In 1844, in the small town of Rushdale in Caeshire in northern England, after a failed strike by textile workers demanding an increase in wages, 28 workers formed a consumer cooperative in order to save themselves, named the Rockdale Fair Pioneer Consumer Cooperative. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis was not the first cooperative in the world, but it was the first to establish the principles of what would become cooperative. Most of the later cooperatives started with this, and the organizing principle of the cooperatives was called the "Rushdale principle". Since then, cooperatives of all kinds have quickly sprung up all over the world.

As a grassroots worker who often deals with various agricultural machinery cooperatives and cash crop planting cooperatives in rural areas, Xu Ping has been trained in the theory and history of cooperatives, and most of these contents can still be remembered.

In Xu Ping's previous life, there were three largest cooperative organizations in the world: the first is the National Cooperative Union of India with 170 million people, the second is the China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives with 160 million people, and the third is the National Cooperative Business Association of the United States with 150 million people. The two most populous countries, one with the most developed business economy, account for the top three.

There is no way around it, because small farmers and small craftsmen are inherently too vulnerable to the tide of commerce, and if they are not allowed to defend themselves in this way, they will have to take up arms to fight for their right to exist.

With the knowledge of the previous life, Xu Ping must take necessary measures against the impact of the commodity economy, otherwise he will be irresponsible, he will do bad things with good intentions, and if he doesn't do it well, he will become a demon in this world.

Just as corporations are tailor-made for commercial capital, cooperatives are tailor-made for small producers, and only when the two are developed in harmony can the damage to society be minimized. Xu Ping opened a floodgate, leading to the flood of the commodity economy, and then he had to build another dam to prevent the flood from raging everywhere.

Most of the cooperatives that were spontaneously organized in previous lives were consumer cooperatives, and the poor united to tide over the difficulties. Later, consumer cooperatives slowly evolved into production and operation cooperatives, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the United States and the credit cooperatives in Germany are typical of this. Cooperatives in Asia, including China, are more official.

What Xu Ping wants to do now is naturally to start with production-oriented cooperatives, one is Tong Qilang's kiln, and the other is Jiang Dayou's tenant. Let the hired workers and farmers organize against unforeseen risks.

The night was already dark, and a cool breeze blew in through the windows, taking away the heat of the day.

Xu Ping picked up the pen and wrote a reply to Zhao Yan. It is recommended that he take a cautious attitude towards both the small iron money and the prosperity of the private trade, and would rather wait slowly than cause trouble and leave trouble. In particular, we should pay attention to the remote mountainous villages, and don't just focus on the prefectures and counties, because the chaos always starts from the corners that you don't pay attention to.

After writing the reply letter, Xu Ping still felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he spread out a piece of paper again and began to list the principles of cooperatives.

Broadly speaking, cooperatives are distinguished from business organizations such as corporations, and there are only a few general principles. The first is the principle of voluntariness, membership is voluntary, it is not allowed to set thresholds, and it cannot become a tool for anyone to control profits. Freedom to withdraw from the society, and no excuse can be used to prevent the person who participates in the society from withdrawing from the society. The second is the principle of equality and democracy, the status of the members of the communion is equal, and the management is one person, one vote, and no de facto inequality can be created on the basis of such reasons as the capital of the shares, the level of ability, and the time of joining the society, and the power cannot be concentrated in a small number of people for any reason. Third, the income of cooperatives should be distributed in a reasonable way, not according to shares, nor according to work, and the principle of fairness should be followed as much as possible. Cooperatives are organizations of mutual aid and cooperation, and should not be used to reflect income disparities, but should reflect the nature of mutual aid as much as possible. Historically, consumer cooperatives distributed surpluses according to the turnover of their members, and later cooperatives have been more complex.

After writing, Xu Ping put down the pen and let out a sigh of relief.

It is only today that the economic reform line that I have planned for this era has basically been outlined. These ideas may not necessarily be perfect, but the big principles should not be wrong. As long as we slowly improve when we implement it, we can always let new things slowly infiltrate the world and form a new society.

Early the next morning, Xu Ping washed up, stepped out of the door and went to the courtyard, looking at Dongfang stretching his waist. It's still a free day in the local area, where it's like when I'm in the capital, I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the morning court, no matter how windy or rainy no one stops. I don't know what those ministers who are in the capital are trying to do, and they won't have any trouble after one or two decades like this?

Anyway, Xu Ping can't figure it out, what motivation can make people get up early and be greedy for darkness like that?

Liu Xiaoyi took breakfast and gave it to Xu Ping, cleaned it up and asked, "Junhou, I won't go to the Yellow River today, I don't know if there are any other instructions?" ”

"No, what's the matter with you?"

"I don't have it, but since dawn, Li Tongju has come to see it, as if he has something to find the marquis."

"Oh, then you tell him to wait a little longer, I have something to do. By the way, let him come over at noon. ”

Liu Xiaoyi promised and went out.

Xu Ping sat down on the chair, took out the content he had listed last night, and thought about it again.

Li Shenneng proposed the Qingmiao loan at this time, and he has never heard of other officials discussing it, so it can be seen that he is likely to be the person who inspired Wang Anshi to implement the "Qingmiao Law" in history, and such a person cannot be a mediocre person. Xu Ping should cherish this opportunity, it is not easy to meet such a person to push his own ideas.

It's normal to have some whims once in a while, and most people have such moments. But it is not possible for anyone to actually implement these ideas and turn them into practical policies. Li Shen has this ability, Xu Ping wants to try his best to explain his ideas to him, win his support from the bottom of his heart, borrow his strength to really implement his ideas, and accumulate valuable experience.

With the right people to work with your ideas, it's a rare opportunity.

But the more you talk to such people, the more you have to think about it as much as possible. They have their own gaps in their hearts, and they will not easily accept other people's theories, even if they don't say it on their faces, they will have doubts in their hearts. And once you hesitate in your heart, you will inevitably do your best and you will be discounted.

Xu Ping must ensure that he will explain his thoughts to Li Shen and explain them thoroughly, and he must also ensure that he will accept it and implement it willingly. Because in the next time, it is impossible for Xu Ping to stare here in Mengzhou.

Xu Ping doesn't need to say too clearly how to do the cooperative, Li Shen has the ability to refine the policy, but he must explain the basic principles clearly, so that Li Shen knows what to grasp. (To be continued.) )
