Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 84 Cooperatives

There was a voice in Zhou Shensi's heart that wanted to resist Tang Beilu's words, but the more Zhou Shensi thought about it, the more he felt that a new idea was taking root in his body.

After Tang Beilu left, Zhou Shensi kept flipping through his textbooks, which were all written in vernacular.The official documents of the new imperial court were generally required to be written in vernacular. Although they were in vernacular, they had to be sophisticated and detailed and accurate.

Zhou Shensi could understand every word in the textbook, but it took a lot of effort to connect them together to understand the meaning.

"Those related to agricultural production and directly related to people's food are the primary industry; those made by hand or machine processing, such as textiles and papermaking, are the secondary industry; , for the tertiary industry..."

"For generations, dynasties have been based on agriculture. However, as times have changed, we need to know that today there is no stability without agriculture, no strength without industry, and no wealth without business. Therefore, our government needs to regard agriculture, industry, and commerce as equally important."

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces. In the past, the ancients used stones as agricultural tools, which was inefficient. Later, some people knew how to smelt iron, and iron agricultural tools became popular, and the efficiency increased. The inventions of ox farming, water wheels, and plows all brought efficiency. Improvement, which in turn leads to an increase in agricultural output. Science and technology come from the knowledge of things, the accumulation of human knowledge of ancestors and the mastery of natural principles promote scientific development, and workshop craftsmen summarize and create experiences to promote technological progress. As a country Cadres should give priority to the development of culture and education, and encourage the development of science and technology..."

"The development of commerce helps to coordinate the balance of regional development and form a healthier and more stable economic structure and society. For example, the chaos that led to the emperor Chongzhen's great line was a natural disaster on the surface, but in fact it was barren in the northwest and there was no commercial goods. For the benefit, the grain merchants headed by Shanxi merchants transported the grain from the south of the Yangtze River to Liao and other places, but ignored Shaanxi. For example, the country's resources are well allocated and the logistics is normal, and Shaanxi has its own goods, so there is silver and goods in circulation, and grain will naturally come in. Go to the northwest..."

In Zhou Shensi's view, many things are very difficult to understand, while some things are deafening to read.He once asked the teacher who compiled these textbooks, and the teacher said that the chief writers and editors were officials and doctors from the Ministry of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Officials of the imperial court, and the outline and some main points of view were provided by His Royal Highness.

After Zhou Shensi knew these things, he was very impressed. After all, at this time the Prince Jianguo held the greatest power in the court, and Emperor Yongli was only a mascot. Everyone in the cadre school who studied these theories was basically a student of the emperor.

Most people in the cadre school are working very hard to absorb these brand-new theories. Although they are different from the scriptures they have been in contact with, most people who are ambitious know that the prince wants to do new and extraordinary things, and hopes to pass the old ones. It is impossible for someone from the DPRK to serve as an official.What's more, most of these people in the cadre school are losers in the previous imperial examination system.According to the new regulations of His Royal Highness, as long as they graduate from this school, they will be appointed to official positions, and they may all start as the head of a county.

The administrative level of Nanming Xinxing has undergone a modern transformation, which has streamlined the level and enriched its functions.From the original nine grades, a total of eighteen grades, to a grade of six grades, a total of twelve grades.From the Prime Minister of the First Rank to the ministers of various ministries, governors of various provinces, and consolation envoys.The magistrate is already an official position of the fourth rank, which can be said to be very important.

While Bai Mingxiu was preparing for the upcoming war, he still had time to manage Hainan.Hainan is located in the tropics, and the water and heat environment is relatively good. Almost any time of the year is the farming season.In addition, the population of the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture is only more than [-], and there is a large amount of land waiting to be reclaimed.Bai Mingxiuzhiqiong immediately issued many incentive policies, including the full exemption of rent and tax this year, and the reclaimed farmland is owned by himself.

As a large number of landless Hainan farmers obtained their own land, Bai Mingxiu began to organize agricultural production cooperatives.

In Meiwang Village, not far from Qiongzhou Fucheng, a group of mud-legged farmers looked at the young people in front of them with trepidation.

Bai Mingxiu stood among the peasants with a smile. He didn't wear his court clothes or formal clothes. Instead, he was wearing work clothes, with his hair tied up and his sleeves rolled up.He didn't say that he was the prince, but that he was from the government.It's just that seeing a group of people guarding him, the villagers know that this must be a high-ranking official, but they don't know why he is so young.

"Don't be afraid of me, you guys. I'm just here to tell you what this so-called agricultural production cooperative is. Everyone has land now, right?"

A courageous Qingnong Daqian said: "Thanks to the prince, the bullies in our village were captured by the army, and all the land that swallowed everyone was spit out. Everyone now has their own landed."

Speaking of which, everyone wanted to kneel down to Bai Mingxiu, but Bai Mingxiu immediately stopped them and said, "Don't kneel, there are not so many rules, let's talk about this kind of field today."

He smiled and said to the farmers: "There are now more than 30 households in the village, and now every family has land. This is each family's private land. The 'agricultural production cooperative' promoted by the government today will allocate land, Farm animals, tools, grain and other production tools, besides cultivating their own land, everyone can also cultivate the land in the cooperative. Moreover, the big guys will choose a prestigious president, who can organize everyone in normal times. In production and life, if each family is busy, neighbors can help each other. Moreover, the government's Agricultural Bureau will provide support and subsidies to various cooperatives. For example, we now have a new rice seed that can at least double the yield per mu. . There will be better fertilizers in the future, so that the crops will grow less diseased and longer. Of course, cooperatives have more functions, such as joint defense among various companies, which can deal with petty thieves and bandits, and can communicate with the government to make us better play a role..."

The farmers are all confused, but they all understand the rice seed that can double the yield per mu.

The young farmer widened his eyes and asked, "Can it really double the yield per mu?"

Bai Mingxiu laughed and said: "Yes, there will be more powerful things in the future. Everyone is an expert in growing crops. However, our ships travel all over the world and can always bring back some good things. In addition, there are always talented people who can cultivate better seeds. This is called agricultural technology. The government will promote better agricultural technologies and resources so that everyone can benefit."

An older farmer didn't quite trust him: "Why is the government taking care of our farming...?"

Bai Mingxiu said: "That's right, the land is divided, the government's seeds are taken, and your corvee is also exempted, so should you join this cooperative or not?"

The old farmer lowered his neck and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."

Bai Mingxiu showed a bright smile again and said: "Let me tell you, don't call the government government anymore. Our Ming Dynasty is the government, presiding over political affairs, not being an official. We are asking for orders for the people."

Everyone listens to it, but they don't believe it anyway. After all, these concepts have been rooted for thousands of years.
