Haha—you even got into a fight with me!
Prince Anqi squinted his eyes and glanced at Changsun Wuji, who was pretending to be indifferent with the corners of his mouth raised, and then looked at Li Shimin and others who were making a fuss. If a tiger doesn't show off its power, you treat me like a sick cat. You haven't seen my heroic demeanor in attacking hard on the Internet.
"It's true that summer insects cannot speak of ice. Ignorance is really terrible——"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others:...
Are we still looked down upon by others?
However, before they could answer, Wang Zi'an glanced at them with a mocking look and said lightly.
"To improve people's labor efficiency, do we have to work overtime and work day and night? Isn't it necessary to be considerate of the people? If you don't know people's livelihood, don't interrupt and make people laugh..."
When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but secretly swallow them back.
He suddenly thought that this person could not be judged by common sense.
Keep a steady hand and watch the limelight before speaking, so as not to lose face again.
Kong Yingda and others didn't react, but Li Shimin was familiar with it. When he saw Wang Zi'an's posture, tone, and eyes, he was immediately blessed.
No need to ask, one more cup will probably be enough!
He lifted the wine bottle skillfully and filled another glass.
"Come on, Zian, let's talk about how to improve people's working efficiency - well, you know, several of our families still have some farms..."
The others were better off and had seen the way their majesty communicated with Wang Zi'an, but the eyes of the two old gentlemen who followed Kong Yingda almost popped out of their heads.
Your Majesty, are you doing this so easily?
Where is the majesty of our emperor——
However, His Majesty is not up to expectations, and there is nothing he can do about it.
The two old men were so angry that they picked up their wine glasses, took a sip, and drank it all!
Wang Zi'an pressed his glass and waved his hand casually.
"This is not simple. There are two aspects, one is the system and the other is the tool——"
Is there really a way?
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but secretly pricked up his ears.
Li Shimin and others looked forward to it.
"Why is the labor efficiency of the common people low? Because it is difficult for small households to form large-scale labor - you are like Old Uncle Hong - well, what about Old Uncle Hong -"
Wang Zi'an said, and after scanning around, he realized that at some point, Uncle Hong had disappeared...
"Lao Hong, you bastard, he just drank one drink and then ran away——"
When Wang Zi'an asked, Niu Jinda, who was sitting across from Old Uncle Hong, replied angrily.
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, well, Uncle Hong’s drinking capacity is even worse.
If you don't drink for a day, you will be greedy. If you don't drink for more than two taels, you will be drunk.
"For example, in Uncle Hong's house, there are only an old couple and a daughter left in the house. There are only a few people in the family, and there is no strong labor force. The labor efficiency is naturally low. If it were not for the help of neighbors, which year would not be the last?"
After Wang Zi'an said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of boiled water to moisten his throat.
"Situations like his are actually not uncommon, not to mention those who are widowed and lonely. This is just the labor force, there are other situations..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"For example, the working tools of each family are also different. Some families have more complete ones, while others are in short supply. Some families even don't even have decent farm tools, let alone livestock such as cattle - said Get up, it’s all because of poverty—”
Having said this, Wang Zi'an sighed sincerely.
"Before I came here, this place was even worse than what I said - I didn't know what the emperor and these prime ministers did for a living. They were people-oriented, people-oriented, shouting slogans every day, without any solid facts. Dry--"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why don't we do practical things?
We don’t have any spare time—well, there’s nothing we can do about it.
Since ancient times, if the common people have not been like this, what else can we do?
"Ahem - the emperor and the prime ministers are not as miserable as you said. It's just that the country has just been decided, and everything needs to be done, so we have to do it one by one -"
Kong Yingda secretly glanced at Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others. Seeing that they all looked embarrassed, he quickly explained aloud. As he spoke, he winked at Wang Zi'an desperately.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel amused and asked pretending to be surprised.
"Kong Jijiu, what's wrong with your eyes? Do you want me to help you take a look—"
Kong Yingda:......
"I was blinded by the wind! It's okay - no need -"
The old man was so angry that he picked up the wine glass and drank it in a sip. Say no more, just do as you like!
Wang Zi'an then stretched his waist, picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, and continued.
"In short, the current situation is that many people have land in their hands, but they cannot plant it..."
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing this.
Wang Zi'an, these are pragmatic words.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, wars broke out, the economy collapsed, and the population suffered serious losses. This was still near Chang'an, and the situation in other places was even more severe. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to force ordinary families to marry their girls and have children early.
"What should I do if I need people but no one, tools but no tools, livestock but no livestock? One household can't do it or the efficiency is low?"
Wang Zi'an paused slightly when he said this.
Tang Jian, who was listening intently, asked subconsciously.
"what to do--"
Old Tang, you are indeed my favorite!
This praise is very timely.
"What should we do? Of course it's win-win cooperation - since one household can't do it alone, why not set up a mutual aid group? Of course, you can call it a rural cooperative if you want -"
Support group?
cooperative?
Li Shimin and others couldn't help but look at each other with a look of surprise.
Although they didn't know what a mutual aid group cooperative was, they could vaguely guess what Wang Zi'an meant as the name suggested.
"You mean, let people help each other-"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but interjected and asked.
As a servant of the Tang Dynasty, he had a hunch that the method Wang Zi'an mentioned might actually be feasible.
"Although it's not comprehensive, it basically means something like this - what I mean is to pool labor, farm tools, livestock and other resources to carry out mutual aid and cooperation on a village basis - I call it a mutual aid group, or you can call it a For rural cooperatives——”
As soon as Wang Zi'an said this, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads.
Wei Zheng twirled his beard, pondered for a long time, and glanced at Wang Zi'an hesitantly.
"This method can make up for the shortage of farm tools, labor shortages and livestock shortages. It sounds feasible, but in actual implementation, I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic -"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but frown, and nodded slightly in agreement.
"Yes, those whose families have a lot of young people, laborers, farm tools and livestock, I'm afraid they won't agree, right?"
Okay, just by asking, it's much better than those bastards in the previous life who just painted a pie for employees, shouted slogans, talked about spirit, and talked about ideals.
