As the season progresses into autumn, some large-scale construction affairs in Shannan Province have been suspended one after another, and most of the manpower of the private sector has been reserved for agricultural work to ensure that there is enough manpower available for the next autumn harvest.

The pacification of Jiangling not only meant that the Western Wei Dynasty controlled the two big cities of Jiangling and Xiangyang, but also meant that the Jianghan Plain, the most elite of the entire middle reaches of the Yangtze River, was also completely in the hands of the Taifu.

Before the Hou Jing Rebellion, the development of Yongzhou and Jingzhou in Nanliang was not inferior to Guanzhong, and with the entire Jianghan region being connected, the territory and territorial potential of Daxingtai in Shannan Province were not inferior to those of the Chinese and foreign governments.

Although the disaster of Hou Jing and the subsequent internal strife of the Southern Liang Sect and other wars that lasted for several years also brought huge shocks to this place, Li Tai immediately carried out the redistribution of various resources after taking over this place, especially focusing on the implementation of the people's livelihood decrees such as the cultivation of land and the reclamation of land to ensure people's livelihood and production, which will inevitably have a huge improvement in the people's livelihood situation in the region.

This year's autumn harvest is the time for the preliminary test of the results, so both the Taiwan government and the prefecture and county governments have been paying close attention to this, hoping to obtain a satisfactory result this autumn.

Before the official start of the autumn harvest, the prefectures and counties had sorted out a general result of the household registration situation in the territory. The population of Jingxiang alone, as well as the new prefectures and counties such as Xiangzhou and Yingzhou, has reached more than 300,000 households, and the number of registered households under the control of the original Jingzhou Military Government has reached nearly 600,000 households under the rule of Daxingtai in Shannan Province.

This data is still in the case of Ningzhou in the south and Hefei, Jinxi and other places in Huainan have not yet carried out detailed household registration, and the prefectures and counties that have completed household registration are still due to the lack of administrative strength, or other reasons, there are still a considerable number of non-staff population. If these potential populations were to be combined, it is estimated that at least 200,000 households could be added.

Of course, for the current Taiwan government, it is already good to have so many people on the staff, it must be known that the Taiwan government has only been established for less than a year, and most of its territory is newly expanded, and its own organizational structure has not yet been perfected.

Even the overlord in Guanzhong, in the thirteenth year of the Great Unification, the number of registered households will only reach 700,000.

As for whether there has been an increase in recent years, Li Tai is not very clear, since his accident in Jingzhou, it is difficult to get in touch with the core data of the overlord, even if there is an increase, it is estimated that it will not be too much, after all, in recent years, the overlord has not carried out large-scale government decrees on the population, and if the number of residents grows naturally, there will not be much increase in a short period of time.

This also means that as Li Tai advances his forces to include the entire Jianghan and the southern part of Dongting Lake, even if Yuwentai has a long life, but in terms of the population indicators and the forces that can be mobilized by both sides, the current Taiwan government and the Chinese and foreign governments have the qualifications to fight each other. Even if there is still a slight gap, it can be gradually leveled or even surpassed in the process of confrontation.

As the time enters August, the autumn harvest begins in various places, and all relevant data are summarized to Xiangtai Prefecture in order from south to north. According to the statistics of Xiangyang, it can be roughly estimated that this year's Guantun, Mintun and private tenant surveys add up, and the income of grain and rice alone has reached a huge amount of 9 million stones!

When this number was counted, the officials of the entire Taiwan government who knew about the matter couldn't help but smile and breathe a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

The income of more than 9 million stone of grain is not considered a net income, because since the beginning of the year, when the government began to allocate land and reward farmers, the cost of grain and rice invested by the Chinese and foreign governments has reached more than 7 million stone.

Although the value of the booty collected from the Gangneung treasury is not low, the problem is that in many cases, it is not always possible to buy food with money, especially when such a large quantity of food needs to meet the needs of millions of people.

Whether the order of the Taiwan government can be stabilized or not depends on the lack of its own hematopoietic ability, and sometimes even if it is just a gap of hundreds of thousands of stones of grain on paper, it is very likely to be a human tragedy of starvation and cannibalism among the people!

The first year of Taiwan's administration has achieved such fruitful results, and there is no need to consume the original savings, and there is still a lot of money

Surplus, which is naturally exciting.

It can also be seen that the fall of the Southern Liang was purely self-made, at least in Jianghan, where the productive forces have been in a very unreasonable state of being controlled, suppressed and abandoned by private individuals. As long as orderly operation can be restored, and there is no need to even carry out high-tech productivity improvement, the vitality of society can be stimulated and released soon!

Of course, the income of more than 9 million stone of grain is not directly stored in the government treasury, and it is still necessary to maintain the administration of the Taiwan government, the rations of the people, and the maintenance of huge army consumption. However, as long as it is not a continuous war and serious disruption of the production order, it can basically be stabilized.

With such gratifying results in people's livelihood and politics, it is only natural that other aspects will follow suit. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taiwan Government Election Institute began to prepare for the examination.

According to the process of selecting people in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the examination held by the selection institute should be called Quanxuan, which usually has four criteria for judging by body, speech, and writing, and after passing the selection, the official position will be officially awarded.

However, now the talent gap in institutions at all levels in Taiwan is very large, and it is difficult to be so bold that you have to be picky about people's appearance.

The selection test is divided into several subjects, calligraphy, mathematics, economic examinations, and the basic qualities of the people selected by the school are examined, and all these items can meet the conditions for conferring officials, starting from the lowest level of marching into the army, and supplementing them to government units at all levels.

Of course, if you think that you are talented and can be qualified for more important positions, then you have to take higher level exams, archers and strategies.

In the past period of time, Li Tai and the members of the Taiwan government have drawn up dozens of policy test questions, most of which are related to current affairs. Some of them are government decrees that the Taiwan government is promoting, while others are issues that even the Taiwan government has not yet resolved and have not yet resolved.

These questions, together with some questions on the art of war and advanced scriptures and etiquette, form a hundred strategy test questions, and all candidates who have achieved intermediate or higher scores in the previous examination can participate in the strategy test questions. The topic is optional, as long as you can get ten questions in the exam, you can get a higher level of appointment.

When these test questions were announced in the selection institute, they immediately caused great repercussions among the candidates.

After several months of recommendation, there are more than 1,700 people in the selection institute, but because the selection criteria of the previous examination are too strict, only more than 100 people can really pass all the examinations and obtain the qualification of conferring officials.

It must be known that education and knowledge are not popular enough nowadays, and these more than 1,700 candidates can basically be said to include the essence of the younger generation between Jiang and Han, and those who can enter the selection institute for further study can be called one in a hundred. As a result, the final selection and elimination ratio is still so high, which naturally makes the people unwilling.

Therefore, when this kind of additional test content with a more comprehensive assessment scope and a wider range of evaluation criteria is announced, both those who have been selected and those who have not been selected are ready to join it.

There are hundreds of test questions, and it is relatively easy to pick out what you are concerned about and good at. Moreover, the time for this test is a full three days, and it is not forbidden for the candidates to discuss and turn the book to summarize, as long as they do not leave the selection institute and can hand in the answer sheet within three days, it is considered a valid answer sheet.

Three days passed quickly, a large number of examination papers were collected, and the Taiwan government has also prepared a marking group of hundreds of people, and began to screen and select these examination papers of uneven quality, and even Li Tai personally joined in the marking of papers.

The main assessment of the test is the candidate's experience and knowledge reserve, as well as the most important logical thinking ability. Especially the latter, after all, knowledge and experience will always grow with age, but whether the brain is good or not is still a bit talented, some people are passionate idealism, and some people are still alive are humanitarian ideals.

With the progress of grading, some relatively excellent candidates have gradually emerged. For example, Liu Xingben, Zong Queyan, He Tuo, etc., who were born in the Southern Dynasty, Cui Kuang, Liu Ang, Wei Qiang, who were born in the Northern Dynasty, as well as Li Yuxiang of the Li family, Li Chongjie, the son of Li Gang, and so on.

Most of these people come from family families, and they themselves enjoy a relatively complete education, and they also have the teachings of their relatives and their relatives. Such as willow

Ang was fostered in Li Tai's house with several Feng and Li Ya since he was a child, and his studies were better than those two descendants of the town soldiers, so it was natural for him to stand out in this test.

However, it is not without outstanding children from humble backgrounds, because Li Tai emphasized a process of logical speculation in the marking of the papers, so some volumes with relatively mediocre views but more ingenious discussion processes have also been selected and marked.

However, such a situation is often just a flash of inspiration, and it is not a stable and sustained level of intelligence, and it does not meet the qualifications for awarding officials, but it also has potential worthy of continuous training.

In response to such a situation, Li Tai also told Li Shiyuan, who presided over the selection institute, to strengthen the academic education of these candidates, and pay attention to solving their living difficulties, hoping that they can grow into talents who can truly be used by the country in the coming year.

Among these collected examination papers, there are also quite a few questions about whether to move to Xiangyang, each of which puts forward its own views and gives discussions. What surprised Li Tai was that there were more exam papers in favor of the relocation of Xiangyang than against it!

This situation naturally made Li Tai unexpected, because he was planning to use this examination to veto the plan to move the city, but he didn't expect that everyone would not give him this opportunity at all, even if it was just out of belief and worship of the king of Taiyuan, most of them thought that Xiangyang had lived for so long and should be moved!

This inevitably made Li Tai scratch his head a little, and he didn't understand whether to warn everyone to think independently and not engage in personality cults, or to continue to call on everyone to follow him.

But soon he didn't have to feel embarrassed and nerve-wracking about it, because the downstream side did it unexpectedly, Chen Ba first killed Wang Sengbi in a wave of stealing, and the entire Jianghuai region was in a mess.

As soon as possible, Li Tai had expected and prepared for this, but it could not be said that he could completely control the trend of the situation, and in order to avoid too serious damage to the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Prefecture, after learning the news, he also hurriedly led 3,000 elite cavalry to Jiangxia and personally sat there to observe the development of the situation.
