Agriculture, industrialization, informatization.

No matter what the era, no matter what the changes.

In fact, it can be summed up as a change, from agriculture to commercialization, and then the change, which can only be regarded as a breakthrough change in itself.

Although industrialization and informatization are the first in the world and are also regarded as two completely different eras, their inner meaning is the same, they are both the same business word.

Therefore, now Datang is also facing this problem.

Industrialization, Li Yuanji has been proposing for several years, and this point is also advancing little by little, although the speed is not fast, but starting from scratch cannot be regarded as slow.

If society wants to progress, it must break the existing setting, as the so-called does not break and does not stand.

If we want to maintain agriculture, we can develop in other aspects, but there is a limit to the space for development.

But agriculture cannot be completely abandoned, after all, this is the foundation of human survival, even if an empire is strong, as long as its own food needs to be provided from outside, then the country is equivalent to handing over its lifeblood to others, which is absolutely impossible.

Say a thousand, to ten thousand, to sum up is still a question of one sentence, how to achieve a balance?

In fact, it is very simple, it is enough to control the number of people in an area.

A large population will inevitably lead to a decline in the average sharing rate of public resources, and if the population is small, public resources must not be built.

In the same way, places with large populations face the problem of providing a large number of jobs to support their livelihoods, which in turn takes up arable land and affects food production.

Among them, the most influential is the Central Plains, which has existed almost since China entered industrialization, and it has not been solved until Li Yuanji crossed.

The population density is too high, and it has to take on the task of a granary, and there is not much room for other developments.

It's better now, in the later generations, more people than the two Datang people are crowded into one Central Plains region, think about how much pressure should there be?

But that's another question, back to the present.

Ma Zhou's doubts are indeed the problems encountered at the moment, and it is not so easy to solve them, but if you really want to get serious, it is not difficult.

It's just that Li Yuanji hasn't had a good idea for a while.

It is nothing more than two templates, one is the era of planned economy and the other is the era of freedom and openness.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but how to operate depends on their own choices.

"Prince!" Li Yuanji suddenly commanded.

The method must be decided today, and there is no time to delay it, but this matter can also involve the prince, which can be regarded as accumulating some experience, and if you can get some gains, it will naturally be better.

During this period, Li Yuanji has also been thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the two.

However, Li Yuanji's brain hole has never been restricted.

The biggest advantage of the planned economy is stability, and the biggest disadvantage is that it is not open enough, and it is okay in a short period of time, which will bring about rapid development, and it will definitely be the most suitable method for the current Datang.

However, in the long run, the planned economy is again showing a dead spirit, and sooner or later it will have to follow the spirit of reform and opening up, although this is only an internal change.

It is not impossible to take the step of reform and opening up directly, but the problem now is that the people have not fully accepted it, and they do not have the courage to do these things.

After all, a factory is not a joke, just relying on a person's net worth, it is impossible to hold up, in the early stage, you must borrow money everywhere, or even take out loans, it is easy to say if it succeeds, but what if it fails?

This is not a problem, the biggest problem is that there is no experience.

They don't have any business experience, especially when it comes to net worth, this will be a big problem, and few people dare to gamble on themselves.

But if you want to avoid any estrangement and vacuum period, the best way is to do both at the same time, so that the two will not have some vacuum period, and they can be perfectly connected.

In the beginning, it is inevitable that the planned economy will have the upper hand, and when the free economy will have the upper hand, the planned economy can be withdrawn gradually and in an orderly manner, provided that there is an influx of sufficient private capital, and only in this way will it not cause any turmoil.

As for state manipulation, this method is not impossible, but in the long run, the integration of government and business is not a good decision, which will greatly breed an environment of corruption.

"Father ......" didn't have much effort, and Li Chengguang rushed over from the East Palace.

Li Yuanji nodded, which was a response.

But this time, Li Yuanji didn't plan to ask Li Chengguang's opinion, this matter is too profound, Li Chengguang is afraid that he won't be able to answer anything, instead of wasting time, it is better to let him listen more.

"It's okay to open up some technology, but the form has to be changed, the people have never operated like this, and I'm worried that they don't have enough confidence, so the best way should be to be sponsored by the imperial court, and each place will be responsible for selecting the project, and then sending someone to manage it, so that the efficiency can be guaranteed, and more jobs can be provided." However, this is not enough, but it is also necessary to encourage private investment in the private sector, and the two complement each other, and ensure that resources are treated as fairly as possible. Li Yuanji said directly.

"The direct involvement of the imperial court?" Ma Zhou was stunned, he originally wanted to let the commercial group expand the scope of investment, but he didn't expect Li Yuanji to be even more desperate and directly let the government participate.

But in this way, how can it be fair in terms of resources?

However, since Li Yuanji said so, there must be a reason in it, Ma Zhou only expressed his doubts, but he didn't ask more.

"The imperial court cooperates directly with the local government, in which the imperial court invests in technology and 10% of the capital, occupies 40% of the shares, and is responsible for the later technology update, and the local government invests the remaining funds, occupies 60% of the shares, and is responsible for operation and maintenance. In addition, each county can also introduce some projects on its own and make them assets of the county, but these should be planned by the state government to avoid too high overlap of projects, which will lead to production and no one cares. Li Yuanji explained roughly, but he hadn't thought about some issues clearly, so he didn't say it too clearly.

However, Ma Zhou heard something to put it bluntly, the real purpose of these factories is not to make a profit, or in other words, in front of the official, they are not profitable, but more just to provide some jobs, and when they are external, they can be profitable.

"For example, a cement workshop, established by the imperial court in cooperation with the state government, is still only paid for its use, and if an individual wants to start it, then his cement can only be sold to ordinary people?" Ma Zhou said.

"That's the reason, if there is excess production capacity, it can also be sold to the private sector to make money, but at this time, you need to compete with private workshops for price and quality." Li Yuanji nodded.

"But the problem is that the workshops of the imperial court only have wages, and the materials are not paid, but the private workshops need to pay for everything, and the costs of the two are not the same at all. Ma Zhou immediately shook his head, this is not a good way.

One has a cost, the other has no cost, so it's not how to sell and how to make money?

The people are not stupid, there are low prices and good quality, why not choose the low price? Even if the quality is the same, why buy expensive ones? Too much money to spend nowhere?

Even if the price of the imperial court workshop is limited, even if they sell at the lowest price, it is still a big profit, but the private workshop is not necessarily, the starting point of the two is not the same at all, how can people play? Didn't have to play at all.

The focus of the planned economy lies here, and its core content lies in the task of giving down tasks, producing when receiving tasks, and the raw materials they need can be asked for by the tasks and free of charge, while they maintain normal expenses by relying on state appropriations, and basically there is no income-generating task.

In the later period, the state allocation could not keep up, so I remembered to generate income independently, but even so, the advantages were obvious in the early stage.

However, in the later stage, because the technology could not keep up, the sales volume was not good, and a huge amount of money was needed to maintain the expenditure, and the income could not make ends meet, so it was naturally slowly eliminated.

"Father, the son thinks that it can be divided into planning tasks and free tasks, and planning tasks are tasks issued by the imperial court, and they can get raw materials to produce at zero cost, and they can also provide them at zero cost. But if they are free, they need to buy raw materials at normal prices, so that the gap between the two will not be widened. At the same time, it can be regarded as adding some income items to relevant units. Li Chengguang also understood that the knowledge of more than a year was not learned in vain, and this insight is still there.

Don't look at him as just a little doll, when it comes to reasoning, he is not much worse than adults, of course, there is still a gap compared to those old fritters.

"Well, this plan is feasible, appropriately release a part of the production capacity for revenue, these funds can be used to maintain the normal operation of the workshop, as long as it is controlled within a certain range, after the workshop is completed, the imperial court will no longer have to invest, and when the planned task is basically completed, it can also be fully invested in commercial tasks for revenue." Fang Xuanling echoed, although this method seems to have some problems, it is actually not a big problem.

On the contrary, he is more concerned about corruption.

Although the current atmosphere is very good, in the face of a large amount of liquidity, whether there is anyone who can't control his own hands, that is another question, he dare not guarantee, no one dares to guarantee.

Of course, what if you can't control it?

If you can't control it, can you just stop doing it? In this case, human society is probably still a primitive society.

"Well, Xuan Ling and Ma Zhou will come up with the best plan for this matter, and the project will give priority to the three directions of railway, cement road, and truck close to ......."
