Chapter 128: Tang Dynasty Version of Production Cooperatives (2)

Shi Bufan deeply knew that this ancient land annexation was the main reason for the change of dynasty, but the model of small peasant economy was in the bones that caused the land annexation and change. There are also many types of land annexation, including benign annexation and malignant annexation. In later generations, the use of land to concentrate and establish industrial zones is a benign annexation that creates jobs and drives economic development, and it cannot kill all land annexation with a stick. Many people think that land annexation is absolutely wrong, and even many online novels are mostly crowded, and it is absolutely wrong to think that land annexation is absolutely wrong.

Under this model in ancient times, land annexation was indeed inappropriate. Because although land annexation in ancient times did not change the production mode of the small-scale peasant economy. The gentry and landlords who annexed the land often subleased the land to the common people again, so as to receive a share of the grain. In fact, this land annexation only changed the ownership of the land, and did not really touch on the change in the production mode of the small-scale peasant economy, and such land annexation not only failed to increase productivity, but reduced the peasants' enthusiasm for production and reduced productivity.

Therefore, Shi Bufan does not think that simply curbing land annexation is the biggest way to solve the problem, but to change the model of this small-scale peasant economy. However, in ancient China, it was often a small-scale peasant economy, because of the lack of arable land per capita, which caused the land to be subdivided again, so that the family-based small-scale peasant economy could develop. And the small-scale peasant economy is the reason for curbing the development of capital, and the small-scale peasant economy is also the most important reason for the change of dynasty. This is because land annexation in the smallholder economy is not a benign annexation, but a vicious annexation.

Large-scale agriculture is the most important thing, so in order to change this small-scale peasant economy, it is necessary to concentrate the land and use it so that the resources can be used effectively. However, this needs an opportunity, that is, the troubled times have just ended, so that the population is relatively small, and there are not too many various landlord interest groups, so that it can be effectively annexed.

"We set up this production cooperative in the hope that everyone will hand over the right to use the land, and then hand it over to the cooperative for unified planning and use. This results in better results, so that everyone can work less effortlessly and can use better farming methods to farm. Save everyone's time and manpower and let everyone do other things. Shi Bufan said.

After hearing this plan, someone immediately fried the pot and asked: "Shi Xiancheng, didn't the imperial court distribute the land to us according to the uniform land system?" Why do you have to take it back? ”

"Yes! Didn't the land be given to us? Why do you have to take it back? "Yes! The land is ours, and we can't take it away! ”……

I heard that the land was going to be taken away, so they were going to fry the pot all of a sudden. The Junda system allowed them to acquire land after the end of the troubled times, and of course they were not willing to be taken away. So, so they fryed the pan right away, and of course they didn't do it. As a farmer, isn't the most important thing to be the land? If you want to take their land, then they can fight with you.

"Quiet, listen to me, I don't want to take away the ownership of your land, I just want you to hand over the right to use it. The ownership of the land is still yours, but the right to use it has been transferred to the collective. Shi Bufan hurriedly said.

It took Shi Bufan a long time to clarify the difference between ownership and use, making it effortless for Shi Bufan. However, as ancient farmers, they naturally had their own way of benefiting.

"Shi Xiancheng, just like some tenants rent the land of the big family, and then they are only responsible for farming, and this land does not belong to them. And we hand over the right to use the land to the cooperative, that is, let the cooperative rent our land, and then requisition the land to us. But this cooperative is also composed of us landowners, and this one is also a bit messy! ”

Hearing these Tang Dynasty peasants finally had a preliminary understanding, this made Shi Bufan breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he would really go crazy. Although they understand that this process is a bit chaotic, that is, the transfer of the right to use the land to this cooperative, this cooperative is still formed by the owners of their own land, which makes them a little confused. It is difficult for Shi Bufan to explain to them the difference between natural and legal persons, so they simply do not explain.

"That's right, that's it, you hand over the land and then cooperate with each other, so you have your own division of labor. Some of them are responsible for farming, and some of them are responsible for serving in their place. And the land of those who serve in your place is cultivated with the help of others. In the end, everyone gave food to the people who served in their place, which was regarded as feeding him and their families. Select a part of the people to serve in place of everyone, so that the service is specially responsible for the service, and there is no need to go back and forth to farm often, so as to avoid delaying time. And those who are others can also cultivate with all their might, avoiding wasting time and delaying farming time in order to serve. ”

"Even, the people who serve can arrange the delivery of food in a unified manner, and every time the food is delivered, one person can transport a lot, unlike bringing their own food on weekdays, and a lot of consumption is consumed on the road for no reason."

When the peasants heard about this cooperative method, they also carefully calculated it in their hearts, because it seemed to be really good. Because Shi Bufan's method was actually to unify several households to form an organization without touching the land equalization system in the Tang Dynasty, and this organization was actually similar to the agricultural reclamation company, with its own division of labor. The ownership of the land is still their own, but it is handed over to everyone to work together to plan and use.

Some of them are in charge of farming, and some are responsible for serving full-time for everyone. This conscription is the most painful for everyone, and the time delayed for service is often many times longer than the normal time. If someone serves full-time, then everyone can't do it for him. According to the current Wannian County, there are about 6,000 households, and if it is calculated according to 6,000 households, the number of days of service of all people in this way adds up to 120,000 days. Even if the time delayed for service is perhaps several times that number.

However, once someone is in charge of special service, it is equivalent to directly saving the number of days on the road, and the resulting time and food savings cannot be underestimated. If there are people who serve full-time, then 365 of 120,000 places, that is, more than 300 people, can also undertake everyone's service tasks.

And the land of these more than 300 families will be cultivated by other families, and it is not impossible for everyone to give him food to feed their families when the time comes. And in this way, there is a group of people who serve full-time, so everyone can deliver materials to those who serve when the time comes, and they can also plan in a targeted manner, and there will be no unplanned, individuals take their personal food to serve, and finally make a mess and cannot arrange the transportation of food as a whole.

can give overall arrangements, so that the food saved is definitely not a few! Saving costs is earning, and everyone understands this.

The superficial calculation in this, even Shi Bufan, a liberal arts student, understands that even the farmers themselves have their own accounts, so they naturally know that this method is actually beneficial to themselves.

However, Shi Bufan was very scornful of this ancient way of serving, especially the way of hard labor. In ancient times, the way of service was to call some peasants to do things, and finally let them go back after some days, at most, ten or twenty days. This is a great delay in time, and the delay time on the road is several times more nominal. And it's been less than a month since they were doing things, and you let them go, so it's equivalent to someone who has just become familiar with the work, and you let him go back? Then another batch of new workers came over, and before they were completely familiar with the work, you let the family go again? Is it interesting to be so foolish?

Anyone knows that a journeyman and a novice are two different things entirely, and it is not surprising that some journeymen are ten times more productive than a novice. The same is true of this ancient civil engineering. Letting a skilled builder do the work may be several times faster than a novice, or even ten times more efficient. You let the family go back in less than a month, so that the people are not proficient and go back, and then exchange for a group of novices, which not only delays efficiency, but also delays people's own agricultural farming.

It's so foolish, it's weird if there is no problem.

"And this one who counts the service according to the number of days, that's even more of a cheat! Isn't calculating service according to the number of days reducing work efficiency and encouraging them to grind foreign workers? According to what I learned in business administration, hourly pay is at most 20 to 30 percent of an employee's work ability. If the motivated employees are generally 80 to 90 percent eventful. This is a difference of two or three times, if you let a skilled worker and pay according to the amount, then this time is less than five or six times, more than ten times the difference in efficiency. ”

"Such a stupid way of management, there are problems everywhere, I really obeyed those ancient magistrates! This kind of management method not only harms the peasants, but also makes it impossible to build all kinds of civil engineering projects quickly. My brain is used in those political games, and I won't do anything practical. If the ancient officials had been able to solve more difficulties for the people and have more ideas for developing production, China would have entered the society five hundred years ahead of schedule. ism is not a problem. ”

Shi Bufan has already begun to plan that in the future, he can change the standard of service from the standard of time to the standard of quantity in Wannian County, so that those who replace the service are motivated, and in order to complete the task as soon as possible, they will inevitably work hard. And with the full-time service, after a few months, he completely became a journeyman, so that the efficiency is even more rubber. Otherwise, if it is measured by time all the time, it will definitely cause the people in the service to grind foreign workers, and in the end, it will delay things.

In this early Tang Dynasty, what was the most expensive? Not the land, but precisely the population. Population represents hope, it represents labor. In this time when the labor force is insufficient, what Shi Bufan needs to do is to tap the potential of the people's labor force, and save and use the labor time that everyone has wasted and wasted for no reason. Even the food that was wasted on them was saved. After these savings, if the productivity of the early years of the Tang Dynasty did not increase by more than half, then Dafan would really have to travel back to the university to restudy.

"There are sweet potatoes to be served, and there are no sweet potatoes to create conditions, and it is inevitable to improve productivity. Wouldn't there be no way to increase productivity without sweet potatoes? There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, even if I don't have sweet potatoes, I have to improve productivity, this test my business management skills! Shi Bufan thought.

However, some farmers expressed doubts.

"But if we help others plough the land, I don't have enough ploughing oxen! If we rely entirely on our manpower to plough the land, it is difficult for us to even cultivate enough arable land ourselves, and most of us do not plough cattle, then how can we plow well? Some people still expressed embarrassment.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were very few cultivated cattle, especially in the troubled times, all the edible ones were eaten, and it was naturally difficult for these cultivated cattle to survive. Even if you survive, it is a very precious thing, and in the early days of the founding of the country, when there was less people and more land, and there was no shortage of land but a lack of population, it was naturally very important to improve the production efficiency of cattle. Originally, they had a lot of land, and it was already difficult to cultivate a hundred acres of land by manpower, but if they had to farm for others again, they would definitely not be able to withstand such heavy manual labor.

However, Shi Bufan has his own way, which may be very difficult for ordinary farmers, but it is very simple for Shi Bufan. The so-called business administration is not to create production methods and production tools, but to integrate the existing factors of production and use them to exert greater effects. Business administration is to combine some factors of production that ordinary people cannot discover and use, and even if they do, they cannot be used, and they cannot be used to the extreme, but they can play a greater effect than the direct addition.

Shi Bufan naturally has a way to improve the efficiency of cultivated land, otherwise could he have bought this MBA with money?

"I'm going to use horse farming, and there are many advantages to using horse farming, especially horse farming, which can increase the speed very quickly, much faster than the average person." Shi Bufan said.

At that time, after Bufan said the statement of horse farming, those people were suddenly colorless, and they began to refute it, obviously hoping to dispel Shi Bufan's idea of adopting horse farming, and even thought that horse farming was a harmful thing, and they were very afraid of horse farming.
