Chapter 110
The first person to sign the oath was none other than the person Lin Qinghen had met before in the plantation in the south of the city, and whom Lin Qinghen had later supported and brought under Diemeng's wing - the one who set up the scaffolding.
Some time ago, this guy's shelf business had some success. After failing many times, he finally succeeded.
With this skill, the same piece of land can yield nearly twice the harvest, which is a major breakthrough in Lin Qinghen's eyes.
Coincidentally, there has also been some progress at the Tear City Equipment Refiners Association. Although it has not been a huge success, after so much research, they have indeed produced some results.
It is a device that can automatically monitor and assist in irrigation, and can be installed on the pillars of the shelf. The combination of the two, one increases yield and the other saves trouble, is a great improvement in planting.
When Lin Qinghen first received the news, he went to see it himself and knew that there was indeed no problem. Of course, he planned to promote these good things on a large scale. Just when he was thinking about how to do it specifically, Bai Muchuan came.
So, all of these things came together.
Bai Muchuan was planning a scheme, and Lin Qinghen was naturally planning one as well. He never rested, acting with others outside and doing a lot of things in secret.
It doesn't matter that Haihun City is coming with great force, the key to solving all problems is to improve oneself. In his opinion, the first step of industrial evolution is technological breakthrough, which has been achieved, and the next step is reasonable division of labor, and standardization is an inevitable path.
It just so happened that Tear City had just experienced a large-scale harvest some time ago, and Bai Muchuan spent a large amount of money to buy medicine there. Lin Qinghen didn't care about this, he had already started preparing for the pilot project.
Some of those who had always had a good relationship with Die Meng did not renew their contracting oaths, and were arranged by Lin Qinghen to carry out this demonstration in secret.
Since it is a cooperative, it is not as simple as putting a bunch of people together to work. Division of labor means division of labor.
The man who built the scaffolding was a standard skilled worker. He had done repeated experiments and many details were not something that others could learn easily. Lin Qinghen didn't care whether he would accept apprentices in the future. Now he was only responsible for doing his own job and no longer farmed.
The rest of the people were assigned positions according to their wishes, specialties, and expertise. There was a shift system for taking care of the fields, and there were people dedicated to watering, recording, doing the hard work, etc. They were given shares according to the specific circumstances and difficulty of the position, and the crops were distributed according to the shares when the harvest came.
Lin Qinghen found a piece of land for them to try out. Although the land was not yet harvested, it was at least in operation. He constantly adjusted many details based on the actual situation.
In recent days, the specific division of labor and corresponding shares of the entire cooperative have been basically determined, and it is obviously on the right track. It can be said that there is a basic template.
After this model was established, all participants continued to provide Lin Qinghen with feedback on their actual experiences, which were basically consistent with what Lin Qinghen had in mind.
When individuals do specialized tasks, with the assistance of technology, stress is significantly reduced and efficiency is significantly improved. Even the person in the cooperative who has the easiest job and gets the fewest shares is expected to gain more in the end than before.
Bai Muchuan was looking everywhere but not at that side. What he didn't know and didn't care at that time was that the real storm that Lin Qinghen was brewing was still in this field.
So Lin Qinghen didn't sign a contract with one person to cultivate such a large field just to be angry with him. He signed a contract with a cooperative. The people who had participated in the previous experiments were already familiar with the work and could be sent there directly to take over.
The man who set up the scaffolding already belonged to Diemeng, and now Lin Qinghen knew basically everyone in the cooperative well. To some extent, this cooperative was like a branch of Diemeng, closely connected with it and directly influenced by Lin Qinghen.
After its establishment, the model was determined, and some people were allocated from the Wolf Clan to expand the scale. With the one-third of the land, the cooperative could be basically supported.
The Wolf Clan has also replaced their warehouse with this kind of double-layer shelves. Lin Qinghen has calculated that even if there are only these, when all the materials are collected and Guang Diemeng's share is received, the orders from Haihun City and Lingguan will be enough, and there will be no problem with the Alliance.
Of course, just this one cooperative is not enough, there is also the other two-thirds of the land.
Lin Qinghen couldn't care less about so many things. According to his habit, he would naturally distribute it to ordinary people, so the corresponding incentive mechanism came into being.
He hopes that capable people can form their own cooperatives, make good use of these things, and give full play to the abilities that everyone should have. Lin Qinghen is willing to provide various guarantees and guidance to make the entire Tears City more prosperous.
The grassroots level of Tear City is still scattered, and in fact, it is a mixed bag of good and bad. The reason why Bai Muchuan wanted to find large and small pharmacies at that time was because the collective is easier to control and manage. The reason why Lin Qinghen wanted to promote the establishment of a cooperative is naturally for this reason, for better development in the future.
A stable collective is not easily shaken, and this approach is also more long-term.
"The amount of pills Diemeng can make is always limited. Now the land is getting bigger and bigger, and the materials are being produced more and more. There will always be a day when I can't collect them all. If Haihun City is not angry with me, they will not accept them either," Lin Qinghen said when he explained to everyone at that time. "The quality of the pills we produce is good, which makes other medicine shops afraid to come here, because even if they collect the materials and make medicines, they can't compete with the competition, and the profit is low. If more and more materials grown by the people are thrown into our hands in the future, how can we explain it to everyone?"
Mu Jiu was very happy during this period and he had never thought about this problem.
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. Although this situation has not yet occurred, at the current development speed of Tear City, it won't be long before it happens. When problems really occur, it will be too late.
Lin Qinghen hopes that even the lower class in the city can gradually gain autonomy. Only when everyone has abilities can they become truly prosperous.
The purpose of setting up a cooperative is not to let everyone take a little more materials and go back home, but to unite everyone from beginning to end, from production to sales, to form a real industrial chain.
If Tear City continues like this, there will be more and more arable land in the future. It is no longer the time for everyone to be restrained. Lin Qinghen is almost unable to cope with the workload just from his commission, as the system's output of pills is always limited.
The same goes for the Tear City Alchemist Association. Mu Jiu's medicine garden is already quite large, and if it expands further, the materials that can be consumed will become less and less.
His Diemeng recruits alchemists very carefully, and the Wolf Clan and Tear City Alchemist Association also screen their candidates repeatedly, resulting in some alchemists with ordinary talents coming to Tear City but unable to find a place to go for a while. It is a pity that these people are lost.
"Before, growers had to listen to the pharmacy. No matter how low the price was, they had no choice but to obey. But now I am a little more honest and set the price a little higher, so everyone is happy." Lin Qinghen still remembers when he was treated as a leek by Bai Lu Zongheng, and also remembers his helplessness at that time. "But if this situation continues, no one will be manipulated by anyone. A mature and stable cooperative can rely on the large quantities of high-quality raw materials in its hands, and in turn become a customer with a say, actively hire alchemists, and become a relatively independent collective that produces and sells its own products and integrates production and sales."
Other pharmacies don’t dare to come and collect materials because of the low profits, but the cooperative does not have this concern at all. The materials are all produced by themselves, and the cost is very low.
Even if there is no medicine base, the society can hire ordinary alchemists to produce pills of slightly lower quality than Diemeng's and sell them at a cheaper price. There will always be people who will buy them. After all, the raw materials are good, much better than ordinary ones, and for the common people, this can make much more money than selling the materials directly.
This was also one of the long-term reasons why Lin Qinghen did not require the people to sell the materials to himself and the Tear City Alchemist Association when he made the oath of alliance.
We must give the people full autonomy, from the beginning to the future.
This market cannot be supported solely by big players like them. In any large and mature market, active small and medium-sized businesses make up the majority.
The targeted incentive mechanism published by Lin Qinghen was not long and mainly discussed three points.
The first is the laying of double-layer shelves, the second is the automatic device developed by the Equipment Refiners Association, and the third is the Bee Crystal Butterfly from Diemeng.
The technology of making the racks cannot be taught to outsiders for the time being, but this thing can be sold as a finished product after it is built. It can be dragged over and used directly. At most, we can send someone over to explain it, just like we explained the soil ratio at that time.
The Tear City Refiner Association is the same. This thing can be sold in bulk. After working hard with Lin Qinghen for a long time, this time there is a finished product, and it can also make a profit from it. Yu Yinyin's Bee Crystal Butterfly has been collected before. This butterfly also has obvious effects of increasing production and improving quality. If used well, it will naturally be of great help. He didn't take this thing out before, just to wait for the right moment.
These incentives are not free at all, not because Lin Qinghen is stingy. People will not cherish free things. They will take them for granted and naturally will not work hard for them.
Everything has a cost, but if one individual goes to buy these three things, the people of Tear City cannot afford the expense. However, if they unite and purchase and use them in a unified way, the pressure will be dispersed and they can bear it.
Lin Qinghen has already provided them with a demonstration of the specific model of the cooperative, and they can just follow it.
There is still some time before the next harvest period, which is enough time for the people of Tear City to observe and consider, and then elect a president as the person in charge to sign the contract.
The people of the entire City of Tears were once again excited about this notice. Some people with some ideas began to plan to stand out, and the scope of influence this time was obviously much larger.
In recent days, the communication between Tear City and the outside world has become more and more frequent.
Lingguan and Lin Qinghen reached a friendly cooperation agreement, and the road between the two cities gradually became lively. Many people ran from Lingguan to Leicheng to prepare for farming, and Lin Qinghen was also very welcoming.
At the same time, there are better spiritual weapons in Lingguan, which is different from the current path of the Tear City Equipment Refiner Association. It plans to open a branch in Tear City soon. With their arrival, the infrastructure of Tear City will become more and more complete, and it will be able to attract more and more warriors and spiritual masters.
Everyone seemed quite satisfied, except for the Sea Soul City, and they were in a very awkward situation.
Bai Muchuan knew that he had been fooled from the beginning to the end. When he finally saw everything clearly, he blamed Lin Qinghen and accepted it, but the matter was not over yet.
Lin Qinghen's oath was that there would be no more accidents, but what he had promised would not come true.
In order to win over Mu Jiu, he made an agreement to give him twice the amount of medicine in the future. It was written at that time that it would take effect after Haihun City was acquired, but Mu Jiu was unwilling and argued for a while.
"If I agree now, I will have already torn my face with Lin Qinghen. He is not a philanthropist, and the medicine supply over there must be cut off," Mu Jiu said confidently, "I have already taken such a big risk, and it can be said that I have put the future and fate of the Tear City Alchemist Association on the line. Now I just need Vice President Bai to say yes, and no uncertainty. The medicine supply in the association can last for about three months. After three months, Haihun City must fulfill its contract, otherwise there is no way to discuss this matter."
He spoke firmly and refused to retreat. If Mu Jiu had insisted, there might have been a change in the situation.
Bai Muchuan thought at the time that Lin Qinghen would never be able to turn over, and such a long time should be enough to force him to hand over the things. After thinking for a while, he signed.
It was a sure thing, but something unexpected happened. Now, this oath has become a sword hanging over the head of the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce.
