Chapter 85 Mode of Production
Xu Jiayi has now stopped studying.
The Xu family is unable to make ends meet, and now they are barely able to make ends meet, and they will no longer invest money in free education.
The suspension of Xu Jiayi School has deprived 50,000 students of a place to study.
In particular, students who dropped out of Songjiang Prefecture Public School before are now doubly remorseful.
Because now they go back to school and have to pay double the tuition.
One or two taels of silver per semester, this price still makes most parents feel painful.
After the closure of Xu Jiayi School, many parents could only send their children back with tears in their eyes because their children had no school to go to school.
It's just a second enrollment, then there is no subsidy policy.
Originally, Xu Yi and Yamen subsidized a quarter of the tuition fee of one or two silver per semester, so that students only had to spend 500 wen a semester to go to school.
But now I want to enroll again, so I don't subsidize the tuition, and the tuition fee is clearly one or two silver.
In addition, Xu Yi had already informed that he would need to pay double the tuition fee for re-registration.
So now if you sign up for the second time, you need to pay two taels of silver before you can continue to go to school.
Two taels of silver is not a small amount.
Many parents saw this price and not only cursed this strange rule in their hearts.
But in reality, this parent can only empty his wallet and secretly cry in his heart.
The free ones are the most expensive.
Parents in Huating County, 500 years ahead of the times, have learned this truth profoundly.
Xu Yi's public education system, in the process of operation, has always lost money.
But after this wave of operations, he actually made a lot of money.
Not only did I earn back the student's subsidy, but I also earned a lot.
Put all this money into education and let them use it where it should be used.
The Songjiang public school system, which has more than 70,000 students throughout Songjiang Prefecture, has grown and the number is rising.
Of the more than 70,000 students, there are an average of 6,000 per class.
It is estimated that there will be about 3,000 left to finish high school.
According to the average level of this era, it is already remarkable to have a high level of Chinese.
As long as you pass the graduation exam, you can enter the university established by Xu Yi to go to school and learn technology and culture.
The school established by Xu Yi can skip grades infinitely from primary school to middle school, and even to university.
As long as the ability is reached, all schools can skip a grade and graduate for one year.
This school system is Xu Yi's creative invention.
All children can skip a grade as long as they are able to do so.
Not only can you save on tuition, but you can also get a scholarship for skipping a grade and save time in school.
Xu Yi even blatantly encouraged students to skip grades, and the more they jumped, the more scholarships they had.
According to the modern education model, it takes at least 16 years to receive a complete school education.
But FIB doesn't know when consciousness will come to this world.
Maybe twenty years, thirty years, forty years, maybe fifty years more.
If you wait for sixteen years, Xu Yi will be able to have the first batch of "college students".
If that's the case, it's really too slow, so just surrender.
Therefore, Xu Yi must not adopt a modern school system, and must improve the speed of accelerated graduation of students.
As long as you can complete the graduation exam, you will be considered to have completed school.
It doesn't matter if you're 12 or 20 years old, as long as you get a diploma, you can work.
This is the education model that Xu Yi needs.
Xu Yi is an ordinary person who does not have three heads and six arms.
It's impossible to move mountains and reclaim the sea like the protagonists of those legends, and do everything yourself.
Now, Xu Yi has put in his own hands the medical insurance system, Songjiang Hospital, Ming Chu Bank, newspaper business, post office business, construction and other projects.
It's all assigned to the people below, if Xu Yi is allowed to control all the projects by himself, I'm afraid Xu Yi will be directly exhausted.
In the future, the plate that Xu Yi can control is getting bigger and bigger, and if he doesn't cultivate talents now, he can only use people in the future, and his eyes are black.
Only through education and cultivating more talents is the best way to discover talents.
..
In the past few days, a lot of work has been done in the water-powered yarn mill and the water-powered weaving mill.
The initial efficiency of the machine is good, and the production of forty manpower on top of one machine is good.
With the advancement of the three-shift work system, Xu Yi's output has also increased.
The quantity of weaving products is getting closer and closer to the demand quantity of those thirteen orders.
It is estimated that in the fourth month, all orders can be fulfilled absolutely.
However, with an efficient production method, Xu Yi is still not happy.
Although, these spinning machines and weaving machines are about 200 years more advanced than the current era.
Although, compared to a serious modern factory, these things can only be said to be a clay workshop.
Although, through production, more cloth can be sold and more money can be earned.
But those who are familiar with history understand what it means to be a cyclical social crisis.
If Xu Yi made cloth in large quantities, he would not be able to adapt to the production relations of this era.
As Xu Yi's industrial cloth sells, the smaller farmers in the countryside who weave for a living will have less source of income.
Without a source of income, there is no money to buy cloth.
And the people in the city don't wear ten pieces of clothing.
Therefore, even if Xu Yi manufactures a large number of fabrics, he can't sell them.
So, this creates a cyclical crisis in society.
Xu Yi's cloth can't be sold, and the people have no money in their pockets to buy cloth.
Such a social crisis is known as the bankruptcy of small farmers.
As a feudal society, the Ming Dynasty was dominated by yeoman farmers and small and medium-sized landlords, and its economy was very fragile.
If Xu Yi produced cloth in large quantities and caused the smallholder economy to go bankrupt, there would inevitably be multiple crises such as famine, war, and civil strife.
Therefore, even if Xu Yi establishes an efficient production model, in this environment, he must gradually and slowly promote the reform of mechanization.
Otherwise, after the bankruptcy of small farmers, the cyclical laws of society will give Xu Yi a heavy blow and destroy everything Xu Yi has established.
You can't rush, you can only take it one step at a time.
Xu Yi now has a huge production capacity, but he can't produce too much, which is undoubtedly a pain.
This is also similar to some stories about "milk can't be sold, so you can only pour milk into the river".
So when will it be mass-produced?
Xu Yi thought about this question again and again, there can only be two ways.
The first method.
These cloths could not appear in the economic system of the Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, after these cloths are sold, they cannot be sold in Daming and cannot be circulated in the market of Daming.
Only in this way will the small peasants, who account for the main body of society, not go bankrupt, and the large number of handicraftsmen will not lose their jobs, and will not produce a violent social crisis.
The second.
The cloth produced could only circulate in an economic circle that was not dominated by small farmers.
Under such a top-level design, the excessive import of commodities has nothing to do with smallholder farmers.
Because the main body of society is not a peasant, casual encounters will not lead to the bankruptcy of small farmers, and it will not interfere with the normal life of small farmers.
Therefore, only by establishing such an economic circle and isolating the two economies can we begin to develop benignly.
Why did Xu Yi want to wipe out all the three major families in the entire Songjiang Mansion before?
That's why.
Only by eliminating all the conservative forces and feudal forces in a region can we completely establish an economic circle with internal circulation.
Only by doing so, on the one hand, will not destroy the huge and fragile agricultural economic circle of the Ming Dynasty, so that the society will not collapse in the process of change and produce civil strife.
On the other hand, a stable environment can be obtained, which enables the rapid development of economic models and science and technology.
Therefore, the economic circle established by Xu Yi must at least fully control the territory of a prefecture in order to realize the economic cycle.
After that, even if an economic circle was established in Songjiang Province.
However, except for Songjiang Prefecture, it still has to be a society dominated by a small-scale peasant economy, and cannot participate in the economic circle cycle established by Xu Yi.
But Xu Yi didn't have so much energy, and he eradicated the conservative feudal forces in various places one by one.
Therefore, the unexpected conservative forces in Songjiang Mansion can only change them slowly.
Even cleaning up the three major families of Songjiang Mansion, such a seemingly simple thing, Xu Yi was very troublesome to do.
Even under the acceleration of Xu Yi's unscrupulous means, the full integration of Songjiang Mansion.
It is estimated that it will have to wait until Guo Xun, the Duke of Yiguo, is killed by the first assistant Xia Yan and officially bids farewell to the historical stage, before Xu Yi can take the most difficult bone of the Guo family.
To fully control Songjiang Mansion and Xu Yi clean up the conservative forces in Songjiang Mansion, it is estimated that it will take three full years.
If you want to completely eliminate the conservative landlords of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that there is only one way to go to war.
However, under the invasion crisis of the FIB, it is impossible to conduct a war within the Ming Dynasty, and it is an option that does not need to be considered at all.
The addition of a foreign enemy and a civil war is simply self-defeating, and only an idiot would do it.
The best way Xu Yi has found now is to improve the society as much as possible without destroying the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a model may also be the fastest and safest way to go.
