Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Zhu Di looked at the eager and expectant eyes of the villagers and said with a smile: Go sit down in the yard and talk.

Immediately, a group of people arrived in the yard.

Zhu Di went to wash his hands, while the uncles and aunts each found something to sit on.

There were too many people and the cabin was too cramped.

On the contrary, it is not as open as the yard.

After Zhu Di washed his hands, he turned around and saw that everyone was already seated.

He also followed the example of the villagers, found a thick stick from the firewood pile on the west side of the yard, placed it on the ground, and sat on it.

He looked around and said with a smile: My uncles and aunts were all talking about whether we should wait a little longer and see if the price of food can rise a little more in the future.

Some people are also worried that water seepage in the granary or moisture at the bottom of the granary will cause the grain to become moldy and our grain will become worthless.

“The ideas everyone is talking about must have been encountered in previous years.”

These words instantly resonated with everyone.

No, Fourth Brother, after the autumn harvest last year, I didn't want to sell the grain at a low price, so I decided not to sell it. But in the end, we prevented water seepage but failed to prevent the return of moisture. A lot of grain became moldy. My family has been frugal for a year, so we can Slow down!

Shiro, last year we sold the grain early, but at the end of the year, the price of grain went up, and it went up a lot!

Let's make some money, why is it so difficult!

…

Zhu Di listened patiently to everyone's complaints.

I was very emotional in my heart.

It is really difficult for farmers to make some money.

After hearing various examples, Zhu Di continued: Due to poor storage conditions, our grain can only be sold to the gentry early every year at low prices.

Everyone knows the benefits of building a granary, but we simply can't afford it.

The family background is too thin.

Forget about repairing the granary.

Even building a few mud houses is very difficult for farmers.

One of our families cannot afford to build a granary, but what if several households, or even the whole village, build a granary together?

The power of one farmer is too weak.

But a few households.

If dozens or even dozens of households can be twisted into a rope, there will be great potential!

The human and material resources, if properly operated, can create huge wealth!

No worse than a big landowner or a big country squire!

Uncle Ba and others’ eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth aunt raised her hand and said a little embarrassedly: Silang, if the whole village works together to build a granary, it can indeed be built. New

But how to store food?

The quality of grain varies from household to household. If they are mixed together, how can we distinguish them when selling grain next year?

…

Zhu Di listened patiently.

These are all problems to be encountered in cooperation.

Due to various reasons, each household's grain has different fullness and impurity content. These are all related to the price when sold.

And the people in the village don't have so many bags of food.

Storage is inevitably mixed.

After the fourth aunt finished speaking, Zhu Di smiled and encouraged: The questions raised by the fourth aunt hit the nail on the head.

Uncles, if you have any other questions you can think of, you can ask them.

Don't think it's just a penny-pinching thing, so you're embarrassed to say it.

Now that we have explained these problems thoroughly, we can work together to find a way to solve the problems. Only then will we be able to work together in the future without any grudges.

“Not only are we not afraid of saying ugly things in front of others when we do things, but on the contrary, we want to say all kinds of ugly and ugly things openly and honestly.”

All minor issues and pitfalls were resolved.

Things will go smoothly in the future.

With Zhu Di's encouragement, everyone raised their concerns.

Zhu Di got up, returned to the room, took a pen and paper, and wrote down these questions one by one.

After everyone finished speaking, he also classified and summarized various issues.

He went through all the questions again. After sorting them out, he looked up with a smile, looked at everyone, and said: These questions, although small, are very important.

Now let me tell you what I think.

In response to the various issues raised by everyone about cooperation in building granaries, I am wondering whether we can carry out wider and deeper cooperation with the whole village, or cooperation with three or five companies.

…

Zhu Di proposed village-community cooperation.

Farmers, one family at a time, work alone. In this era, the ultimate limit is whether you can starve to death or have enough to eat. No matter how much you think about it, it will be difficult!

For example, a single farmer's family's financial resources are too small to hoard food, so they can only sell it early and at low prices. The main source of wealth for farmers is food, but they cannot make money from food.

At the same time, there is also a huge waste of human resources.

The same woman digs the ground and weaves.

The gap in production output value is huge!

However, working alone as a family unit cannot fully and reasonably allocate human resources.

Human resources cannot be fully and reasonably used effectively.

The advantages of manpower cannot be maximized!

The company needs to optimize its manpower.

Let people who are good at it do what they are good at.

In a military organization with combat effectiveness, the optimization of human resources is even more extreme.

Land shares, large livestock shares, looms and other production tools...

Zhu Di came up with suggestions one after another, which shocked the villagers.

Zhu Di was worried that the villagers would not understand. While telling the story, he took a branch and drew a picture in the courtyard that had become soft after the rain, giving instructions to everyone.

Explain this matter clearly to a group of folks who have no knowledge at all.

It's actually very difficult.

Simply put, Zhu Di is not lacking in patience.

It took quite a while.

Zhu Di stopped, looked at his uncle and aunt, smiled and asked, Did everyone hear you clearly?

Uncle Eight nodded, I understand, what Shiro means is that the land will be jointly owned, and we, the elders, will serve the land together.

In this way, there will be no quality difference between all outputs.

But Shiro, if we all work together, how can we ensure that everyone works seriously?

Zhu Di smiled and gave Uncle Eight a thumbs up.

new

When working in a group, it is always easy to get caught.

First of all, the village community formed after cooperation does not belong to me alone, nor to any of the uncles here, but to everyone.

In this collective, there is no difference between the boss and the waiter. Everyone is the boss of this collective!

My boss is working for me, so it's impossible not to be serious, right?

Everyone laughed.

Zhu Di continued: Of course, it is not enough for everyone to be the owner, there must be other incentives.

In this village community group, all output belongs to the village community, and this part of the benefits must be divided into three parts for distribution.

Part of it will be paid as remuneration to ensure everyone's daily life.

“Part of it must be agreed upon by all the villagers, and then be retained to be used to purchase cattle, looms, chickens, ducks, and pigs, etc., to expand production.”

There is also a part where dividends must be distributed every year based on each company's shareholding ratio.

In terms of remuneration, we have established a basic security system and an incentive system.

The basic guarantee is to set a basic remuneration. This basic remuneration is set according to the current average living standard of each of our families.

This level can only guarantee that everyone can barely survive as they are now. This part of the money and food will be distributed to everyone in one lump sum at the beginning of each year.

The incentive system sets different reward standards based on the assigned tasks and how well they are completed. The better the performance, the higher the reward.

This part of the money and food will be distributed on a monthly basis. The difference in everyone's daily life will be reflected by this part of the money and food.

Dividends are distributed at the end of each year, and at the same time, we decide at the end of the year how much grain we will keep to buy things like cattle and looms to expand production.

…

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at everyone for a while, and then spoke again, Uncles and aunts, this is the best way I can think of to help everyone live a good life.

After we cooperated, we men focused on tending the crops and doing these hard labor jobs.

Women are assigned to those who are good at weaving, those who are good at raising pigs and chickens...

In this way, food production will not be delayed, and we will have additional income from weaving and breeding.

For a single family, weaving is to meet their own needs. Raising chickens, ducks and pigs is a kind of subsidy for life, and it cannot be scaled up at all.

The waste of manpower is very serious.

The aunts specialize in weaving. I believe that the quality of the cloth will be improved, and our homespun cloth can be sold, and even sold at a good price.

At the same time, we centrally purchase farm tools, salt, etc., and we can get them at cheaper prices.

Together, we can use part of the grain every year to set up a charity warehouse belonging to the whole village. We only need a small part every year to accumulate and store it.

When encountering severe droughts or floods and no harvest, we can open charity warehouses to help all villagers tide over the difficulties.

We won't sell our land to landlords and be reduced to poverty.

Village-community cooperation is definitely the best way for farmers in this era.

The resource property of farmers is the land of the village. If you want to live a good life, you must use these resources efficiently and fully tap the potential of these resources!

The only thing that needs to be resolved is fair and reasonable distribution.

Uncles and aunts, let's see, are you willing?

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Uncle Eight patted his thigh and stood up first.

I decided to follow Shiro!

I am Shinshiro!

I believe in Shiro too!

…

Throughout the entire process, no one hesitated.

The reason for this is trust.

And this trust comes from Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's daily life.

During the period of running a school, Zhu Di presided over the division of labor and cooperation, and sold fish...

All the little things, big and small, were put together, and when Zhu Di made this suggestion, all the villagers chose to trust him without any hesitation.

However, Zhu Di really didn't expect that everyone would trust him so much.

Originally, he was planning to let everyone go back and think about it.

Uncles and aunts, how about you think about it again?

Uncle Eighth immediately glared: What are you thinking about? What kind of person you, Shiro, are, we all can see with our eyes and appreciate with our hearts!

If we don't even believe you, we wouldn't dare to risk our lives and give it a try!

We deserve to be poor for the rest of our lives!

Uncle Eight saw it very clearly.

This is just like the rebellion back then.

This is a huge opportunity for Tuqiao Village!

For example, Lan Yu followed Zhu Yuanzhang and decided to follow Chen Youliang.

If you follow the right person, your life will change dramatically!

He believes in Shiro!

At the same time, I have a strong feeling that if Tuqiao Village misses this opportunity!

Everyone will regret it for the rest of their lives!

Shiro, we don't have to think about it anymore and just follow you!

Yes, we are relying on you!

You can't do it even if you don't agree!

…

Zhu Di was amused by the words of several young people and raised his hands. When everyone calmed down, he took a deep breath and looked at the villagers, Okay! I will be the leader!

Next, we will invest in shares based on each family's property, such as land, livestock, and looms.

One share for every mu of paddy field, every mu of dry land...

…

In order to let the villagers calculate their shares.

Zhu Di took everyone straight to the school and called the unmarried girls from each family who had learned mathematics to the school.

Let these children who have learned mathematics help the adults at home calculate.

The children got the opportunity to display their knowledge for the first time.

A group of uncles and aunts were laughing from ear to ear as they watched their children skillfully calculate statistics on the sand table.

Pay more attention to reading at the same time.

I finally understood what Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun said that a girl learning math is also a dowry.

If you have this ability, if you get married, how can you not be taken seriously by your husband's family? Can you still be bullied?

That afternoon.

A homing pigeon flew out from deep in the forest east of the village, carrying news, and headed straight to Jinling City...
