The word cooperative contains two parts, one is cooperative, and the other is cooperative.

In ancient times, the shrine originally referred to the land god and the place, day, and ritual of worshipping the land god, such as the spring shrine, the autumn shrine, and the shrine. She is the god of the earth, Ji is the god of ceres, and the ancient monarch sacrificed to the Sheji, and later borrowed to refer to the country.

Later, the society also became a group or institution, such as a school society, a newspaper office, an association, etc.

In ancient times, the society was also the local grass-roots organizational structure, the Spring and Autumn Qi country 25 for the community, 25 families divided into a li, the same mile to establish a society, a long time, the li, the community will be used interchangeably. The community also has the meaning of geographical scope.

Gu Yanwu Zengyun, the name of the society originated from the ancient inner society and the inner society, so the ancients took the township as the society.

The society is not only a grassroots unit, but also an organizational group.

The Gathering Society, also known as the Society, is no longer just a simple grassroots organizational unit, but has also become the title of a group organization, such as the Tea Society, the Bow and Arrow Society, the Chess Society, the Biandan Society, the Zhongyi Society, etc., similar to the guild.

Li Xiao now wants to set up a cooperative, but not to establish a peer organization, but to form an association to raise cattle cooperatively.

Because of this, his society is not called a cow society, but a cooperative, and cooperation is the definition of this society.

Collaboration is also the meaning of partnership.

The three cooperatives are simple and clear, and the princess almost understands it.

"Is it good for you to build a cooperative? A thousand cows is a lot of money, so you won't lose money? "The princess didn't know much about agricultural production, but subconsciously felt that it didn't seem to be a good deal.

After all, other landlords have cattle in their hands, but they will not give them to the farmers for free, they are all rented, either directly collect the rent money, or agree with the farmers that the fields cultivated by the cattle will be used as cattle rent every year.

"This is a kind of cooperation, focusing on mutual assistance and win-win, and there will be no loss."

"But why don't you rent your cattle to the farmers, like other landlords?"

Li Xiao explained, "I raise cattle in associations and cooperate with farmers, so I don't need to feed and take care of them, just ask a veterinarian to check them regularly." ”

"But if you raise your own cattle and hire some shepherd boys and cowherds, it doesn't really cost much, this labor money is actually not worth mentioning compared to your cattle rent, right? Renting cattle obviously makes more money! ”

The princess's account is clear, and it is.

But Li Xiao likes money, but he is not a person who has to fall into the eyes of money. It's one thing how others make money, he doesn't want to do that, anyway, cooperatives can also make money, but they just earn more and earn less, and he believes that in this way of cooperatives, in addition to making money, he can also harvest a lot of other things he wants, such as fame.

A small landowner who has no foundation, sometimes this good reputation is of great help and can provide him with many conveniences.

The princess smiled, shook her head, and said, "It's still like that, you always think things differently from other people, just like the last time you asked you to be an official, but you refused to accept it." No one else understands, and so do I. Now it's like this again, you can make more money by raising yourself, but you have to get a community to raise it. ”

"Fortunately, you are just a small landlord, if you are a minister and a minister, maybe there will be a royal history to impeach you for buying people's hearts and having bad intentions." The princess reminded him.

Li Xiao spread his hands.

"I'm just a small landowner in the countryside, and I want to be a local sage in the Tang Dynasty, but I don't have any bad intentions, so what can I plot."

"So fortunately, you are a small landowner, don't worry about that."

The princess asked, "Do you have enough money to buy so many cattle?" If it's not enough, come to me and get the money. ”

"I still have money in my hand."

"Where did you get so much money, your family business can also be seen, forget it, don't you want to form an association, then how about I join the society and participate in a share."

Li Xiao didn't expect this.

Originally, his club didn't consider letting others buy any shares, and the club was just a name. The cattle come and go, and then the farmer who joins the community takes the cattle to feed and uses them for free, which is the only kind of cooperative relationship.

But now Tamase wants to help Li Xiao, but he proposes to join a share.

He smiled.

"Thank you princess for your kindness, if the princess really wants to enter, it's not impossible. Otherwise, if you give out 300 cows, I will give 700, and we will open 37. ”

"Don't the members have any shares?"

"After they join the company, they are qualified to raise cattle, and the advantage is that they can use cattle for free, and the cost of raising cattle and operating profits have nothing to do with them." This kind of model is actually simpler and less troublesome in comparison.

After all, the original intention of the cooperative was that Li Xiao made money and the farmers used cattle.

"If you don't have enough money, I can give you more, I still have some money here." The princess said that after Tamase became a monk, the emperor's brother still owed her a little bit of money and rewarded her with a lot of money. Now that the princess is a monk, she doesn't pay much attention to these.

She joined the company not to make money, but because she was afraid that Li Xiao would help him manage the closed account, and she would lose money if she paid to buy cattle for the closed account.

"That's enough." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The matter of association is not something that can be imagined with a pat on the head.

Of course, there is a good unified handling of this matter, but in fact, Li Xiao's association also has some other considerations, but now these are just some ideas.

In any case, the society is to unite and gather people, and no matter what era, people-oriented.

Forming a society, gathering a group of people, and being a leader, if the business is good, can be of great help.

Now in the name of cattle raising, a cooperative is gathered, and it is just a cooperative cattle raising.

But when people get together, they can do a lot more in the future.

For example, if this group of people gathers up to 800 households, then it has already surpassed the grassroots Libao organization in Datang, as the leader of a society, if Li Xiao can have enough prestige in the society, he is actually a township chief who does not match his name, but is actually a township.

Think about it, in an ancient agrarian society like the Tang Dynasty, where the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the countryside basically relied on autonomy, and autonomy basically depended on those clans and heroes. Many big clans rely on the size of their own families to grasp the local discourse.

And the Li family is scarce, which is far inferior in this regard.

But if Li Xiao's cooperative can convince the people of 800 Lanxi households, then his influence can even far exceed that of the big patriarchs in those townships.

But these don't need to be mentioned for the time being, without a certain amount of prestige, the president is useless.

You have to let the people see enough benefits, so that everyone will be convinced of you, the president, follow you, the president, and defend you.

In troubled times, you can form an association to protect yourself.

In times of famine, relief can be provided.

When it comes to agricultural production, they can also cooperate and help each other.

Even in the future, Li Xiao can develop his cooperative into a credit cooperative, so that everyone can save money and loans, mortgage and lease.

Today, the cooperative only raises cattle, but in time, the cooperative can even raise a dragon!
