If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Sheng Yuan thought so.
So the workshop opened two more workshops, specializing in studying how to improve agricultural implements, tools and weapons.
If possible, Shengyuan would be happy to arrange more manpower to improve seeds and crops. However, Shou'an City has neither the talent reserve nor the favorable conditions in this area, so it has to give up temporarily.
However, the plan to increase the income of the rural people has been put on the agenda.
Soon, the government's propaganda team began another round of work in the countryside.
"In the countryside and mountains, men, women and children, listen up! If you are willing to go to the mountains to collect herbs, the government will be responsible for purchasing them! Girls, whether married or not, if you want to learn a trade, you can sign up at the village ancestral hall tomorrow!" No! When the propaganda team composed of college students arrived, the heads of each department first asked the village chiefs under their jurisdiction to convey the message.
Although the propaganda team is only responsible for publicity and has little to do with the subsequent implementation of policies, the last round of rectification of social studies also included cleaning up the poor families, which caused the villages and ethnic groups to more or less shed their skin, and thus As for now, when I heard that Fucheng had sent a propaganda team, the village chiefs and village chiefs below helped them finish their work first.
There is no way, who makes the master in the government office so scary!
If you don't agree with each other, you'll be punished!
Tears welled up in the eyes of the village chiefs and village chiefs when they thought that the government official they had never met had just taken office and would still have to live in her hands for a long time.
Sheng Yuan didn't know that his name could already scare the villagers. When he heard the official students from the propaganda team came back to complain, saying, "The rural village completed the work tasks conveyed by the government one step ahead of them, leaving them without the benefits they had received earlier." After experiencing the "sense of achievement", I couldn't help but sigh that the people here are simple and positive, aware and enterprising.
It is now the third and a half months since Sheng Yuan took office in Shou'an City. Although she has not been in office for a long time, the work of the government office is proceeding in an orderly manner under her arrangements.
Today's official office is no longer what it used to be. After the new official system regulations implemented by Shengyuan, government officials are no longer lazy and shirkful and overstaffed, driven by similar performance appraisals and competitive recruitment.
As for Hufang, due to the addition of an accounting team directly under the leadership of Fu Yin, the financial accounts are now extremely clear and true.
The main people at the other end of the ceremony room now are the management of the official school and the cultivation of talents. From the government school to the social school, men and women are treated equally. In order to greatly increase the academic atmosphere in Fucheng, Shengyuan Shengfu Yin even formulated a special rule. Anyone who achieved the reputation of a scholar, regardless of male or female, would be awarded twenty silver coins by the government office.
The temptation of twenty taels of silver is enough for social studies students to get support from their families.
And such a high reward is enough to give people a glimpse of the lack of talent here!
Of course, those who felt most distressed by such a large amount of expenditure were not the officials in the households, but the heads of the families with eight surnames and twelve families who reacted the most.
Although these funds are no longer directly allocated from their accounts, they also come from the high taxes they pay, which makes me feel sick just thinking about it.
Therefore, I don't know where the wind blows from, saying that as soon as this order came out, "men and women are not reborn in the countryside, only talented people and rich beetles are valued; so far, family ties are not warm and pure, and they are all based on interests."
In response to this, Sheng Yuan laughed and said: "The reason for judging one's strengths and weaknesses by studying is because of interests; then, a matter like favoring boys over girls, which is related to the inheritance of incense, is not an interest? Since it is all about interests, the latter Only women suffer, while in the former men and women who have not learned well suffer together, so the former is better. At the very least, treat everyone equally and treat them equally!"
As soon as these words came out, all the small words stopped. Everyone was afraid that the energetic Lord Fu Yin would come up with strange ideas, and then it would be the honest people like them who would be troubled.
The affairs in the ceremonial room have been smoothed out, and all official duties in the workshop have been fully arranged.
Build official roads, build trails, build city walls, clean up tunnels, clean up unused houses, clean up various fortresses... In short, the main focus of Shou'an City now is repair.
For those who are responsible for participating in labor, except for the previously confiscated labor, the remaining participants are all paid labor.
The government offered him ten coppers a day, including three meals and clothing and tools, which immediately attracted many hardworking villagers.
What motivated the people the most was the propaganda team’s tireless preaching:
Official roads were built to keep the people well-informed, trails were built to allow for the proper transportation of mountain medicinal materials and labor items, city walls were built to resist foreigners, tunnels were cleaned to prevent thieves from coming in and out, and idle houses were cleaned to help beggars and rogues keep out the cold during the winter. , Cleaning up the fortress is to prevent bandits and strongmen from sneaking in and looting.
These lectures gave the common people the feeling of "taking the money from the government office to help themselves benefit", which immediately increased their motivation and greatly improved their work efficiency.
The fortifications were being worked on in full swing, and the actual results changed day by day, which greatly benefited Shengyuan's next arrangements.
"It's time to adopt a policy of tightening internally and loosening externally to control the entry and exit of city gate personnel." Looking at the work reports of each room, Sheng Yuan dropped a black stone on the chessboard.
