Cooperative, the word "cooperative" contains two parts: one is cooperation and the other is society.

In ancient times, the society originally referred to the land god and the place where the land god was sacrificed, days and rituals, such as spring society, autumn society, and country. The society is the earth god, and Ji is the grain god. In ancient times, the monarch sacrificed the country, and later it was referring to the country.

Later, the club became a group or institution, such as a school club, newspaper club, association, etc.

In ancient times, the society was also the organizational structure of the grassroots local area. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the twenty-five families were formed as a community, and the twenty-five families were divided into one li, and a community was established within the same li. Over time, the community would be used together. The community would have a geographical significance.

Gu Yanwu once said that the name of the society originated from the inner and inner society in ancient times, so the ancients regarded the village as the society.

The society is both a grassroots unit and an organizational group.

Gathering and gatherings is also called a society. It is no longer just a simple grassroots organizational unit. At this time, it has also become a title of group organization, such as tea club, bow and arrow club, chess club, shoulder pole club, and Zhongyi club, similar to guilds.

Li Xiao now wants to set up a cooperative, but not a peer organization, but a cooperative to raise cattle.

For this reason, his club is not called Niu Society, but a cooperative. Cooperation is the definition of this club.

Cooperation means partnership.

The three cooperatives are simple and clear, and the princess can almost understand them.

"Is building a cooperative good for you? A thousand cows cost a lot, won't you lose money?" The princess didn't understand agricultural production very much, but she subconsciously felt that it seemed very unprofitable.

After all, other landlords and powerful people have cows in their hands, but they don’t do it for free for farmers. They all rent them, either collect rent directly or agree with farmers that the harvest of the fields they cultivated by cows will be used as cattle rent every year.

"This is a kind of cooperation, which emphasizes mutual assistance and win-win results, and will not lose money."

"But why don't you rent cattle to farmers like other landlords?"

Li Xiao explained, "I have a group to raise cattle and cooperate with farmers, so I don't have to feed and take care of it. I just need to hire a veterinarian to go for regular check-ups."

"But if you raise it yourself and hire some shepherds and cowherds, it doesn't cost much. This labor is actually not worth mentioning compared to your cattle rent? You obviously make more money by renting a cattle!"

The princess's account was settled very clearly, and that was indeed the case.

But Li Xiao likes money, but is not a person who insists on falling into the eyes of money. How others make money is one thing, he himself doesn't want to do that. Anyway, the cooperative can make money, but it's just to make more money and make less. Moreover, he believes that in this cooperative method, in addition to making money, he can also gain a lot of other things he wants, such as reputation.

A small landlord with no foundation sometimes has such a good reputation and can provide him with many conveniences.

The princess smiled and shook her head and said, "It's still the same. You always think about things differently than other people. Just like the last time you asked you to be an official, but you refused to accept it. No one else can understand it, so is me. Now it's the same. You can make more money by raising yourself, but you have to set up a club to support you."

"Fortunately you are just a little landlord. If you are a famous official, you might even have a censor who will impeach you and have evil intentions to win people's hearts." The princess reminded him.

Li Xiao spread his hands.

"I am just a small country landlord. I am trying hard to be a local genius in the Tang Dynasty. But I have no evil intentions, so what can I plan?"

"So fortunately you are a little landlord, so don't worry about those."

The princess asked again, "Is your money enough to buy so many cows? If not, come to me to get the money."

"I still have money."

"Where do you get so much money? Your family business can be seen. Forget it, you want to form an association, then what if I join the association and join the company."

Li Xiao didn't expect this.

Originally, his club did not consider what stocks others could invest in. The club was just a name. He came out of the bull, and then the merchants who joined the club took the cow to feed it for free, which was just a cooperative relationship.

But now Yuse wants to help Li Xiao, but he proposes to buy a share.

He smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness. If the princess really wants to do it, it won't work. Otherwise, you can get three hundred cows and I will get seven hundred. Let's get three hundred."

"Does the members have no shares?"

"After joining the club, they are qualified to raise cattle, and the advantage is that they use cattle for free. As for the cost of raising cattle and operating profit, it has nothing to do with them." This model is actually simpler and saves trouble.

After all, the original intention of the cooperative is to make money by Li Xiao and farmers use cattle.

"If you don't have enough money, I can pay more, and I still have some money here." The princess said. After Yuse became a monk, the emperor's brother was still a little guilty about her and rewarded her a lot of money. Now that the princess has become a monk and practices, she doesn't value these things.

She joined the club not to make money, but she was just afraid that Li Xiao would help him manage the escort account and would lose money if he paid for the escort account.

"Enough." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The fact that association is not something you can think of just a slap in your head.

Although there is some reason to handle this matter in a unified way, Li Xiao’s association also has some other considerations, but now these are just some ideas.

No matter what the society says, it is united and gathered, no matter what era it is, people-oriented.

Form a club and gather a group of people. As leaders, if they manage well, it will be of great help.

Now, in the name of raising cattle, we gather a cooperative to raise cattle.

But after people get together, they can do a lot of things in the future.

For example, if this group of people gathered, there were 800 households, which would have exceeded the grassroots liguar organization of the Tang Dynasty. As a leader of a society, if Li Xiao could have enough prestige in the society, it would be a disagreement, but in fact the village head.

Think about it, in ancient farming society like the Tang Dynasty, where the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the countryside basically relied on autonomy, while autonomy basically relied on those clan families and powerful people. Many large and powerful families rely on the huge size of their own families to control the local voice.

The Li family is few, which is far inferior to that in this regard.

But if Li Xiao's cooperative can make all the 800 Lanxi people convince him, his influence will even be far beyond that of the village chiefs.

However, there is no need to mention these for the time being. Without a certain degree of prestige, the president is useless.

You have to let the people see enough benefits so that everyone will believe in you, the president, follow you, and protect you, the president.

In times of trouble, you can join forces to protect yourself.

In times of famine, relief can be provided.

During agricultural production, we can also cooperate and help each other.

In the future, Li Xiao can even develop his cooperative into a credit cooperative, so that everyone can save money and loans, mortgage loans.
