For an island, especially an island that has started industrialization, the solution of transportation power will play an immediate role.

Since the establishment of the Ding Navy, the huge bottleneck of the Ding Navy has been alleviated, and finally the overall situation of the Ding Navy has undergone unimaginable changes.

Before that, Zhao Xin almost spent a huge price to loot a large number of ships from the major shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River, which not only supported the entire water transportation system of the Ding Navy, but also transported the products produced by the Ding Navy to all parts of the world.

The production capacity of ships in the Northern Song Dynasty looted a large number of ships with money in the Ding Navy, at least, in a short period of time, it is impossible to have such a number of ships, but the pace of the Ding Navy has not slowed down, since Zhao Xin became the owner of the Ding Navy, the energy of industry began to explode, and the demand for transportation capacity is non-stop.

Since the industrialization of the navy deepened and the population increased, the problems that began to emerge have become the key problems of the navy in the past six months, because the problem of transportation has begun to sharpen, but since this year, it has begun to become acute.

At the time of the New Year, because of the New Year's holiday, millions of people left, which had a huge impact on Ding Haijun at that time, and it was only an emerging city that was established for about a year, with a small permanent population, and at the time of the New Year, the lowest population of the whole city reached a little more than 70,000, less than the vast majority.

Ding Haijun's commodities are in short supply, and the factories try their best to improve efficiency and increase production capacity, but the sudden holiday, or as long as 15 to 20 days of vacation, has a huge impact on the factory, basically, the entire Ding Navy, most of the factories have been suspended, only a few key factories such as steel mills and cement factories have maintained about 60% of the start.

If the simple reduction of personnel, the impact on the start of construction, is a one-time impact, when leaving, Ding Haijun raised in many ways, and effective coordination, in 10 days, let all the personnel leave Ding Haijun, it was in order, no one thought that on the return trip, the return peak.

In the adjustment of the holiday, the staggered peak was taken into account, but in the folk, the custom of going out only after 369 is very common, coupled with the adjustment of distance and nearness, when returning after the year, the set 10-day return period, the first four days and the last three days, there is not much pressure, all the pressure, are concentrated in the middle of the three days.

At its peak, more than 150,000 returnees were stranded in Haizhou.

In the past year, Haizhou has developed very well, the economy is active, and the annual income has tripled, but these are only in business, and places like inns have increased some, but they are not enough to receive 150,000 people.

The concentration of more than 10,000 people will be a headache for local officials, in fact, when the number of stranded people reached 30,000, Haizhou Governor had already come in person and urgently notified Ding Haijun.

Only then did Ding Haijun know that there was such a thing, and immediately concentrated all his manpower and material resources to solve this problem, mobilized tens of thousands of tents, as well as some other supplies, and dispatched all the ships that could be dispatched.

At that time, it was not a war, it was better than a war, from Haizhou to the Ding Navy, all nervous, taking this as a task, in just 3 days, almost squeezed out the entire capacity of the Ding Navy, risky from the river, as well as patrols, mobilized some ships, which barely dealt with a return peak.

In 3 days, a total of 650,000 people were transported, and the number of stranded people in Haizhou exceeded 157,000 at the peak, which did not leave much chaos, and at most, after they left, they left a mess at the docks in Haizhou.

This is hundreds of thousands of people, and they have to stay, eat, drink and lazar, and a lot of garbage is generated, but for this reason, it has also brought more than 1.2 million yuan of income to Haizhou, even if it is just business, but the direct income of Haizhou Government is almost 120,000 yuan.

Even if Haizhou has increased several times compared to before, the direct income of 120,000 yuan, the indirect income of hundreds of thousands, this is also a good income for Haizhou, if it is not too tired this time, and it may only be once a year, Haizhou is even willing to do this every month.

After Zhao Xin returned to the peak, he began to mention Haizhou Mansion and build a number of reception inns, which did not need to be in the center of the city, but in the wasteland near the wharf.

In fact, near the wharf, there have been some rudimentary inns, Haizhou is an important transit for the Ding Navy, from the land, as well as from the sea, the time is not very convenient, most of them will dock in Haizhou, China has never lacked smart people, and the business of making money has never lagged behind.

Haizhou is close to the Ding Navy, of course, you will enjoy the benefits of the Ding Navy, there are a lot of bricks or something, there is a lot of cement, and some of the new houses built in Haizhou are basically cement and reinforced concrete structures.

With money and resources, the speed of construction is very fast, and in a few months, an inn that can accommodate at least 20,000 people was built, not in the traditional sense, but similar to the later hotels.

The inn of this era is still the kind of bungalow with a courtyard, and some rooms even have a lot of rooms, which are very spacious, so that the inn is of course very good to live in, but the capacity is limited.

The kind of hotel in later generations, even if it does not have a very high floor, five or six floors, with a single building, one room, two or three rooms, a small place, can accommodate many people.

However, the construction of Haizhou, after that, did not have an effect, because there were too many people who came to Haizhou, and not only those who returned, but also migrant workers from all over the country.

This part of the personnel, they will not be as poor as the first batch of people who came to the Ding Navy, there is no way to come out, but the peasants of the Northern Song Dynasty, they have little money, some will follow the returning personnel, some have received funding from the returning personnel, but more of them want to come out and break through.

At the peak of the return trip, Zhao Xin realized this, because when he returned, there were a large number of other people, who followed the returnees, more than 1 million people who returned to their hometowns, through propaganda, followed by a million people, there were almost 300,000 people, these people, basically, returned to the Ding Navy with the previous transportation, but is this all?

Sure enough, those who were said to be moved, who came directly, were only a part, not a part of the whole, and those who did not make up their minds to come, but they had no way, or knew about Ding Haijun's part-time job through other channels, and they took the risk to come in order to change their fate.

When these people arrived, of course Zhao Xin would not block them out, the population represents the labor force, and this part is basically young and strong, which is much higher than the increase in population.

After the large-scale influx of population, in order to receive the return peak, the Ding Navy left a small part of the tents and receptions left behind to receive these people, and the Ding Navy even managed food and lodging, and after passing the classification, it was then transported to the Ding Navy, and after the initial training, it was distributed to various factories.

This has formed the style of the Ding Navy, and for a long time, it will be implemented in accordance with this, after all, the workers who have just come over, they may not be suitable for the Ding Navy, and they may not be able to get used to the way of working of the Ding Navy, and without training, the elimination rate will almost certainly be very high.

Later, the number of people who came over one after another was as high as 400,000, and most of them stayed in the Dinghai Navy, and not everyone who went back, not everyone can get used to the Ding Navy, even if they are attracted by high salaries, they can't earn money, or they are born lazy, so there is no way.

There is no passenger transport between Ding Haijun and Haizhou, although so many people came, most of them were sent over by Ding Haijun, that is, when it was time for the Chinese New Year, people went home, and for the peasants of this era, they could not afford to spend this money.

But at the beginning of going home for the New Year, passenger transport began to have, wealth does not return to the hometown, it is equal to the night trip in brocade, the income of the Ding Navy, placed in the Ding Navy, there is no comparison, there are so many people, the lowest dozens of a month, they are almost the lowest level of the entire Ding Navy.

But now, when I go home and look at it, dozens of times a month, hundreds of times a year, in the countryside of the Northern Song Dynasty, this is a lot of money, this kind of status, this feeling, absolutely different.

Of course, such a status gap will not make them give up their jobs, but those who are closer to home, during the holidays, or when they have enough vacations, will still go back, whether it is dealing with things at home or others, they are all active.

This will affect some jobs, but Ding Haijun, led by Zhao Xin, adopts the methods of the post-World War II for the workers, and even the lowest workers will consider their demands.

Perhaps in this way, the cost will be increased, but as long as the technology is leading, it has been much higher than others, and the cost of raising can be ignored, but it is a more gentle mentality, a better concentration, and a greater improvement in production.

On the other hand, in this Chinese New Year, millions of people went home this time, and how many people came over at once, with the help of holidays, or a certain holiday, they went back, there is no way to concentrate so much as this time, but subtly, maybe the effect will be better.

That's right, once you go home for the New Year, even if you spend a lot of money, everyone may just be curious, and even some not very good rumors, stealing and robbing are possible, but they keep coming back, coming back several times a year, every time there is a big incident at home, or when you need money, this is very illustrative, this is a long-term publicity.

The development of the Ding Navy is inseparable from people, the limit of the future of the Ding Navy is tens of millions of people, modern cities, can accommodate so many people, in the future, occupy some of the peripheral islands, even Taiwan, what is needed at that time is tens of millions, or even more people, where do these populations come from, not the Northern Song Dynasty.

Similar to Huainan East Road, when encountering a disaster, it is impossible to take the initiative to send it over, and even when the Ding Navy continues to attract personnel, in the locality, there will even be a labor shortage, even if the Ding Navy is prepared and will provide a large number of ploughs for free, but in the end, it is difficult to guarantee.

The growth of population is more of a natural increase, and now the Northern Song Dynasty is far from reaching its peak, and can only be subtly attracted in this way.

Festivals and personal holidays have become the basis for the flow of the Ding Navy to the southeast, and the passenger transport between the Ding Navy and Haizhou has begun to appear from scratch, because the total base of the Ding Navy is huge, and now it has a population of more than 1.8 million, even if only one ten-thousandth of the personnel flows every day, there are 180 people.

In fact, it is impossible to have only one in 10,000 people per day, almost 3,000 to 5,000 people, and if there is a holiday, this number of people will increase.

Three or five thousand people, it doesn't sound like much, some small counties in remote areas, there are almost so many people, most of the ships in charge of the strait before are 600 to 800 material ships, such ships are also cargo ships, after a simple modification, can almost accommodate more than 100 people, at the end of a day, it may take thirty or forty ships.

This kind of conventional passenger transport, the pressure is very huge, the ships responsible for coming and going here every day, an endless stream, from the beginning of ordinary sailboats, into wood pulp ships, and then to make a special batch of paddle steamers, so that on the basis of speed and transshipment volume, a unity has been reached.

As a result, between the Ding Navy and Haizhou, busy shipping, a short strait of dozens of miles, the ship is endless, the speed of the paddle steamer, can reach one and a half hours round trip, in the daytime 6 hours, can go back and forth 4 times, this is already the limit, and finally the number of paddle steamers active in this strait, reached as many as 20, and has maintained a momentum of growth.

In fact, on this waterway, the most traffic, or cargo ships, Ding Navy supplies, before the maritime merchants joined, almost the entire Northern Song Dynasty goods, are transported through this bay, to now, with the decomposition of the Yangtze River waterway, almost the entire Yangtze River basin is transported through the Yangtze River, which is almost reduced by one-third, but this side is still two-thirds.

Raw materials, finished goods, these have to be transported through this channel, compared with passenger transport, the amount of freight is almost more than 100 times that of passenger transport, which basically accounts for one-third of the transport force of the entire Ding Navy.

This is before, now with the addition of maritime merchants, the overall tonnage has increased many times, but unfortunately only a few months, a few months later, when the monsoon opens, no matter how much money is given, these maritime merchants will not stay here, they will seize the monsoon, leave the Northern Song Dynasty, and return to their own country, in this time, Ding Haijun must make up for the share of maritime merchants, this pressure is not ordinary.
