Plowing in the spring and working in the summer, harvesting in the autumn and storing in the winter, all four are in good time, and the year has passed like this.
  The life of the ancients did not have much fun and highlights. Farming took up at least half of their life. However, with the development of equipment, this time is being compressed, and with the improvement of farming methods, agricultural output is also increasing.
 Less arable land, higher efficiency, more output.
 When the stomach is full, there is enough time and enough goods for consumption. Production determines consumption, and consumption also determines production. The two are prerequisites for each other.
 Without consumption, there is no production. Consumption creates the driving force for production.
 Production, accumulation, expansion of production, continued accumulation
 The emergence of surplus products is the prerequisite for the development of society, and various social systems are based on this.
Yunzai was still working on things. After Zize died, he locked himself in the oil mill for a long time, thinking about something new, and seemed to want to announce it at the Autumn Harvest Conference...
Of course, the Autumn Harvest Conference will come soon...
 …
 Hongzhou, Chucun.
 The autumn harvest is over, and the people of Chu Village gather together again.
There are more than 200 people in the village, and they look very excited. The new production method developed during the spring plowing season has successfully allowed these people to create miracles.
 “What a great harvest, what a great harvest!”
Chu Fang grabbed the grains in the granary. There were so many grains that they could no longer fit them in. They did not prepare a large granary at the beginning because they themselves did not expect such a harvest.
And according to what they learned when they went to the market, other villages were not surprised by the bumper harvest, but the output of Chu Village still surprised people in other villages, because the total output of Chu Village was almost 2% higher than them.
Around ten.
 There are some doubters in the market.
The Chu people in Chu Village were very happy and blew up firecrackers to celebrate this event.
 The questions from other villages gradually spread in factories and markets with the bumper harvest in Chu Village.
“I didn’t think they would change much, but now they look much worse.”
“Why is this happening? Did they pay less public property?”
One of the leaders really couldn’t figure it out, so he went to ask Yuzai, but Yuzai had already expected this.
Yuzai brought a basin of water.
 The leader thought he was being asked to drink, but he was stopped when he was about to take action, and she asked him to stare at the basin of water.
 “Are you enlightened?”
No matter how he looked, the leader could only see an ordinary basin of water. Yuzai then pointed out that the water in the basin was a pool of stagnant water and was not flowing.
“The social system is the same, and the work is the same. Why does Hongzhou have a rule that after working a job for two years, you can find another job to study, and you only need to apply?”
“Repetitive work will gradually make people lose their enthusiasm, and the same goes for farming, so the system will contain goals. The big goal is a sign telling you what to do, while the small goal is a goal that is beneficial to you.”
“People tend to be very motivated when it comes to their own interests. From a time perspective, the shorter the time it takes to achieve this small goal, the better.”
It is not surprising that the contract system in Chu Village, Niu Village, and our own Akagata clan can achieve gratifying results. This is just what should be achieved after all the conditions are met and their enthusiasm is mobilized.
Condition.
 A large amount of grain harvest is attributed to correct farming methods, suitable farming time, advanced farming equipment, and of course the most important thing is the enthusiasm for farming.
 At the time of grain harvest, each village came to hand over public property. Those villages that implemented the new system basically saw a huge increase in grain production. It is not very understandable for people from other villages to return.
 The crops are planted in the same field, the work is done in the same way, and the tools and methods used are the same. Why is there such a big gap after the autumn harvest?
 Because the people’s labor enthusiasm is directly linked to the surplus output of labor results.
 As the saying goes, "If the salary is in place, then who will do the waste?" actually means the same thing.
Water conservancy, fertilizers, farm tools, seeds, natural conditions, and social conditions. When these conditions are similar, maybe a normal job can produce 400 acres, but with a little more effort, it can be increased to 600. One person's improvement is not big.
But the improvement of a village is huge.
 Without accumulation of small streams, it is impossible to form a river or a sea.
 Coupled with the fact that Hongzhou's water conservancy facilities and production conditions have been getting better and better in recent years, within ten years, except for the Houtian clan who suddenly visited early this year, there were basically no other major disasters.
Many things that seem incomprehensible have actually been changing a long time ago. Just like a few years after the grain harvest, there was a rush to open factories, the second-hand goods market also appeared, and the handicraft streets gradually prospered...
…This is all because surplus products have emerged in large quantities, and farmers have freed their time and hands from the land, so they can do small businesses for self-profit.
 Hongzhou has never stopped it, but has always carried out effective control.
"In the past, there were not enough cattle, so several families shared one cow. Later, the wild cattle were domesticated. It has been ten years now, and the breeding of domestic cattle has also expanded. Another batch was snatched from the Jinyun family, and another one was given as a gift from the Central Plains.
Batch, now every household, all the old Hongzhou people, and those who still take farming as their main job, almost have cattle."
 There are still 10,000 or 20,000 cattle, not to mention 100,000, all thanks to the work of agricultural livestock stations and cattle and sheep factories.
Twenty thousand cattle sounds like a lot, and it seemed unbelievable in the tribal era, but Hongzhou is no longer in the tribal era.
And even tribes, or ancient states, tribes in the Western Wilderness, even small tribes have dozens or hundreds of cattle, while those big tribes that spread over thousands of miles have less than ten thousand cattle and sheep.
of.
　　They themselves have cattle and sheep, and their vassals also have cattle and sheep. Their cattle and sheep are theirs, and the vassal's cattle and sheep are still theirs.
 Everyone calls Fat Tiger, everyone is Fat Tiger.
 …
The Autumn Harvest Conference began and ended, and before the party started, the leaders of Hongzhou summarized their work last year and expressed their expectations for work and development in the coming year. They then focused on praising some villages, followed by...
侔Hong received a steel medal at the Wu Qiushao Commendation Ceremony. When his name was called, he was completely stunned.
The leaders of Hongzhou said that you have made contributions, so they will issue you a medal. This is the latest steel medal. First of all, thank you for your hard work for Hongzhou over the past ten years...
 Throwing out a bunch of words of praise, he was shocked to the point of being confused and in a trance...
Medals, there were things similar to medals in ancient China, but they were similar rather than the same. The most similar thing was the Alchemy Iron Coupon. This thing was not only the proof of the founding hero, but also a resurrection coin. Of course, it seems that you got this thing.
Everyone has been banned by the official account of the old Liu family...
 Medal rewards, this is the latest reward system customized by Yanzai. Just like what was said before, it gives people the motivation to make progress, not only materially, but also spiritually.
 It is human nature to love vanity, especially among ancient Chinese people, who prefer reputation.
Needless to say, leaving a name in history is one of the highest dreams of the ancients. However, if one had a choice at that time, no one would want to be the latter.
 But you have to see if this is true vanity or flattery.
As the latest product of Hongzhou, steel and paper must be seen by the public as having more than just fighting enemies and writing self-criticisms.
A steel medal does not need to be made as hard as a weapon, but it is still stronger than copper and less susceptible to rust, and a paper scroll simply writes the merits of the person who received the medal.
  It is the so-called "certificate of honor".
The patterns of each medal are different. The medal for agricultural production is a sickle and rice, the medal for textile industry is wavy silk, the medal for gathering industry is a pickaxe and a saw, and the medal for metallurgy is two crossed hammers with fire patterns around them...
 And animal husbandry...
 There were some problems when Yu Zai was making the animal husbandry medal.
I originally wanted to use cattle. After all, cattle are an important means of production in the current era, but considering that the essence of animal husbandry is simply animal breeding. Pigs are a stable source of meat and cattle cannot be eaten, so I thought about it and decided to use dolphins.
The image was printed on it.
 During this process, the cadres of the oil mill were protested by a goat courier.
Because he works express delivery, he often gets first-hand news, so he catches the wind and comes here.
A certain tallest goat was very angry and said that he had paid too much for this land. Why did he often have tears in his eyes? It was not just because he saw the tribe sharpening their knives... but also because of his feelings for this land.
The land is the depth of love!
Long live the lamb!
However, considering that there were too few sheep in Hongzhou, which were out of proportion to the number of cattle and pigs, we did not adopt Sheep Tou’s suggestion. We just said that we could consider it when there is a collective medal.
Although Lao Zi is not willing to give in, it’s okay, as long as he has a chance to be printed on the medal.
 The collective medal is also a medal.
 But after Lao Zi left, someone in the oil shop said that if Lao Zi's head was printed on the medal, the recipient of the medal might think it was a humiliation, right?
To be continued...
