Guo Zongxun said very happily, he has reason to be proud, in just half a year, he turned everyone feared Ye upside down, even if he can be a minister, he can't do this, for a child who is not yet thirteen years old, it is definitely an unprecedented achievement.

Of course, being able to do this is inseparable from Ye Hua's mention, Qi Tongwen's teachings, and the support of so many classmates. No matter what, as the crown prince, he has made great contributions. What makes Guo Zongxun even more pleased is that he seems to have found a way to make the world better, and this is the emperor's responsibility!

Guo Zongxun planned to turn each cooperative into a farm owned by its members. That's why he named the cooperative a group, bringing everyone together and hugging them together!

In the past, it was the landlords who owned a huge amount of land, and the tenant farmers rented the land to cultivate the land, paid the rent, and supported the landlords. Now everyone is a landlord, but because of the dispersion of forces, they cannot resist the risks, so they unite everyone through cooperatives. Work together and share the results together.

A cooperative can sell tens of thousands of catties of grain, so it has the power to bargain. It can increase income, and the increased income can be used to build schools, provide low-interest loans for poor people, build water conservancy projects, and even build medical centers and workshops...... A little bit of money can become the principal of the people's prosperity......

Guo Zongxun once studied economics with Ye Hua, he was still very young at that time, and vaguely remembered the idea of optimal allocation of resources, but when Guo Zongxun really went to Yecheng, he found that the situation was different from what Mr. said.

The so-called optimal allocation is to have resources.

For example, if you have the money, do you go to dinner, or buy a pair of shoes, do you satisfy your stomach, or do you satisfy your feet...... This is where the question arises of how to choose the optimization.

But if you don't even have a little money, you are poor and white, and then you talk about optimization, it is a lack of strings in your head.

Unfortunately, Yecheng is in this state.

The vast majority of peasant households have little surplus over the course of a year, and even have to borrow money to get by.

The few people who have a surplus, because they are worried about the risk, also hide their money and grain, like squirrels, hide pine nuts for the winter, and dare not take them out to spend at all.

In a word, Yecheng has no resources to optimize!

What to do?

The economics that the teacher talked about didn't work.

Fortunately, people are smart and can often find a new way when the mountains and rivers are restored.

At the same time, a family, no matter how poor it is, can squeeze out a little food, a little mulberry hemp, a strong man, a dexterous woman, and always find a way to increase output...... With this little book, the road will be smoother and smoother.

Not only Ye Hua, Qi Tongwen, but also other teachers have talked about the issue of land annexation, once a large number of farmers go bankrupt, the world will be in turmoil, and the dynasty will change.

Han Tang is better than that, if Da Zhou wants to jump out of the circle of chaos and chaos, the only way to do it is to suppress mergers and suppress Haoqiang, which is what Chai Rong did.

But this alone is not enough, it is also necessary to increase the ability of the people and improve their capabilities.

Establish schools, run education, and prepare for workshops...... To achieve this, it is not possible to rely on the input of the imperial court alone, and it is necessary to rely on cooperatives. Maybe one day, the common people can read and write and master certain skills, and the cooperative can be abolished, but before that, this step must be taken.

Guo Zongxun is more confident than ever, he has really found a way...... This kind of happiness is difficult for outsiders to experience.

"The emperor is doing a good job."

Chai Rong praised him, and suddenly said, "I heard that you have elected some people in charge of the cooperative?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo Zongxun said: "Father, in fact, it is very easy to reason with the common people, the key is to convince them...... After all, it is the hard-earned money of the big guys, so it is necessary to nominate the villagers with prestige and credit, let them participate, and even invite all the villagers to discuss and decide together when necessary. ”

Guo Zongxun said proudly: "I learned a method from the master, that is, to give beans to the villagers, red beans represent support, mung beans represent opposition, and the minority obeys the majority, such as building a school, things that seem to be troublesome, but in fact, they are decided in one night." The villagers would choose the best plot of land to use as a school, and then build their own houses, all at a low cost. All they really need is some good teachers. Father, doesn't the imperial court have a huge budget for education? It can be taken out as a teacher's shackle! The imperial court can also stipulate that if you work as a teacher in the countryside for five years, you can enter the officialdom without going through the imperial examination! “

Guo Zongxun said excitedly: "Father, as long as this is done, I think more than half of the villages will be able to have schools within a few years, and more than half of the children will be enrolled, even if it is ruled by three generations, it will not be as good as the Great Zhou!" ”

The little one's eyes lit up, and he even danced with his hands.

But he suddenly found that his father's eyes didn't seem to be very pleasant, and he could only swallow back the words on his lips.

"The son has lost his temper, please ask my father to surrender!"

Chai Rong chuckled and said, "You have merit and hard work, didn't the king of Shang want to invite you to eat shabu mutton?" I'm also tired, and there are still military affairs to deal with, so go down! ”

Guo Zongxun did not get the support of his father, and came out of the palace with a stomach full of questions.

For the next whole month, Guo Zongxun was anxiously waiting, but there was no news in the palace. However, Chai Rong sent a few men and horses to cross the line of the Great Wall, attack the Khitan, rob cattle, sheep and horses, and capture slaves......

"Alas, Your Majesty has slowed down the pace of the requisition, but has not approved the cooperative, the holy will is unpredictable!" Li Xian sighed, "Senior brother, I heard that Zhao Pu entered the palace a few days ago, and he played several corrupt officials, all of whom were from Hebei...... Two of them were raised by the cooperative, and Zhao Pu also said that the cooperative has a great deal to do with the rule of officials. ”

Li Shi sneered, "This guy was still hiding, but now he is getting more and more impatient and shirtless!" ”

Of course, Ye Hua is clear, "The cooperatives have not been able to implement it for a long time, and the biggest problem is only four words: grace from above!" ”

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Chai Rong is a very strong emperor, the stronger he is, the more he has to grasp the power in his own hands.

However, cooperatives are bottom-up, and the people elect a few leaders to be responsible for internal and external affairs...... If dozens of cooperatives unite and speak with one voice, will they be able to influence local officials, counties, prefectures, governments, and roads...... After arriving, how much power is left of the Son of Heaven?

Especially now, most of the people who are elected are martial artists who have fought in wars.

The reason is very simple, the martial artist is more fierce than ordinary people, and he will not immediately commit hypochondria in the face of the government, and he can calm the scene. Moreover, they have the knowledge to lead the brothers in battle, and they have the ability to manage.

Taking Yecheng as an example, more than 60 of the more than 80 agricultural cooperatives are all controlled by martial artists.

To put it more clearly, every cooperative is a loose barracks.

Some cooperatives even organize young people to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.

It is not surprising that the continued expansion of the power of the martial arts, the worries of the Son of Heaven, the fear of the civilian officials, and the delay of the cooperatives in pushing forward.

Of course, Chai Rong also knew that under the existing circumstances, it was impossible to fight on a large scale. Therefore, he changed his strategy last year, and instead of concentrating on crossing the Great Wall and destroying the Khitan, he led the troops separately with generals and adopted the mode of encroachment, crossed the Great Wall, and expelled the Khitan.

finally took a step back, and Li Xi felt that it was still acceptable.

"If it can go on like this, it will last for a few years, and so on...... It's going to be a lot better. He wanted to say that he would wait for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but he didn't say it.

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "Senior brother, there are some things, I'm afraid we can't control them." The use of troops abroad, the situation in Hedong is pitiful, stop using soldiers, will you be honest when you are on those farms? ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xi muttered: "Will they destroy the small-scale peasant economy? ”

Ye Hua said: "Anyway, if I have money, I will want to make money make money." This time, Peng Hai's matter was not so easy to pass. What worries me the most is that in the past, the farm and the court were single-minded, but in the future, they will not be so honest and obedient. ”

Li Shi was dumbfounded, Rao was brilliant and intelligent, and he also had a strong sense of involuntarily.

Two economies, two models, tearing each other, the Chinese Wu Junchen, intricate, he felt that he was going to be divided into two halves.

"Senior brother, the lives of countless people are also pressed on you, be careful!"

Ye Hua smiled: "I'm doing my best!" ”

……

Guo Zongxun has returned to Beijing for more than three months, and the little boy has gained weight twice, but he misses the days of Hedong even more, very busy, but very fulfilling.

After returning to Beijing, he was named the crown prince, but in addition to the first summons, he only met with his father twice, once to worship his ancestors during the New Year, and once to hunt in the spring. Father and son said less than ten sentences combined.

Guo Zongxun didn't dare to mention the matter of the cooperative.

Don't worry about it, little guy.

Seeing that it had entered April, suddenly there was an urgent report from Hebei, and there was a large-scale locust plague, including Yecheng, more than a dozen prefectures and counties were devoured by overwhelming locusts, and there was not half a green leaf left in the place where it passed. The winter wheat planted last year was eaten up by locusts not long after it returned to green, and the summer grain harvest was almost a foregone conclusion!

The cabinet estimates that at least one million stone of grain will be provided for emergency relief.

After Guo Zongxun learned the news, he was so anxious that he had to risk the possibility of being reprimanded and begged to see his father, he wanted to go to Hedong to see what happened to those cooperatives?

What Guo Zongxun didn't expect was that Wang Pu and Ye Hua had already arrived first, and Chai Rong said with a calm face: "You two accompanied the prince to Yecheng to investigate the disaster, if there is anything, play it truthfully!" ”
