Chapter 975 Promoting Collective Agriculture
Su Yonglin's future plan is mainly to stimulate the development of industrial production by promoting the growth of social demand in Daming, and strongly promote the development of science and technology and the process of industrialization.

Even if one foot stepped into the threshold of the industrial revolution, it was enough to turn around and get rid of the shackles of history.

And the demand, apart from the peasants' demand for a better life released by the current contact with oppression and exploitation, mainly comes from two aspects.

One comes from conquest.

The other one is from the sea.

Conquest is easy to understand. The foreign conquest and construction of Ming Dynasty is a huge demand.

With the attack of the army, with the successive annihilation of the Southern Song Dynasty and other countries, and with the continuous expansion of the territory of the Ming Empire, the demand for construction is the biggest domestic demand.

After the Ming Kingdom has destroyed the enemy, it needs to build and develop the newly occupied territory in its own way. Construction and development need materials. This is a huge demand, a very, very big demand.

This part of demand will greatly promote the production of factories, and this part of demand is enough to support the production of factories in the next 20 years.

In the foreseeable future, Su Yonglin felt that the Ming Dynasty would not stop conquests in the next 20 years, the Ming army would not stop fighting, and the Ming army would not stop expanding, until the territory of the Ming Kingdom was expanded to the most appropriate level.

Where are you now?
The national strength of the Ming Dynasty has not been restored, the war machine has not been fully activated, and the powerful force of the army has not been fully released.

Once released, it will be a devastating blow to all the surrounding regimes.

To put it bluntly, the current East Asia is actually a state of division in the Warring States Period. Many ethnic and regional regimes have been established without a unified order.

And this was unacceptable to Su Yonglin.

Therefore, in the future, conquest, revolution, and secondary construction will be the mainstream, which will also generate huge demand, which will severely drive the industrial development and technological progress in Daming.

But this is not sustainable.

The domestic demand brought about by military conquest and national construction is limited. If there is no limit, it is not a normal country. It is a military state. It is far more terrifying than feudalism, and it will lead the Ming Dynasty to the bottomless abyss.

Therefore, the road to the military must not be taken.

The domestic demand is not enough, and the external demand is to make up. The Southern Song Dynasty relies on the prosperity of foreign trade to create a false and prosperous commodity economy, and relies on foreign trade to pull up a false public class, which is enough to prove that foreign trade has great economic potential in this era. .

The huge demand in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe can drive the economic development of the Southern Song Dynasty, prolong the life of the Southern Song Dynasty for decades, and allow them to resist the Mongolian attack for decades.

If Daming can grab the share of foreign trade and pull all foreign trade to his side, he can promote the development of industry and commerce at a faster speed, and thus can accumulate enough funds for the development of science and technology.

Therefore, Su Yonglin was also thinking about how to grab the foreign trade share during this time.

Simply using competitiveness to grab, in the state where the north is slowly recovering, and in this situation where agriculture is more important than commercial industry, except for the state of arms that cannot produce any more competitive products, it is impossible to compete with the Southern Song Dynasty. .

Fortunately, Su Yonglin didn't have any need to compete with the Southern Song Dynasty. Such words in business and business will never become an iron law, but it is just a beautiful fantasy of everyone, especially between countries.

Su Yonglin even thought about dispatching the navy to directly conquer the major port cities of the Southern Song Dynasty, blocking the water routes of the Southern Song Dynasty's external communication, and directly locking up its foreign trade.

But Su Yonglin then thought about it again and felt that this would cause violent turmoil in the political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, would cause a large number of rebellions in the Southern Song Dynasty, would greatly affect the social stability of the Southern Song Dynasty, and smash the social economy of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not in the interests of Daming .

In his plan, the Ming army's destruction of the Song Dynasty was to destroy the dry and the rotten.

The entire battle process may not take a year. Within a year, he can swallow the entire Southern Song Dynasty, solve the war as quickly as possible, and maximize the economic vitality of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is not in his interest to cause huge damage to the society and economy of the Southern Song Dynasty beforehand, and make the Southern Song Dynasty fall into a situation of beacon fires and rebellions everywhere.

Even Zhao Yucheng of Jiangnan West Road has already started work on land, started to build peasant associations and new countryside, and started to restore social production.

It is conceivable that when the Ming army goes south in the future, they can get a complete and productive Jiangnan West Road that can be used without much investment.

This is the pattern.

Ordinary rebels have no pattern at all. They just fight, kill, burn, burn, loot and loot, destroying social production in a mess, and they have to invest a lot of money to produce output, which is very uneconomical.

As a leader with an open pattern, Su Yonglin has always believed that Jiangnan is already his territory, and treat his territory with gentleness.

Therefore, for the time being, it is not possible to make a ruthless attack on the Southern Song Dynasty.

After doing the math, Su Yonglin felt that the only thing that could be pushed forward was collective agriculture.

Because of China's special geographical location, China's climate controlled by two large air currents will have relatively large natural disasters every five years, including but not limited to droughts, floods, snow disasters, etc. All in all, there are many What a disaster.

China's land does not have the perfect environment for a good harvest like some countries in South America. It must be intensively cultivated and worked hard to get enough food.

This difficult climatic situation has caused the Chinese people to suffer since ancient times, but it has also tempered the ancient Chinese people's strong adaptability and unyielding spirit.

If God does not give it, then create it yourself. One after another seemingly incredible man-made projects appear on this land, and some particularly large projects can even benefit future generations thousands of years later.

The tradition of intensive farming is rooted in this land. A large number of water conservancy projects created by the ancients have allowed some seemingly impossible land to grow food.

Despite this, there are still many, many people who have starved to death due to natural disasters since ancient times, to the point of heartbreak. At the root, it is still difficult for the scattered small-scale peasant economy to cope with large-scale natural disasters.

The ancients also made some attempts with certain elements of the collective economy, such as the national manor economy and the landlord manor economy. Because of their agglomeration, this type of manor is far more resistant to natural disasters and political disasters than ordinary small farmers.

But its essence is not a collective economy for the benefit of the people, but an exploitative means to satisfy private desires, so after all, nothing can be changed.

Fundamentally, the significance of the collective economy is to gather the strength of everyone, to keep warm and resist various natural disasters and other unpredictable disasters.

This cannot directly greatly improve the level of agricultural production, but it can greatly improve the degree of agricultural organization and indirectly create an environment conducive to agricultural production, thereby indirectly improving the level of agricultural production.

The method of operation of the collective economy is to take the peasant association as the leading role, to collect the land of a village, and the peasants take the land as shares as the main distribution standard rather than the only distribution standard.

The distribution standard should also take the amount of labor and labor time into consideration.

In addition, it is necessary to add the consideration of engineering requirements.

For example, a project required by a country needs to use labor on the land. If the economy is a small peasant, each family takes care of each family, then the family with more labor will have an advantage over the family with less labor, and it will be more convenient to operate.

If a family with a large labor force sends a labor force to participate in the project, it will not affect their own land harvest.

And a family with a small labor force sends a labor force to participate in the project, which will affect their own land harvest.

In this case, families with few laborers will have a psychology of resistance and dissatisfaction, which will lead to resentment against the peasant association.

However, if it is a collective economy, this will not be the case. The land is collective, and the collective arrangement is unified to cultivate it. When there is a project demand, the collective arrangement is also involved in the project.

Participating in agricultural labor and participating in engineering labor can be calculated in a unified manner, and both are counted as attendance, and there will be no disputes due to the number of laborers in a single family, and directly solve the problems that are difficult to solve in the small-scale peasant economy.
