Chapter 106 Planning

The next day was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Xiangyi Zhixian beat the gong and drum to send a Wanmin umbrella to the prince, followed by a large group of people, Zhao Ta took over the matter of raising horses, saved him, and also saved the people of the county, he completed the task of the superiors, the people escaped a catastrophe, all happy. After taking the umbrella, the magistrate of Xiangyi signed a contract with the prince in front of everyone, demarcated the land on the map, and then sent a messenger to demarcate the boundary with the steward of the house, and hurriedly completed the task at the end of the year.

Zhao Ta pondered for a while before he understood why Xiangyi County was so enthusiastic, everyone knew that raising horses was not a good thing, and if it was not good, something would happen, and he was afraid that he would regret it, and he couldn't afford to provoke himself, so he had to think of this method to force himself to comply, but he didn't expect it to fulfill him. Zhao Ta took the time to go to his horse farm, which was more than thirty miles away from the palace, it was a huge wasteland, there was a continuous mound, another sparse woods, and a winding river, but there was no human habit, the overflowing Ju River a few years ago turned this place into a swamp, and the water receded into a barren grass, the home of wild beasts.

"We build a row of stables here, build a fence there, build a dozen houses, and the vacant land in the west is used as a warehouse to store forage, where alfalfa and oats can be planted as fodder" Zhao Tazong immediately went up a high slope, and couldn't wait to plan the layout, arranging the use of each piece of land, a full 800 hectares of land, that is, 80,000 acres of land, which can not only become a horse farm, but also a playground for his military training, he is so satisfied

The new year is coming soon, and the Chinese New Year's Eve of the royal mansion is as usual a big feast, entertaining the old and young stewards in the palace, listening to the drama, staying up late, setting off fireworks, and everyone gathers together to send off the day after the worst. Zhao Ta looked at the happy crowd, although there were some new faces, but most of them were the old people in the house, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable crisis.

Now the chief steward of the house is Zheng Lu, but he has to take charge of the fireworks workshop and the weaving workshop in the house; Zheng Shou manages the eating, drinking, and sleeping in the house, and also worries about the big and small things in the Zhuangzi; Zheng Fu is the shopkeeper of the workshop, but he is only responsible for delivering raw materials in the small workshop where the gun is made, and he can't take care of other things at all. Relatively independent, there is only a joint venture winery, which is managed by his uncle, but he doesn't spend much time here now, and Guogong has handed over all the business in Guogong's mansion to him, and he can't take care of it here for a while; The stewards of the offices in the house are also in charge of the finances and logistics of each workshop. Buying these chores; The restaurants in the capital and the didian taverns scattered all over the place, the caravans of the merchants are nominally under the command of the governor of the prefecture, but in fact they are all responsible for themselves...

"It's too messy" Zhao Ta thought that this was the result of the rapid expansion of the government in the past two years, resulting in the current managers in the government are 'not doing business', all going to industry, and now several big stewards are busy in and out of the house, and they are anxious, but the power they have is also unprecedented, often one person has multiple positions, a bit of a government and enterprise are not separated. At this time, most of the businesses have just begun, relying on the exclusive and former technology to earn high profits support, at this time the small 'running and dripping' is not obvious, some contradictions are also covered up by the good situation, but in the long run, there will inevitably be a crisis, and then the rectification will have to pay a considerable price.

During the two times when he went out to train recruits, Huang Jingchen, the general manager, was in charge of everything in the house, but he was a person who was intrigued and playful, and he was not good at doing various businesses, that is, he was barely staring at it, relying on his own prestige to maintain, this situation was okay for a while, but it couldn't last long. It's okay when I'm here, and the current problem can be solved in time, but my main energy in the future will be turned to the construction of the army, and it is impossible to keep an eye on them in the house every day, and once I leave for a long time, there will be chaos. It can be said that on the surface, there is a singing and dancing on the surface, but there is already a crisis underneath. The more Zhao Ta thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, now he must be reformed, otherwise he will return to Beijing one day, and there will be no big chaos here, ruining the foundation he has worked so hard to build.

A Spring Festival, Zhao Ta in addition to the necessary entertainment, put his energy on the reorganization of the palace, he plans to make the palace industry independent, the establishment of two companies, according to the modern company system, by the palace to send a special person to manage, but at this time must not be called a company can only be called a firm, a subordinate government in the workshop, winery, weaving, fireworks, feed mill several industries; Another company is responsible for the leasing of land in the various villages in the prefecture, the collection of rented grain, the purchase and sale of agricultural products, and the cultivation of vegetables in greenhouses. Of course, they still have to accept the supervision of the palace, and the right to appoint personnel is also in the hands of the palace, that is, in the hands of Zhao Ta, which he doesn't want to do, and he can't do, because he is the chairman. ,

After the fifth day of the first month, Zhao Ta began to adjust the personnel, the two companies were named Shengyitang and Shengdetang, Zheng Fu and Zheng Shou in the past few years diligently, but also regarded as a high reputation as the big shopkeeper of the two firms, the management of each workshop was nominated by them, Zhao Ta was appointed after the review and approval, and the next team leader was responsible for arranging the election by themselves; The palace was reduced from three stewards to one steward, and Zheng Lu was still in charge, managing the various secretaries in the palace; The Inner Mansion was taken over by Jianxi, who was responsible for the work of the Inner Palace, and the chief administrator Huang Jingchen was still in charge of the management of the whole government, but his main focus was on the capital and the palace, coordinating and listening to the news of all parties, and the hotel, caravan and Didian were all under his name, but in fact the intelligence director Shunzi was in charge.

The military workshops and glass workshops in the workshop, the restaurants scattered in various places, and the disgraceful enterprises are all managed by the inner government, and there are not many people who know this, and the three caravans have always been operated independently, so it is logical to draw them out; Because the racecourse was newly built, it was temporarily managed by the government, and their income and funds were allocated by the government.

After the personnel adjustment was completed, Zhao Ta held a meeting with everyone in Beijing in a timely manner to study a set of management systems that are in line with reality, and launched a series of post responsibility systems, salary management systems, and reward and punishment systems after the year, so that everyone from top to bottom understands what they should do, how to do it, and how to deal with sudden incidents, and do not ask for instructions on everything, so that even if they are not there, they will not become a mess. Many of his tosses have not had a good year, of course, there are also people who have different opinions on the adjustment and find out all kinds of inappropriateness, but Zhao Ta was unmoved, implemented it strongly, and resolutely replaced the ineffective personnel. After rectification, the palace has a new look, many people have left the palace and joined various trading houses, and some people have been arranged to become 'white-collar workers' in the palace.

Next, Zhao Ta did another 'good deed', he donated money to establish a righteous school, which specially recruited poor children from his Zhuangzi to study. In fact, the education system of the Song Dynasty has undergone three major changes, and has formed a perfect system composed of central government schools and local government schools, and has opened various specialized schools for martial arts, law, medicine, arithmetic, and painting, which teach various specialized knowledge and skills. When Chongning was revitalizing, Cai Jing extended the implementation of the three-way method to local government schools, making it a teaching management system that permeated all government schools. The state issued school fields as fixed funds for local schools, and set up martial arts and medicine in the local areas.

In the Song Dynasty, although the state and county schools and institutes were prosperous, there were also primary schools or social studies in the official school system to carry out enlightenment education for children, but there were times when the good scriptures were read crookedly, and the government primary schools were in ruins, and the people who could enter the state and county schools and institutes to study were only a small number after all, and in fact, the educational organizations that undertook the education of children were privately established schools.

Zhao Ta wanted to run his own school out of helplessness, he once wanted to select some talents from his cronies and send them to the official school to study, so that they could not only receive formal education, but he could save a lot of trouble, but as soon as he understood the matter, it was not so simple.

If a student of government school is admitted to a certain level of qualification and formalities, a scholar who joins the law shall be an official and a person who will be appointed as a person, and the person who will be appointed must be appointed by two officials; Martial arts, all envoys, disciples, and common people, who have Beijing officials to protect their positions, and qualified talents and horses, can be enrolled; The admission qualifications of students and apprentices are divided into two types: officials and scholars, and students are also divided into scholars and miscellaneous streams, and fasting education. Zongxue Gongxue is a noble school for the descendants of the clan, and outsiders have no play. As a special school, the Simenxue and Guangwenguan are preparatory schools set up for scholars to prepare for the imperial examination, and the Simenxue recruits the children of the Eight Grades to the Shuren as students. These schools not only set these high thresholds, but the number of places is even more limited, and the martial arts that Zhao Ta wants to enter the most, only recruits 100 people per period, and only recruits once every three years, and it is not easy for him to stuff himself in.

Now the palace is preparing to build a school, the source of students and teachers are not a big problem, the population of several Zhuangzi is nearly 10,000, of which there are not a few teenagers of school age, and the recruitment of teachers for the family hall, the school hall and the apprenticeship of the self-set school hall is an important way for the poor scholars in the Song Dynasty to obtain living expenses and review the application, and it is also a frequent activity of the officials who are demoted or bereavement, he only needs to select the best from them, anyway, he does not expect the students to go to the top exam.

Zhao Ta's top priority at the moment is to establish a new type of army with firearms as the mainstay, and then it is necessary not only to have a group of knowledgeable officers, but also to have various professional personnel such as military logistics, medical and health care, etc. He plans to adopt the method of a junior military academy, and while they are learning culture and various professional knowledge, they will also begin to receive basic military training, so that after two or three years, he will be able to obtain a number of grassroots officers and professional personnel and become the backbone of the new army.
