"You cook today, I'll wash the dishes."

"No, you burn, I wash."

"Or what if you order two takeout?"

"good."

——Comedy sketch: "The Evolution of Social Division of Labor"

......

There are thousands of differences in the development of industrialization and agriculturalization.

To put it bluntly, major theories such as "progress in production efficiency" can be described in a long and long time without stopping. They are good helpers for historical texts, farming texts, and key texts.

But this lacks a sense of reality.

Just like a pound of flour and a pound of buns, eating a pound of buns is more practical.

so,

To put it in a nutshell, the change of ‘how to eat’ is enough to [bring the noodles with a little bit]!

Time accelerates...

Five days later, it rained after noon.

In Gus City, a young carpenter finished his work, stuffed the file and hammer back into the tool box, and sat down on the stone steps outside the cottage - the working cottage was covered with wood chips, which was inconvenient to eat.

He took out a large piece of black bread wrapped in clean cotton and took a few bites hungrily. The oval black bread was filled with a full filling: diced mutton, boiled mung beans, crushed cabbage, marinade, and a proper amount of salt.

As early as the early morning, the carpenter's wife spent more than two hours cooking and making 6 such "mixed bread": 2 for the carpenter, 2 for herself, and one for her eldest son and young daughter. The whole day of the family had to prepare the meals in advance in the early morning.

The residents in the city are different from those outside the city. People who work in Gus City often work in stores, employers' homes, stalls, and streets for a whole day, and don't go home in the middle because they can't get away.

In contrast, although the villagers outside the city are tired and full of farm work every day, at least after finishing the farm work, the villagers still have relatively flexible free time and can go home to cook and eat freely.

(The serf village next to the castle manor is another matter, so I won't go into it for now)

Although there are also some parade vendors selling dried fruit, sugar wheat balls, and freshly made braised meat in the city, for most families with limited financial resources, they must be cheaper to cook at home, and they will occasionally buy "ready-made lunch" from parade vendors when they are in an accident.

(To put it another way, a relatively wealthier small number of urban residents are the stable source of customers for street vendors)

For families in the city, fresh, non-stiff black bread, dried and sifted rice (risotto·rice), these two types of starch [staple food] are purchased from large and small grain stores and bread baking shops in the city every day.

Vegetables, marinades, chicken, duck, mutton, dried salted fish, etc. The raw materials are purchased from stalls of self-cultivated farmers and fishermen in the market. They take one or two hours to cook when they go home, and three or four hours a day.

What? Didn’t it mean it only takes one or two hours?

It doesn’t take time to buy and pick vegetables at the market?!

It doesn't take time to walk around the clock?!

It takes time to make a fire on the stove and clean kitchen utensils!

(No gas stove, rely on firewood; no faucet, rely on water tank; time-consuming and laborious)

It will take three or four hours to stack all of them.

Liberating productivity? Start by reducing the time to ‘eat’!

However, what makes a devil feel more regretful is that under the current environmental conditions, it is only suitable to reduce the "eating" time for farmers outside the city. The residents in the city are involved in the issue of eating too many causes and effects—

——Grain shops, bread and bakery shops, market trade, one move will drive the economy. Once the economy is in chaos and public security deteriorates, it will be difficult for the lord to reform.

As we all know, farmers have always been the most convenient way to handle.

Of course, the scientific research progress of Chuyang Guoce Tree has not yet illuminated the most critical energy technology. Although a devil can use hand rubs (literally!) Pinxixi version of the "steam engine prototype mother machine", it is impossible to start industrial reforms due to the lack of sufficient easy-to-use energy - such as [land mergers], [land enclosure movement], [little handicraft loses work], etc., it is still very early.

The reform plan currently designed for Chuyang is based on the outline of "improving the utilization rate of agricultural resources" to focus on the small peasant economic system outside Gus City!

There are three economic systems on this broken island:

The slave economy integrated with [Cast Manor Serfs];

A feudal contract commercial economy integrating [castle harbor vendor market];

A small peasant economy integrating [rural market vendors];

Well, the small peasant economy (self-cultivated farmers) is the worst one:

Not only do we have to pay agricultural taxes to the castle, but we have to suffer the "scissors gap" exploitation by big vendors in small harbor towns.

It can be said that [both ends are sucked in blood].

As for whether the lord sucked more ruthlessly, or whether the big vendors in the small harbor town sucked more ruthlessly, it depends on their opinion.

In the eyes of a devil, the policy of the lord sucking farmers' blood can be improved to "more efficient, more scientific, and more development potential". At the same time, suppress and hit the big vendors in Gus City - here specifically refer to the [grain shop guild] and the [Erdao vendors] who purchase agricultural products in small amounts - strengthen the castle's control over the "scissor gap" and concentrate more agricultural resources in Chuyang's hands rather than the private vendors!

It looks like "focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce"?

Yes, not.

Under the feudal system, the most reliable solution is to "focus on agriculture and suppress commerce" to strengthen centralization, authoritarianism and resource centralization.

However, most masters began to steadily after the castle became rich and strong, and they were no longer enterprising.

Chuyang does not intend to [show off for three hundred years].

Gus City's centralization, its own authority, the concentration of agricultural resources,

Only by completing these three strengthenings can Chuyang have cards in his hand, and Li Jiashu can assist Chuyang in reforming the economic system within Gus City [roughly].

In fact, the logic is very simple: first, the countryside is done, then the countryside and castle manor work together to transform the city. After both the countryside and the city are successfully transformed, they will eventually reform the castle manor from top to bottom.

Whether to first [rural] or [city] first, this is a route issue.

According to the objective situation on the island, from the perspective of seeking truth from facts, the views of the devil and the young lord are consistent:

It’s too difficult to deal with in the city, so first take action against the village outside the city!

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to solve the "problem of kitchen catering pressure on construction sites",

A certain accelerated devil and the young lord tinkered for the middle of the night.

Designed and improved an important step in the development of the island.

Decided to build it—
