Yesterday's chapter was very valuable. Uncle Guan used 8,000 words to basically explain Yang Hao's new policies, the struggles within the forces, and the arrangements for Zhou Nuying.
From the perspective of Yang Hao’s New Deal, it includes aspects such as farming, water conservancy, animal husbandry, mining, industry and commerce, and the patent system.
In terms of farming, the MM recommendations were generally adopted and the household responsibility system was established. However, the means of production such as "farm tools, cattle, and improved seeds" were provided by the wealthy families who moved here.
Farmers only need to pay a fixed amount of rent. From this point of view, it seems that the wealthy families are suffering. In fact, this is not the case. He Qidao said, "This piece of land was bought by the Long family from Suzhou...
That piece of land belongs to the Zhang family in Shazhou." These families were either defeated by Yang Hao or relied on Yang Hao's power to return to the political arena. Now that Yang Hao has issued a new policy, they must follow closely.
The key is to please Yang Hao, so how can we calculate the little profit? If the crops are divided according to the harvest, and it cannot stimulate the enthusiasm of the farmers, they may not be able to harvest more than they are now.
In terms of water conservancy, it seems that the aristocratic families currently pay for it. "The Long family naturally pays for the construction of waterways and dams themselves." However, there are always some places that others cannot control, and Yang Hao himself has to pay for them.
Part. In fact, farmland water conservancy construction has always been a key point, which has a huge impact on food production and people's livelihood and contentment. However, one disadvantage of this project is that it often has slow results, huge costs, and is not easy to achieve political achievements.
, often ignored by bureaucrats of all dynasties, so Yang Hao still needs to work harder in these aspects, issue more edicts, and urge officials from various places to handle them.
The arrangements for animal husbandry and party affairs among the Qiang people in Hengshan are roughly as follows -
The narrow grassland area west of Hengshan and east of the ancient Great Wall is divided into nine areas, eight of which are allocated to the Dangxiang Eight Tribes for grazing, and the other area is allocated to the Hengshan garrison for farming and raising military horses. As for the Hengshan Qiang, they rely on the mountains to eat, except for mining.
Medicine, hunting, raising pigs and sheep, setting up forays and trades with Song and Liao countries, and then mining. Attracting a large number of their young people to engage in mining is also a good way to restrain them.
Generally speaking, there is nothing difficult to understand in the above content. Only the mining section needs some explanation. Hengshan Qiang are mostly uncivilized people, and they are often gathered by blood relatives and tribes. Their young and strong people are attracted to engage in mining.
The industry is undoubtedly breaking up the big family and tribal structure, and gradually allowing them to establish their own small families. At the same time, Han people can also be inserted into the mining industry, and they can gradually penetrate places where sand could not be mixed in before.
Go in. When a blind tribal leader really wants to rebel, he will find that his tribesmen are scattered in various mining areas, and they all have families, houses and pigs, and they receive wages from Yang Hao on a regular basis -
-Who will rebel with him?
What makes Yang Hao's eyes brighter is his patent protection system.
"What are you talking about... patent protection? This is really unreasonable. Those craftsmen are not the slaves of that Hu merchant. I paid a big price and they are willing to work for me. You agree with me. Who cares? From ancient times to the present,
Who has ever heard of a patent? Isn’t it obvious that someone is cheating?”
There are roughly two reasons why Yang Hao is launching patent protection now. The first is that Yang Hao is the founding emperor and has high prestige and no constraints, so he can implement it smoothly. The second is related to population.
Let me give you an example. For example, if I want to wash dishes at home, I will never buy a dishwasher because there are three people in the family, two of them are always on business trips, there is a canteen downstairs, and there is a KFC outside, so I rarely cook at home.
I only have two bowls and one pair of chopsticks when I cook occasionally. Buying a dishwasher is just a waste. In terms of cost and benefit, it’s not worth it, so I won’t buy it.
In the northwest of Yang Hao, the population is relatively small and manpower is scarce - if at this time, I invent some mop or shower head, it can save a lot of time doing housework, I believe many people will be willing to buy it. But if
There is a large population, and the wealthy families are all slaves, who have nothing to do. You invented a simple tool, and you need patent protection. Only you can sell it - that is a monopoly, and it will obviously be very expensive. Then they might as well use manpower to squat.
Just wipe the ground slowly, why bother to buy your stuff? As for advanced farm tools, etc., this is the truth, so everything depends on the number of people and the number of people. When the population is large, people are worthless.
If something can save manpower, naturally no one will care about it.
The mop I mentioned just now is actually a joke. No matter how good a mop is, it is still a mop. It is very easy to copy and it is impossible to determine whether it has infringed the patent. This is not the case with glassware. The process is very complicated. Who can get it?
It is clear at a glance who can't take it out, so it is naturally very necessary to protect it, and it can also encourage people to invest a lot of money in research on these things.
After talking about the New Deal, internal struggles, planting, releasing and accepting people are actually what any powerful minister will do, and there is no point in talking about it. As for Xiao Zhou finally achieving enlightenment, I think she has probably given birth, otherwise it would be quite
If you go through the process of getting a concubine with a big belly, firstly, it will not look good, and secondly, you will lack physical strength. With Yang Hao's compassion, it should not be possible.
