Shi Bufan asked the heads of each of these families to put their fingerprints on the agreement to form a cooperative, representing that they agreed to form a cooperative and handed over the right to use the land to them, so that everyone could divide it according to the agreed articles of association in the cooperative. This charter was formulated by Shi Bufan using the knowledge of business administration that he had studied, first to remove the rent from the imperial budget, and to calculate the budget of those who were not farming personnel for the rest, and to receive basic rations in the first year, and after the second year, they could gradually receive the corresponding bonuses of the first two years in the next year. This kind of issuance process is relatively slow, but it is also relatively stable insurance.

Of course, these people from peasant backgrounds also agreed. Although the process of handing out rations for incentives and additional performance is relatively long, they have adapted to the slower pace of life for these farmers who farm once a year. If it's fast-paced in the city, of course it's unacceptable. But naturally, these farmers have accepted this slow pace of life, and they have all agreed to pay bonuses every other year.

As for the war horses of these cooperatives, there is also the corresponding start-up capital, which is what Shi Bufan asked Qin Jiarui to take. Of course, this kind of white work is not done when it is extraordinary, and after calculating this investment, there is a return of about 15 percent, although it is much lower than many luxury goods such as tea, but it is better than stability, and it can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and it has a good reputation for increasing the harvest for the people. What's more, 15% of the income is also a high profit for most industries. You must know that in later generations, the average net profit margin of many industries is less than 7%!

"Building water conservancy, it seems that this one is going to find someone surnamed Yan, I really can't do this!" Shi Bufan is helpless.

Shi Bufan organized this cooperative, and there was an important issue, that is, the construction of water conservancy. At present, the Tang Dynasty has just stabilized, the days of peace in the world are still short, and the destruction of water conservancy facilities in the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty has obviously not been repaired in time. If the problem of the people relying on God for food is not solved, it will certainly be easy to have problems in the future. Once there is a major drought or flood, the consequence is that either the people will starve to death, or give up the land to barely survive, which will directly lead to land annexation. Once the catastrophe is barely enough and there are not enough water conservancy facilities, the people will have to sell their land, so that the basis for the existence of this cooperative will naturally collapse. Therefore, ensuring the cooperative's ability to resist risks is the key to maintaining its survival. To improve the ability to resist risks, we must first build water conservancy.

Shi Bufan came to the Tang Dynasty to be a prisoner, and took the initiative to ask: "Go and tell you that you will be a young craftsman Yan Lide, saying that I am Dingxiang County Male Shi Bufan asks to see!" ”

If Shi Bufan asks to see him as a county official, his status is obviously too low, and Yan Lide may not necessarily see him. But Shi Bufan asked to see him as a man in Dingxiang County, so Yan Lide didn't dare not see him, so in what capacity he saw people, it was very important, even if he was representing himself, he had to consider what identity he was going to see people. Different identities, statuses and treatments are different!

"Shi Xiannan, I don't have any friendship with you, how can I have time to come to me?" Yan Lide asked coldly.

Although Yan Lide was also a person in Li Shimin's Qin Wangfu at that time, he did not have a deep friendship with Shi Bufan. It's like in the same party, everyone is not necessarily very familiar, and even "there are factions within the party", so it is not surprising that Shi Bufan and Yan Lide are not familiar.

"Brother Yan, this time I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I have something to ask for!" Shi Bufan said.

Yan Lide tasted the roasted tea produced by Qin's Tea House and said, "Oh? Whatever I can, I'll try to help you. ”

This "as much as possible" is obviously a standard that cannot be quantified, and when the time comes, it will actually depend on whether Yan Lide is really willing. Anyway, there is no friendship between them, and if it is not in the interests of Yan Lide, it is very easy to perfunctory.

"If you want to say who is the best at civil engineering in my Datang, then who else is better at it besides you Brother Lide? No, I heard that Ling Zun and Ling Di Liben are both famous for their civil engineering and painting skills, but they are really a must! This time, if nothing else, I just hope that Brother Lide will design a plan for me to build a water conservancy project in Wannian County. I hope to get a set of water conservancy projects for Wannian County, so that during the drought, water can be taken from the Wei River for irrigation, and when the flood occurs, the water can be discharged into the Wei River by some means, so as to ensure that the harvest can be guaranteed as much as possible, whether it is a flood or a waterlogging. Shi Bufan said.

When Yan Lide heard this, he actually got up from this position, with a curious face. And Shi Bufan couldn't figure out Yan Lide's attitude, you must know that if you want to build a water conservancy project, it is really difficult to leave this surnamed Yan. Yan Lide and his younger brother Yan Liben were famous painters during the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Liben was later the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Lide, Yan Liben and their father, were famous engineers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Yan family was a well-known engineer who built many projects for the Sui and Tang emperors, such as palaces and mausoleums. Of course, there was also a person named Yuwen Kai during the Sui Dynasty, who was also an engineering expert, but he has been dead for many years.

So at present, the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben can be invited, other engineering design experts, Shi Bufan really doesn't know who they are.

Yan Lide took a long time before he said, "Starting from my father, we have all cultivated a lot of things. There are palaces, mausoleums, and even my father once participated in the construction of one section of the Grand Canal. But for so many years, you are the first to want to build a water conservancy project with our Yan family, specifically for the people to irrigate! Even if there are some people who want our Yan family to build those projects, they are often all kinds of palaces, and there are some pavilions and attics, and you are the first to ask us to get a water conservancy for irrigation for the people. Because of this kind of water conservancy, there is no credit for doing a good job, and it is far better to do those pavilions and attics, which can add color and appear to be successful. ”

"I didn't expect that in ancient times, there was also the practice of 'political performance projects', it seems that although the times are different, but these broken things are in the same vein, and a lot of flashy projects have been built on a large scale." Shi Bufan complained about these bureaucrats again in his heart.

However, Yan Lide said after a while: "Actually, if you want to talk about the water conservancy of this county, this is actually difficult for our Yan family. Our Yan family can even build the Grand Canal, let alone the water conservancy of a small county? However, do you know which place is the most difficult part of the construction project? Even if I give you a drawing and a design plan, will you be able to make it real? If you don't have what it takes to make it real, then don't come to us! ”

"You know what? Back then, my father participated in the construction of the Grand Canal, and Emperor Yang of Sui requisitioned millions of people on the Grand Canal, and many people died! Do you know how badly my father was scolded back then? My father was in charge of building the Grand Canal, and my father was cursed almost every day. But can we be blamed for this? ”

Shi Bufan was also silent, because this Yan family was actually just the designer, and as a result, he was blamed for killing so many people. It seems that the Yan family designed the Grand Canal, but in the end it became the object of the black pot. However, the construction of the Grand Canal was ordered by Emperor Yang of Sui, not the Yan family. Those people didn't dare to scold the emperor, but they scolded the Yan family, which was miserable! But the Yan family inexplicably carried the black cauldron, just like the construction party cut corners and had a problem with the project, and in the end, it was the designer who carried the black cauldron, which obviously made the Yan family very sad.

However, Shi Bufan knows that this specific reason is that there is a problem with the organization of construction projects in ancient times, and the further core connotation is that there are problems with the taxation system and various social production systems in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Of course, this ancient man did not have more accumulation, there were no references, which, combined with the small-scale peasant economic model of natural productivity, caused a cascade of changes. This is the question of the economic foundation. If the economic base changes, then the natural superstructure will change with it.

Under the current model of productivity, it is indeed difficult to establish an effective construction condition with the thinking and thinking of ancient people. The construction of the government and the construction of the Great Wall from the Qin Dynasty were not just the conscription and the people and even criminals to do coolies? So the same was true in the Sui and Tang dynasties, coupled with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's indiscriminate forced labor, which was unacceptable to the people.

"Brother Lide, in fact, I have my own way. If you look at my plan, I can minimize the loss of manpower and reduce the waste of food and materials through this kind of cooperative program, what do you think? Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan gave this Yan Lide his plan to see, especially the practice of having someone responsible for serving on everyone's behalf. The past conscription has been changed from days to the results of labor. And there is a special group of people who are responsible for the service, so that they will not be allowed to go out for a few days and go back again, so that the time and material costs lost in the middle are also saved a lot. Combined with the horse ploughing of the common people and so on, such a cooperative has farmers and workers, and even "scholars" who are responsible for studying agricultural technology. In this way, human and material resources should be mobilized as much as possible to reduce unnecessary losses of human and material resources.

Yan Lide saw this cooperative plan, his hands immediately trembled, and said: "Great, this method is too good, if the Great Sui had this method back then, it may not be ...... Well, but it didn't seem to work back then. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a large population, and most of the land was in the hands of the big families, so I am afraid it is not easy to concentrate them! That is, when I first established the Tang Dynasty, the population has plummeted, and there is relatively too much land, so there is a chance that they have to do this. ”

Yan Lide still understands it relatively well, and knows that it will not work in the late Sui period. In the late Sui Dynasty, land annexation was severe, and land division was already very serious, so it was difficult to implement this method of centralizing the use of land use rights. In addition, it was difficult to promote all kinds of messy things during the land annexation, so it was naturally impossible to centralize and redivide the land use rights in the first step. Only in one dynasty was just established, there were few people and more land, and the people had to form cooperatives to use the land as much as possible because of the lack of labor.

Otherwise, once the land is annexed, coupled with the reduction of arable land per capita, the people will certainly not be able to accept this plan of concentrated land use. So it was really difficult to implement this during the Sui Dynasty. If cooperatives can't be established, the next full-time service people won't be able to do it.

"This is really the treasure of the country, and in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we can make the most of the manpower to the extreme and reduce the waste of manpower and material resources, which is the most important thing. Good thing, really a good way! Yan Lide also said with rare admiration.

The Yan family is engaged in the engineering industry, so they are naturally very familiar with this, especially in terms of organizing human and material resources. This method can overcome the shortcomings of the past, so that all full-time service people become skilled workers, and a skilled worker can even top ten novices. Even in terms of quality, even if the speed of a skilled worker is ten times that of a novice, the quality is definitely better than that of a novice.

In addition, compared with the past calculation by time, it is the same to do more and less, and everyone grinds much better. Calculation by volume can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and increase efficiency by at least two or even three times. Once they become journeymen, the efficiency is simply immeasurable.

The Yan family is all doing this, and they are very familiar with the doorway here. Therefore, as soon as Yan Lide saw this plan, he knew that it was an absolutely good method, which was much better than the past conscription on a daily basis. Even this method of hiring someone to replace the conscription is even more absolute. In the past, instead of conscription, it was a qualification that only the rich and noble had to have.

However, after such a move and a special organizational method, not only will there be no shortage of people serving the conscription, but it will also not delay the farming, but it will also be able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the civil engineering and construction workers who are serving the conscription, and one person can use two or three people. Once proficient, it is not impossible for one person to use ten or twenty people.

"People are still these people, but one person is the least few people who have passed by. After Shi Xian Nan moved like this, he was stunned to exert the strength of one person to say five or six people. And the food and time saved from it are incalculable! In this way, if I can do this in the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to a population that has increased several times out of thin air! Yan Lide exclaimed excitedly.

If you are not an expert, you don't understand how valuable Shi Bufan's organizational method of this production cooperative is, and Yan Lide is this expert, if you can't see the value of this plan, then the Yan family has not been in vain for so many years?

"Okay, I agreed, I'll let my brother go and help you get this water conservancy. Shedi is still waiting for a position, and I think he still has time to help you get this water conservancy. Yan Lide said. (To be continued.) )
