After careful preparation and planning, the Baoxue convoy officially set off to the counties.
It is said that before departure, there must be a ceremony, a speech on the hour, inspiring people, and looking forward to a bright future. However, considering the current situation, there is no ceremony. After confirming that everyone is here, we will set off directly. The Qingzhou camp has allocated A full three thousand soldiers and horses were deployed to provide security for this trip to protect the students.
Of course, this would be more dangerous if it were done by other armies.
Because it will bully the people.
The only thing worth talking about in the Qingzhou Battalion is military discipline, especially the soldiers brought out by the Cao family. The discipline can be said to be the best.
There was no choice but to send Cao's soldiers over.
Because the Qingzhou Battalion has only two tasks.
It’s either disaster relief or suppression!
The target is the Lanzhou disaster victims who are about to hit the border in the near future, and they need to be dealt with by the army with strict military discipline.
The emotions of disaster victims are extremely uncontrollable.
A small act may trigger a riot among the victims.
Moreover, at this juncture, the White Lotus Sect is also acting as a troublemaker.
The military must exercise extreme restraint.
Anyway, Chen Ze got a big advantage. With such a relatively disciplined team to cooperate, many problems can be solved easily.
The Tiger Talisman smells so good in my hand!
These ten thousand people can use it however they want, and there is no need to report it.
Of course, Cao Xiong will definitely report these things to the higher authorities, and it is impossible for the palace to not know about it.
It's too late to know.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away!
Even flying pigeons to send messages takes two or three days!
Even humans and pigeons are tired when they fly!
Are you not allowed to use the restroom in the service area to smoke a cigarette?
Anyway, by the time the news came through, people had already been on the road for two or three days.
Speaking of information transmission, Chen Ze also felt that the efficiency was too low.
But I didn't have the ability to rub a telegraph machine with my hands, and I didn't even know the principle.
The efficiency of flying pigeons to pass messages is actually not very high.
It’s not like releasing one pigeon at a time, but releasing a bunch of pigeons at a time, and there are various uncontrollable risks in the process.
Regardless of cost, an efficient and relatively instant information transmission method can still be devised, provided that the cement is removed.
The general assumption is that it is physical transfer.
For example, use metal wires to pull, and then design a sequence of twenty-six letters. Pull here and move there to form pinyin through alphabetical order. If you want to save costs, you can even try to use 0 and 1 to code, and there will be a corresponding translation text. Either way.
Cement is used for protection and anti-interference.
If it can really be realized, the speed of information transmission between Qingzhou Prefecture and various counties and cities will be almost overwhelming.
It's just that this thing may not be practical...the cost is huge.
To be honest, if we have that kind of money, we might as well add more inns, and raise dozens of fast horses at each inn, or raise a lot of homing pigeons.
But it is not meaningless. For example, it has a role in Qingzhou City, for instant transmission of messages.
Efficient linkage can also be carried out between various departments, eliminating ineffective steps, and the cost is relatively low.
The specifics still depend on the development situation. If there are conditions, you can naturally do it. If there are no conditions, forget it. There is no need to force it.
Of course, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.
Since it is equivalent to unconditional admission, the little beggars living on the streets are naturally included in the school's enrollment.
This number is not small. It is estimated that the number of people is about six to seven hundred, or even more.
It’s not just about sending children to school.
Because these little beggars who end up on the streets usually have no financial resources at home, and their parents most likely cannot take care of themselves.
There are many children like Huo Guanjun, and the whole family relies on the children to beg for food. Once the children are admitted to school, it means that the family has lost the most basic living security. How can the children go to school with peace of mind.
Therefore, to solve the little beggar's problem, we must also solve the other party's family dilemma.
It is definitely impossible to support him. The budget is almost exhausted at this time. Even the most basic living security, which is two cents per month for one person, is still a huge expense.
Moreover, you have supported so many families, so other adult beggars will feel unbalanced.
Why should we support them and not us?
Just because they can't take care of themselves! ?
If you go up there, break your own legs. You can support me, but I can no longer take care of myself!
When the time comes, the beggars gather together and start making trouble again.
There are at least three to four thousand beggars in the entire Qingzhou City. Once a wave of public opinion forms, even more poor families will join the ranks.
Therefore, we must not raise them, but find ways to let these people support themselves!
The problem is that Chen Ze currently cannot provide many jobs.
Aren’t cement plants and the like not opened yet?
It cannot be put into production before the technology is mature, and it will definitely suffer a loss until it has the ability to monetize.
Not to mention perfumes, soaps and the like. The market is so big that it will be impossible to digest the large amount of labor and cost invested in it.
Unless the national market is opened.
Now everyone is trying to find a way to solve the plight of these little beggar families.
Naturally, everyone will be happy if it can be solved. If it really cannot be solved, then it can only be shelved for now, and only when there is sufficient budget or plan in the future can the little beggars on the streets be recruited into the school.
Lu Qingyun and Lin Yuanchao actually disagreed, because the budget was already in a hurry, but Chen Ze still wanted to fight for it, but he couldn't think of a way to do it.
Sometimes it is really necessary to make a choice but not to have the best of both worlds.
"I suddenly understand the local government system now..." Chen Ze smiled bitterly: "There are only a hundred thousand people in Qingzhou! It is only the population of a modern ordinary county. No wonder most of the situations can only be done step by step, and sometimes even I was perfunctory and didn't dare to make big moves casually. There were really too many risks to consider if I wanted to achieve results..."
Li Yuankang on the side heard Chen Ze smiling bitterly and muttering to himself, and said hurriedly: "Master, don't tire yourself. Let's just take our time. Don't rush yourself."
"Well, that makes sense. Let's just mess it up for a day and give Lu Qingyun and the others a headache." Chen Ze suddenly thought of the country squire named Liu back then, and hurriedly said: "That guy I gave five hundred taels to at my birthday party. Nothing happened outside Yuan Liu?"
The other squires only gave one or two hundred taels, but Liu Yuanwai gave five hundred taels. Chen Ze remembered it quite clearly.
"Master, you didn't arrange for anyone to come over either!"
"I was too busy, and I neglected it for a moment." Chen Ze stood up decisively: "Take twenty special agents and I will go to the countryside with the young master to work at the grassroots level!"
