After inviting Fan Zhongyan and Cui Yingyou to the office, Ouyang Shuo said, "What do you two think is most lacking in the territory now?"
Fan Zhongyan pondered for a while, "I think the most lacking is grassroots government personnel. In order to maintain the effective operation of various departments, in addition to appointing chief officials, a large number of grassroots clerks are also needed."
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly, then gestured to Yingyou with his eyes, wanting to hear her thoughts.
Cui Yingyou thought for a while and said, "I also agree with what Mr. Xiwen said. In addition, in addition to grassroots government personnel, I think we still lack professional talents who understand taxation and finance. To be honest, even I This chief officer is a half layman."
"Both of you have hit the nail on the head. In a nutshell, our bureaucratic system is still very weak, like a bare old tree with only branches and no leaves. In the village stage, the affairs of the territory are single. Officials can also rely on their personal ability to maintain the operation of the department. But when it comes to the township stage, the shortage of talents will make us stretched hard.”
"The cultivation of talents is a long-term process, which cannot be accomplished overnight. Therefore, from now on, it is very necessary for us to start formulating a talent development strategy for the territory. In the early days, I opened an adult literacy class in a private school, which was an attempt for this purpose .”
Ouyang Shuo knew very well that for a big force like the Handan Six Hegemons, the problem of talent is not that serious. They are like the aristocratic families in the Three Kingdoms period, and they have a very strong talent reserve. Whether it is the direct line of the family or the interest groups surrounding them. As long as players who are loyal to them are assigned to their respective positions, an effective bureaucratic system can be quickly established.
It is almost impossible for individual players to compete with them. Even for a reborn person like Ouyang Shuo, he has to be careful every step of the way to have such a slight chance of winning.
Fan Zhongyan nodded, "My lord's words are very true. To cultivate talents, we must run a good basic education and implement the imperial examination system. The latter is still too early, so at this stage, we mainly focus on running a good basic education. Territory Now there is only one private school, which only provides elementary education, which is far from meeting the needs."
"Yes, my idea is to open a comprehensive college in the territory. The college will offer elementary classes, intermediate classes and advanced classes. The elementary class is the previous adult literacy class, focusing on reading and literacy. The intermediate class specializes in training two The basic government talents and basic professional talents mentioned earlier. The training objects of the advanced class are the chief officials of various departments and bureaus who hold positions."
Fan Zhongyan clapped his hands and applauded, "Wonderful! According to the master's idea, it can quickly cultivate talents and form a talent training echelon. I agree very much."
Cui Yingyou said suspiciously: "Brother's idea is very good. But, where can we find such a strong teacher force? Now there is only Mr. Fan in the territory, right?"
Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us."
Cui Yingyou's eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "Brother, the teacher you are referring to is the three of us, right?"
"Why not? Yuer, you can give a crash course in mathematics, Mr. Xiwen can give a crash course in political affairs, and I can also give a judicial literacy class." Ouyang said calmly.
Yingyou sighed, expressing the pressure. Fan Zhongyan is very calm, but he once held the teaching chair of Yingtian Academy. For him, preaching and teaching is very familiar.
"I have also thought about the name of the college. It is called Lianzhou College. Although it has just started, I hope that the future Lianzhou College can become the cradle of civil servants in the territory. The first dean will be Mr. Xiwen."
Fan Zhongyan stood up and saluted, "My lord ordered, Xiwen dare not refuse. I just have one request, I hope my lord can serve as the honorary dean to show orthodoxy."
Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly, "Okay, I promise you. The administrative department will be responsible for the preparatory work of the college, and the finance department will cooperate."
After the three of them summed up in detail, they dispersed.
Ouyang Shuo is going to go to the market. With sufficient funds this time, he not only wanted to buy all kinds of architectural drawings, but also to see if he could find any more good things.
He first spent 10 gold coins to buy a building blueprint for a pottery factory, which was the only thing missing in a third-level village. Then, he is going to buy a mid-level barracks building blueprint and a mid-level shipyard building blueprint.
For this type of building that requires architectural drawings to upgrade the building level, the selling price of the architectural blueprints will increase by ten times for each level up. Therefore, a mid-level barracks building blueprint costs 20 gold coins, and a mid-level shipyard building blueprint costs 50 gold coins.
After that, there are three first-level township basic buildings, the grain shop, the butcher shop, and the cloth shop, each priced at 20 gold coins. In addition, there is also a bank that belongs to the basic building of the second-level township, and the price is 50 gold coins.
Finally, there are the architectural drawings of the college. College or Academy, which belongs to the basic building of the third-level county, costs 1,000 gold coins. Naturally, he couldn't afford it, so he was going to make a change and buy a piece of architectural blueprint of a first-level township basic architecture school for 20 gold coins.
After some purchases, the architectural drawings alone cost 210 gold coins. Now the territorial funds are only 490 gold coins. In addition to reserving 200 gold coins for the Four Seas Bank, they also need to reserve the militia transfer and subsequent cavalry transfer fees. There are not many funds that can be used.
Ouyang Shuo sighed, as long as he came to the market, he would always feel that he didn't have enough money. Fortunately, in ten days or so, the first month's salt in Beimu Saltworks can be sold. At that time, there will be a profit of four to five hundred gold coins all at once.
Because there are too many salt workers in the salt field, an average of two mu of salt fields requires one salt worker. So in the village stage, Ouyang Shuo no longer planned to build the third phase of the saltworks, and kept the scale at 500 mu.
Ouyang Shuo clicked on the item manufacturing technical manual, and found a copy of "Wooden Cow and Horse Manufacturing Technical Manual", which sold for 20 gold coins. The wooden cow and horse in the game is just an upgraded version of the wooden unicycle, which is not as magical as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Although not so exaggerated, the wooden cow and horse are still a practical means of transportation. Yingyou mentioned to Ouyang Shuo before that with the increase in demand for timber and other resources, transportation has become a major problem. It is very labor-intensive to transport hundreds of units of wood, stone, and iron ore from the collection site to the village or even the shipyard.
If there are wooden cattle and horses, then all transportation will not be a problem. What's more, when the salt is harvested in the Beimu Salt Farm, it is also a big project to transport the salt from the port to the primary market.
Ouyang Shuo spent 20 gold coins to buy the "Manufacturing Technique Manual of Wooden Niu and Horses", and checked the properties of Wooden Niu and Horses by the way.
[Name]: Wooden cow and horse
[Consumption]: Wood 20 units
[Load]: 200 kg
[Itinerary]: Every day there are dozens of miles of special travellers, and thirty miles of group travel
[Evaluation]: Mu Niu Liu Ma is a kind of exquisite workmanship, which can overcome complex terrain such as mountain roads and steep slopes, and save manpower.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo turned to the other item column of the special item trading platform. After browsing for more than ten minutes, he found a special item that he liked. It was a token with simple attributes.
[Professional transfer token] (Civilian): After using it, you can directly transfer to a civil servant.
In Shanhai Village, people like Cui Yingyou and Zhao Youfang, although they have been classified as civil servants, their occupations are still the same as before. They have not been transferred to official civil servants. Although it does not affect what positions they hold, it will affect their administrative efficiency.
Ouyang Shuo didn't hesitate, and spent 20 gold coins to buy this job transfer token. He was going to use this token for Cui Yingyou. Her current occupation was still a businessman, which did not match the position of Financial Secretary. Although the funds are a little tight in this way, it is worthwhile to allow Yingyou to be transferred to a civil servant in advance.
Reluctantly looking at the various special items, Ouyang Shuo covered his pockets, put the purchased items into the storage bag from the teleportation array on the other side, and left the primary market.
Walking on the road, I heard the villagers' discussions from time to time.
"Hey, Auntie, have you heard? What kind of privatization is going to be implemented in our village!"
"Privatization, what is privatization?"
"Privatization is not something, but a major event. I heard from Mr. Gu that everyone should live their own lives, and no longer live together!"
"Oh, what can we do! My lord doesn't want us? Our family of four has nothing but a few rags. If we live our own lives, how can we live?"
"Auntie, you are wrong to blame the adults. The adults are so kind, how can they ignore us. I heard that after we are separated, the adults will give each of us food, meat, and a new set of clothes for each of us!"
"That relationship is okay, at least you don't have to be afraid of starvation."
"Why are you hungry? The benefits are more than that. Mr. Gu said that after privatization, adults will pay us wages. As long as we work hard and save some money, we can buy a house by ourselves. Farming like your family Yes, the adults will give you the land for free. As long as the harvest is harvested, you can give the adults a little grain. In my opinion, as long as you work harder, maybe you can live a better life than now."
"Bless Mazu, this is really a big deal. Where did you hear that? I'll go and have a look."
"On the square in front of the Lord's Mansion, Mr. Gu posted a notice there!"
"Okay, I'll take my guy to take a look as well."
"Then go quickly. I want to go home and tell my guy. I heard that even those shops will be sold this time. I want to check with my guy to see if I can borrow some money to sell the blacksmith. Lay it down!"
"Okay!"
Listening to the villagers' discussion, Ouyang Shuo smiled gratifiedly. The Administration Department moved quite quickly, first posting the notice to give everyone a warm-up.
