They are still waiting for Feng Shen and Zhao Feng to discuss these policies in a heated discussion!
After all, although they have listened to these policies in general, they still don't understand some of the key points.
In the end, Feng Shen just wondered where these expenses came from.
I just saw Feng Shen so seriously opposing these policies, so did he just ask these things?
Zhao Feng also felt a little funny in his heart, but he still said it very seriously.
"Prime Minister Feng, in fact, there is no need to consider these expenses at all."
When Zhao Feng talked about these things with Zhou Zhen before, he explained in great detail how these policies were operated and implemented, but this memorial was just an outline.
At this time, Zhao Feng said lightly.
"Perhaps you adults have been staying in the court and don't understand the following situations. Officials in many places usually don't have much to do. They often need to worry about some political achievements."
"Including the county government, there are also many government officials. Even if the militia policy is implemented, the militiamen can be involved in these things."
"Surveying land is a time-consuming task, but if the people below cooperate, it will not be too difficult to implement."
Upon hearing this, Feng Shen immediately caught the loophole in Zhao Feng's words and said straightforwardly.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid you have overestimated the ability of the officials below and their cooperation, right?"
Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand.
"Prime Minister Feng, listen to me, if there is no benefit to this matter, of course they will not do it, but we just need to give them some rewards."
"For example, if all the prefectures, counties, and counties in the world are counted together, the first person to make a clear count will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver!"
"The second person who counts clearly will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!"
"When it comes to third place, there are only one hundred taels here."
"In this way, the total cost is only one thousand six hundred taels, but it can make everyone work hard to be first!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the officials below couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They all widened their eyes in astonishment, never expecting that things could still be done like this.
If you hire someone to do statistics on this matter, you won't be able to figure it out clearly every year or so, and a lot of money will be spent in the process.
But according to Zhao Feng, it only takes such a small amount of money to solve this matter perfectly, and it can also bring other people together. This is simply unimaginable!
Zhou Zhen also nodded with great satisfaction. This is indeed a good method. Can this method also be used in performance evaluation in the future?
Zhao Feng continued.
"As for those people, if they don't want to cooperate, don't worry. We can first use newspapers to promote the benefits of this to these people. If they cooperate with this matter, we can also give them some nominal rewards. "
"For example, use some iron pieces with words engraved on them to reward those models. This is a reward from the court, and they will definitely cooperate fully to get this reward."
Zhao Feng's words once again shocked the adults. They had been in the court for a long time, and some had stayed in the court for more than ten or even twenty years.
But I never thought that there was such a way!
Generally speaking, if you want the local people to cooperate with some policies issued by the court, you first need to get the squires and wealthy families to cooperate. Only after these people are dealt with, the remaining people will cooperate together.
But it is very difficult to deal with these auspicious gods and wealthy families, because each of them is better than anyone else. If they do not get some practical benefits and benefits, they will definitely not willingly hand over the land in their hands.
But Zhao Feng's method showed them a way to solve the problem without spending money.
Whether they are country squires or wealthy people, they are all very face-conscious.
For them, this verbal reward may be more important than money.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many businessmen trying to get the status of an imperial merchant for their business.
The tributes they paid to the palace were not only free of charge, but sometimes they had to pay for them, in order to gain the status of the emperor and add some visibility to their business.
To put it bluntly, it’s still for the sake of face.
In this way, an iron plate of commendation from the imperial court means extraordinary things to those gentry and wealthy families!
The ministers below all clapped their hands and praised him.
"Awesome, you are worthy of Master Zhao!"
"I really never thought that there is such a way."
"Although this method may sound like a sideways approach, it is only this method that can have miraculous effects!"
After hearing the words of the officials behind him, Feng Shen couldn't help but nodded. Zhao Feng's method was indeed very good.
In this way, the problem of statistical land costs is directly solved.
Zhao Feng saw the expressions on their faces and continued directly.
"As for universal education, it doesn't cost much."
"In the entire Zhou Dynasty, there were actually quite a few people who could read, and most of these people were failed scholars, or people who were slightly educated but failed in repeated attempts."
"We can open some schools and recruit such people from various places. If they are willing to come over to teach, we can give them a chance to retake the imperial examination!"
"Including if you want to take the imperial examination in the future, not everyone can do it. You must have a specific identity."
Hearing this, the ministers all had confused expressions on their faces.
Especially the people from the four major families felt their hearts pounding. Some of them frowned and looked at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand suddenly and said.
"Although there are many officials who can pass the imperial examination, their official performance is really not very good. Why is this?"
"Because they only know how to study without practicing. Only after letting them practice can they gain true knowledge!"
"Teaching is a very good practical opportunity. It not only allows them to experience the poverty of people's lives, but also allows them to accumulate a lot of management experience."
"In addition to teaching, there are many professions that can also take the imperial examination. If you want to take the imperial examination in the future, you can't let everyone come."
