The cold winter soon passed, and the people in the Gyeonggi area of Chang'an had the supplement of the bird down given by the emperor, and the people in the Gyeonggi area of Chang'an did not freeze to death, although various problems still did not exist, but they did not freeze to death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This immediately made the people in the Gyeonggi area also begin to be grateful for the emperor's gifts, because in the past, some counties had to freeze to death in some counties? It's not strange that people freeze to death, but no one wants to be frozen to death. Now the emperor can let you not freeze to death, which is a great kindness! Of course, because of this reminder, Datang has started winter hunting every year in the army, which can not only exercise military skills, but also hunt a large number of birds and feather creatures, and select some down from them to send to the people to keep warm.

Of course, whether the people in other areas froze to death, this is not clear to Shi Bufan, and the people in the Gyeonggi area of Chang'an can do it. Shi Bufan can only do his best, but he can't do it by other means. And after the cold winter passed, the land began to loosen, and according to the custom of previous years, this time was already ready for the prelude to the start of agricultural production.

Shi Bufan is the county leader in charge of agriculture, so he can be regarded as the next to organize agricultural production. However, at present, the peasants of Chang'an have formed cooperatives, which has avoided the dispersion of their forces and caused a lot of consumption. As long as Shi Bufan is in charge of the organization of their cooperative, this can also avoid a lot.

"Jia Rui, how is it that you went to arrange for the unified procurement of farm tools?" Shi Bufan asked.

Qin Jiarui took the initiative to say: "According to the report below, they went to purchase agricultural tools in a unified manner, so as to replace farmers to procure, and they have a great bargaining power." Bulk purchases can be discounted by six, and even according to your suggestion, the method of manufacturing farm tools by the assembly line is adopted, and their manufacturing costs are reduced a lot, plus we unify the purchase of large quantities, so it is natural that you can get a six-fold discount. ”

Of course, Shi Bufan knows the production mode of the assembly line, and as a business administrator, he certainly knows that the mode of the assembly line is absolutely very important for industrial promotion. Although there are still some controversies about the invention of the assembly line, some people believe that there was an assembly line during the Qin Dynasty, and most people think that it was invented by Ford, but no matter who invented it, Shi Bufan has no heart to care. He attaches great importance to the use of assembly lines to produce farm tools, which allows them to quickly start producing farm tools and reduce the cost of farm tools. Reducing the cost of agricultural tools, coupled with the unified procurement by cooperatives, gives us a lot of bargaining power.

"Well, like in the past, farmers and retail investors often did not have much bargaining power when buying farm tools, and they were easily bullied by those shopkeepers. Of course, this is not absolute, if you can buy hundreds of farm tools at a time in a unified cooperative unit, plus I told them the production method of the assembly line, then the price of their farm tools can even be reduced to 60% of the past. Don't look at it as sixty percent, but in fact, those carpenters and blacksmiths who make farm tools have a higher profit ratio, and this is also to maintain their certain benefits, so that everyone can win together. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan knows that the small-scale peasant economy has always been a shackle restricting the development of China's agriculture, and if the production mode of the small-scale peasant economy is not broken, it will still be chaotic in the end. Land annexation is only a façade, and it is the land annexation that is still based on the small-scale peasant economic model that is terrifying. Land annexation in the industrial age is not too terrible, so simply talking about land annexation, simply suppressing land annexation is actually a palliative rather than a cure, and only a change in the mode of production organization is the core. However, it is best to break the era of the small peasant economy, in fact, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the population went through troubled times, and there were relatively few people and more land. Coupled with the equalization system in the early Tang Dynasty, there were not too many large landlord interest groups, so it was easier to integrate the land.

Even grain production is dominated in the north, and the plains of the north are more suitable for horse farming. Therefore, on the whole, the early Tang Dynasty was the most suitable to break the small-scale peasant economy, otherwise once the economic center moved south, the geographical environment in the south was not suitable for large-scale farming, but more dependent on the small-scale peasant economy, so that the most suitable and best opportunity to break the shackles of the small-peasant economy would disappear.

In the later stage of small-scale peasant economic development, it is very harmful, and a family often has to buy agricultural tools and seeds and fertilizers at retail prices, but when they sell them, they have to sell their products at wholesale prices or even lower than the wholesale price. In this way, more than 80 percent of the profits were eaten up by the wholesalers and seed and fertilizer merchants.

Only by integrating these people into a strong collective can we buy pesticides, seeds, and fertilizers at wholesale prices, and then sell food at relatively higher prices. This is also the difference between the bargaining power of a collective and an individual, and only with bargaining power can we safeguard our own interests, otherwise at the end of a year's hard work, 80% of the profits will be eaten. And with bargaining power, at least more than 60% of the profit can be maintained, so it is not impossible to increase the income several times.

"This time you invest money in them, and when the time comes, you can help them sell their surplus food, and I think it will give them more bargaining power to organize. Otherwise, it would be a story of overcharging three or five buckets of rice, which would really be a tragedy. When the time comes, once they feel the benefits of uniting together to buy supplies and sell them, they will also be reluctant to leave. Because of the benefits obtained by uniting, after having the bargaining power, it is completely possible to protect one's own interests, and the direct and indirect income will increase several times, which is not impossible. Shi Bufan said.

Although Qin Jiarui didn't know what the allusion was to overcharge three or five buckets of rice, she knew it very well, because she also opened an inn before. Those who open inns know that the price of one-time bulk purchase and retail is completely different, and businessmen who purchase in large quantities often have a lot of bargaining power, because although the unit price of mass purchase is low, the quantity is large and the profit is high, of course, the bargaining power is naturally great. But it's hard to have a lot of profits in retail, and that's the difference. Under the economic model of these small farmers, the price of pesticide seeds and tools is based on the retail price, but when they are sold, they have to be suppressed, so can they not be exploited? Even without privilege, the competition within these retail investors is enough to make them collapse on their own.

What Shi Bufan has to do is to screw them up, so as to increase the bargaining power through numerical superiority. Once these people taste this method, they will continue to stick to it everywhere, because no one dislikes not having more money, saving costs is net gain, and who does not know this benefit. Shi Bufan is probably clear in rural economics that the countryside may not be able to increase income during the harvest period, but when the solar terms are not good, it will inevitably be lost. When the harvest is good, everyone has a good harvest, and everyone competes with each other to sell, but the unit price is lower, resulting in the consequence of increasing production but not increasing income. Coupled with the fact that those businessmen sow discord, the price is even cheaper.

"Increasing farmers' bargaining power will effectively curb the profits of middlemen and reduce farmers' ability to resist risks. Preventing farmers from going bankrupt and going to a dead end can even increase their awareness of protecting their rights and interests, and let them know that only by uniting can they protect their rights and interests. From the small to the big, this development will make great progress in their awareness of rights protection. Chinese people often have a poor sense of rights protection, which condones and tolerates the behavior of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even more so that their economic income is exploited by those various middlemen. However, this cannot be blamed on those businessmen, who are all about increasing profits and reducing costs, and expect them to be too sympathetic to the peasants, which is unrealistic. Shi Bufan began to record in his notebook.

Although many people on TV scolded those profiteers and scolded those profiteers for exploiting those peasants too much, Shi Bufan saw not the problem of profiteers from a higher level. It is that the peasants have a poor sense of rights protection, and they can't even unite to protect their rights and interests, but they fight among themselves when other businessmen come to procure, and it is normal for other businessmen to seize this opportunity to sow discord and reduce prices. If a person is not willing to save himself, then expect the sympathy of others to save you? If the people themselves are unwilling to protect their rights and interests, and are willing to be exploited by businessmen, then it is simply sorry for them if businessmen do not exploit them. Counting on the sympathy of businessmen, this is impossible. Even if there is one or two sympathies, what about this? It can't change that. I don't want to help myself, so it is completely impossible to count on the charity of others. Therefore, it is not entirely possible to blame those businessmen for being profiteers, if a person wants to die, then no matter how much others save him, it will be in vain.

Shi Bufan's establishment of this cooperative is not only to safeguard the peasants' incomes and avoid being exploited too much, but also to increase production and income. Of course, there is another reason that it can increase their awareness of rights protection, and when they see that together can increase their income, they will also like this practice more. Farmers are not stupid, nor are they stupid, the point is that they do not want to take risks. If you let them see the tangible benefits, they will be more positive than you think. So as long as the benefits are made and there is a model, then they will take the initiative to do it without urging them.

Only when they have a sense of rights protection can they truly make decisions for themselves, and this is the real "democracy". Otherwise, a person who would not even dare to defend his rights would expect him to be able to assume higher political responsibility, which is impossible. What Shi Bufan can do is to let them first know how to fight with those businessmen for the rights and interests they have won, and only after the experience of competing for rights and interests with businessmen can they know how to bargain with the government and fight for rights and interests. This is to be done step by step, and politics is actually a compromise. If the people know how to protect their own rights and interests, then the government will not dare to exploit excessively. Once we dare not exploit excessively, it will help the government to be honest, and if the government is honest, it will be more able to maintain the stability of a political regime.

On the contrary, once the people do not know about protecting their rights, and the government unscrupulously exploits them, it will inevitably cause a huge anger in the end, and the people will revolt. Only by maintaining the balance between the two sides can this be the basis for stability, otherwise once the balance is lost, it will be really dangerous.

"Husband, this is the farm tool I asked people to order, and this is a new plow, you see. This method is based on the experience of those people for many years, and I asked some craftsmen to combine the farming methods that have been passed down by the people themselves for many years, and those craftsmen have come up with this new plow. The new plough is not only less labor-intensive, but also ploughs the ground quickly. After the integrated design, we finally incorporated the good methods proposed by many farmers to form this new plow. Please name this one, husband. Qin Jiarui said.

Shi Bufan looked at this "Quyuan plow", let's call it "Quyuan plow", because this plow seems to be somewhat similar to the Quyuan plow in Shi Bufan's memory, but it is more advanced. Because the Quyuan plough was originally invented in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, according to historical records, it was summarized by the people in their lives. Of course, Shi Bufan didn't know much about the specific structure, just looked at the appearance.

But since it was summed up by the people themselves, at that time, Bufan thought that this could be matured in advance. Under the small-scale peasant economic model of the ancient people, everyone took care of themselves, and when they had a good method, they were almost always secret, and they were unwilling to take it out. This also caused the slow progress of science, and after Shi Bufan formed a cooperative, everyone came up with their own "tricks", and finally integrated them into this "zigzag plow".

Shi Bufan can't do inventions, but he can lead everyone to invent together. The ancient people were not stupid, but the lack of communication, coupled with the factor of personal selfishness, caused this result. Once all the "local methods" owned by these people are integrated, all the integration, popularization and application will be an incomparable boost to the development of the entire productive forces.

It's not that the times are progressing, it's not that a person can make progress if he makes any inventions, and if there is no benign environment, no matter how much a person invents, it will be in vain.

"With this new plough, we can plough the fields with fewer people. There are fewer horses to rent, and all of this is helped by you, the husband, so the people are willing to let the husband name it! Qin Jiarui said.

Shi Bufan said: "That's called unity ploughing, I hope they remember that unity is strength." This is a brainstorming process, and I hope any of us can know that unity is strength, so we named it the unity plow. I don't want to make chilling remarks that one Chinese is a dragon and a group of Chinese is a worm. Now, they can't feel the role of this unity, this new plow, that's a good start.
