Chapter 178: Yang Shouye's New Life 4

86_86695 "Education is not just about formal education in schools. In-service education will be the focus of our Revival Society's education for a long time. ”

"Every soldier, factory worker, farm worker, farm worker, and even the aunt who cleans in the canteen must be a knowledgeable and literate worker. This point must not be shaken. ”

——1623, Wang Shuhui, "Culture and Education Must Be Spread to Every Corner of the Revival Society"

For a freelance worker like Yang Shouye, there are two paths he can take in Songzi County. One way is to work in a company with the Renaissance Society. Of course, companies that enter the Renaissance Association must sign a long-term labor contract, which is generally for a period of 10 years.

The other way, which seems to be better, is to maintain a free status without having to sign any labor contracts. That is to go to work in the enterprise of Songzi Business Alliance.

For Yang Shouye, the advantage of working in a Fuxing Society's enterprise is that he has a high salary and good treatment as a worker of the Fuxing Association. The downside is that there are so many rules in the revival that people have little personal freedom. From eating to sleeping, you must follow the rules of the Renaissance. In particular, in a company where you need to learn not only professional skills, but also culture.

The advantage of entering the enterprise work of Songzi Business Alliance is that there is basically no need to do any learning, and there are no such complicated and cumbersome rules. The disadvantage is that the salary is low, the treatment is poor, and there is no guarantee of personal safety and income.

After Mao Ermao clearly introduced the employment environment in Songzi County to Yang Shouye, he recommended him to work in the enterprise of the Fuxing Association. However, there are also some young people who don't like to be shackled, and when they first arrive in Songzi, they will choose to work in the company of Songzi Business Alliance. So, he gave Yang Shouye two days to think about it.

Workmanship also needs to learn culture, for this, Yang Shouye really can't understand. He felt that reading was not something that a rough man like him was qualified to do. However, when he saw Yang Shouye registering and signing at the front desk of the hotel, he knew that this was probably not nonsense, but a real thing.

After all, Mao Ermao, who is already in his forties, must have been illiterate before. He must have learned to write after entering the Revival factory.

After the imperial examination system was established in China, there was a close connection between reading and writing and changing social status and becoming an official. Because of the establishment of this concept, reading and literacy has become a very high-end and high-grade thing. Basically, all Chinese feel that reading and learning culture is a very noble thing.

Therefore, even a military attache like Yang Shouye does not reject reading at all. However, for the rules and systems of the Fuxing Society, Yang Shouye is more afraid. Because Mao Ermao described to him very vividly the rules of the Revival Association. That's really "the upper tube of the world and the ground, and the middle tube of the air." As long as it is something that a living person has to do, there are corresponding rules in the revival meeting.

Even if it is the dead, the Revival will also take care of it. The specific management methods are: concentration, deep burial and tree burial.

There is nothing uncomfortable with living a highly organized life for modern people. After all, every Chinese has to go through a minimum of nine years of compulsory education. In these nine years, they have already begun to receive the exercise of collective life and organized life.

However, for the ancient people who lived in an agrarian society, living in a highly industrialized and organized collective like the Fuxing Society was still quite challenging and stressful.

In fact, although the new capitalist enterprises of the Zhijiang Business Alliance, the wages and treatment of workers are completely incomparable with those of the Renaissance Society. However, compared with ordinary people, compared with being a serf for the landlords, working as a worker in those enterprises of the Zhijiang Business League can be regarded as a relatively good life.

Eating someone else's food and eating your own food are two different things. Mao Ermao invited Yang Shouye to a big meal, but Yang Shouye himself couldn't spend so much money. After Mao Ermao left, the first thing Yang Shouye did was to go to the Fuxing Society Songzi Bank to exchange huàn silver.

The Bank of the Fuxing Association in Songzi County now has only two main businesses, one is the currency exchange business and the other is the land exchange business.

Needless to say, currency to huàn business. Generally speaking, the first thing merchants who go to Fuxing to buy goods do after disembarking is to go to Fuxing to exchange huàn currency. Many shrewd businessmen realized that without mentioning the other transactions of the Renaissance Society, it was simply this one currency-to-huàn transaction that would make a lot of money.

The Trade Office of the Revival Society is the department in charge of product sales of the Renaissance Society. From the current point of view, except for the raw material of cotton, which the Revival Association has to purchase from outside countries, whether it is grain or any other commodity, the Revival Society does not need to purchase from outside. For the Renaissance Society, he has always been in a state of overappearance in trade activities.

At present, the products produced by the Fuxing Society through industrial means include cement, cotton cloth, silk, salt, iron tools (including agricultural tools and weapons), labor cloth and clothing (canvas), glassware, cigarettes, canned food, matches, paper, books, etc.

Whether it is a large pot camel machine or a steam ship, or a small piece of matches and paper, the price of all goods is extremely low (for this time and space) because of the use of industrial means for production. From the perspective of a cotton cloth business alone, the cotton cloth of the Fuxing Association and the Zhijiang Business Alliance has been expanding continuously for five consecutive years, and Yan zhòng has influenced the Songjiang cotton cloth market in the Jiangnan area.

At present, a large number of merchants, whether it is a merchant in the north or a merchant in the south, are buying goods at the factories of the Fuxing Society. However, even so, because the Chinese market is too large, Fuxinghui's products can only account for about one-twentieth of the total market share at most. All of the products of the Revival Society are in short supply.

Whether it is a merchant in the north or a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a problem that must be faced when the Fuxing Society makes purchases. They had no way to use the silver in their hands to purchase Revival products directly. They had to take the silver in their hands to the bank of the Revival Society and exchange it for the silver dollars and steel hammers of the Renaissance Society. With these silver dollars and steel hammers, they were able to purchase goods and pay the merchant tax (a tax set by the Renaissance).

Because of the purity of silver, under normal circumstances, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for eight silver dollars at the Revival Bank. In other words, although they were able to buy goods for one tael of silver for one silver dollar in the Revival factory, they also had to bear the additional cost of "up to" about 20 percent.

Of course, even so, the products of the Revival Society are still of better quality and the price is about 30 percent lower than those of the small craftsmen and junior workshops.

By simply using guò coinage and currency exchange, the Revival Society amassed a large amount of silver.

At the same time, the Fuxing Society also opened up the industrial credit policy to all landowners in Huguang. As long as they exchange their land with the Renaissance Society, then they can receive different amounts of financial support and technical assistance from the Renaissance Society's banks according to the amount of land. After that, the Renaissance Association will also send corresponding technicians and production and construction corps to help the landlord carry out construction and guide their production.

However, the current policy is to bloom inside the wall and incense outside the wall. In the Fuxing District, where the Fuxing Society was under control, most of the landlords were suppressed and tried for resisting land reform. Only a few small and medium-sized landlords who were not strong saw clearly in the land reform and survived. They joined the group under the co-optation of the Zhijiang Business Alliance. Exchanged their own land for capital and technology, from landlords to industrial capitalists.

However, the Jingzhou Prefecture area, which is closest to the Fuxing District, and even some landlords with a strong sense of commercialization in the Wuchang Prefecture area, took the initiative to contact the Fuxing Association for various reasons. They used their land in Jingzhou and Wuchang to exchange funds and technology from the Fuxing Society, and established a number of medium-sized textile factories and printing factories in Jingzhou and Wuchang, respectively.

There was even a shipyard owner in Wuchang Mansion who used cash and half of the shipyard's shares to apply for technical support from the Fuxing Association, hoping to establish a joint venture shipyard. At present, the Yangtze River brand steam paddle steamer produced by the joint venture Wuchang Shipyard has opened up the market in the Jiangnan region.

The interior of the Songzi Bank and the Edae Bank of the Renaissance Society are the same. The entire bank is divided into three sections. One part is a window dedicated to the business of small and medium-sized currencies. One part is the reception room for large currency exchange transactions. One part is the reception room in charge of land exchange business.

This is because the Fuxing Society took advantage of the disaster year in the Songzi area to eliminate all the landlords and carry out a comprehensive agricultural transformation of the entire Songzi Prefecture. Therefore, the banks of the Fuxing Society in the Songzi area do not have rural credit business.

However, Zhijiang County, where the Revival Society was founded, only a few farms and breeding farms were established after the Rival Society carried out land reform, and no comprehensive farm construction was carried out. Therefore, there are still a large number of yeoman farmers in the area. In addition to currency exchange and land exchange business, the Fuxing Association Bank in Zhijiang County also has a low-interest loan business for homesteaders.

After Yang Shouye entered the bank, he discovered the disadvantages of illiteracy. The use of barbed wire walls in the Fuxing area is really very much. The Songzi Bank was also divided into three sections with a barbed wire wall. Although each window was marked with words, Yang Shouye did not know which window he should go to to exchange money.

Fortunately, a soldier of the Fuxing Army, who was in charge of bank security, found out about Yang Shouye's situation. He took the initiative to step forward and explained the business of each window to Yang Shouye in detail
