This time, the contest between Zhou Fu and Yun Yi ended in a complete defeat, which was simply embarrassing, and was passed on as a joke by the entire Confucian academic community.

But even so, whether it is his status or reputation, he has no way to shake the other party in the slightest, so he can only suffer this dumb loss.

But in this way, it is a fatal blow to his pretended posture of celebrity demeanor.

The most important thing is that those who tend to be inflammatory, and they vaguely glimpse the emperor's attitude from this matter.

Since this Zhou Fu has no value to obtain, these villains immediately became birds and beasts, and resigned one after another.

Within a few days, the school could no longer continue to maintain due to the lack of teachers, so it had to be closed in disgrace.

Zhou Fu was disgraced because of this, and he felt shameless and swaggered around, so he closed the door and hid temporarily.

For Liu Zhi, after all, this person still occupies the name of the teacher, as long as he does not continue to be a demon from now on, he will still be supported with good food and drink.

There is an example of Zhou Fu there, no matter how powerful the rest of the people are, they can't be higher than the emperor's division, so they immediately do things honestly according to the rules, and don't dare to leave anything to chance.

After solving the problem of education, the next step was spring ploughing, and after the investigation and research of the Agricultural College, it was established that the north was suitable for planting cotton, wheat, potatoes, soybeans, millet, sorghum and other crops.

The south is suitable for rice, sugarcane, rape, etc., and as for new crops such as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc., it is suitable for both the north and the south.

There are also some crops that have special requirements for climatic and geographical conditions, such as barley, rubber, etc., which is needless to say.

The exception is the Northeast, where most of the crops can be grown and are of good quality.

Silk in demand in Dahan is suitable for planting in the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Southwest, while ramie is widely planted, and Southwest, Southwest, Jiangnan, Central Plains, and Northwest all have their own characteristics.

Through statistics, it is believed that the planting of cotton in the south of the Yangtze River should be canceled, and the planting should be changed to the Central Plains and the Northwest, and mulberry trees should be planted in both the north and the south, but they should not occupy fertile land, and they can use hillside land and ridges.

Farmers can also plant more in front of and behind their houses to maintain the yield of raw silk.

We should further popularize the cultivation of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, enrich the variety of grains, and better solve the grain problem.

In the suburbs of each large city, vegetables and fruits can be planted appropriately to ensure the needs of the public.

After the order was transmitted, the people were not so enthusiastic, for example, the price of cotton in the south was high, and the income of one mu of rice was far worse than it.

But at the same time, there were also macroeconomic control measures in the handicraft industry.

The foreign trade of the Han Dynasty was mainly based on silk, and because of the odd goods, the profits were very attractive.

But over the years, the quality has been uneven in various places, and there is a feeling of swarming to carry out the industry.

This is also the reason why the fertile fields everywhere have become mulberry fields, so it is urgent to standardize the silk fabric industry.

Liu Zhi asked the masters of the inner government to introduce inspection standards for all kinds of silk products, stipulating that those who do not meet the standards will be disqualified from production.

After the standard is issued, local governments and industry chambers of commerce should immediately carry out inspections for a period of three months.

This is much more than the storm set off by the school reform, you must know that the silk weaving industry of the Han Dynasty is basically in the hands of the family.

Almost all silk workshops have an official background behind them, and there are a lot of manipulations by local officials, which is now tantamount to letting them correct and self-examine, and the consequences can be imagined.

Even if it is not their own industry, the Han clan is intertwined, and it is a common phenomenon for officials to protect each other, and it is also the norm to conceal each other and not report it.

At this point, Liu Zhi naturally knows that taking people's wealth is like killing his parents, and if it is forcibly cut off, it is estimated that it will set off an earthquake.

So he started from the other side, that is, in foreign trade, in various large trade fairs and border gates, set up checkpoints, and all poor quality and shoddy products were confiscated and fined.

No matter how good the silk of the Han is, it cannot withstand the toss of profiteers, and in the long run, it will seriously damage the trade image of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, he no longer needs to supervise and stare at the rectification of the industry, and only needs to strictly inspect the quality.

In order to prevent the family from taking advantage of the opportunistic situation, he allocated the power of inspection to the joint enforcement of the military and the Ministry of Commerce.

In the Han Empire, due to historical reasons, the military and the scholars have always been somewhat opposed.

In addition, after Liu Zhi came to power, he used a military line to control the country and used a large number of civilian generals, which made this confrontation even more intense.

What's more, Liu Zhi also asked the Imperial History Institute to supervise them, so even if it can't be said to be iron-faced and selfless, the intensity of the inspection still caught the family members off guard.

Of course, the really powerful silk workshops don't have to worry about this problem, so this measure has no impact on the top families and giant merchants.

The real crackdowns are those of small and medium-sized families, as well as the side branches of some big families, who, although they are widely numerous, do not stand at the top of power.

When they found out that they had spent a bunch of costs to produce something, but they couldn't sell it, these people finally panicked.

For a while, they showed their magical powers, and they all tried to save themselves, some downsized and strengthened the quality, and some dredged up the relationship everywhere, hoping to get through the confusion.

There are also hopes that they can take refuge in the big workshop and merge their shares, and after some chaos, finally the silk weaving industry of Dahan has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Some of the inferior workshops that followed the trend disappeared, and some of the quality was acceptable, but after rectification, they survived.

There is also a part of the merger of large workshops, and the formulation of industry standards has made the entire scale shrink, from blooming everywhere to winning by quality.

At the same time, it also solved the phenomenon of overflowing mulberry fields in disguise, as well as the situation that a large number of peasants abandoned the land and entered the handicraft industry.

The silk weaving industry is the largest handicraft industry in Dahan, and with its demonstration, it is much easier for other industries to rectify.

Another big industry is steel, which is just as big as mining, smelting, and manufacturing, but it's not chaotic.

At this time, the mineral resources were quite abundant, and most of the iron ore developed was open-pit, with only a small amount of superficial iron ore.

The main reason is that the exploration technology is not good, and the danger of underground mining is too great, and it is easy to collapse.

Previously, the smelting industry was mainly supplied to the army, where weapons and armor were forged.

Since Liu Zhi vigorously developed industry, the large number of effects of the steam engine has higher requirements for smelting technology and a larger amount.

In addition, the Han Empire has entered a relatively stable period of military expansion, so the amount of steel used has decreased sharply.

At present, the amount of use in the industrial sector is increasing day by day, and there is a momentum of rapid development.

However, the mining industry has always been in the hands of the state and is largely run by the government, and because of the heavy and dangerous nature of the industry, the traditional practice is to use a large number of felons.

The large-scale smelting industry was basically run by the imperial court, and most of the folk blacksmiths were family-based and passed on their skills.

In order to manufacture steam engines, Liu Zhi had to integrate several large smelting workshops, merge them into factories, and implement assembly line operations.

In fact, assembly line operation was not an uncommon thing in ancient times, and this form was adopted in the production of weapons in the Qin Dynasty.

All weapons and equipment are manufactured in sections, and craftsmen must also engrave specific markings, and those who go wrong are held accountable.

In addition to this, there is another benefit, the segmented production method is conducive to disassembly and installation, more conducive to maintenance, and less waste.

Since the Qin Dynasty, this production method has been sought after by state-style large workshops, but among small folk workshops and master-level craftsmen, the whole production method is still adopted.

Liu Zhi further refined the way of assembly line operation, which used to be made by one person.

For example, for a long spear, A is responsible for the head of the gun, and B is responsible for the barrel of the gun, while Liu Zhi is responsible for different processes for each person.

For example, in the same spear, A is responsible for tempering the impurities of steel, B is responsible for quenching, C is responsible for molding, and D is responsible for assembling, and so on.

In this way, each craftsman only needs to be proficient in one process when learning, and concentrate on this process to the extreme.

In this way, the time required for apprentices is greatly reduced, while the quality has increased, and even the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the benefits of division of labor and cooperation are understood by modern people.

As long as there are master craftsmen to determine the standards of all processes, and work together step by step, we can create perfect products.

The assembly line operation also improves the quality of the product, which is easier to standardize production, and also creates conditions for mass production.

In recent years, the industry of the Han Dynasty has changed with each passing day, and it has far exceeded the normal level of this era, and because it has been under the control of the imperial court, there has not been a particularly chaotic situation like other industries.

Except for the two largest industries, the rest of the industries are much inferior, with lacquerware, gold and silver jewelry, and ceramics almost evenly divided.

Some such as brewing, vinegar, sauce, sugar...... Most of them are small-scale operations, except for sugar and wine, the others are not large due to market restrictions.

The sugar and liquor industry has been restricted by the state for a long time, and it is a regulated industry, not to mention the salt industry, which has been nationalized since Emperor Wu.

Although these are easy to say, the actual implementation is very complicated, even if Liu Zhi has set all the deadlines, it is still impossible to complete the rectification in a short time.

But in any case, the nascent industry of the Han Dynasty has begun to grow from barbarism to transition to the stage of orderly development.

After more than ten years of rapid development, it is time to put a halter on this wild horse and slow down, otherwise, it will be difficult to control it in a few years.

For this matter, Liu Zhi attached great importance to it, personally followed up the investigation, and supervised the implementation.

In the summer of the twelfth year of Jianning, because of a series of reform problems, the emperor broke the summer tradition that had been going on for several years and did not go out.

Sitting in the central government, it constantly sent temporary inspectors to the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Chengdu and other highly economically developed areas.

These people are all his cronies, most of them are upright and selfless, do not show favoritism, and they also have the privilege of playing directly.

In addition, Long Linwei also took responsibility for some of the inspection results, and cooperated with the work of the Imperial History Institute.

It was not until the autumn that the entire reform work began to stabilize and slowly entered the final stage.

Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Yu Shi Laiyan, who was patrolling outside, also came with the news that the eldest princess Liu Hua successfully gave birth to a son in Chengdu and named it Lai'an.

This made Liu Zhi and his wife happy and worried, these two children had been hiding from them, and they didn't send the news back until they were born.

If something goes wrong and they are not around, wouldn't it make them worry about death.

Fortunately, Liu Hua has been practicing martial arts all year round and is relatively strong, as long as he does not encounter special circumstances, there is no problem normally.

Since parting ways with Liu Zhi from Yangzhou last year, Lai Yan and Liu Hua have gone out on patrol in micro-suits, from Jingzhou and Xiangzhou all the way to the west, and then entered Shuzhong.

Everywhere they went, they would go deep into the people, carefully inspect the local economy, education, and so on, and of course, also inspect the local officials.

For the sake of safety, Liu Zhi gave them only the task of investigating and collecting data, and ignored everything else.

All the data will be sent to Liu Zhi through Long Linwei, which has played a very positive role in the industrial adjustment of Jingxiang this year.

Lai Yan is very careful and meticulous in his work, and he collects data from a tricky angle, and can see problems that many people don't see.

This made Liu Zhi very satisfied with him, it seems that his son-in-law has indeed found the right one, not only loves his daughter, but also is a young talent with unlimited potential.

With the arrival of Lai Yan and his wife in Chengdu, the data from the southwest has also been sent in a steady stream, and the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou is very special.

This place is the center of the South Silk Road, and it is also the land of abundance, and the silk manufacturing industry and ceramic manufacturing industry are very developed.

However, except for the rich basins, the other places are mainly mountain roads, and there are many ethnic groups, which are very troublesome to manage.

For a long time, the most serious problem in the Sichuan-Guizhou area, and the most headache for the local government, is that the multi-ethnic groups fight each other and do not give in to each other.

Fighting for territory, grabbing resources, and conflicts and contradictions between the customs and cultures of various ethnic groups, even if all parts of the country are peaceful and prosperous now, this place is still full of all kinds of small local wars.

Although the state has promulgated a relatively moderate policy of ethnic integration many years ago, the complex and changeable terrain and centuries of ethnic hatred cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Bloody conflicts between some of these ethnic groups occur from time to time, and hatred is so deep that it is almost impossible to reconcile.

It is extremely dangerous to investigate in this kind of place, although Liu Hua and his wife are noble, but since they are secretly investigating in the identity of the imperial historian, they cannot easily expose themselves.

After arriving in Chengdu, Liu Hua temporarily lived there because he was pregnant, and Lai Yan took a few guards to search around.

He was deeply worried about the chaos there and was determined to find out the real cause and find a practical solution.

It is easy to say, but the actual investigation is full of difficulties, and the local government is also troubled by this, and there are dozens of branch tribes of the Qiang nationality alone.

These local Qiang people are accustomed to infighting, and they are brave and ruthless in nature, and they will start fighting if they don't get along with each other, and they won't stop at all if they don't see blood.
