Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 598 Chapter 598 Copying and Importing

If the No. [-] embankment just completed at the beginning of this year still has a strong smell of a construction site, then the No. [-] embankment is the mature form of the embankment.

The flatness of the rice fields here, the convenience of water intake from the ditches, the location of the waterwheel pergola, etc., are all in the best condition. However, at this season, Changsun Wuji can only see a piece of grass. The harvested rice root piles are still the rice root piles that have been searched many times by the duck army.

There are traces of wildfires set by children in the fields, and these rice root stumps will be set up and burned by them. Then, in the coldest time of the twelfth lunar month, the farmers will plow these rice fields again.

In winter in the Dongting Lake area, even if there is light snowfall, the land will not be so frozen that it cannot be cultivated like in the north. Moreover, the snow here will never accumulate on the ground for a winter, and it will basically melt within three to five days at most. And when the snow is melting, when you go to plow the fields, the insects in the soil basically have no way to survive, but there are too many water sources, and there are more moths and mosquitoes in summer than in the north. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu often urges the local people not to hunt and kill frogs. Toads, geckos and the like are beneficial insects that feed on locusts, moths, and various field pests.

"It is said that in the next season of this year, the yield of dry rice per mu in your experimental field has reached ninety-seven. Why didn't you report it to the court for credit?" Looking at the rice fields after harvest, Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered this and asked.

"This is just something within the predetermined target, and it is not considered a credit, so it is not reported."

"If you don't report it, will your subordinates be willing?"

"Hehe, if you are a person with fame and fortune in your heart, you can't bear to spend a few years farming here, and those who can farm here, most of them don't care about official salary, achieve the predetermined goal, and increase the high yield. When the crops are grown, they will be happier than being promoted."

Changsun Wuji heard the words, nodded, and asked again, "Then, what is your intended target per mu?"

"After the four-year trial planting of the first phase, the yield reached about [-] stones per mu. After the four-year trial planting of the second phase, the yield reached about [-] stones per mu."

The weight of eleven stones is 320 catties, which is [-] catties less than the [-] catties grown in the first phase of hybrid rice trials in later generations.

The weight of the thirteen stones is 560 catties, which is only [-] catties less than the [-] catties produced by the second phase of hybrid rice trials in later generations.

From this estimate, it can be seen that although Sun Xiangfu is standing on the shoulders of giants and doing pseudo-research, due to the level of technology, he does not expect to surpass the level of later generations. In this period, the only one who is stronger than later generations is That is to say, the ecological environment. The increase to the yield is very small. He uses the same planting technology of later generations in this era. How much he can harvest can only be said to depend on luck.

"Thirteen stones per mu is indeed an unimaginable number, but the price of spending eight years of Zhengming's time is a bit high." After listening to Sun Xiangfu's answer, Changsun Wuji said with a complicated expression.

You know, although Sun Xiangfu has traveled through time for more than seven years, it has only been less than six years since he really entered the court as a courtier. In these five or six years, he has pushed Datang's economy to the present At this point, but now, it is going to take eight years to study high-yielding rice. The gains and losses are really hard to calculate.

"There is no price or no price. All walks of life in Datang need time to grow. Only when the overall progress can promote some industries that have greater needs for us humans to make progress again. Moreover, in the past eight years, it is not impossible for me to Doing other things, settling down to study, disseminating this knowledge to more people, and cultivating tens of thousands of people like me who can farm, is more meaningful than anything else.”

"Hehehe, you are right. I think your folk school is doing well. The people in the entire Shannan Road area will benefit from it. If it can be promoted throughout the country, the output of the people in the Tang Dynasty will definitely increase a lot. , His Majesty restricted you to this Jiuyuan County, it really shouldn't be, I will write to him later to give him some advice..."

"The so-called small ones, people, as long as they see a successful example, they will naturally want to learn and follow up, just like now that Jiuyuan County has become rich, people from other prefectures and counties in the Shannan Road area will come to learn, Then, the entire Shannan Road has become richer, and other state roads will also want to come and learn. It is reasonable to let the people who have learned first, go to teach and learn later. Otherwise, with my voice alone, at most It can also be heard by two to three thousand people at the same time, there are so many people in the world, I can't teach them at all."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words. At this time, they and his party had arrived at Shanghe Village, the temporary residence where Sun Xiangfu did rice seed research. However, it was not here that Sun Xiangfu wanted to show Changsun Wuji, but the public land in the village. , a newly built factory building.

Soon, Changsun Wuji saw several connected brick and tile squares. From rice milling to flour production, to slaughtering ducks and braised meat, there were dozens of processes in the entire system just to provide services for the stalls. After watching Changsun Wuji, I realized that these cart stalls, in addition to labor, can actually achieve [-]% profit, even if the chamber of commerce offers fixed salaries and a certain performance commission to all employees, In the end, as much as [-]% of the money that belongs to the public property is also as high as [-]%, and these data are all posted on the bulletin boards outside these factories.

Changsun Wuji stood in front of this bulletin board for a long time. He even asked Gao Cang, the village head of Shanghe Village, to help him find out some of the expired bulletins. As the village head of Shanghe Village, Gao Cang The warehouse has its own office, which was built together with the factories in the village. There are meeting rooms, document rooms, warehouses and other buildings in the village. The eldest Sun Wuji soon followed Sun Xiangfu to Gaocang's office. in the office.

Then, as Changsun Wuji read the previous public announcements one by one, the context of how the village developed into what it is now is all displayed in front of Changsun Wuji.

"Your system of making all policies public and all money and accounts public is really amazing. It can almost completely eliminate corruption, and it can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work."

Doing it for others and doing it for yourself are completely different things. The Chamber of Commerce will provide the villagers with all the things they need to operate, and pay for the purchase of all the output in the village. Unify the model and set the price for sales. In the village, according to the needs of the Chamber of Commerce, Provide all the raw materials, help the chamber of commerce to make a standard shop, and sell it to the outside world. From the beginning to the end, the villagers just sold their own output and earned wages, so they don't need to worry too much.

The chamber of commerce basically doesn’t have to worry about raw materials, and only sells them to the outside world. Although they earn about [-]% of the entire profit, they need to provide medical care, education, pensions, and other social services for all villagers. The funds for external development, as well as the salaries and dividends of members of the chamber of commerce, both the villagers and the chamber of commerce need output or performance in order to increase their income. The chamber of commerce urges the villagers to be productive, and the villagers urge the chamber of commerce to sell more.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about who is choking who and controlling the other party, because half of the members of the chamber of commerce are representatives elected by the villagers. The chamber of commerce controls the villagers through the management system. If the chamber of commerce is allowed to make money, then the social welfare of the villagers themselves will not be guaranteed.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu also made many regulations for the chamber of commerce. For example, for the profit part, if there is a balance of funds spent on various welfare guarantees, a certain amount of reserves must be accumulated every year. According to the total expenditure of the year, the reserves are enough for more than three years , only to stop saving, and the extra money is allocated to investment.

However, although the current daily profit of the chamber of commerce is nearly 30 guan, there is no large surplus, because the chamber of commerce needs to build more than a dozen hospitals, more than [-] schools that can accommodate more than [-] children in total, and the subsequent medical expenses , children's books, teacher's salary, food, etc., the expenses are also huge.

It's just that the prospects of the chamber of commerce are better, because when the output of the other six embankments reaches the level of No. [-], [-], and [-] yards, the profits of the chamber of commerce will increase again. Once the capital is lost, once it starts to expand its operations to a larger market, then its profit amount will have no bottom.

"These systems are all basic models. If you go with me to Xiahe Village, the town of the No. [-] Courtyard, you will know what kind of energy a town can explode under this model. Then, combined with the entire Jiuyuan County, On the whole, you will know how to copy its model to other counties, of course, I do not recommend you to 'copy' it yourself, you can 'import' it."

"Bring it in?" Changsun Wuji asked while following Sun Xiangfu's footsteps to the carriage outside.

"That's right, when I introduced it, when I designed this management model, I thought that it might not be favored by the court officials, because it almost left officials who had no loopholes to take advantage of, not human beings. People are like my big brother, they want to be an official and want to take care of things, there are many people who want to make money and profit."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, he stopped talking. With the wisdom of Changsun Wuji, he would not fail to think of the following things.

In fact, if all the policies of the imperial court are implemented by local officials, they are basically good policies. No ruler wants to see that his rule is not good, but people's hearts are not enough. Yes, when three meals are not guaranteed, as long as there is a full meal, it is enough, but after being full every day!Everyone will think, eat some meat, delicious food, or even drink some wine.

People who are officials are not all saints, they have all kinds of desires, so Sun Xiangfu does not suggest that Changsun Wuji copy the model of Jiuyuan County in other places, because Changsun Wuji wants to set up another image like this out of thin air. In a place like Jiuyuan County, he would definitely send someone to take the lead, roughly, it should be led by officials of the imperial court, because Changsun Wuji worked for Li Shimin, and the imperial court served Li Tang to rule the entire country.

However, this kind of social welfare mechanism is better if it is dominated by non-governmental organizations.

Because, if the management is good, the people themselves will benefit, and if the management is not good, the people will be the ones who suffer, and they cannot blame the government.However, once the government gets involved, it may become that the management is good, and the court or corrupt officials benefit, while the management is not good, and the common people suffer.

This is also the reason why Sun Dali's sense of presence is very low after the chamber of commerce is in operation. What he has to do is to maintain the local social order, supervise production safety, taxation, and the construction of some public utility projects.

For example, the civil studies class in Jiuyuan County now requires his subordinate criminals to lead a team to maintain continuity every day to prevent stampedes and other safety accidents. Those who need rescue and guidance, even monitor the water level of the Yangtze River along the way. Officials lead people to build road signs, urban gardens, and household officials in the county to review the taxes of various shops and business premises, etc.

If you ask him to manage the operation of the entire chamber of commerce, he may not be able to do it given his level of education and management ability. The common people did not agree, because he managed Jiuyuan County very well and gave everyone the most ideal living environment, so that everyone can do what they are doing now. What the court has to do is actually that simple, to give the people a good life. The environment is fine.

This is the difference between "replication" and "introduction" that Sun Xiangfu said. Let the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce use a mature model to go directly to the newly built Yuantian districts and counties to promote this model. It is necessary to give them the green light to do their job well in the social and public service services that they should do.
