Chapter 288 Mature System
The gentlemen were all stunned, and sighed that all of Zhao Yulin's women were extraordinary. Yangjin was a Tibetan, so how could she be so familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel of the imperial court?
How could these people know that Yang Jin was a time traveler, let alone that Yang Jin worked as an official in the future, and of course she was familiar with the mature organizational management system of the future. That was a mature management system eight hundred years later, so naturally the things handed over were all in a set.
Mr. Ding and Mr. Li were both surprised as they flipped through the reform documents of the Central Financial Holdings Group. They nodded and clapped their heads in amazement at the concise and orderly descriptions of the officials' job ranks and job responsibilities.
This was definitely completed by Yangjin herself, because the handwriting was beautiful and the ink was dry, and some places were modified with red pen. Both of them were amazed at the talent of this woman.
Haha, if they knew that Yangjin and Zhao Yulin were both time travelers, I'm afraid the two old antiques would be petrified immediately.
After Mr. Ding regained consciousness, he asked for everyone's opinions, but everyone was still trying to digest the situation.
The old man smiled and said, “Let’s wait and see. We should first establish the Ministry of Personnel and let Deputy Envoy Yangjin preside over the reform of the civil service system.”
Everyone immediately applauded in welcome.
The old man looked at Zhao Yulin out of habit and asked him if he had anything else to say.
This guy was exhausted by Yangjin's treatment last night, and he was completely submissive, and he couldn't wait to go home and rest. He waved his hand quickly and buried his head in his tea.
When she got home, Yangjin was very happy. She jumped into the yard like a tiger, put her arms around Zhao Yulin's neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist, shouting that she was the head of the weaving department and no longer had to look at other people's faces...
Seeing that she had gone crazy enough, Zhao Yulin quickly put her down and said, "There are so many guards around here. As the head of the bureau, shouldn't you be more reserved?"
This woman actually called out to the nearby guards to learn from them, saying that a young master who doesn't dote on girls will definitely not find a wife of his dreams.
When the guard heard her say this, he immediately walked away laughing.
The maid even covered her mouth and ran away to hide far away.
Zhao Yulin ignored her and walked quickly towards the study, with Yangjin following closely behind him.
When they entered the room, they saw Ma Ling'er writing and drawing quietly. The little woman immediately found her target. She hugged Ma Ling'er's shoulders and shook her, saying with a smile, "Big sister, are you feeling upset when you see us little ones showing off?"
Ma Linger laughed and scolded: "You silly girl, how could that be possible? Do you really think you are the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Personnel and are in charge of us?"
Yangjin said with a smile that she was in charge of her elder sister in the court, and when she returned home, she would pay her respects to her elder sister. As she said that, she immediately stepped back two steps and bowed to Ma Ling, which made Ma Ling laugh.
Zhao Yulin was completely speechless when he saw the looks of the two women. He turned around and walked towards the children's room. The two women laughed even more happily in the room.
As soon as Huo Fenghuang entered the room, she praised Yang Jin, saying that she brought honor to the women in the room. Even Lord Cao kept praising Yang Jin for her quick wit and vast knowledge.
Yangjin boasted that the number of books she had read had already exceeded fifty carts, or even more than five hundred.
Ma Ling and Fenghuang looked at the boastful Yang Jin and said, "Go ahead and brag , you can't stand being praised at all. What kind of school dares to say that there are 500 cars?"
Several women started joking in the study.
Haha, but if we really talk about the amount of theoretical reading, any elementary school graduate in later generations would probably be a talented person with a wealth of knowledge.
In Confucius' time, characters were carved on bamboo slips. A book was a bundle of bamboo slips strung together. Therefore, the characters were large and the book was bulky, but the number of characters was small.
How can it be compared with the laser typesetting of later generations? A thin page of paper is densely packed with words, and a book is equivalent to dozens or hundreds of bamboo slips. Imagine how many books a junior high school, high school, or college student has to read and how many homework and test papers he has to do. It is absolutely a huge amount.
At Baihuatan, Zhao Feiyan returned and sat down to eat listlessly.
Mrs. Danfeng Kuang Sisi brought a plate of freshly baked tofu to her daughter and asked her to try it. It was her mother's new cooking skill. Kuang Sisi had nothing to do all day long, so she cooked the dishes herself out of boredom.
Zhao Feiyan poked her food twice woodenly and stopped eating, going to the study to read.
Kuang Sisi pushed her daughter down to sit down and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is anyone bullying our little princess?"
Were you happy yesterday?
The little girl said dully that it was nothing and picked up her chopsticks to eat the rice.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Kuang Sisi guessed that Zhao Feiyan must be worried. She asked her what happened and asked her to tell her mother.
Zhao Feiyan just said that Zhao Yulin's wife, Yangjin, the chief steward of Baoning Prefecture, had come back to serve as the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Personnel. As soon as she entered the meeting room, she handed out a thick stack of handwritten manuscripts to the gentlemen. Everyone who saw them praised Yangjin for her great learning and said she was a remarkable woman in the world.
Kuang Sisi was also surprised and asked her doubtfully if it was true.
How could a barbarian Tibetan woman have such talent?
Zhao Feiyan said with some jealousy, "Of course, she had a thick manuscript in her hand, all written by Yangjin. Our mother has never seen her talking in the meeting room, and her expression was like that of Brother Yulin, who was pointing out the country. They are really a perfect match."
Kuang Sisi knew that Feiyan was jealous.
She smiled and said, "Little girl, you are jealous. We will be a family in the future. We are all sisters. Why are you jealous?" Didn't Yulin promise to marry Feiyan after the founding of the country? She also promised to renovate Jinguan City to make it a palace.
Zhao Feiyan immediately told her mother to stop talking about the palace. The New Song Dynasty had no emperor, and she would not be the queen, so where would the palace come from?
Kuang Sisi felt embarrassed. The two mothers stopped talking and ate their food quietly.
Zhao Yulin watched over his two children until they fell asleep, and then he went out to the study. Fenghuang bumped into him.
He hugged the woman and asked why she walked so carelessly?
Fenghuang said anxiously that General Cao had arrived.
The couple went to the small teahouse hand in hand. After meeting, Ma Ling took Fenghuang away.
Lao Cao admired that all of Zhao Yulin's women were capable of doing things, and knew that whenever the two of them had something to do, they would consciously leave.
He asked Lao Cao if he had anything to say so late at night.
Lao Cao told him that he was going to go down and take a look. The discipline of the garrison troops in Chengdu Prefecture was indeed too lax, and it would not work without severe punishment.
Zhao Yulin said it was almost the end of the year, why go down there?
Let's go back after the New Year.
He also planned to recall the generals above the level of each column in batches to recuperate, study, and relax.
Lao Cao said that he didn't like arguing with those ministers, so it would be better to let him go out and get some fresh air.
Zhao Yulin could not say any more, so he asked the guards to call Fenghuang and told her that General Cao was going to go on a garrison tour, and that she, the military supervisor, was also prepared to go with the general to see what the garrison situation in Shu was like.
Fenghuang was of course happy to do so, and they agreed to leave Chengdu the next day to inspect the garrison troops.
After seeing off Lao Cao, Fenghuang said that she was leaving the capital and wanted him to sleep with her. Ma Linger kept saying "go, go, go" and said that she just wanted some peace and quiet.
Fenghuang happily pulled Zhao Yulin back to the room.
The next day, Mr. Ding was invited to discuss the construction of Jinguan City.
Zhao Yulin said that the comprehensive relocation of Jinguan City and the construction of new buildings for many central institutions of the New Song Dynasty were major events. First of all, we had to figure out how many government offices there would be in the future. This required us to basically finalize all government offices after the comprehensive reform.
Of course, we can also relocate Jinguan City at the same time, but we also need to conduct a comprehensive survey there to find out how many households there are.
How many workshops?
What are their intentions for leaving?
He proposed to invite Master Liu Yuru to be the chief planner of the Jinguan City renovation and to hire skilled craftsmen from Chengdu to build the new Jinguan City.
Li Zhongmian said that this was building the heart of the empire, so it required careful planning.
Cao Youwen believed that the construction of the new city in Fengxiang Prefecture was of great exemplary significance, and that the local people and merchants all supported it with full support. He believed that they should first take care of the people's affairs and then build the city, just like Fengxiang did.
Zhao Yulin said that was natural. The construction of a new city in Fengxiang was different from the Jinguan City in Chengdu. Jinguan City had a large number of densely populated residents and a large number of workshops that needed to be relocated. This required a preliminary survey to clarify the relocation and resettlement issues.
This requires us to establish a Ministry of Industry, and let the Ministry of Industry be responsible for the construction of resettlement areas, the construction of industrial parks, and responsible for researching and manufacturing new machines for workshops to promote the progress of industrialization.
As soon as these ideas were put forward, they immediately refreshed the eyes of several old gentlemen. Yes, it costs so much money and builds so many new workshops. It is a huge investment. What is the point ?
Zhao Yulin said that for such a huge construction project, we could set up a national-level construction team, called the Rongcheng Construction Team, which would specialize in house construction and introduce an appropriate amount of private investment. In this way, all the craftsmen in Chengdu and even Sichuan would be revived.
Everyone was inspired by what they heard and was amazed at Zhao Yulin's wonderful ideas.
While everyone was discussing the matter heatedly, a guard came in to report that Wei Yi, a great Neo-Confucian scholar from Chengdu and a veteran scholar, was opposed to the establishment of our country and had climbed up the East Gate tower to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Soon, Inspector Jiang Ligang arrived and said unconvincedly that Wei Yi was already in his seventies and still didn't stop, which was intentional to embarrass us.
Zhao Yulin said that they were all old scholars with white beards, and there must be many people in their family working in the government. He asked Jiang Ligang and the people from the Ministry of Personnel to find out who they were.
Go back immediately and persuade this old stubborn man to come back home. If he is still not persuaded to come back by 3:30 p.m., these people should quit their jobs as officials and go home to hug their children.
Everyone lost interest in communicating and stood up to walk around and take a break.
Lao Cao spread his hands and said with a wry smile that Zhao Yulin was quite quiet. He would just leave after dealing with every important matter. He was just like today, sitting in Chengdu and facing these trivial matters every day.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said that it was all trivial matter, not worth mentioning compared to the swords and guns on the battlefield.
Lao Cao said that the annoying thing was that he couldn't solve the problem with a sword. If it could be solved with just one chop, it would of course be much easier.
Haha, he began to laugh secretly that Lao Cao was really a great general who had passed the military examination and liked to do things in a bold and straightforward manner. How could everything in this world be so easy?
