Chapter 976 The Masters of Time Management in the Second Half of the Twelfth Century
In fact, from what Su Yonglin knows so far, the collective economy has already begun to emerge on its own in some regions.

Because the frequent infrastructure construction at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China required a large amount of labor, which affected agricultural production and caused conflicts among farmers' families.

In order to solve this contradiction, many local peasant associations have begun to explore the collective economy in practice.

Su Yonglin learned from the reports of some local revival associations the measures taken by some nimble peasant association instructors.

When there is a dispute between a family with more labor and a family with less labor, the peasant association will come forward and ask the family with more labor to help the family with less labor to cultivate the land.

They can then take a portion of the harvest from the portion of the land they help cultivate as a reward.

While gaining more benefits, it can also ensure that families with few laborers have enough food to eat without losing too much.

But the situation still hurts families with less labor, who feel they have less harvest.

Families with a lot of labor will also feel dissatisfied, because they spend their time helping others on their own land, and maybe they can get more harvests, not just a little [payment].

Both families with a large labor force and families with a small labor force feel that they are at a disadvantage and feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, whenever there is a project, the families with less labor are not very willing to dispatch, and the families with more labor will feel unfair after a long time, so they refuse to help the families with less labor to cultivate the land.

When this happens, the peasant association is very troubled, and the leaders of the peasant association can only go off the field to help with the farm work, coordinate manpower and material resources and farm cattle, in exchange for more families to work.

But this doesn't exactly solve the problem.

In many places, civil disputes have arisen because of such contradictions, and the quarrels are endless, which has caused great headaches for the local peasant associations.

They were unable to solve the problem on their own and were too tired to cope. They could only report to their superiors many times and ask for mediation.

As a result, the headquarters of the Zhongdu Revival Association has received many similar reports.

At first, Su Yonglin was incapable of avatars and knew the solution, but he couldn't move forward for a while.

He could only arrange a group of planners to prepare for the calculation of the collective economic distribution method to prepare for the subsequent collective agricultural reform.

Now that some energy has been spared, and the planners have also achieved certain results, he decided to start promoting the construction of the collective economy, upgrading the peasant associations to agricultural production cooperatives, and making the collective economy the mainstream of land production in the Ming Dynasty.

From then on, the Ming Kingdom will bid farewell to the scattered small-scale peasant economy and establish a collective agricultural economy that cooperates with each other and takes risks with each other.

And at this stall, it's time to test the planners.

This set of operations looks good, but to run successfully, it requires a fairly sophisticated and reliable way of calculating work points for the collective farming team to uniformly distribute it after harvest.

Issues related to distribution are crucial and directly determine the life and death of the collective economy.

The accounting team needs to go to the rural areas in person, and set up different calculation methods for collective agriculture in different areas according to the type of soil, the type of crops grown, etc.

At the same time, they also borrowed the half-piece rate distribution method successfully operated in the workshop, trying to integrate this principle into farmers' production actions to enhance farmers' enthusiasm for production.

This is an extremely large and complex project, and regional differences are the main problem.

Fortunately, Su Yonglin introduced the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and Arabic numerals to his opponents very early. He also attached great importance to the mathematical calculation ability of officials. The imperial examinations regarded mathematical calculation as a very important assessment content.

Therefore, at present, there are a large number of officials in the imperial court, and they are widely used in all aspects of the imperial government.

For example, the artillery unit is relying on the team of planners to carry out the scientific calculation of the ballistics. The planners will help the artilleryman calculate the longest range and the best shooting angle of the artillery, and begin to introduce the concept of the sight and the sight to help them determine the shooting. direction to improve shooting accuracy.

There are many mathematical problems involved in this aspect, and the amount of calculation is also very large, which cannot be solved in a short time.

In contrast, the distribution of the collective economy is also very important and complex.

Since the second year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin had arranged for a group of planners to prepare for mathematics. Now that some results have been achieved, he can start to select individual regions for experiments on collective economy.

Use the calculation results in the collective economy experiment, take a period of time to carry out the experiment, and when the final result comes out, you can summarize the experience, check the gaps and fill the gaps, and then promote this system to the whole society.

Once this system is successfully promoted, Su Yonglin can believe that at least in terms of infrastructure construction, there will be no labor problems from now on.

A large number of primary water conservancy projects and road projects can be launched, and the resistance of Ming agriculture to natural disasters will be greatly enhanced, and the court's control over society will be further enhanced.

It will also be a crucial step on the road to implementing social change.

So in July of the fourth year of Hongwu, when there was a large-scale ideological turmoil in the Southern Song Dynasty because of "Hongwu Political Theory", Su Yonglin independently established the Ministry of Agriculture to comprehensively promote agricultural production and agricultural reform.

Part of the powers were split from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, and became the powers of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Su Yonglin endowed the Ministry of Agriculture with considerable power, ranging from national agricultural policies to local agricultural production and agricultural disasters.

For now, the most important task of the Ministry of Agriculture is to promote the upgrading of peasant associations to agricultural cooperatives, and to extensively build a collective economy on the land of the Ming Dynasty, taking this task as the most important task of the Ministry of Agriculture to promote.

The initial collective economy pilot was arranged nearby, and the Ministry of Agriculture decided to launch a collective economy pilot in [-] villages around Zhongducheng.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Agriculture sent special personnel into these fifty villages to find the villagers to give lectures on the collective economy, and then brought the leaders of the peasant associations of the fifty villages to the Ministry of Agriculture for a meeting, so that they could collectively learn the key points of the collective economy.

These [-] villages will carry out the transformation of the collective economy after the autumn harvest this year, and will fully enter the collective economy state in the spring of next year.

The experimental period shall not exceed three years. During these three years, we shall observe the advantages and disadvantages of the collective economy, find out deficiencies and fill in the gaps, adjust policies, and strive to come up with a set of collective economic policies that can be popularized across the country.

After arranging these things, Su Yonglin's work has not become easier, but has become busier.

Dealing with government affairs, dealing with chores, accompanying Zhao Xirui and her growing son, paying attention to the formation of the drama troupe from time to time, and taking time to write articles, these are equivalent to the daily life that will not change, but accompanied by the emergence of some unexpected situations , he also needs to devote his energy to it.

A master of time management in the second half of the twelfth century.

Of course, this is not what he wants. He wants to relax, but there is no such condition.

It was as if in mid-July, news of the flood crisis came again in the Yellow River Project, so Su Yonglin left Zhongdu again and went to Kaifeng.

With the previous experience, Tian Guizi well coordinated the forces of all parties to deal with the flood peak, and survived this year's rainy season without any risk.

In late August, Su Yonglin ended his southern tour and returned to the Central Capital, ready to welcome the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the next period of time, the Yellow River Project will continue to advance rapidly.

Tian Guizi expects to be able to complete almost half of the project volume five years before Hongwu, laying the foundation for most of the entire project, and the next projects will be carried out on these foundations, and the efficiency will be very high.

He initially expected to complete the Yellow River diversion project before the end of the seventh year of Hongwu, return the Yellow River to its original route, save the banks of the Huai River, and restore the life of both banks of the Huai River.

At the latest, the project will be completely completed before the middle of Hongwu's eighth year.

According to his prediction, Su Yonglin also set the time point for the official southward extermination of the Song Dynasty to be around the eighth year of Hongwu. Before that, it was the time for the army to accumulate grain and train the new army, and it was also the time to continue to promote the internal reform of the Ming Dynasty.

When the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty escorted the army to the Central Capital, Su Yonglin also learned the results of the Shenji Camp's first battle.

Su Yonglin was very happy to learn that Shenjiying became famous in the first battle and killed more than 30 enemies with one person killing more than [-] people and injuring more than [-] enemies.

The success of the Shenji Battalion's tactics means that this set of tactics and firearms is meaningful to the Ming army, as well as to the mainstream combat methods of this era.

Even, they can change the laws of war in this era.

Today, the armed forces of the landlords in Guanzhong can be wiped out, and tomorrow, the armed forces of the reactionary forces in Jiangnan can be wiped out.
