Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 621 Bulletin Board

Li Shimin and his concubines all went back sweaty. Some things, you only know the fun after participating in them. This is why the aunts and uncles of later generations are so keen on this activity.

After taking a bath, Li Shimin had a very comfortable sleep. Singing and dancing was indeed the best exercise for relieving stress. Early the next morning, Li Shimin, who was refreshed, put on his makeup after breakfast. Go to Jiuyuan County Government Office.

Empress Changsun asked Yu Xiuer to go to the pond outside the city to enjoy lotus flowers. How could she allow a dance to be given up only halfway through it!
It is said that the lotus pond here is not like those small ponds in Guanzhong, and it is most appropriate to describe its scale with "the endless green lotus leaves in the sky".It just so happened that she could experience the artistic conception of the song and dance last night.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to look at the people's livelihood here? If you go to the county government, I'm afraid the people in the whole county will know that you're here."

After all, Jiuyuan County is not big, and the straight-line distance in any direction is only tens of miles. Usually, a government order is issued in the morning, and it will be communicated to the subordinate towns in the afternoon at the latest. Moreover, every morning, in front of the county government office The most lively place, because the latest announcements and announcements will be posted here.

"Sun Zhengming has always spared no effort to enrich the people. Therefore, I don't need to look at the people's livelihood in Jiuyuan County to know. It will only be better than what I see, and there are long-term plans. As for the news of my arrival in Jiuyuan County , isn't Sun Dali not as good as Yu Zhen?"

"It is."

Changsun Chun nodded, then remembered those textbooks, and said, "Jiuyuan County has read those textbooks before, and the chief supervisor has read them before. Because of their daily expenses, learning textbooks, etc., all are provided by Jiuyuan County. The chamber of commerce provided it, so the chief supervisor did not impose any restrictions on its teaching content, if you feel that there is a problem, the minister can immediately issue an order to ask magistrate Sun to urge the county school to revise it."

Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "After reading the textbooks in Jiuyuan County last night, I realized a lot. In the future, because of its unique education method, many powerful talents will emerge here. At this age, the content of what I have learned already includes the knowledge of most ordinary people's survival. I can't imagine how far I will learn in middle school in the future.

However, this is a kind of education method that is different from Confucianism, which is based on ideology. Instead, it uses part of Confucianism as the foundation, but pays more attention to making all people's ability to survive in this world stronger. A brand new doctrine.

This kind of theory is no longer just a weak prototype. Once it explodes, it may push my Tang Dynasty to a higher peak. I am going to Jiuyuan County just to see if the system here can help I will manage a larger and more complex country in the future. "

Is it because of its military strength that Li Tang can stand out from many insurgents?Absolutely not.

At that time, there were many separatist forces with stronger military power than Li Tang, but they were defeated by Li Tang in the end. This was because Li Tang's political ability was stronger than all other separatist forces. Talents with vision and political ambitions, the popular support of the general public, and so on are war capitals.

This is also the reason why during the Three Kingdoms period, all heroes rose together, but only Cao Cao became stronger and stronger in repeated failures.

Therefore, Li Tang, who has created an excellent political system and won the hearts of the people, won the world. Therefore, after Li Shimin came to power, he has always paid more attention to internal governance, and all the more capable civil servants have gathered in the Li Tang court.

He understands that if the country is not well governed, no matter how large the territory is, no matter how strong the military is, it will eventually fail. Therefore, after he took office, Sun Xiangfu or other ministers proposed a series of light taxes for him, exempting him from corvee labor. He agrees with all the policies and implements them. Up to now, the effect has been shown. However, these methods used in the past have almost come to an end now.

For example, corvee labor has now been completely exempted, and poll tax is also completely exempted. In the next few years, even land tax will be completely exempted.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, the country has reached the extreme when it does this.

However, Li Shimin didn't think so, because after Jiuyuan County's free medical care, free education, and free old-age security came out, Li Shimin couldn't even guess what welfare policies they had behind them.

It can be seen that Datang is still far from the ultimate, and he still needs to learn to raise his own structure to a higher level.

The biggest difference between a capable person and a mediocre person is that he knows what he should learn and what he should do, and they will learn it the fastest and best, and do it well.

Li Shimin is a very capable person, so he doesn't want to delay.

Not long after, he had already arrived at the gate of the county government office. Outside the gate, there were no giant stone sculptures such as unicorns and lions, but a bulletin board on the left and right.

For this kind of public announcement system, Changsun Wuji once explained in detail to Li Shimin in the memorial that Li Shimin knows how many benefits it has. Today, he just wants to take a look at this system through his daily work in Jiuyuan County. side of the real situation.

The first situation is that there are so many people in Jiuyuan County who will read the announcement. Although Li Shimin came late and did not squeeze into the front row, he can clearly see the stickers on it. They are all forms with numbers written on them. This novel counting and statistics method has only been gradually used by the imperial court in the past two years. Those who know how to make and read tables can basically be qualified for many positions in Chang'an or Weinan.

As an emperor, there is no need to squeeze among the common people for the data that he can see at any time. Seeing that Sun Chun wanted to speak, Li Shimin said first, "Remember, just call me master."

Hearing this, Changsun Chun knew that he still didn't want to reveal his identity, so he let him watch outside the yamen.

Li Shimin picked a bulletin board with relatively few people gathered, and stepped forward to look at it.

I saw the big word "News" written on the top of the head, and the following content reads, "The output of fish in spring is relatively abundant. Every two days at the Jiuyuan River Wharf, there are fish vendors who collect fish on a fixed-point basis. Two catties Scale fish above is worth two Wen a catty, loach regardless of size, five Wen a catty, eel half a catty less than eight Wen, half a catty more than ten Wen, you want to live or die. '

The lotus root belt has entered a rich production period. Every day at the Jiuyuan River Wharf, there are vendors who buy it for an hour.
There are at least dozens of messages on the whole page of the news column, all of which record similar content. After reading each item, Li Shimin sighed in his heart. I am afraid that only Jiuyuan County, the county government in the whole world, will find a way to help rule it. The people better convert the output into economic value. Just by reading the news on this message board, he knows that as long as the people under the rule of Jiuyuan County have land and produce, it is impossible for them to be poor.

Then, Li Shimin saw a bulletin board next to it, with a big "Lost and Found" written on it.

There are also dozens of items on it, such as money bags, sachets, clothes, jade pendants, and even children. Li Shimin hasn't finished reading it yet!Inside the yamen, a young couple led a three or four-year-old boy out. The young couple thanked the yamen servant who sent them out, and then left with the child.

It turned out that when they went to the vegetable market to sell vegetables in the morning, the business was too good and they didn't pay attention to the children. As a result, the little boy who was playing in the market was crowded into another street by the crowd, lost his way, and couldn't find the little boy with his parents. Crying loudly, he was immediately discovered by the patrolmen in the market and brought back to the yamen.

Later, the parents, who had reacted, went to the Yamen to report the case. They happened to know that there was a lost child here, and it was their child, so they went through the formalities and brought him back.

Similar things happen every two or three days in the county town, and even several times in one night. Sometimes a large family comes out to dance in the square and take a walk at night. Many people have too many children to take care of them. It's easy to get lost, but when something like this happens, as long as adults like them go to the yamen to report the crime as soon as possible, they can basically bring the child back. The dozens of patrols in the yamen are there to do these security work.

Sure enough, after the couple left, the yamen servant wrote the words 'closed' behind the message on the bulletin board.

Li Shimin knew that these yamen servants must have a way to identify the owner, but he was curious about the security situation in Jiuyuan County with such a dense population, so he said to the yamen servant, "I'm a merchant from another place. I want to come to Jiuyuan County." The county does business, I don’t know, how is your local law and order?”

Hearing this, the yamen servant gave a friendly smile and said, "Needless to say, the law and order in our Jiuyuan County is the best in the entire Tang Dynasty. Have you seen that, the county court judges the case over there?" Do you know how long it has been since they had a court session? It has been more than three months, that is, more than three months ago, it was two foreign businessmen who got into a dispute because of something, and they got into a fight, and they were sent to our county court nearby The trial allowed them to find something to do. We locals in Jiuyuan County have never committed crimes and provoked troubles, so ah! Their bulletin board has not been updated for more than three months myself."

More than three months ago, that was before the Spring Festival. That is to say, since the seventh year of Zhenguan, counting outsiders, so far, there has not been a single crime of public security here. This is 10,000 households, [-] + People's Shangxian!The number of security cases has been able to maintain a record of zero for more than three months. That is not the case in Datang, even in the whole world, it is the best!
"How is this possible!"

Li Shimin subconsciously said something, and the yamen servant was not happy, saying, "Our local fellows plan to live here for generations. , we receive them with a service attitude, so naturally we will not have conflicts with them, just like you, a businessman from other places, if you really want to do business in this county, then, in the county government, you must have a cup of good tea Our yamen has a special department for receiving foreign merchants. You can talk to them if you want to receive goods, sell goods, or open a store. They will definitely provide you with some help. How about it? Would you like to go in with me? ?”

When the yamen servant said this, Li Shimin finally knew how the commercial news on the message board came from. I am afraid that this so-called department responsible for receiving foreign merchants communicated with those foreign merchants to finalize the agreement. There is no insider trading, let the petty officials under the government corrupt the law, but you can take this opportunity to find out.

It just so happened that this way he could enter the yamen without revealing his identity, so he nodded and entered the county yamen together with Changsun Chun and two guards who also did not reveal their identities.
