Several newly established farms in Jiangbei are more like factories than farms.
Serfs more often completed a certain work process according to the work requirements of Jiangyin City.
Drilling an eye means making an eye; digging a hole means digging a hole; lighting a fire means lighting a fire...
All farming activities have been broken down into more than 100 and close to 200 operating procedures, making it easier for the newly illiterate "managers" in Jiangyin to adapt.
For those intellectuals who have just emerged from the shackles of the old system and have been rubbed back by County Magistrate Li, it is easier to manage the senior villagers of Baisha Village who have just become illiterate.
As for the serfs, they are just screws. When the farm sends an order to dig a ditch, and the planned land is seriously hardened, then the work must be started according to the farm's allocation.
First, the blast hole is drilled, then the bamboo tube filled with black powder is inserted, and finally it is detonated.
Blasting is a complete operation project. Before that, you may need to survey, draw lines, etc., and you may use lime to mark the location of the blastholes. This is also a complete operation project.
After the blasting was completed, earth excavation became another work project. At this time, a team and team management method was formed.
The Six Kingdoms, Britain, Chao Kingdom and other countries have their own management methods, but in Jiangyin, there is only Li Jie's method.
Because the two armed systems of Crocodile Man and Yongfu are managed in this way.
For some Crocodiles and Yongfu who have transferred jobs, they are more familiar with the teams and teams. From the name to the organization to the management model, they are all familiar with it and it is easy to get started.
As for intellectuals from small countries, they may be a little awkward, but they are intellectuals after all, and their ability to adapt is naturally much stronger than that of the crocodile man and the brave man who have just become blind.
You know, a prince and grandson in his twenties like Gongzi Ba may have received high-end education for more than ten years before he turned twenty.
This is why Gongziba may be a little ugly in appearance, but his professional skills are quite strong.
Whether it's driving a horse or riding a horse, drawing a bow and archery, writing official documents, translating documents, trade and economics, administration... you can get started with everything.
Because for people in this era to take out a project alone, at least entry-level nobles can learn it.
At a time when the cost of education is extremely high, it would be very difficult for Li Jie to build a very mature team of bureaucrats.
However, it is not a big problem to pull out a team of hybrid and semi-mature bureaucrats.
The blind crocodile man, the brave man, and even the "Baisha" elite who were the first to kneel down and lick him can all become the backbone of this team.
The traditional nobles such as Shang Wuji and Gongziba from outside are responsible for adapting and polishing. As for the final packaging... no packaging is required!
Because they are Wu people, the Wu people are barbaric and known to the world.
No matter how treacherous and unethical things Li Jie did, the princes of the Central Plains would not be surprised, but they would not think there was anything wrong with him.
So when the entire Jiangyin city dismantled agricultural production into more than 100 and nearly 200 processes, the nobles in the Wu Kingdom couldn't understand it at all, and there were countless scoffers. However, there were also top elites who felt there was something wrong, but they couldn't say no.
Come up with a reason.
In the traditional model of the old era, serfs' work efficiency was extremely low. Under Jiangyin's strange system, the serfs themselves may not be efficient, but because the processes are split and eased, the overall efficiency is greatly improved.
And Li Jie gave him a hope of leaving his country, and this hope was quite big. This made people who were not top nobles often have no attachment or reluctance to their former hometown.
In Jiangyin, you also have the opportunity to realize your own life value, and the probability is much higher than among the princes of the Central Plains.
A typical case is the birth of richer and freer small farming families. As for those small farmers, the serfs did not have any wishful thinking.
It's just that in Jiangyin-eup, even small farming families can only rely on stone farm tools unless they borrow "public" iron farm tools from Jiangyin-eup. The wear and tear of farm tools is obviously much higher, but as long as they borrow "public" farm tools, seeds
, livestock and other production factors, then small farmers will still be small farmers within two or three generations.
Unlike the Gusu Wangji area, Li Jie allowed the barbarians under his rule to open up wasteland.
But every inch of wasteland belongs to Jiang Yinzi, a fierce man ordered by the king. The ownership of the cultivated land still belongs to Li Jie. What the barbarians get is only the right to use it.
Moreover, ordinary savages do not have the strength to exploit wasteland because they do not have control over all the production factors of agricultural activities.
Even though farm tools, seeds, livestock, etc. were borrowed, and Jiangyin City also provided policy support, more than 90% of the savages did not understand how to farm.
One day, hundreds of thousands of savages could stare at him.
Before the rise of Li Jie, "Baisha" wanted to farm, and each "Shaye" had to concentrate its maximum strength and then learn from the Wangji area of Suzhou.
Because the Wangji area has the best agricultural officials, but even if you follow the instructions, you will often be ignorant of agricultural management.
When it rains, whether it is drained or not, a mistake may cause the rice to bloom but not bear fruit.
As for the usual strong winds, hail, and heavy rainfall, harvest failures abound.
This is also the reason why although there are many savages, in King Wu's place, they can't even be called "rabble".
The strongest "Shaye" back then was Black Jiaosha, but Black Jiaosha was at its strongest when it gathered more than 2,000 people. At this point, it was not even qualified to enter Gusu to pay tribute to King Gouchen of Wu.
.
The hardships can be clearly felt if you take a brief look at it from the side.
It wasn't until the beautiful Canniang "White Sand" picked up Li Jie that everything changed drastically.
This is the reason why Shang Wuji wanted to invest in Li Jie when he first saw him. Being able to run "Shaye" in an "orderly" manner is a talent beyond imagination.
You must know that the vast majority of city lords may not be able to manage their one-third of an acre in an orderly manner.
And Li Jie not only did it, he also dominated "Baisha".
This is an account, a very simple arithmetic problem. "Baisha" has a labor force with great potential. Of course, in Shang Wuji's eyes, savages are not useful people at all. But Li Jie can turn decay into magic, which makes it big
Are not the same.
I think back then, Shang Wuji used "aspirations" and "Huagai" to look at Li Jie's future, because he saw the difference.
In terms of talent, Shang Wuji has extraordinary abilities and is the top talent among the Yunyan clan.
However, whether you are an elite or a genius, having talent does not mean you can become a leader. Shang Wuji has self-awareness and always pays attention to "know yourself and the enemy" in his actions. If he realizes that his own ability is not enough to lead the family forward bravely, then Shang Wuji will be decisive
Looking for leaders worthy of dragging the family forward.
Li Jie appeared at the right place at the right time, Baisha Village was so close to Yanling, and Shang Wuji made a prompt decision. So far, it has been an extremely perfect operation.
After Shang Wuji established his own family, the momentum of the Yinxiang Shang clan obviously surpassed that of the Yanling Shang clan. As for the "Yunyan clan", Shang Wuji completely forgot about it.
Just looking at the size of the land controlled by the Yinxiang Shang family, Shang Wuji and his sister Shang Xiaomei control nearly 200,000 acres of land. These lands are distributed on both sides of the river, and most of them are swamps and wasteland.
.
With the great development of Jiangyin City, the continuous development of these lands has gradually shown its value.
Even if the yield per mu is only 100 kilograms or 80 kilograms, this is enough to support the Yinxiang Shang family to become "authentic".
The authentic Shang sect is in Yinxiang, not Yanling. This trend cannot be changed.
Because it is impossible for the Yanling Shang clan to obtain more land from Jiangyin City, their upper limit is here, but Li Jie, as Shang Wuji saw, has unlimited possibilities.
The annexation of Pheasant and Luyi was not in name only, but in fact it was controlled by Li Jie.
Others may not be able to develop the vast area in Jiangbei, but for Li Jie and Jiangyin City, it is not inconceivable to create tens of thousands of acres of rice fields produced by Boyou in a short period of time.
Elites above the crocodile squad leader level have exerted amazing energy in different fields.
Take Shadong as an example. He has rich experience in surveying and mapping. So when measuring land in Jiangbei to plan ditches, there will be no situation where water diversion fails due to poor terrain after ditch excavation.
Starting from Yangkou Dazun, relying on Hangou, Pheasant River, and large and small Zepi, the land in the entire Jiangbei region is still barren and is not worth mentioning compared to Jiangnan. However, under the planning of large farms, the use of
With a small amount of labor, farming operations that originally required dozens or hundreds of times of manpower were accomplished.
The various large farms surrounding Jiangyin City not only have mature cattle domestication, but also the training and use of new agricultural tools. No matter how low the serfs' desire to work is, the total output derived from the overall efficiency is higher than that of this era.
Small farmers are much stronger.
And this kind of development is quite stable. Whether it is Jiangyin City or "Baisha", if they want to change their living environment and even social status, Jiangyin City Li Jie is their only channel.
Of course, you can also achieve your wish by betraying Li Jie, but the cost is extremely high and there are almost no people to sell to.
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Li Jieming's biggest supporter is Wu Wang Gouchen himself.
At the same time, in terms of technology distribution, Jiangyin City controls almost all "high-end" products, such as gunpowder production, a large number of ball mills and high-quality grinding discs, all of which are actually near Baisha Village.
Institutions for training crocodile men and brave men are all set up in Baeksha Village. In addition, the "high-yielding fields" are originally in Baeksha Village. Any kind of operation in Jiangyin City cannot go around the core of Jiangyin City.
Large farms in the north of the Yangtze River were opening up wasteland. Before the gunpowder from the south of the Yangtze River arrived, they could only operate in the most primitive way. They watered the hardened land and waited until the water and soil were mixed to make the land soft before starting to dig.
Most of the time, only a very shallow surface layer can be excavated, because there is a harder soil layer underneath the hardened soil.
Even if some crazy careerists are determined to part ways with Li Jie and mobilize a large amount of manpower to excavate and transform the land, how to make the land fertile after the initial transformation is another big problem.
Jiangyin has a preliminary sanitation management system, with specialized departments managing just the collection of human and animal manure.
As for why we need to pay attention to hygiene and why we need to collect human and animal manure, there are only a small number of elites who understand this.
As for the serfs, I don’t understand them at all.
After breaking away from the Jiangyin-eup system, it is impossible to be as mandatory as Jiangyin-eup in the management of serfs, and then think about where the benefits will be after management.
This is interlocking, one body with two sides, one body with many sides.
Faced with thankless tasks, most careerists with a brain will give up and resign themselves to their fate, because when their ambitions cannot be realized, the biggest benefit is obviously to follow Li Jie and earn a living.
As Li Jie purified more sulfur from the hot spring area, the development progress of major farms in Jiangbei has obviously entered a new rhythm.
This obviously attracted the attention of a large number of powerful people in Wu State, but in the end they were still confused. As Jia Yi reported to the old monster, Li Jie was farming and raising pigs, nothing more.
The actual situation is that in order to cope with the unexpected situation that the young master has returned, Li Jie used intense labor to complete the training of a new batch of brave men.
Since Jiangyin City no longer lacks a population, the first requirement for Yongfu's expansion is not the Yongfu's combat effectiveness, but the improvement of his organization.
As long as the new batch of brave men can execute orders quickly and effectively, and their completion is up to standard, then even if they are directly dragged onto the battlefield and fought two or three times, they can easily complete their transformation.
There is no need to bother like Li Jie before. Before, Li Jie was short of major generals and had no choice but to "keep improving".
Although it is satisfying to defeat more with less often, for Li Jie, it is the most labor-saving thing for Li Jie to fight in groups and beat more with less.
Compared with the previous ones, the number of brave men trained by Li Jie in various farms in Jiangbei has exceeded 3,000.
And these three thousand brave men didn't cost Li Jie any brain cells at all, they only cost him money.
Starting from the large-scale project of Jiangbei Agricultural Reclamation Development, money has been thrown at the entire process. Anything that can achieve output by just throwing money at it is completely out of the question.
Li Jie is not in a hurry at the moment. He doesn't care when the old monster burps. With his current strength, if he raids the blasting operation in Gusu, he might be able to defeat Gusu in a night battle, but it's just meaningless.
There are many big nobles in the Wu Kingdom, and they are the main force that controls the large population of the Wu Kingdom. It is these big nobles. It is easy to kill Gusu, and it is even easy to kill the old monster Gou Chen, but what happens next is a helpless compromise.
When County Magistrate Li was the foreman, he always compromised along the way. Now that he "dominates one side", if he continues to compromise, he is still a fool.
An An's heart was growing weak, and County Magistrate Li, who was waiting for an opportunity, finally got a very subtle opportunity, although he didn't know whether it was an opportunity or not.
Travelers from the north came with news that there was rebellion in Xu State, and the young master had stopped in Xu State!
