Chapter 217: The post station system is in urgent need of an upgrade
Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xun Yu began to write about the Hanzhong Vocational Training School himself.
After finishing, Xun Yu took the written content to Cao Cao and looked at it again.
"Very good, the next issue of Dawei Minbao will mainly publish this content."
After Cao Cao carefully read what Xun Yu wrote, he said to him with satisfaction.
After receiving Cao Cao's confirmation, Xun Yu went to the office building of the Great Wei Times and handed over the contents of the Hanzhong Vocational Training School to the people in charge of printing.
After Cao Cao left, Cao Cao recalled the content of Lin Chuan's letter again, and he really felt comfortable.
First of all, the construction of cement straight roads, the Great Wei prefectures and counties were closely linked, and the central government decrees and the army could be quickly conveyed and mobilized through convenient transportation.
Then there was the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the production base, which helped the Great Wei to stabilize local governance, and also strengthened local taxation in disguise, weakening the monopoly of local scholars on financial power.
Now Hanzhong has established the Hanzhong Vocational Training School, which is independent of the Taixue system, and in Cao Cao's eyes, mastering this training school can bypass the educational monopoly that is tightly held in the hands of the scholars.
Now the national strength of the entire Great Wei is growing every year, and the Xianbei tribes in the north are becoming more and more inseparable from the commodity support of the Great Wei after tasting the sweetness of the mutual market.
Cao Cao's problems finally turned from the outside to the inside, but this inevitably touched the interests of those noble clan lords.
Families such as the Yingchuan Xun clan and the Hongnong Yang clan are not only deeply rooted in the local area, but also have protégés and old friends in the court.
And Xun Yu and Xun You are both very important think tanks under Cao Cao, although Yang Xiu has some character flaws, but he is also a person with outstanding intelligence.
Cao Cao wanted to truly control the power of the entire Great Wei, just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty described by Lin Chuan, and build the Great Wei into a powerful empire of all nations!
Therefore, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to vigorously promote the Hanzhong Vocational Training Institute in the Great Wei Minbao this time, just to test the reaction of the scholars in various places.
For movable type printing, printing some newspapers is still overkill, printing a large number of books, so that the people can read and write, and learn to be loyal to the Great Wei is Cao Cao's real ambition.
After this trial, with the Hanzhong Vocational Training School set up in Hanzhong as a reference, there are still three years for Cao Cao to make layouts and adjustments, so it must be vigorously promoted!
Half a month later, the scholars and common people of the entire Great Wei Dynasty knew that Hanzhong had established a private school called Hanzhong Vocational Training School.
It was Hou Linchuan of Hanzhong who founded this school.
The scholars were very happy to see this news, which meant that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce would expand on a large scale again in three years, and their shares would receive more dividends.
The people cheered when they saw the news, and some even bowed down in the direction of Hanzhong.
Hanzhong Vocational Training School, for the people of Dawei at this time, is like a Zhuangkang road to wealth and status!
To be able to produce a scholar in my own family, even if it is a master in charge of the production base, it is enough for the people to be proud.
At present, most of the scholars and all the common people of the Great Wei Dynasty hope that vocational training schools in various places will be built as soon as possible.
Hanzhong County, Hanzhong Marquis Mansion.
The day after the opening ceremony of the Hanzhong Vocational Training School, Lin Chuan called Liu Ba to the study of the Hou Mansion.
"Zichu, how are things going in Yizhou?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lin Chuan asked Liu Ba about the situation in Yizhou.
Liu Ba went to Yizhou this time, mainly on the order of Lin Chuan, to speed up the construction of the Hanzhong branch and production base in Yizhou.
After more than two years of development, the Hanzhong branch and its subordinate production bases have expanded branches in various prefectures and counties and even county towns of the Great Wei Dynasty.
However, the construction of the production base is significantly lagging behind the construction speed of the local branches.
This is also the inevitable result of the rapid expansion of the Hanzhong branch.
The branch manager basically does not need to spend a lot of energy on retraining, and can directly hire an experienced old shopkeeper with good character and experience in the local branch.
However, the production base involves assembly line production, as well as the inspection of parts of each assembly line, the final product assembly and other processes, and it also needs to manage craftsmen and train craftsmen.
It can be said that the person in charge of the production base is not competent, but there are many fewer masters in a state and county than the old shopkeeper.
If it weren't for the fact that the production base in Hanzhong County had expanded to the limit due to the number of people in charge, Lin Chuan would not have sent Liu Ba to Yizhou to vigorously develop the production base in Yizhou.
Liu Ba has been in Yizhou for a year, and this time he returned to Hanzhong to assist in the opening ceremony of Hanzhong Vocational Training School, and secondly, to report to Lin Chuan on the construction of Yizhou's production base.
In addition to Hanzhong County, Yizhou has 20 counties under its jurisdiction, which can be said to be the largest prefecture in the Great Wei Dynasty.
And Hanzhong County, the rear of Linchuan, is the most important county in Yizhou.
Within a year, Liu Ba traveled to the remaining ten counties with large populations, and with the cooperation of the county branches, he vigorously built new production bases.
"Back to Lord Hanzhong, before I went to Yizhou, in addition to Hanzhong County, the remaining twenty counties in Yizhou had a total of 56 Hanzhong branches and 122 production bases."
"Now after this year's construction, in Yangping County, Wudu County, Guanghan County...... Jianning County, a county with a large population, has 34 new production bases, so Yizhou now has a total of 156 production bases."
After listening to Liu Ba's report, Lin Chuan understood that this time he did not achieve the results he expected.
With the further opening of Xianbei Mutual Market, the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce needs more production bases to supply goods, and Lin Chuan originally planned to build more than 80 production bases in Yizhou this time.
"It's the beginning of hard work, let's rest in Hanzhong for a while this time!"
Lin Chuan said to Liu Ba, he knew that Liu Ba must have done his best, but there was no way to do it if there were not so many suitable masters in Yizhou.
Liu Ba knew that this trip to Yizhou did not achieve Lin Chuan's goal, but Liu Ba was not without new discoveries.
"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, I think that today's production base has not reached the maximum production capacity, because the transportation speed of raw materials is far slower than the manufacturing speed of the production base!"
This is an important phenomenon discovered by Liu Ba after personally inspecting many production bases in Yizhou.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, so he asked Liu Ba:
"Raw material transportation is too slow? Did Zichu think of a good solution? ”
"There are still too few post stations in Yizhou, if we can double them, we can fully utilize the production capacity of the production base!"
Liu Ba said confidently to Lin Chuan.
