Chapter 688: The Seventh Year of Qingli

The railway occupies a huge amount of funds, not only the financial funds of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a large number of other powerful funds, which are almost forty or fifty million yuan, which basically includes the financial funds of the Northern Song Dynasty and the big family.

However, compared with the funds of the big families chasing profits, not all the money of the three divisions of the Northern Song Dynasty was invested in the construction of the railway.

Although the construction of the railway is important and the profits are quite lucrative, the construction of the railway is not all, the benefits are only one aspect, and for the three divisions, there are more important things in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The few remaining funds were not wasted and invested in agricultural production, or agricultural reform to be precise.

Dinghai has already achieved a doubling of grain yield per mu in the northwest, although there is a relationship between farmland and water conservancy, but more is improved seeds and fertilizers, and reasonable planting methods are also the key to increasing the yield per mu.

The Northwest itself belongs to the newly occupied land, and the owners of this land, or the Western Xia magnates, have long been killed in the battle of Liaoxia, or, the ordinary people who were captured, those people are basically at the bottom, and they can't even guarantee their own safety, let alone the land.

The unique environment of the Northwest makes the Northwest almost a piece of white paper, and it is always easier to write and write on this white paper than on a paper full of various patterns, and therefore, it produces a very amazing effect.

Not to mention anything else, most of the 3,000 acres of land are newly opened land, and the average yield per mu of such land has reached 4.5 stones, which is too unscientific.

4.5 stones, it doesn't sound like much, converted into the data of later generations, it is probably more than 400 catties, not to mention tons of grain fields, even if it is an ordinary output, it is enough to crush them.

However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, at a time when the agricultural foundation was still in a state of ignorance, and most of them relied on the sky for food, this was simply an unimaginable achievement.

You know, even in places where agriculture is more developed, after years of cultivation, the land is divided into different types, the best paddy field, always the most expensive, but also the least, the average yield per mu can reach more than 3 stone, the same, after two seasons, can reach more than 5 stone, which is a very amazing number.

Ancient farmland water conservancy is not complete, coupled with some unique reasons, the real guarantee can be the best paddy field, almost very little, these will also become the key to family inheritance, in some family problems, the first consideration, often the sale of the lower field, the best paddy field, that is in despair, or complete dilapidated time of choice.

The middle field is always the most of all the land, the middle field can also bear, two seasons, maybe the harvest is about 3 stones, the field is not generally bad, unless it is really unbearable, or only the field, otherwise the average farmer will casually get a lot, an acre of land to collect dozens of catties are considered normal.

But even if they do it with their hearts, their output will be more than one and a half stones, and this kind of output is really not ordinary.

In the northwest, it can average 4.5 stones, which may have the effect of farmland water conservancy, but the planting method and some of the technologies used in it are the key.

For the Northern Song Dynasty, the largest number is always the middle and lower fields, especially in the south, under the premise that water is not a problem, fertilizer and planting methods are particularly important, not to mention anything else, as long as the yield per mu can be increased a little bit, the benefits for the entire Northern Song Dynasty are huge.

Even now, the grain production of the Northern Song Dynasty has stepped up a few steps, but for the Northern Song Dynasty, no one will think that there is too much grain, the more grain, the better, the more grain, the more stable.

The land is in the hands of the people, although most of them are big families and landlords, but these people are definitely the masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, even if one thing is really good, it also needs certain benefits.

This button can't be put down, and the Northern Song Dynasty government won't give them more benefits, because this is a bottomless pit, and even in some cases, they are given benefits, and I don't know how much of this benefit can be implemented.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no money, and most of the money that was easily squeezed out would support some farmland water conservancy construction, just like Ye Qingchen, after getting enough funds from Zhao Xin, he directly invested in the northern farmland water conservancy construction.

The most important thing is that this is a one-time thing, and the repair of farmland and water conservancy can at least last for a long time, such as a few years, and the same is a relief for natural disasters.

Now, the construction of water conservancy projects, to a certain extent, and then built, there is not much benefit, but the cost is huge, in this case, the money can be invested in the field of subsidies, this field must be deliberately controlled, for example, more on the bottom of the body.

Supporting and supporting the people at the bottom, one acre of land does not need more, the appearance of dozens of texts, can produce results, 2 million guan, can support at least 40 million acres of land, even if these land, can increase the production of half stone, for the entire Northern Song Dynasty, it is also a promotion.

Of course, according to the data of the northwest, for Ueda, the improvement may not be obvious, and it is okay for Nakata to raise 1 stone and Shimoda to 1 stone and a half, so the improvement is very obvious.

If the entire Northern Song Dynasty, more than 900 million mu of land, can reach the output of the northwest, the grain output of the entire Northern Song Dynasty will rise to a terrible height, not now, the average yield per mu, I am afraid that it is not even 2 stone, and the grain has become a constraint in the Northern Song Dynasty for a long time.

The plan that should not appear in this time period of the Northern Song Dynasty at all was carried forward by the three divisions, not to mention that the three divisions still have a heavy amount of funds, even if there is not, concentrate the wealth of the entire country, use it for the time difference, and invest in large-scale construction, which is also obvious for the improvement of the whole country, which is the routine of later generations.

Historically, this is what China in the liberation of China, for a long time, using the scissors gap between industry and agriculture, with the help of agriculture to subsidize industry, and then concentrating funds to open industry, and improving the entire China's basic industry, laying a good foundation for the future.

The Northern Song Dynasty did this passively and did not realize this, but in fact, in the following time, the development of the Northern Song Dynasty was not slow at all, and it did not enter stagnation because of the dumping of the Dinghai Navy.

This has a lot to do with the fact that the Northern Song Dynasty itself was relatively open, and industry and commerce were very developed.

High-speed development, brought about a surge in income, all aspects of the society are relatively stable, the bottom of the people can not live on, gradually by the higher conditions of the navy to attract, as long as they are willing to work, there is a bite to eat, and the upper class, as long as hard work will have a benefit, social contradictions began to ease, because of the land annexation and the problems also alleviated, especially the recovery of Youzhou, to the people of the Northern Song Dynasty brought a huge sense of achievement, before, like the dream of the demon of Liao, was defeated, The Northern Song Dynasty became the number one power in the whole of East Asia.

The changes brought about by this are very huge, whether it is from the substantial benefits, or from the sense of achievement and national satisfaction, the Northern Song Dynasty is good, the social contradictions have been significantly changed, plus some good management in the control of the court, the whole court is developing in a better direction.

This momentum of development has been continuing, after the three divisions made reports and plans to prepare for better development next year, many smart officials have realized which aspect is more suitable for the future.

Time, just so quickly passed, from the high-rise to the local, the voice of the entire Northern Song Dynasty mainstream is construction, whether it is farmland water conservancy construction, or the construction of various railways, in short, as long as you get one, the development of the place is huge, and the increase in wealth, but also bring about the continued prosperity of commerce, which is the best of both worlds.

When the seventh year of Qingli came, the situation in all aspects of the Northern Song Dynasty was very good, a large amount of money was invested in it, and it showed the effect, the railway because of the construction of the relationship, has not yet appeared, but the previous railway, plus the investment in agriculture, has achieved initial results, the north and northwest, a large number of new land, resulting in a surge in income, these have promoted all aspects of the Northern Song Dynasty to improve, there is money to do things, no need to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, do not need 8 caps to cover 10 bottles, even if it is some mediocrity, can also be governed with ease, not to mention, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty are basically above the level.

At this moment of rapid development, it turned out that the more frequent appearance of the Ding Navy, but gradually disappeared in the mainstream of vision, although all aspects of life, are inseparable from the products of the Ding Navy, but replicas, as well as local investment, gradually appeared, began to encroach on the market of the Ding Navy, and the Ding Navy has not been as good as before to control all the products on the market.

Is it that the navy has been weakened, or that the navy has been restricted in all aspects, no, the navy has actually developed well, but it has been purposefully contracted.

For these products, Dingjun, which originally occupied the market, gradually opened up the market, which does not mean that Dingjun's profits are declining.

In the most initial stage of industrialization, some of the simplest industries have become an inevitable choice, because at the beginning, there was such a traverser as Zhao Xin in the Dinghai Navy, who was very clear about the development of everything, but it must also be built step by step, bit by bit, and finally it can produce results.

If you rely on Zhao Xin alone, even if he is the Monkey King with three heads and six arms, don't think about doing everything well.

As long as the theories of later generations are used, some assembly lines, or slightly processed machines, these can obtain huge benefits, and even in a sense, the efficiency can be greatly improved by pooling people together and replacing small farmers with factories.

However, with the upgrading of the industry, especially the gradual deepening of machinery manufacturing and heavy industry, such a method is no longer suitable and is easy to be copied, because a large number of products are produced, and their own profits have begun to decline.

There are countless merchants who can improve efficiency and obtain huge benefits, and there is no need to be entangled in these aspects.

From the initial simple machinery to the later complex machinery, Dingjun gradually began to upgrade the industry from simple commodity production, mainly to improve production efficiency, with less time, lower cost, to produce these products.

The emergence of a large number of more advanced machinery, some of the most basic mechanical products, began to be eliminated, and through a certain channel, flowed into the Northern Song Dynasty, giving birth to the industrial manufacturing and industrial production of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The value created by the production of a piece of machinery and equipment may be hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary commodities, while the primary industrial products, under the premise of greater output and higher efficiency of the same machinery, begin to reduce profits.

This is also the inevitable law of production development, in later generations, developed countries to transfer production capacity, first of all, the Asian tigers, after that, is the mainland, in the 21st century, with the rapid development of China's economy, under the premise of gradual improvement in wages and all aspects, and began to transfer outward.

In itself, this is not the right trajectory, after the start of the Industrial Revolution, it may take a hundred years before there can be a shift, and in the beginning, the leaders of the Industrial Revolution generally clung to these technologies in their hands, because these technologies will create super-profits for them.

Patents, it seems that they also appeared with this development, initially, not for dissemination, but to protect, to ensure the rights of the pioneers, to a certain extent, to delay the entire process of promotion.

As long as there is one aspect, there is a breakthrough development, for the development of the entire navy, it is revolutionary, which can be seen from all kinds of machines, don't look at only two or three years, the various products of the navy, at least six or seven generations have been updated, sometimes, a new machine, it took 3 months, it was replaced, which in later generations, this is a huge waste, but in the case of the navy, This is a very normal thing.

This is the Dinghai Navy, this is the Northern Song Special Economic Zone that has developed by leaps and bounds, and its development is not something that can be judged by common sense, and it has huge potential for development.
