Chapter 503

This New Year's Festival, for the Northern Song Dynasty, is quite comfortable, needless to say the upper class, even if it is the most hard-working three envoy Ye Qingchen, he has seen the money for the first time, even if the construction of farmland and water conservancy in the north costs a lot, and most of the surplus funds have been invested, but from Renzong, as well as other aspects, the surplus funds, gathered, is also a large number, this is not, from the first time Renzong raised the reward standard during the New Year's Festival, it can be seen.

Ordinary people have also enjoyed the benefits, although their income has not increased much, but things are cheaper.

From the various products of the Dinghai Navy, the impact on the market, a large number of things began to drop in price, the most obvious is iron, itself supplied to the Northern Song Dynasty military, and occupied a huge civilian market, the price of iron from 80 Wen per catty, plummeted to 30 Wen per catty, a large number of blacksmith shops closed down.

However, this part of the people is not much miserable, because the vast majority of them have been recruited to the Dinghai Navy, and the treatment is not bad.

In the daily life of the common people, there are only a few, and these are also the focus of the production of the navy, because of the reduction of prices, relatively speaking, either they spend less money, or they spend the same amount of money and get more things, no matter which one it is, the common people can be regarded as a good example.

The influence of the Dinghai Navy has been highlighted in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and it has shown more and more powerful effects.

Dingjun's high-quality and inexpensive products, coupled with the fact that there are not many disasters, Dingjun has also digested some victims who can't survive, and it is unceremonious to say that the people of the entire Northern Song Dynasty are living very well.

The Northern Song Dynasty's method of dealing with the victims was very good, including the victims to form a box army, which was used to transform the impact of the disaster, and the reason why it became a disaster was not that this method was not good, but that the Northern Song Dynasty ignored the persistence and intensity of the disaster.

However, for the Dinghai Navy, there is no problem, not to mention the much developed industry of the Dinghai Navy, which can easily allow these laborers to create more value in the same time, even if it is to feed these disaster victims, the Dinghai Navy is afraid.

According to a prime-age laborer, 2 buckets of grain a day, a year, almost 8 stone of grain, in the middle, even if all rice, is only 5.6 guan, if converted into a variety of flour, miscellaneous grains, two or three guan is about the same.

Feeding a million people for nothing is only three or five million yuan, which is an unimaginable and terrifying astronomical amount for ordinary people or families, but for Zhao Xin and Ding Haijun, it is nothing at all.

After starting the industry simply from the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Xin sent to Renzong close to 10 million guan, and if this is calculated, he can even feed 5 million people.

5 million people, for ordinary local officials, is a terrible number, even a 100-fold reduction, the appearance of 50,000 disaster victims, will make local officials frightened, a little large-scale thing, that is a terrible disaster.

But if it is an industrialized Dingjun, his demand for labor is endless, and to put it bluntly, if it is really formulated according to the plan blueprint, let alone 5 million people, 10 million people is not much.

The future goal of the navy is to be Shanghai in the future, with a large number of high-rise buildings, under the rational layout, to accommodate tens of millions of people, some fantastical, to accommodate tens of millions of people, and produce huge benefits, is obvious.

In this New Year's Festival, even if the pressure of industrial production is not low, Zhao Xin also generously gave half a month of annual leave, for these ordinary farmers, only part of the family, and even all relatives and friends, have been transferred to the Dingjun, and the rest, most of the relatives, are in their hometown.

The Spring Festival is such a traditional festival, going home is a tradition, the foundation of the navy is not stable, there is no way now, forcibly leave these people to work here, of course, higher wages are possible, but when the salary and go home together, going home is still the most choice.

Zhao Xin's thoughts are more Yangmou, to put it bluntly, the people of the Northern Song Dynasty are not doing well, with the current salary level of the navy, as long as they want to change the status quo of the family, they will definitely be attracted here.

This is also what Zhao Xin thought of, a key to increasing the population of the Dinghai Navy to the greatest extent, even if it does not increase the fixed population, but the floating population is still to increase the labor force of the Dinghai Navy.

In the first year of the Dinghai Navy, the number reached 1.2 million, and the following commemoration is very crucial, and if the number increases by one million per year, the size of the Dinghai Navy will definitely increase significantly.

When the Dinghai Navy developed rapidly and expanded beyond imagination, and when the Northern Song Dynasty gradually regained its strength and regained what it had lost little by little, on the other side of the entire East Asia, on a huge grassland, it was not so stable and peaceful.

The Central Plains Dynasty has a long history and profound heritage, even those nomads who steal as kings are also easily affected by the Central Plains Dynasty, perhaps, the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar will not be their most important festival, but it has begun to become more and more lively.

Now, this Spring Festival, whether it is Liao Xingzong or Yuan Hao, there is no such mood, for Yuan Hao, this is the first Spring Festival after the capture of Xingqing Mansion, for Liao Xingzong, Yuan Hao made trouble in Liao, gave Liao a heavy blow, so that he had to be in the winter, keep hurrying, back to Liao.

On the prairie, a big war is brewing, and hundreds of thousands of troops are beginning to converge towards the prairie, and the target is Yuan Hao, who is in the hinterland of the prairie.

Yuan Hao's military level, among the heads of the Three Kingdoms, is definitely the strongest, even if these commanders of the Three Kingdoms are pulled together, Yuan Hao can also rank in the forefront, he has almost all the characteristics of a famous general, plus as an emperor, he can use everything under his command, which is also the foundation of Yuan Hao's ability to establish a country and be able to gain a foothold.

Yuan Hao chose Liao for development, but how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, even if it is intercepted all the way, and all the news that may leak is constantly killed, but the secret can never be completely blocked, this is certain.

After killing the group of envoys from the center of the Liao State, the clothes, seals, and even some war horses of these people are different, maybe the cavalry at the bottom will not notice this, Yuan Hao is sure to know.

After knowing this, on the surface, Yuan Hao was quiet, but in his heart he was very sure that it was only a matter of time before the news leaked, although the killing was going on on on the entire grassland, but he appropriately shrank his troops.

This contraction, of course, is under his absolute control, and has been carefully selected by the elite forces.

This will become an important team for his rise in the future, even if all the troops on the periphery are lost, Yuan Hao will not feel distressed, but he will not allow them to lose them casually.

Distributed around, the Tanma who kept investigating, had not found any signs of the Liao State besieging him, but for Yuan Hao, there was not much time left for him, and when he was considering whether to do a few more votes and choose to return, an unexpected encounter broke his plan.

Before the Spring Festival of the Han people, during an operation, Yuan Hao met a mysterious messenger, who met him on conditions that he could not refuse, and discussed a deal with him in a short time.

Such a person who suddenly appeared, especially if he wanted to go straight to the point, he wanted to come to see Yuan Hao, or suddenly appeared near the Chinese army, and when he saw his Tanma, he didn't dare to decide for himself.

In the end, it was reported to Yuan Hao layer by layer, the reason why Yuan Hao was able to have his current status was that he was thoughtful was only one aspect, and it was more of a crazy idea.

It was Yuan Hao's understanding that the secret agent in charge of the Imperial City Division did not get in touch slowly, but directly went straight to the point and informed such a deal.

At the beginning, Yuan Hao just wanted to see which side of the force this person was, and such a transaction made Yuan Hao understand that the pace of war was getting closer and closer.

20,000 pieces of Da Song standard equipment, and specially changed to the standard of heavy cavalry, this is a huge deal, and it is also a huge pie.

Yuan Hao has dealt with the Northern Song Dynasty for many years, and it can be said unceremoniously that he is quite familiar with the Northern Song Dynasty, and the capital he started from the Northern Song Dynasty came from the Northern Song Dynasty.

The demise of Western Xia was the result of the joint action of the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the Northern Song Dynasty used secret methods to blow up the walls of Xingqing Mansion, which was the real reason for the demise of Western Xia, and Yuan Hao should be even more angry with the Northern Song Dynasty.

In other things, it is more elusive, but in the military, Yuan Hao is still very cautious, if the Western Xia still exists, with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, bullying the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as it is not surrounded and annihilated, there will be no problem, and you can continue to gain benefits from weak links.

Even if he encounters a catastrophe, he can use this method to recover blood, which is also the real reason why Western Xia has not stopped Koubian in a few years.

With the background of the Li family in Western Xia, it is not easy to maintain a separatist force, and it was still given by the Northern Song Dynasty before, so it can be maintained, and if you rebel at all, everything depends on yourself, so you can only grab such a way.

The existence in Western Xia is absolutely different from the non-existence of Western Xia, the size of the strength in the hands, and the selection of objects in this way.

After the fall of Western Xia, there were only one or two thousand elites, even if they led the army, it was not more than 10,000, such an army could not fight with the Northern Song Dynasty at all, the reason was very simple, the Northern Song Dynasty was full of strong defenses, Yuan Hao had not touched the fortress, and did not know that in the northwest, with the help of Han Qi, the fortress had spread to all parts of Lingzhou, and what he considered was only the villages and various military cities that could be seen everywhere in the Northern Song Dynasty frontier.

One or twenty thousand people, when they arrive in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, maybe at first, they will take advantage of a little advantage, but after that, it will become more and more difficult, let alone development, even if it is barely maintained, it will be very difficult.

It is precisely because of the clear positioning that Yuan Hao can use his small national strength to meet the source left and right in the Three Kingdoms, and reach the current level.

Yuan Hao's choice was also very correct, in the gap that the Liao State did not realize, he entered the territory of the Liao State, first took down the Dangxiang clan, had enough, and could expand the population base, and then did not listen to the process of burning, killing and looting.

As for angering the Liao State and even attracting revenge, perhaps in the previous Western Xia, Yuan Hao would consider that now, there is only such a territory as Suzhou, even if Liao Xingzong is in Xingqing Mansion, he is not interested in chasing and killing, let alone after returning to the Liao State, no matter how much, it has increased the distance of two or three thousand miles, which is almost fatal for the feudal dynasty, even if it is the Liao State dominated by cavalry, it is impossible to send a large army to come.

In this era, the nomads, more skilled in arches and horses, have not yet developed to the level of light cavalry like Mongolia, they rely more on heavy cavalry, the three strong in East Asia, whether it is Liao, Western Xia, or Northern Song Dynasty, have had, or once had a terrible heavy cavalry, these are the main force known as the country's heavy weapons.

This is also the reason why Yuan Hao chose the Liao State, he is not afraid of the final revenge, and he can also quickly accumulate strength through the loose tribes of the Liao State.

However, although the Liao State is very good, all the development in the Liao State is quite smooth, and it has obtained huge wealth, which has dealt a huge blow to the Liao State, but the smelting technology of the Western Xia State is very poor, and the smelting technology of the Liao State is not much stronger than that of the Western Xia, and even more is concentrated in the Han people settlement area of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, not in the grassland.

For ordinary horse bandits, a horse, some weapons and bows and arrows are already good, but for Yuan Hao, who was the lord of Western Xia, these weapons and equipment are too weak, and it is okay to meet the general army, and really meet the elite, and even the heavy cavalry, this part of the army is really not enough.

Someone suddenly sent the trade to the door, Yuan Hao was vigilant, and when he saw the sample, more than 1,000 sets of heavy armor, he knew that this was definitely not from Liao.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty looks very weak, but he is very tightly protected for the step of the people, if you say 100 sets, maybe the Liao State can take it out, 1000 sets, 10,000 sets, don't be kidding.

If the Northern Song Dynasty's defense was so negligent, it would have perished a long time ago, and they would not have so many iron harriers, not to mention that all of them were iron harriers, there would be no problem with doubling them, with these, the pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty would also be huge, and he would be able to get more money and snowball to develop.

Even when he just knew about such a deal, and didn't even glance at the eight characters, Yuan Hao was already ready in his heart, such a batch of things, it must be in his hands, even if he paid some price for it.
