Su Yonglin went south and learned about the development status of Daming Station along the way.
In fact, from folk rumors, we can know whether the food quality of Daming Station is really good or not. Otherwise, it is not enough to become famous among the people, so that in some places, "Inn cuisine" other than palace cuisine has begun to spread.
In terms of specific development, Su Yonglin learned that due to the fine financial management of the station management system under the Ministry of Finance and the strict auditing of the audit department, although the level of food and drink has improved a lot, the money spent has not increased much.
Many high-quality ingredients are purchased from collective farms in the surrounding areas of the inn. The distance to the inn is short and the transportation cost is low. We can directly negotiate with the collective farms. If you purchase a large quantity, you can get a discount, so you will spend less money. .
In addition, because the Ming Dynasty cultivated and appointed a large number of mathematical talents, a large number of mathematical talents were often invested in the management of the inns.
They will estimate the flow of people at a certain station based on statistical results over a long period of time, and judge the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day based on the flow of people and the menu content reported by the station, and then use this as the main criterion to guide the purchasing department of the station. Purchase quantity and frequency.
After more precise calculations, the station has made great improvements in the purchase, storage and utilization of food, which has greatly saved a sum of money in food waste, making Lin Jingchun very special. Happy.
For this reason, the Ministry of Finance also paid bonuses to the management departments of the stations.
After Su Yonglin entered Shandong, he was greeted by a team arranged by Wang Hongjin, the governor of Shandong Province.
Originally, Wang Hongjin wanted to come over to greet him, but Su Yonglin refused, telling Wang Hongjin to handle government affairs in peace and not to distract him. He also had official business to do when he came here, and they would naturally meet him then.
So Wang Hongjin did not come in person, but arranged for Ren Pengyi, the director of the Shandong Public Security Bureau, and Song Rui, the deputy director of the Propaganda Branch of the Shandong Renaissance Society, to greet Su Yonglin and arrange some things for him.
Ren Pengyi and Song Rui were waiting for Su Yonglin at the Xinzhen Station in Jinan Prefecture. After Su Yonglin and his entourage of more than 500 people arrived, they held a reception banquet for Su Yonglin.
Because they knew that Su Yonglin didn't like extravagance and waste, they just followed the standards of the inn and asked the inn to prepare ingredients for Su Yonglin in advance. According to the standard of four dishes and one soup for four people, Su Yonglin greeted Su Yong and shared a table with Ren Pengyi and Song Rui. .
Two meat dishes, namely mutton stir-fried with green onions and lion's head, two vegetarian dishes, stir-fried green leafy vegetables and dried green onions, plus an egg soup, which did not exceed the quality of the inn's hospitality.
So Su Yonglin was quite satisfied and asked everyone to work together.
After eating a few big mouthfuls to relieve his hunger, Su Yonglin began to eat slowly, while chatting with Ren Pengyi and Song Rui.
Ren Pengyi was an official who had just been transferred to Shandong from the Central Capital Cabinet to form the public security department. He was close to Su Yonglin, and he reported on his work achievements in Shandong during the meal.
Su Yonglin expressed satisfaction when he learned that he had basically completed the establishment of the Public Security Bureau of Shandong Province and had begun to establish branches in various states.
“I proposed the establishment of the public security department, because relying solely on the old unorganized teams to maintain security is feasible when the population is small, but with the development of the Ming Dynasty, the population will continue to rise.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the population was less than 60 million. Now twelve years have passed and the population has grown greatly. In the tenth year of Hongwu, the population of the Ming Dynasty had reached 160 million. It will also continue to grow. Obvious.
In the past, a county with a population of hundreds of thousands was considered a large county, and a county with a population of tens of thousands was not considered a small county. There were also counties with a population of less than 10,000. This situation is gone forever. In the future, A county with a population of 2.3 million or 3.5 million is normal.
Therefore, we urgently need a professional public security department to maintain local order and ensure people's daily life and life safety. Your responsibilities are very important. You must treat this matter with caution and never slack off. "
Ren Pengyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Next came Song Rui. Facing Song Rui, Su Yonglin's expression became more serious.
"This time, there is a big problem with your propaganda in Shandong. Regarding these problems, I hope you can be alert and make improvements. Do you understand?"
Song Rui looked ashamed and nodded repeatedly.
From the perspective of publicity outlets in Shandong, Su Yonglin's appearance here is, in a sense, wiping their propaganda outlets' butt. If the propaganda department had not responded to this public opinion crisis in time, the situation would not have reached this point. .
As the deputy director, he was aware of the dangers of Su Yonglin's visit to Shandong.
So he was quite ashamed.
"My entire department has deeply reflected on this mistake, and we have accomplished all the things you told us."
Before Su Yonglin set off, he instructed the Shandong Propaganda Bureau to make daily broadcasts of his itinerary, inform the people of Shandong of Su Yonglin's whereabouts, tell them where Su Yonglin had gone, and tell them that Su Yonglin was approaching them and on his way to see them.
Because after receiving such news, even if the restless people still had doubts, they had to be affected by such a detailed and accurate journey report. As a result, the public opinion that had gradually heated up before was controlled to a certain extent, and some discordant voices were quieted down. A lot.
Before the news of Su Yonglin going south to Shandong came out, rumors such as "Go to Zhongdu to seek explanations from people who betrayed the revolution" had even appeared in Yizhou and Juzhou areas, which also affected a considerable number of people and made them angry.
This situation occurred not only among the public groups, but also in the grassroots organizations of the Renaissance Association in various collective farms. Many cadres were worried about Su Yonglin's safety and the situation in Zhongdu, and they felt anxious.
Affected by them, militia teams affiliated with collective farms in some areas have even begun war preparations, and are ready to take real action.
As an old revolutionary area, as the place where Su Yonglin started and the main source of his army, there is no doubt that the Shandong Han men have always been very powerful.
In particular, it is also the place where collective farms and industrial factories were first deployed. It has the highest proportion of collective farms and industrial workers in the country. Coupled with the experienced grassroots organizations of the Renaissance, Shandong's grassroots mobilization power ranks first in the country. .
"First Evolution"
In the previous Northern Expedition of the Liberation Army and the Southern Expedition of the Ming Army, large-scale Shandong transportation forces were used each time. Shandong mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to help the army transport logistical supplies. There was no mistake, which shows the strong mobilization power of Shandong.
This time the rumors spread so widely that some grassroots organizations of the Renaissance were incited and became suspicious of Su Yonglin's decision to abdicate. They also had distrust in China and felt that Su Yonglin was in danger.
Therefore, there are frequent contacts between grassroots organizations, and they are quite willing to stir up the situation and go to China to see Su Yonglin. Although there are different views on this within the grassroots organizations, they do not support the use of force and try their best to organize, but the power of rumors is really Very scary.
Before the news of Su Yonglin's move south reached Shandong, such voices appeared in some county-level revival organizations.
It wasn't until news of Su Yonglin's southern tour came to Shandong, and Su Yonglin's route south was updated once a day, that this voice was temporarily suppressed.
