Chapter 853: A New Goal
After the Spring Festival, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is the beginning of a new year, but for Dingjun, it is a new starting point, a day that can be remembered, and a day that can rise.
From the beginning of Zhao Xin's entry into the Dinghai Navy, the development of the Dinghai Navy has entered a fast lane, to put it bluntly, the development of the Dinghai Navy is changing with each passing day, from the very beginning, a small fishing village of 300 square kilometers has become a prosperous big city.
The island's congenital insufficiency, transportation is a big problem, raw materials have to be transported in, all kinds of products have to be shipped out, and at the same time, all the consumption of everyone to eat, drink and Lazar, except for their own output, needs to be transported in, which adds a considerable amount of costs.
This cost, perhaps because of the relationship between overall planning and large-scale transportation, this cost has not increased greatly, but this inconvenience does exist, coupled with the relationship between the land itself, among the many islands of the Dinghai Navy, there is not enough land to open a large industry, perhaps after getting the Ryukyus, Jeju Island and Hokkaido, it will be alleviated, but it is still insufficient.
All this, after the Liao State started, was completely resolved, the Liao State, which was more huge than the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the land nominally controlled by the Liao State, also fell into the hands of the Ding Navy, which jumped from a small island of only 300 square kilometers to a larger empire than the Northern Song Dynasty.
With enough land, it is possible to develop unrestricted, to meet every link of production, and to be self-sufficient in super-large industrial bodies, which is rare even for later world powers.
The United States, China, Russia, Europe, and the European Union, which are combined, are counted as one, and the others are not.
The strength generated by this industrial body is far from being comparable to that of the economy of the island countries, not only the scale of industrial investment has continued to rise, but also the scientific and technological strength has also been significantly enhanced, and at least 500 large enterprises have been established between the end of last year and the beginning of this year.
The large enterprises of the Dinghai Navy are not fooled by those things of the Northern Song Dynasty, those things can only be said to be fooled, a thing that can be commented on by street factories, and it is a large enterprise in the Northern Song Dynasty, although it can be called a large enterprise in terms of output and profits, but the large enterprises of the Dinghai Navy are basically enterprises with more than 50,000 workers and an important output value.
For example, a steel group with an annual output of 5 million tons of steel, such as the production of soda ash that can supply the world, and for example, in the chemical industry and heavy industry, plays an important role.
5 million tons of steel, according to the current steel price of the navy, 3 wen per catty, a ton is 6 guan, 5 million tons of total sales, but 30 million guan, but in fact, the importance and output value of the steel plant is far more than this 30 million guan.
On the one hand, iron is different from steel, the price of iron is cheap, the price of steel is high, and the price of different grades of rebar, and even other steel, may be tens or even hundreds.
A large steel complex, which includes not only steel itself, but also various steel products, these things, together, will form a huge heavy industry with an output value of more than 1 billion.
In the current Dinghai Navy, hundreds of millions are nothing, and some light industries, even larger street factories, can reach the level of hundreds of millions, but this influence and ultimate strength cannot be compared with heavy industry.
Heavy industry is not only capital-intensive, technology-intensive, machine-intensive, but also labor-intensive, although technology makes people use less and less, but the larger the consortium, the more people he needs.
For example, the current Liaoyang Iron and Steel Consortium, which is a large-scale consortium with steelmaking plants as the core and more than 300 supporting factories, and even in the future, with the continuation of research, as well as changes in steel quality and smelting, the number of these supporting factories will be more.
In the development of the Dinghai Navy, through technical education and university education, a group of people have been trained, and these people can act as high-end talents, and can become managers and researchers, but the personnel at the bottom are still needed, from other factories and mines, or from the adult people to dig deep potential, but this is a minority after all.
The arrival of 3 million migrant workers, perhaps these people, the strength is not very good, but they can play a role in substitution, from some light industry, or less important enterprises, transfer personnel, and then supplement to heavy industry, at the same time these people can also be upgraded, which solves the problem of expansion.
The arrival of 3 million workers, which is equivalent to saying, further stimulated the scale of industrial upgrading and expansion, for the Dinghai Navy, money is the most lacking, money is just a general equivalent, and then through this general equivalent for turnover, as long as the reasonable layout and promotion, you can continue to generate items, which is the real wealth.
Before the Chinese New Year, it strengthened investment and accepted 3 million Northern Song Dynasty laborers, many of whom worked temporarily, and even accepted their factories, which were not completely heavy industry factories, some were only temporary, but these temporary factories were already able to have a huge effect.
The ant people, this is the ruling class, and even the high-ranking people, for the views of ordinary people who are promoted to fight small people, it is quite disdainful, I don't know how many foolish people policies, why is this, maybe the people are the foundation, but this foundation is dilapidated and unnecessary, and even a small part, and the impact is really not big.
When these people were in the Northern Song Dynasty, the value they produced was not high, but as long as they were integrated into the industrial system of the Dinghai Navy, they could play a huge role and produce great value, even far beyond the value imagined by the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the view of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to obtain enough management fees, 3 million people, even if it is a basic management fee, can get 300 million per year, if it is upgraded a little, it is 600 million, and the highest can even reach 2.7 billion.
Some people also thought that the wool came out of the sheep, and Ding Haijun might treat Renzong and Concubine Miao well because of Zhao Xin's background, and would also give them money, but he would not give it in vain, and gave 100 guan a management fee, which must be to make more money.
In fact, it is really more profitable, not to mention anything else, it is really upgraded to the level of 6 workers, and it is also the top kind in the entire worker system of the Dinghai Navy, as long as these people are used reasonably, the value that can be created, how can it be represented by the annual management fee of hundreds of times.
Even those who really understand, there is nothing to be done, if the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if they are prime-age laborers, farming, each person plants 30 acres of land every year, and the yield of one acre of land is 3 stones, which is already the wind and rain, and even manpower can reach the extreme, a year income of 90 stones, according to the most expensive rice, 600 Wen one stone, is 54 guan income.
The income from working and working as coolies may be a little more, and it will not exceed 100 yuan, that is to say, even the initial and most basic management fees have already obtained the wealth created by a person's hardest work in a year, which is also the source of the enthusiasm of officialdom at all levels in the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, Dingjun is not taking the road of agriculture at all, agriculture has a limit, the birth, aging, sickness and death of plants, there are natural laws, and manpower also has an end, in all kinds of farmland machinery, and even automatic machinery, without the premise of thorough popularization, it is impossible for a person to plant 30 acres, even if it can, it will be exhausted.
However, for industry, the higher the technical content, the higher the effect and output, and the higher the labor efficiency of the individual, which is the role of industrialization.
The arrival of a large number of people, especially the labor force of 3 million, is an important supplement for the Dinghai Navy, and at the same time, in the next few years, the purpose of the Dinghai Navy has been determined, and the purpose is to continuously obtain the population from the Dinghai Navy, and by the way, some minerals and materials can also be obtained.
The fact that there is no way to expand the Northern Song Dynasty does not mean that the Dinghai Navy will stop, and it can also stretch out its hand to other places. The world is so big, and there is not only such a territory as East Asia, but also a lot of land that can be controlled.
Land is always the foundation, a narrow, only a few hundred thousand square kilometers of a country, may become very rich, but it will never be a strong country.
Just like the Nordic countries in later generations, such as Switzerland, they can obtain a certain amount of wealth by virtue of certain industries, and even this wealth is quite huge, but such wealth is almost impossible for them to become powerful countries.
Not to mention compared with the five permanent members, even compared with the second and third rate, such as India and Brazil, it is far behind.
The reason is the land, in the development of science and technology and people themselves, without the premise of transcending the land, the land is the foundation of everything, the land is the foundation of everything, without enough land, it cannot become a big country.
In just a few years, the Dinghai Navy controlled by Zhao Xin has achieved leapfrog development, even if it does not say that it occupies the land of Liao, it is said that it has islands, and it has controlled Taiwan's Ryukyu Island, Shrimp Islet, and the huge islands are enough to accommodate more immigrants.
The area controlled by the Dinghai Navy, unconsciously, actually has 38 million people, of which 30 million are the victims who immigrated from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the rest, a small number of local ethnic groups, will not exceed 2 million, and the other 6 million are all Japan and Korea, and some are Han people from Southeast Asia, these people are gathered together to form a huge city similar to the Dinghai Navy.
The huge land can produce a huge amount of food, these are not the limit, because Zhao Xin knows very well that when the population growth brought about by peace reaches a certain level, it will be developed by leaps and bounds, and even after controlling the Liao State, for the time being, the food problem will not appear, with the crazy growth of the population, it may be overturned in 10 years, and the food will soon be insufficient.
There are two solutions to this problem, one is to continue the attack, to get more land, and then to get more cultivated land, so that this grain can meet the basic needs, and at the same time, to the sea, to the sky, to the breeding and mountains, to fight for more food.
As a time-traveler who has traveled through the consulting era, Zhao Xin may not be able to accurately draw a complete map of the world, but he can draw the approximate location, and some of the situations around China in the world are very clear.
At this time in Asia, with the land of the Liao State currently occupied, Siberia to the north, it was the world of nomads, and they could not even resist the Jurchens and the Liao State, let alone the Dinghai Navy.
It is possible to send tens of thousands of troops, casually, you can take these lands, thousands of miles of land, or even thousands of miles is not a problem, even the later generations of Mongolia, can be through cavalry, to the Danube, not to mention the more armed Dingjun, and even unceremoniously said, Dinghai's huge infrastructure capacity can make all the occupied lands become stable, and there is no problem of being taken away.
Unfortunately, these lands are barren, the land in the alpine zone, the natural conditions are relatively harsh, and it is okay to obtain wood, but it is not easy to get food.
There is a better direction of development, why go to a worse place, a better direction of development, is to the south, the tropical region in the south, Southeast Asia is more superior than the south of China, just sprinkle the seeds, you can get a lot of harvest, the future world, that is one of the grain exporting countries, where there is a sufficient amount of arable land, enough population expansion to a considerable extent.
In later generations, Southeast Asia was also a traditional region with a relatively large population, and now it is a time when the land is vast and sparsely populated.
However, there is a problem with the development of the south, in this era, because of human activities, these places where there are no human activities at all, there are too many miasma.
This miasma, to put it bluntly, is that there are too few people, all kinds of microorganisms, in some warm and humid tropics, crazy evolutionary development, and finally, to the terrible point, for people, for all kinds of creatures, this kind of creatures are deadly.
In the medical system, when microorganisms have not yet been deeply penetrated, or even solved by microorganisms, rashly going to the southern tropical regions will not bring benefits, but may be death.
Of course, the navy can also be used in the way of plantations and colonies like Spain and Portugal, which proved to be useful later, but these are useful for Europe in history, and for the rapid development of the navy, they have little effect, and they are prone to the problem of not falling behind.
The land that the navy wants to acquire must be incorporated into China, which is very controlling, and if there is a hidden danger, then there is no need to develop it.
Most of the land suitable for habitation and cultivation in East Asia has fallen into the hands of the Dinghai Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty, and if you want to expand the land, it is unlikely that it will be possible in a short time, so you can only dig deep into the outside world, and even this Zhao Xin has already laid out, that is, to go to the Americas, obtain the land of the Americas, and obtain the three major crops of the Americas.
