Chapter 837 Ji Zijuan 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 what she had instilled for more than an hour. He would not even think about it without slowly digesting it in three to five days. 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, we need to either find more land suitable for growing food, such as the Dongpan reclamation strategy you launched? Or we need to vigorously promote the development of industry and commerce and build various workshops to attract farmers who have no land. Work, earn 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's popular science, I was still able to sort out some tips from it.
“That’s pretty much what it means.” Feng Ziying nodded.
"But now there is still a big gap in overseas demand for the silks, porcelain, tea, cotton, medicinal materials, and ironware you mentioned. But if we continue to build workshops like this, those overseas, whether it is Nanyang or Western Yi , Japan, Korea, even the Mongolian tribes and Uzbekistan, what is their population and 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 practicing 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 purchase silk, porcelain and tea? Even ordinary people in the Zhou Dynasty couldn't afford these things if they wanted to, right?
"Brother Jun Yu's worry is indeed justified, but I can also say responsibly that for now, our Dazhou area is far from being able to meet the needs of places like Xiyi and Nanyang. Maybe Brother Jun Yu doesn't know How big are we outside the Great Zhou? The combined population of Xiyi and Nanyang may not be less than the population of our 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, if our Zhou Dynasty becomes strong and ordinary people can afford silk, tea and porcelain, we will 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 Guoshi was reluctantly persuaded by Feng Ziying. He could not say that ordinary people would still not be able to afford and use these things decades later. Even if they could not buy and use them casually, they would still be able to hold important events during festivals or weddings and funerals. , 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, and the demand for iron materials will also have a huge growth that we may not have imagined..."
Lian Guoshi can understand this very well. Nowadays, in addition to kitchen knives and plowshares, the whole family of poor people may even have a hatchet shared by several families, and iron pots are broken and repaired over and over again, for no other reason than Iron materials are too expensive. If the problem of too expensive iron materials can be solved, then this demand will also grow tremendously.
The unimaginable huge 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..." Lian The analysis and judgment of national affairs are still very cautious.
"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 in 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 satisfy people,..."
"Yes, potatoes are more important in comparison. Although they are not resistant to storage, their yield is very high, and the yield of sweet potatoes is also high, but they cannot be used as a staple food for a long time. It would be great if it could be mixed with rice, wheat and potatoes. Easy to use,…”
Regarding these words of Feng Ziying, there is not much doubt to practice state affairs. Countless examples have proved that Feng Ziying has always been lighter, and he must say it.
"It seems that you are planning to give it a try after going to Yongping?" Lian Guoshi was very curious, "Isn't it true that 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 feels that Feng Zi is so keen on going to the local area, and it is not entirely for the reasons he mentioned, because this guy The enthusiasm shown really didn'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, such as 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 co-intelligence, 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. , they are just a bunch of waste of military resources, why not recycle them and see if they 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 that someone can 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.
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, it would be absolutely impossible for him to do these.
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 and I said 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 lives in Tianshuijing in Nanxunfang and has to go east. Feng Ziying lives in Fengcheng Hutong and has to go west. The two of them are here. bid farewell.
"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. The more people in the garden agree to discuss and improve these ideas, the more 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 quite understand and approve, maybe some of them don't understand some of them. I don’t agree, but that’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 that Brother Jun Yu can play a role in the future."
This is the fifth update. Brothers, where are your monthly passes?
