Chapter 99 Various clubs

After leaving Shao Ling's military camp, Lu Jie's face was not very good, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He knew in his heart that Wang Xiaoli's approach was correct, and that the army did not need so many fancy moves. But in terms of emotions, he could not accept it for the time being.

Wang Xiaolie did not talk much, ignored Lu Jie's mood, and took him and Wang Ruohai to the military city south.

This is his own army, and he must be organized and trained according to his own wishes. Wang Xiaoliu does not need to think about other people's ideas. This semi-independent environment has reduced Wang Xiaoliu many concerns.

The military moves and daily training, whether in ancient times or later generations, all came from practice. However, in ancient times, people did not have enough understanding of nature and society, and often added some mystical content. The later, the more mystical content, the less truly practical content. When these mystics are removed, they are truly realistic and trained according to scientific methods, many things will be much simpler.

During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, China faced the crazy invasion of imperialism, and its huge failure greatly shocked people. These mystical contents were regarded as superstitions, were dregs of old society, and were quickly abandoned. This process was so simple and rapid that many people did not notice it. Moreover, after abandoning the old one, they had advanced foreign experience and learned the process seamlessly.

What Wang Xiaoli did now is to try to simplify the training content in scientific ways. At the same time, analyze the simplified movements with scientific methods. Disassemble them, how to exert force and how to do the most effectively, so that the soldiers can practice them well.

This incident shocked Wang Ruohai a lot. He truly understood that Wang Xiaoli's army was different from other armies, and many things here could not be explained by previous experience. This is a magical place.

The acropolis in the south is obviously much larger, and there are also large houses outside the city gate. From a distance, there are people everywhere.

Wang Ruohai was shocked and said, "The other three cities are in order and there are no noise. The place is different, and there are many people. From a distance, there are all kinds of things to do. There are a lot of fireworks."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "What the supervisory institute said is that this is a place for making armor and weapons and various weapons, and it is not as strict as the rest. Moreover, in the past few months, many craftsmen from the north and south have been taken in. They live here with their families. It is naturally much more lively."

"Oh—" Wang Ruohai nodded. No wonder he didn't see the craftsmen who went south a few days ago, and they turned out to be here.

In this era, craftsmen were considered special technical talents and were the targets of plundering from all parties. Whenever the Jin soldiers went south, they often gathered the craftsmen and took them back to the north. The craftsmen who attacked Jingxi Road last year were now mostly in Jiezhou and Jiangzhou in the north.

When I walked outside the city, I saw five or six stalls on the side of the road selling all kinds of food. There was also a wine shop and a tea shop next to it.

When I looked up, I saw that it was nothing more than the common types in Tokyo before. Such as various sesame cakes, noodle shops, fried fish, tofu, fried liver, and beverage shops selling fragrant drinks. Wang Ruohai was particularly friendly when he saw it, as if he had returned to his time in Tokyo.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There are many people here who were originally from Kaifeng Prefecture, and they make a few cents of money by setting up shops here."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "It should be. There are many things in this place that I have often seen in the capital before."

The two of them were talking while entering the city with everyone.

There are all shops in the city, and some set up stalls at the door, unlike the messy outside the city, including rice shops, oil shops, cloth shops, and everything you need for daily use. There are many pedestrians on the road, which is particularly lively.

Wang Ruohai nodded: "If there is no such place and only seeing the remaining cities, it will make people feel that Shinno is too unusual."

Wang Xiaoliudao: "In addition to making armor and weapons, it is also a place to supply the logistics of each army. There is a Baihe Wharf built in the south of the city, which makes it easy to transport materials. There are more than 10,000 troops in Xinye, and life is too monotonous without a supply here. In addition, the families of officers at all levels in the army are slowly moving here. More and more people, the place is becoming more and more lively."

Lu Jie said: "Actually, this is the way the military camp is. However, the control of the army is extremely strict, and the other places are divided into single places, making it look much more neat. In other military camps, most of them look like this city."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "The Taiwei said it well. I used to see other military camps, which was indeed the case, and it seemed a bit messy. The army should be disciplined and should not be mixed with ordinary people. So I specially set up a piece of land to make these other cities."

Even in later generations, every military base always has such a place. Not only does the garrison in the city, but also the garrison in the countryside can always bring out a small market. As for now, most of the troops are with their families, and the garrison is similar to the market. Not to mention such shops, some military bases have all kinds of restaurants and tramples, and there are even female prostitutes.

Walking straight along the way, several people entered the yamen in the city. The yamen was strange, with the gate open and no one guarded it. After entering, they saw the houses on the side of the road with various signs hanging on them.

Wang Ruohai looked at the names on the signs and had never seen them before. For example, the first one on the left was the "supply and marketing cooperative", the first one on the right was the "bearing cooperative", and there were also seed cooperatives, cattle and horse cooperatives, agricultural machinery cooperatives, vehicle cooperatives, cotton and linen cooperatives, cloth cooperatives, catering cooperatives, and money cooperatives. Most of the doors in these places were closed, with a few opens, and only a few people were in and out, which was a bit deserted.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Ruohai couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaoli: "Constitution, what is this place? Why is it different from other yamen?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "If we don't hide it from the prison, we will inevitably lose money if we don't collect money from farmers. There is no way, so we have to try thousands of ways to make money. The various clubs here are all first established. When they are well-educated and the place is settled, they will open it."

Wang Ruohai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "There are people in the world who do things like this? If you can make money, you can go out to open a store. What can they study now? If you don't do business to the outside world, wouldn't you only spend the money from the government!"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "What's the solution? Now that the place has been decided, many things are still unclear. How to open a store? Besides, you must also study it clearly how to do business. Don't open a store, and you will lose money if you can't make money."

Wang Ruohai shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that Wang Xiaoli's idea was simply unreasonable. This is an official business. Even if the capital is insufficient for a while, the store can always be opened. So what if it is not profitable? Be a little cruel and you can make local big investors pay the bill. Otherwise, you will stop it directly. Isn't it strange to have so many brands in the yamen and not open to the public?

Wang Xiaolie did not explain, but just led the two of them forward.

To be honest, Wang Xiaolien himself also thought it was strange to do this, but he did not come up with a better way. How to do business? In fact, Wang Xiaolien himself had no idea and had to study it. Restaurants, food, these are relatively simple, and the shops were opened directly. The industries here were created by Wang Xiaolien who spent countless efforts and combined with his previous experience in his past life with the present reality. How to do it and how to make money, I really couldn't figure out for a while. I only knew that these industries had a future and how to exchange for money, but I didn't think of a solution.

In the past, there were many communities in China, such as the abolished people's commune, supply and marketing cooperative, mutual aid cooperative, agricultural cooperative, and various specialty crops. There are many types. In Chinese history, Huihe Society was a very common economic organization, and the Tang and Song dynasties were particularly developed. However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to changes in conditions, it gradually began to decline. However, Japan next door retained this name.

At this time, the civil meetings were the most prosperous in the southeast, Zhejiang and Fujian Road. They were facing the sea, and the most common one was foreign trade. Before going to sea, people paid money to join the meeting. When the sea ships came back, they distributed the money they earned after selling the goods. This tradition has a long history, and illegal fundraising was often collected in later generations, which is considered a lineage.

In the mainland, there are mostly communities. For example, the cost of raising cattle is high, so there is a cattle club. Several families raise a cow and use it in turn. For example, if the farmland needs to be watered, there will be a canal club. Everyone digs a canal and uses it together. For example, if farmers can't afford farm tools, there will be a farm tool club, which is also a joint venture to buy and use it together. Of course, the most common one is the "incense club" related to religion.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaolie felt that the most worthy of government promotion was the supply and marketing cooperative. A network was formed across the country, buying goods from the place of origin and selling them in other places. It has great significance for the circulation of goods. However, there are still many things that we don’t understand. Therefore, the preparation office of the first cooperative established here is the supply and marketing cooperative.

As for the bearing club on the other side, it is related to machinery.

For industry, the most promising thing in this era is of course the steam engine. The problem is that Wang Xiaolie asked about his knowledge reserves. It is really difficult to make a steam engine that can be used in ten or eight years. After a long time, what is the use of this troubled time? In addition, the second most important thing in machinery is bearings. With bearings, many machinery will become one another.

Bearings have existed in ancient China. In this era, common ones were bronze bearings, iron bearings, and wooden bearings. However, they were roughly made and had too low accuracy, so they could only be used in occasions such as cars. Wang Xiaoliu built a club to specialize in research and make bearings with higher accuracy and more suitable use. Using these bearings, some small industries were developed.

In Wang Xiaoli's thought, these two are the most important. The supply and marketing cooperative is a social organization, while the bearing is a technological development.

For agriculture, the most important thing is of course seeds. A seed club is specially built to select the best varieties from all over the country, and to select the best among the best. You can also cross breeding and always have good varieties. With good seeds, ditches are built more quickly, and agricultural output can increase quickly.
