Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 632

Every time it comes to the harvest season, even if they are tired, people's mood is happy.

In the rice field, looking at the brothers Li Tai and Li Ke who had been mowing with him for an hour without taking a breath, Li Shimin felt that these children of his had grown up.

"Father, if you are tired, take a rest first! If you want to set an example, cut it symbolically and forget it. If you keep cutting it, the common people will think we are stupid." Seeing Li Shimin straighten up and look at himself, Li Tai, who finally got the chance to speak, spoke.

"Think we're stupid?"

"Yeah! The field on the side of the paddy field is as flat as a knife cut. It is easy and fast to mow the rice with the improved forward-push mower. Manually only need to cut the corners and corners that are not cut. It’s good that you have been mowing here, and those ministers can only follow..."

When Li Tai said this, he shut up and dared not speak, because Li Shimin's face had turned dark.

At this moment, he deeply realized how great the responsibility of being the leader of a country is. As long as he makes a mistake, it is very likely that everyone will make mistakes with him. Of course, there are still some individual differences. Condition.

Sun Xiangfu did not bow down to cut rice with a sickle like many ministers who accompanied them to the No. [-] paddy field. At this moment, he held his second daughter, Sun Wanyu, in his left arms, and his second son, Sun Feng, in his right arms. Daughter Sun Wanting lay on his back, using a huge lotus leaf as an umbrella to help them cover the sun, while the eldest son Sun Jing, holding a reed tassel, sat in front of Sun Xiangfu and drove the generals When the big water buffalo slowly pushed forward by the rice harvesting cart needs to turn, Sun Xiangfu will tell his son to pull the rope tied to the ox prong. At first glance, it looks like he is teaching his son how to harvest rice. The car, in fact, he was accompanying the child, playing with the rice harvesting cart that needed a cow to move, treating it as a big toy.

"Dear dears, you have worked hard. I personally lead everyone to harvest in the field, just to let everyone experience the hard work of farmers. From now on, when offering advice and suggestions, we will give more preference to vulnerable groups like farmers."

"Your Majesty is merciful..."

Seeing the compliments from the mountains and tsunami in the rice field, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin in a daze. At this moment, he realized how far he was from an emperor.

"Let that guy come over."

Li Shimin wiped the sweat off his face, pointed to Sun Xiangfu, who was having a great time playing with the child on the rice harvesting cart, and said.

Not long after, Li Shimin had put down his scythe for cutting rice and sat in the shed where the treadmill was placed.

"Your Majesty, do you have something to do with the grassroots?" Sun Xiangfu walked into the shed reluctantly and said, he was playing with a few children on the rice cart, and was disturbed, so he was naturally a little depressed.

"You people in Jiuyuan County all use that kind of rice harvesting cart?"

"That's right! There are wheat-cutting carts in Guanzhong. Our Jiuyuan County naturally has rice-cutting carts. Now, isn't the farm tool factory in Weinan researching wheat and rice-threshing carts? I, in Jiuyuan County, will definitely purchase them immediately, sharpening knives does not miss firewood cutters, and the progress of these farm tools will make it easier for us to plow and harvest in the fields."

"As far as I know, a rice harvesting cart like this needs very sharp blades and tough gears, and the cost is not less than a hundred dollars. Is their family so rich?"

"Yes! Since the business of each embankment started in November last year, the output of each of them has been continuously sold out. Moreover, the profit part of the Nine Embankment Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the expenditure on welfare guarantees, has been paid every day. Only 20% of the monthly profits will go to the business managers, and the rest will be distributed to all the common people on a household basis, just like before when the laborers in the north returned home, the aristocratic family headed by the Wang family bought it at the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce for a lump sum. Goods worth more than [-] guan! The profit from this business alone is enough for about [-] households in Jiuyuan County, and each family can get several guan of money!"

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Li Shimin remembered this. When he looked at the data of Jiuyuan County, he always looked at the latest data, but he never thought about combining all the data from the previous few months. The profit is 40 to 10,000 guan, and now the daily profit is 30 to [-] guan. On average, the monthly profit of various industries in Jiuyuan County is more than [-] guan. After half a year, it is more than [-] guan. There are still [-] to [-] guan left!

This is only the profit calculation of the Chamber of Commerce’s external sales of products. The raw materials sold by the people to the Chamber of Commerce and the wages they get for working in the Chamber of Commerce are not included in the calculation. More, there are still more than 200 deposits.

The people in the No. [-] paddy field have no pressure at all to spend ten times and eight times to buy an iron-bearing cart produced by a farm tool factory.

Spend a lot of money and buy a high-quality awning boat built by a local shipyard, which is also standard equipment for each shipyard.

As for this kind of rice harvesting cart that can only be purchased for hundreds of years, not every family buys it, but there are at least thirty or fifty carts in a village, and ten households share one cart. During the double-grab period, it can save a lot of money. Labor force, after that, when other new large-scale farm tools come out, those households who have not bought rice harvesting carts will pay to buy them, which can basically guarantee that all farm work can be done at the efficiency of the most efficient farm tools. Next, finish quickly.

"You let them use the best farm tools, do you want them to grow more land?"

"That's not it. It's to make it easier for them to farm the land, so that they can save more time and do other things."

"time."

Li Shimin immediately pointed out the key point of Sun Xiangfu's words, and then looked into the distance. Brothers Li Taike and Li Ke, who are like big boys, have a little more understanding in their hearts. It turns out that "time" is like this important.

After a while, Li Shimin said again, "You told Sun Dali before that you let them farm better so that more people will not farm in the future. I heard from the Queen that you will My Tang Dynasty has pushed the ambition to a new height that completely surpassed Qin and Han, could it be that, in your heart, at that new height, everyone's focus is not on farming?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was taken aback for a moment. He also told Yu Xiu'er about this idea. It seems that Yu Xiu'er talked about this matter with Empress Changsun, so he couldn't hide it and had to tell Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, you have lived in Jiuyuan County for a while. What do you think is lacking in Jiuyuan County?"

"What else does Jiuyuan County lack?"

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's question, Li Shimin was surprised. Could it be that even the current state of Jiuyuan County is not perfect in Sun Xiangfu's eyes?

"In my opinion, there are still many things missing. First of all, he lacks talents. All industries lack management talents. Most of the existing management talents were originally forced by ordinary people. They deal with emergencies. And the ability to open up to the outside world is very low.

The level of officials is only at the level of handling simple daily public affairs, and they do not have the ability to formulate long-term and effective management mechanisms. In terms of supervision, they can only be very one-sided. If the things they deal with are more complicated, they will The opponent, even more cunning, can easily destroy the entire system.

And how can this be done?
Only increase their intelligence level.

Just in terms of opening up people's wisdom, we are also facing relatively big difficulties. For example, there are more than 6 school-age children in Jiuyuan County, but the entire county has only five to six hundred teachers. On average, each of them has to teach There are more than 100 students, and the class time is basically [-] hours a day.

This is the case even in Jiuyuan County, not to mention other places.

Like last year, all the fields were built.Why can't these welfare projects be implemented in Jinan County, where the people have been resettled?They directly introduced the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the government and local people.

This is because they have only achieved equivalent hardware, and the conditions are not yet mature in terms of software.

Ordinary people need at least half a year of civil studies education, and management talents in all aspects must have at least half a year of training. After all production technologies, management levels, and output capabilities are comparable to the current level of Jiuyuan County, As for Zhongxiang County, where the embankment was built at the beginning of this year to resettle the people, it will take more than a year.

Therefore, from these contexts, we can see that if the wisdom of the people is not developed, it will hinder our development. After the wisdom of the people is opened, farming is really a simple matter. As long as you are not mentally retarded, you can rely on With our own hands, and our relatively mature agricultural technology accumulated from generation to generation, we can grow crops that can meet the needs of many people. "

Li Shimin nodded while listening, and after Sun Xiangfu stopped, he said, "The new height you mentioned is a society where the people's wisdom is fully developed, and the people no longer have to worry about the most basic living materials?"

"It's almost like this! We plant good fields so that more people can learn and research more technologies in various aspects without farming, and a considerable part of these technologies is to make it easier for us. This is a virtuous circle. In this circle, our country will become stronger and stronger, and gradually make up for some defects and loopholes, so that we can always maintain the world's most Strong competitiveness, when the competitiveness of our Datang in all aspects has always been unsurpassed by others, then it is the most stable and prosperous."

"A virtuous circle? The word..."

"Oh, it means developing in a good direction, getting better and better."

"What I want to say is that this word is used well." After listening to Sun Xiangfu's explanation, Li Shimin changed the subject.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. In fact, in my eyes, there is no perfect policy or country. Perhaps, when our Tang Dynasty really surpassed Qin and Han in an all-round way and reached a new height, I still feel that there are many things in it. Short boards need to be made up, perhaps, as a country manager, should always think about making up for short boards!"

When Sun Xiangfu said this, he didn't think much about it, but it made Li Shimin feel a little more in his heart.

As a country manager, you should always think about how to make up for the country's shortcomings, and you can't have arrogance, complacency, and self-sufficiency. What a brilliant truth!
