Chapter 689: Population and Contradictions

Because of the emergence of Zhao Xin, Dingjun from the very beginning, is not in the traditional way of development, by chance, he embarked on a road of heavy industry development, although the investment in heavy industry is huge, but this is the country's important weapon, once the investment is completed, it will continue to create value, even in the 21st century, as long as it exceeds a certain profit margin, the total amount is very amazing.

The large-scale heavy industry of Dinghai Navy, which is based on the iron and steel plant, can guarantee hundreds of thousands of tons in the early stage of the completion of Dinghai, and after the construction reaches its peak, it will reach an output of 2 million tons.

The output of 2 million tons, this number, in China in the 21st century, is not very eye-catching, but in the Northern Song Dynasty in the 11th century, even if it is the most powerful Northern Song Dynasty in the whole world, his annual output is about tens of thousands of tons, and it has expanded to 2 million tons at once, or the quality is better, if you simply sell refined iron, this number will be an astronomical number.

The characteristics of heavy industry are not only high input and high output, but also in terms of replicability, as long as there are reasonable resources and technical personnel, it can be quickly replicated.

Due to the limited land area, it was good to be able to build a 2 million ton steel plant, but it was gradually improved, but the total output was controlled, because the land utilization rate of the Dinghai Navy was too high, and it was impossible to put it all on the steel plant.

After occupying the Ryukyus, the Ryukyus were a suitable place, with not only coal mines, but also iron mines, which naturally had the possibility of expansion.

After the establishment of the steel plant, many aspects of transformation, the final steel plant, the simple steelmaking furnace, has been improved at least 30 times, the efficiency has been improved, the output has increased, just because of the area, there is no way to use.

After the rebuilding of the steel plant, it not only quickly reached the previous level, but also expanded rapidly, and quickly surged to 5 million tons, which is equivalent to the output of the mainstream developed countries before the First World War, not to mention the number of Italy and Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, these five first-class powers, they did not each exceed the output of 5 million tons before the war.

Huge production capacity, produced a large amount of steel, these steel must have a place to digest, the traditional feudal society of the cold weapon army, is a place of consumption, but this is too little, according to the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army 800,000, according to each person consumes 100 catties of iron, is 80 million catties.

This amount, for the Northern Song Dynasty, for the feudal society, is very amazing, a person 100 catties, including a more than 40 catties of armor, a full set of various weapons, shields, and even a lot of tools are made of iron, but 80 million catties of stickers, but 40,000 tons, this number, for the previous Dinghai, is a very small number, not to mention the present, the total output has exceeded 6 million tons of Dinghai.

Only industry, as well as construction, can consume iron on a large scale, for example, railways, is a large amount of consumption of railways, according to 4.5 tons per kilometer, 2000 kilometers of double line, the consumption of steel, is tens of thousands of tons, plus the train itself, the number is more.

This order of magnitude is far from being supported by non-industrial manual production, which is also the fundamental reason why railways will only appear in industrial society, and some people have thought about how to solve the problem of transportation, but they have not been able to solve it well.

The development of the Dinghai Navy seems to have been a little faster, and it has fundamentally surpassed the initial moment of tens of thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of tons, and it is directly hundreds of thousands of tons, millions of tons, and the subsequent increase is also based on millions of tons.

Iron ore, especially in the initial stage of development, the degree of profitability of iron and steel, which is not comparable to ordinary industrial products, on the basis of steel, ordinary steel, made into machinery, the increase in profits in the middle, compared with the initial time of iron, rose much higher.

This is the industrial upgrading of the Dingjun, when the beginning of machinery has become a new growth point, after assisting a part of the high-end products, the Dinghai Navy at least began to disappear at the ordinary level, and even the proportion in the economy began to decline a lot, replaced by the vigorous development of industrial manufacturing, all kinds of machines, produced by the factories of the Dingjun, and then sent to the Northern Song Dynasty through the combination, to obtain excess profits.

While these given navies created high profits, they also increased the industrial output value of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the industry began to flourish from scratch.

In just one or two years, the industrial scale of the entire Northern Song Dynasty started from scratch, and then expanded wildly, I don't know how many times it expanded, and a considerable part of it was a large-scale industry invested by the government.

In this sense, large-scale industry appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and as a result, state-owned enterprises appeared, and the emergence of enterprises with leading technology and some monopoly characteristics further increased the income of the Northern Song Dynasty.

From the sixth year of Qingli to the eighth year of Qingli, in just three years, the Northern Song Dynasty not only built more than 40,000 kilometers of railways, but also increased its financial revenue, from 50 million yuan per year, to more than 90 million yuan.

In the sixth year of Qingli, after the completion of the Northern Expedition, Han Qi had accumulated all the credit for further progress, and after that, he repaired the water conservancy in the entire Youzhou area, although someone reported him for buying and selling people, and all the people in the original Youzhou land were sold short.

But as long as it is proved that these people were not killed or slaughtered, and that they are alive and well, no one will come out as these natives or aliens.

On the contrary, with Han Qi's move, the north was completely stabilized, it turned out that it belonged to the occupied territory, and the Northern Song Dynasty had rich experience when it was founded, and a lot of land was expanded, not to mention anything else, the Southern Tang Dynasty, it took many years to completely calm down, really retract, and become the belonging of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was decades later.

No matter how you say it, they are all homesick, and if this becomes a minority, or a different race, this time will be longer.

Now, whether it is the Han people, the Khitan people, or even other ethnic groups, basically, under the premise of being cleaned up, the people who immigrate directly have a very strong sense of belonging.

Most of them are people who can't live in the local area, and after they arrive in Youzhou, they will have their own homes, they will get enough land, and then they will live a good life.

This is their foundation, and only if Youzhou exists, they can do this, so that they will support and support it with iron heart, which is very critical to local stability.

Not to mention, by betraying these people, Han Qi obtained at least 30 million yuan in his hands.

Even if it is the seventh year of Qingli, under the premise of entering a series of key investments and obtaining a relatively large industry, the income of Qingli in seven years is only more than 90 million, which is the number of all the income combined, and 30 million is a lot.

Han Qi is also very smart, and he also knows that he has not stayed in Youzhou for a long time, and he has spent this amount of money in almost a short time.

At any time, spending money can have a very good effect, and it is the same in the Northern Song Dynasty, with the tools of the navy, the effectiveness of these money is very obvious, and Youzhou immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, not only quickly stabilized, but also obtained output, whether it is food, or other minerals, have greatly stimulated income.

With the help of this credit, Han Qi directly bypassed the privy envoy and achieved the position of prime minister, and the original Zhang Dexiang, of course, was delegated and became the governor of a certain state.

With the efforts of Han Qi and a large number of other young and cutting-edge officials, the rapid development of the Northern Song Dynasty will raise the financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty to a new level almost every year, and under the premise that the total income exceeds 90 million guan in the seventh year of Qingli, it is possible to break through to 100 million guan or even more in the eighth year of Qingli.

Similarly, while developing the economy on a large scale, the phenomenon of excessive officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was also curbed, and from the 4th year of Qingli, a large number of temporary structures began to appear in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as the Yellow River Governance Committee, the Railway Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

These are at the national level, or rather, they used to have similar functions, but they were not taken seriously, they were just a small part of the six ministries, but with the development of business, these departments are becoming more and more important.

You must know that at present, the Northern Song Dynasty Taxation Bureau alone accounts for more than half of the annual income, which still deducts ordinary taxes and the income of large state-owned enterprises, otherwise, the total amount will be more.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau, although the income is not much, but there are more than 10 million yuan a year, but more importantly, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can also register, manage, and investigate and count some enterprises.

In addition to these specially listed departments, some temporary, or because of the development of all aspects, and the new addition, there are more and more, the huge officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, are quickly digested, the same, because of the improvement of all aspects, the Northern Song Dynasty's financial problem has been perfectly solved, not only every year, can ensure about 10,000 kilometers of railways, the same way, the country's concentrated investment is also more and more, more and more.

It seems that the Dinghai Navy has disappeared from the vision of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the superior projects have been replaced step by step, and the threat of the Dinghai Navy has disappeared in the eyes of some people, but in fact?

The development of the Dinghai Navy can be described as magnificent, from the sixth year of Qingli to the eighth year of Qingli, in just three years, the population of the Dinghai Navy has increased sixfold, from 5.5 million to 33 million.

Occupying a quarter of the population of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, in the middle, it also experienced some twists and turns, in fact, when the population exceeded 10 million, the impact of the population growth of the Dingjun Navy had spread

The population of the Northern Song Dynasty is almost 120 million, which is more than 3 million square kilometers of land in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

However, after the number of these exceeded 8 million, which was already considerable, and more than 2 million were attracted, inevitable conflicts arose, especially under the premise that the scope of naval radiation was not large, and the labor force in these places arose.

No matter how dull an official is, when there is a problem with the labor force, and even when there is not enough labor force for ordinary farming and land reclamation, many aspects will be affected.

At this juncture, the Dinghai Navy also attached great importance to it and prepared a lot of plans, but fortunately, these plans were not used, and another aspect solved this problem.

The large-scale construction of the railway, when the cattle and sheep in the northwest entered Bianliang, and then transported to various places through the developed water transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The price of all kinds of cattle, sheep and horses, from the original high, began to drop sharply, down more than 4 percent, ordinary farmers, perhaps cut down on food and clothing for a period of time, you can buy cattle and horses.

The injection of cattle and horses did not bring about a reduction in the price of meat, but a large-scale increase in productivity.

Before the development of Chinese farm tools, is under the accumulation of countless people, gradually changed, there may be some wisdom in the middle of the finger, but more by grinding, take the plow, may be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the promotion of some, but not very high.

However, in Dinghai, physics and various mechanical theories were popularized, which was very important for the lifting of the plow, and the material of the plough itself was equally important.

It is impossible for a wood plough to be able to exert a stronger effect than an iron plough or even a steel plough with a superb design.

Dinghai, can use better steel, can be on the original basis, considering the use of strength, taking into account the principle of engineering, these together, the new agricultural tools, on cattle and horses are used separately, compared with the original, at least several times better, especially horses.

Although the strength of the horse is a little smaller than that of the ox, the speed of the horse, as well as the effects of various aspects, is much greater than that of the ox, and after strengthening the role of the plough itself, the degree of sharpness and the degree of force, the horse has obtained a greater improvement than that of the ox.

These cattle and horses entered various places in the Northern Song Dynasty, liberated some laborers, and let the conflict between the Ding Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty gradually link, but the Ding Navy's crazy and demanding requirements for the population, to a certain extent, at 10 million, there will be no problems, and when it reaches 20 million or 30 million, there will definitely be problems.

Dingjun hopes that this time is as late as possible, time, not only to allow Dinghai to accumulate more strength, but also to make the residents of Dinghai have a stronger sense of belonging.

On the one hand, they have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Dingnavy, on the other hand, they have more wealth in the Dingnavy, once they give up, it is equivalent to three or four years of hard work, all in vain, and they are not willing to enjoy such a life.
