Chapter 582: Talent and Efficiency
Although Zhao Xin believed very much that in the midst of the big waves and sands, there would be real gold, but there were so many of them, but he still didn't expect it.
But think about it, the political situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was stable, and the lives of the common people were better than usual, on the one hand, the officials were clear and clear, and a large number of corrupt officials had not yet been born.
The relaxed environment, the trend of writing, also let the literacy rate rank first in the entire feudal dynasty, these to the Dinghai, may not be literate, but in a cultural environment, slowly edifying, there is always some improvement, the proportion of born talents will also increase.
These, maybe in the Northern Song Dynasty, can't be played, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty only attaches importance to the imperial examination, hundreds of millions of people, how many people finally pass the imperial examination, once every three years, how many people are at a time, that is the top of the top of the best, not that you have talent, you must be able to, family, opportunities, and even famous teachers, all are indispensable.
Dinghai gave them the opportunity to give full play to the talents that they might not be able to use in their lives.
Not everyone will give them the opportunity to educate like the Dinghai Navy, and not everyone will give them the opportunity to waste thousands or even tens of thousands of materials.
These people can be regarded as an accidental discovery of the Ding Navy, and their strength may definitely be inferior to Niu Dali.
Niu Dali is Zhao Xin's biggest discovery after crossing, without Niu Dali, Zhao Xin may be able to continue to expand, similar to the blacksmith workshop like the Daimyo's Mansion, but it is impossible to make a blast furnace steel plant, it seems that it is only one step behind, but the knowledge in the middle is much worse.
In the 20th century, when China was making steel, the kind of small blast furnace, it does not mean that any villager patted his head on it, there was a certain scientific basis.
Zhao Xin didn't think that a big man like Niu Dali would stand out in this screening, which would greatly accelerate the development of the Dinghai Navy in the field of non-ferrous alloys.
The probability of this is too low, Niu Dali also has a smelting that he has been exposed to since he was a child, except for ferroalloys, other alloys with similar properties do not have too much talent.
Zhao Xin once thought about the reason, and finally gave a speculative reason, that is, in the field that he was gradually familiar with since he was a child, in countless days, Niu Dali is like a fish in water, but other projects are different.
The development of iron appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and when it came to the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the peak of a feudal dynasty.
After more than 600 years, aluminum alloy is the precious metal of the French Empire, not to mention other materials, polymer materials, not to mention the natural fibers that appear in planting, for example, cotton and linen silk, which are produced by plants and animals, they are natural materials.
The history of the use of natural materials can even be appealed to thousands of years ago, and there is even a vein that developed down China's silk, which is a fist product that has been continuously exported for China since the beginning of maritime trade.
It has been used for thousands of years, and some practical things have been studied, and it is much more difficult to synthesize them at first, and even in the 21st century, there is no way to synthesize silk, at most it is some substitutes, the kind of things that are replaced in some aspects.
Chemical synthesis of polymers, until the 19th century, until the 20th century began to systematically study things, this kind of thing, not to mention the current Northern Song Dynasty, even a few hundred years later, to the mid-19th century world powers, there are not a few, can have the opportunity to contact from an early age.
After all, many new materials in later generations, their researchers, have not been exposed to since childhood.
However, the training of later generations of scientists, from the very beginning, lay a solid foundation, a variety of basic teaching, a variety of learning methods, in the 12 years from elementary school to high school, basically completed, through the college entrance examination such a measure, and then enter the university, before carrying out some professional learning, after a series of studies, with enough theoretical knowledge, to be able to enter the newer field of research.
Of course, Ding Haijun wants to cultivate such a master, and even for Niu Dali, if he can be re-cultivated, his achievements will definitely not be at the current level.
It's a pity that this is destined to be an extravagant hope, Zhao Xin has used all his efforts to lay a deep foundation for the Dinghai Navy, but if he wants to complete the education from compulsory education to university education, and even graduate and doctoral education, it is almost a fantasy and an impossible task.
These talents who have emerged now have almost gone through the big waves and entered the first step, and may have exceeded 50,000 people, all of which have been accumulated in the past few years in the Dinghai Navy, and have gradually stood out from close to 2 million people, but they have gone through a complete screening process.
For Dingjun, with Zhao Xin in charge, the investment in the experiment is the first sequence, unlimited resources, unlimited funds, in order to increase a few people as much as possible, the entire elimination process is not eliminated after the collapse, it will be guided, recounted, and repeatedly screened.
It's a pity that talented talents are still hard to find, even if they are much lower than Niu Dali, and in the end, among the 50,000 people, after continuous cross-selection, only 12 people were finally selected, of which, 9 were on aluminum alloys, and the other 3 were on other compounds.
The whole selection came to an end, and the whole investment also made the Ding Navy rush to a staggering place, among the 50,000 people, the average consumption of various materials exceeded 500, that is to say, the process of selection alone wasted almost 1 year of revenue in the Northern Song Dynasty.
With a year's income, in exchange for 12 candidates, it is better to select people, rather than cultivate them, such a move, I am afraid that no one in the court will do this, and even the big housekeeper Ye Qingchen will unceremoniously say that Zhao Xin is wasteful.
However, Zhao Xin thinks that an excellent material expert will be very terrible for the improvement of the entire Dinghai Navy, and if plastic is made, many cheap goods will instantly flood the entire market.
Some people will say that the Northern Song Dynasty has such a big market, no matter how much you create it, how big it is, but an industrialized country that has undergone deep excavation is different from a country that is agricultural, and there are not many developed countries, and people's creativity is different.
Just like the Northern Song Dynasty, an ordinary person may be able to obtain 10 guan of wealth every year, which is already very good, which can be seen from the fact that a forbidden soldier can feed a large family, but the current Ding Navy, on average, can create a value of about 600 per person, that is to say, the Ding Navy is less than 2 million people, and the gross national product is about 100 million.
The gross national product is not equal to income, but there is a proportion, and the future generations may be 20% worse, in this era, of course, it is impossible for the Ding Navy to have such a high tax, everything is not perfect, and the high tax will directly make the entire Ding Navy collapse.
However, there is no tax on the Dinghai Navy, but there is a profit from Zhao Xin's operation, this profit, this profit is higher than the tax, and Zhao Xin doesn't need too many things, the money is basically subsidized to the construction, that is to say, the overall income of the Dinghai Navy will exceed 240 million yuan, which does not say the income brought by the Dinghai currency.
Speaking of which, no one may believe that a small Ding Navy, such a small land, can actually create the 10-year revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty, but in fact, he exists objectively.
The reason is very simple, Dingjun's products are new products, or replace the original materials, whether it is steel, or various daily necessities, or even porcelain, all of which have reduced costs and increased production on a large scale.
Dinghai, except for a small number of excavating and resource-based products, the rest are commodities, according to the entire Northern Song Dynasty, more than 100 million people, the average per person, in Dinghai sold 10 guan.
It sounds fantastical, but for the Northern Song Dynasty, the average is 10 guan, which is really not much, decades of peace, the Northern Song Dynasty is commercially developed, and a large amount of wealth is concentrated in society, which cannot be expressed in the form of money, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty is a money shortage.
However, with Dinghai coins and Dinghai's crazy purchase of various materials, the total value of 1.2 billion, the purchase of materials alone exceeded 100 million, and this amount of money was additional and income for the entire Northern Song Dynasty people.
Some of the raw materials can be collected in the mountains, and they can be collected with a lot of effort, and they have paid for their labor and earned money.
Money is put there, it will always be a dead money, he will not produce too much value, only flow, let them flow among different people, and then create value, this value, is not all generated by circulation, but because of the circulation of money, more people participate in the social division of labor, and replace leisure with busyness.
In the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, the peasants seemed to be hard, but in fact, most of the work was useless, and the value generated by the peasants was only so much that of farming.
In this era, most of the farmers planted seeds, then loosened the soil, watered them, and weeded them from time to time.
This is not very efficient, and the reason why farmers work hard is that a lot of their labor is focused on survival, for example, finding some food, chopping wood, and other things that are not their own work.
The reason why the production efficiency of the Navy is so high is that the most suitable person can do a certain link, reduce the waste in the middle, and add the role of the machine.
If the output value of agriculture is increased, so that their farming has a higher value, this will allow them to focus on this aspect, plant more fields, and other liberated people will fill in other aspects of social production, improve the overall production efficiency, and will also promote the growth of social wealth.
This theory, for the time being, is not something that the Northern Song Dynasty can understand, but with more and more changes in the Dinghai Navy, it will definitely become recognized by everyone.
Dingjun's huge profits come from the innovation of various products, such as mirrors and glass, which are purely a new material and application, even for traditional products, such as steel, and porcelain and other daily necessities, but also reduce costs as much as possible, and then generate profits and sales.
Compared with these changes to tradition, new materials are a key.
For example, the large-scale use of plastic in later generations has been counted, how many products of plastic there are, in short, in daily life, the products seen, almost all of them use plastic, with the low cost of plastic, even daily necessities, these things can be popular in the world.
12 people, basically enough, even if the level is not as good as Niu Dali, science and technology is not a single person can solve all problems, do not deny that some masters, can promote some science and technology, in a short period of time, to achieve huge development, but such people, in any era, are rare.
The level of these people is average, they can be regarded as the kind of backbone scientists of later generations, with Zhao Xin, a traverser, he has promoted the master level of the Dinghai Navy to a very high level, even Einstein's formula that can reveal the secrets of the universe, Zhao Xin can write it if he doesn't understand, and who can be more forward-looking than him in science and technology.
In a particular field, what he needs is precisely an expert who has come up with a certain theory, and who has filled it with things according to his theory.
What Zhao Xin understands may be that in the era of advanced information, the high-precision things filled in, at least, for this era, are high-precision, to improve the basic theories, and systematize them, this requires personnel, a large number of personnel
What can be left of these, as long as it is cultivated a little, can come in handy, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
Zhao Xin also knows that an elite like Niu Dali is really unavoidable, of course he expects that there will be another figure like Niu Dali, a Niu Dali has promoted the entire Ding Navy, and the development of steel is beyond the conventional, if there is a similar one on aluminum alloy, or even organic matter, to what extent will Ding Haijun develop.
However, it seems that the accumulation is insufficient, for the time being, no one similar to Niu Dali has been found, but the foundation of aluminum alloy and compound has been laid, although there is no result, but part of the verification process has been completed.
9 alloys, 3 compounds, these can form 2-3 laboratories, and some of the things learned in middle school chemistry can also be verified by the way.
However, aluminum alloy is somewhat advanced, and the performance of many aluminum alloys can be replaced by ferroalloys, at most some weights, the same aluminum alloy, there is a problem that cannot be bypassed is electrolytic aluminum, but fortunately, now, electrolytic aluminum has been completed in Dinghai, at least in the laboratory.
