Not to mention this primitive football, the indicators are really similar to the football of later generations. The cow's bladder is very strong, full of air and cannot be broken by an adult, and the elasticity of the leather is very good.

After the new army ranks and ordnance training, football training is held every day, and there is a game every other day. In the past, there were several pitches in the north of the city, and each team was able to train in their spare time. It is also necessary to train carefully, because winning or losing is related to the level of the military, and the results of the football league will eventually become one of the rating criteria.

After the new army left Mawei City and went north, most of the forbidden troops who came to change the defense were not keen on this kind of game, and only a few new troops and the youth group of the laboratory could still play, and the football fields outside the city were abandoned.

Jiang Dalang was also used to playing football, so he simply moved the court to the city, and usually used it as a school field.

Hong Tao's 100-person banquet is arranged on the football field, the dishes, or shabu-shabu, this thing is the simplest, and there is no need to find any copper pots, the four of them surround a table made of tree stumps, and take the steel helmets of the new army.

The purpose of this meal is not primarily to eat, but to communicate. Hong Tao needs to elect seven representatives from these more than 180 households, and they will become the spokesmen of the pioneers of Mawei City and participate in the civil affairs work of Mawei City. But there is no law enforcement, only the right to vote.

When it comes to the residents of Mawei City, seven people vote to settle it, and only when they get more than two-thirds of the votes will they win. Jiang Dalang does not have the right to vote, but he has the power to enforce the law and has a veto power.

These delegates are not appointed by anyone, but are elected by the people themselves. Merchants choose merchants, and pioneers choose pioneers. The term of office is only one year, and re-election begins in December each year.

Someone said that Hong Tao wants to engage in the Western system again. In fact, there is also a congress for centralized power, but after the power is too centralized, there is no restraint, and the participation of deputies in politics and discussion has become an ornament.

Hong Tao felt that with China's traditional culture, it was not suitable to immediately implement the multi-party system, and it was better to first get out of the system of checks and balances of power and cultivate the habit of the common people to participate in and discuss state affairs. Don't talk about what it is, you don't have the intention or ability to resist at all, and then look at the effect and then talk about the system.

If this is very effective, why bother to change the whole system, what suits others is not necessarily with yourself. Whether it is suitable or not can not be determined, and the most reliable way is to do experiments.

Let's take Ganliang Road and Huangzhou as a test first, no matter what the test results are, it is a very detailed basis. Mawei City is only the first step, the entire territory of Huangzhou will be under military control, and 11 deputies will be elected to be responsible for the formulation and change of the new rules.

Except for the superintendent, mine superintendent, tax superintendent, and inspection department, all other departments of the state government have been abolished, and the relevant cultural and historical records have been handed over to the superintendent of school, and the household registration management has been merged into the scope of tax supervision.

On Monday, he was appointed as the governor of Huangzhou, and he could officially take office after the approval of the imperial court.

Liu Song succeeded Xi Luosa as the training envoy of the Huangzhou regiment, and his main work was to reclaim and repair the fort. There is also a deputy regimental training envoy under him, who is served by Wang Jiu, who is responsible for training the box service to become a reserve of the new army.

Wang 12 became the inspection envoy of Huangzhou, which was equivalent to the director of the public security bureau in later generations. However, he has a lot of power as the director, and he also takes into account the criminal and prison litigation functions of the former state government. The recruits trained by Wang Jiu would take turns to serve in the inspection department, acting as security police and militia.

After such a toss, the old officialdom in Huangzhou was basically abolished, the officials appointed by the imperial court who should be transferred should be abandoned, and the public servants and minor officials were all laid off.

Whether or not they can return to their posts depends on whether the new officials need someone to help them handle official business, and more importantly, whether the 11 deputies can approve the budget of the state government for the next year submitted by the governor on Monday. If you have a large budget, you can hire more public officials, and if you have a small budget, you can only use one person for three people.

Budget, that's right, Hong Tao wants to change the way the ancients spent money before, from buying what they needed to what they planned to buy. When you start a business, you can do whatever you want without calculation, and you can't be so rude when you keep your business.

It cannot be said that there is no additional expenditure, but there must be a range of approximate expenditures for the next year, so that the flow of money and food can be better allocated and unnecessary waste can be avoided.

Not only Huangzhou must have a government budget, but also Liangzhou and Ganzhou will have it in the future, and the entire Ganliang Road will have it. Who is in charge of this? Hong Tao found two female accountants who were both capable, enthusiastic and particularly loyal.

Mrs. Lian and Ziju must be suitable for this job, the two of them play their little abacus more neatly than the master, and regard every penny as the private property of the concubine, which is called a tight one.

The accounts of the workshop have to be checked every few days, and there is no need to pay dividends at all. Without the pony's autograph, whoever wants to get a proof of expenditure from them is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

In addition to the two misers, Wang Liu and Wang Ba, who were the best in mathematics in the Youth League, also joined in. These two little girls are not good at anything, and their grades in various subjects are barely passed, and they will not please others, but they are particularly sensitive to numbers.

Now Hong Tao no longer dares to discuss with her questions about junior high school algebra and geometry, and he will be asked every minute. However, Wang Liu and Wang Ba did not come to help Lady Lian and Ziju, they shouldered another important task, quietly establishing the monetary system of Huangzhou and Ganliang Road.

In the early years, when Hong Tao was still in Kaifeng, he used to make a kind of check-like thing, which only circulated among merchants who had money and dealings with the Fuma Mansion, instead of heavy copper coins.

This thing is convenient, but after all, it is just a piece of paper, and the credit of the horse Wang Shu has not reached the level recognized by the people of the whole country, so it can only be used in a small area, and cannot be officially circulated on a large scale.

Why do you want to get your own currency in Huangzhou and Ganliang Road? Hong Tao was not preparing for a rebellion, but a necessary means to develop the local economy.

Huangzhou and Ganliang Road did not particularly need money before, there was too little commodity exchange, and self-sufficiency and barter could fully meet daily life. Bulk food and armament purchases were also transferred within the Uginbank, which could be settled by checking the horses.

But once this trade route to the Western Regions was opened, merchants would flood in like bloodthirsty sharks, both from Kaifeng, from the south of the Yangtze River and even from the southeastern coastal areas. At that time, it will not be possible to rely only on bartering or checking from the Horse House, and you must take precautions.

So why can't you use the currency of the Northern Song Dynasty? It's not that it can't be used, it's that it's too troublesome. The monetary system of the Northern Song Dynasty was a bit chaotic, in fact, the types of coins in the Northern Song Dynasty were not too chaotic, but the exchange method was too sad. Just one Qian Mo system can make it difficult to kill the first place in the junior high school mathematics high school entrance examination.

The currency of the Song Dynasty was mainly copper coins, silver was not in circulation, but it was used in the settlement of the treasury, and another physical currency was silk.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the amount of copper coins minted is very large, and during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a total of 99 coin-casting furnaces were set up in the country, and each furnace was about 30 people working, and about 3,300 pieces were minted every year. All combined, the copper coins minted in the Tang Dynasty in a year were around 320,000 guan.

During the period of Song Shenzong, there were a total of 26 coinage supervisors in Zhulu, of which there were 17 copper coins, and the copper coins minted every year were about 5 million yuan, which was more than 15 times that of the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to say that Song Shenzong minted too many copper coins, you can't generalize them all, then move forward from Song Shenzong, except for the founding emperor minted not many copper coins, none of the rest is under one million.

Of course, there is a reason why the Tang Dynasty has not yet mastered the technology of bile copper and the amount of copper mining is small. But it also shows from one side that the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed developed, otherwise it would not have used so much currency.

Some people said that there were still private copper coins in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the Northern Song Dynasty did not restrict private coins, I am afraid that the number is larger, and it sinks while holding it on its back.

Why can Hong Tao know so much detail, because he also holds the official position of the Pit Smelting and Coinage Division of Jingzhao Mansion, and he is an official who mints copper coins, and he must not only see these court archives, but also read them.
