Chapter 696: The End of the Seventh Year of the Qingli Calendar
The winter in the north is really thousands of miles of ice and snow, and Vladivostok is slightly better, because of its proximity to the ocean, although there are currents from the Arctic Ocean, which are colder than those in lower latitudes, but compared with the inland of the same dimension, it is much warmer.
A large number of soldiers and civilians shrank, and under the insulation of the buildings, enough fuel was added, although it is said that these fuels were dug out from the interior and transported to Haizhou by land, and then transported to Vladivostok through Haizhou, but compared to firewood, it was much better.
Similarly, although Vladivostok has only been obtained for a short time, it has already been produced, and a large amount of wood from the Northeast has become his unique product.
Compared with the Chinese mainland, the forest cover here is very vast, especially near the ocean, because the precipitation is enough, not the traditional grassland climate, is a forest climate, large areas of primeval forest, so that everyone feels good.
Ding Navy is affected by wood, it is already very large, there is not enough wood, a large number of shipyards, there is no way to operate at full capacity, can only build some small ships, these are all decades, even hundreds of years of wood, these wood, may not be suitable for ship materials, but with these wood, plus suitable for ship materials, Ding Navy's shipbuilding start-up can be increased a lot.
The most important thing is that the ship is not empty, this is the key.
Before, the huge fleet of ships transported enough supplies to Vladivostok, but when they went back, they brought some seizures and people at most, this is a barren land, or an uncivilized place, and what good things are there.
In this case, it is equivalent to spending two trips and transporting things over once, although for Ding Haijun, he has a lot of money, he is not afraid of this, and he also gives it, compared with the land, these wealth are nothing.
But now, the development of timber, to a certain extent, makes the utilization rate of these ships quite high, can save costs, and can also bring back more raw materials for Ding Haijun, why not.
When Ding Haijun came to Vladivostok, Zhao Xin already knew that in Siberia, in the entire northeast, forest resources are unusually rich, large tracts of primeval forests, but grasslands and flatlands, are a few, in this case, as long as you leave Vladivostok for twenty or thirty miles, you can see a large number of trees, suitable for ship materials abound.
Later generations of Russia are famous for this kind of high-quality timber, which has always been an important resource for Russia's exports, and a considerable part of it has been sent to China.
After the initial stabilization of the surroundings, 12 timber processing factories were opened in the closest place to the Ding Navy, and a large amount of timber could be easily cut down with various mechanized and semi-mechanized cutting tools of the Ding Navy.
Cutting is always easier than planting, and the various tools of the Ding Navy are also quite efficient, plus some transportation tools, it may not be possible to fill all the transport ships, but it is enough to fill some of them.
A large amount of pine wood from the northeast, as well as various other timbers, were sent to the Ding Navy after they were sent to the Ding Navy, and perhaps after a month or two, they could all be turned into various ships, continuously increasing the transportation capacity of the Ding Navy.
If the Ding Navy does not set foot in the mainland, Ryukyu, Jeju Island and Hokkaido alone, this capacity is basically enough, but once it sets foot in the mainland, for a long time, the demand for capacity will never end.
After the onset of winter, after several successive fleets were transported, Zhao Xin also came to Vladivostok.
To tell the truth, Vladivostok has a different meaning in Zhao Xin's heart, this city occupied by Russia and left China for a long time, at this time period, at this time, returned to his hands, standing on the fortress of Vladivostok, looking at the endless snowfield, on the other side, is the blue water.
Vladivostok, as the port of the highest dimension in the near Far East, is known as an ice-free port, but there is still a freezing period of about 110 days every year, but compared to those ports at higher latitudes, this freezing is not thorough, generally starting from December, to March of the following year, of which from December to March, the freezing is very light, there is an icebreaker, you can open a sea lane.
When Zhao Xin arrived, the sea water had not yet frozen, and when he left after half a month, it was only slightly frozen, as long as the icebreaker drove dozens of kilometers and entered the deep sea, there was no frozen.
Zhao Xin not only inspected the entire Vladivostok, but also looked at the 12 satellite cities, and saw that everything was very good, and when the cold winter came, the soldiers and civilians of Vladivostok did not stop, and they were always doing work, producing a large number of various materials to ensure that the efficiency was high enough.
As long as this winter is over, the foundation for Vladivostok will be more solid, and it is expected that the plan for the beginning of spring next year will be carried out more smoothly.
Zhao Xin didn't stay in Vladivostok for a long time, the main purpose of his coming was to boost morale, you know, nearly a million people, all stayed here, or in the cold winter, the winter in the northeast, at least five months, into October, until March and April of the following year.
In the cold winter, you can't do anything other than stay indoors, which is a huge blow to morale, and if you don't have the high-level to come and encourage, or even publicize and bestow awards, maybe it will have an impact.
But Zhao Xin still worried a lot, these people sent by the Ding Navy, the least, have also been in the Ding Navy for more than 3 years, and in the past 3 years, they have enjoyed the good treatment of the Ding Navy, basically every one of them has lived like the rich people in the past, even above them, in this case, they are also quite homesick.
When people have no money, they can't care about anything else, they need to meet their own food and clothing, eat enough food first, and survive.
But after eating enough, even if you eat well and eat well, you want to gain status.
Before the Ding Navy, it was quite difficult to obtain status, the entire Ding Navy was only more than 300 square kilometers, a huge city, and the population density was quite high, but under such a population density, even if it was a middle-grade official, he only controlled a few blocks, or even less, such a status was not high.
But in the mainland, it has only been a long time, and it has occupied more than 150 territories the size of the Ding Navy, and in the future, there will be more, even if not every one of these lands can develop to the level of the Ding Navy, but as long as it is about the same, for them, it is a promotion, who doesn't want to go further.
And the generals who led the troops were even more so, as a group of people who had access to secrets, they knew very well how powerful the Ding Navy was, before, the Ding Navy was kept to prevent it from being seen by the Northern Song Dynasty, and now, once they entered the mainland, this point could not be hidden, and under the premise that the Liao State suffered huge losses, it seemed that it would not be a problem for them to destroy the Liao State.
At that time, even if they can't return to the Northern Song Dynasty to claim the king and hegemony, simply the emperor of the Liao State, this is also a direction, no matter what they say, it is also from the ministers of the dragon, which is a huge temptation for them.
Because it could freeze at any time, Zhao Xin only stayed in Vladivostok for a week, leaving a lot of rewards and supplies, and then left with the fleet, this time, he set out from the Ding Navy and arrived directly in Vladivostok, without staying too much in Jeju Island and Hokkaido, but when he went back, he had to go to both places.
Jeju Island and Hokkaido, the two islands hastily developed by the Ding Navy, were actually not very well run, and the Ding Navy used these two places as a springboard in the beginning, and their role was to serve as a transit station when the Ding Navy landed in Vladivostok on a large scale, and to bear the production of some things.
After all, all of them are transported from the Ding Navy, which will not only cost more expensive, but will also take longer, and if Jeju Island or Hokkaido has a certain output, this will be more supportive for this side.
You must know that in the closest place in Hokkaido, it is only more than 900 kilometers away from Vladivostok, and even if it is the location of the port, it will not exceed 1,000 kilometers.
Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, and after the previous occupation, it was already cultivated in Hokkaido, plus the fishing grounds of Hokkaido, a large number of fishing grounds, providing a huge amount of fish and meat, plus a small amount of food and materials, and finally made into finished military rations, and then transported over, which can save a lot of transportation capacity.
At the same time, some factories will also be established in Hokkaido, this is only temporary, and by next year, once the Ding Navy marches into the interior of the mainland, on the premise that enough land is occupied in the interior of the mainland and cities are built, these factories will be moved inland.
No matter what, even in Hokkaido, it is about 1,000 kilometers away from Vladivostok, after all, water transportation will incur costs and time, once an industrialized city is established, at the speed of replication of the Ding Navy, at most half a year, it can be continuously produced, and at that time, most of the materials can be produced from the city, which can support the Ding Navy for a long time.
Just when Zhao Xin left the Ding Navy and went to Hokkaido, the annual statistics of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty began again.
After the first statistics began at the end of the fifth year of Qingli, the three divisions set up a special department to make statistics on the entire financial revenue and input, and it seems that the personnel of one more department have been added, at least hundreds or thousands, but the final effect is very good.
Understand how terrible the current income of the Northern Song Dynasty is, the huge income, every year to a considerable extent, crazy growth, and most importantly, some subtle places, places that have not been noticed at all, have been noticed.
Just at the beginning of the sixth year of Qingli, hundreds of moths were pulled out, so the loss was reduced by more than 5 million, which Ye Qingchen did not expect.
5 million, put it four years before Qingli, that was almost a quarter of the financial income, this money is enough to fight a high-intensity war, you must know that the entire attack on the clouds, simple and direct military spending, that is, millions of guan, what really spends money is the reward behind.
And this corruption is continuous, in the fourth year of Qingli, because of the small income, but the losses they caused were also more than 1.5 million yuan.
Ye Qingchen was tired and tired before, but he only deducted a few million guan, so he was able to support the situation at that time, although there was an extra 1.5 million guan, and he couldn't add anything, but more, it was better than less.
Later, with the continuation of statistics, more subtle things were discovered, more people were involved, and the total amount of design was more, which also made Ye Qingchen pay attention to it.
Thousands of miles of embankments, collapsed in anthills, these small places do not pay attention, in the Northern Song Dynasty when the income is so huge, once it appears, the impact will be much greater.
Similarly, in addition to the statistics that can find these subtleties, there is also the overall planning, in the past, the appropriation and construction were too arbitrary, and sometimes, when the appropriation began, some things followed the price increase and cost more.
But planning in advance, before the announcement, all aspects were prepared, so that the cost was actually more economical than before, spending less money, and doing bigger things, which had always been what Ye Qingchen wanted to achieve, but he didn't expect that it would be so simple to achieve.
This system was realized here, and it took three years to get better and better, and at first it was just a few dozen temporary departments, and then it became a permanent department, and even conducted training, and was drawn from officials from all over the country, and even formed a system from the central to the local.
Although the resulting changes have not yet appeared, but the first benefits have come out, at present, there is no concentrated assault, no deliberate doing, some indicators of the whole year are collected, plus other aspects, the overall data has been obtained, to put it bluntly, very accurate.
In the seventh year of Qingli, the entire annual plan was completed 12 percent, higher than expected, and at the same time all kinds of expenses were further reduced, the same way, the total income also began to increase, in the seventh year of Qingli, because of the occupation and gradual development of Youyun, coupled with the upsurge of various production activities, the financial revenue of the entire Northern Song Dynasty officially exceeded 100 million guan, aside from investment and various expenses, the balance was as high as 25 million.
This is not the highest income, after all, in the sixth year of Qingli, because the plan was not suitable, there was a lot of money left, more than 35 million guan, but it was spent quickly after that.
This time it was really left, because the overall investment was a little saturated, whether it was a factory or a railway, Ye Qingchen didn't even know how to spend the money.
This is probably the first time that Ye Qingchen has such an idea after moving into the Third Division, and he has a balance of 35 million taels before, so he has no such idea, whether it is small-scale farmland and water conservancy construction, or expanding the investment in the construction of railways and highways, he spent the money all of a sudden, and there was still more than that, and he almost made a deficit at the end of the year.
