What is a production team?

The production team in Chen Ming's cognition refers to a form of economic organization during the Red Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it is the basic unit of labor organization in the state farm. In the rural areas, it is a cooperative economy under the collective ownership of the working masses.

In a word, it is an economy that uses land, labor, and other means of production as capital, implements independent accounting, and is responsible for its own profits and losses. Of course, all its economic activities must be carried out under the guidance of the state and the permission of the law.

Chen Ming didn't learn that theory, this 'production team' is a kind of egalitarianism in his understanding. The effective combination of productive capital and labor, the mutual equilibrium of strong and weak labor, and absolute egalitarianism.

Under the Red Dynasty, it is not surprising that the model of 'production team' appeared. But this kind of model is absolutely impossible to appear in Chen Han at present, even in the early military villages, this kind of 'average' is impossible to carry out under mandatory circumstances.

Chen Ming would not expect to be able to bless the 'production team' to the current Pingyang Mansion.

But he still came up with the name of 'production team', because the 'production team' in his order should actually be an infinitely smaller military cooperative.

Because Chen Ming firmly believed that although the life of the peasants was hard, the peasants in China were never busy all the time, especially the peasants under the rule of Chen Han.

When the farm is busy, of course, the farmer works hard; But what about when the farm is not working?

In the past, it was forced labor. This is an important point.

In China, as long as the successive dynasties were 'light and thin', it was a great benevolent government, even during the Red Dynasty, China also had forced labor, volunteering, to put it another way. It's just that then it wasn't.

Chen Han did not include forced labor from the beginning. Otherwise, there would not be such a big shortage of labor in various places to attack the city. Because of the weak foundation in the early years, Chen Han began to entrench himself in southwest Henan, and all projects were tempted by money and grain, intending to win people's hearts. So now that Chen Han is sitting in the world, it is a bit difficult to change this rule.

Of course, Chen Han did not clearly announce that the world was completely abolished. This was only selectively ignored by Chen Han's high-level leaders. Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after 'spreading the Ding into the mu', he said to himself: Since the grain is returned to the acre, all the poor Yao and military supplies must be paid according to the process, and it does not matter if there is a levy of forced labor. That's all putting gold on your face.

When is it really tricky, restart the 'conscription' and collect the 'Ding service silver', then there is nothing to be done.

As a traverser, as a person who has escaped from low-level interests, it is also a dream of Chen Ming to benefit the majority of Chinese people. The current Chen Han has not yet reached the time of anything, so he will turn a blind eye to the continuation of the 'conscription'. However, the people's 'farming' time must be fully utilized, whether the people themselves take the initiative to gather strong laborers to find work on the construction site, or the government and township officials' work teams beat gongs and drums in the city and countryside and shout all over the streets: which recruits, how much money a day, how much food and housing, and so on, these are two completely different concepts.

It's just that Chen Ming didn't expect that his 'miniature version of the military cooperative', the production team, would directly evolve into a contractor team when he arrived in Shanxi.

Some local wealthy families even invited a group of people to sign the contract, and they really became foremen. Some of them take over the work in the upper bread section, and then go down to the bottom to supervise the manual work; Some of them regarded the production team as their own hired laborers, digging silage ponds, storing green fodder, building sheep pens, and starting captive trading. Because green fodder is never pure grass, and anyone who wants to think that silage is grass is very wrong. Corn stalks, alfalfa, sweet potatoes, pumpkin vines, amaranth, etc., can all be used for silage. And all of this requires labor!

If you really want to raise sheep in captivity, the labor required for the whole 'project' is really not small.

In the current Pingyang Mansion, all the people who want to raise sheep in captivity are wealthy families with land. Originally, the stems and leaves of the crops they harvested were still a big problem to deal with, and wherever they thought of them, they could also use them as green fodder, just to raise sheep. Rational industrial layout is a skill that people are born with.

Even a small number of people with high ideology and morality can't help but think that if they can convince their own family, then other families are just as 'selfless' as themselves. Shanxi arable land is small, per capita arable land is insufficient, and because of the impact of the previous war, a large number of migrant workers ran back to their hometowns, now the rural labor force is quite abundant, if you can really form the early version of the military cooperative version of the production team, do farm work when the farm is busy, and then go out to work in the slack time, or build a basic silage pond, feed and feed pigs, this kind of thing can be completely done by women, naturally can greatly increase family income. And if you do it by your own family, the efficiency is low.

But how can it be that simple? Working with other people's families requires long-term discussion on income distribution alone, and cooperative labor needs to be run in. None of this happens overnight.

If things develop like this, they will be able to bring some benefits to the people after all. Moreover, with the increase in the number of high-quality iron farm tools and livestock, in addition to the war horses, the greatest benefit of the Inner Mongolia Stock to Chen Han in a short period of time will definitely be improved, and the rural surplus labor force will have more and longer time to create wealth beyond the fields.

Chen Ming's thinking was a little too simple. Moreover, the production team is eligible to apply for interest-free loans and low-interest loans from banks.

……

Chen Ming in Nanjing City didn't know about this 'change', and he had more than one thing to focus on now. And it is approaching the end of the year, and Chen Han is still facing three big problems to be solved: the first is the enthronement ceremony in February of the following year, when the number of envoys from various countries who will rush to Nanjing is not small, and there is also the king of the Ryukyus himself; The second is the national census, this time the statistical work, the Fu Han army did not even give up in central and southern Fujian, and those people in the Heaven and Earth Society also obediently opened the door, even if they knew that after the people of the Fu Han army came to their own territory, they would find out everything clearly, they still couldn't refuse; And then the third is the upcoming announcement of the non-monetary gold and silver free circulation resolution, which will also certainly cause an uproar.

In terms of overall weight, these three things are much more important than the current pilot project in Pingyang, Shanxi. The effect of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province will have to wait for at least a year and a half to see clearly, but the three major events here are about to be done.

The first big problem Chen Ming is facing now is the problem of the country name, and other problems such as clothing, altars, ceremonial guards, year names, knighthoods, etc. have been solved.

That's it!

According to traditional Chinese rules, country names are either from the place of origin, such as Qin or Song; Either originated from the knighthood, such as Han, Wei [Cao Cao], Jin, Sui, Tang; Or follow the semantics, according to the founders and the reverence of the lineage, etc.

Among these rules, Chen Hanyi did not have a knighthood, and second, he did not follow the semantics of prophecy, and he could not use them according to the founders and respectful inheritance, and only the first one came from the source and was reliable.

Chen Han started in Lushan, entrenched in southwest Henan, and several princely names during the Spring and Autumn Period of Zongzhou, Zhou, and the Warring States Period were turned out, such as Liang, Zheng, and Han, among which the word "Han" was first killed by Chen Ming. Then there is a group of people who think that they will use Han, because Chen Mingding's era name is the first year of the Han Dynasty.

The era of the Yellow Emperor is unreliable, and Chen Ming feels that there is no need to be 'ancient'. As a traverser who revived the Han dynasty and revitalized the country, he can't give himself a 'first year'?

The first year of the Han calendar! It starts next year.

Chen Ming originally had some opinions about 'Han' as the country name, first, his surname was Chen and not Liu, and second, he felt that it was a bit narrow-minded. Because the word 'Han' represents the Han family in a large sense, he feels that it is a bit unfavorable to rule Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and those young people.

But he was even more dissatisfied with the two country names of Liang and Zheng, and he didn't want to learn Mengyuan, and Chen Ming, who was tired of it unconsciously, had already decided to continue to regard 'Han' as the country name.

However, on the surface, he was still silent, and it was not appropriate to express his position, so that the people below continued to fight and quarrel.

Then there is this second question, the national census, and the results are satisfactory to Chen Ming. As far as the area under the control of Chen Han is concerned, in terms of the traditional concept of Han land and Guannei, the Fu Han army is now missing most of Yunnan and half of Gansu, and Yunnan and Gansu are obviously not densely populated, according to statistics, there are more than 185,350,000 people under Chen Han's rule. None of the people in the labor camp were added.

If Yunnan and Gansu are all taken away. Chen Han's current population can be as small as 200 million. The populations of Tibet, Mongolia, and Northeast China are too small to be worth mentioning compared to Han China.

This figure made Chen Ming quite satisfied. Although there was a big gap with his estimation when he first crossed over, he thought it was almost 300 million at that time. However, after seizing some information in Beijing, especially the information of the household department, some problems were clarified, and a census conducted in the early days of Qianlong was only more than 140 million. When the Chen family rebelled, that is, in the middle of the Qianlong Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just conducted a population count, and the population at that time exceeded 20,000. Of course, the actual population will definitely be much larger than that.

Therefore, in the years when the Fu Han Army was raised, it fought to the death, and although the destructive power was great, it did not reduce the population much. It's a bit of the same feeling as the population count at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Red Dynasty, and the country has been chaotic for decades, and there has been little change. Chen Ming also had to sigh that the 'Kangqian Prosperous Era' was indeed a period of rapid growth in the Chinese population, and sweet potatoes and potatoes had made great contributions to China. In the future, the growth rate of the population will inevitably increase greatly when the world is stabilized, and this will be great news for China in the future. And at this time, China is definitely not an aging society, few people can live to 60 in these years, people are rare in 70 years, not to say that it is a joke, 60 years old people are less than 90 years old birthday stars in later generations.

When Newton saw this census sheet, his eyes straightened. China has a population of 200 million, which is really a huge number comparable to the whole of Europe.

"Nowhere else but India has such a dense population as China. And the authority of the Mughal kingdom in India is already shaky, and the fragmented and weak Indian subcontinent simply cannot match China in terms of strength. Your Highness, your dynasty is definitely the most powerful empire in the whole world. The pride of the Anglo-Saxons made Newton always put the Kingdom of Great Britain on the same level as China in his heart, after all, the Kingdom of Great Britain had many colonies, but the data in front of him crushed his pride.

Before there was no government in India, could the colony of three million people in the Americas be comparable to the huge China?

-- The plains of North America and Russia are our corn fields, Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest areas, Australia is our pastures, Peru is our silver mines, South Africa and Australia are our gold mines, India and China are our tea plantations, the East Indies are our sugar cane, coffee, and spice plantations, and the southern United States is our cotton plantations.

The sun never sets, and the empire will have to wait for a hundred years.

That's 200 million people. And how much is there in the entire Kingdom of Great Britain? 11 million. How many people are there in the Kingdom of France, the old enemy across the channel? Is 28 million coming? And Prussia, I don't know if there are 9 million, and Austria is close to 20 million, Spain, Portugal, fragmented Italy add up to one more than Russia? The number of Russians from the cold land is just over 3,000. Newton didn't know how much 30 million followed, and Russia was much more obscure than France, Prussia, and Austria, but Newton didn't think there could be 35 million Russians.

With China's huge population, it can really be compared with the whole of Europe.

Newton had not been in China for a day or two, and in those days he had filled more than thirty notebooks with a whole box of his account of China, and another even larger box containing all kinds of materials he had collected that interested him.

Newton was well aware of the power of China and the strength of the Chen and Han dynasties over this vast country. The government is everything, the emperor has the supreme power, and no one can go against the opinion of the emperor.

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The absolute authority of the emperor has left traces on this land for thousands of years. There is no Presbyterian House in Rome, no Parliament in England, and no National Assembly in France. When the king raised the banner of war, the war forces that an ascending Chinese empire could mobilize were endless.

"Comparable to the whole of Europe?" Robert looked at Newton in astonishment, as if he were looking at a madman. "God, Mr. Newton, one of England's finest sinologists, are you mad? I have never denied the importance of population, it has always been important for a country, but population is not everything.

The Mughal dynasty in India also had a large population, but what about them now? ”

By the time of Aurangzeb Khan's death, he had left behind an empire in tatters. The power of the Mughal emperor was brought down by his governors, and the power of the governors was brought down by the Marathas, and the power of the Marathas was brought down by the Afghans, and in such a scuffle, the Europeans broke in.

When God loves a certain people, he always gives them everything he wants. This is the time when heaven and earth are all together!

In the Mughal Empire at that time, the peasants of Punjab used their own Sikhism as an ideological weapon and organizational form, demanding the elimination of caste distinctions and proposing the establishment of a "kingdom of truth" where the land was owned by the peasants. They waged armed peasant struggles that had lasted for decades, one after another, on an ever-larger scale, although they were eventually defeated by the country's rulers. But the decline of Mughal rule was also inevitable.

In 1761, the Afghan nomadic army and the 100,000-strong army of the Marathas met at Banipat, and the Marathas suffered a crushing defeat. The Marathas were a formidable Mughal force against the Western invaders, but after this battle, their strength was severely weakened. This was the end of the Seven Years' War, when the British had defeated the French two years earlier and included India in their sphere of influence. They first launched an anti-British uprising against the rich state of Bengal, even though the British puppet Mir Qasim, who had been erected by the British, could no longer tolerate their control because of their great oppression and brutal means of rule. But in the spring of this year, in 1774, the British army completely occupied the rich state of Bengal.

How many soldiers did the British use?

The people who defeated the indigenous princes and nobles of India were none other than the lower classes of India.

The mighty Kingdom of Great Britain has the largest and richest colonies in the world, and they have a steady stream of huge colonial interests in India and North America.

After a fierce Seven Years' War, the Kingdom of Great Britain stepped on the corpses of its old enemies, the French, and stepped on the top of true Europe. Although France still had a strong war force, and the huge war funds were passed on by London to the North American colonial states, causing dissatisfaction among the local residents. But Robert Coco at this time could not see the war that would break out on the North American continent next year.

Before the independence of the thirteen states of North America, the Kingdom of Great Britain was the most powerful state in all of Europe. Because the Eastern world, or more precisely China, has been isolated from the 'Western world' for a long time, no one will deny that Britain at this time was the most powerful country in the entire Western civilization.

Every Englishman was proud of his country's victory, and now Robert suddenly came to 'believe' that the whole continent could be tied together to compete with China, and he was convinced that there were ghosts.

"Then you just wait for the "Central Plains Daily" in the future. You will find my answer from above. Newton had come to tell Robert what he knew, but he didn't want to say it. (To be continued.) )
