The first person to sign the oath was an outsider, the one whom 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, he could get nearly twice the yield from the same piece of soil, which was a major breakthrough in Lin Qinghen's eyes.
Coincidentally, there has also been some progress at the Tear City Equipment Refiners Association. Although it is not considered a great success, after so much research, they have indeed produced some results.
It is a device that can automatically monitor and help with 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 there himself and knew that there was indeed no problem. Of course, he planned to promote these good things on a large scale. When he was thinking about how to do it specifically, Bai Muchuan came.
So, all these things happened at the same time.
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 secretly.
The fierceness of Haihun City is not a big deal, and improving oneself is the key to solving all problems. In the past, the first step in the evolution of the industry was a technological breakthrough, which has already been done. The next step is to rationalize the work, 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 was not concerned about this and had already begun preparing for a pilot project.
Some families who had always had a good relationship with Diemeng did not renew their contracting oaths, and were arranged by Lin Qinghen to do this demonstration in secret.
Since it is a cooperative, it is not as simple as getting a bunch of people together to work. Workers are workers.
The guy who built the scaffolding was a standard skilled worker who had gone through repeated experiments, and many of the details could be easily learned by others. If he wanted to recruit apprentices later, Lin Qinghen would be in charge. Now he was only responsible for doing his part of the job, and there would be no more planting.
The rest of the people are assigned positions according to their wishes, specialties and expertise. There are shifts for taking care of the fields, and there are full-time people who water the fields, record the fields, do the hard work, and so on. They are given shares according to the specific circumstances and difficulty of the positions, and they are allocated according to their shares when it is time to harvest.
Lin Qinghen found a piece of stone for them to try. Although that piece of stone had not been harvested yet, it was finally working. They kept adjusting many details according to the actual situation.
In recent days, the specific construction and corresponding shares of the entire cooperative have basically been determined. It is obviously on the right track and it can be said that there is a basic template.
After this model was implemented, all participants continued to give Lin Qinghen feedback on their actual feelings, which were basically consistent with what Lin Qinghen thought.
When individuals do specialized things, with the assistance of technology, the pressure is significantly reduced and the efficiency is obviously improved. Even the person with the easiest position in the cooperative who gets the fewest shares can expect to gain more in the end than before.
Bai Muchuan was looking everywhere, but not at that side. What he knew and cared about at that time was that the real storm that Lin Qinghen was brewing was still in this field.
So Lin Qinghen signed a contract with one person to cultivate such a large field just to be angry with him. He actually 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 to take over directly.
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 Diemeng's cooperative, closely connected with it and directly influenced by Lin Qinghen.
After it is established, we will implement the model and allocate some people from the Wolf Clan to expand the scale. With one of the three tribes, this cooperative can basically be sustained.
The Wolf Clan had also replaced their equipment with this type of double-layer shelves. Lin Qinghen had calculated that even if there were only these, by then all the materials would be collected, and Guang Diemeng's share would be enough to cover the orders from Haihun City and Lingguan, so there wouldn't be any problems with the Alliance.
Of course, this one cooperative alone is not enough, there are also two of the other three.
Lin Qinghen was in charge of so many things, and according to his habit, he naturally had to give them back to ordinary people, so the corresponding incentive mechanism came into being.
I hope 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 mixture of good and bad people. 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 the sake of better development in the future.
A stable collective is not easily shaken, and this approach is also short-term.
"The amount of pills Diemeng can make is always limited. Now it's getting bigger and bigger, and the materials are producing more and more. I will collect them one day, and if Haihun City is angry with me, they are willing to collect them," Lin Qinghen said when he explained to everyone at that time, "The pills we produce are of good quality, which makes many pharmacies dare not come here, because even if they collect the materials and make medicines, they have too much competition and low profits. If more and more materials grown by the people are thrown into our hands in the future, how can we interact with everyone?"
Mu Jiu was very happy recently and 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 will take a long time before it is too late when problems really occur.
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 to their own homes, 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 plants that can be planted in the future. It's time for everyone to restrain their hands. Lin Qinghen is almost done with just the cut he made, 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 small, and if it expands further, the materials it can consume will become less and less.
The Butterfly Dream recruits pharmacists very carefully, and the Wolf Clan and Tear City Alchemist Associations also screen their candidates repeatedly, resulting in some alchemists with average talents coming to Tear City but not being able to find a job to go to. It is a pity that these people are lost.
"In the past, 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 generous and raise the price a little, 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. "If this situation continues, no one will be manipulated by anyone. A mature and stable cooperative can rely on large quantities of high-quality raw materials in its hands, and in turn become a customer with a say, actively hire pharmacists, and become a relatively independent collective that produces and sells its own products and integrates production and sales."
Other drug stores dare not come to collect materials because their profits are low, but the cooperative does not have such concerns at all, as 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.
We must give the people full autonomy and plan for the future from the beginning.
This market cannot be supported by big players like us alone. In any large and mature market, active small and medium-sized households make up the majority.
The targeted incentive mechanism article posted by Lin Qinghen was quite 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 rack 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, someone can be sent over to explain it, just like what was said about the soil ratio at that time.
The same goes for the Tear City Equipment Refiners Association. This thing can be sold in bulk. After working hard with Lin Qinghen for a long time, now that we have a finished product, we can also make a profit from it.
Yu Yinyin had kept the Bee Crystal Butterfly before. This butterfly also has obvious effects of increasing production and improving quality. If used properly, it will naturally be of great help. I hadn't taken this thing out before just to wait for the right moment.
These incentives are all free, but it’s because Lin Qinghen is so stingy. People will cherish free things, take them for granted, and naturally work hard for them.
Everything has a cost. If an individual goes to buy these three things, the people of Tear City will have to bear the expenses. But by joining together, purchasing and using them in a unified way, the pressure can be shared and the expenses can be borne.
Lin Qinghen has already provided us with a demonstration of the specific model of the cooperative, and we can just follow it.
There is still some time before the next harvest period, enough time for the people of Tear City to observe, consider, and then independently elect the president as the person in charge to sign this 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 bustling. Many people ran from Lingguan to Leicheng to prepare for planting, and Lin Qinghen was also very welcoming.
At the same time, there are some excellent spiritual weapons at Lingguan, and the plan is to open an account in Tear City in the near future, just like the path taken by the Tear City Equipment Refiner Association. As they come, 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 Sea Soul City, and they were in a very awkward situation.
Bai Muchuan knew that he had been in trouble from the beginning to the end. After he finally figured out everything, he blamed it on Lin Qinghen. He accepted it, but the matter was not over yet.
Lin Qinghen's oath that there would be no more accidents, but what he did next was fulfilled.
In order to win over Mu Jiu, he made a promise 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 taken over. But Mu Jiu was willing, and they argued for a while.
"If I agree now, I will have already torn my face with Lin Qinghen. Besides, he is a philanthropist, so 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. If there is nothing more certain, 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 was not willing to retreat. If Mu Jiu had insisted, there might have been a variable.
Bai Muchuan thought at the time that Lin Qinghen had no chance of turning the tables, 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.
