After inviting Fan Zhongyan and Cui Yingyou to his office, Ouyang Shuo asked, "What do you think the territory lacks the most now?"
Fan Zhongyan pondered for a while, "I think we lack talent at the grassroots level. If we want to maintain the effective operation of the various departments, we need a large number of grassroots clerks besides appointing the chief officials. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly, then looked at Ying You, wanting to hear her thoughts.
Cui Yingyou thought for a while, "I agree with Mr Sven. Also, besides talent at the grassroots level, I think we lack professionals who understand taxation and finance. To be honest, even I, as the chief official, am half a layman when it comes to the newly established finance department. "
"Both of your questions hit the nail on the head. To sum it up, our bureaucratic system is still very weak, like a bare old tree with only branches and no leaves. At the village stage, the affairs of the territory are simple, and the chief officials can still rely on their own abilities to maintain the operation of the department. But at the township stage, the shortage of talent will make us feel very strained. "
"Nurturing talent is a long process, it cannot be done in one go. Therefore, from now on, it is very necessary for us to start formulating a talent development strategy for the territory. The adult literacy class that I started in the private school was an attempt to achieve this goal. "
Ouyang Shuo knew that for the six tyrants of Handan City, the problem of talent is not that serious. They are like the aristocratic families of the Three Kingdoms period, they have a very strong talent pool. Whether it is the direct descendants of the family or the interest groups around them. As long as the loyal players are assigned to their respective positions, they can quickly establish an effective bureaucratic system.
It is almost impossible for an individual player to go against them. Even someone like Ouyang Shuo, who has been reborn, has to take things one step at a time to have a chance of winning.
Fan Zhongyan nodded. "You're right, Lord. To nurture talent, we need to run a good basic education and implement the imperial examination system. It is still too early to do the latter, so the main thing now is to run a good basic education. There is only one private school in the territory, and it only provides elementary education, which is far from meeting the needs. "
"That's right, my idea is to set up a comprehensive school in the territory. The school will set up beginner classes, intermediate classes and advanced classes. The beginner class is the adult literacy class, which focuses on literacy. The intermediate class was dedicated to nurturing the two previously mentioned basic administrative talents and basic professional talents. And the targets of the advanced class are the officers in charge of the various departments. "
Fan Zhongyan clapped and cheered, "Wonderful! According to my lord's idea, we can quickly cultivate talents and also form a talent cultivation echelon. I agree with it very much. "
Cui Yingyou said doubtfully, "Big Brother's idea is excellent. But where are we going to find such a powerful teacher? Old Master Fan is the only one in the territory right now, right? "
Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously. "Far away on the horizon, but close at hand."
Cui Yingyou widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "Big Brother, the teachers you're referring to can't be the three of us, right?"
"Why not? Pomelo, you can start an advanced mathematics class. Mr. Sheng Jiaoyang can start an advanced political science class. I can also start a legal literacy class, "Ouyang said calmly.
Ying You sighed, expressing the immense pressure. Fan Zhongyan, on the other hand, was very calm. He had once held the chair of Yingtian Academy. Imparting knowledge was a walk in the park for him.
"I've also thought of the name of the school. It will be called Lianzhou School. Although it has just started, I hope that in the future, Lianzhou School will become the cradle of the territory's civil officials. Mr. Sheng Jiaoyang will be the dean. "
Fan Zhongyan stood up and saluted. "Sheng Jiaoyang dare not refuse the lord's order. But I have a request. I hope that my lord can be the honorary dean to show the orthodoxy. "
Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly. "Okay, I promise you. The administrative office will be responsible for the preparatory work of the school, and the financial department will cooperate. "
The three of them discussed in detail for a while and then left.
Ouyang Shuo prepared to go to the market. This time, he had enough funds. Not only did he want to buy all kinds of architectural blueprints, but he also wanted to see if he could find anything good.
He spent 10 gold coins to buy a pottery factory blueprint, the only thing that was missing in the third-level village. Then, he prepared to buy a mid-level military camp blueprint and a mid-level shipyard blueprint.
These types of buildings required blueprints to upgrade. The price of the blueprints would increase by ten times with each upgrade. Therefore, a mid-level military camp blueprint would cost 20 gold coins, and a mid-level shipyard blueprint would cost 50 gold coins.
After that, there was a grain shop, a butcher shop, and a cloth shop, which were the basic buildings of a first-level village. Each of them would cost 20 gold coins. In addition, there was a bank that was the basic building of a second-level village, priced at 50 gold coins.
Finally, there was the school blueprint. The school or academy was the basic building of a third-level county, priced at 1,000 gold coins. Naturally, he couldn't afford it. Therefore, he was prepared to change his mind and buy a blueprint of a first-level village's basic building school, priced at 20 gold coins.
After a round of shopping, he spent 21 gold coins on the blueprint alone. Currently, the territory's funds were only 49 gold coins. In addition to setting aside 200 gold coins for the Bank of the Four Seas, he also had to set aside money for the militia's and cavalry's profession change fees.
Ouyang Shuo sighed. As long as he came to the market, he would always feel that he didn't have enough money. Fortunately, in another ten days or so, the salt of the Northern Twilight Saltworks for the first month could be sold. At that time, he could make a profit of 400 to 500 gold coins.
This was because the number of salt workers needed in the saltworks was too high. On average, two mu of salt field needed one salt worker. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo didn't plan to build the third phase of the saltworks and maintained the scale of 500 mu.
Ouyang Shuo clicked on the item manufacturing manual and found the Wooden Ox Manufacturing Manual, priced at 20 gold coins. The Wooden Ox in the game was just an upgraded version of a wooden wheelbarrow. It wasn't as magical as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Although the effects weren't as exaggerated, the Wooden Ox was still a practical means of transportation. Ying You had previously mentioned to Ouyang Shuo that as the demand for wood and other resources increased, transportation became a big problem. It was very labor-intensive to transport hundreds or thousands of units of wood, stone, and iron ore from the mining area to the village or even the shipyard.
If they had the wooden oxen, then all transportation wouldn't be a problem. Moreover, when the Northern Twilight Saltworks harvested the salt, transporting it from the port to the primary market would be a big project.
Ouyang Shuo spent 20 Gold Coins to buy the 《Wooden Oxen Crafting Technique Manual》. He also took a look at the Wooden Oxen's attributes.
[Name]: Wooden Ox
[Consumption]: 20 units of wood
[Load]: 200 kilograms
[Itinerary]: 10 kilometers per day, 15 kilometers in a group
[Evaluation]: The Wooden Ox is an exquisite means of transportation that can overcome complicated terrain such as mountain roads and steep slopes.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo flipped to the other items on the Special Items Trading Platform. After browsing for more than ten minutes, he found a special item that he liked. It was a token with very simple attributes.
[Job Change Token] (Civil Official): After using it, you can directly become a civil official.
In the Shanhai Village, people like Cui Yingyou and Zhao Youfang had been transferred to the civil official group, but they still had their original professions. They didn't become official civil officials. Although it wouldn't affect their positions, it would affect their administrative efficiency.
Ouyang Shuo didn't hesitate and spent 20 gold coins to buy the job change token. He was going to let Cui Yingyou use this token. Her current profession was still a merchant, which didn't match her position as the Financial Secretary. Although the funds were a little tight, it was still worth it to let Cui Yingyou become a civil official in advance.
Ouyang Shuo reluctantly looked at the variety of special items. He covered his pocket and put the items he bought from the other side of the teleportation array into his storage bag. Then, he left the primary market.
On the way, he heard the villagers talking from time to time.
"Hey, aunt, have you heard? Our village is going to privatize something! "
"Privatize? What is privatize?"
"Privatize isn't something. It's a big deal. I heard from Mr. Gu that everyone is going to live their own lives. They won't live together anymore! "
"Aiya, what should we do? Does Sir not want us anymore? Our family of four, aside from a few tattered clothes, we don't have anything else. If we all live our own lives, how are we going to live? "
"Aunt, you're wrong about Sir. Sir is so benevolent, how could he not care about us? I heard that after we split up, Sir will give each of us food, meat, and a new set of clothes! "
"That's good. At least we don't have to worry about starving."
"What starving? The benefits aren't just that. Mr. Gu said that after privatizing, Sir will still give us wages. As long as we work hard and save some money, we can even buy a house to live in. For farmers like your family, Sir will even give you land for free. You just have to hand over some food to Sir when the harvest is over. In my opinion, as long as we work hard, we might even live better than now. "
"Mother Goddess, please bless us. This is a big deal. Where did you hear it? I'm going to take a look too. "
"At the square in front of the Lord's Mansion. Mr. Gu posted a notice there!"
"Alright, I'll bring my husband to take a look too."
"Then go quickly. I want to go home and tell my husband. I heard that this time, even those shops are going to be sold. I want to talk to my husband and see if we can borrow some money to buy the blacksmith shop! "
"Alright!"
Ouyang Shuo smiled happily as he listened to the villagers' discussion. The Administrative Office acted quite quickly. They first posted the notice to warm everyone up.
