Chapter 120: Half-Year-Old Abuse (10)
With only Jiao He's words, he felt that this person was not ordinary, and the person who could say such things was obviously the essence of the first pot of gold in Yidun.
Yidun couldn't make a fortune in Lu back then, so he had to seek advice from Tao Zhugong.
Tao Zhu and Duanmu Ci are basically people of the same era, while Confucius is mostly active in the Lu State, but Duanmu Ci's road to wealth is not learned.
Because Duanmuci is engaged in speculation, buying low and selling high, it needs strong capital support.
However, Tao Zhugong started as a businessman and rarely engaged in speculation, so Yidun couldn't learn Duanmuci's methods, so he had to ask Tao Zhu.
Tao Zhu said that you have to have the first pot of gold first, but you are too poor now, it is better to go to Xihe to engage in animal husbandry. The Jin civil strife was the time when horses were needed, and animal husbandry could multiply.
So Yidun came to Xihe, started by breeding a few horses, and got the first pot of gold with the help of the Jin civil strife and the urgent need for horses.
As a military supply, horses were easily exchanged with the nobility, and then they devoted themselves to the salt industry and the jewelry industry, and eventually became a wealthy man who could compete with Duanmu Ci and Tao Zhu Gong.
Jiao He's meaning is that he hopes to be able to buy some seeds from the ink masters, as well as the cultivation methods of these seeds, so as to develop them. Just like Yidun relied on a few horses to breed back then, the first pot of gold still needs to be operated.
This is a fairly mature idea, Jiao He also said that the ink is beneficial to the world first, this kind of thing can not only benefit, but also benefit the people of the world.
Shiqi said: "How do you know the meaning of the ink one? ”
Jiao He was prepared, and immediately replied: "I go back and forth between Jin and Zheng, Yang Zhu, Liezi and others often give lectures, and there are not many ink people there, but I often hear them criticize the words of the Mo family, so I know. ”
"I am a businessman only for profit. But if I gain, the people of the land of Jin and Zheng will also benefit from planting these new grains, and because they think it is feasible, they go from Taoyi to Peiyi. ”
"Besides, Taoyi, Anyi, Luoyi and other places all have wheat flour mill bean food, and now the price of wheat beans has risen sharply, and it is no longer the food of the untouchables, where would you not know the name of the ink man?"
This is said to be seamless, and there are basically no loopholes. Yang Zhu and the others were already hostile to the Ink Scholars, and the Ink Scholars used the previous opportunity to broadcast their reputations, and it was normal to hear them.
Jiao He said again: "Now in Jindi, who doesn't know about Sangu Jiahe? In the past, Tang Shuyu was promoted and won Jiahe, which shows that although the pearl jade is expensive, it is still not as good as Jiahe. Zhuyu can change cities, and Jiahe can be a marquis, and the benefits of this are unavoidable as a businessman. ”
This matter has also been discussed internally, and he said conveniently: "What you said is reasonable, this is indeed a matter of benefiting the world." It's not impossible to sell new grains. ”
When Jiao He heard this, he was overjoyed, he never expected that the ink master would agree so happily.
He has seen a lot of new things in Peiyi along the way, the golden wheat is all over Pei County, at this time in May, where would there be such a scene here in previous years?
Besides, listening to the conversation between Shi and Wei just now, Jiao He also knew that after planting winter wheat, he should plant soya beans, of course, it is best to plant those Moyu who don't have many seeds, but can it be planted here, can Sanjin plant it? Can the West River be planted?
There are also compost fermentation, the technique of cultivating and fertilizing fields, and so on, which are difficult for ordinary people to explain clearly.
Before coming to Peiyi from Weidi, I thought it would be an extremely difficult task, but I didn't want it to be so easy.
At this time, advanced technology, organization techniques, etc., can rejuvenate the country and destroy the country.
Qu Wuchen's chariot battle, Wu Zixu's construction of the city to change the military system, Fan Li's military reform, Yuenu's sword reform, Chen Yin's teaching of archery, and the change of the public loss class to the warship hook rejection, etc., are all means of using technological superiority to strengthen the country in the short term, and they all rise and fall for a while.
Planting, of course, is a technology.
Maybe some nobles look down on it, but Wu Qi, who guards Xihe, and Li Kui, who presides over the law change, know the difficulty, and it is not something that can be solved with seeds.
Especially with the reform of Wu Qi's conscription system, the improvement of this planting technology is even more important. Unlike the feudal compulsory military system of the blood aristocracy, the conscription system requires a strong economic foundation to support professional soldiers.
It's just that Jiao He really didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, he thought that he still needed to explain his reasoning again.
Little did he know that he would like this new planting technique to spread all over the world.
One is that it can really benefit the world and make the world less hungry; The second is that under this kind of conspiracy, the economic foundation of the blood aristocracy will continue to disintegrate, and the new landlord class and the yeoman peasant class will continue to rise; Three agriculture is the basis of the development of the urban handicraft industry and exchange economy, without which the technological superiority he holds cannot be exchanged for more benefits.
The most important thing is that the faster countries like the Central Plains and the Three Jin Dynasty rise, the sooner the collapse of the Three Jin Dynasty will come, and the Central Plains War, Qi Chu and Qin's containment of the hegemony of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the official separation of the Three Jin Dynasty will be faster.
The more chaotic it is, the greater the chances of the Ink Maker, and it can also give the Ink Artist more time to develop.
Under a stable system, it is too difficult for the ink artist to do things.
It is difficult for him to express his thoughts, so he can only use the rhetoric that this thing can benefit the people of the world to persuade the Mo people to obtain support and consent.
Whether it's an occasional spy with bad intentions; Or are they businessmen who are just trying to make a fortune, and Shidu is very welcome, and I can't wait for them to spread these new technologies tomorrow.
Without the great development of agriculture, how can there be more urban handicraftsmen who are the backbone of the Mo? And once the new productive forces develop, where will the old relations of production be so easy to gain a foothold? Under the reform and restoration, more people will agree with the morality of the Mo.
He had a plan in his heart, so he and Jiao He first carried the drunk reed back to the accommodation in the township pavilion.
Shi Xian asked: "I have heard that north of the Three Jin Dynasty, the land is already available for sale?" How many people profit from land? ”
Jiao He knew that the Mo Shi was well-informed, and he heard a lot about Shi having two masters who had traveled all over the world before becoming the Mo Shi, so he was not surprised by the news that Shi knew, but said that it was true.
After all, the Sanjin Dynasty was a powerful country at this time, and the commodity economy developed rapidly, basically at the same level as the Taoyi of the Song Kingdom. However, because the land purchase and sale of the Jin State was supported by the state's change of law, the land issue was different from that of the Song State.
Jiao He said: "Although there are transactions, most of them are debts. The three Jin fixed rents, and there were those who lent money and ate people. When the year is bad, you have to buy and sell land. ”
The earlier the reform, the sooner the land annexation under the well-field system will appear, and although the situation in the Jin Kingdom is not serious, there are already clues.
Mencius once commented on the rent-in-kind system that became popular a few decades later: once there is a famine, the fixed rent is indispensable, so at the end of the year, the rent can not even support his parents.
Not only have the drawbacks of the clan system emerged, but even usury has become extremely popular.
Mencius also said that if the fixed rent encounters a bad year, you need to ask others to borrow usury, which will lead to getting poorer and poorer, and eventually throwing your body into the ravine.
In later generations, Meng Weijun often lent money, and the interest rate became more and more, and the people in Xue Di could not afford to pay the interest, and many of them fled.
Society seems to be still in the old era, but the dawn of the new era has already shown itself in the form of disadvantages.
The one-stop collapse system of feudal society, including fixed rent, debt, borrowing, bankruptcy, and flight, had already appeared at this time, and it had become a major problem in society.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible that only a few decades later, Mencius, Xunzi, and Han Feidu would have mentioned usury and the bankruptcy of small farmers.
Listen to Jiao He say this, but he doesn't care much, this kind of thing will appear when he thinks about it, and he sighs sadly and is meaningless, so it is better to find a way to change it.
He said: "If this is the case, it can be seen that the price of land is not expensive? There are also many people who sell their land in arrears, and they have no way to make a living, so they can only rent servants to earn a living. This is an opportunity to make a profit, and to benefit others. You're asking right. ”
Jiao He hurriedly made a gesture of asking for advice, and talked about the way in which bankrupt peasant households became rich as cheap laborers and as operating landlords.
It is appropriate to say that the Mo people can't control the affairs of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the Mo people can't solve the things like mortgage cannibalism or land annexation, but they can always keep those who have lost their land from starving to death, and they can be regarded as doing righteous deeds.
Jiao He also heard the meaning of suitability, which is nothing more than buying land, planting crops, and exchanging crops for money near cities or rivers.
At the same time, employing peasants who have lost their land and are persecuted by usury and using them as field labor will not only prevent them from starving to death, but also make it possible for them to accumulate wealth.
As for river transportation, it had also formed a scale at this time, and then Qin attacked Chu from Bashu and went down the river, so that "three hundred miles a day"; In the era of King Huai of Chu, the tax-free pass of Ejunqi even indicated that the shipment of duty-free materials could not exceed 150......
All these facts, whether they have or have not yet existed, support the view that it is absolutely profitable to do commercial agricultural production in places where it is convenient to transport them by rivers in Sanjin, or directly near the city.
But the premise is to have a high level of cultivation technology.
One was bent on sending out the changes in cultivation technology as soon as possible, so that in the future there would be enough people to afford to sell iron tools on a large scale, and at the same time sell them at a high price and develop the handicraft industry.
The other was originally to spy on Wu Qi, Li Kui and others thought that this was a secret matter, and the ink master would regard it as a treasure and would not easily show people's harvest techniques.
The two sides hit it off.
Jiao He praised the idea of Shi, and agreed with the internal connection of bankruptcy, joint efforts, and management, and hated to remember all these words so that he could go back and tell them.
Shi Ze said: "It's just that the matter of harvesting seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult. If there is no water in rice, how can it be harvested? If wheat is frosty, will it not be hungry? Besides, if the Moji directly sells you new grain seeds such as Moyu, and you can't plant them, how can you benefit the world? Even if it's you, isn't it hard to lose money? ”
Jiao Hexin said that I just want to know the details, but you just say it.
Shi explained the morality again, and in Jiao He's continuous praise, Shi said: "The ink master has written the art of grain on the straw. However, everything that can be told has to be taught to the children of the village school, but fortunately there are not many words in it...... The ink writer has dictionaries such as scriptures, and there are sentences that read punctuation, as long as the characters are recognized, there will be no ambiguity. ”
"There are a lot of people like you...... I think you might as well live here and learn the word first? It is also good to observe these local harvest methods, and go back to grow and get rich in the future, and also spread the ...... the world."
Jiao He was stunned, and asked for a while: "Stay and learn words?" ”
