Zhang Yifan is here, but he really doesn't have time to pay attention to these Beijing officials, because the second distribution of grain fields in Xiangshan County is about to start again.

The verification of household registration is mainly to verify the true situation of the registered population, for example, if a person dies in the past two years, he must be removed from the list, and the deceased person cannot be redistributed to grain fields.

Accept the supervision of the people, and report directly to the county office.

As long as it is not a one-handed cover, this kind of thing that will harm the interests of others will be more concerned by the people than the government.

The second thing is to verify how much grain land has been newly opened up in the past two years, and even if the grain fields have not yet reached the stage of returning to the public, they must be registered in the register of the newly opened grain fields.

In the same way, this matter is related to the issue of how much grain land will be allocated to all the people, and it is also subject to the supervision of the people, and they can report directly to the county government.

In Xiangshan County, the vast majority of the people with household registration know a few words and can understand the government's announcements about the fields, so they are more supervised.

In addition, it is also necessary to verify whether the grain fields that were allocated last time were cultivated by themselves, which is related to the matter of changing agriculture to non-farming after two consecutive times.

There are no exceptions, and the same is accepted for supervision and reporting by the people.

These things can be checked by regulations, and it is much easier to do them on the basis of the first grain land return to the public distribution.

At least, Zhang Yifan's side is much more relaxed, busy, and he is still an official in charge of specific affairs.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with the non-farmers registered in Xiangshan County, because they do not participate in the division of land. At this time, there are still many people who envy those farmers.

In this whole process, Li Shanchang and others also paid attention. After all, they know that if there is no accident, the law of returning grain land to the public in Xiangshan County is likely to be implemented throughout the world.

However, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's will, they only came to Xiangshan County to inspect the matter of national education, so they can only pay attention to this part more.

By the beginning of November of the 11th year of Hongwu, they had basically come to a conclusion.

First, the literacy rate of the people registered in Xiangshan County is extremely high, far exceeding that of other places, including Jingshi.

Second, the Xiangshan County government has the money, and on the basis of free social education, it has also set up scholarships and penalties for school-age children not to go to school, and the government has made it mandatory and guaranteed that all children can go to school.

Third, the literary style of Xiangshan County is very good, and the library that is open to ordinary people has played a great role and enhanced the willingness of the people to take the initiative to read and write.

Fourth, the Xiangshan County Popular Literature Society has also played a significant role in guiding the people to read. Storytelling became popular, and the people loved to listen to stories, especially the books created by the horse and Luo Guanzhong, which attracted many people to take the initiative to read and write, and to buy books to read.

Fifth, one of the advantages of the more literate people is that in the matter of returning grain fields to the public in Xiangshan County, the people can understand the government policies and respond in a timely manner. One of the things that has been represented is that the government has accepted a lot of reports about the return of grain land to the public, so that the government has spent a lot less energy and is even more free from being fooled by the people.

Sixth, another benefit of more literate people can be felt everywhere in Xiangshan's life. The shop guys, pedestrians on the road, etc., are more reasonable, and they are reflected in language and conversation, behavior and work.

Li Shanchang, Song Lian and others felt that if the people of Xiangshan County participated in the previous imperial examinations, they would definitely not be able to. Because they don't know the Confucian classics, but this kind of life with a certain culture is excellent.

Because of the script provided by the horse and most of the simplified scripts, Li Shanchang and his team eased a lot of work.

Seeing that if you don't go back, you won't be able to go back for the New Year. At least they can already make a difference, and after returning to Jingshi, they can complete the dictionary.

Therefore, they finally set off for Beijing.

Before leaving, at the wharf of Xiangshan County, Li Shanchang pulled Zhang Yifan, who came to see him off, and said: "The horse is really a genius of the sky, and he is really the first capable minister of governance since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hold, keep holding!

Of course, this is also true!

Everything in Xiangshan County, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really won't believe it.

Based on Li Shanchang's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt that many of the policies in Xiangshan County would be implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang throughout the world.

This colt, in terms of governance, is really remarkable!

Originally, Li Shanchang was also looking forward to finding out the economic problems of the horses, after all, who doesn't love money?

As a result, he didn't expect that after some investigation, he found that the reason why Xiangshan County would develop rapidly and attract population agglomeration was that in addition to the policies of Xiangshan County, there were also things that were invented by Xiangshan County, or simply put it simply, a cornucopia, which was contributed. In this way, the county government of Xiangshan County has a lot of money, so that it can do so many things.

People have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even more have donated them, and they will be greedy for a little money?

Even if someone does take it, who cares?

However, Li Shanchang still did not come in vain after all, because he found that although the horse was timid, he was more inclined to shout and kill when dealing with the small country of Fanbang.

In order to confirm this, Li Shanchang even found an opportunity to test the colt to confirm that this was correct.

In military affairs, I am very happy about my achievements, but I obviously do not know that military affairs and government affairs are completely different things.

With this understanding, Li Shanchang can also go back happily. After he arrived at the court, he started in this direction, holding the horse flutteringly, thinking that he was very powerful, it was best to let him destroy a state, not to mention that he died on the battlefield, and it would be excellent to lose the battle!

In this way, the group embarked on the journey home, and finally returned to Nanjing before the end of the year.

When he was on the road, Li Shanchang had already mentioned it openly and secretly, saying how good Xiangshan County was, which meant to promote Xiangshan County and Kuma.

Xiangshan County was originally excellent, and under the hint of the Taishi, these officials returned to Nanjing, of course, some people would ask, and it was a strong boast.

At the same time, many officials were reminded and began to send people to Xiangshan County to do business, making money to subsidize the lack of money, it is better than being stripped of the skin and grass for corruption, right?

The comment that came out of Li Shanchang's mouth: The horse is really a genius in the sky, and he is actually the first capable minister in governing the government since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! It also began to circulate in Kyoto.

In this way, if you annoy a person, this person is Hu Weiyong.

After Deng Yu became the prime minister, he said that he was not good at others, so he only gave his opinions when it came to military affairs, and he didn't ask anything else.

Wang Guangyang is still the same as before, addicted to wine, and basically does not deal with government affairs.

In other words, most of the work is done by Hu Weiyong, he gives the processing results, and then sends them to the East Palace, and then to the emperor.

Most of the ones that have been processed by his hands are quasi-played, and few are dismissed, which somewhat comforts Hu Weiyong.

However, now there are legends on the Jingshi side that the horse is the first political minister of the Ming Dynasty, so what is he? In his position, does he also want the horse to be the one?

Hu Weiyong was really annoyed by this, but as soon as he checked the source, he found that the person who first said this sentence was still his own family, and he was depressed.

As a last resort, he also asked people to spread a message: The ability of the horse to govern a county is indeed good, but it is still too young to govern a larger place!

This kind of statement is still convincing for people who have never been to Xiangshan County. After all, the age of the colt is there.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to these. At this time, he was talking to the prince Zhu Biao about Zhang Yifan's performance!

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang say to Zhu Biao, who had already finished watching Zhang Yifan's recital: "This mention of the post station is not unreasonable, this is something I haven't thought about before."

Zhu Biao listened, nodded with emotion and said, "Yifan's ability to see the subtleties is indeed first-class strong. The cost of the post station has been like this since ancient times, and ordinary people don't feel anything wrong at all. However, Taishi and his entourage went to Xiangshan County once, and he proposed that this way was unreasonable! And based on the cost of Xiangshan County, the facts are there."

What they discussed, as far as that

It was Zhang Yifan who mentioned to Li Shanchang and them before that the matter about the cost of the post station, if it is replaced by later generations, is the problem of the burden of business trip expenses.

In ancient times, the cost of business trips was borne by the local government. The more officials are entertained, the heavier the burden on the locality. If it is a traffic artery, the annual apportionment of the post station entertainment alone is a big burden on the people.

Especially this time, Li Shanchang took a large number of people to stay in Xiangshan County for so long, and the expenses incurred, Zhang Yifan shared with the number of household registration in Xiangshan County when he first came, and they were almost catching up with Tianfu.

Zhang Yifan also specifically pointed out that local officials, especially those who are on errands, take the opportunity to make money, and in the end, the people will definitely pay more.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan suggested in the chapter that the business trip expenses of officials should be controlled from the source, so as not to disturb the local people's livelihood.

For the **** of officials, Yuanzhang is very concerned. Zhang Yifan proposed this kind of control measure from the source, and he admired it very much, but the question came again, where did the yamen get the money?

Theoretically speaking, the yamen have no money. Every month, the yamen received only money from the household department.

In this regard, Zhu Biao tried to give an answer: "Perhaps, according to what Yifan said, the way to be reimbursed by the officials who made the tolerance to the household department? However, Yifan also mentioned one point, maybe the official's fortune or family funds are not enough to pay the cost of tolerance in advance? Not to mention, it's hard work to get out of tolerance, so what kind of travel allowance do you have to give?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said angrily: "This kid, I thought that every yamen was as rich as the yamen of Xiangshan County! Did you see it, he said that it was already the end of the year, and according to Jing Jing's estimate, the Yamen of Xiangshan County would have an income of 2.5 million yuan this year! It's 500,000 more than previously estimated, and it's really rich, but the people are still getting rich!"

This kind of thing, if it were to be changed before, it would never be believed. If the government wants money, where will the money come from? It must have come from the hands of the common people!

Where does the truth come from, the government has scavenged more money from the people, and as a result, the people's money has not only not decreased, but has also increased!

It's a bit hard to figure it out!

When Zhu Biao heard this, he said with a smile: "Many people say that there is a fixed amount of money and grain in the world, and whoever has more will inevitably have less! With Xiangshan County as an example, I'm afraid this kind of thinking won't work."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, shook his head, and said a little more seriously, "That's not necessarily!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up a few pieces of music from the imperial case, motioned to the rotating eunuch to transfer them to the prince, and then said, "Song Qing came back and said something, and there are also music chapters in the place, on the whole, Xiangshan County should have sucked up all the money around it. You can see that in the past two years, taxes in other parts of Guangdong, except for Panyu County, have been reduced."

Zhu Biao didn't know about this before. Therefore, as soon as he took the movement, he looked through it.

He was watching, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still saying, "Other places in Guangdong, because they have to help with matters involving Xiangshan County, therefore, their populations have flocked to Xiangshan County, creating the prosperity of Xiangshan County, but the population of other places is decreasing, and the impact is a little bigger!"

"Especially after the recent typhoon, people who have land in many places have abandoned their fields and flocked to Xiangshan County with their families. This phenomenon is not a good phenomenon!"

At the beginning, it was those tenants who had no land, and many who were originally hidden households, flocked to Xiangshan County. Therefore, this thing does not stand out. But after this once-in-a-century typhoon, the matter became prominent. The affected local government officials played and complained. It's just that based on the will to assist Xiangshan County, they don't dare not let go.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the pieces in Zhu Biao's hand and said, "Hu Qing has already proposed that Xiangshan County has been so prosperous because it has squeezed other places, which is a special case, and it is not enough to show that Xiangshan County must be good. I think this opinion is biased, but there is some truth to it!"

Zhu Biao listened and watched. After reading it, he was also silent for a while, and finally looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with the same serious expression: "Father, the son feels that these problems are blamed on Xiangshan County, and I always feel that it is wrong!"

Say, he doesn't

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he took the initiative to explain: "Erchen has been to Xiangshan County, and he can feel the prosperity of Xiangshan County. If it is said that the prosperity of Xiangshan County is wrong, then the minister thinks that there must be something wrong with this, and it should not be the problem of Xiangshan County, but the problem of other places!"

After a pause, Zhu Biao thought of an example, and then added: "It's like a person in a school, where someone excels in learning, and the others complain, saying that this person's learning is so good that it seems that they are stupid and can't learn well? That's to learn to excel, this person can't be so good? Or do you want others to work harder?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and waited for his father to comment.
