Chapter 182: Desire Drives History

In the following period, when several surrounding counties came over to obtain the so-called "unity plow" qualification, Shi Bufan also tried his best to ask for benefits for those participants in the invention, which is the so-called technology royalty. www.biquge.info At present, the cost of using technology is not low, and each household needs five yuan for money, but it must be paid off within 20 years. As for this money, it could be repaid gradually in twenty years, and Shi Bufan also suggested that they go to Qin's money bank to forgive the mortgage and pay it off in twenty years. Of course, in order to alleviate the pressure on the Qin family, Shi Bufan did not give all the money to those inventors at one time, but continued to stay in the Qin family through deposits, and it would take a few years to delay it before giving it to them. On the one hand, it can reduce the risk of bad debts and bad debts where Qin's money is released too much money at one time, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid these people from spending money indiscriminately. Shi Bufan knew that these farmers had a low level of education and were really not good at financial management. This is not Shi Bufan discriminating against them, the necessary facts must be faced, you can't just label discrimination or anything else, Shi Bufan doesn't plan to give them all at once, so as to avoid them from being a loser. In later generations, too many peasants received some so-called compensation for demolition and relocation, or some wealth that seemed to be a very large amount, but after obtaining the money, they were not good at managing money and would not let the money make money. As a result, there are people who gamble and smoke every day, and even get addicted to drugs. This is actually a lack of their culture.

At present, there is no way to improve their cultural level as soon as possible, and for their embarrassment to reduce the financial pressure on themselves, they cannot give them all at once. It will be a few years, or when they need money for something big, and they will gradually give them in batches according to the plan. Even Shi Bufan plans to manage their finances for them, and will not give them this money directly, this money will be used for their own children's education, so that their own children can get funds for education. In short, try to give them as little as possible, so that they don't use the money for meaningless things.

"Husband, recently, several surrounding counties have also come up with the so-called farming ability, as well as various precautions in production and farming. They also want to take it out to get the so-called technology royalties, although there are more or less of them, and almost every household around us here is burdened with a debt of more than a dozen yuan. And many people who have come up with those so-called technologies have also gained a lot of wealth, which makes everyone envious. However, there are quite a few people who are already planning to give up farming and do this kind of research in this way. Even everyone who has nothing to do is thinking about these methods, will this not be a good job? Qin Jiarui said with some concern.

Shi Bufan shook his head and said, "Do you think they are not doing their jobs? No, they're just the most serious. Wouldn't it be nice for them, as farmers, to study how to farm better? In the past, they mostly conducted passive research, but now they are active research, and even the whole people are researching together, and this kind of research is very fast. Perhaps within a few years, all kinds of agricultural methods and methods have been created. Perhaps under the national research, the optimization of the whole process from seed selection to cultivation and even harvesting has made great progress. It may not be impossible for grain production to increase several times in a few years. This is also the progress of the productive forces, and once the production experience and means of all kinds of excellence of the whole people are promoted, the progress of the productive forces is definitely not a little bit. ”

"Moreover, this is the most down-to-earth, it is researched by themselves, and there will be nothing out of step with the times."

Shi Bufan actually thought that this method of letting the people study by themselves was still good, and many travelers went to the early Tang Dynasty to invent and do this and that, and even didn't care about whether it was in line with the ancient productive forces and various conditions. Let's not talk about whether you can get it or not, even if you get it, it's often not very useful in the end. Because the more advanced something is, the more knowledge it needs to be mastered. Otherwise, just by relying on those people in the early Tang Dynasty, whose illiteracy rate reached more than 95 percent, how many people were able to use those "high technologies"? Therefore, it is better to mobilize the people to study on their own, so that what they invent is something that their knowledge level can accept.

Don't look at it as just a small method proposed by everyone, but if the whole country, even if only a quarter of the people come up with a small method, then it is not completely impossible to increase the grain output or production speed several times in the end. In the past, there was a lack of communication in the smallholder economic model, so scientific and technological progress was slow. In addition, there is not enough benefit protection, so they all cherish themselves and are unwilling to take it out and share it. Now the time is not to break up their independent production with the corporatized management of the production cooperatives. Then use this kind of corporatized management method to make the people in a cooperative like grasshoppers on a rope, one prosperous and one loss, so they will naturally not be stingy in this kind of situation of both prosperity and loss. Even Shi Bufan can protect their interests, so that they get the so-called technology usage fees, and obtain wealth that they can't save in their lifetime, can they not be blushing?

Therefore, once everyone comes up with the technology of pressing the bottom of the box like their own, the productivity of the early Tang Dynasty will improve several times, which is not a completely impossible dream. After an old sketch said that if everyone in the country comes up with a golden idea, then it will not be a problem for the country to surpass the world in the end.

But Qin Jiarui hesitated and said, "But these people, they are just to get wealth. They are jealous of those who get the so-called technology royalties, and even have all kinds of practices, so in the end, they are just for money. So for the sake of money, if there is no one to farm, then how can you get it? ”

Shi Bufan shook his head and said, "Actually, for the sake of money, there is nothing bad." If you don't have money, who wants to invent! I don't object to inventing for money. Instead of advocating that all people have pure hearts and few desires, I think it is better to promote desires. Because, to promote the progress of history, it is desire. Humans want to be fed, so they naturally have to find ways to increase production. After you have eaten enough, you want to go to school, and only after you go to school and have culture can you say all kinds of literature and art. And the most basic thing is to be full, otherwise don't talk about literature and art. ”

"So especially on the material side, if you give them more and they have to think otherwise. Guan Zhong also said that he knew honor and disgrace when he had enough food and clothing, and he knew etiquette when he was full of food. So they are for wealth, and I don't think there's anything bad about it. As for whether they will all go to study and then no one will farm? I don't think that's the case, because don't look at the stupidity of the people. But they have an account in their hearts, and when they study for a while, they find that they have nothing to gain, and they have to eat their own grain, they will definitely go to farm first. Because the benefits of farming can be guaranteed, research this cannot be guaranteed. So no one will have a way to survive on their own, but instead go to research. On the contrary, this is the pragmatic side of the peasants, although they may have other ideas, but they are very pragmatic and will ensure their own survival in the first place. ”

Shi Bufan didn't think that these farmers would give up agricultural production for research, don't look at it as just a scientific and technological research, but those previous methods were accumulated over several generations, not made by one generation. As for some people, some people think that this kind of scientific research is not "professional" enough, but Shi Bufan just thinks that this is the most professional. In ancient times, if there was not enough productive force and foundation, the people could only study and improve from their own production tools. Which country in the world did not start scientific research with the improvement of production tools at the earliest? Otherwise, if you go to ancient times, what the universe says, what nuclear physics, then this is simply impossible. However, when they are eliminated step by step, some people will be eliminated from these people who participate in research, and those who are good at research will gradually stand out and obtain great wealth. And those who are not good at it can only continue to farm.

Although this process may be cruel, it is impossible for Shi Bufan to guarantee that everyone will become rich, he can just build a platform for them to develop relatively fairly. The reason why a rich man is a rich man is because of the gap. Maybe a man with ten dollars is a rich man in front of a penniless man. If everyone is rich, then in fact, no one is rich in the end.

"However, they are for money, not for anything to contribute to agriculture for Datang!" Qin Jiarui was still not very happy and said.

Shi Bufan laughed and said: "Jia Rui, you, a businessman who should have been full of copper stench, would actually say that you should contribute to the country and agriculture?" Don't talk about these things that look high-end and high-grade, you are now worry-free about food and clothing, and even very rich, naturally a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry. But how many people like you are there in the world? There are very few people like me, who work hard for wealth, and not only should they not be blamed, but they should be encouraged. As an elite of a country, the most terrible thing is to bring ordinary people into their own thinking, thinking that they can do it, and the people should be able to do it. Measure ordinary people with their own thinking, which is bound to be the opposite of each other! ”

"If you want them to take the initiative to contribute to the country and agriculture, then they also need to have enough wealth. And this is the desire of the red fruit, but it is still necessary to say that it is the productive forces that promote the progress of history, and it is the desire of human beings that promotes the progress of the productive forces. Therefore, it can be concluded from this that it is actually desire that drives the progress of history. ”

It is true that it is the productive forces that promote historical progress, but it is the desire that drives the productive forces. Ordinary people want to earn more money, so they naturally find ways to farm and then try to get more crops. In the era of industrialization, workers wanted to earn more income, and businessmen wanted to get more output and more profits, so they would choose to improve the tools of production, that is, invent all kinds of advanced equipment to obtain higher productivity. So whether it is a businessman who transforms equipment or a farmer who improves production, it is actually the same thing, hoping to live a better life and get more materials.

This was called desire in the ancients, and it was looked down upon by people. However, on the contrary, he encouraged the people to have desires, so that they could have the motivation to promote the progress of the productive forces and the impetus to promote the progress of history. Relying on a pure heart and few desires, no desires and no desires, so that in the end everyone dies together, which is not helpful for the progress of productivity.

But what if they have too much desire? Want power, for example? If everyone wants power, isn't this a mess? Qin Jiarui asked.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, there will be such a day." But this day, I don't know if I'll be able to wait! As for whether this desire is excessive, it may be excessive for you. But in more than a thousand years, who will know what people will think more than 1,000 years from now? Future generations cannot judge us by their ideas, but neither can we measure future generations by our ideas. Maybe we look at each other very absurdly, but we ignore the era in which we live, in fact, this is the most suitable for their era. Confucius has always pursued the Zhou rites, but until now the Zhou rites he pursued have not been truly restored. However, some of his ideas can be handed down, because those things that have been handed down are more in line with the needs and even modified. And those that do not meet our needs will be eliminated by history. ”

Shi Bufan naturally did not force the ancients to follow their own way of life, but only promoted the progress of history by gradually guiding them to promote the progress of productive forces. Otherwise, just relying on the so-called invention, it will inevitably end up with rootless water. That's all he can do, and what he wants to do is to promote rapid progress in productivity, perhaps in a dozen years to achieve progress that cannot be achieved in a thousand years. Don't think it's difficult, but as long as the enthusiasm of these working people is fully mobilized, any miracle can happen. As long as the people of the whole country have one heart, then any miracle can be created, and this Shi Bufan has no doubt at all.

Shi Bufan came up with this technology royalty, which is actually a patent for a variant, and after having huge benefits, the people will also enthusiastically study this agricultural production. Once all kinds of technologies are gradually developed, these are suitable for this era, the most suitable inventions for this era, and there is no obstacle to popularization, so that progress is rapid. It is possible for the whole people to take the initiative to study and a few people to passively study, so it is possible that the speed of progress and the speed of historical progress will be thousands of times faster. Shi Bufan himself will not do scientific research, what he wants to do is to drive the whole people to conduct scientific research together, which is the foundation of long-term development.
