"It's very difficult to do, the water in Guangzhou is too deep."

Liu Xingchun came back from Guangzhou and faced Li Shi with a sad face. Now he is also the deacon of the public relations department of Qingtian Company, and his position in the government has also changed from Xunzhuo inspection to Xianggang inspection. The inspection of Xun Xun was hung on Tian Dayou's body, he didn't have to take care of things, after all, Xun Xun is now Li Shi's territory, and it is enough for the relevant line to be there, just let the guards go to take shifts.

The reason why Liu Xingchun was placed in Xianggang in the southeast of Yingde was because it was closer to Guangzhou Mansion and only separated by a Fogang Hall, so it was more convenient for Liu Xingchun to travel to and from Guangzhou City on official business.

Pan Jinling has already gone to Guangzhou, and Widow Wang can't see her as a weak woman going to Guangzhou, and she also volunteered to go to Guangzhou to run a leather shoe store and a green iron business. Thinking that he couldn't let two weak women carry the bridgehead to march into Guangzhou, at least the most basic safety must be guaranteed, so he sent Yu Hanyi and Tao Fu and a dozen or so guards to Guangzhou together in the name of companions.

But going to Guangzhou is not a tourist after all, but to open up the situation, Liu Xingchun went to Guangzhou City with Duan Hongshi's guidance, and wanted to catch the line of the official government, but he was busy for more than ten years, and he still couldn't get the essentials.

"The governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Guangdong, the political envoy, the envoy of Guangzhou, the general of Guangzhou, the prefect of Guangzhou, the customs superintendent, the county of Nanhai, the county of Panyu, and the gods and goddesses of Guangzhou City. The list given by Mr. Duan has changed over time, and I am looking for a relationship that can be used, and I have been transferred to Conghua County. If you only have a foothold in Conghua County, it should be no problem. ”

Liu Xingchun's distress was expected by Li Xian, and his opinion, Li Xian resolutely did not consider it. He doesn't have so much time to go around such a big circle, and the change of the banknote has already aroused the concern of a big man at Li Xu's level, and the turmoil caused by his butterfly is gradually spreading, and he must be ahead of the changing times, rather than being taken away by the times.

Duan Hongshi's path in the court is too far, and it doesn't match his intentions to gain a foothold in Guangzhou. To put it very simply, even if he wants to pay bribes, he has to find out what interests and interests of the bunch of immortals are in charge of Guangzhou City, and then he has to have a relationship to introduce him, and he has to look down on the other party and feel that he is reliable, so that he can give away this silver.

What's worse is that Guangzhou, a small court without an emperor, does not have a clearly formed model in terms of interest relations, once there is a change in personnel, the distribution of interests and the sphere of influence will change, so the practical surname given by Duan Hongshi is not big.

If he has an official body, it would be good to say, he could squeeze into this small court in person through the relationship of the court, and then he could see the invisible net clearly, but now...... By the way, I still have to take the Xiucai exam this year, and if I want to be an official, I have to go at least next year.

"I can only let them rely on the silver to build the good hall and the store first, and the big and small troubles during this period have to be withstood by them and Yu Hanyi Taofu."

Liu Xingchun's helplessness lies in this, he is not afraid of the troubles on the underworld, he is afraid of the white road, if the widows of Panjin Lingwang do not have a stable government power behind them, there may be any risks.

"I heard that behind the Guangzhou settlement is the Guangzhou general Guan Yuanzhong, and it is not impossible to climb their line."

Listening to the Tao upstairs, Duan Hongshi gave a reference opinion.

"But what the An family wants is to trample us under their feet, and they are not helping until they compete for the winner."

Li Shi also had a headache, when An Liu came again, he only said that the family was still discussing, and it seemed that he would not be able to make a decision, but there was no news so far, and he seemed to be competing with himself to resist his surname, so the An family could not count on it.

"Why can't you go directly to Guangzhou? If you don't have an official body, you can also use other ways to make a name, and this name is a talisman. ”

Yiming Lao Dao spoke, and Li Xian Duan Hongshi was in high spirits, wanting to hear what this cultivator had to say.

"For example, I am an old man, if you want to do the Dharma, you must be dressed properly, collect your spirit, and make people dare not underestimate when you appear, even if you are a businessman, you can also have the skill of appearing on stage!"

You can say that again!

Li Xian slapped his face, he suddenly woke up, he only thought about taking care of everything before entering Guangzhou, and Duan Hongshi's consideration was only from officialdom, but if he changed his identity to a businessman and entered Guangzhou in an eye-catching way, this starting point would be different.

"Do you follow the line of Panjinling and go as the proprietor of the medicine hall for leprosy?"

Duan Hongshi's thinking also broadened, and the first thing that came to mind was the treatment of leprosy that Li Xian taught Pan Jinling.

"Although good karma can be advanced, there is a big problem when it is transformed."

Then Duan Hongshi himself denied it, although the proprietor of the good hall is very famous, but it will arouse the suspicion of those big and small immortals in the government, and his actions will always make people speculate about their motives, but it is easy to reunite his fame by turning business into charity.

"Big and small immortals, they should always have trouble, if you can help them solve a big trouble, not only can they show their means, but they can also climb the ladder to the clouds."

The old way is very unstandard, who doesn't know that solving people's worries is the way to get grace? The problem is people's worries, can you know? Knowing that, can you solve it again?

There is no clue about the secret discussion, but Li Xi has to face a trouble of his own.

"Lazy and slippery? Unmanageable? Buying other crops? ”

Lin Dashu, who is in charge of the farmer's cooperative, complained to Li Xian like this, Lin Dashu has always been very calm in his work, and he doesn't like to call, he wants to complain, the situation must be very serious.

"The fourth brother's method of wrapping up the field separates everyone from their own fields. Last year, they were only ploughing and opening ditches to add fertilizer, and there was no problem, seeing that they were going to plant in the spring, everyone's mind was not on the land, and they always wanted to hold on to their own few acres of ration fields. ”

Lin Dashu shook his head and sighed, Li Xian frowned, feeling that he had hit a big problem that he had neglected.

The Qingtian Company's agricultural cooperatives have 2,7800 mu of land, of which 6,700 mu are two or three mu of grain fields for each household in Lizhuang, and the rest is collectively managed by the peasant cooperatives, and the hired workers employed by the peasant cooperatives are actually idle households within the company. In addition to a fixed salary, the hired workers also assessed the allowance according to the harvest status, and the salary and allowance were about half to half ratio, which was a method made by Li Shi in combination with the incentive mechanism of the responsible fields and the company's employees.

But now Lin Dashu's report shows that this method obviously does not mobilize the active surname of the employees, because the land is not their own after all, and the harvest has not had a fatal impact on their lives. They prefer to devote their time and energy to their own fields, even if they only have two or three acres, and they are their own. Many people have money in their pockets and even go out to buy fields.

Is this the so-called smallholder mentality?

Li Shi frowned secretly, in his previous life, he was also a child of a peasant family, and he had done a lot of interviews and reports on rural areas in his work as a reporter, so he knew a little about this thing, but ...... Is it that stubborn?

"Fourth brother, you still don't know about farming after all, this is different from working in the workshop."

It seems that Lin Dashu also felt that there was something wrong with Li Shi's Baotian method, and when he saw that Li Shi had something to think about, he also spoke bluntly.

"Where's the key?"

Li Xi really didn't know much about farming, so he asked for advice very humbly.

"Working in the workshop, no matter how risky it is, things will come out little by little under the nose, and the work is easy to calculate, diligent or not, visible at a glance, but farming is different. Field...... It's like our farmer's ......"

Lin Dashu looked at the vast field outside Zhuangzi and was bored for a while before he found a metaphor.

"It's like our farmer's son, you have to take care of it with your own hands every season, feed it at any time, and take care of it at any time. To add fertilizer, weeding and insect repellent, you have to look at the sky and feng shui, and after a few months, you can see the harvest. ”

The more Lin Dashu spoke, the more fluent he became, and the more Li Xi listened, the more serious he became.

Therefore, if the field is not completely linked to his own son, the farmer will not think of putting in all his heart, just like raising someone else's son, even if he is close, he will always feel that he is separated by a layer. Fourth brother, your land contracting method has actually taken this into account, and the employees of the agricultural cooperatives are just like our previous long-term workers. But everyone still has their own ration fields, and the fixed salary given by the fourth brother is similar to that of long-term workers, so everyone naturally cares more about their own fields. ”

This is really a problem, the land and the peasants, the roots of the land of China, Li Shi was speechless, pondered for a long time, and resolutely made a decision.

"Demolish the farmer's cooperative, and sell the field!"

In fact, there are modest solutions, such as abolishing the fixed salary and replacing it entirely with an allowance, or distributing the field to hired laborers as if it were tenants. But in this way, what is the meaning of the existence of the agricultural cooperative? It's better to just transfer ownership.

Regarding this field issue, judging from the experience of Li Xian's previous life, he can't just toss around. In terms of his heart, he wants to roll, not shovel. When he established the sauce vat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with capital, it was also decided that he could not start at the same time on the land, after all, there could only be a starting point for things.

At first, he founded the agricultural cooperative, but also with the mentality of testing the waters, with enterprise intensive farming, to try whether the farmers can be organized, now this has not been launched, it shows a fatal flaw, after all, there is no agricultural machinery, or have to rely on people to farm, and the field is less and more people, and there is no way to learn from the Europeans like the rotation of ploughing and fallow the field, take the farm route.

If his Qingtian Company is compared to a political axe, it now seems that his hand of this political axe has stretched too deep and is basically engaged in the nationalization of land. And this route, even in the small Li Zhuang, there is a problem that is difficult to grasp, it is better to let go of this hand, and you can take less responsibility, after all, the land is not the "-stirring stick". We'll see what route we'll take later.

In the end, Li Xi decided that instead of unified management of the fields and unified hiring people to cultivate them, he would sell them to specific households before spring planting, and give priority to the people who contracted the fields before the agricultural cooperatives, which were limited to the villagers within the Qingtian Company and those who had close relations in the vicinity. As for how the imperial grain should be apportioned, Li Shi handed it over to Lin Dashu, and let his shopkeepers supervise the flow of land rights and interests, so as to figure out the appropriate calculation method, which can be regarded as an experiment, and the experiment is to assume the responsibility of the government.

The peasant cooperatives were not completely abolished, in addition to still being responsible for the money and grain accounts of the people in the Shangguan Mansion, Li Shi also left two or three hundred acres of land as experimental fields, all kinds of new crops, and the previous cattle and other things were also taken back to the peasant cooperatives. Everyone else wants to buy or rent, and the farmer's cooperative is responsible for it.

"You still have to settle accounts...... Can you ask Guan Xuan to help me? ”

Hearing that he was in charge of handling the accounts, Lin Dashu complained bitterly.

"That's child labor! It's against the law! ”

Li Yan was annoyed, and she was angry when she saw Guan Xuan spreading joy in the account book, it should be the time for the little girl to have fun, and she had to find fault for herself.

"Illegal ......"

Lin Dashu touched his chin, and said in his heart, when did the Qing Dynasty law say this?

"Violate my law!"

Li Shi glared at him, and Lin Dashu quickly shook his hand, not daring to mention this topic again.

"At this time, the price should be good, and the weather is warmer earlier this year, so it is estimated that everyone will want to plant sugarcane."

Lin Dashu changed the topic, and his words made Li Xian frown, don't grow food?

"Food...... We rely on Hunan and Jiangxi, and the grain is quite cheap, even if there are any fluctuations, it is not as beneficial as in the south. Now the price of food is indeed rising, about a penny more than last year, but it is normal. ”

Lin Dashu's explanation has been elaborated in more detail in Guan Xuan.

"Fourth brother, in the past month, there have been thirty percent more grain ships than last year, but the valuation is still rising, and now it is one or two or three dollars per stone, which has exceeded last year's market price."

Guan Xuan took out a curve chart drawn by herself, and after she intervened in the accounts of the Hun Huan Pass, she began to monitor several important commercial goods such as salt, iron, rice and sugar. This kind of thing that integrates numbers with practical matters, and then finds out the problems from them, but what she likes and is best at the most is like the "Investigation Report on the Current Situation of the Yingde Tea Industry" that she did before. Li Xi had to admit that this little girl did have the potential to be the "director of the National Development and Reform Commission".

Hearing Guan Xuan's report, Li Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to ...... He found a big trouble for those big and small immortals in Guangzhou City, and he was about to face a big trouble.
