"Would you like to join the club to take over this kiln?" Xu Ping asked curiously at the seven or eight men standing in front of him, and a half-aged child of sixteen or seventeen years old.

Li Erzhong nodded in a key point: "Report to officials, we are willing!"

The old man among the five people who had been standing in the room saw someone standing up, and couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted loudly: "Li Er, what are you talking nonsense! How can we coolies do such things!"

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Bo Tan, it is precisely because we are coolies and have nothing to do. Even if we do it badly, it will be worse than us now? We have made several plans for this matter, so Bo Tan doesn't need to say anything more!"

Seeing that the five people were still trying to dissuade them, Xu Ping coughed and said loudly: "In order to overcome difficulties, poor families have been in the past. In our north, it is called joining the club, and on Fujian Road, Liangzhe, Jiangnan, they are called joining the club. Although the names are slightly different, things are actually the same. They are nothing more than helping each other and living carefully together. I said that in the front, the Liangzhe area has spread the magic sect widely in the name of joining the club, and the government has been repeatedly banned. Here, the government takes the initiative to take out the kiln to let you join the club and operate. Don't let you down this painstaking efforts!"

Li Er bowed and bowed: "The young people must be cautious and will not do anything that violates the conscience or violates the laws and regulations of the court, and will not let the officials down."

Xu Ping nodded: "Well, it is to prevent illegal people from using the society to spread cults and disturb the local area. Therefore, this cooperative is run by the government and private. As long as you act according to the rules of the society, the government will never intervene. However, once you use the society to engage in illegal activities, you will be punished severely! You must remember!"

Li Er and his friends agreed together.

Clubs have existed since ancient times, but they are generally called clubs in the north and in the Jiangnan area. They are organizations that help rural households help each other in difficult times. These clubs are still relatively primitive, and often start due to people and events. After the incident, they will naturally disappear. However, after the Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty, some secret religions also used clubs to develop grassroots organizations. The most serious years were the Maitreya Cult in Hebei Road and Jingdong Road and the Demon Cult in Liangzhe District. These secret religions often shake the grassroots rule of the regime after they develop, so they are mostly targets of strict prevention by the government.

The organizational form of cooperatives is in line with these ancient clubs, but it has stricter social regulations and organizational management, and its role is more prominent than that of primitive clubs. It is precisely because of this that Li Shen did not find it particularly abrupt when Xu Ping proposed the cooperative. This is not something that was thought out of nothing without a social foundation.

What Li Chan was worried about was that the kiln workers who joined the club were not capable enough, and they had destroyed a good kiln, and the other was that they were worried that cults would take advantage of this loophole. Although the spread of Maitreya religion has not been found between the east and west capitals, the club was undoubtedly a breeding ground for their development and must be taken into consideration in every way.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Ping repeatedly emphasized that the government’s supervision of the private sector will never be allowed to exceed the control of the government.

The spontaneously formed society among the people is easily exploited by cults. There are countless examples of this kind of history and countless books.

Take the current large-scale demon sect in Liangzhe as an example. At the beginning, what we said was not to join the sect, but to be vegetarian. This is attractive to poor families. Eating only vegetarians and not eating meat will reduce the pressure of life. Then we began to secretly gather in the name of joining the association, and members watched over each other and helped each other to raise money to help overcome the difficulties. At this point, we had not yet escaped from the scope of the original society. We went further and began to worship the demon god, the so-called demon god, so the official also called the demon sect of eating vegetables and serving the demon sect.

At this time, the Demon Cult was basically formed, and organizations began to form according to the region. The small leader was called the little devil, the bigger one was called the devil, and so on until the big devil, posing a huge threat to the local regime.

Xu Ping thought that the demon heads of the Demon Cult were later affiliated with people, but when he came to this world, he realized that the Demon Cult claims to be like this. They call themselves the Demon Cult, and their organization is simple and effective, and the leader is called the Demon Cult at all levels.

The first thing to implement cooperatives is to be afraid that farmers and small farmers will be responsible for causing trouble, and they only want to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they will not give, so that the organization will end up in vain. Another thing is to be afraid that it will become a tool for the development of cults.

Another thing is of course that is to fear disorderly development and become the source of social unrest. Xu Ping's large number of private lending in his previous life was used in the name of traditional society, and problems arise, causing large-scale social unrest.

If a cooperative wants to develop healthily, it must strengthen management and guidance and cannot let it grow wildly.

Seeing that Li Er and his men were determined to join this cooperative, the five people who came first were very anxious. They were pushed by kiln workers to negotiate conditions with the government, and it would be best to ask the government to send a few management supervisors to add some wages to him. Now Li Er and his men jumped out and said they were willing to form a cooperative to take over the kiln, so there was nothing to talk about.

Xu Ping signaled Li Shen and asked him to explain various rules to these people, especially various social rules, to repeatedly emphasize that they must not be violated, otherwise it may lead to the government's intervention.

When Tan Bo saw Li Er approaching, his face turned red with anxiety and pointed at him and said, "Li Er, how can you do such a thing? You just don't know a word, and you still have to learn from others as an employee. Can you do it? Don't be confused, and you will lose both your money and wealth at that time!"

Li Er looked at Tan Bo and shook his head: "Tan Bo, we are so poor that we are so poor that we are just bad luck, but we can only save a bad life. Why don't I take a try? Well, I've decided, and Tan Bo's will be able to win!"

Seeing that the old man was still entangled, Xu Ping slammed the table suddenly: "I'll explain here again and again that those who join the club are all voluntary and no one can stop him! You, an old man, live a long life, why are you so unaware of it? I'll give you a kiln for you to maintain your livelihood. You are suspicious here! If you don't want to do it, you can pay your wages now, and the world is so big, so where can you go to make a living!"

Seeing Xu Ping getting angry, the old man dared not speak anymore, so he could only watch Li Er lead the people forward.

Li Shen took a piece of paper in his hand and said to Li Er who walked forward: "This is the cooperative rules here. I will read it again for you to listen to it. You must keep it in your heart."

After saying that, he read the established social rules in detail and handed them to Li Erzhu: "The social rules are set in a rough manner at this time, but this is the most basic rule and cannot be violated at all. What do you have to say?"

A bearded man behind said, "Officials, Is there a saying that I don't know whether to ask?"

"If you have any questions, just ask, but don't regret it later!"

The man nodded and said, "There is only one thing that is unknown. The rules of the society say that if there is profit in the kiln, except for the amount of the government and sufficient capital, the rest will be divided equally to the families who join the society. Does this equally mean that as long as the head is present, all the people will get the same? "

Li Shen said in a deep voice: "Since you are talking about equal division, it is naturally the same."

The man scratched his head: "Officials are not small and petty, but it is always inappropriate to divide equally, right? For example, some of us have a lot of strength and do a lot of work every day, and are usually concerned about the kilns. Is it reasonable to divide more? For example, Amu is aware of the text and helps everyone settle the score, so he should also divide more, right?"

Li Shen looked at Xu Ping and said, "Some people should pay more wages in normal times. The same goes for the calculation. They always need wages when doing work. You must be clear that wages are wages, and even a penny is not enough, so this cooperative can continue to do it. Never think that you will be able to share profits in the end, so you don't care much about it. You must not want this idea. The final profits must be divided equally by the head of the people. The usual wages should be as much as you should, otherwise the kiln will be in chaos!"

This is something that Li Shen couldn't understand at the beginning. Even though Xu Ping explained it to him many times, he still felt it was a bit unreasonable. But he didn't know that this was the key to how many people in Xu Ping's previous life learned. If the dividends of the cooperative were allowed to be tilted towards certain conditions, whether it was ability or funds, the cooperative would inevitably not exist for a long time and would eventually become an ordinary commercial organization owned by some people. The core of the cooperative is cooperation and mutual assistance, not with the help of this organization, and if he felt that he was at a disadvantage, he could leave himself to do business.

It is precisely because of this that the cooperative requires the same capital, management authority, and the same dividends. Because this dividend is only the welfare of the cooperative, not the interest of the capital. Even if the cooperative encounters difficulties, some members provide funds to help overcome the difficulties, the funds are just borrowing and cannot be converted into equity, but only repaying the principal and interest at the market price, and cannot expand their voice.

One person, one vote, democratic management, this is the fundamental difference between cooperatives and joint-stock companies. If this principle is broken, cooperatives are no different from ordinary commercial organizations. It is precisely because of this difference that cooperatives can only be applicable to certain specific scopes and do not become a common unit in the commodity economy like companies.

Even Li Shen felt that something was difficult to understand, and these kiln workers were even more confused. However, they had already said that wages were wages, and they should be paid for their labor, and things could barely be explained.

After saying this, everyone had no doubts about it, so they prepared to go forward to sign and write.

At this moment, the middle-aged man standing next to the five people before sighed: "Forget it, I'll join the club, too."

When Tan Bo heard this, he turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, "Why do you think so?"

The middle-aged man said, "I have been studying for a few years. I can roughly calculate the accounts and help me take care of them so that I will not let Li Er and others suffer a great loss. Tan Bo, these hardships depend on each other and cannot really sit idly by."

After saying that, he took two steps and reached Li Er and a few others.

Li Er bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother Chen, thank you!"

The middle-aged man nodded and patted Li Er on the shoulder. Amu said that he was lying and stating, but he couldn't even read the whole article. It was really unreliable to rely on him to settle the score. The poor still had to rely on the poor themselves.
