Chapter 397 Agricultural and commercial cooperation
Damn it.
Everyone couldn't help but cursed, could things still be done like this?
Although Qin An kept saying that it was his fault, all he said was his own credit. If anyone dared to assassinate Qin An, he would be the mortal enemy of the entire people of Qin.
This group of people includes the people of the original Six Nations.
Li Si said: "Village chief, this method is good, you can give it a try."
"You can indeed give it a try." Ying Zheng agreed, "It's a pity that the First Emperor is no longer here." 33
Li Si and others heard the implication and might give it a try after returning.
Qin An nodded and continued: "The next thing is business.
Yang Jian's commercial reforms were also one of the reasons why many nations came to the Sui Dynasty. He built a new city of Daxing near the original capital, opening two cities in the east and west. The east city was named Dudu, and the west city was named Liren.
It became the largest commercial city at that time. Not only domestic merchants from the Sui Dynasty came to Daxing City to do business, but also merchants from various countries came to do business. The tax revenue of Daxing City could offset half of the tax. "
"Then if the First Emperor wanted to develop business, couldn't he also build the east and west cities?"
"You can give it a try." Qin An said, "However, commerce was not developed in Da Qin. Even if the east and west cities are built, I don't know what the results will be."
"What if all the industries here are moved to the east and west cities?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's still too little." Qin An said
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Is there no other way?"
Qin An shook his head and said: "There are not no ways. If we really want to set up east-west workshops and discover commerce in the Qin Dynasty.
First, we must increase industries, and the court must strongly support those industries. The news must also be informed to the people across the country. The most important thing is that officials must not be corrupt.
Once an official becomes corrupt, things will become difficult to handle. The other things actually don't matter much. As long as the merchants from the entire Qin Dynasty are brought together, it would be better to open up the Silk Road in the Western Regions. That would be better.
There are only merchants in the country. Even if they want to develop business, they are only merchants in the country. They can only develop business in one place, not across the country.
After all, productivity is still backward, industries are scarce, and labor is in short supply.
So I suggest that if you are really in Da Qin, then don’t think about developing business, but integrate agriculture and business.
First solve the problems of food, clothing and housing for the people. When I first came to the village, all the people in the village were thatched huts, the food they ate was just some grains, and the clothes they wore were just a piece of rag.
This shows what? "
Ying Zheng's face turned red and he said, "It's because I am incompetent and have not allowed the people to live a good life."
"Village Chief, it's my fault." Li Si said immediately, "It's because I didn't do my job well and didn't assist the village chief properly."
"It was my fault."
"I was at fault too."
"And I."
Feng Quji, Meng Yi and Meng Wu said at the same time that this responsibility cannot be borne by the First Emperor, let alone Li Si.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to argue, it's my fault, luckily I can make up for it in time.
Qin An, please tell me how we can achieve the integration of agriculture and business. "
“To put it simply, the combination of agriculture and business is the cooperation between businessmen and farmers, including cooperation in the production link, processing link and purchase and sale link.
Specific contents include: cooperation in the production of agricultural and sideline products. First of all, you need to know what agricultural and sideline products are. "
"Then what are agricultural and sideline products?" Li Si asked curiously.
“Agricultural and sideline products are by-products brought by agricultural production, including agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline, and fishery products.
They are divided into several major categories such as grain, cash crops, bamboo and wood, industrial oil and paint glue, livestock products, cocoons and silk, dried and fresh fruits, dried and fresh vegetables and condiments, medicinal materials, soil by-products, and aquatic products.
Each major category is divided into several subcategories.
Among them, economic crops include medicinal materials, cotton and other crops that can produce economic benefits.
Therefore, farmers not only only know how to farm land, but also the land does not only know how to grow food. If there is not enough food to eat, it is right to grow food. After the food is enough to eat, or when there is too much left, some places can be used to plant other crops. of.
For example, in the village, I used part of the land to plant sweet potatoes, and part of the land to plant potatoes, rapeseed flowers, etc.
The first agricultural and sideline products cooperation is based on the actual situation and market needs of each village to decide which agricultural and sideline products to cooperate with.
For example, when merchants learn that there is a certain medicinal material that is currently scarce and the price is very high, they can find a village suitable for growing medicinal materials and let the villagers grow the medicinal materials.
After the medicinal materials grow, merchants purchase them directly. In this way, both merchants and farmers can profit.
The second is cooperation in processing agricultural and sideline products.
This is a processing workshop jointly operated by the village and businessmen. The businessman provides the space, equipment, and is also responsible for processing and production, while the village provides funds, raw materials, product promotion, etc.
In the end, the two are divided proportionally. Of course, the businessman can also provide capital, equipment, technology, and then the village provides raw materials, labor force, etc.
Specific arrangements should be made for specific situations and should be applied flexibly and not too rigidly. I just gave a rough idea. "
"It makes sense." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "With the funds from businessmen, farmers can also solve their worries, and businessmen can also solve the problem of insufficient manpower.
Kill two birds with one stone, truly achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.
Qin An, there is one more thing you haven’t mentioned yet, it seems to be agricultural and sideline products sales cooperation. "
"Father-in-law, don't be anxious, I was just about to say this." Qin An smiled and said, "Sales cooperation, as the name suggests, means buying and selling agricultural and sideline products together.
However, although it is said that they are bought together and then sold together, the labor is divided and cooperated.
The merchant and the village will sign a cooperation contract, that is, a contract. They will first purchase agricultural and sideline products from the village or other villages, and then sell them.
These three points are the main manifestations of agricultural and commercial joint ventures.
However, to reflect the cooperation between agriculture and business, businessmen cannot cooperate with farmers alone. A single farmer cannot cooperate with businessmen.
It is absolutely possible to set up rural cooperatives and use rural cooperation to cooperate with businessmen.
It would be best for the court to set up a supply and marketing cooperative, which would pay attention to the supply and marketing situation in the market, and then inform the merchants of the agricultural and sideline products needed by the market, and the merchants would go to the countryside and negotiate with the rural cooperatives.
At that time, as long as the villagers grew the agricultural and sideline products they needed in addition to food, or raised chickens, ducks and other items.
At that time, it was actually a cooperation between businessmen and rural cooperatives, and there was no direct cooperative relationship with the villagers.
Once a merchant breaches the contract, it is a matter between the merchant and the cooperative. "
"But are all the villagers participating in the cooperative?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Although the villagers participated together, the village government also participated here, so this is not just a matter for the villagers, but for the entire village." Qin An said.
Some people died, but not completely...
