"Side Business Main Business":The Modern Farming Economy of the Ningshao Region
The spatially diverse structure of the farming economy in Ning Shao,on the one hand,a continuation and development of the comparative advantages of the natural environment and traditional habits of Ning Shao,but on the other hand,it is closely related to the economic and trade contacts between Shanghai,the centre of modern industry and commerce,and the Zhejiang merchants who travelled to Shanghai.The continuous development and deepening of the shipping and money industries of the Shanghainese and Zhejiang merchants in the two regions has further accelerated the process of the continuous transformation of the side business into the main business of the Ning Shao regional peasant economy,and accelerated the formation of a block economy with its own regional characteristics.The local side-products of the Ning Shao farmers,such as cotton spinning,sericulture and silk weaving,tea planting and straw hat and mat weaving,have naturally become the main types of industry in the regional economy.They had a solid socio-economic base in the region,which in turn further expanded the strength of the financial capital of the Zhejiang merchants.
