Chapter 102: Wang Shuhui's Journey to the Countryside 6

86_86695 From the bottom of his heart, Wang Shuhui admires Deng Daguang and Wenming's ideas.

If Wang Shuhui was asked to do the same thing, he would definitely adopt the attitude of God blocking and killing God and Buddha and killing Buddha like other base village working groups. This is not to say that Wang Shuhui is a brutal person by nature, but that he, like the cadres of those working groups, has never had the experience of doing this kind of work. The first reaction in the face of contradictions is to subconsciously want to take this simplest means.

However, Wang Shuhui also knew that such a crude and mechanical method would inevitably be too incompetent for a traveler like him, and for an organization of the Revival Society that he, a traveler armed with scientific and advanced ideas, would be too incompetent.

The process of industrialization must be a very painful and powerless process for people in an agrarian society. However, this painful and powerless process was followed by a great change and progress in the productive forces and production relations of the whole society. Industrialization is certainly not just a painful process, after this pain, there is a happy, comfortable and convenient modern life.

Wang Shuhui didn't say anything to Deng Daguang and Wenming, and after telling them to prepare their reports for the evening, he returned to his bedroom and began to think about how to solve the problem if he encountered Deng Daguang and Wenming.

Obviously, the work of fighting for people's hearts and minds was two completely different situations in the late Ming Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty. Because the fierce process of land contradictions is completely different. The state of land annexation in the last years of the Qing Dynasty was much stricter than that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese population was 450 million, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese population was 150 million. However, in terms of per capita land occupancy, the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was much better than that at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

If we follow Wang Shuhui's plan and wait for the peasant uprising and the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, it would be good if there were 60 or 70 million of the 150 million people left at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This is why in the early Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners nobles enclosed land everywhere and did not have any impact.

Therefore, if Wang Shuhui allowed the peasant uprising and the Manchu Qing to enter the customs, it would have been left alone. The area north of the Yangtze River, which he plans to occupy, could be densely populated to an unimaginably low level. This agrarian revolution has become a necessary but not important policy. At least in terms of winning people's hearts, it certainly can't be compared with the effect of my rabbit at that time.

However, Wang Shuhui felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and the significance of his agrarian revolution was mainly to gain the support of the people and provide sufficient soldiers for the revival army. He didn't want to build a feudal society with small countries and widows. The situation of less people and more land is more conducive to using land as capital, establishing various agricultural production bases, and carrying out national operation plans.

When Wang Shuhui thought of this, he felt that the current matter was just a small matter. However, small things must also be solved, and one's own ideas must be consistent with the actual situation investigated and researched before they can be implemented. Therefore, he began to ponder how to solve this contradiction between the grassroots revival association and the feudal family.

Recently, Wang Shuhui picked up a bad habit in modern society, and that is smoking. At the beginning, because he was busy with work and had many things, Wang Shuhui didn't think much about it. Not long ago, he accidentally discovered that many cadres under his command, after being scolded by him, hid in the corner of the courtyard of the headquarters and used a pipe to swallow clouds and smoke. Only then did he remember that tobacco was already very popular in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shuhui specially asked the people of the Committee of Agriculture to find out that some tobacco leaves were planted in the farms directly under the Fuxing Association under the Committee of Agriculture. After Wang Shuhui learned about the popularity of tobacco, he immediately thought about the super lucrative thing of the tobacco industry. After customizing a set of simple, steam-powered old-fashioned cigarette equipment from modern times, he immediately ordered the Jiangbei Machinery Factory to copy 100 identical equipment, and then ordered the International Trade Office to purchase tobacco and ordered the headquarters of the Production and Construction Corps to train workers.

In less than a month, a medium-sized, relatively advanced cigarette factory was established in Zhijiang County. In order to be able to produce cigarettes with a taste close to the modern level, Wang Shuhui also specially introduced a set of equipment from the factory for the production of cigarette paper from Hyundai. After the establishment of the paper mill, Wang Shuhui remembered the printing mill again. In this way, a cigarette factory, a paper factory, a printing factory, was established.

The three factories were established, except for the cigarette factory, where the main workers were soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps under the Renaissance Association. The other small handymen, as well as all the workers in the paper mill and printing plant, were recruited locally in Zhijiang County. The three factories provide a total of 2,000 jobs for Zhijiang County. Because they are all relatively easy jobs, there is a wave of female workers in the Zhijiang area. Many elderly peasant women and young peasant girls were attracted by the high salary of one silver coin (one tael) per month offered by the Revival Society to work in the factories.

The establishment of three factories provided the Revival Trade Office with three new products, cigarettes, paper and books. After the realization of industrial production, the cost of the three products was pushed down to an incredible level. In particular, cigarettes are a new product, because tobacco has been processed at a modern level, and the taste is much better than ordinary local tobacco. The new form of cigarettes greatly caters to the needs of smokers.

So much so that after just one month, cigarettes became the fourth pillar product of the Revival Society, in addition to salt, cotton cloth and white iron farming tools. In the third month, the income of the Renaissance Society from cigarettes exceeded the income from white iron farm tools, and the income from cotton cloth was the same. At the same time, a real chemical factory used to produce matches also started trial production under the auspices of the Jiangbei Arsenal.

Wang Shuhui originally knew that as long as the foundation of industrialization and the iron and steel industry were established, there would be a relatively complete mechanical processing industry, so there would be as many machines that could make money. As for the money made by tobacco factories, as long as you are a modern person, you know. Wang Shuhui did not make as much fuss as the staff of the International Trade Office.

With the big sales of cigarettes, Wang Shuhui soon took the cigarette machinery produced by the machinery processing factory as a shareholding, and jointly established five joint-stock tobacco factories with more than a dozen businessmen in Zhijiang County. Nor is he at all concerned about the proliferation of technology. Judging from the current level of mechanical processing in the Ming Dynasty, equipment like steam-powered cigarette machines is not distressing at all to sell to others. Because whether it is a cigarette machine or a steam engine, only Wang Shuhui's Jiangbei Industrial Base can produce it. The main purpose of setting up joint ventures with those businessmen is to let them help train more workers.

Therefore, in terms of building factories and making money, Wang Shuhui, as a modern person, has many ways. However, how to deal with the indigenous forces of the Ming Dynasty and how to better compete with the feudal family for the hearts of the people is a relatively big problem for Wang Shuhui.

Don't look at Wang Shuhui's tall and strong, he is still a traveler who likes outdoor sports very much. But, in essence, he is still a study otaku. He had never heard of how to do mass work. How to mobilize the masses and mobilize the masses is not only not understood by the members of the Revival Society, but also by he, the chairman and mentor of the Revival Association.

Wang Shuhui smoked a cigarette like this and walked around the bedroom. More than two hours later, when Hu Qifan, director of the Department of International Trade, came to invite Wang Shuhui to lunch, he was startled by the smoke in his room, and thought that Wang Shizun's room was on fire.

Hu Qifan was born into a small merchant family in Shanxi. Under normal circumstances, disasters and famines would not affect families like his. However, it was also unfortunate that the family was on their way to escape the disaster, and they encountered a disturbance in a local guard house, and the whole family was killed by the rebellious soldiers except for him and a sister who escaped. In the field, the brother and sister who have no food and clothing are reduced to homelessness.

Hu Qifan was born in a merchant family, has received a certain basic education, and has been working as an apprentice in his family's shop, writing and arithmetic and other things. After being rescued by Wang Shuhui, he soon made a name for himself in the teaching camp, and his academic performance was very good. Chen Feng was assigned by Wang Shuhui, and when he went to Dongtankou to run the cotton cloth business, he recommended himself to Chen Feng and became the deputy leader of that activity. In that operation, Hu Qifan showed his business talents, and soon achieved amazing results in Dongtankou.

Wang Shuhui appointed him as the director of the Department of International Trade according to his appearance. After he became the director of the Department of Commerce, the business income of the entire Revival Society increased dramatically. Under his leadership, the International Trade Office established a number of business outlets in the Huguang and Jiangnan areas. Even steam engines, which were not very easy to sell, began to sell well in areas outside the Huguang area.

However, although Wang Shuhui admires his talent, he thinks that although Hu Qifan has also joined the Revival Society, he is certainly not like those students from the bottom who truly agree with the ideas of the Renaissance Society. Simply because revival will provide him with a platform on which he can demonstrate his abilities. He joined the Revival. Wang Shuhui brought him out this time to figure out guò investigation and research, and to conduct a profound education on him, so that he could truly identify with the ideas of the Revival Society.

In Hu Qifan's heart, it is actually not as complicated as Wang Shuhui thought. He didn't feel that his family's life in the past was any better than that of his homeless classmates who came from military households and tenant households. The coercion of the government, the looting of the officials, the oil rubbing of the local ruffians, and more importantly, the colleagues with official and business backgrounds are persecuted all the time. In the year of the catastrophe, his own business went bankrupt, and there was a tragedy of his own family being ruined.

In his heart, in addition to the same gratitude to Wang Shuhui as other disciples, it is more of an ideal of revenge on the murderers who caused the destruction of his family after he gets ahead.

Seeing that his teacher was frowning and pondering. Hu Qifan did not directly come forward to disturb, but gently opened the window of the room. As soon as the fresh air came in, Wang Shuhui noticed Hu Qifan. He said to Hu Qifan, "Qi Fan." What's the matter? ”

Hu Qifan replied, "Master, the meal is ready." ”

Wang Shuhui let out a "hmm" and continued to think about his own affairs.

Seeing this, Hu Qifan asked, "Shizun, have you encountered anything difficult to solve?" ”

Wang Shuhui also wanted to listen to other people's opinions at this time, so he briefly told Hu Qifan about the situation in Zhaojiatan.

Hu Qifan pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Shuhui, "Master, I think that the Fuxing Society can solve this problem in the supply and marketing cooperatives in various base villages. ”。
