In the city of millions of people, even at night, there are countless people who are working hard for the future of the city, they may have been able to master the text proficiently because of time, and are working hard for more advanced documents, and there are also those who have just come to Dinghai, who are speaking unskilled vernacular, following the teachers, reciting the words on the blackboard, and learning in order to reach 300 daily Chinese characters.

In the classrooms of the night school, there are slightly crowded lines, and among these students are young people who have just come of age, 20 years old, and middle-aged people who are over 40 years old and are working hard to make more money.

Among them, there are mostly middle-aged people, who may not be able to compare with young people or children in terms of memory, but the attitude they show is much stronger, and in the evaluation of the teachers in the night school, they are still these middle-aged people who really learn well and work harder.

Young people have flexible brains and strong receptivity, and in night school, those who have set records are basically young people, but when it comes to everyone, they are still 30 years old, and most of them are old and young.

Only if you have lost, you will cherish it, this sentence, there is nothing wrong with what you say, thirty and standing, this local saying, there is nothing wrong with saying it, this time for them, is the most difficult time.

Especially in the Dinghai Navy, among the first batch of residents of the Dinghai Navy, many of them are like this.

In the past few decades of life, I have always relied on the sky for food, and with the flow of fate, I have worked hard every year to be able to mix food and clothing, which is already good, and most of them are in hunger and cold.

The harvest year is a little better, at least you don't have to worry about eating, once it comes to natural disasters, it will be over.

The first batch of residents of Dinghai, in addition to the hundreds of households that originally lived in Dinghai, were these victims who exchanged with Huainan East Road.

Huainan East Road, because of the Huai River, floods and droughts, that large-scale famine, the Huai River flooded, inundated at least 31 counties, although not to the extent of the harvest, but for the bottom of these people, it is already unbearable.

At that time, Dingjun obtained a sum of money, and finally under Ye Qingchen's suggestion, Huainan East Road put his mind on this, and after some transactions, Zhao Xin obtained this batch of victims.

For the upper-level officials, this is a transaction, a transaction that uses a certain amount of influence or physical objects to treat people as goods, and after the transaction is completed, these people will become the people of the Dinghai Navy, and Huainan East Road has a lot less unstable factors, which is very happy.

When they knew the news, these disaster victims, what they could do was to passively accept it, and the relief of the imperial court could solve the temporary emergency, but it could not completely let people avoid the famine.

At that time, for these victims, a large family was in danger, and if it weren't for the appearance of the Dinghai Navy, maybe there would really be no life.

Now, in order to change their lives for the better, these first batch of people who were sent to the Dinghai Navy, for the Dingjun, for Zhao Xin's gratitude, it is beyond words, that is what the Buddha of the Wan Family can say, not to mention that there are interests, even if there are no interests, what the Dinghai Navy and Zhao Xin said, it is to obey the word.

It is this kind of mood that is directly expressed from the heart that makes the success rate of these people quite high.

He is just a farmer who fled the famine, and there are not many literate people, but he has become the backbone of all aspects of the Dinghai Navy, and the lowest is also the team leader in the factory, some of them, through their own efforts and studies, have achieved middle and high positions, and even among the group of people that Zhao Xin spent money to cultivate, 2 of the 12 are from this group of people.

It can be seen from this that their level of effort, if it is really literate, it is difficult to fall into famine, the disaster on Huainan East Road, is not small, but it only affects the crops, some places are not harvested, and the rest are a little higher, and some are not affected.

Those who have a little bit of land or savings can get through the difficulties through savings, and after the flood, as long as they are dealt with reasonably, the soil fertility does not decline too much, and after drainage, planting a season of autumn grain can still be recovered.

The most affected, or these housework, they may be because of historical reasons, or because of personal reasons, in the end they could not survive, but they were reborn in the Dinghai Navy.

Dinghai needs a large number of labor, in the beginning, the correct use of this batch of labor, and the appropriate promotion, these promotions, so that these people in earning money, living at the same time, have a new life, their talents, abilities, here, are stimulated, this has created a magical change.

It turned out that in the countryside, they were only at the bottom of the society, and the housework was constant, but now they have arrived in Dingjun, and there is an environment where they can display their talents, and most importantly, they have changed their lives, not only the family has lived a good life, but their own improvement can also be seen.

At any time, the strength of the individual is not comparable to the strength of the whole, Zhao Xin is a traverser, and he has such a golden finger as the card system, but in this way, if he can solve all problems, it is absolutely impossible.

When he was first in Baozhou, relying on hundreds of people in Miaojiazhuang, he completed the sale of steamed buns and soap, so to speak, he dug the first pot of gold for Zhao Xin, without these manpower, even with the magic of the card system, how much he can do in a day and how much money he can make.

The same is true of Ding Haijun, he can invest, he can build factories and mines, he can design the best products, and let these products be sold all over the country, but without the efforts of these workers, how much can he do alone.

On the top of the building of Dinghai Houfu, Zhao Xin looked at the bright cityscape, which was still a little dark compared to the prosperous cities of later generations, after all, the modern city, neon lights, various projection projections, and countless flashes of brightness in the night sky, wrote different views of the city.

In Dinghai, just the lights that are enough to ignite the prairie are united into a huge picture.

Dinghai Houfu is the only place where electric lights are installed in the entire Dinghai Navy, except for the research institute, to put it bluntly, to work at night, that is, several offices and duty rooms, of course, Zhao Xin's room is also indispensable.

The secretaries were outside, making a report according to Zhao Xin's instructions, and in front of Zhao Xin, there was a document that needed Zhao Xin's approval.

A number of plans for the education of the Navy are the title of the report.

What Zhao Xin is now considering is the issue of education for the next two or even five years of the Dinghai Navy, which is related to the future development of the Dinghai Navy.

Education is a big problem, the entire Northern Song Dynasty attaches great importance to literati, and education itself is an important indicator for evaluating an official, which is aggravated in the Dinghai Navy.

Zhao Xin believes that the population base is the biggest factor in the emergence of talents, and after owning factories and workers, he does not simply choose the method of squeezing to obtain the surplus value of the workers, but chooses another way.

Improve the treatment of workers, and strengthen education, constantly improve the quality of workers, in disguise to improve productivity, and then improve the efficiency of the whole factory, and obtain profits.

This point has been proved by later generations, and how much can the wage level of workers be raised, when a person increases his salary by 50%, but he can do 1 or even 2 times the work before, which is still a reduction in production costs for capitalists.

In the 21st century, under the premise that some research and efficiency have been improved to the extreme, it is too expensive to improve efficiency, but at present, Dinghai has only established a preliminary industrial system, and there are many problems, as long as a slight change, it is enough to improve production efficiency.

This method not only promoted the rapid improvement of the labor efficiency of the navy, but also brought another joy, outside of its own system, in the field of factory research, a group of specialists emerged.

When Dingjun first established the research institute, there were about 20% of professionals, and these were like Niu Dali, who emerged on the front line of the handicraft industry or manufacturing industry, and most of them were concentrated in steel and cement.

The other researchers, who were basically scholars, were literate and hyphenated, and some of them had mastered such tools as mathematics, and even the initial research was much higher than that of ordinary farmers.

With the development of the Dinghai Navy, now, among the high-level researchers, about 6 percent are the original scholars, compared with the initial 8 percent, this proportion is gradually decreasing, Zhao Xin believes that in the future, 5 percent, or even 3 percent, are possible, but compared to these acquired training, or leap forward to cultivate talents, he attaches more importance to the latter.

The former has a higher foundation and can naturally enter the field of research seamlessly, while the latter can go from being penniless to standing out in the end, relying on talent, much more talent than others.

The foundation cannot make people go one step further, and under the premise of the rapid development of the research field, it is easy to be eliminated, and only talent is constantly enriched with knowledge, so that it can follow the progress.

In the early days, the Dinghai Navy was mainly constructed, through funds, through technology, to build a series of factories, in order to prepare for the industrialization of the Dinghai Navy, more than 2 years later, the Dinghai Navy has basically mastered the production of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, all kinds of commodities, all over the Northern Song Dynasty, he paid more attention to the future development.

At this time, what kind of development direction to choose has become the focus, determining what kind of road the navy should take and how to complete the process of self-strengthening, which is a more important role for Zhao Xin than how much money he made and how many chassis he won.

It is only a matter of time before the navy wants to become a strong man, how to make this strong man last longer, not like the nouveau riche, become strong with his support, and then under the arrogance to a certain extent, like a bubble, with a ping-pong bang, and finally disappear.

Those who study history are good at summing up, and using history as a mirror can be used as a mirror to look at Xing'an, and the purpose of studying history is to sum up the lessons and lessons that have emerged in history, and to take history as a mirror so as not to make mistakes again.

This is actually not something that was only done by later generations, why historians want to revise history, the stronger the country, the more attention is paid to this, the reason is very simple, history can give a lot of enlightenment.

But in history, countless powers, countless developments, and a lot of experience, not necessarily which one is appropriate, on the Internet, there are also different opinions, anyway, there are all kinds of words, after the arrival of the Internet era, the king of the mouth cannon has become the most, after all, it is wrong, and it is not illegal.

In their eyes, some theories that are obviously patchwork are taken out by them in a grand manner, and some of the more rigorous ones can be justified, and in the eyes of many fans on the Internet, they still have a little effect, but in the eyes of scholars who really study history, they are full of loopholes.

The current situation of the navy is real, Zhao Xin has changed from a down-and-out prince to a military envoy, holding the fate of millions or even more people, and choosing what kind of development and what kind of system has become a choice that must be paid attention to.

Militarily, the shipbuilding industry is mainly at sea, and the shipbuilding industry is popularized on a large scale, and when the sea ships of the Dinghai Navy are really like the Great Wall, and no one can threaten the maritime security of the Dinghai Navy, it is the time for the stability of the Dinghai Navy.

In terms of weapons, the longbow is only a temporary transition, and in the future, when thermal weapons are gradually popularized, there will inevitably be a huge leap in the combat effectiveness of the navy.

These are all external and external factors, and what kind of development system should be used and what should be the focus of development, and this is what the navy needs.

Development path, Zhao Xin has also sought the opinions of others, but those opinions are either conservative, just guard the navy to develop, not easy to go out, basically, the life of a rich man.

This life, Zhao Xin will not choose, he has come to this era, and has the ability to change the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty, if he does not make his own voice, at most, let the Northern Song Dynasty have a better life in the future, but if the economic problems are not solved, maybe a few faint kings will come up, and the shame of Jingkang is still unavoidable.

In the whole direction of development, in fact, China in the 21st century has given the answer.

In the 21st century, there are many well-known Chinese documentaries, for example, they have considerable influence in the world and China, discussing the taste of Chinese food, but if you talk about summary and history, the most famous is only the rise of a great power.

This time-consuming, through a lot of documents, detailed records of the rise and fall of several powerful countries in history, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United States nine countries have risen one after another, and summarized the historical law of the rise of the country.

It stands to reason that the navy is on the island, and the road of maritime hegemony should be chosen, and in the middle, the first four countries are the focus, and Japan can also be used as a reference, but in the end, Zhao Xin chose Germany as the template for the future Ding Navy.
