Chapter 834: Different Developments
After taking the Liao State and the rapid development of Shenyang, the growth rate of the output value of the Dinghai Navy actually slowed down, which does not mean that the development momentum of the Dinghai Navy has slowed down, but has increased a lot.
When one is poor and two white, it is always the easiest to develop, and a penniless white ding may pick up a piece of dog's head gold, which can make the assets multiply many times.
But for a billionaire, if you want to double your assets, although there is, there are not many in your lifetime, and it is almost impossible to double the natural opportunity.
The current Dinghai Navy is such a move, from the development of islands, the control of overseas islands, the development period of a complete industrial chain, these are the foundation, after the development to a certain extent, and obtained the solid foundation of Liao.
In the eyes of Renzong, or these ministers in the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State is just a little bigger, and even a little barren, because the Liao State does not have enough wealth, and the Northern Song Dynasty has taken more than one million years of coins in the past, which has become a relatively large income for the Liao State.
However, in the hands of the Dingjun, countless mineral deposits, countless natural products, on the contrary, the land and cultivation, have become less conspicuous.
The development of industrialization requires raw materials, which requires almost a large amount of raw materials, with steel as the core foundation, it has become the wings of industry, and the per capita consumption of steel has begun to rise sharply, and to a certain extent, it has also promoted the development of heavy industry.
When the industry has reached a certain balance, especially after refinement and deep digging, it is more difficult to develop.
However, with the support of Zhao Xin's card system and the vision of traversal, the development of the Ding Navy is still very amazing.
After the popularization of steam power and electric revolution, the per capita GDP of the Dingjun doubled again, which represents a quadruple increase in the gross national product, you know, from the Northern Song Dynasty, the Dingjun has obtained almost half of the population, in the peaceful evolution plan of 35 million, after that, the major families are scattered, about 15 million, that is to say, in just one year, the Dingjun has obtained a population of 50 million from the Northern Song Dynasty, even if the population of the Northern Song Dynasty is huge, it is unbearable.
It's a pity that Han Qi and a series of capable people who have a deep understanding of the Dinghai Navy stepped down, and a large number of middle and high-level scholars defected to the Dingjun, and the rest of the Northern Song Dynasty is really not very strong, coupled with Renzong's inexplicable attitude, everyone knows that next, it is time to wait, in this case, there are still a few people who are willing to work hard.
Even to a certain extent, in the current Northern Song Dynasty, there is no external threat, there is no foreign race, there is no enemy country, and the navy is one, but it has never been done directly, and Renzong's intention is clear, Zhao Xin does not have to be in a hurry, and it will be good if the time comes.
Zhao Xin really wasn't in a hurry, now the Northern Song Dynasty is left only with land, and maybe some finances, but under the premise that the Dinghai Navy has created almost a huge amount of wealth, the wealth accumulated in the Northern Song Dynasty is not enough at all.
Forcibly merging the Northern Song Dynasty, it is just a benefit in the name, the Liao State is still a blank piece of paper, the original remaining population, there are not many habits, can be changed freely by him, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, the major families are deep-rooted, there are many local ethnic groups, it is impossible to govern it across the board, if you really fall into it, you may fall into the mud, which is not good for the navy.
The acquisition of the land of Western Xia, coupled with the unification of many territories that originally belonged to China, and even hit Lake Baikal, almost doubled the territory of the Dinghai Navy, reaching 8 million square kilometers of land, which is a large territory.
At present, the territory controlled by the Northern Song Dynasty is about 3 million square kilometers, and Tibet is more than 100 square kilometers, and the total area will exceed 14 million square kilometers.
The reason why it is so large, in fact, during the Qing Dynasty, the area of China was about 13 million square kilometers, in modern times, Mongolia was independent, less than 1.5 million, and was taken away by Tsarist Russia more than 1.5 million, and there are other scattered, almost 3.5 million square kilometers, and the area controlled by the Ding Navy also exceeded the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so it has a territory about the same size as China in later generations.
These lands are very huge, and even many places are vast and sparsely populated, and they need to be slowly developed, operated, and built with population, materials, railways and transportation, so that they can be gathered into a complete whole, and the power of such a country will be greater.
After the railway crisis, both sides calmed down, and the Northern Song Dynasty no longer transported workers, but the Dinghai Navy would give some management fees as usual, but compared to before, it was much less, about 20 per worker.
This money is not much, but it is also a lot, more than 5 million workers, which is equivalent to an income of 100 million.
There are few people, a large number of reduced personnel, including the merger of the state capital, so that the Northern Song Dynasty actually spending, greatly reduced, and the commercial tax is still there, but it has also been reduced, more than 100 million, on the original basis, it should be bearable.
Similarly, because of the development of various farmland and water conservancy, the number of acres of land in the Northern Song Dynasty began to increase rapidly, and they were basically irrigated with water.
The population is small, but the land that can be cultivated is not less at all, but has increased somewhat, especially the entry of a large number of various machinery and equipment of the navy and the entry of all kinds of livestock, so that the value of labor has been improved, and with less labor, more land can be cultivated, and more wealth can be generated.
According to the statistics of the twelfth year of Qingli, the cultivated land found out in the entire Northern Song Dynasty is a total of 960 million mu, which is almost 2 percent less than ten years, but the rest of the land is all relatively fertile, plus the good seeds of the Dinghai Navy, fertilizer, and some scientific planting methods, most of the land yield per mu is quite high.
The north has completely adopted the intercropping of winter wheat and cotton, and the yield of winter wheat has reached an average of 4 stones, and the yield of cotton has also reached 280 catties, which is quite high.
In the south, two to three crops a year, and all growers have grain resources, and the yield per mu has reached about 8 stones, so calculated, the average annual grain output can reach 5.4 billion stones, according to the calculation of 5 stones of grain to feed a person, just the grain itself, can feed 1 billion people.
It's a pity that the population of the Northern Song Dynasty is gradually declining, and it is less than 50 million, and these grains should be too rich, and in previous years, the price of grain will fall to an unbearable level, but the existence of the Dinghai Navy has almost completely avoided this problem.
Grain is an important resource, although the Dinghai Navy occupies a huge territory of Liao, but Liao is more at a high latitude than the Northern Song Dynasty, it is natural, arable land resources are not developed, this from the data of later generations, it can be shown that China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land, cultivated land, only 1.8 billion mu, but if the Northern Song Dynasty, plus Youyun, all the cultivated land area is calculated, if according to the reasonable layout and development, the cultivated land area may reach 13, or even 1.4 billion mu.
One-third of the land, but occupy the most fertile plains and arable land, this is the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be said that the Northern Song Dynasty is almost the most elite place in China in later generations, so as to be able to feed so many people, the future Southern Song Dynasty is the same, partial to the south of the Yangtze River, but there are still more than 100 million people.
Although money can solve many problems, there is no way to solve the population base, and in the absence of large-scale exchanges with the outside world, in all parts of the world, the cultivation technology has not reached a very high level, even if it is imported from abroad, how much can be obtained.
The surplus grain of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for a small part of it was invested in wine-making or feed, and almost all of the rest was purchased by the Dinghai Navy.
The Dinghai Navy occupies a variety of advantages, not to mention the Dinghai currency, it is almost given for nothing, even if it is some industrial products, it can be easily harvested from the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, pay a part of the industrial products, in exchange for food, which is very advantageous for any country, especially under the premise of the threat of war.
Light industry factories, grain and raw materials, and the commissions of migrant workers, these three things made the Northern Song Dynasty even if it declined, even if it lost most of the population, and even lost the ability to continue to develop, but the financial revenue was still a joint peak.
It's just that, including Renzong, the ministers of the entire court are not enterprising, ensuring these three main items, and then they are self-serving, fishing for special fishing, and even Renzong, including Renzong, doesn't pay much attention to the government and politics, and there will be no problems anyway.
In the past, there were still civil uprisings or disasters and the like, but now there are few people, the planting yield is high, and a drought or flood in a year or two can't be defeated, it really can't be defeated, and it's a big deal to make money in the Dinghai Navy.
Now, although the Northern Song Dynasty still has control, it is still not easy for household registration and for those who go to the Dinghai Navy casually, but there is always a way, and the management is not so strict.
The Northern Song Dynasty entered a pool of stagnant water, and when it was a day and every day, Dinghai was very efficient in its development, natural sciences, and basic disciplines, which have developed by leaps and bounds, especially in the 12th year of Qingli, starting from Qingli 6, after 3 years of middle school and 3 years of university study, those students who entered the first batch of middle schools began to graduate when they began to graduate, which was even more different.
Dingjun spent a huge amount of financial resources to ensure that millions or even tens of millions of teenagers, go to school, do not have to work to learn, this kind of systematic, large-scale education, even if the first batch, only 1.2 million, but these people, but they are urgently needed in all walks of life, their entry, under the accumulation, suddenly born a dozen, similar to Niu Dali.
Dingjun, the time since its establishment is too short, so short that there is no time, and a series of scholars and discipline bosses have been cultivated, except for a Niu Dali, no one else is nothing.
Those who are capable are on the top, and those who are mediocre are on the bottom, this is the characteristic of the navy, and this is especially true when it is placed on ordinary work, and even more so when it is placed on scientific research.
In the middle, I have to mention a person named Jiang Quan, the subject he entered was the subject of petrochemicals, in which he had genius-like ideas and creativity.
Itself, because of the difference in research and foundation, the petroleum discipline did not develop quickly, initially, just cracked, and the most useful was kerosene, before the popularization of electricity, kerosene lamps were almost the brightest and simplest way of lighting.
Starting from the cracking of oil, the card system and Zhao Xin worked together to promote the development of petroleum, laid a foundation for petrochemical, and established the basic principles and formulas.
However, the speed of development is too slow, and the various products are too few to form a complete discipline.
Jiang Quan's arrival can be said to be a gift from heaven, and the projects he entered were very smooth, and a series of compounds were discovered one after another, and he finally sat firmly in the position of chief expert.
Zhao Xin attaches great importance to oil, it can be said that in addition to combustion and the use of internal combustion engines, oil, which occupies almost half of the chemical industry, is cracked from petroleum and then synthesized chemically separately.
When I was looking for an alternative to rubber before, I also tried to crack petroleum, and found some things at that time, but unfortunately these things, there are few useful ones, at most, it is to enrich the printing and dyeing, and some of the famous chemical raw materials in later generations have not been obtained.
But after Jiang Quan, I don't know if he is really good or lucky, in just 4 months, he found a series of chemical raw materials, including ethylene.
Ethylene, such a basic compound, his role is huge, he is the basis of industrial raw materials, most of the alkenes can be formed by him.
At the same time, after the emergence of ethylene, Jiangquan made persistent efforts to obtain a polymer fiber, which was lit up according to the card system, and it was actually polyethylene, which was the first plastic material.
In the 21st century, how widely used plastics are, it can be said that in the whole life, most of the things are inseparable from plastics, and various things made of plastics are quite obvious for the substitution of iron, glass, etc., and the price is the lowest.
Without Niu Dali, even if Zhao Xin has the vision of a traverser and the help of the card system, it is possible to realize some materials on a small scale, and it is completely impossible to lay the foundation of heavy industry on a large scale.
Now, years of education have yielded fruitful fruits, and these have been completely cultivated, and 12 have emerged, and in the future, with the passage of time, there will be more and more of these people, with leaders in all aspects of disciplines, with the unremitting investment of the Dinghai Navy, and the scientific and technological level of the Dinghai Navy, it will definitely develop with each passing day, and even to some extent, beyond the beginning of the 20th century, or even the middle of the middle period, it is not impossible.
The reason why there is such self-confidence, on the one hand, there is a card system from later generations, some problems in terms of probability, you can rely on the card system, on the other hand, Zhao Xin comes from the future, perhaps, he completely built an industrial system, a scientific and technological system, which is unlikely, but through the guidance, point out the direction of this, who else.
