Yang Peng let the Eighth Prince, Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, and She Lao Taijun and his party into his official hall. The eighth prince said, "Seeing your drill today, I am much more relieved now, I hope that this time Mr. Yang can save the Great Song Dynasty in danger, I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Xiao to be so insidious, if it weren't for your intelligence work, the Great Song Dynasty would really move the capital, and the north of the Yangtze River will fall into war again, thank you Mr. Yang this time." ”

Yang Peng said, "Eighth Prince, I am also a Han person, okay, even without us, Empress Dowager Xiao's tricks will be difficult to succeed, Eighth Prince, you are also a wise prince, and in addition, Lord Kou will definitely get through this difficult time if he has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, so don't praise me." "Kou Zhun didn't think of Empress Dowager Xiao's conspiracy this time. Hearing Yang Peng say this, he blushed for a while. Kou Zhun came to see it with complete distrust this time. There is also the fact that Kou Zhun is completely loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and is 100% loyal to the Great Song official family.

The eighth prince asked, "Mr. Yang, I don't think you can buy salt." Yang Peng said, "Our goods here are completely open to the Great Song Dynasty, and the price is very fair, a pound of fine salt fifty Wen, this price is twice the price of your price in the market, you can as much as you want, your official family had better set up a yellow merchant firm, so that the official family does not look at the face of the household department, and if you want to use a little money, you have to find the household department to ask, if I want to lose this face." Soap, soap, including grain, are fine, but we don't buy and sell on credit here, we buy and sell in cash,"

The eighth prince said again, "Then your flintlock pistol can not be sold to us," Yang Peng said, "It's not impossible, first, the price is too high, second, many people in the court have dealings with the Khitans, the eighth prince, you see, the crossbow was originally the most powerful weapon in the Great Song Dynasty, and now it seems that even the Khitan hundred-man team has a crossbow, this kind of crossbow is not something that the Khitan people can develop, the eighth prince, do you say yes, now I don't know how many crossbows are sold to the Khitans, the crossbow is called a strong crossbow, that is, the Zhuge crossbow is modified, It's the bigger one, you see, I'd rather sell it to the Khitans than use it on Yang Jiajun. I sold the gun to you, and you are selling it to the Khitans. Then we will face a great threat to the Khitans. In this way, I will sell it to you, in addition to the guards of the palace to protect the official family, you must register every soldier when you use it, and there must be soldiers who have families in Bianjing. It's easy to control. We can also help you train, send a few instructors over, or so. ”

Eighth Prince, you see, after this crisis passes, we will talk about it. The Eighth Prince thought about it, and the Eighth Prince also knew that a large number of machine crossbows were sold to the Liao Kingdom. In the face of this phenomenon, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is also powerless, everyone basically has a good result in this conversation, the eighth prince is also very happy, I didn't expect this talk to be so smooth, even She Lao Taijun didn't expect that everything was for the Yang family, which made the Yang family extremely happy, at least the exile of Pan Renmei's family was settled, and the others took their time, the most unexpected thing for She Lao Taijun was to exchange the two cities for the Yang family's martyrs' shrine, this is the biggest contribution to the Yang family, the deceased is dead, The living are the most important. This old lady She thought very clearly.

and Mrs. She has dug up nearly 100 lead pipes at home, which also proves what Liu Zhiliang said. The Yang family Xuanran hated the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but the ancient precept of thousands of years of education that the monarch called the minister to die, and the minister had to die has always stuck to people's thoughts, and in the end She Lao Taijun still couldn't do it, but he didn't expect Yang Peng to still not agree, Yang Peng must give an explanation to the court, and also give Yang Qilang an explanation, because Lin Qinger really treats Yang Peng as his own child, Zhu Zi's family motto, the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates, Yang Peng still understands this truth. Moreover, Yang Peng was not willing to directly face the iron cavalry of the Liao State. From time to time, people die, which Yang Peng doesn't want to see.

The next day, Duan Zhixian of the Tiger Ben Regiment sent someone to send bud rice and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry. The Eight Sages King and they came out to take a look, and they knew that Yang Peng and they had won the battle again, and there were nearly one hundred carts of buds, as well as dozens of taels of silver and gold and silver jewelry, which made Kou Zhun's eyes red, it seems that what Yang Peng said is not wrong, as long as there is a war, there will be money to be made, and these people are really not a loser. Fighting in the court is spending money, and sometimes a battle spends all the inventory of the court. There are people like Yang Peng who made so much money in a battle, and this time it was no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and there was so much food.

Yang Peng asked about the general situation, and said to Guan Shan, "Where is the battalion in that Daqingshan, and all the others will return to the original garrison, and the men and horses of this battalion will let Duan Zhixian recruit me full." Don't compromise our deployment. Guan Shan left immediately after getting Yang Peng's explanation, and Yang Peng looked at the corn. I was also very happy in my heart, and I immediately thought in my mind that the corn Dasong did not have it at this time, and I could plant 10,000 mu first.

Yang Peng also ignored the eight princes and walked into the official hall alone, Yang Peng knew that the main thing in the Great Song Dynasty now was that there was not enough food, and this corn one acre represented the yield of five acres of land in the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Peng returned to the study of the official hall and immediately began to record the planting method of corn. Lin Qing'er said to She Lao Taijun, "This little monkey, I don't know what I found." It must be a great thing, or you will leave without any etiquette, little monkey. She Lao Taijun said, "Sister, are you just smiling?" It won't be long before the whole Song Dynasty knows that you have accepted a good apprentice and recognize filial piety, even Qilang did not have your apprentice at that time to be filial, which made me envious as a sister. ”

Yang Peng is thinking about the cultivation of corn, which has been cultivated in my history for more than 470 years. It seems that only the countries of the South Seas and the West have it, and this time the bandits should have been preserved because the bandits did not know how to eat corn. However, due to its high yield, good quality and strong adaptability, the cultivation area of corn has developed rapidly. At present, Yang Peng wants to sow about 10,000 mu, second only to rice and wheat, and rank third among grain crops.

In Yang Peng's thinking, it is second only to the section of Nanyang. Yang Peng also has a wealth of experience in corn cultivation technology. Sowing: The natural conditions of the Dasong corn producing area are very different, according to the local frost period, soil texture, soil fertility, planting month, choose suitable varieties, forage corn and dentate hybrids have high yields. It is also necessary to pay attention to the breeding of improved varieties and appropriately arrange the area of seed fields. The sowing period of corn is affected by temperature, humidity. Spring-sown maize is stable at 15°C in the upper layer of 7.6 cm for the best sowing period.

Summer-sown corn in the Youzhou area is sown in time after the wheat or pea harvest. The sowing depth is 2.5-10cm according to the soil moisture, and 5-6cm is the most suitable. The sowing amount per mu is 3-4kg, and the plant is 4000-6000 plants per mu. How forage corn is grown. Uniseeding, easy to operate mechanically from planting to harvesting. Intercropping with soybeans, socks beans, peas, and hairy leaves can increase the protein yield per unit area. Management: Corn plants are tall and have high yields of grains and stems and leaves, requiring fine management. Fertilization, irrigation, chemical weeding, and pest control are the key technical measures in the management of high-yield maize cultivation. In order to obtain high-yield and high-quality corn, 2000-3000kg of high-quality manure should be applied per mu as base fertilizer before sowing. Corn prefers a semi-arid climate, but is very sensitive to moisture. During the flowering period, a corn plant consumes about 2kg of water per day, 3-4m3 per mu per day, and 250-350m3 of water during the whole growth period. Different growth maize has different water needs. From 10 days before tasseling to 10 days after tasseling, maize needs the most water in its life and is the most sensitive to water, which is called the "critical period of water demand".

Irrigation is to be carried out during this period. Corn generally needs to be watered 3-4 times in its lifetime, depending on different regions, the specific situation varies. Irrigation method, our country is currently mostly furrow irrigation, furrow irrigation, the recent development of the use of sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, the latter two methods, both save water, and irrigation evenly. Corn is not tolerant to waterlogging, and in areas with high groundwater level and heavy rainfall in the south, it is necessary to pay attention to drainage or adopt the cultivation method of ridge cropping and field to prevent waterlogging. Corn often occurs leaf spot, silk smut, powdery mildew, black streaked dwarf disease, bacterial wilt and other diseases, as well as armyworms, corn borer, mole crickets, ground tigers, grubs and other insect pests. Attention should be paid to the selection of disease-resistant varieties, strengthening cultivation management, reasonable crop rotation and pesticide control and other measures to prevent and control pests and diseases in a timely manner.

Yang Peng's happiness in his heart is that he is basically a plain from here to Youzhou, a large amount of land is idle, and there is no landlord to occupy it, Yang Peng decided to reclaim 10,000 mu by the army. Plant all the corn here.

Corn has a high yield and is highly adaptable. The grains and stems of corn are rich in nutrients and are high-quality feed for all kinds of livestock. 5.6 kg of corn kernels are needed for each kilogram of pork and 10 kg for one kilogram of beef. 100kg of corn kernels is equivalent to 135kg of oats, 125kg of sorghum, and 130k of barley. It is an indispensable feed for beef cattle, dairy cows, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry and fish. The whole plant of corn can be fed, with a utilization rate of more than 85%, which is the crude protein of the famous "king of feed" corn, with less cellulose and good palatability; All kinds of domestic animals like to eat. The content of lysine, tryptophan and methionine in corn grains is insufficient, generally containing lysine, and some of the new varieties recently bred abroad are as high as 5%. Each part of corn contains different amino acids, and the kernel is the most abundant. Corn is also rich in trace elements.

It has been determined that the digestibility of organic matter in corn grains containing vitamins in corn grains is relatively high. Corn is used as feed for 85% in developed countries, and the grains are concentrates for pigs, chickens, dairy cows, and beef cattle. Green mowing and silage corn are essential fodder for dairy cows. With the development of production, corn as a feed crop in China is becoming more and more important.

The nutritional composition of corn is relatively comprehensive, generally containing 8.5% protein, 4.3% fat, 73.2% sugar, 0.022% calcium, 21% phosphorus, 0.0016% iron, and also contains carotene, vitamin B1, B2 and nicotinic acid, as well as sitosterol, lecithin, vitamin E, lysine, etc. The latest research points out that corn contains an anti-cancer factor - glutathione. Nutritionists at home and abroad give corn a high evaluation, believing that the glutathione contained in corn has anti-cancer effects, which can be combined with a variety of carcinogens in the human body, and can make these substances lose carcinogenicity; The cellulose contained in corn is a carbohydrate that cannot be absorbed by the human body, which can reduce the concentration of carcinogens in the human intestine and reduce the accumulation of putrefaction secreting toxins in the intestines, thereby reducing the incidence of colon cancer and rectal cancer; The lignin contained in corn can increase the activity of "macrophages" in the human body by 2~3 times, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of cancerous tumors; Corn also contains a large amount of the mineral magnesium, and magnesium in food has obvious anti-cancer effects.

After Yang Peng wrote it down, it was getting late at this time, and Yang Peng didn't know that he had been in the study for nearly four hours, and he hadn't eaten at noon, and when he came out, he saw Lin Qing'er waiting for him to eat. Yang Peng's eyes were red, and he was also very moved in his heart, the master is the master, even if it is late, he will wait for himself to eat. At the beginning, when I practiced martial arts with my master, I knew that there was very little food at that time, and the master himself could not eat enough, so he had to take care of Yang Peng's food, and every day the master went out to hunt some game to increase Yang Peng's nutrition.

Yang Peng walked up to the master and said, "Master, go to dinner." Lin Qing'er said, "What a good thing! You're so nervous. Yang Peng said, "This time Duan Zhixian they pulled back the grain, we did not have in the Great Song Dynasty, I am going to call Zhang Xiang's regiment to prepare to try to plant 10,000 acres, this grain is called corn, there are more than two thousand catties per mu, we don't have to worry about food here in the future, a large area is wide, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty no longer have to worry about hunger, and if we win the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, we can also promote planting in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." ”

Lin Qing'er said, "That's true, haha, you don't have to starve to death when you see someone in the future." What you do is accumulate great virtue. You can do it without worry, right? Yang Peng said, "At present, our territory is mainly divided into three parts, Tianjing New Town, Dagou and Yanshan County. The three sites are not under each other's control, and it is difficult to achieve effective management. We deliberated and decided that a unified yamen should be formed. The next day, Yang Peng put Zhang Xiang, Duan Zhixian, Lin Qinger, and She Lao Taijun. Hua Jieyu, Zhou Yunjing, Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei, Zhao Jinxi, Cheng Shijie. Yang Tong, as well as a group of talents, and craftsman Cai Huaishui were the representatives, and held a meeting in the official hall.

There are 100,000 people in Tianjing New Town, and the population in the rural areas is close to 200,000. What Yang Peng is afraid of is that there will be a conflict between the new education and traditional Confucianism, and it will be bad if it makes a big fuss. "I plan to set up a Ministry of Rites, with you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and be fully responsible for the spread of education. This burden is very heavy, and the master has worked hard for you. ”

Lin Qing'er was originally the principal of the current school, and all the talents were her students. She has the identity of a master, and if she focuses on education, she can save a lot of trouble. Being able to have something to do and not need to be trapped in the house, Lin Qinger couldn't be happier. "The city has a large population, and if the school is fully built, we are afraid that we will not have enough manpower." For her worries, Yang Peng had already thought clearly.

"The middle school will be put on hold for the time being, and the primary school will be established first. It is more important to popularize basic knowledge first, so that more people can read and write, or learn a skill. After five years, only those who excel in their studies can enter secondary school, and most of the rest are estimated to have to work. "There is also Yang Peng who took in nearly two thousand orphans, all of whom were under the age of twelve. Yang Peng also does not plan to cultivate all students into talents, which is also unrealistic. In his vision, the primary school has two main purposes.

One is to eradicate illiteracy, so that young children do not become blind, at least be able to understand things, and not be easily deceived by others. The second role is the training of basic skills. Most people are still troubled by food and clothing, and making money to survive is the problem they consider. Let the children learn a skill in school, at least after graduating from primary school, they can enter factories and other places to become qualified industrial workers.

Unexpectedly, this problem is in Xiucai's place, but not a problem. "It's great that not only the children of all families can go to school, but also the children of ordinary people." Yang Peng asked with concern: "I'm afraid that some old pedants who are holding on to their flaws will be dissatisfied." Lin Qing'er said with a smile: "Revitalizing education is a great good act, and it was all the same when Bianjing Academy and others were popular in the world. It's a big deal that we will also add some scripture and righteousness courses in our school. Anyway, schoolchildren have to read and write, which is just the best of both worlds. ”

Zhao Jinxi clapped his hands and said yes. "That's it, as long as the Four Books and Five Classics are taught in our school, no one can say anything. As for what courses are the main courses, it's not up to us to decide. Today is a great event, and those who are supposed to come have come. On behalf of everyone, Zhang Xiang reported the situation to Yang Peng.

In the past, there was no overall planning for the administrative aspects of the New Army. They all occupy one land and govern another. Tianjing New City is the place where Yang Peng started, but the only place that the new army can really control at present is Tianjing New Town, and Tianjing New City is controlled by Yang Peng.

After Yanshan County was still the former county magistrate, some big families took refuge in it, but the current administrative model is still the same as before.

Not to mention the big ditch. There are no big cities here, there are countryside all over the place, but the area is vast. Previously, only a few village-level managers were arranged, each responsible for a piece, but all of them were directly responsible to Yang Peng.

As a result, administrative inefficiencies have been created. It is clear to everyone that in order to grow stronger, it is necessary to establish a regime. And the basis of political power is the administrative system. The Forces nouvelles must have their own administrative system. Yang Peng has long been dissatisfied with this situation, and everyone's thoughts coincide with him.

"What was the result of your discussion?" Huang Guangdao: "Our opinion is that we must establish a center and grasp the local management. lest each region do its own thing, and even cause mutual constraints. ”

Yang Peng went straight to the point. "What do you think about the Cabinet?" Liu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly: "For the time being, there is no agreement, some people suggest following Tang Zhi, and some people propose to adapt measures to local conditions." Everyone has no eyebrows, so I still have to ask what you think. Yang Peng was silent, thinking in his heart. It is definitely not possible to rely on the system of the Great Song Dynasty, the system of the Great Song Dynasty is too chaotic, the power of civil officials is too great, and the power of county orders is also too great, and it is definitely not possible to have the power of life and death. As early as when deciding on his own city lord, he had already thought about how to set up his own administrative system in the future.

He was unwilling to inherit Song Zhi. The political system of the Song Dynasty seemed to be relatively complete and stable, but after seeing his own management system, he naturally looked down on the political system of the Song Dynasty. Of course, it is not possible to copy your own administrative system. The political system should be linked to the productive forces and the economic level. rashly adopting an overly advanced political system, if you don't get it right, you will become Wang Mang's second. Of course, one of the major prerequisites for deciding how to establish an administrative system is to ensure the efficiency of administration.

Based on this, Yang Peng put forward his idea after thinking about it repeatedly. "Can we set up a cabinet system to oversee local governance?" Lin Qing'er didn't understand, and hurriedly asked, "What is the cabinet system?" ”

Yang Peng explained. "The cabinet system, as the name suggests, is an executive branch. It is composed of a number of officials who coordinate all administrative matters. Major resolutions need to be voted on at a cabinet meeting by the cabinet system before they can be formed. Huang Guang suddenly realized. Isn't this an expansion of the current practice of the towns in Tianjing New Town? Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Do you think it's feasible?" After thinking about it, everyone expressed their approval.

The management of the towns in Tianjing New Town is in everyone's eyes. While not without its failures, it is generally presented as benign. At least it won't be like the Great Song Dynasty, where everyone grabs it and there are no one who has seen it. Yang Peng explained. Huang Guang immediately said: "Then the position of prime minister can only be held by you Yang Peng." ”

Everyone seconded the motion. Yang Peng is the leader, the position of head of the administration, which can be described as expected. Unexpectedly, Yang Peng refused. "My focus is on the military, and I don't have a lot of time to be administrative. Therefore, the prime minister of this cabinet should be elected by everyone. ”

Fu Jianyue disagreed. "Administration is the foundation of state affairs, Yang Peng is not in charge, who can bear the burden?" Yang Peng smiled. "Although I am not the prime minister of the cabinet, I will pay attention to various affairs and put forward my own opinions." Some of you understand it, and some of you don't. If you don't understand it, it won't be long before you understand it.

Yang Peng's existence is the bottom line. Because in the final analysis, who holds the power of politics does not depend on the name, but on the power of the military. Yang Peng didn't say that he didn't want military power. But what he did made the big guy very happy.

If the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty could do this, why would the state affairs be like this? With the foolishness of one person, no matter how big or small, the emperor can handle the big and small things in the world?

In addition, if you encounter someone with mediocre and incompetent qualifications, the state affairs will inevitably plummet. On the contrary, the emperor ceded administrative power and let the courtiers show their strengths, only controlling the overall situation, which was more conducive to gathering the strengths of the wisdom of the crowd and more beneficial to state affairs.

But Lin Qing'er raised an objection. "Is there a limit to the prime minister?" Everyone immediately woke up and found that Lin Qing'er's reminder was very necessary. The post of prime minister of the Cabinet seems to be in the hands of great power, and if there are no restrictions, it seems that it will not be difficult for the situation to hang upside down in time.

Zhang Jimeng immediately said: "Since I am the prime minister of the cabinet, I propose to add a number of vice ministers to share affairs. Three stinkers are better than Zhuge Liang. Of course, we must gather the strengths of the wisdom of the crowd to be foolproof. His proposal has been recognized by everyone. Eventually, the formation of the Prime Minister was approved, consisting of up to seven people.

Any administrative decision needs to be voted on and implemented on the principle of minority obeying the majority. After a long discussion, everyone recognized this mechanism. Therefore, the resolution was made and implemented immediately for a while, and everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Penglai, who was as usual as usual. This young leader has shown a lot of political novices in the past. How can it be so sharp when it comes to the issue of such a core power structure? How did they know that Yang Peng was just absorbing the essence of his mind.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
