Ji Zi Volume Chapter 31: Persuasion, Helper (Fifth update, please vote!)
Feng Ziying tried her best to use simple and easy-to-understand words to make Lian Guo Shi understand. Even so, Feng Ziying also knew that Lian Guo Shi was probably confused by her indoctrination for more than an hour. If he didn't digest it slowly in three to five days, he wouldn't understand it at all.
Want to figure it out.
The simple production values of this era met the political economic theory that transcended the times, and this is the result.
"Ziying, according to you, if we want to simplify the complex and remove some details that can be ignored for the time being, the key issues are actually two points. Well, the problems of people and money must be brought together. One is to solve the growing problem of
To solve the problem of making a living for the population, either we need to find more land suitable for growing food, such as the reclamation strategy you launched in Dongpan? Or we need to vigorously promote the development of industry and commerce and build various workshops to attract farmers who have no land.
Working, earning money by working in the workshop to support the family's livelihood..."
I have to say that I still have some skills in practicing national affairs. Although I was stuffed and deceived by Feng Ziying for a while, I was still able to sort out some tips from it.
"That's pretty much what it means." Feng Ziying nodded.
"But now the silk, porcelain, tea, cotton, medicinal materials, and ironware you mentioned still have a big gap in overseas demand. But if we continue to build workshops like this, those overseas, whether it is Nanyang or Xiyi,
, Japan, Korea, or even the Mongolian tribes and Uszang, how big their population is, how many people can afford to buy these things, is there such a big demand? This kind of growth may have an end.
Bar?"
Lian Guoshi raised his own questions. He agreed with many of what Feng Ziying said, but he also had his own persistence and doubts.
Feng Ziying was almost confused by the practice of state affairs, so don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Perhaps they are not as forward-looking and broad-minded as I am, and perhaps they do not have the hundreds of years of economic development theoretical concepts they have brought with me, but their knowledge of the world is much better than my own.
As Lian Guoshi said, are Nanyang, Western Yi, Japan and Korea so wealthy that they can endlessly buy silk, porcelain and tea? Even ordinary people in the Zhou Dynasty? It is not possible to buy these things if they want to.
Affordable, right?
"Brother Jun Yu's worry is indeed justified, but I can responsibly say that for now, our Dazhou area is far from being able to meet the needs of Xiyi and Nanyang. Maybe Brother Jun Yu doesn't know that.
How big are we beyond the Great Zhou? The combined population of Xiyi and Nanyang may not be less than our population of the Great Zhou, and the land is much larger than ours, so within a certain period of time? We don't need to worry about this? Of course Jun
Brother Yu is worried that it may be a problem in twenty or thirty years, but as Brother Jun Yu said, what if our Zhou Dynasty becomes strong? If ordinary people can afford silk, tea and porcelain, what will happen to us?
Why worry about the products produced in these workshops not being sold?"
Feng Ziying used future domestic demand to successfully draw back this pie.
Lian Guo Shi was reluctantly persuaded by Feng Ziying? He couldn't say that ordinary people would still not be able to afford and use these things decades later? Even if it was impossible to buy and use them casually? But when it came to festivals or weddings and funerals, big events
When? Can I buy and use it?
"In addition, I can explain Brother Jun Yu's worries from another angle." Feng Ziying continued: "With the growth of population in the future, the population base of the entire Zhou Dynasty will also expand greatly. Also, with the increase of the imperial court,
In the face of increasing external threats, external defense and transportation will be improved, such as shipbuilding and gun and artillery manufacturing? The demand for iron materials will also have a huge growth that we may not have imagined..."
This is quite understandable to practicing state affairs. Nowadays, the whole family of poor people only has kitchen knives and plowshares. Even the hatchets may be shared by several families, and the iron pots are broken and repaired over and over again. There is no other reason.
Iron materials are too expensive? If the problem of iron materials being too expensive can be solved, then this demand will also see a huge increase.
The unimaginable hugeness mentioned by Feng Ziying probably refers to the military demand, such as fire cannons and plate armor, and even the demand for cannon casting in the naval fleet. With the current iron production in Da Zhou,
Ability is indeed far from enough.
"Ziying, I roughly understand this, but I still feel that relying on this kind of workshop alone to absorb landless or land-deficient households may not be feasible. The key is to have enough land and rice..."
I am still very cautious in my analysis and judgment of state affairs.
"Brother Jun Yu is right about this, but where does the land come from? Apart from reclamation, basically all the good fields and land now have owners, either Annan or Nanyang, and maybe some others, but this doesn't mean
It does not mean that there is no other way. Rice and wheat can only be planted on flat land, and the weather requirements are also high, but there are some new things introduced from the Western Yi that can also feed people..."
After hearing what Feng Ziying said, Lian Guoshi understood, "Are you talking about sweet potatoes and potatoes? What Xu Guangqi has been trying?"
"Yes, potatoes are more important in comparison. Although they are not storage-resistant, they have a high yield. Sweet potatoes also have a high yield, but they cannot be used as a staple food for a long time. It would be great if they could be mixed with rice, wheat and potatoes.
Easy to use,…”
Regarding these words of Feng Ziying, there is not much doubt in practicing state affairs. Numerous examples have proved that Feng Ziying has always spoken carefully and must be true to her words.
"It seems that you plan to give it a try after going to Yongping?" Lian Guoshi was very curious, "Isn't this the reason why you, a colleague, are going specifically for this?"
As the deputy prefect, Tongzhi can basically take care of everything, but persuading farmers is definitely not his main responsibility. However, Lian Guoshi always felt that Feng Zi was so keen to go to the local area, and it was not entirely for the reasons he mentioned, because this guy
The enthusiasm shown really doesn't feel like being forced out of Beijing.
"Hey, brother Jun Yu, you will know in the future. It is actually quite interesting to try some new things, like these potatoes and sweet potatoes. In fact, Mr. Xu has already successfully tested it at Tianjin Wei, but it has always been difficult for others to understand.
Acceptance is difficult to push away, which makes Mr. Xu very disappointed. In addition to the common people's incomprehension and disbelief, what is more important is the lack of support or distrust of the local government. Since my younger brother went to Yongping Mansion, he is also a fellow acquaintance of the organization.
It’s okay to give it a try with a group of people, and you should know that to the north of Yongping Prefecture are the Shanhaiwei, Funingwei and Xingzhou Youtunwei in Ji Town. The area of the army camp is not small, so it is just right to give it a try.
.”
Only then did Lian Guoshi realize that he had the father of the Governor of Ji Liao. This Ji Town was under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of Ji Liao. In the past, Yongping Mansion and the guards in Ji Town in the north had always had a bad relationship. Now this problem
It was solved easily and it was no longer a problem at all.
"I don't know the situation of Shanhaiwei and Funingwei, but I know that there are a lot of garrison troops in Xingzhou and they are basically reduced to civilian households. I only say that the land is infertile and the weather is bad, and the garrison troops are basically not included in daily drills.
, it’s just a bunch of waste of military resources, it’s better to recycle the waste and see if it can be used.”
Lian Guoshi took a deep look at Feng Ziying and said, "Ziying, have you planned all this a long time ago? No wonder you don't even want to go to places like Ningbo, Nanyang and Huangzhou that are much better than Yongping.
, this is going with a purpose.”
"Well, what Brother Jun Yu said is almost the same. Ever since I made up my mind to go somewhere, I have been thinking about it. I can only choose Beidi. So where to choose Beidi, it is natural to take both public and private considerations into account. Zhuo Jing has
Even though I am pregnant, I don’t want to be too far away so I can have someone to take care of me, so I made some preparations and considerations in advance..."
Feng Ziying did not deny that there was no need to hide anything in Lian Guo Shi. He felt that the brainwashing he had given Lian Guo Shi today should have had a considerable effect. At least Lian Guo Shi had begun to think according to many of the things he had introduced.
, to ask questions and take the initiative to find answers on your own.
Being able to have such a result means that Lian Guoshi accepted these views and began to think of ways to find out the problems and deficiencies, and to improve and make up for them. If he did not agree with them, it would be absolutely impossible for him to do this.
The conversation came to an end, and it took some time to slowly digest and absorb the state affairs. Although he also felt that many of the truths Feng Ziying said today were groundbreaking and unprecedented, he did not think that what Feng Ziying said was unrealistic.
Feng Ziying has used countless facts to prove in the past two or three years that he is completely different from others.
"Ziying, what you said to me today can actually be published in batches in "Internal Reference". I believe that since I can listen to it, many people will definitely realize something.
,…”
Coming out of the official residence and bypassing the Zongren Mansion is East Chang'an Street. Lian Guoshi lived in Tianshuijing in Nanxunfang and was going east. Feng Ziying lived in Fengcheng Hutong and looked at the stream in the distance. The two said goodbye here.
.
"I also have this plan, but I hope that Brother Jun Yu can discuss with me and come up with your own opinions and publish them in "Internal Reference"." Feng Ziying looked at Lian Guo Shi, "One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together is spring.
When the garden is full and more people agree with it and discuss and improve it, these ideas can be better applied in practice."
"Then Ziying, you should have a good talk with Dazhang, Mengzhang, Uncle Fang, Feixiong, and Ke Yao." Lian Guoshi said seriously: "Maybe some of them don't understand and approve, maybe some of them don't understand some of them.
I don’t agree, but it’s not important. The reason is unclear. Brother Yu believes that there can be a more satisfactory solution. Seek common ground while reserving differences.”
Feng Ziying laughed, "I will discuss it with them, but I hope Brother Jun Yu can play a role in the future."
