312 The Way of Development
The Xuanhuang Continent, with its social background, is somewhat similar to the ancient feudal dynasties. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feudal society is a social form based on the exploitation of peasants by the landlord class, and in short, it is based on agricultural development, and it implements a ruling policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and advocates taking agricultural production as the foundation and constantly restricting the development of industry and commerce.
The establishment of an agricultural country is a traditional idea of governing the country in the Xuanhuang Continent, and the same is true of the country as a small country that does not enter the stream, ensuring fiscal revenue through the collection of land tax, and tightly binding the peasants to the land, which is conducive to social stability and stability.
In such an environment, the position of commerce is very awkward, although there are small workshops, but there is no large-scale production, it is completely in the embryonic state of capitalism, but it has not been vigorously developed.
This is a rare opportunity for Yi Tian, because only he has a clearer understanding that only by vigorously promoting industrial and commercial development can he quickly promote the economic development of the city and will also produce a great demographic dividend.
At this point, he needed to find someone to discuss, and this person was none other than the internal affairs envoy, Lord Yang You.
Because, Yang You studied under Zhou Fuzi, and the subjects he studied were not anything else, and it was business that was not taken seriously.
Although there is this discipline, business has not been popularized, and no one wants to learn it at all, for a simple reason, which is rooted in Confucianism, which believes that business teaches people to value profit over righteousness, and will only produce mercenary businessmen.
But on the contrary, Yang You learned business, and I have to say that Yi Tian's luck was indeed to find a right-hand man.
At this time, this internal affairs envoy also had something to look for Yi Tian, but it was not something else, and it was the same thing as Wan Cangsong, who had just left in a hurry.
As we all know, the Ministry of Industry has received strong support from the city lords, and is drawing the blueprint for the design of the city, and it is necessary to carry out infrastructure construction on a large scale.
However, if this is the case, the silver is a problem, it is not a small amount, such a large-scale project construction, the project cost is absolutely huge, and it is not something that Wuji City can raise in a short time.
At present, the main source of finance in Wuji City is actually only the land tax, but what value can farmers produce if they dig in the soil for a year, and if they can't pay it, they can pay at most some food, especially if they have just upgraded to a third-order city, there are too many places that need money, and sometimes even military salaries have to be in arrears.
There was no money in the city, not only did it have to develop armaments, but the military department was a big spender and was ready to carry out large-scale construction.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is indeed difficult for a strong man, no wonder this internal envoy has a big headache.
I have to say that this is an urgent issue, and if it is not resolved, it is empty talk to talk about development.
Don't look at it, just now, Yi Tian's high-spirited appearance, pointing at the design blueprint, in fact, when you want to completely turn the things drawn on the drawings into real objects, you need real gold and silver to pile up.
If you don't have money, you can't hire people and buy materials, which is a very real problem.
However, at this point, Yi Tian is more confident, that is, to develop industry and commerce.
Developing handicrafts, making affordable goods, exporting them to other cities, and earning the difference in price, you can quickly accumulate wealth.
At the same time, it also provides a large number of jobs, attracts foreign people to the city, and continues to increase the number of urban population.
This is his development strategy, first put the money aside, after all, the city is still in the planning and design, and has not yet reached the stage of real implementation, the problem of money can be temporarily alleviated, I believe that there will be a solution at that time.
First of all, it is necessary to make the concept of development clear, and everything else is easy to say.
The development of industry and commerce, when Yi Tian put forward such a concept, if it was someone else's presence, I am afraid that it would definitely be a big mistake, or even sneer, after all, agriculture and agriculture have governed the country for thousands of years, and no one has ever changed such a status quo.
However, Yang You is obviously different, for the top students of business, he understands the value, his eyes immediately glow, and his face is full of excitement, which is also the dream in his heart.
However, it's just that he is quite tactful, if the city lord doesn't mean this, he naturally won't bring it up easily, and he is well versed in the truth of self-preservation.
Speaking of which, the disciples of Master Zhou, if they want to rule the world, have their own different ideas.
The eldest disciple Yao Qian is a soldier, and he believes that all soldiers should be soldiers, so as to continuously improve their combat power.
The third disciple, Li Yunyou, was a farmer and advocated agriculture-oriented, so as to continuously consolidate the foundation.
The fifth disciple, Meng Zhiqiu, was a Confucian, and proposed to educate people with benevolence, which was a strategy for managing the city.
The sixth disciple Liang Feizi is a legalist, and he thinks that the rule of law governs the country, which is the foundation of governing the city.
Only he, the ninth-ranked disciple, has learned the trivial business science, and it is also the most unpopular academic concept, if it is placed in any city, it will not be taken seriously, and it may even be thrown out of the door.
However, for Yi Tian, the Lord of Wuji City, it was like a treasure, and it was difficult to find a person like this who could fully implement his philosophy.
The industrial base is an important plan for the future blueprint of the city, and Yitian plans to open a factory there, but it is difficult at the beginning of everything, and what kind of factory to open first is a difficult problem to choose.
In his previous life, he graduated from a third-rate pheasant university, and his academic performance was also conceivable, and it was unrealistic for him to build aircraft and cannons, after all, he was limited by scientific and technological productivity, and it was impossible to come up with those modern technologies.
Not to mention aircraft cannons, even among the four great inventions of ancient times, the simplest papermaking technology may not be able to be made, although it is said that it knows the general principle, but it does not understand the specific details.
Therefore, if you want to start as soon as possible, you must choose the top product with a large market demand and a relatively mature process, reduce costs through centralized production, and then sell them in batches to other cities, so that you can quickly accumulate wealth.
Here, Yang You put forward two suggestions, that is, textiles and ceramics.
Textile, in the context of male ploughing and female weaving, this belongs to the family workshop type, although it is said that every family has a textile machine, but the efficiency of labor operation is low, and the process is relatively simple and rough, it is difficult to form large-scale production.
Ceramics are divided into tile bricks and pottery, the former is a building material, the latter is mainly used for cooking, and it is also a handicraft workshop, not only the production quality is uneven, but there is no mass production.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic material needs, but these two items basically cover most of them, and the demand in the market is huge, and there is unimaginable development space.
First of all, it is necessary to recruit professional talents, conduct research and development in technology, see if we can improve the process, and improve labor productivity as much as possible.
Then, the site selection of the factory was carried out, the workers were recruited for training, the construction workers were put into production, and in other major cities, people were sent to purchase shops to form a branded sales channel.
Although Yang You has his own expression, it can be heard in Yi Tian's ears, it simply coincides with his thinking, and he was overjoyed at the moment, even if he made a decision, he handed over the matter to him with full authority.
I believe that as long as the textile and pottery industries develop, as for the others, the industrial base will be like a snowball, it will become stronger and stronger, and the economic strength of Wuji City will increase simultaneously, and it will be difficult to become strong or not.
