He said that Gu Xiaozi knew that Jurong had made great achievements in governance and should have been promoted. There are many things that can only be done without the words in a sentence. I will teach you how to do things well every time you keep the words in the sentence.
There is no one in the official department who can recommend county magistrates, chief administrators, and historians, so I recommend them myself. Take good care of the people and don't worry about your family. We'll leave it to Muying to take care of you.
Admire this.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the document and felt a little depressed.
Lao Zhu, you don’t know how to get an imperial edict. If it doesn’t work, just put a seal on it. It’s just black and white words on paper, without even a signature or seal, so what’s the value of collecting it?
Twenty-five years later, if someone tells someone this is your masterpiece, who will believe it...
Gu Zhengchen looked at the document and laughed.
Nowadays, there is a great shortage of talents in the imperial court. At this time, many counties in the Ming Dynasty did not even have county magistrates. Only people such as chief registrars and county magistrates supported the situation. Even if there were talents, they were only close to Jinling, provinces, prefectures, and Jurong. Such a small county and the Ministry of Personnel are asking for three talents at once, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is probably scolding them.
Lao Zhu trusted him and gave him the opportunity to promote others, which was much more convenient.
After careful consideration, Gu Zhengchen planned to promote Luo Shao from Hufang to the county magistrate. Although this man was a bit stingy, he was very patient with the people who served as corvees. He was friendly, careful and good at planning. The county magistrate was in charge of the grain department, It would be perfect for him to be responsible for taxes, etc.
As for the position of chief bookkeeper, it was handed over to Zhou Mao of the Li's Office. This person had been working in the Li's Office for many years. He knew the elders, big households, and people from all walks of life in Jurong. He was a sophisticated and experienced person. He was in charge of household registration, patrolling, etc. Definitely no problem.
Classic history!
This is the chief officer, and the selection is very critical.
For the county government, the role of the classics and history even exceeds that of the chief registrar and the county magistrate, because the chief registrar and the county magistrate are more decision-makers, while the classics and history are the executors.
Dianshi is in charge of detecting theft, interrogating, supervising, and jailing prisoners, etc., and assists the chief registrar, county magistrate, and county magistrate in running errands. He is the person who has the most contact with the people and large households, and is also the person who pays the most for services.
If you don't know what to do next, go to Dian Shi. If you want to go to the top for help, you should go to Dian Shi.
Gu Zhengchen considered the subordinate officials in the county government, and after several considerations, he finally wrote down the name of the class leader Yang Liang.
Yang Liang, a former student of the County Academy, spoke highly of this person in his teachings and lectures, saying that he was "good at thinking and doing well, a good person and a good man".
It stands to reason that Yang Liang with this evaluation should be a good man, but Gu Zhengchen doesn't think so. Yang Liang has a spirit of courage and courage, and he dares to rush. At the Dazhuoshan Mine, Yang Liang, as the team leader, He led the Yamen and charged forward.
Although he is a scholar and looks weak, he is actually strong in heart and has a stubborn pride.
After finalizing the recommendation list, Gu Zhengchen picked up the letter from home and fell asleep.
If there is no corvee in early winter, the people will be unemployed. This is a rare day of rest in the year.
But for the people of Jurong this year, many people have no time to rest.
After the weaving compound completed three rounds of optimization processes, it opened up all links from cotton procurement to weaving, printing, dyeing, and warehousing. When the first batch of cotton cloth was completed, Gu Zhengchen asked the shop manager to take a look at it in person. It was indeed strong and durable, not inferior to those on the market. Any cotton cloth, then I feel relieved.
Gu Zhengchen did not ask for jacquard printing and dyeing. These cotton cloths were sold directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of War. To put it bluntly, they were military supplies. Military cotton cloth did not need fancy colors, let alone too many flower prints.
Folk weaving takes at least three or four months from picking cotton to a piece of cotton cloth. After all, it is not professional weaving. Although women in ordinary families cannot care for their husbands and children, they still need to take care of their children and parents-in-law and take some time every day. It’s never too fast to weave.
But the Jurong Weaving Compound is different. The use of mixers and slingshots has made the cotton processing efficiency five or six times higher than before!
For example, when playing cotton, traditional crafts can only play one tael of cotton a day, and it takes more than a dozen people to support a spinning wheel. However, after the introduction of large suspended slingshots, one person can play four to five taels of cotton a day, and only three or four people are needed. It will be enough for a spinning wheel.
There is also a new type of truck mixer, which has improved the efficiency of cotton protection by seven or eight times.
Technology is productivity, and this sentence is absolutely true.
Although improvements in the textile process are limited, the entire assembly line process, seamless connection, collective weaving, full-time weaving and the incentive mechanism of more reward for more work have made textile efficiency unprecedented.
After the whole process became smoother and some details were sorted out, the county government issued a recruitment notice again and specially gave everyone a day off, allowing them to go home and work as lobbyists, pulling people's heads, and recruiting one more person to weave, The tailor and other experts came in and were rewarded with two hundred coins.
The use of this trick made the second round of recruitment easier. In addition, the weaving compound has been in operation for half a month and has never heard of any problems. It can even eat three meals a day, which makes many The common people are envious.
Gu Zhengchen was not idle either. He went deep into the countryside to promote the weaving compound and persuaded people to boldly participate in it. He also shouted the slogan "Be busy all winter and earn two taxes". The originally resistant people began to accept it. In this way of working, the family is sent to the weaving compound.
The second round of recruiting a thousand women took only three days.
In order to solve the problem of the woman's placement, Gu Zhengchen transferred the house to the north of the Guo family compound to the county government by replacing the house. The price was that Guo Jun's house was transferred to Wang Dahu.
With the support of a large number of bunk beds, one room can accommodate six people. The conditions are a bit crude, but they are not much different from the dormitories of later generations, and are even larger.
The arrival of the second batch of women enabled the weaving operation to be carried out in two shifts.
At the same time, Sun Niang recruited more than 200 people to start the assembly line design of the tactical backpack, including purchasing, cutting, proofreading, sewing, and inspection. Special personnel were assigned to each link. After Gu Zhengchen agreed, another member of the Guo family A sign was posted on a compound:
Jurong Tailor Courtyard.
The recruitment notice went up again. Gu Zhengchen directly called the village chiefs and elders from various places. He didn't bother to say so many words. He took them directly outside the county government warehouse to have a look and told them, three hundred coins per person, I want people. , persuade one, sign a contract, and pay directly.
The district chiefs had never seen such a arrogant recruitment method, so naturally they responded positively.
It is impossible to make money without making money, not to mention that you just need to walk a few more steps and lobby the people more. The people don’t know what is good or bad. Our village chiefs and old people know that the county magistrate is good to them, so they have to go to work. In the winter , there is no work in the fields, it is not a problem for you to lie in bed all day and exercise, why not go and make some money.
With financial support, relying on the popular support won by Gu Zhengchen, and relying on publicity and lobbying by the common people, the elderly, village chiefs, subordinate officials, etc., Jurong Weaving Courtyard and Tailoring Courtyard finally reached saturation on October 18th, with a total of More than 4,600 people!
This number is terrifying, which means that nearly 40% of the households in Jurong are involved. Even taking into account the situation of two people per family, nearly 30% of Jurong residents are involved!
