Su Yonglin told Xin Qiji the secret method of contacting Su Changsheng, and asked Xin Qiji not to contact Su Changsheng as chief of staff, but to contact Su Changsheng, the Jiaxing branch of the Renaissance Society, as deputy prime minister of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and deputy director of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Contact the director.
Not only could they exchange intelligence issues, but they could also let Su Changsheng explain to Xin Qiji the social class contradictions and current situation within the Southern Song Dynasty in detail.
This helped Xin Qiji gain a deeper understanding of the corruption and depravity of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Xin Qiji understood.
"By the way, if you want to go to Lin'an, remember to go to the shopping street next to Zhong'an Bridge. There are many delicious things on the street."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, there are crispy yellow cakes, fried white sausages, mutton fat leek cakes, braised chicken legs, almond cakes, ten-color flower candy, and... yes, there are also The snail soup with clear juice is delicious."
Su Yonglin suddenly remembered the night before leaving Lin'an, when he and Su Yong were looking for food together on Lin'an Street.
And the bowl of hot and fragrant snail soup with clear juice.
"Remember, find a street stall that specializes in selling snail soup with clear juice. The stall owner is a middle-aged man, small in stature, who talks with a smile on his face, and is very kind."
Xin Qiji blinked and realized that Su Yonglin was actually from Song Dynasty, and he might be quite familiar with Lin'an.
"Is Your Majesty asking me to find someone? The stall owner selling snail soup with clear juice? Is he one of ours?"
"He's not a special person, he's just a stall owner."
Su Yonglin smiled and said with full of nostalgia on his face: "On the last night before I left Lin'an, I made an agreement with him that if I can return to Lin'an in the future, I must go to his place for another bowl of clear juice. Tianluofeng, although I can’t go back now, you can go and help me see if his stall is still there.”
Xin Qiji suddenly realized.
Su Yonglin is full of nostalgia.
So he nodded immediately.
"I understand, I will definitely find this stall for Your Majesty."
On November 21, the first year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin sent someone to convey the news to the Southern Song Dynasty that he was about to send an envoy to Lin'an to discuss important matters with the Southern Song Dynasty, and asked the Southern Song Dynasty to be prepared to accept it.
Then Xin Qiji's envoy went directly to Haizhou. As soon as the note from the Southern Song Dynasty arrived, they would immediately enter the Southern Song Dynasty and start negotiations with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Negotiations on Suigong.
After Xin Qiji set off, Su Yonglin suddenly remembered that it was winter, and there should be no clear snail soup in winter.
Xin Qiji was afraid that he would not be able to find the clear snail soup this time.
Alas, what a pity.
Su Yonglin shook his head, thinking that he would only be able to have another bowl of clear snail soup when he led his army south to Lin'an.
After that, while dealing with state affairs, Su Yonglin also held several central meetings of the Renaissance to listen to the internal organizational reports of the Renaissance.
According to a report from the Organization Department of the Renaissance Association, the Renaissance Association began to vigorously develop itself since Su Yonglin established a foothold in Zhongdu last October.
In accordance with Su Yonglin's request, in addition to the continuous construction of village-level farmers' associations, the Fuxing Association also vigorously promoted the construction of township-level farmers' associations, merging five, six, seventy-eight, or even a dozen villages into one township. Continuous promotion can lead to higher-level tasks. A level of administrative talent.
And the operation was very successful.
According to data, from October last year to the present, through the cooperation of the Central Organization Department of the Renaissance Association and the Ministry of Official Affairs of the Imperial Court, the Renaissance Association has continuously arranged for suitable candidates to serve as local county magistrates.
The counties in these places are basically counties that were destroyed in the war.
Its original political ecology was broken, and its core power was empty. The Fuxing Association decisively entered into the reorganization of the ecology, and then dispatched qualified Fuxing members to serve as county magistrates, and a Fuxing County was born.
After these personnel take office, they will also arrange for young members trained by the Renaissance Association to serve in county positions and take charge of the county government from top to bottom.
Relying on this method, the Fuxing Association has so far controlled 152 of the 668 counties in the country. Not counting this, it has also established more than 500 township-level peasant associations.
These organizations cover almost 80% of all administrative villages currently controlled by the Renaissance.
In other words, so far, the second-level local organization under the control of the Fuxing Association is close to taking shape.
According to reports from the Ministry of General Affairs, this group of township-level administrative talents and village-level administrative talents have strong administrative and executive capabilities, and can basically complete the instructions issued by the Central Committee of the Renaissance.
They abolished exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, successfully carried out literacy campaigns in the countryside, distributed land, held grievance meetings and public trials, and successfully wrested these farmers from the hands of the traditional gentry and reorganized the farmers.
Organized, they are completely different from the past.
While practicing literacy, revival members repeatedly preached the idea of resistance to them and showed them a panoramic view of how the landlords and gentry exploited them, letting them know that their poverty and hunger were caused by exploitation and oppression, not natural disasters. To.
After more or less understanding of their situation, farmers generally began to wake up, and not only their enthusiasm for production was greatly increased, but their enthusiasm for learning was also greatly improved.
After they know a certain amount of words and have basic literacy skills, they can continuously provide qualified reserve forces for the army and the Renaissance.
Therefore, among the 515 township-level peasant associations in the first-year performance review, only five were demoted due to unqualified performance, while the remaining 510 were all qualified.
In other words, so far, the Fuxing Association has used a very direct method, time and practice to successfully cultivate a group of talents who can take charge of agricultural and civil affairs in a township, forming a sustainable positive cycle.
The Fuxing Association already has a considerable number of grassroots administrative talents who can complete local administrative work, which means that the maturity of the Fuxing Association has taken a huge step forward.
This also proves that Su Yonglin's method is feasible.
Although Su Yonglin cannot provide them with elite-level educational resources, outstanding talents can emerge from these people who have only received relatively basic cultural education and political and ideological education, and they can successfully govern thousands of people.
Although it may take talent and luck to continue to be the leader of a county, and only about a hundred people stand out among the many village-level instructors and township-level farmers' association presidents, the second-level rural organizations below the county level have already taken shape.
Facts have proved that there is no need for rural gentry. Relying on the power of the Renaissance Association can also help the country to control the grassroots villages well, allowing them to directly provide power to the central government, so that the central government can mobilize their power to do major things.
Moreover, the administrative talents trained in this way can also produce a group of talents who can cope with county-level administrative agencies and can support the administrative tasks of a county.
Therefore, the administration of these 152 Fuxing counties has so far become the real basic iron plate for Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin was quite happy about this.
But he was not satisfied.
"The focus of the current work is on the one hand to continue to expand the construction of rural second-level farmers' associations in non-Guanzhong areas, and on the other hand to vigorously promote the construction of second-level farmers' associations in Guanzhong area and the construction of Fuxing County. These two aspects of work must be promoted quickly."
Tian Guizi, Prime Minister of the Central Committee of the Renaissance Association, made a concluding speech on this stage of work at the meeting.
"The land of Guanzhong has just been cleansed by war, and a large number of local officials and landlords and gentry have been purged. Therefore, a considerable part of Guanzhong is now in a state that is very suitable for us to enter. We must seize the time to send qualified political workers into Guanzhong and organize Rural areas, strive for large-scale expansion of the number of Fuxing counties in Guanzhong."
Su Yonglin agreed with this.
"Guanzhong has just gone through a war and is still in the ascendant. It is feasible to push forward vigorously at this time. We must organize a group of reliable manpower to enter Guanzhong as soon as possible. We cannot be slow. Gezi, in terms of manpower, there should be enough, right?"
"It's definitely not enough, but if we slightly reduce the number of central personnel, we can barely squeeze out a group of people to rush to Guanzhong quickly. It will not be difficult to build the first batch of Fuxing counties."
Tian Guizi said: "After these years of work, we have summarized a set of effective working methods. As long as we have time, everything else is not a problem."
Su Yonglin felt very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.
