"In recent years, there have been constant wars, especially in Gyeonggi Province, Henan Province, and Togi Province, and there are many people who have abandoned the land because of the war, and the people of the capital still need help from the imperial court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "At the court meeting, Fan Li was introducing the current economic situation to Li You and the ministers.

"However, since Your Majesty re-determined the acres of land and cleared the hidden fields and hidden households, the number of registered acres of land and Dingkou in my Jia Dynasty has far exceeded that of the previous dynasty, and the increased Ding tax and land tax are enough to restore the vitality of these places, even if the food is temporarily in short supply, it can be purchased from overseas through the maritime merchants of Jiangnan East Province and Lingnan Province to solve the urgent need." After talking about the problem, it is time to talk about the result of the solution, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, these three realms have gradually recovered, the displaced people have returned to their homes to re-cultivate, and the surplus young and strong have also entered the workshops and merchants to seek a way to survive, and now my Jia Dynasty is far from the scene of the previous dynasty. ”

"Nowadays, I have at least established a new primary school in each county, and each state capital has an intermediate school, and each province has a university hall, although it is limited by the lack of teachers and the shortage of funds and other problems that have not been fully functional, but with the help of a steady stream of school fields provided by the Gongguan Temple, and more and more graduates of Jiazhou University Hall, it is only a matter of time before these schools are replenished with enough teachers and a complete school building is built." Jiang Suiyun, who went from Lingnan Road to Jiangnan East Road, and finally transferred to the capital to take up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also reporting on his work.

Of course, the problem of teachers and education funding is not so easy to solve, Jiazhou University Hall and Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Huainan Road, Lingnan Province and other places have a limited number of students graduating every year, and as soon as they graduate, they are robbed by the various yamen of the imperial court, even if they go to teach, they often go to those newly established university halls, as for the teachers of intermediate schools and primary schools to replenish Qi Shang and it takes a long time.

Li You also thought of a lot of ways to do this, such as setting up special teacher training courses in various places, absorbing those old literati who had read some books but could not be admitted to the imperial examination, and let them teach those primary and secondary school students some basic knowledge; Although it is a short-term training, the audit of these people is still very strict, and they must not be allowed to poison these young people with their own inherent thinking, so the imperial court also issued a strict order that they only need to teach according to the syllabus issued by the imperial court, and it is strictly forbidden to instill in children according to their own ideas that they should not have, which is not a perfect policy in the long run, but in the current situation, it can only be so, and I hope that this strategy will be changed when the Jia Dynasty has cultivated enough talents in the next few decades.

"The Ministry of Industry has made great progress in the research and construction of new weapons, agricultural tools, and machines, and the muskets produced during this period can be used by 30,000 troops, and all kinds of new agricultural tools have been shipped to Gyeonggi Province, Togi Province, Henan Province, and the southern part of Hadong Province." Although Gu Jiangzi is now old, his long-cherished wish for many years has finally been realized, which makes him full of energy, and he is busy in the workshop every day.

Now because there is no one to replace Gu Jiangzi, the Ministry of Industry is still grasping the development and manufacturing of ordnance, but with the increasing maturity of Ling Zhen, this piece will be divided sooner or later, I hope that Gu Jiangzi can be a little easier at that time.

"The newly admitted scholars have completed their training and gone to various places to take up their posts, although the means of handling affairs of these people are still a little immature, but compared to those scholars who only know the meaning of poetry and books in the previous dynasty, they don't know where it is better, and in time these people will definitely become the pillars of my Jia Dynasty." The official Shangshu Wang Ji then spoke, "It's just that there is still a big talent vacancy in the imperial court, and I ask Your Majesty to open Enke again this year to recruit talents." ”

"Well, each yamen should report their own employment needs, and then draw up a recruitment plan based on these!" Li You successfully passed Wang Ji's request, "In addition, now that the country is newly established, many things are still being explored, so it is not good to rush to promote, and when the time is ripe in the future, the authority to admit officials can be separated, and the talents required by the center will be admitted by the imperial court, and the talents needed by various places will be admitted by the local examination, so that it can also reduce the suffering of some candidates and save a sum of money and food for the imperial court; Of course, the officers preparing for these examinations should be transferred from other places to avoid fraud. ”

Li You is planning to change the imperial examination into a civil service examination for later generations, but this is also something that requires decades of accumulation to be implemented, and now the original county examination and government examination can only be temporarily changed to primary and secondary school examinations, and those who pass the primary school graduation examination can enter secondary school, and after the secondary school examination, they will be eligible to participate in the imperial examination, of course, when the number of university halls is large enough in the future, this standard will also be raised.

In order to prevent too many talented students from giving up entering the university hall because of the imperial examination, the Ministry of Officials also formulated corresponding regulations, stipulating that if they want to become a high-ranking official above the sixth rank, they must have the same academic qualifications as the university hall, and they can participate in the imperial examination after graduating from the university hall, or they can continue their studies after becoming officials.

"Last year, the city department collected a total of 12,376,051 taels of silver from the sea trade, and it is expected to double this year." Wang Wufeng, the chief official of the city's shipping department, reported with a red face, this department that had just been established had become one of the hottest yamen in the court, and he was now deeply happy about his choice to return to Li You.

"The responsibility of the municipal department is not only to collect taxes, but also to regulate the import and export of goods through policy changes, such as the recent tax exemption incentives for those merchants who import grain, heavy taxes on jewelry and other items, and severe crackdowns on merchants who dare to sell grain and ordnance overseas." Li You emphasized this point again.

In fact, the business of ordnance is not impossible to do, but it needs to be led by the state, and the export of ordnance is used to disrupt the surrounding situation, so that the Jia Dynasty can profit from it, which is very important to the overall situation, and it is by no means something that ordinary businessmen can grasp.

Then the rest of the yamen also came out to summarize their work last year, and after everyone had finished reporting, Li You got up and said, "Last year, all Aiqing worked hard, come, and move to Taiji Palace with me, and drink wine to celebrate the New Year." ”
