Chapter 802: Han Qi's Exploration
The train is long and neatly sprayed, all of a sudden the platform is full of smoke, the movement of the steam locomotive is very large, for Shenyang Railway Station, this is a very common thing, similar to steam, almost every moment on the platform appears, is a very common phenomenon.
Shenyang Station, can be said to be the entire Dinghai Navy, and even the core of the entire East Asian railway, the current Shenyang Station, a total of 26 platforms and 13 tracks, at least 300 trains every day, sent and passed here, it can be said that almost every hour, there are more than 10 trains.
The column carrying Han Qi is just one of the two or three hundred columns a day, but there are still many people picking up the station when this column arrives, and the status of the people who pick up the station is not low.
Han Qi's arrival still received the attention of the Dinghai Navy, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs came to greet him in person, which is not a high standard.
When Han Qi came, he informed the navy in advance, the two countries are the only remaining big countries in East Asia, and the relationship between the two countries also represents the stability of this area.
Speaking of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it deals with the affairs of the Dinghai Navy and other countries, but for the time being, in the whole of Asia, there is a relationship, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty, and other countries, although there are still them, but the distance between them and the Dinghai Navy is too far, and for the time being, when the Dinghai Navy land is expanded to a sufficient area, there is no need to expand for the time being.
A trusted ambassador is more important, if a new ambassador is still Han Qi, it is different, he is the prime minister of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and has been the prime minister for more than ten years, which is in Renzong's pro-government, after that, this is still the only one, he came to serve as an ambassador, which means different, so even the Minister of Foreign Affairs attaches great importance to it and comes to greet him in person.
On the platform, a little greeting, and then, it was Han Qi's new appointment, the original diplomatic envoys, none of them left, if they were replaced by a less senior one, the ambassador would leave without waiting for the handover, which was also normal for the feudal court.
Many county orders, even the prefect and the like, are not where the predecessor has been waiting, so how long will it take, after all, after leaving office, in most cases, you need to take another position, if you wait one by one, isn't it a waste of time?
Generally speaking, after receiving the transfer order, most of them will be simply handled, sealed, and left, and will not wait for the successor to come, and sometimes, there will be no chief officer in a place for two or three months.
Who is Han Qi, he is the first person in the entire Northern Song Dynasty in the past ten years, even if he no longer becomes the first assistant, but no one dares to look down on him wherever his status is.
Han Qi quickly entered the embassy, and then handed over to the original ambassador, the other party did not leave directly, but stayed safely for a week, and only left after a thorough handover, which not only included finances, people, and even some top-secret information.
Before, Han Qi didn't pay attention to those intelligence, this was Han Qi's mistake, and the mistake needed to be corrected, now is the time to reverse all this, Han Qi attaches great importance to this information.
Of course, the most important thing for Han Qi was to visit Zhao Xin, and he believed that Zhao Xin should be able to explain his doubts.
Han Qi's arrival did not make any waves, and when Han Qi said that the financial problems of the Northern Song Dynasty were a surprise to Zhao Xin, but that was it.
Just like an elephant will not pay attention to an ant, after the Dinghai Navy has basically been modernized, Zhao Xin will certainly not pay attention to the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the machine guns, artillery, and 400 mm train guns have appeared in the Dinghai Navy, and they are not afraid of where the Northern Song Dynasty can turn over.
However, the Northern Song Dynasty only lasted for 10 years, and then there was a financial crisis again, even if Zhao Xin did not conduct an in-depth investigation, he knew some, not to mention, and Han Qi's peace and discernment, how the financial problems of the Northern Song Dynasty were decided, the reason is very simple, and the bureaucratic system is getting bigger and bigger. The Northern Song Dynasty has never formed a complete system, but the bureaucratic system has gradually expanded, and more and more has devoured finance.
The solution to this problem is very simple: on the one hand, open source, like the fixed navy, has a large amount of income, and open source can support a huge bureaucracy, and on the other hand, it can reduce expenditure. After all, the revenue of the treasury is precious, and it is impossible to waste it casually, and every cost must always take into account the final value.
In the middle, there is another point that Han Qi and the Northern Song Dynasty officials did not pay attention to, that is, the income of the various factories in the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to decline, the reason is not that the factories are not developing, they are developing, but people are floating in things, similar to the state-owned enterprises that are difficult to return to in later generations, there is no system, but the bureaucratic atmosphere is brought in, the cost is rising, but the profit is declining, this coming and going, it is not a small number.
The well-informed Zhao Xin knew all this, but he couldn't tell Han Qi, and even said, said, Han Qi, as a vested interest, couldn't oppose himself.
For Han Qi, Zhao Xin knows very well, when Han Qi was young, he was influenced by Fan Zhongyan and became a reformer, but is he really such a person, he is very different from Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan has always been like this, Han Qi, when he was young, he may have such a mentality, with the growth of age, especially his background and thoughts, he was almost the foundation of the conservative faction in the future, but hindered the reformers.
This shows that he does not have a concept of stepping up and sacrificing himself to accomplish a certain change, so it is difficult for him to implement this.
For Han Qi, Zhao Xin still looks at it differently, although it is said that the Dinghai Navy has increased its investment in education and cultivated a large number of outstanding students, but this series is all moving closer to technicians and scientific research, as a scholar, later generations have also seen the faces of those bureaucrats, perhaps saying that the future Dinghai Navy will inevitably go to this, but in Zhao Xin's view, if they can avoid their arrival, they will avoid, in the Dinghai Navy, they have made a set of upgrade systems, and they will pass the recruitment and recruitment of personnel. and then upgraded in the official career, instead of being like the Northern Song Dynasty, the direct imperial examination, after passing the imperial examination and becoming a jinshi, he was directly accepted as an official.
The examination of the Navy is similar to the civil service examination of later generations, first enter the system, do the most ordinary things, excellent, or in a set of promotion systems, and then continue to be an official.
This is also the basis of the development of the navy, he does not want to see the bureaucracy born in his hands, he will postpone all this as much as possible, but all this is destined to come on the premise that it will be a little later.
Under such circumstances, the bureaucrats of the Dinghai Navy have developed very slowly, and they are all old people who have come down from the Dinghai Navy in the past, and although they are said to be enough, there are too few talents who can really see the overall situation.
These, in the Northern Song Dynasty, a lot, from the beginning of the Qing calendar, like a marquee to get the prime minister, basically, can serve as the top of the Dinghai Navy, of course, the amount, if it is reduced to agree with the Dinghai Navy, willing to serve the Dinghai, there are very few, among them, the score is relatively high, Han Qi is definitely in the forefront.
In the past, there was only a simple exchange with Han Qi, and at most some support was given, even if Han Qi arrived at the Dinghai Navy, the stay time was relatively small, but now, under the premise that Han Qi has become the ambassador of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Dinghai Navy, many things can be carried out.
If put 10 years ago, the goal of the navy is still the population, but now, the Northern Song Dynasty has gradually stabilized, the total population has been controlled at about 50 million, after 10 years of development, the navy is significantly different from more than 10 years ago, it is no longer a new country, but after 10 years of development, it has gradually stabilized, in this case, the navy has basically digested the land of Liao, as well as the population obtained from the Northern Song Dynasty, after 10 years of development, the population has been basically stable.
No one lives a good life and is willing to go to a bad place, for example, the Chinese in the 21st century, he wants to go to Africa, tourism can be, or what business must go, that can, but there is no difference in choice, to live in Africa, forget it, no one will be so stupid.
This is the overall situation at present, after stabilizing, it must be more demanding, and the navy does not do it to the Northern Song Dynasty, it does not mean that it does not want to, the entire original China region, which is the most elite place in the whole East Asia, especially now, when Siberia, Southeast Asia, and the Indochina Peninsula have been taken under the premise that it is equivalent to forming an encirclement, and if the Northern Song Dynasty is not taken down, it will not be possible to form a whole.
No matter how strong the control is, it is indirect, not direct, without direct control, in a certain sense, unstable. How fast the development of the navy and how fast the development of the Northern Song Dynasty was, in the initial time, it was true, but now the Northern Song Dynasty is lagging behind, not because the Northern Song Dynasty did not work hard, but because the Northern Song Dynasty had no direction.
The construction of more than 200 enterprises, as well as the things learned from the Dinghai Navy, became a whole, so that the financial income of the Northern Song Dynasty continued to rise, and three or four years ago, it reached a peak.
Dingjun, just next to the Northern Song Dynasty, the two countries, the connection is very close, maybe some top-secret things, or deliberately cover-up things, Dingjun doesn't know, the financial problem is not a secret for a long time, this doesn't even need to go over to inquire, look at the treatment of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of officials, and the degree of corruption, you can clearly know how many problems there are in the middle
Now, it has been discovered to be able to support it until now, which is very rare for the Northern Song Dynasty, in a sense, it is not easy, thanks to Han Qi's credit, and even according to Han Qi, Han Qi has found a way to alleviate the problem.
Lowering the salaries of officials will stand on the opposite side of all officials, but it can solve the problem, as long as we get through this crisis, in other aspects, we can limit and work a little harder, at least to delay the emergence of this economic crisis, there is no problem at all.
Being able to come up with this solution is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Xingao glanced at Han Qi, under the complicated conditions at that time, he was able to think of this method, or this way, and put himself on the opposite side of everyone, which shows his ability.
But these are destined to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and even if they don't find a way out for the Northern Song Dynasty, if they develop rapidly, they will also fall into this strange circle, but how to say it?
Han Qi, come here, ask this question, Zhao Xin does not have an answer plan, to be honest, does he have a way, yes, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty is merged into the Ding Navy, under the system of the Ding Navy, this can be avoided, but at present, it is not possible, then on the premise of not changing the traditional political pattern of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is still according to the previous accumulation, even if Zhao Xin is a god descended from heaven, there is no way to solve it, the fixed contradictions, and the inherent things, will continue to move forward, A huge bomb was formed, and once this bomb exploded, many people would be blown up to ashes.
This point is not transferred by any idea, Zhao Xin couldn't answer this question, so he simply didn't tell Han Qi, and even later, after meeting Han Qi, he didn't meet Han Qi anymore.
For this, Han Qi has no better way, after all, Zhao Xin is the emperor of the Dinghai Navy, the most powerful person in the whole of East Asia, if he doesn't want to see it, as Han Qi, and on the premise of asking for others, there must be no way.
Since there is no way, it doesn't matter, Han Qi believes that with his own ability, he should be able to find the answer in Dinghai.
Not to mention anything else, the two countries are so close, and there are ambassadors who are specially here, in order to find the secret of the strength of the Dinghai Navy, some things have been passed back, but they have not attracted the attention of the Northern Song Dynasty, and even from the middle, they have not found a solution to the problem.
However, as far as the things currently in hand, if the financial problems of the Northern Song Dynasty were huge, there would be no Dinghai, and the financial expenditure of the Dinghai Navy would be higher, which is not a proportion at all.
In terms of the salary level above the surface and the number of officials, the Dingjun Navy is even higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the Dingjun Navy also bears compulsory education and compulsory medical care, and the investment in these aspects is definitely more than several times that of the Northern Song Dynasty.
This point coupled with the total number of population, it stands to reason that the annual expenditure of the Ding Navy is almost more than 10 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the expenditure of more than 10 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty has a financial deficit in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Ding Navy has not appeared.
