Chapter 495 Li Hao's idea
According to different habits, the cooperation plans made by the cooperative are also different.
The people have their plans, and the nobles naturally have their plans.
In principle, the people of Bingzhou mainly focus on farming, grain fields, mulberry and hemp..., and the cooperative provides seeds and agricultural tools, while the Turkic herders mainly focus on planting forage.
As the saying goes, people will have immediate worries without long-term contemplation. Li Hao will definitely not allow the severe grassland desertification due to excessive grazing in later generations.
So he would rather spend a lot of money to hire the extremely poor grassland herders to plant grass than let them graze everywhere without restraint.
Of course, grazing is not impossible, but the total number of livestock in each tribe must have a limit, which can only be lower than this limit, and cannot be higher than this limit.
Bazhuo and Asuna Smoo do not care about the limits. After all, it seems too early to think about these things now.
"Okay, you are the big boss, whatever you say is good. As long as I can give an explanation to my subordinates after I go back, nothing is wrong."
Li Hao rolled his eyes: "You have a big problem. There are 300,000 war horses, 500,000 cattle, and a million sheep. Just based on your current population, you are not afraid of exhausting yourself to death."
Ba Zhuo shrugged as Li Hao, but did not deny it.
In fact, the Turkic tribes did not raise so many livestock, with the number of horses being 300,000, which seemed to be small, but it was not easy to raise them in fact.
After all, horses are not pigs, just give them stutters. If you really want to raise them like that, it will be really useless.
To be honest, raising a horse is actually similar to raising a car. First of all, you have to let him go out and run often and not stay there. Secondly, you have to trim the horse's hooves every now and then, which is like changing tires. In addition, although the war horse mainly lives by eating grass, it also has to be filled with some essential ingredients, such as beans, which is similar to adding engine oil to a car.
Not to mention that in winter, after heavy snow falls, the war horses can't go out to eat by themselves. At this time, they have to stock up on forage. This is similar to the diesel trucks that need to add No. 35 diesel in winter. Although it is brought back in autumn, it is expensive.
Although cattle, sheep and other things are simple to raise, it is difficult for one person to take care of more than twenty cows. If a hundred sheep is over, it will be the end.
By doing this, the number given by Li Hao almost reached the limit that the Turkic tribes could raise livestock.
When Ba Zhuo came this time, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so generous. He actually gave him such a big promise. After thinking for a moment, he said: "There is no problem with this quantity, we can do it, but... how should your cooperative acquire it? In addition, you don't object to me selling it to others, right?"
"Opening June 4th, don't say I'm cheating you. The price is very fair. All animals are 60% of the cooperative and 40% of you. As for sales, you can sell it if you can find it. If you can't sell it, you can be responsible for the cooperative."
"Okay, that's the decision." Bazhuo pulled Asina Smoo up and prepared to say goodbye: "After I go back, I will send someone to count the number of livestock in the tribe. I will report it to you in the beginning of next spring. You must prepare the money at that time."
Seeing Bazhuo go away, Li Hao shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, he doesn’t know whether this is right or wrong. How the cooperative operates is also an unknown challenge for him. Whether it can succeed depends on the results next year.
But at least one thing he can be sure of is that the lives of the people should be much better than in previous years. After all, it is much easier to negotiate with the government than to negotiate with the government alone. Many unnecessary exploitation will be cut off by the cooperative at the source.
Compared with the past, before the emergence of cooperatives, most people rely on renting farmland from wealthy families to make a living. The more conscientious family will give a distribution plan of 64 shares. The more unscrupulous family, the more ruthless ones, it will become 73 and 82.
In addition to these, there are also additional levies in court sometimes that the people have to bear, such as building bridges, repairing roads, stacking dams, digging canals, and sometimes they have to pay for money.
As for the Yongye Field and Guchijima distribution field stipulated by Tang Dynasty, this is at most a written thing, and most people actually cannot enjoy these treatments.
It’s not that the government does not give it to you, but that there are too many obstacles and too many accidents. After all, the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not sound compared with those of later generations, and there will always be many loopholes for those big families to learn from.
Therefore, the people of the Tang Dynasty were basically extremely poor, and the people who had real land accounted for at most 30 to 40% of the total population.
"Brother-in-law, stop being idle, help me solve the problem first." Li Tai had been waiting aside and was about to get moldy. Finally, he saw Li Hao getting idle and shouted immediately.
Li Hao came to his senses, sat back next to the fire, pulled the beggar show that was not yet ripe inside, and said indifferently: "What's the problem with you? Isn't it just that each county has set up a primary school? What's the big deal?"
"What you said is easy. Have you ever calculated how many students there will be in each county? According to your previous meaning, a county has at least hundreds of students of suitable age. Can this be solved by a primary school? And..."
Li Tai pretended to be fingers and counted the difficulties he encountered one by one, with his head as big as a fight.
Li Hao sat there listening quietly without interrupting. He waited until he finished speaking, and said slowly: "Hundreds of students in each county are indeed a problem, but it is easy to solve it."
"Easy? Then how do you think it's solved."
"It's divided by age. You can enroll at the age of eight, and you can get one batch every year. Isn't that enough? As for the higher-level school you mentioned, Qingque, do you think it's useful to consider this now? Even if you have it out now, do you have any students?"
Li Tai: “…”
If you think about it seriously, it seems that maybe, probably, really isn't.
Li Hao curled his lips: "You, your elder brother didn't tell you before doing things, and the story of eating one bite at a time, and taking too big steps will easily lead to the story?"
Li Tai was choked and almost turned his back and pointed at Li Hao: "You..., how could you be so rude?"
Irrespectful? Is this rude?
Li Hao blinked his eyes, what a pretentious thing?
"Let's do this. Since you've come, then do a pilot program in Taiyuan Prefecture. First, start a primary school and recruit a group of students. If you like it, be a teacher for a few days or just be a teacher, and experience life."
Li Tai was a little anxious: "No, right? I'm just here to get an idea... I didn't think about staying."
"How can you know the real situation of establishing charity schools without leaving behind? Is the people willing to send their children to school? Whether the textbooks are compiled appropriately? You need to experience these in person. Listen to others to report to you, and you will never know what is behind something."
Li Tai frowned at the thing behind him.
It is true that he is a scholar and has a strong loyalty, but it does not mean that he is just a fool who knows nothing. With Li Hao's reminder, he finally realized that he seemed to believe in those subordinates too much.
"Brother-in-law, do you mean someone is blocking this matter?"
"There must be some, how could some vested interests give up such a great opportunity?" Li Hao used a fire fork to pull out the 'mud ball' in the bonfire, gently tapped the outer skin, and then put it aside to cool it down, and sorted out his thoughts and said: "I'll say that, Your Majesty has always been upset with the aristocratic families and the gentry because why? It's not because they occupied a large number of educational resources.
Let’s not talk about it far away, just talk about Taiyuan, there are no less than ten academies in all major schools, but there are people behind these academies, all of which are aristocratic families.”
Li Tai said: "But we also have county schools, and there are students in county schools."
"But how many people in the county school can be admitted to the Jinshi in the imperial examination? Let me tell me!" Li Hao paused: "Let's not talk about the current disadvantages of the imperial examination, just talk about the proportion of the winning numbers. How many people in the county school can pass the imperial examination every year? Two or three a year. And what about those aristocratic families? Dozens.
With such a ratio, if you are an ordinary person, would you choose a county school or a academy in the same situation?”
"I..." Li Tai wanted to choose a county school, but his face was ultimately inferior to Li Hao. Finally, he sighed softly: "Okay, I know what you mean."
"No, you don't know." Li Hao shook his head and said, "I mean, since you find the disadvantages, you have to start rectification and strive to change this situation within five to ten years."
Li Tai picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the fire, saying helplessly: "It's easy to say. How can you change this situation? If someone doesn't choose your school, you can't tie someone up."
"Haha..., there are always more ways than difficulties. Let me give you the simplest example. Of course, it may be a bit unrealistic."
“What example?”
"There is something called school-running qualifications in this world. If you analyze it in detail, it can be understood as how many professors a school has, how many teachers they have, and how capable they are. If you want to refine them, teachers can also conduct qualification reviews, such as which subject they are good at and what their knowledge they are. These can become restrictions on school conditions."
Li Tai was a little confused and couldn't understand it.
There is no way. In the Tang Dynasty, many things were not as sound as those of later generations. The obstruction of communication caused poor information. Even a royal family like Li Tai was limited to a very small range and could not be compared with those of later generations.
Seeing this, Li Hao could only continue to explain to him helplessly: "Let me say that, the court can set a standard. For example, in addition to official colleges, private colleges must have twenty qualified teachers to establish them. On this basis, we can also plan that only 20 teachers can only recruit 200 students in colleges.
In this way, the plans of aristocratic families to use school to cultivate their students can be restricted, while the court can open more official schools and recruit more students.
Of course, the best way is to change the way of marking the imperial examinations, such as using the nameless system, pasting all the names of everyone, and then planning to copy the test papers. Before the examiner marks the papers, he will send someone to copy the test papers, so that the examiner cannot determine who the test papers belong to."
Li Tai blinked his eyes, his eyes flashing.
A good idea, why didn't you think of it before?
"Brother-in-law, you have really helped me a lot. Okay, I'm leaving and back to Chang'an, don't send me off."
"Why……"
The fat Li Tai left as soon as he said that, waved his hand and did not take away a piece of barbecue.
I came yesterday and left today. Is this fat man really so anxious?
If this is the case...it's so easy for you to write to me. I can reply to you directly, why bother to do this trip?
Li Hao was speechless. The sound of the carriage leaving was already sounding outside, and it was getting farther and farther away. After a while, the sound of the horn of the warship anchoring came, and Li Tai was really leaving.
Come and go like the wind.
But then again, that kid Li Tai will not sell me out after he goes back.
The imperial examination system will be changed, the school qualifications will be established, and a two-pronged approach will be used. The aristocratic families will probably hate me so much, and they will also send people to assassinate me.
This is not OK. I am very scared. If someone kills me, I will lose everything.
Li Hao suddenly realized that now, he had to shake people. If he didn't shake people, his life would be unsuccessful.
In Chang'an, a 300-li express letter from Taiyuan was sent to the center and placed on Du Ruhui's desk.
Looking at the signature on the letter, Du Ruhui felt a headache for no reason.
It's Li Dejian again.
This kid has never been worry-free. I don’t know what happened again this time. If it is urgent for 300 miles, the matter must be very urgent.
Could it be that something happened in Bingzhou?
Uneasy, he used a knife to open the sealed varnish, and Du Ruhui took out the letter.
The content in the letter is not complicated, it just briefly explains the situation in Bingzhou, and only emphasizes the shortage of manpower at the end of the letter.
Du Ruhui let go of his heart, read the letter again, and decided to go to the palace to discuss with Li Er.
Cooperatives, assistance plans, and ethnic integration seem not very important, but the impact will be extremely huge.
In addition, it is planned to open two thousand new land, and people can apply for the purchase of land that can be cultivated within ten years for ten years, which will also have a significant impact.
But if this method can be really promoted, it seems to be a good way to solve refugees and can greatly alleviate the dilemma of the people having no land to farm.
Of course, if possible, Du Ruhui wants the owner of the letter to explain the mystery to himself. After all, letters only represent what the writer wants to say, and this may not be what the readers want to know.
Unfortunately, that bastard had no way to return to Beijing because he had caused too much trouble.
It is impossible for Li Er to recruit him back to Chang'an at this time.
So Du Ruhui could only try his best to figure out what the impact these plans could have and whether it could cause a rebound for some people.
After all, the Tang Dynasty has just been stable for a while, and it is time to rest and recuperate. It must not be messed up any more.
