MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2682 Guizi Juan Dachaoyi, debut (4)

  The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture was suggested by Feng Ziying.

  In fact, throughout the dynasties, although the imperial court has kept paying attention to agriculture, it has focused more on land, food prices, and meeting the needs of the people. Other specific agricultural affairs have been mostly undertaken by local governments.

  At the central level, more attention is paid to food security and tax collection. As long as there is enough food, the price does not skyrocket, and the people do not rebel and riot because of the lack of food, then everything will be fine.

   This is also a manifestation of the typical feudal dynasty government government governing social affairs.

The emergence of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn is an opportunity, and the promotion in the north has achieved gratifying results, especially in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Liaodong. These three new products come in handy and can largely make up for the old three products—wheat , corn, and rice occupy a dominant position but have defects in mountainous areas, river beaches, and scattered terrain that are not suitable for geographical and geological environments.

Whether it is Qi Yongtai, Gu Bingqian, Guan Huangqiao and others have to admit that these new crops from so-called Western medicine have greatly improved the plight of food shortage and lack of land in the north, especially in Shanshan and Liaodong. The adaptability has made the government feel like a treasure when it encounters floods and droughts, and it has spared no effort in its promotion over the past few years.

  Even if there are still many people who are not used to the taste of new crops, but in the face of the reality that filling their stomachs is more important than anything else, potatoes and sweet potatoes are simply superior delicacies compared to grass roots, bark and Guanyin soil.

The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture can largely focus on this area of ​​work from the central level, such as the cultivation of new crops, research on land and soil, planning of newly cultivated land, food security and reserves will also be transferred from the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Households focuses more on tax collection and use.

   This has been blown to the important ministers before, which means that it will be implemented soon.

  There is not much controversy about the candidate for the Minister of Agriculture.

  Feng Ziying strongly recommended Xu Guangqi.

  Xu Guangqi from Songjiang is considered a different kind among the scholars in Southern Zhili. He doesn't make friends with scholars very much, and his hobbies are also inclined to study things and agriculture, so he is also a bit out of place among the scholars in Jiangnan.

  But everyone agrees that this person is a person who does practical things, especially because the three new crops were all introduced and cultivated by him. No one can deny this achievement.

   After all, he is also a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, and Gu Bingqian and Huang Ruliang also recognized it, so when Feng Ziying recommended him, Qiao Yingjia, who was originally dissatisfied with Xu Guangqi's Catholicism, acquiesced.

  Feng Ziying was not very interested in several cabinet ministers successively expressing their political views on their own affairs.

  I have read it a long time ago, and I have also communicated with them long ago, and put forward some of my own views. To be precise, there are many of my own views mixed in these political views.

Guan Yingzhen supplemented and explained Gu Bingqian’s examination method, the Ministry of Rites’s exploration of Gewu arithmetic education as a supplement to classics, righteousness and poetry, Huang Ruliang’s exploratory opinions on taxation system reform, and Qiao Yingjia’s proposal to further strengthen and improve Some opinions on infrastructure construction are more or less influenced by Feng Ziying.

There is no way, if we follow the old ways, it will be difficult to show the new atmosphere of the new cabinet, and Feng Ziying has always subtly suggested some new ways, and these cabinet ministers also have their own staff and senior counselors, who intercept and process it themselves , Mix it with routine affairs, and take it out, and it becomes their own thing.

  Feng Ziying is also happy to see the success.

   There is no need to take all the limelight on your own head. In his position to seek his own government, some of his ideas and opinions on military affairs are enough to make people look sideways.

  The test method is the main part of the discussion.

Although we have communicated with the Ministry of Officials and officials of various ministries before, the scope of the examination method is too broad, and it is mainly based on local officials. The work of almost all ministries must be included, and the future must be discussed with the cabinet. One year or even several years of work planning is linked, so it is quite complicated.

Each department will put forward its own views and opinions on its own jurisdiction and work, and at the same time, it must be carried out in conjunction with the implementation of provinces, governments, states, and counties. It involves many detailed actions, and it is even more necessary for each department to come up with Specific operating specifications and assessment rules.

  The discussion and discussion on the test method alone lasted for an hour, so when it was time to eat at noon, it was only Guan Yingzhen's turn to make supplements.

   After a short break in the afternoon, we will continue.

It is very rare to have a big court meeting, especially when the new cabinet expounds its own policy outline, everyone should watch and listen with wide-eyed eyes, try to listen to it as much as possible, and at the same time, if it involves their own interests, they must also raise it without hesitation. Fight for your own interests.

   When it was Feng Ziying's turn to talk about military affairs, it was already time.

"Ziying, it seems that what you are preparing is probably going to be a night battle. How about having dinner first?" Guan Yingzhen joked with a smile: "Ziying is new here, and I have prepared a lot of content for everyone, not only related to military affairs, In other words, the content that has a lot to do with military affairs should also be mentioned meaningfully, and everyone is probably very interested, so I have to ask everyone to be patient and come back after dinner..."

Feng Ziying also did not expect that this discussion of the Great Court Council would be so intense and full. It should be said that there has never been such a way to achieve it before. It may have something to do with Gu Bingqian's relatively weak status as the chief assistant, and Guan Huang and others also intend to It is necessary to use this method to reflect its own existence, which is why this scene appeared.

However, Feng Ziying doesn't care too much about it. Since he is sitting in this position, he must come up with all his ideas. They established in their hearts that they will always be the creators of the deafening and thought-provoking speeches in this cabinet, and they are also the leaders of the trend of this era.

As long as this concept is established in the minds of these important ministers, and they are constantly aware of the benefits and benefits brought by this new concept in the process of governance, then every time they propose a new step in the future, they will not be subconscious. to object, preferring to try it out first and see if it benefits from it.

  With this kind of mental set, you will face less resistance and get support more easily if you push forward anything in the future.

"When it comes to military affairs, you must be thinking about the army. You may feel that now that the internal and external troubles have disappeared, what should we do with the huge army? Especially the frontier army... Then we need to consider our big Zhou Where should this carriage go in the future, and how should it go, in order to make the scenery in front of this carriage more beautiful and the road wider,..."

  If it is said that Gu Bingqian only mentioned the vision for the next five years, then Feng Ziying directly lifted the lid, directly touching the direction and goals of Dazhou for the next ten or hundred years.
