The Song Dynasty is a famous mansion, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the Northern Song Dynasty is different from other dynasties in that the night of the Northern Song Dynasty is still prosperous.

Qingming Shanghe map, painted the beautiful scenery of Bianliang, Tokyo, but also contains a lot of meaning in the night, the ancient capital thousands of years ago, but there is the beautiful scenery of the city that never sleeps, which is also praised by foreign maritime merchants.

I don't know how many huge riches, with immigrants to the Northern Song Dynasty as the United States, many strange surnames, it is these foreign races that are integrated into Chinese surnames.

The reason why there is a city that never sleeps, is the use of candles, the wealth of the Northern Song Dynasty can be seen, in other dynasties, poor scholars do not hesitate to chisel the wall to transmit light, borrow light to read, or an oil lamp, the dim light the size of a bean, the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to make butter candles, not only used by the palace and government, but also used by some people in the city, which is the origin of the city that never sleeps.

If electricity could be invented, the market for electric light would be even greater.

Electricity itself is a physical form of nature, lightning is not said to be a human being, before the birth of human beings, there is, using a magnet to cut magnetic field lines, generating electricity, which is also known to a middle school student, but to achieve him, it is extremely difficult.

Perhaps, Zhao Xin, who has a card system, can simply complete it in the laboratory, and refer to the experience of his predecessors to use a kind of bamboo charcoal as a filament to invent electric lights, but that's all, only small-scale use, there is no way to large-scale.

Electricity, based on the steam age, after another industrial revolution, in the later 20th century, took a century or two to finally pass, and even the accumulated knowledge is all the previous thousands of years.

Zhao Xin is also deeply aware of this, so he did not rush in, just for a lighting, there is no need to use this at all, whether it is petrification, or whaling that will open the ocean age in the future, this lighting problem can be solved.

In later generations, whaling was often criticized as cruel and disrupting the ecological balance.

Whales are mammals that take a long time from birth to adulthood, and adult blue whales, most of which are around 10 years old.

Whales, which took 10 years to grow, were whaled by modern whaling ships, and whale populations declined dramatically when there was an imbalance between production and fishing.

However, in this era, the whole world did not look to the sea, although in Western Europe, the tradition of whaling can be repeated in primitive times, that is, also in the offshore waters of the North Sea, on the few islands that whales must pass through, for the whale population, it has no influence at all.

Whales are full of treasures, but also the greatest gift of the sea, in the future, when the whole of China, has already encountered the Xiaoice climate, food, some shortage, whaling may be the most immediate method, not to mention through whaling, can exercise the navy.

The formation of the navy of a large country is not simple, a few ships are sufficient, simple ships are useful, and some rising stars can quickly overwhelm the first strike.

The navy is a technical, cooperative, and even discipline in all aspects have a unique trade, the future Zhao Xin's navy, in addition to suppressing bandits, only whaling is the most convenient, not only can create a lot of wealth, but also can train the team, why not.

As for the damage of whaling to the whale population, for hundreds of millions of years, it has formed a balance, which is not something that a small Northern Song Dynasty, or even just a primitive whaling ship, can deal with.

The auction of rare treasures was held today, nearly a thousand officials, and in the end, after certain adjustments, it was no longer more than 6 grades, because of the arrival of Han Qi and Ye Qingchen, it was finally set to be more than five grades, don't look at it is just a grade difference, and the number of officials is immediately 10 times less, probably more than 100 people.

The wealthy businessmen have also gone through the diversion, 1,200 people, in the ironware, soda ash and soap fair, one by one, 320 dealers, the dust has settled, an average of each place, for Zhao Xin to provide about 5,000 deposits, simple margin, reached 1.6 million.

Not to mention the order, Zhao Xin's goal was completely achieved, and he even said that he collected a lot of money in advance, solved the problem of building the navy in one fell swoop, and accumulated a lot of funds.

At the same time, Ye Qingchen and Han Qi arrived and also told him the good news, the Daimyo Mansion had laid off twenty or thirty thousand craftsmen and laborers, and there were more in the capital, the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, several forging divisions, plus the forging departments of some special departments, totaling more than 200,000 people, which was acceptable to Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin's eyes lit up, of course he accepted it, and from those masters of the Daimyo's Mansion, he got terrible benefits, a bull Dali, although he had rewarded him with no less than 20,000 yuan of wealth, but the value he created could be said to be a hundred times, or even a thousand times.

Although it is said that most of the value depends on time and is slowly displayed, it should be a lot like Niu Dali's in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chinese, has never lacked talent, but the long feudal period, there is also a unique Confucian culture, so that craftsmen and Gewu, at the bottom, the craftsmanship of craftsmen, is belittled, but still tenaciously moving forward, now with Zhao Xin's platform, will definitely show a different strength.

Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, this is the four kinds of people recognized by Confucianism, but in fact, although Shi Zi is important, compared with agriculture and industry and commerce, at the national level, it is really nothing.

No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life, never said how to be a scholar, perhaps, as a scholar, they are all superiors, they naturally put themselves in the highest position.

Zhao Xin will break this point in the future, as long as the industry, agriculture and businessmen, as long as they have the ability, as long as they can create wealth for the country, then what about giving an official position, and taking out the important position of the official from the monopoly of the scholars, this is the contention of a hundred schools, this is the opening of ten thousand flowers.

Of course, now thinking about what to do so much, 200,000 people, even if there are not a few like Niu Dali, just 200,000 young people, he is willing to accept it.

In the past, just relying on the income of tens of thousands of yuan in Miaojiazhuang, he couldn't afford so many people, but now, there is no problem at all, the money he can spend alone is as high as 7 million yuan, and in the future, there will be a steady stream, that is to say, according to the calculation of 700 yuan of one stone of rice, he can buy 10 million stone of rice.

This is a terrible number, which can provide 10 million people with food and drink for two months, not to mention, to go to Jiangnan, large-scale purchase of rice, the price of rice will be greatly reduced, if a part of the miscellaneous grains are used, the same is true.

If you can afford it, why don't you feed it, these people, where is the burden in the imperial court, here in Zhao Xin, this is not an ordinary peasant, this is a craftsman, even if it is a laborer, it has been a collective life for a period of time, and it is concentrated in the workshop, and they themselves have the base of workers.

People are always the most important, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty is rich is not because of special policies, but because of the population, not a huge country, but it has raised more than 100 million people, and it is the hard-working Chinese people who have created a brilliant Chinese civilization.

It's a pity that this civilization was destroyed due to natural disasters.

That's right, it's not a man-made disaster, it's a natural disaster, some people say, isn't it Jin who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and Mongolia who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty? It's obviously a man-made disaster, but why is it a natural disaster?

In fact, the invasion of the northern nomads is regular, generally speaking, in most cases, it is not for occupation, but for plundering, there is no food for the New Year, and the same is true for robbing the southerners, and there is no money in their hands.

But in the Northern Song Dynasty, under the large-scale war, it was because of natural disasters, even the Beihai Sea, which had never frozen, froze, when the climate dropped, cattle and sheep died in large numbers, and when their survival was threatened by terrible threats, the nomads with knives in their hands and horses under them did not come down to plunder, and they themselves could not survive if they did not plunder.

Internal and external factors are intertwined, which is the saddest moment of the Song Dynasty, but now, there is one more Zhao Xin, not only has a global vision, his eyes are no longer on the Northern Song Dynasty, but on East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even facing the ocean.

The manpower of the Northern Song Dynasty is already abundant enough, but compared with industrialization and assembly line operations in later generations, it is not a little bit worse.

Previously, Zhao Xin only thought that the population of the Dinghai Navy would reach 200,000 first, and then expand after laying a solid foundation.

But the plan is not as fast as the change, after the Huainan East Road disaster, was pushed over three or four hundred thousand, and now, there are hundreds of thousands of craftsmen of all kinds, if you add the Xiang army, and even the families of these craftsmen, maybe a city of more than 2 million will be built.

200,000, and 2 million, this is a completely different starting point, although at the beginning, it may be rushed, even difficult, but there is no problem that money can't solve, as long as you eat these people, like a blacksmith workshop, arrange them to the right positions one by one, the value that can be created is great.

The Northern Song Dynasty is not without money, otherwise, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia would not eat so happily, the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty is about 20 million to 30 million, but the entire annual income is only a tenth of the entire economic value, or even a few tenths, and this money is hidden in the people.

Just looking at 1,200 giant businessmen, bringing 120 million guan, it is conceivable that tens of thousands of workshops can create the value of 30 million guan, hundreds of thousands of people, or even millions of people?

A giant city located in the Northern Song Dynasty and in the location of Lianyungang in the later generations will gradually take shape under Zhao Xin's calligraphy and painting, and this feeling in my heart is completely different.

And science and technology beyond this era, will be here, sprout, generated, developed, when the torrent of industry, impacted the Northern Song Dynasty, the nomads who were still at a lower level, can shake the power of industry, the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, will inevitably change, earth-shaking changes,

To be honest, Zhao Xin even wanted to put aside everything here and devote himself to that change, but he didn't, this auction is still secondary, the key, and the new currency that I thought of yesterday, if these are not solved, even if I go to Dingjun, I must solve it.
