Valley Emperor

The answer is that many people, especially young and young laborers, have gone to work in Shanghai. Although the countryside will not be abandoned, there is no idle surplus labor.

This made Li Kaiji feel the crisis. The young and strong laborers were all seduced by the Songjiang Prefecture Shanghai next door. In the future, the population of Jiaxing Prefecture will become less and less, and there is no population. How to reclaim more wasteland and increase food total output.

If there is no food production, is Jiaxing Prefecture still a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River?

But those idle laborers go to Shanghai to work by themselves, and the local government naturally can't hold them back. After all, you can't stop them from pursuing a better life for themselves, and you can't stop them.

However, the enterprises in Shanghai today are all sending people directly to recruit workers, but they recruit thousands of people, so he can't bear it.

Although this Jiaxing mansion is an upper-class mansion in the south of the Yangtze River with a large population, it cannot hold back thousands of young and strong laborers.

In order to avoid the large-scale loss of young and strong labor in the area, and then cause the land to be abandoned, Li Kaiji was also ruthless, and directly ordered to let the people below find a name casually, and sent those companies. Recruiters are detained.

But how to deal with it?

Now he can't pay attention for a while.

Because these enterprises can come to Jiaxing to recruit workers, and the number of recruits is several thousand or several thousand, the scale of this enterprise is naturally not small.

Behind this big company, there must be complex interests of all parties, and maybe there are interests of state-owned assets in the territory.

In this case, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble if you deal with it hastily.

Therefore, he only temporarily detained the person, but did not proceed to the next step.

As a result, sure enough, the Huating government sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Li Kaiji also felt extremely helpless at this time!

Because according to legal principles, other companies don't break the law, they just recruit workers. It's not appropriate for him to arrest people, but he can't watch the young and strong labor force in his jurisdiction leave!

Therefore, he dragged Huating directly without giving any clear answer, and then quickly sent a letter to the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen in Hangzhou, asking for instructions.

After receiving the relevant information, the governor of Zhejiang first issued a document to reprimand Li Kaiji and asked him to release the person immediately. After all, he arrested the person for no reason. Moreover, these enterprises are still large and medium-sized enterprises, and Huating and even the entire Songjiang Prefecture are standing behind them. interests of the entire industry.

If Jiaxing can arbitrarily arrest people and prevent companies from recruiting employees, will local yamen associations prohibit and prohibit companies from recruiting workers in the future, or even prohibit people in the jurisdiction from going out to work in big cities?

If this is true, where will the workers this factory need come from?

As far as the existing urban population is concerned, it is not enough to fill in all of them.

Therefore, in fact, when Feng Ni Xingwen was in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, many companies in Shanghai actually got the news, and then they also launched relations to put pressure on Zhejiang.

Li Kaiji didn't know yet, but in fact the governor of Zhejiang was under a lot of pressure.

However, although the governor of Zhejiang asked Li Kaiji to release people, he also gave a statement to Gyeonggi, which explained that the young and strong labor force in some prefectures and counties such as Jiaxing and Huzhou was seriously drained.

At the same time, affected by the prosperity of the textile industry and the high price of silkworm cocoons, farmers in some areas began to plant mulberry, cotton and other cash crops on a large scale, rather than planting food.

After this envelope arrived in Jinling City, it quickly received the attention of the ministers in the imperial study, even Li Xuan.

The problem reflected in this booklet is not just a problem of one or two prefectures and counties, but a problem of conflict between industry and agriculture!

Especially in the Jiangnan region, this problem is particularly serious.

Because the development of industry and commerce in other places is relatively general, and the development of agriculture is also limited, the development of industry and commerce just happens to be able to absorb more people for employment.

But in Jiangnan, this place is extremely special. First of all, this place is the most important granary in China. Even though the development of Huguang has been very rapid in recent years, and the grain output has increased year by year, it still cannot be compared with Jiangnan.

At the same time, relying on Shanghai in the south of the Yangtze River, the industrial and commercial development is extremely rapid, and the scale is very large!

Among these industries, the textile industry is a very important industry, and the textile industry needs raw materials, and silk cocoons and cotton are the most important raw materials.

In order to obtain more silkworm cocoons, and the competition is relatively large, businessmen raise the price to buy silkworm cocoons. After pushing the price of silkworm cocoons, farmers will plant more mulberry trees to raise silkworms to obtain higher income.

At the same time, cotton cultivation is the same pattern.

In this way, the scale of grain planting will inevitably be reduced, which will eventually lead to a reduction in grain production in the entire Jiangnan region.

Jiangnan is the most important granary of the empire. If the grain production begins to decrease, the impact will be huge and bad.

No matter how much money this makes, but there is no food, and it is useless!

However, the development of industry and commerce obviously cannot be stopped. Otherwise, how can we start the industrial revolution.

Li Xuan felt a little headache about this. The competition for population and land between agriculture and industry has already begun to appear, and it has appeared in the most important Jiangnan area.

If this matter is not handled properly, then there will definitely be big troubles in the future!

Either the industry cannot develop, or the grain production is greatly reduced, and Li Xuan is unwilling to see these two.

Finally, Li Xuan convened his ministers to discuss how to resolve the conflict between industry and industry!

You must know that although it only broke out in the Jiangnan region, in fact, this kind of problem widely exists in regions where all-day industry and agriculture are relatively developed, such as the Pearl River Delta region.

The Pearl River Delta region is now one of the most important grain-producing areas in the south. At the same time, industry and commerce are developing rapidly. There are also conflicts between industry and commerce, and there are many.

It's just not as serious as Jiangnan's side.

At the meeting of the imperial study, many ministers also spoke to you, and all kinds of methods were proposed!

And Li Xuan, as always, just listened and didn't talk. When the meeting was almost over, Li Xuan made the final decision. Since there is a competition for land and population between industries and industries in some areas, they will be dispersed.

This dispersion is a broad concept!

Including the dispersion of grain production, that is, we cannot rely too much on the grain production in the south of the Yangtze River in the future, such as increasing the grain production in other regions of the empire, especially the Huguang region, and at the same time developing other regions suitable for production, so that the empire can be used for more granaries, Avoid dependence on Jiangnan granary.

Secondly, it is the dispersion of industries. Although it is said that because of costs and other reasons, companies always like to get together, Shanghai is the most typical example.

However, the empire will plan to support other areas to develop industries in the future. For example, Tianjin has coal resources near Tianjin, and the terrain is flat and offshore. It is also the political and economic center of the north, which is suitable for industrial development.

For example, other places, such as other cities along the Yangtze River, rely on the Yangtze River to develop industries.

Finally, there is the dispersion of the population. This dispersion of the population means that when recruiting workers in the industrial zone, one should not focus on the population of the local area or nearby areas. This will not only drive up labor costs due to competition for labor, but also increase labor costs. It will lead to a large influx of local labor into factories, which in turn will lead to the number of people engaged in agriculture.

Therefore, companies are encouraged to recruit workers from places with more people and less land, or directly go to places with more people and less land to open labor-intensive factories. It's a pity that most companies don't want to come.

To this end, the Empire will carry out a series of policy adjustments. One of the most important points is that it plans to gradually cancel the large-scale financial subsidies and preferential policies in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and other regions.

The advantages of these places are already large enough, and they can develop well on their own without the need for financial subsidies and policies from the central government.

On the contrary, other places need more policy support from provincial roads and the central government because of their lack of attractiveness.

This series of decentralized policies was used to ease the pressure of Shanghai and Guangzhou, where agriculture and industry were relatively developed, which in turn caused major conflicts.

You must know that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The population of the empire exceeds 150 million, and most of the population has not reached the level of food and clothing. The workers needed by the factories at this stage are only a small number of workers for the huge population of the empire. Just a paltry number.

The crux of the problem is that factories are crowded together in very few places such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, causing local population and land conflicts. However, in many other areas of the empire, there are too many people but not enough land or employment opportunities. , struggling.

Expand the 'decentralization' policy in order to keep the rapid development of agriculture and industry!

Li Xuan made a decision, and the empire quickly began to implement relevant policies!

Specifically on the Zhejiang side, after the officials of the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen got the relevant news from the Gyeonggi side, they did not wait for the official official documents to come down, and immediately began to act!

They began to take the initiative to send out invitations to Zhejiang factories in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other places, as well as factories in Shanghai, inviting them to recruit workers in southern Zhejiang.

It also promised that the local government would organize labor to apply for the recruitment.

Of course, the local government will not interfere with whether an employment agreement is reached between the enterprise and the workers. They are only responsible for making connections. How much does the company spend to recruit people, how many people are recruited, and whether the local labor force is willing to go? The government will not do it. any interference!
