Chapter 808: Make every effort
Therefore, as long as there are two sides, once the Jin State eats this poison, the Jin State will fall into long-term deflation, inflation, and repeated economic turmoil. The development of the commodity economy and industrial progress of the Xianguo have enabled the Xianguo market to enter a new economic model and form a highly complete upper, middle and lower industrial chain.
As the basic raw material market, the Jin Kingdom's dependence on the Xianguo market will become increasingly serious, and at the same time, the progress of the Xianguo will be like a magnet, directing funds to the Xianguo, while foreign funds are becoming increasingly hollow.
The Jin State wanted to move troops again, but the result was that the domestic economy was sluggish, and the Xian State was becoming richer and stronger.
After the death of his mother, the queen mother, the queen mother's henchmen were not only not absorbed by the Jin king, but relied on the interests of Xihuan to the Jin state, and the ties were closer.
The Jin State followed the example of the Xianguo reform was only the tip of the iceberg, and the great powers such as Wei, Song, Xu, Zhi, Liang, and Changsun successively implemented land reform, but by 645, except for the Gongliang clan, there were few people who could achieve great success, and at best, after stealing the Xian country's agriculture and cocoon technology, agricultural production increased significantly.
In the final analysis, the root of the reform is a dual transformation of the system and technology, the former represents the relations of production, the latter brings productivity, and ultimately leads to the redistribution of benefits.
How to deal with the redistribution of interests in the process often determines the success or failure of reform, and Xianguo has the basic conditions for changing the law.
By the end of 644 in the Shengyuan Dynasty, after 20 years of hard work, Bailiyan basically achieved the goal of "replacing government with commerce" in 625 years of the Shengyuan Dynasty, but it was more magnificent than the original plan.
In the first year of the Sheng, the princes were at peace, and the Central Plains entered an unprecedented golden age for hundreds of years, and at the same time, the outflow of agricultural technology from the Xian country greatly increased the agricultural productivity of various countries, and the impetus for various countries to promote the reform of the law gradually increased.
At the same time, Xianguo was the first to get out of the quagmire of war, and its population increased to more than 17 million. Thanks to the relaxed policy environment and low fiscal and tax burdens, population growth has been further stimulated, and the "help" of the country has been greatly affected.
A large number of refugees who fled east to the territory of Xianguo totaled more than 2.7 million, and nearly 800,000 people entered Zhiguo.
Before the four counties of Mingtian, Qiujun, Yuanshan, and Dekang were handed over to Weiguo, the population of more than 3 million was moved, but after Weiguo took over the four counties, it was surprising that not only did not anger Xianguo, but on the contrary, he was happy in his heart, and even once upon a time he may still be scolding Xianwang for being stupid.
Bailiyan pondered for a long time, but she never figured out what kind of mentality King Wei had at the bottom.
The population of the agrarian society is the primary productive force, and the population means the national strength, and the country has lost more than three million people in vain, plus refugees, and there are six million people inside and out, but they do not do anything, which makes Bailiyan worry and fear for a long time.
It was only later that I realized that the defense actually had a "colonial" mentality.
Because the country has been closed outside the Central Plains for a long time, it has gradually lost the consciousness of the main body of the Central Plains nation and the consciousness of its own national awakening, so the idea of the defenders is that he and the Central Plains people are two peoples.
Now that he has jumped into the hinterland of the Central Plains, he takes it for granted that the failure of the Central Plains is precisely because the system is not as superior as him, the people are not as smart as him, and the military strength is not as strong as him, so the patriots are superior to the Central Plains people.
Therefore, the first thing they had to do everywhere they went was to enslave the foreigners, or to exterminate them and move the patriots into the area.
Just as the white people killed 100 million Indians in the past, the ultimate goal was to obtain the land space needed for the survival of the white people, and the defense of the country also obviously has this tendency.
The Xianguo suddenly moved away all the population, which not only saved the cost of the Weiguo rule to digest the local area, but also provided unprecedented land for the Weiguo immigrants, and at the same time, the large amount of high-quality land cultivated by the Xianguo in the past three years could be fully collected into the pockets of the nobles without investment.
The relocation of the people of Xianguo once caused a shock in the Central Plains, and the Gongliang clan was even more fooled, regretting that he had not moved away the population of the two counties that had been ceded to Weiguo at the beginning.
Weiguo's attitude once worried Bai Liyan for a long time, but he didn't see Weiguo's countermeasures for a long time, but he was at ease.
Soon after the increase in population made Xianguo repair itself at an unprecedented speed, and soon after the grain growth resumed, Bailiyan recruited 200,000 people and transferred 100,000 workers to concentrate on the five counties of Ganfu, Shangguan, Wanchuan, Pengyuan, and Qiunan, built water conservancy and expanded the road, and spent 1.5 million Singapore dollars to build a dam on the bank of Ganfu to prevent flooding.
During the same period, after several years of preparation, the postal system was opened across the country, newspapers were published in the capital and county areas, and the tax law was further improved, taxing the rich and powerful, and the Yongxing Marquis took the lead in setting an example.
Due to the maturity of printing technology and the cultivation of engraving talents, it became possible to print invoices with exquisite printing and anti-counterfeiting functions, so bulk commodity tax stamps were issued at the same time that year.
Tax stamps are temporarily issued for commodities, regulated resources, and household wealth of more than S$15,000.
At this time, the accumulation of talents in the education center with Yongxing and Shanling as the core has achieved initial results, and the combination of movable type printing and steam machinery has led to the emergence of the cylinder printing method, which makes large-scale printing possible.
In order to solve the problem of education allocation, Bai Liyan persuaded King Xian to establish a system to institutionalize education appropriation, and radiate primary education to all areas under the jurisdiction of the capital county, including all the capital counties into the scope of primary and secondary education, and in the county governments and large cities, concentrate educational resources to open one or two government schools, so as to popularize literacy education.
Tuition fees are shared equally by the government, local governments and individual families, and the children of military martyrs are exempted from one child's room and board and tuition fees.
Compared with the basic free education in Yongxing City, the education measures promoted to various places are basically to solve the problem, tuition fees are still a heavy burden on families, and the financial and institutional institutions have not yet been able to establish compulsory education.
In view of the dangers caused by the flood of knowledge and technology, Bailiyan strictly screened the content of textbooks and banned the outflow of technical manuals in Yongxing City, especially in the categories of chemistry, advanced mathematics, physics and mechanical manufacturing.
Over the past decade or so, a large amount of technical content has been compiled, and its harm is no less than that of the atomic bomb. Although the total amount is not large, it still makes people feel uneasy when they think of the all-pervasive Central Plains thieves of Jin Xuedi back then.
As a result, the primary education promoted in each county is based on literacy, supplemented by basic simple mathematics and common sense, and the secondary education promoted in the county has increased slightly in mathematics.
In order to select talents, the national unified examination is held regularly every year, and those with excellent primary education enter all parts of the county to receive secondary education, and those with excellent secondary education will go to Yongxing for further study after screening their identity and background, and learn advanced mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine and technology, and will be retained for life after completing their studies, and their families will not be exiled to Yongxing.
At the same time, it is also open to self-examination, allowing those who have a skill and fail to meet the standards of the unified examination, and allow their self-struggle, they can go to Shanling to register for reference, once a year.
In particular, carpentry, as a basic type of work, carpentry is used to connect the upper and lower levels, up to civil engineering, shipbuilding and house construction, down to molds, carvings, lofting, fitters, all need carpentry. [Note 1]
Before the new equipment is transformed from drawings to finished products, the intermediate stage is a one-to-one manufacturing lofting by carpenters, and basic information is obtained by accumulating the rotating structure of the model.
The manufacturing cycle required for wood samples is one-tenth to one-fifteenth of the physical object, which is far more time-saving and labor-saving than manufacturing the physical object and repeatedly modifying the drawings and prototypes.
After more than 20 years of reform, the reform of the Xian State gradually yielded results, and during the same period, it also stimulated the vassal states to follow the example of the Xian State to promote domestic reforms.
First of all, the first and easiest to reform is the finance, and various countries have successively issued their own gold and silver treasures.
Since the effect of the invasion of the commodity economy of the Xian country has begun to take shape, a large amount of capital flows to the salt country at the same time, the currencies of various countries are depreciating rapidly, and the issuance of alloy gold coins to stabilize the value of the currency is obviously the simplest and most effective way.
However, regardless of the technical composition and quality, the quality of the new coins of various countries is still generally not as good as that of the salty countries. In addition, Yongxing City's smelting technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the huge amount of money invested in the early stage of research and development of steel has gradually paid off.
Nowadays, not only gold, silver and platinum are smelted from precious metal ores, but other associated minerals also produce small amounts of additional gold, silver and precious metals, especially copper.
Some copper ore, tin ore, lead ore, zinc ore and silver elements, gold elements are often accompanied, although the content is very small, but the annual ore smelting scale of tens of thousands of tons, the total amount of gold and silver that can be obtained is still considerable.
At the same time, advanced smelting technology and initial chemical industry can smelt gold and silver treasures in other countries and extract precious metals, while the lower labor cost and the scale effect of industrial smelting have lowered the smelting cost and made it profitable.
As feared before, the spread of knowledge could not be prevented, and the academies of the Jin, Zhi, Liang, and Changsun countries successively discovered that the Xian State distributed primary textbooks in various counties, which shows how rampant stealing and buying are.
At the end of 645 years of Shengyuan, after five years of planning, the basic formation of Ruitian textile, food, health. Lincheng chemical, cement, oil refining, papermaking. Yongxing light and heavy industry, medical research, top education, scientific research, shipbuilding. Guangxin shipbuilding, cash crops, light textiles, brewing food. It is one of the five major industrial cities in the economic, political and cultural center of Shanling.
By the end of 645, the Qianfang had a balance of payments, with a surplus of hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, millions of new money, and hundreds of thousands of major gems and jades for silk and cloth, and the economy achieved comprehensive success.
So at the beginning of 646, after a year of preparation, the whole army was successively issued with new quilt clothing, and the training uniform was redesigned, highlighting the simple and practical style, generally following the traditional style of the right deep coat, and canceling the hem, adding a corset belt, adding buttons to the placket, and distributing ceremonial dresses to military attachés at the rank of lieutenant and above.
The new military uniform is based on pale blue, with the new military emblems of the town army, auxiliary soldiers, and forbidden army, and the military uniforms of each branch are slightly different, and more practical black canvas thick-soled cloth shoes are uniformly distributed, which are used with leggings, and cavalry are additionally issued with riding boots to adapt to cavalry operations.
[Note 1] Carpentry and potters (also known as masons) are the originators of skilled trades, and all types of work, whether ancient or modern, have evolved gradually through carpentry and masons.
Including the earliest blacksmiths, they needed model (mold) manufacturing tools, and the mud tires and sand molds required for casting required pottery and plastic processes, so there were blacksmiths.
Through carpenters, they can further evolve and evolve techniques such as chiseling, drilling, carving, planing, scraping, grinding, inlaying, engraving, and filing, and then develop fitters. Once the comprehensive fitter appeared, any modern technical equipment and products could be produced with predictable knowledge and theory.
Therefore, fitters in the machinery industry and there is a universal fitter.
Even in modern industrialized society, carpentry is still an important technical position in the field of industrial production.
For example, the Great Wall, the first generation of China's first generation of nuclear submarines, was processed by carpenters according to the drawings, and its size was completely consistent with the real boat, as small as a button nut and as large as the shape of the nuclear reactor, all of which were made by carpentry one-to-one lofting, which provided a lot of data for the later construction of real boats.
Another example is the automobile and aircraft manufacturing before the 21st century, before the performance of 3D modeling and multi-axis CNC machine tools is satisfied, woodworkers still process the original shape with wood to one to send it to the wind tunnel to blow the air to obtain relevant driving data.
It can be seen that carpentry and fitter are the mother of manufacturing in the industrial field.
