Chapter 1329: Feng Ni's Troubles
The impact of machine-made cloth on the rural small-scale peasant economy is there, but the impact is still controlled within a certain range, because most of the women in rural families spin and weave cloth to make cloth, which is made into clothes for their families to wear, and there is no surplus cloth to sell.
Therefore, the price of cotton cloth on the market does not affect their self-sufficiency, and the first one or two pieces of silver for a piece of cloth, and ten taels of silver for a piece of cloth have no practical meaning for them, because they are self-sufficient and do not participate in the market economy.
As for spinning and weaving for a long time, or simply organizing many people to spin and weave for a long time, and then take it out to sell for money, there is, but in fact there are not many of them, and this model is actually out of the category of self-sufficiency, which is already a traditional small workshop model, and the majority of ordinary farmers have little to do with it.
In fact, most of this kind of textile workshops have been upgraded in the past so many years.
The big textile companies may buy hundreds of machines and employ hundreds or even thousands of workers to produce cloth, but for those small workshops, they can also buy one or two pieces of machinery and continue their small workshop production.
Therefore, the reform of the textile industry, in fact, the impact on the rural self-sufficiency economy is not large, and the circulation of goods in rural areas is very scarce, which is destined to make it difficult for the market economy to affect the closed, self-sufficient rural areas.
In the innovation of the textile industry, and even the entire industrial revolution, the greatest impact is still the original traditional craftsmen, especially those who are stubborn and do not know how to adapt, they are the most affected.
Among them, those who are active will keep up with the times, but some people who do not know how to be flexible will sink in this change.
Every change, no matter what it is, will always create countless new opportunities and bury countless people at the same time.
Those craftsmen, if they do not know the changes and do not take the initiative to embrace the industrial age, then the future, waiting for them will be completely invisible to everyone.
As for the rural areas, the Empire's policy is still based on stability!
Steadily increase food production and avoid large-scale famine!
On this basis, increase the additional income of farmers!
As for the specific policy, the empire issued a reclamation order, organized the rural labor force to open up the wasteland, and developed more land.
At the same time, during the slack time, local governments hire a large number of young and strong laborers to build various infrastructures, mainly water conservancy facilities, which can better guarantee grain production and turn wasteland into fertile land, thereby improving the development of local agricultural economy and contributing more agricultural taxes.
On the other hand, it is also to provide an opportunity for ordinary rural young laborers to earn money by doing odd jobs during the slack period, so as to increase the additional income of rural laborers.
In fact, this kind of policy is also to continue to let the rural areas steadily expand agricultural production as the core!
Especially in some major grain-producing areas, maintaining grain output is an important task for local officials, and higher-level officials have even asked local governments to meet grain output targets.
In order to increase grain production, in fact, many local governments are eager to let every rural laborer farm all day long, and they do not even support them to go to other big cities to work in factories to make money.
Well, of course, entering the factory to make money, in fact, is not so good, if you just have no special skills, no strength, go to the big city to work, can only do the most ordinary workers, and this kind of work labor intensity is high, salary income is not high, and the key thing is that the consumption in the city is also high, this money-making salary is at most just to support themselves.
However, this can always feed yourself!
If you have worked for a few years, gained experience, and learned some skills, then the salary will be higher in the future, and it will be possible to support your family at that time.
Therefore, some rural children who are more courageous and active-minded, or poor children whose families have few fields and many people, have successively set their sights on major cities and flocked to the cities to seek a way to survive.
However, these two industries require a large number of laborers, which has led to the contradiction between industry and commerce and agriculture competing for population, which has not appeared on a large scale in the country for the time being, but in the areas and surrounding areas where industry and commerce are developing rapidly.
In July of the 17th year of Xuanping, several enterprises in the Third Industrial Zone asked Feng Ni to see Feng Ni, saying that some of their employees had been detained from Jiaxing Mansion and asked for help from the Huating government.
When Feng Ni asked, he learned that because of the huge number of employees and the average salary they offered, these companies could not find enough cheap workers in Shanghai.
In order to solve the problem of workers, several of their enterprises joined forces and sent people to the neighboring Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province to recruit workers on the spot.
As a result, these employees of the enterprises who went to recruit workers were detained by the government of Jiaxing Prefecture.
As soon as they got the news, these companies hurried to Feng Ni's side for help!
Upon learning of this, Feng Ni was furious!
He finally got the support of Chen Lifu's platform, and then obtained part of the investment, and then took this to apply for a loan, and now the loan has already come down, for the infrastructure of the third industrial zone, and along the river avenue, two north-south avenues were started, and the second phase of the freight terminal project was started.
Many factories in the industrial zone are also rising from the ground, and more places are under intense construction.
This situation made the investors who chose to settle in the 3th industrial zone very happy, although they were mostly fooled into choosing to live in the 3rd industrial zone at that time, but since the infrastructure of the 3rd industrial zone can follow up, then they do not mind investing in the 3rd industrial zone.
The third industrial zone is about to get on the right track, and now is the time to open up the situation, but I didn't expect that the Jiaxing Mansion next door would dare to stumble on him.
They're trying to force him to be ruthless!
He knows that companies can't recruit enough workers!
After all, Feng Ni is not an ordinary traditional official, he is a very typical economic official, he has always been engaged in economic construction, he naturally knows very well what is needed to develop industry and commerce, needs investors, and also needs workers.
In Shanghai, there are actually a lot of workers, hundreds of thousands of workers live in Shanghai, but he also knows that most of these workers themselves have jobs, and many enterprises have opened up to the top level in the country in order to hire a sufficient number of workers.
At present, in the Shanghai area, a worker who does not have any special skills and does not do heavy work can also earn a salary of one yuan and five jiao.
If it is a skilled worker, such as a textile worker with one year of work experience, his salary can generally reach about two yuan.
If there are strong men on the dock who resist the goods, their monthly income can generally reach between three and four yuan.
The salary of low-level technical personnel and management personnel is generally more than 10 yuan.
This kind of salary level, in the whole country, is actually very high!
The burden of this high salary on enterprises is also very heavy, otherwise why would so many enterprises prefer to spend a lot of money to buy a large number of machinery and equipment, because this can produce efficiency and reduce labor costs.
At the same time, many companies like to go to other places to recruit workers directly, so that if they recruit, the salary given is often lower.
This is also the reason why the enterprises in the third industrial zone will organize groups to go to Jiaxing to recruit people.
However, the employees sent by these companies to Jiaxing to recruit people were detained by Jiaxing, which made Feng Ni very angry, why did Jiaxing do this?
In order to reduce labor costs, but also to be able to quickly recruit enough workers, many large enterprises like to go directly to the field to recruit workers.
This kind of thing, people do it reasonably and legally, and it is not to arrest people and sell slaves, etc., why should the government over there detain people?
Feng Ni immediately held a relevant meeting, and then sent someone to Jiaxing to inquire about the relevant situation, whether this was what the people who recruited workers in those companies did to violate discipline and discipline, or whether they had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
However, at this time, the officials in Jiaxing are also working hard!
Li Kaiji, the prefect of Jiaxing, is an official from the former Ming Dynasty, but he was already from the dragon when the Tang Dynasty invaded Jiangxi.
He is a typical traditional official, who does not know much about the development of industry and commerce, but he is extremely good at developing agriculture and mulberry, and it is precisely because of his meritorious service in the development of agriculture in Hunan that he was transferred to Jiaxing and served as the prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture.
Jiaxing Mansion is also regarded as the Jiangnan region in a broad sense, and such a mansion is also a high-class government, so although it is only a flat transfer of the fourth grade, it is still considered to be promoted by half a level.
However, after he took office, he felt that it was even more difficult to be an official in Jiaxing than when he was an official in Hunan, and there were many problems of all kinds.
He is not good at developing industry and commerce, and Jiaxing is just sandwiched between Hangzhou and Songjiang Mansion, which means that both ends are not in tune, and the development of industry is unreliable.
So he could only focus on agriculture, which he was already very good at, but he soon discovered a problem, that is, when he recruited rural labor to try to reclaim more wasteland, he couldn't recruit many people.
After asking carefully, I asked if there were not many people before, but I was told that a few years ago, when recruiting people to organize the wasteland, there were still many people, but in the past four or five years, this manpower has become more and more scarce.
He wondered, why?
