On the first day of February, the Ministry of War sent a plan for growing grain in Henan. Zhao Guanjia read this document first, and when he saw only half of it, he closed it and said to the deputy chief of staff who sent the document: "You go back first." I've got news for you. ”

The deputy chief of staff did not dare to disobey the order and obediently got up and left. Seeing his back disappear outside the door, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "Convene an emergency meeting of the society." ”

The staff at the headquarters of the society all have their own jobs, and they all arrive after work in the afternoon. Zhao Guan's family didn't care so much, so they directly handed the plan brought up by the Ministry of War to everyone and let them circulate it briefly.

There are also members of the society in the military department, and Chen Zaixing, as the general representative of the society in the army, has no expression on his face, and he feels very faceless in his heart. Although everyone knew that Zhao Guanjia was not satisfied with the plan brought by the Ministry of War, more than half of them felt that they didn't understand what was going on after reading it. In addition, the members of the academy of the military department are also here, and the matter does not involve the interests of other departments, so everyone is silent.

It's the nature of the bureaucracy to hang on high and not to do anything. Just like many people write all kinds of 'slanderous books' directly to Zhao Guan's family, slanderous books are reports and denunciations, and when faced with entanglements of interests, these people can also show a tenacious fighting spirit.

Regarding this style, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "Speak one by one, and evaluate all of this." After speaking, Zhao Jiaren looked at the clerk and saw that the clerk had already laid out the pen and paper and prepared shorthand.

In China, there is a system of records called "Notes on Living", which records the itinerary of the emperor and the words and deeds of the ministers. Legend has it that the earliest living note is the "Forbidden Living Note" during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty. Subsequently, during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there was also the "Ming Emperor's Living Note", but most of these living notes were compiled by the Chinese court itself, and there was no full-time and special person to be responsible for compilation.

The Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties mostly used the book Lang to revise the "Living Note", and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to set up the "Living Order History", and there were also "Repair Living Note", "Prison Living Note" and other officials, who served the emperor and recorded the emperor's words and deeds. The Sui Dynasty set up "living houses" in the Inner History Province (i.e., Zhongshu Province). The Tang and Song dynasties also set up "living rooms" in Menxia Province, and "living houses" to record the emperor's words and deeds.

Zhao Guanjia was not very familiar with this originally, and he only established an archive system of the minutes of the Navigation Guild. When he knew about it, he had established a comprehensive system of minutes, and all formal meetings had to be recorded.

Seeing that the clerk was ready, Zhao Jiaren pointed at Chen Zaixing, "You can talk about the affairs of the military department first." ”

Chen Zaixing had herds of alpacas running over in his heart, and Zhao Guan's family was too faceless. After thinking about it in his heart, Chen Zaixing felt that there were as many negative evaluations as there were, and he was not one worse, so he decided to focus on positive evaluations first. With the decision, Chen Zaixing said: "The plan for each unit in this report is very reasonable, and the numbers are very in place. Personally, I feel that the preparation is quite serious. I'm done. ”

Zhao Jiaren leaned back comfortably in his chair and listened to the speech with no expression on his face. After Chen Zaixing's speech ended, he waited for a moment, and then asked, "Finished?" ”

"Yes." Chen Zaixing replied.

Turning his head, Zhao Jiaren asked Liu Meng, the secretary of the ministry, "It's time for you to speak." ”

Liu Meng replied, "I...... I've only helped with farm work in my life, and I've never farmed. I don't know how to farm, so naturally I can't see the good or bad in this report. ”

Zhao Jiaren felt a burst of regret in his heart after hearing this, of course it is very good to be so realistic. However, in terms of effect, it would be nice to ask Liu Meng the last one. This guy's reaction can be said to give the others a good opportunity to be lazy, and the gang can respond in this way.

The statement of the staff of the society after that made Zhao Jiaren feel that he was still too worried. Of the dozen or so people who attended the meeting, only three imitated Liu Meng's statement. The rest of the people have expressed their own unique opinions, including those who support it and those who oppose it.

After they finished speaking, Zhao Jiaren asked, "Do you think I must make a good or bad evaluation of this plan?" ”

Most of the attendees had a look on their face, 'You know you're going to talk nonsense.'" Zhao Guanjia could only continue: "I don't want to evaluate the good or bad, I just want to say that there are fundamental problems in the implementation of this plan." As for what the problem is, I don't have much to say right now. The newly renovated Hangzhou City is so much larger, it is not short of a few vegetable fields. This year, all officials, including me, and all cadres will take part in large-scale production activities. We also have to arrange for everyone to go to the fields to help the farmers do some farm work when the farm is busy. In addition, for large-scale planting, as well as various small-scale planting, it is necessary to visit and learn. ”

After listening to Zhao Guanjia's words, all the guys in high positions changed their faces. Just when they were thinking about how to deal with it and find a way to stop Zhao Guanjia's whimsy, they heard Zhao Guanjia add, "This has to be turned into a system." ”

At this time, under the reproachful eyes of everyone, Chen Zaixing spoke, "Official, what did our military department do wrong?" If you have any ideas, don't you just say it? ”

"As I said, it's not a matter of right or wrong. This is because the comrades of the military department do not understand agriculture, and they do not feel that they do not understand agriculture, so they command blindly. As for the other comrades, either they don't understand agriculture or they are embarrassed to talk about it. So I don't want to distinguish between them, let's start with ourselves without discrimination. Don't think I'm tossing you, I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart. On the National Day in May, I will make a general discussion on the future direction of the Great Song Dynasty, the core of which is that the Great Song Dynasty should move forward and continue to move forward. What is needed for such a Great Song Dynasty is a contingent of officials and cadres with correct knowledge, correct understanding, and correct insight......"

After twenty minutes, the congregation adjourned. Chen Zaixing, who was walking in the yard, was full of ideas, and before he could completely sort out a line of thought, he heard someone next to him say: "Old Chen, you can do this." With the help of the military department, we all have fresh vegetables to eat this year! ”

This is quite witty, and many people can't help but laugh out loud. Chen Zaixing knew that he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone, and with such psychological preparation, he didn't care if he was ridiculed. He originally really thought that the Zhao Guanjia was angry with the military department and wanted to do something. After listening to Zhao Guanjia's words, whether others believe it or not, Chen Zaixing himself believes it.

According to the meaning of the Zhao official family, the officials of the original Great Song Dynasty court lacked actual production capacity, and the cadres reused by the Zhao official family were not ambiguous in these aspects. Zhao's family did not allow the officials to continue like this, and they should adopt training methods to improve the level of officials. If this line of thinking is followed, it is not a big deal for the military department to make a fool of itself this time. The question is just to get to the end quickly, and don't let this matter continue to hang here and not end there.

Thinking of this, Chen Zaixing grabbed Sun Qing, the new head of the household department, "Sun Shangshu, recommend a few of your cadres from the Food Department to me." ”

Sun Qing instinctively wanted to excuse himself, but after thinking about it, he replied, "Okay." Tomorrow. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, two cadres from the Food Department appeared in front of Chen Zaixing. As soon as he saw these two, Chen Zaixing felt that they were more reliable. Compared with those fair-skinned and smooth-skinned officials who have been in the house for a long time, these two are similar to the guys in the Maritime Administration who have been exposed to the wind and sun all day long, they are both dark-skinned, and they have experienced wind and rain when they look at them.

sat down and talked, and Chen Zaixing applauded greatly in his heart. These two don't talk about how to farm, but how to choose the land that can be cultivated back then. From the point of view of the causal logic of materialism, there must be land suitable for cultivation in that year before cultivation can be started. After listening to this part of the story, Chen Zaixing already understood why Zhao Guanjia was reluctant to read it after only reading the beginning of the Juntun plan.

After this part was finished, Chen Zaixing asked tentatively: "You two, I understand a little bit about what you said about planting the land in patches. What I don't understand now is that growing vegetables doesn't have this problem? ”

"If a person has a piece of land, he probably won't be able to eat all the vegetables he grows. I heard that the officers and soldiers want to grow vegetables, that is, there are 100,000 officers and soldiers, and 10,000 acres of land is enough. Henan is so big, our officers and soldiers are now young men, and they can open 10,000 acres of vegetable fields next to the barracks. If you want to grow grain, you have to have millions of acres of grain fields, and the difference between this is a hundredfold. ”

"I see." Chen Zaixing wanted to believe it, but what the two cadres of the Food Department said was completely different from Chen Zaixing's understanding of agriculture. Speaking of this, Chen Zaixing didn't dare to really believe it completely.

While listening to the two cadres, a guard sent a document. Chen Zaixing opened it and saw that it was a war plan against Sriwijaya. Compared to the ongoing war plan against the Great Yuan, the elimination of Sriwijaya is only an unimportant war. From the perspective of simple cost, it seems to be cheaper than the input of Henan's large-scale production.

The two officials from the Department of Agriculture said that more than 30,000 head of cattle would need to be invested in the reclamation of land in Henan. In order to take care of the cattle, there must be supporting measures such as cattle farms. The cattle of the Great Song Dynasty are not cheap, and driving the cattle to Henan also requires a very large investment of manpower and material resources.

Compared to these complex contents, the war plan with Sriwijaya is simple and clear. This is the result of years of preparation by the Maritime Administration, which has undergone a fairly long revision and a very complete plan.

1. Find out the guys within Sriwijaya who are dissatisfied with the upper echelons of Sriwijaya.

2. Reach a consensus with them on the future of Srivijaya.

3. Completely destroy the armed forces of Sriwijaya in the strait.

4. Occupy several port cities, including Songmen Island (Singapore), so that the Great Song fleet has a port system in the strait.

5. Make new preparations for the complete elimination of Sriwijaya in the future.

……

If the guy who made the plan could come up with such a military reclamation plan, he probably wouldn't be criticized by the officials. Chen Zaixing thought as he signed.

Handing over the documents to the guards to send them out, Chen Zaixing said to the two cadres of the Department of Agriculture: "Please continue to speak." ”
