The ninth year of Qingli and the tenth year of Qingli were the best and most comfortable times for the entire Northern Song Dynasty, with a substantial increase in fiscal revenue, a significant resolution of social contradictions, the political and social stability of the Northern Song Dynasty and the people's mood and mentality.

You know, before, as an official, you still have to worry about what to do if the poor can't afford to eat, or if there is any disaster, now, as long as someone can't get by, a ticket, or even go to the government to register here, you can have a ticket to Dinghai, at least speaking, you won't be unable to live.

At the same time, the reduction of a large number of people also alleviated social contradictions, the emergence of special industry and commerce, so that the landlords have a new direction of investment, investment in factories, and even railways, the income obtained, far more than in the land, rich and aristocratic families, except for the necessary, will not choose land annexation, on the one hand, reduce the price of land in the Northern Song Dynasty, on the other hand, also reduce social contradictions.

The increase in fiscal revenue has not only allowed the central government to have more money, but at the same time, it has also reduced some taxes, for example, the agricultural tax, which has not been adjusted for thousands of years, has begun to be adjusted, not to say reductions and exemptions, but planting subsidies, so that those who really farm can get benefits.

It seems that everything is going well, and even learned a lot from the Dinghai Navy, once the 100 factories are put into use, the personnel trained by these factories, as well as the personnel who have returned from the Dinghai Navy, will definitely be able to make the industry of the Northern Song Dynasty climb to another level.

However, when the financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty was at its peak and all aspects were making great progress, the crisis of extinction had been set.

100 factories, just put into production, seem to have a huge income, the average annual income is also very large, but all of this is based on the overall sales of the Dinghai Navy.

The larger the factory, the more things it produces, the production cost will be reduced, and they will be able to develop smoothly.

Take the pillar of the national economy in later generations, the steel industry, this is a cyclical industry, once the supply and marketing are booming, with the terrible production capacity of the steel plant, it is easy to create hundreds of millions of wealth, but if there is an economic downturn, for steel, when the demand for various heavy industries decreases, this is easy to make you lose pants are gone.

The Northern Song Dynasty, which has no economic perspective at all and does not understand what a modern industry is, does not realize this at all, and they will not even notice the role of sales.

With the improvement of labor force and the growth of production efficiency, his price must be constantly falling, and only in feudal society, under the premise of low manual and labor intensity, will it remain stable.

For example, in the current Northern Song Dynasty, this is the case, when the money is insufficient, silk is still used as a general equivalent, although the price of this kind of thing is not low, but once the industrial mass production, the price of this kind of thing will be rapidly reduced.

The relationship between supply and demand, that's what we're talking about, if there are fewer things and more people in demand, then the price of this thing will naturally rise, but if there are more things and fewer people in demand, the price of this thing will naturally fall.

The productivity brought by industrialization, machines and other things, under the constant innovation, the production efficiency is getting higher and higher, a person may be before, it will take several days, or even half a month to be able to produce a piece of cloth, but under the premise of mechanized production, you can produce a lot in one day, and the production efficiency has increased by more than 100 times, which brings of course, the reduction of prices.

In later generations, after ensuring the labor of the factories and the necessary profits in the factories, the prices of cloth and cotton in later generations were basically very different, and this was the power brought by industrial production.

Zhao Xin is very clear about this, and the management of the Dinghai Navy under the leadership of Zhao Xin is also very clear, but the Northern Song Dynasty does not know, he calculates the current income, and this income cannot be said to be wrong, but this income will change according to the passage of time, for example, high-priced things are scarce now, but in the future, the price may not be so high, because once there is more, when the demand is certain, the price will fall to a certain extent, and even when there are more things to a certain extent, the price will fall to the cost area, or even below the cost, it's all possible.

For large enterprises, no matter how much money is lost and made money, it must be put into operation, otherwise, once the large machine is turned off and turned on again, it will take a huge amount of wealth to be able to open.

If the original steel products of the Dinghai Navy still maintain a similar price as the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, a blacksmith workshop in the Daimyo Mansion can generate huge profits, not to mention, when the Dinghai Navy built a steel factory similar to the industrial era, in the feudal era, it was basically a money-making machine.

In the feudal era, because of the relationship between productive forces, the price of steel was very high, and the price of pig iron, before the opening of a large industry in the Dinghai Navy, a pound of iron was 80 Wen, so that a ton was 160 guan, and according to the annual output of 7 million tons, the income alone was more than 1 billion guan.

This is only the price of iron, and the most important thing in steel mills is not iron, but steel.

From the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, the improvement of texture has brought a lot of improvement in various tools, but iron is only the most basic of steel, with the leading technology, the technology of iron is getting higher and higher, and the quality is getting better and better, but among these irons, there are very few real steels.

After a long period of research, some blacksmiths have some secret techniques that can be used to refine steel irregularly, as well as meteoric iron, and accidental steel, which has been a very expensive thing from the very beginning.

The greater the hardness, the higher the quality, the higher the price, when the iron is 80 Wen, the price of steel, at least more than 800 Wen, this starting point is ten times, slightly better, a little harder steel, is 10 through, more than 20 through.

Divine weapons are even more expensive, at that time in the Daimyo blacksmith workshop, the first sensational auction, the divine weapon is one of the important attractions, at that time a can sell a thousand guan, or even more, you know, a sword, at most, that is, a few catties of weight, the price of a catty is hundreds of guan.

Dingjun's steel mill is not an ordinary steel plant, it is a steel complex with many special steels, the hardness value table starts from 5 and continues to 6.3, which is the hardness index of later generations, but in this era, not to mention 0.1, even if it is 0.01, there are huge differences, and even some hardness is about the same, in terms of sharpening, there are some differences, which will make a huge difference in quality.

Pull the highest hardness of the steel, that is far away, steel is not only a sharpness, but also flexibility, wear resistance, and some other important indicators, these are different, the range of application is also different, but even if it is simply just a hardness of steel, in the hardness of more than 5.5 steel, its price is very high.

According to the price of steel, which is 20 times that of iron, a factory of 7 million tons of steel is 30 billion. That's a staggering number.

If Zhao Xin did not develop other industries at that time, a simple steel plant would have been able to obtain huge wealth, but he did not do so, because this is not the path of sustainable development, no matter how rare things are, as long as they are constantly produced in large quantities, the price will definitely be reduced.

The unit price is high, the profit is high, but there is not so much sales, only by constantly reducing the price, so that the price is kept in a more reasonable range, so that it can be a suitable business.

The reason why we can still maintain such a high price and Lu Run, to a certain extent, is because there are only 100 factories, but the output value of these factories will be very huge, if it is not for the full transportation of the navy, all kinds of prices in the Northern Song Dynasty will collapse.

Even so, even if only about 5% of the products flow into the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, there will be problems, and gradually the price will continue to fall, and the profit will continue to decrease, the increase in workers, machines, and consumption, and the reduction of the total price, so that to a certain extent, the profit will decline.

However, I have to say that in the early days, the total amount of profits was quite considerable, and the financial support for the Northern Song Dynasty was also quite large.

Before the factory was put into operation, Han Qi had no bottom about the factory's income, but when the first batch of goods was sold, Han Qi relaxed, not only the funds for the canal project, there was no problem at all, even if there was no commission, just relying on these factories, you could have enough funds.

Relying on large-scale construction, Han Qi, who has stepped into a high position step by step, has brought this point into full play. In addition to strengthening the construction of Chi Dao, on the basis of the railway, he ensured that the Chi Dao built with cement could lead to various cities throughout the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty has money in its hands, and to a certain extent, most of the problems in the Northern Song Dynasty have been solved, and even a large number of idle personnel have been recalled, and some people have begun to be awarded official positions, of course, just some relatively small ones, but from the side, they have promoted the development of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

This canal also began to increase, the original width, length, or rather, may not be able to invest because of the huge investment, but also began to invest, and at the same time, with the help of a good relationship with the Dinghai Navy, and a large number of tools were introduced.

For the construction of canals and water conservancy facilities, and even transportation, the Dinghai Navy is very supportive, and even sometimes encourages this practice.

Because in the future, the Northern Song Dynasty is almost in the bag of the Dinghai Navy, even if there is more development, it is impossible to surpass the Dinghai, in this case, agriculture, transportation, which is very beneficial to the future.

What Han Qi didn't know was that everything he did was to make a wedding dress for the Dingjun, in this peak moment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the most peaceful era, but there was a hidden murderous intention.

Zhao Xin, who came out of the industrial society, as long as he wanted, could obtain a huge amount of wealth at any time, and at the same time occupied the Liao State, the size of the Ding Navy was extended, and it was unlikely that he would be interested in the land again, but in the future, the Navy would develop, a key issue was people, only with enough people, with the base of the population, could it be continuously obtained and expanded.

When everything was good and prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty, such a key issue of population began to appear, and the Dinghai Navy was no longer a straightforward and straightforward immigrant as before, but chose the method of labor export, which was carried out by points and areas.

These methods have a strong concealment, huge management costs, so that the Northern Song Dynasty took the initiative to transport all kinds of workers, the first year of more than 3 million, the second year is 1.2 million, and then almost every year to maintain the level of millions, so that in less than 5 years, at least 7 million prime-age laborers, were sent to the Dinghai Navy, their influence and the number of immediate family members, at least more than 20 million.

What is more attractive than the real enjoyment, just like the United States in the early days of reform and opening up, that is the yearning for anyone, the ability, the opportunity to pass, can let go of everything, what family, couples, and even children, in order to enjoy the air of freedom, the past without hesitation.

Now, the gap between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Dinghai Navy is even bigger than that of the United States and China in the 80s, and the most important thing is that in the face of this attraction, the Dinghai Navy has also made an overall layout, not only taking money, but also taking out the strength to relocate.

Such a good thing, everyone is willing, the immediate family, plus the affected personnel, a large number of people continue to leave, so that the Northern Song Dynasty suffered large-scale blood loss.

The confusion of the Ding Navy, coupled with the quiet action, when the Northern Song Dynasty found out, it was too late, this matter was also Han Qi's shame, the historical research of later generations, even if the Northern Song Dynasty was prophetic, there was still not much chance, but the defeat was so bad, almost there was no resistance, it failed, it was quite rare, not to mention, Han Qi was still rated as, the double virtuous appearance of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, many people have studied, in the end, when the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy were separated, there was no contact with Zhao Xin, and whether there was a tacit understanding.

Han Qi in this era, really did not have a tacit understanding with Zhao Xin, in terms of policy, he did a good job, his only failure is that he did not realize the important role of population, for the Northern Song Dynasty, which is dominated by agriculture, population, is really not that important, there are too many people, but there will be problems, coupled with the impact of huge funds, Han Qi was not able to find the problem at the first time of population loss, and finally caused severe consequences, so that the Northern Song Dynasty in the best era, the dust settled, this may be the burden that Han Qi has to carry, Even later, his contributions can't be washed away, maybe it's fate.
