Chapter 231: Core Salt and Iron Division

The sun was dazzling, and it hurt hotly on the sun. www.biquge.info Summer is coming, the whole Kaifeng City seems to be burning, the water vapor of several rivers is steaming, filling the whole city, and the sultry weather makes people have nowhere to hide.

Xu Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the sun in the sky, and shook his head helplessly. In the end, I still have the cool memory of the air-conditioned room in my previous life, and compared with people of this era, I am really afraid of the heat.

At this time, all kinds of other industries outside the city came in handy, the Central Plains is not the south of the Yangtze River, as long as you go out of the city, find a wooded place, and lie down in the shade, it is extremely comfortable. The rich and noble families in the city, who have Zhuangzi outside the city, have moved over early, and those who have not joined relatives and friends, and even with the help of temples, have gone out of the city to escape the heat.

When it is particularly hot, officials will also take a holiday, usually half a month. However, it was only the suspension of the court meeting, and the various yamen did not suspend their duties, and they still had to go to work normally. I am much more relaxed in doing things in my own yamen, and if there is nothing important, I can stop it. The Yushitai in this era was not as strict as the Commission for Discipline Inspection in Xu Ping's previous life, and could only strictly manage the court's leave. They can't manage the attendance in the yamen at all, and the yamen like the third division, because there are many and miscellaneous things to manage, there are a lot of fat shortages, in order to prevent officials from asking for help, it is strictly forbidden for officials to enter and exit without urgent business, and it is even more self-contained.

Xu Ping also wanted to go back to his Yongning Hou Mansion outside the city and lie comfortably in the shade, but there were too many things in the Sansi recently, and he couldn't get out anyway. There are so many new yamen all at once, how to do things, Xu Ping must grasp the general direction. An era has an era's thoughts, different values, and its own principles for doing things, and if one does not pay attention to it, it will not know which direction these new yamen are working intowards.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Xu Ping said to the officials of the Salt and Iron Division behind him: "The weather is hot, and we can't sit in the car, so let's ride a horse." Walk a little faster, and it's always cooler when it's windy. ”

Zhao He arched his hand and said, "Obey the instructions of the provincial lord." ”

If the deputy envoy said so, what objections could the other judges have? And among these people, Zhao He is the eldest, he can ride a horse, and others can ride even more.

The official took the horses from the stables, and when they were out of the imperial city, they turned over and got on their horses. There was no need to guide, only Tan Hu took a few box troops, as well as the accompanying officials, and went to the northwest corner of Kaifeng City.

Including Xu Ping's newly built field affairs in the past few years, as well as the old field affairs that were suitable for restructuring in the past, they have been successively changed to companies. The system is being reformed, and the personnel must also step up training, how can others adapt to this new thing without teaching or talking?

All kinds of companies under the name of the three divisions are basically under the name of the Salt and Iron Division, and only some special ones, such as riverbank drainage canals, etc., are attributed to the Household Division. It is precisely because of this that the Salt and Iron Division now has four judges in charge of various items.

Guo is in charge of various industrial companies, as well as the invention and promotion of new technologies. This is what he is best at, and it may not be possible to do it with another person. This is not only technical work, but also personnel training, and various study classes are arranged by Guo Zheng.

Wang Gongchen came from the camp and was in charge of various agricultural companies and agricultural tools. It is obviously unrealistic for a single camp to govern the world's farms, and there is already a similar sugar business in Lingnan. Wang Gongchen's former camp and field affairs were limited to Jingxi Road and Jinghu Road, while Jingdong Road and Lianghuai were reorganized. Zhejiang, Jiangnan and so on are handled according to this, Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei three roads along the border, the situation is special, by the three transport envoys and the three divisions after consultation. The Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road itself has a large population, and there is no idle field, and the camp field does not involve there. All this is under the control of the salt and iron division, and it is under the name of Wang Gongchen.

Zeng Gongliang is in charge of various commercial companies, with Sansi Shop as the backbone. In addition to the three roads along the border, the north of the Yangtze River, including the two Huai and three divisions, has been opened to the county level, and the two Zhejiang and Jiangnan roads have just been opened to the state level. In the next year, the roads in Jiangnan, Lianghuai, Jinghu, Fujian, and Chuanxia will also be expanded to the county level, and other places, including the three roads along the border, will be extended to the state level, forming a supply and marketing network throughout the country. This supply and marketing network not only provides a supply of goods for shops in various places, but also wholesales to the outside world, so as to drive commercial activities in various places and initially form a large national market. This system is similar to the supply and marketing cooperative system in Xu Ping's previous life, and the important thing is not how many shopping malls there are, but to establish a national commodity circulation pattern. If this system can be successfully built, a unified national market will take shape. Therefore, Zeng Gongliang wants to cooperate with Han Zong's Bridge and Road Division, and at the same time as the establishment of the commercial system, it is also necessary to build a logistics system that reaches the whole country, and it is necessary to go deep into the state and county level. As for the rural areas below, they can only be handed over to the trading cooperatives established by various common people.

In addition, Zeng Gongliang also had to cooperate with the Privy Council to open up a large-scale road for transporting materials along the three roads, especially Shaanxi Road. Xu Ping didn't need the memory of his previous life to feel that the pace of the war in the northwest was approaching, and the most important thing in fighting in the northwest was money and food. To gather the world's money and grain to the Central Plains, and then transport it from the Central Plains to Shaanxi, transportation is very important.

The remaining Ye Qingchen was responsible for the overall coordination and handling the daily affairs of the Yamen of the Salt and Iron Division. He also has a job, that is, to organize and study various management techniques, and to hold various study classes and training courses with Guo Zheng. The improvement of labor productivity depends not only on the invention and improvement of production tools, but also on the continuous improvement of management technology. Scientific organization and management is also productivity, the development of productivity has not yet reached the conditions of large-scale assembly line production, part of the modular production and part of the assembly line production can always be done, the important thing is to constantly sum up lessons and lessons, and constantly improve.

It should be said that it is related to Xu Ping is the old chief of the Salt and Iron Division, and the current Salt and Iron Division is the core of the three divisions, and more than half of the government affairs in the capital are concentrated in the three divisions, and more than half of the government affairs of the three divisions are concentrated in the salt and iron division. In between, it is mainly to manage various companies.

Today, Xu Ping gathered the people of the Salt and Iron Division, and he went to the place where the company in the northwest of the city was concentrated to see how various study classes were doing. Due to the realities of this era, it was not easy to build a large-scale school system. In fact, in history, Wang Anshi changed the law, and once built a school system all over the country, but it did not play a role. It's just a different kind of imperial examination, and maybe there is no original imperial examination that can better select talents.

School is just a formality, and what is taught in it is what matters. Now the so-called education is only systematic only Confucian classics, and at most one medical education is added. Even medical education has been excluded from the orthodox collegiate education system. Xu Xi, the miracle doctor who saved Zhao Zhen's life the year before last, wanted to set up an institution to teach medicine, and the students of Guozijian jointly wrote a letter that they were not allowed to run in Guozijian, and could only be built in Bian Que Temple in the end.

Xu Ping didn't have the ability to come up with a scientific education system out of thin air, so he first used various companies to slowly explore in the form of study classes and training classes. As long as a scientific education system is formed, then it is logical to run all kinds of academic examples. And if it is initially in the company, it will not cause a backlash from readers.
