Chapter 871: Peaceful Evolution
The purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty has not been achieved, it is too difficult and too difficult to achieve his goal, all the railways in the Northern Song Dynasty, the thorough steam transformation, not to mention whether it can be achieved, whether the Northern Song Dynasty has the ability to undertake such a large-scale transformation, even if it is a steam locomotive, there are some shortcomings.
In itself, the Northern Song Dynasty did not achieve it at all, but the appearance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was like a slap in the face to a sweet date, and it also got the promise of two railways, and at the same time, these two railways will also be set up by the navy to help build the whole process as soon as possible.
Under the premise that the Northern Song Dynasty built a large number of railways, I thought that I had surpassed the Dinghai Navy in the technology of building railways, but after seeing the Dinghai Navy build the railway from Shenyang to Bianliang, I knew that the real professional was the Dinghai Navy.
Professional construction team, more excellent machinery and equipment, a team of less than 500 people, in terms of efficiency, than the Northern Song Dynasty used 10 times, or even more manpower, the efficiency is faster.
These two railways are very long, maybe not as good as the Shenyang to Bianliang, but they are about the same, under the premise that the construction team of the Dinghai Navy will take over the whole thing, it is expected that it will be opened to traffic in about half a year.
It is not a comprehensive transformation of all the railways of the Northern Song Dynasty, but two more railways of more than 1,000 kilometers have been obtained, which is not bad, but also stronger than nothing, these two places, one in the northwest and one in the southeast, are also densely populated and rich in products, once they are connected, they are also very important for the development of the local area.
Linking all the state capitals of this line by rail will play a role in integration and driving, and at that time, as long as there is a line, connected to Bianliang, a preliminary steam railway network can be formed.
The previous appeal, although it was not satisfied, but it met such a part, itself, after the development of Gyeonggi, the next is Jingzhao and Lianghuai, I didn't expect that the Dinghai Navy was considered, and even Han Qi was still thinking about whether to try again after the New Year, maybe, there will be two more railways.
If Han Qi knew the original words of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dinghai Navy, I am afraid that he would be dizzy, these two railways, the area of passage, occupy about 20% of the population of the Northern Song Dynasty, once it is through, in addition to the import and export of various materials is more convenient, it is equivalent to adding two more exits, the people around these two places, it is convenient to travel, and the immigrants in these places of the Dinghai Navy will be much more convenient to return to their hometowns, and it will be easier to spread the situation of the Dinghai Navy.
The railway from Lianghuai to Zhuojun will be connected with the railway from Shenyang Bianliang, but he runs through Lianghuai, Shandong, and even parts of Hebei, such a densely populated place.
The other one, it is even more incredible, with the development of the Northern Song Dynasty, more in Henan and Jiangnan development, but Jingzhao, the former land of Longxing, also has a considerable population, here, there is no channel, directly from Jingzhao to Shanxi, just go out of the Mongolian steppe.
Even Bianliang didn't realize the problem of population, let alone here, once it was connected, the population loss could be said to be very terrible, because these railways were basically in the hands of the Dinghai Navy, and as long as you wanted, a large number of people could be sent out every day.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, when there was no border inspection, no national borders and ports, I didn't even realize how important the population was to the country.
When a country with advanced productive forces and a lot of money is angry about another country, and he has not yet reacted, this railway will become a lifeline, a lifeline for immigration, and countless people will go through this road to find a new life, and the remaining Northern Song Dynasty will become a chicken feather.
Not to mention the scattered trains, spontaneously going to the Dinghai Navy, simply in the dense trains, casually inserting a few trains, for the overall management of the railway is controlled by the Dinghai Navy, it is simply a breeze.
The thinking of the Northern Song Dynasty is still stuck in the past, the common people have no road guide, there is no way to travel, but in the north of Bianliang, as long as they can reach the vicinity of the railway, there is no problem, the navy will arrange for them to leave, and the high efficiency of the railway, one day to go out, in the past may be a year or two, will lose a considerable number of people, now, after the railway is through, it will not take long, two or three months is very terrible.
Just like the 3 million labor exports organized by the Dinghai Navy in the ninth year of Qingli, the entire transfer process took only a month, and if it was calculated according to 3 million people a month, it might take a year or two for the population of the Northern Song Dynasty to run out.
Steam train, with a strong power, a train, at least can accommodate more than 2,000 people, 10 times a day, this is 20,000 people, 365 days a year, this is how much.
Before, there was only one road from Shenyang to Bianliang, but now, it has increased by 2, from three directions, not to mention the triple, in Bianliang this railway, under the nose of the Northern Song Dynasty, dare to do something, put it in the other two directions, I am afraid it will be more unscrupulous.
In fact, there are many directions in the Dinghai Navy, in the south, the artery is the Yangtze River, and there are large tributaries above the Yangtze River, and the huge transportation force of the Dinghai Navy is stuffed into some people, which is no problem at all, and the entire south, including these areas south of the Huai River, except for a small part, is in accordance with the bright side, starting from Bianliang and taking the railway, and the rest are all water transportation.
Compared with the train is still covered, water transportation is more presumptuous, as long as it arrives at the wharf, whether it is the wharf of the Yangtze River or the wharf of various rivers, as long as it can enter the Yangtze River water system, there is no problem.
Finally, when the boat goes to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, you can drive a galleon, go directly to the galleon, and go directly to the sea in the downstream to determine the power of the navy, you don't have to worry about blocking it at all, and you can't stop it, once you enter the sea, it is like a dragon entering the water.
Not to mention that the Northern Song Dynasty has not discovered such a situation, even if it is discovered, can it be stopped, this is a conspiracy, not a so-called conspiracy, everyone has the right to live a good life and live a happy life.
The relatives of the workers, relatives, and even relatives who have been close to their hometowns, after returning to their hometowns again and again, put practical examples to prove that Dinghai is really a good place, a place that can change a lifetime, once do not believe, twice do not believe, what is really in front of you, the other party completely changes everything, can you still not believe it?
The population loss in the ninth year of Qingli is not obvious, and in the tenth year of Qingli, a whole year, more than 7 million people have been continuously lost, plus migrant workers, almost a loss of 10 million, which sounds inconspicuous, you know, the Liao country is at its peak, the population is about 10 million, and the maximum is not more than 15,000, that is to say, in one year, the loss of a Liao country's population.
This is not the final result, when one east and one west, two railways are connected, and there are three passages to go out, the huge plan that the Ding Navy has prepared for two years has finally begun, and this plan was named Peaceful Evolution by Zhao Xin's evil taste.
This peaceful evolution, not propaganda and transformation, let the country itself start chaos, this is not what Zhao Xin wants to see, if you want to unify China, it is enough to determine the strength of the navy, there is no need for more than 600,000 troops, divided into 3 aspects, steady and steady, what can the Northern Song Dynasty resist the modern army with muskets and artillery, how many people can't fill in.
Instead of choosing armed reunification, but the current method of slow fire and simmering, to ensure the stability and calm of the Northern Song Dynasty, the use of the means of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, the direction is the population of the Northern Song Dynasty, once the large-scale loss of population, in terms of strength, there is a big difference in the premise, how can the Northern Song Dynasty do it, its own strength is poor, and it has lost the most basic population, when the population is really reduced to one or two million, the Northern Song Dynasty itself will be detached.
No one found out about this, of course, it had something to do with the unpleasant loss of population, but the news about the Dinghai Navy and the new happy country in the north began to spread rapidly among the lower levels of the Northern Song Dynasty, and gradually, there were some people who spontaneously wanted to work, and these people were even sent out by officials of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Spontaneous personnel, they do not have the ability to reach the Dinghai Navy, but looking for propaganda officials, the officials used to use the method of apportionment, using three draws of one, or four draws of one, and now, there are those who take the initiative, of course, regardless of this, and send them directly, and they can also make a lot of money.
Time passed slowly, another year passed, Qingli ten years, which was equally important to the Northern Song Dynasty and the Dinghai Navy, passed smoothly, this year, both sides have achieved tremendous development, in the middle, even with the development of the Northern Song Dynasty faster, the whole situation is completely different.
The reason is very simple, from an ordinary feudal kingdom to a kingdom with initial industry, and at the same time, relying on the management fees of migrant workers, there are hundreds of millions of funds, and the financial income of the entire Northern Song Dynasty has skyrocketed more than ten times, which will not be owned in any previous period, and the most important thing is that the Northern Song Dynasty is still under the large-scale growth of financial figures, and it is hundreds of times compared with the income of the four years of Qingli when the law was changed a few years ago.
It seems that the center of the entire Northern Song Dynasty has money, large-scale projects have been opened one after another, the economic prosperity index of the entire Northern Song Dynasty has skyrocketed, the salaries of simple officials have risen several times, and at the same time, some fixed personnel have also continued to increase, and the bureaucratic team that had been a headache in the Northern Song Dynasty has no problem anymore.
Money can solve most of the problems, before the problem of the Northern Song Dynasty, to be exact, should be the problem of income and expenditure are not equal, whether it is the official team of the Northern Song Dynasty, or the equipment of the forbidden army and the box army, can be regarded as relatively advanced, 800,000 forbidden army, put in a good financial situation, what is this, but it has become a heavy burden of the Northern Song Dynasty, until the fourth year of Qingli, Zhao Xin and the Ding Navy were born, which completely solved this problem.
Comparatively speaking, the Dinghai Navy is also developing rapidly, but the pace of development is not very fast, because the volume of the Dinghai Navy is already very huge, under such a huge volume, not to mention several times, even if it is a percent, or even a point, it will completely explode the economic growth of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, at this time, it is slowly accumulating strength.
Some system, science and technology, and even industrial changes are imperceptible, gradually accumulating, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, this pace is not very slow, but compared with the sudden changes of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not a little bit worse.
To be precise, the Northern Song Dynasty achieved such a huge development with the full support of the Dinghai Navy, and a management fee could create more than 4 times the annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the management fee of 600 million guan was much more than the income of any aspect of the Northern Song Dynasty, even more than 100 factories could not hit such a degree.
Why is this happening, is Zhao Xin's kindness, or Zhao Xin's relief for Renzong, it's not, peaceful evolution has been carried out to a critical moment, the Spring Festival of the tenth year of Qingli, the Dinghai Navy has been prepared for a long time, and the Spring Festival has been opened 1 month in advance.
In one year, not only three railways were completed, but also double and triple lines were laid for the busiest and critical railways in Shenyang and Bianliang, that is, in the original state, the entire traffic capacity was increased by more than three times.
At the same time, a large number of steam locomotives have been mobilized, which has greatly played the role of this railway, even if it is because there is no large-scale planting of rubber, only through the extraction of rubber-containing plants such as eucommia, the yield is fixed, and the extraction efficiency was relatively low before, but now, it is very different.
Dingjun's level of scientific and technological development, far from the Northern Song Dynasty can be compared, some substantial temptation, coupled with their own efforts and investment, on the cultivation and extraction of Eucommia ulmoides gum, has made a considerable breakthrough, some advanced extraction technology, can make his extraction efficiency increased by more than 5 times, which from the side, increased the output of rubber.
Eucommia ulmoides in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are more planting, coupled with the Dinghai Navy's urgent planting and grafting, may not be able to compare with rubber trees, but can also support a small-scale rubber industry, may not be able to expand to all aspects of production and life on a large scale, simply the use of rubber in the steam engine, is already enough.
This change, in October of the tenth year of Qingli, the production speed of the steam engine, began to skyrocket, with a monthly increase of 30%, in a winter, increased several times, the train locomotive is also the focus, mass production of train locomotives, not only spread the entire land of the Ding Navy, but also to the Northern Song Dynasty to provide, in the three new railway lines, no longer from the Ding Navy transfer of the locomotive, they themselves also have a part of the fixed locomotive.
This Spring Festival is also the time for the start of the peaceful evolution plan, and for this purpose, the Dinghai Navy has made all-round preparations, and the earliest preparations even began a year ago.
