In the chief's hall, Xu Ping was lying on the case and reading the official documents, and the officials of the various cases next to him came and went. The Governor's Hall and the official halls of the chief officials in this era www.biquge.info actually a big office according to Xu Ping's previous life. However, this office is no longer divided into various departments, but in a large house, and it is divided into various cases, that is, desks, each in charge of a stall.

The official in charge of each case processed the official documents and sent them to Xu Ping and divided them into categories. The important ones are not important, the signatures and drawings are to be reviewed, or they are only to be seen, and they are all miscellaneous. Jingxi Road is also equivalent to a province in Xu Ping's previous life, and I don't know how many official documents are exchanged between states and counties, plus miscellaneous things, and there are mountains of documents.

Officials can be tired, just like Xu Ping, although they don't have to do everything, but they have read the official documents that need to be handled by themselves, and they know everything they should know, and they all deal with what they should handle. You can also take it easy, then leave the matter to your subordinates, and even give them the official seal for safekeeping, and use it as they please. It's not an extremely important document, and I don't even read it, let alone sign it. Ordinary documents were handled by the public officials, who used their seals, and the magistrates did not even know about it.

You have to make achievements, know the situation under your rule well, and want to be at ease, there is no such good thing. Middle- and lower-level officials must climb out of this sea of literature and books, and only after experience can they reach the top level with ease.

The weather in early autumn was still a little muggy, the sun was shining outside, and the official hall was steaming.

Xu Ping straightened up, let out a sigh, and picked up the fan on the table and fanned it.

Autumn is coming, it is the busiest time for the government, the crops in the field to be harvested, how to harvest, and how to deploy manpower and material resources to make the division so as not to miss the agricultural time. What should be done after the grain is harvested, how to collect the autumn tax, where there is a disaster, how much should be reduced, and whether the tax arrears should be collected in the coming year. In order to prevent grain from being cheap and hurting farmers, the grain should be closed and opened to collect grain, and the price should be set and the amount to be collected.

The transshipment envoy is in charge of the money and grain all the way, and these things must be summarized to Xu Ping here, and they are comprehensively balanced within the scope of Jingxi Road. In this era, it was a chore, not only because he had to patrol all the states and counties under his rule in a year, but also because he was very busy with official business. The people take food as the sky, and in this era, there are more tiring errands than managing money and food?

Then again, only after the experience of the post of transshipment envoy can one be qualified to preside over the country's finances. Just like only after the experience of the state and county can you be qualified to enter the political hall.

After fanning the fan for a while, Xu Ping was about to continue to deal with the official documents, when he saw Yang Xuan hurriedly walking in from outside.

Looking at the busy public officials in each case, Yang Liang walked to Xu Ping's case and bowed: "Du Cao, the first batch of cotton in the camp has been transported into the city, and thousands of carts have come, and there is no end in sight on the road!" The people of the whole city gathered on the roadside to watch, and the officials of the various yamen also went, so don't you go and take a look? ”

"Oh, two days ago, Wang Gongchen sent a message saying that cotton had been shipped in the past two days, but I didn't expect it to be today. Okay, let's go and take a look, we have waited for a year, and finally waited for this day, how can we not take a look for ourselves. ”

Xu Ping got up, rubbed his sore waist, took off his head, and pressed his forehead. took the head in his hand, went out of the official hall with Yang Xuan, and took the iron wings on it. The official hall is an office place, and you must wear official uniforms, and in order to set an example for your subordinates, you can't be sloppy at all. This official uniform looks majestic, so it is really inconvenient to sit for a long time.

Called Chong Shiheng, brought Tan Hu and other guards, Xu Ping and Yang told the transfer envoy Si Yamen, and went to Changxiamen Street to see the cotton trucks. These vehicles entered the city from Changxiamen, and then turned to Chunmen Street, where they went to the textile yard gathering area.

As soon as I got to the street, I saw the crowd surging, as if it was a festival, and countless Luoyang people helped the old and the young to come over to see this never-before-seen wonder. They were just looking at it and didn't realize what kind of changes these convoys would bring to the ancient royal city. Unlike the previous goods, the cotton will not be put into warehouses or sold, but will become raw materials for new farms on the banks of the Luo River, giving rise to a series of new industries.

Although Wang Yaochen had already received the official letter from the camp and field affairs, the size of the convoy still caught him off guard, and he hurriedly mobilized the officials of the prefecture and county, as well as the box army under his control to maintain order.

Tan Hu led people to disperse the crowd, cleared a vacant lot, and asked Xu Ping and Yang Xuan to stand in front with the officials of the transfer envoy.

Looking at the convoy coming in from Changxiamen, winding like a dragon, and there was no end in sight at all, Yang Xuan opened his mouth wide and said to Xu Ping: "Wang Junzhen of the camp and field affairs has transported all the cotton at once?" The first stream of fine water, can you always be so anxious? ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible?" Now there is still a lot of cotton in the fields of Ru, Tang and Caizhou, because of the lack of manpower to harvest, Wang Junzhen is recruiting people from Jinghu and Huaixi Road, and at the same time mobilizing the box army from the nearby state army. This is just the beginning, and there are still some days before cotton is put on the market on a large scale. ”

"If this is just the beginning, how many trucks will it take?"

"According to the official document, the first time I came was only about a thousand, so how many are there. We have sold 20,000 or 30,000 new cars this year. Several state capitals have recruited cars from the battalion and field affairs, and if they are at their peak, such convoys will only be in an endless stream. Now it's the first time, everyone will see it fresh, and when the time comes, it will be no wonder that they have seen more. We are desperately building roads and making cars, isn't it at this time? ”

There are mainly two sections that need to be transported by car, one is from Ruzhou to Henan Province, and the other is from Fangcheng to Yexian through the pass. Other areas are mainly dependent on water transportation, the south side of the mountain is close to the White River, the water is flowing, and the north side of the mountain is to take the Rushui, which is convenient and low cost in this era. Xu Ping placed the textile center in Luoyang because it is near the Luo River and convenient for water transportation.

After the cotton is harvested, although it is rolled and baled, it still requires a huge capacity. Just these two sections of about 100 miles of land will consume most of the cars of Luoyang's new field service system this year, and it will take a month or two to stop day and night.

A huge cotton bale, a car can transport 1,000 catties, this is the first time it was transported, but it was only about 100,000 catties. According to the yield of 100 catties per mu of cotton, 100 million catties per mu is 100 million catties, which is really just an insignificant beginning. This is only the lint that is counted, if the seed cotton used to make cotton clothes in the future is counted, there will be tens of millions of catties more.

This is a new cotton seed that came to this world with Xu Ping, not comparable to the original cotton of this era, and the yield of 100 catties per mu can still be achieved. Higher yields are not out of the question if intensively cultivated.

This year, the field work has earned more than 10 million yuan just by relying on cotton. If you add the by-products of seed cotton and cottonseed oil, Wang Gongchen shows a big face. Not only political achievements, but he also actually mastered the grain and oil that can affect half of the market in the country, and the various roads around Jingxi Road, and I will know how huge the impact of these grains and oils on the market will be.
