The five-year plan drawn up by the clerk is completely the embodiment of Li Mao's will, and Li Mao has not only read it in advance, but also revised it word by word

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to Qiushu

Qin Mo coughed: "Let me say a few words first, it can be regarded as a brick-throwing, saying two nonsense words that don't know the height of the sky, attracting you and others to smash the bricks in the face." ”

Qin Mo's humor from later generations caused everyone to laugh easily. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and they have been with Li Mao for a long time, and they can also understand some humor that does not belong to this era.

"Within five years, it is planned to set up five prefectures and 25 counties, with more than 100,000 households and more than 20,000 military training. I don't have a problem with the number of trained soldiers, now we have 10,000 soldiers, but you clearly said later that this is a field army, and the field army is a standing army, which can be pulled out to fight at any time, and such soldiers can not do anything, they can only be raised with porridge and food, and it costs five times a year to raise a militia, 15 times a state army, 25 to 30 times a year to raise a field army, and 20,000 people, at least 500,000 yuan, and our financial income last year was only 30,000 yuan, the two offset each other, only enough for food and clothing. In five years, who can guarantee that our income will reach 500,000 and even if it does, it will be eaten by the army, and what will others eat?"

Qin Moti's question is very sharp, and it is also the concern and confusion of everyone, Donggao Town is now all soldiers, just over 10,000, if according to the standard of the field army, then 90 out of 10,000 people will be removed, and 500 people can barely meet the standard of the field army that Li Mao said, and the strength of the army will be expanded by 20 times within five years, not to mention whether the supply of troops can be sufficient, military spending is a big problem.

"It is difficult to achieve this by relying on the traditional two taxes, commercial taxes and commercial income, but there are two points to be understood, first, we are about to open a salt and iron field, and will monopolize the salt and iron trade in Liaodong, Sang Rong said that we are four or six open, he is six and I four, according to this ratio, one year later, this income will reach 100,000 guan, double in two years, 200,000 guan in the future, when we monopolize the market in northern Liaoning, and then bargain with him, and turn this ratio into my six and he four, so that it can be doubled again, reaching 400,000 guan With the increase in the population of Liaodong, This proportion will continue to grow to 600,000 and remain stable for a considerable period of time. This is one of them. Second, we will issue salt and iron coupons based on salt and iron, which is similar to the flying money issued by the town to the business travelers, but it is more complicated than the flying money, and it is more affordable, which we have been piloting, and it will be fully launched next year, and there will be income in the year after tomorrow, and this income will be very huge, more than the income of salt and iron. This is the second one.

"Thirdly, this year we have lost all our previous savings, and the pots and jars have been shattered, but this winter we are not having a hard time, why, because we have robbed a lot of things by force. Being a robber is the highest level of business, and there is no profit. Our territory is not big enough, the space for robbery is still very large, after robbing the small village and small village, we will go to rob the big city and big fort, the small fish and shrimp are eaten and the two big whales of Silla and the Bohai Sea, these two countries seem to be strong, but in fact they are already very weak, take advantage of the weakness to bite a few bites, I believe they will not have any opinions. Five years later, we became a fat man, there was nothing to eat, and at that time, the twenty-five counties in the five states also grew up, and we sat on the land to collect rent, collect taxes, monopolize the salt and iron trade, eat the tributes of Silla and the Bohai Sea, and then try to cheat some military salaries from the Chang'an court, and raise 20,000 people is still a problem, I don't think so. ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, everyone pretended to laugh easily, finance is the foundation, this problem is not solved, the so-called ideas are all utopian. Li Mao's solution looks very realistic, but it is actually very mysterious, and everyone sweats for him.

"There is a rule here, within five years all children of six to eight years of school age must enter the primary school for five years of education, the best of them will enter the secondary school, and then continue the education for another three years, and the selection of the excellent will enter the higher school, the proportion of enrollment in the primary school is all, and the secondary school is 40%. It is understandable to establish a higher education hall, after all, it is up to people to succeed, and we will employ a large number of people in the future, but the enrollment ratio of primary and secondary schools is so high, is it really necessary for the people to be literate and reasonable, and it will not be easy to fool in the future. ”

Zheng Xiaozhang's words provoked a kind smile, which they wanted to say but did not dare to say.

Li Mao took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, and said: "It is difficult for a foolish country to become a big weapon, and treating people as treasures is the foundation of prosperity, and the enrollment ratio of our middle school is not high, but low, because we have no money now, and when we have money, we will immediately popularize secondary education." In addition to Zhu Jiu, all of you here, there are no need for me to say more, you can also understand that if you know one more word, the road of life will be a little wider. ”

Zhu Jiu protested: "I am also literate. ”

Li Mao asked: "How many words do you know?"

Zhu Jiudao: "It's a lot, hundreds of words." ”

Li Mao said: "What are the benefits after literacy?"

Zhu Jiu touched his freshly shaved bald head and smiled embarrassedly: "Since I became literate, my mother-in-law has become soft-spoken when she talks to me. ”

Everyone asked why, and Zhu Jiu said: "She is afraid that I will write poems and scold her." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and Zhu Jiu hummed dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny about this, the article is eternal, if I write it into the poem, it will be infamous through the ages." ”

Everyone laughed and spared Zhu Jiu.

Everyone has their own ideas about Li Mao's compulsory implementation of universal education, but there is one point of view that coincides: Studying is for the sake of being officials, and everyone in Liaodong reads, and there will obviously not be so many officials for them to do in the future

Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, Li Mao is really far-sighted and has a unique vision.

"According to your plan, all power in Liaodong is vested in the economic and strategic envoys, and there are four departments and eight general managers of military and political affairs, economic and social affairs, supervision, and special services to assist, and the military and political affairs need to be self-explanatory, everyone knows what they do, and the Ministry of Economic and Social Affairs explains that it is in charge of economic and social affairs, and the Security Bureau, the Pavilion and Post Bureau, and the Tax Inspection Bureau in the Ministry of Military Affairs are also in charge of civil affairs.

Towards the end of this meeting, Qin Mo found a flaw in the plan and asked Li Mao on a piece of paper.

The Ministry of Military Affairs mainly focuses on governance, such as fighting crime and maintaining law and order, which is supervised by the Ministry's Security Bureau, and tax evasion is supervised by the Ministry's Tax Inspection Bureau, while all service-oriented institutions are planned in the economic and social system, such as the Medical Bureau, the Relief Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Agriculture, Forestry, Water and Animal Husbandry Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Promotion Bureau, and so on. To put it simply, the administrative affairs that need to be maintained by force belong to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the general institutions belong to the economic and social system. ”

After the clerk finished speaking, Zhu Jiu asked: "With so many new bureaus, what will happen to the black yarn hat in the future, Datang does not have the director of the Medical Bureau, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of this black yarn hat." ”

This question is also what most people are concerned about, there are pitfalls in the question, Li Mao decided to answer it himself:

"In the future, officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs will all have the rank of military government, officials of the Ministry of Economic and Social Affairs will have the rank of branch office, officials of the Ministry of Supervision will have the rank of observer, and the secret service system will have an indefinite title. The court officials show their dignity and humility, and the seniority is determined by the shogunate, and the actual rights and responsibilities are formulated by the new officials. ”

These words surprised everyone, the shogunate officials are self-contained, because they are all envoys, they have no rank, but there are superior and inferior classes, Li Mao did this to put the Liaodong officialdom ** outside the Tang Dynasty bureaucracy, if Li Mao is still implicit in the education issue, it is already very explicit in terms of official reform, if he does not want to dominate the world, then at least he has to divide one side, after all, the famous weapons of the imperial court are in the hands of the imperial court, and it is not easy to obtain. And it is entirely up to him to embody the dignity and humility of the shogunate.

The five-year plan drawn up by the clerk has been successfully adopted, the goals and paths have been set, and the importance of personnel arrangements has become prominent. The four departments and eight directors were all appointed by Li Mao and were directly responsible to one of them.

Two chiefs of the military and political system: Kim Do-an and Zheng Hyo-zhang.

The two directors of the economic and social system: clerk Cheng and Zhao Guangliang.

The two directors of the supervision system: Xie Biao and Su Pimao.

The spy system is headed by Chang Mucang and Qin Mo.

Li Mao is outside the four major systems, and a special system has been formed around him, in a sense, this system is the core of power, but it is often ignored because of the low status of the chief figures, and unlike the other four major systems, there is more than one leader of this system: Hu Nanxiang, Zeng Zhen, Mao Dayou, Cai Youcai, and Wu Shikong, Ma Xiongan, Wei Guanhai, Wei Xiangcheng, etc.

In addition, there is also a ** outside the system, claiming to be only responsible for the law and conscience of the ** department Lin Yun, Lin Yun is also modest, observing the officials of the two governments, ** exercising judicial power.
