get a white knife in and a red knife out! I haven't heard that Empress Zhang slapped the table on His Majesty the Emperor.
In the end, Shang Shutai issued two orders:
1. Due to economic and social development, Fuling County has gotten rid of the situation of ranking among the top five counties in terms of GDP in Dahan. Therefore, Fuling County will no longer be a lower county but an upper county in the future. The salary of the county guard of Fuling County has been increased from 800 stone to 2,000 stone, and the salary of subordinate members at all levels is paid with reference to the salary of civil servants at the same level in the upper county. (Attached: The new salaries of civil servants in Fuling County continue to be borne by Fuling County itself.) ๏ผ
Second, due to the rapid growth of Fuling County's GDP. In order to support the just cause of the Han Dynasty to unify the whole country. Therefore, from the second year of Jingyao, the money and grain handed over to the treasury by Fuling County are no longer calculated according to the population and cultivated land in the Fuling County Register. In the future, Fuling County and Badong County will bear all the expenses of the Yongan Army. The money and grain of Ba County, Pasir County, and Danqu County were later transferred to CD and Hanzhong......
When Guan Yi received this order, he said very gently: MLGB.
