Chapter 866: New Fabrics

In the far north, the Kuril Islands, and the Kamchatka Peninsula, hundreds of thousands of people are working hard to determine the future of the navy.

Countless machines and equipment have been transformed into factories, raw materials have been transformed into products, and those sailors and seafarers, with their own hard work and efforts, have ventured on one voyage after another, and the sea, although full of dangers and obstacles, but for them, they have no hesitation.

The discovery of the Americas not only represents the explosive growth of the land colonized and exploited by the Dinghai Navy, but also represents the development of new crops and cash crops, which will inevitably lay the foundation of the Dinghai Navy for eternity.

Whether it is now or in the future, this large-scale, Pacific navigation, will write a strong stroke in the history of China, not to mention the emergence of the three major crops, is completely Zhao Xin's prophetic guidance, many navigators and historians in later generations, are very strange, why such a choice, but Zhao Xin such an emperor through the ages is too magical, not just this one.

Thousands of miles away, while so many people are working hard, in Shenyang, there are also countless people working hard, they are down-to-earth, for their own lives, but also for this powerful empire.

It has been almost a year since the founding of the Dinghai Navy, and it has been almost a year since the first batch of personnel came, and in one year, these Northern Song Dynasty Zhuangding, who had no foundation at all, and some were even just ordinary farmers, began to transform, and they became different, no longer facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and just working hard in the soil every year, but proud workers, who not only have higher labor value, but also have the embodiment of this value, and a higher wage level.

The reasonable wage system of the Navy, the perfect training mechanism, and the propaganda and support have enabled these workers to undergo a transformation in one year, and they have enough material foundation to take care of them, and their whole mental outlook is different.

The first tens of thousands of people are basically level 3 on average, and there is a level 6 of Diao Xiaoyu in the middle, and there are at least 500 level 5, and the maximum time of 3 years, the entire tens of thousands of people will become level 5 or above.

This is just a preliminary, what really makes the Ding Navy pay attention to is the follow-up 3 million, because of the attraction of the Ding Navy's management fee, more pay, so that the entire Northern Song Dynasty took action, from all over the country, 3 million people were mobilized, although it is said that the age difference is large, from the age of 14, until the age of 55, after the middle, the Ding Navy was screened.

Of course, it's not a return, it's easy to get to the Dinghai Navy, even if they don't meet the standards of the Dinghai Navy as a labor force, they can't be sent back, this is all the population, and the foundation of the Dinghai Navy is strengthened one by one.

14 to 18 years old, this belongs to the young, in the Northern Song Dynasty, these people are already adults, 14-year-old marriage, and even have children abound, but in Dingjun, less than 18 years old is not an adult, they need to enjoy foreign care and education.

For these people, according to the different circumstances, the education and mastery are only different, and a series of training is carried out, which is mainly to enter the technical school and carry out zero-based tutoring, and their growth prospects will be greater in the future.

Those who are really capable, valued, can even make up for their homework, or even get admitted to university, and enter a higher level of people, even the worst, as long as they go through 2-3 years of technical education, they will come out as a level 3 worker, which is all free and does not cost money.

Those who are over 50 years old are basically sent to the elderly, or relatively easy jobs, for example, in the city, for sanitation and environmental maintenance, they are all at this age, and they can do what they can.

In this part, they do not have promotion, this point is also told to the Northern Song Dynasty, the navy will pay the management fee according to the minimum standard, for this, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, there may be some complaints, but people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, in their opinion, these people can obviously work, and can be promoted.

Now, the money is given to the standards taken out by the navy, and it is not harsh, this part of the personnel is not much, accounting for about one-fifteenth of the 3 million people, that is, less than 200,000, compared with 3 million, the difference is very far, maybe there will be a little loss, but compared with the others, we still have to endure it.

Follow-up taking advantage of the previous year, the assault to the 3 million people, because of too many people, the relationship between good and bad, in the end, the average level is only 2 levels, compared with the earliest tens of thousands of people is not a little bit worse, it is expected that by the end of this year, the average number will still not be too much improvement, because the base is too large, but the number of technicians above the third level will increase a lot, which is also quite obvious for the overall management fee increase.

Level 0 to level 2 is also considered to be a doubling of the management fee, if it is more levels of more steadily improved levels, bringing a better amount of management fees, according to the current level of more than 3 million management fees, the average level of 2, is 1.5 times, that is, 250 management fees will be obtained every year.

This money is really a lot, 3 million workers, almost 750 million management fees, this money is calculated from the moment of promotion, and now, many workers have been promoted, and the Northern Song Dynasty has also received this money.

The first batch, that is, 3 million laborers sent over, the management fee of 300 million, of which 150 million was given to the center, under the leadership of Han Qi, this money was basically used in the canal project, with strong financial support, the canal project was carried out very smoothly, at the same time, the funds were sufficient, and the progress was also very fast.

As long as there is money, there are enough workers and machinery and equipment, and it can be divided into multiple bids, and each additional bid section means that the efficiency of the entire project will be higher.

This part of the funds has been invested for 1 year, and when Han Qi personally stared at it, and the people under him were working hard to use it in one place, the whole project was progressing very fast.

From the beginning of the year to the beginning of the second year, in just two months, 30 million yuan was invested, divided into at least 200 bids, which are mainly the excavation of some canals and underlying water conservancy facilities, which should have been handled by local officials, but were taken over by the center and became part of such a huge project.

In two months, at least 5,000 kilometers of canals were built, as well as the construction and dredging of some rivers, tributaries, and irrigation facilities, which amounted to a massive uplift in the entire central and eastern regions.

The overall effect is very obvious, and the number of paddy fields in the central and eastern regions of the north will increase by 10 times for a long time to come, which is a very impressive number.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, farmland water conservancy, as well as agricultural planting technology, reached a certain extent, and even with the technology of compost and farm fertilizer taught by the Dinghai Navy, the yield of dry land will not be the same as before, only a few dozen catties, and can produce several times more, but in terms of overall output, paddy fields are much higher than dry fields.

The reason is very simple, any growth of organisms is inseparable from water, without fertilizer, the soil is not enough, maybe the yield will be reduced, or it may not grow badly, but it will not be lost.

If there is a drought, it will be really a thousand miles of land, and even the grass will die, and you will be able to produce food.

The large-scale emergence of paddy fields represents a large-scale increase in the income of food crops, and some of the ones that are not suitable for changing to paddy fields will also be more than ordinary dry fields, because with enough water, crops can be grown.

At the same time, the construction of a large number of water conservancy facilities also has great benefits for the prevention and control of disasters, mainly floods and droughts, once floods are submerged, as long as there are a few days, crops will be soaked, and the same is true for droughts.

With sufficient water conservancy facilities, a large number of ponds, and various canals, some of the water can flow into the sea in vain, intercept it, and provide the water needed for irrigation in times of drought.

A one-kilometer-square, 10-meter-deep pond can hold more water than a river, and the role of the lake, that is, can coordinate flood and drought disasters.

2 months, concentrated investment and work, so that the Northern Song Dynasty's farmland water conservancy construction has been greatly promoted, but did not achieve the final result, the busy time is up, for water conservancy facilities, can not be carried out on a large scale, fortunately, most of the water conservancy construction, has basically ended, leaving only the key places, centralized construction.

In the year, the most important is the excavation of the canal, although it also takes into account a part of the construction of water conservancy facilities, but it is mainly based on transportation, some large-scale canal excavation, the water system is linked together, once completed, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the scope of river traffic, will reach the extent of tens of thousands of miles, most of the big cities, can be connected by water transport, some key cities, they can even break away from the railway, rely on water transport alone.

The construction of water conservancy facilities is all-round for the improvement of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, but it is these factories that have really improved the most for the Northern Song Dynasty.

Before, the Northern Song Dynasty had already felt the benefits of industrialization, in the Northern Song Dynasty officials, as well as some nobles in the south, they invested in the construction of those factories, once the people were concentrated, after the use of machines, the effect was very obvious, compared with the previous commerce and merchants, this rapid exceedance, became the focus of investment.

However, these factories cannot be compared with the factories of the Dinghai Navy, and those factories can only be regarded as handicraft workshops, and there are some machines, but most of them are single-person and unsystematic, and they even find some industrialized things in the process of groping.

However, since the establishment of the navy's factory, they have been so proud of their experience that they have been broken apart, and they have not thought that the real industry is like this.

The factories promised by the Dinghai Navy were completed in less than 8 months, and the speed of Dinghai was not only undoubtedly displayed in the Dinghai Navy, but also in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

Among the 100 factories, at least 80 textile factories and light industry factories are factories with small investment, quick results, and huge profits, plus they are closely related to the common people, and everyone has to wear clothes, even how poor the place, there is a piece of clothing that can be worn out.

Among the 80 textile factories, cotton textile is the most, more than half, hemp textile and silk textile, occupy the rest of the part, the most important thing is that the new textile, although these factories are very few, but the profit is blind to many people's eyes.

In Zhao Xin's synthesis through the card system, no rubber was synthesized, and no polyester was synthesized by the industry in later generations. But it does not mean, all polymer compounds can not be used on the weaving, part of the performance is very good, you can apply it, at present, there are too many Ding Navy, in chemical synthesis, and natural extraction, there is no way to obtain such a substance, but there is a card system, a little addition is still possible, compared with natural fiber materials, these new products of the Ding Navy, in some aspects of the performance is more outstanding.

Some of the new fabrics have appeared in the commercial exchanges of the Dinghai Navy, some high-quality spring clothes, Xia Ai makeup came out of the ready-to-wear store, and quickly became popular in the Dinghai Navy This part of the fabrics can not all be supplied to the Northern Song Dynasty, but the only two high-end fabric factories immediately became the highest income in the entire factory.

New fabrics, of course, are expensive, of course, they are expensive, and at the same time, they are easy to process and can easily produce high yields, in which case the profits are of course high.

Because it is a cooperative factory, Dingjun will occupy a part of the profits, but this part of the profits, Dingjun did not include it in his own hands, but used the method of orders and acquisitions to stay in the Northern Song Dynasty, which immediately demonstrated the profits of this factory.

Ordinary factories may be tens of millions of levels, some large-scale daily necessities, not even reached, but when it comes to silk factories, they can reach tens of millions, and these new textile factories can reach hundreds of millions, and the two factories can reach the level of other, more than a dozen, dozens of factories, so that the Northern Song Dynasty, which did not pay attention to it, immediately paid attention to it, and even the Dongfu directly took back the control of these two factories to the center, and did not dare to decentralize it easily.
