Money can solve many problems, but status and identity cannot be solved, especially for the era of feudal society, which is clearly classified, can you exchange money for rights, maybe at a certain level, open a big landlord, a rich man, at the bottom, is still very sought after, but higher?

In a higher realm, money is useful, this is a feudal society, not a capitalist society, money is a very important thing, and it can even affect the operation of the court, but it is too far away from buying everything.

Can you exchange money for the throne, even in the Central Dynasty, it is difficult to get even the most basic title, Shen Wansan is one, he almost single-handedly built a Yingtianfu, but in the end, what was waiting for him was exile.

Because in the eyes of the rulers, this threat is too great, and when he can't use a lot of power in the official face, Zhao Xin can only wave the banknote, but for these people with official status, the group Ou Yong that the banknote can play is very limited.

Even if you use all your strength, it only attracts a small number of apprentices, and they are all apprentices who have not been mastered, and it is already good to be able to build a small boat of 200 materials independently.

At this point, Zhao Xin is also very helpless, his influence cannot affect Jiangnan for the time being, the core of the entire shipyard of the Great Song Dynasty is Jiangnan, and on the premise that there is no way to affect it, what can be affected can only be a closer place.

Haizhou and Huainan East Road, slightly related, he used it, seconded more than 20 craftsmen and some craftsmen, among which the ability to build more than 1,000 materials of large ships alone, none of them, at most have some experience, or independently build 800 materials of river boats.

This has been a helpless choice, although Zhao Xin asked for only the most basic manufacturing, to be able to manufacture any ship completely, the rest is to calculate and simply enlarge and copy, perhaps, there are some secret recipes similar to blacksmiths, these secret recipes, for scientific construction methods, the use is not very large.

It's a pity that to form a system, to form a complete and scientific construction factory, relying solely on these masters, the number is still too small, and Zhao Xin's requirements for them are a little too high.

Not only to complete the steel skeleton keel, but also to adjust and change the ship, which is a real sea ship, not a fortune ship of the Great Song Dynasty, which can only rely on the coastline and constantly serve as a springboard offshore sea ship.

Therefore, the Dinghai Shipyard was formed, and now, it is still under intense construction, even if there are many advanced tools, it will take a year or two to put into production.

I am a little anxious, but I can't be in a hurry, the ocean, this is related to the development of the next 1000 years, and it is related to the key to whether it can accommodate such a large population after the cultivation strength of the Northern Song Dynasty is improved.

Land and population, this is an almost eternal topic in any country, and if there is no good solution, it is the foundation of perdition.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it may have been growing slowly, and the population may eventually grow to 120 million, or 130 million.

Under the premise that the land in the north is gradually barren and the floods and droughts under the control of the Xiaoice River are increasing, the number of people who have been reduced simply by natural disasters and the number of people who have died in large-scale epidemics is a very terrible number, which is also the root cause of the difficulty of large-scale population generation.

However, when Zhao Xin arrives in this era, Zhao Xin will gradually change this era, and the resistance to floods and droughts will be stronger, and he will have access to enough food, and even have a large number of doctors, and popularize various health standards.

Because of various accidents, the number of people who eventually die will be greatly reduced, which will cause the population to rise in a short period of time, and the Northern Song Dynasty, which did not have family planning, expanded from 100 million to 1 billion, which may not take thirty or fifty years.

1 billion is already a terrible figure in later generations, and in the whole world, countries with more than 1 billion people, that is, China and India, other countries, are not even a third of this.

But in China in the 11th century, when this population was reached, what should I do when the time comes, and the 9.6 million square kilometers of China in the future will only feed more than a billion people, or in the era when hybrid rice and other food crops have developed in large quantities, what can Zhao Xin do to ensure the consumption of 1 billion people.

While the motherland is great, we must also understand that China's vast land and resources are selective, and some specific things really cannot be regarded as Bo.

Food is a key point aspect, the vast land, can really become arable land, there is really not much,

However, in the vicinity of China, not to mention the north, where is more barren, the cold of winter alone is not acceptable to ordinary people, but to the south, it is really a land of ointment, a paradise given by nature.

The land is fertile, the products are abundant, and the unique situation has raised a large group of lazy people.

That's right, it's lazy, outright lazy, their laziness is not a long character, it's a natural geography.

The influence of geographical conditions on the characteristics of a race is a key to the study of later generations, and in principle, most of the truly excellent races are created by temperate zones.

The four seasons are clearly one aspect, and if you don't work hard, you will be eliminated, which is another promotion point, which is the basis for the rise of temperate people.

Tropics, generally lazy, with food everywhere, and how many people will be very industrious on the premise that they can eat enough even without moving.

As for the cold zone, the advantage of the human race is the physical aspect, the body is strong, which is much higher than the temperate zone, higher than the tropics, but the mainstream of these places is barbarism, but it is difficult to form a fixed civilization.

This is also a characteristic, the reason has been destined since ancient times, the place where people stay, determines the final changes that this race will have.

In the tropics, there is almost no need to labor, lying down, you can eat enough food to fill your stomach, and if you plant a little, you can get the harvest, so that they have the habit of hard and hard work, which is almost impossible.

As for the cold zone, everyone has to fight with heaven and earth from birth, so that they can barely survive, and in the battle of nature, the strong body tempered can be tempered.

But the strength of nature is far from being able to withstand one or two people, maybe a storm of nature is enough to destroy a tribe, and only a very small number of people survive.

Under such natural selection, tribes become the best development, and even if a country is established, it will soon be wiped out in the face of the storm of nature.

Only in the temperate zone, which is not too harsh, civilization can be continued, and it is not very good, it is impossible to lie down, you can be fed, and you must continue to work hard to make life better.

Let a group of lazy natives, natives who have not even developed a little bit of civilization, rule a land of ointment, which is not allowed by Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin believes in nationalism, not the kind of benevolence and morality of Confucianism, the rise of a nation, will inevitably bring the nightmare of another nation, when the Mongolian iron horse swept the whole world, for any other nation, it was a nightmare, that was a dream demon like a killer, but for the Mongolian nation itself, they were not heroes?

On land, as long as thermal weapons are developed, Liao, Jurchen, and even Mongolia will not be the opponents of the Northern Song Dynasty, but in those places, grazing can be used for farming and development, with the scientific and technological level of this era, it is really too difficult, and people will win the sky, and they cannot go against the laws of nature.

Then, the only way is to go south, south, and the whole of Southeast Asia, with only more than 3 million square kilometers of land, which looks similar to the Northern Song Dynasty, but their developable cultivated land area is more than several times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention, the harvest of three crops a year, as well as changeable, rich flora and fauna, these are huge wealth.

They can enrich the resources of the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, once they find rubber trees, steam engines, wheels, everything related to rubber from Southeast Asia, they will be widely used, and a real rubber era will come.

Not to mention the diverse flora and fauna, all kinds of spices, the islands famous for spices, and of course, all kinds of mineral deposits.

Perhaps, Southeast Asia is not the most abundant place of various mineral resources, but the types of mineral resources they have, the taste and reserves of various mineral resources related to the world, are quite high, this is a rich land.

It seems that it is not far, from the southernmost point of Guangzhou, to Southeast Asia, not far, from the mountains of Guangxi, you can go by land, but the best way, in fact, is still sailing.

The charts of these places are ready-made, and even, Zhao Xin has already begun to set up a fleet and started the preliminary work, through the purchase of Arabs, as well as some charts of the big cannibals, to understand everything in Southeast Asia, and to prepare for the future.

If you want to achieve leapfrog development, if you want to form a force outside the consciousness of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ocean is the only choice, and at the same time, if you want to surround the Northern Song Dynasty from the outside, it is also a good choice to solve the Liao State, Jurchen, and even Mongolia, from the sea.

In fact, China has been moving towards the sea very early, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were attempts at ocean transportation, and even in the Tang Dynasty, there were maritime exchanges with Japan and Korea, and there were also ideas to conquer them, but these ideas were not substantially completed.

Now, Zhao Xin's intervention, like the wings of a butterfly, first fanned the Western Xia, and now, it is even more targeted at East Asia and Southeast Asia, these countries are not aware of this at all.

From that moment on, their fate was already doomed, as long as the ocean-going warships of the Navy could be completed, then they would usher in a catastrophe.
