Chapter 852: Population Loss
Han Qi is very powerful, even among the many slaughters of the Renzong Dynasty, he can be regarded as the number one in the ranks, especially now, in the changes of the Northern Song Dynasty, he should be the most suitable existence as a slaughter.
But this is powerful, it is the power of the times, in this era, Han Qi is no worse than anyone else in terms of ability, but the difference between her and Zhao Xin is more that the gap between the pattern and history is not something that can be made up by manpower.
It can be said unceremoniously that Zhao Xin is standing on the shoulders of giants, with a vision beyond the millennium, and also has a thing against the sky, the card system, this card system, in the early stage, can make the development of the Ding Navy faster, in the later stage, it can also erase the gap in technology, as long as it is a chance to complete something, can be replaced by a card system, some key technologies, with it, can achieve leapfrog development.
Peace is right, the current Northern Song Dynasty, can't afford to fight, can't beat the navy, if in the peaceful coexistence, to achieve corner overtaking, this is the most suitable choice, but now, not only not, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Even if you support the 100 factories in the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention these factories, all of them are light industries with the textile industry as the main body, even if there is heavy industry, they are just sand castles, once the sea rises and a wave comes, it will cease to exist.
These factories that are now sent to Beibei are like this, it seems that they are helping the Northern Song Dynasty build a very good industrial system, but in fact, they have no control at all.
I encountered it once before, when there was a problem with the Ding Navy, when the peace talks did not come down, most of the strength of the Ding Navy shrank, and these products purchased from the Ding Navy found that when the machine broke down, it could not be repaired.
In the end, after negotiation, the Navy agreed, to carry out a certain amount of systematic training for some workers, hoping to be able to simple maintenance, and even production, these are written into the terms, and even the Navy will be completed in advance, among the 100 factories, the next few are factories that manufacture parts and maintenance, and 100 factories can be fixed-point matching.
The purpose of the Dinghai Navy is very simple, that is, in order to buy enough time to achieve large-scale acquisition of the population, in the middle, not only made concessions in the factory, but even promised that it will gradually decrease, and the production to the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the Dinghai currency, will gradually withdraw from the market of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty, this was a great kindness, but in fact, these practices of the Dinghai Navy were not regarded as harboring evil intentions, but they also focused on them.
Even if it is to help the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not unconditional help, the Northern Song Dynasty does not have the foundation for its rise, in a sense, even if it is really all the principles and tell the Northern Song Dynasty as they are, the Northern Song Dynasty does not want to learn, this is the overall perception, even if the Northern Song Dynasty is aware of the advantages of science and technology, as long as science and technology are not valued as a imperial examination, there is no way to popularize science and technology.
Let people come to train, but there is no compulsion, will it come back then, just like the early 80s, China's tide of going abroad, going out, a few coming back, the tide of returning to China after the 21st century, is not used as a criterion for judging, because at that time China was the world's fastest growing heart industry, in just 30 years to make up for the gap with developed countries, there are more opportunities, there are more possibilities, this is the cluster of their return, if you say, this era of China, or the same as India in the 21st century, no chance, in the dirty mess, will you come back? Impossible.
The gap between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Dinghai Navy is even greater than that between China and the United States in the early 80s, and the Northern Song Dynasty is still under the premise of large-scale handicraft factories, and the Dinghai Navy has popularized industrialization, more reasonable policies, and some guarantees in various aspects.
Zhao Xin did not follow the so-called liberal capitalism, which cannot be said to be bad, but history has proved its limitations, and Zhao Xin followed some kind of China that seems to be later in China, and has absorbed some other things.
The freedom of the small scale and the bottom, coupled with state capitalism and macro-control, is coordinated in both large and small aspects, plus Zhao Xin's card system, which provides a level of science and technology that exceeds the level of this era, and in the rapid development, the future of the navy will be better.
When the navy was fixed, the only problem was that the territory of the navy was too small, only more than 300 square kilometers, and no matter how many measures were taken, there was no way to pave it.
For example, in terms of steel, Dinghai already has a production capacity of more than 5 million tons, but in the future, industrialization and large-scale construction of cities, it is simply not enough, but under the popularization of steel technology, as long as there is enough land and raw materials, this output will gradually rise, when one by one factories are copied, in the Northeast, at least more than 20 large steel plants, according to a 3 million tons, that is, 60 million tons of output, this output, converted to, catty, I'm afraid it's also higher than the previous Northern Song Dynasty.
Similarly, because of the expansion of the chassis, in the past, because of the relationship between the chassis and the exchange with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Dinghai Navy rarely got involved in light industry, because it was not very cost-effective, but now after becoming a country, some systematic work needs to be laid out, and this light industry is also equally important.
In the future, the land of the entire Liao country, not to mention the grassland, and other places, will become a paradise, from the northeast, the Liaodong Peninsula, and even spread to North Korea, there was no way before, because it was too far, but it plundered the people near Kaicheng, and now, it is time for them to be included in it, the iron ore in the north of North Korea, and some other resources and population, are also good income,
Time is the most terrible thing, the Northern Song Dynasty seems to have completed the peace, and even compared it with the Lanyuan Alliance, the Lanyuan Alliance at that time could not be wrong, if it were not for the fact that there was no such a-stirring stick as the Western Xia, so that the Northern Song Dynasty lost blood on a large scale, in the Renzong Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty could have achieved better development, and even crossed the Liao State to a certain extent.
Now, the same example is placed in front of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, this is another change, even if the Northern Song Dynasty plugs in the speed, it cannot be faster than the development of the Ding Navy.
When the Dinghai Navy develops at a conventional speed, whether it is national strength, population, or influence in all aspects, there will be changes, and this flow will always be to the Dinghai Navy, and when the time comes, even if the Northern Song Dynasty wants to stop it, there is no way to stop it, not to mention, the Northern Song Dynasty may not be able to think of it.
In a not long period of time, the Dinghai Navy itself is much stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty, but there are still many projects that are inferior to the Northern Song Dynasty, such as population, such as territory, these weaknesses will also be gradually, one project after another surpasses the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Northern Song Dynasty sees the problem, it is no longer able to resist.
The emergence of thermal weapons, how long has it been, under the help of Zhao Xin's seedlings, even more efficient propellants and explosives are in the process of research, and a little bit of appearance, coupled with the theory of machine guns, has also been explained,
In fact, after the advent of metal fixed ammunition and the emergence of machine guns, there is no problem, at least, you can use multiple barrels, Zhao Xin has watched so many film and television dramas, not to mention anything else, the water-cooled Makqin, and the air-cooled multi-barreled, these are all seen, draw graphics, and let them study it,
Artillery is the king of land warfare, but it can only play the role of oppression, the real harvest is the machine gun, that is, after the appearance of the machine gun, the number of people is no longer an advantage, in front of a simple defense and high ground, 2 people against 2 regiments, this becomes possible, attack, will be under the metal storm, be torn to pieces, this is not a dream, but really exists.
The weapon of mass destruction is to be done, but whether it should be applied to the war or not, it depends on the situation, the population is a resource, in the feudal society, this is a disadvantage, in the industrialized society, this time become a part of the whole society, not only can produce domestic demand, but also can continue to produce all kinds of things, and finally, let the productive forces of the whole society, begin to rise, continue to develop and enhance.
The leading technology has brought about the crushing of the military, the feudal army crushed by the modern army, and the modern army crushed the modern army, which is not only the difference in training methods and beliefs, but also the existence of strong technical indicators.
Within 10 years, there was no conflict and war between the Liao State and the Ding Navy, and even because of the interconnection, the railways connecting the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, the routes were repaired one by one, and even some of the advanced technology of the Ding Navy could also quickly fall to the Northern Song Dynasty, and from the ninth year of Qingli, the annual labor output of about 4 million yuan can obtain more than 800 million labor dispatch fees, and this additional expenditure has also promoted the development of the Northern Song Dynasty in all aspects, which also made the Northern Song Dynasty ignore. After that, the population decreased by up to 8 million per year,
This is 8 million after deducting a large number of births, and the actual loss is at least about 11 million.
Five years later, a large amount of land became barren because of the loss of personnel, and the pressure of land annexation, which had been huge, was now much reduced, and the price of land began to drop dramatically.
This is a good thing for the former Northern Song Dynasty, all dynasties, in the face of the land problem, the core is the land annexation, can not completely deal with the land annexation, for the whole Northern Song Dynasty, is a huge problem, there is not enough land, there is no food, the whole fundamentals, there will be huge problems,
Now that this problem has been solved, even because of the development of industry and commerce, everyone can find work, there are fewer unemployed and poor, and another problem has arisen, and the population has also decreased.
In the next 5 years, the population of the Northern Song Dynasty has decreased from about 90 million to 60 million, which seems to be not much, but it has been reduced from 120 million to the present, a decrease of about 5 percent, some remote, or less important areas, the population continues to decrease, and a large number of county towns have reduced their grades, from the upper county, to the middle, to the bottom, and even some closer ones, began to merge, and similarly, the decrease in population has also brought about a decrease in food production, although this range is not large.
This is not caused by the efforts of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the changes made by the Dinghai Navy, which provided a large number of advanced machinery that can be used on a large scale, for example, the use of 10 horses, or 10 cows of huge machinery, these for some large landowners who occupy a huge amount of land, the production efficiency has increased a lot, in general, the reduction is not much, only about 10%, and even this reduction is also because of the cultivation of a large number of cash crops, occupying the land of grain, after all, the scientific means of controlling the land,
Coupled with the various varieties of the Dinghai Navy, these are superimposed together, and they have become the current yield per mu in the Northern Song Dynasty, with an average of more than 7 stones, which is almost more than twice as much as before, even if the land for planting has decreased a lot, the grain output has not been greatly reduced.
The population of the Northern Song Dynasty decreased, and the consumption was also reduced, coupled with the products transported from the Dinghai Navy, such as seafood, all kinds of seafood caught from the seawater, this amount is still very large, to Jeju Island and Hokkaido nearby, the annual output is almost more than 50 million tons of seafood, these, become a necessary supplement to food, the same, a large number of alfalfa planting on the grassland, but also let the aquaculture industry develop a lot, whether it is the northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty, or the Mongolian steppe of the Dinghai Navy, The volume of various agricultural and sideline products has surged.
This is also the fundamental reason why the contradiction is not highlighted, but some smart people have already seen the problem, the loss of a large number of people, the Northern Song Dynasty has lost the biggest foundation, anything, can be derived from the population, and finally derived, less enough population, whether it is soldiers, land, or even the creation of wealth, there will be a series of problems.
Population, which once caused a headache for the Northern Song Dynasty and was also the biggest confidence of the Northern Song Dynasty, has now become the advantage of the Dinghai Navy.
The Northern Song Dynasty continued to lose its population, but the Dingjun Navy was crazy to gain, according to the current rate, it may be within 5 years, the population will exceed 100 million, this huge population, still maintains a strong growth rate, about 7% annualized growth rate, that is to say, at least 7 million people will grow in a year, and it will be the same in 10 years.
The vast territory can accommodate a huge population, a huge amount of production, and a variety of food resources, so that the development of the Ding Navy is more rapid, time, every minute and every second, is increasing the strength of the Ding Navy, on the contrary, the Northern Song Dynasty is gradually declining, this decline, will not be able to change, and keep speeding forward.
Once this trend is formed, even if it is a talent who is against the sky, it cannot be reversed, and even at this time, giving the Northern Song Dynasty a traverser will not be affected, because the snowball of population and industry has begun to roll, defeating the Northern Song Dynasty without warning, and at that time, the advantages of the navy in all aspects may be dozens of times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, or even hundreds of times, such a huge advantage, as long as Zhao Xin does not die by himself, there will be no problem.
