The matter of the two pearls is just a trivial matter. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would not put their energy on such luxurious things, and it didn't make much sense to their philosophy of life.
They believed that the four old men of Bi would also not care how much the pearl was worth. The quality of the big pearl was good, and Xiao Bei had not broken it up until now.
Just a few words, the younger one decided to send it to Li Longji. It is estimated that it is also used for medicinal purposes in the capital, saying that the old pearl medicine is strong enough.
Picking up the pearls that Xiaobei dropped, and turning them vigorously on the marble floor, the brilliance of the two mirrored each other for a long time.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that the little boys were playing well, and they happened to find four old men to discuss about the Yangtze River Bridge.
"Grandpa Bi, do you think that the bridge can collect the passing money? It usually costs money to take the ferry. When it is convenient to walk the bridge, it is not too much to make fewer points."
Zhang Xiaobao proposed the first thing, asking for money, the bridge needs to be repaired, and now the account is Wangjiang Tower, which is incorporated into the finances of Wangjiang County, which is part of the local government's functions.
The four people of Bi Lao are no longer the people who didn’t understand the economy as they did when they met Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He hesitated after hearing Zhang Xiaobao’s withdrawal and said, “Xiaobao, the people coming and going on the bridge will definitely promote the locals. Economic development will increase tax revenue. It seems that we should take part of it for maintenance, so why bother to collect money?"
"If this is the case, then I will not accept it. I hope that the Wangjiang County officials will not give this money to the ink, and will spend it every year. The second thing is the people who ferry the Yangtze River. There is a bridge, but the people in the distance will still walk. The ferry boats all pass by the bridge nearby, and the ferry people have a hard time living."
Zhang Xiaobao put forward another thing. When a new industry develops, it will inevitably have an impact on the related old model. People who have been ferrying for many years will let them find other things to do on their own. This is not for those in power to the people. What should be done.
Officials who obtain a certain economic development in a local area at the expense of part of the people's interests are incompetent officials. Don't treat the people as data on paper, they are living people.
The four old men frowned almost at the same time. If the bridge can be repaired, it must be repaired. There is a bridge that is more convenient than the ferry to transport goods and people. You cannot remove the bridge just because the ferryman, and directly pay the ferryman. It doesn't seem to work, so what should I arrange for them to do
Zhang Xiaobao didn't need the four old men to think for themselves, the solution he came up with naturally had a solution.
"Grandpa Bi, what my family thought of was to divide this part of the people into three aspects to solve the problem. On the one hand, iron cables were pulled out along the bridge piers, and the two iron cables let the ferry boat hang on it, eliminating the danger of being overturned by the water. The bridge pier in the middle of the river Wherever wood is used to build the river, some people like to enjoy the scenery there, and they will take money to ferry to the place.
The second aspect is to make a cruise on the Divergence River, so that the ferrymen can unite, buy or rent them a big boat. The Divergence River is not so turbulent and can solve a group of people.
The third aspect cooperates with Wangjiang Tower, fishing in the river every day, selling to Wangjiang Tower, or directly at the Wangjiang Tower, the three-pronged approach, people who originally lived on this section of the Yangtze River have a new way to survive. "
Zhang Xiaobao revealed the arrangements for those who lost their jobs, and waited for the four old men to ponder there.
Old man Liu and the others are not stupid. Hearing what Zhang Xiaobao said, he understood that this kind of thing is not practical to tell them. Zhang family can do it by himself. Since it solemnly mentions it, only one thing can be explained. Remember this method. If you want to develop elsewhere in the future, you must not forget the people who rely on the original way of living.
Old man Yao nodded and said, "I know what Xiaobao said. This year's spring ploughing is early. There seem to be some bad places in the local area that don't have Zhongbai Diezi. Could it be that I can't grow them here?"
Last winter, cotton-padded clothes and quilts played a very important role. This year, I have heard that many places where hemp was originally grown have changed to white dice The cotton oil that comes out can be used to light lamps, which is a very good "economic crop".
Except for the old man Liu, the remaining three old men have become accustomed to the way of doing things in the Zhang family. Zhang Zhong will make plans at the beginning of each year. There are detailed text descriptions and clear diagrams. Shuzhou's plan for this year They have read the text, and each place is divided into details about what should be done.
There was no such thing as a white stack, which made them wonder, so they asked about it.
The plan made by Zhang Xiaobao is the most clear why. His plan was not made blindly. The local officials first sent a sub-plan based on the specific form there, and sent the detailed data at the same time, through modification and approval. And negate to perfect.
When someone asked, Zhang Xiaobao replied: "Grandpa Yao, my family also knows that Baidizi is more profitable and can increase the income of the people, but Shuzhou is definitely not allowed to be planted now. Shuzhou is a grain producing area, and the Yangtze River is connected to the canal. It is estimated that this year’s food is still insufficient for water transportation in Beijing, and it needs to be adjusted from this line.
Bai Diezi is good, but it is wasted when planted in such a place. Shuzhou not only pursues economic development, but also has to ensure the emergency supply of food on the front line of the capital. It is enough to grow in the bitter cold land and the saline-alkali land. The land is not good. Plant soybeans and cultivate land with beans. "
Wang Juan also added: "The yield of Baidizi is low, not as good as hemp. The local area in Shuzhou does not have to use cotton clothes and quilts. Hemp is enough for paper making and fishing nets. Those who unilaterally pursue a certain economic crop In terms of profit, there is actually no change in income and expenditure. If the hemp is not enough, you have to buy it from elsewhere, and Bai Diezi has used all the money earned."
That is to say, the four old men pay attention to Zhang's family, and the three old men are often with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Otherwise, ordinary people really don't understand what the two people said.
The two people are now using a planned economy. When transportation and productivity cannot be improved, the market economy cannot be used. Moreover, Zhang Xiaobao does not like the market economy model. The increase in behavior makes it impossible to plan well.
Nowadays, business behaviors are still relatively simple, and market economy will be the end.
Old man Bi and Old man Yao are actually learning constantly. They are fans of the authorities. They don't have the historical span experience of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They are groping forward on their own, and no one knows whether they are right or wrong.
Listening to the words of Zhang Xiaobao, Old Man Bi asked as he thought about it, "Should I learn this method from other places? There should always be a model for this? How about this? Your family summarizes it and prints it into a book at that time and sends it to this book. North Korean officials."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan shook their heads at the same time. There is a model, but the model is always changing. Let alone now, no one of them dared to say which model is the best at that time. The so-called good is to adapt to the time. Economic and political environment.
"Grandpa Bi, I really wrote that there are several sets of patterns. Just like the art of war, soldiers are impermanent but water is impermanent. You always know how to ride the two-wheeled bike we made. The search for stability is neither left nor right, nor in the middle. The same is true of economics."
It's not that Zhang Xiaobao can't write, as long as he turns his own experience and the experience of others into words, but he is afraid that someone will take what he writes as a dogma. If it is done well, it should be done. If it is not done well, the responsibility should be shifted. On him.
"Is there no way?" Old man Yao felt very sorry. He felt that the local development model of the Zhang family was the same, that is, the money was used for infrastructure construction, and the local environment and crops were reasonably matched according to the local environment. Too hard.
Wang Juan knew what he was thinking when he saw old man Yao’s expression. He thought about things too simple and explained: "Grandpa Yao, the things in the world are actually the same thing after others have done them. The above is almost the same, it is like a marching battle, nothing more than concentrating superior forces to annihilate a small number of enemies, trying to find a way to prevent the enemy from being able to hit the enemy, and oneself can hit the enemy.
But when the real war strategy and tactics are used, this is not the case at all. The grasp of the general situation, the understanding of the local area, the time difference, the environmental terrain, etc., are indispensable, and the details determine success or failure. "
"Oh, I'm in a hurry, but it's not because your family can make the place develop faster, and hope to find a good way to make the entire Datang stronger. Then there is no way?"
According to what Old Man Yao said, he was also a figure who had served several prime ministers. He reacted very quickly. He made a self-examination and didn't want to give up.
Facing the gazes of the four old men, Zhang Xiaobao sighed, "It's difficult. Since people are governing people, it depends on the ability of the officials. But the most difficult thing to grasp is the hearts of the people. I write that when the time comes, let the officials learn and come. , Take the Shuzhou plan from my yard."
After Zhang Xiaobao said these words, he waited. He just took the opportunity to play with the little guys for a while. The little guys don’t care what they play, but who they play with them. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are their biggest attachments, as long as they have a big brother. With the big sister next to them, they are happy.
After turning the big pearl over and over again, the planning book was finally picked up. Compared with the dozen or so pieces of paper that the four old men had seen before, the planning book this time was much thicker, enough. There are hundreds of pieces of paper, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have been busy with this since the New Year.
Spreading out the planning book, Zhang Xiaobao took out a copy and said, "This is what the four grandpas saw."
Putting this down, took out another one and said: "This is a supplementary plan."
Take "this is an emergency plan. This is a sub-plan for things that may be encountered. The development plan of a place is not so easy to do. All risks must be taken into account, and then perfect and supplemented. The officials who study are in When making plans, it is absolutely not allowed to have only one plan, but one set, otherwise it will be malfeasance."
This is the first time for the four old men to see a detailed plan, and finally understand why Zhang Zhong was so smooth when he went to the place to handle government affairs, and had nothing to do with luck.
No wonder the Zhang and Wang family are not afraid of encountering difficulties. It is because they have written out all the difficulties that may arise, and there are corresponding methods to accumulate and shed light on them.
"A good man, he is really a good man." Old man Zhang is the worst in this respect compared to the other three people. If he were to write this kind of plan, he felt that he would be exhausted.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say anything, they just smiled with satisfaction, but they asked for merit, not publicity.
Old man Bi touched over the plans, raised his head and said: "Xiaobao, your father will not go to Luoyang next time."
